Chapter 49 Memories of my second birthday
The second episode of "My Little Home" was recorded as scheduled.
But before it started, netizens and guests participating in the show knew very well that this time they would not just be tracking and filming in their respective homes.
Because of Xiao Yongyan’s joining.
Chen Lin commented: "This is simply a bad apple spoiling the whole barrel."
Liang Jinyu was actually calmer than her.
"I am actually somewhat fortunate now..."
Chen Lin knew what she meant by being thankful. She was thankful that the child participating in the program now was Xingxing and not Liang Nanxing. Otherwise, based on the situation of Liang Nanxing at the time, something would definitely go wrong during this recording.
But even so, Chen Lin still felt guilty and annoyed: "They clearly said so much at the beginning, and agreed that the whole process would be recorded individually..."
If this was not the case, how could she have convinced Liang Jinyu to participate in this program?
Hearing this, Liang Jinyu shook his head and said calmly: "I can't blame anyone, I can only blame myself for being blind and not being able to judge people. At that point, we had no other way to go, we could only take a gamble."
So who should we blame?
Blame her for not living up to expectations, blame her for not standing high enough, blame her for not decisively stepping on Xiao Yongyan to death at the very beginning.
Otherwise she wouldn't be forced into a situation where she had no way out.
Just like the show crew.
Maybe they were indeed prepared to do live recordings of individual households as promised during the communication, but they still had investors above them and were under greater pressure. When they discovered the direction of traffic, they had to give in, and they had no better choice.
Liang Jinyu pursed her lips, looked up at Chen Lin and said, "It will be a while before the crew starts filming. Please help me sign up for an acting class. During this time, I won't take any other variety show work. We can take a look at any good scripts."
"Okay, I got it." Chen Lin agreed decisively.
Although she also arranged work for Liang Jinyu, she did not have too many requirements if the artist made the arrangements herself and they were reasonable.
What's more, seeing that Liang Jinyu was working hard to improve herself, she was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.
-
"Teacher Liang, today's process is the same as before. Tomorrow morning we will shoot you guys rushing to the gathering place, and then we will shoot a short parent-child family outing. Is there anything you need to pay attention to?"
The PD communicated with Liang Jinyu before the show started.
Liang Jinyu nodded: "Okay, I understand, it's nothing, since it's arranged by the program team, we just need to do our best to cooperate."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Liang. The show will start on time in ten minutes. I'll be out first."
After the staff left, Liang Jinyu turned around and found Xingxing, who had just woken up, standing not far behind her wearing soft fluffy socks, with a sleepy look written all over her fair little face.
"Are you cold?" She walked over and held the sleepy child in her arms.
Xingxing shook her head, tilted her head and leaned it on her shoulder, her eyes almost closed.
"Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Liang Jinyu rubbed his head.
"No need to sleep, drink milk~" Xingxing continued to shake his head, yawning and staring at the air in a daze.
Liang Jinyu laughed. She finally understood why the little guy got up so early. It turned out that he was woken up by hunger.
When the audience poured into the major live broadcast rooms at 8 o'clock in the morning, the audience in Liang Jinyu's live broadcast room enjoyed the high-definition live broadcast footage of Xingxing drinking milk and feeling sleepy at a close distance.
The child held the bottle in his hand, his small body leaning on the sofa. He sucked milk and slept with his eyes closed, looking particularly relaxed and enjoying himself.
The conversation soon started in the barrage.
[Xiao Yongyan also participated in this program. I just went over to take a look and saw that he was meeting that familiar kid.]
[Emmmm…I used to firmly support Xiao Yongyan, but since he decided to participate in this program, it’s hard for me to judge what’s going on.]
[Everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking. Everyone has their own opinions. Maybe in the eyes of his fans, he is still a brother who sacrifices for love and suffers for love, and wants to get back together?]
[I am dying of laughter. I went to take a look. Someone come and kill the prophet upstairs!]
Xingxing drank milk intermittently and slept in a daze. When his mother picked him up and tucked him into bed, there was still half of the milk in the bottle. After being tucked into the quilt, he automatically curled up his body and fell into a sound sleep, but his little hands were still tightly holding the bottle.
When he woke up from his nap, Qiuqiu flew over and kissed his little face, asking him if he wanted to see the live broadcast rooms of other participants in the show, especially Xiao Yongyan's.
When Xingxing heard the name Xiao Yongyan, she was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that he seemed to be the father of this body.
Thinking of this, Xingxing nodded slowly, sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms, and watched the live broadcast with Qiuqiu.
The first person I read was the original male protagonist of this book, Lin Mofeng.
On the screen, the little girl was playing with a set of kitchen toys, and Lin Mofeng was sitting not far away. On the plate in front of him was the fried eggs that Xiaoyue made with toys. The barrage of comments was full of praise for their unique style and for killing two birds with one stone, as he both coaxed the child and let the child feed him.
Xingxing's eyes lit up when he looked at the kitchenware. Qiuqiu noticed it and asked him, "Xingxing, do you want to play with it too?"
Xingxing shook her head, then nodded and said softly, "I don't want to play, but Zhou Xiaoya will like it~"
"Then when you grow up, buy a lot of toys for you, and then we can secretly send you to the apocalypse?"
Xingxing: “Is it okay?”
Qiuqiu: “…I don’t know, but just buy it first and try it when I have the chance in the future!”
"Yeah!" Xingxing carefully memorized the appearance of the toy and planned to buy it for himself when he grew up.
After that, I watched several other live broadcast rooms. In the morning, they were basically scenes of people eating breakfast or jogging, until I switched to Xiao Yongyan’s live broadcast room.
Dense barrages of comments flashed across the screen quickly. On the screen, a gentle-looking man was smiling and holding the child in front of him, asking him in a gentle voice if he wanted to go to the amusement park.
"I want to!" The child held up a small Ultraman and said loudly, "I want to play bumper cars! I also want to ride a water boat, and..."
Xiao Yongyan met his requirements one by one.
He immediately booked tickets for a nearby amusement park, then smiled helplessly at the camera and said, "When I saw Zhou Zhou, I thought of Xingxing. It's a pity that Xingxing is sick... Even if I wanted to take him out to play, I couldn't do it. I always feel that I really didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father. But it seems a little late to make up for it now..."
The star's eyes grew colder by the second.
It was not because of what Xiao Yongyan said, but because of the fragments of memory belonging to little boy Liang Nanxing that suddenly came to his mind.
This is the memory that Liang Nanxing has kept most tightly sealed. If he hadn't seen Xiao Yongyan, Xingxing might never have remembered it in his life.
That is the memory of little Liang Nanxing’s second birthday.
As I recall, his mom and dad started discussing how to celebrate his birthday that morning. His dad suggested taking him to the amusement park, but his mom refused.
"You know that Xingxing's condition is not good. The doctor told me not to let him get too much stimulation two days ago. There are so many people and children in the amusement park. Xingxing can't adapt to the noise. Let's go to another place."
As soon as the mother said this, the father who was sitting on the sofa frowned and smashed the cup in his hand. The warm water splashed on Liang Nanxing's face and eyes, and glass fragments were all over the floor.
"This is not okay, and that is not okay! I think you've spoiled him! Other people's children can go anywhere, but your child is locked up at home every day. If he doesn't have autism, who will? I worked so hard to support this family, but in the end I raised a fool. Look at him, he doesn't care about anything. He has no heart or brain, you know that? I wish I had never given birth to him. He is not my child, but a ghost who came to collect debts!! "
“Bang!!”
Xiao Yongyan's angry accusation ended with a loud slap.
Liang Jinyu was even angrier than him. After slapping him, she said in a deep voice with red eyes, "Xiao Yongyan, what do you mean? Do you think Xingxing is a burden now? Do you think he embarrassed you? Then why didn't you think so much when you were happy at the beginning?!"
Xiao Yongyan's face was immediately covered with slap marks. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Liang Jinyu with a terrifying look. After a while, he gritted his teeth and sneered, "Isn't he a burden? If I had known that he would be such a thing, I should have aborted him! He is a jinx, a disaster! From birth to now, has he ever responded to us? You might as well raise him as a dog! Even a dog will wag its tail if you shout at it, but what about him? Has he ever even given you a look?!"
"I'm going to sleep at the company today. If you want to celebrate his birthday, then go ahead. After all, he's the one who came out of your belly, so you'll be tied to him forever. I'll see when you can't stand it anymore. Then you'll understand that he's just a debt collector!"
He stood up, picked up his clothes casually and prepared to leave.
Liang Jinyu stood in the mess, looked at her son who was sitting on the ground and didn't care, closed her eyes, and just as Xiao Yongyan was about to slam the door and leave, she said in a hoarse voice: "Then let's get a divorce."
Xiao Yongyan paused as he tried to open the door. He turned around and sneered, "Okay, divorce! I've had enough of you guys. What else can you do except hold me back?"
So on Liang Nanxing's second birthday, his parents had a conflict over how to celebrate his birthday and decided to divorce. Since then, he has never seen Xiao Yongyan again.
After that day, Liang Nanxing's condition became increasingly serious, to the point where he would scream insanity when he heard a noise or was approached by someone.
Therefore, every inch of the floor in the house is covered with thick carpets. Even if a water cup accidentally falls to the ground again, it will not break into a pool of sharp glass shards with a sharp crisp sound.
"Son, the first sign of Xiao Yongyan's official divorce announcement was that he took a picture of your mother slapping him and posted it to the fan group. Then, as time went on, after they divorced, his fans' attacks and hatred towards your mother became more and more serious..."
Qiuqiu whispered what he had found out, and finally said slowly in the silence of the children: "He is a two-faced person. He had cheated on your mother before divorcing her, but because the other party was not a big name, they broke up later. Now your mother may become popular again, and you have become almost like a normal child. He may want to use your performance in front of the camera and public opinion to use you as an excuse to urge him and your mother to get back together."
This is what Qiuqiu calculated based on the data. It is the biggest and most likely possibility of success behind Xiao Yongyan's seemingly reckless behavior this time.
