Chapter 52 052 Potstickers [Second Update]
It's not quite accurate to say that Wen Fan is trending on social media. More precisely, it's that today, a video of Wang Zihao squatting on the mountain and imitating the sound of an egg yolk was taken and went viral in the local area.
The person filming the video played some light music. In the group of people, the center of attention was originally Wen Fan feeding her beagle.
But suddenly, a chubby, adorable little boy looked left and right, then suddenly had an idea and let out a "wer!" The audience burst into laughter.
The blogger captioned the post: "[The beagle and the child I met on the mountain, hahaha]".
Wen's mother checked the time; the other party was quick enough, posting the news online less than half an hour after it happened.
After an afternoon of fermentation, several local news accounts with keen senses have now reprinted it.
The comments below are hilarious.
[Hilarious! Beagle never imagined someone would imitate it. The moment that child squatted down, both the owner and the dog seemed stunned.]
[Mom: Ahhhhh, don't bark like a dog!]
[I must say, that donkey bray was quite standard.]
[The little guy is absolutely adorable while he's still young!]
[Dog owner: Little one, do you like it? How about I give it to you?]
Children are cute, and so is Little Bi (but not dogs).
[I hope you'll let me keep this little guy for two more months before I return him to you.]
[I could hear the sound of the abacus from overseas.]
[Child: That's what it was calling! I want some too!]
[The kid is very clear-headed. Even the puppy Wer gets fed, so Wer naturally gets food too.]
[That's an awful braying sound, more like a donkey's bray (not implying that a louder bray would be better).]
Two months later, Master: The Demon Child has been born!
...
The comments section was packed with messages. A video that was only a dozen seconds long had tens of thousands of comments, with some praising the child's cuteness and others teasing the beagle. Some people seemed to have missed the point.
Am I the only one curious about how delicious the shredded beef was? Even the little kid was begging for some!
Is this little girl the owner of the beagle? She's so pretty!
The mother, seeing that her hands were full, was still feeding the girl; she was so envious of this kind of family atmosphere.
[The little girl wanted to keep a beagle, and her family agreed. I wanted to keep a cat, but my mom told me to get out.]
[Pat the baby in front of you. You can wait until you're independent to raise them yourself. I recommend Siamese; they're affectionate and obedient.]
...
Wen's mother was amused by the comments, but Wen Fan was a little unhappy.
"Why do these people keep talking about egg yolks?"
She even said she didn't want her puppy, but she wouldn't throw away the egg yolk.
Wen's mother hugged her and said, "Everyone was just making jokes."
Beagle is so famous that even Wen's mother recently searched for information about Beagle and gained a deeper understanding of her daughter's dog.
Wen Fan was fuming.
A moment later, Wen's mother's phone flashed twice with message notifications. She clicked on them and saw that it was from Wang Zihao's mother.
Wang Zihao's mother had obviously seen the video as well, forwarding it to Wen's mother and sending a crying-laughing emoji.
This video has all the elements. Besides the fact that beagles are inherently easy to talk about, another reason is that Wang Zihao is very cute.
Yes, it's very cute.
Wang Zihao's mother complained: "You know how fast people move these days. It hasn't been that long, and they've already found my account. I just received a message from someone asking if I wanted to get my son's image improved."
Wang Zihao's mother sometimes takes pictures of her son's daily life. Although she is often worried about her son's physique, in the eyes of many people, this chubby and cute little boy is inherently funny.
The MCN agency that contacted her commented that Wang Zihao "looks like a cute, chibi-style child" and "could be developed in that direction."
Wang Zihao's mother: "I can't bear to let my child become an internet celebrity, but it seems that some netizens have already come looking for him."
Netizens weren't much slower; they quickly found Wang Zihao's mother's account and expressed their fondness for the little boy who barked at the dog, leaving comments on his previous posts.
Wang Zihao's mother spoke for a while, and what she meant was that her family didn't need their child to be in the spotlight, but if the Wen family did, they could open an account to attract attention.
Wen's mother felt that her daughter would not agree.
Wen Fan was indeed uninterested. Her only complaint about this online craze was that people said her yolk was naughty.
"Egg yolk is clearly very well-behaved!"
I haven't been peeing on the floor much lately!
Mr. and Mrs. Wen smiled: "Yes, yes, the yolk is very well-behaved."
...
The family thought the hype would die down quickly, but the next day everyone around them said they had seen the video.
Needless to say, as soon as Wen Fan entered the classroom, Qin He and Han Lulu rushed up and led her out of the classroom.
"Wen Fan, you're trending!"
Wen Fan put down his schoolbag: "Here, breakfast."
She made potstickers today, so she brought disposable chopsticks for both of them.
Han Lulu was alright; she knew Wen Fan had a dog, but she didn't know it was a beagle.
Qin He was shocked and forgot about breakfast, chasing after him to ask about his experience raising Bigger.
Wen Fan: "My dog, Egg Yolk, is very well-behaved. It usually stays in the same room as me. It doesn't make a sound at night and even wakes me up in the morning. It's very cute."
Qin He and Han Lulu: ...
Wen Fan looked at the two of them: "You don't believe me?"
Qin He and Han Lulu chuckled awkwardly. Could they say they didn't believe it? Wen Fan was clearly a little protective of her own. If she said bad things about her dog, would she still get breakfast in the future?
"I believe, I believe!"
The two opened the box; the potstickers were filled with corn and pork, juicy and with the corn kernels peeking out from under the half-exposed skin. With a crisp, golden-brown crust, the aroma of the fried potstickers was immediately captivating, blending with the savory meat juices of the filling. The soft dough, the crispy bottom, the fresh and not-too-greasy meat filling, and the occasional sweet corn kernels—like a delightful surprise—all contributed to the delightful experience.
Simple potstickers, but eating them feels like a treat.
While eating, the two discussed Wen Fan's dog, and Han Lulu said that she would prepare more dog toys for Wen Fan later.
Bigger, if you don't destroy the house, can you still be called a Bigger?
"Hmm, are you free tomorrow? I'll bring the toy to you."
Wen Fan: "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner."
Qin He hesitated upon hearing this.
"Wen Fan, I heard from Jin Rui that your family owns a restaurant... Is that true?"
Actually, the two of them brought Wen Fan out because they didn't want her to be subjected to other people's stares as soon as she entered the class.
Jin Rui arrived unusually early today. He acted as if he had defeated Wen Fan, spreading the word that Wen Fan's family owned a small restaurant near the school gate. He spoke with such conviction that the students began to have serious doubts about Wen Fan.
What's the question?
It's just that she pretended to be rich last semester and it backfired. Is that even a big deal?
Qin He breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wen Fan didn't seem to take it to heart.
"Don't pay any attention to Jin Rui, he's a boring guy. By the way, is your parents' shop right across from the school? Can we go eat there?"
Wen Fan: "Come on, I'll give you a 10% discount!"
Qin He quickly waved her hand, her face slightly flushed: "No need for a discount."
Wen Fan said seriously, "Of course you'll get a 10% discount, but if Jin Rui goes... I won't serve him even if he gets a 10% discount."
She has no other good points, except for one thing: she doesn't want to deal with anyone who annoys her.
From now on, she'll block everyone from Jin Rui and Fu Chuan!
With her mouth full of potstickers, Han Lulu frantically raised her hand: "Me too! Me too! Wen Fan, can I go eat with you for lunch?"
"You get a 10% discount too."
Han Lulu straightened her back and decided to go eat lunch today!
The three of them packed their things and rushed into the classroom before the bell rang. As soon as they entered, they heard Jin Rui speaking loudly.
"She's a fake, what's with the pretense!"
"Huh? I thought she was some kind of rich young lady, but she's just a food vendor!"
Jin Rui was very arrogant, and Wen Fan kept talking even after entering the class.
He thought Wen Fan would remain silent again, but he was wrong.
Wen Fan put down his schoolbag, rolled up his sleeves, and walked past Han Lulu...
He grabbed Jin Rui by the collar.
"You're so annoying."
Like a fly, it keeps bouncing around even if you can't kill it.
Jin Rui, neck stiff, didn't think Wen Fan could do anything to him, and remained arrogant: "Ha, did I say anything to you? Don't be so quick to take it personally..."
LOL, with Wen Fan's small frame, how could he possibly beat him?
Wen Fan said, "I really can." She had been exercising every day during this period. Although she was not as strong as she was in her previous life, she had at least replenished the blood and energy that the original owner had lost, and her movements were much more agile.
With a kick, the stool was cleared, and Wen Fan, without saying a word, gave Jin Rui an over-the-shoulder throw.
This time, not only was Jin Rui stunned by the fall, but the whole class was stunned.
Fu Chuan suddenly stood up, his expression tense.
Wen Fan clapped his hands: "Don't let me hear you say bad things about me again."
Jin Rui felt like his face was on fire. To be fair, Wen Fan was a little weaker, and the over-the-shoulder throw wasn't very powerful, so he wasn't in much pain. But being humiliated by a girl like this, Jin Rui got up and was about to fight back.
The bell had already rung when the homeroom teacher walked in. Her heart skipped a beat, and she shouted to stop it.
"Jin Rui!"
Less than a minute later, the two were invited to the office.
Jin Rui glared at Wen Fan with hatred.
Wen Fan, on the other hand, remained completely calm.
The homeroom teacher put down the book and asked, "Who wants to go first?"
Wen Fan stepped forward: "Teacher, let me speak first."
She didn't hide anything and told the whole story without bias.
“Teacher, I request that Jin Rui’s seat be changed. I have no direct conflict with him, but Jin Rui always makes sarcastic remarks to his classmates. I don’t think there is anything wrong with what I did.”
Jin Rui clenched his fist: "You do it yourself but don't want anyone to talk about it? What kind of hypocrite are you, pretending to be virtuous when you're already a prostitute..."
He was using foul language, and before Wen Fan could finish speaking, he grabbed him by the collar.
The homeroom teacher quickly separated the students, frowning: "Jin Rui, is this your attitude? Is this how you're raised to swear?"
"Teacher Wang, why didn't you say anything when she hit me first?"
The homeroom teacher rubbed his temples: "What business is it of yours if Wen Fan lies?"
Jin Rui fell silent.
"Jin Rui, Wen Fan, you both got in through the regular entrance exams. You know the school's requirements for you, right? There will be a placement test after the high school graduation exams, which will be at the end of this semester."
"If either of you fails the placement test this semester, you'll be charged the higher tuition fees. Do you know what that means?"
The two students, Wen Fan and Jin Rui, come from different families. Wen Fan's family owns a restaurant, while Jin Rui's family is just a small business.
The school's high-priced students pay 30,000 yuan in tuition alone per semester.
"Think it over carefully. If it happens again, I'll call your parents. I don't accept students who cause trouble in my class."
As Jin Rui walked out of the teacher's office, he spat and glared fiercely at Wen Fan.
Wen Fan snorted: "What are you looking at? Don't be so sarcastic in the future."
She wasn't afraid of Jin Rui's willingness to fight to the death. Just look at how he usually hung out with Fu Chuan and his gang; how many people who fawn over others have the guts to go all out? He's a coward, a bully who preys on the weak. Didn't you see how Jin Rui didn't even give her that mocking, disrespectful look after she threw him down? This kind of person only deserves to be beaten.
Sure enough, after returning to the classroom, Jin Rui stopped talking loudly. As for him passing notes with those boys, Wen Fan pretended not to see it.
Her homeroom teacher's reminder made her suddenly nervous.
The tuition fee was 30,000 yuan, not including the previously waived miscellaneous fees. Wen Fan gritted his teeth, determined that he absolutely could not become a high-priced student!
Wen Fan studied diligently all morning, completely unaware that the gazes directed at her had changed to several different types.
Some people sided with Jin Rui, some thought she was not someone to be trifled with, some thought she did a good job fighting, and Han Lulu was the last type.
She looked at Wen Fan with eyes full of admiration.
Wen Fan did what she wanted to do most.
After the morning classes ended, Han Lulu couldn't wait: "Wen Fan, let's go to your family's restaurant for lunch!"
She made up her mind to become Wen Fan's best friend!
Qin He also came over, showing her support for Wen Fan through her actions and standing with him.
"Let's go eat."
Wen Fan put away the books: "Okay."
She bought a lot of lotus roots the day before yesterday, and last night she stewed a big pot of pork rib soup. This morning she asked her dad to put some lotus roots in, and this soup will be served at noon today.
"I'll treat you to soup."

Author's note: The negative characters in the school will no longer have major plot developments; they're basically out of the story.
