Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers - Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Fighting for Meat

After arguing with System Divine Nine in her mind, Lauren finally returned to reality and had a conversation with Franklin.

“Franklin, do you think there are ghosts in kindergarten?”

Franklin could not answer this question, so he shook his head.

“There shouldn’t be any, right?”

“If there are no ghosts, I won’t go. If I only go to kindergarten every day, then wouldn’t I lose the meaning of my existence?”

At this moment, Franklin thought of a way to spur her on.

He whispered to Lauren, “There might be ghosts in kindergarten, but we don’t know that. Only with your ability will we be able to catch these ghosts.”

Lauren thought about it for a moment. Franklin was right.

In order to give Lauren a more comprehensive understanding of kindergarten life, Franklin found some videos for Lauren to watch. In the videos, Lauren saw many children around her age eating and playing together in the classroom every day. They attended music class, craft class and many other activities, it looked quite fun.

Lauren was watching the movie with great interest when she heard Mr. Hayes call them for hotpot dinner.

The preparation time needed for hotpot was not long. Basically, one just had to cook up the hotpot base in advance and wash some vegetables.

Lauren hadn’t even reached the dining room when she smelled the strong hotpot base.

They bought two types of hotpot base, and put them into a pot that was separated into halves. One was spicy while the other was clear soup.

Mr. Hayes was preparing the seasonings when he loudly asked everyone, “Who eats spicy food and who doesn’t?”

At this moment, Quinn and Bryce happened to hear Mr. Hayes calling for dinner, so they came down from upstairs.

“I want spicy food.”

“I also want spicy food.”

Bryce and Lauren’s voices rang out at the same time.

The cute female voice and the clear male voice sounded harmonious when they spoke together. However, the two people did not get along well.

Mr. Hayes mixed two portions of spicy soup, while the rest of the people had clear soup.

Franklin often had social engagements, where he was required to drink alcohol. As a result, his stomach was not good and he could not take spicy food.

On the other hand, Quinn was complaining that he would get pimples if he ate spicy food, which would affect his future career development. So, he also refused to take spicy food.

In the end, only Bryce and Lauren sat face to face, on the side of the spicy hotpot.

Of course, this did not bother Lauren. After all, Bryce had always pretended not to see her and continued to eat his food.

However, a problem soon arose. Bryce had indeed ignored Lauren, and he had removed every piece of meat in the pot!

As Lauren was shorter, she was always one step slower every time she wanted to pick up a piece of meat. The meat was placed in the pot, but it was emptied in less than ten seconds.

Lauren pursed her lips. Three or four rounds had passed, but she had not eaten a single piece of meat. Lauren had carefully selected the meat that was neither fat nor lean!

The steam from the hotpot reached her eyes. Lauren’s eyes were red, and she was on the verge of tears.

It was okay to cheat her of her feelings, it was okay to cheat her of her money, but it was not okay to eat her meat!

Fortunately, Franklin noticed it in time. He scooped some meat out of the clear soup pot and put it into the hotpot to rinse it. When he was rinsing it, he kept staring at the meat, not letting Bryce take it away.

After that, he scooped up the meat and placed it in Lauren’s bowl.

Franklin repeated this action three to four times before Lauren’s bowl was finally filled with the meat that she loved to eat.

“Thank you. Franklin, you’re really great!”

Lauren looked at Franklin with admiration, as if she was looking at her idol.

Quinn sat next to Franklin. At this time, he was not willing to be outdone. He rinsed out some beef balls, stretched out his chopsticks and placed them into Lauren’s bowl.

As if asking for credit, Quinn asked, “How about me?”

Lauren looked at the big beef balls in her bowl and gave a thumbs up to Quinn.

“You are also super good.”

Then, Lauren buried her head in her food.

‘Hmph, I’ll let that Bryce take care of himself. I am still the best, there’s a dedicated service for me,’ Lauren thought.

Mr. Hayes asked at the dining table, “Master Bryce, How’s your studies in school? It’s your third year of high school this year.”

Studying was a topic that students could never escape from.

“It’s still the same. There’s nothing new, and my grades are pretty stable.”

“I heard that Sir set a goal for you to get into Master Franklin’s school.”

He was about to put a piece of meat into his mouth. He seemed very dissatisfied with this goal.

“Master Franklin got into the top university in the country back then. How could I possibly get into it?”

The top university in the country!

Lauren looked at Franklin. He was so awesome.
