Chapter 204 (First Update) (Few Comments)
204:
Ye Qingxi watched Huo Zinan awkwardly approach and awkwardly answer, thinking to herself: Well, it's not easy for someone as awkward as him to actually come over and give her a bunch of grapes.
"Thank you~" Ye Qingxi said with a smile.
Huo Zinan: "...No, you're welcome."
Huo Zinan returned to his small basket, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing this, Tao Tao also took a bunch of grapes and put them into Ye Qingxi's basket, saying, "Then I'll give you a bunch too!"
Huo Zinan: !!!
What a brilliant scholar!
Why learn from him?!
Ye Qingxi was both amused and exasperated. He had given them the grapes because he thought they didn't have enough, but they each gave him a bunch of grapes. It was completely unnecessary!
However, since it was a child's kind intention, Ye Qingxi accepted it.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome," Tao Tao said with a smile.
Huo Zinan: ...
Suddenly, I started to feel like I didn't like Tao Tao anymore.
After the children finished picking fruit, the filming director let them go home.
Everyone carried their small baskets on their backs and happily walked back along the path they had come from.
Meanwhile, Mu Shaowu and his team also finished their mission.
The fathers who caught chickens and fish could take their spoils to the program team and exchange them for the corresponding chicken and fish.
The father, who had nothing, could only take a bag of steamed buns home.
Mu Shaowu was lucky enough to catch the chicken at the last moment and also caught the fish early on, thus having both chicken and fish at once.
Tao Rui was also fortunate.
Tao Rui looked at the meat he had exchanged in his hand, thought for a moment, and then handed it all over to Mu Shaowu.
—There's nothing I can do; he wouldn't know how to make it even if I gave it to him.
"Then let's have Kung Pao Chicken and Sweet and Sour Fish tonight," Mu Shaowu said.
Tao Rui had no objection; he was just a freeloader, how dare he offer an opinion?
"It's up to you, Teacher Mu."
Mu Shaowu smiled, took the chicken and fish in his hand, and went home.
Tao Rui carried it back for him, and only left to go home after delivering it to Mu Shaowu's house.
Ye Qingxi pushed open the door and saw that Mu Shaowu had already returned.
They were even earlier than him?
Ye Qingxi was somewhat surprised, "When did you get back?"
“Just five minutes ago.” Mu Shaowu looked at him. “If you had come back two minutes earlier, you would have seen Uncle Tao.”
"Did Uncle Tao go back?" Ye Qingxi asked.
Mu Shaowu nodded. "Is the orchard fun?"
"It's fun." Ye Qingxi replied without hesitation.
Not only was the orchard fun, but being with Tao Tao and the others was also quite fun.
"Dad, look." Ye Qingxi took off her little basket.
Mu Shaowu took a closer look and was almost scared out of his wits!
"Why did you pick so many? Aren't you tired?"
As he spoke, he began to massage Ye Qingxi's small shoulders.
Ye Qingxi giggled as he pressed her down, shaking her head and saying, "Not tired."
"Then Dad will give you a massage too, so your shoulder won't hurt later."
Mu Shaowu said with heartache, "Why didn't you pick more? You picked so much, and you won't even finish eating it all."
"It's not for eating. It's for selling. We're going to sell it at the market tomorrow."
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ? !!!
Is that true?!
How come these fathers didn't know?!
Are we going to split up again tomorrow?
Picking fruit has nothing to do with Dad, so I'll tell him about selling fruit on the task card tomorrow?
"Then, can Dad go with you?" he asked Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi didn't know either, but he thought it should be possible. He couldn't let the father and baby complete the task separately for two days, could he?
"Sister, what do you think?" He turned to look at his cameraman.
Filming Director: ...
The filming director smiled and replied, "You'll find out tomorrow morning."
Ye Qingxi didn't press her further, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
He had Mu Shaowu press for a while longer, until Mu Shaowu felt it was about time, then Ye Qingxi bent down and carefully took out the watermelon from the bottom of the small basket.
"Dad, let's eat watermelon."
Mu Shaowu: !!!
Looking at the round little watermelon in his hand, Mu Shaowu thought he was really amazing, he actually carried a watermelon back!
That must be so heavy!
"Okay." Mu Shaowu quickly took the watermelon from his hand.
Fortunately, after handling it, Mu Shaowu realized that the watermelon was actually quite small, so it wasn't as heavy as he had imagined.
He went into the kitchen, rinsed it with cold water, and then cut it open.
Ye Qingxi had wanted to eat it since the orchard.
After all, summer and watermelon go very well together.
Seeing the bright red watermelon flesh that Mu Shaowu had cut, he felt his eyes were watering.
"Here you go." Mu Shaowu picked out the larger half for him and then handed him a spoon.
Ye Qingxi did not answer.
"That's too much," he said. "I want the small one; I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the big one."
"It's okay," Mu Shaowu said. "If you can't finish it, Dad will help you eat it."
Hearing him say that, Ye Qingxi accepted it.
He inserted the spoon, scooped out the very center portion, and put it in his mouth.
It's crisp and sweet, just the texture he likes, not sandy at all.
"Delicious!" He looked up at Mu Shaowu.
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaowu dug out the middle part of his own half and held it to Ye Qingxi's mouth.
“I have one.” Ye Qingxi held up half of her watermelon.
Mu Shaowu laughed and said, "Didn't they say online that you should give the sweetest part of the watermelon to your favorite person?"
Ye Qingxi: ...That's a bit old-fashioned, Dad.
However, he still opened his mouth and happily ate it.
Mu Shaowu feigned surprise, "You ate it?"
He looked regretful. "This is just to show you; I was going to eat it myself."
Ye Qingxi: !!
Mu Shaowu sighed, "It seems some people think that my favorite person isn't me, but him."
Ye Qingxi: ...
"As expected of me, as a first-time father, I have given my son such a strong sense of security. I am amazing."
Ye Qingxi: ………
Ye Qingxi picked up the watermelon and turned to leave.
Mu Shaowu quickly chased after him, "Why did you leave? How am I supposed to eat watermelon with my favorite person if you leave?"
Ye Qingxi sneered inwardly: "Go eat it yourself."
"No, what's the point if I'm not with the person I like the most?"
"It's quite amusing to see you eating alone."
"Dad has already given you his sweetest piece, so don't be so cruel to Dad."
"Is it for me?" Ye Qingxi turned to look at him. "Aren't you just showing it to me, planning to eat it yourself?"
Mu Shaowu laughed, "How could that be? I was clearly showing it to myself, preparing it for you to eat."
Ye Qingxi: "Hmph~"
Looking at him with his face tilted up and his little face slightly puffed out, Mu Shaowu found him incredibly cute.
He leaned closer to Ye Qingxi, wanting to kiss him.
Ye Qingxi quickly dodged to the side.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu leaned closer again, wanting to kiss his little face.
Ye Qingxi grabbed his half-watermelon and ran towards the sofa, but it was no use. His short legs couldn't outrun Mu Shaowu, and in the end, Mu Shaowu hugged him and kissed him several times.
The viewers in the live stream watched their interaction, and a smile crept onto their lips without them even realizing it.
Damn, this is so heartwarming and sweet!
[Little Xi even hums along with her dad, haha.]
[This is the first time I've seen Xiaoxi "humph," she's so cute.]
If I were Mu Shaowu, I'd kiss him to death!
[Hahaha, I can hug him and kiss him nonstop!]
[Mu Shaowu, you're really tight-lipped! You didn't even tell me you were living this blissful life at home every day!]
Honestly, judging from how they interact, you really can't tell they're not father and son. It's so natural! So sweet!
[It's even sweeter than the relationship between me and my own dad!]
[Especially since Mu Shaowu would tease him, that makes him seem even more like a real dad [facepalm]]
"Absolutely! My dad loves to tease me!"
Anyway, He Yao wouldn't tease He Lei [doge emoji]
After Mu Shaowu hugged and kissed Ye Qingxi, he handed the spoon and watermelon back to Ye Qingxi so that he could eat the watermelon.
This watermelon was exceptionally crisp and sweet, so much so that Ye Qingxi ate half of it, bite by bite.
Ye Qingxi: ...
It must be because this watermelon is too small.
It's definitely not because he eats too much!
Seeing that Ye Qingxi had eaten watermelon, Mu Shaowu decided to wait a while before cooking, fearing that Ye Qingxi wouldn't be able to eat if he cooked now.
As he was thinking, he saw Ye Qingxi stand up and take out pears from her small basket.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
He strode over and took the pear from Ye Qingxi's hand. "Want some pears?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "I won't eat it, give it to the director and the cameraman."
It must have been tough for the director and cameraman to follow them all the way in this sweltering heat, so Ye Qingxi wanted them to have some fruit too.
There was only one watermelon in the small basket. Ye Qingxi wanted Mu Shaowu to eat more, otherwise he would have just taken the watermelon and shared it.
Mu Shaowu hadn't expected him to think that way.
The director and cameraman who were filming were also surprised that he had given it to them.
For a moment, both of them were quite moved.
"No need, Xiaoxi, thank you," the filming director said.
The cameraman also said, "You guys can eat it."
"It's okay." Ye Qingxi smiled at them. "I still have some in my little basket. I picked a lot of pears."
Mu Shaowu then laughed as well.
He patted his son's head, went into the kitchen, washed some pears for him, and then distributed them to the filming director and cameraman.
"You've all worked hard too."
Filming Director: !!!
Cameraman: !!!
Who exactly said that Mu Shaowu is arrogant, haughty, short-tempered, and not someone to mess with?
How can someone so arrogant wash pears for them?
Will having high aspirations allow them to eat pears?
Can someone with a bad temper say "You've worked hard" to them?!
Mu Shaowu is clearly a down-to-earth, reliable, and considerate good man!
A viewer in the live stream commented: "I feel like this Mu Shaowu isn't the same person I heard before."
Just how badly was Mu Shaowu slandered before?! I think he's a pretty good person [facepalm].
So far, I really haven't seen anything wrong with Mu Shaowu [laughing and crying emoji]
Don't worry, Mu Shaowu, I'll help you fight back against the blacklist for your son's sake!
[Haha, me too! Although I don't particularly like you, I really love your son!]
[And me too, Xiaoxi is just so cute and well-behaved!]
[Xiao Xi is so thoughtful! I thought he wanted to eat the pears himself, but it turns out he was giving them to the director and cameraman!]
[He's truly his mother's good boy, even more reliable than his mother!]
[More reliable than his dad [doge emoji]]
[Hahaha, that's the truth!]
[I really love Xiaoxi so much! Xiaoxi, how can I live without you!]
