Chapter 632 - 519: When God Closes a Door for You, He Will Surely Open a Window—Only to Shut It Again
Huang Jun cradled Qingqing and Weiwei, leisurely weaving through the bustling crowd outside the grand hall. Stepping through the shadows of the corridor, he slowly ascended the steps. His original plan was to head to the third-floor class (4) where the next challenge awaited.
But...
As he witnessed the parents flocking towards that common goal, a nimble idea quietly sprouted in his mind.
He decided.
Not to follow the crowd, but to carve out his own path.
So...
He looked down at the two expectant little faces in his arms, his eyes sparkling with a loving light: "Qingqing, Weiwei, Daddy has a great idea. Instead of going to the big class to join the hustle and bustle, why don’t we go to your own class to play games? How does that sound?"
Qingqing immediately looked at Huang Jun with her clear, water-like eyes. A sweet smile played at the corners of her mouth as she nodded without hesitation: "Yay! Daddy, I’ll listen to you!"
"Yeah~"
Weiwei promptly followed suit, nodding eagerly, her little face beaming with excitement: "Wherever Daddy says to go, we’ll go! I really, really want to play the ’Blow the Ping Pong Ball’ game in our class first!"
Qingqing eagerly chimed in, "I really want to play too. We’ve been secretly practicing at home for a long time. We’re sure to pass on the first try!"
Weiwei laughed, looking at her sister, her eyes filled with the same anticipation: "Hee hee, sister, that’s exactly what I was thinking!"
"Haha, it seems our little warriors can’t wait to show their skills!"
Huang Jun couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched the two little ones, their faces full of eager anticipation. Then he kindly announced, "So, let’s happily decide on it! Let’s head to class (4) and aim to succeed in one go!"
Saying that, he carefully adjusted his hold to make sure Qingqing and Weiwei were both comfortable and safe. Then, with steady strides, he continued towards the first-floor class (4) classroom.
Along the way, they were pleasantly surprised to find that many families shared their idea, choosing to avoid the noisy crowd and seek out quieter classes, each exploring the joy of their own challenge game...
Thus.
When Huang Jun brought the children to the threshold of class (4), quite a few families with the same idea had quietly gathered behind them.
The classroom inside was organized yet infused with a playful atmosphere.
Cabinets and chairs were neatly arranged against the walls, leaving ample space in the center.
Ten carefully arranged tables became the perfect stage for the "Blow the Ping Pong Ball" game, waiting for the kids to show their skills.
Seeing parents arrive one after another, Xie Jianing greeted them with a warm smile, "Welcome, parents, to the ’Blow the Ping Pong Ball’ challenge zone of class (4)..."
She then briefly introduced the game rules, ensuring that every parent present could quickly understand and join in the fun.
Already familiar with the game rules, Huang Jun was standing in front of a table with Qingqing, ready to start their challenge.
While designing the game, full consideration was given to the younger kids’ age, ensuring the difficulty wouldn’t be too high, but also not too easy, for then the challenge’s fun would be lost.
Just like this "Blow the Ping Pong Ball" game, although it seemed like just blowing a small ball into two cups would mean winning, the two cups were not right next to each other. There’s a small distance between them, requiring a bit of effort and skill.
All in all, it was quite a challenge.
"Daddy, watch me, I’m about to start!"
Qingqing announced excitedly with her crisp, bell-like voice.
As she spoke, she widened her eyes, fixing her gaze tightly on the ping pong ball above the cup, ready for the challenge. Taking a deep breath, her chest rose and fell slightly as she seemed to gather all her courage and strength for this moment.
Then her little cheeks puffed up, round like a squirrel ready to strike, she summoned all her might and blew a strong breath...
However, things didn’t go as planned. The ping pong ball simply bounced lightly as if playing a prank on Qingqing, intentionally avoiding her target. It joyfully rolled around the table before cheekily bouncing off and landing on the floor.
Qingqing’s little face instantly showed a hint of puzzlement and surprise, her big round eyes wide open as if saying, "Huh? What’s going on? Why didn’t it go as expected?"
"Oh dear, this ping pong ball is a real trickster, slipping away on its own!"
Qingqing said as she frowned slightly, looking both endearing and determined not to be defeated.
"Oh no, it was just a tiny bit short!"
Watching alongside, Weiwei felt rather sorry for her sister Qingqing. She was so anxious that she stomped her feet, yet there was nothing she could do to help.
Huang Jun quickly adjusted the way he held her, with one hand gently supporting her bottom and the other around her waist, making her sit more stably.
He himself adopted a sturdy horse stance, leaning forward, providing the strongest support for Qingqing from a lower angle. He encouraged her with a supportive tone, "Qingqing, it’s alright. Let’s try again; this time we will succeed!"
In the park, all the game projects have no limits on the number of attempts.
In other words, as long as the ping pong ball can continuously and steadily fall into the cup, they would earn a victory stamp.
