Chapter 189 The Mu Family of 189: Watching the live stream (with comments)...

One hundred and eighty-nine:

"How is it?" Mu Shaowu placed a piece of sweet and sour pork on Ye Qingxi's plate. "Is it alright?"

Ye Qingxi enthusiastically exclaimed, "It's super delicious!"

After he finished speaking, he put a piece on Mu Shaowu's plate as well, "Dad, you should eat some too. The pork tenderloin is fried so crispy today!"

"Okay." Mu Shaowu smiled.

The father and son then happily began their meal.

Back at the Mu family's old house, Aunt Zhang finally remembered that she should cook!

Oh dear, I was so engrossed in watching the live stream, worrying about whether their young master could cook well without me, that I forgot I should cook too.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly started washing, chopping, and cooking the vegetables. However, even after she finished cooking and put the dishes on the table, no one came to find her or told her they were hungry.

Aunt Zhang: Are you all so busy that you forgot?

Zhang Sao had no choice but to go and call out to everyone one by one.

She went to Mu Feng's study first and knocked on the door.

"Go in," Mu Feng said.

Aunt Zhang pushed open the door and saw Mu Feng leaning back in his chair, staring intently at the computer screen in front of him.

Is this... not finished yet?

As she was pondering this, a familiar voice rang out in the room, "Dad, let me help you, I'll help you take the bowl back."

"Okay." That was Mu Shaowu's voice.

Aunt Zhang: ...Wow, so you're watching the live stream too?

Aunt Zhang could only remind them, "Our meal is ready too."

Mu Feng hummed in response, his tone indifferent.

Aunt Zhang: ……

"Shall I bring it over to you?"

If you really can't take your eyes off it.

"No need." Mu Feng stood up and walked out.

Aunt Zhang then went to call Mu Shaoyan again.

Mu Shaoyan was cursing and swearing, "Are you kidding me! Xiao Xi has never washed the dishes at home, how can he make her wash the dishes when we go out! How dare he?!"

"Can't he wash himself? Why does Xiaoxi have to do it for him!"

Mu Shaoyan spammed the comments: 【Baby's little hands are so delicate, how can they wash dishes! Baby's little hands are for playing the piano! Mu Shaowu! Quickly, get his hands out of my sight!】

Live stream viewers: ? ? ?

But Xiaoxi wants to help her father.

[Moreover, Mu Shaowu initially refused, but Xiao Xi insisted, which is why Mu Shaowu finally agreed.]

It's a good thing to teach children to do housework from a young age.

Exactly! I wish my son were this thoughtful!

Mu Shaoyan: ??? That's your son! Not mine! Did he work so hard to get into A University and then earn money so that his daughter Xiaoxi would do housework?!

Their daughter, Xiaoxi, doesn't need to know how to do housework!

When Xiaoxi grows up, he'll hire new nannies for him! Eight of them! One for each of the eight major Chinese cuisines!

Mu Shaoyan: [You'd love for your son to go wash! Xiao Xi can't wash!]

The viewers in the live stream were speechless:

[They're living a happy and harmonious life, what business is it of yours, you monster?!]

[Exactly! Don't be so controlling of other people's sons! Xiao Xi has no problem, Mu Shaowu has no problem, so what right do you have to complain!]

Mu Shaoyan: !!! How dare you speak like that?!

He is the child's uncle!

He can be a father figure when necessary!

Upon seeing his ID, 【小曦の半个爸爸】, Mu Shaowu's fans exclaimed, "Good heavens! It's him again!"

[This dream dad is really fanatical!]

Doesn't he have a son of his own?

[Probably not, so it's kind of pathetic that he fantasizes about being half a father to his little Xi every day.]

[Hahaha, wouldn't he be furious to see Xiaoxi and Shaowu so happy together!]

Then let him watch as much as he wants!

Aunt Zhang knocked on the door and went in. Before she could speak, she heard Mu Shaoyan's voice, "Why can't we even give tips on this live stream? It's so useless. The child finally finished washing, shouldn't we give some tips to encourage him?"

Aunt Zhang: ? ? ?

Aunt Zhang asked in confusion, "What's all washed up?"

"Wash the dishes," Mu Shaoyan replied.

After saying that, he turned his head and asked in confusion, "Aunt Zhang, what brings you here?"

Aunt Zhang: ……

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Perhaps you should be feeling hungry now."

Mu Shaoyan shook his head, "I'm not hungry. I'm looking after Xiaoxi. You have no idea, my brother actually made Xiaoxi wash the dishes! Xiaoxi has never washed dishes at home! He actually dared to make Xiaoxi wash them outside! Isn't he afraid that my father will see this, strip him of his father's title, demote him to a commoner, and leave Xiaoxi to me to raise!"

Then he wouldn't just be half a father, but a whole father!

Aunt Zhang: ………

Aunt Zhang thought that the fact that someone like him could get into University A meant that his classmate had a really good family education.

Should Xiaoxi be handed over to him for upbringing?

He should achieve financial freedom and be able to make money before talking about such unrealistic things!

"It's time to eat," Aunt Zhang urged him.

Mu Shaoyan waved his hand: "No rush, I'll go down after I finish watching the live stream."

Aunt Zhang: ……

"Your dad is already at the restaurant."

Mu Shaoyan: !!!

Mu Shaoyan immediately stood up. "I'll go down right now."

Aunt Zhang nodded and went to call Mu Shaoting.

Mu Shaoting was eating potato chips while watching the live stream.

Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi had finished washing the dishes, and since the production team hadn't assigned any new tasks, they sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Mu Shaoting put the tablet on the table, picked up his phone, and started browsing posts.

Although "Look the Daddy" only aired on its first day, it has already dominated major social media platforms today thanks to the gimmick of live streaming, Mu Shaowu's huge online presence, and the bombshell revelation that he has a child right from the start. As a result, the show has become a hit even though it has only just begun filming.

There are many posts about Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi online right now.

As soon as Mu Shaoting refreshed the page, more than a dozen more appeared.

What's with the headline, "Mu Shaowu and his son are absolutely stunning!"?

Mu Shaoting: [Mmm!]

What's with the title, "Is he really not the biological son? How come Ye Qingxi is so handsome if he's not the biological son?"

Mu Shaoting: [Does being good-looking automatically mean he has to be the biological son? Then should all the good-looking people in the world call Mu Shaowu "Dad"?]

Mu Shaoting: [Besides, Ye Qingxi is way prettier than Mu Shaowu!]

What's with the headline, "Who knew Mu Shaowu was such a reliable dad! He can even cook!"?

Mu Shaoting: That's mainly because he has a reliable father!

What?! "After reviewing all the fathers, I declare that in the six-father PK competition, Mu Shaowu wins without any pressure!"

Mu Shaoting: Are the other dads really that bad?

There's also something like, "Wow! Look at the food Mu Shaowu made and the other dads made, I really feel sorry for the other kids. These dads never cook at home!"

Mu Shaoting clicked on it out of curiosity and saw a jumble of dishes that she could never have imagined.

"Did they bring the kitchen bombing team here?" Mu Shaoting wondered.

The only two that looked decent were instant noodles and instant noodles.

[This was what Tao Tao got; at that time, Tao Tao didn't know how important these instant noodles were to him!]

[Absolutely! Tao Tao watched Tao Rui bring the dishes over, paused for two seconds, then silently tore open a packet of instant noodles. I almost died laughing.]

Compared to Tao Rui's cooking, instant noodles are simply divine.

I can't imagine what Tao Tao would think if he knew that Ye Qingxi next door was eating sweet and sour pork.

There's no need to even think about it; Tao Tao will immediately abandon his father and join Mu Shaowu.

[Hilarious! I can't wait for the day Tao Tao discovers Ye Qingxi's wonderful life!]

The other one was a plate of fried rice.

This was made by He Yao.

It looks pretty good.

[It looked good, but Leilei barely ate any.]

[He Yao asked Lei Lei why she wasn't eating, and Lei Lei said she was full. It wasn't until later, when the director was filming, that Lei Lei said the rice was too hard and too salty, and she had been drinking water and was full.]

[I knew it! That explained why Leilei kept drinking water!]

He Yao himself didn't eat much, probably because it was too salty, yet he still said today's fried rice was a success and very delicious.

How hypocritical! If it doesn't taste good, just say it doesn't taste good. It's not like he's the only one whose cooking is bad.

These dads! Not a single one of them is reliable!

[Mu Shaowu is really reliable! He cooked four dishes and a soup! They look and smell delicious, I want to eat them all!]

Yes, it includes meat and vegetables, making it very nutritious.

Mu Shaoting couldn't help but laugh.

I must say, his brother's appearances on this variety show were actually quite worthwhile.

In just one day, his brother's reputation has changed from "all looks and no acting skills", "arrogant and conceited", "if it weren't for his good looks, he would have been a flop long ago" to "the only reliable father", "truly devoted to his child", "what more could a father ask for than a son like this?"

That's true, it's all thanks to the competition.

Just as Mu Shaoting was about to reply to the post, he heard a knock on the door, and Aunt Zhang came in.

"It's time to eat."

Mu Shaoting: ...I've already eaten my fill of snacks.

Her tablet was on the table, and Zhang Sao immediately spotted Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu in the live stream.

Aunt Zhang: ...Since the four of us are watching, why don't we watch it together? We can discuss it, instead of her always having to discuss it with strangers in the comments.

Aunt Zhang: "You're watching the live stream too?"

Mu Shaoting nodded. "Also? You're watching too?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "I just had to see how Shaowu is doing taking care of the child all by himself."

"So far it's not bad," Mu Shaoting said. "Pre-made is definitely different from all-natural."

Aunt Zhang was both amused and exasperated. "Go downstairs and eat. Your father and Shao Yan have already gone."

"Oh." Mu Shaoting took the tablet and went downstairs.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, she heard the same sound that was coming from her iPad.

Mu Shaoting looked closely and realized that Mu Shaoyan was also watching the live stream.

"You're watching too?" Mu Shaoting asked in surprise.

"Why can't I watch?" Mu Shaoyan asked her in return.

“Then we can watch it together!” Mu Shaoting said. “I’ll project it in a bit, and we can watch it together.”

"Okay." Mu Shaoyan had no objections.

The two quickly finished their meal. Mu Shaoyan took a bunch of snacks, Mu Shaoting set up the screen, and the siblings sat comfortably on the sofa to watch.

As I was watching, I saw Aunt Zhang bring over a plate of melon seeds and sit down.

Mu Shaoting, Mu Shaoyan: ? ? ?

Aunt Zhang: "Let me take a look too."

Mu Shaoting nodded.

After pondering for two seconds, Mu Shaoyan asked, "Should we call Dad over too?"

"No need," Zhang Sao replied. "I've already asked the gentleman."

"What did he say?"

“He said you were too noisy,” Aunt Zhang replied.

Mu Shaoting: ? ? ?

Mu Shaoyan: ...

Mu Shaoyan turned to his sister and asked, "Do you think I could take Dad on this show so he can learn how to be a father?"

Mu Shaoting: ...

Mu Shaoting sincerely advised him, "First of all, you can't handle it, and secondly, when you bring this up, he will teach you how to be a son."

Mu Shaoyan: ...

Mu Shaoting patted him on the shoulder, "Just watch the live stream. Trying to fight with our dad? You'll have to wait until your next life."

Mu Shaoyan: ...

Mu Shaoyan could only find solace in watching his adorable little nephew in the live stream.

After Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu finished eating and washing the dishes, they were watching TV at home when Tao Tao and his son Tao Rui came over.

Tao Tao had a very good impression of Ye Qingxi, and as soon as he entered, he called out to him, "Handsome brother~~ brother~"

Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu quickly stood up and went outside.

"What's wrong?" Mu Shaowu asked Tao Rui, who was following behind Tao Tao.

“I’d like to see if you have a place to take a bath,” Tao Rui explained. “If you do, I’d like the child to take a bath.”

"Yes." Mu Shaowu nodded. "Do you want to wash now?"

Is it convenient?

"It's quite convenient."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tao Tao, who was chatting with Ye Qingxi, exclaimed in surprise, "Your family actually has a TV! And you're watching TV!"

Ye Qingxi: ...There's no need to be so surprised.

Tao Tao quickly grabbed his hand and said ingratiatingly, "I want to see it too."

He bribed her, saying, "A grandma gave me two packets of instant noodles today. I ate one, and I have one left. Here, take it!"

"No need," Ye Qingxi said. "My dad can cook."

Tao Tao: !!!

Tao Rui: !!!

"Your dad can cook?!" Tao Tao exclaimed in shock. "What did you eat for dinner?"

Ye Qingxi: "Sweet and sour pork, diced eggplant with green peppers, stir-fried green beans, Mapo tofu, and tomato and vegetable soup."

Tao Tao: !!!

Tao Tao was practically drooling.

Tao Rui's saliva was also secreted in his mouth.

"Um... handsome brother, do you need a younger brother?" Tao Tao's chubby face was full of cute and ingratiating words. "Can I watch TV and eat with you? I eat very little, just a tiny bit~"

Live stream viewers: ? ? ?

[With your figure, you say you eat very little?!]

[I don't believe you! You clearly ate a whole pack of instant noodles today and weren't full! You also ate half a bowl of rice!]

[Hahaha, Tao Tao is so obsequious!]

Tao Rui, come and see your son!

However, Tao Rui didn't want to see his son. Looking at Mu Shaowu, Tao Rui just wanted to ask him: "Brother, do you need an older brother? Can I eat with you? I don't need to watch TV, I just want to eat something. I eat very little, much less than my son!"
