Jiang Tang looked at Shen Xiunian. He was noble and aloof, seemingly incompatible with cute plush toys.
She had brought Shen Xiunian to play the claw machine. Would he find it boring?
Shen Xiunian held the plush toy in his hand, lowering his gaze to look at Jiang Tang. “Shall we try the claw machine shop across the street?”
His voice sounded no different than usual, yet Jiang Tang could sense a hint of anticipation in it.
Jiang Tang was surprised. Had Shen Xiunian become addicted to playing the claw machine?
He was the epitome of intellectual attraction—an unattainable flower on a high peak!
How could he enjoy playing the claw machine? This contrast was actually incredibly adorable.
She replied softly, “Sure!”
They went to the claw machine shop across the street. This time, Shen Xiunian bought two hundred game tokens.
Jiang Tang: Yay! Another two hundred game tokens!
The Gold-digging Value remained completely unchanged. How frustrating! This Gold-digging Value was so hard to increase.
But she soon became completely immersed in the fun of playing the claw machine, unable to tear herself away.
She used to be unable to grab anything, but now, with Shen Xiunian guiding her hand, they were incredibly accurate.
There were many children in the claw machine shop. They gathered around Jiang Tang and Shen Xiunian, exclaiming in amazement every time a plush toy was successfully grabbed.
“Wow~”
Jiang Tang grew happier and happier as they played.
The two hundred game tokens were used up in no time.
Jiang Tang felt extremely satisfied.
She glanced at Shen Xiunian. His brows and eyes were relaxed, and he seemed to be in a good mood too.
As they walked out of the claw machine shop, a couple approached from the side, the girl holding onto the boy’s arm.
Jiang Tang didn’t notice them and almost bumped into them.
Shen Xiunian quickly shielded her.
The girl in the couple, upon seeing the plush toys in Shen Xiunian’s hand, lit up with excitement. She asked Jiang Tang, “Little sister, your brother is so good at playing the claw machine! Do you have any tips?”
Jiang Tang: Huh?
She looked up at the girl, then glanced at Shen Xiunian, whispering softly, “He’s not my brother. He’s my boyfriend.”
Hearing Jiang Tang refer to him as her boyfriend, Shen Xiunian felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
“Oh, he’s your boyfriend. I didn’t realize that.” The girl looked at Shen Xiunian and Jiang Tang. There was enough space between them to open a Mixue Ice Cream & Tea shop.
It really wasn’t her fault for not noticing.
But to be fair, the two of them standing together were truly a sight for sore eyes.
She gave Jiang Tang a knowing smile. “Little sister, you’ve got great taste.”
Jiang Tang: shy emoji
The girl pressed for tips on playing the claw machine. Jiang Tang looked at Shen Xiunian—he was the one who was good at it!
Shen Xiunian calmly explained the patterns he had observed.
The young couple immediately went into the claw machine shop to try it out.
Shen Xiunian pondered thoughtfully. Why did they think he was Jiang Tang’s brother?
Did he and Jiang Tang not look like a couple?
He glanced at the couple, noticing how the girl held onto the boy’s arm. Then, he scanned the claw machine shop. All the couples seemed to be standing very close to each other.
He lowered his gaze to look at Jiang Tang, who was following him like a little quail.
Obedient.
But keeping quite a distance from him.
Jiang Tang noticed Shen Xiunian’s gaze and looked up at him. “What’s wrong?”
Shen Xiunian raised an eyebrow slightly. From this angle, she looked even cuter.
He gestured for Jiang Tang to look at the other couples.
Jiang Tang glanced around, her cheeks slightly flushed. After a moment of silence, she took the initiative to link her arm with Shen Xiunian’s.
The two of them were suddenly standing very close.
Jiang Tang could clearly smell the scent of cedarwood on Shen Xiunian. This fragrance, much like the man himself, was cool and refreshing.
But after smelling it for a while, she was surprised to discover that the cedarwood scent had a faint sweetness in its lingering notes.
Jiang Tang glanced up at Shen Xiunian, just as he looked at her. The moment their eyes met, she hurriedly lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Shen Xiunian’s lips curved slightly, and a faint smile flickered in his eyes before vanishing in an instant.
The System reminded Jiang Tang: “Tangtang, your Gold-digging Value is still 0!”
Jiang Tang made up her mind to start digging for gold!
