Xia Chuyi whispered to the three children, "Sister is going to play a game with you. The friend who wins will get to eat a steamed bun."
"This game is called 'We Are Puppets.'"
"When I say 'We are all puppets,' you must close your eyes and pretend to be puppets, and then see who can act most like one. That person will be the best-behaved child, and only they will get to eat."
The three children nodded, indicating that they understood.
Xia Chuyi said, "We are all puppets, we must not speak or move. Get ready, start!"
As she gave the command, the three little friends immediately began to act like well-behaved puppets.
Seeing that the children had closed their eyes, she quickly moved into the space and woke the collapsed Uncle Quan.
"Woof woof!" With no treats in sight, Uncle Quan bared his teeth in dissatisfaction.
Xia Chuyi gently stroked Uncle Quan and said, "I've fed you quite a lot usually. Help me with this task, and I'll make you something even tastier afterward."
