Chapter 53
Lanlan's rummaging through drawers and closets looking for cool clothes filled the live stream with a cheerful atmosphere.
Even a child knows to dress up and present themselves properly before going on a date with a girl. How do some men manage to go on a blind date with a greasy face and still call themselves manly? They're all just trying to make themselves look good.
[The lady in the front row ordered.]
[Lanlan is so polite, she has great upbringing!]
Qin Yu looked at Lan Lan, who was extremely busy, and hesitated to speak. He touched the back of his neck, realizing that his connections were not as good as his little nephew's.
Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "Lanlan, how do you know Rou Rou?"
“Meatball is my little partner,” Lanlan answered in a moment, her eyes shining. “We’ve taken so many photos together.”
Qin Yu knew that Lanlan worked part-time as a child model, and combined with his answer, he immediately understood.
The baby's schedule is even fuller than his; I'm so envious!
What? What are you two, uncle and nephew, playing games with?
"Uncle, I want to wash my hair!" Lanlan thought about how her mother always washed her hair before going out, and the little girl pleaded, "Uncle, can you wash my hair for me?"
Lanlan can take a bath by herself, but she can't wash her hair by herself, so she needs her uncle Qin Yu's help.
Qin Yu was forced into this situation and hurriedly pulled out relevant parenting video tutorials to learn from, carefully rubbing the baby's delicate scalp.
On the other side, Xu Yirou was directing He Nianzhu to wash fruit and prepare snacks to entertain her upcoming little guest.
He Nianzhu had never picked up or dropped off the baby's mother at school, but with his biased view of her as his own son, he was certain that the mother must be very popular at kindergarten.
She's been in kindergarten for over two months, and I haven't heard of her getting along well with any boys or inviting any boys over.
This made He Nianzhu, a doting mother, cautious. While doing her work, she subtly probed Xu Yirou's feelings for Lanlan.
"Grandma, if Lanlan and I both fell into the water, who would you save?"
ah?
The mother cub was completely bewildered.
【？】
[Little brother, the smell of jealousy has even reached our Northwest!]
[I'm currently in Inner Mongolia, and I'm typing away, holding my nose.]
[This question can be phrased like this? Huh? Hahaha]
Xu Yirou stood on tiptoe and touched her son's forehead with the back of her hand: "You don't have a fever, Erbao, what's wrong?"
"Grandma, I'm not sick." Even with her thick skin, He Nianzhu couldn't be coquettish in front of a bunch of fans, so she deliberately said stiffly, "I'm just asking, answer me."
Xu Yirou frowned and then relaxed her eyebrows: "Oh, so you were being naughty."
He unintentionally uttered a witty remark, which caused a burst of laughter in the barrage of comments. The related hashtags #HeNianzhuIsMischievous# and #IfIAndLanlanFellIntoTheWaterAtTheSameTimeYouWouldYouSaveWho# simultaneously went viral, making surfing enthusiasts laugh.
"Sigh, I really don't know what to do with you." Xu Yirou sighed in an old-fashioned manner. "Erbao, how could you come up with such a question? I'm a four-year-old baby, and you're so big. How can I possibly save you?"
"Although Lanlan is also a baby, he is taller and heavier than me, so there's no way to save him."
Xu Yirou answered clearly, "So, I had no choice but to call the police, and then Meimei and Yangyang cheered you on from the shore."
[I've checked it out! Textbook-level answer!]
[Meatball: Baby is just small, not stupid, understand?]
[Meimei Yangyang: (Looks up) What's that noise? (Chewing)]
Actually, as soon as He Nianzhu asked the question, he regretted it a little. He was such an idiot.
But his mother's answer made him very happy. Upon further reflection, he realized that his mother had only asked him to prepare food, and hadn't been acting like a shy young girl getting ready for love.
He would definitely go crazy if that happened.
Upon receiving the news, Uncle Yun quickly sent someone to pick up Qin Yu and his nephew. The uncle and nephew lived far away, and the round trip would take two hours.
While waiting, Xu Yirou didn't stay idle. She smiled and repeatedly watched Kang Kang's videos on her tablet.
“Erbao, Kang Kang has grown up again, and his color has become darker.”
In the video, the little tiger Kang Kang is sleeping on his back with his paws dangling, as if he's having a sweet dream. His little whiskers are twitching, making him incredibly cute and adorable!
If you don't look closely, it's easy to mistake it for a big orange cat.
Since starting kindergarten, Xu Yirou has only been to the zoo a handful of times, mostly relying on videos and pictures sent by the zookeepers.
He Nianzhu fed her a peeled grape: "Little auntie, you want to see some?"
"I'm thinking about it. Kang Kang is growing up so fast (chewing). I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it anymore (chewing). The zookeeper said that I won't be able to kiss and hug it anymore when it turns one year old."
The cub visibly became depressed; it would be wonderful if I could hold Kang Kang and sleep with him every day.
Inside the He family's old residence, a cool breeze, unlike the sweltering summer, blows through the lush Chinese courtyard, while the pavilion nestled under the trees exudes the aroma of tea.
Wearing a long blue embroidered silk dress, Qiao Wen sat quietly in the pavilion. The sound of boiling tea mixed with the soft, sweet voice of the baby, creating an unexpected harmony.
After taking a sip of tea, Qiao Wen calmly instructed, "Old Zeng, go and do something for me."
Butler Zeng: "Madam, please give your instructions."
"Find a good factory to customize a life-size tiger cub figurine." Qiao Wen said calmly, "There is a tiger cub named Kang Kang in the Beijing Wildlife Park. You can arrange for a figurine to be made for each different stage from the first month after its birth to each month thereafter."
Some celebrity panda lifelike dolls cover different stages of panda appearance.
Qiao Wen wanted to emulate this method to record every stage of Kang Kang's growth.
"Yes, madam."
At first, Uncle Zeng didn't understand why Madam Qiao Wen suddenly started watching variety shows. Madam Qiao Wen liked quiet and had always disliked noisy and disruptive TV programs.
The old lady's unusual behavior puzzled him until he saw the young master on the program, and at that moment he suddenly understood.
It turns out that the old lady was concerned about the young master. After all these years, the old lady is finally willing to take the initiative to get close to the younger generation. That's wonderful.
only--
Uncle Zeng felt a little puzzled. Why did the old lady want to order a tiger figurine?
It seems that the one who likes the little tiger is not the young master, but the little baby who participated in the variety show with the young master. Is that little baby a child actor that the young master found?
Why do they keep calling him "Young Master" and "Second Treasure"?
That's really strange.
Inside the luxurious presidential suite of a hotel in the remote city of C.
A little girl with curly hair, dressed in her practice clothes, sat on the bed, her cheeks puffed out, her small body tense as she stared intently at the large screen in front of her.
"Dad, I want to go home. When can we go home?"
"Don't you want to stay with Mom anymore?"
Since He Nianzhu fell and was injured, Xu Yirou has been staying with her son. Paopao was taken to Jiang Yan's side by Xu Qingyan, and the mother and daughter stayed in a hotel arranged by the crew.
Roughly speaking, it's been more than a month.
In other words, Bubble hadn't seen her great-grandmother Xu Yirou for over a month and missed her terribly, but she also couldn't bear to part with her mother Jiang Yan and planned to wait for her mother to finish filming so they could go home together.
When she learned that Xu Yirou was going to be on a variety show, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night. This way, even when she wasn't home, she could see what her great-grandmother was doing and whether she was happy.
However, when she saw Xu Yirou chatting with Lanlan and saying that she missed Lanlan, her granddaughter and best friend Bubble couldn't stand it.
Who is this Lanlan? Why have I never seen her before?
How could a little grandma think about other children!
Has she been gone for too long and her great-grandmother has forgotten about her?
Bubble pouted so hard it looked like it could hold two ounces of pork, and jumped off the bed to run to Xu Qingyan's side: "Daddy, my little grandma is going to be taken away by another child! I'm going to save grandma!"
Xu Qingyan's fingers slowly stopped typing, she glanced lightly at the big screen, and calmly looked away: "No, Bubble."
Bubble stamped her foot in frustration. Her possessiveness towards her grandmother made her very unhappy with her father's response, and she angrily asked:
"Dad, why are you so sure? What if Grandma really gets snatched away by another kid and won't play with me anymore?"
Xu Qingyan's eyes remained calm, but his expression was somewhat meaningful: "Because your uncle is there, he will keep a close eye on things."
Of the three siblings, the one most attached to their mother is undoubtedly the younger brother, He Nianzhu. He is the most rebellious yet also the most tender and sensitive, and the most obedient to his mother.
He would absolutely not allow his mother to find them a stepfather before she turned 18.
*
The doorbell rang, and He Nianzhu opened the door to find a large and a small person standing in front of her.
The little guy in front of me was wearing cool overalls, sunglasses, and his hair was styled into a small pompadour. He was both handsome and cute, with a shy yet bright smile.
He flashed a set of tiny, milky-white teeth: "Meatball."
Qin Yu, who was holding his hand, was extremely nervous.
He Nianzhu's lazy, indifferent gaze fell on him, so direct and undisguised that it sent chills down his spine.
Xu Yirou greeted them happily: "Lanlan, welcome to my home!"
"Thank you for the welcome, Rou Rou." Lan Lan responded bravely, blushing, and nudged Qin Yu. "This is my uncle. Uncle, please say hello to Rou Rou and Brother He Nianzhu."
Qin Yu, who was pushed forward by his nephew, stammered, "Rou Rou, He He Nian Zhu... Hello, I'm sorry to bother you."
[Oh my god, I can tell Qin Yu is so nervous even through the screen. Is he socially awkward?]
Qin Yu's performance was absolutely top-notch.
[Hahaha, there's no way around it, our little brother's aura is just too strong. It's hard not to go weak in the knees when he looks at you like that.]
"Not at all, not at all." Xu Yirou played the role of the little hostess with ease. "Erbao, Lanlan and his uncle are greeting you. You should respond too. Be polite."
He Nianzhu, with a sour face: ...
He obediently showed eight teeth and forced a smile: "Hello, I am Rou Rou's parent, welcome."
Lanlan, who had never experienced social anxiety, raised her head and said sincerely, "Brother Nianzhu, you are even more handsome than on TV, and you look much younger than my uncle."
Qin Yu: ……
What a nephew of his, he doesn't hold back at all when it comes to putting down his uncle.
He Nianzhu's eyes flickered, and her smile held a hint of sincerity: "Is that so?"
"Absolutely true!" Lanlan turned to look at her uncle. "Right, Uncle?"
Qin Yu said with a mix of resentment and helplessness, "Uncle is only two years older than your brother He, so it's normal for him to look a bit older."
"You're so young!" Xu Yirou knew how to reciprocate the compliment. "Uncle Lanlan is so handsome too."
That's true; Qin Yu is indeed a somewhat handsome but obscure celebrity.
[Something's not right. Why are these two kids just flattering each other?]
[Two e-human kids leading two i-human adults, this is hilarious!]
Lanlan presented a generous gift: "Rourou, this is a gift for you. I hope you like it."
The uncle, who was just a helper, handed over what he was carrying.
Xu Yirou was overjoyed when she saw it. It was a beautiful Barbie doll family, with a total of six Barbie dolls, three of which were different skin tones. The furniture was simple, and a quick glance revealed at least twenty or thirty sets of exquisitely made clothes.
Xu Yirou's bedroom has a large collection of dolls, including this set.
But it was a gift from a good friend, and its special meaning made her even happier.
He Nianzhu took everything in, thinking that the little man with the airplane haircut was quite good at coaxing girls, and it seemed that he had to be very careful in dealing with him.
Fruits and snacks were already prepared on the living room table. Xu Yirou led Qin Yu and Lanlan to their seats, while He Nianzhu was sent to pour water.
Qin Yu was restless, feeling as if the sofa beneath him was burning his bottom.
"Lanlan, these are all delicious snacks: chocolate, marshmallows, cookies, hazelnuts, lollipops. Eat whatever you want, don't be shy." Xu Yirou knew all the snacks in her house like the back of her hand. "I have many more delicious snacks at home, so don't worry about eating them all."
Lanlan kept in mind her uncle's instructions to be reserved and sat very properly on the sofa.
The uncle and nephew were sitting up straight. Xu Yirou tilted her head in confusion. Why was Lanlan still wearing sunglasses?
She leaned closer and asked, "Lanlan, what happened to your eyes? Are they damaged?"
Lanlan immediately lost her composure, shyly taking off her sunglasses and saying in a muffled voice, "They're not broken, it's just that the sun was too strong outside."
The live chat erupted in laughter, with viewers teasing him: "Hey, are you sure you're not just trying to look cool?"
Regardless of age, guys like to show off and impress the people they like.
I really want to show that video of Lanlan before she left to my baby, I wonder what her reaction will be.
I don't know how Rou Rou will react, but the younger brother might say: "That's fine, don't come again next time."
