Chapter 57
As soon as she finished speaking, Yangyang, who understood what she was saying, raised her head, and her pretty oval face entered the frame.
Her tiny, white eyelashes fluttered, giving the miserable viewers at 8 a super cute wink.
[Alright, alright, this humble gentleman will temporarily overlook your drool. A cute alpaca has the best life, lol emoji.]
Xu Yirou, carrying a bowl of yogurt, called out to Yangyang, "Meimei has already started eating breakfast. Yangyang, if you don't come over soon, Meimei will take yours after she finishes eating, and I won't care anymore!"
Yangyang's four little hooves stomped fast, its plump, round bottom facing the audience, as it ran off to eat.
A new day of recording has begun.
There wasn't enough food in the refrigerator for lunch, so after breakfast, He Nianzhu planned to take Xu Yirou to the supermarket to buy groceries.
He Nianzhu originally planned to stay at home, but now there are food delivery apps everywhere, and the food can be delivered to her door within half an hour of placing an order.
Director Chang Yi immediately had an idea when he learned about his plans for the day. So he discussed with him early in the morning about going out to shoot on a different map. Today was the first day of the premiere of "Our Trip", and they needed to have some extra highlights to maintain the ratings.
Despite her recklessness, He Nianzhu still possessed basic professional ethics and understood priorities, so she agreed without much hesitation.
"Grandma, after we finish eating, we'll go out to buy groceries. You can decide what you want to eat first."
The cub's eyes lit up, and its mouth watered instantly. While eating what was in its bowl, it was already thinking about what was in the pot: "I want to eat spicy crayfish, or Erbao, let's have hot pot!"
Xu Yirou couldn't remember the last time she had hot pot, and she was craving it right now.
There are many choices for hot pot broth, and he can make a non-spicy one: "Okay, then let's have hot pot for lunch."
Xu Yirou finished her breakfast in a whirlwind and waited expectantly at the entrance.
The outside temperature was 34 degrees Celsius. Without sun protection, one would definitely get sunburned. Xu Yirou's exposed skin was covered with sunscreen by He Nianzhu.
The mother and son were fully armed. He Nianzhu carried her mother's decorative bag on her back, held a water bottle and an umbrella in one hand, and led the baby's mother out the door with the other.
The moment I stepped outside, the scorching sun beat down on my skin, and the oxygen I inhaled was burning hot. It wasn't painful, but it made me feel irritable and restless.
Standing under the sun umbrella was alright, as it helped to dispel some of the stuffiness, but the cameraman who followed them the whole time didn't get such good treatment.
The supermarket was just across the street, a few hundred meters away. He Nianzhu was too lazy to drive, but now she regretted it.
Less than two minutes after they came out, the mother cub was covered in sweat and her cheeks were flushed, which made him feel sorry for her.
He unscrewed the kettle and held it to Xu Yirou's lips, and a cool breeze carrying a delicate fragrance blew out.
—It smells like chilled bayberry juice.
The cub tilted its head back, hugged the water bottle, and gulped down two mouthfuls. Satisfied, it squinted its eyes and wiped its mouth, saying, "Second baby, you drink too."
He Nianzhu wasn't thirsty. The conditions for filming period dramas in Hengdian during the summer were much harsher than they are now, but he still persevered without even blinking.
The sun's rays are nothing to him now.
As the mother and child entered the supermarket, the heat around them was dispelled by the cool air conditioning. They strolled from the fruit and vegetable section to the seafood section.
He Nianzhu went out in a grand manner, without wearing sunglasses or a hat, and was recognized on the street. Many fans who lived nearby were also on their way to the live broadcast room.
As the mother and son were shopping, a crowd gradually gathered around them. They watched with excitement and joy without disturbing them.
Xu Yirou wasn't shy; she knew those people were Erbao's fans, just like the older sister she met at KFC that day who loved Erbao.
She would occasionally turn around and smile at the crowd.
Those sweet and adorable dimples effortlessly captivated a large group of people, and the flashbulbs kept going off.
When she was about to check out at the self-service checkout, Xu Yirou suddenly turned around and ran to the refrigerator to get a bottle of yogurt.
Waiting eagerly for her son to finish paying, Xu Yirou impatiently rummaged through the bag and pulled out the bottle of yogurt. Standing on tiptoe and with her head held high, she said, "Uncle, here you go!"
Photographer Xiao Chen was taken aback.
He asked naively, "For me?"
“Yes.” The little girl’s bright, glass-like eyes reflected his astonished expression: “It’s too hot outside. You don’t have an umbrella or any water. You could easily faint from the heat.”
She wanted to say heatstroke, but forgot how to say it.
The comments section was full of praise: [What are you waiting for? Hurry up! Click! Answer! Ah!]
[Such a sweet little girl! Girls really are all like little angels, unlike the Xia Chuan brothers next door who do whatever they want. They've been filming for so long and haven't given the staff a single smile, like someone owes them five million.]
They're all from the same show, so please don't compare them and cause trouble for the younger brother and the chubby guy.
[Only fans have a soft spot for He Nianzhu. Even a young child knows to buy a bottle of water for the photographer, but He Nianzhu is completely indifferent. That's really cold-blooded.]
[Hey, Shenjin, you mean both the younger brother and Rou Rou have to buy a bottle of water for the photographer? If only one person buys it, the other is heartless? Those haters are disgusting!]
The production team had given instructions on what not to accept from the guests, but who could bear to refuse such a cute and adorable girl?
The newly arrived photographer, Xiao Chen, was deeply moved by the baby and decided to take even better photos of the chubby little one. So far, he has only captured one-tenth of her cuteness!
The mother and son came out after buying groceries, and the scorching sun shone on them again. Just then—
"Woof woof woof!"
The loud, clear barking of a dog grew louder as it approached, and in the blink of an eye, a sturdy, agile figure darted out from around the corner.
The moment the dog barked, He Nianzhu shuddered reflexively, her feet rooted to the spot, her pale eyes trembling slightly with panic.
A husky with fluffy, shiny fur, a majestic and imposing size, and bright blue almond-shaped eyes barged into Xu Yirou's field of vision. It was panting heavily, its tongue lolling out, looking rather dim-witted, and stopped in front of her.
A dog and two people stared at each other, wide-eyed.
He Nianzhu was terrified. He was afraid of nothing but dogs and his brother!
The husky tilted its head, its watery eyes full of wisdom, and took two steps forward with its paws.
He Nianzhu: !! Danger!
He grabbed the mother cub and pulled her behind him, his legs trembling as he stood in front of her.
Huh? I get it.
That big two-legged creature is shameless! In order to please it, get close to it, and gain its favor, it pushed the little two-legged creature to the back. How insidious!
Well, who can blame us for calling him a majestic, handsome, and charming husky?
Its owner keeps the doors and windows tightly shut every day to prevent it from venturing out and showing off its charms, which is really suffocating the dog.
It finally managed to sneak out to play while its owner wasn't looking, but unexpectedly, it charmed two other two-legged creatures.
Husky: "Woof woof woof! I'll give you a chance to pet me."
He Nianzhu, still shaken, cried out, "Don't come any closer!"
"Woof woof woof!" Hurry up, you stupid two-legged beast!
He Nianzhu, wearing a mask of pain, retreated repeatedly.
He dared not run, for the dog would chase him if he did.
[Uh, He Nianzhu is afraid of dogs? A grown man being afraid of dogs, hahaha!]
This husky probably belongs to someone nearby; it still has a leash around its neck, so it probably sneaked out.
[I'm dying of laughter at the husky's expression. That deadpan look is exactly like my unruly son! I bet it's begging for a pat!]
The man and the dog remained locked in this stalemate for a minute, their words clashing and seemingly unrelated.
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Xu Yirou peeked out from behind her son's long legs: "Doggy, are you lost?"
She loves small animals. Excluding certain extraordinary species, she gets an 80 out of 100 for dogs and a 100 out of 100 for giant pandas.
He Nianzhu quickly pressed the cub's mother's head back down.
"Erbao, don't be afraid, Grandma will protect you." Xu Yirou patted her chest and walked out, squatting down and beckoning, looking as cute as a little mushroom: "Doggy, come here, are you thirsty? Are you hungry?"
The husky wagged its tail, raised its dog face, and ran off.
"My dear little aunt!" He Nianzhu hurriedly reached out to stop it, "Be careful it doesn't bite! Even if it doesn't bite, it has bacteria on it, it's very unsafe."
“It won’t.” Xu Yirou’s little hand was already on Er Gou, happily rubbing it. “Er Bao, it smells nice, its fur is soft and it’s very clean. You can touch it if you don’t believe me.”
The husky seemed to know that He Nianzhu hadn't said anything nice, so it defiantly snorted at him.
[Look at the husky!! Holy crap, my little brother is being looked down upon by the husky, hahaha.]
He Nianzhu remained on guard, craning his neck and looking around, but did not find any target who resembled the husky's owner.
It was determined that the silly dog either got lost or ran away.
"Grandma, forget about it, we should go back." He Nianzhu urged repeatedly, afraid that Xu Yirou might suddenly decide to take the silly dog home, and then he would be doomed.
"Erbao, don't worry, we should help it find its owner." Xu Yirou instructed him to get water and food, and murmured softly, "Poor little dog, you must be starving."
ha?
Little puppy?
He Nianzhu, with his indifferent face, was utterly speechless; the fat dog weighed at least a hundred pounds.
[Haha, the little brother's expression says it all.]
Reluctantly, He Nianzhu rummaged through the shopping bag and found a bottle of mineral water and a box of Australian beef. With a cold expression, she unscrewed the bottle cap, tore open the beef packaging, and fed it to the husky.
The Siberian Husky, a dog known for its shrewishness, accepted everything offered. After showing off a box of premium beef, it wagged its big tail and stared at him with a gleeful grin, licking its lips as if it hadn't had enough.
"That's it." He Nianzhu said, then pulled up the cub's mother. "Grandma, it's eaten and drunk its fill. Can we leave now that our mission is complete?"
Xu Yirou shook her head, stroking the dog's head with affection: "Erbao, I need to help it find its owner, otherwise it will be kidnapped by bad people."
He Nianzhu: "Given that the husky is a breed with questionable intelligence, it is indeed possible."
It dares to flaunt food given by strangers, and it's always a dish in dog meat restaurants.
"Alright, the police station is nearby, we'll take it there."
[Hey, maybe this husky will even get a permanent position; it's not like there's no precedent for it.]
[okk, in my next life I hope I can be reborn as a husky, so I don't have to suffer through the night studying and praying to Buddha for salvation, sob sob.]
Despite her fear, He Nianzhu calmly gripped the leash around the husky's neck and headed towards the police station.
"Awoo!"
Let go of the dog!
The husky stubbornly struggled to break free, wanting to be a free and unrestrained dog, with many other two-legged creatures waiting for it to share its affections!
The husky is known as a "maniac," and when He Nianzhu saw it acting crazy, she didn't know whether she should let go of it.
"What's going on?" Xu Yirou asked, bewildered. "Doggy, what's wrong? We'll take you to the police. The police will help you find your owner. Don't be scared."
"Awoo awoo—" It's time to kill the dog.
He Nianzhu's head was throbbing from the barking of the dogs, and she thought she might as well not let go.
A large group of dark figures moved quickly towards them from a distance, their chaotic footsteps mingling with the clattering sounds of phones taking pictures.
"Li Erniu!"
"Li Erniu, don't hide over there and stay silent, I know you're here!"
He Nianzhu & Xu Yirou: ?
The husky screamed wildly: "Oh no! The dog killers are here!!!"
Xu Yirou looked around in confusion, but the comments section had already given the answer.
[Am I seeing things? That looks like Li Ranran and her younger sister, Xiaoyueliang?]
[Just came from Li Ranran's live stream. It really was those two sisters. They were looking for their stray dog, and it looks like this one!]
[Pfft, the husky's name is Li Erniu? Hahahaha, that's so down-to-earth!]
