Chapter 185 (1851st update) (Many comments)
185:
Ye Qingxi, pulling her small suitcase and carrying a backpack, walked hand in hand with Mu Shaowu along the country road.
He was born in the city in his previous life, and went straight to the Mu family after transmigrating in this life. In both lives, he had hardly lived in the countryside, so he found the green hills, trees and wildflowers here quite novel.
A butterfly flew past his eyes, and Ye Qingxi subconsciously reached out to catch it, but failed.
Mu Shaowu laughed, thinking that he looked just like a cotton candy.
When Cotton Candy plays in the yard, she curiously tries to catch butterflies and dragonflies with her claws, which is incredibly cute.
"When we get home, Dad will help you catch butterflies," Mu Shaowu said softly.
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "Dad, you should cook instead."
He said, "I'm hungry."
"No problem." Mu Shaowu replied without hesitation. "What would you like to eat?"
"I want to eat sweet and sour pork, eggplant with green peppers, mapo tofu, and stir-fried shrimp."
Live stream viewer: 【Wait, baby, you're actually reciting the menu?!】
[Hilarious! Our Qingxi baby really doesn't care at all whether his dad lives or dies [facepalm]]
Hahaha, the baby is so cute~ I'm rubbing the baby's little face~
[Excuse me, just wondering, does Mu Shaowu know how to cook?]
[It seems like probably, maybe, perhaps... no.]
[It's not a matter of seemingly, perhaps, or possibly; he genuinely can't. He mentioned in a previous interview that he grew up in a relatively privileged environment, so cooking was something he had a nanny for, not something he was asked to do.]
[Hahaha, then why bother with sweet and sour pork? Let's just have burnt pork instead!]
[The baby even ordered four dishes in one go! Mu Shaowu, are you scared yet?!]
[Mu Shaowu: ...I was just asking casually, don't take it seriously!]
Hahahaha.
Mu Shaowu thought for a moment and said to his son, "I feel that the production team may not necessarily prepare shrimp for us."
Unless it's frozen shrimp, his son doesn't like to eat it.
Ye Qingxi: ...It seems quite possible.
Ye Qingxi: "Then let's not eat this. Three dishes are enough for the two of us."
"That won't do." Mu Shaowu dared not. What if his father was watching the live stream right now, counting the dishes?
Three of them, that dog's head is probably going to be guillotined!
"I'll make you some cola chicken wings," Mu Shaowu pondered. "You like them quite a bit."
“Okay~” Ye Qingxi agreed.
Live stream viewer: [?? Wait, what does Mu Shaowu mean by that? He can cook?]
[They can even make cola chicken wings! That's amazing!]
I don't believe it. Mu Shaowu doesn't look like someone who can cook.
Did he start learning after we had kids?
"It can't be that bad, can't they just have a nanny? She can handle it."
"That's different. Can what Dad does be the same as what the nanny does?"
Of course they're different; the nanny did a better job. [doge emoji]
I still don't believe Mu Shaowu can cook. Even if he likes Ye Qingxi a lot, it's unlikely he'd learn to cook for her.
"That's right. There are so many fathers in this world, and they're all biological fathers. None of them would learn to cook for their children. To put it bluntly, Mu Shaowu is just an adoptive father, not even the kind who takes over the child from birth. How much genuine care can he possibly have?"
However, I also feel that neither Mu Shaowu nor Ye Qingxi truly cares for each other.
After following the signs from the production team for a while, Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi finally arrived at the front of their house.
Mu Shaowu pushed open the door and saw that the house looked just like the one in the photo, and it was very grand.
They crossed the yard and entered the house, and were pleasantly surprised to find a television in the living room.
Mu Shaowu chuckled and said to Ye Qingxi, "Look, this is your favorite."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi was somewhat helpless. He didn't actually like watching TV that much, but he often used TV as a pretext, which made his whole family think he was a TV enthusiast.
Sometimes when Mu Shaoting and the others are watching TV, they will even ask him, "Baby, do you want to watch? What TV shows have you been watching lately?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi could only smile and try to get away with it by being cute.
Now that Mu Shaowu has discovered there's a TV in the house, he turns it on for Ye Qingxi without even thinking.
Then he handed him the remote control, saying, "Watch TV, Dad will tidy up the house."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi quickly replied, "I can help you."
"No need," Mu Shaowu said. "You wait here, I'll see if there's any fruit in the kitchen. If there is, I'll wash it for you, and you can eat while you watch."
Ye Qingxi: ...Is it possible that he came here to record a show, not to enjoy life?
Ye Qingxi quickly followed.
The refrigerator in the kitchen was completely empty.
It's obvious that the children will be allowed to ask for it themselves in a little while.
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu bent down and began searching the kitchen. He refused to believe that there really wasn't a single food item left.
Soon, Mu Shaowu found a bag of rice, a bag of flour, a bucket of oil, and a cardboard box containing potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Mu Shaowu picked up a sweet potato and looked at his precious son. "Dad will make you a candied sweet potato first, so you can have it as a snack."
Viewers in the live stream: 【!! He can even make candied sweet potatoes?!】
[No way, Young Master Mu, you've evolved so much in just a few months!]
I simply can't believe it.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi was indeed a little hungry, and he also felt that his dad probably really wanted to show off his current cooking skills, so he nodded, "Then Dad, good luck!"
"No problem, go watch TV," Mu Shaowu said confidently.
Ye Qingxi could only agree: "Okay."
He left the kitchen, sat in the living room, and started watching cartoons.
Mu Shaowu then began washing the sweet potatoes, peeling them, cutting them into chunks, and heating the oil.
He poured the chopped sweet potatoes into the hot oil and fried them until they were golden brown, then calmly scooped them out.
Then they started making the syrup.
When the syrup was almost cooked, Mu Shaowu poured in the fried sweet potatoes and started stir-frying.
Ye Qingxi sat in the living room, feeling as if she could already smell the sweet aroma of sweet potatoes.
The viewers in the live stream felt like they were getting hungry.
Wow! Mu Shaowu can actually cook!
[It looks pretty good!]
It smells so good! I can almost smell the sweet potatoes.
Ahhh, this makes me crave candied sweet potatoes too!
[Is this Mu Shaowu's live stream? I didn't enter the wrong room, why is he cooking?]
[Because he wanted his precious son to eat while watching TV, oh my god, what an amazing dad!]
I can't believe how happy I would be if my dad made me snacks and brought them to me while I was watching TV!
So Mu Shaowu actually can cook! Oh my god!
[This might be the only one, so I can't wait to show it off!]
Knowing even one is good; it's better than some people not knowing any at all!
Soon, Mu Shaowu put the candied sweet potatoes into a plate and took it out.
He placed a pair of chopsticks and a bottle of sponsored yogurt on the coffee table in front of Ye Qingxi.
"Alright, go watch TV. Dad will go change your sheets and blankets."
Ye Qingxi quickly stood up, "I'll go with you."
"No need, young master, you can sit down. This old servant can handle this myself."
Ye Qingxi: ...
[Hahahaha.] The live stream chat erupted in cheerful laughter. [Old servant, Mu Shaowu, you have a pretty clear understanding of your own position.]
[Hilarious! I never expected Mu Shaowu to be such a father.]
[Isn't that the old servant? I work so hard cooking, while the young master comfortably watches TV, and then he gets to enjoy it all by himself. How wonderful it is for our little Xi baby!]
Looking at all these live streams, Ye Qingxi is definitely living a much better life than the other kids [facepalm]
[Sure enough, Tao Tao is wailing, Zhang Ning is sulking, Yang Shu is about to cry, Huo Zinan is complaining about her intern dad, and He Lei is quietly changing the sheets by herself. Only our Young Master Ye! Not only is he watching TV! He's eating snacks while watching TV!]
[This is all because our Young Master Ye has such a good old servant!]
[Hahahaha, well done, old servant! Young master's happiness is assured. Keep it up, Old Servant Mu!]
[I can't take it anymore, I'm totally a fan of Mu Shaowu, he's just too cute!]
Ye Qingxi had no choice but to obediently sit back on the sofa.
Mu Shaowu tidied up the kitchen and then went to the bedroom.
The bedroom had already been cleaned very thoroughly, so Mu Shaowu didn't bother cleaning it again. He simply changed the bedding to a brand that Ye Qingxi usually used.
She then took out Ye Qingxi's cat slippers, cat paw water cup, and kettle with three settings for hot, cold, and warm water, and put them away.
He placed a water glass in the bedroom and also put one in the living room so that Ye Qingxi could drink water whenever she wanted.
Then she went to the bathroom to get Ye Qingxi's own toothbrush, tooth mug, and small towel.
Yes, this luxurious house even comes with a bathroom!
Mu Shaowu was incredibly excited when he discovered this. Although there was no bathtub, there was a shower, which meant that he and his son could still take a bath every day!
Only after he finished doing all this did Mu Shaowu finally stop.
The viewers in the live stream could hardly believe it: "He actually did a pretty good job! Very organized!"
[A stark contrast to those unreliable dads next door!]
[And he's so thoughtful; he brought so many of Ye Qingxi's daily necessities.]
It seems like half of Mu Shaowu's suitcase is filled with Ye Qingxi's things.
[You're overthinking it. Based on Old Servant Mu's self-assessment, it's at least half.]
[Ahhh, how come I never realized Mu Shaowu was such a reliable guy before!]
[Where can you find a boyfriend who can do housework, cook, and is handsome?!]
[I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean. From today onwards, I'm a member of the Wutong family!]
Wutong – the name of Mu Shaowu's fans.
At this moment, the sisters couldn't help but smile as they watched the endless praise in the live stream.
I have to say! Her brother is really impressive!
This performance was completely beyond their expectations!
marvelous!
If some people perform well, then naturally some people will not perform well.
In He Yao's live stream room, He Yao had already tidied up his bedroom and was now resting on the bed.
He knew it was a parent-child reality show, so after resting for only two minutes, he stood up again, walked to He Lei's bedroom, and asked her, "Is there anything Dad can help you with?"
He Lei panicked a little when she saw him come in.
Seeing the panic on her face, He Yao asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
“I…” He Lei lowered her head, looking at the wet patch on the sheet, “I accidentally spilled yogurt on the sheet just now.”
She was a sensible little girl. After following He Yao to the house, He Yao gave her the master bedroom and went to the small bedroom himself. While He Yao was tidying up the house, He Lei opened her suitcase and prepared to change into her own pink floral bed sheets.
She took away the original pillows and blankets from the bed, pulled away the sheets, and, feeling thirsty, picked up the sponsored yogurt, took a sip, and then casually placed it on the bedside table.
As she was making the bed, she accidentally knocked over the bottle, and the yogurt spilled all over the sheets.
Before He Lei could react, He Yao walked in. She instantly felt as if she had done something wrong and became nervous.
Upon hearing this, He Yao smiled and comforted her, saying, "It's alright."
He walked over, looked at the damp patch on the sheet, and wiped it with a tissue.
He Lei stood beside him, looking down and fidgeting with her fingers.
He Yao helped her spread out the sheet. The clump with yogurt wasn't in the exact center, but rather on the right side near the edge of the bed.
"See, it doesn't affect your sleep, so it's nothing, baby, you don't need to blame yourself." He Yao said with a loving expression.
He Lei nodded, then asked him somewhat shyly, "Dad, did you bring me bed sheets?"
She said, "The little flower bed sheet is dirty, and my mom said it needs to be washed before we can use it."
He Yao:......
