Chapter 61: A Happy Puppy with Lots of Love...
What's up with Dinosaur Chuan Chuan? Are you questioning our fans' naming skills?
[No, no, I just think you guys are doing a great job of following the main character.]
Oh my god, I never dreamed I'd be able to banter with Trump supporters online one day. I always thought they were like battlegrounds in the fandom, but now I'm a little uncomfortable when they're not fighting.
If you want to be scolded, I can satisfy you.
As the comments were clamoring, the scene became a chaotic mess. Jiang Yize's cow, halfway along the path, began defecating. The PD quickly turned the camera away. At that moment, a lamb being chased by a sheepdog darted past him, startling him so much that he instinctively backed away. The next second, Ning Sheng suddenly shouted anxiously, "Save the duck!" The PD, upon hearing this, tried his best to stop his leg from hitting the ground. Looking down, he saw a fluffy duckling emerge from beneath his feet.
From the vast grassland, there were continuous noisy sounds of "Quack", "Mee~", "Woof! Woof woof woof!", "Watch your step! Don't step on my ducks", "Please, big cow, please move forward", "Let's charge, charge, charge!"
In the end, Ning Sheng, who had finally found one duckling only to have the other rebel and escape, managed to break through the chaos and "hard" take last place. However, the production team didn't intend for the last duckling to be responsible for everyone's dinner, so they simply arranged for Ning Sheng to learn how to cook a few grassland delicacies from the ranch staff.
The ranch provided a final dinner, a hearty feast of Ulinati specialties. Thick beef patties, delicious tripe wraps, fragrant milk tofu, and sweet and sour kumis. Everyone gathered around the open-air grill, grilling skewers while listening to the melodious music of a distant harp.
The wind blew gently across the wilderness, and laughter echoed endlessly. Ji Jingchuan, not noticing the alcohol content of the kumis, drank until he was a little tipsy, humming an impromptu song while holding the lamb.
"You're a silly little lamb. Silly little lambs don't know how to be upset. Little lamb, grow up quickly. It would be awesome if you could become a domineering lamb."
“Mee——”
The lyrics he improvised were a bit fanciful, and paired with the upbeat rhythm, they sounded like a lovely nursery rhyme. The lamb's sudden "baa" was the perfect touch, making everyone burst into laughter.
Ji Jingchuan lay down on the grass. The starry night sky was vast and boundless. The wind stirred his burning chest. He narrowed his drunken eyes and raised his finger to the sky as if he was at a concert and asked, "Who is the dumbest person here?"
"Ji Jingchuan." "Ji Jingchuan!" "Ji, Jing, Chuan!"
I didn't hear who started it, but then everyone started shouting his name.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was so good, but Ji Jingchuan didn't explode like usual. Instead, he lay there for a while before asking, "Who's the smartest person here?"
"Shang Que." "Lin Jinyi!" "Lu Zhixu." "Of course it's me!" "Ning Sheng, Ning Sheng."
"Don't talk about yourself. Start over!" Ji Jingchuan narrowed down the list. "Who is the smartest, most popular, most handsome, best singing, tallest, and the male idol with a three-character name?"
Three, two, one—
"Ji Jingchuan!"
"Mee!"
【Of course it’s us, Chuan Chuan! 】
[Hahahaha, I almost gave out my ID number.]
【But everyone really dotes on him. 】
How did he go from being disliked by everyone to being the group's favorite?
Because our stinky little dog is really cute! Even I've changed from a hater to a fan.
[Because love nourishes people, I used to be a resentful and evil swordsman, but now I am a happy puppy with lots of love!]
For example, at this moment, the happy puppy raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction when he heard this answer.

The next day, it was already afternoon when Ji Jingchuan returned home after finishing the filming. As soon as his butt touched the sofa, he was picked up by Shang Que.
"What are you doing?" He hung in Shang Que's hand like a salted fish, his whole body limp. He said weakly, "Let me rest for a while before going out to eat. I'm so tired."
"We're not going to eat, we're going to the high-speed rail station to pick up mom. Her train arrives at 3:30." Shang Que loosened his grip on his collar.
The next second, Ji Jingchuan stood at attention and stood straight.
He stood there in a daze for a moment. After a moment, his mind seemed to have just turned on, and he mechanically asked, "What time will we arrive?"
Shang Que:?
"Three-thirty."
Ji Jingchuan glanced at the time, then suddenly hurriedly picked up the car keys and walked out: "Then we have to leave now. The airport is so far from the city."
Shang Que: ...
"Ji Jingchuan, you only received one of the three messages I just mentioned, right?" Shang Que crossed his arms and corrected him, "It's to go to the high-speed rail station."
"Oh oh oh," Ji Jingchuan said
As if waking from a dream, "You're taking the transoceanic high-speed train back home, right?"
Shang Que: "Switch to manual labor."
"What high-speed rail can cross the Pacific Ocean?" Shang Que pushed him out and slammed the door.
Ji Jingchuan suddenly thought of something and turned back: "Wait, let me change my clothes."
"There are so many things to do, no need to change."
"Shang Que, are you afraid that I'll steal your limelight because I'm too handsome?" Ji Jingchuan pleaded, grabbing the door handle playfully. "Of course I have to dress formally for our first meeting. Mom will definitely be surprised to see how tall and handsome her son is."
"Surprised?" Shang Que narrowed his eyes and stopped trying to stop him. "Then go change it."
Someone will indeed be surprised, but who that person will be... is hard to say.
*
The high-speed rail station was not far from home. By the time Ji Jingchuan changed his clothes and had his hair blown dry, it was only around 3:20 when he drove there.
In order to avoid being recognized and causing a commotion, they parked the car in a corner some distance away from the exit. After Shang Que took a photo and sent the location to Ms. Shang, he got out of the car and waited on the side of the road.
Ji Jingchuan on the side seemed to have ADHD. He touched the runway-style windbreaker on his body and asked, "Shang Que, am I cool in this outfit?", and then looked at the crowded crowd at the exit and muttered, "Are they coming out? They should be coming out soon."
Shang Que's ears were almost callused from listening to this. At this moment, Ji Jingchuan suddenly said, "Shang Que, this is the aunt we met in the ancient town before."
Shang Que was startled and followed his gaze. Not far away, Ms. Shang was pushing a suitcase towards them.
She was a little confused: "Aren't you face-blind? How did you recognize it?"
"I don't know." Ji Jingchuan himself felt strange, but did not have time to think about it: "She seems to be coming towards us, why not say hello."
Ji Jingchuan felt that this aunt had an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Most importantly, she had a good eye and could see his hidden strengths on their first meeting. So when he saw her getting closer, Ji Jingchuan waved and called out, "Ah——"
"Mother!"
Ji Jingchuan:?
Where does that sound come from? Am I hallucinating?
"Xiaobao, do you miss your mother?" Ms. Shang rubbed Shang Que's cheek. After receiving an affirmative answer, she looked at Ji Jingchuan, who was completely stunned, and smiled maliciously: "Ah, helpful big star, see you again."
"Ah? We meet again, ah--" Ji Jingchuan kept his mouth open and almost called out "Auntie" subconsciously. After he came to his senses, he quickly closed his mouth.
Ms. Shang curled her eyes, stopped teasing him, and changed the subject, praising him: "Isn't this coat a new model from last month's show? You look better in it than the model."
When Ji Jingchuan heard this, the invisible little tail behind him began to wag: "Yeah, Shang Que said so too."
"When did I ever say that?"
"I heard what you said in your heart." Ji Jingchuan was arguing with Shang Que while putting Ms. Shang's luggage into the trunk. He turned around and shouted, "Hey - we've booked a restaurant, let's go eat first."
He opened his mouth, but for some reason he couldn't say "Mom". After opening the car door and waiting for Ms. Shang to get in, Ji Jingchuan closed his lips and couldn't help frowning in frustration.
Ms. Shang hadn't been home for a long time, and the big changes in Jinghai made her feel unfamiliar and curious. So after dinner, seeing that it was still early, she suggested going for a walk nearby before going home.
Ji Jingchuan then drove to Jinghai Amusement Park, which was not far from the hotel, and bought three tickets to enter.
On weekend evenings, the park is full of children. Ms. Shang surveyed her surroundings and reminisced, "Even this park has been renovated. Do you remember when you were in kindergarten, I often asked you to take time off so I could bring you here to play?"
"I remember," Shang Que nodded, "because animal marshmallows are only sold on Mondays."
"So you two have a cold every Monday." Ms. Shang couldn't help but laugh. "Then one time I asked for leave to go out and play, and coincidentally, I ran into your principal here. From then on, she refused to approve any leave I asked for on your behalf."
Ms. Shang tapped Shang Que's nose and said, "And it was clearly your idea, yet after it was exposed, your grandparents only scolded me."
Shang Que said confidently, "Kindergarten children don't have the capacity for civil conduct, so of course the guardian is responsible."
"You were so clever back then, you didn't look like a normal kid at all."
Ji Jingchuan doesn't have a very deep memory of kindergarten. He only remembers that there was a period of time when other children were in school and he often went out to play with his sister and mother.
Now listening to them talking about the past, Ji Jingchuan realized that there were so many hidden stories at that time. He couldn't help but smile slightly.
At this moment, a familiar horn voice came from not far away: "Marshmallow, marshmallow, children can make shapes for free, there are bunnies, cats and dogs."
Ji Jingchuan paused and turned to look. The once humble cotton candy cart had been transformed into a luxurious hut, now open daily instead of once a week. The queue was mostly filled with children, who, after receiving their favorite animal cotton candy, happily ran towards the adults waiting for them.
Ji Jingchuan's shoulders suddenly sank, and he turned around to see Ms. Shang with her arms resting on his and Shang Que's shoulders. She leaned over and asked, "What shape of marshmallows do you want, little ones?"
Ji Jingchuan was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say that only children could customize the shape of marshmallows, Shang Que spoke first:
"Little bird!"
He quickly added, "I want the Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
"Okay, wait for me here." Ms. Shang touched their heads and walked over to line up. "A little bird and a Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Ma'am, only children can specify shapes."
Ms. Shang remained calm and said, "Yes, I bought them for my two little ones."
She looked young, and a woman holding a child beside her asked, "How many months old is your little baby?"
"One is four years and 253 months old, and the other is two years and 249 months old."
The woman calculated and teased with a smile: "You're in your twenties and still a little treasure?"
"What's wrong with being in your twenties? No matter how old you are, you're still your mother's little treasure." Ms. Shang paid, took the finished marshmallows, and stepped out of the crowd: "Here, little treasures, one for each of you, and no one is allowed to fight over them."
"I won't fight with him for it. Mine is much better looking." Shang Que took out his phone and took a picture of the bird lollipop in his hand. "Thank you, Mom."
Ji Jingchuan looked at the green cartoon Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of him, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up. Suddenly, he said loudly: "Obviously, mine looks better, right, mom?"
