Lu Yichen smiled helplessly. He had never seen anyone take a loss so seriously.
Inevitably, he had to humor her in the end.
Both of them played for more than an hour before Mu Xiaoxiao felt tired. She sat aside and watched him play instead.
Her eyes darted about as an idea came to her. She ran over to the counter and approached Brother Hui. With an invulnerable smile, she said, “Brother Hui! I have something to ask of you!”
Brother Hui smiled and said, “What is it?”
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned forward. In a tone that was audible to only the both of them, she discussed her matter with him.
She finally returned to Lu Yichen’s side after a while.
Lu Yichen looked at her and asked, “Are you tired, or do you still want to play?”
Mu Xiaoxiao handed a cup of green tea to him while shaking her head. “I don’t want to bowl anymore. I want to play something else.”
“What do you want to play?” he asked with an air of wanting to accompany her to do anything she wanted.
Mu Xiaoxiao laughed mischievously and blurted out two words, “Let’s work!”
Stunned, Lu Yichen looked at her in puzzlement.
It turned out that she had gone to look for Brother Hui to suggest that as compensation for their bill, they could help attract customers to the alley.
This was because she knew that it was Lu Yichen’s nature to insist upon paying the bill, which she realized was going to be very expensive upon asking about it — it was two hundred yuan for an hour of play, and it cost a hundred yuan with the 50 percent discount.
Even though a hundred yuan was a mere pittance to her, it might not be a small sum to him due to his family’s financial circumstances.
Not wanting him to burn a hole in his pocket but also not wanting to hurt his pride by insisting that she pay instead, she thought of this wonderful idea that satisfied both of these concerns.
Afraid that he would suspect something, Mu Xiaoxiao put on an air of excitement as though it was really fun to work.
“It’s only attracting ten customers. It’s a piece of cake to me!”
She patted her chest with an expression of utmost confidence.
After she received the flyers from Brother Hui’s hands, she bounded out of the door animatedly.
Just as Lu Yichen was about to follow her, Brother Hui grabbed his shoulder and said to him, “This girl is not bad. Not only is she cute, but she’s also lively, carefree, sensible, and thoughtful — a rarity among girls. You’re well suited together, and you should take good care of her.”
With these parting sincere, heartfelt words, Brother Hui left.
Lu Yichen’s enigmatic gaze studied Mu Xiaoxiao, who was outside the door. Her face was all smiles as she touted for customers warmly as though doing such a thing was really fun.

After Mu Xiaoxiao parted with Lu Yichen, she returned to school alone.
She was absolutely not going there because of Yin Shaojie at all. It was only because she had to retrieve her bag from her classroom that she had to go back.
Classes had long since ended when she arrived back at school. There were only a few students scattered throughout the school grounds.
Luckily, the door to the classroom had not been locked yet. She retrieved her bag successfully. Carrying it out, she stood at the school entrance and looked around.
Could Yin Shaojie be hiding in a corner waiting for her just like last time?
Thinking about how he had appeared yesterday made her anger almost disappear completely.
Okay then, if he specially waited for her again, she would be gracious and forgive him.
She stood at the entrance for more than ten minutes while the sky rapidly darkened. However, there wasn’t a single sign Yin Shaojie or that flashy sports car of his.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s expression became increasingly gloomy. Looking around at the empty roads with no hint of even a single car’s silhouette, she couldn’t help but howl, “Yin Shaojie! Come out right now!”
He must be hiding somewhere and watching her panic, right?
