Wang Yue watched with relish from below the stage.
The girl's expression was too amusing, conveying her indignation to perfection.
After watching for a while, Wang Yue felt the urge to relieve himself.
He went to the restroom.
When he returned, he found a boy standing next to Qiao Zixuan.
This boy was dancing ostentatiously, as if deliberately showing off, leaping and bouncing.
From Wang Yue's perspective, the boy had some dancing skill, but not much. An amateur might find it impressive, but an insider would call it by a professional term: "dancing like a fool."
After the song ended.
The boy took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Qiao Zixuan.
"Beautiful girl, you dance very well, but some of your moves are not standard. Shall I teach you?"
The boy flashed a smile he thought was very cool.
Unfortunately, the piece of food stuck between his teeth betrayed him.
Qiao Zixuan, a girl with a penchant for cleanliness, felt as if ants were crawling all over her at the sight of the boy. She quickly waved her hands and said, "No, thank you, I'll play by myself."
"Oh, beautiful girl, you don't need to be shy."
The boy quickly said, "Go and ask around, who doesn't know me, Liu Kai, in this arcade? I'm a professional dancer. If you learn from me for a few days, I guarantee you'll be the coolest kid on the dance machine."
Liu Kai spoke, spittle flying.
The visual was truly something.
Qiao Zixuan's face turned green. She quickly got off the dance machine and said, "You can play by yourself."
After saying that, she started looking around for Wang Yue.
Upon seeing Wang Yue, her face lit up, and she was about to trot over.
"Hey, beautiful girl, you really don't need to be shy."
Liu Kai grabbed Qiao Zixuan's clothes, grinned broadly again, revealing those remnants of yesterday's meal.
It wasn't that Liu Kai was overly confident.
He had charmed countless schoolgirls with his showy dance moves. Those girls, initially indifferent to him, were eventually conquered by his flashy style.
"Let go of me!"
Qiao Zixuan's voice rose by eight octaves.
Her expression of disgust was palpable.
But Liu Kai acted as if he hadn't seen it, shamelessly continuing, "Beautiful girl, I'm really professional. Let's get acquainted, what's your name?"
"Let go."
Just then, a pleasant male voice sounded.
Liu Kai looked up and saw an incredibly handsome man walking towards them.
A sense of inferiority surged within him.
But he immediately felt ashamed of his inferiority.
I am the dance god of the arcade, how can I yield to handsomeness?
"Slap."
As Liu Kai stood there in a daze, Wang Yue slapped the back of his hand.
A sharp pain shot through him, and Liu Kai immediately let go of Qiao Zixuan's clothes.
"Don't dirty the clothes I gave her,"
Wang Yue said.
Qiao Zixuan immediately hid behind Wang Yue.
"Let's go."
Wang Yue cast a cold glance at Liu Kai.
What kind of look was that?
Liu Kai felt cold sweat trickling down his back, as if he would be instantly eliminated if he persisted.
Liu Kai didn't dare to say a word, watching Wang Yue and Qiao Zixuan leave.
"Whew."
After leaving the arcade, Qiao Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm never going to the arcade again."
"Don't be afraid."
Wang Yue smiled and comforted her.
Qiao Zixuan gestured, "You didn't see that guy just now, he had food stuck in his teeth. My goodness, I got goosebumps all over. And yet he acted like he was so handsome. My heavens, how can such a person exist?"
Watching Qiao Zixuan gesture earnestly, Wang Yue found her inexplicably cute and couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're still laughing!"
Qiao Zixuan pouted and said, "It was really scary."
"Alright."
Wang Yue gently patted Qiao Zixuan's head. "Let's go somewhere else to play."
Qiao Zixuan was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed.
Oh my god, this head pat?!
Why does it feel so sweet?
Ahhh, is this our first intimate contact?
Qiao Zixuan's mind was completely jumbled. Blushing, she followed Wang Yue, lost in thought.
Meanwhile.
Liu Kai finally snapped back to reality.
He recalled Wang Yue's gaze from just now. Although he felt cowardly, he really didn't want to face it again.
"Liu Kai, why are you so timid?"
Just then, a young man with dyed red hair walked over.
He was accompanied by a few punks.
These punks had earrings, lip rings, and the like.
The kind of people ordinary folks would steer clear of.
Liu Kai gave a wry laugh. "If you're so capable, you go ahead. Don't just talk."
It wasn't you who got that look, what do you know.
Liu Kai thought to himself.
No matter what, he wouldn't provoke a tough guy with that kind of gaze.
The red-haired guy, though verbally mocking Liu Kai, would never put himself in danger.
In fact, he had also seen Wang Yue's gaze from a distance and immediately thought that this person must have killed dozens of people to have such an expression.
To provoke such a person would be suicidal, wouldn't it?
...
"This is the fun place you were talking about?"
Qiao Zixuan curiously eyed the various game equipment before her.
"Yes."
Wang Yue smiled and nodded, then said to the arcade owner, "Boss, we'll play Dynasty Warriors 4."
The owner said enthusiastically, "Sit at this machine."
He led the two of them to a large television in the center.
"How do you play this?"
Qiao Zixuan picked up the controller, her eyes full of curiosity.
She had never been to an arcade in her life, nor had she ever played a video game.
"You'll know soon."
Wang Yue said with a smile.
Soon, the game started.
Qiao Zixuan chose Xiao Qiao.
She said the character's face was pretty.
Wang Yue thought to himself that women were all the same, they had to choose good-looking heroes when playing games.
Then the two of them began this musou-style hack-and-slash game.
Despite it being her first time playing, Qiao Zixuan played like a pro. Before long, she was executing various combos with ease.
This was Qiao Zixuan's first time playing a game, and her face was flushed with excitement, occasionally exclaiming,
"Ah, I'm going to be beaten to death, Da Yue Yue, come save me quickly!"
"Wow, my ultimate move is so cool."
"I'm so good!"
Other gamers in the arcade cast envious glances at Wang Yue.
Having such a cute girlfriend who could play games with him, and come to the arcade together, she was truly a treasure!
The two of them battled intensely for three hours.
Finally, drenched in sweat, Qiao Zixuan had her fill.
When they left the arcade, the sky had already darkened.
"Alright, I'll take you home."
Wang Yue said.
"Da Yue Yue, I had a really great time today. Thank you for taking me to play games."
Qiao Zixuan said with a smile.
"You're welcome. I'll take you to play other games next time."
Wang Yue also said with a smile.
As they walked on the road, they felt that the distance between them had seemingly shortened again.
Wang Yue hadn't expected Qiao Zixuan to be so enthusiastic about gaming.
But she was indeed very cute.
