Chen Bing expressed her satisfaction with Chen Shichao's progress.
During the meal, Chen Bing knew that Shang Yunmiao wouldn't take the initiative to pick up food, so no matter what he ate, she would put some in her bowl as well.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yue felt a bit conflicted. On the one hand, she was happy that her son was so sensible, but on the other hand, she was also a little upset.
He has never been so proactive in serving me food before.
Just as she was thinking this, a pair of chopsticks placed a four-happiness meatball into her bowl. Liu Yue looked up and saw that it was Chen Shichao with a big smile on his face who had put it there.
"The kids eat the kids' food, and we'll eat ours."
I was a little touched.
Dinner ended in a slightly cozy atmosphere. Chen Bing originally wanted to help Liu Yue wash the pots and pans, but Chen Shichao stopped her with three strong shouts.
"Childish ghost."
Hearing his son call him a childish devil, Chen Shichao wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he showed a smug smile.
"Go play with your girlfriend, don't bother my wife."
My God, what are you saying?
Because Shi Chao's words were so outrageous, Chen Bing didn't need to refute him; someone else would teach him a lesson.
"Shi Chao!"
Chen Shichao turned around and smiled at Liu Yue, then waved to Chen Bing with his hands behind his back.
Chen Bing shook his head helplessly. This old man was never serious all day long. "Little girlfriend?" Shang Yunmiao was sitting right next to him. How could he say such a thing?
Since you won't let me help you, then you can wash the dishes yourself.
Chen Bing walked up to Shang Yunmiao, took her hand, and prepared to take her back to her room to play.
Just as they hadn't even taken a step out, Liu Yue's phone suddenly rang.
The other party took the phone.
"Hello?"
"Will we arrive in town around 10 o'clock?"
"It's alright, just let Yunmiao stay for one day, and I'll send her back tomorrow or the day after."
"It's alright, it's no trouble at all. I don't have much to do at home anyway."
"Okay, I got it. Let's have dinner together another day."
Chen Bing stopped and looked at Liu Yue. From what Liu Yue had just said, she knew that Shang Yunmiao would most likely be staying at her house today, and that was indeed the case.
"...That's about it, Yunmiao. Do you want to sleep with Auntie tonight, or do you want to sleep alone?"
Chen Shichao's expression changed; clearly, this situation was beyond his expectations.
"I...I'm fine with anything, Auntie."
"Then you can sleep with Auntie, okay? After your bath, Auntie will tell you a bedtime story, okay?"
As Liu Yue spoke, a warm scene came to mind.
"Hmm..." Shang Yunmiao didn't have the courage to say no, nor did she really want to.
Although she wasn't very familiar with Aunt Liu Yue yet, the other woman's gentle demeanor had already won over the little girl's heart, making her more willing to accept the other woman's intimacy.
Hearing the cute little girl agree, Liu Yue's face was filled with smiles.
"Okay, go play with Chen Bing for a while, Auntie will take you to take a bath later."
"Um."
After the two children left, Chen Shichao looked at Liu Yue with a wronged expression.
Seeing his childlike expression, Liu Yue felt a surge of joy.
"Okay, I'll spend time with you again next time, okay?"
Sure enough, Chen Shichao was the only child in the family.
After returning to the main house with Shang Yunmiao, Chen Bing's gaming enthusiasm, which had been suppressed by his previous defeat, gradually reignited. He checked the time; it was only a little past seven, and he could still play a few more rounds.
Therefore, he formally issued a challenge to Shang Yunmiao to a battle.
To his surprise, Shang Yunmiao resolutely shook her head after receiving his invitation.
"My parents and I agreed that I can't watch TV after 7 p.m.
Hmm? Are the family rules this strict?
"It's okay, this is my home, and we're playing computer games, not watching TV."
Chen Bing felt no guilt whatsoever when he coaxed the child. He solemnly argued to Shang Yunmiao the philosophical principle that playing computer games is not just playing games.
Unexpectedly, the other party shook their head after hesitating.
Hey, you little brat, I don't believe I can't teach you a lesson.
"It's okay, we'll just play two rounds. We'll stop when we're done, okay?"
Shameless! How old are you? Still acting like a child.
The narrator should shut up and yell, "What's wrong with using any means to achieve your goals? I was just trying to let this poor child experience the ultimate bliss."
"Two... how long is that?"
Under Chen Bing's coquettish charm, Shang Yunmiao finally relented.
"It'll only take... about ten minutes at most. Come on, let's play."
Little Chen Bing took Shang Yunmiao's hand and led her into the room.
How could something as addictive as a game only last for ten minutes? Shang Yunmiao is just starting out with games, which is undoubtedly the easiest time to become addicted. In addition, given her exceptional talent in this area, I believe she will soon be completely engrossed in it.
Chen Bing thought smugly, but he couldn't quite feel happy inside.
Damn it, it's all because of the narrator's stupid talk that I had so much less fun.
Once the game started, Shang Yunmiao unsurprisingly became completely engrossed. Not only were her eyes glued to the screen, but her voice and movements also became slightly more unrestrained.
In a two-player game that required mutual assistance, she even gently scolded the clumsy Chen Bing.
Although it was disheartening to be blamed by a four-year-old for being bad at video games, it was nothing compared to the sense of accomplishment he felt in successfully getting Shang Yunmiao addicted to the game.
but.
"Chen Bing, it's been nineteen minutes, you can't play anymore."
Just as the game reached its most intense and exciting moment, Shang Yunmiao suddenly stopped and watched helplessly as the little character she was controlling died.
"Huh, what?"
Chen Bing was a little confused. After that, no matter how he tried to persuade Shang Yunmiao, she remained unmoved.
"Chen Bing, please stop playing games. Mom says playing games is fun, but it's not real happiness."
No, little one, don't be so self-disciplined, okay? The way you're doing it makes me look useless.
Feeling a bit embarrassed after being lectured by a kid more than twenty years his junior, Uncle Chen Bing quietly shut down his computer and went to the living room to paint with Shang Yunmiao.
Have I really been too decadent lately?
Chen Bing thought about what he had done recently: his battle of wits with Liu Yue, staying up all night playing games; his attempt to lure an innocent young girl into playing games but being lectured instead; his humiliation at the hands of Chen Shichao; his lack of ambition and aimlessness at kindergarten; and his stay-at-home days during holidays...
What's wrong with me? Where did that heroic fighting spirit I had when I was reborn go?
