I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Jiang Chen stared wide-eyed at Su Qing, who had suddenly appeared beside him.

He looked Su Qing up and down, his expression as colorful as a palette.

The Su Qing before my eyes was completely different from the top socialite in the provincial capital who drove a pink G-Wagon, wore Chanel haute couture, and exuded an aura of "I'm expensive."

She pulled out a classic red and green floral cotton-padded coat from somewhere and casually put it on.

The striking color scheme, far from making her look tacky, was instead given a trendy vibe by her delicate and radiant face and fair skin, making her look like she was walking the runway at Paris Fashion Week.

She also carefully braided her beautiful long, wavy hair into two jet-black braids, which hung down in front of her chest and swayed with her movements, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw her "country girl" outfit.

"Miss Su, what are you doing...?"

Jiang Chen pointed at the thick cotton-padded coat she was wearing and almost burst out laughing.

"Which village did you just flee from during the famine? Or are you planning to go straight on stage and sing a folk opera?"

Instead of getting angry at his undisguised mockery, Su Qing puffed out her chest triumphantly, spun around in place, and showed off her new look.

She reached out her finger and gently tapped Jiang Chen's forehead, giving him a charmingly disdainful eye roll.

"Hmph, what do you know!"

Su Qing proudly raised her chin.

"That's called 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'! Didn't you see those foreign friends over there almost setting their white coats on fire just to get a grilled sausage? I'm the most stylish guy here today!"

Jiang Chen was amused by her absurd reasoning and could only helplessly shrug.

"Okay, okay, you're the most beautiful, you're the most fashionable."

"Let's go, you coolest guy, aren't we going shopping?"

Su Qing grabbed Jiang Chen's arm and, like a happy little bird, pulled him into the most bustling crowd.

"Come on! I'll treat you to grilled gluten! The kind that's three skewers for ten yuan!"

The two of them squeezed into the bustling, crowded flow of people.

Su Qing completely let loose and embraced her true self.

She completely abandoned any airs of being the top socialite in the provincial capital, acting like a child visiting the city for the first time, full of curiosity about everything.

Holding a string of candied hawthorns covered in sugar frosting in her left hand, she ate them with a satisfying crunch.

He snatched another skewer of grilled gluten sprinkled with cumin and chili powder with his right hand, eating it with his mouth full of oil and red sauce sticking to the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Chen followed behind her like a dutiful follower, carrying the strawberry-flavored cotton candy he had just bought and a glass of freshly squeezed sugarcane juice for her, with a doting smile on his face that he himself did not realize.

As the two strolled around, they were drawn by a series of loud cheers and applause, and before they knew it, they had arrived at a huge stall surrounded by layers of people.

This is a ring toss game stall.

But this stall is different from the ordinary ring toss stall.

The booth was huge, taking up almost half of a basketball court.

The ground was densely covered with all kinds of prizes, from plush toys and plastic water guns at the front, to rice cookers and pressure cookers in the middle, and then to LCD TVs and the latest Apple mobile phones at the back. There was a dazzling array of prizes.

The most eye-catching item was the grand prize, which was placed at the very back, in the furthest row.

It was a giant golden pig made of pure gold, the size of a basketball!

That golden pig, with its endearing and exquisite carving, shimmered with a dazzling golden light in the sunlight, so bright it could blind people from a distance.

The stall owner was a bald, obese man with a bloated belly, wearing a gold chain as thick as a finger around his neck. He was holding a large megaphone and shouting at the top of his lungs:

Hey! Don't miss out!

"Fifty dollars for ten rings! Ring whatever you get and take it home!"

"A giant golden pig! A giant golden pig made entirely of gold! It's waiting for someone destined to take it home!"

Su Qing's eyes were instantly drawn to the glittering golden pig.

"Wow! Jiang Chen! Look at that pig! It's so cute!"

Her eyes lit up, and she pulled Jiang Chen into the crowd.

Forget about being reserved, she pulled a red fifty-yuan note from her small handbag and slammed it boldly onto the stall owner's table.

"Boss! Ten laps, please!"

When the bald, fat shopkeeper saw a beautiful VIP customer arrive, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and he quickly handed her a bamboo ring as thick as a forearm.

Su Qing, holding a bamboo ring, stood outside the line and excitedly began throwing it.

She imitated the person next to her, aimed, turned to the side, and swung it forcefully!

The bamboo hoop traced a crooked arc in the air and landed with a "thud" right next to the feet of the first plastic bear, without even touching a hair.

"oops!"

Su Qing, refusing to believe it, threw out a second one.

This time, he used too much force and flew straight over all the prizes, landing in the open space behind them.

The third one, the fourth one...

Su Qing threw nine rings, but she couldn't even touch the big golden pig at the back, let alone the plush toy that was closest to her and looked the easiest to catch.

She was so angry that she puffed out her cheeks and kept stomping her feet.

Amidst the surrounding crowd watching the spectacle, bursts of good-natured laughter erupted.

Jiang Chen looked at her cute, puffed-up face, both clumsy and playful, and shook his head with a smile.

He took the last bamboo ring from Su Qing's hand.

"Watch me."

Su Qing pouted and handed him the ring, looking unconvinced.

"Hmph, come on then, you can't catch me anyway."

The bald, fat stall owner, glancing sideways and disdainfully curling his lip, said in a tone of someone who had been through it all, with a cigarette dangling from his lips:

"Young man, I advise you not to waste your energy. That giant golden pig is a full five meters away! Do you think you're Li Xunhuan, the Flying Dagger Master, never missing your target?"

Jiang Chen completely ignored his sarcasm.

He weighed the ordinary bamboo ring in his hand, feeling its weight and balance.

He didn't even make a aiming motion.

Just when everyone thought he was going to give up.

Jiang Chen's wrist suddenly jerked!

The bamboo hoop seemed to come alive as it flew out of my hand!

It drew an extremely smooth and beautiful parabola in the air, flying straight towards the farthest golden pig without deviating from its course!

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

All eyes were on that small bamboo circle.

In full view of everyone.

"Clatter".

A crisp and melodious sound.

That bamboo ring, steady and perfectly aligned, fit snugly and perfectly...

It was placed on the high-upturned nose of that solid gold pig!

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous roar of cheers and applause erupted!

"Holy crap! I got it!"

"Wow! This guy must be a god!"

"Five meters away! A perfect shot! There are hidden masters among ordinary people!"

The bald, fat boss who had just been mocking Jiang Chen had half a cigarette dangling from his mouth fall onto his foot with a "thud," but he was completely unaware of it.

His eyes widened like saucers, his mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg, and the color drained from his face instantly, turning his entire face green.

The next second, he let out a heart-wrenching wail, rushed forward, grabbed Jiang Chen's leg, and cried out with a mournful face:

"Oh my god! My dear brother!"

"That's my prized possession, which I bought from a jewelry store for 30,000 yuan!"

"If you really manage to trick me, all my work will have been for nothing! I'll even lose my savings for my future wife!"

Jiang Chen completely ignored the boss who was acting like a drama queen.

He walked straight over, and amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the crowd, picked up the heavy golden pig and casually stuffed it into the arms of Su Qing, who was already dumbfounded.

Then, he took Su Qing's hand and, amidst the background noise of the boss's wailing and the cheers of the surrounding crowd, strode away.
