105 105 Forum competition
Tan Rou didn’t expose Tao Qi’s arrogance. Instead, she pointed to the vegetables at the side. “Don’t just focus on the meat dishes. Have some vegetables as well.”
Tao Qi shook his head in resistance. “I don’t like to eat them!”
Tan Rou didn’t force him and just said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter to me. I just heard that if you only eat meat and not vegetables, you’ll get a lot fatter. When that happens, you’ll become a small meatball, and you won’t be able to beat me. That’s good news to me! Don’t eat any of it okay?!”
Tao Qi’s eyes widened in suspicion and he subconsciously retorted, “That’s impossible! I exercise every day!”
Tan Rou shrugged her shoulders. “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.”
Tao Qi thought for a moment and finally picked up the vegetable with a look of disgust and took a bite, thinking, ‘I’m doing this to defeat this bad woman, so it’s nothing to sacrifice a little.’
However, when the vegetables entered his mouth, Tao Qi didn’t feel so resistant towards it. Tao Qi had always been resistant to eating vegetables and no matter what anyone said, it wouldn’t work. But at this time, he unexpectedly tasted the fragrance of the vegetables. It didn’t have the taste that Tao Qi hated at all. Instead, it was refreshing and the greasiness from eating all that meat went missing.
Tao Qi’s wrinkled little face slowly calmed down. After a few bites, he no longer despised it as much as before.
Tan Rou chuckled. “See, you’re quite cute when you’re being obedient. Why do you have to turn yourself into a little hedgehog?”
Tao Qi flew into a rage from embarrassment and quickly put on an attitude that he was against Tan Rou. “It’s only towards you!”
Tan Rou nodded. “Okay, you can continue doing that to me.”
Tao Qi narrowed his eyes. After eating, he had the energy to talk back to Tan Rou. “Don’t think that you can bribe me with such a simple meal. I don’t care how you please the others. Those tricks are useless against Me! I’ll drive you out sooner or later!”
Tan Rou didn’t care about it at all. She even wanted to laugh. “Sure, I’ll wait and watch how you kick me out. Little master, are you full now? If you are, don’t hang around in front of me. We don’t like each other anyway, so let’s go back to our rooms and do our own things!”
Tao Qi glared at tan Rou, unconvinced. “Don’t treat me like a child! I’m not as useless as you, with my mind only into games. I still have to go back to my room to participate in the forum competition!”
Tan Rou got up and brought Tao Qi a glass of milk. She was getting interested. You’re still participating in those competitions?”
Tao Qi took a sip of milk and licked the milk stains on his lips. He puffed up his chest and said, “Of course, it’s held overseas. Due to the time difference, it would be held at night. I’m participating in the adult group.”
Tan Rou nodded. “You’re a smart boy.”
Tao Qi felt that he had made Tan Rou look at him in a new light, and he was even more proud. He sat on his chair and finished his milk happily.
Tan Rou quickly cleaned the tableware, washed it, and placed it neatly. Then, she took the initiative to ask, “Then can I watch? I haven’t seen these competitions before.”
Tao Qi glanced at tan Rou and nodded in agreement. He thought that it was a good time to show Tan Rou how good he was, so she wouldn’t dare to treat him like a child and deceive him in the future.
He had already heard from Sister Jingjing that Tan Rou was an ignorant and incompetent idiot. She would definitely be shocked by his intelligence and wisdom!
Thus, the siblings left the kitchen and went to Tao Qi’s room.
Tao Qi didn’t forget to remind her about the rules. “You’re never allowed to enter my room. Tonight is just a special occasion. You’re not allowed to touch my things!” As he spoke, his expression was fierce. Little did he know that in Tan Rou’s eyes, he was no different from a kitten baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. He was indeed a cute boy.
However, Tan Rou still nodded in agreement.
Tao Qi was finally satisfied. He sat at his desk and turned on his computer, then logged into the forum he had mentioned.
Tan Rou, who was sitting by his side, glanced at it and raised her eyebrows. She knew about this forum. To put it bluntly, she had had enough fun on it and didn’t continue playing on it. However, it was not bad for Tao Qi to have come into contact with it at his age.
Tan Rou didn’t say anything but quietly watched Tao Qi playing in the competition.
In the beginning, Tao Qi had a smooth game. His IQ was much higher than children his age and he could even do the same test paper as the outstanding adults in the forum.
But gradually, the questions became more and more difficult, and Tao Qi began to struggle.
These questions were from all over the place and contained the core knowledge of various academic fields. The scope was extremely wide, and the difficulty of it was at a professional level. No matter how high Tao Qi’s IQ was, he couldn’t help but be a little confused at this moment.
The questions became more obscure and difficult to understand towards the end. Tao Qi was getting anxious.
Moreover, Tan Rou was sitting right next to him, which made Tao Qi even more nervous. He didn’t want to lose face in front of Tan Rou. His thoughts were in a mess, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
