Chapter 193 (Updated 1931) (with comments)
193:
He Yao:! ! ! !
He Yao felt a sudden darkness before his eyes!
Why is he pricking himself?!
I even got a needle prick after my afternoon nap!
That's just a few hours away!
He Yao was so angry that he wanted to shut Ye Qingxi up, but he couldn't actually say those words to her, so he could only hold it in with frustration.
He Lei nodded happily. Her father had finally figured it out, so she wouldn't have to bother anyone else anymore.
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaowu looked at He Yao with a leisurely air. "Is that so? Then I'd like to see what kind of braid He Yao can give He Lei this afternoon."
Just as he finished thinking this, Yang Jin and Yang Shu came in.
"Oh, you guys are here pretty early," Yang Jin said with a smile.
He Yao: ...Is it possible that you arrived too late?!
Honestly, if Yang Jin had come sooner, Mu Shaowu wouldn't have had a chance!
Thinking of this, He Yao couldn't help but feel a bit resentful towards Yang Jin.
"I had nothing to do after dinner, so I came over," Tao Rui replied with a smile.
As they were talking, the father-son pairs Hu Kai and Huo Zinan, and Zhang Ye and Zhang Ning also arrived.
Once everyone had arrived, the host briefly checked their makeup and prepared to begin recording.
"Welcome, dads and babies! Did you sleep well last night?" the host asked.
Zhang Ning and Tao Tao shouted in unison, "Okay!"
"not good."
Zhang Ning: ? ? ?
"You didn't sleep well?" He looked down at Tao Tao.
Tao Tao nodded, annoyed, "We have mosquitoes in our house! They bit my butt!"
The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.
Ye Qingxi couldn't help but smile.
The host chuckled twice, "Then Uncle will give you the mosquito repellent in a bit. Take it home and spray it on, and no mosquitoes will bite your little bottom tonight!"
"Okay," Tao Tao said happily, "Thank you, Uncle."
"You're welcome," the host said with a smile.
"We've had breakfast. Would you all like to have a hearty lunch?" he asked again.
Tao Tao immediately answered excitedly, "Yes!"
"Then it's time for Dad and baby to work together!"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Ning didn't quite understand. "How do I work hard?"
"What I mean is that we are about to start a parent-child game competition. The baby and dad will be in a team to complete the game together. The first place gets six points, the second place gets five points, and so on. There are three rounds of the competition. After the three rounds, the dad and baby with the highest total score will be the first to choose the ingredients prepared by the program team, and the dad and baby with the lowest total score will have to accept the remaining ingredients chosen by everyone else."
"Does everyone have the confidence to take first place?!"
"Yes!" Zhang Ning shouted.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi also became somewhat interested.
A parent-child games competition?
I don't know which games are available?
Did they play any of these games at the sports meet before?
He looked at the host curiously, only to see the host snap his fingers and say, "Without further ado, let's begin our first round of parent-child games—Telepathy."
"In this round of the game, the children will act out and give hints based on the words on the cards they see. Note: the children's hints cannot contain any words that are part of the words. Each correct guess earns one point, and the child with the most points wins."
"Next, let's sign to decide the order."
After the host finished speaking, the staff brought up the lottery box that had been prepared in advance.
Mu Shaowu looked at Ye Qingxi and said, "Go and draw one."
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao pulled Ye Qingxi towards the lottery box.
He drew a lot first, and Ye Qingxi followed suit.
"What number are you?" Tao Tao asked curiously.
Ye Qingxi showed him the number written on the bottom of the slip of paper.
"It's 3. Then I'm ahead of you, I'm 2."
"Who is number 1?" Tao Tao asked curiously.
Huo Zinan spread out the slip of paper in his hand, "I am number 1."
"Then you're the first one, keep it up!" Tao Tao encouraged him.
Huo Zinan raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Of course."
The match began quickly.
Huo Zinan looked at the words on the whiteboard and gestured to Hu Kai for a while.
Hu Kai: ? ? ? What does that mean?
Huo Zinan was so anxious that he wished he could just draw a picture to show Hu Kai, but the more anxious he was, the less Hu Kai could guess.
Huo Zinan: ...He told me that his current role as a temporary dad wasn't good enough!
He wants a new dad!
In the end, Huo Zinan and Hu Kai only scored eight points due to their unfamiliarity with each other.
Upon seeing this, Tao Tao suddenly became somewhat nervous.
He leaned closer to Ye Qingxi and whispered, "My dad and I won't only get eight points, will we?"
"No, it won't happen." Ye Qingxi comforted him, "Huo Zinan and his temporary dad have only known each other for a short time, while you and your dad have been together for so many years. You two are definitely more in sync than they are. Keep it up!"
Tao Tao thought he was right and confidently walked to the other side of the whiteboard.
However, when the host announced, "The competition begins," Tao Tao looked at the words on the whiteboard and suddenly felt that he and his father were not so in sync.
"Oh dear, how should I explain this to you?" Tao Tao scratched his head.
Tao Rui: ? ? ?
Tao Rui: ...
"Say it however you want, just say it!"
"It's a car... that kind of..."
"The word 'car' is repeated, next one," the host announced.
Tao Tao: !!!
Tao Rui: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi sighed, "This ended way too fast!"
The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter: 【Tao Tao, why did you foul right from the start!】
[Hilarious! Keep it up, Tao Tao!]
Tao Tao looked at the new words on the whiteboard and scratched his head in frustration.
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!" he cried anxiously.
"Firefighters?" Tao Rui looked at him.
"That car," Tao Tao prompted.
After saying that, Tao Tao immediately covered his mouth and looked at the host in a panic.
The host was both amused and exasperated, "The word 'car' is repeated, next one."
Tao Tao: ...
Tao Tao felt like he was about to cry.
Tao Rui, standing opposite him, felt like he was about to cry too. If things continued like this, he was afraid he wouldn't get any points.
However, after committing the foul twice, Tao Tao finally remembered that he couldn't repeat the same word, and he remained cautious with subsequent prompts.
In the end, they narrowly defeated Huo Zinan by one point.
He relented and wiped the cyber sweat from his forehead.
"Remember this, you absolutely must not say any words that are in that phrase," Tao Tao reminded Ye Qingxi after they returned.
Ye Qingxi nodded, rest assured, he wouldn't make that kind of mistake again.
Ye Qingxi walked to the opposite side of the whiteboard and stood there.
Mu Shaowu stood on the right side in front of the whiteboard.
"Are you ready?" the host asked.
“I’m ready,” Ye Qingxi replied.
"The match begins!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the staff immediately put a word on the whiteboard.
Ye Qingxi glanced at it, turned around, put her hands on her hips, and raised her right foot in a kicking motion.
"Let's play football," Mu Shaowu said.
"Remove one word."
"Let's play football!" Mu Shaowu said without hesitation.
"Correct answer, next!"
The staff quickly pasted the new words over the old ones.
Ye Qingxi watched, then raised her right hand and began to stir-fry.
"Stir-fry!"
"Correct answer, next."
This time, Ye Qingxi put her hands together and looked down.
"Read a book."
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "It's more formal."
"Reading?" Mu Shaowu guessed.
"Correct answer, next!"
Wow! They're so fast!
[Basically, Mu Shaowu can guess what Xiao Xi means just by gesturing!]
[What a perfect understanding!]
"But how do you gesture this?" a viewer in the live stream asked worriedly after seeing the newly posted phrase.
Ye Qingxi looked at Mu Shaowu, spread her arms to the sides, then down, and asked him, "Where do the adults go to work every day?"
"The company," Mu Shaowu replied.
"Correct answer, next!"
[Is this even possible?!]
[It seems like it might actually work. Xiaoxi is gesturing towards a house, and then hinting to Mu Shaowu where he should work!]
[Is this a house? I don't recognize it!]
[But this hint is quite obvious, isn't it? It sounds like a company!]
[You know what, our Xiaoxi is pretty smart!]
Mu Shaowu thought so too!
His son is really smart; this company is not easy to compare, but a hint makes it very obvious!
Ye Qingxi didn't have time to think about these things; he was looking at the newly posted words.
He lowered his head, made a pen-holding motion with his right hand, and drew in the air, "Before my summer vacation, I have to have my final exams—"
"take an exam."
"Correct answer, next question!"
Ye Qingxi made a running motion, "My aunt said that my uncle has some kind of very developed nerves."
"sports?"
"Correct answer, next question!"
"What does my aunt love to eat the most?" Ye Qingxi asked, making a circle with her hands.
"cake?"
"Correct answer, next question!"
Wow! Their accuracy rate is incredible!
[The main thing is that Xiaoxi's little brain works really fast! He uses gestures for what he can, and he mainly relies on hints for what he can't!]
[Furthermore, their family relationship must be very good, otherwise how could Xiaoxi instantly recall what her aunt said, and Mu Shaowu also get it!]
What is telepathy? This is telepathy!
To be honest, if Mu Shaowu hadn't revealed Ye Qingxi's background at the very beginning, I really wouldn't have been able to tell that Ye Qingxi wasn't his biological daughter.
[Absolutely! Their relationship is so natural and harmonious. Whether it's sharing breakfast like steamed egg custard and fried rice, or their unhesitating questions and answers right now, they seem to have a better relationship than a biological father and son!]
[And they're sleeping in the same room!!! Xiao Xi is that age, and she's not even their biological child; they could easily sleep separately! But they're sleeping together!]
Yes, they slept in the same room at home when they set off!
[Stop talking, I'm shipping this father-son relationship! Who says Shao Wu and Xiao Xi aren't biological father and son? They clearly are!]
[Exactly! The bond between Shaowu and Xiaoxi is absolutely no weaker than that between any other biological father and son!]
As the competition drew to a close, Ye Qingxi looked at the newly posted words, raised her hand, curled her fingers, brought the base of her palm together, placed it on either side of her head, and smiled at Mu Shaowu: "Two words..."
"Adorable!" Mu Shaowu interrupted before he could finish, "Baby, you're just too adorable!"
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi was both amused and exasperated. "No, it's because we plant them in the yard. There are many varieties, and my aunt really likes them."
"Flowers?" Mu Shaowu guessed.
Ye Qingxi nodded.
Mu Shaowu was speechless. "Then it's better to be cute. I think this is what cute should be."
[I think so too!] A viewer in the live stream agreed, [Xiao Xi was just so cute!]
Yes! Super cute!
[Screenshot taken, these are limited-edition adorable flower babies~]
Ye Qingxi was amused by his words. He looked at the newly coined words and raised his hand to gesture them again.
"A spinning top?" Mu Shaowu guessed.
"Correct answer, next question."
“It has wheels,” Ye Qingxi gestured to him, “110, take the bad guys away.”
"police car?"
"The last one," the host announced, looking at the countdown.
Ye Qingxi looked at the newly posted words and remained silent for two seconds.
The live stream audience burst into laughter: [LOL, how could it be this!]
Did Mu Shaowu foresee the outcome?
[Hahaha, I'm so curious how Xiaoxi will gesture!]
Ye Qingxi: ...
How could Ye Qingxi possibly make those gestures?
Ye Qingxi could only do what she had just done: bend her five fingers, put the base of her palms together, and place them on either side of her face, saying, "Just as you guessed."
"Those two words you think should be it."
Mu Shaowu instantly understood, "Cute!"
He laughed. "I told you you were cute like this, didn't you? Don't you think so too?"
Standing next to Mu Shaowu, Tao Tao nodded vigorously, "Mmm, so cute~"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi's ears turned slightly red without her noticing.
Isn't it cute?
Ye Qingxi thought, "It's not that cute, is it?"
Isn't this just a very simple action?
His dad actually thought it was cute?
"Time's up!" the host announced.
Ye Qingxi then seemed to wake up from a dream, put down her hand, and ran back to where she had been standing.
Mu Shaowu then walked over as well.
He stood beside Ye Qingxi, bent down, then raised his hand, curled his fingers, and made the same gesture as Ye Qingxi had just made, tilting his head to look at Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi was immediately amused by him.
"Isn't it cute?" Mu Shaowu asked him.
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "Not cute."
"How could that be?" Mu Shaowu didn't believe it. "You look so cute when you do it, Daddy will definitely look cute too~"
"Maybe it's because Daddy isn't cute, so he doesn't look cute either~" Ye Qingxi said playfully, which was uncharacteristically her way of doing things.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu narrowed his eyes, "You're finished!"
The next second, Mu Shaowu reached out and tickled Ye Qingxi's waist.
Ye Qingxi turned and ran, but Mu Shaowu grabbed her and held her in his arms, scratching her fiercely.
"Isn't Daddy cute?" Mu Shaowu asked him while scratching him. "Isn't he cute?"
Ye Qingxi chuckled and nodded gently.
Cute~
His dad is really cute~
