Chapter 229: Scene Reenactment

As her gaze swept over the bustling stalls not far away, Yu Youwei's eyes were filled with burning excitement.

She immediately joined the ranks of those trying to persuade Shen Yan.

"Brother, let's go, please?"

She tugged at the hem of Shen Yan's down jacket, swaying it gently, her voice sweet and cloying, just like a young girl acting coquettishly toward her boyfriend.

Since they had happened upon it, Shen Yan agreed; he finished the remaining rice noodle roll in his hand in a few bites and tossed it into the trash can nearby.

Then, surrounded by the two women, he strolled toward the stall.

Chen Shanni always held 120,000 percent anticipation for fresh things she had never experienced before; she followed closely behind, standing on her tiptoes and lifting her chin to look around.

It was quite reminiscent of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Upon arriving at the stall, the high attractiveness of the group of four instantly became the focus of the entire scene.

The owner was a middle-aged man in his early forties with a sharp and discerning eye; among the group of four, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly Chen Shanni, who was dressed in an exquisite gray short wool coat with a matching belt cleverly wrapped around her waist, which not only outlined her slender waistline but also added a sense of fashion and dimension.

She paired it with a simple yet stylish black fishtail skirt; with a little observation, one could see that every move Chen Shanni made revealed an elegant temperament, as if it emanated from her very bones.

One look and it was clear she was someone who wasn't short on money.

However, the owner still addressed Shen Yan first; it was clear that this boy was the true backbone of the group.

"Handsome, want to play ring toss?"

Shen Yan asked how the rings were sold, and the owner said the rings were one yuan each, starting at twenty yuan, 60 rings for 50 yuan... and so on.

Shen Yan took out two hundred-yuan bills directly, and the owner smiled so sincerely that the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes squeezed into several deep furrows.

Hehe! He loved this kind of generous customer.

Much better than those stingy guys nearby.

No wonder they brought three great beauties with them right off the bat; those other guys could only bring crooked melons and cracked dates, it wasn't without reason.

With a total of 250 rings, Shen Yan grabbed a handful at random.

He left the rest for the three women to take.

The three women were having a great time over there; in the front row were small animals like rabbits and turtles, which had a huge attraction for girls and also had the highest probability of being caught.

Just like that, Chen Shanni caught a small turtle with her first five rings.

She jumped three feet high on the spot, as if she had won a five-million-dollar jackpot, hugging Wu Yueer and cheering excitedly.

"I got it! I got it!"

This scene made the corners of the surrounding people's mouths rise uncontrollably; happiness is truly contagious.

Yu Youwei and Wu Yueer were not to be outdone, as rings flew from their hands one after another, successively catching lipstick, cups, and night lights—none of which were particularly valuable items.

Although the harvest wasn't great, it was better than nothing.

In short, being happy was what mattered most.

Afterward, Yu Youwei set her sights on a husky plush toy in the back row; its appearance was exquisite and its lines were smooth, perfectly matching her aesthetic standards, yet she threw thirty rings in a row and they all missed.

"Wow!"

Just at this moment, a cry of surprise came from the crowd.

Yu Youwei turned her head to look; it turned out that Shen Yan had caught the Guan Erye in the very back row, and the onlookers were all cheering and applauding.

So, Yu Youwei decisively sought foreign aid.

"Brother, I really like that husky, could you help me win it?"

That expression, that tone, made Shen Yan break out in goosebumps all over; he quickly said, "Youwei, can we talk normally? Doing this makes me very uncomfortable."

"But don't all boys like it when girls act coquettishly?"

Shen Yan flatly denied it: "Who told you that? I don't buy that act."

Yu Youwei took him at his word and immediately returned to her normal way of speaking; Wu Yueer found it funny from the side and quietly shot Shen Yan a flirtatious eye roll.

Bullshit he doesn't buy that act!

Every time she hugged Shen Yan and acted all clingy and coquettish, Shen Yan's mouth would always turn up; he was clearly enjoying it and couldn't extricate himself.

When it comes down to it, it's all about the relationship.

If a man likes you, he will be willing to accommodate your joys and sorrows; if a man doesn't like you, even if you pour your heart out, it's useless.

Having been together for so long, Wu Yueer considered herself to have a deep understanding of Shen Yan and knew how to please him; for example, she was always straightforward and spicy toward others, but in front of Shen Yan, she was like a little bird, obedient and well-behaved, and this strong contrast gave Shen Yan a massive sense of accomplishment.

Therefore, he liked her more and more.

Wu Yueer grasped this psychology perfectly and was happy to do so; act a little coquettish, be a little cute, and the man would be willing to spoil you to the heavens.

Why not do it!

How should one put it, the ring toss business is not only liked by children, but adults also can't put it down, though people are mainly looking for the novelty and there are basically no repeat customers.

So, street stall owners usually have to change locations every two or three days, but this situation is a different story in scenic areas, where the customer base is constantly changing every second.

Excluding the stall fee, Shen Yan estimated that the owner still made several thousand a day, so he didn't hold back at all when spending.

Looking at the position of that husky, Shen Yan calculated the force and angle.

He adjusted his posture and focused his mind.

The next moment, a ring flew out.

It landed precisely on the husky's nose and stopped firmly.

"I got it! I got it!"

Yu Youwei immediately jumped on the spot in excitement; no wonder Wu Yueer said Shen Yan was good at ring toss—at such a distance, he actually hit it on the first try.

The onlookers also exclaimed repeatedly; Shen Yan had thrown a total of five rings and caught two big items.

It didn't feel like a fluke.

The owner looked at Shen Yan with suspicion, but didn't say anything, stepping forward to happily hand over the husky plush toy.

In this crowded night market, even if he encountered an expert, he wouldn't panic at all; at worst, he would lose a little money, and it would still attract a large crowd of customers to watch.

Just convert the customer traffic into clients and make up for the losses.

Seeing Yu Youwei hugging that large husky with a beaming face, and not forgetting to send a provocative look, Wu Yueer felt a bit unhappy.

She thought to herself: "What is this! If it weren't for the fact that you look so pitiful, and out of consideration for our friendship as roommates, I wouldn't let my man play the ring toss for you."

So she said in a soft, sweet voice: "Shen Yan, help me toss a ring for that DIY wooden villa, I like it so much."

Shen Yan was already accustomed to this demeanor of Wu Yueer and didn't feel awkward, but Yu Youwei was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, and she said with dissatisfaction: "Yue'er, speak properly, Brother doesn't like this act."

"I'm different from you, I don't need to deliberately try to please him." Wu Yueer looked indifferent.

Hearing her say this, Yu Youwei's anger vanished instantly.

That's right! Why did she always treat Wu Yueer as an imaginary rival, when clearly Wu Yueer had never done anything out of line and had always maintained the demeanor of a good friend with Shen Yan.

It was she who was too narrow-minded.

So her attitude shifted, and she praised: "Yue'er, you have such good taste, I also think that little villa is especially beautiful."

"Right!" Wu Yueer smiled.

After all, the other party had no bad intentions, and she couldn't be bothered to bicker with a young girl.
