"Odds?"
Little Taotie grinned, "I'll count them."
"Wait!"
Little Taotie looked at him, "What, want to change?"
Hua Jinyan shook his head, "Still guessing odds."
Little Taotie started to count with a smile, "1, 2, 3..."
She discreetly pinched off one flower.
"Wait!"
Little Taotie frowned and looked over, "Now what?"
Hua Jinyan chuckled, "I'll switch to evens."
"You're the most annoying!"
Little Taotie continued counting, quietly...
Suddenly, her hand was caught.
Little Taotie looked up to see his mischievous smile, "Let me count instead."
Little Taotie snorted.
"15, 16..." Hua Jinyan counted to the 98th flower, smiling, "Looks like I won."
Little Taotie grabbed a pillow and threw it over, "So what if you won? If you snore, I'll throw you out!"
Hua Jinyan caught the pillow with a smile, lay back, the lights turned off, and in the darkness, he suddenly spoke, "I picked 99 roses."
Little Taotie: "..."
Turns out, he knew exactly how many roses there were all along!
