Chapter 212 (Second Update)
212:
After delivering the clay figurines to Mu Shaoyan, Ye Qingxi finally arrived at Mu Feng's study.
Mu Feng looked at the dough figurine he handed him, without any surprise.
Ye Qingxi has always been a very thoughtful and considerate child. He likes this little gadget. Before, they just didn't have enough money. Now that the recording is finished and they have enough money, he will naturally go again.
Mu Feng put it in his pen holder so that he could see it whenever he looked up.
"Do you like Uncle He Yao, who you recorded the show with?" he asked casually while inserting the dough figurines.
Ye Qingxi shook her head.
"Do you hope to see him again in the future?" Mu Feng continued to ask.
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi immediately became alert.
His grandfather certainly didn't say that casually. If he had said "I don't want to," then he might never have to see He Yao again.
But wouldn't it be a bad idea for his grandfather to make a move?
Ye Qingxi was very worried.
In the original book, Mu Feng tried to kill He Yao, but Qiu Lu took the blow for him. In the end, He Yao didn't die, nor did Qiu Lu. Only He Yao's parents, brothers, and grandfather died.
Now, if his grandfather intervenes, will it trigger a new chain reaction?
Ye Qingxi dared not gamble.
In any case, He Yao is unlikely to gain any more fans on this show, so keeping him around won't hurt. He can also be used to highlight Mu Shaowu's reliability, thus improving Mu Shaowu's reputation.
Then there's even less need for his grandfather to intervene.
Ye Qingxi doesn't want any changes to her current life.
He cherishes his family and happiness, so he doesn't want any risks to befall them.
"I hope so," Ye Qingxi blinked, looking innocent. "We'll be recording the second episode in a few days, and then we'll see everyone again~"
Mu Feng listened to his clearly misunderstanding words and did not ask any further questions.
Ye Qingxi is a smart child. The fact that he could understand and answer in this way proves that he doesn't dislike He Yao to the point of not wanting to see him.
That's true. He probably just disliked how He Yao's younger siblings treated his uncle and aunt, and he also disliked how He Yao always wanted to compare himself to Mu Shaowu. In the end, He Yao hadn't had much contact with him, so he naturally didn't have any real dislike for He Yao.
It's just because I love my house that I hate the crows that try to damage it.
"Your birthday is coming soon, how do you plan to celebrate?" Mu Feng changed the subject.
Ye Qingxi was stunned for a moment before she remembered that it was true. This body's birthday was easy to remember: August 15th. It was not the 15th of the lunar calendar, but the 15th of the solar calendar, so it was not the 15th of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When he transmigrated, it was already past the fifteenth of August, and "Ye Qingxi's" birthday had already passed, albeit in sadness.
So, this is actually his first birthday since he came into this world.
"I'll just stay home," Ye Qingxi said earnestly.
"Should we invite your classmates?" Mu Feng asked him.
Ye Qingxi felt it was unnecessary, "Just invite Pei Liang and the others."
They were his friends, and his grandfather and his grandfather were also close, so he didn't feel awkward when they came.
"What about your teachers and senior classmates?" Mu Feng asked him. "Should we invite them as well?"
"No need," Ye Qingxi said. "My senior brothers and sisters are all quite busy, and I'll be playing with Pei Liang and the others, so I won't have time to look after them."
The main problem is that he doesn't know his senior classmates or his grandfather, so it would be awkward if they came.
Mu Feng nodded. "And what about your teacher?"
Ye Qingxi was a little unsure. "I'll ask my teacher when I go to class the day after tomorrow."
"Okay," Mu Feng replied.
"What do you want? Grandpa will give it to you." He said gently.
Ye Qingxi laughed, "I want Grandpa to live to be a hundred years old!"
Mu Feng almost laughed at his witty remark, "Besides this?"
"No, no~" Ye Qingxi said, "I already have a lot of gifts, so there's nothing I want."
"If anything happens to you later, remember to tell Grandpa."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
"Go back," Mu Feng said, looking at him. "Get some rest."
"Grandpa, you should get some rest too~"
"Okay," Mu Feng replied.
Of course, that's what he said, but whether he actually did it or not, Ye Qingxi couldn't guarantee.
"Just wait," Ye Qingxi silently decided. When it was his birthday, he would wish for his grandfather to go to sleep early and say it to his grandfather's face!
He refused to believe that he wouldn't go to bed early from now on!
Ye Qingxi left Mu Feng's study, returned to her bedroom, and lay down on the bed.
"Finished delivering?" Mu Shaowu walked to his side.
Ye Qingxi nodded, "I'll give it to Brother Duan Yi tomorrow, to my uncle's family the day after tomorrow, to Pei Liang and the others the day after that, and to my master and mistress the day after that."
Hearing about his son's packed schedule, Mu Shaowu felt that his son had it tough too, with so many people to care about!
However, "Why send it to Duan Yi first?"
He thought it was going to be delivered to Qin Cheng and the others first.
"Of course it's because my uncle, Duan Yi, and I are opening our steamed bun shop tomorrow!" Ye Qingxi said happily. "We might even need your help, Dad!"
Mu Shaowu knew about this. At that time, Mu Shaoyan and Ye Qingxi were always whispering to each other. When he leaned closer to ask, he found out that they had opened a steamed bun shop together.
It was a real partnership; his son even had shares—although the money came from Mu Shaoyan.
that is……
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Mu Shaowu asked, puzzled.
"If our steamed bun shop isn't doing well, Dad, could you come over for a meal and then post it on Weibo?" Ye Qingxi said cutely, clenching her fists under her chin.
Looking at his adorable appearance, how could Mu Shaowu not agree to anything?
Forget about posting on Weibo, I'd even be willing to let him work as a waiter!
“Okay.” He replied without hesitation.
"Thank you, Dad~" Ye Qingxi said happily.
However, after the business opened the next day, Ye Qingxi discovered that his worries were completely unnecessary.
On its first day of opening, the steamed bun shop attracted many people thanks to its good location and reasonable prices.
On the second day after opening, the steamed bun shop gained repeat customers thanks to its excellent taste.
On the third day after the store opened, someone secretly took a picture of Mu Shaoyan at the temporary reception desk and posted it online. He was instantly dubbed the "#MostHandsomeReceptionist" and Mu Shaoyan and his steamed bun shop became famous overnight.
Feeling guilty, Mu Shaoyan was afraid that others would find out that he was the younger brother of top star Mu Shaowu and popular female singer Shao Ting. So he took leave the next day and asked Duan Yi to take his place.
Then Duan Yi was photographed again, and some people thought he was the #most handsome receptionist#. Netizens started a poll to see who was more handsome, Duan Yi or Mu Shaoyan, and they started fighting.
Their steamed bun shop, with its two most handsome receptionists, naturally rose in popularity and quickly became a viral sensation.
As a result, Mu Shaowu prepared for several days, but in the end, he didn't even have a chance to appear.
Mu Shaowu: ...He even edited the Weibo post eighteen times, but now it's fine, he doesn't need to post it at all.
Of course, that's all in the future. Right now, on the first day of business, Ye Qingxi, Mu Shaoyan, Duan Yi, and Duan Yi's mother stood outside the shop, looking at the name of their shop on the door, and lit firecrackers. The steamed bun shop was officially open for business!
As a technician, Duan's mother naturally had to stay in the kitchen. Duan Yi had learned to make steamed buns from his mother before, so he could make them with her and went to the kitchen as well.
Mu Shaoyan naturally became the temporary front desk staff.
As for Ye Qingxi, he's been quite popular lately, so Mu Shaoyan dressed him in a hat and a disposable mask, made him sit at a small table to play games, and disguised himself as a mascot with a cold.
Ye Qingxi: ...
"I'm here to help," Ye Qingxi said, dissatisfied.
Mu Shaoyan looked at him and said, "What kind of help do you want? With your skinny arms and legs, just sitting still is the biggest help you can give us."
"I can serve steamed buns as well as porridge."
Mu Shaoyan pointed to the food counter, "They'll get it for themselves."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Just then, the first batch of steamed buns came out, and Duan Yi gave Ye Qingxi two and a bowl of fermented rice wine.
"Try it," Duan Yi said.
Looking at the plump, white steamed buns and smelling the sweet fermented rice, Ye Qingxi actually felt a bit hungry.
He followed Duan Yi to the table, sat down, blew on the steamed buns, and slowly began to eat.
"Oh, right, Brother Duan Yi, this is for you." Ye Qingxi took out the box containing the dough figurines.
Duan Yi opened it with a puzzled look and found that it was a dough figurine he had bought during the live stream.
He just remembered that he had asked the other person to pinch his and Mu Shaowu's nipples, and it seemed that they had gone back after the recording.
"Thank you," Duan Yi said with a smile.
He looked at the clothes he was wearing on the clay figure. They were the clothes he wore last winter after the final exams, when Mu Shaoyan treated them to a meal after he did well on the exams.
Before he knew it, half a year had passed, and he and Ye Qingxi had known each other for almost a year.
"Brother Duan Yi, my birthday is coming soon, and I'll be celebrating at my house. Do you want to come?" Ye Qingxi asked him. "If you feel awkward because you don't know my family, then I'll invite you to dinner after my birthday. It will just be the three of us: me, you, and my uncle."
"Then let's keep it the three of us," Duan Yi said. "I'll buy you a cake then."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
He lowered his head and continued eating his steamed bun.
Duan Yi looked at him, then looked down at the dough figurine in his hand, and felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
After giving the dough figurine to Duan Yi, Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu went to Qin Cheng's house the next day.
As soon as the donut saw him coming, it immediately rubbed against his legs affectionately and spun around, and finally simply lay down on the floor, exposing its belly to him as it rolled around.
Qin Cheng smiled and said, "He misses you a lot."
Ye Qingxi laughed too, "I miss it too, and you too."
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng was surprised by his response and felt a little embarrassed.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
“It must be my uncle,” Qin Cheng said.
As he spoke, he pulled Ye Qingxi along and ran over to open the door.
Qin Yuan was indeed standing outside the door.
Upon seeing the two of them, Qin Yuan magically produced two identical gift boxes, saying, "These are gifts for you."
Ye Qingxi quickly raised her hand and said, "Uncle, I also have a gift for you."
"Really?" Qin Yuan looked at him. "What?"
Qin Cheng asked, puzzled, "When did you buy it? Why didn't you tell me?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Ye Qingxi looked at him and winked mischievously.
