The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Xi wiped the drink from the corner of her mouth and crawled out of the cat carrier.

She went to a nearby convenience store, bought a cute cat-ear hat and a face mask, and put them on her head.

After all, the entertainment options in an arcade cannot be enjoyed inside a cat bag.

Moreover, her brother had never played video games before, so she had to guide this clumsy man to try them out.

"How do I look, brother? Am I pretty?"

After changing her clothes, Xu Xi twirled in front of the man.

"It looks good, very good." Xu Nian patted her hair. "But...aren't you cold dressed like that?"

This girl didn't change her clothes before going out; she was just wearing a thin nightgown.

"I'm not cold, I'm wearing another layer underneath," Xu Xi muttered, unbuttoning her pajamas to reveal a pink tank top underneath.

"Okay, hurry up and button it up." Xu Nian was worried that she would catch a cold, so she quickly buttoned up her clothes.

"Hehe, it's okay. It's very warm inside the arcade; you might even feel hot while playing."

The girl took the man's hand, and they stepped into the arcade together.

As soon as you enter, you're greeted by a cacophony of metallic music. Racing simulators, motorcycle racing, dance machines, claw machines… all sorts of amusement facilities dazzle Xu Nian.

After exchanging some game tokens at the front desk, Xu Xi pulled the man to the racing simulator machine.

This game console is incredibly realistic, almost perfectly replicating the cockpit of a race car, complete with seats, steering wheel, seatbelts, and dashboard.

Xu Xi couldn't wait to choose a seat and sit down, adjusting the seat to its lowest depth so that the steering wheel was almost pressed against her chest.

After all, she was so short that only in this way could her toes barely reach the accelerator and brake.

"Brother, why don't you sit down?" The girl turned around and looked at the man standing behind her with a puzzled expression.

"You play, I'll just watch."

Xu Nian smiled.

In his view, being a driver is a profession, and driving is a job. Instead of having the time to play driving games, he might as well go outside and drive a car and earn some money.

Xu Xi's eyes curved slightly: "Brother, you're not a better driver than me, are you?"

"How could that be?" Xu Nian scoffed. "I drove perfectly well, okay?"

"Then, brother, do you dare to have a competition with me?"

"Forget it, I'm not interested."

"Hmph, brother, you're just bragging and bragging. Shame on you. You clearly can't outdrive me, yet you're making excuses and finding reasons to stop you."

Before she could finish speaking, the man had already sat in the driver's seat next to her and fastened his seatbelt.

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

This silly man is so cute. He looks so composed, but he can't resist her teasing with just a few words. He's like a little boy with a strong competitive spirit.

Perhaps this is his shattered childlike heart.

After the two got used to the controls for a bit, Xu Xi reached out and clicked the start game button.

In an instant, two race cars, one red and one blue, appeared in the center of the screen.

As the countdown ended with "3, 2, 1", the two race cars shot off like arrows.

"Holy crap, that fast?"

Xu Nian didn't react in time and crashed into the guardrail at the bend.

His seat jolted forward, throwing his body violently. Luckily, the seatbelt protected him; otherwise, he would have been thrown into the air.

Xu Xi reacted even faster. A second before hitting the guardrail, she swerved the steering wheel and executed a stylish drift around the corner, avoiding the risk of a collision.

Driving at extremely high speeds, the distance between her red car and Xu Nian's blue car was instantly widened.

Not to be outdone, Xu Nian quickly reversed the car, floored the accelerator, and chased after the red car.

"Hehe, brother, you're so slow." Xu Xi looked at the blue car she had left behind and made a funny face. "Brother, chase me. If you catch me, I'll let you hehehehe."

"Don't get too cocky." Xu Nian gritted her teeth and pressed the accelerator harder.

However, there is a speed limit to racing cars, and if neither driver makes a mistake, the distance between the two cars cannot be closed.

On the contrary, because Xu Xi's operation was superior and her reaction was faster, she was able to turn the corner much faster than Xu Nian.

"Are you sure you can do it, brother?" Xu Xi said smugly as she watched the gap between the two cars widen. Her little head was already starting to concoct words of mockery for her brother after the race.

Just then, she suddenly realized that her seat seemed to be sliding backward.

"Hey! Brother, what are you doing?"

She turned her head and saw the man had unlocked the seat depth lock and was slowly pushing her seat back.

Because her legs were too short, her toes could not reach the accelerator pedal quickly, and when she stepped on it, she could only step on soft air.

She removed one small hand from the steering wheel and pushed hard against the man's arm: "What are you doing? Brother, let go, let go."

Xu Nian chuckled as she endured the girl's relentless attacks with her tiny pink fists.

Soon, Xu Xi's speed gradually decreased. She made a mistake in her operation and crashed into the roadside fence.

"Bang!" Her seat shook violently, causing the girl's ponytail to swing up to her chest.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Nian accelerated in the blue car and overtook the red car, spraying exhaust fumes all over its face.

"Alright, alright, is this how you play?" Xu Xi readjusted the seat, gritted her teeth, and floored the accelerator.

Immediately afterwards, she reached out a small hand and scratched the armpit of the man next to her.

"Aiya hahahahahahaha!" Xu Nian's resistance to tickling was almost zero. After being tickled by the girl, his movements quickly became distorted.

The blue car swayed from side to side on the track, like a drunkard, moving forward hesitantly.

As the distance between the two cars narrowed, Xu Xi seized the opportunity and rammed hard into the rear of the blue car.

A loud "bang!" came from the speakers, and both of them were thrown into the air before being pulled back into their seats by the seatbelts.

"Wow, you've got some skills, Xiaoxi."

Xu Nian got excited and stopped crossing the finish line. He turned the car around and started playing bumper cars with the girl.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Where are you going to crash, you idiot! (ゝ∀･)"

"You wait, you better stay right there and don't run away!"

"Only an idiot would stop there and let you hit them! (•̀ω•́)"

"Bang!"

"Come on, come on, chase me! ヾ(´ε`ヾ)"

"Bang!"

"Aaaaaah! Bring me your tonic! (((ﾟДﾟ;)))"
