Chapter 317 Summer Never Stops
If there were a regret pill in this world, the boss would definitely take one.
Since he chose to go back on his word, why didn't he do it more thoroughly?
His eyes stared straight at the front-right—on the laptop's packaging box, another plastic ring appeared. It was exactly the same as the one before. In fact, the ring once again landed at the center of the box, perfectly overlapping with the previous mark.
This...
What the hell!!!
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow with a cheerful smile. "Boss, did you see clearly this time?"
Boss: "..."
At this moment, he wanted to cry!
Why~~~
How could such an outrageous thing happen twice in a row? It defies all logic!
Seeing the boss's face turn blue as he remained silent, Ye Fan picked up another ring with his right hand, flicked his wrist, and once again landed it right on target.
Boss: "..."
Three… three times.
If once or twice could be considered luck, then landing it three times in a row—there's no way it's just luck.
He'd run into a tough one!!!
Ning Xi clutched tightly at the hem of Ye Fan's T-shirt with her small hand, her starry eyes sparkling. Her soft, milky voice was filled with joy. "Gege, how… did you do that?"
Ye Fan smiled without answering. He didn't explain right away. Seeing that there were still two rings left, he picked one up with his right hand, threw it—and hit the target.
The whole process was fluid, seamless, and exceptionally smooth.
"Just like that."
"Wow!"
The girl gasped in disbelief. "So, so amazing!"
Boss: "..."
At this point, he looked at the three rings on the laptop box and couldn't help but begin to question his entire life.
"Boss, do you have anything else to say this time?"
As Ye Fan's calm voice rang out, the boss slowly came back to his senses. His face alternated between green and red. Deeply conflicted, he finally drooped his head in defeat, shook it, and handed the laptop over to Ye Fan.
Done.
Today, he accepted his misfortune!
Ye Fan took the laptop, let out a low chuckle, and teased, "I thought the boss would still go back on his word. Didn't expect you to be so straightforward this time. Honestly, it's a bit hard to get used to."
Boss: "..."
Taking the win and still talking trash—shrimp and pig heart! (T/N: pun for "heartless" in Chinese internet slang.)
"Ahem—"
The boss's slightly chubby face stiffened into a smile. He rubbed his hands together, pointed northward, and spoke in a low voice: "Bro, doing business these days isn't easy, especially small ones like mine. About two hundred meters that way, there's a luxury goods ring toss—go there instead."
"Boss, everything has its risks. There's no such thing as guaranteed profit."
Su Mo gave a light smile and threw the last ring in her hand. It flew out and precisely landed on a ladies' shoulder bag in the last row.
"Wow, another hit!"
Ning Xi transformed into a little fangirl, her eyes sparkling with light.
Five rings, five hits.
100% success rate!
So impressive…
The boss's face turned pitch black. That ladies' shoulder bag was the second most valuable item at his stall. A hundred yuan to take away nearly thirty thousand yuan's worth of goods—he'd taken a huge loss.
Ye Fan held the laptop in his left hand, took Ning Xi's hand in his right, and without saying anything, turned and walked away.
The boss was dumbfounded, watching Ye Fan and Ning Xi's figures grow smaller and smaller. His expression was extremely complicated.
——
Under the awning at the fruit stall.
Ning Xi held a coconut, sipping it in small gulps. Her eyes kept sneaking glances at Ye Fan, only to quickly look away each time.
That sneaky, shy behavior was just too adorable.
All of the girl's little actions were completely caught by Ye Fan. Looking at her delicate and fair earlobes, he couldn't help but lean in and tease in a low voice: "If you want to look, just look openly. I already belong to you anyway."
"Pfft… cough cough…"
Such flirtatious words made the girl choke on the coconut water she had just sipped, coughing continuously.
Ye Fan panicked and quickly patted Ning Xi's slender back. Watching her face flush from being choked, he took the initiative to apologize: "My fault, my fault. Are you okay?"
"I'm… cough, I'm fine."
Ning Xi put down the coconut and said softly: "If you want to murder me, you don't have to go to all that trouble. And also—you're not mine. Stop talking nonsense all the time!"
Seeing that she had stopped coughing, Ye Fan let out a sigh of relief. But upon hearing Ning Xi's last sentence, he became a bit unhappy and asked back: "If I'm not yours, then why did you steal my heart?"
Ning Xi: "..."
This bad guy!
Please stop already… she really couldn't handle it!
"I-I didn't…"
Ning Xi's little face turned red. Combined with the hot weather, her fair forehead was soon covered in a fine layer of sweat. She pouted and said shyly, "Gege, stop teasing me already. You do this all the time—aren't you tired of it?"
"Nope."
Ye Fan replied lightly.
Ning Xi, feeling helpless, could only change the subject and ask, "Gege, aren't we going home for lunch?"
It was already almost noon, but Ye Fan didn't seem to have any intention of taking her home.
"Why go home?"
Ye Fan picked up the coconut Ning Xi had been drinking and sipped from the same straw without changing it.
Ning Xi noticed and her eyes curved slightly. "To eat, of course. If nothing unexpected happens, Aunty will be calling soon."
Ye Fan shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Xiao Xi, how about making a bet with me?"
"No bet! No bet!"
As soon as she heard the word "bet," the girl's head shook like a rattle drum.
Are you kidding?
She had sworn before—if she ever bet with Ye Fan again, she'd be a puppy!
Every single time she bet with him, she lost—every time without fail. So when Ye Fan mentioned a bet again, she refused decisively.
This made Ye Fan, who had already come up with a plan, feel quite helpless.
This girl was getting harder and harder to fool!
He sighed and said, "Before three in the afternoon, my mom won't call."
Ning Xi propped her chin with her small hand, her eyes spinning. She quickly figured out what Ye Fan meant, and her autumn-like eyes lowered slightly with a hint of shyness. "Then… where are we going next?"
Ye Fan gently stroked Ning Xi's silky hair and smiled: "It's lunchtime, and I can't let Xiao Xi go hungry. There's a famous snack street not far from here. Gege's treating—eat all you want!"
The girl spat softly and pouted: "What, you think I'm a pig? That's too much!"
"What are you muttering about?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Seeing Ye Fan looking over, Ning Xi quickly shook her head. She turned to glance at the big bags behind them. In the past hour or so, Ye Fan had taken her to almost every stall nearby and taught every boss a lesson.
As a result, this boy-girl duo had been blacklisted by all the vendors.
Ning Xi thought for a bit and suggested: "Gege, carrying all this stuff around is inconvenient. Let's just go home for lunch. Besides, it's really hot today."
"Alright."
Ye Fan nodded with a smile and pulled out his phone to order a car online.
In Ning Xi's starry eyes, ripples shimmered as she gently leaned her head on Ye Fan's shoulder, dimples blooming at the corners of her lips.
Summer never stops, and the heart stays forever fervent…
