Chapter 81: This Posture, It's Too Ambiguous

"Thump!"

Jiang Baobao seemed to hear the sound of her own powerful heartbeat.

She blinked her eyes, trying hard to calm her inexplicably restless mood.

Immediately, she heard the man's calm voice, devoid of any emotion, whisper: "Try walking."

"Okay..."

Jiang Baobao agreed subconsciously and shuffled a step forward.

Li Beijue followed her movement and also took a step.

The pink balloon drifted lightly from between the two of them and fell to the ground.

Jiang Baobao: "..."

She knew it!

How could there possibly be any chemistry between her and this guy, Li Beijue!

Li Beijue frowned, bent down, and picked up the balloon.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but worry: "Are you sure that if we do this... we can really win the championship?"

She was a little afraid that if they didn't get the prize, Yanbao would feel disappointed.

"We can try." Li Beijue still wore that calm, unruffled expression.

As he spoke, he took Jiang Baobao's hand again and placed the balloon between them.

"My steps will be a little smaller; you go at your own pace."

He appeared to be giving an order, but in reality, he was adjusting himself.

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, suddenly feeling that the person in front of her was somewhat incredible.

Li Beijue could be this easy to talk to?

It seems he also wanted to work hard to win the prize for Yanbao!

Fine, this time he was barely qualified!

Jiang Baobao nodded with satisfaction in her heart, then focused her attention on the balloon between them and tentatively took a step.

Li Beijue had indeed adjusted a lot this time, matching Jiang Baobao's pace and stepping forward steadily.

The balloon between the two of them did not slip again.

"We should still be a little careful; popping it won't do either."

Jiang Baobao whispered a reminder and tentatively walked another step.

Li Beijue hurried to keep up.

The two of them adjusted like this for a good while and finally found some chemistry.

The adaptation time given by the referee was also almost up.

The two stood ready at the starting line, surrounded by couples holding hands, each pair looking determined to win.

"Bang!"

The starting pistol sounded.

Unlike previous races, everyone did not rush out immediately.

Instead, each pair moved forward slowly, hoping to win through stability.

Jiang Baobao watched the balloon between them cautiously, moving her steps bit by bit.

She was terrified of accidentally popping it or letting it fall to the ground.

It had been a bit awkward during practice.

But once the race started, the two of them proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

Li Beijue matched Jiang Baobao's pace, steadily transporting the balloon to the other side.

Along the way, there was no shortage of families walking faster and faster, and the sound of balloons popping came frequently.

The children on the sidelines were also cheering enthusiastically, their shouts merging into one.

"Daddy, Mommy, go!"

Yanbao stood on a small chair, trying his best to shout at the top of his lungs to cheer for Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue.

The children nearby who were not participating also shouted enthusiastically, watching in the direction of the two.

Jiang Baobao was neither impatient nor rash, wanting only to win through stability.

Li Beijue lowered his eyes slightly and saw the tiny beads of sweat on her fair, delicate nose.

His heart suddenly gave a heavy thump.

A flash of annoyance crossed his eyes, and he quickly looked away.

The five minutes ended quickly.

The whistle blew.

Jiang Baobao finally let out a complete sigh of relief.

The next second, she heard a "bang," as if something had exploded behind her!

Jiang Baobao was startled, her body subconsciously leaning toward Li Beijue!

Immediately after, there was a "snap!"

The balloon between the two of them was also squeezed and popped.

Li Beijue reached out subconsciously, catching her in his arms, his brows knitting together involuntarily.

Jiang Baobao had been startled twice in a row; when she came to her senses, she realized that colorful ribbons were drifting down from above.

The two of them were still holding hands, and the scene actually looked somewhat dreamy.

A strange feeling flashed suddenly through Li Beijue's heart.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Li Beijue deliberately kept a cold face and said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of anything? Can these things scare you too? I agreed to participate in the project with you for the sake of Yanbao; you had better not have any other ideas."

After finishing, he pushed the person in his arms away without hesitation.

Jiang Baobao instantly snapped back to reality, a breath of air suddenly stuck in her chest.

She had really been scared just now, okay?

Why was Li Beijue always so narcissistic?

It sounded as if she had deliberately thrown herself into his arms!

Jiang Baobao really wanted to snap back at him directly.

But thinking that there were other people around, she had no choice but to suppress her anger.

She had originally intended to go find Yanbao as soon as she collected the prize, but she hadn't expected the other participating parents to crowd over.

"This lady, you and your husband are truly amazing! We originally thought we could take first place!" a couple who had taken second place said, striking up a conversation in a friendly manner.

Jiang Baobao smiled kindly and hurriedly replied politely, "You are also very amazing; if we competed again, it wouldn't be certain who would take first place."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she subconsciously wanted to leave.

Immediately, she saw the two people in front of her looking behind her with subtle expressions.

Her heart skipped a beat, and only then did she remember the person behind her.

How could she have forgotten Li Beijue?

The two of them had just participated in the competition together, and acting like strangers after it ended was just too strange, right?

Jiang Baobao suddenly realized this, hurriedly turned around, and hooked her arm through Li Beijue's.

She then deliberately acted affectionately and wheedled, "Hubby, I was just thinking about our son's prize and actually forgot about you; you won't be angry with me, will you?"

Because of the word "hubby," Li Beijue was dazed for a moment.

In his mind, the voice of Jiang Baobao from six years ago, always sweetly calling him "hubby," instantly surfaced.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.

This woman actually dared to pinch him?

Li Beijue looked down abruptly and saw Jiang Baobao looking at him with a "kind" smile on her face.

Jiang Baobao couldn't wait for Li Beijue's response and really wanted to just let go and walk away.

Could this guy act or not?

Or was he deliberately not taking the bait, wanting to make her lose face?

She was full of frustration, but finally saw the man in front of her nod slightly and give a grunt of acknowledgment.

"Sorry, my husband doesn't like to talk much."

Jiang Baobao smiled at the couple in front of her, chatted for a couple more sentences, and only then pulled Li Beijue away.

As soon as they approached the rest area, she immediately let go of his arm.

Yanbao had already rushed toward the two of them.

"Mommy! You and Daddy are so awesome!"

The little guy was full of excitement, directly ignored the prize, and grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand.

Jiang Baobao looked at Yanbao's smiling face and felt very satisfied.

She took the little guy and sat back down, intending to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, Yanbao suddenly turned into a little steward, first handing water to the two of them, and then taking out some cut fruit.

Jiang Baobao was amused by Yanbao's attentive appearance and couldn't help but pinch his little face.

She casually took a small fork, speared a piece of apple, and put it into her mouth.

Immediately after, she speared another piece and sent it to Li Beijue's lips.

Then her expression suddenly stiffened, her face full of embarrassment.

Oh no!

She had gotten used to feeding him food at noon!

She had actually handed it over out of habit!
