Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

After they finished throwing away their trash, Jinxi took them to the arcade.

It was morning, and there weren't many people inside. Jinxi exchanged 100 game tokens, grabbed two small baskets, filled half of each of them, and waved her hand, saying, "Go play!"

Actually, there aren't many things to do here. Jinxi remembers there's a big arcade in Jincheng. Next time Xiaoxu has a break, we can go play together.

Jinxi paused again, wondering why she was thinking about Xiaoxu again.

She found herself thinking about Zhou Linxu more often lately.

Jinxi patted her cheeks, dismissing the thought.

He's been acting a bit... strange lately.

There's a saying, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've at least seen pigs run." She can still see things clearly.

But she couldn't quite see her own heart clearly.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

Jinxi snapped out of her daze and looked over. There stood two children, Zanzan and Zhengzheng, in front of a claw machine. Zanzan was holding a plush toy, a purple penguin, which was about the size of Zanzan's little belly.

The two children looked excited. Jinxi walked over with a smile and said, "You two are amazing! You caught it so quickly!"

Zhou Yanqian, holding the purple penguin in his arms, said, "Zhengzheng caught it."

He didn't know how to play the claw machine and tried several times without success. Gu Mingzheng came over and took a look, and then won on his first try.

Jinxi patted his head: "You'll be able to catch it too later, Mommy believes in you, go for it!"

She looked around and said, "Baby, go ask the staff for a bag to put it in."

Zhou Yanqian nodded: "Mm!"

After saying that, he grabbed the purple penguin and ran to the counter. Zhengzheng saw this and said, "Zanzan, wait for me! I'll go with you. Don't run off!"

Zhou Yanqian turned and glanced at him: "Hurry up."

Also, who ran off?

The two children walked side by side to the counter, and Zhengzheng said, "Sister! Hello, please give me a big bag, I want to put penguins in it."

The worker turned around and saw two adorable children. She said, "Here you go."

Zhengzheng said thank you, and then asked Zanzan, "Zanzan, do you want one too? We can catch a lot of plush toys later, and one bag won't be enough."

Zhou Yanqian had the same idea, and his tone was much gentler: "Sister, please give me a bag too."

The staff member gave him another bag.

Now both of them have a large bag, and they're even different colors, making them very easy to distinguish.

Zhou Yanqian looked at his empty bag, then at the little penguin inside Zhengzheng's bag, and his fighting spirit was aroused.

He'll definitely catch more than Gu Mingzheng later!

Zhengzheng, however, seemed oblivious. He lowered his head and took Zanzan's hand again: "Let's go, your mommy's been watching us!"

The two of them took the bags and went back.

Jinxi gave a thumbs up again: "You two are the bravest and most generous kids in the world. I'll help you with the bags, you can continue playing."

Zhengzheng nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Xiaoxi. You've worked so hard, Aunt Xiaoxi!"

Oh my (￣y▽,￣)╭, Zhengzheng's little mouth is so sweet!

Zhou Yanqian solemnly handed his empty bag to Xiao Xi, saying, "Take good care of it and don't put it in the wrong place."

Seeing his expression, Jinxi nodded very seriously: "Don't worry, Mommy won't make a mistake."

Zhou Yanqian hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself. Jin Xi was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong, baby?"

Zhou Yanqian shook his head: "It's nothing."

He was just starting to worry a little about his luck.

He remembered that in his previous life, Gu Mingzheng was incredibly lucky, as if a god of good fortune was standing behind him.

Zhou Yanqian was feeling down, but Zhengzheng was already calling him: "Zanzan, come here quickly, let's keep catching!"

"Here I am." Zhou Yanqian took a deep breath and strode over with great pride.

Jinxi tilted her head; she really couldn't understand Zhou Zanzan.

However, Jinxi accepted it well. If she couldn't understand it, she wouldn't try to guess. Anyway, she wouldn't guess correctly no matter how she tried. Zanzan's heart is hard to guess!

Jinxi stood behind Zanzan, and Zhengzheng was teaching him how to look at it.

Jinxi said, "Zhengzheng baby, you're so good at playing!"

"Of course!" Zhengzheng exclaimed. "I'm the best at playing claw machines!"

Jinxi gave a thumbs up and then stopped interrupting the two children's exchange.

You can tell that Zan Zan really doesn't know how to play, and her body moves along with the hook unconsciously, which looks especially cute.

Jinxi felt like she was about to develop heart-shaped eyes.

She took out her phone and decided to become a silent photographer, snapping away at the two children.

A furrowed brow is cute, a pouty face is cute, and a beaming smile is cute too!

Two adorable creatures.

Jinxi felt a little regretful when she thought about how the two of them went their separate ways after growing up.

These two adorable babies, may their friendship last forever!

Jinxi, this elderly mother, cried out in her heart—

Jinxi thought the two kids would play with the claw machine for a while and then move on to other games, but to her surprise, they stayed right in the claw machine area.

This arcade has about twenty-seven or twenty-eight claw machines, some grouped together and some scattered in corners.

The two children had a very clear goal: once they caught one, they would move on to the next. By the end of the morning, both of Jinxi's bags were full. She even went to the counter to ask for a small trolley specifically to put their dolls in.

Jinxi exchanged a total of 200 game tokens and used them all on the claw machine.

She glanced at her watch: "My darlings, how much longer are you going to hold on?"

Zhou Yanqian stuffed the game tokens in: "Mommy, wait a minute, okay? I'm not playing anymore after I've finished grabbing them."

Zhengzheng nodded: "Yes, Aunt Xiaoxi, we're done playing this time and we're done playing."

He looked at Zan Zan and said, "Shall we continue playing this afternoon?"

Zhou Yanqian said, "We're going to the children's playground this afternoon."

Jinxi had already told him in advance where they were going.

Zhengzheng said, "Okay! Then come to my house this weekend, and I'll have my dad take us to play the claw machine again."

"Okay." Zhou Yanqian also found the claw machine fun. If his afternoon schedule wasn't already set, he would have liked to continue playing.

The two children have become much closer.

In the end, the two of them caught the same number of fish.

Zhou Yanqian was still a little confused. How could it be a tie? He remembered that he was two or three fewer than Zhengzheng.

Could it be that he remembered it wrong?

Zhengzheng asked, "Zanzan, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Yanqian snapped out of his daze: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect us to have the same amount."

Zhengzheng blinked and smiled, saying, "That's great! It means we're both top-notch!"

Jinxi raised her hands and patted their heads: "You two are fantastic kids. The counter has 16 small toys that can be exchanged for a big goose. Would you like to trade?"

Zhengzheng pointed and said, "Okay! Let's get a big goose! Auntie can wash it and put it on the bed, I want to hug it to sleep."

Jinxi said, "Okay, let's push it to change it."

She handed control of the stroller to the two of them: "Go ask your sister if you can switch. Go on, be polite!"

The two little ones confidently pushed the stroller past again.

Xi was pleased to see that, as expected, it's best to play with children of the same age. Zanzan was much more cheerful today.

In the end, each of the two children traded a large goose for two small pinwheels that they could clip to their collars.

Jinxi helped them attach the windmill, and after taking a few steps, the windmill started to turn.

Zhou Yanqian looked down and thought the little windmill was quite interesting.

Zhengzheng noticed too, and he said, "This is so much fun! I want to go faster, do we need to run?"

Jinxi said, "Let's not run anymore, let's run after we get home."

Zhengzheng was disappointed, but he didn't give up. He stood in front of Zanzan and said, "I'll give you a good smothering!"

As he spoke, he puffed out his cheeks and blew on Zan Zan's windmill.

Zhou Yanqian touched his chin.

Could you please stop spitting on him, little boy?
