132: Problem with the ring?

Lin Kai and Hua Hanyao listened to the intense shouts coming from the end of the alley, and their hearts felt as if a kitten was scratching, itching terribly.

The two tiptoed to the corner, first exchanged glances, then both took a deep breath.

Then they peeked around the corner.

The next moment, both of them froze.

The imagined scene of domestic violence was not there; instead, they saw a man struggling with a ring toss, while the woman and child beside him also looked grim-faced.

“...”

“...”

Lin Kai and Hua Hanyao silently looked at each other.

They both saw the speechlessness in each other’s eyes.

Isn't it just playing ring toss?

Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?

It's so easy to misunderstand!

Lin Kai looked at Hua Hanyao and asked softly, "No more excitement to watch, shall we go?"

Hua Hanyao, however, shook her head and said, "I haven't played ring toss in a long time, I didn't expect them to have it here. How about we play a few rounds?"

Lin Kai naturally had no objection.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, playing a game of ring toss would also help with digestion.

The two immediately stepped around the corner and walked forward.

When they got closer, Hua Hanyao asked He Jingrui, "Boss, how do you charge here?"

Seeing a customer, He Jingrui became very enthusiastic.

"One yuan per ring! If you get a ringer, you can take it!"

Hua Hanyao heard it wasn't expensive and immediately said, "Then I'll take ten rings to start!"

However, Lin Kai was more thoughtful and quickly followed up with a question.

"Boss, what's hidden inside these golden balls?"

Hua Hanyao suddenly realized and also quickly looked at He Jingrui.

Hearing the new customers mention this again, Lu Chuan, who had just been laughed at by the couple and developed a psychological shadow, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He Jingrui, however, grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and laughed, "There are good things in these balls! Today is a food exhibition, right? Although we have a ring toss stall here, we still have to fit the theme of the event! Why don't you guess what delicious food is in the balls?"

Hearing He Jingrui's words, Lu Chuan was quite surprised, not expecting He Jingrui to say something so clever, which not only avoided awkwardness but also aroused the customers' curiosity.

He couldn't help but secretly give He Jingrui a thumbs up.

As for Lin Kai and Hua Hanyao, after hearing this, their faces immediately showed curiosity.

They looked at the spherical objects laid out on the mat cloths, completely not expecting them to contain food.

Typical ring toss stalls usually display small, wholesale items like toys and plushies.

They didn't expect this stall to be so unique!

Hua Hanyao couldn't help but laugh, "That sounds interesting!"

Lin Kai nodded, expressing agreement.

"It is a bit interesting."

He looked at He Jingrui and asked curiously, "Boss, don't keep us in suspense, what exactly is inside?"

He Jingrui laughed, "Inside is beggar's chicken!"

Thanks to a certain TV series that was popular all over the country, the name of beggar's chicken was quite well-known, and Lin Kai and Hua Hanyao were naturally not unfamiliar with it.

They hadn't guessed it at first, mainly due to the influence of habitual thinking.

Hua Hanyao's face immediately showed interest.

"So it's beggar's chicken! To be honest, I've always wanted to taste what beggar's chicken tastes like!"

Seeing his girlfriend's interest, Lin Kai immediately patted his chest and said, "Alright, I guarantee you'll taste it today!"

He then looked at He Jingrui.

"Boss, I'll take ten rings to warm up first!"

He Jingrui heard this and quickly separated ten rings from his hand, handed them to Lin Kai, and didn't forget to offer a few blessings.

"Wishing you a good start! Tonight, we eat chicken!"

Lin Kai heard this and nodded with satisfaction.

Just then, the man who was playing ring toss earlier threw his last ring.

With a soft thud as it hit the ground, the man's exasperated roar came again.

"Waaah! I'm so mad!"

The man turned and strode towards Lu Chuan.

"Boss, is there something wrong with your rings! Why can't I get a single ringer!"

Before Lu Chuan could speak, the woman had already pulled him, looking somewhat displeased.

"Husband, you can't act like this in front of the child, he'll learn bad habits!"

The man heard this, then saw his somewhat nervous son, and immediately reined in the anger on his face.

He quickly squatted down, picked up his son with one arm, held his wife's hand with the other, turned his head, and left.

Before leaving, he also glared at Lu Chuan, looking very displeased.

Lu Chuan turned his head away somewhat guiltily, avoiding eye contact with the other party, while also feeling wronged.

It was clearly the system that tampered with things, but he was the one getting scolded.

The rings provided by the system had significantly more elasticity than common rings on the market.

Even if the aim and force were sufficient, and the ring landed perfectly on the mud ball, it would bounce right off the next moment.

The customers playing ring toss didn't know the inside story; at first, they thought their own skills were lacking, but after encountering this situation several times, even the most foolish would realize something was wrong.

This was also why the man was so angry in the end.

Lu Chuan was truly at a loss for words at this moment and could only silently take the blame.

Lin Kai heard the man's words and immediately looked suspiciously at the rings, trying to bend and pull them to check, but he couldn't find any problems.

On the contrary, the ring in his hand not only felt comfortable to hold but was also very light, offering a much better experience compared to the rings he had played with before.

Therefore, Lin Kai shook his head, suspecting that the man himself didn't know how to play and was blaming the boss.

He patted Hua Hanyao's hand and laughed, "Yaoyao, this is a rare opportunity, let me show you how your boyfriend teaches the boss a lesson with ten yuan!"

Hua Hanyao was also very supportive. Hearing Lin Kai's confident words, she immediately cheered him on.

"Go! Go!"

"Hahahaha!"

Lin Kai threw his head back and laughed a few times, then took the ten rings and walked boldly towards the red line.

Lu Chuan and He Jingrui exchanged glances, both shaking their heads, then remained silent.

Teach the boss a lesson?

Young men in love are just prone to not seeing themselves clearly.

At this moment, Lin Kai had already stood at the marked red line.

He aimed at the nearest mud ball, then lightly shouted, flicked his wrist, and threw a ring out.

"Behold my invincible Wind-Fire Wheel!"

As his words fell, the "Wind-Fire Wheel" immediately drew a parabola in the air.

It landed accurately on... the open ground.

“...”

Lin Kai met Hua Hanyao's questioning gaze, and the smile on his face completely froze.

One second later, he quickly grabbed another ring and made up for it, "That was just to get a feel for it, this time I'm serious!"

With that, he threw the ring in his hand once more.
