Yu Xi was very happy even though he lost. He turned around and shouted for them to look. Su Weifan didn’t know where to look for a moment, so he had to pretend not to see it.
Gu Beilu didn’t have time to pay attention to him. He turned around and gave Yu Xi an affirmative look.
He looked at the score on the machine and said, “Our Xixi is awesome.”
Yang Hui refused to accept: “It’s obvious that I won!”
Gu Beilu glared at him, then took off his coat and walked towards the shooting machine.
He felt hot all over when he saw Yu Xi shooting the basketball just now. He suddenly felt that he urgently needed to exercise, otherwise he would not be able to watch the movie calmly.
He threw the plastic bottle in his hand into the trash can accurately, took off his coat, half hung it on Yu Xi’s shoulder, and then put several coins into the machine.
“I’ll play a round,” he said, watching expressionlessly as the game machine started releasing balls.
Strong rhythmic music sounded, and several basketballs rolled in front of him. He grabbed one with one hand, looked at it with disdain, and then threw it into the basket with disdain, as easy as throwing a bottle.
Yu Xi and Yang Hui looked at him in surprise.
Gu Beilu is… not afraid of getting dirty anymore?
When Shen Di and Lin Yun came to find them, they saw a ruthless shooting robot, swinging the ball and shooting with one hand.
“What’s wrong with him? Did this machine provoke him?” Shen Di showed an expression of confusion. He had never seen Gu Beilu touch a game console in public for so many years, and he looked like he was going to smash the machine.
Su Weifan scratched his head and retreated behind Shen Di, worried that he would be injured by mistake.
The basketball shooting machine, which was originally neglected, was suddenly surrounded by people. Gu Beilu had amazing arm strength and shot the ball very frequently, one after another, until he used up all the game coins and set a new championship record.
Yu Xi clapped his hands vigorously and looked at him with admiration. He didn’t expect Gu Beilu to be so capable. After clapping his hands, he stretched out his hand and gave him a thumbs up.
“Derek, when have you ever practiced one-handed shooting?” He knew that Gu Beilu was good at everything, but he didn’t expect him to be so good in the game hall.
Gu Beilu said: “I haven’t practiced it.”
He just wanted to expend his energy, but the ball here was too dirty and he didn’t want to touch it with both hands.
He took out disinfectant from his pocket, squeezed a little for Yu Xi, and squeezed a little into his own palm.
Yu Xi rubbed the disinfectant on his palms and immediately took out his phone to take a picture of the record-breaking score on the game console. Gu Beilu never liked taking pictures, so he had to help him write it down.
“Hey, you two, don’t wash your hands yet, take the lottery tickets!” Yang Hui squatted at the ticket outlet of the machine, excitedly waiting for the lottery tickets to be spit out continuously, “It’s a record, there are so many tickets!”
“Wow!” Yu Xi had never seen so many lottery tickets before. Out of curiosity, he wanted to squat down and pick them up, but was stopped by Gu Beilu.
He checked the time and said to Yang Hui, “You pick it up, we’ll go in first.”
“Hey! You broke the record yourself! Why should I pick it up?” Yang Hui was indignant. It wasn’t his name written on the champion’s spot! The coupon wasn’t given to him to spend!
“Forget it if you don’t want it.” Gu Beilu shrugged with an indifferent expression.
Yang Hui looked reluctant, “No, don’t waste it! In the game hall, lottery tickets are money!”
Gu Beilu turned around and asked Yu Xi: “Did you want anything in the gift shop just now?”
Yu Xi thought about it and said no. He felt that playing games in the arcade was the most important thing. Winning prizes was secondary. The main thing was to have fun. He had a lot of fun, so he just gave the gifts to his friends.
Gu Beilu put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it, then glanced at Yang Hui and said, “I give it to you.”
When Shen Di heard this, he immediately squatted down and picked up the tickets together.
How can you miss such a good thing? Everyone who sees it should be able to enjoy it.
As a result, Gu Beilu and Yu Xi went to buy popcorn first, while the other four discussed in the gift shop of the game hall what gifts they could exchange for so many lottery tickets.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to satisfy everyone. Although several people had a “huge sum of money” of thousands of lottery tickets, they could not come up with a prize that everyone liked after discussing for a long time.
Shen Di wants a game console, Lin Yun wants a Polaroid camera, and Yang Hui wants action figures and peripherals.
Su Weifan didn’t dare to accept it.
But Su Weifan said: “I think these are all the fruits of Gu Beilu’s hard work. Isn’t Yu Xi’s birthday coming soon? Why don’t we pick a gift for Yu Xi?”
“Oh, right. I was wondering what gift to give.” Yang Hui immediately raised his hand to reconsider, “How about this? The four of us can come together to make a big one.”
Shen Di and Lin Yun also agreed. Since no one else would object to the gifts they chose, they might as well choose one for Yu Xi. All problems would be solved then.
Shen Di walked around the store and said that Yu Xi’s bicycle seemed to have broken down on the first day of school and had not been repaired yet.
“Yes, yes, Gu Beilu takes him to school every day.” Yang Hui also set his eyes on the bicycle in the store, “Then let’s buy him a new bicycle.” It was quite crowded for two big boys to sit on one bicycle.
What a thoughtful gift!
Su Weifan counted the tickets in his hand carefully: “The bicycle seems to be the special prize here. Are the tickets we have enough?”
Shen Di had made up his mind and took Lin Yun to test drive the car: “It’s okay, if it’s not enough, we can add more.”
So, a few people decided to buy bicycles and chose delivery.
On the other side of the mall, Yu Xi was happily buying popcorn.
This movie was a Hollywood action blockbuster that lasted more than two hours. He bought caramel popcorn and Coke for everyone and thought it should be enough.
After entering the screening room, he and Gu Beilu sat next to the aisle and placed a large box of popcorn between the two seats.
Gu Beilu leaned back in the chair, resting his elbow on the handle and tilting his head slightly. He saw Yu Xi sitting like a serious elementary school student, with his back straight and wearing the coat he had given him.
So cute.
He tugged at the edge of his coat to flatten it, unaware of the upward curve of his mouth in the dark.
He always liked to see Yu Xi like this. His clothes were always too big for Yu Xi, wrapping up the skinny person tightly.
The scene of Yu Xi shooting the basketball just now flashed through his mind again.
He picked up the iced Coke, took a long sip, and turned to look at the screen.
Yu Xi stared at the screen intently, his big eyes not blinking, occasionally reaching out to take a piece or two of popcorn and putting it in his mouth, and he would wow softly when he saw the special effects exploding.
He had a habit of eating faster when he was concentrating on watching movies or TV shows. The more intense the plot, the faster he ate. When the action movie reached its climax, the pace became more intense, and before he knew it, only half of the mountain of popcorn was left.
Gu Beilu lowered his eyes, staring at Yu Xi’s small white hand reaching into the box, digging deeper and deeper, without even noticing that he had eaten up his half.
Gu Beilu had no choice but to shake the box gently, causing the popcorn to tilt towards Yu Xi’s side.
The movie scene suddenly changed and the spacecraft crashed into the satellite with a loud bang. Yu Xi was so scared that his little hands trembled and he overturned the popcorn box.
Popcorn spilled all over Gu Beilu.
He uttered a low cry and immediately reached out to pick it up.
The cinema was already dimly lit and crowded, and thinking about how Gu Beilu couldn’t stand a grain of rice falling on his clothes, he became anxious and his movements became even more flustered.
Gu Beilu’s jawline was tense. He felt that Yu Xi was simply adding fuel to the fire.
He quickly stopped the rebellious hands.
But it was too late.
Yu Xi froze, clearly sensing something was wrong.
