Chapter 207 Isn’t That a Loss for Me?

Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Isn’t That a Loss for Me?

"Then come play with me!" she told him to put down all the bags, "When we were kids, there was an arcade on Hongliu Road, and after school, it was always packed with boys."

"I know," he had attended school there for a few years.

Tu Hengsha laughed, "Back then, there were always naughty boys who played games until they forgot to go home, and then their parents would come looking for them with sticks. It was hilarious. Oh, and there were boys who asked me to cover for them—my mom’s students—asking me to lie, saying my mom kept them to do homework."

He found it amusing as he listened, "Did you help them?"

"Haha, they slipped me candy, so I did!" Tu Hengsha burst into laughter, "Does that make me a little bad?"

He secretly imagined the scene: a dirty, sweaty boy slipping two pieces of candy into her tiny hands, both threatening and tempting, "Remember to lie for me! Or I won’t buy you candy next time!"

Suddenly, there was a hint of longing in his eyes.

She, however, dragged him to the racing machine, sat him down, and put in the coins for him, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "You should be able to do this, right? Give it a try."

His driving skills were decent, but since he’d never encountered this before, he was a bit rusty at first. After two rounds, he got the hang of it. Tu Hengsha won the first two rounds, but then she was utterly defeated in all subsequent rounds, too dejected to put in more coins.

He found it funny, "Should I let you win?"

"What’s the point of that? Let’s not play this anymore!" She dragged him to another game.

They played everything in the place, but it seemed she only found confidence in the dance machine.

Mr. Su’s lack of coordination was quite apparent; he was truly incapable when it came to this. After several rounds of joy, she inexplicably felt sorry for him and decisively pulled him away to play basketball instead.

"Why not dance anymore?" Basketball was something he enjoyed; he had been the captain of the basketball team when he was younger, but those hobbies had faded over time.

"Not playing anymore!" she puffed out her cheeks.

He reached out to pinch her face, "Why aren’t you happy even when you win?"

Indeed, she wasn’t happy about winning...

She had come to play with Xiao Xu, after all. Was it interesting to crush him and watch him helpless against the music?

But she said, "I’m not unhappy!" Then added, "I’m just happy playing with you! No matter what we play! Hurry up, let’s see who scores more baskets! The loser has to accept a penalty! It’s only fun with stakes!"

"Alright! What’s the penalty?" He got into the rhythm of basketball effortlessly, the ball spinning on his index finger.

She looked at him, momentarily dazed.

At that moment, with exercise, his jacket open, a couple of buttons on his shirt undone, revealing a hint of healthy, glowing skin. She quickly shifted her gaze to his face, only to see a few strands of his slightly disheveled hair from the exercise, slightly damp with sweat. His usually pale face now had a faint flush, making him appear lively and young, with a never-before-seen sparkle in his eyes.

Xiao Xu, isn’t this how you should be?

"What are you staring at me for? Aren’t you going to shoot?" The ball passed from his fingertips to his left hand, then to his right hand, before shooting out in a beautiful arc, making it into the basket.

Handsome like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy.

She didn’t bother shooting, instead, she pounced onto him, hanging around his neck.

The light sweat on his neck wasn’t unpleasant; on the contrary, his unique green grass scent seemed to be intensified by the sweat, becoming even more potent.

With people coming and going in the arcade and lots of elementary school students around, he felt a bit uneasy, holding her arm that was draped around his neck, glancing around, and asked quietly, "What’s up?"

"Xiao Xu..." she softly called his name, looking up at him, her eyes shining like stars, "I mean, do you believe me if I say I was blown away by how handsome you are?"

He chuckled, ruffling her hair, "Then what should we do? You were already silly, what if you get even sillier!"

Her lively eyes darted around, and she quickly pecked his lips and jumped away.

Being a girl, she unexpectedly felt a sense of triumphant mischief at her successful sneak kiss, "Let’s play, let’s play! The loser has to agree to one request from the other!"

Unsurprisingly, she lost.

Cheerfully hugging the ball, she asked him, "What do you want me to agree to?"

He couldn’t help but find it funny, "Why are you so happy about losing the bet?"

"Yes, yes! I just want to know what you’ll ask of me," she nodded vigorously.

He thought seriously for a moment, "I haven’t thought of anything yet, I want to keep this privilege for a critical moment later."

"No, no! Settle today’s affairs today, valid for only one day! Expired becomes invalid!" she hurriedly interjected.

"Is that so..." He pondered for a moment, "I really can’t think of anything right now, I’ll think about it later."

"How hard can it be?" she leaned closer, "Here’s a hint, generally in dating, at this moment, the male lead would ask... for example, can I kiss the heroine?"

This time, he genuinely laughed, "Wouldn’t I be losing out then?"

Tu Hengsha was outraged, "You lose? Asking for a kiss from me is you losing? Do you have a death wish?" She tossed the ball aside and chased him down.

He dodged, and they started playing cat and mouse in the arcade.

Running, Tu Hengsha stopped in her tracks, realizing that the laughing, roughhousing, childlike Xiao Xu, could she, after all, find him again?

On the way back, he took her to buy candy, two big bags of all kinds of candies, he took out two and slipped them into her hand, "Here’s some candy for you, come play with me again next time."

Tu Hengsha remembered those boys in her childhood who used to slip candies into her hands and laughed, "Just two candies to get me to do something for you?"

"How much did they give you?" He held another in his hand.

"They had to empty their pockets for me!"

"That’s not possible, two at a time, if you behave, you’ll get more next time."

Tu Hengsha chuckled, wondering what was the point of saying these silly things to each other, yet it was just so amusing, wasn’t it?

The two of them returned fully loaded, with bags filling the car’s back seat until it could no longer hold any more!

He suddenly said something unexpected, "Hmm, soon it will be a home for two people."

Tu Hengsha was bewildered for a moment, then realized he was responding to her earlier words about "a home for one person," "What do you mean? You’re taking these things back to the alley?"

"What else?" He started the car, "Next time, you won’t have to worry about wearing my clothes to work."

"..." How could this be okay? Living together openly? Her mom would kill her! She exclaimed, "I won’t live with you! Those who cohabit before marriage aren’t good kids!"

He gave her a look that was hard to describe, "If you want to cohabit, I can think about it."
