Chapter 54: Chapter 49: Qi Xingzhou is Her Lucky Star Chapter 54: Chapter 49: Qi Xingzhou is Her Lucky Star

Jiang Ning had studied at University A for four years, and had cto understand the surrounding area of the

school quite well. Qi Xingzhou seldom went out, so the number of times he considered going shopping was even

rarer.

Jiang Ning walked slowly along the street with Qi Xingzhou, her gaze sweeping the shops on either side of the

road, searching for anything fun around.

As they passed by a claw machine, Jiang Ning stopped and asked Qi Xingzhou with a smile, “Did you really like

the Small Night Lamp | gave you the other day?”

Qi Xingzhou had been holding onto the hem of Jiang Ning’s clothes, staying close to her body. When Jiang Ning

paused, he also stopped.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s voice, Qi Xingzhou hesitated for a moment before reaching into his bag and pulling

something out.

Looking at it, Jiang Ning was surprised to see that it was the very Small Night Lamp she had given him in the

elevator before.

Ji Shuang had mentioned several times during Jiang Ning’s last visit to the Qi Family that Qi Xingzhou carried the

Small Night Lamp she had given him wherever he went, even placing it on the dining table while eating and not

allowing anyone else to touch it.

At the time, Jiang Ning had thought Ji Shuang might have been exaggerating a little. Now seeing Qi Xingzhou

bring the Small Night Lamp out with him... did he really like it that much?

Jiang Ning’s gaze fell on the Small Night Lamp resting quietly in his palm. The lamp, which was actually just a

few dozen yuan, had been a leftover prize from an event at the school. Jiang Ning had found it quite attractive,

and it was made of glass, so she had decided to buy one.

Usually, such delicate items tended to be more popular with girls. If Qi Xingzhou liked it that much... maybe he'd

also like those fluffy toys inside the claw machine?

Thinking this, Jiang Ning pulled Qi Xingzhou over to the claw machine.

She pointed to the cute and dumb-looking stuffed animals inside the machine and said to Qi Xingzhou, “Do you

like them? I'll try to win one for you.”

Qi Xingzhou's gaze settled on Jiang Ning’s outstretched hand, admiring her delicate and fair skin. Her fingers

were slender and pale, long and soft. Her nails were not manicured but cut neat and clean, showing a healthy

pink hue.

Seeing that Qi Xingzhou did not respond but kept staring at the claw machine, Jiang Ning took it as a sign that he

liked the toys inside. She took out her phone and scanned a code to buy sGCoins.

Jiang Ning hadn't played these types of games much before, and it was her first ttaking someone to play

claw machines.

She inserted over a dozen coins into the machine and failed each tdue to her lack of skill.

While Jiang Ning was attempting to win a toy, Qi Xingzhou finally turned his attention to something he wasn't

usually interested in.

Seeing Jiang Ning fail multiple times without becoming discouraged and continuing to insert GCoins, Qi

Xingzhou watched the wobbling claws in the machine, his expression thoughtful.

Noticing Qi Xingzhou's serious attention, Jiang Ning shifted slightly to the side and said to him, “Do you want to

have a try?”

“It’s very simple, | just dropped in sGCoins. Hold this... give it a light shake, and the claw inside will

swing. Then, catch one of the toys, carry it over to here... and then it’s ours,” Jiang Ning explained step by step.

Qi Xingzhou nodded and reached out to swing the little lever a few times. Then, Jiang Ning saw the claw, which

had been so limp in her hands, under Qi Xingzhou’s control, suddenly swing out and actually grab one of the

toys.

However, halfway through, the toy fell out of the claw.

Jiang Ning comforted Qi Xingzhou, “It’s okay, it's okay, there are still plenty of GCoins left; you can play a

few more times.”

Qi Xingzhou pursed his lips, his eyes darkening, as he proceeded to the next attempt.

on the second try; you're really lucky!

Receiving the praise, Qi Xingzhou’s face visibly brightened with joy, even his beautiful amber eyes sparkled.

He held onto the joystick and bent down to continue playing.
