Chapter 181 (1811th update)
181:
After finishing his meal, Mu Shaowu picked up his plate and went into the kitchen.
He quickly washed the dishes and Ye Qingxi's milk cup and put them back in their place.
Ye Qingxi had already checked her luggage and ran out to ask him, "Dad, have you packed everything?"
"I've brought everything," Mu Shaowu said.
Ye Qingxi counted on her fingers as she checked with him: "Phone, charger, power bank, first-aid kit..."
He rattled off a string of words, and Mu Shaowu nodded in agreement.
Viewers in the live stream couldn't help but remark: "He knows quite a lot."
He not only knows a lot, but he also worries a lot. This is the first time I've seen a child inspect their father's luggage!
[Haha, yeah, next door it's all dads checking if their kids have brought everything, how come in this live stream it's the kids checking their dads?]
【Adorable~ This baby Mu Shaowu is so cute~】
As Ye Qingxi counted, she suddenly remembered and asked, "Did you bring your ID card and cash?"
Mu Shaowu certainly brought his ID card, but cash? "What do you need cash for?"
“Aren’t we going to the countryside? I saw on TV that some places don’t accept payments with my phone or my smartwatch; they require cash.”
Mu Shaowu suddenly realized that it was indeed true.
To be honest, the TV shows his son watches can sometimes be quite useful.
"Okay," Mu Shaowu said.
He went into the bedroom and took out several hundred dollars in cash from one of his wallets.
The director watching was somewhat surprised. Even adults like Mu Shaowu and she would unconsciously overlook the fact that cash cannot be used in some places, yet Ye Qingxi remembered that. He was only five years old. Wasn't he being a little too meticulous?
The viewers in the live stream felt the same way:
[Mu Shaowu's son is truly thoughtful!]
[Exactly, I forgot that some places don't accept mobile payments.]
The key point is that Mu Shaowu listens to him quite a bit; Mu Shaowu really has a good temper!
[My baby loves watching TV so much, I wonder if he/she has ever watched any of Daddy's shows~]
[You've probably seen it, his dad's so famous.]
Mu Shaowu stuffed the money into his wallet, picked up his suitcase, and prepared to leave.
Ye Qingxi quickly picked up her small suitcase and put on her backpack.
"Let's go!" Mu Shaowu took Ye Qingxi's hand and they left the house together.
With a "snap" of the door closing, the live stream was temporarily shut down.
The viewers were stunned for several seconds when they saw the message: "[This live broadcast has ended]".
【Did I...read wrong?!】
[Wait! Wasn't this just getting into the exciting part? How did it end so quickly?!]
【Aaaaaaah, what are you doing, production team?! Keep going! Am I broke?! Keep going!】
[I can't take it anymore! If you want VIP, just say so. Don't suddenly say the live stream is over. Did I allow it to end?!]
[After browsing through the other live streams, I realized they were all mostly over. The only one still going strong was Yang Jin's live stream, where she was still at home and hadn't left the house yet.]
So, does this mean that once you go out, you should pause the live stream?
[I guess so, since they'll be taking a plane later and it won't be convenient to film there, so they'll probably have to wait until they land in the village before they can continue the live stream.]
Okay, so when are they going to get to the village?!
Hurry, hurry, I can't wait!
Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi had just gotten into the program crew's car when they received a message from Zeng Chong.
The camera wasn't on and the live stream was closed, so Mu Shaowu watched without worry.
Zeng Chong: [You performed exceptionally well, your momentum is incredibly strong! My Wu, you truly are a born star! Your son is too!]
Mu Shaowu: [Thank you, but my son won't sign contracts, act, or become a star.]
Zeng Chong: ...Don't you think you're being too cruel to say this to an agent?!
Zeng Chong sighed and continued browsing online posts about Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi.
On the other side, He Yao also got into the program crew's car.
He and He Han had discussed it and didn't want to expose their relationship so early, so He Han stayed in her room and didn't come out, and He Yao didn't let the crew film her either.
With nothing to do in her room, He Han decided to go online.
As a result, she naturally stumbled upon the juiciest gossip that had gone viral online that morning.
He Han desperately wanted to rush out and tell He Yao, but she was worried about the cameras. Only after He Yao left and the live stream was closed did she send him a message asking: "Is it convenient to talk?"
He Yao replied to her: 【Typing is fine.】
He Han: [Mu Shaowu's child isn't a practice baby provided by the production team; it's his son!]
He Yao: [Mu Shaowu has a child!]
He Han: [I checked. He's not Mu Shaowu's biological son. He's the son of a friend of Mu Shaowu's father, and he adopted him.]
He Han: [Currently, he's gained quite a few fans because of this.]
He Yao raised his lips and sneered. As expected of Mu Shaowu, he can even use this kind of thing to gain fans.
The fact that the child isn't his biological child is enough to make the adopted child sensitive, but he seems to want the whole world to know so that everyone can see his "good intentions." Does he really care about this child?
Does this child really have no thoughts at all?
Is he really willing to go on this variety show with his so-called father?
As He Yao thought about this, an idea slowly formed in his mind.
He wanted to get close to Mu Shaowu's adopted son.
He needs to know that Mu Shaowu doesn't love him or care about him at all, while at the same time, he needs to be gentle and caring towards him.
In comparison, he would naturally feel dissatisfied with Mu Shaowu, and a rift or even conflict would develop between them.
At that time, netizens will speak up for the child and condemn Mu Shaowu, and Mu Shaowu's path to fame will come to an end.
He Yao didn't think it was difficult. Putting himself in his shoes, if he had been adopted as a child and the other party announced to the whole world that he was not their biological son, he would definitely feel embarrassed, upset, and that the other party didn't love him.
That child must be one too.
He did this for his own good.
Let him see Mu Shaowu's true character sooner rather than later.
See reality clearly as soon as possible and start planning for your own future.
"Understood," he replied to his sister.
Honestly, I really want to see Mu Shaowu and his child as soon as possible.
Ye Qingxi slept for a while in the car, then got off and arrived at the airport.
They quickly passed through security, boarded the plane, and headed straight for City S.
When we got off the plane, the special car arranged by the production team was already there.
Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu got into the car and headed towards their destination: Lijia Gou.
This run lasted four hours.
On the way to Lijia Gou, Ye Qingxi saw an old man squatting by a basket selling melons and fruits by the roadside in the village.
They all looked quite old, even older than Mu Feng and Elder Kang.
Ye Qingxi sat in the car, looking out the window, feeling a pang of guilt.
"Could you please stop the car?" he asked.
"What's wrong?" Mu Shaowu asked him.
The driver silently stopped the car.
Ye Qingxi turned to Mu Shaowu and said, "Dad, give me some of your previous cash."
Mu Shaowu quickly took out his wallet and gave him two hundred yuan.
Ye Qingxi got out of the car with the money, Mu Shaowu followed curiously, and the cameraman also followed with his camera.
Ye Qingxi quickly turned back to the old man selling fruit, and Mu Shaowu then realized that his son wanted to help the old man.
The old man saw it was a child and laughed, asking him, "Little one, what's wrong?"
"I'll buy some of your apples," Ye Qingxi said.
Mu Shaowu added, "Pack more food, there are many of us, and it won't be enough to eat if there isn't enough."
Upon hearing this, the old man quickly picked up a scale and weighed them.
“Not enough,” Mu Shaowu said, “Add some more.”
After filling about half a basket, Mu Shaowu finally said that was enough.
"Seventy-eight," the old man said after weighing his money. "I don't have that kind of code here, can you just give me the money directly?"
“Okay,” Mu Shaowu said, “but I don’t like taking small change. You can add a few more to make it a hundred, then you won’t need to give me change.”
"good."
The old man said this and happily packed it up for him again.
"Thank you," he said sincerely.
"You're welcome," Ye Qingxi said with a smile.
He handed over the hundred yuan in his hand, while Mu Shaowu picked up the apple.
The director didn't say anything, but couldn't help glancing at Ye Qingxi a couple more times after she got into the car.
She's done so many variety shows, and she's been to rural areas at least eight or ten times. Every time she passes by, there are vendors selling things on the roadside. They're used to it and don't stop.
The celebrities sitting in the car didn't care about this and didn't stop.
This is the first time the car has stopped because of a child.
This wasn't the first time a child had ridden in this car. Most children, upon seeing it, would simply ask their parents questions without stopping the car.
But Ye Qingxi stopped the car.
He is indeed a very good kid.
Thoughtful and kind.
The car stopped three times along the way, and Ye Qingxi bought fruit three times. Basically, whenever he saw fruit, he would ask the car to stop.
The director filming looked at him and laughed, "We have so much fruit in our car now, we can't even finish it all."
Ye Qingxi generously replied, "It's okay, we can give it to the other children when we meet them."
Are you looking forward to meeting the other children?
Ye Qingxi nodded. Of course, he was looking forward not only to meeting the children, but also to meeting the adults—for example, He Yao.
After finally arriving at their destination, Ye Qingxi got out of the car with Mu Shaowu.
The production crew was already waiting there. Upon seeing them, they quickly led them to the temporary meeting point—the village chief's courtyard.
As soon as Ye Qingxi stepped across the threshold, she heard a deafening cry.
"You're lying! You big liar! This place is no fun at all! I want to go home!"
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Both of them couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound out of curiosity.
In the courtyard, a little boy with a buzz cut was seen struggling to snatch a suitcase from a man who looked about to get angry.
"Let go of me, I want to go home! I need to go home right now..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man who had been pulling the suitcase suddenly let go. With a "thud," the little boy who had been struggling to pull the suitcase fell on his bottom, and the suitcase landed on top of him.
"Waaah—" The little boy with the buzz cut cried even louder.
Ye Qingxi almost burst out laughing.
But now was certainly not the time to laugh. Ye Qingxi released his suitcase, ran over quickly, squatted down, reached out to help the other person, and asked softly, "Are you alright?"
