Chapter 53: Chapter 53: I'm a bit dizzy.

Many snack shops on Snack Street had shot commercials.

As soon as they saw Xu Musen and his group, they were immediately greeted with enthusiasm, and were offered snacks to eat as they pleased.

The two sisters hadn't stopped eating along the way, and An Nannan's originally wary little eyes also started to clear up, happily shaking her ponytails as she ate.

At the same time, she would occasionally sneak glances at Xu Musen.

Everyone on the street was very enthusiastic towards him, even offering them all sorts of delicious snacks for free.

In the little girl's mind, this was something incredibly impressive...

Her small head even flashed with some thoughts for a moment.

If he could take her and her sister out every day, does that mean she could eat so many delicious snacks every day?

But the next moment, she shook her little head vigorously.

No, no!

How could she betray her own sister for just a little bit of food?

Her little face wore an expression of lingering fear, and when she looked at Xu Musen, she wrinkled her little nose.

This enchanting demon!

"Want to eat, huh? Here, you have it."

Realizing he was the focus of her gaze, Xu Musen thought she was craving the roasted sweet potato he was holding and handed it to her with a smile.

An Nannan's grin instantly brightened; she twitched her little nose, glanced at his sunny smile, and pursed her chubby little lips...

To protect her sister from this guy's temptation, from now on, the "temptation" of this demon could only be borne by her!

She took the roasted sweet potato, took a big bite, and immediately her eyes squinted in bliss.

Afterward, the three of them passed by a mall, where the entrance to the electronic entertainment arcade caught their attention.

The four walked over and approached the counter to exchange for game tokens.

An Nannan opened her little purse, imitating the person in front of her, she took out a hundred-yuan bill, and spread it out on the counter.

She was on her tiptoes due to her short height, her bright big eyes making her look endearing.

In a crisp voice, she said, "Some game tokens, and two tubs of popcorn!"

This scene made onlookers reminisce about a character from a work of fiction.

The counter lady was also beaming, exchanging the tokens and two tubs of popcorn, filling them to the brim for her.

Then, holding the game tokens in her small hand, she put some in her pocket and gave the other half to Xu Musen.

"Here you go."

It was as if she was settling her debt for the snacks she just had.

The arcade was large, its dazzling array of equipment catching one's eye.

Every time An Nuannuan wanted to join Xu Musen in a game, the little girl would squeeze in.

Xu Musen had no choice but to give up his place, resignedly.

After playing for a while, An Nuannuan saw the basketball game machine and her eyes lit up; she tugged at Xu Musen's sleeve, "I want to play this."

Xu Musen looked and understood; during PE class, she would always watch others play sports.

Always sitting in a wheelchair, she truly envied the feeling of being able to hop and jump around playing basketball.

"Okay."

Just as Xu Musen was about to insert coins, An Nannan rushed over, "Sister, I want to play this with you!"

Saying so, An Nannan started tossing basketballs into the hoop, but out of ten throws, only two went in.

"Ah, I'm so clumsy…" An Nannan turned back, looking for consolation from her sister.

An Nuannuan just smiled and stroked her head.

Xu Musen looked contemplative, then winked at He Qiang.

Initially, He Qiang was unwilling, but after seeing the two fingers Xu Musen held up, he cleared his throat and approached the little lightbulb, An Nannan.

"Hey little sister, want to compete against big brother for a bit of fun?"

An Nannan was reluctant to leave her sister, but when she heard about the competition, her competitive spirit was ignited.

With kids, a little provocation always did the trick.

"Just you?" she said, tilting up her chin.

"Well, well!"

He Qiang rolled up his sleeves, ready to show his gaming prowess. He might not be richer than her, but when it came to games, the ace shot in the transport industry wasn't afraid of anyone!

"If I lose, I'll call you 'sister'!"

"Deal!"

The little girl hummed and began competing with He Qiang on the surrounding gaming equipment.

Xu Musen sighed to himself, realizing his buddy was truly reliable when needed.

"Nuannuan, let me teach you how to play this," he said.

"Okay!"

An Nuannuan held the basketball, aiming at the hoop which was only a meter or two away.

But she aimed for a long time and, summoning her strength, she threw.

Thud, it didn't even touch the net.

An Nuannuan puffed her cheeks, and Xu Musen couldn't help but chuckle, "Let me teach you. Actually, if you're not shooting accurately, you can try the motion of holding a chamber pot and throwing it out..."

As Xu Musen spoke, he gently stretched out his hand and gave An Nuannuan a demonstration.

She tried several times but still couldn't make the shot and looked at Xu Musen with a bit of grievance, holding the ball.

"Let me help you."

Xu Musen bent down behind her and gently lifted her arms, which were as soft as if they had no bones at all.

Xu Musen leaned in close to her ear, gently adjusting the direction of her arms, while explaining the technique of shooting.

However, An Nuannuan felt a warmth at her ear at that moment, his voice lingering, and she always felt a kind of... strange sensation.

She turned to look at Xu Musen's profile, clean and bright, with not a hint of greasiness, very comforting to look at.

"Come."

At that moment, Xu Musen spoke, controlling her arms to throw the ball.

"Ding~"

Score!

Watching the basketball drop accurately into the net.

An Nuannuan's dazed, peach blossom eyes blinked happily, her cheeks slightly pink, "I want to play again."

"Then try it yourself like I taught you just now."

But An Nuannuan seemed a bit disappointed and said oh with the ball in her hands for a second or two, then looked towards Xu Musen, "Could you teach me one more time?"

"Of course, no problem."

Xu Musen bent down again, and An Nuannuan's unique baby-soft scent entered Xu Musen's nostrils, making him feel especially at ease as well.

An Nuannuan aimed at the hoop; this time she took the initiative, putting force into her throw.

"Ding~"

Another ball in!

"Xu Musen, you were really accurate," said An Nuannuan happily, looking up at him.

Xu Musen coughed, whatever vulgar words he had in mind.

And as she looked up like that, a bit of her collarbone showed through the gap in her clothing.

Hmm... She definitely has a natural talent for ball games.

Xu Musen quickly turned his head, "Then you go ahead and play by yourself."

"And you?"

"I'm getting a bit dizzy from the ball." Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As he said this, Xu Musen deliberately missed two shots, taking a drink of water to shift his attention.

Meanwhile, He Qiang was breaking into a sweat on the other side, as he and An Nannan also played the basketball game.

Though An Nannan had been quite weak before, she managed to get nine out of ten balls in this time!

He Qiang, however, only made three or four shots, his dark face turning red with frustration.

"Haha, you lost!"

"This... I just don't like playing basketball. Dare to try something else?"

"Hmph, who's afraid of whom!"

Both of them acted like children, starting to play other things.

Xu Musen watched the spirited little girl and shook his head with a smile, but his sleeve was tugged again.

An Nuannuan started to speak somewhat hesitantly.

"Xu Musen, actually, my sister is very well-behaved. Just now she only..."

"She was just trying to spare your feelings as her older sister, so she rushed to shoot the ball and even intentionally missed, right?" Xu Musen said with an understanding smile.

An Nuannuan was also holding the basketball, nodding at his smile.

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty. Plus, for her to think that way is really sensible and cute. She's worthy of being Nuannuan's sister."

Xu Musen's voice was warm, and he took the opportunity to compliment An Nuannuan as well.

An Nuannuan's eyes sparkled softly, and hearing such words, her little heart seemed to skip a beat.

Clutching the basketball, she looked at him again, "What about you? Were you also going easy on me just now?"

Xu Musen coughed, as he was really feeling a bit parched, and one more glance would have made him explode.

This young body of his was still too sensitive.

"Of course not, I'm actually really bad at shooting hoops."

Having finished a bottle of water, Xu Musen tossed it casually into a small trash bin three or four meters away in the corner.

Clang...

Right in the basket!

"Let's play something else," he said, turning to point at a gaming machine nearby.

An Nuannuan looked at the distance to the trash bin and then at his figure, her usually dazed peach blossom eyes now shimmering.

"Liar..."
