Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Mr. and Mrs. Fang watched from the side, shaking their heads.

Fang's mother leaned close to Fang Yu and complained in a low voice:

"Look at you, didn't you even try to stop him!"

"I've already spent almost a hundred yuan, and I haven't gotten anything in return. All I've gained is a laughingstock!"

Fang Yu sighed, his face full of helplessness:

"Mom, once she gets going, no one can stop her."

He looked at the stubborn little figure in the field, feeling both annoyed and amused.

This girl usually seems aloof and reserved, so why is she so competitive?

At this moment, Liu Yifei's mentality had completely collapsed.

The more she tried to catch one to prove she wasn't so "incompetent," the less her hands obeyed her commands.

The next throw was even worse.

Thirty rings were thrown away in no time.

The results were even worse than last time.

Last time, at least one or two people barely made it through.

This time, almost none of the circles were within one meter of the target prize.

He threw out a bunch of rings, heard a thud, but didn't even see a splash.

Liu Yifei was completely speechless.

She stood there, holding the last ring in her hand, hesitant to throw it.

She looked at the mess of rings on the ground, then at the prizes that were still there, as if mocking her, and a huge wave of grievance welled up in her heart.

Why?

Why is it so difficult?

Liu Yifei's eyes instantly reddened, and her nose felt sore; she felt as if tears were about to fall at any moment.

She spent over a hundred yuan, only to be met with ridicule from those around her and her own embarrassment.

She didn't want to throw them away anymore.

Throwing it down again would only bring shame upon oneself.

Liu Yifei turned around and looked at Fang Yu with a pitiful expression.

That look seemed to say: I give up, let's go, this place is too bullying.

The viewers in the live stream were heartbroken to see this.

[Waaaaah, stop playing! Fairy, stop playing! We're done!]

[This boss is a total rip-off! I just looked closely, and the diameter of that ring is smaller than the narrowest part of those larger prizes! This is blatant fraud!]

Exactly! The ring is smaller than the object itself, how could anyone possibly loop it?! This boss is utterly heartless!

【Don't cry, fairy! We're done playing. What's so great about that crappy rabbit? We'll buy you a bigger one!】

[Fang Yu! What are you standing there for! Go and comfort him!]

Fang Yu sighed inwardly as he looked at Liu Yifei, who was on the verge of tears.

He stepped forward, took the last lone ring toss from Liu Yifei's hand, casually tossed it back to the boss, and then asked a question.

"Boss, can I talk to you about something?"

"What's up, young man?" The fat boss was in a good mood and found everyone agreeable.

"Look, my friend has spent over a hundred yuan here and hasn't gotten anything." Fang Yu pointed to Liu Yifei, who was still looking aggrieved behind him.

"How about... you give me something smaller? Look at that little turtle, it's quite nice, consider it a consolation prize," Fang Yu said, pointing to a palm-sized green turtle plush toy.

He felt the request wasn't excessive, after all, Liu Yifei had genuinely spent money.

The surrounding onlookers also thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, boss, that girl spent so much money, how about giving her a younger one?"

"You can't be too ruthless in business; you need repeat customers."

To everyone's surprise, the fat boss shook his head vigorously after hearing this.

"That won't do! Young man, we don't have that rule here!"

"Ring toss is all about the word 'toss'. If you manage to snag it, it's yours; if you don't, it's just bad luck."

"If I open this door, everyone will come asking me for consolation prizes. How am I supposed to keep doing business then?"

The fat boss's argument was logical and well-founded, leaving no room for argument.

Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this boss was quite principled.

However, just as he was about to give up and leave.

The fat boss, however, changed his tone, his voice carrying a hint of provocation.

"Besides, young man."

"Your girlfriend really wants that big bunny, and you just stand here watching her get anxious?"

Why didn't you put one on her?

"If you could just answer one of those questions correctly, it would be better than you wasting your breath arguing with me here! Don't you agree?"

Fang Yu was taken aback by his words.

girlfriend?

He glanced at Liu Yifei and found that she was also looking at him, her eyes filled with not only grievance but also a hint of... expectation?

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

It's all over.

This is like being roasted over a fire.

He touched his nose and gave a dry laugh:

"I can't do it, I'm clumsy, I can't do this."

Fang Yu really didn't want to play.

These kinds of stalls are full of shady dealings.

The angle at which the prizes were placed, and the size and weight of the rings, were all carefully designed.

For an ordinary person to succeed, it's harder than winning the lottery.

He didn't want to embarrass himself by going up there.

To his surprise, his statement "I can't" only emboldened the fat boss.

"Hey! Young man, what are you saying!"

"We men from Northeast China are capable in all situations: we can grace a formal setting, we can cook a delicious meal, we can fight off thugs, and we can shoulder heavy responsibilities. When have we ever said we can't do it?"

"Especially in front of a girl you like, you absolutely can't say no!"

"Don't you think that makes sense?"

The fat boss's words were highly persuasive and instantly resonated with the group of burly men from Northeast China around him.

"Yes! The boss is right!"

"Young man, stop dawdling and get to work!"

"Exactly! Spending a hundred or two hundred yuan to make your girlfriend happy is worth it!"

The viewers in the live stream were also divided into two camps.

One faction supports Fang Yu.

[Stop with the moral blackmail, okay? Knowing it's a trap, why jump in anyway?]

[Exactly! Fang Yu said he didn't know how to play, but you guys still forced him. What's the point?]

[That boss is so wicked, he's deliberately provoking Fang Yu!]

The other side felt that Fang Yu was a bit "cowardly".

[Seriously? Liu Yifei wants it so badly, and he doesn't even bother to try?]

[She's a celebrity, after all. Can't she even spend twenty yuan? So stingy!]

Sigh, they seem to have lost their way; they lack any sense of responsibility when it matters most.

……

Rear command post.

Fang Yu's agent, Sister Wang, was so anxious when she saw this that she paced back and forth in her office.

"Oh dear! What is Fang Yu doing?!"

"At this point, whether you know it or not, you have to bite the bullet and go for it!"

"Losing isn't shameful! What's shameful is not even daring to try!"

"Hurry up! Even if it's thrown to a pulp, it's better than standing still!"

The assistant next to him whispered:

"Sister Wang, isn't his persona supposed to be aloof and cold? It's understandable that he wouldn't bother with this kind of game, right?"

"Shut up!" Sister Wang cursed angrily. "Being aloof and being a coward are two different things! The whole country is watching! He's ruining his image!"

……

Sanya, sea-view villa.

While in the restroom, Hua Yu secretly turned on the live stream of Fang Yu's group.

There was nothing he could do; this damned competitive spirit made him want to know what kind of trouble Fang Yu was up to all the time.

Has his popularity surpassed his own?

When he saw Fang Yu being harassed by the boss and passersby, he repeatedly waved his hands and said "no".

Hua Yu sighed with a hint of disappointment:

"That's it? It doesn't even have the most basic masculine charm."

"You backed down when the woman needed you?"

Hua Yu felt that her worries were completely unnecessary.

The audience's eyes are discerning.

They will soon discover who the truly worthy idols are.
