Kapitel 83: The Laws of Nature
"Seriously, we finally come out on a trip, and you still want to find a DIY kitchen? Aren't you afraid of getting tired of it?" Ren said as he set the dishes on the table. He nudged his daughter Yueyue with his elbow as she eagerly reached for the food with her chopsticks. "Don't be rude. Wait until your dad sits down before you start eating."
He then pulled out a chair and sat next to her.
"Hmph!" Yueyue huffed and turned her head away angrily, trying to push Ren's chair away. However, as a small child, she lacked the strength to move it. After a few futile attempts, she glared at Ren and moved her chair to sit closer to her mom.
"Bad daddy!" she pouted, her face scrunching up in anger.
ヽ(｀⌒メ)ノ
Remembering what happened that afternoon made Yueyue even more upset.
She and her dad had been playing in the snow, and Ren made a snowball bigger than her head. He threw it at her, knocking her down, and then started shoveling snow on top of her as if he were going to bury her!
The worst part was when he stood on her to keep her from getting up!
She decided she would never speak to him again!
He was too mean to kids!
This bad daddy had lost her favor for good.
Watching his angry little daughter, Ren felt the urge to tease her more.
"Oh no! Why is my chair moving by itself? This chair has such a strong will!" Ren said as he pretended his chair was moving towards Yueyue on its own.
"!!!" Yueyue quickly started moving her chair towards her mom.
But she was too small to move the chair easily, and soon she was pressed up against Ren.
"Oh no, my hand, my hand!" Ren exclaimed, grabbing his left hand with his right. "Why is my hand moving towards Yueyue's face? Oh no, it's going to pinch Yueyue's cheeks! Ah, I know, it must be the laws of nature at work, something I can't resist!"
"Ahhhh!" Yueyue screamed as Ren pinched her cheeks, flailing her hands with chopsticks in them.
"Clatter."
In her struggle, she accidentally threw her chopsticks into Jada's bowl of soup, splashing it all over Jada's face.
"..." Jada's face darkened immediately. A growl of frustration escaped her lips as she glared at them. "You two...!"
"Behave and eat your food!" she commanded, giving each of them a flick on the forehead.
After this, father and daughter separated, exchanged a look, and obediently prepared to eat.
But this truce was short-lived.
Father and daughter both reached for the same fried chicken leg, their eyes meeting in a fiery stare-off as sparks seemed to fly in the air.
"Yueyue, you shouldn't eat this. It's not good for kids to eat too much fried food!" Ren scolded, holding onto the chicken leg. "You've already had three. This last one should be for an adult."
Yueyue wasn't about to back down. Fried chicken was one of her favorite foods, and this was a battle she couldn't afford to lose!
(っ`-c)
"Daddy, other parents give all the best food to their kids! You always take my snacks, and now you want my chicken leg too!" Yueyue protested. She didn't hold the chicken leg with her chopsticks but instead pressed them down on the chicken to keep her dad from taking it.
"And besides, you've eaten as much as I have!"
"Yueyue, what are you talking about?" Ren's tone suddenly turned serious. "Do you think I want it for myself? You're being selfish. Think about how good your mom is to you. How many chicken legs has she had? Just one. I was going to give this one to her! You can't keep being so selfish. I advise you to reflect on your actions."
For mom?
Yueyue hesitated for a moment, her grip on the chicken leg loosening slightly.
Ren seized the opportunity and took the chicken leg.
"Hey, Daddy, you..."
Yueyue realized she had been tricked.
She started to get up and lunge at him but then stopped, puzzled.
Could she have been mistaken? Yueyue's little head filled with questions.
She watched as Ren gently placed the chicken leg in her mom's bowl with a sweet smile. "Here, honey, this is for you."
"Thank you." Jada smiled and reached for the chicken leg with her chopsticks.
As she tried to pick it up, she noticed Ren wasn't letting go of it.
Confused, she looked at him.
Ren then said, "Well... honey, you see how good I am to you? I worked hard to get this chicken leg for you. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Show appreciation?
Jada blushed.
Did he expect her to kiss him in front of Yueyue? That was too embarrassing.
But then Ren continued, "Since you're my wife, you don't need to give me anything expensive. Just let me have the chicken leg."
As Ren congratulated himself on his cleverness and moved to eat the chicken leg, it was snatched away mid-air.
Jada had taken it with her chopsticks, giving him a smile before spitting on the chicken leg.
Then she taunted him with a look that said, "Still want to eat it?"
But Jada underestimated Ren's shamelessness.
What was a little spit?
A famous doctor in Japan once said, "If you don't dare eat your beloved's poo, do you really love her?"
Ren couldn't bring himself to eat that, but saliva?
