Chapter 4 When you're traveling, you give yourself your own identity.
"Milk tea, you order."
"We'll split the bill for the meal."
"You have to accompany me to film videos, go shopping, and eat."
"Any objections or rebuttals will be rejected!"
Chao Xian sat on the sofa, counting on his fingers, and spoke seriously to Mu Ziyan sitting next to him.
Mu Ziyan just looked at him and spoke.
He rarely spoke and never argued back.
Chao Xian seemed to be able to see the meaning in Mu Ziyan's eyes.
"If you accept, give me an OK sign. If you don't accept, then I'll cook for you, but you can't eat it."
Chao Xian didn't feel like he was threatening anyone, and his self-righteous demeanor left Mu Ziyan speechless.
But these are all things that Mu Ziyan has already done.
So I can accept it.
Moreover...
The food was delicious!
When the assistant arrived at the villa in the afternoon, Chao Xian was sitting on the sofa watching a cooking video.
Chao Xian's uploaded videos went unnoticed, with only a handful of people watching them.
Of course, Chao Xian wanted to learn how others edited their videos.
Hearing the door open, Chao Xian turned around and saw his assistant and the people around him.
The assistant, remembering seeing Chao Xian at school, quickly nodded to him and then explained softly, "This is a mixed martial arts coach, invited by the young master."
Chao Xian nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's learn some key areas first, such as which areas are the most painful and least likely to leave marks. We can't just stay at home all day without going to school."
Hearing Chao Xian's complaining tone, the assistant could only smile.
I dare not refute it.
Who is the kind person who taught their child to hit others?
The assistant thought to himself.
He obediently glanced at the teacher next to him, indicating that he should take notes.
I also sent a copy to my boss.
What if the boss asks later who led the child astray?
But then it's not his place to take the blame.
Mu Ziyan knocked on the door and saw his assistant looking puzzled, tilting his head slightly.
The assistant forced a smile and pointed to the instructor next to him: "This is the martial arts instructor that President Mu invited for you. You will start learning from him from today. Of course, President Mu also said to be careful and not get hurt."
"Work hard these next two days and make the most of your time to practice. You'll be back in class in three days."
Chao Xian thought of this as he passed by and reminded Mu Ziyan.
Upon hearing this, the assistant fell silent, then forced an awkward smile: "That madam..."
The assistant was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Call me Mr. Chao."
Chao Xian wanted to refute it when she heard it at school last time, but she was in a hurry to leave then, and she also needed her assistant to clean up the mess later, so she didn't say anything.
“Mr. Chao, Mr. Mu’s idea is to make sure that the young master’s school is not good, and let him study at home for the time being. Of course, this will not disturb Mr. Chao’s rest.”
After the assistant finished speaking, he glanced at Chao Xian's expression.
Chao Xian remained silent.
He simply doesn't understand capitalists.
But such young children should go out and make friends.
Staying home all day can make you sick even if you don't feel well.
"Okay, that works too. Just don't bother me."
Chao Xian's tone was somewhat aloof, but he ultimately agreed.
Back in her room, Chao Xian walked to the sofa on the balcony and sat down.
The sun is shining brightly outside today.
It's quite rare to see this in April, a season when cold snaps are common.
Mu Ziyan was just getting to know the teacher today. The training area wasn't available yet, so there wasn't any extra training.
Chao Xian knocked on Mu Ziyan's door but couldn't find him.
Instead, they saw Mu Ziyan chatting with his assistant in the garden.
But it was mostly the assistants who were talking.
Mu Ziyan looked rather pitiful.
"Mu Ziyan, come shopping with me."
Chao Xian's voice was quite loud.
The assistant was about to say that Mu Ziyan didn't like going out.
But then I saw Mu Ziyan suddenly stand up from her seat.
It's incredibly fast.
It's a far cry from his usual self, who never even leaves his room.
The difference between Mu Ziyan in front of his assistant of several years and in front of his new stepmother is too great, isn't it?
Moreover, Chao Xian, the stepmother, is so different from when the assistant first met her.
The first time I saw Chao Xian, she looked like a delicate white flower.
Gentle and soft-spoken, delicate and frail.
It's easy to control.
But both at school and now, Chao Xian's decisive and authoritative style is somewhat similar to Mu Yunzhou's.
Even Mu Ziyan, who is usually not very talkative, seems to listen to Chao Xian's every word.
It should be noted that Mu Ziyan's attitude towards this stepmother was the same as that towards the other housekeepers in the family from the very beginning.
They will ignore it and won't approach it on their own initiative.
Not to mention how obediently she listens to Chao Xian's words.
Mu Ziyan had always only listened to Mu Yunzhou.
And now, there's one more person.
"Is there anything else?" Chao Xian asked his assistant.
The assistant had told Mu Ziyan about most of the things Mu Yunzhou had instructed him to do.
I just don't know if Mu Ziyan listened to that.
When Chao Xian asked, the assistant quickly shook his head: "No, it's nothing."
Chao Xian went out to buy photography equipment. The camera resolution of his mobile phone was still too low. Chao Xian looked at the cameras online, but he couldn't decide which one to choose.
Only then did he take Mu Ziyan out.
Chao Xian went out without wearing a mask, and he was constantly being stared at along the way.
Some even claimed to be talent scouts, wanting to help Asahi debut.
Chao Xian thought for a moment and then fell silent.
I don't know whether I should tell them that I'm now considered a minor celebrity.
They no longer need to debut.
Mu Ziyan assumed that Chao Xian was too embarrassed to speak up.
He stood directly in front of Chao Xian, his eyes coldly fixed on the so-called talent scout.
Until they had spotted the other person.
Then he turned to look at Chao Xian, as if seeking praise.
"I just haven't decided whether to tell them that I'm just an unknown nobody myself," Chao Xian shrugged.
There were an unusually large number of people in the mall today.
There were long queues at the milk tea shops.
Chao Xian originally intended to wait, but after a few minutes he became a little impatient.
My feet hurt, and I'm so tired.
I feel uncomfortable everywhere.
Mu Ziyan noticed that Chao Xian's expression was unpleasant, and he was getting colder and colder.
He pointed to the seat next to him, indicating that Chao Xian should go sit down and wait.
Chao Xian couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
So good!
Chao Xian was playing on his phone when an auntie who was resting after shopping sat next to him. The auntie couldn't take her eyes off Chao Xian's handsome face.
Especially those who are naturally outgoing and friendly.
"Young man, are you out shopping with your girlfriend? If you're out shopping with a girl, you can't just sit there by yourself..."
When he heard the sound, Chao Xian hadn't reacted yet, but the aunt next to him was speaking with a tone of advice and looking at him.
Chao Xian shook his head: "She's not my girlfriend. There are too many people buying milk tea, and I'm tired of queuing."
The aunt was a little puzzled. Who sits down after queuing up?
What about the people who queued up earlier?
Mu Ziyan was very quick; she brought the milk tea to find Chao Xian as if she was afraid Chao Xian would run off.
Like a worried little adult.
"So you brought your younger brother out?" The aunt saw Mu Ziyan patting Chao Xian's shoulder and understood.
Chao Xian raised an eyebrow, glanced at Mu Ziyan, and blurted out, "Am I that young? I'm forty years old, and this is my son."
Mu Ziyan: ?
Aunt:? ? ?
Chao Xian took the milk tea and left without even glancing at the shocked look on the aunt's face behind her.
Mu Ziyan followed silently behind Chao Xian.
It wasn't until Chao Xian found the camera shop.
He then uttered two words: "Liar."
Mu Ziyan's voice was slightly crisp, and when she uttered those two words, her eyes were full of condemnation.
They are condemning North Korea for its deception.
Chao Xian gave an "oh".
"I'm lying, so what if you hit me!"
They were self-righteous and even fearless.
When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.
Who would be foolish enough to tell someone their real name and age?
Isn't this just telling people: I'm easily fooled?
Oh, wait, maybe his adopted son is just that stupid.
"When you're out and about, vigilance is the most important thing. I brought you out and you didn't even tell your dad. If I were taking you to sell for money, I'd tell you how much money we'd make!"
Chao Xian teased Mu Ziyan.
But he only received a glare from Mu Ziyan.
Chao Xian suddenly realized something was wrong; Mu Yunzhou had given even more.
You don't have to worry about anything; Mu Yunzhou will give you a lot, including many bonuses!
Kids these days are so hard to fool.
The court is not at ease!
The shop assistant explained the camera to Chao Xian, who said he intended to use it to shoot everyday videos.
Several price ranges offer good options.
While Chao Xian was still hesitating, Mu Ziyan had already successfully made the payment.
It's the most expensive one.
Anyway, it's not Mu Ziyan's money.
Mu Ziyan's watch was linked to Mu Yunzhou's secondary card, and Mu Yunzhou had previously told her not to be shy about buying anything when she went out.
Those were words of encouragement for Mu Ziyan to go out.
Chao Xian had just settled down when he turned around and saw the child next to him holding a camera that was already packed.
Chao Xian: "? Mu Ziyan, why did you buy it?!"
The shop assistant, seeing this, found it somewhat amusing: "Your brother must have a very good relationship with you. He probably bought it secretly to give you a surprise."
Chao Xian twitched the corner of his mouth.
“My son is very filial.”
The shop assistants were completely bewildered.
Chao Xian left with Mu Ziyan.
He glanced at Mu Ziyan's watch and said, "You have that much money in your watch? You just bought a camera worth over 100,000 yuan like that?"
"Secondary card".
Mu Ziyan is sparing with his words.
"Alright then, I'll allow you to order tonight. What would you like to eat?" Chao Xian said with satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan blinked and exclaimed, "Shrimp!"
"Granted, go buy groceries and go home!"
Chao Xian reached out and patted Mu Ziyan's head, ruffling her hair before withdrawing his hand in satisfaction.
Mu Ziyan got the chance to order food, but lost her composure.
Shrimp tastes best when it's boiled.
Chao Xian prepared the sauce and placed it on the table. He then ladled a large bowl of rice for Mu Ziyan and handed it to her.
"After your training tomorrow, come with me to go shopping for clothes."
With the recent cold snap, all the clothes in my closet seem to want to flaunt their logos. I finally found a few casual and understated pieces, but none of them have thin long sleeves!
Mu Ziyan didn't say anything.
When Mu Yunzhou came in, he saw one person peeling shrimp and another eating shrimp.
Mu Ziyan was peeling the shrimp...
Mu Yunzhou was somewhat surprised.
If it weren't for Mu Yunzhou's requirement that Mu Ziyan eat downstairs whenever he was home...
Mu Ziyan will probably just stay in his room every day.
Should I find a stepmother for Mu Ziyan sooner rather than later?
Mu Yunzhou was puzzled.
Chao Xian quickly noticed the extra person in the living room.
"Um...have you eaten?"
"Chao xian" means to be polite.
