Chapter 79: Might As Well Do What A Married Couple Should Do
The three of them ate together, and under Yanbao's occasional reminders, Jiang Baobao reluctantly fed Li Beijue a few more bites of food, though she had already rolled her eyes to the heavens in her heart.
If it weren't for the sake of making Yanbao happy!
Li Beijue wouldn't even be qualified to enjoy this kind of treatment!
After finishing lunch, Jiang Baobao finally let out a complete sigh of relief and quickly dropped her chopsticks.
Yanbao was also very satisfied with the performance of the two just now and did not continue to "make things difficult" for them.
Jiang Baobao checked the time, and thinking about the competitions in the afternoon, she looked at Yanbao with some curiosity and asked, "Baby, do you have any other competitions this afternoon..."
Her words had just fallen when she saw the teacher from earlier walking over with a registration form.
"Parents, our afternoon competitions are all team events. Those who wish to sign up can come directly to me to register. Please return to the playground to gather in one hour."
The teacher shook the registration form in their hand, and immediately, some children stood up excitedly and pulled their parents over.
A look of envy suddenly appeared in Yanbao's eyes.
He tentatively tugged at the corner of Jiang Baobao's clothes and asked in a small voice, "Mommy, can we participate in an event together?"
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao's expression couldn't help but show some hesitation.
Participating wouldn't be a problem...
But working with that guy Li Beijue would definitely be very troublesome!
Maybe they wouldn't even win a ranking, and instead, it would make Yanbao unhappy...
Thinking this, Jiang Baobao looked speechlessly at Li Beijue on the side and asked directly, "Is there anything you want to participate in?"
Li Beijue subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But his gaze unexpectedly met Yanbao's big eyes, which were filled with anticipation, and he swallowed his words back down.
"Whatever." Li Beijue tossed out an answer casually.
Jiang Baobao looked at the group of children not far away who had almost surrounded the teacher, and she also made a decision.
"Baby, go sign up. Pick any two events you like, and Daddy and Mommy will participate with you."
"Mm-hmm! Thank you, Mommy! Thank you, Daddy!"
Yanbao jumped up excitedly, his face showing a rare sense of high spirits.
After saying that, he ran quickly toward the teacher.
Jiang Baobao watched him squeeze into the crowd of children with a smile, feeling a sense of softness in her heart.
So this little guy was so easy to satisfy...
Yanbao registered the names of the three of them with the teacher, and only then did he hop back to Jiang Baobao's side.
After eating some small snacks, the group returned to the edge of the playground to gather.
The afternoon competition started quickly.
Jiang Baobao thought they would have to wait a while longer, but she didn't expect to hear Yanbao's name as soon as she sat down.
"Children whose names were just called, please take your mom and dad and gather over there on the playground! Our competition will begin in ten minutes!"
The broadcast repeated the competition information over and over again.
Jiang Baobao stood up, unable to laugh or cry, and asked curiously, "Baby, what events did you sign up for?"
"Basketball." Li Beijue spoke up suddenly, attracting Jiang Baobao's attention.
She was slightly stunned, and only then did she see that quite a few miniature basketball hoops had already been placed over there.
The three of them stood at the edge of the playground and listened carefully as the physical education teacher explained the rules.
This game required the cooperation of three people.
Dad and Mom would each be responsible for one task: one for dribbling the ball, and one for holding the basketball hoop and adjusting its position.
The child would need to shoot the ball; each basket made would count as one point, and the one with the higher score would win.
Once the competition rules were explained, all the groups immediately began discussing the division of labor.
Jiang Baobao looked at the distance across the field and couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
In terms of height, it was naturally more appropriate for Li Beijue to hold the hoop and adjust the position to catch the ball.
But if she were the one dribbling the basketball, she wouldn't run fast enough, which would also affect Yanbao's score...
"Mommy, where do you want to be?" Yanbao was also a bit indecisive, so he looked up at Jiang Baobao and asked.
Jiang Baobao shook her head and subconsciously looked at Li Beijue, her expression carrying a hint of unconscious seeking for help.
Being looked at like that by the two of them, Li Beijue's heart stirred slightly, and a strange feeling suddenly arose.
His gaze flickered for a moment, and he said in a low voice, "I'll pass the ball; if the hoop is held too high, it will be strenuous for Yanbao."
Jiang Baobao had no objections and nodded in agreement.
She had just intended to warm up when she suddenly heard Li Beijue beside her speak: "Don't hold me back."
"It's not certain who will be holding whom back!"
Jiang Baobao immediately retorted unhappily and glared at Li Beijue with annoyance.
She knew this guy couldn't say anything nice!
Just wait and see!
Jiang Baobao's fighting spirit flared up, and she stood opposite the children along with the other parents who were holding hoops.
The parents who needed to dribble the basketball stood fifty meters away.
"Beep—!"
The whistle blew, and the competition officially began.
Li Beijue took the basketball and rushed toward Yanbao first!
While other parents were still halfway there, he had already placed the basketball in his hand beside the little guy.
Yanbao hurriedly grabbed the ball and looked at Jiang Baobao on the opposite side.
Jiang Baobao nodded at him, focusing her full attention as she prepared to adjust her position based on the ball's trajectory.
Yanbao pressed his little lips together tightly and threw the ball in his hand!
Jiang Baobao moved immediately, stepping back slightly.
The basketball passed steadily through the hoop!
Yanbao's eyes lit up in an instant!
They scored a point!
Daddy and Mommy are so amazing!
Thinking this, he immediately turned to go get the other basketballs.
Only then did he realize that in the time it took to throw just one ball, two more had appeared beside him.
As for the other children, once they threw the ball in their hands, they could only wait around.
In the following competition, the three of them crushed the other groups with an almost overwhelming advantage.
Li Beijue's speed was truly too fast; before others had even retrieved one ball, he was already on his way to get more.
Jiang Baobao also used all her strength, managing to catch the balls thrown by the little one almost every time.
The ten minutes passed very quickly...
"Time's up—the competition is over!" the referee's voice rang out.
The last ball in Yanbao's hand fell into the hoop just in time.
Looking at the scoreboard again.
The family with the best performance only had a dozen or so points.
But Yanbao's group had scored twenty-five points!
"Wow! Baby, we won!"
Jiang Baobao was as happy as a child, and she scooped the little one in front of her up into her arms.
Yanbao was also incredibly excited, praising them loudly: "Mommy is so amazing! Daddy is also amazing! You ran so fast!"
Jiang Baobao was in a good mood and looked at Li Beijue, who was standing to the side, with a smile.
It was indeed thanks to this guy...
If not for the many balls he brought over, they wouldn't have been able to win so easily.
But she had worked very hard too!
Thinking of this, and recalling someone's mockery before the match, she asked deliberately: "How about it? Who was it that said I would hold us back earlier?"
Li Beijue let out a cold snort, not bothering to respond.
Immediately after, they heard Yanbao say: "Daddy, Mommy, I signed up for two events, so we should have to wait a little longer..."
"No problem." Jiang Baobao was completely energized and agreed without a second thought, deliberately giving him a taste of his own medicine: "Mommy can help you win another championship! As for your daddy, since he ran so fast just now, he better not hold me back later if he runs out of energy!"
