Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 350 - 340: Guess the Facial Features

"Daddy, I can’t sleep yet. Can you play a game with me?"

Back home, after washing up and putting on lotion, Xuanxuan changed into her pink Peppa Pig pajamas and plopped herself in bed, her hopeful little eyes fixed on her daddy, Huang Tao, who was hanging up her clothes on the rack.

Perhaps she sat down a bit too energetically, causing a few strands of hair to fall and playfully scatter on either side of her cheeks, looking a bit messy and slightly blocking her view.

Her beautiful big eyes darted left and right, noticing the fallen strands, then she puffed up her rosy little cheeks and playfully blew at the hair on the right, trying to make it float back into place.

But alas...

Her strength was too little, unable to move the scattered strands back, only causing them to sway slightly.

Alright then!

Better use her little hands!

With no other choice, Xuanxuan finally gave up on the method, using her hands to push the fallen strands on her cheeks back behind her shoulders.

The world in front of her was finally much clearer.

Hearing his precious daughter’s suggestion, Huang Tao couldn’t help but pause.

He hadn’t expected his little one, after an afternoon of dance rehearsal and planting at Tiantian Paradise, to still be wide awake and full of energy.

Oh!

Children sure are full of energy, while he just wanted to crawl into bed.

But not wanting to disappoint his precious daughter, he nodded in agreement.

"Sure!"

He walked over to the bed, sat down, and with a smiling gaze at Xuanxuan, said, "So, what game do you want to play?"

"Hmm~"

Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful big eyes thoughtfully and said, "Let’s play the ’Guess the Facial Features’ game! Teacher Ye taught me this one~"

"Oh, really!"

Huang Tao chuckled before asking in an inquiring tone, "But Daddy doesn’t know how to play, can you teach me?"

"Of course~"

Xuanxuan nodded seriously: "It’s just the two of us, sitting face to face. Then, if I point at my nose and ask you, Daddy, where is this? You have to answer quickly, telling me it’s the nose. And then! You have to point at any other facial feature besides the nose."

"Daddy, did you understand?"

Finishing her explanation, she tilted her little head, looking expectantly at Huang Tao.

These childish game rules were immediately clear to Huang Tao, so he nodded, "Daddy understands, we can give it a try."

"Yay, yay~"

Xuanxuan beamed and shifted a bit to make space for Daddy, then sat upright.

Once Huang Tao sat crossed-legged on the bed, facing her, she was about to announce they start, but seemed to remember something.

She switched her tone, saying to Huang Tao across from her: "Daddy, give me both of your hands."

"Huh? Why?"

Though not sure of her real intention, Huang Tao’s body reacted honestly.

He obediently handed over his big hands.

Xuanxuan extended her chubby, white little hands to grasp Daddy’s big hands.

But her little hands were too small, unable to grasp Daddy’s big hands, only managing to hold onto two fingers.

Oh well, this will have to do.

Laboriously, she placed Daddy’s two fingers, left hand below, right hand on top, stacked together.

"Daddy, when I say start, you can only move your right hand~"

Xuanxuan explained the rules again, pointing specifically at Daddy’s right hand to ensure he understood.

Finally, she earnestly continued, "Daddy, if I don’t say start, you can’t put your hand on your face, okay?"

"Okay!"

Huang Tao nodded seriously.

Seeing this, the little one was reassured.

She removed her little hand from resting on Daddy’s right hand.

The little one’s strength was too little, unable to hold Daddy’s hand, which just rested on his cross-legged lap, over a pair of soft, fuzzy pajama pants.

Huang Tao softly asked, "Can we start?"

"Hmm, let’s start!"

Xuanxuan’s beautiful eyes curved in delight, immediately extending her right hand to point at her shiny eyes, asking, "Where is this?"

"Eyes."

Huang Tao reacted instantly, giving the answer while quickly raising his right hand to point at his mouth.

"Wow... Daddy, how are you so fast? You’re amazing!"

Xuanxuan’s eyes lit up like a light bulb.

Clearly, she hadn’t expected Daddy, playing this game for the first time, to perform so well.

Inside, she couldn’t help but admire Daddy immensely.

These words of praise made a sweet ripple in Huang Tao’s heart.

Xuanxuan wriggled her little bottom, inviting Daddy to place his big hands down: "Daddy, put your hand here, let’s do it again!"

Alright!

Once again, Huang Tao obediently followed, playing another round of the ’Guess the Facial Features’ game with Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan was eager to try the game again, wanting to see what her dad looked like when he lost.

However...

The next few times, no matter how Xuanxuan played, Huang Tao could immediately say the answer and avoid pointing to the correct feature.

"Oh no, this isn’t fun at all!"

After a few rounds, with all wins going to her dad, she felt a bit frustrated and couldn’t help but pout her little lips.

When playing with Teacher Ye, she would sometimes say and point incorrectly too.

Moreover, Teacher Ye also made mistakes occasionally.

But Dad never did.

Dad is great, but it’s boring for the little darling!

Huang Tao also vaguely felt that him winning all the time indeed brought the fun of the game to a freezing point!

Seeing his daughter’s unhappy look, he was worried it might make her have trouble sleeping at night.

Alright, continuation like this isn’t an option, got to ease up a bit and let her have some fun!

"How about this, Xuanxuan!"

Huang Tao thought and then comforted Xuanxuan: "If you speak faster and even faster, Daddy won’t have time to react and might misanswer or mispoint!"

This tip suddenly reignited Xuanxuan’s almost extinguished enthusiasm.

She blinked her sparkling eyes and nodded eagerly like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, Daddy, let’s start again!"

Then she pointed to her nose, quickly saying: "What is this?"

"Nose."

Huang Tao responded as fast as ever, pointing his right hand towards his eyes among his features, then paused, furrowing his brow, pretending to have forgotten the game rules in nervousness, and slowly moved his hand down to the nose.

"Oh no..."

His face was full of regret as he rushed to move his hand further down, looking like he was pretending to play tricks, acting very realistically.

Xuanxuan believed it to be true.

She excitedly and happily reached out her little hand, grabbed Huang Tao’s hand, trying to prevent his trick from succeeding: "Wrong, wrong, Daddy you pointed wrong, Daddy don’t move, hehe, I saw it all~"

"Daddy, I clearly saw you pointed at the nose first, but you cheated and pointed down at the mouth."

"Alright, it’s Daddy’s mistake for not being honest, Daddy is wrong, I apologize to you."

Huang Tao raised his left hand to show surrender.

As for the right hand, it was being tightly held by Xuanxuan!

"Haha, Daddy lost, Daddy lost..."

Xuanxuan cheerfully waved her little hand, kicking her little feet on the bed.

But soon, the little girl remembered the real business.

She giggled: "Daddy, you said and pointed the same thing, so you were wrong, and need to be punished~"

"Hmm, what punishment?" Huang Tao asked curiously.

"I want to flick your forehead." Xuanxuan eagerly pointed at Huang Tao’s forehead.

Huang Tao nodded: "Okay, Daddy accepts the punishment."

Xuanxuan curled her finger, cutely pouted her little lips, blew a breath of fairy air on his forehead, and then said: "Daddy, don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt~"

Wow!

The little girl even comforted him!

Huang Tao had to play along pretending to be a bit scared, leaning his body slightly back, furrowing his brows: "Please go ahead gently..."

Xuanxuan curled her little hand and lightly flicked her dad’s forehead.

"Daddy, does it hurt?"

After punishing her dad, Xuanxuan asked with concern, while not forgetting to extend her hand to rub her dad’s forehead to alleviate any pain.

Huang Tao held her little hand and laughed: "It doesn’t hurt now, it doesn’t hurt anymore, with Xuanxuan helping to rub, it doesn’t hurt anymore."

Xuanxuan nodded trustingly.

Because when Teacher Ye flicked her forehead, it only stung a little bit.

"Okay, it’s getting late, let’s go to bed, otherwise we might not get up tomorrow."

Huang Tao lifted her quilt corner, hinting her to crawl inside.

Xuanxuan obediently crawled under the covers, leaving only her lively eyes exposed.

Huang Tao adjusted her quilt, kissed her forehead gently, and said softly: "Darling, sleep now! I’ll make you something delicious tomorrow."

Xuanxuan smiled sweetly: "Daddy, I want something crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside."

"Crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside? Xuanxuan, what is that thing, do you know its name?" Huang Tao asked puzzledly.

Xuanxuan thought for a moment: "I don’t know what it’s called, I just saw it in a picture book in the kindergarten’s library, it’s yellow and crispy on the outside, round in shape, it also has sesame inside. I can’t read all the characters, I only saw a round character."

Huang Tao guessed roughly: "Alright, Daddy got it, I’ll try to make it for you tomorrow morning~"

"Thank you Daddy, you’re so good..."

"Good night, Daddy!"

Xuanxuan hugged Huang Tao’s arm. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Soon, she fell asleep.

The "shut down" speed is really fast!

Looks like she’s really tired from playing!

Huang Tao reached out to turn off the small table lamp, and also went to sleep.
