After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 313: Night Market Game Challenge

For some reason, seeing Li Muchen’s eyes turn slightly red made Lu Sheng’s heart grow even softer.

She knew how Li Muchen was feeling right now.

In the past ten years, no one had ever been this close to him.

He had never truly felt this hustle and bustle, this lively atmosphere of the human realm replete with the smell of life.

This kind of experience was alien to him.

Thinking about this, Lu Sheng felt a slight ache in her heart.

The existence of Li Muchen also made her more and more like a human, with more authentic emotions.

She started to feel that she appeared a bit too late.

If she had come to fifteen-year-old Li Muchen’s side ten years ago, he wouldn’t have had to be so lonely all by himself.

Unable to help herself, Lu Sheng hugged the man beside her and rubbed her head against his chest: "...What should I do, Li Muchen, this chicken wing is so delicious, so delicious I could cry."

Li Muchen held her tighter, his large hand stroking her hair.

Looking down, he said: "Then I will hire this stall owner to our house, and whenever you want to eat, just let him make it for you."

Lu Sheng looked up at him and suddenly laughed: "It seems Lan Yu was right, you really do seem like those overbearing CEOs from novels."

"I’m not like that." Li Muchen responded very formally upon hearing this.

"Oh?" Lu Sheng found it curious, "Could it be that you’ve read those overbearing CEO novels?"

"I haven’t, but Chen An often does."

"He told me that the CEOs in those novels would go out of their way for the female lead—literally giving their heart and kidneys, and easily engaging in changing hearts, stealing kidneys, cold violence, imprisonment, and so on."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Well, that’s quite something; not only does Chen An read overbearing CEO novels, but he also likes those old-school, dog-blood, abusive romance CEO stories.

"So I’m not like that," Li Muchen said seriously while hugging Lu Sheng, "I will never do anything to hurt you, never."

"Yes, I know."

Lu Sheng’s heart melted, she tiptoed and kissed Li Muchen with her lips still unwiped from the chicken wing, then took his hand, "Let’s go, let’s eat something else."

Every snack on Food Street was novel to Li Muchen.

For example, grilled cold noodles; Li Muchen didn’t know noodles could be grilled into pieces and eaten with chopped onions and sauce.

For instance, deep-fried ice cream; Li Muchen didn’t know ice cream could also be fried and eaten.

Or yogurt durian twists; Li Muchen couldn’t comprehend why these three seemingly unrelated things could be combined together.

And then there were spring roll turkey noodles – Li Muchen was already puzzled by the turkey noodles, let alone wrapping cooked noodles inside a spring roll.

However, no matter what, overall, Li Muchen’s verdict was that they were all delicious.

But Lu Sheng thought that Li Muchen didn’t actually know whether they were good or not.

Anyway, he was eating them for the first time, so he had no idea what bad taste was supposed to be like.

From the start of the street to the end, or more accurately, eating from the start to the end of the street, Lu Sheng finally met up with Lan Yu and Han Jing.

Lan Yu was clearly in high spirits from eating, her form-fitting school uniform blouse now visibly stretched due to her rounded belly as she sat resting on a bench at the end of the street.

Upon seeing Lu Sheng and Li Muchen approaching, Lan Yu immediately waved enthusiastically: "Shengsheng, I’m here! Hurry over!"

As soon as Lu Sheng walked over, Lan Yu pulled out her smartphone to show her and then spoke with great excitement.

"Look Shengsheng! I read online that there’s an event at the night market next door, and the first prize is a super beautiful plush cat!"

Lan Yu’s eyes sparkled as she clutched her face, "What to do, Shengsheng? Just from looking at the photo, I feel like I’ve fallen in love with this cat at first sight!"

Lu Sheng glanced at the picture on Lan Yu’s phone.

It was indeed a very pretty plush cat.

All over white with a hint of light grey, and a round head. A pair of deep blue, round eyes that looked like two embedded gems, and its ears tinged with a soft pink.

However, Lu Sheng already had Black Bean, so seeing other cats didn’t stir much feeling.

Or rather, she didn’t dare to feel too much; otherwise, she always felt as if she was betraying Black Bean waiting at home alone.

"That cat looks expensive, does the stall owner at the night market really dare to make such a costly gamble?" Lu Sheng inquired.

The plush cat seemed to have a market price of at least five thousand yuan.

It was common for night market events to have more expensive items as prizes to attract people, but a cat priced over five thousand seemed a bit too extravagant.

"It’s not exactly a loss for them, lots of people go there just for that cat, but it seems very difficult to win the first prize," Lan Yu began to explain.

"It’s couples’ challenge, but if passersby or friends want to win a prize, they can form a temporary couple. They split the cost and share the prize."

"Each couple only gets one chance, and they have to pass three consecutive rounds of games. By the fourth round, they need to meet certain standards to get first, second, third, and consolation prizes."

Lu Sheng asked, "What are the three games specifically?"

Lan Yu said, "The first round is a ring toss game, 30 yuan per try. The vendor will scatter those mini plush toys randomly around the booth, and one partner, blindfolded, tosses rings while the other gives directions. Tossing three out of ten rings successfully is considered passing the round."

"But just think about it, Shengsheng. It’s already hard to get rings on with your eyes open, let alone doing it blindfolded. If you get less than three but still manage to hook one or two, you can take those toys home."

"However, those little toys aren’t worth much, and just on this game alone, the vendor can make a lot of money from those thirty yuan fees every night."

Is that how the game is set up?

Lu Sheng actually became a bit interested and asked Lan Yu, "What about the second round?"

"The second round is the drawing and guessing game, also 30 yuan for each try."

"The vendor will prepare ten idioms, and one partner will gesture while the other guesses the meaning. Each word has a thirty-second time limit, and if you go over, you fail."

"Among the ten idioms, if you guess seven correctly, you can proceed to the next round, but if you get less than seven, you only get a consolation prize."

"So see, Shengsheng, it not only tests the couple’s understanding but also their knowledge of idioms and their reaction time."

"It seems simple, but it’s actually quite complicated, and the vendor can make a lot of money from it."

"Indeed," Lu Sheng nodded and continued to ask, "And what’s the third challenge?"

"The third challenge is..."

Whatever the third challenge was, Lu Sheng noticed Lan Yu’s cheeks suddenly turn red.
