Chapter 202 (Updated 2021, with comments)
202:
Huo Zinan and Yang Shu had already arrived at the orchard entrance.
Hearing a sound, the two of them looked in the direction of the sound and found Ye Qingxi and the others walking over together.
"Why are you here so early?" Zhang Ning asked in surprise.
“My dad went out, so I went out with him,” Yang Shu replied.
Zhang Ning nodded, "Then it's He Lei left?"
"Yes. We have to wait for her to arrive before we can go in."
"Huh?" Zhang Ning asked, puzzled.
“My sister said so.” Yang Shu turned to her filming director, “She said that all the babies have to arrive before they can enter the orchard.”
"Okay." After Zhang Ning finished speaking, he asked them, "Do you guys want to play games? We're just killing time anyway, let's play Eagle Catches Chickens!"
“I’ll be the eagle,” he volunteered.
“Then I’ll be the chicken dad,” Tao Tao readily agreed.
He looked at Ye Qingxi and said, "Xiaoxi, I will protect you."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
You, a five-year-old kid?
However, after looking at Tao Tao's figure, it seemed that it wasn't entirely impossible.
"I'll be the mother hen," Yang Shu said.
After all, besides Zhang Ning, she was the oldest among them, and no matter how Yang Shu thought about it, she felt that she should be the mother hen protecting the other chicks.
Huo Zinan: ? ? ?
No, you really want to play?
“Then you and Tao Tao play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins becomes the mother hen or the father hen,” Zhang Ning said fairly.
Tao Tao quickly waved his hand, "If Sister Yang Shu wants to be the mother hen, then I won't be the father hen."
He looked at Yang Shu, "Sister, you take the role."
"Mm." Yang Shu smiled.
Tao Tao nudged Ye Qingxi with his elbow, "Then you stand in front of me, and I'll stand behind you. I'm fat, so I'll block you."
Ye Qingxi: ...Thank you so much.
"I'll stand behind you," he said.
Tao Tao shook his head. "You're too thin. You'd be arrested right behind me. I ate your food, I can't just eat it for nothing."
Ye Qingxi didn't expect him to say that.
It must be said that Tao Tao is indeed a rare good kid.
She's so young, yet she already has a strong sense of gratitude.
So he didn't refuse and replied, "Okay."
Ye Qingxi was too embarrassed to grab Yang Shu's clothes, not knowing that she was actually a girl, a little girl of six years old—he was an old man with the soul of an eighteen-year-old.
So he turned to Huo Zinan and said, "Huo Zinan, you stand behind Sister Yang Shu, and I'll stand behind you."
"Why?"
Huo Zinan is unwilling; why should he be ordered around?!
"Because this is the safest spot, and you're younger than me, I'll protect you," Ye Qingxi gave a plausible reason.
Huo Zinan: !!!
Who needs his protection?
He's not that much younger than him, okay?
Just three to five months!
Huo Zinan was a little lost for a moment.
Ye Qingxi is really too cunning!
They were giving him potato chips and saying they'd protect him!
Does he realize how difficult this is for him?
How can he still firmly hate him after that!
"Hurry up," Tao Tao called to him, "Come over here and stand properly."
"……knew."
Huo Zinan awkwardly walked up behind Yang Shu.
Yang Shu quickly took off her small basket, and Ye Qingxi and the others also took off their small baskets.
He grabbed the hem of Huo Zinan's short-sleeved shirt.
Huo Zinan: ...This feels so strange.
Huo Zinan couldn't help but turn around and glance at Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi saw him turn his head and gave him a friendly smile.
Huo Zinan: !!!
She looks even better up close!
She looks especially beautiful when she smiles!
Huo Zinan quickly turned his head back. Really, why was she still smiling at him?
Can't I just ignore him or glare at him?!
That's hilarious... what is he going to do?!
Seeing that they were standing in line, Zhang Ning said loudly, "Now I'm going to start arresting you!"
Yang Shu quickly opened her arms.
"Come on~" Tao Tao tilted his head and shouted at him.
The game started instantly.
Zhang Ning ran incredibly fast, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.
Yang Shu stretched out her arm and kept trying to stop him.
Ye Qingxi ran alongside Yang Shu and Huo Zinan, occasionally being suddenly pulled by Tao Tao from behind, her clothes tucked tightly around her stomach.
That's very childish.
But it's also quite interesting.
It's probably because it's been many years since she last played, so Ye Qingxi is actually quite happy right now.
His lips never left his mouth from the start of the game; he kept running around after Huo Zinan, grabbing his clothes.
Zhang Ning acted swiftly, and in no time, he caught Tao Tao, who had stuck out his tail.
His next target is Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi had no choice but to dodge quickly. Fortunately, he had trained with Kuang Jie for a year, so his reaction speed was very high and he could run very fast.
Huo Zinan in front: ...Slow down, slow down.
This is what He Lei saw when she arrived.
She said excitedly, "I want to play too."
Zhang Ning then asked her to join in.
Ye Qingxi wanted her to stand in front of him, but he was too embarrassed to grab her clothes. However, he was afraid that Huo Zinan would not agree if he asked her to stand in front of him, so he didn't say anything.
He Lei grabbed his clothes and ran around with him, laughing happily.
Zhang Ning almost caught her several times, but then felt sorry for her because she was the youngest sister, and withdrew his clutches.
The host went to the father's side, so the children's side was mainly handled by the filming director.
The filming directors checked the time and interrupted them, saying, "Guys, let's play outside some more, okay? It's time to go into the orchard!"
Tao Tao, still thinking about eating grapes, quickly exclaimed, "Okay!"
The others also chimed in, "Great!"
Only the viewers in the live stream were still wanting more: [Is that all? I wanted to watch them play a little longer.]
[Yeah, watching them play makes me want to play too.]
Hahaha, I loved playing this game when I was a kid.
So Tao Tao was the only one arrested in this game?
[You bet, Tao Tao, you're in trouble!]
The live stream room instantly filled with cheerful laughter.
Ye Qingxi picked up her own little basket and then helped He Lei carry hers.
He noticed that He Lei's hair was tied up low, as if it had been tied casually, and asked her, "Didn't your father comb your hair?"
After spending the past two days together, He Lei felt that she had become quite familiar with Ye Qingxi, and that Ye Qingxi and her father always took care of her. Therefore, she felt more relaxed with Ye Qingxi than with other people.
She shook her head and explained, "Dad He doesn't know how to comb it. He tried several times, but it didn't look good, so I stopped him and just left my hair down. It was hot on the way, so I just tied it up."
Ye Qingxi knew it.
With this, He Yao still dares to say that he has learned it?
“Your dad said he had learned it this morning, and I thought he really had. Turns out he hadn’t. Why did he say that?”
He Lei thought so too.
She thought her father really knew it, but it turned out he was lying to her.
[I knew he wouldn't, and sure enough!] A viewer in the live stream chimed in again.
[How could He Yao do this? Can we still trust anything he says from now on?]
[No way, if that were true, Leilei would be wearing pigtails right now.]
[If you don't know, you don't know. It's ridiculous that you claim you do.]
[Yeah, if he doesn't know how, he can just ask Mu Shaowu to teach him a few more times. Does he expect Mu Shaowu to braid Leilei's hair every day?!]
How could he possibly let Mu Shaowu teach him a few more times? Didn't you see that ever since the house dispute, he's been trying to beat Mu Shaowu?
[Seriously, can't He Yao recognize his own limitations? Compared to Mu Shaowu, is he even worthy?]
The key issue is that Mu Shaowu completely ignores him [facepalm]
[Exactly, I don't know what's wrong with him? He just lost the house dispute, but plenty of people have lost to Mu Shaowu, and I haven't seen anyone else watching him so closely, constantly trying to surpass him.]
[As expected, there's a reason why it's so burnt!]
Ye Qingxi looked at He Lei's hair. It was a pity that he didn't know how to braid hair, otherwise he could have braided He Lei's hair into a little braid right now.
"If only my dad were here, he could braid your hair," he said regretfully.
I wonder what his father and the others are doing now?
Their tasks weren't written on the card. What will they be doing this afternoon?
He Lei nodded as she listened to his words; she also missed Uncle Mu.
Upon hearing Ye Qingxi's words, Yang Shu approached the two of them and said, "Leilei, do you want to braid your hair? I can."
Ye Qingxi: !!
He Lei looked at her in surprise, "Really, sister?"
Yang Shu hummed in agreement and asked, "Should I wear my hair in pigtails like this morning?"
"Mmm," He Lei replied quickly.
Yang Shu took out a comb box from her shorts pocket.
She opened the box, took out a comb, and then handed the mirror to He Lei.
"You're missing a hair tie." Yang Shu took the hair tie off her hair.
He Lei raised her hand and took off the rubber band on her wrist, handing it to her.
Yang Shu took the hair tie and began to comb her hair.
However, a few minutes later, Ye Qingxi looked at her double ponytails, which were different in front and back.
Um... Yang Shu, do you really know how to tie pigtails?
Yang Shu was also a little embarrassed, "How about I tie your hair into a ponytail instead?"
He Lei nodded in a very good-natured manner, "Okay~"
Yang Shu quickly removed the hair ties from the pigtails, combed them back smoothly, and then tied them into a ponytail at the back of her head.
This time the stitching was done quite well; it's very smooth and soft.
Yang Shu: ...She really is better at this hairstyle that she usually wears.
"It looks great!" He Lei exclaimed, looking left and right.
Ye Qingxi also thought it looked pretty good; He Lei was cute and looked good in any braid.
It's just that this rubber band is a bit plain.
Oh right, he remembered something and took off his little basket.
—When he was playing Eagle Catches Chicks, he put the little yellow flower in his hand into his little basket.
"Sister Yang Shu," he said, handing out the little yellow flower, "can we tie this in Lei Lei's hair?"
Yang Shu's eyes lit up. "I'll give it a try."
She gently lifted the rubber band, inserted the small yellow flower, and adjusted the rubber band to fix the flower in place.
"Alright." She looked at Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi praised without hesitation, "Sister Yang Shu, you're so amazing! You look so beautiful!"
Yang Shu smiled a little shyly.
He Lei looked left and right but couldn't see it, and said anxiously, "I want to see it too."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
How can I show this to him?
He couldn't even take a picture of her.
Wait a minute, Ye Qingxi suddenly realized that although he couldn't, the filming director could!
Their phones weren't confiscated!
So he turned to his cameraman and said, "Sister, could you take a picture of the back of Leilei's head? She wants to see the little yellow flower."
The director who was filming with him for two days had already grown fond of him and couldn't bear to refuse.
Besides, there's no reason to refuse. It's just taking a picture to show He Lei, it won't affect anything.
If the director really asks, she can say: Didn't you say that we should take good care of Ye Qingxi? What if Ye Qingxi feels uncomfortable or unhappy if I refuse?
I'm sure their director wouldn't want this to happen either.
So the director took out his phone and carefully took a picture of He Lei, then showed it to her.
He Lei looked at the little flower on her head in the photo and was overjoyed.
"So beautiful!"
She reached out her little hand to touch it, but then, afraid of knocking the flower off, she quickly withdrew her hand.
"Thank you, Sister Yang Shu and Brother Qingxi," He Lei said sweetly.
Yang Shu shook her head.
Ye Qingxi replied, "No need to be so polite."
“Oh, right,” he pointed to Tao Tao, “Tao Tao picked up the flower and gave it to me.”
"Thank you, Brother Tao Tao," He Lei said politely.
"No need, no need," Tao Tao laughed, "You look good in it too."
He Lei's smile grew even brighter.
The viewers in the live stream also laughed:
[Xiao Xi is quite clever; he even knew to ask the director on camera to film him.]
【That's because Xiaoxi has always been smart!】
[Not only is she smart, but she's also a very kind person; she even offered her own flowers to Leilei.]
[When we played Eagle Catches Chicks before, Xiaoxi even took the initiative to protect Huo Zinan!]
However, Tao Tao wanted to protect Xiao Xi [facepalm]
Yang Shu wants to protect all her younger siblings and even helps Lei Lei comb her hair.
[Let's put He Yao down; he's not even as good as a six-year-old girl!]
【That's way too much, isn't it? Our Shushu is so well-behaved!】
【Shushu isn't lying [doge]】
[Haha, all the babies are good babies, although I like Xiaoxi the most, hehe~]
Me too! Xiaoxi is just too cute!
[MoMo +1]
"Now, let's all go into the orchard," the filming director said, opening the orchard gate.
Everyone immediately perked up.
Even Ye Qingxi was curious about what kind of fruit was inside.
He put his little basket back on his back and went inside with his friends.
