It had been a long time since she had chatted with a boy, and no one cared about her now. In addition, Ji Hang's words made her feel especially relaxed as if they had been friends for a long time. So Li Rongrong and Ji Hang chatted for a long time.
Li Rongrong wiped her mouth in satisfaction and prepared to pay the bill.
"I already paid. There's no reason for a girl to pay for a meal," Ji Hang said.
Li Rongrong felt a little embarrassed and said, "But I said I would treat you..."
Ji Hang interrupted, saying, "Let's do it next time!"
As they walked out of the restaurant, the sun was setting. Li Rongrong saw a lot of people gathered at the square not far away. Just as she was puzzled, she heard Yu Xiaoyi shouting, "Let's go and see what's happening! We have plenty of time."
Since Li Rongrong had nothing to do anyway, she looked at Ji Hang again and the group decided to check out the commotion. Because Yu Xiaoyi had gone first, Li Rongrong and Ji Hang happened to be walking together. Just as they approached the crowd, a staff member pulled them and said, "We're short of one couple. Come over here!"
Li Rongrong was confused, but the person pulling them seemed to be a staff member. She looked around and discovered the source of the commotion. There was a couple's competition taking place.
Li Rongrong and Ji Hang were pushed into the group of couples. Just as she was about to explain, Ji Hang smiled and said, "Since we're already here, let's join in the fun. It seems interesting, and there's even a mysterious grand prize mentioned on that banner. Let's see how mysterious it is."
Yu Xiaoyi, standing nearby, cheered Li Rongrong on. If there were still spots available, she would have dragged a single guy to participate.
Li Rongrong still felt hesitant and found it all quite strange. However, when she saw the staff member pushing a claw machine toward them, her eyes lit up instantly. She loved playing with claw machines.
In the first round, the group that caught the most dolls within the stipulated time would get the higher score. Li Rongrong became excited, but she soon realized that her skills were lacking. It seemed that the less experienced she was, the more she enjoyed playing. With time running out, she grew a bit anxious and said, "Ji Hang, you give it a try."
Ji Hang's fair and slender hand held the control stick with ease, and his expression remained calm.
As Li Rongrong watched him effortlessly grab one doll after another, she was left speechless. "You're amazing! Do you have a secret technique?"
Ji Hang chuckled and replied, "It's all about technique, haha. It's quite easy to learn. Let me teach you." He moved behind her and guided her on how to aim and when to press the button.
"I almost had it! Ah, just a little bit more!" Li Rongrong exclaimed with excitement, her face slightly flushed.
"You were a bit slow. Let me show you!" Ji Hang offered, placing his large hand over hers and gently guiding the control stick.
Finally, time ran out. Li Rongrong hugged a bunch of dolls and happily turned to Ji Hang. "It's all thanks to you!"
Ji Hang smiled and replied, "You're welcome."
There was no doubt that they had won this match. Next, the two of them stood out and became the winners of the competition!
The organizers also presented a mysterious grand prize. When Li Rongrong saw it, she was boiling with excitement! Not only Li Rongrong, but Yu Xiaoyi was also crying out in regret. If she had known earlier, she would have pulled someone over to join in the fun.
"Is it a concert ticket for Jin Lang?" Li Rongrong's eyes lit up.
Ji Hang raised an eyebrow. "Do you like him?"
"Yes! He's my idol. He sings incredibly well, and his concert tickets are always in high demand, and the confidentiality was especially good! It was a pity that he never showed his face. Finally, I can see him in person!" Li Rongrong cherished the ticket like a treasure.
"If you like him that much, will you go tomorrow?" Ji Hang casually played with the ticket in his hand.
"Of course! It's such a rare opportunity. I feel like I've hit the jackpot. I could never get tickets before, but now I have the chance. However, this shop is too powerful." Li Rongrong's eyes were filled with joy. She felt that this trip was completely worth it.
Ji Hang smiled, his eyes shimmering.
By now, it was late in the evening, and Yu Xiaoyi had taken a car home. Ji Hang insisted on escorting Li Rongrong back to her dormitory. They chatted along the way and quickly arrived downstairs.
"Are you also a student at our school? I've never heard of you before. According to the girls, you transferred here recently, right?" Li Rongrong held a bunch of plush toys and looked up at Ji Hang, who was radiant under the streetlights.
Ji Hang replied in a deep voice, "Tomorrow is the day." Without waiting for her response, he bid her farewell, "You should go upstairs, it's getting late."
