268: A scheming little girl

A scheming little girl

The children were responsible for jumping from one hoop into another. There were only two hoops, so after the child jumped into a new one, their parent would have to rush to place the old one in front of them so their child could be the fastest.0

This event tested a child's long jumping ability, as well as the speed and accuracy of their parents' cooperation. If the hoop was placed too close to the previous one, the child would be able to jump into it easily, but they would also move too slowly. However, if the hoop was too far, the child would not be able to reach it, and the referee would call them out for missing the jump.

Thus, a careful balance of distance had to be achieved so speed would not have to be sacrificed.

Qin Yan wanted to get on the field and play with the little bun, so Xi Ting watched them from the sidelines with a smile.

A girl standing behind Lil Xiaobao suddenly patted Lil Xiaobao's shoulder. He turned his head to look at this girl, who then asked coldly, "Xi Xiaobao, can I pair up with you for the three-legged race later?"

Qin Yan glanced at the girl behind Lil bun. Seeing her 'innocent and expectant' expression, Qin Yan did not say anything.

This was because the girl's eyes were not pure at all. Despite her young age, her eyes were already filled with scheming. After all, children did not know how to hide their emotions well. When the students saw that Lil bun had a powerful background, it was clear that a few of them were going to immediately try to curry favor with him.

In the face of this little girl's expectations, Lil Xiaobao did not say anything. The girl's mother revealed a gentle smile, "Children nowadays are so precocious. They already start to like boys at girls in the second grade. Back when I was in primary school, we did not know anything. Now, these kids understand everything."

Qin Yan looked at the girl's mother coldly.

This was…her pressuring her darling to pair up with her daughter!

However, whether it was this woman or her daughter, Qin Yan had seen this kind of attitude too many times.

She smiled at the woman, "Our Xiaobao is only five years old. Although some call him a prodigy, he is only five years old, after all. His emotional development has yet to reach the level of a second-grade primary school student."

After saying that, Qin Yan did not speak again.

Lil bun looked coldly at the girl behind him who was filled with anticipation. He said, "My partner is Meng Xinran."

The little girl revealed a sweet smile. "So it turns out that your partner is Sis. It doesn't matter. I'll go tell Sis about it later."

Seeing this little girl act like this reminded Qin Yan of the Qin Muran.

Qin Muran had also been like this. As long as she wanted something, she always felt like she deserved it unconditionally. She took everything for granted and was never grateful.

Thus, when she heard the girl's words, Qin Yan could not help but laugh. She glanced at Lil bun, wanting to see how he would deal with her.

Who could have guessed that Lil bun would only glance at her indifferently and ignore her?

The girl thought that that was Lil Xiaobao tacitly agreeing, so she smiled at her mother.

The competition was about to start, so all the parents and children got into position. When the starting pistol sounded, the parents quickly began to place the hoops down in front of their child. The child would jump one hoop forward, and the parents would immediately throw the previous hoop in front of them. The child would then hop to the next one, and so on.

All these parent-and-child pairs were doing well at the beginning. They were all moving quickly. Soon, some completed the 27-yard length and reached the opposite side.

The corresponding parent-and-child pairs on the opposite side set off immediately. They were not as fast as the first team, so the others caught up to them a little, but they still completed the task very well.

The children who were not participating in the tournament shouted with all their might from the sidelines. They all wanted their class to succeed.

The parent and child of the third pair of the event were Madam Yuan and Yuan Mingbo.

Madam Yuan was obviously not in the mood for games. She would either react too slowly to Yuan Mingbo jumping from one hoop to another and not place the hoop in front of him quickly enough, or she would throw the hoop too far.

Yuan Mingbo stepped on the hoop twice because he could not jump that far.

If both his feet landed outside the circle, the whole team would be disqualified.

The teacher was watching from the sidelines and shouting hard, telling Yuan Mingbo's mother to speed up. She should not throw the hoop but gently lay it down. Otherwise, since the hoop was elastic, it would bounce away, and his whole class might be disqualified.

Later, once Yuan Mingbo's mother came back to her senses, she was slightly better. However, because she still had something on her mind, her movements were not coordinated. The other three classes that were competing with them all took this opportunity to surpass them.

When Madam Yuan saw Qin Yan, her eyes lit up and she immediately came over in the middle of the race.

"Miss, which family are you the daughter of?"

Qin Yan glanced at Madam Yuan and ignored her.

She looked at the child in front of her who had already jumped into the next hoop. She bent down and asked, "How far can you jump? Let me see."

The little guy jumped as far as he could.

Then, he turned to look at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan nodded, "I see. Come back."

"Okay." Lil Xiaobao nodded and went to Qin Yan's side. He did not even look at Madam Yuan.

Madam Yuan realized that she was being ignored. She was very angry.

On the other hand, Qin Yan smiled and welcomed the classmates and parents coming over from the opposite side. She took the hoop and quickly put it down. Lil bun quickly jumped in. He had planned to wait until the next ring was put down like the other kids, but Lil bun, who had just jumped into the ring, realized that Qin Yan had already moved the ring the moment he jumped.

By the time Lil Xiaobao landed, the next hoop was already on the ground. Therefore, he did not waste a single second and quickly jumped.

Under shocked gazes from the teachers and students, Qin Yan quickly moved the hoops as Lil bun jumped. He did not even need to look before they landed under his feet.

Compared to other parents, who waited for their children to jump into a new hoop before they turned around and ran to get the previous one, Qin Yan and the little guy were at least three times faster.

Moreover, what surprised the judges was that every time Qin Yan released the hoop, Lil bun would land right in the middle of it. It was as if he and the hoop were in perfect sync.

The 27 yards were cleared with astonishing speed with Qin Yan and Lil Xiaobao's teamwork.

Yuan Mingbo had now gone from first place to last place, to second last place, to back to tying with them for first place.

Qin Yan's near-perfect movements immediately captured the parents' attention. As Qin Yan continued with her strategy, the others began imitating her. Although they could not do it as swiftly as her, her method still helped them get a lot faster.

Qin Yan had managed to go from second-last place to first, but she was still tied. In addition to that, the parents were now a lot faster upon trying out her method.

On the other side, the scheming girl and her mother were slightly slower, but they were still able to maintain a good speed.

In the last group, the parents and children worked together. When they reached the finish line, there was only a small distance between them and the second placers.

When the children saw that their class had won, they erupted into cheers.

"Aunty, you're so amazing!"

"Aunty, you're so beautiful and amazing!"

"Aunty, you look so young. I really want to call you Big Sis!"

The children instantly surrounded Qin Yan. Each and every one of them were as sweet as honey.

Qin Yan smiled and spoke to everyone. The parents also smiled and greeted her.

The next event was the three-legged race. In order to be with Xi Xiaobao, Meng Xinjie ran up to Meng Xinran and said to her, "Sis, I'll pair up with Xi Xiaobao later. You can go pair up with Yuan Mingbo."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Meng Xinran was at a loss.
