Wang Xinling, always eager for drama, jokingly asked Zhang Long, "They're partners, but what about you? Zhang Long, what gives you the right to serve food to Xiao Baiyun?"
A silly grin appeared on Zhang Longqing's face: "What's the point of distinguishing between positions? If you want to do it, just do it."
“Oh~~”
Little Sweet Wine was the loudest in egging them on, and she even got caught up in the argument.
I wonder who Sister Yun will choose.
She preferred Ye Yingdi; Yun Lianguang was extremely pleasing to the eye when she appeared in the same frame as him.
"Sister Yun, please try these home-style stir-fries and see how they taste."
Five pairs of eyes stared at Yun Lian.
Yun Lian smiled slightly and ladled a bowl of mushroom soup with rice.
"Food is the only thing I can't miss. I'll try everything. The mushroom soup was making my mouth water just now. I'll finish it. You can have whatever you like."
Seeing that Yun Lian had seen through their thoughts, the group ate while trying to figure out how to get Yun Lian to acknowledge their official couple pairing.
But once they started eating, they couldn't stop.
After saving every penny for several seasons, this is the first time I've ever had a full meal at the Heartbeat House.
Even the most ordinary cooking skills are now praised by them.
The production team was practically grinning from ear to ear as they watched the rapidly scrolling comments in the live stream.
Although most people were criticizing Yun Lian.
This also brought a lot of attention to the live stream.
As the director watched, his expression gradually became serious. What were the guests doing?
The director's gaze shifted to the group of people.
Holding the promise, Gu Qinghan's eyes sparkled as she murmured, "Sister, I finally succeeded in meeting my idol."
Wang Xinling ran out of the Heartbeat House, stood by a tree, and remained motionless and silent, just looking up at the moon.
Little Sweet Wine angrily slammed her fist on the sofa: "Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat! You've eaten our family out of house and home! Hurry up and get married so you can get a dowry for your brother!"
Ye Mu crouched under the table, curled up in a ball.
"How can you abandon me too?"
The only one who seemed relatively normal was Yun Lian, who was still at the dining table.
When the director saw this scene, he was completely bewildered.
He quickly ran out and pulled Wang Xinling back into the Heartbeat House: "My dear, aren't you cold outside? What if you catch a cold wearing so little?"
Wang Xinling had just been pulled in when she stubbornly ran back to her original spot: "Shh, don't disturb me while I'm photosynthesizing."
The director got tired after pulling the trigger several times and just wanted to find the only normal person to ask what was going on.
"Grandma, how come you've become like this in just a short while? What's going on? Do you need the production team's cooperation?"
"Get out of the way, you're blocking my way from keeping my pet."
Yun Lian suddenly slammed her fist on the table, causing the thick, round wooden table to collapse.
Ye Mu, who was below, was frightened and rolled out in time to avoid being seriously injured.
But when he came out, he grabbed Yun Lian's hand, and blood spread between their palms.
A flash of white light appeared before Yun Lian's eyes. When she opened them again, she saw a miniature version of Ye Mu squatting by the water.
"Hey, kids, you can't play near the water."
Xiao Ye Mu looked unhappy: "It's none of your business!"
He turned around and faced Yun Lian with his backside.
Yun Lian slapped his bottom: "Hey, I'm still going to check on you today. Where are your parents? If you come to play in the water again, I'll take you to find Uncle Hat."
Feeling both ashamed and angry after being slapped on the butt, Xiao Ye Mu turned and ran away, disappearing from sight.
"Tsk, that's pretty fast."
"San'er, can you hear me?"
Yun Lian tried to call out 003 in her mind, but no matter how she called, she couldn't find it.
Yun Lian hadn't figured out how she got here when the scene suddenly changed again.
This time, as soon as she regained consciousness, she heard a few faint cries.
“Save me…”
Yun Lian looked down. This time, her hands and feet were no longer short and chubby like before; instead, one could see the unique slenderness of a young girl.
Yun Lian, wearing a pair of white sneakers, walked to the swaying trash can.
The cries for help from inside grew louder and louder.
Inside the box was a child who looked like a wolf cub; even though he had been maliciously locked in a trash can, his eyes were still frighteningly bright.
Only when he realized that it wasn't the person who had bullied him did the fierce look in his eyes gradually fade away.
"Thank you for saving me. I will repay you in the future."
He walked with a limp, leaving bloody footprints of varying depths on the ground.
Yun Lian lifted his chin with her finger: "Little brat, you're not even sincere in repaying someone. Who knows how long it will take? I'll give you a chance to repay me now."
Xiao Ye Mu stared at her in disbelief.
Did she just... touch him?
Yun Lian suddenly loosened her grip: "Hey, why are you blushing? You're just a little kid, but you have so many ideas."
"Since no one's home these days, could you come and cook for me?"
Xiao Ye Mu was furious when she saw someone shorter than her who spoke like an adult.
"You want me to cook for you? Can you even stomach it?"
Yun Lian jumped up and gave him a sharp rap on the head.
"Is this how you talk to your savior? Kid, stop talking nonsense and get on my way."
Xiao Ye Mu tried to escape but was stopped by her without making a sound, so he had no choice but to limp and follow her home.
As soon as he arrived at the Yun family home, Yun Lian threw him a set of clean clothes.
"Hurry up and change your clothes, treat all your messy wounds, and cook for me. I'm starving."
Looking at the medicine for her injuries that she had laid out on the coffee table, Xiao Ye Mu wanted to retort, but silently swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
"good."
...
"Hey kid, where's my English book?"
"Hey kid, see my headphones?"
"Hey kid, I heard someone confessed to you today?"
Before they knew it, the two had been together for eight years.
The boy had just grown up, and his features hinted at his future extraordinary talent. However, the figure he was always staring at seemed to never change.
The boy's gaze gradually became tinged with desire.
"Hey kid, where's my algebra error notebook?"
"Call me Ye Mu! What is this if not a mistake notebook?"
"Hmph, dream on, unless you call me sister."
"I don't want to be your younger brother."
"Where do you think you'll go if you leave me? You brat, why are you so stubborn, refusing to let my parents adopt you?"
"You don't understand, you'll understand when you grow up."
"Hmph, pretending to be profound. Here, this is a star strip I specially prepared for you. Once you fill this glass jar with stars, I can grant you one wish."
"Any wish is allowed?"
"Of course, my birthday wish must come true."
"Who expects someone to fold their own birthday present? Yun Lian, just how lazy are you?"
"What do you mean by lazy? This is a chance for you to practice, so you can make your girlfriend happy in the future!"
"What is your wish? You always keep it a secret, making it hard to figure out."
"Hmm... My wish is that you can shine brightly in the future, so that people can see you at a glance, become the center of attention, and let more people discover your goodness."
"Are you obsessed with celebrities? I'm not a big star, how could I be the center of attention?"
"Who can say for sure? Anyway, our Ye Mu is the best. Anything is possible. I believe you can succeed at anything!"
