Chapter 92 Decision
Xia Qing was also stunned, and then exclaimed with delight, "Another win, haha, Qin Hao you're amazing."
As she spoke, her eyes were full of admiration.
Qin Hao smiled and said to the vendor, "Vendor, hand over the money."
The vendor walked over and said, "A deal's a deal, take it Qian brothers, ring toss success, two yuan a ring, if you can land the big prize, we'll definitely pay out."
"Vendor, give me fifty yuan's worth," someone said from not too far away.
"Same for me, fifty yuan's worth."
Because Qin Hao had won a big prize, he had sparked the interest of many people around, and their competitive nature became apparent.
The vendor breathed a sigh of relief, as in a short while he had sold several hundred yuan's worth of rings.
Qin Hao turned to Xia Qing and asked, "Is there anything else you like?"
Xia Qing shook her head, "No more, how about you try for another big prize?"
Upon hearing this, the vendor staggered and almost fell, he glanced at Qin Hao then turned back to selling plastic rings.
Qin Hao laughed and said, "Those big prizes aren't so easy to win."
After he finished speaking, he threw another plastic ring, aiming again for the big prize.
This time the plastic ring hit the rim of the crystal glass and didn't land the prize, but it was very close.
"Ah, so close to winning," Xia Qing said with slight regret.
Qin Hao glanced at the vendor, then said to Xia Qing with a smile, "Let's go, let's check out over there."
Xia Qing nodded, "Mm-hmm, alright."
Seeing Qin Hao walk away, the vendor breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for his quick thinking; otherwise, he might have lost five hundred yuan.
He could tell that Qin Hao really had the skill to win and it wasn't just luck. Encountering such a tough customer, he'd have to discreetly give them some money to send them on their way.

If the customer appreciated the gesture, they might leave; if not, they could keep winning until it hurt his business.
After leaving that stall, Qin Hao took out his money and counted it, totaling twelve hundred yuan.
The vendor had given him two hundred more than expected, and although Qin Hao hadn't played this game before, he roughly understood what it meant.
This kind of business just makes a small few thousand yuan a day, all needed to support a family, so he hadn't played too harshly.
Xia Qing asked curiously, "Why is there an extra two hundred yuan?"
Qin Hao said with a smile, "The vendor gave extra, hinting that I shouldn't win again next time."
Xia Qing had an epiphany, "So you deliberately didn't win the third time?"
Qin Hao replied, "Business is hard for everyone, so I'm okay with just a bit of earning. If it were a dishonest business, I definitely wouldn't have shown any appreciation."
Xia Qing giggled and said, "You really are a good person."
The two walked for a while, passing several nearby stalls with ring toss games that were attracting plenty of players.
With such a large flow of people around here, these vendors made good money every day.
But the cost of setting up in such a place was, of course, also significant.
As they walked and looked around, Xia Qing was holding a small cage, occasionally teasing the little white rabbit inside.
"Qin Hao, what's that game up ahead?" Xia Qing asked, pointing ahead.
Qin Hao walked over with her, and it turned out to be a bean bag toss game, six bags for ten yuan.
A few meters in front, six rows of shelves were lined up, each laden with equally smile-inducing plush toys.
If you knocked down six toys with the six bean bags, you'd win the first prize, five toys for second prize, and one to four toys for third prize.
The first prize was a life-sized plush toy, very big.
The second prize was smaller, and the third prize was a small, inexpensive souvenir.
Qin Hao looked at Xia Qing and asked, "Do you see something you like?"
Xia Qing pointed to a relatively large plush toy in the middle and said, "I like that light brown teddy bear."
Qin Hao said with a smile, "You like it, then I'll win it for you."
Having finished speaking, he said to the owner, "Boss, ten bucks' worth of beanbags, please."
After paying, the owner handed him six beanbags.
Qin Hao didn't throw immediately; he first looked at the people around him—the beanbags were of average weight.
The plush toys on the rack were not ordinary toys; they seemed to be slightly modified.
As long as the aim was true and the force was enough, it was still possible to knock them down.
Qin Hao observed for a moment, then started to throw. His beanbag struck one of the toys on the head, shaking it loose.
The force of this hit was barely enough, just managing to knock it down.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Qin Hao threw the five remaining beanbags in succession, knocking down five more toys.
Xia Qing nearly jumped with excitement, "Six, we've won the first prize!"
The owner smiled and asked, "Which plush toy does the young lady like?"
Xia Qing quickly said, "That slightly yellow teddy bear."
The owner handed over the life-sized teddy bear to Xia Qing, and as she hugged it, it almost covered her entirely.
Qin Hao: "Let me hold it for you."
The two wandered around some more, but Qin Hao did not play any more games, and Xia Qing didn't find anything else she liked.
"There's a place to store stuff up ahead; let's go keep our things there," Qin Hao noticed a small shop that offered storage.
Xia Qing nodded, "Mm, sounds good."
After storing the plush toys and the little cage, they finally entered Joy Valley.
The game stalls they had played at were located in a square inside the front gate; it was only after entering the inner gate that they reached the real Joy Valley.
The pair continued playing in Joy Valley until noon, riding the carousel, the rapids, the Ferris wheel, the pirate ship, and more.
Xia Qing had a blast, and so did Qin Hao. He had never had such a great time before, and it was even more special with a beautiful woman by his side.
They had lunch nearby at noon, then went back in to play for a long time.
Joy Valley was vast, with many attractions—they had barely scratched the surface in the morning.
At four in the afternoon, they took a bus and left Joy Valley.
Xia Qing carried the small cage, while Qin Hao helped her with the plush toy.
Just after five, they arrived back at the entrance of Cuijing District.
Xia Qing took the teddy bear and said, "Thank you, Qin Hao, I had a really great day today."
Qin Hao smiled and replied, "I had a great time too. Go home and rest well after such a long day."
"Mm-hmm, you should also rest up. I'll be heading home," Xia Qing said, then turned to walk towards her house.
Watching her beautiful silhouette and graceful figure disappear, Qin Hao's gaze became complex and he sighed.
Once home, Qin Hao sat on the sofa, lost in thought, looking at his hands.
During the roller coaster ride in the afternoon, Xia Qing, scared and nervous, had grabbed his hand. At that moment, Qin Hao felt a jolt like an electric shock, his heart pounding.
Her hand was slender and soft, the touch was very pleasant, and now the memory was making his heart race.
He didn't know why he felt this way—could it be that deep down, he actually liked Xia Qing?
But what about Du Wanrou?
Thinking about all this gave him a headache. Just then, his phone rang; it was a message from Du Wanrou, "Qin Hao, I have good news. Those bad guys have been caught."
Qin Hao: "Mm, mm, I heard."
Du Wanrou: "Did you know? There's a Joy Valley that opened in Jianghai District. My mom took me there yesterday, it was so much fun."
Luckily, Du Wanrou hadn't gone today; if they had bumped into each other, he didn't know what he would have done.
At the same time, he made a decision in his heart—to resolve the issues with Du Wanrou and Xia Qing as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if this dragged on, it would end up hurting everyone.
