Chapter 215: Catch Dolls and Chance Encounters (4K)

Chen Jingle finally changed out of the suit.

The old tailor said that some places needed to be modified.

It can be seen that he is a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder. To an outsider like Chen Jingle, the clothes obviously fit him very well.

But it suits him just fine.

It would be a bit awkward for him to walk on the street in such a formal suit.

Even though the weather has turned cooler now, you won’t sweat profusely.

Again, in Lingnan, few people wear formal clothes except for salespeople. Even if the quality is good, in the eyes of others, you are still a salesperson, at most a senior salesperson.

After changing back into his own clothes, Chen Jingle felt much more relaxed.

Only Li Beixing looked a little disappointed.

When Chen Jingle found out, he pinched her cheek and asked, "Why do you have that expression?"

Li Beixing snorted softly: "You don't seem to like wearing suits?"

Chen Jingle thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't like it, but it's not the right occasion. Can you imagine yourself wearing an evening gown and returning to the village to attend the wedding banquet of relatives and friends?"

Li Beixing imagined the scene and laughed out loud.

It is indeed not suitable.

If she were to dress like that, she would probably have a new nickname even before the next day, such as "the peacock from XX's house".

"Okay, then don't wear it if you don't want to." Li Beixing was convinced.

It's just inevitable that there are some regrets.

The next time I want to see Chen Jingle wearing this, I guess it’ll be after he gets married.

marry? !
Thinking of this, Li Beixing was a little dazed. When he came to his senses, his face turned slightly red.

Chen Jingle thought she was still a little unwilling, so he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "If you like it so much, I'll wear it for you in private later."

Li Beixing's ears suddenly turned red and he didn't dare to look up at him.

Hey Hey hey!
Why make such a serious matter so ambiguous?

If you don’t know, you might think I asked you to wear something shameful!
Upon seeing this, Chen Jingle immediately smiled as if he had succeeded in playing a prank.

It’s quite fun to tease Teacher Li occasionally.

……

Chen Jingle was walking in the mall with one hand full of bags and the other holding Li Beixing's hand.

Passersby looked at each other in different ways, some in amazement, some in envy, and some in jealousy.

Chen Jingle has gotten used to it.

Just look, it won't hurt you, your eyes are on other people, just don't do anything excessive.

Who makes them look better than others?

The entire Baida shopping mall has five floors. In addition to the top floor which is a cinema, there are many stores to visit.

I basically visited the clothing stores on the fourth and third floors. The second floor was mainly for dining and leisure entertainment, the first floor had various counters, and the underground floor was a supermarket.

Chen Jingle is not very interested in watching movies. He hasn't watched any movies or TV for a long time. In recent years, except for the occasional slightly eye-catching domestic film and television works, the rest are all small fry.

Besides, watching a movie alone is a bit boring, and watching a movie with someone else is a bit of a waste of time.

For a date, watching a movie is not a good choice because there is a lack of interaction. It is better to just walk on the street or visit the park.

As I walked, I reached the second floor.

There is a large billiard hall on the second floor of the mall.

Chen Jingle took a look and felt a little curious.

It was open for business and there were quite a lot of people there. The key point was that a large number of them were women, and they were beautiful women who were well-dressed.

I don't know when it started, but a trend of having sparring partners for billiards has swept through the billiard halls. The key point is that these sparring partners are all women, each one more beautiful than the other, and they all wear low-cut hip skirts.

I can't help but wonder: Is this billiard ball serious?
"What are you looking at?" Li Beixing asked curiously.

Chen Jingle shook his head: "No, I'm just curious about why things like billiard halls haven't been eliminated yet?"

Li Beixing didn't take it seriously at first, but after taking a look, he immediately realized something was wrong and glared at him: "You are not allowed to go!"

Chen Jingle quickly shook his head: "I'm not interested in billiards!"

Li Beixing was about to express his satisfaction, but after thinking about it carefully, something was wrong!

"What about the pool babe?"

Chen Jingle hesitated for a moment and said, "It depends on what kind of silk she is wearing."

Li Beixing laughed angrily, grabbed his arm and punched him twice: "I asked you to think about other people's silk, is it that mine is not good-looking?"

Chen Jingle lowered his head: "You're not wearing anything either!"

Li Beixing's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed. He snorted heavily and didn't want to pay attention to this guy.

Chen Jing laughed happily.

Sometimes lovers need to be a bit servile. To describe it in professional terms, it is called stirring up emotions.

It can also be simply understood as adjusting the weather.

Of course, we have to strike a balance, otherwise it may easily lead to fatalities.

At the same time, make sure that the other person really likes you.

"There are advantages to being dressed and there are advantages to being naked." Chen Jingle said in a low voice with a smile.

Li Beixing covered his ears directly.

Don't listen, don't listen!

Stinking rogue!
The more she acted like this, the more Chen Jingle wanted to tease her.

Eh hey!

Speaking of which, Li Beixing usually presents herself as a gentle and royal sister in front of outsiders, but in front of Chen Jingle, she is more often a coquettish and sweet girl.

Although sweet girls are also good, Chen Jingle wants a mature woman more.

When will Li Beixing show her domineering side?

Usually it only happens in public places with many people, and it also depends on her own thoughts.

Whenever there are fewer people around and Chen Jingle is around, she will show her charming side.

Chen Jingle felt that she had some image baggage.

……

"There's a claw machine! Do you want to play?"

Chen Jingle pointed to the arcade area next to the billiard hall and said.

Li Beixing snorted and turned his head away, not wanting to pay any attention to him.

"Come on, go on, let me catch you a doll!"

Chen Jingle dragged Li Beixing's hand and walked towards the claw machine area.

Although Li Beixing looked very reluctant, his body was still very honest and he did not struggle or resist at all.

Chen Jingle bought 100 coins.

For children, the activity of catching dolls may be a bit childish, but it is just right for adults.

I remember that there was a time when the activity of catching dolls was popular all over the country. At that time, there were claw machines in the streets and alleys, and almost all places with high traffic.

Including but not limited to shopping malls, cinemas, schools, subway stations, etc.

However, this craze came and went quickly. The money was too easy to make, and there were no barriers to entry, so a large number of people flocked into this industry. After the market was saturated, only a mess was left.

There are fewer people playing this now.

Catching dolls actually involves a certain degree of probability, and those who understand probability will understand.

It's legal and a little exciting.

It is very suitable for a rookie like Chen Jingle who doesn't even dare to ride a roller coaster.

From a psychological perspective, the hobby of catching dolls is called the Cupid Doll Effect, which Chen Jingle just learned a while ago. It originally means that babies stimulate adults' desire to care and protect them because of their cute appearance.

Cute dolls also have this attribute.

"Which one do you want to catch?" Chen Jingle asked. Li Beixing looked around and didn't see anything he particularly liked, so he finally said, "How about catching a Minion? Help me catch a Dave."

"Which one is Dave?" Chen Jingle wondered.

Although he had seen "Despicable Me", the only way he could tell these little yellow creatures apart was by looking at the difference between one eye and two eyes, and they all looked the same.

Li Beixing had no choice but to say, "The one with the middle part."

Middle part?

He only knew one person with a middle-parted hairstyle.

That’s right, it’s Captain Jia!

"You come, come." After Chen Jingle put in the coins, he gave the operating position to her.

Li Beixing hadn’t played this many times, and he wasn’t very good at it. After failing several times in a row, he became a little discouraged: “You should do it.”

Chen Jingle comforted him, "It's okay, just keep grabbing. It's not your fault, it's the machine program that is set up like this. It must fail a certain number of times before the mechanical claw will become stronger."

Meanwhile, continue to insert coins.

Li Beixing felt a little embarrassed, but still chose to listen to him.

It wasn't until the seventh time that I finally caught one.

"Wow~" Li Beixing was so excited that he was spinning around in circles holding the doll.

Chen Jingle looked at them with a smile and asked, "Who else do you want to catch?"

Li Beixing thought for a moment and said, "Come and catch one!"

"Row!"

Chen Jingle did not refuse.

He found a machine with Pikachu on it and started putting coins in it.

Li Beixing originally thought that he was not very interested in this, but it turned out that he was more excited than himself.

Seeing him yelling and laughing so hard that his mouth was almost stretched to his ears, Li Beixing couldn't help but ask, "Where did you promise to catch the doll for me? Why are you only focusing on your own fun?"

Forget it, forget it!

It doesn’t matter who catches it!
I spent 100 yuan and caught 5 in total, which means 20 yuan per piece on average. It can only be said to be a small loss.

But both of them had a lot of fun, so a small loss is equal to no loss, and no loss is a huge profit!
Seeing Chen Jingle's satisfied look, Li Beixing couldn't help but ask, "Do you like catching dolls so much?"

The last time we were playing trap dolls in the park, this guy looked nonchalant from beginning to end.

Tsk, you’re really good at pretending.

Chen Jingle laughed: "Actually, this is my first time playing."

"Ah?" Li Beixing was stunned.

Chen Jingle said: "Every time I went to the mall and saw claw machines, I wanted to play, but I was either short of money or embarrassed to play alone. You know, the owners of claw machines are very cunning and set the probability very low. Only after a lot of coins are put in, the grip of the mechanical claw will increase slightly, and you can catch a doll. Just like what happened just now. For me, it is not cost-effective to spend a day or even several days' meal money to exchange for a doll. In addition, it feels more embarrassing for a boy to catch a doll alone than to eat hot pot alone."

"Now..."

Chen Jingle held Li Beixing's hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for making my dream of catching dolls come true."

Li Beixing blinked: "Do you have to say thank you for this?"

"Of course. You may think it's a small matter, but for me, I have been thinking about it for a long time. And catching dolls with Teacher Li, two happy things overlapping together, naturally it is double the happiness!" Chen Jingle shook her little hand.

Li Beixing tilted his head and thought for a while: "Then, should we come here often in the future?"

Chen Jingle shook his head: "It's not necessary to come here specially to play. If you see some while passing by, you can just play with them. It's OK to catch one or two occasionally. If you catch too many, you won't be able to keep them at home."

As it is now, I already have a lot of things in my hands, and now I have five more dolls. Fortunately, they are not big, and Li Beixing helps me to carry some of them, otherwise it would take a lot of effort.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Li Beixing narrowed his eyes and smiled.

In fact, it’s not just girls who like dolls, boys do too. If a doll is given by their girlfriend, they’ll probably be happier.

When she visited Chen Jingle's home before, she saw the cinnamon dog that she had given to Chen Jingle before, hanging on the perforated board in the e-sports room, within reach.

It can be seen that Chen Jingle likes the little doll very much.

……

At the same time, at the entrance of Baida Shopping Mall.

"Xiu Xiu! Here!"

As soon as Chen Xiuyun walked into the mall, she heard someone calling her. She subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice and saw her good friend Lin Cuiyun pushing a baby stroller and waving at her.

“Cui Cui~!”

Chen Xiuyun smiled and waved in response, then hurried over.

After approaching, Chen Xiuyun first smiled and teased the baby in the stroller. The baby looked so adorable.

Then he stood up and looked at Lin Cuiyun, frowning and asking, "Why do you look so bad?"

Lin Cuiyun smiled helplessly: "Taking care of a child is like this. I often have to get up in the middle of the night to make milk powder and change diapers for her."

"You're taking care of the baby by yourself?"

"What else? Dongpeng has to work and has no time to go home."

"Don't their airlines allow them to work four days and have two days off? Why don't you come back during the holidays?" Chen Xiuyun frowned.

An unnatural look flashed across Lin Cuiyun's face.

Chen Xiuyun was a little angry: "Where is your mother-in-law? She doesn't care?"

Lin Cuiyun shook her head: "She is old, how can I let her take care of the child for me in the middle of the night."

"What about during the day? You don't help take care of the baby during the day?" Chen Xiuyun was puzzled.

Lin Cuiyun remained silent.

Chen Xiuyun sighed and held her forehead, what a silly girl.

She didn't think highly of Zhao Dongpeng at the beginning. Although they were high school classmates, after three years of contact, she had already seen clearly what kind of person he was.

But Lin Cuiyun's heart was set on the other party. The two had been dating since junior high school and had been dating for so many years, and in the end, she got pregnant before marriage.

The results of it?
That bastard Zhao Dongpeng didn't want to take responsibility and wanted Lin Cuiyun to abort the child and then break up.

When Chen Xiuyun heard the news, she was so furious that she wanted to slap Zhao Dongpeng twice.

Naturally, Lin Cuiyun refused and insisted on giving birth to the child. As a result, after they got married, Zhao Dongpeng's attitude was not much better than before marriage. He even became worse and refused to go home during holidays.

Zhao Dongpeng's mother also didn't give Lin Cuiyun a good look because she gave birth to a daughter.

What a weird family!

Not only does he not want to take care of her, he is also unwilling to hire a nanny. You have to know that Zhao Dongpeng is now the co-pilot of China Eastern Airlines. I can’t say how much his income is, but it’s at least 300,000 or 400,000 yuan.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
Chen Xiuyun suppressed her anger and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's not talk about them. Come on, I'll go shopping with you first!"

She hadn't seen Lin Cuiyun and the baby for a while, so it was a good opportunity to give Xiaobao a gift.

Take a look first and see what's suitable to buy.

……

The second floor at this time.

Li Beixing, who had just finished catching the doll, said, "Wait here, I'm going to the bathroom."

"okay."

So Chen Jingle found a chair to sit down, put his bags and other things at his feet, and took out his mobile phone to check the news.

"What's your relationship with that beautiful lady?"

Suddenly a familiar voice came to my ears.

Chen Jingle turned around suddenly and saw Chen Xiuyun standing behind him, grinning. There was another girl pushing a stroller next to her, looking at Chen Jingle with curiosity and a little embarrassment.

"Why are you here?!"

Chen Jingle was shocked and a little unnatural.

Chen Xiuyun smiled and said, "Why can't I be here? Why, are you scared after I discovered your secret?"

"I'm not afraid of you!" Chen Jingle was speechless.

Chen Xiuyun chuckled: "Tell me quickly, what is your relationship with that beautiful woman just now?"
