Chapter 187 (1871st update) (Many comments)
187:
"Teacher Mu, what brings you here?" He Yao smiled and took the initiative to speak.
Mu Shaowu was annoyed just looking at him; if it weren't for He Lei, he wouldn't have bothered coming over.
"Leilei said her sheets were dirty, so Xiaoxi lent her her own sheets, and I came over to help her change them."
Upon hearing this, He Yao bent down to look at He Lei and asked gently, "Didn't Dad say he'd give you his bedsheets? Why did you go to borrow them from Brother Ye Qingxi?"
He Lei said obediently, "I met Brother Qingxi on the road. After hearing what happened, he offered to lend it to me, but it wasn't what I wanted."
"I see." He Yao looked at Ye Qingxi. "Thank you so much, Xiaoxi."
"You're welcome," Ye Qingxi said with a smile. "But Uncle He Yao, why did you let Leilei change the sheets by herself? Children shouldn't be changed by themselves."
He Yao:......
He Yao didn't expect Ye Qingxi to say that.
He must have been told this by He Lei, but when did he ever let He Lei change the sheets by herself?
Wasn't it because she insisted on changing herself when he wasn't looking that she got it dirty?
Now it's all over, making it seem like he doesn't care about her at all.
Does she know this is a TV show being recorded? This is very bad for his reputation!
He Yao grew increasingly disgusted with her.
They're not my biological child after all, they just don't know any better!
He squatted down, staring at the girl in front of him, his voice soft and gentle, showing no sign of dissatisfaction or resentment, but rather sounding like helplessness, "Leilei, why did you say that to Brother Qingxi? You'll make Brother Qingxi misunderstand Dad."
He asked, "Did Dad put on the duvet cover for you? Did Dad change the sheets and duvet cover for you as soon as he entered your bedroom?"
He Lei nodded.
"Yes, how could you tell Qingxi that Dad asked you to change the sheets by yourself? You see, Qingxi really misunderstood because of what you said."
After saying that, he turned to look at Ye Qingxi and laughed. On the surface, he was speaking to Ye Qingxi, but in reality, he was speaking to the camera and the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Xiaoxi, you don't know this, after we entered the house, I gave the master bedroom to Leilei and went to the small bedroom myself. Then I started tidying up and cleaning. I didn't expect that Leilei would suddenly open her suitcase and change the sheets while I was tidying up the room. When I finished and went to find her, I found that she had already taken out the sheets and they were dirty. I was so scared that I immediately wanted to give her my sheets, but she refused. So I wiped the sheets for her, made the bed again, and changed the duvet cover."
After He Yao finished speaking, he turned back to look at He Lei, pretending to be concerned, and said, "Next time before doing these things, baby, you have to tell Daddy first. You see, if you don't tell me, Daddy won't know what to do, and sure enough, something bad happened."
He Yao's fans seized the opportunity to defend him, saying: "He Yao has a point. Lei Lei changed the sheets herself without calling him, so of course he couldn't help her."
[Besides, how can Leilei say that her father didn't help her? He Yao clearly did.]
[Exactly, if I hadn't watched the live stream, I would have really thought He Yao was completely neglecting He Lei, even though He Yao actually takes good care of her.]
[He Yao voluntarily gave the master bedroom to He Lei, and went to find her as soon as he finished his work. He Lei didn't say anything when she stained the sheets, and even told her not to blame herself, offering to exchange her own sheets for hers. Wasn't he doing all that well? Why is he scolding him?]
[I don't understand. He Yao offered to change the sheets for her, but He Lei refused. Then Ye Qingxi offered to lend them to her, and He Lei was overjoyed? What, does she dislike He Yao's sheets? Or does she simply dislike He Yao?]
[Borrowing Ye Qingxi's bedsheets is one thing, but why did Mu Shaowu have to come too?! How awkward! It's not like she doesn't have her own father!]
[Yes, isn't this a slap in the face to He Yao? He Yao must be feeling terrible.]
[Ugh, what was He Lei thinking? Did she forget that He Yao changed her bed sheet and the sheets too?! How could He Yao not change them for her? Why did she have to send Mu Shaowu over?!]
I suddenly disliked He Lei.
Listening to He Yao's witty remarks, Ye Qingxi felt that he was quite eloquent, managing to absolve himself of all responsibility with just a few words, making it seem as if He Lei was being unreasonable and presumptuous as to try to change the sheets herself.
“Leilei changed the sheets herself because she’s a good girl,” Ye Qingxi said softly. “She was probably too embarrassed to bother you, Uncle He, so she thought she could do it herself. Leilei was thinking of you, Uncle He.”
"If you help Leilei tidy up her bedroom first, or if you tell Leilei when you're tidying up your own bedroom, so she knows you'll help her later, she naturally won't change the sheets herself."
"Uncle He, why didn't you help Leilei change first? You didn't even tell Leilei to wait. Would you help her? You've already made your bed, so of course Leilei is embarrassed to let you take it down for her to use."
He Yao: ...Why didn't he help He Lei first, or tell her that he would help her and ask her to wait? Of course, it's because he didn't have that awareness.
He and He Lei had only just met; he wasn't really her father.
For Yu Heyao, apart from setbacks in the entertainment industry, he has always had a smooth and pampered life since childhood.
He was born to his parents, and as their firstborn child, he naturally enjoyed all the pampering and love before He Han was born.
Later, He Han was born. He Han was a girl. Although He's parents said they would treat both of them equally, they would unconsciously favor He Yao a little more.
By the time He Guang was born, He Yao had already grown up and was doing quite well in terms of grades and appearance. In comparison, the young He Guang was much more mischievous, so much so that He Yao's parents still loved him the most.
With his parents' favoritism, his younger siblings' respect, and his teachers and classmates' friendliness, He Yao naturally became somewhat self-centered.
At home, He's mother cooks, and He Han helps with the cooking. He's mother and He Han will ask He Guang to help serve the dishes, but they won't ask He Yao to help.
Even when doing housework, He Han would pull his younger brother He Guang along, but would never trouble his older brother.
Therefore, for He Yao, he only needs to take care of himself, and he is used to taking care of himself first when doing things.
Being able to take care of He Lei and think of He Lei is already quite an achievement for He Yao.
It's quite difficult to get him to prioritize He Lei in everything, to consider He Lei before himself. At least, He Yao doesn't have that awareness yet.
Hearing Ye Qingxi's words, He Lei's "mommy fans" immediately stood up: [Yeah, that's why he didn't clean Lei Lei's room first, but instead cleaned his own, without even telling Lei Lei. It's like his job was done once he gave her the master bedroom!]
He had already made the bed himself, and then, feigning concern, asked Leilei if she wanted him to change her sheets. How could Leilei possibly agree?
[He almost dropped Leilei, and she was already shaken and scared, so she didn't dare bother him. Since he wouldn't help the child, what could Leilei do? She had to do it herself!]
Leilei waited in her bedroom for a while, constantly looking towards the door. Finally, realizing her father wouldn't come, she changed the sheets herself. If He Yao had told her beforehand that he would come to tidy her room after he finished, she wouldn't have changed the sheets herself.
To put it bluntly, it's all because He Yao hasn't been a good father. Besides him, who else prioritizes their own needs before their child's? Any parent with children will take care of their child first!
He Yao didn't even need to look to know that someone in the live stream would definitely be unhappy with him because of Ye Qingxi's words.
So he deliberately played the victim, saying, "Xiao Xi, are you blaming your uncle? I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't know Lei Lei would be angry about this, and I even thought I was deliberately trying not to help her. Uncle apologizes to you and Lei Lei. Can you forgive your uncle?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi thought he was really good at making tea.
It made it seem like he and He Lei were being unreasonable.
He said innocently, "Uncle, what are you talking about? I didn't blame you. I just remembered my dad saying that it was his first time being a father, so sometimes he might not do things well and I would have to remind him. I thought you were like that too, that you needed us, the babies, to remind you, but it turns out that's not the case."
He Yao:......
He Yao was speechless.
How should he respond to that?
Can he say no?
Honestly! Why doesn't Ye Qingxi play by the rules?!
Not only do they not play by the rules, they also always manage to deflect his main points with minimal effort!
Helpless, He Yao could only smile and say, "Of course I need the baby's reminder too, after all, this is my first time being a father."
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Yes, I knew my dad was right."
"My dad is amazing, right, Uncle?"
He Yao: ...To you my foot!
He Yao felt a tightness in his chest.
Damn it, after all that talking, the final point was that Mu Shaowu was right, Mu Shaowu is amazing.
Then what is he?
A stepping stone for Mu Shaowu?!
Is it to make Mu Shaowu's statement seem like a stupid excuse?
That's outrageous!
Ye Qingxi blinked innocently and asked in confusion, "Uncle He, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you think my dad is right? My dad is amazing, isn't he? You just said you needed it too."
He Yao:......
Mu Shaowu almost burst out laughing.
The viewers in the live stream couldn't help but burst into laughter: [Xiao Xi, it's not enough for you to praise your dad yourself, you have to make others praise him with you!]
[Xiao Xi: Hurry, hurry, praise my dad!]
[Xiaoxi: What did you say? You said my dad is super awesome?]
[Hahaha, look how happy our dad is, he can barely stop smiling.]
[What's wrong with He Yao? Tell me quickly! Can't you see Xiao Xi's expectant face?!]
[Exactly, why hasn't he said anything yet! It wouldn't kill him to praise Mu Shaowu!]
What can He Yao do?
He Yao could only reluctantly and sullenly say, "Teacher Mu is right."
This time, Mu Shaowu couldn't help but burst out laughing—and he really did.
Mu Shaowu could imagine the frustration He Yao was feeling right now.
But he had no choice but to speak.
Unfortunately, his son didn't do it on purpose.
Thinking about it that way, it's even funnier!
He Yao heard his laughter and immediately looked at him, feeling that he was being openly mocked.
In that instant, shame, anger, frustration, resentment, and hatred surged into his heart all at once.
He Yao regretted it; he shouldn't have said that!
"What are you laughing at, Teacher Mu? Do you think I'm funny?" He Yao asked, his pride sensitive.
Mu Shaowu chuckled, "I'm happy when my son praises me. I'm even happier when my son gets others to praise me too. When I'm happy, I just laugh."
"What, is it that I can't laugh?" Mu Shaowu asked, looking puzzled.
He Yao:......
Ye Qingxi quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I love Daddy's smile. Daddy looks so handsome when he smiles! He's the most handsome dad in the whole world!"
Mu Shaowu laughed even more heartily.
The viewers in the live stream laughed along: 【Haha, Xiaoxi, you're so cute!】
Look at Xiao Xi's mouth! Tsk tsk tsk, she easily charmed her dad into having a pert mouth!
[I'm not exaggerating, Xiaoxi is really good at providing emotional support!]
I've never seen a kid who praises their parents so much!
I've seen people showing off their kids, but I've never seen a dad showing off his dad [facepalm]
[Xiao Xi: I'll protect my dad's right to smile! My dad looks so handsome when he smiles, so he should smile more!]
[Haha, I agree! Mu Shaowu's smile is indeed very handsome!]
Putting everything else aside, Mu Shaowu's face is truly impeccable!
Our little Xi's face is flawless!
Our little Xi's personality is impeccable too~
I can't imagine how happy Mu Shaowu must be to hear his son praising him like that every day!
Look at his worthless laugh, tsk tsk!
However, if it were me, I'd be even less valuable [facepalm]
Me too!
He Yao was caught off guard by the combined punches from Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi, father and son.
The main one is Ye Qingxi!
Mu Shaowu is easy to talk to, but Ye Qingxi is really a bit different from the other children.
Talking to him won't achieve the desired effect at all.
So He Yao picked up the bed sheet from He Lei's arms and turned to walk into the house.
"I'll go change Leilei's sheets."
Seeing this, Ye Qingxi pulled He Lei along and followed behind him.
He hasn't had enough of praising and criticizing yet!
In the book, He Yao climbs up the social ladder by stepping on the blood and tears of his family.
Now, it's reasonable for him to criticize He Yao and praise his father, right?
Seeing Ye Qingxi pull He Lei into the house, Mu Shaowu could only follow his son inside.
As soon as Mu Shaowu entered He Lei's bedroom, he sensed something was wrong.
He left He Lei's bedroom and then went to look at the small bedroom that He Yao had left for him next door.
I was speechless again.
However, before he could speak, Ye Qingxi, who was in He Lei's room, noticed something and said, "Lei Lei, your room is so creepy."
He Lei looked confused and asked, "Huh?"
"Don't you find it creepy?"
Ye Qingxi touched her arm. It was afternoon, and the sun hadn't even set yet, but the room was cold and damp.
He realized something almost instantly, ran out of He Lei's room and came to He Yao's room. Sure enough, this room didn't have that cold feeling.
“Uncle He,” Ye Qingxi ran back and said crisply to He Yao, who was picking up the soiled sheets to change them, “would you like to switch rooms with Leilei? Leilei is a child, and the TV said that children shouldn’t live in such cold and damp rooms. They should live in rooms with sunlight, rooms where the sun can shine in. This room doesn’t have that, but your room does.”
He Yao almost gave him a suffocating performance on the spot: ...Here we go again!
When will he ever stop?!
Can you please leave him alone?!
