Chapter 186: 1862 Combined (Many comments)
186:
He Yao, of course, did not bring it.
He had never really cared about He Lei. Before he came, his agent had repeatedly asked him to meet He Lei and get to know her beforehand, but he felt it was unnecessary.
—A trainee daughter, not his biological daughter, why bother with all this?
He and this intern daughter will definitely not have any interaction in the future. He will only stay for three or four days each time he records a program, so he can just act it out.
Who would actually believe they are father and daughter just because they appear on a TV show?
It's simply a matter of each getting what they need.
He cultivated an image as a good father to attract fans.
He was cultivating the image of a good daughter for his intern daughter so she could enter the entertainment industry and become a child star.
Both sides have their own agendas, so sincerity is of no use.
He Yao has great confidence in his acting skills and believes he can definitely portray a good father.
Therefore, he didn't consider anything else.
He bought snacks, mosquito repellent patches for children, and other items as if he were putting on a show, to demonstrate his thoughtfulness and to show that he was looking forward to this "intern daughter."
As for bed sheets and duvet covers, the agent said that He Lei's parents would prepare them for her, so He Yao naturally didn't care.
But now, He Lei is actually asking him if he has it.
He Yao was a little annoyed. Did she really think he was her father? She even brought her bed sheets?
Couldn't she bring an extra set herself?
Asking him this question on camera now would put him in a difficult position.
"I'm sorry, baby. Daddy didn't expect you to stain the sheets, so I didn't prepare any extras. How about this, Daddy will give you his own?" He Yao pretended to be gentle.
He Lei wasn't familiar with him, and when she heard him say he would give her his, she immediately shook her head.
The intern dad didn't prepare any extras; if she used his, he wouldn't have any left.
“I’ll stick with mine,” He Lei said. “I like the little flower.”
"You really don't want Daddy's? Daddy can bring it to you."
"No need, thank you, Dad."
"You're welcome," He Yao said with a smile. "Shall Dad change your bed sheet now?"
He Lei nodded, "Mm."
She actively helped He Yao change the bed sheet.
Some viewers in the live stream expressed their dissatisfaction, saying, "Why didn't he bring a sheet for the baby?"
[Exactly, isn't he supposed to be a temporary dad?!]
[Mu Shaowu next door brought at least three outfits for Ye Qingxi, why didn't he bring any?!]
He Yao's fans quickly defended him, saying, "[He Yao is also a first-time father; he probably doesn't realize this yet.]"
[He Yao probably thought Lei Lei brought them herself. Why didn't Lei Lei bring more sets?]
Audience: [?? So it was Leilei's fault?]
Leilei never imagined her clothes would get dirty, and her temporary father wouldn't help her take care of them.
[Leilei is only four and a half years old, and her parents can't come with her, so her suitcase definitely can't hold much. In times like these, it's time for the "intern dad" to prepare more!]
[Hu Kai next door has already prepared everything for Huo Zinan! Isn't Hu Kai supposed to be a temporary dad? How come he's so aware of this?!]
[Who isn't a first-time dad? Is He Yao the only one experiencing this?!]
[He doesn't even realize this yet. He almost dropped Leilei when they were choosing the house, and now he hasn't even brought her a spare sheet. What is he doing here?!]
[Exactly! And the reason Leilei stained the sheets was because he was busy making his own bed and didn't care about Leilei. As a father, he didn't even make his daughter's bed first! He only cared about himself!]
[Besides, if he really wanted to change the sheets, he could have just given Leilei his own sheets instead of asking her if she wanted them. Leilei is so sensible, how could she possibly agree?]
[Of course! And then there's the line, "Daddy didn't expect you to stain the sheets," so is it our Leilei's fault?]
[Leilei was such a good girl, she didn't cry or make a fuss and quietly did the work, but He Yao still scolded her for soiling the sheets. They're both interns, but Huo Zinan next door doesn't have to do so much!]
[Sigh, the happy baby is watching TV and eating candied sweet potatoes, while the unfortunate baby is silently working and still getting scolded.]
Not only that, but I'll also be sleeping on dirty sheets tonight.
[Waaaaah, someone please save our Leilei!]
After He Lei helped He Yao change the bed sheet, she could finally sit down and rest for a while.
She looked at her little sandals, then glanced out the window, wondering what Ye Qingxi was doing.
Ye Qingxi was eating candied sweet potatoes with Mu Shaowu.
After Mu Shaowu finally finished his chores and stopped, Ye Qingxi immediately brought him a plate of candied sweet potato to feed him.
"Dad, eat quickly, or they'll all be hugging each other."
Caught off guard, Mu Shaowu was fed one by him and had no choice but to eat it.
As soon as he swallowed it, Ye Qingxi fed him another one.
"You eat, you eat," he said, both amused and exasperated.
Ye Qingxi looked at him and said, "I've eaten a lot and I'm not hungry anymore. Dad, are you hungry?"
Mu Shaowu was certainly a little hungry, but there was only this one plate of food available, so he wanted Ye Qingxi to eat more.
“Dad isn’t hungry,” Mu Shaowu said.
Ye Qingxi laughed, "Then I'm not hungry either."
As he spoke, he was about to feed Mu Shaowu again.
Mu Shaowu had no choice but to accept the remaining candied sweet potato with a smile and start eating it.
Ye Qingxi was satisfied.
"Dad, eat more! What you cooked today is so delicious!"
"Really?" Mu Shaowu felt it was similar to what he had done before, but as long as his son liked it, that was fine.
"Then Dad will make it for you again tomorrow."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
Mu Shaowu smiled and fed him one.
Ye Qingxi cooperated and ate it, giving him a sweet smile.
The viewers in the live stream couldn't help but laugh: [So sweet~ Little Xi is so sweet~]
[Aww, what a loving father and son!]
This set of photos is so heartwarming! I love it!
I like it too~
[The lividity seems to have faded~]
[Spot-fading serum~]
Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi were eating when the filming director suddenly knocked on the door and came in. She looked at Ye Qingxi and handed her the task card.
Ye Qingxi took it and saw that it read: [It's almost dinnertime. Please go to the village to find ingredients, everyone! Good luck, everyone!]
Ye Qingxi had expected this when she saw the empty refrigerator, so she wasn't surprised.
He turned around and handed the task card to Mu Shaowu.
"Dad, I'm going to go find some ingredients."
Mu Shaowu took it, glanced at it, and stood up. "Then Dad will see you out."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
The father and son went out together, and Ye Qingxi waved to Mu Shaowu, "I'll be back soon."
"Okay," Mu Shaowu said with a smile, "Then I'll stay home obediently and wait for you to come back~"
Ye Qingxi was amused by his words and raised her hand to beckon Mu Shaowu to lower his head.
Mu Shaowu bent down in confusion.
Ye Qingxi placed her hand on his head and gently patted it. "So good~"
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu remained silent.
Seeing his helpless expression, Ye Qingxi laughed, "Then baby's off to work~"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu was both amused and exasperated.
The live stream audience burst into laughter: [Hilarious! This is the first time I've ever seen a dad say, "I'll be a good boy and wait for you to come home."]
[Hahaha, Mu Shaowu, you really are! How come I never noticed how cute you are before!]
[And Ye Qingxi actually cooperated with him, even saying "Good boy~" and "Baby's going to work~", it was just too cute!]
[I'm guessing Mu Shaowu usually says this to Xiaoxi when he goes to work, so Xiaoxi remembered it!]
Does being around adorable babies really make adults more adorable?
[Aaaaaah, does anyone understand?! I really want to have both this father and son!]
【Me too! 】
Ye Qingxi waved goodbye to her father and set off to find ingredients.
As he passed a closed door, he raised his hand and knocked.
"Who is it?" a female voice came from inside the door.
Along with the sound came the cry of a baby.
Ye Qingxi was a little confused for a moment. After pausing for a second, she replied, "Hello, I'm here to record a program. I need to find some ingredients to have dinner with my dad."
The door opened quickly from the inside, and a woman with a ponytail held a child and looked at him. While comforting the child, she said, "Come in first, I'll go see what vegetables we have at home."
Ye Qingxi nodded.
He walked through the gate and saw a baby carriage parked in the yard. As the woman passed by, she put the baby in the carriage and said to him, "Can you watch this for me?"
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi: !!
Before Ye Qingxi could respond, the baby started crying again.
Ye Qingxi was startled and quickly went over, fiddling with the toys on the stroller and coaxing him, "Don't cry, don't cry, look what this is?"
"Wah~" The baby cried even louder.
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi hurriedly put down the toy and tried to coax him again.
"Look what this is? It's your brother's hand~" He placed his hand in front of the baby and waved it.
Then she gently covered his eyes, saying, "Baby can't see!"
Release it again, and "Baby saw it again~"
Then cover it up again, "The baby can't see it anymore~"
Release it again, and "Baby saw it again~"
The baby giggled.
Ye Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief and continued playing the "seeing or not seeing" game with him.
When the woman who went back inside to get him the tomatoes came out, this was the scene she saw.
"You're not crying anymore?" she asked in surprise.
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Mm."
"That's wonderful!" the woman said happily. "Thank you!"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "No need to thank me, it's just that my little brother is very well-behaved~"
“He’s so naughty, all he does is cry all day long! Here, this is for you.” The woman handed over the tomatoes in her hand.
"Thank you." Ye Qingxi quickly accepted it.
He turned and waved to the baby in the stroller, "Bye-bye~"
The baby giggled and seemed very happy.
Viewers in the live stream laughed and said, "This little baby is quite cute."
Crying isn't cute, not crying is cute.
[But Xiaoxi was so cute when she was comforting him! A baby comforting a baby even younger than herself~]
And Xiaoxi's expressions are so cute~
Our Xiaoxi is such a kind baby!
Ye Qingxi carried the tomatoes out the door and continued walking forward.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone call out to him, "Ye Qingxi, Brother Qingxi."
Ye Qingxi turned around and saw that it was He Lei.
He hurriedly walked towards He Lei.
He Lei looked at the plastic bag in his hand and asked curiously, "What's this?"
"Tomatoes," Ye Qingxi replied. "An auntie just gave them to me."
He Lei nodded and said, "I haven't gotten anything yet."
“Then let’s go together,” Ye Qingxi said.
He Lei instantly became happy.
She took Ye Qingxi's hand and walked forward with him.
Ye Qingxi was curious about He Yao's activities after leaving her, so she asked, "How is your family?"
“It’s fine,” He Lei said obediently. “We have two bedrooms in our house. Dad lets me sleep in the big bedroom and he sleeps in the small bedroom.”
Ye Qingxi: ...It's rare that he's willing to let He Lei sleep in the master bedroom.
"But when I changed the sheets, I spilled the yogurt, and the sheets got dirty," He Lei said somewhat embarrassedly.
Ye Qingxi quickly feigned surprise and said, "You're changing the sheets? You're so young and you already know how to change sheets? Where's your dad? Why doesn't he help you change them?"
“Dad is in his room, busy,” He Lei explained.
"Then he should help you change the sheets. You're a kid, and kids often don't change the sheets properly. My dad doesn't let me change them; he always does it for me."
He Lei: ...
He Lei said softly, "When I'm at home, my parents help me change them."
She said this with an unconscious look of nostalgia on her face.
As a result, the viewers in the live stream immediately became dissatisfied with He Yao again.
[Leilei is a pampered little princess at home, spoiled by her parents!]
【That's right, Leilei is so young, whose daughter isn't pampered and spoiled at that age!】
That damned He Yao! He actually made my little daughter change the sheets herself!
[Look at this, even a little baby like Ye Qingxi knows that changing the sheets is an adult's job, but He Yao, who's a grown man, still doesn't know!]
Sigh, I feel so sorry for Leilei.
"Your sheets are dirty, did your dad bring you any extras?" Ye Qingxi asked thoughtfully.
It's not that your sheets are dirty, or how you'll sleep tonight, nor is it that your dad swapped his own for yours. The question is, did your dad bring any extra sheets?
Ye Qingxi knew very well that he might not get the answers he wanted for the first two questions, but there was a 90% chance that the last question would be the one he wanted.
—He Yao has no children, and judging from the house bidding war, he doesn't seem to care much about He Lei. This means he won't bring any personal belongings for He Lei.
Moreover, Ye Qingxi clearly remembered that when He Yao opened his suitcase to give him snacks, he looked inside the suitcase. Although he couldn't see everything, there were definitely no colors suitable for a little girl.
If He Yao had put his heart into preparing bedding for He Lei, he would definitely have chosen colors that the little girl liked.
If he didn't, it means he wasn't prepared.
Sure enough, He Lei paused for a moment, then shook her head.
Ye Qingxi knew it.
He feigned surprise again: "Didn't your dad bring you bed sheets?"
He Lei: ...
He Lei also felt that her father should bring her a set of bed sheets so that she could change them.
However, she had a very good temper, so she explained on He Yao's behalf, "Dad might have forgotten."
"How could I forget? My dad would never forget my things."
He Lei: ...But, the intern dad isn't her biological dad.
She lowered her head, looking somewhat melancholy.
The next second, Ye Qingxi said, "Don't worry, my dad brought me some extra. When we finish eating the vegetables and go back, I'll have my dad give you mine so you won't have to sleep on dirty sheets~"
After saying that, Ye Qingxi added, "My bed sheets were all bought for me by my dad. They're new, unused, and not dirty at all."
He Lei was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"
Ye Qingxi nodded, "My dad and I will go back with you then, so my dad can help you make your bed and change the sheets for you, instead of you having to do it yourself~"
He Lei is only four and a half years old. No matter how sensible and well-behaved she is, she is still just a child.
Hearing Ye Qingxi say this, she thought that with new sheets and an adult to help her, she would definitely not soil the sheets again. So she didn't even think about what He Yao would think when Mu Shaowu went back with her to change the sheets.
Even if she came up with an extraordinary idea, she would only relate it to her usual interactions with her parents, thinking that her parents would be very happy and grateful to her uncle for helping her.
So she smiled happily and said, "Thank you, brother~"
"You're welcome~" Ye Qingxi said with a smile.
The viewers who came to the live stream with He Lei felt incredibly grateful upon seeing this.
[Great! My baby doesn't have to sleep on dirty sheets anymore! I can finally relax!]
[Seriously, nobody understands, everyone. I see Ye Qingxi like she's my savior!]
【I understand, I understand! Ye Qingxi, you are our Leilei's goddess!】
First, Mu Shaowu saved Lei Lei during the house-grabbing competition, then Ye Qingxi offered to give Lei Lei new bed sheets. Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi, how could Lei Lei survive without you two!
[The fake father of Lei – He Yao, the real father of Lei – Mu Shaowu, and by the way, a little brother – Ye Qingxi.]
[Hahaha, that's right. So far, He Yao isn't even as good to our Lei Lei as Mu Shaowu and his son.]
[I can't even imagine how happy Leilei would be if Mu Shaowu were her temporary dad!]
Viewers in Ye Qingxi's live stream were both amused and exasperated by the comments from a "mommy fan" in He Lei's live stream.
However, they hadn't watched He Yao's live stream, so they were quite surprised: [He Yao didn't bring any extra sheets for Lei Lei? Does he really know why he's on this show?]
[Thankfully, Mu Shaowu wasn't there, otherwise he would probably be angry again, and He Yao would be saying sarcastically, "You're the only good person, and we're all bad people."]
[I'm not exaggerating, but compared to He Yao, our Old Man Mu is far too reliable!]
[Haha, even if we're not compared to He Yao, our Mu Laonu is reliable too!]
That's right!
After Ye Qingxi and He Lei finished talking about the bed sheets, they held hands and continued walking forward.
Although He Lei is only four and a half years old, she is not spoiled at all.
Ye Qingxi brought the vegetables He Lei had asked for. Ye Qingxi offered to help her carry them, but He Lei refused and carried her own vegetables independently.
She even said, "Brother Qingxi, I can help you."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
You, a four-and-a-half-year-old kid?
Ye Qingxi smiled and took the potatoes from her hand, "Let me help you."
Seeing that he easily took away the things from her hands, He Lei thought he was amazing, and she couldn't help but look at him with a bit of admiration.
The two children knocked on doors at one house and peeked into another, and soon they had a lot of vegetables.
Ye Qingxi looked at the dishes in her hand and wanted to ask for an extra egg so that Mu Shaowu could make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
After taking only two steps, they heard a loud groan from He Lei's stomach.
He Lei: ...
He Lei was a little embarrassed, and her face turned slightly red.
Ye Qingxi blinked. "Are you hungry?"
He Lei nodded.
Ye Qingxi was determined not to miss any opportunity to flatter one while belittling the other, "Didn't your father make you anything to eat just now?"
He Lei asked in surprise, "Did your dad just make it for you?"
"Of course~" Ye Qingxi said proudly, "My dad made me candied sweet potatoes and let me watch TV."
He Lei: !!!
He Lei also wanted to eat candied sweet potatoes.
"Your dad is amazing!"
Of course, my dad pre-made it!
Ye Qingxi laughed.
His smug little face amused the viewers, who couldn't help but send comments like:
[Xiao Xi looks so childish!]
[So cute!]
[Xiaoxi: My dad is awesome!]
Hahaha, I feel like Xiaoxi really admires Shaowu!
Mu Shaowu loves Xiao Xi very much too~
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
[You don't know until you compare, and the difference is shocking! He Yao, how exactly are you doing as a temporary dad?!]
[Leilei seems much happier with Xiaoxi than with He Yao.]
Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true.
Of course, our little Xi is so cute, who wouldn't be happy being with him?
[The key point is that Ye Qingxi is a very nice person, thoughtful and considerate, unlike He Yao, who doesn't care about Lei Lei at all.]
After Ye Qingxi finished her taunts, she smiled and said, "Then let's go home."
He Lei looked at him, somewhat puzzled, "Didn't you just say you wanted some more eggs?"
“But you’re hungry,” Ye Qingxi said. “I’ve already eaten, but you haven’t. It will take time to cook, so let’s go back first, otherwise you’ll be hungry for a long time.”
He Lei shook her head, "It's okay."
"No, no, my dad said children shouldn't go hungry. I'll eat eggs tomorrow," Ye Qingxi said.
After he finished speaking, he pulled He Lei and walked back.
He Lei had no choice but to go with him.
[I knew it! Ye Qingxi is so thoughtful and considerate.] Someone immediately commented in the live stream chat.
Indeed, I really want a child as well-behaved as that.
[Good-looking, considerate, and sweet—Mu Shaowu, you're truly enviable!]
The enviable Mu Shaowu was sitting at home watching TV at that moment.
There's nothing they can do; these fathers don't have any assignments right now, and they've already promised their sons to stay home obediently. They can't very well go out for a stroll.
As Mu Shaowu was looking around, he suddenly heard a noise outside the door. He quickly stood up and saw that his beloved son had returned.
Not only did he return, but he also had a child with him—He Lei.
"Dad, I'm home." Ye Qingxi approached him.
He Lei politely greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Mu."
"Hello." Mu Shaowu smiled.
He looked at his son with some confusion, "You ran into Leilei?"
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Leilei's bed sheet is dirty, and her intern dad didn't bring her any, so I thought I'd lend her one of mine."
Hearing this, He Lei felt a little embarrassed and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Uncle."
"No need, no need," Mu Shaowu said with a smile.
He thought to himself speechlessly: Is He Yao really here to be a temporary dad? How come he doesn't care about his daughter at all?
However, he didn't say much in front of He Lei, afraid of upsetting her.
Mu Shaowu picked up the vegetables from Ye Qingxi's hands, and then picked up the vegetables from He Lei's hands as well, and put them in the kitchen.
Then, he led Ye Qingxi and He Lei into the bedroom, opened his suitcase, and asked Ye Qingxi, "Which set do you want to lend to your sister?"
He didn't ask He Lei which one she liked, but instead asked Ye Qingxi which one she wanted to borrow.
It was obvious that he cared more about Ye Qingxi than He Lei, so he didn't want to make decisions on his own, fearing that what He Lei liked might also be what Ye Qingxi liked.
Ye Qingxi sensed his little scheme and couldn't help but smile.
He always appreciates the unintentional displays of care that others show for him, especially from his family and friends.
Ye Qingxi carefully selected the sheets and finally took out the yellow sun-shaped bed sheet, handing it to He Lei.
He Lei liked it very much, and her eyes instantly curved into a smile. "Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome."
After Ye Qingxi finished speaking, she turned to her father and asked, "Dad, can you come with me to Leilei's house? Leilei just changed the sheets herself and accidentally got them dirty. Could you go and change them for her?"
After he finished speaking, he even put on a volunteer-like posture, saying, "I'll help you."
Mu Shaowu asked in surprise, "Your intern dad doesn't change your sheets?"
He Lei: ...
He Lei could only explain, "Dad is busy."
"Even if I'm busy, I should still help you change it."
He stood up. "Come on, I'll help you change."
"Thank you, Uncle Mu," He Lei said quickly.
"No need, this is what adults should do," Mu Shaowu said with a smile.
He walked out of the bedroom, picked up He Lei's vegetables, and, along with Ye Qingxi, headed towards He Lei's house.
He Yao was resting at home when he suddenly heard the door open. He went out and saw that Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi had returned with He Lei.
Not only that, He Lei was also holding something in her arms.
He Yao looked closely and realized that what she was holding was probably a bed sheet.
What is she doing? Did she go to Mu Shaowu's house to ask for bed sheets?
What's wrong with her?!
How could you be so insensible!
He Yao was absolutely furious.
He told her she didn't want his sheets, but then she went to Mu Shaowu's house to ask for them herself, making it seem like he was abusing her!
Does she even know who her show partner is?
