Chapter 1761: Such Terrible Technique

Facts proved that Jiang Motian's luck today was... terribly bad.

She hadn't managed to catch a single one.

In the end, Jiang Motian gave up.

Seeing Xie Wanyi watching from the side for a long time, she handed the last few game tokens in her hand over to him.

Then she asked, "Do you want to try?"

Before this, Xie Wanyi had never played a claw machine.

He wasn't interested in this sort of thing either.

But since his girlfriend had extended the invitation, Xie Wanyi naturally had to give it a try.

As it turned out, after this attempt...

He was even worse than Jiang Motian!

The mechanical claw grabbed nothing but air!

Xie Wanyi felt a bit embarrassed.

Gripping the joystick, he said to Jiang Motian, "Let me try one more time."

"But the game tokens are all used up."

"We can just buy more."

"Forget it, next time. My luck is bad today."

Xie Wanyi didn't want a next time; he wanted to conquer this claw machine today!

But from behind, a teasing voice came first: "This isn't bad luck, it's just that your skills are too trash."

This voice...

Jiang Motian immediately turned her head and saw Li Moning standing there with her arms crossed, looking helpless.

"Momo, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in class today?"

"I did go to class, but our teacher doesn't have strict requirements now; we can leave once we finish our assignments. I finished early today, so I came to hang out with my classmates."

As she spoke, Li Moning pointed to a few students not far away.

Those students, both boys and girls, were around the same age, their faces still very childish.

Seeing Jiang Motian look over, a few of the children politely waved at her.

Jiang Motian felt their vibrant energy and smiled immediately.

And this smile of hers made a boy in a green hoodie across from them feel as if his eyes had lit up.

The boy even took the initiative to walk over and politely said to Jiang Motian, "Hello, big sister."

"Hello."

Li Moning hadn't expected him to come over on his own, so she teased, "Why are you so polite today? At school, you've never taken the initiative to greet the teachers."

"Hey, if our teachers could be as beautiful as this big sister, then my mouth would definitely be as sweet as if it were smeared with honey every day!"

The boy's behavior was a bit glib.

But because he had a fair, clean appearance and his voice was still a bit babyish, it didn't feel greasy.

Instead, one would feel that he possessed a kind of naive, unworldly innocence.

At this moment, the other children walked over as well.

They seemed very familiar with Li Moning, laughing and joking, all very relaxed.

Jiang Motian watched with a smile, feeling moved in her heart that Li Moning was getting along well with everyone.

The smiles on her face had increased, too.

And this discovery made Jiang Motian feel even more that the decision to send Li Moning to the Genius Class back then was absolutely correct...

Just as Jiang Motian was silently reflecting, the boy in the green hoodie took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her: "Big sister, are you playing the claw machine?"

Jiang Motian blinked, coming back to her senses.

Then she smiled and replied, "Yes, I am."

"I'm very good at the claw machine. Which one do you want, big sister? I'll catch it for you."

"Hmm... let's go with that pink one."

The boy hadn't been exaggerating; he really did catch the pink doll.

And after that, basically whichever one Jiang Motian pointed at, the boy could catch.

While they were having a great time over there, Xie Wanyi was observing silently from the side.

By now, he had figured out the trick.

He then nudged the boy aside and said gently to Jiang Motian, "Let me try."

"Alright."

Jiang Motian felt that it was just a game, and as long as they were happy, that was enough.

Even if Xie Wanyi failed again, she would absolutely, definitely not laugh at him.

However...

Xie Wanyi was no longer the novice player from just a moment ago.

Just like the boy in the green hoodie, he could catch whichever one he pointed at!

Later on, Jiang Motian didn't even need to speak; Xie Wanyi just started grabbing them!

This willful way of catching them resulted in Jiang Motian being unable to hold all the dolls.

People had already gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Everyone was clicking their tongues in wonder.

But the shop owner was on the verge of tears.

He braced himself, interrupted Xie Wanyi, and pleaded: "Could you few please not make things difficult for my small business?"

At this moment, the dolls in the claw machine were nearly all grabbed.

Jiang Motian was already feeling a bit embarrassed.

Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, she hurriedly said: "I am truly sorry!"

Xie Wanyi, however, felt such an apology was completely unnecessary.

He tilted his head slightly and said to Jiang Motian: "We grabbed them with our own skill, why should you feel embarrassed?"

The boy in the green hoodie felt this was a good opportunity to show his attitude.

So he also spoke up: "You can't stop us from playing just because we're good at it. This machine is placed here to be played, isn't it?"

"It is for playing, but clearly, this machine is for ordinary people to play; you two, however, are not ordinary people, so you should go play something else."

Jiang Motian's voice was sweet and soft.

Moreover, her tone was not harsh.

When persuading others, she was even smiling.

This made the boy immediately switch sides: "Big sister is right, let's go play something else!"

Before playing something else...

Jiang Motian looked at the pile of dolls in her arms, then said to the boss: "I will only pick two, and put the rest back."

"Oh my, the young lady is truly kind! How about this, I'll gift you two hundred game tokens; aside from the claw machines, you can play whatever you like!"

The boss was quite polite, so Jiang Motian happily agreed.

However, out of this pile of dolls, which ones should she keep?

Jiang Motian took a look, then said to Li Moning: "You pick one first."

Who would have thought, Li Moning shook her head and spoke bluntly: "I have already passed the age for playing with these kinds of dolls."

Uh...

If she had passed the age, then Jiang Motian...

At this moment, Jiang Motian felt a bit awkward.

She did not know whether she should take them or not.

Xie Wanyi saw Jiang Motian's awkwardness and took the initiative to resolve the situation: "Her not liking them is her own business; you just take yours and be yourself."

Jiang Motian nodded gently, accepting Xie Wanyi's words.

As for Li Moning, only at this moment did she realize how inappropriate her previous words had been!

This made Li Moning feel very annoyed.

After thinking for a moment, she began to make amends: "I just think the dolls here are poorly made and not worthy of you, sister. Sister, I'll take you shopping in a while, and we'll go buy the newly released limited edition dolls!"

"No need, this one is quite cute."

How could Jiang Motian truly mind her younger sister?

After the brief awkwardness, she casually picked two dolls.

The rest were stuffed back in all at once after the staff opened the claw machine.

Watching the dolls tumble in with a clatter, Jiang Motian suddenly felt very relieved.

"Big sister?"

The boy in the green hoodie spoke obediently.

After Jiang Motian looked over, he asked with a smile: "Can you give me one, big sister? It just so happens I can take it back for my cat to play with."

"Sure, this one has a fur ball on it, the cat will like it."

"Thank you, big sister."
