Playing Dance Dance Revolution, Xie Yuning is really skilled. Her graceful movements made everyone at the scene amazed. When the song ended and the screen showed a perfect score, Xie Yuning stopped. As she turned around to face everyone with sweat dripping down her forehead, everyone immediately applauded without hesitation, including myself. I clapped with all my might, possibly hurting my palms.

"You're really amazing," I said to Xie Yuning as she stepped down from the DDR machine.

"This level is just average," Xie Yuning surprisingly replied modestly.

"If it were me, I definitely couldn't do it."

"Of course, you can tell you're clumsy," Xie Yuning rolled her eyes at me.

"This is quite difficult. The rapidly ascending keys would be enough to make me fumble."

"I wanted to let you try it too," she continued.

"Spare me... I really can't play this," I quickly refused.

"Well, there's nothing I can do," Xie Yuning showed a slightly regretful expression. Although I knew she was deliberately pretending, I still appreciated her giving me an excuse.

"What should we play next?" Xie Yuning asked, scanning the arcade.

"There seem to be a lot of arcade games over there," I pointed at the screens flashing with dazzling moves.

"Arcade games? Let's play Rise of Three Kingdoms then."

"Alright," I nodded.

We sat in front of the game machines, inserted two coins, selected our characters, and started playing the game.

I don't know why, even though I had never played before, my hands seemed to have a memory and smoothly controlled my character's movements and attacks. But Xie Yuning knew how to execute powerful moves, and despite watching her several times, I couldn't learn them. Also, maybe I didn't choose the right character, as my attack range was a bit short and I always failed to dodge the boss's attacks. In short, I inserted many more coins, while Xie Yuning remained as calm as Mount Tai and skillfully handled the controls.

"Nice, this lady is indeed a gaming genius," I commented when we finally cleared a stage.

I didn't expect Xie Yuning to finish the game. She was so happy that she almost stood up from her seat. Meanwhile, I looked at my dismal performance, although I cleared the stage, it was more like a fluke. Well, clearing is clearing after all.

"I really can't compare to you in this aspect," I said.

"Of course, this lady's reputation in the gaming world is well-deserved," she replied confidently.

Could Xie Yuning be a hidden expert in the gaming community? This thought provoked me to give it further consideration.

Xie Yuning was unaware of what I was thinking. She quickly ran to the claw machine and put in a few coins.

To others, it seemed difficult to grab a doll, as they often slipped away. But for Xie Yuning, it was as easy as pie. She effortlessly grabbed several dolls.

"Sister, we can’t grab even one," a disappointed brother and sister watched as the doll they were about to capture slipped away.

"Sister, look at that girl. She's so amazing," the sister said.

"Why does she make grabbing dolls look so effortless?"

The brother and sister were amazed by Xie Yuning's skills in grabbing dolls.

"Here, these dolls are for you," the next moment took an unexpected turn. Xie Yuning handed over a bunch of dolls to the siblings.

"Sister, why are you giving us the dolls?" the younger brother asked in confusion.

"Because I grabbed too many dolls, and I'm going to other places later. It's inconvenient to carry so many dolls," Xie Yuning explained.

"But Mom said we shouldn't take things from others."

"So should I throw them away?"

Xie Yuning was about to throw away the dolls, but the younger brother tightly clung onto them.

"In any case, please accept these dolls. I have things to do and can't stay with you any longer," Xie Yuning said as she walked towards me.

"Thank you, big sister!" the brother and sister expressed their gratitude from behind. Then, happily hugging the dolls, they walked away.

"I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted," I exclaimed admiringly.

"It's only because it's inconvenient to carry so many dolls. Otherwise, I wouldn't give them away," Xie Yuning said without turning her face towards me. It was easy to tell that she didn't really think that way.

"It's true that carrying so many dolls is inconvenient. Seeing through without pointing it out is just basic courtesy," I replied.

"I'm also getting tired of playing with the doll machine. It seems like there's nothing else fun to do," Xie Yuning scanned the surroundings and it seemed like there was nothing left to play.

"Why don't you play that gambling machine over there, Baoqing?" I pointed to a group of people playing excitedly.

"Oh, that? It's a gambling machine. I have no interest in playing," Xie Yuning said disdainfully.

"Look at those people, they're really happy, holding boxes of small steel marbles in their arms," I pointed at those people playing Baoqing excitedly.

"They're all gambling addicts. They win some and lose some. They usually lose everything they have," Xie Yuning said with a face of contempt.

"You know a lot about it."

"Of course, don't you see who I am," Xie Yuning said proudly.

"If we go next, we can catch some movies that have been released recently."

"Do you want to go watch a movie?"

"Stop dawdling, let's go buy tickets now."

Xie Yuning grabbed my hand and ran towards the cinema. At the entrance of the cinema, Xie Yuning bought two tickets at the ticket office, while I bought a bucket of popcorn and two cups of cola. We arrived just in time for the movie, picked up our tickets, and entered the designated hall, finding the seat numbers indicated on the tickets and sat down.

Looking at the movie title on the ticket, it was a love story. As the lights dimmed, the screen in front began showing the movie.

I didn't really understand what the movie was about, but some of the kissing and intimate scenes made me uncomfortable.

And I suddenly realized that everyone watching the movie inside were couples. During a kissing scene between the male and female leads, some of the couples couldn't help but imitate the kissing.

I could only keep stuffing popcorn into my mouth, while Xie Yuning blushed as she watched.

When the male and female leads got even more intimate on screen,

Some people covered their mouths, while Xie Yuning shyly covered her eyes with her hands, but she couldn't resist curiosity and opened a slit between her fingers. As for me, I didn't know where to look and could only look upwards.

"Finally, the movie is over." When we exited the cinema, I felt a sense of relief.

"Although they faced many difficulties, the male and female leads eventually ended up together," Xie Yuning said with mixed emotions.

"Yeah," I weakly responded. In fact, I didn't watch the rest of the movie and didn't know what it was about or how it ended.

"Don't you like watching movies?" Xie Yuning asked, seemingly sensing my exhaustion.

"It's not that, I just didn't expect it to be a love story."

"Isn't love supposed to be a beautiful thing? Two people going through hardships and ending up together. Shouldn't we be praising love?" Xie Yuning said sentimentally.

"Love should be a beautiful thing, but watching a movie in that kind of environment doesn't allow me to appreciate it." There was a deep sense of fatigue in the depths of my soul.

"Are you a virgin?!" Xie Yuning said in surprise.

"Ah!?" I felt both surprised and embarrassed.

"So, you really are a virgin," Xie Yuning's tone became even more certain.

"Even if I am, please don't keep emphasizing it. There are other people around," I felt the strange gazes around me.

"It doesn't matter. Being a virgin is nothing to be ashamed of," Xie Yuning said.

"True, but it's still a sensitive topic," I protested.

"Is that so? Then, I won't mention those two words anymore, little virgin,"

"I thought you said you wouldn't mention that word anymore?" I almost got angry, but Xie Yuning covered her mouth and giggled. She was clearly playing a game with me.

"I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded. Unlike you, I'm more generous," Xie Yuning said.

"Then, may I ask if you're a virgin?" I asked without a good temper.

"You're annoying. You ask too many questions," Xie Yuning's voice was so loud that it almost overwhelmed everything. Xie Yuning said she was generous, but her true colors were finally revealed.

"Yes, it's true that the young miss is not easy to provoke," I muttered quietly.

"I have something to attend to, wait here for me," Xie Yuning suddenly turned serious and seemed to be staring at a certain place.

"What's the matter?" I was confused, but Xie Yuning just said, "Just wait here, I'm going to the restroom."

Upon hearing Xie Yuning's words, I naturally didn't follow her. But the direction she went was clearly towards an alley. Is there a restroom over there? Maybe there really is one. I don't plan to dwell on it and find a place to sit down.

I waited for more than ten minutes, but still didn't see Xie Yuning. Do girls really take that long in the restroom? Doesn't their legs get numb from squatting for so long? Did she forget to bring toilet paper? These thoughts crossed my mind one after another.

I started to feel anxious, wondering if Xie Yuning had been abducted by someone in the restroom, or if she had really forgotten to bring toilet paper. In a state of impatience, I suddenly remembered that Xie Yuning should have her phone with her. I decided to send her a message to inquire.

Just as I quickly typed the message into the input box and was about to click send, Xie Yuning appeared in front of me as if she had known I would message her.

"Why did you take so long in the restroom?" I asked angrily.

Xie Yuning didn't say a word for some reason, and a trace of haze appeared on her face.

"I'm asking you a question, why aren't you saying anything?" I was puzzled.

"What happened?"

"You're so noisy, like a parrot!" Xie Yuning suddenly became impatient. At first thought, I felt that this girl not only had a fickle personality like the weather, but also had a sharp and sarcastic way of speaking.

"I waited for you for so long, you don't have to treat me so poorly," I said, feeling insulted that she compared me to a parrot, a lowly insult to such a sophisticated animal like me.

"I'm...I'm sorry," unexpectedly, Xie Yuning actually apologized to me. I didn't know what had happened, but it made it impossible for me to be angry with her.

"It's okay," I decided not to dwell on it.

"Come with me to a place," without waiting for my reaction, Xie Yuning grabbed my hand and ran towards the place she wanted to go. In a situation where I couldn't understand the circumstances, I felt like a puppet being manipulated, and could only follow Xie Yuning's lead to somewhere unknown to me.
