Chapter 1109: Brain Teasers
“Alright, just one more, and then we’ll go to sleep, okay?”
“Okay!”
“Alright then, listen up. Putting a live chicken and a live goose into the refrigerator, why didn’t the chicken and the goose freeze to death?”
After the experience earlier, Ningning had already understood that there was a difference between brain teasers and ordinary riddles.
“Because the chicken and the goose have feathers to keep them warm, and that’s why they didn’t freeze to death!”
This answer seemed to make up at least 70% of the answers from children who were asked this for the first time.
“No!” His answer was denied straightaway.
Little Ningning once again fell into deep thought.
“Then… It’s because the goose might be a swan, and swans aren’t afraid of the cold. And so the goose protected the chicken, and they all survived!”
Pfft.
…
“No.”
The goose protected the chicken? He must have watched too many cartoons, right?
Again no?
The little boy started scratching his ears and cheeks in frustration.
“Mom, Ningning can’t guess it right.”...
The mother and son didn’t notice when the door to the room opened. Mo Boyuan leaned against the door, his gaze ever so gentle as he looked in their direction.
“Because the fridge wasn’t plugged in!”
Both Jiang Tingxu and Ningning got a big shock at the sudden loud voice. Two pairs of eyes looked over at the same time to see that Mo Boyuan had already walked in.
Jiang Tingxu smiled.
“How do you know?”
She never thought this man would know any brain teasers! What else did she not know about him?
“How could I not know the answer to such a simple riddle?” he boasted.
Well, that was confident of him!
“Mom, did Dad get the answer right just now?” Ning Ning asked curiously.
Jiang Tingxu nodded.
“Yes, he did.”
For a moment, the little boy looked very dejected.
The main reason was that he couldn’t guess the previous one, and now he couldn’t guess this one either. Was he that dumb?
He began to doubt himself.
Fortunately, as a mother, Jiang Tingxu was attentive to her child’s needs and realized the problem immediately.
“Mom will go and buy a brain teaser book after work tomorrow,” she said.
Ningning would naturally understand more after reading up.
She could even draw up inferences from there!
When the child heard this, he instantly forgot what he had been depressed about.
“Yes, yes, yes, buy it.”
Jiang Tingxu pinched her son’s chubby little arm again.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Go to bed.”
“Goodnight, Mom.”
“Goodnight, Dad.”
“Goodnight, baby.”
Mo Boyuan did not respond. He frowned as he looked at the mother and son. His gaze was mainly focused on his wife.
“You’re not going back to your room tonight?” he asked.
There was a sense of déjà vu in his tone.
How could Jiang Tingxu not understand the meaning behind his words? However, she had already promised to sleep with her son tonight. Of course, she could not go back on her word!
“Yes, I will be sleeping here tonight. You should go back to your room and rest early.”
“Huh!”
Mo Boyuan snorted coldly. He was not very happy as he took his leave.
The corner of Jiang Tingxu’s mouth twitched a little, but she still did not get up. She hugged her son and closed her eyes.
Mo Boyuan returned to the room next door and laid on the spacious bed. He was seriously not used to it from head to toe and could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
He tossed and turned. Finally, he found a brand new eye mask from the drawer on the bedside table, put it on, and grudgingly fell into slumber.
His body clock woke him up naturally the next morning, but his head was still muddled because he had fallen asleep too late last night. He did not even feel like he had slept for two hours.
He grabbed two fistfuls of his hair in frustration, sat up, and removed the eye mask. He then got out of bed and went straight into the bathroom.
