There was a bulletin board next to the shooting game booth, which stated the rules for each reward.
If you shoot the glass beads ten times in a row, you can get a reward of 500 times, which is the first prize of 5,000 yuan.
The second prize was nine consecutive shots of glass beads, which brought a hundred times the reward, or one thousand yuan. The third prize was eight consecutive shots of glass beads, which would give you an eighty-fold reward of eight hundred yuan.
Si Huang’s final shot was very fast. Before anyone could react, all the plastic bullets in her hand were fired out, and the glass beads shattered.
“Wow!” Mi Lu jumped up first, “All eight shots hit the target, K is great! Boss, give me money!”
The people around them came back to their senses, and cheers and boos rang out one after another.
“He really got them all right? Damn! I thought he was just trying to show off, but I didn’t expect he had real skills!”
“So handsome, so handsome! Handsome guy, please accept my knees!”
“Hey! Let’s play another round, how about getting the first prize with ten consecutive shots!?”
Si Huang did not respond to the booing around him. He just leaned against the edge of the stall and looked at the boss provocatively.
The boss immediately said, “No! No! Anyone who wins one of the top three prizes once cannot participate again!”
“Hahahaha!” The boss’s nervous look amused the people around him.
How could everyone not understand this truth? Even if Si Huang did not fire ten shots in a row, he really hit the target with all ten shots. This required real skill, not luck. If someone with this kind of skill was allowed to play as she pleased, the boss would go bankrupt.
With so many people watching, the boss didn’t dare to play tricks. He handed eight hundred yuan to Si Huang and asked her to leave as if he was sending his ancestor away. “Handsome guy, you see there are a lot of fun things here. Why don’t you go somewhere else?”
Si Huang stuffed the money into her pocket, returned the toy gun to the boss, and walked away with her hands in her pockets.
“Tsk tsk tsk, this guy is really good at pretending!” a young man complained sourly.
The female companion next to him pinched him and snorted viciously: “If you have the guts, then go ahead and pretend! If you can pretend to be like him, I will give birth to a child for you!”
“Really?!” The man widened his eyes in surprise.
“It’s fake.” Seeing her boyfriend almost wagging his tail, the female companion rolled her eyes.
Si Huang walked to a roadside store and bought a bottle of mineral water. He also threw a bottle of milk to Mi Lu and gave a hundred yuan to the owner.
“Boss, count me in.” The man came over and took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator.
The shop owner glanced at Si Huang and seeing that she had no objection, he included the cost of the uninvited man’s drink and gave the change back to Si Huang.
The young man dressed in hip-hop style opened the cap of the Coke bottle and took a big sip.
Si Huang said, “Remember to return me the three hundred yuan.”
“Puff! Cough cough.” The young man choked on a mouthful of soda, and his expression at that moment was as embarrassed as it could be.
Mi Lu smiled without giving any face, and when she looked at Si Huang, she found that she was clearly smiling with bad intentions.
“You are robbing!” the young man shouted after he recovered.
Si Huang said, “I’m short of money.”
“You can’t tell at all.” The young man snorted, “If you really need money, why would you need a doll? You could just shoot ten times in a row and make money.” He stared at the weird green-haired monster doll in Mi Lu’s hand, his eyes full of disgust. But Mi Lu glared at him, “K is willing to give it to me, what’s it to you?”
“Haha, none of my business.” The young man shrugged, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to Si Huang, “I don’t have three hundred yuan, but I can treat you two to a meal.”
Si Huang took the cigarette, and the image of Qin Fan holding a cigarette flashed through her mind. He obviously didn’t really smoke it, but she thought it was particularly manly. She curled her lips and saw the young man lighting up his lighter to light the cigarette for her.
She reached out and tore off the mask on her face, put the cigarette in her mouth, and lowered her head to light it.
Pointing the cigarette butt at the flame, Si Huang took a light puff but didn’t really inhale it into her lungs. After the cigarette was lit, she noticed that the man had no intention of taking the lighter back, so she raised her eyelids and glanced at the young man.
The young man seemed a little dazed, staring at her.
Catching Si Huang’s gaze, the young man was shocked. He laughed awkwardly twice and put his phone away. “It turns out you are really a handsome guy.” In fact, what he wanted to say was that since he was so handsome, he should put on the face mask again.
Si Huang glanced at him with an impatient look that indicated “you’re just talking nonsense”, exhaled the smoke in her mouth, and then held the cigarette between her fingertips.
“Forget about eating. Do you know any place that’s fun and can make money?”
After the young man got over his initial amazement, he couldn’t help but keep his eyes on her face. He always felt like he had seen her somewhere but couldn’t remember where. He responded a little dazedly, “It depends on what you are good at. I’m quite familiar with this.”
“I’m good at everything that men are good at.” Si Huang said shamelessly.
Mi Lu came over and said, “I know how to play billiards, and I’ve used it to gamble with others before. Do you play that here too?”
“Yes, but the kind you mentioned is a bit messy.” The young man thought for a moment.
“I’m not afraid of chaos, I’m just afraid of it being boring.” Mi Lu smiled, revealing her true nature. The next moment, she realized that Si Huang was also there. So her expression changed and she turned to look at him, “K, what do you think?”
“If you like it, let’s go.” Si Huang’s attitude was indifferent.
But this one sentence deeply touched Mi Lu’s nerves.
Si Huang walked with the young man for a while and found that Mi Lu was still standing there. She stared at her for two seconds without saying anything then continued walking forward.
“You don’t call her?” the young man asked in surprise, “What if your girlfriend gets lost?”
“Not my girlfriend.” Si Huang looked at the slowly burning cigarette butt in her hand, her tone expressionless.
If not a girlfriend, then what is it? The young man originally thought that the two of them got along like a couple, but now Si Huang’s attitude made him feel strange!
“K!” They heard Mi Lu’s cry.
The young man looked back and saw that the tall and hot woman had come to her senses and was hurriedly chasing after them, like a puppy afraid of being abandoned.
Uh, why did I think of an abandoned puppy!
The young man knocked his head and felt that he had a brain seizure.
It was now around five or six in the afternoon, the sun was halfway down, and the street lights and shop lights were all turned on.
Not only did the number of people on the streets not decrease, but there were more than before.
After walking for a while, Si Huang was attracted by the sudden sound of violin.
She stopped and looked in the direction of the violin sound. She saw several people standing there one after another. She could vaguely see a woman in a wheelchair playing on the street.
The performance level of this violin was definitely up to professional standards, but when it came to music, many people who didn’t understand it couldn’t tell the quality of the music by just listening to whether it sounded good or not.
Si Huang smiled and noticed the filming crew hiding not far away. He thought that people passing by would definitely not think that this street violinist was someone who had performed on the stage of a national competition and to hear her perform, each ticket would cost at least a few hundred yuan.
As a result, when they got here, everyone just looked at it and many of them didn’t even pay.
“What are you looking at?” The young man followed her gaze. “Huh, she seems to be a beauty? But she’s disabled, what a pity!”
From the young man’s words, you could see that Yu Lianyun’s disguise this time was quite successful – she was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a black long skirt that covered her ankles, and the makeup on her face was obviously deliberately ugly. Her pale lips and skin color made her look a little sick. She wore a pair of glasses and her hair should be a wig. The length was guessed to be shoulder-length, and her bangs covered half of her face.
At this time, she tilted her head and half-squinted her eyes while playing the violin, with most of her face hidden in the shadows. Most people could not recognize that she was the long-haired, fairy-like beauty they usually saw on the screen.
Si Huang pulled up the face mask and walked calmly towards Yu Lianyun.
Yu Lianyun was just squinting her eyes and didn’t really close them, so she could still see Si Huang’s figure.
She saw him walk over with a leisurely and handsome step, take out a handful of change that the store owner had just given her from her pocket, bend down and throw it into the violin case in front of Yu Lianyun.
Yu Lianyun glanced at her, said nothing, and continued playing the violin.
Si Huang squatted down, listened to her playing for a while, and took out another hundred yuan from her pocket.
Yu Lianyun still didn’t react.
Si Huang put the hundred yuan into her violin case and then sorted out the change and whole bills in the violin case one by one.
“This young man is pretty good.” Someone nearby started talking, “Is he this woman’s friend?”
“Probably not. Didn’t you see he gave money too?”
Mi Lu and the young man also came over. At first, Mi Lu didn’t recognize Yu Lianyun but only reacted after hearing her violin. Seeing that Si Huang wanted to help her, even though she was unhappy, she endured it and didn’t show it.
Everyone thought that the “cool punk boy” was helping the “disabled artistic girl” out of kindness.
