Chapter 341: Defeat by Mouth
Beibei and Xixi's performance puzzled Huo Qingzhou and his wife.
Zhou Ning looked at them curiously: "My dears, what are you laughing at? Did something funny happen today?"
Beibei nodded: "We heard some very funny things."
Huo Qingzhou understood that he would have to listen to the two little kids' jokes next, so he reluctantly listened attentively.
Suddenly, Xixi came up to him and blinked curiously: "Dad, didn't you say that your grades have always been the best in the grade, but Aunt Erya said that she surpassed you several times and said that you were defeated by her."
Upon hearing this, the curve of Huo Qingzhou's mouth froze.
Sixth Aunt stood aside and glanced at Huo Qingzhou with concern: "Mr. Huo, you are back. I was just about to say something. Today, the young master and the young lady said they wanted to go out to see the second young lady of the Wen family and chat with her. I didn't quite know what to talk about, so I took them... there."
After understanding the situation, Huo Qingzhou took a breath.
Aunt Six apologized again.
Seeing that the two children were in high spirits and might say something again, Huo Qingzhou gestured to Sixth Aunt to leave.
"Aunt Liu, there's nothing for you to do here, go and get busy."
In the current situation, Huo Qingzhou had no idea what Wen Erya had said to the two children. He sent Sixth Aunt away to prevent her from hearing things she shouldn't hear.
Aunt Six nodded and prepared to leave quickly, but she paused slightly when she thought of something.
"Mr. Huo, it's okay. I heard everything I should and shouldn't have heard."
After she finished speaking, realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Aunt Liu smiled a few times and ran away.
Zhou Ning stood aside, extremely curious. She led the children to sit on the sofa. Just as she was about to ask, Huo Qingzhou's voice sounded beside her.
"It's not that I'm defeated. The times when Wen Erya surpassed me were just due to good luck. I can count the times on my fingers."
Xixi believed it a little: "It turns out that Aunt Erya is so lucky."
"Yes," Huo Qingzhou nodded, "She is lucky, I am strong."
After saying that, the man quickly changed the subject: "You guys go do your own thing."
Then he stood up, took Zhou Ning's hand, and prepared to walk towards the bedroom.
Beibei curled his lips: "Dad, we haven't finished talking yet, why are you so anxious? Aunt Erya told us a lot of things."
Huo Qingzhou's expression changed immediately.
Beibei: "Dad, I didn't expect that when you were five or six years old, you and Aunt Erya participated in a bickering competition created by your friends. It was so unique, and Aunt Erya was the champion."
Xixi laughed at the side: "Aunt Erya said that you couldn't win a quarrel with her. You lost. You went home crying and calling for mommy. Even the food didn't taste good."
Xixi became more and more excited as she spoke. She imagined what it would look like when Huo Qingzhou lost the bickering contest and began to imitate him.
She trotted over to Zhou Ning while wiping her eyes and pretending to cry, "Mommy, Mommy, I lost the game, wuuuuuu, the champion has poison in her mouth, I'm full of poison, I can't eat anymore wuuuuuuu..."
Watching his daughter's exaggerated performance, Huo Qingzhou's dark history from childhood came to mind, and his face became as black as coal.
When Zhou Ning heard these things, she was surprised at first, but then she came to her senses and found them very funny. She didn't expect that Huo Qingzhou had experienced such interesting things when he was a child.
Zhou Ning wanted to laugh out loud, but when she saw Huo Qingzhou's expression, she held it back in time.
Xixi saw through it and said considerately, "Mommy, laugh if you want to. You can't hold it back."
Taking Huo Qingzhou's feelings into consideration, Zhou Ning said, "This is not a funny thing. Your dad was very cute when he was a child..."
Before he could finish his words, Bei Bei stared at Huo Qingzhou and said, "Dad, you're so funny. You're still participating in a verbal battle at the age of five or six. You're a little out of date. You lost to Aunt Erya. Isn't this called a loser in the mouth?"
Huo Qingzhou took a deep breath and said, "I was very young at that time. Wen Erya was exaggerating."
Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, Huo Qingzhou was really embarrassed at this moment and wanted to find a hole to crawl into so that his wife and children could know all the embarrassing things in the past at the same time. It was too "sour".
Beibei shook his head: "Not anymore. When I'm six, I'm going to participate in a programming competition. Maybe I can become the youngest judge then!"
After a pause, he said, "Daddy, you were busy arguing with others at the time, and when you couldn't win, you went home crying to find Mommy. Hahaha, so childish. I will never do such a thing in the future, hahaha..."
Beibei was particularly happy today. He excitedly jumped from the sofa to the ground, posed like a superman, and shouted:
"My six-year-old is definitely better than my dad's, hahahaha..."
Xixi clapped on the side: "Brother is great! Great!"
Zhou Ning was almost stunned when she heard this. She had studied children's studies before and knew that children at the age of five or six have a sense of competition and like to play these competitive games.
But I didn’t expect that Huo Qingzhou also participated in a... bickering competition when he was a child.
She instantly realized that Huo Qingzhou's cover-up was only because he was worried that his past embarrassing moments would be exposed.
No wonder Wen Erya said some strange things before. It seems that she knows a lot of Huo Qingzhou’s “dark history”.
Huo Qingzhou really couldn't bear to listen any longer. Seeing that the two little guys were chatting happily and seemed ready to continue, he didn't want to listen anymore and prepared to go back to the bedroom.
Beibei's voice came from behind: "Dad, you haven't finished yet, are you running away?"
Huo Qingzhou pursed his thin lips into a sharp line, pretending not to hear, and quickened his pace to move forward.
"Daddy!"
Xixi's voice came from behind again.
Huo Qingzhou stopped and turned around to see Xixi running to his side. She looked at him with her big watery eyes and then hugged his thighs.
Huo Qingzhou immediately felt the warmth. It turned out to be her daughter after all, a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Xixi looked up: "Dad, is dinner delicious? Can you still eat it?"
"..."
Huo Qingzhou's face suddenly changed, and he quickly "hid" in the bedroom, starting to digest these things.
Now that the children know about this, I don’t know how long we will talk about it.
One incident was enough to keep the children talking for days, not to mention that Huo Qingzhou didn't know how much the children knew.
When Beibei and Xixi saw Huo Qingzhou leave, they started talking excitedly with Zhou Ning again.
However, the subject quickly changed.
Beibei suddenly remembered something, took out the educational toy from the side, and said, "Mommy, I was just chatting with Daddy, and I almost forgot that this is the gift Aunt Erya bought for us."
Zhou Ning was surprised: "Did you say thank you?"
Beibei and Xixi nodded vigorously.
Since Wen Erya gave gifts to the children, she would return the favor one day.
The children's attention was diverted again because they took out the educational toys, and they started to open the boxes and play.
When Zhou Ning had some free time, she walked towards the master bedroom. She didn't know what Huo Qingzhou was doing in the room at the moment, or how he was feeling.
