The aunt's expression was grave, and her gaze was fixed on Gu Qingyan with a hint of hostility.

"Young lady, stay away from these kinds of shady characters. You're still so young!"

?

Xu Zhaozhao was slightly taken aback when she heard her aunt's words.

Auntie... mistook her for a student from Hope Primary School?

She probably didn't know that Gu Qingyan was a celebrity and mistook him for a clueless "socialite".

As she spoke, the aunt pulled Xu Zhaozhao closer to her.

He whispered in her ear, "Don't be fooled by their respectable appearance. They just love to deceive young girls like you. Your most important task right now is to study. Don't associate with them."

The aunt thought she was speaking softly, but her voice was actually quite loud. Gu Qingyan, who was only a step away from them, heard everything she said.

His face darkened slightly.

Xu Zhaozhao noticed the change in his facial expressions; he was trying hard to suppress his laughter, and his shoulders were shaking.

The aunt misunderstood, thinking that Xu Zhaozhao was scared, and her expression became even more serious.

"If he does anything to threaten you, tell Auntie, and Auntie will call the police for you!"

"Pfft."

When the aunt mentioned the word "call the police," Xu Zhaozhao finally couldn't hold back and chuckled softly.

Gu Qingyan's aura grew even colder.

Xu Zhaozhao seized the opportunity and went up to take his hand.

"Auntie, you've misunderstood."

He took their intertwined hands and waved them in front of the aunt, saying, "Auntie, he is my husband."

She smiled sweetly, dazzling Gu Qingyan.

For a moment, I couldn't muster any anger.

She actually... admitted to their relationship in front of others?

The aunt stared at the rings on their ring fingers for a moment, then, without feeling embarrassed, burst out laughing.

"Alright, alright, it's because you look too young, young lady."

Xu Zhaozhao, beaming with joy, led Gu Qingyan out of the Hope Primary School cafeteria.

"The auntie said I look very young!"

Gu Qingyan glanced at her indifferently; Xu Zhaozhao hadn't expected any response from him.

Not long after, he casually remarked, "Idiot, you're already young, no need to compliment you."

All things considered, Xu Zhaozhao is only 22 years old.

As they approached the playground, Xu Zhaozhao stopped abruptly, forcing Gu Qingyan to halt as well.

"If we walk any further, we'll be caught on camera."

After turning the next bend, you'll reach the playground.

They were currently separated from the playground by only one wall, and could faintly hear the sounds of children playing.

Xu Zhaozhao tried to pull her hand away, but Gu Qingyan held it tightly, making it impossible for her to break free.

“Gu Qingyan…”

If she doesn't go back soon, she'll really have to skip half a day of work.

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Zhaozhao was embraced tightly by Gu Qingyan.

"Zhaozhao, give me a kiss."

I don't want to be separated from my wife for even a moment. Who understands that?

Xu Zhaozhao didn't move, so Gu Qingyan continued to ask, "Am I... really that old?"

In the past, Gu Qingyan had no concept of age; it was just a number he was counting down the days.

?

Xu Zhaozhao's eyes widened slightly.

This doesn't seem like a question that would come from Gu Qingyan's mouth at all.

How could a top actor who faces so much gossip every day actually care about a cafeteria lady's unintentional remark?

Gu Qingyan's gaze was heavy, as if he was somewhat unhappy.

If he's unhappy, Xu Zhaozhao can't be happy either; she has to find a way to cheer him up.

Thinking about it, Xu Zhaozhao tilted her head and whispered in Gu Qingyan's ear, "My husband is the youngest person in the whole world~"

Men, especially men like Gu Qingyan, can be easily appeased with a few kind words.

"Yeah?"

Gu Qingyan asked in return, but Xu Zhaozhao couldn't see his expression and nodded haphazardly.

Then, his slightly malicious voice landed on Xu Zhaozhao's head, "One kiss isn't enough. You should kiss me more while I'm still young, otherwise it'll be a waste."

That makes sense, but not much.

In the end, Gu Qingyan still didn't get to kiss her, and Xu Zhaozhao insisted on going back to record the show.

"Go ahead. I'll pick you up and take you home tonight."

Gu Qingyan rubbed her head and finally let go of her hand.

Xu Zhaozhao stuffed the snacks she had just bought into Gu Qingyan's arms and ran towards the playground as if she were escaping.

Gu Qingyan watched her figure disappear around the corner, his gaze lingering there for two minutes.

As soon as Xu Zhaozhao walked onto the playground, she appeared in the camera's view, and sharp-eyed netizens spotted her instantly.

Was that Xu Zhaozhao who just walked in?!

[Mom, Xu Zhaozhao is having a sudden burst of lucidity before she dies! I didn't kill you, don't come looking for me! Buddha, Buddha, please protect her!]

[It's Xu Zhaozhao! No student from Hope Elementary School has a better figure than Sister Zhaozhao (no offense, it's just that elementary school students don't develop that early), Sister Zhaozhao!! [drooling]]

...

When the director discovered that Xu Zhaozhao had returned to the set, he almost burst into tears of joy.

After Xu Zhaozhao left the live stream, the popularity of the live stream plummeted—don't underestimate the ability of a controversial female star to attract viewers.

The production team was worried that the audience might not have noticed Xu Zhaozhao, so they specifically instructed the camera crew to give her a close-up shot.

The director was relieved to see that her complexion had returned to normal and her movements were normal.

"Baby's Comfortable Life" wouldn't be complete without Xu Zhaozhao!

"Let's welcome Miss Zhao Zhao back!"

The director, with tears in his eyes, said, "Miss Zhao Zhao rushed over to the live broadcast as soon as she woke up. Her dedication is something we should all learn from!"

Because the production team was located far from the booth, they needed to make room for the children from the social gathering to queue, so the guests couldn't hear the director's words; they were only speaking to the viewers in the live stream.

Xu Zhaozhao, completely unaware of this, was being filmed in close-up as she walked towards Gu Yulin's stall.

[Huh? Xu Zhaozhao's back? Go tell the keyboard warriors on Weibo to get ready to flame her!]

[Oh my god, Lingling! I was just watching Lingling kiss a kid, and then it cut to a close-up of Xu Zhaozhao?]

Why is Xu Zhaozhao's lip chapped again? I'm so confused.

[Oh my god, the lady upstairs, I really didn't notice unless you told me. Didn't she faint? Did she bite her lip?]

Don't tell me you bit your lip again while eating chicken wing rice...

...

Gu Yulin was playing a game of Go with his students when Xu Zhaozhao approached and he noticed her arrival.

His grip on the pen tightened suddenly, his fingertips turning white, and he tore the paper to shreds.

"Mother……"

He said in a trembling voice.

He was very worried about Xu Zhaozhao, but he couldn't refuse to participate in the variety show.

Xu Zhaozhao fainted. If he were also absent, Xu Zhaozhao would be attacked and scolded by netizens.

Gu Yulin didn't want her to be scolded, so he suppressed his worry and returned to the stall.

Xu Zhaozhao couldn't resist reaching out and pinching Gu Yulin's cheek. "Mom's fine, she just fainted due to low blood sugar."

It would be too embarrassing to tell others that I fainted from the pain!

Gu Yulin glanced at Xu Zhaozhao's hand pinching his cheek, then stiffened and didn't pull away.

He looked up at the wound on Xu Zhaozhao's lip and frowned slightly.

"Mom, why is your lip sore again?"

The word "again" is very meaningful.
