Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Magic Studies and Life (Part 1)

After Yang Zhen Er tossed the coin and hit the disposable paper cup, she excitedly showed off to Little Fatty Girl.

However, she noticed that Little Fatty Girl was just staring at the cup with wide eyes. The response was very different from the “Wow, you’re amazing, Ms. Fairy!” that she had envisioned, so she repeated herself:

“Xiao Lingdang, am I cool or not?”

It was then that Little Fatty Girl finally uttered an “Ah?”, quickly nodding in agreement, “Uh-huh, Ms. Fairy is cool.” She then got up and went over to the TV stand, looking at the coin in the cup.

Yang Zhen Er caught Little Fatty Girl’s perfunctory “astonishment”. Thinking that she didn’t understand why she was so amazing, she quickly went over and picked up the coin, returned to her previous position, and said, “Xiao Lingdang, this move is super hard to practice. It’s not just tossing a coin, it’s like this, ‘Ding’, use your thumb to flick it straight away, look! It’s still spinning in the air!”

With that, Yang Zhen Er demonstrated again, flicking the coin from the doorway into the cup with her thumb.

“It’s so hard! Xiao Lingdang, this is even harder than flipping a coin with your fingers! If you don’t believe me, you try.”

So Liu Shiling stood next to Yang Zhen Er, took a coin out of her pocket, and mimicked Yang Zhen Er’s movement: she placed the coin on her thumb, clenched the other four fingers loosely, and bent her thumb and index finger into a “launch rail”.

When she flicked the coin, Liu Shiling seemed to be afraid that she wasn’t strong enough, she even thrust her entire arm upwards as if giving a thumbs up to the air.

The arc of the coin she tossed was much larger than the one Yang Zhen Er had just flicked, and the spinning coin nearly touched the ceiling before neatly dropping into the cup.

Watching the coin fall into the cup, Yang Zhen Er’s mouth slowly opened and she was momentarily stunned.

So… is coin flicking actually easy?

Could a preschooler randomly do it?

Did… she make a big deal out of nothing?

As she contemplated, Liu Shiling took another coin out of her pocket and placed it in her hand, “Ms. Fairy, try it with my…my coin.”

Yang Zhen Er shook her head after receiving the coin, “No, I can only get it in with the coin Brother Xiang gave. The coins he gave me are perhaps lighter or something; it’s hard to get other one-yuan coins in, and neither five cents nor five-yuan large commemorative coins work.”

“Mine was also given by Bald Uncle. Ms. Fairy, give it a try.” Liu Shiling said.

Yang Zhen Er had no choice but to take a deep breath and flick the coin in the same way as before, but this time the coin missed the cup and clinked twice on the TV stand, rolling under the coffee table.

Liu Shiling didn’t rush to fetch the coin, but instead consoled Yang Zhen Er, who looked a little vexed, “It’s okay, Ms. Fairy. Try again with this one. It’s also from Bald Uncle.” She took another coin from her pocket.

Yang Zhen Er felt the atmosphere was a bit weird. Did her and Little Fatty Girl’s positions get reversed?

She subconsciously accepted another coin from Little Fatty Girl, made a ‘ding’ sound and shot the coin out. As soon as the coin left her hand, she felt like she missed again.

To her surprise, however, the coin spinning in mid-air, as if it had a precise guidance system of its own, yet again managed to fall accurately into the cup.

The entire process looked extremely smooth, and the trajectory was even better than that of the coin she initially shot out.

“Huh?” Yang Zhen Er looked at her fingers in surprise.

Liu Shiling picked up the coin that had rolled under the coffee table and the one in the cup, walked back to Yang Zhen Er’s side, and handed over the four coins, “Ms. Fairy, which coin is yours?”

Yang Zhen Er fumbled in the coins and selected one, saying, “This one is mine, mine is from 2011. Hey, Xiao Lingdang, do you usually bring so many coins with you to kindergarten?”

“Yes, I take them everywhere.” Liu Shiling nodded seriously, then said, “Ms. Fairy, hand me your coin.”

Yang Zhen Er paused, looked at the coin in her hand and at the adorable Little Fatty Girl, hesitated, and said, “Xiao Lingdang, do you have any other toys you like? How about your big sister buy them for you? This coin was given by Brother Xiang, and I only have this one. If I give it to you, I won’t have one…..”

Liu Shiling paused, realizing that she had been misunderstood, and quickly said, “Ms. Fairy, I don’t want it as a gift. I’m just asking for the coin so we can play a game.”

“Oh, okay.” Yang Zhen Er sighed in relief.

After Liu Shiling took the coin, she quickly spun it between her fingers on the back of her left hand, quickly covered the coin with her right hand, and asked, “Ms. Fairy, is it ‘small one’ or ‘small flower’ now?”

Yang Zhen Er blinked, saying uncertainly, “Is it… small one?”

Liu Shiling lifted her right hand, “You’re wrong, Ms. Fairy, it’s small flower.”

Yang Zhen Er stroked her chin and said, “What I meant was, it’s a little one….. flower, hehe.”

But Liu Shiling ignored Ms. Fairy’s mischief, clenched the coin in her hand, and put both hands behind her back. After a little fiddling, both arms clenched fists and stretched out at her sides, making her look like a “big” character, and said, “Ms. Fairy, which hand is the coin in now?”

“Is there a reward if I guess right?” Yang Zhen Er asked with a giggle.

Liu Shiling thought for a moment and replied, “When Bald Uncle comes over next time and makes buns, I’ll give Ms. Fairy one from each meal.”

“Deal!” Yang Zhen Er immediately said, “Also, you have to call me Fairy Sister, Xi Yi An Xian, Ne Fish Fairy, Fairy! Sister!”

Liu Shiling nodded, “Okay, Ms. Fairy.”

Yang Zhen Er then contentedly started observing Liu Shiling’s clenched little fists on both sides. She didn’t rush to guess. Instead, she first positioned herself on the left, extended her finger and tapped on Little Fatty Girl’s clenched little fist, which looked like little white buns. Then she walked to the right, tapped the bun-like fist on this side too, and confidently said,

“It’s in your left hand!”

Sure enough, the coin was lying on Liu Shiling’s left hand.

Yang Zhen Er teasingly explained with a hint of smugness, “Xiao Lingdang, your hands are too small. When you hold the coin, you squeeze it hard, and your tiny fists are too obvious! Ha-ha!”

Liu Shiling helplessly said, “Ms. Fairy, no cheating.”
