Chapter 118
Having not worn a red scarf for many years, when Xu Yirou held up the red scarf and asked the children for help, the three siblings looked at each other in bewilderment.
He Nianzhu and Xu Niancheng pinned all their hopes on Xu Qingyan.
Xu Qingyan remained silent.
He Nianzhu asked in confusion, "Brother, don't you know how? Didn't Bubble already attend elementary school for two years?"
Xu Qingyan pinched her brow with her fingers, revealing a section of her fair and taut chin: "I never tied it."
In his memory, Bubble never caused him any trouble and spent most of his time clinging to Jiang Yan.
Xu Qingyan picked up her phone and started searching for video tutorials. He Nianzhu and Xu Niancheng were also busy, diligently searching through every nook and cranny of their memories.
The three siblings frantically tried to imitate what they had learned, while Xu Yirou sighed with her mouth agape, "Forget it, I'll just go find Bubble. You guys play by yourselves."
After saying that, she skipped upstairs to find her granddaughter.
The three siblings: "..."
Xu Qingyan slowly turned off her phone. Although her face was expressionless, the tips of her fair ears were tinged with a faint blush.
"I suggest that you set aside an hour each day to learn how to be a parent of an elementary school student."
I second that.
"I have no objection."
Three years have passed since their mother turned back into a four-year-old child, and they still have much to learn.
When Xu Yirou came down again, the red scarf tied on her collar was bright and fluttering, and the two little girls held hands all the way.
Bubble looked at the three of them with loving eyes. The adults in the family are all useless little devils. Sigh, it's a headache.
Xu Yirou and Paopao attended the same primary school. Qiao Wen accompanied Xu Yirou to the entrance ceremony, and the three children left after dropping her off at the school gate.
Bubble's class is on the second floor. After walking with them to the entrance of the auditorium, we have to go to the morning reading session.
Before leaving, Bubble hugged Xu Yirou, who was shorter than her: "Grandma, if any children bully you, just tell them my name and I'll take care of them."
When she first started elementary school, some clueless boys deliberately bullied her, pulling her braids and throwing her textbooks. She beat them up on the spot until they cried.
After being beaten up, the other party was not satisfied and brought his older brother, who was in second grade, to back him up. The older brother punched him twice, and the two brothers each covered a black eye and cried loudly.
From then on, she became famous among a bunch of little kids.
No one should mess with Jiang Xinyao from Class 1, Grade 2. Don't let her small size fool you; her little fists are incredibly hard and can make people scream in pain.
"Bubble, don't worry, I'm so cute, no one will bully me."
That's true; it's always been the children who play around with Xu Yirou.
If any naughty child bullies her, before she can even complain, the other children around her could drown the naughty child with their spit.
"Grandma, I'll come find you to play after class." Bubble was overjoyed, treating Xu Yirou like a younger sister. "We can finally play together at school again! I'll introduce you to my best friend, and the three of us can play together."
As if on cue, her best friend happened to be passing by.
"Good morning, Yaoyao. Oh, who's that? Is that your little sister?"
"No, this is my great-grandmother."
"Huh?" The little girl in the class was confused. "Nai Nai... what a strange name."
"Oh, her name isn't Nana." Bubble couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply stopped explaining, rubbed against Xu Yi's soft cheek, and looked up, saying, "Then, little grandma, great-grandma, I'll be going now."
Xu Yirou blew a kiss, her high ponytail swaying gracefully, and said in a sweet, soft voice, "Okay, see you later."
After they had walked a distance, their classmates gradually came to their senses and exclaimed in envy.
"Yaoyao, your little sister is so cute! She knows how to be affectionate with you, unlike my little sister who only steals my toys."
Bubble's bright eyes curved into crescents, and she was happier than when others praised her, throwing out a completely irrelevant question.
Does your grandma act cute and affectionate with you?
Friend: ?
"How could that be? My grandma is a university professor. She makes me study every day. Last semester, I failed my exams and when she saw my report card, she almost treated me to bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork."
The friend lamented, "Sigh, my grandma doesn't see my nose or my eyes clearly anymore, but it's alright... but if she tries to act cute with me, I'll definitely faint!"
With a pout of her little puffy mouth and a look of pride in her eyes and brows, she said, "My grandma is different. She plays with me all day long, buys me delicious food, stands up for me when I do something wrong, and even acts cute with me. She's just like a soft and fragrant little cake."
"I have the most unique little grandma in the whole world."
My friends didn't believe me; they thought, "What kind of adult is that nice?"
Moreover, she really couldn't imagine a scene of an old lady acting coquettishly; it was so strange, so very strange.
"What you said makes me want to visit your grandma."
The two cubs walked arm in arm, and Bubble turned around, revealing a set of small white teeth: "You've already seen it."
*
Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies by like a white horse glimpsed through a crack, and time slips away day by day.
Summer has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the sweltering heat has enveloped people, with this summer reaching unprecedented high temperatures.
In temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and most people were hiding in air-conditioned rooms to escape the heat, and Xu Yirou was no exception.
Even though Xu Yirou is already a primary school student, the children still don't feel comfortable leaving her at home.
Xu Qingyan and He Nianzhu were so busy that they didn't have time to take care of the cubs' mother, so the baton naturally fell to Xu Niancheng.
Xu Niancheng was already used to it. Almost every summer vacation, her mother would come with her. Her mother was lively, cheerful, cute, and innocent, and she would provide laughter from time to time, breaking the tense and busy atmosphere in the studio.
She is a true source of joy.
The staff at the studio were all eagerly anticipating her arrival.
The cubs grow quickly. Now seven years old, Xu Yirou's facial features have changed neither drastically nor insignificantly. At first glance, she is unrecognizable. One has to observe her closely for a while to reconcile her with the chubby little girl from three years ago.
While her daughter was busy with her live-streaming work, Xu Yirou sat at a small table specially prepared for her to do her homework.
Compared to her four-year-old self, the seven-year-old girl is much more composed and no longer needs to be lured with snacks to do her homework.
I used to write for five minutes and then play for ten minutes; now I write for ten minutes and then play for five minutes.
In the eyes of the three siblings, their mother's progress was quite remarkable.
Xu Yirou finished her homework quickly because there was little homework today. She had been a junior intern for three years and now the new intern was by her side.
New faces can easily make cubs feel excited.
The talkative Xu Yirou kept chatting with people, talking about everything under the sun, from this family to that family, from all walks of life.
The intern at iRen never expected a seven-year-old to be so talkative, and felt extremely uncomfortable sitting on pins and needles.
Xu Yirou's pure eyes remained unblinking as she sensitively sensed the other person's restraint, and she slowly stopped talking.
She jumped off the chair: "Bai Bai, I'm going to get some water, do you want some?"
"No need... Um, I'll pour it."
"It's alright, please sit down." The little girl said, her figure already becoming a small black dot.
A short while later, the little one returned with two cups of water, carefully handing one to the intern: "Bai Bai, don't worry, my little Bao may be a little fierce sometimes, but she's a good girl and won't bully you."
She paused for a moment, then whispered, "If you're unhappy, you can secretly tell me. I have lots of different flavors of candy in my pocket. What flavor do you like? I'll share with you."
The cub spoke in a low voice, as if afraid that others would hear and snatch all her candy.
Silly yet unexpectedly adorable, the intern smiled faintly: "Then I'll thank you in advance."
Xu Yirou's eyes lit up, two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, and she smiled sweetly, "You're welcome~"
After finishing her water, Xu Yirou wandered around again, pretending to casually stumble upon Xu Niancheng's live stream.
The little hands gripped the door frame, tiptoed, and strained to listen.
My daughter is amazing! She's going to be a top streamer someday, so she'll have lots of babies.
Xu Yirou lingered outside the door for a while, but finally couldn't resist sneaking in and hiding in a corner to admire her daughter who was engrossed in her work.
"Babies, Yun Duo's snack gift pack contains 65 packs of snacks, including Yun Duo's signature duck neck, tiger-skin chicken feet, and meat jerky. It's perfect for gifting to your best friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, or kids. It's the lowest price online at 128! Get ready to grab it while you can!"
Today's live stream is all about snacks. Xu Niancheng spent the whole afternoon tasting a whole box of samples, and the entire live stream room was filled with the aroma of food.
The alluring aroma made Xu Yirou drool.
"My darling, let me try it for you. Look, your lips are all swollen from the spiciness. Mommy feels so bad for you."
A sweet, childlike voice suddenly broke in.
Xu Niancheng's Tom Cat-style head turn: ? ? ?
Didn't she lock the room door?
Where did Mom come from?!
The staff around felt a chill run down their spines, and the operations guy timidly raised his hand: "I just went out for a bit and forgot to close the door when I came back."
Xu Niancheng: Keep smiling.jpg
Xu Niancheng's longtime fans, who were familiar with the existence of the cubs, greeted him enthusiastically in the live chat.
Haha, long time no see, Mommy's little darling~
It's been three years, and we've only heard her voice but never seen her. Can we finally see Mom?
I don't want to see the little pigtails today, I want to see Mommy's little face.
Xu Niancheng ignored the various jokes and banter in the live chat.
The mother cub ignored the other snacks but set her sights on the duck neck in her hand.
"No, duck neck is a bit spicy and not suitable for babies."
"I'm not a little baby, I'm a big baby, big babies can eat!"
"Mommy, please face the fact that you are a seven-year-old child."
“So what if I’m seven? I’m a proud elementary school student now, not a kindergarten kid. I wear my red scarf every day,” Xu Yirou argued.
[Hahaha, let her eat it!]
In front of many fans in the live broadcast room, Xu Niancheng couldn't bring herself to use the excuse that snacks were harmful.
She steeled herself, closed her eyes, and said, "No matter what you say, it won't work."
Cold-blooded and ruthless.
The mother cub's little face scrunched up, her lips pursed—a harbinger of an impending storm.
Xu Niancheng's tough attitude softened immediately, and she bent down slightly: "Sigh, big baby, you're not allowed to cry..."
Now!
Xu Yirou seized the opportunity, jumped onto her daughter's lap, and swiftly grabbed the duck neck from her daughter's hand.
I got it! I got it!
Xu Niancheng, who couldn't dodge in time: ! !
It's over.
She hurriedly checked the comments, and even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, it was enough for netizens to see clearly.
[Holy crap, that girl looks just like the streamer! If she's not a sister, she must be a daughter!]
No wonder he'd been so reluctant to show his face; it turns out that if he did, he wouldn't be able to hide the truth from his daughter.
【Hey, Shenjin, just because they look alike doesn't mean they're mother and daughter! How can you be so heartless? Chengcheng is only twenty-three years old! Stop spreading these dirty rumors!】
[But she really looks just like him, a perfect chibi version of Sweet Orange!]
Xu Niancheng quickly came up with a quick excuse and calmly continued her live stream.
The comments section was no longer peaceful, as a video of Xu Yirou appearing for only three seconds was released by someone with ulterior motives.
Before long, rumors began to circulate. Xu Niancheng's high popularity in the live streaming circle made many of her peers envious. They finally found a stain that might ruin her image, and they all pounced on her like hungry tigers, sparing no effort to add fuel to the fire.
Painful rumors are always the most effective way to destroy a girl.
Breaking news! Popular livestreamer with millions of followers, Tian Chengcheng, is suspected of giving birth to a daughter out of wedlock!
— Rumors circulate online that Sweet Orange has a chaotic private life and has a daughter with her ex-boyfriend, an idol!
—A mysterious little girl appeared in Sweet Orange's live stream, and her identity remains a mystery!
It was a rare weekend, and I got up early to prepare for yoga with my sister-in-law. As soon as I picked up my phone, I saw these message notifications, and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"What the hell? Aren't these marketing accounts going too far? I'm only twenty-three years old, how could I possibly have a seven-year-old child!" Xu Niancheng laughed angrily. "They've abandoned all moral principles to grab attention, they really will stop at nothing."
She was engrossed in her rant, completely unaware of the approaching footsteps.
Xu Qingyan and He Nianzhu appeared behind Xu Niancheng like ghosts.
He Nianzhu stared intently at a few words on the screen, her nostrils flared, and she spoke aggressively: "You brat, who is your idol's ex-boyfriend? When did you start dating?"
Xu Niancheng was scared half to death.
She turned around and jumped up, calling out, "Big brother, second brother!"
Xu Qingyan's tone was relatively gentle, but her expression wasn't much better: "Chengcheng, you're in love? How is he treating you? Have you been bullied?"
Damn it, how could I forget about them?
But that happened a long time ago, and there's nothing they can do if Xu Niancheng denies it, since there's no evidence anyway.
Xu Niancheng steadied herself and shook her head innocently: "The marketing accounts made it up. I swear I've never been in a relationship. I've never even held a man's hand."
Her twin brother, He Nianzhu, scanned her face inch by inch with his sharp gaze.
Xu Niancheng greeted him calmly.
After a while, He Nianzhu, who hadn't noticed anything suspicious, relaxed his shoulders and adjusted his expression: "It's good that you didn't talk. Remember my and my brother's advice: there aren't many good men. Before my brother and I find you someone, don't be bewitched by those stinky men."
“Especially among the beauties in the entertainment industry,” He Nianzhu said with deep feeling. “Good men like your brother are extremely rare.”
Xu Niancheng sat back down and let out a silent sigh of relief.
If it weren't for his handsome face, she would definitely have called the police. Look at the way he's praising himself to the skies, what a narcissist.
The three siblings' experiences were remarkably similar, and marketing accounts took them out of context, exaggerating their premarital pregnancies and providing detailed and seemingly plausible analyses.
But no matter how wildly imaginative or daring they were, they could never have guessed that the truth was more bizarre than they imagined.
After the drug for treating leukemia was launched, demand far exceeded supply. Medical experts from all over the world flocked to Earth seeking cooperation, hoping to exchange information about the origin and composition of the miraculous substances in the drug.
Lan Xing politely declined with a smile.
They will not reveal a single thing about the source of the extracted substance until Xu Yirou turns eighteen.
Just as the internet was abuzz with speculation and heated discussions, a strange story from Earth ignited social media, drawing global attention to the planet.
Breaking News! Streamer Tian Chengcheng, with 20 million followers, is suspected of giving birth out of wedlock!
[Sweet Orange [Forwarded]: That's my mom!]
Xu Niancheng responded in the morning, but the news broke in the afternoon. The reason was simple: not only did her fans and netizens unanimously believe that she was joking, but her account had also been hacked, so she responded blindly.
In the afternoon, He Nianzhu, who has 90 million followers on Weibo, actually reposted the rumor from three years ago that allegedly claimed she had given birth to a child out of wedlock.
Breaking News! Top actor He Nianzhu is suspected of secretly marrying and having a daughter!
[He Nianzhu [forwarded]: That's my mom!]
The fans who rushed over upon hearing the news were stunned, and in their astonishment, they slowly typed out a question mark.
【ah? 】
【What's the meaning of this?】
[What kind of weird collaboration is this? Are the younger brother and Sweet Orange (a popular livestreamer) close? Has the younger brother been to her livestream? Am I suffering from amnesia or something?!]
[…Wait, did I time travel? I remember the pictures the marketing accounts posted back then were of chubby girls, all chubby and cute, and suddenly they've been promoted again after three years? Holy crap, that's faster than my promotion! I'll take this opportunity to bask in their glory!]
[Playing with abstract concepts, huh? Man, I declare you've successfully caught my attention. My eyesight and head are clear now, hahaha.]
That wasn't all. Xu Qingyan, who only resurrects himself on Jiang Yan's and his daughter's birthdays each year, posted the same update for the first time ever.
[Breaking News! The heir of a well-known tycoon is secretly married and has an illegitimate daughter; the mother is unknown. His actress girlfriend is suspected of being the other woman!]
[Xu Qingyan [forwarded]: That's my mom.]
Jiang Yan quickly followed up by reposting: 【That's my mother-in-law.】
One person went crazy, and then another big shot started acting crazy one after another. The previously lighthearted and humorous atmosphere suddenly changed.
What are you guys talking about? This sounds like there's some juicy gossip going on!!!
[@GossipGirl, it's your turn! You have half an hour to cut up the melon and put it on my table!]
[Wait a minute, hasn't anyone noticed the key point? Let's assume they all have the same mother... then wouldn't the livestreaming e-commerce host, Tian Chengcheng, be the He family's daughter? Holy crap! She's that Xiao Bao!!!]
[The person upstairs is incredibly oblivious; these marketing accounts were already up to something, and Sweet Orange's background has been thoroughly investigated.]
Netizens were scratching their heads and jumping around, begging for a follow-up, and they actually managed to get one.
But what followed was just too damn ridiculous and absurd!
About three years ago, something inexplicable happened to our biological mother, Ms. Xu Yirou, who was 45 years old and seriously ill. Overnight, she reverted to the appearance of a four-year-old, with her mind and behavior returning to that of a child. She is the chubby baby you all know.
