DTBS – Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Kitty Regrets

"Problem with the claw? I think it's a problem with your technique!" Qin Qingshang shoved the large white cat into Tao Qiuyun's arms, turned, and walked towards the next claw machine, huffing. "Come here, I'll show you some real skill."

Tao Qiuyun placed the large white cat plushie into the cart next to the little shark, then obediently pushed the cart and followed.

【Hahahaha, oh my god, Sea King Qiu is too good with words】

【I feel like Sister Qin's head is about to smoke from anger】

【I'm reminded of that cat meme with fire on its head hahahaha】

【Save me, Sister Qiu, although what you said makes perfect sense, why are you being logical at a time like this? She clearly wants you to praise her】

【I hate that you're a block of wood!】

The arcade was huge, and claw machines were a popular attraction. Almost the entire floor was filled with them, in all shapes and sizes, packed tightly together. There were even staff patrolling, and if they found a machine with too few plushies or one that was hard to win from, they would immediately open it up and rearrange things to ensure the best customer experience.

"Your technique…" Bai Yunquan shook his head, just about to say something, when Meng Wuzhong, who was watching nearby, burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha, Yuyan, your skill level, even a dog would shake its head."

Bai Yunquan: …?

Jiang Lihe stood with Meng Wuzhong, and several girls had already given him strange looks, making him feel uncomfortable.

When had he, the dignified CEO Jiang, ever been scrutinized like this by women!

Next time they picked partners, he had to get to Qin Qingshang before that Qiuqiu person. He would let that woman know what "first come, first served" meant!

"How about that, are you convinced now?" Qin Qingshang crossed her arms, looking at the cart full of plush toys with satisfaction.

"I'm convinced," Tao Qiuyun apologized to her. "I underestimated Miss Qin. I hope Miss Qin can forgive me. I shouldn't have said it was just luck; you clearly rely on skill."

Her apology was both decisive and sincere, immediately smoothing the Cat's ruffled fur.

It was like stroking a big cat's head and continuing all the way down to its tailbone, making the Cat excitedly shake its fur.

With such praise, Qin Qingshang's mood instantly brightened. She said proudly, "This is just the beginning! Let's challenge something harder! Come on, I'll take you to try a different type of machine."

Like a queen cat surveying her territory, Qin Qingshang was always so at ease and confident in her area of expertise, her steps light and satisfied.

Claw machines didn't just have plushies; some also offered daily necessities as prizes, though these were usually more difficult to win.

Tao Qiuyun, being pulled by the sleeve by Qin Qingshang, brushed past a man in a brown jacket. A sour, unpleasant smell hit her nose, making her frown involuntarily.

"Did you smell that?" Tao Qiuyun asked Qin Qingshang. "That man who just passed by, he had a very unpleasant smell on him."

"Huh? I didn't notice." Qin Qingshang blinked, then suddenly remembered they were live streaming. Afraid Tao Qiuyun would be attacked by trolls in the comments, she quickly tried to fix it. "Maybe a little, yes. Perhaps he hasn't been home in a long time?"

【This person surnamed Qiu is so rude, judging others so casually】

【? Maybe you should look at what comment you just posted】

【What, she can do it but I can't say it?】

【Classic, so classic】

【Is it wrong to say something if someone has an odor in a public place?】

【Why are you so sure there was an odor? Qin Qingshang said she didn't notice at first】

【Hahahaha, for those saying our Sea King Qiu is rude, mind your own business? Don't interfere with the Sea King's affairs】

【I have social anxiety, let me do it, I won't just say it, I'll say it loudly】

【Sister Qiu was just complaining to her girlfriend, and this attracts trolls? I'm speechless. Sometimes being online alone is really helpless】

【What girlfriend! Don't ship my Sister with her, okay? Sea King, no way!】

【Fan Sister, don't be angry. I think Qin Qingshang likes her a lot. Before, when Sister Qiu confessed, your Sister's face turned red】

【Shut up! Shut up!】

【Heh, you're getting flustered】

"Look at Ming Siwen over there," Qin Qingshang didn't know that fans were helping her reject the Sea King. She poked the deep-in-thought Tao Qiuyun with her index finger. "She's been busy for ages and only got a bottle of cola."

Ming Siwen and Wu Shenfeng were also in this area. Ming Siwen used over twenty coins and only got a bottle of cola. Wu Shenfeng was even worse, dozens of coins completely wasted.

Qin Qingshang slowly rolled up her sleeves, her eyes full of fighting spirit. "It's time to watch me perform! I'm definitely going to win something big!"

The Cat was full of confidence.

"Ah… almost, almost, just a little bit more!"

"Go in! Go in!"

"Why did it go crooked again?"

"It's here! It's here! Qiuqiu, look!"

【Just by listening to the sound, I thought they were on the highway (dog head)】

【I am the highway】

【Lol, your image as a female star, Sister, you don't care about it at all, huh】

【Hahahaha, Sister Qin, so cute】

"Look!" Qin Qingshang took the small box from the prize chute, shook it in front of Tao Qiuyun, then held it in her hand, turning it over and examining it carefully. "What is this? The packaging looks so fancy, and it's all in foreign languages. Is this French?"

"Why aren't you talking? I'm asking you~" The relaxed Cat's voice was sweet.

"It's French." Tao Qiuyun finished speaking and immediately fell back into silence.

"Huh? What does this mean then? Can you understand it?" Qin Qingshang's thought process was simple: Tao Qiuyun went to Paris for a business trip before, so she should understand French, right?

"I can understand a little bit." The woman nodded stiffly.

"Then explain it to me?" The Cat was expectant.

"This… which sentence do you want to know?" Tao Qiuyun raised a hand to push up her glasses, seemingly trying to hide something.

"This sentence, the longest one." The Cat shook the item in her hand, her eyes bright and full of curiosity.

"Ahem," Tao Qiuyun cleared her throat. "Don't you want to pick a different sentence?"

"Let's go sentence by sentence~ Learn French with Qiuqiu!" The Cat was adorable.

"Free your hands," Tao Qiuyun stared at the woman in front of her, trying hard to keep her face straight. "Eight minutes, take you to the peak of pleasure."

Qin Qingshang felt all the hairs on her body stand up. Her fingers trembled. This item was like a hot potato, impossible to hold onto, and it instantly slipped down.

Tao Qiuyun quickly caught it for her. She pursed her lips. "Do you want me to continue translating?"

"Is… is it what I think it is?" A faint blush crept onto Qin Qingshang's face.

"What do you think it is?"

"You!" The Cat was so angry she punched her shoulder, her face red. "What do you think I think it is!"

"If you don't say it, how would I know what you think it is?" The woman's expression was serious.

"I… it's, it's that thing, that thing between couples…" Qin Qingshang stammered. "I can't say anymore, I'm afraid the live stream will be shut down."

【Save me! Hahahaha, why would an arcade have something like this? Give me the address】

【It's originally in the daily necessities section, didn't you notice they're not in the children's area anymore? What's wrong with having something a bit stimulating at night here (dog head)】

【I checked the translation, the original meaning is: Free your hands, within eight minutes make you the most satisfied woman tonight. Sea King Qiu did some artistic processing (smirk)】

【Pass it on, Sea King Qiu wants to take Sister Qin to the highest peak】

【Hahahahahahaha save me, give me some oxygen, do you know what it's like to have altitude sickness and laugh hysterically at the same time?】

【Imagine Sister Qiu saying with a straight face that she wants to make Sister Qin the most satisfied woman, ahhhhhh can you please do it right now, do it in front of me, don't treat me like a human, please!】

【CP fans, don't be too outrageous! The whole country is watching!】

"This!" The Cat was shocked. "This is actually that? But how…"

"How?"

"How can you not tell at all!" Qin Qingshang gritted her teeth.

After all, if she could tell from the picture, she wouldn't have asked Tao Qiuyun.

These things nowadays, why are they made so cute! Are you French people this romantic?

Save me, this is live streaming right now! This part won't become the highlight of this variety show, will it?

Wuwuwu, someone save me, she doesn't want to trend because of this.

This prosperous age ultimately did not go as Qin Cat wished. #QinQingshangAdultProduct was already trending first, followed by an "Explosive" tag.

"Can't tell?" Tao Qiuyun pondered, then comforted her. "Perhaps it's because this one is wireless. The ones you usually see are wired."

"I don't usually see wired ones either!" The Cat was furious, her eyes red with anger.

"Sorry, I wasn't talking about you," Tao Qiuyun quickly apologized, handing the item in her hand to her. "Do you still want it?"

"No!" Qin Qingshang felt her face must be completely red. She quickly pushed the woman's hand away. "G-Give it to you."

"Okay." Tao Qiuyun nodded and accepted it.

Qin Qingshang was startled by her. "You, you really want it?"

Actually, she wanted to ask, "You're not really going to use it, are you?" But considering it was a live stream, she changed her wording.

"Mm," the woman smiled and nodded, naturally understanding her hidden meaning. She added, "I'll keep it for now. When there's a chance later, I'll study it with my wife."

Qin Qingshang ground her teeth, really wanting to curse, "Dream on, I'd die before I'd study this kind of thing with you!"

However, she rationally reined in her surging emotions and twitched the corner of her mouth:

"Then, then I wish you find a good wife."

"Thank you, she must be the best."

"L-Let's continue. Let's switch to a different machine this time, this one is no good!" The Cat turned around, puffing out her cheeks.

Tao Qiuyun smiled and followed with the small cart. As she turned, the man in the brown jacket appeared in her sight again: he was walking towards a machine, his rolled-up sleeve revealing a section of his arm with some marks on it.

The woman's eyes flickered. Seeing him operate the machine, his jacket swaying with his movements, she had a guess in her heart.

"This time we…" Qin Qingshang hadn't finished speaking when Tao Qiuyun suddenly stepped forward and covered her mouth, then reached out and turned off her microphone.

The Cat: ?!

Comments: !!

Tao Qiuyun raised her hand and turned off her own microphone as well. She put an arm around Qin Qingshang's shoulder, leading her towards a claw machine, and said softly, "Miss Qin, regarding the report application for my continuous physical contact with you, I will submit it later along with the previous ones. For now, just listen to me."

"What do you want to say?" Qin Qingshang asked in an equally low voice. "Some netizens in the live stream might be able to read lips."

"It's okay, we're very close now, they might not see clearly. Lean your head closer." Tao Qiuyun's hand on the woman's shoulder moved up, pressing her head, making her lean closer.

Her voice deepened slightly. "Did you see the man I mentioned earlier? Just now I noticed marks on his arm left by a syringe. Those aren't just ordinary scars; they're keloids, left by long-term syringe use."

"What kind of person uses syringes long-term? Is he sick?" Qin Qingshang craned her neck to look. "He seems to have very dark circles under his eyes."

"Don't look around," pressing the Cat's head down, Tao Qiuyun's gaze became sharp. "Do you remember the Night of Stars event before? The drug you were injected with was actually sold by a drug trafficking group. Through Fang Yu, I know those people also cooperate with foreign countries; it's cross-border crime, even involving firearms."

"And that man's back is slightly bulging. His jacket hangs differently from a normal one. I suspect he has a handgun tucked behind his back…"

"Ah?!" The Cat exclaimed, then seeing the people around look over, she immediately put on an act, pushing the woman in front of her away coyly, whining softly and playfully, "Ugh! What are you doing! Don't kiss me in public~ Let's do this at home."

Tao Qiuyun: …

Wu Shenfeng and Ming Siwen, who happened to be passing by and heard: ?

Comments: I heard that sentence, but what about before? What did you say before! How did you end up kissing?

Others: Damn dog couple! We hate it when you show off your affection regardless of the occasion!
