Chapter 3407: A New Addition (23)

Gu Jinglian, on the other hand, had never heard of it.

In the preliminary round, they were assigned to the second group. The three of them stood in a row. Chu He was on the left and he was on the right. Baby Chu was naturally in the middle.

However, Gu Jinglian and Chu He were both too tall. Baby Chu could not even reach out to put his hands around their waists. The boy did not have much confidence. He felt that this game was too difficult, but ultimately, there was a prize for coming in first. It was a huge soft toy! Baby Chu really liked it.

A child at this age cannot resist furry toys. And as a prize, it had a different meaning than buying it himself!

A prize meant honor!

Baby Chu naturally looked forward to it, so he asked Chu He, “Mommy, are we able to win?”

Chu He glanced at Gu Jinglian, then looked at Baby Chu and said, “Winning is not a problem as long as your daddy isn’t a hindrance.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinglian snorted in disdain and said mockingly, “Who exactly is the hindrance here?”

Baby Chu whined and tugged at Gu Jinglian’s sleeve. “Daddy, we have to win! I heard that the prize is a huge soft toy!”

Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows and his tone softened. “Got it!”

Teacher Xue raised the whistle and looked around. Seeing that all the parents and children were ready, she clapped her hands and asked, “Is everyone ready?”

“We’re ready!”

“Then, let’s invite the parents to lead their precious ones towards the finish line!” Teacher Xue counted down. With a loud whistle, the group of parents and their children struggled towards the finish line!

The rules were very simple, but it was a tough game. Not only did it test the chemistry between the parents and the children, but because of the height difference, the parents had to be mindful of taking only small steps otherwise the child might not be able to keep up or worse, suffer a bad fall.

The little fatty was in his team. The moment the whistle went off, the three of them rushed towards the finish line.

The father and son were eager to win. When they were approaching the finishing point, they were so anxious that they dragged the little fellow down and caused him to take a big tumble, ending in quite a sorry state.

Initially, Gu Jinglian was unable to coordinate with Chu He. The two of them and Baby Chu fumbled along clumsily.

It was mainly because Gu Jinglian was too tall, and that became their greatest disadvantage.

Being such an arrogant person, it would be too much to expect him to cooperate with Chu He.

Chu He tried her best to work around him instead. In the end, their team barely reached the end point in time to bag the second place, entering the finals.

Baby Chu was elated, feeling that he was one step closer to victory.

Chu He was disgusted, however. “That’s so clumsy!”

Initially disadvantaged, Gu Jinglian’s survival instinct had kicked in, and the outcome had now caused him to feel less than satisfied. Upon hearing her remark, his expression became a little dangerous. “Who are you calling clumsy?”

“I said…”

“Mommy’s talking about me!” Baby Chu stood between the two adults, panicking as he said, “Mommy must be saying that I’m clumsy!”

Gu Jinglian was dumbstruck.

Before Chu He could get a word in, Baby Chu complained, “Sigh, it’s all my fault. I’m so clumsy and held you back first place!”

“We will need to stop the fumbling and clumsiness. Don’t stumble again in the finals!” Chu He said. “Otherwise, Baby Chu will lose his placing!”

Gu Jinglian said, “Don’t worry.”

Chu He was trying to goad him, but she didn’t expect that it would work on him.
