Cheng Nianzhi reached out and took the doll out of the retrieval slot, handing it to Lu Liruan, and noticed a look of suspicion on her face.

"How did you catch him?"

[Li Ruan: I can't get it out, it's so hard, this machine seems to be malfunctioning... A Zhi: *snap*, it's out—]

Give your wife some face, quick, admit you were just lucky!

Then Cheng Nianzhi didn't see what was said in the comments.

He thought Lu Liruan was genuinely asking him how he had captured her.

I patiently put a few more game coins in, and then I won twice out of three tries.

[Hilarious! My beautiful wife's eyes are wide open: disbelief, unwilling to admit it.jpg]

Lu Liruan, holding the doll in her hand, asked, "Why couldn't I grab it just now?"

Cheng Nianzhi pointed to the distribution of the dolls inside the machine: "Some places can be grabbed, while others definitely can't be grabbed in one go. The hooks here aren't particularly loose, so it's easy to grab them with a little skill."

Seeing that Lu Liruan looked completely bewildered, Cheng Nianzhi pressed her shoulders and brought her in front of him: "Shall I teach you?"

"Teach me! Teach me! Once I learn this trick, I'll dominate the arcade!"

Lu Liruan instantly forgot the embarrassment of not being able to catch him earlier, and looked up at Cheng Nianzhi with great interest.

Lu Liruan leaned against Cheng Nianzhi's chest and shoulders, tilting her head back and staring at Cheng Nianzhi with adorable blinking eyes, looking like a kitten begging for a pat on the head.

The kitten was completely unaware of what was happening, still swaying its shoulders, until Cheng Nianzhi reached out his hand...

Place your index finger between her forehead and the center of her forehead.

Lu Liruan: ? ?

Cheng Nianzhi sighed: "They only pay attention to me when they encounter something that interests them..."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lu Liruan tried to move away, but found herself completely enveloped by Cheng Nianzhi.

Cheng Nianzhi placed both hands on the claw machine, while he himself was trapped in this small square between his arms and the claw machine.

Only when you get close do you realize the sense of oppression.

Cheng Nianzhi looked down at her, his seriousness almost palpable.

"What are you looking at?"

His eyes, which were always gentle and affectionate, were now fixed on something, deep and unfathomable, revealing no emotion whatsoever, and cool to the eye.

It's even somewhat dangerous, like a sight used to pinpoint a target.

“I’m looking for the guilty conscience on your face…” Cheng Nianzhi raised an eyebrow, and that chilling feeling vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

"Ugh..." Lu Liruan's sudden heart palpitation left her speechless. She opened her mouth, but could only hum and murmur without saying anything coherent.

[Hahahaha! I feel like Ah Zhi is about to scream in anguish: Li Ruan! Li Ruan, where is your conscience?!]

Don't bother looking anymore, she's a good actress!

[Hilarious! Look how wronged our Ah Zhi looks. He used to be so sullen, but now he's acting like a resentful husband.]

[Hehe, I love watching this! It's all about men being lovestruck; a lovestruck mind is a man's best dowry!]

Lu Liruan took a breath and uttered that scumbag's usual line: "If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do..."

With a gesture of spreading her hands, Lu Liruan amused herself first.

"I was just worrying about the schedule, you don't understand. It's hard to make a good living when the production team is so stingy. You have to listen to me, understand?"

Lu Liruan, with her characteristic smooth talk, patted Cheng Nianzhi's face a few times: "Good boy~"

[Holy crap, who knows! That was so intense! Slapping my face felt so good! And the best part was how gentle Cheng Nianzhi's smile was when she told him to be good!]

The tension between them is so intense, it's making me numb!

[I don't know which one to envy more. I want to hear Ah Zhi act cute with me, but I also want my beautiful wife to pat my face!]

"Oh, I see... Li Ruan, you've worked hard." Cheng Nianzhi obediently cooperated with her, seeing Lu Li Ruan's smug look, as if she were radiating joy at the slightest bit of kindness.

He chuckled and leaned forward slightly, restricting Lu Liruan's movement.

Lu Liruan could feel his chest vibrate slightly with his laughter. Cheng Nianzhi's slightly curled, long hair, smelling of shampoo, hung down beside her neck, smooth and ticklish.

Lu Liruan's heart softened. Cheng Nianzhi looked so handsome when he smiled. She hoped he could stay happy like this forever.

"Okay... it's embarrassing for you to be filmed like this~" Lu Liruan whispered.

Cheng Nianzhi turned his head to the side, allowing the camera to capture his entire face. His gaze lifted, revealing smooth and delicate lines connecting his brow bone and nose bridge.

The shadows of eyelashes were cast on the eyelids in the colorful lights of the arcade.

It was bizarre and incredibly beautiful.

"Didn't you say you'd teach me how to play the claw machine?"

"How is it shameful? As long as Li Ruan promises me she won't do it again, I'll teach you."

Lu Liruan realized he was teasing her, pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright, alright, I really can't do anything with you." After saying that, she laughed so hard she bent over.

He's such a good actor; anyone who works with Cheng Nianzhi will definitely be drawn into the role by him.

Cheng Nianzhi then stood up and, pressing Lu Liruan's shoulder, turned her towards the claw machine.

Lu Liruan gripped the bottom of the joystick, while Cheng Nian gripped the top, applying force to Lu Liruan.

Then, amidst Lu Liruan's startled screams, they achieved a great victory.

Lu Liruan was having so much fun, her eyes shining, that she didn't notice that Cheng Nianzhi's palm was already covering the back of her hand, their body heat mingling together...

[Ah Zhi's routine... is so smooth and natural, every bit of her coquettishness is perfect, no one! No one can resist it! (Gasping for breath—)]

[Damn, I always thought you were a naive, artsy guy, but it turns out you're a love-struck, manipulative green tea b*tch. Please, start a class!]

[Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly; the beautiful wife is about to take the bait!]

[Hilarious! Only my beautiful wife was focused on winning the claw machine; her eyes were filled with innocent naiveté as she looked at the plush toys.]

[Li Ruan! Li Ruan, turn around and look at him! Ah Zhi is such a pitiful guy.]

Lu Liruan and Cheng Nianzhi's final score was twenty-six dolls.

The two of them couldn't hold the dolls with all four hands, so the arcade staff kindly brought over two ropes and helped them string the dolls together.

Lu Liruan hurriedly prepared to carry the spoils back herself, but because there were too many, they blocked her face, so the cameraman had to carry them on his back.

"Is it okay? Is it really alright?" Lu Liruan asked with concern.

The two cameramen silently gave each other a thumbs up.

"The director is really stingy. It's just the two of you filming, and there's not even anyone to help with the equipment." Lu Liruan and Cheng Nianzhi each helped the cameraman carry a tripod.

Director: You've been criticizing me all day!

I sent you two on a date, not to pick up goods!

When Lu Liruan's group returned to the villa, they found they were the last group to arrive, and the atmosphere inside the villa was rather strange...
