Chapter 229 "Before the Sunrise" Coming of Age Ceremony Completed
"Is it possible?"
"Hey, don't squeeze me, you can see it if you stand back a little!"
"Who stepped on my foot? It hurts so much!"
"I've already told you this method won't work. My brother must be mad. He's ignored me all day!"
Leo curled up in a dark corner and felt more and more aggrieved.
Originally, he could have sat in the VIP area and said happy birthday to his brother in person.
But now... Alas, why would he be so foolish as to listen to such a bad idea?
"You can't retreat in the middle of a battle! What will be your punishment for disturbing the morale of the army again, little dog?" Ding Zai scolded righteously in a low voice.
"How could I... never have..."
"The plan that everyone voted on will be approved. Please be patient and wait."
Seeing that the two of them were unable to stop their momentum, and with Wei Liangchen who was eager to join in and add fuel to the fire, and You Jinchao who was just watching the show, Gu Yan quickly spoke out to mediate.
Bai Lang, who had been staring at the stage, suddenly said, "It's time."
This sentence was like pressing the mute button, and everyone fell silent instantly.
At the same time, Xie Qingyu, who was still unaware of the situation, was interacting with Qu Qinghuan on the stage.
Qu Qinghuan glanced at his watch and calmly led the conversation to the next step:
"I believe that Qingyu's journey of growth will be inseparable from the company of her family. Next, let's take a look at the message she sent."
Relatives? What relatives?
Wait…is there this part in rehearsal?!
Xie Qingyu's face remained calm, but suspicion arose in his heart.
Amid the audience's puzzled gazes, he slowly turned around and looked at the big screen.
There was a commotion at the scene, and the live broadcast room was flooded with question marks - everyone knew that this segment should not exist for Xie Qingyu.
Just when everyone present was filled with doubts, the big screen lit up, and the picture showed a pink room full of girlishness - plush dolls and bow decorations could be seen everywhere, accompanied by the background music of the wind chime version of "Happy Birthday".
But when Xie Qingyu saw this familiar arrangement, he felt relieved and roughly figured out what was going on.
This is Fanxing’s room in Bai Lang’s house. It is a warm little nest specially decorated by Bai’s mother for the little one.
Recently, because they go out early and come back late, the stars can only be sent there.
This room appears in the screen of this segment, and together with the people who ran out early in the morning and have not been seen yet, and Qu Qinghuan helped to hide it from him and did not reveal the existence of this segment in advance, then it is very clear who the "relatives" who appear in the video are.
The camera keeps changing angles, as if it is looking for something.
A few seconds later, a dark nose suddenly appeared in the picture, and Fanxing's signature "face-to-face shot" perspective made Xie Qingyu hold his forehead with his hand and laugh.
It's over. His daughter's image is completely unsalvageable, especially today in front of so many people at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
Showing this "mysterious angle" of a small head and a big body really won over this old father.
With the appearance of the stars, the originally solemn atmosphere eased a lot.
The army of question marks in the live broadcast room was immediately replaced by "cute" barrages, and the screen was full of "cloud parents" vying to recognize their relatives.
Although the video is not long, it is full of care.
At the end, they also used the pet voice button that is quite popular on the Internet. The content in it should have been changed. I don’t know how they taught it. Although it was obviously edited, it can be seen that the little guy did press it by himself.
The button popped out the blessing word by word, and finally formed a whole sentence.
"Brother - Happy birthday - be happy every day - you - are doing well - keep going!"
The stars in the picture looked confused, but their eyes occasionally looked towards the camera with extraordinary focus. Their whining sounds seemed to really convey their feelings, and Xie Qingyu could really understand and see them. Her eyes gradually turned red.
Just when everyone thought the video was over, a flustered voiceover suddenly came out:
"Have you finished recording? The little ancestor won't cooperate!"
“Should…right?”
"Ahhh... run, I feel like she wants to bite my ya--"
The video ended abruptly here, causing laughter to break out at the scene.
Xie Qingyu also turned his head and laughed silently.
Who edited this video? Didn’t they check it?
The staff who reviewed the video on his side were also full of bad intentions. They didn't make any changes when they found out about it and just released it directly to Shui Lingling.
"Boss Jian! Look at what you've done! My idol image is gone—"
Wei Liangchen almost fainted when he heard the voice-over. If You Jinzhao hadn't held him up skillfully, he would have probably just laid down and pretended to be dead.
He didn't do an X-ray because he thought the boy was so honest, but it ended up causing such a big joke. How can he continue to work in this field in the future?
Bai Lang blinked blankly, and when he thought carefully about today's process, he remembered that after editing the video, Ding Zai temporarily pulled him to the kitchen to make a cake. Later, he was assigned various tasks one after another, and the reason was always "you are the most reliable."
As a result, when it came time to submit the finished film, he only had time to briefly check the content of the screen before posting the video, and he didn't notice the voice-over after the screen went off.
So, the most reliable person happened to make the most outrageous mistake.
It was indeed a problem on his side, and the person involved looked really sad. Bai Lang was just about to apologize.
Wei Liangchen suddenly "came back to life" and stopped him, and asked him to pay him a few meals on the grounds that he had caused great harm to him physically and mentally.
"That's it? Such a big fuss just for two meals?" You Jinzhao was speechless.
Wei Liangchen shook his five fingers proudly: "What two meals? It's five meals!"
You Jinzhao: “…”
Others: “…”
Well, it's obvious that this person's brain circuit is completely hopeless.
With the end of the "messages from relatives" segment, today's coming-of-age ceremony process also ushered in the finale - making wishes and cutting cakes.
Xie Qingyu had a hunch that these guys had been doing this secretly for a whole day, so it was impossible that there was only one short video.
The result was of course as he expected. The cake was originally ordered by Hu Xuan, and she chose the style after consulting him, but the one that was pushed out now was exactly the same as the picture she sent.
The cake is big enough and grand enough, but the shape... well, it can only be described as ugly.
In addition, there is a kitten in a princess dress who is struggling to drag a "cake mountain" that is too big for her body. The picture looks magical no matter how you look at it.
Of course, it was impossible for Fanxing to pull the cake with so many layers, and she couldn't pull it at all.
The remote-controlled cart should have moved by itself. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the rope the kitten was dragging was not stretched straight.
The fluffy ball that was forcibly dug out of the cat's nest and put on a cumbersome little skirt looked reluctant, and when it was taken to the edge of the stage, it just took two perfunctory steps.
But when she saw her beloved two-legged beast whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she immediately rushed to the center of the stage with great energy. She even felt that the cart behind her was too slow, and she kept looking back and meowing in dissatisfaction.
This rope is in the way!
This slow cart!
It's preventing her from running towards her favorite two-legged beast! It's so annoying!
[Wow, the little thing is not big, but he has a bad temper.]
[Thanks to CC for this doting expression on his face. Don’t you understand? He’s doted on by his dad~]
[I suddenly resonate with Qingyubao! He has the same expression when I see him, and everything he does seems adorable!]
[Hello, Stars! Hello, Yubao! Wow, that cake cart!]
[Doesn’t anyone notice how ugly this cake is? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[Purchasing and getting beaten! This aesthetic is amazing]
[Which store? Tell me so everyone can avoid it.]
[It’s incredible! Who would have believed that there are tens of millions of people online in the live broadcast room right now, just looking at this little kitten? It’s really the pinnacle of cat life.]
[Fanxing: With a superstar dad, this little bit of attention is just a drop in the bucket~]
[There are also six godfathers who love her and her family, and dote on her to the bone. Basically, the little clothes they wear are never repeated. When will I be able to travel through the stars and experience this feeling?]
What's with that sour tone? You're even trying to compete with the kitten for attention.
[I don't care about others, but I envy Yubao's eyes so much! It's true that even a good-looking cat can be affectionate.]
[Ahhh, I can’t help it! My baby took the initiative to hug her, and I was so envious that I bit my handkerchief.]
Seeing that Fanxing was about to lose her temper, Xie Qingyu hurried forward to untie the rope and picked her up.
As soon as he fell into the familiar embrace and smelled the crisp pine scent, the little guy immediately became soft as a puddle of cat food, too lazy to even lift his paws.
"Next, shall we ask our birthday boy to make a wish?" As the process controller, Qu Qinghuan brought the attention back on track in a timely manner.
Although the kitten is adorable, the auspicious time cannot be missed.
Xie Qingyu picked up the microphone again and said with a smile, "Teacher Qu is right."
"But before you make a wish—"
"I would like to invite my teammates who prepared this surprise for me to come on stage and complete this ceremony with me..."
Wei Liangchen, squatting in a dark corner, rubbed his paws nervously: "Are we really going up there?"
When they were arranging all this, they didn't think about having a stage performance. It's so embarrassing!
Gu Qi interrupted his hesitation and raised his chin towards the stage: "Don't worry about it, someone has already 'rebelled' first."
His eyes followed Leo the puppy who, without even a shred of hesitation, excitedly rushed onto the stage as soon as his brother called him.
Wei Liangchen scolded: "How come this kid has no sense of teamwork! Shouldn't they go on stage in unison?"
"If you delay any longer, you'll be the last one."
Gu Zheng adjusted his suit collar, patted his shoulder, and walked towards the stage without looking back.
Wei Liangchen looked back - wow!
This group of people were so nimble that they all appeared on the stage in the blink of an eye.
How can that be possible!
Wouldn't it seem that he doesn't care enough about Xie Qingyu if he goes on stage last?
Thinking of this, Wei Liangchen sprinted a hundred meters and directly overtook the other few people who were walking in front of him without saying hello.
In addition to Leo, who rushed out early and was equally fast, he successfully seized the prime position on the other side of Xie Qingyu.
As for the embarrassing incident where he almost couldn't stop the car and fell down, and was finally supported by Xie Qingyu... ahem, there's no need to pay attention to such details!
Surrounded by his teammates, Xie Qingyu gently closed his eyes and made a wish devoutly.
As the candlelight flickered, he took a deep breath and blew out the candles, then cut the cake with everyone else, which might not be delicate but was full of love.
Just at this time, special guests such as Wei Qianze also came on stage chatting and laughing.
While the audience in the live broadcast room were still marveling at the impressive lineup of guests, Xie Qingyu had already distributed the cut cakes to everyone present.
After expressing gratitude to all attendees and expectations for the future, everyone took a group photo together.
After the guests left the stage, the final part of the event was finally revealed.
——From today on, Xie Qingyu will donate 10% of his personal income indefinitely to establish a special charity fund to help poor orphans complete their studies.
"I hope that no child will be forced to give up their studies due to financial difficulties and will be able to grow up happily!" he solemnly promised.
"I don't know if everyone is satisfied with today's event. I..."
"Satisfied! Very satisfied!" Before Xie Qingyu could finish the second half of the sentence, the fans at the scene had already given the most enthusiastic response.
Xie Qingyu smiled helplessly, "Then... let's stop here?"
It has been nearly three hours since he appeared on stage, and he has had little time to rest. Although he still has a smile on his face, the fine beads of sweat on his forehead can be clearly seen on the big screen.
The fans were heartbroken and tacitly gave up all requests for an encore.
When Xie Qingyu bowed deeply in thanks, the whole audience burst into long-lasting blessings:
"Xie Qingyu! Happy birthday!"
This unison of shouts was a surprise that they had privately repeated countless times, just to give their most sincere blessings to the boy they loved most at this moment.
