Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

A countdown timer appeared on the game console screen.

three.

two.

One.

Moving targets started appearing on the screen at a frantic pace.

The simulated gun in Chen Yang's hand made muffled "bang" sounds with his movements.

He shot very casually, without even looking at the screen; the muzzle of his gun simply followed the trajectory of the target.

The onlookers shook their heads in disbelief.

"This guy is shooting too carelessly; he's not even holding the gun right."

"Exactly, you can't possibly hit a target with one hand holding this rifle model."

Li Ruoxue stood to the side, watching the scores constantly changing on the screen, her brows slowly relaxing.

She noticed that Chen Yang missed several high-scoring targets.

Although the hit rate wasn't low, it was still a far cry from the intense firepower suppression I had just received.

The one-and-a-half-minute game time ended quickly.

Chen Yang's final score popped up on the screen.

8600 points.

She scored more than a thousand points lower than Li Ruoxue.

Most of the people around dispersed, thinking that although the man was handsome, he was indeed not as good at the game as the beautiful woman.

Li Ruoxue couldn't help but smile.

She walked over to Chen Yang and patted the gun in his hand.

"So, are you convinced or not?"

Chen Yang put the gun back in the slot and shrugged.

"Officer Li's professional skills are truly unmatched; I humbly admit defeat."

He admitted defeat very readily.

Li Ruoxue took the basket of game tokens from his hand, feeling very happy.

Winning against Chen Yang was even more satisfying than her solving a major case at the police station.

"So, are we still going to play the next two rounds?"

Chen Yang leaned against the machine.

"It's obvious we can't win, so I won't embarrass myself by showing off."

Holding her game tokens, Li Ruoxue strolled around the arcade in high spirits.

"Alright, since you admit defeat, the rest of the time is at my disposal."

She pointed to the milk tea shop not far away.

"Go, go buy me a milk tea, 70% sweet with pearls."

Chen Yang nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I'll go right away."

He turned around and went to queue up at the milk tea shop at the entrance of the arcade to buy a drink.

Looking at his retreating figure, Li Ruoxue felt that this trip was definitely worthwhile.

This man usually acts like he's in complete control, but today he finally got his comeuppance.

About ten minutes later, Chen Yang returned with two cups of milk tea.

He handed the milk tea with the straw inserted to Li Ruoxue.

"Officer Li, here's your milk tea."

Li Ruoxue took the milk tea and took a sip; the sweetness was just right.

"Good performance."

She pointed to a claw machine in front of her.

"Now, I'm going to catch that pink rabbit. You're in charge of handing me coins."

Chen Yang stood next to the claw machine, dutifully playing the role of his little follower.

Li Ruoxue enthusiastically manipulated the joystick.

The claw on this claw machine is really loose; every time I think I'm about to grab it, it falls down halfway up.

Li Ruoxue was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"What a piece of junk this machine is! It can't lift anything at all."

Her pencil skirt rode up a little as she moved, and her long legs underneath were particularly dazzling under the lights.

Chen Yang grabbed a handful of coins from the basket and placed them on the table.

"These machines have their probabilities adjusted by the sellers; you can't rely on luck alone, you have to use some skills."

Li Ruoxue looked at him defiantly.

"What kind of skill could it possibly have? These claws have absolutely no strength."

Chen Yang walked up behind her.

He reached out and grasped Li Ruoxue's hand, which was resting on the joystick.

The movement was so natural that Li Ruoxue didn't even have time to dodge.

Chen Yang's chest pressed against her back, and the distance between them became zero.

"Watch closely."

Chen Yang took her hand and started shaking the joystick.

The grappling hook swung violently in mid-air, like a pendulum.

"When it swings to the very edge, press the drop button and use the momentum to throw the doll into the hole."

He explained the key points to Li Ruoxue in her ear, his warm breath falling on her earlobe without reservation.

Li Ruoxue's mind wasn't on playing the claw machine at all.

Her entire back was pressed against Chen Yang's chest, and she could clearly feel his body temperature.

She had only been sitting side by side while watching the movie, but now, being so close together, she was finding it hard to breathe.

"according to."

Chen Yang's voice rang in her ears.

Li Ruoxue pressed the button subconsciously.

The grappling hook descended and firmly grasped the pink rabbit's ear.

As it ascended, the grappling hook loosened, and the rabbit, propelled by the momentum of its swing, was flung directly into the exit hole.

"It fell out."

When Li Ruoxue saw the doll fall into the hole, she shouted excitedly.

She turned around and bumped right into Chen Yang's chest.

The two stared at each other, and something in the air seemed to be subtly heating up.

Li Ruoxue quickly took a step back, bracing her waist against the machine's table.

"I can catch it myself, move aside."

She frantically picked up the fallen doll, hugging the pink rabbit tightly, not daring to look at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang stepped aside.

"Officer Li, isn't this a bit like crossing the river and burning the bridge?"

Li Ruoxue pinched the rabbit's long ears.

Her feelings were extremely complicated at the moment. She felt both the joy of winning the game and the panic of being teased by Chen Yang, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

"Who crossed the river and then burned the bridge? Didn't we agree that you would listen to me today?"

She raised her chin and replied defiantly.

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh when he saw her trying so hard to maintain her haughty demeanor.

"Okay, whatever you say."

For the next hour or so, Li Ruoxue went wild at the arcade.

She played with go-karts, basketball shooting machines, and even went to play Taiko no Tatsujin for a while.

Chen Yang followed behind her at a leisurely pace, carrying her dolls and drinks, and occasionally being directed by her to exchange them for game tokens.

Li Ruoxue has completely let go today.

Normally in the police force, she has to maintain the dignity of a captain, and she rarely even smiles.

Only in front of Chen Yang would she reveal her lively, girlish side.

After playing for a while, the two of them ran out of game coins.

Li Ruoxue was holding three babies, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She glanced at a corner to the side.

There was a big pink machine there, one of those automatic photo booths for taking selfies.

"Let's go play that."

She pointed to the photo booth and made the request.

Chen Yang glanced at it.

"Officer Li, those are things little girls play with. Are you sure you want to film them?"

Li Ruoxue rolled her eyes at him.

"I beat you today. You promised to listen to me, so it's none of your business what I film."

She carried the doll and walked straight over in her high heels.

The machine has a unique design; it is covered by a thick velvet curtain on the outside, and inside is a small space that can only accommodate two people.

Li Ruoxue lifted the curtain and went inside.

Chen Yang followed him inside.

Once the curtain was drawn, most of the noise outside was blocked out.

The space inside was indeed very small; when the two of them stood inside, they were almost shoulder to shoulder.

The screen glowed with a soft light, displaying various cute filters and borders.

Li Ruoxue placed the doll on the table next to her and began selecting a photo frame on the screen.

"I'll choose this cat."

She selected a dynamic filter with cat ears and whiskers.

Chen Yang stood to the side, watching the two figures with cat ears appear on the screen.

"Your contrast is too great. If your colleagues at the police station knew that their aloof Captain Li likes this kind of thing, their jaws would probably drop."

Li Ruoxue glared at him.

"None of your business."

She pressed the button to prepare to take a picture.

"Ten seconds down, don't keep a straight face, smile a little."

The numbers on the screen began to count down.

Ten, nine, eight.

Li Ruoxue made a peace sign at the camera.

Chen Yang smiled obligingly.

Five, four, three.

Just as the countdown reached its final three seconds, Li Ruoxue lowered her hand that was making a peace sign.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Yang.

In the confined space, the ambiguous atmosphere was amplified infinitely.

Two, one.

At the very moment the shutter is pressed.

Li Ruoxue suddenly made a very bold move.
