Chapter 96: First Prize

Lyca felt her face turned hot. She immediately turned her head away, trying to hide the blush creeping on her neck. She gulped and kept quiet until the heat on her face disappeared.

This situation wasvery unfavorable to her. Lyca's eyes roamed around the stalls and booths, trying to find a place where she could drag this man inside. Unfortunately for her, everywhere was packed with people and children. She frowned at the knot inside her stomach.

"They're done. We should go and play." Huang Xiaoxuan almost jumped with excitement as she ran towards the stall. In front of them are booths with different games, but all the prizes were the same. "Balloon pop!" Huang Xiaoxuan pointed at the second booth with darts and balloons.

"Good Afternoon, youngsters." An older man smiled. "Ten darts for five Yuan."

Long Yi immediately took his wallet and paid for twenty darts while Shen Qui paid for ten. Without saying anything, Long Yi walked towards the platform that has all the balloons. And shoot the darts. One by one, the balloons pop, making the old man's eyes so wide, his mouth dropped on the floor.

"This… dear youngster…" The old man immediately approached Long Yi the moment he finished shooting twenty darts. Having someone like Long Yi was not very good for his business. So, he wanted him to disappear immediately. "Dear sir… for the prize…"

"Let her choose." Long Yi immediately pointed at Lyca. 

"Oh!" Lyca smiled. "All the small ones." Long Yi hit the balloons, which was about fifteen feet away from him. And this would only qualify them for the smaller and medium-sized stuffed toys.

"Twenty small ones?" the old man confirmed. 

"Yes."

He immediately gathered all the small stuff toys and handed it to Lyca.

"No. Him," Lyca said. Her point was simple, let Long Yi bring the stuffed toys. Would she really carry all that all by herself? Lyca would never do that. By now, they have gathered the attention of a few people. After all, it wasn't normal for someone to just hit all twenty balloons that were about fifteen feet away from them. So, many girls immediately started looking at Long Yi, their eyes full of unmasked infatuation. 

"You— You wanted him to carry it?" the old man hesitated. 

"Yes." She only smiled and poke at Shen Qui's arm, telling him to aim for the first prize, which was on the moving balloon. The first prize would qualify them for one big stuff toy. Seeing Lyca turned her attention to Shen Qui, Long Yi gritted his teeth, but he still chose to keep his calm. Was he supposed to carry all twenty small stuff toys? He had been too quick to shoot the darts that he had actually forgotten to ask the man which one would give him the biggest stuffed toy.

He immediately blamed this on his desire to show off in front of Lyca. 

Seeing Long Yi stared at the stuffed toys, Huang Xiaoxuan sighed and approached him. "I can… I can carry the others." She uttered.

"Carry everything!" Long Yi hissed and turned towards Shen Qui, who just missed his first shot. He immediately snorted. Even if the balloons were moving, hitting it was still so easy. What kind of soldier would miss that shot? And this man really dared to train Lyca how to shoot?

Of course, he wasn't aware that Shen Qui and even Lyca were both hiding their real strength. After all, they now have the identity of the ultimate killer from the Tang Family. The two already killed that man from Xie City using that identity. Moreover, the researcher from the Long Family as well as some of their elites also died in Lyca's hand. They needed to be careful around people like Long Yi. To hide this fact, the two agreed to keep their abilities hidden. 

After his fifth try, Shen Qui finally hit it. Lyca beamed and patted Shen Qui's shoulder before she turned towards Huang Xiaoxuan and Long Yi. "We lost." She smiled and held her hand towards Shen Qui. The latter immediately took her wallet from his pocket and gave it to her. Lyca actually asked him to bring her wallet earlier as she found it too heavy. Lyca wanted to bring cards, but Shen Qui told her it would be good to use cash as some stalls only accept cash and coins. Because of this, Lyca asked him to withdraw money and made him carry a wallet full of coins.

"Here. For your food." She handed the money to Huang Xiaoxuan as Shen Qui picked his prize from the old man. It was a huge brown bear that was almost half of Shen Qui's height. He carelessly flung it to his shoulders as he walked towards her. 

Long Yi got more irritated. He felt that Shen Qui was rubbing some salt to his wound. He should have chosen the first prize! First and foremost, carrying one big stuff toy was easier than twenty small ones. He immediately blamed the dumb Huang Xiaoxuan for this mishap.

"Food," Lyca said. "Let's eat." She only ate some eggs earlier, and watching Shen Qui made hungry. She needed to satisfy this hunger as soon as possible.

"The food stalls should be at the back." Shen Qui said and held his hand so Lyca could grab it. He then looked at Long Yi. "It's going to get crowded as we walked towards the food stalls. You should hold each other's hands. So you won't get lost." Both Shen Qui and Long Yi was about six foot tall, so it would be easy to find them in the middle of the crowd. But Lyca and Huang Xiaoxuan are both around five foot six. If they got lost, it would be hard to find them with all these people around. 

Lyca held Shen Qui's hands, and before Long Yi could protest, they already disappeared into the crowd.

"Mr. Long…"

"If you get lost then you can go home of your own." Long Yi said and left Huang Xiaoxuan alone. He doesn't really care about this foolish woman. He wanted to go with Lyca and Shen Qui and try to talk to her about last night. However, he never had the chance as Shen Qui always stood by her side. This made him more and more irritated, he felt like choking someone.
