Chapter 35 I coaxed my brother Ranzi into...
Chapter 35
Zhou Maidong's piano playing finally stopped amidst a chorus of yawns from everyone.
He was so engrossed in his own artistic atmosphere that he was completely unaware that the people around him had been completely controlled by him.
He stopped what he was doing, turned around, and froze on the spot.
"What's wrong with everyone?" Zhou Maidong's confusion seemed genuine.
"What's wrong? You've got me under your control, High Priest?"
[It seems like the number of viewers in the live stream has dropped, hahaha]
[Director: It's a tonic! You're using another tonic! (Covering his head and rolling around)]
[They put our Ranzi to sleep right away.]
[Hugs: I'm so tired myself, and I still have to soothe the big dog next to me.]
[lol, I feel like Baobao was willingly sleeping while hugging Ranzi-ge?]
Lu Yunxin yawned seven or eight times in a row, tears streaming down her face, blurring her eye makeup.
Hearing Zhou Maidong ask this question, she didn't know whether she should be touched or angry, and could only look at him with a wry smile.
What do you think?
Zhou Maidong was actually quite confident after playing this piece, and when he got up from the piano bench, he still seemed a little reluctant to leave.
Upon hearing this, he straightened his chest and replied to Lu Yunxin, "I even feel like I could hold a concert like Zhu Ji."
Lu Yunxin: "..."
Bao Keming and Qiao Manyun were sustained for half a day by the still burning anger in their hearts, which is why they remained awake and did not fall asleep after Zhou Maidong finished playing the song.
"Brother Zhou, have you ever practiced some kind of evil magic?" Bao Keming took a big gulp of water and asked Zhou Maidong, "You almost sent us all to our deaths."
Zhou Maidong: "???"
Bao Keming pointed at Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran.
Zhou Maidong looked in the direction he was pointing, and it was hard not to laugh.
Chu Xingli slumped his head listlessly, clearly looking extremely sleepy.
Even so, he didn't forget to support Luo Xiaoran's forehead as he slept on his shoulder.
With his eyes closed, Luo Xiaoran let Chu Xingli lean gently against the top of his head, allowing him to rest as he pleased.
During this agonizing time filled with unbearable noise, the two became comrades-in-arms, sharing both joy and sorrow.
Lin Ning and Zhu Ji rarely saw Chu Xingli show such a tender side.
Seeing this, the two couldn't help but smile at each other and took out their phones to capture this precious moment for Luo Xiaoran.
...Once Luo Xiaoran, that scheming green tea, "wakes up," she'll definitely be incredibly grateful to the two of them, right?
Presumably silently calculating in his mind that the time was almost up, Luo Xiaoran began to "slowly wake up," feigning a dazed look to mislead Chu Xingli.
"Huh? You're awake?" Chu Xingli felt a lightness on her shoulder and tilted her head to look at Luo Xiaoran.
Chu Xingli hadn't expected that Brother Zhou's music would be so powerful, but when she saw Luo Xiaoran open his eyes and still look sleepy, she shifted her attention to Luo Xiaoran.
Adhering to the principle that if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way, Luo Xiaoran nodded wearily and even asked Chu Xingli, "What about you? Are you sleepy too?"
Chu Xingli guessed that Luo Xiaoran was experiencing occasional pain due to a fractured bone in his hand, which caused him to have poor sleep at night and feel dazed during the day.
Feeling even more guilty, she whispered to Luo Xiaoran, "After dinner, you should wash up and go to bed. Get some rest."
Luo Xiaoran readily agreed, thinking only that he would adapt to the situation when the time came.
"Teacher Zhu is about to perform," Luo Xiaoran reminded Chu Xingli.
Chu Xingli quickly straightened her posture, facing the piano, and clapped along with Lin Ning with anticipation.
Although he has many opportunities to hear international masters play the piano up close, Zhu Ji still deserves a certain level of prestige.
"Ningning, I'm going to play 'Miracle Again' for you," Zhu Ji said, his eyes fixed on Lin Ning. "I hope you'll like it."
Who says Zhu Daniu lacks emotional intelligence? His emotional intelligence is phenomenal!
[Apart from him, everyone else is a non-professional. If someone with expertise like him were to take it seriously, it would seem like they couldn't handle the situation.]
[After all, they've always been involved in international circles; they're masters of interpersonal relationships.]
[Zhu Daniu: I didn't think that much about it. I just wanted to play "Miracle Again" for Ningning.]
[lol I advise everyone not to have such high expectations of Zhu Daniu's intelligence; he's just trying to please his wife.]
Lin Ning really likes Ultraman.
Moreover, Zhu Ji would never resort to such a tactless and destructive attack on everyone in this situation.
Therefore, he immediately sang "Miracle Reappears" for everyone, which made Lin Ning cover her mouth and laugh non-stop.
Later, Chu Xingli pulled him up from the chair, and the two of them started to imitate Ultraman's movements, transforming themselves with hand and body movements in a clattering motion.
The atmosphere at the scene was brought to its peak by the fun of the game.
Everyone was smiling happily.
When it was Bao Keming's turn to showcase his talent, Chu Xingli, who was in a good mood, was not as impatient as when the other party was criticizing her, and listened to him play the piano with a smile.
“I’ll play ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ for everyone,” Bao Keming said with a smile. “The first piece my son learned was ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’.”
After he finished speaking, he sat down on the piano bench and, as his son had taught him, played a piece called "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with only his right hand.
When Bao Keming talked about his son, his eyes were filled with tears.
Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran exchanged a glance, and simultaneously understood the emotions in each other's eyes.
Families like Bao Keming's naturally had their children undergo paternity tests.
As for what tricks Qiao Manyun played in the middle, that remains unknown.
...I wonder if Bao Keming will go insane when he learns the truth, because he can't accept it.
But the truth will eventually come out, and for Bao Keming, the later he finds out, the more painful the subsequent emotions will be.
While Chu Xingli was deep in thought, everyone had already showcased their talents, some for a longer period and others for a shorter one, and it was the program staff's turn to score them.
In everyone's eyes, the answer was no longer in doubt.
Although Zhou Maidong's talent show almost sent everyone in the villa to bed, it was still a remarkable skill.
Therefore, he naturally became the undisputed number one.
The kind of acceptance that everyone is completely convinced of.
Zhou Maidong proudly accepted the lavish dinner for him and Lu Yunxin from the staff, his confident demeanor as composed and elegant as when he first won the Best Actor award.
Chu Xingli kindly reminded him, "Brother Zhou, aren't you afraid of dropping a whole pot of pork stew with sauerkraut on your head, holding it so high?"
Lu Yunxin thought so too.
She stood there for a long time, unable to bear dampening Zhou Maidong's enthusiasm.
But I also really wanted to remind him that if such a full bowl of soup were spilled on his head or the ground, he would really behave.
When Chu Xingli pointed this out with concern, Lu Yunxin couldn't help but burst into laughter like a goose.
Seeing that Zhou Maidong was still so wary, Chu Xingli continued to reassure him, "I just felt that a pot of pork stew with sauerkraut shouldn't be carried so high. Don't worry, Brother Zhou, it's too hot, no one will dare to reach out and snatch it."
Zhou Maidong: "..."
[LOL, that hug is just too sweet! Hahaha, "Don't worry, Brother Zhou, it's too hot, no one dares to reach out and grab it."]
[Haha, what sound did Sister Lu make? ? ? ]
Sister Lu was pleased by Brother Zhou's coaxing; Brother Zhou has finally matured, and I'm so relieved.
[Warning: Sister Lu, be careful, Brother Zhou is holding that bowl of sauerkraut and it's making a quacking sound.]
Whoever you are, get off my sister Lu right now!
***
After dinner, it wasn't completely dark yet.
The director put down his chopsticks, walked in front of everyone, and vehemently kicked all five groups of guests out of the villa.
They claimed they needed to communicate.
After all, it's a couples observation program, focusing on observation rather than interfering in the couple's affairs and the development of their relationship at any time.
"Exchange? What's there to exchange?" Lu Yunxin was genuinely terrified by Zhou Maidong's piano playing.
Now, she feels so sleepy that her scalp tingles just trying to talk to Zhou Maidong, let alone maintain a continuous conversation with him.
Bao Keming wanted to have a good talk with Qiao Manyun.
He wanted to discuss with her that even if they argued on later shows, they shouldn't have such an ugly argument like today.
Even after this show ends, they still have to live their lives, and even if it's not dignified, they should try not to go too far.
Zhao Anyu and Chen Xuanqi just wanted to find a quiet corner to part ways; saying another word to each other would be a waste of their lives.
But in front of the camera, they still tried their best to create a broken couple vibe of lingering feelings for each other, turning back to look at each other and smiling every two steps.
Zhu Ji and Lin Ning followed behind them, watching the entire performance that was so awkward it was almost unbearable.
Then, the two of them strolled slowly along the path, saying whatever came to mind and appreciating whatever they saw.
Only Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran remained, standing in the living room, looking at each other.
Chu Xingli wasn't particularly opposed to going out with Luo Xiaoran, but he felt that Luo Xiaoran would probably prefer to go back to his room upstairs to sleep rather than go for a walk.
But standing there, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed to ask Luo Xiaoran about going upstairs to sleep.
It's their shared room, so asking that question...
That's too ambiguous, it's not appropriate.
Chu Xingli hesitated again and again, licking her lips repeatedly, before finally taking a deep breath and asking, suppressing her embarrassment, "Do you want to go back to your room to sleep?"
"I'm not so sleepy anymore after eating." Luo Xiaoran would much rather take a walk with Chu Xingli.
Even when he was really sleepy, he would secretly punch himself twice when Chu Xingli wasn't paying attention, to force himself to wake up.
Chu Xingli has never had such a formal conversation with Luo Xiaoran before, in the form of a mission.
After hearing Luo Xiaoran's words, he thought it over and decided to give Luo Xiaoran a very enthusiastic reply.
"Wow, you're amazing! It's so good to be young, you have so much energy." Chu Xingli's emotional appeal was spot on.
During his free time, he also watched a few program replays.
From God's perspective, Chu Xingli could naturally see how much emotional value Luo Xiaoran had given him, and he should reciprocate with some of it as a matter of courtesy.
Luo Xiaoran was surprised that Chu Xingli suddenly spoke to him in such a tone.
But before he could figure out how to answer Chu Xingli's question, the corners of his mouth turned up in a pathetic smile.
We can't hold on.
I simply couldn't take it anymore.
From a young age, whenever I hug him or praise him, he can't control his facial expressions.
The fact that Luo Xiaoran hadn't picked up Chu Xingli and spun her around in that short time was already the limit of his patience.
On the other hand, Chu Xingli, who was silently observing Luo Xiaoran's emotional changes, did not reveal any of the inner turmoil in her heart.
Everything is difficult at the beginning.
The question has already been asked.
Young Master Chu simply closed his eyes and steeled his heart, inviting the program team as requested: "Then let's... go out for a walk?"
If Luo Xiaoran had a tail, it would probably be flying off by now.
He nodded, his smile only growing stronger: "Okay."
[My brother Ranzi has been coaxed into becoming an embryo.]
Who wouldn't be happy to hear what Hug said?
[Waaaaah, I still feel so unfair, my dear wife!]
[Hugs is definitely a former kindergarten teacher; he made Ranzi so happy with just a few words.]
[Wife, you've been fooled by the tonic! Luo Xiaoran is a vixen! o(╥﹏╥)o]
The two of them went out from the backyard of the villa.
I strolled slowly along the cobblestone path.
"Does your hand still hurt?" Chu Xingli remembered that Luo Xiaoran had been serving him food and rice during the meal, and he wondered if it had affected the wound on his left hand.
"Buzz—!!!"
"Buzz buzz buzz—!!!"
A slightly noisy sound came from not far away.
This forced Chu Xingli to move closer to Luo Xiaoran to ensure that he could hear her.
Luo Xiaoran appeared to be unaware of the situation.
He kept his eyes lowered gently, listening to Chu Xingli speak.
"Hey? Look what's that? It's so cool." Chu Xingli's attention was suddenly drawn to what was in front of her.
That was an old man pushing a lawnmower.
This is based on years of experience.
With just one glance, Luo Xiaoran could tell that Chu Xingli's curiosity about this work had reached its peak.
It would be a real shame if we didn't help him achieve it.
Seeing this, he took the initiative to approach the old man and asked, "Hello, how much do you get paid per hour for this job? Do you need any help during the workday?"
The old man looked extremely tired.
Just as I was about to take a break, two young men came up to chat with me to cheer me up, which made me quite happy.
Upon hearing Luo Xiaoran's question, the old man, hands on his hips and panting, held up one finger: "This workload is heavy, one hundred per hour."
He took a breath and continued, "I don't usually need one, but I'm quite tired today, and I really need a helper."
Luo Xiaoran took out his phone and asked the old man, "Okay, where should I scan?"
The old man, who also pulled out his phone to pay and thought he'd hired an assistant, was like: "???"
[lol, you're so cute, you actually chose to work as a lawnmower!]
[Old man: Huh? For me?]
[I'll get a hug from the weeding crew right away: Wow, that's a great deal!]
[Brother Ranzi, do you have to be so doting? Aww, you really understand the thought process behind hugs.]
[You're always doing this to make Baobao happy, Luo Xiaoran, I'm so sad, I could cry!]
Both sides felt they had gotten a good deal.
