As Aaron basks in happiness on Katrina"s smiling face, Katrina suddenly grabs Aaron"s arm and exclaims, "Aaron, the racing game is free. Let"s go!"She clutches his arm and pulls him in the direction of the game. The small action inadvertently makes Aaron feel warm. His face softens with a smile.
It seems all his efforts are worth it.
Katrina doesn"t notice what she is doing.
She has been thinking about playing the racing game for a long time. After seeing a lot of people playing it, she wants to try the game, but there are always many people waiting for their turn. Finally, seeing that the machine is free, her eyes light up, and she pulls Aaron without realizing the intimacy of her actions.
After inserting coins into the machine, Katrina starts to concentrate on driving. But she is such a terrible driver that she ends up dying in the game after playing for a few seconds. Either she rear-ends the car in front of her, or she drives into the lawn and turns the car over.
Aaron watches attentively and constantly directs her from the side. "Turn left… Turn right, turn sharply!"
Aaron"s directions don"t help at all because Katrina can"t distinguish left and right when she is in a hurry. After several cars are destroyed, he cannot bear to watch anymore.
"Stupid woman, let me do it!" He pulls Katrina out of the seat and replaces her. After putting coins in, he begins to drive.
Aaron drives steadily, deftly avoiding obstacles in an orderly fas.h.i.+on without any effort. Whether a car appears in front of him, or he needs to make an emergency turn, he can handle it with ease. As the speed becomes quicker and quicker, the game becomes more and more exciting.
Katrina is a little flabbergasted to see Aaron play the game so well. Every time Aaron is about to crash into a car in front of him, he is able to avoid it immediately.
She can"t believe this is his first time in an arcade. Compared to her, he is an excellent driver. The knowledge frustrates Katrina a lot.
Aaron doesn"t die despite the obstacles appearing in the game. After watching for a while, Katrina starts to get bored. She is still eager to try again, but Aaron seems to be having so much fun that he doesn"t give her a chance.
Katrina pokes Aaron with her finger. "Hey, you"ve been playing for so long, your arms must be tired. Let me try!"
Aaron sits still and keeps his eyes on the road conditions on the screen. "Road killers don"t have the right to speak."
Given Katrina"s driving skills, he is very worried about letting her drive alone. He wonders how on earth she was able to drive out of his villa back in Hadley City. Should he be secretly glad that she didn"t turn his car over?
Katrina is struck dumb by Aaron"s words. How dare he look down upon her driving skills! She mumbles unhappily, "You said you brought me here to play, but you"re playing alone."
When Aaron said that she could casually play because he has money, she was still a little moved. But in the end, he takes over the game and refuses to let her play. Aaron is really a shameless man.
At Katrina"s complaints, Aaron suddenly turns his head and kisses her on the face.
Katrina"s face suddenly turns red after feeling the soft touch on her cheek. She gapes at Aaron in disbelief. "You... "As soon as she"s distracted, he retakes advantage of her! They are in public. Katrina is so ashamed that she wants to dig herself a hole to hide in.
Suddenly, the screen flashes with the words GAME OVER. As the game progresses and the car speeds up, the road conditions become more complicated, leaving no room for distraction. When Aaron turns around to kiss Katrina, he puts himself in danger.
Aaron smiles lightly. "Sorry, I got distracted by the beauty on the roadside. I lost control and turned over," he says, surrendering the car to Katrina. "Your turn."
Katrina"s face is red with shame. She is no longer in the mood to play the game. "I got dizzy from watching you. I don"t want to play anymore," she says and stomps away.
Knowing she is embarra.s.sed, Aaron quickly follows her.
But they still have a lot of game coins left. While Aaron wonders what to do with the coins, they pa.s.s a row of clip doll machines.
A few young couples are playing. The men try to navigate the claw to pick up a doll. A girl"s arms full of plush toys, while other girls next to her look at her with envy and admiring eyes.
What other women have, his woman must also have. Inspired, Aaron wraps his arm around Katrina"s shoulder and leads her to the clip doll machines.
Aaron takes a look at the various plush toys inside the machine and asks confidently, "Which one do you want? I"ll get it for you."
Katrina knows that Aaron is playing the game for the first time and that winning a doll is very difficult. If everyone could easily win a doll, the arcade would lose money.
Although she doesn"t believe Aaron can do it, she doesn"t want to be obvious about it. She points at a white toy inside the machine. "The Baymax one."
The Baymax plush toy is located at the top of the pile. It should be relatively easy to catch. She doesn"t want to choose a difficult doll that would hurt Aaron"s enthusiasm and confidence if he doesn"t win it.
Aaron takes a look at her choice, inserts the game coins into the machine, and starts to control the b.u.t.ton and adjust the angle of the claw.
When the claw reaches the desired position, Aaron presses the b.u.t.ton with confidence, as if the doll already belongs to him.
But in the next second, the toy falls out of the claw, and he catches nothing.
Aaron"s expression is indescribable.
Seeing the deflated look on Aaron"s face, Katrina can"t help feeling amused. Not daring to laugh out loud, she keeps her amus.e.m.e.nt to herself.
Meanwhile, Aaron seems to be getting into a fight with the machine. He continues to insert game coins into the machine and controls the b.u.t.ton to win the Baymax toy.
But he fails several times.
When he first started playing the game, Aaron foolishly thought that it would be easy to win a toy for Katrina. His previous confident face suddenly turns a lot darker.
