Chapter 315: Ring
"Where are we going now? To see Shen Li?"
For so reason, the na Shen Li had been deeply etched into Ning Xi’s heart. She really wanted to et Ye Fan’s childhood friend.
"I’d love to take you to et her, but she’s not even in the country right now."
Ye Fan chuckled and said, "Second sester of sophomore year, Shen Li went abroad to study. If that hadn’t happened, I definitely would’ve taken you to see her. After all, she’s pretty much my only friend."
Ning Xi pouted her rosy lips slightly and didn’t say anything.
Ye Fan pressed his thin lips together and looked up at the clear sky. "Aiya, why does it feel like there’s a sour sll in the air? Xiao Xi, do you sll it?"
"Screw you!"
Ning Xi was so embarrassed that even her neck turned red.
Ye Fan laughed heartily, grabbed the girl’s smooth little hand, and said, "Alright, in a bit I’ll take you to a fun place. Back when I was in school, that was the only place where I could really relax."
"What place?"
Ning Xi’s interest was piqued.
Ye Fan smiled mysteriously, "You’ll find out soon."
...
10:23 AM.
Outside Baihua Park, Linhai.
The area was bustling with people, and various entertainnt stalls were neatly set up—ring toss, sandbag throwing, pendulum rides, balloon shooting, and more. It was practically a mini amusent park.
As soon as they arrived, Ning Xi beca instantly excited. In all her life, this was the first ti she’d seen so many fun things. She looked left and right, her eyes filled with curiosity and wonder.
"What do you want to play? Your big bro’s paying. Go ahead, play anything you like."
Seeing the girl so eager to try, Ye Fan smiled and said, "Back in school, I used to co here all the ti. Not gonna lie, every vendor here has earned money from before."
"Pfft—"
Ning Xi burst into a fit of giggles.
Her soft laughter drew glances from several passersby. Even though she was wearing a mask, her petite and delicate figure still caught the eyes of many. But when they saw the two holding hands, they quickly looked away.
These days, all the good cabbages are being snatched by pigs!
Ning Xi thought it over and finally made a decision.
Ring toss!
She knew this ga, but in the Imperial Capital, there weren’t any...
Now that she had the chance, of course she wasn’t going to miss it!
Ye Fan didn’t hesitate and dragged Ning Xi over to a ring toss stall. He waved at the stall owner who was gnawing on a pork knuckle, "Boss, how much for the rings?"
"Ten rings for a hundred yuan, fifteen for two hundred!"
"..."
"..."
Ye Fan and Ning Xi silently exchanged glances, looking puzzled.
A hundred yuan for ten rings... two hundred yuan should at least get you twenty, right?
What the heck is up with fifteen?
Is this guy serious?
Ye Fan smacked his lips and said, "Boss, why are your rings so expensive? Other places offer fifty rings for a hundred."
Although he wasn’t stingy with money, he didn’t want to be treated like a sucker and get ripped off.
The boss put down his pork knuckle and casually wiped his hands on himself.
The move made Ye Fan twitch his eyebrows in discomfort.
The boss lazily walked over and pointed at the prizes on display. "Kid, open your eyes and take a good look at what I’ve got here. These prizes are way more valuable than the ones at other stalls. Is it a problem that my rings cost more?"
After hearing that, Ye Fan finally took a proper look at the prizes on the stall. Upon closer inspection, it really was just as the boss said.
At other ring toss stalls, the prizes were just cheap trinkets worth a few dozen yuan. Even if there were expensive items, they’d be placed way at the back.
But this stall was different. All the prizes up front were worth hundreds at least. And at the very back, there were even a few luxury items.
Watches, designer handbags... and most notably, a Lioa brand-new laptop. The base model alone had a listed price of 18,888 yuan on the official website.
"I’ll take a hundred yuan worth of rings."
Ye Fan used his phone to pay 100 yuan and soon had ten rings in his hand. He handed five to Ning Xi and smiled, "Just play for fun. Throw however you like."
"Okay."
Ning Xi happily took the rings, flicked her little hand, and one plastic ring flew out.
Missed all of them!
She imdiately felt a bit awkward and stuck out her fragrant little tongue. "It’s my first ti playing, it’s normal to miss."
Ye Fan laughed and said, "Xiao Xi, actually, ring toss can be played using math. You can find the most comfortable strength for you, then use the object’s movent speed and the required angle to calculate in your mind. That way, you can greatly increase your hit rate."
"You can do that?!"
Ning Xi stared wide-eyed in amazent.
Ye Fan’s words had opened a whole new door for her.
Ye Fan gave her a sunny smile. "Of course. Give it a try."
The stall owner, who was leaning lazily on the railing nearby, snorted in disdain when he heard their conversation.
Wishful thinking!
But before he could gloat for long, Ning Xi actually landed a ring on a watch at the back row. His smug smile imdiately froze, and the pork knuckle in his hand suddenly lost all flavor.
That watch was worth nearly two thousand...
He just took a massive hit!
"Yay, I got one!"
Ning Xi jumped with joy, waving her arms, and pointed excitedly at the ringed watch. "Boss, boss!"
"I see it. I’ll get it for you now."
The boss quietly put down his pork knuckle and begrudgingly handed the watch to Ning Xi.
Finally got a custor, and of all people, it had to be a lucky girl with insane luck.
So miserable!
But what the boss didn’t know was... things were about to get even worse.
Ning Xi threw her third ring, aiming for the Lioa brand-new laptop at the very back.
Go big or go ho!
If you don’t even have a dream, how are you different from a salted fish?
The boss felt a chill down his spine and imdiately stood up straight, nervous.
The plastic ring flew through the air in a perfect arc and brushed past the laptop.
Seeing this, the boss let out a silent sigh of relief.
See? No way her luck holds forever.
But before that thought could finish, he saw a ring hooked onto the edge of the laptop’s packaging box.
In that instant, he wanted to vomit.
Vomit what?
Blood, of course!
You gotta be kidding ...
"Yay!"
Ning Xi pumped her little fist and gave Ye Fan a huge hug. "Brother, did you see? I hit the laptop! Am I amazing or what?"
Looking at the girl in his arms with her face full of "praise " written all over it, Ye Fan laughed and lightly poked her flawless white forehead. "So amazing. I bet the boss is going to cry in the bathroom now."
The boss: "..."
Damn it!
That’s a total kill shot!
Just as the two were talking, the boss walked over with the ring from the laptop in hand, face expressionless. "Sorry, this doesn’t count. The ring only hooked on—it didn’t fully go around the item. It’s invalid."
"What do you an?!"
Ning Xi’s bright eyes widened, and her voice rose, "It clearly hit!"
