Chapter 676: Youth and Arcades

dn't see her messages, nor did I see the trending topics on Weibo.She pouted, "My ankle is twisted, it hurts so much! Let me show you."She switched the camera to focus on her feet. She could be cute a...She turned to thank him, but only saw his back. He was in the distance helping them carry their bags that they had left there.

He carried her and Cheng Chen's schoolbags in one hand, then accurately delivered hers to her.

Ting Lan hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you."

But she was a little puzzled, how did he know this backpack was hers

Because her and Cheng Chen's backpacks were the same style, the only difference was that one had a miniature dead rabbit hanging on it. Hers was light gray, and his was white. Not to mention him, even she and Cheng Chen often accidentally took the wrong one. So how did he tell them apart

She was a little puzzled, it must just be a coincidence, right

"Just as I was thinking, Lu Kuo suddenly spoke up: 'Haven't I officially introduced myself to you guys yet' "

The remaining three nodded silently.

"This is my best friend, Zhu Yu'an, from Class 2."

"My deskmate, Shu Tinglan, and Cheng Chen. From now on, we'll all be friends."

Young people's friendships are particularly pure and simple. Knowing each other's names is enough to be considered friends, and they can quickly become close. Lu Kuo and Cheng Chen ran to the claw machine at the front to try their luck.

Listening saw two giant bears hanging in the claw machine beside her. They looked really cute and silly, so she wanted one. She put in a coin and started playing, but the bear was very big. Although its paws were also large, they were as boneless as could be. As soon as she touched the bear lightly, it fell right off.

She tried many times but failed, the game coins in her hand were running out. But she persevered, with a determined look on her face, refusing to leave until she caught the bear. She kept changing coins and quietly challenged it...

The little Taiwanese gachapon stick is stubborn.

Zuo Yu'an, beside her, was seeing this side of her for the first time. Before, whether at the welcome meeting, on the bus, or in the campus, she had always been a calm and composed appearance.

Zhuo Yu'an walked up to her and said, "I'll teach you."

Tinglan was engrossed in her claw machine when she suddenly heard the noise, jumping in surprise. As she pressed down, her paw tilted and missed, wasting a game token.

Zhuo Yu'an said, "I observed just now that the claw machine's grip strength is around 1.5 seconds. Within 1.5 seconds, it's at its strongest. After 1.5 seconds, the grip weakens. So you need to move this bear to the exit within 1.5 seconds to have a chance of catching it."

Ting Lan was taken aback. She had just been grabbing things randomly, relying on luck, and she hadn't expected that the onlookers were analyzing the technique.

He continued his analysis: “From this bear to the exit, there is a central axis. As long as you grasp this central axis and follow the timing of this grip force, you'll probably need to move twice, and you should be able to accurately move to the cave entrance.”

"Then you go ahead." Tinglan stepped aside, making way for him to reach the button.

I'm not really convinced, after all, she tried so many times just now and failed every single time.

Zuo Yu'an immediately walked over, inserted a coin, and with intense focus, he maneuvered the joystick to find the center point as instructed, then pressed down quickly.

The bear actually moved one step towards the cave entrance. Listening to what Lan had just said, the time it took for its paw to strike with force seemed to be less than 2 seconds.

Zuo Yu'an dropped another coin and kept shaking the handle. Ting Lan held her breath, focusing all her attention on it. She saw the claws inside move...

It was as if it had magic, holding the bear firmly and dragging it to the mouth of the cave. And when its claws loosened, the bear slid out of the cave opening due to inertia.

Tinglan cried out excitedly, then bent down and pulled the bear out from below, holding it tightly in her arms.

"Thank you so much, you're amazing."

After thanking him, she ran off with the bear to show Cheng Chen. This bear would be perfect for cuddling at night.

On the other hand, Lu Kuo was also lucky enough to grab two very cute plush dog toys. He gave one to Cheng Chen, and planned to give the other one to Lu Yaoyao back in Beijing for the National Day holiday a few days later. After all, when it comes to deceiving children, just having something to fool them is enough. It was a gift he had brought back from Qining after traveling so far, which showed his thoughtfulness.

When the four friends came out of the amusement park, it was past 7 o'clock, almost 8. They had gone straight to the amusement park after school and were all starving. Lu Kuo offered to treat them to a meal, but the two girls quickly waved their hands, saying they didn't want to eat and wanted to go home. They were both good girls, and with it being so late, they had already received several messages from their mothers.

Zhuo Yu'an also had two missed calls and a message on his phone, both from the nanny. His parents had been practically out of touch since they brought him to Qining, and he was used to it.

Originally, Tinglan and her friends planned to take the bus back, but Lu Kuo had already run to the roadside and hailed a taxi, urging them to get in quickly. Tinglan squeezed in with that huge teddy bear in her arms, Cheng Chen sat in the middle, Lu Kuo beside her, and Zhuo Yu'an sat in the passenger seat, occasionally looking back at the rearview mirror.

It was a bit crowded, especially with Tinglan being squeezed by the bear, only her slender hands from the panda hug were visible.

He suddenly said to Lu Kuò:

"Would you like to get off here Your house is in the opposite direction, right"

Lu Kuò said nonchalantly, "Do you know that the Earth is round I just found out yesterday. If you walk from Cheng Chen's alley all the way in, it actually leads to the same alley across the street from my house. It's very convenient."

Qining wasn't particularly large, and everything was within one district, so it wasn't far from anywhere.

After sending Tinglan and the others home, only Zhuo'an and Lu Kuo were left in the car.

Lu Kuo was very excited because he was going back to Beijing for National Day. He had already made arrangements with his friends to have fun together. Holding a plush puppy in his hand, which was a gift for Lu Yaoyao, he said, "That little brat called me a few days ago and cried, saying that a boy pulled her pigtails and she couldn't beat him up, so she wanted me to go back and help."

After finishing his words, he saw Zhu Yuyan staring out the window, completely oblivious to what he had said.

Lu Kuo poked him. "What are you doing You look so lovestruck..."

Touched by his words, Zhuo Yu an composed himself and sat up straight, asking.

"Is it that obvious"

Lu Kuo nodded heavily. "Yes."

Zhuo Yu'an thought, she should have felt it too, right

Tonight, I played slides with her, helped her catch bears, and kept close contact. Oh, and that poem I wrote in response to him. So, she should know, right

My chest is swelling with anticipation for tonight.

Lu Kuo: "If you like someone, go for it! With your charm, no girl can resist. You'll definitely win her over."

It's just that Lu Kuo is a little curious, because Zhuo YUAN has always been a person with polite manners on the surface but a cold heart since childhood. How did he fall for Shu Tinglan And it hasn't even been long since Qishi Ning came...

Want to confess

Just thinking about the word "confession," the boy...

My heart skipped a beat, filled with both nervousness and anticipation.leaving. She couldn't understand those financial discussions, so she could only try her best to maintain the image of Mrs. Gu throughout the entire process, smiling and sitting beside as a foil. Ironi...
