Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 297 - 296: Making Up

Ye Zhi, with a touch of arrogance, glanced at the crowd beside her, carefully tossing out another ring.

"Thud~"

The small ring tilted and landed next to the little tiger.

Missed again...

The nearby audience expressed their regrets, thinking this golden boy and jade girl duo would both be impressive, but unexpectedly, only the young boy seemed a bit luckier~

Ye Zhi’s face felt a bit hot, she handed the last ring to Shen Chen: "You do it, win more and take them back."

For five coins, they had ten rings; now only six are left.

So far, their only prize is a crane.

Shen Chen took the ring from the slender jade-like hand, turned around, and aimed at the various small animals he wanted — little tiger, little rabbit, little horse, little sheep — tossing them consecutively.

The crowd let out light exclamations.

"Hitting the target with every throw" is an apt description of the scene.

The small rings, palm-sized for an adult male, made of bamboo and hemp rope, quietly lay on the ground.

The small animals lay one by one in the center of the rings.

The square-faced owner, about forty-something, stood stiff with wide eyes, incredulous.

This, this, this...

It’s his first time encountering such a situation.

The rings had been modified by him, with a different arc from normal ones. Plus, they are light and the distance is far, he hadn’t encountered any experts during his years running this stall.

Even if by chance there was an expert, without studying these, they wouldn’t realize there was anything amiss.

Yet this young boy, who was still growing, managed to land six rings...

The square-faced owner stood aside, unwilling to gather up the animals won by them.

Ye Zhi’s phoenix eyes sparkled, and she beamed with delight, pulling her little partner and bouncing lightly in place: "Wow, Xiao Chen, you’re amazing, you got six of them at once, they’re all so cute, I love them."

Such luck, she’d have to practice for several lifetimes to achieve.

Shen Chen threw the rings for the animals she liked, how could the little girl not like them...

Receiving the praise, he felt a little shy inside, while outwardly remaining calm and composed, as if it were a usual occurrence: "As long as you like them, let’s take them all back." His childish voice held a hint of delight.

"Okay." Ye Zhi was all smiles, eager to touch them sooner.

But, the owner hadn’t brought them over...

She called out to the disgruntled owner: "Hey, owner, why haven’t you brought them to us yet? Hurry up, these are all the ones we won."

The square-faced owner, in his short gray robe, reluctantly responded: "Oh."

Walking very slowly, very slowly, he went to fetch them.

The crowd murmured quietly:

"This owner, how ungenerous, the little boy won fair and square, yet his face looks like a bitter melon, while my kid has spent dozens of coins here and never won once."

"My kid won a little horse, but it cost thirty coins~"

"Spent twenty coins and didn’t win anything."

...

People who don’t know each other, once they find a common topic, they start chatting.

In groups of twos and threes, they discussed.

The owner found himself short seven lifelike handcrafted animals and still hadn’t composed himself.

The crowd, inspired by Shen Chen, with kids in hand, lined up to pay and buy rings, trying to win some back like he did. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The owner, who had looked lifeless just moments ago, now beamed with delight as business boomed, taking money and doing business one after another...

He didn’t even notice the young boy and girl had quietly left.

When Shen Chen and Ah Zhi returned to the Ye Mansion, Lu He and Zhao Jun, having seemingly resolved their issues, were back to their usual bickering.

The atmosphere was one of peace.
