Chapter 35 The Star's Wish is to Live
Liang Jinyu slept all morning, and when it was time for a nap, she felt particularly energetic.
So she sat in the living room, playing with toys and watching cartoons with Xingxing.
All the curtains in the room were drawn, and the lights were on at all times during the day. This environment was safe enough for both mother and son.
Liang Jinyu dug out a jigsaw puzzle from a pile of toys, which had not even been unpacked, and shook it at the child who had been quietly paying attention to her, and asked him, "Baby, do you want to play with the jigsaw puzzle?"
On the cover of the puzzle packaging was a cozy little mushroom home. Xingxing's eyes stopped on it and he nodded vigorously after a moment.
Liang Jinyu opened the package, sat cross-legged next to Xingxing, took out the drawings first and arranged them, then poured out everything inside.
"Does the baby like this mushroom house?"
Xingxing held a small piece of the puzzle in his hand. After taking a look at the drawing, he placed the piece precisely in the corresponding place.
After putting it away, the child responded softly, "Yeah."
Mushroom hut, Xingxing likes it.
It was something I had never seen before in the apocalypse.
Xingxing has lived in many places, including tree holes, spider webs, human houses, and animal nests, but he has never lived in a mushroom house.
It was a little curious about what it was like inside.
"Is the cabin full of mushrooms?" Xingxing asked as he picked up a small piece of the puzzle and put it back in its corresponding position accurately.
Liang Jinyu was still searching through a pile of small pieces. Upon hearing this, she shook her head and answered thoughtfully, "Mom doesn't know for sure either, but there are mushroom houses in many fairy tales. Maybe there are elves living in them who can make wishes come true."
"Stars can also make wishes come true." Xingxing stopped and looked at her mother with bright eyes.
He held up the small puzzle in his hand and asked softly, "Mom, do you have a wish?"
I heard from Qiuqiu that in the previous world of the star, the wish of a star had been fulfilled very successfully.
Now I am working hard to fulfill my wish for the second star.
During this period, Xingxing felt that she could also listen to her mother's wishes.
The child holds up the puzzle piece as if he is really holding up a little star that glows and can make wishes come true. He looks at the wisher with sparkling eyes, as if as long as the other person has something to ask for, he can really help make it come true.
But Liang Jinyu looked at him with a smile, and after a moment shook her head gently.
"Baby, Mommy doesn't have any wishes that need your help to fulfill."
Liar.
Cheating children.
Xingxing frowned her little face, it was obvious that her mother didn’t think that way in her heart.
But he soon heard an answer that seemed more real and honest than his own thoughts.
"Xingxing, have you heard the story of the seven-colored flower?" Liang Jinyu reached out and took the small puzzle piece from the child's hand, then took him into her arms.
With a warm support on his back, Xingxing shook his head blankly and watched his mother put the puzzle piece into its corresponding position.
The completed pattern has exactly seven small puzzle pieces, no more, no less.
"The seven-color flower is a magical little flower with seven colors."
Liang Jinyu hugged the obedient child in her arms, lowered her head and gently placed her chin on the top of Xingxing's head, and held him in her arms and slowly told him in a nice and standard voice: "It is as beautiful as a rainbow, like a small flower that only appears in a fairy tale world, and it has the magic of a fairy tale, that is, each petal of different colors can make a wish come true."
Hearing this, the audience and Qiuqiu, who was searching for the story online in time, thought that Liang Jinyu would tell Xingxing the entire story of the seven-colored flower from the elementary school textbook.
But what they didn't expect was that after Liang Jinyu finished talking about the power of the seven-color flower, she changed the subject and asked the child who was listening attentively in her arms: "If Xingxing could have a magical seven-color flower, what wish would he want to make?"
Xingxing pursed her lips and thought quietly for several seconds before she pinched her mother's slender white fingers and asked softly, "Can I have any wish?"
"Any wish is fine." Liang Jinyu nodded with a smile.
"...Stars can't tell." The child puffed up his cheeks, shook his head sullenly, and whispered, "Mom, the stars' wishes are very big, and a small flower can't fulfill them."
If there really is a magical seven-color flower, if the magical seven-color flower can really fulfill all wishes, then what Xingxing wants to do most is to give this little flower to Uncle Hu in the doomsday.
Uncle Hu is very smart and he will definitely know how to make a wish so that everyone will become better off.
But Xingxing pinched her human mother's fingers and knew that this was impossible.
Save the entire world, save thousands of mutated creatures...
It's just a small flower.
Just like the stars bound by the balls.
Even though Qiuqiu is a very powerful savior system, Xingxing is just a three-year-old zombie.
A little zombie can’t save the world, and neither can a little flower whose petals have been plucked.
The stars have their own wishes, and the flowers may have their own wishes too.
"Then make a small wish from the stars?" Liang Jinyu rubbed her son's soft and fluffy hair and said softly, "A small wish that can be fulfilled by a small petal."
The stars' ever-expanding thoughts stopped.
He looked at the small new piece of puzzle that his mother handed to him. This time, it only took him a little time to express his little wish.
"Mom, the star's wish... is to be alive."
As he spoke, he leaned over and put the puzzle pieces in his hand into their corresponding positions.
The adults behind him seemed to fall into a strange silence.
The stars didn’t understand her complicated and noisy feelings at this moment. The stars just expressed their true wishes.
The stars actually have many, many wishes.
But the wish that can be fulfilled by the seven-colored flower is that the stars want to live.
This wish is so simple that it does not require any flowers. Xingxing can realize it if he works hard.
"Then mom also has her own wish." Liang Jinyu suddenly laughed softly.
Xingxing turned to look at her, and her eyes met a pair of beautiful and gentle eyes.
Those eyes looked at him with a curved gaze, brewing a love and tenderness that could be understood by the stars.
"Mom's wish is to live with her baby." Liang Jinyu said, her warm palm slowly pressing against the back of the child's neck. When it gently brushed against the child's neck, it was like a gentle breeze that silently dispelled the dark haze that had accumulated on the two of them for a long time.
From the audience's perspective, the conversation between the mother and son seemed a bit absurd and funny.
[I thought the star's wish would be something about food or fun, or something about her mother, anyway, it must be something warm and touching, but... there is really no script? ? ]
[I laughed my ass off. I thought they would have some earth-shattering conversation that was worth editing and broadcasting by marketing accounts, but... their wish was to stay alive? How practical, my dear!]
[No, didn't you notice? Why is the rhythm of the mother and son puzzles different from mine? Don't they need to first locate the next piece and then blind their eyes one by one before finding the next piece? They just casually picked it up and pressed it? ? Even if it's calibration, there should be a buffer time, right? ! ]
[I've been wanting to say this for a long time! Xingxing is not only talented in drawing, but also has a three-dimensional sense when it comes to puzzles. Is there a 3D space in his head?!]
[While chatting and laughing, a small puzzle is almost completed... Then what does it matter if I used to number the puzzle pieces and found out that there is a piece missing?]
[Ahem... maybe the harder you work, the more unlucky you become?]
[……]
The puzzle was completed very quickly, which not only surprised the audience, but also Liang Jinyu.
Just as she was wondering if she had accidentally discovered some talent of Xingxing, someone suddenly knocked on the entrance door.
For a moment, Xingxing and Liang Jinyu's bodies subconsciously stiffened for a moment.
But they both relaxed at the same time. If Liang Jinyu hadn't been holding Xingxing, they probably wouldn't have noticed each other's movements.
Liang Jinyu patted Xingxing's head soothingly and got up to open the door.
It's someone from the program crew.
Holding a microphone and an envelope in his hand, he handed them to her after opening the door and said softly, "Teacher Liang, this is the family group created by our program team. There are parents from other groups in it. Please join it. Every day our director team will give parents and children some small tasks in the group to increase interaction."
"Interactivity?" Liang Jinyu keenly caught the key words and asked in a slightly condensed tone: "Do we need to contact several other groups of families?"
The staff knew that her situation was special, and quickly explained: "No, Teacher Liang, it's just some small parent-child tasks. Basically, we won't have any contact with other families, don't worry."
Hearing this, Liang Jinyu temporarily put down his guard, took the envelope and said politely: "Okay, I understand, is there anything else?"
"Later in the evening, we will have a separate interview with parents and children. I would like to trouble you to communicate with Xingxing. In view of your special family situation, the director has specially allowed you to accompany them behind the camera. Do you think it is okay?"
Liang Jinyu was not surprised. She nodded to her, and after confirming that there were no other arrangements, she closed the door again.
Holding the thin envelope in her hand, Liang Jinyu walked back to the living room.
Xingxing was sitting on the carpet and watching cartoons seriously.
Liang Jinyu walked over and subconsciously carried the child who was watching intently to the sofa, and casually reminded him: "Baby, you should watch TV from a distance in the future. Watching TV too close will hurt your eyes. When you grow up, your eyes may gradually deteriorate, and then you won't be able to see anything."
Xingxing tilted her head to look at her mother, moved her mouth, but secretly swallowed back what she was about to say.
The stars will no longer be afraid of their eyes being damaged.
Xingxing has balls and a human mother, so even if he becomes a blind little boy who can’t see anything again, he won’t be afraid.
Thinking of this, he squeezed the ball of light in his hand, moved his butt closer to his mother's arm, and then continued to watch the cartoon next to his mother.
Liang Jinyu took out her mobile phone, searched for the group number, and applied to join.
It passed quickly, and parents from several other families gradually joined the group, which was originally empty.
Liang Jinyu knew several of them, but she did not take the initiative to speak in the group.
What several parents didn’t know was that after this group was established, a new live broadcast room was added to the official live broadcast room of the program team, which happened to be the chat page of the group chat.
The audience swarmed into the new live broadcast room and soon received the first message in the group chat.
It's a voice message.
My Little Home Group Chat:
Lin Mofeng: [Voice] 6″
The voice bar was clicked and the audience heard the young girl's tender voice.
"Hello, uncles and aunts~ I'm Xiaoyueliang, and I'm five years old this year."
The next second, another voice came out.
Lin Mofeng: [Voice] 12″
"Dad told me to use my phone to chat with uncles and aunts in the future, but Xiaoyue still can't write on the phone. I'm sorry uncles and aunts~"
Lin Xiyue's voice is very nice.
To be precise, when every child speaks in a soft and drawn-out tone, their voice is basically cute, soft and sweet to the ear.
After listening to the two voice messages, Liang Jinyu turned her head to meet Xingxing's gaze.
"Xingxing, do you want to say hello to everyone?" Liang Jinyu showed Xingxing the screen of her mobile phone.
Xingxing shook her head without hesitation.
Liang Jinyu took back his phone, turned off the screen and threw it aside.
Off camera, Chen Lin sighed helplessly as she watched the live broadcast and the new round of arguments that had arisen in the live broadcast room. She was so disappointed. Do you understand basic manners? In front of the camera, you should at least act politely. It won't cost you anything to reply! !
There are many people who have the same emotional intelligence as Chen Lin. At least the parents in this show, except Liang Jinyu, all have this basic thinking.
Regardless of whether they like it or not, almost every parent in the family has spoken in the group. Some coaxed Xiaoyue by saying that they dreamed of having such a well-behaved daughter, some asked their children to send voice messages in the group, and some tagged another parent they knew in the group to start a chat...
Only Liang Jinyu never showed up from beginning to end.
This may not be correct, Lin Mofeng has never appeared.
Liang Jinyu casually threw the cell phone on the sofa. She went to the kitchen to warm up milk for Xingxing. The cell phone on the sofa kept ringing.
The stars glanced at it inadvertently, and glanced again.
Finally, when an episode of the cartoon just ended, he reached out his little hand and picked up the ringing cell phone.
Xingxing would not unlock the phone, but it unlocked automatically when he pointed the phone at his face, and the interface stayed on the group chat interface.
Qiuqiu came over and looked at the messages that kept appearing on the chat interface with Xingxing.
Perhaps to take care of Xiaoyue, most of these messages are voice messages.
All unheard voice strips have a red dot behind them.
Under Qiuqiu's command, Xingxing slowly moved to the top and lightly tapped the first red dot voice with his fingertips.
"Hello, little moon. It doesn't matter if you can't write. Our Nona can't write either..."
The audience in the live broadcast room watched as Xingxing held a mobile phone that was almost as big as his face, and unknowingly lay down on the sofa. While listening to the automatically connected voice on the phone, he slowly closed his heavy eyelids.
The little face is pressed against the phone case, squeezing out the soft flesh, and it looks very kissable.
[Wow, a hypnotic artifact has appeared!]
[Hahahaha, Xingxing baby is so well behaved. He fell asleep while listening. What the hell? Baby, do you still remember your mother who was heating milk in the kitchen?]
[Xingxing: (yawns) I’m so sleepy, what are you guys talking about? I don’t understand…]
[Is it so hypnotic that adults' business chats can be so? I fell asleep looking at the stars, and I actually felt a little sleepy. How magical...]
[From another perspective, isn’t this me sitting by the fire during Chinese New Year listening to the adults bragging and staying up all night?]
[I listened to it well in another live broadcast room, but I listened to it again in Xingxing’s room. Suddenly I felt that the conversation in the group was so official and awkward…]
[It's quite embarrassing. Look at how our child is being scolded. He hasn't even had the milk yet, but his brain is already confused.]
When Liang Jinyu came out of the kitchen, the voice message on the phone had finished playing, or the screen might have automatically gone black to end the conversation.
She was holding a bottle of milk at just the right temperature in her hand, and when she came out she saw the child sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Liang Jinyu: "...Why did you fall asleep suddenly?"
She put down the bottle in confusion, walked over and replaced the mobile phone under Xingxing's face with the small pillow that Xingxing usually used. She also adjusted his sleeping position, found a blanket to cover him, and then picked up the remote control to slowly turn down the volume of the cartoon.
It was not turned off completely, because this was the first time that Xingxing fell asleep in a slightly noisy environment. The doctor had recommended a similar attempt before, so Liang Jinyu tried his best to ensure that there were sounds around but without waking Xingxing up.
As the audience watched her do all this gently, their doubts grew.
[Where is the character of a shrew and a violent woman? The more I watch, the more I feel that Liang Jinyu doesn't seem like that kind of person?]
[+1, although she is usually good at acting in front of the camera, I didn't detect even a hint of impatience or violent tendencies in Liang Jinyu's attitude towards the children today. Has her acting skills reached such a superb level?]
[Don't be fooled by her, okay? Time will tell. Xiao Yongyan has been married to her and has children with her for so long, so he should be able to see more clearly than us in the live studio in just half a day, right?]
[They all make sense. I’m afraid I’ll be slapped in the face, so I’ll take a closer look.]
[But it really doesn’t seem like that, and before that, it was Xiao Yongyan who was speaking unilaterally online, wasn’t it? From the beginning to the end, it was Xiao Yongyan who was accusing the misfortunes of marriage and family…]
[There’s no need to be so reasonable. If our brother really did slander her, why did she remain silent without even making a basic excuse? Is she in the wrong or doesn’t she care? If she really doesn’t care, does that mean she doesn’t care about her fans and career? She’s in the wrong, so she’s keeping silent!]
[+1 to the above, when Liang Jinyu participated in this program, I guessed that she wanted to use this program to whitewash her reputation, but the facts are the facts, and she can't change them by pretending on the show. I'm waiting for her to reveal her flaws! ]
[Same old saying: domestic violence women should get out of the entertainment industry!]
