Chapter 2256: Chapter 2258: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing
She seemed so ordinary, just one among the multitude, yet at this moment she was so dazzling, as if the light of the world shone only on her, radiant and spectacular!
Gu Linxi was a regular at this underground arcade. Cui Jiangjing played for the first time and was quickly killed by the terrorists in the game, but she led the team and cleared the level on her own.
When the “good!” sound effect played, the machine started spewing out game coins, enough to fill a basket, attracting quite a crowd of onlookers.
She calmly grabbed a small basket to collect the game coins and then dragged him to play Whack-a-Mole, fishing, racing games…
Initially, he was reserved, but he soon loosened up completely as he played. His athletic talents were exceptional; although he started off mediocre, it was just unfamiliarity. As he got used to it, he cleared levels frequently.
He was tall and striking, and his overall aura did not match the dark and noisy underground arcade. As he kept winning, he drew attention from many, both men and women.
Especially the girls, once they saw him, they couldn’t move. They tugged their friends and gathered in groups quietly behind him, watching him play games.
“GOD!”
Once again, the sound effect of clearing a level played as he finished the billiards game, and the machine spat out a lot of redemption tickets, prompting many of the little girls watching to exclaim ‘Wow’ in envy.
Cui Jiangjing, tall with long legs, walked over and bent down to tear off the small redemption voucher, adding it to his accumulated pile of ‘Spoils of War’.
In the midst of cheering, he took Gu Linxi’s hand, his voice low and rough, “Let’s go, exchange these.”
“You’re not playing anymore?”
Gu Linxi followed behind him.
Cui Jiangjing curled his thin lips, his mood seemed quite good, “Hmm, I feel much better now. There are too many people smoking here; it’s too stuffy, not suitable for you.”
“…” Those who play at the underground arcade are either teenagers or local hoodlums, along with some rebellious girls, all fond of smoking. She visits occasionally and is neither fond nor averse to the smoke.
But Cui Jiangjing wouldn’t let her stay inside too long, claiming the smoke was unhealthy, and led her to the prize redemption area by the entrance.
“Hello.”
He put a basket of redemption tickets on the table.
“Prize redemption? Here, the prizes are all in the cabinet. See what you’d like.”
Cui Jiangjing turned back to ask her, “What do you want?”
Gu Linxi was momentarily stunned, pointing at herself, her clear black eyes reflecting surprise, “Me?”
“I don’t want anything. You won the vouchers, choose something for yourself, anything will do.”
Due to his status, he wouldn’t smoke the cigarettes here, nor would he fancy any of the flashy-looking lighters… Seems like the only options are toys.
Speaking of which, Little Pig’s 6th birthday seems to be coming up.
She got lost in thought, considering whether to buy Li Duidui a small toy.
“How about this?”
“What?”
She was thinking about other things when suddenly Cui Jiangjing looked at the items in the cupboard, mostly stuff young people like: cigarettes, fancy lighters, toys that kids enjoy, and then there were plush dolls.
His gaze suddenly fixed on a Q-version Little Pig plush doll, and he couldn’t look away. Asking her, he said to the staff, “Take this out for me to see.”
“Which one?”
He pointed on the glass of the cupboard, “This one.”
