Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

1211 No, I Have to Get One for You

Ji Haoyu came back to his senses and said indignantly, “I was just practicing just now. I’ve never played it before. I’ll definitely get it for you this time.”

As he spoke, Ji Haoyu threw four more tokens in.

The same duck and the same method. Ji Haoyu stared at the clip in a daze. He looked at the position from both sides, making Jian Ai unable to help but laugh. “What are you doing? Those who don’t know might think that you’re measuring Feng Shui there!”

As soon as Jian Ai finished speaking, Ji Haoyu had already slapped the button. The four-sided clip opened wide again. In the end, just like the first time, as soon as it picked up the duck, it let go, and the duck fell back.

“Eh?” Ji Haoyu stood on the spot and blinked at the machine. Then, he turned to look at Jian Ai, who was smiling until her entire body was shaking. He said inexplicably, “Is there something wrong with this machine? Did you see that? I clearly picked it up!”

Jian Ai looked at Ji Haoyu and felt that he was suddenly a little cute at this moment. The claw machine punished someone she could not deal with at all!

Jian Ai gave Ji Haoyu a look, showing for him to continue. “This claw machine is like this. If it was that easy, someone would have already picked up the doll!”

Ji Haoyu’s temper also flared up. How could he lose face in front of this girl? Today, he had to get a doll for Xiao Ai!

Unfortunately… ideals were voluptuous, but the reality was bone-chilling!

Ji Haoyu tried twice more, but he still couldn’t get the doll.

With only the last four tokens left, Jian Ai couldn’t help but walk forward and pat Ji Haoyu’s shoulder. “Come, stand aside. It’s time to show my true skills!”

Ji Haoyu moved to the side unwillingly, but he refused to admit defeat. “There’s a problem with this thing. You definitely can’t pick it up!”

Jian Ai smiled and said, “This is a classic example of you blaming the Earth for not having gravity when you can’t pick yourself up! Watch carefully. Sister will give you a pig!”

Jian Ai shook the joystick. Without Ji Haoyu’s messy observations, she aimed at a pink pig inside and slapped the button down.

Ji Haoyu watched the clip fall without blinking. Just like before, the clip picked up the pig and slowly raised it. If nothing went wrong, the mouth of the clip would relax in the next second and the pig would fall back.

Yes, that’s right. The script was the same!

However…

“Congratulations! Congratulations!”

The sound of a machine cheering sounded. A small pink pig rolled out of the exit. Jian Ai bent down to pick it up and turned to look at the dumbfounded Ji Haoyu.

“Hey, you gave me a necklace, so I’ll give you a pig!” Jian Ai stuffed the pig into Ji Haoyu’s hand, but she could not hide the smugness in her tone!

Ji Haoyu looked at the pink pig in his hand and lost control of his expression for a moment. He looked at Jian Ai in a daze.

Jian Ai was amused by his expression. Ji Haoyu was already confused. He had failed four times, but others succeeded after one try.

However, Ji Haoyu could not be blamed for this. There were indeed some small techniques required for a claw machine. In her previous life, when Jian Ai was in university, she often played with the claw machine with her classmates in the mall. In the beginning, she could not pick it up. It was just for fun. Later, an experienced classmate shared some small techniques, and she learned them.

In 2002, before the claw machines became popular, it was not a problem to fool Ji Haoyu, who had never played with claw machines.

Most importantly, looking at Ji Haoyu’s lifeless appearance, Jian Ai felt it was worth it. It was finally time to make Ji Haoyu suffer once.

“No, I have to get you one!”

At this moment, Ji Haoyu came back to his senses and stuffed the pig back into Jian Ai’s hands. “Help me hold the pig. I’ll go buy tokens!”

With that, Ji Haoyu walked to the boss and bought fifty tokens!

Jian Ai did not stop him. To her, it was rare enough to see Ji Haoyu suffer once. How many times would he take to catch the doll? She would have fun watching him!

Once!

Twice!

Thrice!

…

This claw machine seemed to have a grudge against Ji Haoyu. He did not let him succeed once. After using fifty tokens, he bought another fifty!

At first, Jian Ai was more interested in watching, but after a while, looking at Ji Haoyu’s stubbornness, her heart suddenly ached.

This claw machine made him doubt his life!

“Eh? Why don’t we forget it?!” Jian Ai said, “If you can’t pick it up, you can buy one for me!”

“That won’t do. That’s different!” Ji Haoyu seemed possessed. As he picked it up, he said, “I have to pick one up for you personally!”

Jian Ai: “…”

Sigh, someone had said in the beginning, “If you like dolls, I’ll buy you a big one later!”

In the end, he spent dozens of yuan to pick up a small one!

However, Jian Ai could tell that if he did not pick one up today, Ji Haoyu would not have the intention to stop, so she said nothing and silently accompanied him to get the doll.

Not only Jian Ai, but a group of onlookers had also appeared around them. They were all watching a handsome man bend down and ‘fight’ with the claw machine!

After countless times, the machine finally sang, “Congratulations! Congratulations!”

Ji Haoyu picked up a small tortoise!

The moment the tortoise fell from the exit, Jian Ai saw a different light instantly ripple between Ji Haoyu’s eyebrows. It was as real and warm as a youth who had experienced a spring breeze…

This scene was like a ray of sunlight that shone into Jian Ai’s heart, affecting all her emotions in an instant.

“Here, I’ll give you a tortoise!”

These words shattered all the concepts!

Jian Ai looked down at the green tortoise in front of her and blinked.

Jian Ai reached out to take it and handed her pig to Ji Haoyu. “Do you want this?”

Ji Haoyu accepted it without hesitation. “Of course. You picked this for me. I’ll go back and worship it and burn three incense sticks every morning and night!”

Jian Ai rolled her eyes without hesitation. “You spent dozens of yuan to get a tortoise. You can buy over ten of them in a toy shop!”

“The meaning is different!” At this moment, Ji Haoyu seemed to have completely forgotten his sorry state from facing the claw machine just now. He looked at Jian Ai and said, “I worked so hard to get it. You have to take good care of it!”

Jian Ai chuckled. “Alright, I’ll buy a safe for it when we get back and set three passwords. I guarantee no one can steal it!”

Ji Haoyu smiled and nodded. “I think that’s fine!”

On the way back, Jian Ai sat in the front passenger seat with Ji Haoyu’s gift in her hand. She was hugging a small tortoise and leaning against the back of the seat to sleep.

For some reason, every time she sat in Ji Haoyu’s car, she could let herself fall asleep. It was the feeling of being unaware of any danger and especially at ease.
