Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　Next to the white one is black, which is also very exquisite, but not the only one; they are densely packed all over the claw machine.

　"Mmm! I want this, it's so cute, please get it out for me, Boss Bai!"

　Compared to the reserved nature of Easterners, Westerners are relatively more outgoing and will express their needs very directly when they want something.

　"Alright, then I'll show you my claw machine skills!"

　Seeing Lia clinging to his arm and acting coquettishly, and with her trusting eyes, Bai Yuan felt secretly pleased and patted his chest. He then pulled her hand and headed towards the toy store.

　Lia followed behind him like a little fangirl, silently watching him, her fair face full of anticipation.

　Bai Yuan stood confidently in front of the claw machine and dropped in a coin.

　Start operating the joystick.

　Leah stood there, holding her breath, her eyes fixed on the white puppy doll, which was located in the middle of the black puppies. To catch it, she would first have to clear out all the black puppies around it.

　On the first attempt, the claws gripped the doll precisely, but suddenly released it during the ascent, and the doll fell back to its original position.

　Bai Yuan frowned, while Liya let out a disappointed sigh.

　"Don't worry, this is just a warm-up."

　Bai Yuan comforted him, then inserted another coin.

　The second attempt also ended in failure. The third, the fourth... With each failure, Bai Yuan's brows furrowed, pondering when he would be able to trigger the guaranteed reward, while Liya's expression changed from anticipation to worry.

　"How about...we choose another one?"

　Leah whispered a suggestion, pointing to the black puppy plush toy next to her. "It's right next to the exit. You can grab it by pressing it down a little."

　Compared to the elusive white puppy, the black puppy is clearly easier to obtain.

　"If it doesn't work the first time, try ten times; if it doesn't work the ten times, try a hundred times. You'll eventually succeed. The important thing is that you like it; you don't need to compromise."

　Hearing Lia's understanding words, Bai Yuan patted her head, put the coin in again, and started a new round of claw machine games.

　This process lasted a long time. In the middle, three black ones were even pulled out, while the white one remained motionless in the middle. Gradually, people surrounded the two of them.

　Everyone is discussing when Bai Yuan will be able to catch the white puppy. Lia isn't the only one here who likes the white puppy.

　"It's moving! It'll be out soon!"

　Watching the white puppy rise and fall with the help of the hook, with no more obstacles around, Leah shouted excitedly.

　"I estimate I can pick it up in ten tries."

　"The probability of getting this machine is very low. The toys inside are all brand-name products. It will take at least twenty tries."

　“I said, once is enough.”

　After playing the claw machine for a long time, Bai Yuan has finally figured out the trick. He kept trying to touch the white puppy and finally managed to move it. It was no longer being held down by any of the toys. It was time to rescue it from the claw machine!

　"Once is enough..."

　Looking at the confident look of the man in front of her, Lia repeated it in disbelief. At this moment, Bai Yuan seemed to be shining in her eyes!

　"Go, Hook of Redemption!"

　Press your hand firmly on the button, and the hook will slowly descend.

　Bai Yuan shouted with great enthusiasm, partly because he had failed too many times, and partly because there were many people watching around, which ignited his passion!

　Boys' happiness is that simple.

　The hook in front of them landed on the white puppy under everyone's gaze, brushing past it, making their previous enthusiasm seem like a joke.

　however!

　Is that really the case?

　As the hook ascended, it seemed about to completely leave the pile of dolls. Just as the surrounding crowd showed disappointment and prepared to leave, the bottom of the hook, by sheer coincidence, snagged the edge of the white puppy's rope.

　"Holy crap, this works!"

　"Using a hook to suspend the doll's rope and then pulling the doll out along with it—is there really such a thing as playing with it? Or rather, is it even possible to do that!?"

　Was this also part of your plan?

　Boss Bai!

　Lia looked excitedly at the claw machine in front of her. The moment the doll fell out, she hugged Bai Yuan's head and leaned in to give him a big kiss.

　"Oh!"

　Seeing this, a chorus of cheers immediately rose from the crowd, while Bai Yuan enjoyed a sense of accomplishment and the pleasure of being kissed on the forehead by the girl.

　It's such a fun claw machine game!

　It was already 9 p.m. when they came out of the mall. Just as Bai Yuan was about to say goodbye to Liya and return to their hotel, Liya grabbed his sleeve and blinked her big, affectionate eyes.

　"Tomorrow is not my competition, but I want to practice cooking. Could you come to my hotel and stay with me? I can't improve on my own."

　Now that they've established a relationship and are boyfriend and girlfriend, letting Bai Yuan leave so easily would be too unfair to their relationship.

　"Please, please! I really want to improve!"

　Lia shook Bai Yuan's arm, speaking softly and coquettishly, while the vigorous movement also released a faint fragrance into her nose.

　The girl's affected manner really made Bai Yuan's heart itch.

　"Since you don't have a match tomorrow, I'll give you a massage to relax tonight."

　Thinking of Lia's delicate and petite feet, Bai Yuan couldn't help but swallow. Before the two of them were officially together, he couldn't forget them and often held them in his hands to play with. Now that the girl was being so proactive, it would be unreasonable for him to refuse.

　"Okay, I'm feeling a bit tired, especially my feet. I've been walking a lot lately, and they feel sore and swollen. I need to give them a good massage."

　Lia knew everything about Bai Yuan's personal preferences.

　This guy likes feet, but he doesn't show it. If it weren't for the fact that his hands lingered on his feet for too long, and the joyful excitement in his eyes during the massage—those are all subconscious reactions that are hard to hide—it would be impossible for anyone to tell.

　Find.

　"According to what you're saying, if your legs are sore and you can't walk during a competition, it will definitely have a significant impact. We must address the problem at its root."

　Thinking of this, Bai Yuan bent down and grabbed Liya's legs, which were tightly bound by white silk, and gently kneaded them in front of everyone.

　"My hotel is nearby, how about we get the massage when we get back? It's kind of embarrassing here..."

　Looking at Bai Yuan, who was somewhat out of control, Lia's heart raced. She then opened her arms in front of him, as if to give him a hug.

　In this position, all men would put down what they were doing, take the initiative to greet her, and embrace her as she 'longs for a hug'.

　Mom often uses this trick on Dad, and every time Dad can't resist. He carries Mom back to the room, and then it takes half an hour before he comes out again.

　The same is true today.

　Skin to skin, feeling the warmth of the embrace before her, Lia wearily buried her head in Bai Yuan's chest and whispered the way to the hotel.

　The distance from the street back to the hotel was only fifteen minutes, but the overwhelming happiness in her chest had already overwhelmed Leah's reason.

　In the past, she would never have enjoyed such treatment. Bai Yuan always had a cold and aloof demeanor, as if he didn't want to be disturbed, no matter who he was dealing with.

　I never expected there to be this side to it.

　The key opened the hotel door, and the two went inside. They closed and locked the door behind them, and then Bai Yuan put Liya on the bed.

　"shoe."

　Without saying much, Lydia, lying on the bed, raised her little feet, pointing her toes directly at Bai Yuan's nose. At this moment, her eyes were already glazed over, and her body felt tingly and numb, as if she had been electrocuted.

　"Okay, I'll help you take it off."

　Bai Yuan wasn't in much better shape either, but he still managed to sit on the bed and place Lia's white-stockinged feet on his lap.

　At this moment, Leah's legs were slightly bent, and she wore a pair of delicate light brown leather shoes with smooth surfaces, exuding an understated elegance.

　Bai Yuan gently held her ankle, feeling its jade-like warmth. His movements were gentle and slow, as if he were unwrapping a precious gift.

　His fingers gently rested on the shoe buckle, the metal buckle making a soft "click," and the shoelaces loosened. He supported her heel with one hand and slowly took off the shoe with the other.

　As the shoes left her feet, a faint scent of leather wafted out, mingling with the slight warmth of Leah's feet, making her heart race.

　She wore a pair of white stockings, the delicate material clinging to her skin and outlining the beautiful lines of her feet.

　He gently placed the shoes he had taken off aside, and his fingers inadvertently touched her toes. The stockings felt soft and smooth, with a slightly cool and delicate feel.

　Leah's toes curled slightly, and she unconsciously murmured "hmm," seemingly shy about his touch, yet also with a tacit understanding.

　"Relax, it might hurt for a moment, but you'll feel better soon."

　Feeling the girl's body temperature and seeing the blush on her face, Bai Yuan's voice was restrained, but one could clearly sense his excitement.

　"After hardship comes happiness, I know."

　Since it wasn't her first time experiencing it, Leah was already mentally prepared.

　At this moment, her gaze was fixed on Bai Yuan, and she saw a hint of madness in his eyes, which then revealed a satisfied expression.

　Anyway, as long as it makes him happy, that's all that matters.

　As long as Bai Yuan becomes infatuated with her and can never leave her again, she will never abandon him!

　Lia thought to herself that this was also why she wanted him to massage her feet; she wanted Bai Yuan to be completely inseparable from her.

　"This is a good spot, beautiful."

　Bai Yuan was completely unaware of Lia's little scheme; at that moment, his attention was entirely focused on the soft, white feet in front of him.

　As I watched, I marveled at the wonder of the Creator.

　Leah's arches curved gracefully, her toes were slender and well-proportioned, and the skin wrapped in white silk was faintly visible, revealing a hazy beauty.

　Perhaps because she was shy from being stared at, Leah's toes were bent very much, and she would occasionally stretch them out, making her look exceptionally cute.

　"If you're ready, I'll begin."

　As he spoke, Bai Yuan gently pressed the soles of her feet with his thumb, applying just the right amount of pressure to relieve her fatigue and provide a comfortable stimulation.

　Leah's feet ached from his massage, and she involuntarily gripped the blankets with both hands, letting out a muffled groan.

　However, she persevered and didn't utter a single cry of pain. These are all necessary experiences when massaging the feet; only after softening the stiff muscles can one feel comfortable.

　As time went by, Bai Yuan's fingers slowly moved upwards, mischievously pinching her toes and massaging them one by one.

　What can be clearly felt is that Leah's toes are round and small, like pearls, and the touch of the white silk covering them is soft and warm.

　His fingertips occasionally brushed against the back of her foot, sending a subtle shiver through her, and Leah's breathing became soft and long.

　"That's about enough, you should get some rest."

　By the end of the massage, Bai Yuan's eyes had cleared, but Liya couldn't take it anymore and sat up from the bed using only the strength of her waist.

　"It's not that you should rest early, it's that we should rest early."

　As Lia spoke, she pulled Bai Yuan down.

　·

　At dawn, as the sun rises...

　dawn.

　When Leah got out of bed, the sun was already high in the sky.

　Bai Yuan appeared in the room with fragrant meat buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks. The clothes that had been scattered around the room had been tidied up by him since he got up early and were now neatly arranged by the bed.

　"You're up! Come and have breakfast."

　"it is good."

　Leah stretched lazily and sweetly agreed. Last night's madness had left her exhausted, and she still couldn't straighten her back.

　Feeling the unusual pain, Lia looked at Bai Yuan with a hint of resentment.

　Although she could tell Bai Yuan was very powerful just by looking at his physique, she never expected him to be this fierce. It was simply beyond the ability of a weak woman like her to withstand.

　If Bai Yuan had noticed her subtle expression later and ended the fight on his own, it's uncertain whether she would be able to get out of bed now.

　It seems that all those girlfriends around Boss Bai are actually there to take care of him.

　Otherwise, one or two of them really wouldn't be able to handle Bai Yuan's formidable fighting power, and sooner or later they would break down.
