BXBX NOVEL Chapter 369 - 369: Rookie In Any Game
Pei Lingfeng stretched his neck to check if Lin Wan had any winning combinations. What she was trying was risky.
[Mr. Li’s eyes are wide open.]
[This is the worst defeat Magician Xiao has suffered today.]
“I wasn’t paying attention. My hand slipped,” Xia MO said, sticking a sticky note on her face.
Xiao Tianlin had been playing for over an hour and had only received one sticky note, and that was only because someone had won by self-draw. Xia MO, on the other hand, had lost in the first few minutes of playing the game.
No matter what game it was, there were bound to be rookies who made a mess. Xiao Tianlin’s sticky note was on the left side of his face, while Xia MO’s was on the right side. The two of them sat together, looking quite symmetrical.
Xia MO was happy. For her, it was all for fun.
Li Yanchen clipped his sticky note behind his ear and felt full of confidence in his wife. With Lin Wan’s skills, she would definitely be able to turn the tables.
[Although Teacher Xia lost this round, her smile makes me feel like she’s the winner.]
[The magician’s trump card that he so painstakingly built was given away in a second.]
[Those aren’t just his trump cards. Those were his feelings of self-esteem, too.]
[The children have all gone to Wheatley’s house to play.]
[Oh no… I forgot Nannan and Michael weren’t here.]
[Nannan and Michael must stay back. Please don’t follow the others and neglect the children.]
At Wheatley’s house, Michael had cleared all the snow from the road in front of the house so the children could play outside.
After the snowmen melted, the children were sad. Michael brought out skipping ropes and urged the children to skip together to let off steam.
He and his wife were in charge of swinging the ropes.
Feifei was still small, and he was scared that the rope would hit his legs if he jumped.
Doudou was a bit bolder. Although she had never skipped before, she seemed to learn by watching the other children.
Every time she jumped, her feet got caught in the ropes. The little girl was a little anxious.
[Oh dear, who will teach little Doudou?]
[Thanks to Michael for turning the camera this way so we can watch the little ones.]
“Doudou, come and learn from me,” said Wheatley with a smile.
“Watch the rope carefully. When you reach this position, jump! As soon as you land, start running. Run in this direction.” Wheatley demonstrated it to Doudou.
“Auntie Nannan, Daddy, shake the rope a little slowly,” said Wheatley as she helped Doudou jump the rope.
[Wheatley is so kind.]
[Doudou seems a little small for skipping.]
[I didn’t expect Tutu to be the most agile. He jumps so easily.]
[Feifei may not know how to jump, but he always runs around the rope with joy.]
L renu uoesll L UllUeLSLd11U WIIdL vvnedL1ey IS saying. J
[Little Feifei is happy running behind them.]
Soon, it was Doudou’s turn.
This time, Doudou was determined. She stared at the rope, waited for it to reach the position that Wheatley had shown her, and jumped. When she landed, she ran.
She made it over! When she saw the big rope swinging steadily behind her, the little girl clenched her fist and exclaimed, “Yeah! Success! I’m going to tell
Mommy.”
“Mommy, Mommy… I can skip rope now,” Doudou called out as she ran. Li Meng heard her daughter’s voice and walked out of the courtyard.
“Sweetheart, slow down.”
“Mommy, I can skip rope now! I’ll show you,” said Doudou.
“That’s fantastic! Let me tell Daddy, and then we’ll go skip rope together.” Li Meng stood by the fence and called out to Pei Lingfeng. “Mr. Pei, I’m going to play with our daughter for a while.”
Pei Lingfeng turned to look at his wife as the sticky note on his face fluttered in the wind.
“Daddy, do you have a fake beard? Why did you make a fake beard? It looks ugly.” Doudou was curious to see the sticky notes on her father’s face. “Mommy, let’s skip rope later. I want to go and see Daddy.”
Doudou had never seen Mahjong played in real life. She asked her mother dozens of questions before finding out that her father was playing Mahjong and had to stick a sticky note on his face every time he lost.
When Doudou found out that the sticky notes were a form of punishment, she laughed. She hoped her father would get another sticky note on his face. It looked fun!
After Li Yanchen, it was Pei Lingfeng who lost the most. He had originally hoped that Xia MO would be in last place, but that wasn’t so. Xiao Tianlin guided her to play.
Doudou didn’t understand what it meant to win, but she knew that the person who lost had to paste a sticky note on their face. When she saw her father stick another one on his face, she clapped in delight.
“Daddy lost again. Daddy has turned into a big cat…”
Pei Lingfeng’s face darkened when he heard her daughter’s words.
[What a naughty child! I used to think the Li brothers were mischievous, but now I see that Doudou is at another level.]
[Be careful, Doudou! Daddy might get angry and chase after you. Run far away.]
[Children just think it’s fun.]
Pei Lingfeng calmed himself. He couldn’t lose his temper in front of the live broadcast. Otherwise, they would think he was furious about losing the game.
He squeezed out a smile. “Doudou, it’s not good for children to watch this. Let
Mommy take you away to play.”
“Let’s go, Doudou.” Li Meng held her daughter’s hand and led her away from there.
“Mommy, why does Daddy keep losing?” Doudou asked. “Does Daddy cry when he loses?”
“Daddy knows that you like seeing the sticky notes on his face, so he loses to make you happy. When you are happy, we’re all happy.”
“Oh, I see.” Doudou believed her. “We have peanuts at home, right? Daddy intentionally loses to make me happy, so he loses his peanuts too. We’ll make it up to him tonight.”
“Okay.” Li Meng gently touched her daughter’s head.
At Wheatley’s family, the children were still skipping rope. When they saw
Doudou coming back with her mother, they all greeted her. “Hello, Auntie!” Doudou automatically joined the children again. She stood behind Li Zekai.
“Mommy, pay attention, alright?”
Doudou was ready to do it again. However, this time she got entangled with the rope.
[Doudou, my dear, don’t cry. Just keep practicing, and you’ll be able to do it again.]
[Oh no… I feel so sorry for Doudou. She happily ran to find her mom, wanting to show off in front of her, but she messed up..]
