Chapter 198 Shall we make a bet? The kind where you can't finish it.



Chaochao sat on a small stool, picked up the kettle and poured water in a grand manner, swaying his head and reminiscing about the little flowers he hadn't seen in a long time.

"...How have you been these past few days? Grandpa Bai must be taking good care of you; he said he comes to water the plants often..."

"Little Red, look how many flowers you've bloomed! You're so beautiful..."

"Hey, Xiao Zi, why are you so withdrawn? Is something bothering you...?"

The little dumpling muttered to itself, oblivious to everyone around it, sometimes praising this flower, sometimes worrying and comforting that one.

Half the water in the kettle had spilled, and she patiently reassured the tulips and snowballs that were still queuing up for their cold showers, "Don't rush, don't rush, it'll be your turn soon..."

The garden, which had been quiet for three days, became lively again.

Pei Yushen tried to keep his gaze far away, ignoring the small, dark shadow that was swaying back and forth.

As my gaze returned, I noticed that the small figure that had been sitting in front of the flowerpot had moved to the glass window, its two little hands busily fiddling with something.

The boy's gaze unconsciously shifted downwards, only pausing slightly when he saw what she was holding.

The dark green stone that had disappeared in the morning now rests in the child's soft, white palm, and the little box in the corner has been upgraded to a small house with a roof.

Chaochao lovingly stroked Xiao Lü, placed the little stone on the soft sponge mattress, and then covered it with a newly sewn floral quilt.

"How is it? Doesn't it feel more comfortable now? This is the little house that Grandpa Bai built by hand, and Grandma knitted a little quilt for you too."

The system typed several large characters on the public screen.

[Thanks for the special sponsorship]

Grandpa Bai – a small villa, Aunt Song – a three-piece bedding set

Chaochao squatted on the ground with her hands tucked in, explaining to Xiaoshitou word by word: "When Brother Yushen gets better, you can move into the room."

Perhaps worried that Xiao Lü might misunderstand, she quickly added, "Brother Yu Shen doesn't not want you, he's just not feeling well, just like he doesn't want to come out and play with me..."

At this point, Chaochao sighed regretfully, and when she raised her head, she inadvertently met the gaze of the young man, Jiyao.

Pei Yu watched quietly as the little dumpling carefully settled the green stone. Suddenly, when their eyes met, the little dumpling's eyes lit up instantly.

This reminded him of a puppy he had when he was a child. It was lying on the floor, bored, but when it realized he was watching it, it immediately sat up and wagged its tail happily.

Later, it was stolen.

Pei Yushen lowered his gaze indifferently.

Meanwhile, Chaochao, standing outside the glass window, excitedly pulled out her equipment from her small cloth bag.

The light in front of me suddenly dimmed a little.

He lifted his eyelids and saw a piece of white paper pasted on the clear glass.

[Brother Yu Shen, come out and play! (^▽^)]

Above the white paper, her clear almond-shaped eyes blinked brightly, as if through a layer of glass. Language was no longer a barrier, because you could clearly read her longing in her clear eyes.

The system, completely charmed by the cuteness, immediately thought of a little sheep emoji.

Come on, I'll carry you.jpg (Chao Chao version)

Oh my god, my baby is so cute!

However, Pei Yushen, faced with such an adorable offensive, indifferently looked away.

Despite being ignored by her brother, Chaochao showed no signs of discouragement. After a soft sigh, she continued playing by herself.

But as soon as he noticed that Yu Shen's gaze seemed to be on him, the white paper with "Come out and play" written on it was quickly stuck to the glass.

They did it seven or eight times, enjoying it immensely.

"..."

Pei Yushen glanced at the puppy-like little dumpling, then finally maneuvered his wheelchair around and pushed it to the desk.

No longer looking at the floor-to-ceiling glass window, the world around him seemed quiet, and no more large characters ostentatiously entered his eyes.

until--

"Are you really not going out to play, bro?"

Suddenly, the mumbled, childlike voice of a persistent little creature rang out beside me.

This time it's a real voice, not crooked, large characters.

Pei Yushen turned his head expressionlessly: "..."

Chewing on the sweet cantaloupe, Chaochao extended the invitation to "play together" for the nth time. Before the boy could even reply, she couldn't resist forking up another piece and munching on it with a "whoosh," exclaiming, "Brother, the melons in your room are so delicious..."

Although she had already been fed a plate of fruit by Aunt Song outside, she still couldn't resist the temptation when she saw the fruit in Pei Yu's room.

I ate one piece, then had another.

Finally able to speak, Chaochao blinked her big eyes and asked, "Really not going to play?"

Pei Yushen's eyebrows furrowed, revealing a hint of irritation.

He didn't understand where this restlessness came from, but he could only explain it as being annoyed by the persistent and undeterred child.

So when Chaochao asked the question again, the usually aloof young man's pale lips suddenly curved into a smile without warning, and his pale and handsome face was suddenly adorned with a rich and colorful smile.

His eyes were extremely dark. "Let's make a bet. If I win, I can play with you..."

Chaochao got excited: "What are we betting on!"

His gaze swept over the corner of the dinosaur cards peeking out of the child's pocket. "If you can find a dinosaur and bring it back..."

Chaochao: "..."

"But the books all say that dinosaurs are no longer on Earth."

The little dumpling reproached him resentfully, then its eyes slowly filled with suspicion, as if to say, "Brother, don't you even know this?" Then it kindly explained a whole bunch of things to him, like how dinosaurs thought Earth was too small, so they flew to other planets, blah blah blah...
