After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 774

Chapter 774: Competing with Zhouzhou’s Appetite? Unthinkable
Inspired by Zhouzhou, Dou Qiang and his team were now more motivated than ever. They couldn’t afford to slack off. With so many of them, if they couldn’t beat a little girl, they might as well find a tofu block and knock themselves out. It would be better than becoming a laughingstock.

Knowing their current state, Commander nodded in satisfaction. These people, so full of themselves and used to being proud, had hit a training bottleneck. He had been trying to find ways to push them. Now, with Zhouzhou’s arrival, the problem was solved.

In just one day, news of their upcoming match a month later had spread throughout. As soon as they entered the dining hall, many people gathered around.

“I heard you’re competing against Captain Xi’s niece? And it’s a bunch of you against one child? Isn’t that a bit too much? What’s Captain Xi thinking?”

Of course, thinking for their safety.

Others asked Cui Kun and his team, “Isn’t that girl your boss? Why aren’t you all on her team?”

“We’re not worthy,” Cui Kun said solemnly.

Skinny Monkey nodded in agreement, his eyes full of admiration when he spoke of Zhouzhou. He even doubted that if Zhouzhou had been around when they were selecting new teams, they might never have made it as her team members. Zhouzhou alone could completely solo the field. They would have been a burden.

However, the others were unaware of Zhouzhou’s true strength. Even those who did know couldn’t fathom it being that terrifying; they thought the praises were exaggerated, likely intended to flatter Xi Mo. They never expected them to be such formidable individuals.

Tsk, tsk.

The crowd had various expressions, and Dou Qiang couldn’t be bothered to explain. In any case, they would soon understand just how strong Zhouzhou really was. Her power was beyond description, simply too incredible to put into words.

As Zhouzhou entered, a soft, cute voice rang out, “Uncle, hurry up! I’m so hungry I could eat a whole cow!”

Despite the cute tone, Dou Qiang and his team shivered. They hadn’t felt this way even when facing Xi Mo.

Skinny Monkey and his team, however, looked at the entrance with adoration. Seeing this, others instinctively turned their gaze as well.

Zhouzhou pushed aside the curtain and entered. The moment she saw countless eyes on her, she instantly froze, then darted behind Xi Mo and peeked out nervously like a frightened little rabbit.

This made others think that Dou Qiang’s team had been bragging. After all, Zhouzhou was just an ordinary little girl. How could she be as exaggerated as they claimed?

It was surprising to see how everyone secretly called Captain Xi a devil but now fawned over him.

Dou Qiang and his team could only suffer in silence, their expressions full of helplessness.

Clearly a big bad wolf, pretending to be a little white rabbit!

Seeing their thoughts, Zhouzhou wiggled her chubby fingers, looking innocently at them. She was just an ordinary little girl, very timid.

Trust her? No way.

Dou Qiang rolled his eyes.

Wei Fangyi found it amusing, chuckling lightly, and waved to Zhouzhou. “Little girl, come here.”

“No,” Zhouzhou pouted and shot him a displeased look. If it weren’t for him, Uncle Mo wouldn’t be mad at her. She wouldn’t have had any trouble.

She was quite the grudge-holder!

Seeing this, Wei Fangyi found it even more interesting. He rubbed his chin and then called out to Meatball, Zhouzhou’s little dog. “Meatball, come here.”

Meatball wagged its tail and glanced at Zhouzhou before trotting over to Wei Fangyi. Wei Fangyi’s face softened as he saw his son still loved him.

But as he was thinking this, Meatball ran past him without a second glance and jumped onto the chair in front of Wei Fangyi, barking at Zhouzhou to come over. It had claimed the seat!

Wei Fangyi’s face turned dark. He clenched his fists, barely restraining himself from picking up the ungrateful pup and giving it a good scolding.

The little ingrate!

Zhouzhou giggled and ran over to Meatball, giving it a kiss. “Good job!”

Meatball’s tail wagged even more energetically. The adoring look was something even Wei Fangyi couldn’t bear to watch.

Zhouzhou carefully placed Meatball on the chair, patted its head, and said, “Meatball, you guard the seat. We’ll go get food.”

Meatball barked in response, sitting on its haunches, scanning the area, ready to protect its spot with bared teeth. Anyone who tried to take the seat would get bitten!

Wei Fangyi watched in disbelief, muttering under his breath, “Little traitor.”

He had never seen Meatball behave like this towards him before. He was always the one saving the seat for it.

What could he do? Who could resist the sweet talk of a little rascal?

If Zhouzhou had intended to take Meatball away with her, the dog might have considered switching owners.

Xi Mo walked over, patted Wei Fangyi’s shoulder, and comforted him. “Don’t worry. We’ll take good care of your son.”

Wei Fangyi gave him a sidelong glance and snorted, “No need for special care. Just beat him three times a day.”

That ungrateful little dog!

Xi Mo chuckled lightly, said nothing more, and walked away. Wei Fangyi’s face darkened even further as he glared at Xi Mo’s back, muttering curses.

What was there to laugh about? He never noticed Xi Mo could laugh. It was hard to see Xi Mo so disgruntled. Not laughing would have been an injustice considering how often he had been targeted.

As expected, Zhouzhou specialized in making people feel uneasy.

Xi Mo patted Zhouzhou’s head, his expression relieved.

Zhouzhou looked up at him and continued to stand on her tiptoes, saying to the master chef, “Uncle, please give me a little more food today. I’m so hungry!” After a day full of activities, she felt like she was about to starve.

“Alright, alright.” The chef had never felt that his cooking was this good. He smiled so wide that his eyes nearly disappeared, carefully filling Zhouzhou’s little golden bowl to the brim. “Come back for more once you’ve finished.”

“I definitely will!” Zhouzhou replied earnestly as she accepted the bowl with both hands, her chubby little arms straining under its weight. She dashed over to her seat, grabbed a big chicken leg for the little dog, and then eagerly dug into her meal.

Seeing this, Dou Qiang and the others also filled their bowls. They couldn’t let Zhouzhou outshine them in appetite. After all, they couldn’t let her have a leg up even in eating!

As for Skinny Monkey and the others, they were much more laid-back. Why would they bother competing with their boss over how much they could eat? They weren’t foolish.

Zhouzhou seemed to notice Dou Qiang, who looked like he was about to burst. She jumped down from her chair, went to refill her bowl right in front of him, and effortlessly polished off every grain of rice.

Finally, she looked at Dou Qiang as she took the last spoonful. His chopsticks clattered to the table.

He lost again, and this time it was a complete defeat!
