Xu Zhaozhao was about to nod.

"No need, you just need to be Mom's little umbrella-holding brother."

Gu Yulin gently braced himself against him with his forearm, stopping him from helping. "I'll do it."

The umbrella boy?

Gu Qingyan did not deny it, and he and Xu Zhaozhao took two steps back together.

Gu Qingyan has many labels, but "umbrella boy" is definitely a new one for me [stunned]

[I just started screen recording... Wearing a suit to high jump would be amazing, not so much tight, but revealing. [laughing emoji] This old pervert's ecstasy only lasts three seconds, sob sob]

[Ahem. Ladies, calm down a bit, I want to watch the live stream a little longer. Let's switch to a more serious live stream.]

【Doesn't my fish want these wishing stones? [Pitiful]】

...

Of course, he couldn't possibly give it up; he didn't want his mother to be punished, so he had to find Duo Duo's wish stones.

"Please move aside a bit."

Gu Yulin waved his little hands, which were covered in dirt, and looked very cute.

Xu Zhaozhao, Gu Qingyan, and the cameraman all obediently stepped back a little as he instructed.

call out!

A graceful parabola flew through the air as the small shovel in Gu Yulin's hand was thrown out.

Almost instinctively, the photographer raised his heavy camera and aimed it at the string of wishing stones at the top.

The thin blade of the small shovel precisely struck the branches with the wishing stones hanging on them, splitting them in two.

The string of wishing stones and the small shovel fell from the tree to the ground.

Gu Yulin leaned closer to the camera and said, "For those of you watching the live stream, remember to review the projectile motion model!"

"Oh, right."

Gu Yulin picked up the small shovel and hugged the small stones to his chest. "There's also free fall."

But his face was so innocent that it made it impossible for anyone to blame him.

I'm so upset. I was watching a children's variety show, and the kids reminded me to study.

[Episode 3 of the children's variety show "Flip-Flops" - a review of projectile motion and free fall. [hehe]]

[A seasoned humanities student for over a decade, I passionately opened my brother's physics book!!]

[Ahem. I'm so sorry, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of high school physics is... the motion of opening bottles [blushing emoji]]

[Someone put their pants on!! They're covering my face!! [Shakes pants off]]

...

"Mom, here you go."

After saying that, Gu Yulin held the string of wishing stones and presented them to Xu Zhaozhao like a treasure.

Xu Zhaozhao took the wishing stone from his hand and put it into the bag.

It fell to the ground and got covered in dirt, even Gu Yulin's white t-shirt was stained with mud, which was especially noticeable after the stones were cleared away.

Xu Zhaozhao watched as his little hands patted his clothes, but instead of cleaning them, they left even more obvious muddy handprints on his clothes.

It made her chuckle.

Good, Yu Yu didn't inherit his father's obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.

【tt My little fish is so dirty~】

[This proves that our little fish isn't a germaphobe! So resilient!]

I don't believe it, unless Yu Yu comes and lets me kiss her, and doesn't mind having drool all over her face, then I'll believe it [kiss][kiss]

[Official greeting. This is a proper live stream, a proper live stream...]

...

He patted it twice but it wasn't clean enough, so he just stopped bothering with it.

Without any hesitation, he took Xu Zhaozhao's hand and pulled her forward.

"Mom, quick, let's go find the next wishing stone!"

Gu Yulin's happiness was felt even by the viewers watching on screen.

He prefers outdoor activities with his family to banquets and flattery.

However, the main villain in the original book grew up in such a family, where his father didn't care for him and his mother didn't love him, so he was destined to lack companionship.

Xu Zhaozhao looked at Gu Yulin, who was smiling.

Did she successfully reform the main villain?

As people living in this world, we are destined to never have an answer to this question.

But it's okay.

She still has a very long time to deliver a "successful" answer to this question.

The "umbrella boy" quickened his pace, and the shade above Xu Zhaozhao never left her head.

Upon discovering red under a large tree, Gu Yulin released Xu Zhaozhao and excitedly began digging with his small shovel.

Sure enough, it was another wishing stone. The difference was that this wishing stone was still attached to a thin rope and buried in the ground.

Gu Yulin then took a small shovel and carefully dug down.

In order not to damage the tree's root system, the production team did not bury these props very deep.

After digging for a short while, Gu Yulin took out the clod of mud, brushed off the mud debris, and looked at the blurry words.

"Mom, this is a surprise box!"

After Gu Yulin dug it up, he excitedly brought it to Xu Zhaozhao, saying, "Mom, open it quickly."

He really made me cry my eyes out.

[I found the treasure and immediately took it to my mom [wiping away tears]]

[If God were to bestow a fish upon me, I would gladly trade Gu Qingyan's 10 years of single life for it! [Hands clasped together]]

...

The photographer followed closely behind, panting, practically being shoved into the surprise box for photos.

Since Xu Zhaozhao's hands were already dirty, she didn't care about the mud and opened the surprise box directly.

There was a piece of paper stuck inside the box, clean and with the words clearly visible.

"Find someone nearby and hold their hand throughout this adventure. If you succeed, your Wish Stones will double. Otherwise, all Wish Stones you've collected so far will be reset to zero."

Xu Zhaozhao: ...

This surprise box was truly a delightful surprise.

[Sister Zhao chooses Gu Qingyan!!]

The comments were almost in unison, so Xu Zhaozhao first turned her attention to Gu Yulin.

If she asked, Yu Yu would definitely agree, but he had so much fun today that Xu Zhaozhao didn't want to restrict him.

They then turned their attention to the photographer, who was already carrying a heavy camera and had no free hands.

Finally, he looked at Gu Qingyan.

Then the comments section changed its mind.

[Maybe not, this guy's a germaphobe... Sister Zhao should just hold hands with Baby Fish instead!!]

[I need to go to the Imperial Forest Park urgently.]

...

Xu Zhaozhao jokingly stretched out her mud-covered hand and placed it in front of Gu Qingyan.

"Your Majesty, would you dare to hold my hand?"

Gu Qingyan looked up and met her gaze, then lowered his eyes again, looking at her hand.

How could I possibly agree? This guy's a germaphobe...

Just as she was thinking this, Xu Zhaozhao's hand was enveloped by his large palm, which was warm.

It wasn't just holding hands, but... their fingers were intertwined.

He looked at Xu Zhaozhao's stunned expression, and his magnetic voice fell, "I dare, Your Majesty."

Obsessive-compulsive disorder and holding your hand.

I choose the latter.
