Chapter 116
Xu Yirou slept until she naturally woke up, and the well-rested baby was refreshed and energetic.
She nimbly flipped off the sofa, picked up the remote control, and prepared to turn on the TV.
The huge black screen shone like a mirror, clearly reflecting the tiny figure of the cub.
The small figure on the screen paused for a moment, and Xu Yirou tiptoed closer, staring intently at the screen.
The next second, he jumped three feet high.
"ah!"
What is that?
"My eyes have turned into black donuts!"
Xu Yirou wasn't even wearing shoes; she ran downstairs barefoot, screaming and yelling.
Ta-da!
The cries of the cubs were as piercing as an alarm, and the employees downstairs, thinking something had happened, all stopped what they were doing.
Xu Niancheng came out of the sample room.
"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, help!" Xu Yirou stumbled and fell into her daughter's arms, shouting incoherently, "I've turned into a black donut!"
Xu Niancheng groaned softly.
She hugged the cub's mother back, squatted down, and reached out her hand in confusion: "What black donut? What happened?"
Xu Yirou buried her face in her daughter's arms and sobbed.
"Your Highness, please look up so I can see you."
Xu Niancheng cupped the baby's mother's face in her hands.
Two large dark circles hung on her porcelain-white face, and the four-year-old little dumpling had tears in her eyes, which made her look unusually cute.
Not funny at all, but super cute!
Xu Niancheng suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth, her almond-shaped eyes widening in disbelief as she exclaimed, "My goodness, Your Highness, how come you have panda eyes after waking up? Oh dear, they're so dark!"
The intern who witnessed the whole process of how she got panda eyes: I'll just quietly watch you perform.
The employees who noticed something were already laughing so hard they were doubled over.
Xu Yirou's whole body turned as red as a ripe shrimp.
With a mournful face, she said, "I don't know! I woke up like this, Xiao Bao. Am I going to go blind?"
She raised her hand to rub her eyes, but Xu Niancheng stopped her: "Don't touch them, it might hurt and make it worse."
"I won't touch it, I won't touch it." Xu Yirou's little hands didn't know what to do, and she pouted helplessly. "Xiaobao, what should I do? I don't want to become a little blind person."
Xu Niancheng changed position to block the onlookers' gazes, then picked up the cub's mother with one hand: "Don't worry, I have a way, I won't let you become a little blind."
Xu Yirou hugged her daughter's neck tightly, her soft, chubby face pressed firmly against her.
Xu Niancheng pushed open the office door and placed the cub's mother on the table.
With a serious expression, she pried open the baby's eyelids to take a look, then took a picture, pretended to call her doctor friend, and together they put on a show.
The conclusion was: "Children who don't like doing homework, love eating snacks, and love watching TV are prone to developing panda eyes, and if these habits aren't corrected in time, the consequences will be even more serious."
Xu Niancheng nodded seriously and turned to ask, "Your Highness, did you understand what the doctor said?"
Xu Yirou pinched her little tuft of hair in annoyance, filled with regret and trepidation: "I understand now, but is it too late for me to do my homework? Will I be ugly for the rest of my life?"
Although it's puzzling why eating snacks causes eye problems instead of mouth problems, for a cub, the doctor's words are like a sacred decree.
Even the most unreasonable conclusions are reasonable.
With school starting soon, this little guy with five million followers naturally has an idol image to maintain.
If the kids saw her with such big dark circles under her eyes, they would definitely laugh at her.
She didn't want to be laughed at by the other children.
"Reduce your TV time and do your homework properly, and your dark circles will gradually disappear."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yirou jumped off the table as if she had been injected with chicken blood, muttering, "I want to do my homework! I love doing homework!"
"The homework is here."
Xu Niancheng took out her homework from her small schoolbag: "Mom, you can do your homework in my office. Leave any parts you don't understand blank for now, and I'll teach you when I'm done."
Xu Yirou's enthusiasm for doing homework has reached an unprecedented level.
She took the workbook as if it were a treasure, waving her chubby little hands: "Okay, you go on now, Mommy has to do her homework, Mommy is very busy."
The little boy climbed onto the chair with his short legs, opened his workbook, and buried himself in reading the questions.
Xu Niancheng leaned on the wooden table with one hand, lowered her eyes, curled her lips, and ruffled her hair: "Mom, I'm leaving now."
The little dumpling didn't even lift its head.
Time slips away, bit by bit.
A four-year-old has a limited attention span, and it's common for him to write while playing, so he barely writes a few words in half a day.
Xu Yirou rested her chin on her hands, gazing outside through the one-way glass, her thick eyelashes fluttering, and her clear eyes sparkling with curiosity.
The office door opened a crack, and a small figure slid out.
Today is a special event for a major cosmetics brand, and the live broadcast room is filled with boxes of samples piled up like mountains.
Xu Yirou crouched down, her big, dark eyes peering out.
"Babies, the new spring lipstick from Nine Deer is super smooth and not drying, it doesn't accentuate lip lines and doesn't fade. The one I have is 002 Jam color, which has a slight orange undertone. A light application makes your skin look fair and pure, while a heavy application gives you a powerful, leading lady vibe."
"I'll try it on now and show you how it looks."
Xu Niancheng, sitting in front of the camera, had exquisite makeup and a sweet smile. She skillfully tried on colors again and again, while several staff members around her were on high alert, each performing their duties.
From a distance, Xu Niancheng looks like a sun surrounded by stars, small yet dazzling.
When Xu Yirou first saw her daughter in her work mode, she felt both unfamiliar and excited, and couldn't help but want to get closer.
The little glutinous rice balls tiptoed around.
Xu Niancheng was completely focused and passionately explaining the products, unaware that her little dumpling's mother had sneaked up behind her.
A pair of chubby little hands suddenly hugged her.
Xu Niancheng shuddered and jumped up, her face pale: "Oh my god!"
Viewers who are grabbing discounted lipsticks: What's going on?
"Huh?"
The soft, sweet voice was like a mousse cake sprinkled with fruit: "Baby, how did you know it was me? I didn't even make a sound."
Hearing that soft, gentle call, Xu Niancheng patted her chest with lingering fear.
She lowered her head and pinched the culprit's cheek: "You almost scared me to death."
Xu Yirou immediately became nervous and gently stroked her daughter in a way that would soothe a child: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mommy will let my precious baby touch you."
Who is Orange talking to?
[Hmm, that sounds like a child's voice.]
[Haha, what an adorable baby! His name is "Mama"!]
【Oh my gosh~ Darling baby, could that be Orange's nickname?】
Xu Niancheng didn't forget that she was still live streaming. She glanced at the rapidly scrolling comments and decided to play along.
She bent down and said softly, "Mommy, I'm still working. Can you go play over there for a while?"
The live broadcast platform was very high, and viewers could only see two small pigtails and a pair of faintly curved eyebrows.
"Hmm."
"My darling, I'm hungry." Xu Yirou blushed and shyly took her daughter's hand. "I want to eat that."
Xu Niancheng followed her gaze and saw the macadamia nuts she had brought to replenish her energy. She smiled and opened a bag, and instantly the aroma of milk filled the air.
The little dumpling's expression suddenly lit up, and its nose twitched: "It smells so good!"
"Here, take this and eat it."
"Uh-huh!"
Is there anything else you'd like to eat?
Xu Yirou held the snack bag in her soft, white hands, her eyes sparkling: "No more, no more! This fragrant fruit is delicious enough!"
I saw the packaging; it looks like macadamia nuts from the Good Taste brand.
[@GoodTaste, send the money.]
[Oh, is this a product placement during the show?]
Does anyone else feel like they've heard their mom's/baby's voice sound familiar? Like they've heard it somewhere before.
[+1, I've been thinking about that too.]
Not all children in the world have such a sweet, adorable voice.
Xu Niancheng dismissed the cub's mother with a bag of macadamia nuts, and the live stream continued.
A barrage of questions about the little incident just now flooded the comments section. As she applied lipstick, she smiled and said, "That's my child. Kindergarten hasn't started yet, so I'm taking care of him for a few days."
"It's definitely not my child."
—She gave birth to me.
“It’s so cute to have a nickname like ‘Mommy’, it’s easy to remember and says.”
"I won't date before I'm thirty."
[Got it, skipping dating and marriage, right? Just kidding.]
Xu Niancheng raised an eyebrow and chuckled, her rebellious demeanor strikingly similar to that of her brother He Nianzhu: "I'll go straight to Father and Son."
【？】
What kind of queenly behavior is this?!
[You're a big streamer, with so many people watching your live stream. Don't you think before you speak? What you're saying not only misleads young girls but also hurts your family. That's so selfish.]
The person who posted this negative comment was afraid that Xu Niancheng wouldn't see it, so they kept spamming the screen.
Upon seeing this negative comment, Xu Niancheng chuckled: "Sorry to disappoint you, my elders not only support me not dating before I turn thirty, but also strongly support leaving my father and keeping my son. They've already prepared the money for a house and a car. Marriage and men are not necessities for me."
She said seriously, "Sisters, are you envious of me? If you are, then work hard to make money. Men may betray you, but money won't."
She can play with them like dogs, as long as she wants.
Xu Niancheng: "Looking across the entire platform, is there any live-streaming e-commerce room with more positive energy than mine?"
[As expected of the only streamer I follow! So cool and hot!]
[Shut up, you haters! My sister is an officially certified positive role model streamer! You can't smear her with your nonsense!]
In the office just a wall away, the junior intern was dutifully acting as a temporary babysitter, cracking open fruit with a clatter.
Hsu Yi-rou ate macadamia nuts one after another, her face beaming with sweetness.
The small bag of fruit was devoured in no time, and the little glutton licked his lips.
The intern understood immediately: "Meatball, wait a minute, I'll go get another bag."
That bag of snacks was a sample sent by the brand; there are several boxes left in the warehouse, far more than we can eat.
"No need~" Xu Yirou called out to her, a sweet smile on her round face, "Eating too many snacks is bad for your eyes, I should do my homework."
Her sensible words impressed the intern who was initially indifferent to cubs.
If even half of these unruly kids on the high-speed train had any self-awareness, they wouldn't want to kick them into the trash can.
The intern gently stayed by the cub's side.
Xu Yirou carefully wrote two arithmetic problems, but her mind wandered outside again.
He'd either scratch his face or bite his pen.
Just as the intern was about to ask if she was having any problems, the little dumpling grabbed her homework and ran out.
Its short legs ran at lightning speed, impossible to catch.
My precious baby!
Everyone in the live stream was stunned.
Xu Niancheng stopped again: "What's wrong, Mom?"
"I don't know how to do this problem..."
Hsu Yi-jou: "What is 23 - 7? Can I use a calculator?"
"No, that won't work." Xu Niancheng patiently guided her, "Use the method I taught you before to calculate it."
As she spoke, she glanced at the homework book. One, two, three, four, five. An hour had passed and her mother had only done five questions.
She's slacking off even more than she did when she was a kid...
"Mom, the afternoon has almost passed, and your homework is still quite clean."
"That's a must!"
The little dumpling, oblivious to the implied meaning, proudly puffed out its chest and said with great enthusiasm:
"I'm the cleanest little mushroom in Mushroom Class. My little feet smell so good, you can smell it if you don't believe me!"
Xu Niancheng: ...
The staff member next to him slapped his thigh and burst into laughter.
The viewers in the live chat were also laughing and spamming the screen.
Let me see what this cute little mushroom looks like!
"Really? I don't believe it, unless Little Mushroom comes to Auntie's house and lets Auntie smell Little Mushroom's little paws."
[Hey lady, don't be impulsive! Even though your little one doesn't have athlete's foot, their feet might smell a bit sticky! Don't ask me how I know, my two-month-old daughter smells just like that TAT]
Back to the main topic, Xu Niancheng took the workbook and pencil and scribbled: "Mom, have you forgotten how to do arithmetic? It's okay, I'll teach you again."
"No, no."
Little Dumpling's mother explained earnestly, "I haven't forgotten."
"It's just that I accidentally ate my own cleverness."
Wow, human babies have their own language system! Their innocent and adorable speech is so cute!
[Waaaaah, I've learned something new! From now on, if I'm late for work, I'll just tell my boss the sun was eaten by the moon, so it's not my fault for being late. lol emoji]
[Chengbao is so gentle and patient! She'll definitely be a great mom in the future.]
[Sure enough, other people's kids are always better!]
[Help! Isn't this a live-streaming sales event? Hurry up and give away freebies!]
Xu Niancheng could tell that her mother didn't want to do her homework. Since the inventory was almost sold out anyway, she simply let her mother sit aside and play.
"Nine-Colored Deer Spring Lipstick Set Gift Box, six full-size lipsticks covering all the main shades, plus three trial sizes and a bottle of Nine-Colored Deer White Tea Perfume, special price 1699!"
The moment the link went live, 10,000 gift boxes in stock sold out in a second.
It's common for products to sell out in seconds, and those who missed out complain bitterly, clamoring for the link to be re-uploaded.
Just as Xu Niancheng was about to explain the next product, she suddenly noticed that the profile picture occupying the top spot on the leaderboard looked very familiar.
Then check the transaction information in the backend.
"..."
"Big brother!"
Why would you buy 10,000 lipstick sets by yourself?
"Are you going to be used as a brick? To build a house?"
If it weren't for the irrefutable evidence, Xu Niancheng would never have imagined that her older brother, Xu Qingyan, who was on his honeymoon abroad, would silently buy out 10,000 lipstick sets in her live stream.
Xu Qingyan remained remarkably calm after being caught by his sister: "I'll go home early and rest."
Xu Niancheng: ...
Thank you.
The screen was filled with comments: 【???】
Little Yangyang eating tangyuan: [Where did this rich guy come from! Can he give me one? I didn't get one, *crying*.]
Xu Qingyan: [@Xiaoyangyang eating tangyuan, address.]
[You really sent it to me?! Holy crap, thanks bro! Please check your private messages!]
[Big brother, big brother, I didn't get one either, sob sob.]
Xu Qingyan: [Ten thousand spots available, first come, first served.]
The live stream went wild, and Xu Niancheng sighed in exasperation, quickly finishing the last item and ending the broadcast.
Xu Niancheng has 20 million followers, making her a well-deserved top streamer.
A generous customer suddenly appeared in the live stream and bought out 10,000 items. The customer then showered the live stream with gifts, causing the live stream's popularity to skyrocket. This extraordinary event quickly became a trending topic.
Xu Qingyan is using a newly registered account with 0 followers and 0 following, so no useful information can be found.
Netizens suspect that this was a publicity stunt orchestrated by Xu Niancheng to boost her popularity.
Only the people in Xu Niancheng's studio knew that the truth was far more dramatic than they had guessed.
Who else but that CEO could make the young lady call him "Big Brother"?!
Everyone who was experiencing firsthand just how domineering the CEO was grinned from ear to ear.
When she returned home that evening, Uncle Yun, who was waiting at the door, was extremely surprised to see Xu Yirou's dark circles under her eyes.
"Madam, what...what's wrong with your eyes? Have you seen a doctor?"
Xu Yirou shyly hid behind Xu Niancheng and replied in a muffled voice, "I've seen a doctor. It's all my fault for watching too much TV. I'll watch less TV in the future."
Uncle Yun was puzzled. How many all-nighters must one have stayed up to get such dark circles under their eyes? He hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopped himself.
Xu Niancheng gave Uncle Yun a wink: "It's okay, Mom. As long as we follow the doctor's orders, we'll get better soon."
Uncle Yun understood immediately and put on a smile again: "Then I'll instruct the kitchen to prepare a few dishes tonight that will help restore eye health."
The old man and the young man worked together seamlessly, and Xu Yirou had no doubts whatsoever.
Xu Yirou didn't watch TV that night and went to bed early. The next day, she opened her eyes and ran to the mirror full of anticipation.
Her enormous black eyes vanished without a trace, and she transformed back into that soft, sweet-smelling cub.
Xu Yirou went to work with her daughter for a week, during which various funny little incidents occurred, and finally the kindergarten reopening notice was received.
Xu Niancheng rushed to deliver the cub's mother.
Thank goodness, if school hadn't started soon, her secret would have been exposed!
