Following the direction of the man's finger, Feng Jin saw the Rubik's Cube lying alone on the ground, now completely shattered.
"What are you doing? If you can't play with it yourself, you can't just throw it away like this. If you don't play with it, are you going to let Da Bao and Er Bao play with you!"
Feng Jin bent down and picked up the shattered Rubik's Cube. She was very displeased with Ling Mohan's actions. He couldn't play with it himself, and he had to vent his anger on the Rubik's Cube.
If she had known Ling Mohan would do such a thing, she wouldn't have let him play with it.
Now it's in this state. What will she give to Da Bao and Er Bao tomorrow?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Feng Jin walked up to the man, slammed the unrecognizably broken Rubik's Cube onto the table in front of him, put her hands on her hips, and her eyes filled with anger, "Tell me, how do you want to handle this?"
If Ling Mohan didn't give her an explanation today, she would never let it go so easily.
Her anger subsided considerably, and Ling Mohan's rationality finally returned. He realized his actions were too impulsive, and a hint of guilt flickered across his face.
He coughed lightly, masking his embarrassment, and explained reluctantly, "I accidentally slipped just now and didn't hold it steady, so I threw it out. Otherwise, I'll replace it with a new one for you."
Feng Jin rolled her eyes. Replace it, he said so casually with a mere pouting of his lips. What could he use to replace it?
"Alright, since you say you'll replace it, then you'll replace it with an identical one. Otherwise, this matter won't be settled between us!"
After saying this, Feng Jin angrily walked towards the door. Just as she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something, stopped abruptly, and then turned back to pick up the Rubik's Cube fragments from the table.
Maybe she could find a way to reassemble it and play with it again. Leaving it here would only benefit Ling Mohan for nothing. She wouldn't be foolish enough to do such a losing deal.
Ling Mohan's mouth slightly parted, and he was about to speak to stop Feng Jin, but before he could open his mouth, Feng Jin was already gone.
Now he's really in trouble. If he had known this, he wouldn't have been so impulsive and thrown the Rubik's Cube. Where would he find an identical one to replace it for Feng Jin?
This was truly a predicament. The Rubik's Cube was made by Feng Jin. Even if he made another one, it might not be exactly the same. He should find an opportunity to sincerely apologize to Feng Jin.
...
Back in the room, Feng Jin worked for almost half an hour before finally reassembling the shattered Rubik's Cube. It was quite troublesome, and it was all Ling Mohan's fault.
He could have broken anything else, but he had to break the Rubik's Cube. Fortunately, this time she managed to reassemble it.
If it couldn't be fixed, she would let Ling Mohan explain it to Da Bao and Er Bao tomorrow.
Feng Jin put the repaired Rubik's Cube back into the box. It would be safer to keep it with her and give it to the two children tomorrow.
"Are you done... done?"
Da Bao kept urging, anxious as could be, his gaze constantly shifting towards Er Bao.
How long has it been? Why is it still taking so long? He's going to be worried to death.
"Be quiet, it'll be done soon."
Er Bao's voice deepened as he scolded Da Bao. Da Bao's shouting had completely scattered his thoughts. The idea he had just had was now completely forgotten.
"How long has it been? It's still not done. Can you even do it? If not, let me do it."
He couldn't wait another second. Da Bao was like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around, wishing he could snatch the item from Er Bao's hands and do it himself.
Er Bao couldn't stand Da Bao's incessant chatter and shouted angrily, "Then you do it!"
He immediately stood up, ready to abdicate. He had long been tired of doing thankless tasks.
He might as well let Da Bao do it, and he could also experience the joy of enjoying something ready-made.
"No... no... don't be impulsive, you do it... you do it..."
Da Bao said hurriedly, pulling Er Bao back to the chair. He didn't want to do such troublesome things. It was better to sit and wait for something ready-made.
If he had known, he wouldn't have said those useless words. If he really angered Er Bao and he gave up, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
However, after much coaxing, he managed to get Er Bao back to the chair. This time, Da Bao was much smarter and remained silent, not saying a single unnecessary word.
"Alright, it's finally done."
After working all day, it was finally finished. Although it couldn't compare to what his mother made, he had done his best.
"It's done!" Da Bao, who was about to fall asleep on the table, jumped up from his chair the moment he heard Er Bao say it was done, and quickly ran to Er Bao's side.
Upon seeing the Rubik's Cube Er Bao had made, a faint expression of disdain crossed his face.
Da Bao's expression clearly showed that this Rubik's Cube couldn't compare to the one his mother made. It was worlds apart, and the one Er Bao made was too crude.
"This doesn't look anything like what Mom made..."
"Take it or leave it. If you don't want it, give it back to me."
Although he knew he hadn't done a good job, being told so publicly made him feel very awkward.
He immediately flew into a rage and reached out to take back the Rubik's Cube from Da Bao's hand. If Da Bao really didn't like it, then he could keep it for himself to play with.
"No... I didn't say I don't like it. You're too impatient. You need to stay calm, stay calm!"
Fearing that Er Bao would really snatch it away, he quickly hugged it protectively. It was hard to get a Rubik's Cube, and even if it wasn't perfect, it was better than nothing. He'd just have to make do with it.
At this moment, he couldn't afford to be picky. He didn't want Er Bao to really take it away, which would be a total loss.
"Hmph..." Er Bao let out a displeased snort, crossing his arms. Da Bao was indeed very spineless.
He surrendered so quickly after being scared a little, and he had no resistance to food and play.
In this way, he might be easily tricked by someone offering him some delicious food. With Da Bao going out alone, it made people constantly worry and fret.
