"I know, it's just the last ten minutes, you guys go play other things first, and call me when the time comes." He stared at the moving claws, and when the moment came, he pressed down hard, successfully hooking the teddy bear's body, but it fell down again just as it rose into the air.
--Grass!
Qingyou patted the table, very annoyed
The three friends on the side looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
I always feel that the boy seems to be addicted to playing again.
...
Ten minutes passed
"Just one last time... um..."
Before he could finish his words, Qingyou's mouth was covered and he was dragged backwards.
"You, let's play something else. You're obsessed with the claw machine!" Ye Sichi hugged him and advised.
"Uuuuuuuuuuu!!"
"Don't worry about it. Drag Qingyou to some other place first and don't let him see the claw machine again." Covering the boy's mouth, Xishan Genping said to them.
"Let's all hold him down harder, this guy is very strong!"
"OK."
...
After more than five minutes of taking turns to persuade the boy, Genping and the others finally pulled him out of his drunken state.
"You guys are really enough." Sitting on a sofa in the lounge area, Qingyou rubbed his neck and complained about what they had just done, "Can't you be gentler? I don't know if people will think you are kidnapping."
"Damn, is it our fault? I don't know who said at the beginning that we only needed to play for ten minutes and then leave, but in the end, we played a claw machine for half an hour." Nishiyama Genping retorted mercilessly.
Qingyou coughed lightly, "This is an accident."
"Come on, you're still surprised, You, you've been addicted so many times." Nojichi rolled his eyes, "When you're online, you're either addicted or on the way to being addicted."
“I…” Qingyou was at a loss for words. When he was about to continue to argue, Yuzuru suddenly clapped his hands, “Oh, I suddenly remembered that there are several photo machines in the arcade. You, Chi, Genping, the four of us can take a group photo together!”
he suggested.
"Shall we take a photo together?" Xishan Genping was interested. "Sure, let's go take one."
"That's a good suggestion! I've never taken a photo with my friends in my life. Now that I'm here today, I must fulfill this little wish no matter what." Ye Shichi stood up, feeling a little excited.
"Qingyou, let's go. Let's go home after taking pictures." He said, pulling the boy's arm.
"Take a photo..." Qingyou was slightly stunned and a little absent-minded.
"Yeah, what are you still standing there for? Let's go."
"No, I..." Before he could finish his words, his arms were forcibly grabbed and pulled up by his three companions.
"Hiss, slow down!"
...
"This place is really narrow and crowded. I can't even move." Xishan Genping, who was squeezed to the right, complained.
"This thing is originally for couples. It's great that four of us grown men can come in," Ye Sichi replied.
"Indeed, that's the truth."
Qingyou: "Stop talking and get into position quickly."
"Hey, I'm so crowded here, why..."
"Okay, okay, I'll count to three and everyone shout 'cheese' together." Hanyu in the middle said, his tone unable to hide his excitement.
"Come on, get ready."
"One"
"two"
"three"
"eggplant!"
...
"Hahaha, look, Xiaoyu is squeezed to the bottom, her face looks so small."
"No, look at Qingyou. He's been squeezed in the middle by the two of us, like a sandwich."
"Hahaha."
After leaving the arcade, Ye Si and the others gathered together, happily discussing the photos they had just taken, looking very happy.
Following behind his three companions, looking at the four smiling faces in the photos, Qingyou curled the corners of his lips and couldn't help but smile again.
Is this what it feels like to take a photo with friends?
Yeah, surprisingly good.
Putting the photo in his pocket, he looked at the three laughing figures in front of him, strode up to them, put his arm around their shoulders, and said with a smile, "Brothers, don't rush back yet, I'll treat you to popsicles."
"Fuck, are you treating me? Let's go, we have to go!"
"Eating popsicles in the middle of winter, right?... Never mind. Qingyou has already offered to treat us, so why bother with all this? Let's go and make some popsicles!"
"Well, I don't mind either."
...
"Boss, two mixed-flavor cream double sticks."
"It's in the freezer inside, help yourself."
"Well, okay, thank you."
After paying, Qingyou walked out of the store with two packs of popsicles.
"You, you are out of money, why did you buy only two bags?" Noticing the amount in the boy's hand, Ye Shichi said, "I'll buy two more bags."
"That's why you are so ignorant."
Qingyou opened the package and revealed a rather mysterious expression, "I'll show you a magic trick, don't blink"
The next second, the popsicle appeared before our eyes.
"Fuck, this pack actually has two popsicles connected together!" Ye Shichi exclaimed, "How magical!"
Hanyu explained with a smile, "So this popsicle is also called a double stick."
"To put it bluntly, this kid You just wants to save money." Xishan Gen added.
"Ahem." Qingyou handed over another bag and said angrily, "It's up to you whether you want to eat it or not. Stop talking nonsense!"
"Eat it. How could I not eat it?" Xishan Genping took it with a frivolous look, quickly opened the packaging bag and broke it in half, "Here, Xiaoyu."
"Well, thanks..."
"Huh?" The other three glanced at him.
Hanyu immediately swallowed the rest of the words, licked the popsicle, and changed the subject, "Well, Qingyou, this flavor of double stick is really good. There are all kinds of flavors."
"Of course, this is a mixed flavor." Qingyou nodded, with a hint of pride in his tone, "I am an expert in choosing popsicle flavors."
"To be honest, it's quite funny that the four of us are eating popsicles in such a cold weather." Xishan Genping licked a bite and trembled. "Hiss, but it feels surprisingly good!!"
"Damn, I'm a little drunk." Ye Sichi took a big bite, his cheeks bulging.
"Fuck, eat slower. It will be gone in a few more bites."
"Hahaha."
At dusk, four young men were talking and laughing on the street.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, Xishan Genping jumped onto Ye Si's shadow and said, "Chi, you have been controlled by this demon king. Surrender quickly."
Holding a popsicle in one hand, he spoke in a low and serious voice.
"Damn it!" Ye Shichi made a struggling expression, "Do you think this will make me surrender? Impossible!"
He stepped on Hanyu's shadow and said smugly, "Hehe, I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I can only absorb your shadow to gain energy."
“Hey, hey, hey.” Hanyu quickly dodged to the side, “I’ll dodge.”
"Useless, useless, useless! Just let me absorb the energy obediently!"
"I'll just block you two and see where you two can hide, hahaha."
"Childish." Qingyou shook his head.
He quickened his pace and walked forward a little, afraid that the three of them would step on his shadow.
Chapter 36: Arrogant?
"Good, I got full marks on the test again, which brings honor to our Nanchang."
Inside the office, the head teacher looked very good and kept praising him, "I hope you can keep it up, Tada-kun."
"Yes." Standing straight in front of the teacher, Qingyou lowered his eyelids slightly and responded seriously.
"Yes." The head teacher nodded and added a gentle exhortation, "Remember, keep a normal mind, don't be proud and complacent, and always be open-minded and learn from others. Do you understand?"
"Tada understands."
"That's good. I won't say much else. Just let Tada know for yourself." He took a sip of the warm tea and thought of something. He then said, "Well, as for the chores you have to deal with every day, I will have a good talk with the principal about this in a few days. After all, you still have to focus on your studies now."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Qingyou bowed and thanked him, then breathed a sigh of relief.
——I finally noticed that he was too brave. If he didn't relieve himself of some work, he would really die of overwork!
"You're welcome. This isn't something you should have dealt with in the first place. The main reason is that there's no one in the student union, so I had no choice but to share this with you." The head teacher waved his hand, "Tada-kun, the most important thing for you now is to focus on your studies and stay in good shape at all times. You must not make any mistakes."
Halfway through his speech, he sighed, his tone mixed with a bit of sigh, "Teacher also knows that this request is excessive and harsh, but there is really no other way now."
"In this quiz, you were the only freshman from Nanchang High School who made it into the top ten in your grade. The other nine spots were taken by Sakaki's girls. When the results came out, the principal's face turned green with rage."
Qingyou was speechless for a moment
He is the only boy in the top ten, which is too tragic...
"It's also fortunate that you, Tada-kun, worked hard and once again took the top spot in the grade with full marks in all subjects. Otherwise, we, the former Nanchang teacher, would have been really embarrassed." The head teacher said with relief.
"Teacher, please rest assured that I will always maintain my good condition and hold the first place tightly in my hands." Qingyou bowed and said seriously, "There is no word "mistake" in my dictionary."
"Okay!" The head teacher slammed the table hard, making a loud noise.
"I am very pleased that Tada-kun has such confidence and awareness." He walked over and patted the boy on the shoulder. "The final exam will be in a few days. I hope you can get the same results as this small test."
After a pause, he added, "By the way, before the winter vacation, the school will give an additional subsidy of about 400,000 yen to the top students in the final exam."
After he finished speaking, Qingyou stood up straight instantly, his face solemn, and his tone rising, "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely get the first place in my grade at the end of the semester!!!"
"Good, good, good!" The head teacher laughed and was very satisfied.
"Okay, go to class and study hard."
"Yes!" Qingyou bowed and responded respectfully.
Just as he was about to leave, a roar suddenly came from the office next door, "What's wrong with you? You can't even handle such a small matter! You useless piece of shit!!"
"Snapped--"
Then there was a burst of crisp applause.
"Teacher, it seems that the sound insulation of this floor is not very good." Qingyou looked at the head teacher beside him, his tone was very light and meaningful.
The old teacher didn't answer. He just looked at the wall in silence, his brows beginning to frown.
...
"Hanyu Reizuki! Didn't I tell you that I would mark these books soon? Now they are all wet and you still have the nerve to take them?" The man threw a stack of books at the girl with a bad tone and disgust on his face.
