Chapter 192: 1922 Combined (Many comments)
One hundred and ninety-two:
Ye Qingxi walked out of the bedroom, went into the bathroom, and began to wash up.
He washed up quickly and came out of the bathroom in no time. He went back to the bedroom and started picking out clothes.
The pajamas Ye Qingxi is wearing now were bought for him by Mu Shaoting.
Mu Shaoting thought he was cute, so she bought him pajamas, all of which were Little Prince style, with a courtly feel and a bit flashy.
Lantern sleeves, ruffles, and even a large bow tie at the neckline.
But Ye Qingxi is beautiful, so wearing it not only doesn't look out of place, but also makes her look quite elegant.
Ye Qingxi was going out to record a variety show, and Mu Shaoyan couldn't come along, so she insisted that he bring a set of pajamas that she had bought for him, as if he, as her uncle, was keeping him company.
Upon seeing this, Mu Shaoting immediately stuffed the pajamas he had bought for Ye Qingxi into the pajamas as well, saying, "Just think of it as your aunt being by your side."
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu was speechless. "This is 'Look the Daddy,' not 'Look the Uncle' or 'Look the Aunt'!"
However, his younger siblings completely ignored him.
"Don't worry, I won't look at you," Mu Shaoting said.
Mu Shaoyan also said, "I only look at the son!"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu packed up his younger brother and sister-in-law and threw them out.
However, Ye Qingxi still packed the pajamas they had chosen into his suitcase—after all, it was a token of his aunt and uncle's good intentions.
After taking a shower last night, Ye Qingxi casually changed into the pajamas that Mu Shaoting had bought for her.
It has to be said that these pajamas really suit Ye Qingxi. Ye Qingxi is already beautiful, and now wearing this outfit makes her look even more adorable and lovely. So much so that when the "Cloud Mom" in the live stream saw it, she couldn't help but ask for the link.
[Whose pajamas are these? I want to buy them too!]
[Xiao Xi looks absolutely gorgeous in that outfit! Mu Shaowu really knows how to dress our baby!]
[I feel like I could wear it if it were a size larger!]
【Wouldn't that mean we could buy matching outfits for the baby?】
【It's okay if they don't have larger sizes, my baby can wear it!】
[These pajamas actually match Mu Shaowu's bathrobe from yesterday quite well.]
[Haha, it really is! One is black and the other is white, and both are made of silk.]
[Could this be one of Dad's little schemes?]
Mu's father certainly has his own little schemes, but he doesn't use them here.
"Here you go." Mu Shaowu handed him a set of short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
Ye Qingxi took the clothes, looked at them in her hand, then at the clothes Mu Shaowu was wearing, and the more she looked, the more similar they seemed...
"Matching outfits for parents and children?!" someone in the live stream speculated.
[It really is true! The bottom right corner of Mu Shaowu's short-sleeved shirt features a sycamore tree with falling leaves, while Xiao Xi's short-sleeved shirt has a leaf on it.]
[Really! I was wondering why Mu Shaowu was suddenly wearing such a simple short-sleeved shirt today; it turns out it was to match Xiao Xi's outfit!]
[Hahaha, Mu Shaowu, you're so cunning!]
Ye Qingxi was both amused and exasperated.
Well, now his dad finally has matching outfits with him.
Only with him!
Ye Qingxi turned to the cameraman and said, "Brother, I need to change my clothes. Could you please leave for a moment?"
"Okay," the cameraman replied.
The director who was filming followed him out.
Mu Shaowu closed the door, checked the cameras inside the room to make sure they were off, and then told Ye Qingxi to change out of her pajamas.
Ye Qingxi quickly took off her pajamas, changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and put on her sandals.
Mu Shaowu walked to Ye Qingxi's side, stood still, and looked down at the short-sleeved shirt he was wearing.
The height difference between the two was obvious, so when the fallen leaves in Mu Shaowu's lower right corner fell, it looked as if they landed on Ye Qingxi's clothes.
When these two pieces of clothing are separate, the parent-child matching effect may not be so obvious, but when put together, they are a very clear parent-child matching outfit.
"Do you like it?" Mu Shaowu asked Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi looked at herself and Mu Shaowu in the mirror and nodded.
Mu Shaowu laughed, "I like it quite a bit too."
He reached out and hugged Ye Qingxi, saying in a light and cheerful voice, "This time it's not just casual clothes, it's matching family outfits."
Ye Qingxi was amused by him; her father really cared!
"Mmm," Ye Qingxi said softly.
While casual homewear is great, matching family outfits also have their advantages.
Ye Qingxi occasionally longs for intimate moments with Mu Shaowu, since Mu Shaowu is her father.
But a father is always different for a child.
The father and son admired themselves in the mirror for a while with satisfaction before leaving the bedroom.
The viewers in the live stream had been eagerly anticipating seeing how Ye Qingxi would look in these matching outfits, and upon seeing them, they were instantly amazed:
【cute! 】
[Mu Shaowu has good taste; Xiao Xi looks quite cute in this short-sleeved shirt.]
With Xiaoxi's face, she looks adorable in anything! [facepalm]
That's true! But these matching outfits for kids look like I could wear them too!
[Haha, that's what I was thinking too! Is there a link to this? I want to buy it too!]
[I've already bought two pieces of clothing from Xiaoxi; her ability to influence purchases is truly amazing!]
[Xiao Xi just wasn't known by children's clothing brands before. Once this variety show ends, many brands will definitely want him to be their spokesperson!]
"That's right! If I were in the clothing industry, I'd make Xiaoxi my global brand ambassador right now!"
Mu Shaoting, who was watching the live stream: ? ? ?
No, when did her brother buy these matching family outfits? How come she didn't know?
Mu Shaoting picked up her phone and sent a message to Mu Shaowu: 【When did you buy the matching family outfits?】
Mu Shaoting: [Send me the link.]
Mu Shaowu, of course, did not give her the link—his phone was still in the hands of the production team.
Even if he has his phone in his hand, he will just pretend he didn't see it.
Just kidding, he doesn't want to turn his and his son's matching outfits into family clothes again!
Wearing matching outfits with his child, Mu Shaowu entered the kitchen, looking beautiful, ready to start today's show time!
For breakfast this morning, he planned to steam an egg custard for Ye Qingxi, and stir-fry the leftover rice from last night for himself.
He steamed egg custard for Ye Qingxi first, and then started making his fried rice.
The viewers in the live stream watched his skillful movements and felt somewhat incredulous.
Even though I already knew he could cook, I was still very surprised to see it with my own eyes!
[Absolutely! I was shocked when I saw him cooking last night, and I was even more shocked when I saw him steaming egg custard today!]
[How could Mu Shaowu know how to cook? It's unbelievable!]
Soon, Mu Shaowu brought out the breakfast for the two of them.
He got these eggs from Tao Tao. Yesterday, Mu Shaowu helped Tao Rui fix the window, and Tao Rui gave him the second most valuable egg in the house as a thank you (the most valuable instant noodles were hidden by Tao Tao).
Mu Shaowu accepted some of the eggs, considering that he really didn't have any at home.
But since he had taken their ingredients, and the Tao family father and son weren't coming over for breakfast that morning, Mu Shaowu boiled four eggs, intending to give them to the Tao family father and son for breakfast later.
Ye Qingxi looked at the fried rice in Mu Shaowu's bowl and felt a little hungry.
"Dad, I'd like to have some of your breakfast too." He blinked his beautiful eyes at Mu Shaowu.
How could Mu Shaowu resist his cuteness? Upon hearing this, he immediately grabbed a small bowl and scooped some out for him.
"That's too much," Ye Qingxi said with some concern. "I also want to eat steamed egg custard; I can't finish it all."
"It's okay." Mu Shaowu pushed the small bowl in front of him. "Eat as much as you can, and Dad will eat the rest."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
He then picked up a spoon and began eating steamed egg custard, fried rice, and yogurt.
"So, which do you prefer, steamed egg custard or fried rice?" Mu Shaowu asked him.
"They're all delicious." Ye Qingxi smiled at him.
"Really? Then Dad will try a spoonful of your steamed egg custard."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
Mu Shaowu picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful. It was quite good, with a soft and tender texture and a fresh and fragrant taste.
"It's a pity there's no seafood here, otherwise I could add it for you."
"It's okay~" Ye Qingxi said sweetly, "It tastes just like this~"
After Ye Qingxi finished speaking, she scooped up another spoonful of steamed egg custard and ate it happily.
The audience, who had just woken up and hadn't eaten yet, suddenly felt hungry as they watched him eat bite after bite.
Xiaoxi is eating so deliciously, it makes me want some steamed egg custard too!
[Absolutely! If Xiaoxi started a mukbang (eating broadcast), the viewership would definitely be high!]
[Xiao Xi is so well-behaved; she doesn't need anyone to coax her to eat.]
[Not only does he not need to be coaxed, he's also very good at coaxing people!]
[Exactly, she even says it tastes delicious as it is now; she's such a good source of emotional value.]
However, Mu Shaowu's steamed egg custard does look quite appealing!
His fried rice looks pretty good!
[Yes, it looks much more delicious than what He Yao cooked yesterday.]
[Haha, it reminds me of He Yao's fried rice, which was so hard and salty, yet he insisted it was delicious.]
Compared to He Yao, Mu Shaowu is simply perfect!
After finishing his meal, Mu Shaowu washed the dishes and then received the mission card.
A new day has begun. Dads and babies, please arrive at the open space where we had our house-hunting competition yesterday before 9:30 AM. Don't be late!
Mu Shaowu glanced at the time; it was only 8:40.
He calmly packed the eggs he had brought for Tao Rui and his son, then took Ye Qingxi's hand and went out the door.
Tao Rui and Tao Tao saw them from afar and quickly called out, "Teacher Mu, Xiao Xi."
"Ye Qingxi, Uncle Mu!"
Tao Tao ran towards them while shouting.
Mu Shaowu stopped in his tracks upon hearing the sound.
Ye Qingxi looked back and saw that although Tao Tao was fat, he ran around quite fast and was a nimble little fat boy.
"Good morning, Ye Qingxi," Tao Tao greeted him.
"Good morning," Ye Qingxi said with a smile.
He really couldn't stand Tao Tao calling him "pretty brother" every time they met, so last night he specifically told Tao Tao to just call him Ye Qingxi.
Tao Tao was easy to talk to and changed it that very night.
"Ye Qingxi, have you had breakfast?" Tao Tao asked, looking at him.
"have eaten."
"What are you eating?" Tao Tao asked curiously.
"Steamed egg custard, and my dad's fried rice."
Tao Tao's saliva started dripping down again instantly.
"And you?" Ye Qingxi asked in return.
“I ate too,” Tao Tao said. “I ate small bread rolls and yogurt.”
Ye Qingxi said "Oh," as expected. The breakfast was from the title sponsor of the yogurt and the sponsor of the bread rolls. This morning, when he walked out of his bedroom, he found that there were quite a few bread rolls on the table. The filming director said that if they didn't want to make breakfast, they could eat these.
Ye Qingxi didn't like it much, and neither did Mu Shaowu, so Mu Shaowu still chose to cook.
But for dads like Tao Rui who can't cook, and for babies who want to eat the messy meals their dad makes, bread and yogurt are naturally better.
"Can you eat anything else?" Ye Qingxi asked him. "My dad cooked eggs for you and your dad."
Tao Tao: !!!
Tao Tao's eyes lit up: "I can do it!"
Tao Rui exclaimed with delight, "Teacher Mu, you even boiled eggs for us!"
Mu Shaowu smiled and handed them the eggs he was carrying. "I just boiled these when I got up to cook this morning. Consider it a thank you for giving us the eggs."
"Teacher Mu, you're too kind. You helped us so much yesterday, what's a little bit of eggs?"
“Exactly,” Tao Tao added. “Uncle Mu, you know to get up and cook breakfast in the morning. My dad was still sleeping and didn’t even know it was already dawn. Everyone’s here. If you ask me, we should give you all the eggs. If we kept them, they would have hatched into chicks by now!”
Tao Rui: ...
Tao Rui was so angry that he wanted to kick his troublesome son.
However, what Tao Tao said was true. He originally wanted to boil some eggs for breakfast today, but he got up too late and was too lazy to cook. Fortunately, the program team said that there was bread that could be eaten with yogurt, so Tao Rui did not hesitate to choose to eat bread and yogurt with his son.
Unexpectedly, Mu Shaowu actually cooked eggs for the two of them!
What a kind person!
"Thank you, Teacher Mu," Tao Rui said gratefully.
"Need not."
Mu Shaowu smiled and walked forward with Tao Rui.
Tao Rui, mindful of his image, held the egg but didn't eat it.
Tao Tao didn't care about any of that and peeled the shells as he walked.
He walked beside Ye Qingxi and asked her generously, "Ye Qingxi, do you want some? This is peeled, you can have it if you want."
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "I'm full."
“That’s true,” Tao Tao nodded, “You’re eating so well.”
After he finished speaking, he asked excitedly, "Does that mean I can have lunch with you all today?"
Ye Qingxi nodded.
Tao Tao clapped his chubby little hands and exclaimed, "Yay! I want to eat something delicious too!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely eat very little, not much."
"It's okay, you can eat more," Ye Qingxi said generously.
“No way.” Tao Tao shook his head. “I want to lose weight. I want to be as thin as you. That’s what looks good.”
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi looked at his round, peach-like little body.
That... might be a bit difficult.
The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter: "Tao Tao, you've got some nerve to dream of being as thin as Xiao Xi!"
[You keep saying you're as thin as Xiaoxi, but you haven't missed a single egg. Is this how you lose weight?]
[Hilarious! Tao Tao, you're my source of joy!]
Before long, the group arrived at the meeting point.
As soon as Ye Qingxi stopped, she heard He Lei's voice, "Brother Qingxi~"
He turned his head, and He Lei had already let go of He Yao's hand and run over.
Ye Qingxi looked at her and noticed that she had changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts today, instead of wearing a skirt, and her hair was no longer in pigtails like yesterday, but was down.
"Why are you wearing your hair down?" Ye Qingxi asked her. "Aren't you hot?"
He Lei: ...
He Lei was hot, of course, but her intern dad didn't know how to braid hair, and neither did she. After struggling for a long time, they could only manage to create an ugly ponytail that was a bit tight on her little head. He Lei felt uncomfortable and it didn't look good, so she simply left it down.
“I don’t know how to braid hair,” she said softly.
"So even your intern dad doesn't know how?" Tao Tao, standing next to Ye Qingxi, blurted out.
He Lei: ...
He Yao had just walked over and overheard Tao Tao's words. He smiled and said, "I tried it, I tried it many times, but I had never done it before, so I was clumsy. In the end, Lei Lei said that she looked good with her hair down, so I did."
After he finished speaking, he looked around and asked in confusion, "Why hasn't Teacher Yang arrived yet? I thought he had a daughter, so I specially brought Leilei's comb and mirror, hoping that Teacher Yang could teach me."
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu thought he really didn't do any homework at all!
Doesn't this variety show allow these trainee dads to know which child they'll be paired with before filming even begins?
He knew he was going to be paired with a little girl, so he definitely had to comb her hair!
You won't even learn this!
Now you're pretending to ask Teacher Yang to teach me, where were you before?
Could it be that you're deliberately putting on an act for the audience because the camera is on you?
Thinking of this, Mu Shaowu laughed.
Since that's the case, then don't blame him for using his stage to showcase his charm!
After all, he really knew a thing or two about braiding hair!
"Give me the comb and mirror," Mu Shaowu said. "Give me the rubber band too, I'll teach you."
He Yao:! ! !
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Viewers in the live stream: ? ? ? !!!
【No, what does he mean? He can do that too?!】
[Mu Shaowu, that's enough already!!! You're acting like a complete stranger to me!]
Good heavens, how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about!
【I don't believe it! The rest is one thing, but how could Mu Shaowu possibly wear braids?! He's not a girl! Ye Qingxi isn't a girl either!】
My God, I'm really curious about you now, bro!
[The entertainment industry has barely developed even a tenth of Mu Shaowu's potential!]
I thought Mu Shaowu was on this variety show: Metamorphosis, but actually he's on this reality show: Show Time!
[Speechless! I'll just give you a proper speechless performance!]
Tao Tao was equally dumbfounded. "Uncle Mu, you can even braid hair?"
"Yes, you can even braid hair?" Ye Qingxi couldn't help but ask herself.
Mu Shaowu looked at Tao Tao and explained to him, "When my sister was little, she would wake up from her afternoon nap and see my mom sleeping, so she would ask my brother and me to braid her hair. Sometimes my brother wasn't there, so I had to braid it for her. If I didn't braid it or didn't do it well, she would cry. If she cried, I was doomed. Over time, she developed this passive skill."
Ye Qingxi chuckled, "So that's what happened in the past?"
"So Uncle can do it too?" he asked curiously.
Mu Shaowu nodded, "He knows much more than I do, so usually when he's around, your aunt doesn't come to see me."
"Does your uncle know how?"
“He won’t,” Mu Shaowu said disdainfully. “He can make your aunt’s hair look like a bird’s nest, which makes your aunt so angry that she won’t allow him to touch her hair.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi couldn't help but laugh.
I really want to see his uncle tie his aunt's hair into a bird's nest!
Back then, both Mu Shaoyan and Mu Shaoting must have been very cute!
"So, Mr. Mu, you only became this person because of your sister!" Tao Rui, a newly minted Mu fan, exclaimed sincerely, "Mr. Mu, you are such a good brother! You are not only good to your son, but also to your sister!"
Viewers in the live stream commented: "[I never expected Mu Shaowu to have a younger sister.]"
[Not only does she have a younger sister, but she also has a younger brother and an older brother!]
Judging from his tone of voice, it seems that his siblings have a very good relationship!
How could it not be good? The brother even braids his sister's hair; what brother would do that?
[Thanks for the invitation, but my brother only ever ruins my hairstyle.]
I wonder if his older brother, younger sister, and younger brother are as good-looking as him!
[Probably, after all, Xiaoxi is very pretty! Their whole family must be good-looking!]
But Xiao Xi isn't their biological daughter! [facepalm]
[Sorry, the father-son relationship looked so natural and sweet that I completely forgot about it, haha.]
Mu Shaowu smiled at Tao Rui's flattering words and reached out to ask He Yaoyao for the comb and hair tie.
He Yao:......
He Yao was speechless.
He specifically brought a comb and rubber bands, intending to use the excuse of learning from Yang Jin to demonstrate his care for He Lei, so that everyone would think he was a good father who cared deeply for He Lei and was willing to learn things he wasn't good at for her sake.
But in the end, it turned into a stage for Mu Shaowu to showcase himself, and everyone thought that Mu Shaowu was really a good older brother.
If he had known, he wouldn't have said that, and he wouldn't have taken those junks.
What can we do now?
We can only let Mu Shaowu shine!
He Yao reluctantly handed over the contents of his pocket, secretly hoping that the other man would make a fatal mistake! The more he wished, the better!
Mu Shaowu took it, grabbed He Lei's hair, and began to comb it.
He Yao focused intently: Car crash, car crash, car crash!
Mu Shaowu carefully combed He Lei's hair.
Several years had passed, so Mu Shaowu didn't overstep his bounds and simply tied He Lei's hair into the same pigtails as yesterday.
"Is that okay?" he asked He Lei.
He Lei looked left and right, then pulled the mirror back to check herself, and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Mu."
"Uncle Mu, your hair is styled just like my mom's," she said happily.
Unlike her and her father, who could only tie their hair high and low, one in front and one behind, one loose and one tight, it was asymmetrical and didn't look good.
"Your mother's braiding looks better," Mu Shaowu said gently.
Just like when Mu Shaoting was a child, the way he and his brother made hairpins was far inferior to what their mother did.
Upon hearing this, He Lei smiled, her expression incredibly sweet and endearing.
He Yao found the smile on her face incredibly irritating.
Are you kidding me?!
He's her temporary dad, yet she's smiling like this at someone else!
Did she actually treat him as a temporary dad?
"He Yao, have you learned it?" Mu Shaowu asked He Yao deliberately after showing off, "Do you need me to demonstrate it for you again in a bit?"
He Yao, who hadn't studied at all: ...
He Yao, who was only busy praying that Mu Shaowu would crash and burn: ...
Ye Qingxi quickly chimed in, "Uncle He Yao, why aren't you saying anything? Haven't you learned it yet? It's okay, my dad is a really nice guy. If you haven't learned it, just tell him boldly, and he'll definitely help you and teach you again."
He Yao:! ! !
He Yao thought he was just too talkative!
"I got it," he said, stubbornly trying to save face.
"That's great, Leilei, your dad can do it now! He can braid your hair tomorrow morning!" Ye Qingxi said, then added, "If you take a nap today, your dad can braid your hair when you wake up!"
