Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 1596

1596 Satisfy The Other Party Unconditionally
Yaoyao looked at him in surprise. “You’re not looking through the Palace Memorials anymore?”

“I can crack the seeds while I read them,” Beitang You replied nonchalantly.

Yaoyao stared at his exquisite neckline and felt a thump in her heart. “What should the losing party do?”

“You should be asking what the winning party wants.” A longing smile appeared on Beitang You’s lips.

“What should the winning party ask for?” Yaoyao could only ask.

!!
“The winning party can ask the losing party for anything while the losing party has to satisfy the other party unconditionally,” Beitang You said slowly.

Yaoyao frowned. She kept having the feeling that he was smiling like a wily old fox.

She gave a light cough. She was not stupid. She refused to fall into this trap.

“What if the winning party asks for something too much? Should the losing party satisfy it unconditionally as well?”

“Yes.” Beitang You nodded. Before she could reject him, he added, “You don’t need to worry about it. If I end up winning, I won’t ask for something too much from you. If I did, you are allowed to reject me.”

Yaoyao was quietly relieved to hear that. “Although, it’s impossible for you to win.” She sounded quite sure.

“That’s difficult to say.” Beitang You gave her a look as his slender fingers picked up a sunflower seed. He said to Chen Jin, who came in from behind, “Prepare more sunflower seeds and an empty plate.”

Chen Jin saw what was happening in front of him and the corner of his lips twitched. Was this a sunflower seed-cracking contest?

He quietly judged his master, thinking about how he was willing to play such a childish game for Princess Yaoyao’s sake, but Chen Jin did not dare delay any longer as he quickly went to get what his master asked for.

Yaoyao asked, “How long should we time this?”

“Let’s make it two hours,” said Beitang You. That way, he could spend more time with along with Yaoyao.

“Are you feeling alright?” Yaoyao asked a little worriedly as he was still sick.

A small smile appeared on Beitang You’s lips as he reached his wrist out toward her. “Check my pulse if you’re worried.”

Yaoyao was focused on checking his pulse and did not notice the choice of his words.

She placed her hand on his pulse and noticed that it was much stronger than this morning. She could not help feeling relieved.

“Even though it’s much better than the morning, you still need to take enough rest. Why not just play this game for an hour? You need to get into bed after an hour.”

Beitang You closed his eyes when he heard the girl’s serious tone and a smile appeared on his lips. He replied gently, “Alright. I’ll listen to you.”

Yaoyao noticed that despite Beitang You reading a huge stack of Palace Memorials next to his hand, he was not slowing down when it came to cracking the sunflower seeds. She did not dare to underestimate him and quickly sped up herself.

She did not believe she would end up slower than him when she was focused on doing just one thing.

However, she did not realize that when she sped up, Beitang You would slow down.

He looked at the girl with a serious expression on her face opposite him. Her mouth would open and close, and silently count the seeds. A smile twinkled in his eyes at the sight.

This girl really wanted to win.

What would she ask for if she wins?

He was looking forward to finding out.

Beitang You decided to slow down to let her win, but did not dare make it too obvious. Whenever she looked at him, he would speed up, and when she lowered her head, he would begin to slow down.

An hour later.

Both of them stopped.
Yaoyao pointed at the plates in front of her and said in delight, “I’ve filled up all three plates and cracked a total of one thousand and five hundred sunflower seeds.”

Beitang You looked at the two plates in front of him, which were not filled up, and smiled bitterly. “I’ve lost. I’ve only managed eight hundred.”

Yaoyao looked at the tidy stack of Palace Memorials he had at the side and consoled him. “This competition wasn’t fair from the beginning. You had to read the Palace Memorials while cracking the sunflower seeds. It’s doing two things at once. You won’t be able to keep up to my speed when I’m focused on doing only one thing. Let’s call it a draw and nobody loses!”
