During the barbecue lunch, Yang Cheng, Anxin, and Hui Lin enjoyed the food. Yang Cheng felt that he was more suitable to do his old job. It was much more presentable than when he was in the office.
Yang Cheng even thought of asking Lin Ruoxi to abandon Yu Lei International one day and follow him to the market to sell mutton skewers. At most, he could just rent a shop to sell them. However, such a beautiful dream would probably never come true in this lifetime.
Lin Ruoxi, on the other hand, felt like chewing wax.
She recalled a novel she had read. The female lead was a female doctor who married a military officer. Due to the huge cultural difference between the two, the female doctor always felt that her husband was vulgar, but she really couldn't bear to part with this man. Until the end of the novel, the female doctor didn't divorce her husband. However, she couldn't figure out why she could tolerate this "vulgar" military officer husband.
At that time, Lin Ruoxi felt that the female doctor was contradictory. How could she not divorce her husband even though he was vulgar? Now, she finally understood that even she couldn't figure out the matters between men and women.
Looking at the man sitting on the wooden chair beside her, his upper body bare, as if he was doing farm work. He finished the greasy sausage in big mouthfuls and didn't even bother to take a tissue. He directly wiped his mouth with his arm. The grease was all over his hands and mouth. Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but sigh faintly. She took a stack of tissue from the side and passed it to Yang Cheng. "Don't use your hands. It's so dirty."
Yang Cheng grinned. "I'm used to it. At that time, I didn't even have a bowl to eat with, let alone a tissue. I just wiped my mouth subconsciously."
Yang Cheng took the tissue and wiped his mouth.
Although Lin Ruoxi was curious about Yang Cheng's past life, she only vaguely knew about it. However, she didn't want to ask Yang Cheng. She felt that if it was something she should know, Yang Cheng would tell her. After all, this guy usually talked a lot.
The reason why he didn't say it was probably because he felt that there was no need for him to know.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly nodded with a gentle smile on her face. There was a hint of enchanting charm on her beautiful features, but she was holding a half-eaten roasted chicken wing in her hand, which made her look a little strange to others.
Unfortunately, no one else noticed.
After lunch, some waiters who had been waiting for a long time came out of nowhere and helped clean up all the garbage.
Lin Ruoxi frowned and said to a waiter, "Tell your manager not to send people to follow us. It's like watching us. It's uncomfortable."
The waiter kept quiet out of fear and hurriedly lowered his head and bowed. "Boss … Boss, please forgive us. We really aren't spying on you. We just want to serve you. It's rare for you to come over."
Lin Ruoxi waved her hand and told them to leave quickly. In front of her subordinates, she could always show some dignity.
"Sister Ruoxi is so impressive!" Anxin whispered.
Yang Cheng looked at her teasingly, "Do you think so too?"
"Of course." Anxin said seriously, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
After eating, Yang Cheng put on his coat. Actually, he quite enjoyed the feeling of blowing in the cold wind with his upper body bare. This was something he often did when he was on a mission in Siberia. At that time, his entire body would be covered with black and messy lines to hide in the black forest. Firstly, he could avoid some ferocious beasts, and secondly, he could hide and wait for a chance to kill in one strike.
Those times, when he thought about it now, still felt like yesterday. But at this moment, he was a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, working as a white-collar worker in the city.
Yang Cheng didn't feel that this kind of life was monotonous. Instead, it made his heart even more satisfied.
Of course, if his wife could be more cooperative and get along with his lovers, that would be the best.
The four of them strolled along the lake. The rustling wind blew through their hair, bringing with it the smell of soil and withered leaves. The smile on Hui Lin's face never faded. She told Anxin and Lin Ruoxi about some of her experiences on Mount Emei. The three women were like a drama, chattering endlessly.
At this moment, it seemed that bringing Hui Lin out to relax was the right decision.
Not far away, there was a small resting area mainly for the tourists of the resort to rest. The small shop sold steaming hot tea eggs, dried tofu, and some drinks.
However, at this time, most of the people were still having their lunch. The resting area was empty except for an old man in a cotton vest who was looking after the shop.
Outside the shop, there was a small game point that attracted the attention of the three women.
It was a stair platform filled with cartoon plush toys. The customer would throw a small plastic ball to knock the plush toy off the platform, and the plush toy would belong to the customer.
This kind of game could be seen in many amusement parks. However, Lin Ruoxi, Hui Lin, and Anxin had never seen it before, so they were immediately interested.
Most importantly, on the highest spot on the platform, there was a big white plush polar bear plushie. The animal was round and very eye-catching.
Anxin was fine, but Lin Ruoxi and Hui Lin were a pair of sisters who still had childlike hearts, especially Lin Ruoxi. Back then, she kept staring at the doll in the dumpling shop, which led to the follow-up of Yang Cheng's challenge of 88 dumplings. Now that she saw the big teddy bear, Sister Lin's eyes lit up again.
Yang Cheng knew that Lin Ruoxi was too embarrassed to ask to play, so he put on an act and said, "That game looks quite interesting. Since we're just going to walk around, why don't we go and play?"
A trace of joy flashed through Lin Ruoxi's eyes, but she still said expressionlessly, "I'm fine with anything. Hui Lin, do you want to play?"
Hui Lin nodded vigorously, so the four of them walked in front of the old man. Yang Cheng asked, "Old man, how much does this game cost?"
The old man pointed to an inconspicuous small wooden board at the side. On it was written in cinnabar with a brush, "Five dollars for two times, ten dollars for five times."
"Then let's buy it for thirty dollars first. It's just five balls for each of you." Yang Cheng took out a fifty dollar note from his pocket. He only had some small change with him, so he didn't have any big change.
The old man seemed to be a little cold, his hands trembling as he took the money. After giving the change to Yang Cheng for twenty dollars, he took three small plastic baskets and distributed them to Lin Ruoxi and the other two girls.
"Young ladies, stand outside the table and hit it. It's up to your luck whether you can hit it or not. I suggest you hit the small ones. The big ones might look good, but even if you hit it, you might not be able to hit it off the table," the old man kindly advised.
The plastic balls were hollow, so when they were thrown, most of the force would be used up. Moreover, they were light, so when the wind blew, they would lose their aim. Therefore, it was very difficult to hit something even though the distance seemed short.
Hui Lin stood behind the table first. She knew martial arts. Although she wasn't good at throwing hidden weapons, her accuracy and strength were definitely not bad.
The first ball was thrown, and a teddy bear in the middle was smashed to the ground.
The old man clapped his hands in surprise, "Young lady, your aim is not bad."
Hui Lin smiled sweetly. After the old man passed the teddy bear to her, she continued to hit three more balls, but she didn't hit anything. Finally, on the fifth ball, Hui Lin hit a white pony. The old man picked up the pony and gave it to Hui Lin.
Yang Cheng could tell that Hui Lin was going easy on them. He secretly asked Hui Lin softly, "Why don't you hit the big polar bear? If you use a little bit of your inner strength, the bear will be smashed down. "
Hui Lin felt Yang Cheng's hot breath on her ear. She blushed shyly and looked at Lin Ruoxi cautiously. Seeing that Lin Ruoxi wasn't paying attention, she said, "Leave the big bear to sister, she seems to like it more than me. Besides, it's not easy for you to do business in such a cold weather. I'm already cheating by knowing martial arts, I can't bully you, sir."
Yang Cheng had an 'as expected' expression on his face. He caressed Hui Lin's ponytail, "You're so softhearted."
Although Yang Cheng only caressed it casually, Hui Lin's heart was racing. In Hui Lin's eyes, caressing her hair was a very intimate action.
However, Yang Cheng didn't pay much attention to it. His gaze was on Anxin, who was the second to throw the ball.
Anxin didn't have Hui Lin's accuracy and strength. After throwing five balls, she still didn't hit a single doll. She couldn't help but pout and said to the sir, "Sir, I want another five balls." She took out her wallet and took out a ten yuan note.
The sir was, of course, happy. He took the money and gave another five balls to Anxin.
Anxin wasn't disappointed this time. When she threw the fourth ball, she hit the smallest doll. She was happy and didn't plan to continue.
"Sister Ruoxi, you can do it!" Anxin retreated and didn't forget to cheer for Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi responded casually. She didn't have time to care about Anxin. She took a deep breath and seemed to be a little nervous. She walked behind the table with the plastic frame and stared at the polar bear doll with her big watery eyes.
"Sister, you're so serious." Hui Lin couldn't help but say.
Anxin walked over and whispered, "You don't look like you're going to hit the polar bear doll, you look like you're going to hunt the polar bear. Eh … The more I look at her, the more girly she becomes."
At this time, Lin Ruoxi finally "brewed" her fighting spirit. She took out a plastic ball and threw it at the polar bear doll!
"Swoosh." The ball was thrown with enough force, but it flew off course.
Lin Ruoxi's face immediately turned red like a ripe apple. Obviously, it was embarrassing for her to miss in front of her love rival, her husband, and her sister.
Lin Ruoxi chose not to look at the expressions of the people around her. She picked up the ball and threw it at the polar bear doll.
Unfortunately, Lin Ruoxi threw all five balls, but they still couldn't touch the polar bear, let alone hit the table.
Without saying a word, Lin Ruoxi took out a fifty-dollar bill from her wallet and gave it to the old man. "I want twenty-five balls."
The old man was overjoyed. He immediately gave her twenty-five balls and stuffed the fifty-dollar bill into his vest pocket.
Lin Ruoxi took the basket full of balls and continued to throw them at the polar bear. However, no matter how Lin Ruoxi controlled the ball, it flew to the left or right, but it didn't hit the polar bear. Even the other small dolls didn't get hit.
After throwing twenty-five balls, Lin Ruoxi's face was no longer red, but rather a little pale. However, her gaze had become murderous, and it was frightening to look at.
"Sir …" Lin Ruoxi called out. Her voice was enough to freeze people. Even though the weather was very cold, the old man still felt the temperature drop by more than ten degrees.
"Little … little girl, do you still want more?" The old man was actually a little stunned. He had never seen such an unlucky customer. After throwing thirty balls, she couldn't even hit the smallest doll.
Lin Ruoxi took out a hundred-dollar bill from her wallet and said, "Give me fifty balls."
The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Little girl, you're making me feel embarrassed. You keep the money. Why don't I give you a little doll? Don't be angry. Just take it as bad luck."
"No!"
Lin Ruoxi's voice suddenly became stern and her face was frosty. She stared at the old man until his heart was in his throat.
"I don't believe that I can't even hit a little doll! Why can they hit it, but I can't? Sir, don't talk to me about giving it to you. I don't want it, I want to hit it myself! "Lin Ruoxi pointed to Hui Lin not far away and said to Anxin.
Hui Lin and Anxin looked at each other, both a little puzzled.
Yang Chen, on the other hand, couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had long known about Lin Ruoxi's strong personality. Otherwise, she wouldn't have worked so hard to prove to the world that she could manage Yu Lei International.
But now, Yang Cheng found that he had underestimated Lin Ruoxi's strong side. This girl's competitive spirit could be considered to have reached the "strange" level. Even fighting a little doll could be raised to such a level of seriousness.
Thinking about it, Lin Ruoxi regarded Anxin as an imaginary enemy. She didn't want to lose to Anxin in any way. Moreover, she didn't want to admit defeat. If she couldn't hit the polar bear she liked, she wouldn't give up easily.
The poor old man was shocked. This little girl's eyes didn't look like she was going to hit a toy. She looked like she was going to kill someone!
However, since she insisted on giving him money, the old man couldn't say much. He gave Lin Ruoxi two big baskets of fifty balls. The old man shook his head with a bitter smile.
Lin Ruoxi took the two baskets of balls and placed them in front of her. She continued to shoot at the polar bear. She was almost like a machine gun, constantly throwing colorful plastic balls.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Lin Ruoxi aimed, the ball wouldn't hit the doll.
"I say, little girl, don't keep staring at the big bear. It looks the biggest and easiest to hit, but it's actually the furthest away. Why don't you hit the small ones? Those that are closer are easier to hit," the old man advised. He couldn't bear to see such a beautiful little girl being bullied.
Lin Ruoxi bit her lip, her eyes were firm and determined, "No, I must hit that big bear!"
At this time, Lin Ruoxi had finished shooting fifty balls, so she took out two hundred yuan from her wallet and said to the old man, "Sir, I want a hundred balls!"
The old man was helpless, but he had no choice but to send another hundred balls over.
How could it be so easy to throw all one hundred balls? Lin Ruoxi threw about a dozen of them, took a break, and continued throwing again. Half an hour passed just like that.
Hui Lin and Anxin were about to cry. They felt that it was unbelievable. Even if she threw with her eyes closed, she should at least hit one out of a hundred balls, right?!
When Lin Ruoxi finished throwing again and took out four hundred yuan from her wallet, asking for two hundred balls, the old man's face turned pale.
"Little girl! I'm begging you, I'll give you the big bear and the other small toys. The toys there aren't even worth four hundred yuan! " The old man spoke from the bottom of his heart. He was already frightened by Lin Ruoxi. How could there be such a scary customer in this world!?
"Ruoxi, do you want me to help you? Just treat it as a gift from your husband. "Yang Cheng stepped forward, trying to persuade Lin Ruoxi. If this went on, it would be dark soon.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng coldly. "Why? You think I can't do it too? If Anxin can hit it, why can't I? I won't lose. "
Yang Cheng touched his face, suddenly speechless. He could not say, "Actually, you have already lost."
This time, Lin Ruoxi snatched almost two hundred balls from the old man. They were like a small hill, and the two hundred balls filled the small table.
Lin Ruoxi loosened her arms and continued to throw the ball down like rain …
However, life was unpredictable. It was just like there were people who could survive in a hail of bullets. After throwing four to five hundred plastic balls, Lin Ruoxi still hadn't hit a single doll.
At this time of the year, the day was not long. By the time Lin Ruoxi finished shooting the two hundred balls, the sun had slowly set …
Lin Ruoxi's face was already gloomy. Her beautiful face was a little frightening, especially her dark eyes, which seemed to be able to spit out flames that could burn people to death.
The old man had his back hunched, and no one knew when he had sneaked into the shop. He was not willing to accept any more money, and only hoped that this little lady would leave as soon as possible.
Seeing that Hui Lin and Anxin were already in a daze, Yang Cheng knew that he could not go on like this. He stepped forward and pulled Lin Ruoxi's arm. "Let's go. Stop playing. Who would be angry when they come out to relax and play a game?"
Although Lin Ruoxi was very unwilling, she also knew that she had gone too far. She looked at the big polar bear for a while, then nodded and said, "Wait for me."
Then, under Yang Cheng's surprised gaze, Lin Ruoxi walked to the door of the shop, put a ten-yuan bill on the table, and said to the old man who did not dare to look at her, "Sir, I'll use this ten yuan to buy ten of your plastic balls."
"Ah?"
The old man thought that he had heard wrongly. With a sad face, he said, "Little girl, you still want to smash them? I'm old, and it's easy for me to have a heart attack! "
"No, I'm buying the balls. I'll go back and practice. I'll come again when I'm done." Lin Ruoxi said seriously, "Sir Bear, please keep them for me. I must get them."
This time, not only the old man, but also Yang Cheng, Hui Lin, and Anxin were stunned.
Anxin drew a cross in front of her chest and whispered behind Yang Cheng, "Honey, I'll be a good girl in the future. I don't want to fight with such a crazy woman for a man … She can really scare people to death by smashing a teddy bear. If I fight with her for a husband, I'll probably be killed by her before I even start …"
Yang Cheng reprimanded her discontentedly, "What do you mean by 'crazy woman'? Don't talk nonsense."
Anxin stuck out her tongue and pouted. Obviously, she did not think that she had said anything wrong. She stole a glance at Lin Ruoxi, who was meticulously holding the plastic balls. For the first time, there was a trace of sincere fear in her eyes.
