The hacker, who attacked Ah Zi’s computer, inserted a virus in her computer, so that every time she started it, there would only be a heap of s.h.i.t on the desktop or file pages.
“Guess what? Guess what?” Ah Zi shouted with rage on the other side of the video call, “I have spent three days on cleaning up the s.h.i.t, three days!”
Chen Chen repressed a smile. “Yeah, yeah, yeah!”
“Can you understand?” Ah Zi went on shouting. “Can you understand the feeling when I turned on the computer every day, I would see a heap of hot s.h.i.t. Furthermore, no matter where you move your mouse, there would be disgusting things everywhere. Can you?”
Over the next half hour, Ah Zi had been talking about the s.h.i.t in her computer, which caused Chen Chen to dream that Ah Zi was wielding the s.h.i.t and rushing towards her…
The next day was Sat.u.r.day. Chen Chen asked Tuan Zi to practice the dance of “Little Apple” with her again. Later, Jiang Rui rescued Tuan Zi from the practice by saying that he would buy some food with Tuan Zi in the nearby supermarket. Chen Chen was particularly willing to accompany Jiang Rui when he went to buy food in the supermarket, where many aunts would stare at him, and even some of them would ask if he was married.
So she tagged along excitedly. In the evening, Bear arrived to have a meal with them and was asked by Ying Cheng to play games together.
“You lose again.”
Bear threw the gamepad away. “I quit. I quit. Since you are so talented, how about wrestling with me?”
“Then let’s play another game!” Ying Cheng said mysteriously, shaking the gamepad in his hand, “Room Escape. The person who escapes first will win.”
So the two men started trying to find the key and escape in a small room.
After half an hour, Jiang Rui had already cooked supper.
An hour later, Jiang Rui drank tea on the sofa, while Tuan Zi and Chen Chen went downstairs to walk Hei Zi.
“d.a.m.n it! I quit.” Ying Cheng roared. “It’s deceptive, and no one can escape.”
Bear stood up abruptly. “d.a.m.n it. I am starving. Let’s have supper! “Who produced this f.u.c.king game? There must be something wrong with it.”
Ying Cheng didn’t mind the cold dishes, and he said while pigging out, “Indeed… When you were playing, I searched online and found that no one had ever opened the door.”
At that time, Chen Chen and Tuan Zi had returned. Chen Chen went to take a bath first, then Tuan Zi sat in Jiang Rui’s arms and talked with his dad. He picked up the gamepad that Ying Cheng had just thrown away and started the game.
“Tuan Zi, you’ve already opened three boxes.” Jiang Rui had been watching her play the games. In that game, players were asked to find five boxes in the room, and there would be one key in each box.
Finally, Tuan Zi successfully opened five locks and escaped from the room. The game was over.
“What?” Ying Cheng and Bear rushed to her from the table.
Bear asked with his eyes open widely, “Tuan Zi, where did you find the second key?”
“In the cabinet beside the bed.”
“I know that it can be opened, but there is a bookcase blocking the way!”
Tuan Zi operated the gamepad to give him a demonstration. “First, take out the books in the bookcase, then use the book as a ladder, climb up to the top of the bookcase, and then jump onto the bed. In this way, you can open it!”
Ying Cheng clenched his fist. “Just as I expected, the bookcase is really the only way to the cabinet.”
“But you can’t find a way to climb up to it.” Bear shook his head. “I just focused on finding a chair as the ladder in the house. But who could have imagined that the books can be taken down?”
“I have a question,” Ying Cheng said, “Tuan Zi, put the books back.”
After Tuan Zi put the books back, Ying Cheng operated the gamepad to make the character stand in front of the bookcase. “Look, the books cannot be taken down at all.”
“You took the wrong book. You should take out this one first.” Tuan Zi ran to the front of the TV and pointed to a book.
Ying Cheng moved the arrow onto the book that Tuan Zi pointed to, and it could really be taken down.
“Why?” Bear scratched his head. Tuan Zi threw herself into Jiang Rui’s arms. “Dad, do you know why?”
Jiang Rui touched her head and said, “On the table, on the other side of the room lie some magazines.”
“Yes, we tried, but they can’t be used as tools.” Ying Cheng moved the arrow over the magazines, and he clicked but there was no response.
“But the words on the cover are clear.” Jiang Rui raised his eyebrows. “It is exactly the t.i.tle of the book that Tuan Zi took out.”
Bear and Ying Cheng screamed, running close to the TV to see it clearly. Sure enough…
“But who pays attention to this stuff,” Bear said fiercely, “Usually, the items that can’t respond to the click will be left aside.”
After Tuan Zi spent half an hour on finding the keys together and escaping from the room, Ying Cheng and Bear almost prostrated themselves in worship of her. She was worthy of the wonder child t.i.tle, with high IQ. At the same time, on the other side of the world, a boy looked at the computer with great astonishment.
Someone had actually gone through his game?
b.u.t.terflies flapped their wings in the South Pacific and a blizzard hit the Alps. At that time, no one knew the b.l.o.o.d.y future had begun with such an insignificant puzzle game.
The next day, Jiang Rui and Chen Chen accompanied Tuan Zi to take part in the New Year’s party in the Sinology Kindergarten. Chen Chen saw the first child cry while reciting “under the bridge at the gate, there was a flock of ducks swimming by”, and she felt that it was a wise choice to stop Tuan Zi from performing an experiment once again.
Jiang Rui sat in the first row with Situ Ren.
“What will your little princess perform? About philosophy or science?”
Jiang Rui glanced at him and thought for a moment. “According to your question, it should be about botany.”
Situ Ren stared at the stage with excitement. “Great, I just know that this child is amazing…”
“You are the apple of my eye. Love you all day, I’ll never get tired. I’ll harvest a lot in the fall!” Tuan Zi wore the apple-shaped clothes, dancing on stage.
Situ Ren stiffened and asked Jiang Rui, “You… You said it’s about botany?”
“Well, she is saying that if you plant an apple tree, you will harvest a lot of apples in the fall,” Jiang Rui answered with a rare smile in his eyes. Situ Ren saw him blankly, without saying any words for a long time. Then he smiled and turned around.
“It seems that Jiang Rui loves the kid very much!” Situ Ren saw Chen Chen lifting Tuan Zi off the stage, saying to himself in his heart, “He must also love the kid’s mother. Otherwise, being a man like him, he would not marry her…”
Ying Cheng shot the video of Tuan Zi’s performing “Little Apple”, and sent the video to the Wan family’s base. Xin Qing happily asked Chen Huan to watch the video together.
“By the way, have you had a DNA test of that child?”
Chen Huan exclaimed when thinking about that. During that time, Ah Sha had been having obvious pregnancy reactions, and she had no time to do that.
“I’ll get to work on it right away!” Chen Huan ran away. Ah Sha entered through another door. “Mommy, what happened to my mother-in-law?”
Xin Qing looked at her belly with a smile. “It’s okay. It’s okay. Are you hungry? You may spit out what you ate tonight. How about I cook noodles for you?”
“No!” Ah Sha sat opposite to her on the sofa. “Mommy, would you like to travel with my dad after the Chinese New Year!?”
“Of course not!” Xin Qing gave her a look. “I have to leave after you give birth to your baby.”
Ah Sha sighed silently, when she thought of Boss Wan, Wan Qingsi and her dad, all of whom sneezed at and snorted at each other every day. They would even fight with each other as long as Xin Qing and Chen Huan didn’t pay attention to them.
The men of the family were like children, and she missed Xiao Rui badly, who never fought with his own family at least.
“I hope you can have a girl, there are too many men in our family.” Xin Qing curled her lips with dissatisfaction. “If you have a boy, you can try to have another child!”
Ah Sha did not know whether to cry or to laugh. “Mommy, didn’t you say that you like the kid named Tuan Zi very much?”
“So what? Xiao Rui doesn’t like Tuan Zi’s mother, and I don’t know when Tuan Zi will be taken away.”
“Mommy…” When Ah Sha was about to tell Xin Qing that Ying Cheng had called to inform her that Xiao Rui had already secretly obtained the marriage certificate with Tuan Zi’s mom, she saw Chen Huan rush in.
Xin Qing helped her stand firm. “Slow down, or you will knock into Ah Sha!”
“Tuan… Tuan Zi… Tuan Zi…” Chen Huan was too excited to say one word.
“What happened to Tuan Zi?” Xin Qing was also panicked. “She is not the daughter of Xiao Rui?”
Chen Huan shook her head hard and replied, “No… no.”
“But why?” Xin Qing shouted. “They resemble each other so much. How could it be possible?”
The men who heard the noise ran in fast, and Wan Qingsi stepped back with Ah Sha in his arms. “What happened?”
“Ah Qing?” Ying Qingcang put his arms around Xin Qing. “What’s going on?”
Boss Wan gave a hand chop on Chen Huan’s neck directly, and Chen Huan flopped bonelessly into his arms.
“She is too excited,” Boss Wan said with a blank expression and said, “let her calm down.” Then he picked up Chen Huan and left. The night before, he had been kicked out of bed, and at the moment he could catch up on it.
Xin Qing still wanted to wake up Chen Huan, but Ying Qingcang held her hand and took her away. “Ah Qing, Xunxun wounded me, and I need you to apply some medicine to my wound!”
There were Wan Qingsi and Ah Sha alone. He looked at the woman in his arms. “So, what happened?”
“I don’t know, either!” Ah Sha shook her head. She really didn’t know why Chen Huan was so excited. “It seems to be about Tuan Zi.”
Wan Qingsi kissed the corner of her mouth. “Haven’t you told mom that Xiao Rui has already married Tuan Zi’s mother?”
“I was about to say…” Ah Sha shrugged her shoulders. “But I was interrupted by mother-in-law.”
“Forget it.” Wan Qingsi picked her up all at once. “Let’s go back to the room, and I will apply the essential oil for you.”
Ah Sha panicked and shouted. “No, I don’t need that.”
“Why not? Without essential oil on your skin, stretch marks will be more likely to appear.” Wan Qingsi moved faster. “Good girl!”
“Liar!” Ah Sha’s voice was getting farther and farther. “It is obviously that you want to come on to me…”
After Jiang Rui and his families had a good sleep, it was the New Year’s Day. Early in the morning, Chen Chen started staring at Jiang Rui contemptuously.
“Say whatever you want to say.” Jiang Rui looked at her.
Chen Chen curled her lips with dissatisfaction. “You promised to take us to the carnival.”
“Yes, I promised.”
“So…”
“The carnival will start at ten o’clock, won’t it? It is only eight o’clock now, and why would you go there so early?”
Chen Chen threw the bread onto the table. “There are no tickets at all! We can’t go there.”
“Who told you that there were no tickets?” Jiang Rui curled his lips and sneered at her.
His smile made Chen Chen shiver.
