588: The Demon's Trap

The Demon's Trap

The stall owner said hurriedly, "It's normal for girls to miss a lot. Let your boyfriend shoot instead; who knows if he'll hit enough to win something the next round. It's actually not as hard as you think. Maybe the gun has a problem; I'll change it for you."1

He tried to take away the gun as he said, intending to switch it out for a gun with a better aim.

"There's no need to," Yin Shaojie said. He took out another large bill from his wallet and gave it to the owner. "There's no need to change the gun. Just refilling the bullets will do."

The stall owner was in a dilemma. "Are you sure? Your aim may improve if the gun is switched. The problem may lie with the feel of the gun sometimes."

"Yeah, it's okay. There's no need." Yin Shaojie looked nonchalant.

Unable to argue back, the stall owner could only refill his bullets.

Yin Shaojie took up the gun and extended his arm. His dark eyes looked ahead as though he was trying to find his aim.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't understand the purpose of his actions. She didn't realize that his posture was accurate, only thinking that his stance while holding the gun was very dashing, and she couldn't help but feel some momentary infatuation.

She encouraged him, saying, "All the best!"

Anyway, it only cost 50 dollars per round if they lost. Since they were out here to play, it was okay if they spent some money.

Yin Shaojie smiled at her, but he broke his stance. He looked at her and said, "Why not make a bet to motivate me?"

"A bet?" Mu Xiaoxiao didn't realize that she had already been caught in a particular demon's trap.

Yin Shaojie nodded as he smiled and explained, "Isn't it more interesting if we make a bet?"

"What do you want to bet then?"

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that this sounded fun and fell into the trap.

Yin Shaojie pretended to think for a while before saying, "If we're going to bet, we'll have to bet on something valuable. How about this: If I can win the plushie you want in ten rounds, you'll have to comply with an order from me. If I can't win in ten rounds, I'll have to listen to an order from you. Deal?"

Mu Xiaoxiao did have some caution and wondered if he was trying to trick her.

However, he had said that he would need ten rounds. Didn't that mean that he wasn't very confident?

If he was confident of getting hits, he would have said one round, not ten with that pride of his.

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed cunningly, and she accepted the gamble.

She replied, "Okay! I'll bet with you!"

She thought, It'll be interesting to order the Great Master Yin to do something he doesn't like to do, right? Heheh!

Yin Shaojie extended his pinky in front of her. "Pinky promise."

Mu Xiaoxiao was amused as she said, "Pinky promise? We aren't kindergarten kids."

However, she still smiled as she hooked her pinky with his.

After the ritual was complete, a darkness flashed into Yin Shaojie's eyes.

"We've pinky promised. If you lose, you can't turn back on your promise."

He had only done it so that she wouldn't be able to turn back on her word. Even though it was childish, so be it.

Mu Xiaoxiao snorted as she challenged, "You might not win, so it's you who shouldn't break your promise!"

The gears in her little brain had already started to turn.

What should she command him to do after she won?

Heheheh!

Yin Shaojie smiled. "Do you wish for me to lose? Don't you want the strawberry plushie anymore?

Mu Xiaoxiao spread her hands out. "I think it's more important for me to win now. Hurry up and begin!"

If she won, she could give him an order. This was so much more fun than getting a strawberry plushie!
