Chapter 336: The 'like you' hidden in the bottom of my heart

The two walked easily, sticking forward in the crowd, stopping and going, stopping at the stalls they were interested in.

Even though there were many people around, they felt there were few, as if the world only had each other, and they could hear each other's breathing.

"Monitor, is there anything you want?"

At the balloon shooting stall, Lin Li stopped when he walked by with Chen Yuying, pointed at the prizes hanging on the board wall, and asked with a smile, raising an eyebrow.

"Is that an elephant? It looks quite cute. If I want anything most, it would be this one."

Chen Yuying looked at it, listening to the tone of Lin Li who wanted to show off, and chose a doll.

She could want anything, but she could also not want anything. As long as he wanted it, she could want it.

"Boss, how do you play this?" Lin Li asked excitedly.

"30 yuan for 25 bullets. Depending on the number of balloons popped at the end, choose your prize." The boss, who was organizing the balloons already inflated on the ground, walked over to introduce.

"How do I get that doll?" Lin Li pointed at the elephant.

"That's one of the best. You have to pop 22 balloons to choose it." The boss looked at it and answered with a smile.

"Fine, no problem. First round, 30, sweep it." Lin Li nodded.

The price of 30 was on the expensive side, but fortunately, Lin Li was a little rich man.

"You can only miss 3 shots, eh. Or should I change to something I like?" Chen Yuying leaned over and said with a smile.

"Heh, monitor, you can absolutely trust my marksmanship now." Lin Li patted his chest.

"Let me tell you this: at my current level, even if Jesus was protecting Lao Ken who was leaning on Lao An's chest a hundred meters away, I would have the confidence that one burst of fire would send all the bullets through their bodies, but no one would have any new wounds."

"Lu Bu, who shot the halberd at the gate, would have to come and apprentice under me."

Lin Li was indeed quite confident.

His 【Imitation】 ability wasn't for nothing. What's more, to maintain this shooting ability, he had been "learning" a little bit while 【Imitation】 was active.

Chen Yuying: "..."

No "new" wounds appeared, Lin Li is so detailed.

Chen Yuying lowered her head, her lips pressed tightly, but her shoulders gradually began to tremble slightly.

Still laughed out loud, merit, my merit, *wu wu wu*.

Chen Yuying reached out and patted her head, hoping for some remedy.

Seeing this, Lin Li also stretched his little restless hand over, but Chen Yuying, who had her head lowered, saw the shadow approaching on the ground and immediately stepped back to dodge. She raised her head, her gaze triumphant: "I won't let you take a picture."

"Why?" Lin Li was confused.

Only letting yourself add merit, why so selfish!

"Hmph," Chen Yuying wrinkled her nose, "No reason, my head, my decision."

Didn't pat when I wanted to pat in the morning, and now want to pat again?

What were you doing earlier!

Lin Li didn't force it, just sighed very regretfully. When the traces of performance dissipated, his face returned to that gentle smile.

It might not be up to you to decide in a moment.

"Fine," Lin Li handed the toy rifle on the table to Chen Yuying: "Monitor, you play first. After you miss three shots, hand it over to me, I'll provide the bottom line!"

The strong must have absolute confidence!

Lin Li: "... tat"

He is Wang Yuezhi *wu wu wu*...

Eh no!

Looking at the elephant doll in Chen Yuying's hand, Lin Li felt a mix of five flavors in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuying hugged the doll, seeing Lin Li's complicated expression, flicked the elephant's nose at Lin Li, and asked knowingly with a smile.

"The money was spent by me, but I didn't get to play a single shot... Monitor, if it really doesn't work, why don't you compensate me some money... transfer 20 to me, ten yuan is me treating you..."

Lin Li's eyes were sad, looking up at the night sky.

"Pfft—" Chen Yuying couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Just now, Chen Yuying hit 23 out of 25 shots. This doll was won by her directly, and it had nothing to do with Lin Li.

Oh, no, it still had something to do with it—Lin Li paid the money.

Lin Li looked at the stall owner.

"Boss, why do you keep replenishing balloons? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you wait until someone finishes their bullets before replenishing? How do you make money like this? Is the cost of this doll not even 30?" Lin Li said weakly.

It wasn't that Chen Yuying's marksmanship was superb.

It was just that while Chen Yuying was shooting balloons, the boss was right next to her, and as soon as a balloon popped, he immediately put the already inflated balloons on the ground into the empty positions.

It was also an infinite refill.

So much so that Chen Yuying basically only needed to aim at the area with high balloon density, and she could pop them—the two shots that didn't hit weren't that they didn't touch the balloons, they just happened to hit between two balloons, and the BB bullet grazed the balloon but didn't pop it.

Otherwise, popping 25 out of 25 would have been no problem.

Just like that, the protagonist Chen Yuying easily took it down.

Just like that, the supporting actor Lin Li stood like a sidekick.

"You two are handsome and beautiful, it's comfortable to look at. Uncle is in a good mood, it's a gift for you." The stall owner laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"So is the cost 30?" Lin Li asked.

"You two are handsome and beautiful, it's comfortable to look at. Uncle is in a good mood, it's a gift for you." The stall owner laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Lin Li: "(；o_o)?"

F*ck, is it an illusion?

How did I hear it again.

F*ck, it seems this elephant doll's cost wasn't 30. No matter how the stall owner played, he was making money.

But thinking about it, it was normal.

Even for those Disney dolls that cost hundreds or thousands, excluding brand premiums, the cost was only a few dozen yuan. The cost of the doll itself wasn't high.

"Boss, can this doll be left here temporarily? We'll come back to get it from you later." Lin Li pulled the elephant nose in Chen Yuying's arms and said to the stall owner.

It was indeed inconvenient to hold this doll while continuing to stroll.

"Can you come get it within half an hour? I have something to do, I'm actually going to close the stall in a while." The stall owner scratched his head after hearing clearly.

Case solved. This was the truth about the crazy balloon replenishment.

"Then that probably won't work. Thank you, boss." Lin Li nodded. He still planned to stroll for quite a while, half an hour definitely wasn't enough.

Then Lin Li stretched out his hand, pulled the elephant's nose Chen Yuying was holding, tilted his head, and walked forward: "Let's go, monitor."

"Mm."

Chen Yuying's gaze climbed along the folds of the elephant's nose. Lin Li's hand had slender fingers and distinct knuckles, looking fair in the warm golden light.

Chen Yuying pursed her lips, lowered her head to look at her hands holding the elephant's wind-catching ears, and shook the ears.

What his hand grabbed might not just be a doll, but also a wisp of drifting wind under her skirt.

When the force of grabbing the nose became a bit stronger, Chen Yuying came back to her senses, followed up and walked side by side with Lin Li, and asked:

"Buy something at another stall and put it there? Or just hold it like this, I won't feel tired."

"Also—" Lin Li just wanted to nod, then his eyes lit up, turned back to look at Chen Yuying: "Monitor, I might have a better way."

"Monitor, just stay here and don't move, I'll go help you store a few *o-run-ji*." Lin Li brought Chen Yuying to the wall, then bent down and exhorted.

Chen Yuying: "..."

Pinglu Street hadn't kept up with the times to the extent of having storage lockers on the side of the road.

However, Chen Yuying looked at the "Lost and Found" not far away and fell into silence.

She seemed to have guessed Lin Li's approach.

No wonder he didn't let her follow him over.

After all, if the person sending the lost item and the person taking the lost item were the same batch, the staff would immediately realize something was wrong.

"Will this cause trouble for others?" Chen Yuying wasn't Lin Li, this b*stard. She had always been very considerate of others, so she immediately stood from the perspective of the staff and considered it.

"It's okay, at worst I'll send some food and drink to Uncle to apologize when I come to pick it up later." Lin Li scratched his head upon hearing this.

Actually, one of Lin Li's other purposes was to test the judgment standard of "Gold."

Since the teppanyaki squid stall owner's "lost item" clearly wasn't a lost item, but he could still provide progress when he handed it in, what about this doll?

Was it subjective thinking that was important, or objective action?

"Okay." Chen Yuying listened to Lin Li and nodded.

Taking the doll, Lin Li stepped forward.

When seeing this face, the staff: "... how old are you?"

Lin Li: "eighteen years old, and you?"

"Sigh." The other party sighed.

"Uncle, to tell the truth, there's a bit of a misunderstanding. I didn't know the owner just went to the bathroom. I really thought it was a lost item." After the human-machine dialogue, Lin Li explained to the staff before submitting the doll.

"Uncle is willing to believe."

The staff nodded.

Mainly because the wallet Lin Li submitted for the first time yesterday was picked up by the owner today, and unlike the stall owner, the other party really lost it on the road. The owner even expressed his gratitude to him.

So his view on the squid stall owner last night was indeed biased.

Of course, although he had some misunderstandings about this child in front of him, he still felt that Lin Li was very difficult to evaluate.

"What did you find this time?" The staff asked.

"Dang dang dang dang! A doll!" Lin Li showed the elephant.

The staff narrowed his eyes: "You kid, you wouldn't be pretending your won prize is a lost item and leaving it here to wait for yourself to come and get it later, right?"

Lin Li: "?"

How did he see it all at once.

It seemed that noticing the change in Lin Li's expression, the staff pointed to the ground behind him.

A pile of dolls, and even goldfish and turtle display boxes.

Lin Li: "..."

So it wasn't just him doing this?

Pinglu people are still too abstract one by one.

"You just put it here. I have surveillance on my head, and generally, no one will deliberately take it away. Just treat it as you stored it. However, we are not responsible if something really happens, ha."

The staff explained. It wasn't abstract, but this was part of his job.

Just a matter of convenience.

"No, mine is a lost item." For the sake of the test, Lin Li thought about it and insisted, "Uncle, can you register it? Please."

"... Fine." Although a bit confused, the staff did as he was told.

Maybe this child felt that after registration, he would have the obligation to take good care of it.

Acceptable. At least this child was much more normal today, didn't give other—

"And this coin, also picked up, number 120." Lin Li took out the coin he had just picked up when he arrived at Pinglu.

The staff: "..."

F*ck! My inner thoughts hadn't finished yet! Here it comes again!

"Fine!" The staff gritted his teeth.

"Thanks, Uncle. I'll have the owner bring you a cup of milk tea later." Fortunately, Lin Li didn't have any follow-up, then waved and left.

Test complete.

When submitting the doll, there was no change. When submitting one yuan, "Gold" had normal weak progress.

No matter how cheap the cost was, the elephant's value couldn't have no movement at all.

It seems it was indeed based on the subjective heart.

If you think from the heart that it was lost by someone else, it's "not pocketing lost items." If you know in your heart it wasn't lost, it doesn't count.

"Monitor, stored." Lin Li squeezed through the crowd and returned to Chen Yuying's side.

"Then let's continue strolling. Wasted a lot of time coming back here." Chen Yuying nodded. Without the elephant as a medium between the two, she grabbed Lin Li's hem and walked forward.

It was indeed quite rushed.

Sihan and Wanqiu would end their fortune-telling and return before long. The alone time left for her and Lin Li wasn't much. Wanting it to be longer, a little longer.

"Is someone singing?"

The stalls on the street had been strolled during the day, so Chen Yuying took Lin Li and skipped these stalls directly.

However, noticing a group of people gathered together, and there was accompaniment coming from inside, Chen Yuying stopped and asked curiously.

During the day, there shouldn't have been any here.

"Just go see." Lin Li tilted his chin.

"Good."

Lin Li's height could see even from the outside, but Chen Yuying's height, although tall among girls, wasn't enough at this time.

"Follow me." Lin Li reached out, grabbed Chen Yuying's wrist, and opened the way in front.

"Excuse me, let me through, excuse me~"

"What the f*ck are you squeezing for?" Someone frowned unhappily.

Lin Li: "One."

Passerby: "..."

The passerby fell silent.

A good man doesn't fight with a neurotic.

Chen Yuying leaned forward and pressed her forehead against Lin Li's back, lowering her head so people around wouldn't see her face, her ears slightly red.

Lin Li was still as perverted as ever.

There was indeed someone singing inside, with speakers and a microphone, and a phone in front, probably still live-streaming.

Squeezing in with Chen Yuying, the accompaniment just finished playing, the streamer took a deep breath and began to sing passionately.

"If one day I fall in love with your wife~ If your wife also loves me~ Brother, please don't cry out loud~ I definitely won't let her suffer~"

"Can you attend our wedding~ Only with your blessing does it have meaning~ I know I shouldn't treat you like this~ But I can't help myself when love is deep~"

"This five hundred yuan is my heart~ We'll still be brothers in the future~"

Lin Li: "..."

F*ck, squeezed in for nothing.

Ears were raped.

The lyrics were like this, and the singing was also very...

Completely without any vocal technique, suspected to be roaring entirely by instinct.

"What is this singing?" Chen Yuying also frowned, poked Lin Li's arm, and whispered.

"Actually, it's quite powerful," Lin Li gave a fair evaluation. "No ear-return, no lip-syncing, no dodging high notes, not good to listen to."

But maybe this kind of person could really start a channel. Lin Li suspected he should be deliberately playing a clown role. Many onlookers laughed and recorded with their phones after hearing this kind of singing, but many also planned to leave.

"Still listening?" Lin Li asked.

Chen Yuying shook her head.

"Then go?"

"Good."

"Give me your hand." Having to squeeze out again, Lin Li turned around and reached out.

At first there was nothing. Before Lin Li turned his head, the girl's hand rested on it.

A moment of coldness, followed by warmth. After a pause of half a second, Chen Yuying pressed her whole palm on it.

Although what was handed over wasn't the wrist but the palm, Lin Li was very natural, without any surprise, just closed his hand immediately, grabbed it firmly, and led her out of the crowd.

Leaving the crowd, the moment he let go, the night wind poured in from between their fingers.

Lin Li then turned to look at Chen Yuying, tilted his chin toward the side of the river, and asked with a smile: "Continue walking?"

"Good." Holding the remaining warmth in her palm, Chen Yuying nodded heavily.

Strolling, eating, playing.

Chen Yuying's waist bag already had several dolls hanging on it, and there were several headpieces on her head, flashing cheap but good-looking neon lights.

All were trophies won by Lin Li in night market games.

Unknowingly, the two had been playing for a long time.

Long exceeded the scope of one hour.

But the group "Three Dogs and One Person" was silent, and no one sent messages to each other.

It was really a hearty fortune-telling and a hearty stone-eating. It was surprising that the "Two Dogs" were so obsessed.

"Here." Chen Yuying again handed the cotton candy, which she had only eaten about one-fifth of, to Lin Li.

"Not eating anymore?"

"Mm, save some stomach space for other things." Chen Yuying nodded, her gaze wandering on the stalls on both sides, looking for new targets.

"Your stomach is comfortable, what about my stomach?" Lin Li asked seriously in pretense.

His fried fish in his left hand had just been finished, and another one came. The monitor really treated him as a trash can.

"I ate three bowls of rice last night. If I eat so much tonight, what if my small belly becomes a big belly? You don't have one, you eat, eat more."

Chen Yuying took on the role of this hands-off manager without any psychological burden. She pressed her palm against her abdomen, causing her sweater to cling even tighter, revealing a flat and smooth curve, and turned her head to say with a crafty look in her eyes.

Lying with eyes open again.

Girls are indeed vengeful creatures. Isn't it just because I teased her in the morning?

"I'll eat, I'll eat, okay?" Lin Li admitted defeat.

In a better mood, Chen Yuying, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped her steps, turned her head, and looked up slightly.

"Eh, Lin Li~"

The voice was also a bit higher.

"The general is here. Want to eat or play something again? Need me to go out?"

Not stopping his pace, his chest bumped slightly against Chen Yuying's back. Lin Li held a big mouthful of cotton candy, feeling the sweetness in his mouth, and lowered his head to ask.

"No, it's just that I seem to have seen Wang Ze."

Chen Yuying turned around, adjusted her position to hide in front of Lin Li's side, grabbed Lin Li's clothes, used Lin Li as a pillar, poked her head out, and looked forward.

Lin Li turned his head when he saw this.

Wang Ze's clothes were matched by him, and he could lock onto him at a glance.

It was indeed him, not far away, probably just coming out of a stall. Otherwise, if they had been walking on the road face-to-face, both sides would have seen each other long ago.

At this moment, Wang Ze was walking toward the direction Lin Li and Chen Yuying came from, leaving only a back view.

Chen Yuying wouldn't be so curious if it were just him.

"Who is the girl beside him?"

What really made Chen Yuying curious was a girl she didn't know at all beside Wang Ze at this moment, who seemed to be holding a bouquet of flowers, holding hands with Wang Ze, and walking forward.

"Girlfriend, probably." Lin Li said with a smile.

Obviously, Wang Ze had already succeeded.

Very normal, after all, they were originally considered to be running toward each other.

"Ah! Wang Ze already has a girlfriend? Didn't notice it at all!" Chen Yuying covered her slightly open mouth with her hand, her eyes shining, surprised.

"Just today."

There was nothing that couldn't be said. Even, saying it now, perhaps it could make Chen Yuying feel a little lost?

Wouldn't that be better?

With such little thoughts in his heart, Lin Li told the situation in detail.

Chen Yuying was very focused when eating melons. Even if no one was eavesdropping on the side, she was still very vigilant and careful. When responding, she would deliberately lower her voice, looking very cute.

"... That's it." Lin Li finished speaking and looked at Chen Yuying.

"Oh." Chen Yuying nodded slowly.

"Falling in love..."

"Yeah." Lin Li's tone was extremely casual.

Afterward, Chen Yuying poked her head out again. Wang Ze's height was enough for her to still barely see him now.

The girl's gaze gradually moved down.

Even if she could only see the figures of other passersby.

But Chen Yuying always felt that she could still see Wang Ze and Qian Ying's hands held together in the gaps of the crowd.

"..."

"Let's go, continue strolling forward, almost at the end of the stalls."

Lin Li patted Chen Yuying's head, quietly, slightly rubbed it. His tone was still calm, casual, as if the so-called Wang Ze's successful confession was just an unimportant interlude.

Not important, no need to care.

Lin Li was looking at Chen Yuying's reaction now very interestingly. He had already thought about it. Even if Chen Yuying had some hints, he would definitely "not hear" them.

Even deliberately pretend to be stupid, making Ying-bao anxious, anxious, anxious, anxious.

*Jie jie jie*, he was so bad.

But Chen Yuying didn't respond, as if she was distracted.

"Monitor, monitor? Oi!" Lin Li was even happier, "impatiently" said.

Chen Yuying's body shook slightly, then she raised her head, eyes meeting.

The young girl's eyelashes suddenly fluttered rapidly, her breath caught in her throat, the night market lights rippled in her pupils, and her hair was teased up by the night breeze before falling back down.

She thought of the hand-holding just now, thought of the hug last week, thought of the heartstrings that had been moved over these two months.

It was originally a matter of course, perhaps ambiguity was no longer a game to look forward to.

Because ambiguity couldn't be holding hands openly.

Then, it was time. 【

Chen Yuying's knuckles turned white as she gripped the corner of Lin Li's clothes, her whole body trembling slightly like a willow branch soaked in moonlight, her breath warm.

Her face was also burning hot.

But her eyes were full of smiles.

In this instant, Lin Li understood Chen Yuying's meaning with ease; it was as simple as an open-book exam.

His Adam's apple bobbed heavily, and the corners of Lin Li's mouth wanted to rise uncontrollably; his eyes were even brighter in this moment, flowing and shimmering like a galaxy.

He couldn't stop wanting to be happy, couldn't stop wanting to run, to jump, to perform a beautiful bicycle kick.

But, this wasn't right, he had prepared everything.

This, this isn't very good, haha, heh—

His inner voice also carried a smile.

So.

"Lin Li, I—"

The young girl's lips parted slightly, but her words were blocked—not due to her own will, but simply because Lin Li's palm suddenly covered her slightly parted lips, masking everything.

Perhaps it was the cotton candy frost remaining on the web of his thumb; it felt slightly sweet.

Under the night market lights, Lin Li leaned over slightly, his forehead pressed against the girl's forehead. His free hand was held vertically against his own lips, his face wearing a brilliant, exuberant, wonderful, and utterly uncontainable wanton smile.

Their eyes met, their pupils clearly reflecting each other.

He shook his head, his smile spilling out with his voice:

"Shh—don't say it, Class Monitor, I beg you, don't say it yet—"
