The Mysterious Deskmate (58)

Mu Xiaoxiao turned and pointed to the pet shop behind her and said, "Come on. Let's go in."2

Feng Tianqi was going to follow behind her when he saw the kittens and puppies. His eyebrows furrowed and he immediately rejected the idea. "No! I don't like pets, and I'm allergic to dogs."

Mu Xiaoxiao looked back at him, folded her arms, and looked at him incredulously. "You're allergic to dogs? Are you for real?"

"Duh, of course it's for real! Why do I want to lie to you?" Feng Tianqi looked as though he wouldn't go in.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. They couldn't just leave him alone outside, right?

She looked around and her gaze stopped at the mall next to the store.

She smiled and pointed to the mall, saying, "You're unhappy, right? Let's go there and play! I guarantee that it'll cheer you up!"

"Where? What's there to play?" Feng Tianqi said disdainfully.

Looking back, Mu Xiaoxiao reluctantly waved to the kittens and puppies behind the glass window and said, "Bye bye."

Then she hugged Yin Shaojie's arm, pulling him as they walked toward the shopping center. Yin Shaojie said to Feng Tianqi, "Come if you want. When I said that it'll cheer you up I meant it."

Yin Shaojie looked down at her face and his finger lightly touched her cheek.

Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him.

Yin Shaojie stared at her, his eyes suggesting something.

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, buried her face in his arm, and she whispered to him, "Geez, he's unhappy. Let's cheer him up. We'll have fun too. Besides, I haven't been there for some time. I really feel like going."

"You mean the game room above?" He knew what she was planning to do.

Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled mischievously, "Yeah."

Although Feng Tianqi was still annoyed, he still followed them obediently.

On the fifth floor of the mall, there was a large game room with various gaming equipment. On the outside was a row of claw cranes.

Feng Tianqi swept a glance at the claw cranes and he gave Mu Xiaoxiao a look of disdain as he said, "Don't tell me you were talking about this?"

"This is not bad. Let's play this first! After that, we'll go inside and play." Mu Xiaoxiao nudged Yin Shaojie, tolling him to go and buy some tokens.

After a short while, Yin Shaojie came out, carrying a bag of tokens.

Mu Xiaoxiao chose a claw crane machine that she liked and waved at them. "Come here. Let's have a challenge to see who gets it first, okay?"

"What's the reward?" Yin Shaojie asked with a smile.

Given his personality, he would never play such a childish game, but he could play along with her.

He remembered that when they were young, she really liked to play claw cranes. She would always ask him to help her get the toys because she was lousy at it. She couldn't target the toys accurately and had never succeeded in getting a prize.

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him. "What reward do you want?"

"Since our objective here is to cheer up Feng Tianqi, let's not gamble, alright? Let's see who is better at this!"

She knew that she couldn't beat him so she gave herself a way out lest she loss.

Feng Tianqi didn't say anything as he stood by the side.
