Qiao Yingzi and her four friends suppressed their laughter (Qian Wang Zhao), but secretly thought that, apart from Li Anran and Ma Tian, all of these people's nicknames were hilarious. Afterwards, they introduced themselves to the group.
After everyone introduced themselves, the battle between Tu Jun and Zhu Weijiao ended with Zhu Weijiao's victory. Su Chang walked to the side, picked up a water glass, and took a big gulp.
At this point, Li Anran felt embarrassed to stay close to Su Chang alone any longer, so she asked Fang Yifan about Su Chang's information.
Fang Yifan was a chatterbox, and with Li Anran's ingratiating tone, he had no resistance whatsoever and revealed Su Chang's information without hesitation.
He spoke animatedly, completely oblivious to the murderous glares directed at Qiao Yingzi and the other two women.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Tu Jun quickly interrupted Fang Yifan and forcibly changed the subject. As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, trying to get everyone's attention.
When Li Anran heard that they were going to Guanyin Bridge next, her eyes lit up and she immediately suggested, "Brother Gou, why don't we go to Guanyin Bridge together? We haven't had a chance to thank Brother Su Chang for helping us today." Her face was beaming with a sincere smile and her eyes were full of anticipation.
"Sure." Seeing Li Anran's pleading eyes, Tu Jun immediately agreed to go to the toilet.
Chapter 308 Claw Machine
The suggestion was met with everyone's approval, and Su Chang couldn't very well refuse. He smiled and nodded in agreement.
Just then, a middle-aged woman came down from upstairs.
Her voice was loud and clear as she shouted in their direction, "Luo Shenxi, you little rascal, hurry up and go home to do your homework! What are you still doing there?"
Luo Shenxi trembled upon hearing his mother's voice. A look of fear crossed his face, as if his mother had discovered some secret.
Su Chang looked at the middle-aged woman with surprise, then stood up and greeted her politely, "Sister, so you're Luo Shenxi's mother?"
The middle-aged woman looked surprised when she saw Su Chang. She immediately walked over and said with a smile, "Oh, it's a handsome young man! What brings you here?" Her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.
Su Chang quickly replied, "We just finished eating hotpot and brought a few students out to digest, and we happened to run into these kids here." He had a smile on his face the whole time, appearing very friendly.
Luo Shenxi's mother immediately smiled and said, "So the handsome young man is a teacher! I never would have guessed." Her eyes were full of admiration.
Luo Shenxi interjected at this moment, "Mom, Teacher Su helped us out this afternoon. We were just planning to take them to Guanyinqiao for a stroll. What do you think..." His tone was pleading.
Luo Shenxi's mother immediately said with a smile, "Then you can go ahead. I've already handed over my shift. Or I can take you there. Just wait a moment, I'll call someone to pick you up now." She immediately took out her phone and was about to make a call.
867 Su Chang quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, sister, I have a car coming to pick you up later." He showed a sincere smile on his face and looked at Luo Shenxi's mother with a firm gaze, as if to say that he really did not need her help.
Seeing that Su Chang didn't seem to be lying, Luo Shenxi's mother said, "Alright then, thank you for your trouble, handsome young man."
A slight smile played on her lips as she looked at Su Chang with gentle eyes, seemingly appreciating his honesty and independence.
"Not at all, not at all." Su Chang waved his hands repeatedly, a hint of shyness appearing on his face, seemingly embarrassed by Luo Shenxi's mother's praise. His eyes shone with humility, and he gently shook his head, indicating that it was just a small matter.
Luo Shenxi's mother turned to look at Luo Shenxi and instructed him, "Be careful when you go out later, and come back early, okay?"
Luo Shenxi nodded repeatedly, no matter what his mother said, he just kept nodding expressionlessly. Whether he actually listened or not, only he knew.
Tu Jun and Zhu Weijiao hurried home to say goodbye to their parents, while Su Chang took out her phone to contact two bodyguards and, on Li Anran's recommendation, found a nearby place for them to wait.
The group then headed towards the agreed-upon location. Fortunately, there were two minivans, and they managed to squeeze into one and head to Guanyinqiao.
When they arrived at Guanyinqiao, the area was brightly lit and packed with people. Li Anran and Tu Jun led them to stroll around the streets for a while before heading to the arcade.
Upon arriving at the arcade, Su Chang immediately bought 1,000 yuan worth of tokens. Several boys and Zhu Weijiao grabbed handfuls of tokens and began to run wild. Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, their eyes sparkling, as if they had entered a world full of joy and challenges.
Li Anran was left behind, while Qiao Yingzi and the other two women stayed by Su Chang's side. Su Chang looked at the four women following closely behind and immediately felt a headache coming on. His brows furrowed slightly, and he inwardly groaned, not knowing how to deal with this situation.
He could only suggest, "How about I give you money so you can go buy milk tea?" Su Chang's tone was tinged with helplessness and pleading, and his eyes revealed a glimmer of hope that the four women would accept his suggestion and give him some freedom.
Li Anran immediately asked with a puzzled look, "Big Brother Su Chang, aren't you coming with us?" A look of disappointment appeared on her face.
Su Chang shook his head and said, "Um... I don't really like milk tea, you guys can go by yourselves." His tone was firm and decisive, and he waved his hand gently to indicate that he really didn't want to go.
Li Anran pursed her lips and said, "What a coincidence, I don't like milk tea either. I'll stay here with you then." A stubborn and determined look appeared on her face, as if she didn't intend to give up easily.
Qiao Yingzi and the other two girls cursed Li Anran in their hearts as a green tea b*tch, but they had no intention of leaving. Their eyes revealed dissatisfaction and jealousy, while they stared intently at Su Chang, as if to provoke him.
Su Chang was immediately at a loss. He sighed inwardly, unsure how to escape this awkward situation. A helpless smile appeared on his face as he gently rubbed his temples, trying to relieve his headache.
Su Chang reluctantly suggested again, "Alright then, see what you guys like to do, and let's go play together."
This time, Wang Yidi didn't wait for Li Anran to speak. She excitedly grabbed Su Chang's arm, pointed towards the claw machine, and said with anticipation, "Teacher Su, let's go play the claw machine! I believe you're really good at it!"
Looking at Wang Yidi's trusting eyes, Su Chang couldn't help but smile wryly. He didn't actually know how to play the claw machine, but he couldn't bear to refuse the four girls' expectations, so he had to bite the bullet and agree: "Okay, let's go play the claw machine, but I (ccdj) can't guarantee that we'll be able to win."
Before Li Anran could react, Huang Zhitao quickly grabbed Su Chang's other arm and said firmly, "It's okay, we believe in you, Teacher Su." After saying that, she exchanged a glance with Wang Yidi, and then pulled Su Chang toward the claw machine area.
Upon arriving at the claw machine area, Huang Zhitao immediately pointed to a large teddy bear, her eyes gleaming with longing, and excitedly exclaimed, "Teacher Su, I want that one!"
Su Chang walked over helplessly, carefully read the instruction manual on the machine, and then took out three game coins and put them into the claw machine.
His hands gripped the joystick nervously as he carefully began to grab the plush toy. The four women's eyes followed the claw's movements intently, as if afraid to miss a single moment.
When the claws reached directly above the teddy bear, Huang Zhitao's face flushed with excitement. She shouted excitedly, "Teacher Su, grab it quickly!"
Hearing her cry, Su Chang immediately pressed the button. However, the claw only lightly lifted the doll slightly before dropping it again.
Urged on by the girls, Su Chang inserted a few more game coins and then focused intently on manipulating the claw. However, the next few attempts all ended in failure, and the girls all showed expressions of disappointment.
Seeing the girls' dejected expressions, Su Chang felt a pang of pity. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered a claw machine video he'd seen on Douyin (TikTok) in his past life. He decided to try the method from the video.
This time, he didn't hesitate to put in fifteen coins at once.
Su Chang's gaze became focused. He stared intently at the teddy bear, silently calculating the trajectory of his claws. He no longer intended to grab the bear in one go, but instead skillfully used his claws to pull the bear towards the hole bit by bit, applying force towards its ears. Each drag made his heart race, and the four women's eyes followed his movements with tense anticipation.
After five attempts, Su Chang finally managed to capture the teddy bear. A relieved smile appeared on his face, while the four girls cheered excitedly.
"Wow, Ms. Su, you're amazing!"
"That's right, Ms. Su, you're amazing!"
"This teddy bear is so cute, I love it!"
Su Chang took out the teddy bear and handed it to Huang Zhitao. Huang Zhitao hugged the teddy bear and excitedly kissed Su Chang on the cheek.
Everyone was stunned. Huang Zhitao finally realized what she had done, blushed, and dared not meet the eyes of the crowd.
A hint of surprise flashed across Su Chang's face. He looked at Huang Zhitao, feeling a little flustered. He didn't know how to respond to Huang Zhitao's actions, so he could only give an awkward smile.
“That… Huang Zhitao, you…”
"I...I didn't mean to..." Huang Zhitao lowered her head, her voice barely audible.
Seeing Huang Zhitao's expression, Su Chang quickly changed the subject and asked the other three girls what kind of dolls they wanted. The three girls also quickly made their requests.
"I want that pink bunny."
"I want that little blue dolphin."
"I want that little yellow duck."
Without wasting any words, Su Chang immediately helped the three girls grab the dolls they wanted. With the experience from the first time, Su Chang became more skilled, his movements were quick and accurate, and he soon grabbed all three dolls.
The women were immediately excited, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Su Chang.
"Teacher Su, you are really amazing!"
"Thank you, Teacher Su!"
Su Chang felt a great sense of accomplishment. Seeing the women's happy faces made him very happy too.
But when he saw that more and more people were gathering around him and looking at him with increasingly strange expressions, he laughed and said, "Let's hurry up and go see how they're having fun."
The four women noticed that more and more people were gathering around them, so they immediately nodded in agreement and pulled Su Chang away.
Chapter 309 Dancing Machine
Su Chang led the four girls out of the claw machine area and saw Tu Junzheng, Zhu Weijiao, and Ma Tian shooting hoops, while Ji Yangyang, Luo Shenxi, and Ding Rongliang were playing racing games.
Su Chang looked at the large pile of coins still in his hand, grabbed a handful for himself, and then had Qiao Yingzi and Li Anran each give half of the remaining coins to him.
When Qiao Yingzi and Li Anran returned, Su Chang led the four women to find Fang Yifan.
"Where did Fang Yifan run off to?" Su Chang frowned, a little worried. "Is something wrong with him?"
Qiao Yingzi looked around anxiously, saying, "I'll try calling him." She dialed Fang Yifan's number, but he didn't answer.
Su Chang was about to call the bodyguard to have someone go find Fang Yifan when suddenly the five of them heard a commotion outside.
"Teacher Su, let's go outside and take a look. It's lively there, and we should be able to find Fang Hou," Qiao Yingzi suggested, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Su Chang thought about it and felt that Qiao Yingzi made sense, so he nodded and led the four women outside.
As soon as I stepped out, I saw a huge crowd of people, all gathered around something, and I could only hear screams of surprise.
"What's going on?" Su Chang asked curiously.
Wang Yidi quickly ran over and asked a boy next to her, then came back and told everyone, "It turns out there are two dance machines here, and two people are competing inside, a boy and a girl."
Upon hearing Wang Yidi's words, Qiao Yingzi's eyes lit up, and she said confidently, "Teacher Su, let's go in quickly. That man must be Fang Hou."
Su Chang had no other choice but to have the four women line up in two rows, tightly protecting them behind him, and then, relying on his own strength, he managed to squeeze out a path.
Some people initially wanted to say something sarcastic, but upon seeing Su Chang and the four girls' good looks, they immediately shut up. Even more girls from the "Society Bull" group wanted to add Su Chang to their "green bubble" (a euphemism for a romantic relationship), but were chased away by the four girls working together.
When the group squeezed to the dance machine, they found Fang Yifan indeed dancing awkwardly with a pretty girl. The screen showed their scores were neck and neck.
"Fang Hou, what are you doing here?" Qiao Yingzi shouted.
Hearing the voice, Fang Yifan turned around with a surprised expression on his face: "Why are you here? I'm having a competition with this young lady!" Although he was talking, his hands and feet kept moving.
Qiao Yingzi originally intended to reprimand Fang Yifan, but Su Chang stopped her: "Let him finish dancing, there's no rush."
Qiao Yingzi had no choice but to nod in agreement, and then the others joined the ranks of onlookers.
When the song ended, Fang Yifan was interrupted and lost to the young lady by a narrow margin. When someone came looking for Fang Yifan, the young lady greeted him and left, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.
Fang Yifan quickly ran over to Su Chang and the others. Su Chang looked at Fang Yifan and shook his head helplessly: "You, all you know how to do is play."
"Hehe, Teacher Su, isn't this very interesting! And as you know, I'm most interested in dancing," Fang Yifan said with a smile.
Looking at Fang Yifan, Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but feel a little angry: "All you do is play around. Don't you see how worried we are about you?"
Fang Yifan noticed Qiao Yingzi's mood and quickly went up to her to appease her, saying, "Yingzi, don't be angry, I'm fine."
Qiao Yingzi looked at Fang Yifan, and her anger subsided by half: "Don't do that again next time, do you hear me?"
"Okay, okay." Fang Yifan nodded quickly.
Su Chang looked at the two of them, secretly amused, and a maternal smile appeared on her face: "These two children are really interesting."
Then Wang Yidi grabbed Su Chang's arm, her eyes full of anticipation, and suggested, "Teacher Su, why don't we give it a try too?" Her voice carried a hint of pleading, as if she really hoped Su Chang would agree.
