Chapter 140 - Trading the scrumptious food with labor (3)
The little kiddo thought about it for a second, stuck up three fingers, and said, “I am about 30% full . ”
Zhou Yi, sitting across from him, mimicked him and also stuck up three fingers, “I am also about 30% full . ”
Yan Shuyu: “……”
At this rate, it would take another painstaking two hours for the both of them to be done . There was no way they could make the activities at the institution then . That wasn’t going to work . Resigned, she put down her cellphone and proposed to her son tenderly, “Yuanbao, this is too difficult for you . What say if mommy feeds you?”
Zhang Yuanjia, on the other hand, felt pretty comfortable eating on his own . He gripped onto his little bowl tightly with his little hands and pointed at Zhou Yi with his chin . “Young brother is eating by himself . I want to eat by myself too . ”
The little smarty purposefully stressed the fact that Zhou Yi was younger than him in order to show that he himself was very capable .
Yan Shuyu looked at Zhou Yi, who was happily eating across from her, and said, “Uncle Zhou will be feeding Xiao Yi in a little bit as well . ”

To her surprise, that did not work on Zhang Yuanjia . His burden of being a big brother was quite heavy . He insisted . “I will let mommy feed me after Uncle Zhou starts feeding Xiao Yi . ”
Kids nowadays weren’t easy to fool . Yan Shuyu sighed and looked over at the boss to make a deal with him . “Em, Zhou…”
Meeting the boss’s smile that really wasn’t a smile, she decisively converted “Boss Zhou” to “Zhou Qinhe” . Okay, he said she couldn’t call him “Boss Zhou” anymore, addressing him by his full name should be fine, right?
Surely, the boss looked much better after she had switched the way she referred to him . She discussed with him softly, “Our activities start at 2 PM and it’s a bit of a distance from here . Do you want to feel Zhou Yi? I will feed Yuanbao as well . That way we can save some time . ”
Zhou Qinhe didn’t give her a hard time this time but nodded agreeably, “Okay . ”

Then he started feeding Zhou Yi . He didn’t seem very familiar with it, but it's at least faster than the kid eating on his own .
Yan Shuyu, with a smile on her, also took away his son’s little bowl and said, “Look . Xiao Yi’s daddy is feeding him now . You let mommy feed you too, alright?”
Zhang Yuanbao has no more excuses this time, so he could no nothing but opened his mouth docilely and waited for his mother to feed him .
Things went down a different path after she had started feeding him . Yan Shuyu had just put a piece of cod in her son’s bowl before she heard the little male lead across from her said he wanted cod also . So she split the piece of fish that she had just deboned into two and fed half to Zhang Yuanbao and the other half went inside little Zhou Yi’s mouth .
After that one time, the little male lead was stuck onto her . When Zhang Yuanbao had some soup, he’d lean over and say he wanted soup also . Zhang Yuanbao would have a shrimp, and he’d opened his mouth and waited for shrimp . Finally, Zhou Yi leapt off his seat, walked around, and shoved himself in between Yan Shuyu and Zhang Yuanjia to be fed .

Yan Shuyu: “……”
Since when did the male lead become so shameless?
It didn’t bother Zhou Qinhe that his son had abandoned him . He put the bowl down and smiled at her, “I’ve heard that kids enjoy joining in the fun . Food probably tastes better to him that way . ”
Yan Shuyu wanted to say “Yeah, right!” As nicely as the boss had put it, Yan Shuyu thought that was probably because the little male lead didn’t care for his dad’s clumsy way of feeding him . After all, even Yan Shuyu could tell how clumsy he was . The boss was even more like a stepdad than her, an instant mother .
But the boss was paying for the meal today and little Zhou Yi had already run here all by himself . She couldn’t very well send him away . She had no choice but to set aside her disgruntledness and took up responsibilities as the servant . She feeds a mouthful to her son and a mouthful to the male lead . She’d just have to think of it as trading the scrumptious food with labor .
