Only a week after crossing over, Shen Qingqing felt that she had experienced a social death that she had never experienced in the previous 28 years.
I thought it was embarrassing enough that I threatened the kid that eating too much ice cream would give him a stomachache, but I turned out to have gastroenteritis. Now I was being watched by everyone in the Zhou family!
For a moment, the feeling of collapse overwhelmed the pain in her body.
If possible, Shen Qingqing really wanted to find a hole to bury herself.
Given Shen Qingqing's identity, few people dared to laugh at her.
The Zhou family's security guards have always been of high quality. They kept a straight face throughout the whole process and retreated after realizing that nothing had happened. Even the housekeeper Aunt Chen just smiled helplessly and called a family doctor for her.
However, Shen Qingqing always felt that the look in their eyes when they looked at her was full of ridicule.
Look, there are such idiots in this world!
There was actually someone who got sick and couldn't find medicine, and he fell to the ground and was almost mistaken for a bad guy by the security guard.
But Aunt Chen and the security guard probably haven’t watched today’s live broadcast, right?
However, Zhou Jiayan, with his messy hair from sleeping, stared at her with his big eyes and said, "So you didn't lie to me last night. Eating too much ice cream really does give you a stomachache!"
Shen Qingqing only felt that her head hurt even more. Was Zhou Jiayan doing this on purpose?
If you don't speak, you won't be considered dumb!
At this time, Shen Qingqing was speechless due to the successive blows. She might as well roll her eyes and pretend to be faint.
Fortunately, Aunt Chen, the housekeeper, was reliable and quickly asked the servants to help Shen Qingqing lie down on the bed in the bedroom.
The doctor arrived quickly, in just over ten minutes. He was a middle-aged man in his early forties who had been serving the Zhou family for nearly ten years and was very familiar with the physical conditions of the Zhou family members.
After the consultation, the man smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. You just ate too much these days, all kinds of spicy and salty food, and then you ate ice cream at night. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and you'll be well soon."
The doctor's words did not comfort Shen Qingqing. Shen Qingqing felt even more embarrassed.
She lived there for a week and was happy that she finally didn't have to control her diet, so she let herself eat to her heart's content. However, she was soon severely judged by reality!
She gave an awkward but polite smile, "Thank you, doctor. I understand what you said."
The doctor then left the medicine and went away. Under Aunt Chen's supervision, Shen Qingqing took the medicine.
The drug was very powerful and had some sedative effect, but after ten minutes Shen Qingqing felt drowsy. Of course, she thought it was better to fall asleep, as there shouldn't be such embarrassing things in her dreams.
However, at this moment she heard a series of "thump thump" footsteps. She opened her eyes with great effort and saw a child in black silk pajamas standing not far from her, staring at her with his big round eyes.
Shen Qingqing thought in a daze, could this kid be coming to laugh at me again?
She said weakly, "Yanyan, I know that I am not very reliable as an adult, but I am like this now, so you don't have to laugh at me."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiayan stretched out his chubby hand and touched her abdomen, his little face full of concern, "Does it hurt? When I was sick before, I felt so much pain, and I had to take bitter medicine."
He actually came to care about me!
Shen Qingqing suddenly felt that she was so "bad" that she actually speculated about a little kid in that way!
She is not a fragile person. In her previous life, she was accustomed to bearing all the illnesses alone.
But it does feel good to have someone care about you, even if it's just a little kid who knows nothing.
She shook her head and said in a soft voice, "It doesn't hurt much after taking the medicine. I should be fine after a good night's sleep. You should go to bed first. It's getting late."
Zhou Jiayan nodded, but he was still a little worried. "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. Don't lie to me because I'm a child. I hate it most when adults lie to me under the pretext of not letting me worry."
The child's reaction was a little excited. Shen Qingqing was a little confused, but she still assured him soothingly, "Yeah, I won't lie to you."
However, Zhou Jiayan still seemed uneasy. He stretched out his finger and said, "Let's make a pinky promise. You adults are the best at lying."
Shen Qingqing began to doubt whether she was really that unreliable, as she was actually being lectured by a child like this.
But the child was kind-hearted, so she also stretched out her pinky finger and intertwined it with the child's soft fingers. "Okay, pinky promise, pinky promise, don't change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy."
However, Zhou Jiayan did not follow Shen Qingqing's words. He just wrinkled his nose and said, "You don't need to turn into a puppy. You just need to live well."
Huh? Shen Qingqing couldn't help but be full of questions. She was just suffering from a minor illness, so why did they make it a matter of life or death?
At this moment, she saw a trace of sadness flashing in Zhou Jiayan's usually bright eyes. Shen Qingqing, who was about to make a few jokes, stopped talking immediately.
She reached out and touched Zhou Jiayan's head, and said patiently, "Didn't the doctor just say that? I just have a minor illness, and it will be fine after taking some medicine. If you don't believe me, you should believe the doctor, right?"
Zhou Jiayan nodded, "Yeah."
Then he seemed to feel that he had said too much, and turned around shyly, ran out of the bedroom, and left only one sentence, "Then you should rest first, I'm going to bed."
Shen Qingqing looked at Zhou Jiayan's back and couldn't help but sigh that he was such a weird child.
But then she felt something was wrong with the child. A five-year-old child actually mentioned life and death. It was very likely that he had experienced the death of an adult before...
In the original novel, Shen Qingqing's family is a negative control group, and not much is written about them. Zhou Jiayan, who is a pure tool, is even less described. It is only mentioned that Zhou Yexuan took him home when he was two years old, but there is no mention of who his mother is.
She hadn't heard of anyone from the Zhou family dying in the past few years. Could it be Zhou Jiayan's biological mother? It was normal for a genius like Zhou Jiayan to remember things from when he was two years old.
Shen Qingqing was guessing something in her mind, and at the same time she felt pity for Zhou Jiayan.
If the speculation is true, then Zhou Jiayan witnessed his mother's death when he was two years old. Before her death, his mother "lied" to him that she was fine. However, this is still a lifelong shadow for Zhou Jiayan.
Shen Qingqing sighed. She definitely couldn't ask Zhou Jiayan about this matter. She could only wait for her cheap husband to come back one day and ask him indirectly.
Perhaps the effect of the drug was taking effect again. The more Shen Qingqing thought about it, the more confused she became. Finally, there was only one thought left in her mind: at most she would tease Zhou Jiayan less in the future.
By the way, she has to get up on time tomorrow, otherwise the program crew and netizens will definitely notice something unusual.
However, when Shen Qingqing woke up again, it was already noon.
The live broadcast of the program starts at nine o'clock every morning. Although Shen Qingqing didn't get up early in the past, she always got up on time to start the live broadcast.
Shen Qingqing had a reputation for being a big shot, so in order to avoid misunderstanding, Aunt Chen explained that Shen Qingqing had gastroenteritis last night and had been tossing and turning for most of the night, so she hadn't gotten up yet.
The staff members of the program crew all expressed their understanding on the surface, but they were laughing in their hearts. They all witnessed Shen Qingqing fooling Zhou Jiayan on the spot, but no one expected that "retribution" would come so quickly.
So when Shen Qingqing finished washing up and went downstairs to the living room, he saw people around him looking at him with a smile.
At this time, the system played its due role, telling what had just happened and also reporting the netizens' "ridicule" of her.
Shen Qingqing looked heartbroken. The thing she least wanted to happen still happened!
If she had known earlier, she might as well have pretended to be sick and continued to sleep all day! She even put on lipstick to cover up her pale lips before going downstairs, pretending to be very energetic.
The audience in the live broadcast room naturally had no sympathy and continued to "laugh".
[Hahaha, Shen Qingqing is really my source of joy. This is the first time I’ve seen retribution come so quickly! ]
[I secretly ate Yanyan's ice cream last night and threatened the child that he would have a stomachache if he ate too much. But I ended up getting gastroenteritis.]
[This is something even God cannot bear to see! ]
[I advise Shen Qingqing to be a good person in the future! At least don't steal children's food anymore. ]
[Hahaha, I'm going to edit this scene together with Shen Qingqing's threats to Yanyan last night and post them on Weibo. It's so funny.]
[Thank you, Shen Qingqing, for making the workers burst into laughter at their workstations early in the morning. ]
…
As he had to continue the program's tasks today, Zhou Jiayan's classes were cancelled. At this moment, he was holding a picture book and writing and drawing very seriously.
Shen Qingqing remembered Zhou Jiayan's warm-hearted appearance last night and decided to go to him to find warmth.
However, just as Shen Qingqing approached, Zhou Jiayan raised her head and looked at her, rubbing salt into her wounds, "Mom, you finally woke up, you are so good, it turns out that what you said was true, you really wanted to protect Yanyan from the stomachache, so you ate Yanyan's ice cream! Yanyan is so touched! Otherwise, I would have had the stomachache last night!"
Shen Qingqing stopped in her tracks. This was really sarcastic!
But in just one night, Zhou Jiayan turned from a little angel into a little devil again! She must have been in a daze last night to have the illusion that Zhou Jiayan was a little warm-hearted man!
After Zhou Jiayan finished speaking, he gave her a sly smile. The look of this little devil directly shattered Shen Qingqing's newly-born "motherly heart".
Haha, she originally wanted to let him go today, but if that’s the case, he can just wait to be a “child laborer”.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing stretched out her hand and rubbed Zhou Jiayan's fair and tender face fiercely until Zhou Jiayan's face turned red, then she let go.
She said viciously, "Since mom is so good to you and is very weak even though she is sick, you will be responsible for packing today. This is what you promised yesterday."
Zhou Jiayan's originally smiling face suddenly fell, and his little face turned petrified.
Damn it, he actually forgot about this mission!
[Hahaha, as expected, the mother and son are starting to love and hate each other again. ]
[Wow, I envy Shen Qingqing so much. I want to pinch Yanyan's little face too.]
[Yanyan is going to be treated as a child laborer, hahaha, let him be naughty before! ]
[In fact, I think the relationship between mother and son is very good. Maybe they themselves don’t realize that Zhou Jiayan is very quiet when he is alone, but he becomes more active around Shen Qingqing.]
[It's not okay for Yanyan to be inactive. Shen Qingqing is really too naughty and bearish! ]
