Chapter 58

Li Ranran is a third-tier actress who debuted two years later than He Nianzhu. She has a pretty, girl-next-door face, but she is not outstanding enough in the star-studded entertainment industry and lacks competitiveness. She has never played a leading role and mostly plays insignificant minor roles such as the third or fourth female lead.

However, she was lucky; several of the works she starred in became minor hits, so many viewers recognized her face.

This is Li Ranran's first time participating in a reality show. Taking advantage of her obscurity, she lets loose and takes her younger sister, Xiaoyue, all over the streets looking for a dog. She never expected that Li Erniu would run to He Nianzhu's place.

Upon seeing He Nianzhu and Xu Yirou, Li Ranran fell silent.

Li Erniu struggled frantically, dragging He Nianzhu so much that he stumbled and almost died on the spot.

In a panic, Li Ranran put her hands on her hips and shouted from the bottom of her lungs, "Li Erniu, don't move! You stay put right where you are!"

Li Ranran is 1.6 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms. She is petite but surprisingly has a strong voice.

Sparrows fluttered their wings and scattered in all directions, and everyone on the street stopped and looked around frequently.

The comments section was full of interesting moments: "Small body, big energy! It's a shame she doesn't use that lung capacity for singing."

[I can practically feel the husky trembling through the screen, hahaha.]

[Holy crap, I know this feeling all too well! Every time my rebellious son refuses to come home and runs off on his leash, I feel this utterly devastated!]

Startled by Li Ranran's outburst, Li Erniu struggled even more frantically, howling with her mouth wide open.

Li Ranran strode forward aggressively, grabbed the dog's muzzle, and angrily said, "You still think you're right! I just went downstairs to throw out the trash, and you opened the door and ran away. If you like being a stray so much, why don't you just fly to the sky!"

Li Erniu: "Waaah—"

With its owner nearby, its arrogant demeanor vanished instantly, and it became like a completely different dog.

All that talk about being unruly and loving freedom should be stuffed back into that dog's brain.

Xu Yirou tilted her head up and asked, "Sister, are you the dog's owner?"

Li Ranran, who was furious, was just coming to her senses when the cub's innocent and cautious question startled her. She suddenly realized that there were two other adults around.

She quickly withdrew her hand, changing to a kind expression: "Yes, that's right, I am its owner, and its name is Li Erniu."

Li Erniu stuck out her big tongue and licked the back of her master's hand.

Seeing its obsequious behavior, Xu Yirou believed it and pouted, "Erniu, don't sneak out anymore. Be a good girl and listen to your sister. There are big bad guys outside who steal dogs and will take you to a dog meat restaurant."

Upon hearing the words "dog meat restaurant," Li Erniu was horrified and licked her tongue even more vigorously.

Li Ranran rolled her eyes speechlessly and chuckled, "Even kids know about dog meat restaurants. If you run around like this again, I won't bother looking for you. I'll just turn you into a dish."

Li Erniu: "Waaaaah!"

He Nianzhu curled her lips, glanced at it, and found this cowardly, foolish dog rather amusing.

After dealing with the annoying dog, Li Ranran finally remembered to introduce herself: "Hello, I am Li Ranran, and this is my younger sister Li Yueyue. You can call her Little Moon."

Everyone knows He Nianzhu, but she was just an unknown fourth-tier actress, and she didn't expect the other party to recognize her.

"Hello, He Nianzhu." He Nianzhu's words were concise.

Xu Yirou looked closely and was pleasantly surprised to recognize that Little Moon was a little vine spirit; they had met once before in Tongyu.

"Hello, Sister Ranran, I'm Rou Rou, and this is my second child." The little dumpling said enthusiastically and happily, "I've seen Little Moon before. Little Moon is a little vine spirit, so pretty."

Li Ranran looked at her younger sister in surprise.

Little Moon pursed her lips. She actually recognized Xu Yirou before she did. She remembered that her aunt had treated her very badly at the time, so she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to talk to her.

She lowered her head shyly and replied softly, "Hello, Rou Rou."

Li Ranran, holding the dog leash, smiled and said, "My sister is rather introverted and easily gets shy. She doesn't usually have much time to play with other children, so she doesn't talk much. Don't mind, Rou Rou. You can play together sometime."

She was just saying it politely, but Xu Yirou took it seriously; the world of children is so innocent.

Xu Yirou asked cautiously, "Sister, does Little Moon not have any friends?"

Little Moon's face flushed, her round, brown eyes gradually dimmed, and she nervously bit her lower lip.

"Ah, well," Li Ranran chuckled dryly, recalling that she hadn't seen her younger sister play with any other children. "Yes, but not often."

Xu Yirou poked her little fingers together shyly: "Can I be friends with her? I want to play with her."

Li Ranran blinked, eager for this! She turned her head and asked bluntly:

"Yueyue, Rou Rou wants to be your friend, would you like that?"

Little Moon's dim eyes regained their sparkle, and her cheeks flushed.

She was willing, of course, but wouldn't her aunt be unhappy?

My aunt always says that the kids who approach her, under the guise of making friends, are actually just trying to curry favor with her and steal her acting roles.

Playing with other children is a waste of time and a distraction from one's studies, so her aunt forbids her from making friends.

The little moon is in a state of internal struggle.

Xu Yirou took two steps forward, her big eyes sparkling like a starry sky: "Yueyue, why don't you and your sister come to my house to play? My house has lots of delicious food and fun things to do, I'm sure you'll have a great time!"

Little Moon was completely overwhelmed; she had a little secret that no one else knew—

I have no resistance to good-looking older brothers and sisters, and younger brothers and sisters.

I can't help but blush and my heart races whenever I get close to them or talk to them, and I find it hard to refuse their requests.

In the past, she would always avoid them and deliberately keep her distance.

The cub before her was excessively beautiful, especially its pair of bright black eyes that seemed to speak volumes; even without it uttering a sound, they were enough to captivate her.

"good……"

The little moon looked shy.

Wait, he was just kidnapped like that? Huh?

[My goodness, little moon's face is so red, she looks like a little bride, so adorable!]

Li Ranran and Xiao Yueliang were thus lured home by Xu Yirou.

[Huh? Is this really not scripted? What a coincidence that the dog ran into He Nianzhu and Rou Rou, who were also recording the show.]

Whether there's a script or not, as long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.

The baby girl Xu Yirou chattered away the whole time, holding hands with her new friend, Little Moon.

One minute he'd ask Li Erniu about the origin of her name, the next he'd ask them what they liked to eat, and then he'd excitedly show off his two beautiful little alpacas.

Li Ranran knew Meimei Yangyang; she would sometimes dawdle in the bathroom and check Weibo's trending topics.

Meimei Yangyang went viral for her adorable and silly appearance, sparking a pet alpaca craze. An alpaca costs tens of thousands of yuan, making them not only expensive but also troublesome to raise.

However, alpacas are primarily targeted at wealthy people, while ordinary working-class people mainly watch them for entertainment.

*

Viewers have watched the live stream of the Xu family's mansion and were deeply moved, but little do they know that being there in person and seeing it with their own eyes are two different things.

Li Ranran and Xiao Yueliang came from well-off families. However, as they stepped onto the tree-lined road, a cluster of villas resembling medieval castles came into view. They were majestic, magnificent, and resplendent, as if they had entered another country.

The gate that was blocking their way automatically recognized Xu Yirou and her son and slowly opened.

Xu Yirou skipped and hopped as she led them inside: "This is our home~"

Li Ranran was dumbfounded. Holy crap, this is their house?

They just crossed the street and walked a few steps, but it felt like they had traveled through time...

Dog Li Erniu: Woof woof woof woof!

Stumbling in a daze, Li Ranran didn't have time to tie Li Erniu up before the girl rushed inside like a madwoman.

Wow, what a huge lawn, what a big garden!

Li Erniu has upgraded her equipment and latched onto a wealthy pet owner!

Li Erniu, mistakenly believing she had been entrusted to a rich man, turned around and stuck her tongue out at her former pet owner amidst Li Ranran's devastating screams, slyly showing her disdain.

Li Ranran: ...My fist hardened.

The comments section was bursting with laughter: 【Hahahaha, look at that ridiculous face!】

[As expected of a meme king, this husky is so cheeky, I want to punch it even through the screen, hahaha]

When He Nianzhu was a child, she was mischievous and teased a dog. The dog chased her for two blocks and she couldn't escape its jaws. This left her with a psychological trauma related to dogs.

That's also why we didn't have any pets at home before we got Meimei and Yangyang.

Li Erniu not going inside suited him perfectly. He walked lightly, creating a breeze: "It's alright, let it play. The lawn is maintained by professionals."

Li Ranran, who was painfully calculating how much compensation she should give the other party: !!

Listen to this heavenly sound.

My wallet is safe.

Her face was flushed, and she cleared her throat: "I'm so sorry."

The only time Li Ranran and He Nianzhu crossed paths was at the Bai Haitang Awards ceremony, where she sat in a corner, watching the seniors on stage receiving awards with envy.

As the lead actor, He Nianzhu was impeccably dressed in a suit, his eyebrows and eyes sparkling with arrogance, so dazzling that he seemed like a god descending to earth, all the light falling on him, making her dare not look directly at him.

As the group entered the house, the hospitable mother of the baby unhesitatingly assigned her son to the bar to make milk tea once again.

He Nianzhu: He is a milk tea shaking machine without any feelings.

[Is it time for the succulent babies to see the million-dollar starry sky dome?!]

I'm betting a bag of spicy strips that I'll definitely see the Starry Sky Peak today!

[Are you guys trying to see the starry sky? You clearly just want to hear your brother sing two more songs so you can record it and mock him, lol.]

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Xu Yirou didn't even think about the Starry Sky Top.

As soon as Li Ranran and her sister entered the room, the sound of tiny hooves pattering on the floor filled the air. In the blink of an eye, two little alpacas appeared, chewing away in their mouths.

Little Moon: (⊙o⊙)…

Meimei and Yangyang are Xu Yirou's precious daughters.

Every day, the little girl dresses them up like female celebrities, with a pale yellow floral bib and a purple floral bib tied around their necks.

With colorful hair clips tucked behind her ears and wearing an exquisitely made lace-trimmed dress, she walked with unparalleled elegance.

It's so beautiful, Little Moon was mesmerized.

Fans who saw the sisters for the first time in the live stream were frantically asking for the link in the chat.

Little Moon exclaimed, "How beautiful!"

Li Ranran also thought it was good: "Rourou, do you have a link for the little dresses they're wearing? I want to buy two for my kitten."

Her cat is a snow-white lion cat, the same color as the alpaca. Her little master would definitely look stunning in it.

The viewers in the live chat were all smiles, waiting to see what would happen.

Xu Yirou smiled with pride: "The beautiful little dress was made by my little darling, not bought, so there is no link."

[Ugh, we've been asking for links all morning, but we can't find the same item online. Smart fans probably already guessed it wasn't bought.]

[The dress is out of stock? No problem, just add your little one to the link!]

[Xiao Bao is definitely a girl. If I'm wrong, I'll eat my keyboard on live stream!]

Xu Niancheng, who was also watching the live stream, smiled and said that the fabric she ordered yesterday was almost here. She would make three little dresses for her mother this time, one for her and one for Mei Mei Yang Yang.

At the He family's old house, Qiao Wen, who had learned to turn on the bullet comments, calmly watched the passionate comments from netizens.

Her competitive spirit, dormant for many years, slowly resurfaced. She asked indifferently, "Old Zeng, how's the tiger figurine project going?"

Butler Zeng said respectfully, "Madam, the factory manager will personally deliver the goods this afternoon."

Qiao Wen: "Can't we deliver it now?"

Butler Zeng: ...

I gave the order yesterday morning to collect tiger fur in the afternoon, and the fact that it was delivered today is like a rocket!

"I'll urge them again, please be patient."

Qiao Wen slightly raised her eyelids: "Old Zeng, what kind of toys or gifts does your granddaughter like?"

The housekeeper was bewildered when asked the question, and then replied, "Madam, I don't have a granddaughter, but I do have a six-year-old grandson."

"I remembered it wrong."

Butler Zeng smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't remember. He's never been here before. Are you worried about what gift to give the little girl?"

It wasn't hard to see what Qiao Wen was thinking. She nodded calmly, her expression indifferent: "What good ideas do you have?"

The old lady seemed to pay special attention to and like the little girl named Rou Rou.

After a few seconds of contemplation, the housekeeper said, "Little girls love to look pretty, so we can give them jewelry and dresses."

Qiao Wen shook her head. These have already been sent; sending them again would be too unoriginal.

She wanted to give someone a gift that no one else had ever given before.

The master and servant could only think of the things that had already been given, and they were at a stalemate.

Suddenly, the butler had a flash of inspiration: "Madam, perhaps you could give her an island and build an amusement park there that all the children would love."

Qiao Wen's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed; that was good.

The He family's businesses span the globe, including twenty small islands, half of which are undeveloped and wasted. It would be better to tidy them up and give them to the succulents to play with.

"Sit down, sit down~" The little dumpling showed great hospitality.

The moment Li Ranran and her sister sat down on the sofa, the huge screen hanging on the wall suddenly lit up.

Amidst the bewildered expressions of the two sisters, a romantic fantasy blockbuster began to play.

After returning from Tongyu, she and Paopao often hid under the covers at night to watch TV series on their tablets. She crammed a lot of TV series that Paopao strongly recommended, including this blockbuster starring Xiaoyueliang.

Little Moon didn't have many scenes, but Xu Yirou had a good memory. She deliberately jumped to the place where Little Moon had scenes, grabbed her hand, and looked at her with admiration: "Little Moon, you can actually fly up to the tree, so high up! Aren't you scared?"

How could she not be scared? She was so frightened that she cried. Her aunt had to comfort her for a long time before she could barely hold on.

Little Moon decides to tell a little lie: "My older brothers and sisters aren't scared, so I'm not scared either."

cub: Wow—

"What does it feel like to fly up in a tree?" Xu Yirou had never been to the filming location and mistakenly believed that Little Moon could really fly. Her innocent eyes sparkled: "Are there any birds chatting with you? What do you talk about?"

When she acted in that movie, Xiao Yueliang was four years old. Two years later, she had completely forgotten what happened back then.

Little Moon's voice was barely audible: "We didn't chat because I don't understand bird language."

Li Ranran: "..."

Xu Yirou: 0.0

[Hahahaha, are you two trying to make me laugh so hard I inherit my Alipay account?]

"Oh right, birds speak bird language, which human babies can't understand." Xu Yirou touched her head sheepishly, just as He Nianzhu came over with a tray.

Xu Yirou clapped enthusiastically like a little salesperson: "Erbao brand 'miracle water' is here, it's so delicious!"

#How many jobs does He Nianzhu actually hold?#

#He Nianzhu Milk Tea Recipe#

Recalling the trending topics from yesterday, Li Ranran almost burst out laughing. To be honest, He Nianzhu's skillful and professional technique really did seem like someone who had worked in a bubble tea shop for several years.

She never expected to have the chance to drink milk tea made by He Nianzhu himself!

[However, Li Ranran, please manage your facial expressions! You're a female celebrity!]

[Li Ranran is practically acting out my personality QAQ]

[Holy crap, all the milk tea is new today! Why don't all the darling guests come over? We can take this opportunity to find out just how long the menu is for the little brother~]
