Zhao Yueling retorted, "Nothing is impossible in this world. Just like you said, he has fried chicken hanging around, so maybe he'll stay for twenty minutes?" Although she herself had no confidence and her words were unconvincing, she still had to maintain her momentum.
"Okay, then let's just wait." Jian Shu said confidently. Although her name was Jian Shu, she couldn't lose. A few minutes wouldn't matter anyway.
"Just wait," Zhao Yueling said. At the same time, she prayed in her heart, "Brother, please fight for your courage."
Zhao Yueling was nervous with every passing second.
Seven minutes passed...
Jianshu still looked at ease, but Zhao Yueling became more and more nervous.
Eight minutes passed...
Jian Shu changed his posture, and Zhao Yueling stood up from the sofa and moved closer to the watch on the coffee table. If her mind was effective, she would have moved the hands of the watch faster by now.
Nine minutes passed...
Jianshu couldn't sit still anymore and came over.
The last minute passed extremely slowly. The two had never felt a minute was so difficult to endure.
Jianshu no longer stared at his watch, but stared at the door intently, as if he wanted to poke through the door to see what the person inside was doing and why he hadn't come out yet.
Finally, as the second hand began a new circle of rotation, the outcome of the bet was announced: both of them lost, only Zhao Tianrui won.
"No way, fried chicken is that attractive?" Jian Shu asked in disbelief. He knew that children liked fried chicken, but he didn't expect them to like it this much.
Zhao Yueling didn't laugh or anything. After all, she was a loser herself. It was just a bet for fun, so there was no need to worry about it after the bet was over.
"Fried chicken is delicious, especially the crispy skin on the outside." Zhao Yueling recalled the taste of fried chicken and nodded.
She actually wanted to eat it, but she knew her limits, so she never asked for it.
"It seems like I have to make this fried chicken." Jian Shu shook his head and laughed.
But this is also a pleasant surprise. If a piece of fried chicken can rekindle Zhao Tianrui's passion for learning, it would be worth it.
It seems that the trick of using delicious food to encourage him to study hard can still be used.
Zhao Yueling sat back down on the sofa, took a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite, saying, "I just don't know how long this enthusiasm can last."
"That's fine. After you finish the fried chicken, you can always have something else. French fries, grilled sausages, crispy pork, spicy hot pot... I'll make whatever you want," Jian Shu said with a wave of his hand. He wouldn't eat it often anyway, so if it's unhealthy, then so be it.
Zhao Yueling was envious after hearing this, "It seems that his enthusiasm can be maintained for a long time." And she could also enjoy a lot of delicious food, which was great. She must urge her brother to study hard.
The two of them sat on the sofa, eating and chatting, but they still paid some attention to Zhao Tianrui, wanting to see how long he could last.
At first, the two were quite leisurely, but as time passed, half an hour passed and Zhao Tianrui still didn't come out, and they suddenly couldn't sit still anymore.
"No, it's been so long, why hasn't Ruirui come out yet?" Jianshu was very puzzled.
Zhao Yueling was the same and shook her head, "I don't know."
"No, I have to go and take a look." Jianshu stuffed the mung bean cake in his hand into his mouth, clapped his hands, picked up a cup of tea and walked towards the room.
Seeing this, Zhao Yueling followed closely.
With a "creaking" sound of friction, the door was pushed open a crack by Jianshu.
The two of them sneaked a peek inside, and when they saw the situation inside, they were immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Oh my god, no wonder he didn’t go out. It turns out he fell asleep on the table.
Jianshu gently pushed open the door and tiptoed in.
There were some books and stationery on the table by the window, and a little kid was lying on the open math book.
Perhaps because he was reading a book before falling asleep, Zhao Tianrui placed his arms casually on the table, and his fair and tender little face was pressed tightly against the textbook.
Because of the posture, the little mouth opened unconsciously, and saliva flowed out from the corners of the mouth, all dripping onto the textbook, wetting a large area.
Suddenly, Zhao Tianrui made a move. He raised his right hand slightly and groped for something on the table. After searching around, he didn't pick up anything, and finally put his hand directly into his mouth.
Seeing him like this, Jianshu reached out without thinking and prepared to take his hand out of his mouth.
But before she could move, Zhao Tianrui smacked his lips and muttered, "Fried chicken is so delicious," which instantly stunned her.
My goodness, I am talking in my sleep.
Looking at Zhao Tianrui who mistook his pig's trotters for fried chicken, Jianshu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Is fried chicken really that delicious? I even dream about eating it.
He shook his head and laughed, then joked to Zhao Yueling behind him, "I think if someone gave him a fried chicken, they would be able to trick him out of his entire being."
"Why does he need a whole one? I think he can be tricked out by giving him a chicken leg." Zhao Yueling also said with a smile.
"It seems like we don't have to worry about his academic performance anymore."
"That's right. In the future, maybe he won't be happy if I don't let him learn."
The two of them complained about this for a while. Zhao Yueling looked at Zhao Tianrui, who was sleeping soundly on his stomach, and said with some embarrassment: "So let him sleep like this?"
Jianshu was a little embarrassed about this. If he moved him, he was worried about waking him up. If he didn't move him, it would be uncomfortable to sleep like this, and he would probably feel numb and sore all over after waking up.
After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Forget it, just carry him to the bed, and be as gentle as possible."
"Okay." Zhao Yueling nodded.
Jianshu gently lifted Zhao Tianrui's head and let him lean back slowly, then supported his back with his left hand. After that, he passed his right hand through his legs and finally picked him up sideways.
Zhao Yueling quickly tidied up the bed, cleared away the obstacles, and watched Jianshu slowly put him on the bed.
Perhaps because of the change in posture, Zhao Tianrui struggled a bit, frowned, and began to hum.
Seeing this, Jianshu patted his back quickly. Perhaps the comfort was effective, and Zhao Tianrui's brows gradually relaxed. His hands and feet were groping back and forth on the bed. Zhao Yueling quickly took the quilt off the bed and put it where he couldn't reach.
Not getting what he wanted, Zhao Tianrui started whining again, while Jianshu kept patting his back without any objection to Zhao Yueling's behavior.
