Lappland stared blankly at her phone, wondering what was going on.
Before she could even send a message to inquire, her attention was quickly drawn to the intense battle on the movie screen.
Seeing this guy's carefree attitude, the two behind him couldn't help but sigh.
As everyone continued watching the movie in silence, an eerie atmosphere gradually spread.
Hiroi Kikuri and Croissant were unconscious until the end of the movie.
When they groggily woke up, the theater was already lit up, and the warm light gave them a feeling of being in heaven.
Seeing Texas and the others surrounding Jiang Qiu and asking him questions, Kiku and Croissant, who were gradually coming to their senses, also noticed their own abnormality, and their pretty faces turned extremely red.
"The show's over, let's go outside and talk."
"We're in a bit of a hurry, we need to go to the restroom first."
"Oh, can you still walk? Do you need our help?"
"fine!"
Kiku and Croissant shook their heads in unison, afraid that they would notice something if they got too close, and hurriedly left the scene somewhat awkwardly.
Once the two left, they were nowhere to be seen for half an hour.
When he reappeared, although he no longer showed much weakness, there was a hint of languid ease in his expression.
Chapter 14, Section 14: Lappland: Cricket Texas
"Your stiff neck disappeared in no time?"
"Really? That efficient?"
Faced with everyone's doubts, Croissant casually shook her head from side to side.
He looked so relaxed, showing absolutely no signs of having a stiff neck.
Exusiai and the others, somewhat skeptical, stepped forward and poked it, their eyes practically brimming with interest.
Texas, on the other hand, stared intently at Croissant, as if she had sensed something amiss, and her eyes gradually narrowed.
What was this guy doing in the bathroom for so long?
Although she sensed something was off, she wisely kept quiet and instead introduced Mostima and Remian, who had shown up after finishing their gossip, to Jiang Qiu.
The two greeted each other with smiles, looking at the figure in front of them with great interest.
The lighting in the movie theater was so bad that I could only make out the general shape of people.
Now, upon closer inspection, even though the two were somewhat prepared, their eyes were still wide open.
This guy has really beautiful eyes; just a few seconds of eye contact can make someone feel mesmerized and captivated.
Her fair and delicate face is very endearing, and she seems to have perfectly inherited all the good qualities of her parents.
No wonder they buy croissants without hesitation; even they are a little tempted by this type.
It's just that the dog is suffering.
Thinking of this, Mostima patted Lappland on the shoulder and let out a pitying sigh.
Lappland glanced at her with some confusion, but didn't ask any questions. She turned around and put her arm around Jiang Qiu's shoulder.
"Hey, Jiang Qiu, give me a massage sometime."
"These past two days, I've been waking up with aches and pains all over my body, like I've been beaten up."
Are you sure you weren't really hit?
Jiang Qiu asked a question with a hint of ambiguity, his gaze unconsciously glancing at Texas and the others who looked unnatural.
These guys pretended not to know anything and quietly turned their heads away, even whistling lightly.
Obviously, it's very likely that the dog slept in a bad way, or perhaps it was grinding its teeth or snoring, and these guys disliked it so much that they beat it off the bed with sticks.
"Maybe next time. It's not a good time to maneuver on the road right now, and I can't keep you on my back."
"It's settled then. If you enjoy the massage, you'll be richly rewarded."
Alright!
"Any plans for the next day? How about we go to the arcade?"
"We've stored up a lot of game coins there, enough to play for a long time!"
Exusiai suggested with an expectant look on her face, and Nijika and the others also perked up.
"Okay, let's play for a while and then it'll be time to eat."
"OK! Let's go!!"
Exusiai waved her little fist and led the group in a fierce charge toward the video game store.
Mostima and Remian, who were at the very back, couldn't help but smile as they watched the group's energetic figures.
As they walked, Mostima seemed to remember something, nudged Remian with her elbow, and suggested—
"Would you like to ask Jiang Qiu to massage your legs and back?"
"Although you've recovered to the point where you can walk normally now, didn't you say you still feel sore occasionally?"
"Let's talk about this later."
Remi'an scratched her face, looking a little nervous.
She witnessed firsthand the sudden deaths of Hiroi Kikuri and Croissant, so Jiang Qiu is definitely skilled.
I don't know if I can handle it!
If there's any embarrassing reaction, you might be laughed at for a whole year!
Mostima had guessed her concerns and reassured her with a smile—
"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll press it with you. If we die, we die together. It's not shameful."
"Are you trying to embarrass yourself by making me look bad? You clearly want to try it yourself."
Remy Ann rolled her eyes at her, immediately exposing her little scheme.
Mostima chuckled sheepishly, but still shook her arm.
The effects are so mysterious that I'd feel restless and anxious if I didn't experience it for myself.
"Let's talk to him after we're done playing. It's not good to bother him too much."
"How about we get some other gifts while we're buying the dog a hat?"
"I can see it."
As the two of them entered the arcade, whispering amongst themselves, Jiang Qiu, Lappland, and Texas were already racing in their cars.
Hongxia and Croissant were lingering in front of the claw machine, staring excitedly at the oversized plush toys inside.
As for Exusiai and Hiroi Kikuri, they were tinkering with the Dance Moe game console on the other side, and for a time they were evenly matched.
"Has this store gotten bigger since the last time I came?"
"An additional area has been added; it must have been expanded by purchasing the adjacent property."
"There are arcade games over there, Elbow, let's go try them out."
"I'm not good at this."
"It's okay, I don't know how either, I'm just playing around."
Mostima chuckled and pushed Remian straight toward the arcade area in the corner.
Meanwhile, Lappland, who was engrossed in the game, couldn't stand Jiang Qiu blocking her way on the screen and, in a fit of rage, decided to act out.
While the other party was focused on controlling the situation, she couldn't resist reaching out her wicked claws.
The next second—
Snapped!
Before its claws could even scratch, Jiang Qiu slapped it away.
"What, trying to pull some sneak attack?"
"Oh, no, I was just stretching because I was tired from sitting in this car."
"You're practically sticking your claws into my car. Get your hands off and behave yourself."
"Tsk."
Lappland pouted and could only sit up straight obediently.
But seeing the persistently close rankings, she felt resentful and turned to Jiang Qiu, urging her on—
"Hey, Jiang Qiu, Texas's skills are just too good. Our chances of winning are slim."
"How about we sandwich cheese between two buns and head-on clash with her, then take her down first?"
"That way you can get first place, and I can escape last place, how about it?"
"I can hear you!"
Texas's annoyed grumbling came from the side: "This bastard isn't even trying to hide his intentions when he's trying to cause trouble?!"
However, upon hearing this, Jiang Qiu immediately agreed with Gouzi.
The two immediately began to recklessly use up their accumulated nitrogen, fiercely attacking the rear of the Texas's car.
Texas's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he almost couldn't resist kicking those two off the car.
Even though she tried her best, she still couldn't escape the fate of dying in the car crash.
Seeing the two perpetrators speed away, she didn't care about continuing and jumped into Lappland's car to start fighting with her.
"Stop messing around, man proposes, God disposes, you have to accept your fate—ouch, ouch, ouch, my ear is going to fall off!"
"Texas, you're only good for showing off now. Once I'm free, Aaaaaah!!!"
Under Jiang Qiu's subtle gaze, the two dogs tumbled off the car, and even showed signs of spreading the battle to his side.
Chapter 15, 15. It was all Lappland's doing!
"Did you guys rob the claw machine?"
Seeing that Hongxia and Croissant's arms were stuffed full of plush toys, Lappland, who was sitting on the rocking horse, couldn't help but complain.
At first glance, not a single one was the same!
"I think I'm having pretty good luck today."
"I accidentally grabbed too many, and now I can barely carry them all. Even though I gave a lot to the kids who came to play, I still have so many left."
"If you really can't carry it all, you can leave it at Sister Shihua's shop and pick it up when you have time."
"Hey, is that okay?"
"It's alright, it can even be used to decorate the restaurant."
As Jiang Qiu spoke, she swayed along with the rocking horse.
The childlike music, accompanied by pleasant ups and downs, made Hongxia and the others' expressions somewhat subtle.
How do these two things (2) (9) Qi Lu Jiu Bao VI Er manage to enjoy children's rocking cars so naturally?
"What about Texas?"
"After being defeated by the two of us working together, he went to Mostima and the others to play arcade games."
"Look, he's back."
As everyone turned to look, Remy and the others, who had already finished playing, walked over chatting and laughing.
Exusiai and Kikuto Hiroi followed behind them, rubbing their bellies listlessly.
"Can we go eat now? I'm so hungry."
"Are you hungry so soon?"
"I played all afternoon, and even jumped around on the dance machine a few times. I've already finished all the popcorn."
"Our stomachs have been growling ever since just now."
Exusiai mumbled something, and her little tummy rumbled a few times in perfect unison.
