Chapter 158 Get it if you want it
The two of them each occupied a shooting machine, and at the same time they started counting down for one minute. Murong Qiao immediately picked up the basketball next to him and started throwing it towards the basket.
She seemed to be aroused by Huo Yichen's words just now, and her movements never stopped. On the other hand, Huo Yichen's side took one standard shooting posture after another, like shooting a handsome three-pointer on the court.
Huo Yichen exerted force with his wrist, and knew the ball had scored without even looking, but his mind and eyes were not on the game in front of him.
He looked at Murong Qiao beside him, just in time to see the annoyed expression on the other side because he didn't throw in the basketball, and couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
A game ended quickly, and the final result was that Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen decided the winner with a limit of one point.
"As expected of me." Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows proudly seeing that he was one point higher than Huo Yichen.
It's just that she hasn't been immersed in the joy of victory for a long time, and she glimpsed other interesting items from the corner of her eyes.
"Huo Yichen, let's play that!"
For a whole afternoon, both Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen took the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of the video game city.
From the shooting at the beginning, to the racing car next to it, to the somatosensory roller coaster and VR game behind.
They even went to the claw machine and spent 50 game coins for a cute corgi doll.
"Is this a waste of money?" Murong Qiao looked at his partially empty bag of game coins, and then at the Corgi doll that hadn't been clamped out of the claw machine, and immediately doubted his technique of clamping dolls.
Huo Yichen stood aside and watched the whole process. Now that he heard Murong Qiao's skeptical words, he suppressed a smile and comforted Murong Qiao with a serious expression.
"You want so?" He looked at Murong Qiao whose cheeks were puffed up, and asked her softly.
Murong Qiao heard Huo Yichen's question, and looked at the corgi doll again.
If she really wanted it at the beginning, it is more like an obsession to ask for it now.
Murong Qiao has a feeling that he has spent so much game money on a doll that he didn't get out, and it would be a loss if he stopped.
She nodded heavily, and then dropped two game coins again like a gambler.
The game console started beeping again, announcing the start of the game.
Murong Qiao touched the joystick with his hand, looked at the corgi doll on the top, took a deep breath and stood there without moving.
"Get it if you want it." Huo Yichen's voice rang in his ears.
Then Murong Qiao felt his hand being held by Huo Yichen, and began to remotely control his claws.
The dangling paw instantly attracted her attention, leaving Murong Qiao with no time to care about the posture of Huo Yichen who was almost embracing herself in his arms behind him.
But Huo Yichen couldn't see the claws in his eyes, and his eyes were full of Murong Qiao's exquisite and beautiful profile.
Using the posture of the remote control, he turned his head slightly to look at Murong Qiao, his curled eyelashes were close at hand, from his perspective, he could even see the reflection in Murong Qiao's eyes, and his slightly red lips.
Murong Qiao's voice rang in his ears, and fell on his heart with a numb itching, which made Huo Yichen's heart turmoil.
Her skin was extremely white, with a texture like porcelain and jade, which made Huo Yichen subconsciously want to dye it with some bright colors.
Huo Yichen suddenly withdrew his gaze, and looked at the doll with extreme restraint. He was afraid that if he continued to look at it, the beauty in his mind would overwhelm his reason.
Under Huo Yichen's precise control, one end of the claw delicately hooked one of the doll's ears and brought it out.
Seeing the doll fall into the hole, Huo Yichen also let go of Murong Qiao's hand, and leaned over to help her take the doll out of the space below.
The dry and warm touch on the back of the hand disappeared, and Murong Qiao suddenly felt a little lost.
"You are so strong!" After getting the doll, Murong Qiao's eyes were shining, and she looked at Huo Yichen with admiration.
Seeing that Murong Qiao was so happy, Huo Yichen's mood brightened.
"How about going to a movie for relaxation?" he suggested.
After playing games all afternoon, I have almost exhausted my energy now.
"Okay, I remember a comedy recently..."
The two of them directly decided to watch the movie, so they went to the cinema.
At the end of the day, Huo Yichen also heaved a sigh of relief seeing the more and more frequent smiles on Murong Qiao's face.
Just don't be so unhappy.
"Thank you for being with me today." After the movie ended, Murong Qiao suddenly thanked Huo Yichen.
"May I ask what made you unhappy?" Huo Yichen's voice was soft, not offensive at all.
This would make the atmosphere between the two relaxed. After seeing Murong Qiao get out of his emotions, Huo Yichen raised his own question.
Murong Qiao stopped suddenly, looked up at Huo Yichen, and didn't answer immediately.
She quietly looked at Huo Yichen, observing the changes that had been happening to him.
"What about you?" Murong Qiao asked suddenly.
"Why did you become the young master of the Huo family?" She raised her head and looked straight at Huo Yichen.
Murong Qiao has always had this question in his mind, but he didn't say it to Huo Yichen until today.
"I was just a mistake made by the old man when he was young." Huo Yichen explained softly.
Seeing that Murong Qiao was curious about his experience, Huo Yichen also explained a little bit.
He was born when the old man had a romantic relationship with his mother when he was young. Later, he and his mother hid in XZ and temporarily lived in Anshi.
"As you can see, my mother had just passed away at that time. After you left, people from the Huo family found me and asked me to go back and inherit the family business."
Speaking of this, Huo Yichen smiled ironically again.
"Of course, he was able to find me because his original son died unexpectedly." If not, how could such a good thing happen to Huo Yichen?
But it is not always a good thing, and the Huo family's property is not easy to get.
The Huo family's huge property is also a favorite in the eyes of many relatives, so it can't be said that they are very friendly to Huo Yichen who has assumed the title of heir.
Huo Yichen described his life during this period calmly, as if he was on an outing.
But the danger revealed inside and outside the words is enough for Murong Qiao to outline what kind of scene Huo Yichen is facing.
"Apart from these troubles, there is nothing to worry about." As for those intrigues, Huo Yichen didn't mention a word, just mentioned it in one sentence.
Murong Qiao looked up at Huo Yichen, and kept observing the expression of the other person when he spoke. She noticed the boredom in Huo Yichen's eyes unconsciously when he talked about Huo's family.
From a certain point of view, the two of them are very similar but not the same.
She heard that Huo Yichen took on life alone, returned to Huo's house to face countless relatives waiting for him with malice, and carried everything by herself.
Although Murong Qiao doesn't have the experience like Huo Yichen, she finds it difficult just to think about the battles between wealthy families.
Facing the unfamiliar environment and the so-called relatives, Huo Yichen's side is full of malice.
"Of course," Huo Yichen changed the subject. "I don't say this to win your sympathy."
"I was too impulsive at that time, and I hurt you in a fit of anger." He took the initiative to bring up the previous incident.
Even though Murong Qiao didn't deliberately mention it many times, Huo Yichen still kept it in his heart.
"I'm sorry." Huo Yichen lowered his eyes to look at Murong Qiao, and made up for the apology he owed.
He always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize, but he didn't say it until today.
After learning that Huo Yichen had such an experience during the time he disappeared, Murong Qiao unconsciously softened his heart towards him.
Hearing the three words "sorry" at this moment made the loose defense line in her heart gradually collapse.
Thinking that Huo Yichen's mother had just passed away at that time, the only discomfort left in Murong Qiao's heart disappeared, and no one would be happy when encountering such a thing.
Besides, Huo Yichen played with her all day today, and Murong Qiao gradually felt that his feelings for Huo Yichen might indeed be different.
She could feel Huo Yichen's sincerity and guilt, and also noticed that she was gradually softening her heart.
"I really lost to you." Until meeting Huo Yichen's serious eyes, Murong Qiao had to admit that he was defeated.
Before he finished speaking, Murong Qiao was embraced by Huo Yichen.
Lengxiang wrapped her, carrying Huo Yichen's breath.
"Just this time." Murong Qiao did not resist, and added the second half of the sentence in a low voice.
Huo Yichen heard what the other party said, chuckled and did not answer
The slightly cool night breeze also learned to avoid the hot embrace of the two, leaving some space for them embracing each other.
The estrangement disappeared at this moment, and the relationship seemed to be closer.
