Chapter 1363: Chapter 1185: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"One monk will carry water to drink, two monks will carry water together to drink, three monks have no water to drink..." Xia Dabao sang with gusto, not daring to skimp on her singing effort.

And it still sounded very pleasant.

But after the song ended, Shagen asked, "Why does one monk have water to drink, two monks also have water to drink, but three monks have no water to drink?"

Shagen was looking at Axiang as he asked.

Axiang thought for a moment, then shook her head, not quite understanding.

"My mother said that when there’s only one monk in the temple, he’ll go fetch water himself, with two monks, since there are only two people, they’ll go carry water together. But with three monks, now there’s one too many, and everyone wants to be the spare one, so with three monks, there’s no water to drink," Xia Dabao patiently explained to Shagen.

Shagen was still puzzled, "When there’s one monk, he has to fetch water, cook, and sweep the floor. With three monks, one could go fetch water, another could sweep, and another cook. If there’s work, everyone can do it together; wouldn’t that mean everyone’s less busy?"

"Er... well... that’s..." Xia Dabao felt that was indeed a problem; she had thought only smart people could understand why three monks had no water to drink, but Shagen, whom everyone called a fool, had a point that was simple and practical.

"I’ll go back and ask my mother, see if we need to discuss this problem again," Xia Dabao brushed off Shagen a few words.

Long Aixi also complimented Shagen, "Your question is both profound and practical."

Happy to be praised, Shagen glanced at Axiang, and Axiang was happy for him too.

But Axiang didn’t say much.

She was feeling awkward now, having moved into Shagen’s home, where Shagen treated her like his wife, but without feeling like a couple, thinking they were just scraping by together.

...

The third round started, and Xia Dabao ran several laps while thinking about how to trap Long Aixi.

As she ran round after round, suddenly a light bulb went off in her head. She intentionally bent over near Axian’s spot, letting Axiang and Shagen across from her breathe a sigh of relief.

Then she tossed her handkerchief behind Long Aixi, this time throwing it a tiny bit further away from him.

That way, he wouldn’t be able to figure her out.

Xia Dabao thought she was about to succeed and was about to run back to her spot to sit down, but before her butt hit the ground, she was caught by Long Aixi again.

Xia Dabao was speechless, her expression gone as she asked faintly, "May I ask, my hero Xiao’ai, how did you know I threw the handkerchief to you this time?"

Long Aixi smiled lightly, "You are someone who doesn’t like to lose. You were caught by me twice before, the third time, you were definitely not going to let me go, so I guessed you would throw it to me."

"..." Alright, Xia Dabao accepted the bet and lost, so she went up to sing "Mama Is the Best in the World."

And Long Aixi, he actually started clapping along, seemingly quite happy to listen to her sing.

After Xia Dabao finished singing, she no longer wanted to play, and just then the sweet potatoes in the kiln were giving off a delicious fragrance, so Xia Dabao quickly led everyone over to the sweet potatoes, "Let’s eat sweet potatoes, the game is over!"

Everyone then went to dig up sweet potatoes.
