Chapter 416 Using Sugar as Chess Pieces
Sanni, wanting to take care of her younger sister, asked after she finished drinking water, "Sweetie, do you want to go to the toilet? I'll go with you."
"Go ahead."
Helian gave a soft, delicate reply, then turned to Gu Tingyun and asked, "Do you want to go?"
Gu Tingyun was, after all, a boy. He was intelligent and precocious, and had been well-educated by his grandfather since childhood.
Although she wanted to do everything with the little hamster, she already knew the difference between boys and girls at such a young age, so she shook her head and said, "You go with Sanni."
Helian Jiao and Sanni walked out of the classroom hand in hand, attracting a lot of attention as soon as they went out.
Most of the boys were curious, since they had never seen such a fair-skinned and chubby girl before; their sisters were all dark-skinned and thin.
The girls looked on with envy, thinking that he must eat a lot of meat to be so chubby!
They were dressed very stylishly and beautifully, especially those little red leather shoes, which they had only ever seen worn by girls in the city.

During the twenty-minute break between classes, a group of little girls would play shuttlecock on the playground or gather together to play cat's cradle.
But because Helian Jiao was too young and too different from others, no one took the initiative to ask her to play together.
The little princess didn't want to play with unfamiliar human children either, so when she saw that Sanni wanted to go, she said in a soft and sweet voice, "Third sister, why don't you go and play with them?"
Sanni hesitated for a moment, but seeing that she really didn't want to play and that Gu Tingyun was with her, she ran over and played with her familiar friends.
In the distance, a group of boys are having a tree-climbing competition.
Chen Erbao climbed as fast as a monkey, and soon he reached the top. He said smugly, "You guys lost. I'm the fastest!"
Upon seeing this, Helian Jiao's face immediately lit up with eager anticipation, and she lifted her short legs to walk over there.
Gu Tingyun saw through her thoughts and immediately pulled her back: "Sweetie, the tree trunk is very dirty."
Then he squeezed her soft little hand: "And your palms will get chafed by the rough tree trunk, it hurts a lot."
Helian Jiao immediately gave up the idea of ​​participating in the competition. She could wash her hands if they got dirty, but she was afraid of the pain.
"Sweetie, I'll teach you how to play Connect Four." Gu Tingyun tried to distract her by doing something else, so she wouldn't want to climb the tree again.
Four-in-a-Row?
Helian Jiao tilted her head and said cutely, "Okay."
Anyway, I'm just idling around.
Gu Tingyun then led her back to the classroom and drew a "string" of chess pieces on her workbook.
Then I took out the milk candy and chocolate that I had specially brought for the little hamster from my backpack, peeled one for her to eat first, and then counted four for each of us as chess pieces, and demonstrated to her how to play.
The other children stared wide-eyed at the candy and chocolate.
Especially since the White Rabbit milk candy in Helian Jiao's mouth smelled so good, you could smell the sweet milky aroma if you got close. Everyone stared intently at the candy being used as a chess piece and swallowed their saliva.
If it were any other child, under so many eager gazes, they would either be smug or embarrassed.
Unfortunately, neither Helian Jiao nor Gu Tingyun were ordinary children.
Helian Jiao is clever and learns quickly; she has both wins and losses in her battles against Gu Tingyun.
If he lost, he would puff out his cheeks and demand a rematch, clearly not satisfied.
He would swing his legs when he won, looking smug and happy.
Perhaps influenced by her obvious emotional change, the other children gradually stopped craving candy and found the game of Connect Four quite fun, so they wanted to play it in the next class.
Although there is no sugar, small stones can be used instead.
Ring ring!
