My Youth Began With Him-Webnovel

“Yeah. Can you play it? If you can’t grab one, I’ll help you,” An coaxed Lu Yan.

He truly took Dr. Huo’s younger sister as a young girl. Knowing she had just returned from abroad, he wanted to show her something fun.

Lu Yan stared at An for three seconds and said, “Oh. You go and play the claw machines; I’ll go and play the slot machine.”

That said, she took a few tokens from his hand and went the other way.

An was embarrassed. After all, he had suggested the claw machine because he thought all girls liked it; how could he go and play it himself?

With his head lowered, An followed Lu Yan silently with a pile of tokens in his palms.

As the biggest arcade hall in the city, this place had lots of people and employees.

There were dozens of slot machines and many young people who looked to be underaged kids were playing with obsessed eyes.

Lu Yan glanced at the tags on the slot machines and found that there were no prizes listed on them.

She beckoned at an employee.

“Handsome, which slot machine has the highest prize?” Lu Yan asked.

“The machine over there has the highest prize.” The employee pointed at one machine.

“How much is it?”

“According to the boss, the highest prize is 100,000 yuan. But in the two years since this hall was opened, no one has won the prize yet; the highest one people got was a prize of 30,000 yuan.”

“100,000 yuan? That’s very, very low,” Lu Yan complained. Since her voice wasn’t loud, the employee didn’t hear it.

“Anything else I can do for you?”

“No. Thank you, Handsome.” Lu Yan walked to that slot machine.

“Beauty, wait.” The employee stopped her probably due to her stunning good looks.

“Yes?” Lu Yan looked back at him.

“The machine has the highest prize but also high odds of swallowing your money. It means that you have to lose a lot of money before you can have a chance to win money from it. So, no one wants to play it. I suggest you play the fruit machines. They don’t have high prices, but you have higher odds of winning.”

“Thank you. I won’t put too many tokens in it, so I won’t lose lots of money.”

Lu Yan smiled at him and continued walking toward that slot machine which had no one playing.

Seeing Lu Yan would play the slot machines, An suddenly realized that the 100 yuan of tokens would be gone in one second.

Everyone knew that slot machines swallowed money; if one got addicted to them, he’d not be able to walk away without losing thousands of yuan.

An turned back and bought 3,000 yuan of tokens with WeChat pay so Lu Yan could enjoy herself. After all, President Su had instructed him to take good care of her.

“Sis, this machine is rigged. It always swallows tokens and never spits out one. I think the boss of the arcade did something with it. The regular customers all know it. You’d better find another machine to play.”

The moment Lu Yan sat down, a youth of about 15 years old playing at the machine next to hers warned her.

“It’s okay. I like challenges.” Lu Yan chuckled.

“Fine…” Seeing she wouldn’t take his kindly given advice, the youth turned his head away and ignored her.

Coming back with a basket of tokens, An bought two flavors of fruit juice for Lu Yan when he passed the beverage zone.

Taking the change, he walked toward Lu Yan with the drinks.

Then he heard an uproar…

“Fu*k! The machine exploded,” someone yelled, and then everyone ran to Lu Yan’s side.

The whole hall was filled with the music of the slot machine when a big prize was won. An suddenly felt that it must be Huo Mian’s weird younger sister who had just won the prize.
