"Wow! Look! This rabbit lantern is so pretty!" Yao Yao excitedly pointed to a lantern hanging on the high platform.
Although Yao Yao's soul is that of an adult, her current body is not. Taking advantage of her young age, Yao Yao begins to indulge herself.
Xu Chi glanced at the rabbit lantern; it was indeed quite nice. "Yan'er, do you like it?"
Yao Yao looked at the rabbit lantern and nodded, "Mmm! Of all these lanterns, this one is the prettiest!"
Min Liang interjected, "If Sister Yan'er likes it, then buy it!"
"Woof woof!" Little Black followed the three of them. Although it didn't understand what they were saying, it didn't stop it from joining in the commotion.
Min Liang walked confidently up to the shop owner and asked, "Boss, how much are your rabbit lanterns?"
The shopkeeper was a kind-looking old man. He said gently, "Young master, this lantern can't be bought. You have to win a contest to get it. If you want it, just call your parents."
But today, apart from their entourage, neither their parents nor their children came out.
Min Liang didn't want to suffer a crushing defeat in front of Yan'er.
Pointing to his followers behind him, he said, "You, you go and fight in the arena. You must win that lantern back."
That attendant was the most robust-looking among all the attendants.
Upon receiving the young master's order, he naturally dared not disobey and simply replied, "Yes."
Then one of them leaped onto the stage and said to the person in front of him, "Make your move."
I secretly looked down on him; he was so skinny, yet he could take on ten people with one punch!
Those who heard his words burst into laughter.
The old man explained to him, "This is not a martial arts competition."
The attendant was puzzled. "If we're not fighting, what else can we be doing in this arena?"
"The contest here is a competition of literary talent. Today, let's use the moon as the theme and see who can write the best poem. If everyone is convinced and no one else wants to challenge, then the champion will be you."
The attendant was dumbfounded. He could read and write a few characters, but he couldn't appreciate the moon or compose poetry.
He hummed on stage for a long time but couldn't utter more than a few words, and eventually came off the stage blushing.
Min Liang rolled his eyes, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Hmph, what use are you guys? I'll do it myself!"
He went up and recited a poem, and the current champion followed suit with one. Even though Min Liang was skilled in both literature and martial arts, he suffered from his age and lacked knowledge.
The current champion joked, "The little guy has good writing skills, but let's wait another two years."
Min Liang stepped off the stage, his face flushed and his neck red. He looked a little embarrassed when he faced Yao Yao and said, "Sister Yan'er, we can't get this rabbit lantern. How about we get another one?"
Yao Yao was unusually stubborn today: "If you don't want it, I want that one. I'll do it myself."
Then she started fiddling with her little body, deciding to take matters into her own hands.
but……
This step is way too high! Min Liang and the others used their light-footed skills to get up there, and everyone else is an adult. Five-year-old Yao Yao was speechless as she looked at the step, which was as high as her waist.
Those around her naturally noticed Yao Yao as well.
"Hey, does this little kid actually want to go up there?"
"Tsk, I think this kid is quite cute."
Seeing Yaoyao's efforts to climb the steps, the old man couldn't help but chuckle. "Little girl, do you want to challenge the champion?"
"Mmm!" Yao Yao answered in her childish voice as she struggled to climb the steps. Holy crap, there were so many steps! She was exhausted.
The old man advised, "You're still young, come back another time. Don't cry if you lose."
