Chapter 40: Title

A playful relationship where a man and woman caught stuffed toys together was a classic scene in many idol dramas.

However, Gu Feng and Su Moying were not filming an idol drama, and the arcade owner did not treat them differently.

At first, Gu Feng wanted to win the biggest stuffed toy for Su Moying, but after failing too many times, he had to settle for a smaller one, claiming it was to try out his skills.

Although the smaller toys were also hard to catch, Gu Feng had many tokens to use. So, Gu Feng spent a whole half hour and almost used up all his tokens, managing to catch two small toys.

Gu Feng handed a little turtle and a small dog toy, which he had caught with much effort, to Su Moying and said, "Moying, this is for you. Didn’t you say you wanted that big rabbit? I still have plenty of coins left, I will go exchange some more."

Su Moying took the two toys and paused, looking at Gu Feng. In the end, she couldn’t help but say, "Brother Gu Feng, these two are really nice; I like them a lot. I was just joking; I didn’t mean I had to have that rabbit."

Gu Feng said firmly, "Moying, I will definitely keep my promise to you. Wait for me, I will exchange two hundred coins right now."

After saying that, Gu Feng walked toward the counter without waiting for Su Moying to respond.

Su Moying stood there, feeling a bit lost.

Brother Gu Feng was so kind to her; no one had ever cared about what she wanted like this, and it made her feel surprised.

But when Gu Feng asked her which one was cute, she had truly just pointed randomly. Compared to standing there watching Gu Feng try to get that big toy, she actually wished to use this time to do something else.

Watching Gu Feng’s figure in the distance, Su Moying denied her own thoughts.

No, Brother Gu Feng was so good to her; how could she think like that?

Soon, Gu Feng returned and spoke to Su Moying in a soothing tone, "Moying, don’t worry. I will do my best to get you whatever you want."

Su Moying managed a forced smile, "Thank you, Brother Gu Feng."

Gu Feng nodded and turned to continue trying for the biggest toy.

Compared to the other dolls, the claw of this machine, which held the rabbit toy, was twice as big, but its grip was very weak. Each time, Gu Feng either missed or watched helplessly as the toy was lifted only to fall back down.

As he saw half of his newly exchanged two hundred game coins spent, Gu Feng still had nothing to show for it.

Gu Feng was actually feeling impatient; he had never played this game before and didn’t expect it to be so hard. But he had promised Su Moying, and it would look bad to give up now.

So, Gu Feng took a deep breath and decided not to give up. What if he spent all six thousand yuan and still couldn’t get this one toy?

"Gu Feng, are you still trying to win a toy?" a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Gu Feng immediately turned around without thinking and said, "Song Yutian, what are you doing here?"

Song Yutian raised an eyebrow and said, "What’s wrong? Who said I can’t come?"

Gu Feng immediately replied, "Moying and I were having fun. Don’t even think about interrupting us."

Song Yutian looked at Gu Feng and then at Su Moying, who was standing with two dolls, and said, "Really? You’ve been here for so long catching dolls, and Moying has just been standing there. If it were me, I wouldn’t be happy; I’d be bored to death."

"You—" Gu Feng was taken aback, and a part of him knew that Song Yutian had a point.

But Gu Feng quickly retorted, "Moying isn’t like you!"

Song Yutian chuckled lightly, "You’re right, Moying is kinder than I am, so she wouldn’t want to tell you."

Gu Feng said, "Moying wouldn’t—"

Halfway through his sentence, Gu Feng suddenly realized that the person they were discussing was right there. So he looked at Su Moying.

From the moment Song Yutian and Gu Feng met, it seemed like an odd energy had formed between them, leaving Gong Yu and Su Moying unable to join the conversation.

At that moment, when Gu Feng suddenly looked at her, Su Moying seemed a bit flustered. She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Gong Yu finally found a chance to speak, "Brother Feng, are you trying to catch that rabbit toy for Moying?"

Gong Yu’s voice helped Gu Feng calm down a bit. Gu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it’s a bit tricky, so I’m still trying."

Gong Yu replied, "I see, it’s really hard to catch something this big, no wonder Brother Feng has been at it for a while."

Gu Feng looked at Gong Yu with agreement and said, "Yes, but as long as Moying likes it, it’s worth it."

After saying this, Gu Feng deliberately glanced at Song Yutian.

At that moment, Su Moying finally spoke her first words, "Brother Gu Feng, actually, I don’t really want that…"

As Su Moying spoke, her voice grew weaker, and by the end of her words, it was almost too soft to hear.

Gu Feng didn’t quite catch it, so he said, "Moying, don’t worry. I’ve got the hang of it, and I’ll get it soon."

Su Moying hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Song Yutian suddenly said, "I will go to the front desk."

Gu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Song Yutian’s back and smirked, "Does she really think that just by coming here it will work?"

Gong Yu chimed in, "Yes, and I heard that these claw machines have a guarantee. Brother Feng has tried so many times, he should have caught something by now."

The two of them were in agreement, saying everything they could. In the end, whether Song Yutian could catch anything or not, they would have their reasons.

However, a minute later, Song Yutian returned. Not only that, but she was holding something—

A bunny toy?

The other three looked at the toy in Song Yutian’s hands, all stunned.

Su Moying was the first to say, "Sister Yutian, you… you’re amazing."

Gu Feng was the second to react, "Song Yutian, where did you get that from?"

Gong Yu was the third to speak, "Yutian, did you buy one?"

Song Yutian calmly nodded, "Yes, when I came in, I saw this doll in the display case. I just asked the owner if it was for sale, and I bought one."

Su Moying looked like she was hearing this for the first time, her tone was a bit curious, "So it can be like that?"

Gong Yu looked like he wanted to say something but held back.

Song Yutian handed the doll in her hand to Gu Feng, "Can you hold this for Moying, please?"

Gu Feng instinctively took it, then finally reacted, "Song Yutian, what does this even mean?"

Song Yutian asked, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Feng gritted his teeth, "Don’t you know, Song Yutian? It’s not about the doll; it’s about the experience! Do you understand?"

Song Yutian retorted, "What experience? Oh, do you mean when you were busy catching dolls by yourself and left Moying standing here for almost an hour?"

Gu Feng said, "Of course not!"

Song Yutian asked, "Then tell me, what is the important process?"

Gu Feng was momentarily speechless, then suddenly seemed to think of something. So, instead of answering Song Yutian’s question, he asked, "How do you know Moying waited for almost an hour?"

He clearly had never mentioned how long he actually spent at the claw machine.

Song Yutian didn’t bring up Su Moying’s comments in the group. She observed for a moment, then pointed to the few small baskets next to Gu Feng and said, "You’ve already used up two baskets of game coins here, so it’s easy to guess."

Gu Feng wanted to argue with Song Yutian, thinking that didn’t mean much. But remembering how long he really took, he swallowed his words.

Gu Feng said, "Anyway, the key issue is not the doll at all. Why did you have to buy it directly?"

Song Yutian sneered, "Of course, it’s because I think you should take Moying to do something she actually enjoys instead of staying here and satisfying only yourself."

Perhaps Song Yutian’s words were too straightforward, and Gu Feng couldn’t find a way to argue back.

So, Gu Feng stayed silent.

At that moment, the photographer gave Gu Feng a close-up shot: the man stood there, looking a bit lost, and even seemed a little… pitiful.

This was the first time Gu Feng had shown such an expression on the show.

Immediately, some viewers even felt for him, especially some soft-hearted young viewers.

[Gu Feng looks so uncomfortable, it makes my heart ache.]

[Did Song Yutian go too far? Gu Feng likes Moying too!]

[Aww, why is it like this? Mr. Gu, look at me! I’m willing! I would stand here as long as it takes!]

But many other viewers stood on Song Yutian’s side.

[Sister Song is absolutely right; the important thing is the process, but Moying wasn’t involved at all, and Gu Feng didn’t care about Moying’s feelings at all.]

[Sister Song said it well! No objections!]

[Yes, wasn’t Gu Feng just pleasing himself? I can see that Moying wasn’t very happy.]

[I have always felt that Gu Feng is very self-centered; he was like this even when he was shooting hoops!]

Two groups of viewers held different opinions, and for a moment, no one could convince anyone else.

After a moment, Gu Feng first looked at Su Moying, then at Song Yutian, and then back at Su Moying. Finally, his lips moved, as if he was about to say something.

But Gong Yu just happened to speak at that moment.

Gong Yu said, "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that. Since the four of us happened to meet, why don’t we play something together?"

The words he was about to say were interrupted, and Gu Feng seemed to suddenly lose his energy. He pulled back his gaze from Su Moying, looked away, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay."

Hearing Gu Feng agree, Gong Yu asked again, "Yutian, Moying, what do you think?"

Song Yutian nodded, "I’m fine with anything."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Feng did not immediately disagree, which meant he had at least listened to some of it; she hadn’t spoken in vain.

Song Yutian did not expect that one sentence would change Gu Feng; she just hoped that her words would make him rethink his attitude towards Su Moying.

Su Moying also said, "I’m okay too, Brother Gong Yu."

It was rare for the two girls present to agree with his suggestion, so Gong Yu smiled slightly and asked, "Moying, where do you want to go?"

Hearing Gong Yu’s question, Su Moying was unsure how to answer and felt a bit flustered, "I…"

She instinctively looked at Song Yutian.

Song Yutian smiled and nodded at Su Moying, "Moying, whatever you want to play, I will join you."

Song Yutian’s words made Su Moying feel a little more at ease, but she still wasn’t sure how to respond. From the very beginning, she and Gu Feng had always followed his decisions about where to go.

Seeing that Su Moying was silent, Song Yutian asked, "Moying, don’t you like to dance? How about we go check out the dance machine?"

Upon hearing this, Su Moying immediately looked at Gu Feng.

However, Gu Feng acted as if he hadn’t heard and said nothing at all.

Gong Yu asked from nearby, "Brother Feng, what do you think?"

Su Moying’s heart skipped a beat again.

Gu Feng only glanced at Gong Yu and replied somewhat coldly, "Sure."

Su Moying widened her eyes.

Only when Su Moying and Song Yutian stepped onto the dance machine together did Su Moying finally believe that Gu Feng really had no intention of stopping her.

The two chose the duet mode. Song Yutian hadn’t heard many of the songs on the dance machine, so she let Su Moying choose the music.

Su Moying thought for a moment and picked a song that was easier to dance to.

The music began.

Su Moying usually didn’t have many chances to play these games, so she was a bit clumsy at first. But during her time on a talent show, her dancing skills had always been among the top ranks, and soon, she got used to the rhythm of the song.

Facing the unfamiliar tune, Song Yutian also took a moment to adjust. However, in the past, whenever she came to places like this with friends, she would always be cheered on to dance. And she never backed down, often drawing a big crowd of onlookers.

Thus, the two of them moved in perfect harmony, starting with a few mistakes but soon getting into the groove.

The two girls on the dance machine had one with long, flowing hair and the other with two cute pigtails. One wore a tank top with long pants, while the other was dressed in a shirt and a plaid skirt.

Their styles and vibes were completely different, but both radiated charm.

Soon, a large crowd of passersby gathered around, and many people raised their phones to record.

For the final pose, the two turned around at the same time , each raising one hand and touching their fingertips together.

When the music stopped, they looked at each other and smiled simultaneously.

Gong Yu had just been watching Su Moying and Song Yutian dance, quietly comparing them in his heart. Then he realized that both had their own charm, and he couldn’t say who looked better.

Gu Feng was also watching, but his heart was in turmoil.

He thought that seeing Su Moying dance in this situation would make him feel uncomfortable.

But strangely, when he saw Su Moying and Song Yutian looking at each other at the end, he felt that the scene was actually quite nice.

What Gu Feng found even harder to accept was that during the entire dance, he tried to focus only on Su Moying, but his gaze was constantly drawn to another woman.

This left him both puzzled and anxious.

After the show had been on air for a few days, the contestants gained more and more popularity, especially the already famous Su Moying. With a reminder from the staff, they moved away from the crowd after their performance to avoid being recognized and surrounded during recordings.

When they reached a less crowded place, the excitement on Su Moying’s face still hadn’t faded. She excitedly said to Song Yutian, "Sister Yutian! Did you see that? Our rating just now was S!"

Song Yutian smiled and said, "Yes, that’s because you did great."

Su Moying shook her head. "No, it was you! Sister Yutian, have you ever learned to dance?"

Song Yutian thought for a moment and replied, "I guess so."

Su Moying, not noticing Song Yutian’s hesitation, happily said, "That’s wonderful! I want to dance with you, I mean, really dance! How about it?"

Song Yutian was also caught up in Su Moying’s excitement and nodded with a smile. "Sure!"

[Wow, I’m so excited! I want to see two beautiful girls dance together again!]

[Both of them looked so beautiful just now! I didn’t know who to watch.]

[I feel like Moying and Sister Song should form a duo.]

Su Moying and Song Yutian continued chatting excitedly, while the two men nearby couldn’t join the conversation.

Once Su Moying calmed down a bit, she remembered that Gu Feng and Gong Yu were still beside her. She suddenly felt a bit worried and glanced at Gu Feng secretly.

But Gu Feng’s gaze seemed to be looking somewhere else. It appeared as if he was staring ahead, but there was clearly nothing there.

Su Moying couldn’t figure out what Gu Feng was thinking. After the previous excitement faded away, a feeling of panic swept over her once again. Her smile gradually disappeared.

At that moment, Gong Yu pointed ahead and said, "There’s a basketball machine over there; do you want to play? By the way—"

Gong Yu suddenly turned his head and said eagerly, "How about we have a team competition? What do you think?"

After saying that, Gong Yu seemed quite pleased with his idea and looked hopefully at the others.
