Chapter 214, Part 2 (with comments)
214:
After delivering all the clay figurines, Ye Qingxi rested for two more days before it was time to record the second episode of "Look the Daddy".
This time, the production team didn't need to film the scene of leaving home, so Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu didn't move out again, but instead set off directly from the Mu family's old house.
After getting off the plane, the production crew's car was already waiting outside the airport, and the director and cameraman were also waiting in the car.
Ye Qingxi got into the car and politely greeted them, saying, "Long time no see."
"It's been a long time," the filming director said with a smile. "Can we start filming now?"
"Okay." Ye Qingxi nodded.
The director then signaled to the cameraman to start filming.
The program director then arranged for staff to prepare for the live broadcast.
When netizens saw the official Weibo post announcing the live stream, they quickly gathered their friends and family, and waited in the live stream room for it to start.
When Ye Qingxi's small face appeared in the live stream, the live stream almost crashed due to the crowd.
【Ahhhhh, it's finally starting!】
[Great! I've seen my son again!]
It's only been a few days! It feels like years!
Xiao Xi is as beautiful as ever!
Xiao Xi's looks are truly stunning every time I see her.
[So cute! How can a baby be so adorable?!]
Which direction should I pray in so I can have a baby as cute as Xiaoxi?!
The filming director sat in the car, looking at Ye Qingxi, and chatted with him, "How have you been these past few days?"
“Okay,” Ye Qingxi said.
"Will you miss your colleagues on the show?"
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
"Among all the members of the show's crew, Xiaoxi, who is your favorite?"
Wow! Is it this exciting right from the start?!
[A chaotic scene, I love it!]
[Blind guess: Tao Tao!]
[Could it be Leilei?]
[Isn't anyone going to guess who Nan Nan is?]
[So, is this question only directed at Xiaoxi, or are all the other babies asking it too?]
[They're all asking! I just checked other live streams, and every single one of the viewers got asked the same question.]
What did the other babies answer?
[Hahaha, what a coincidence! Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, it's all Xiao Xi!]
Viewers in the live stream exclaimed in surprise: 【Huh?!】
"Seriously, go watch the screen recording if you don't believe me," one comment replied.
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoyan immediately put down his tablet, opened his phone, and started looking for screen recordings—he wanted to see how other babies praised their Xiaoxi, hehe.
Soon, Mu Shaoyan found the relevant screen recordings on various Weibo platforms.
Tao Tao was the first to be asked this question, and he answered without hesitation: "Of course it's Xiao Xi! Xiao Xi is my best friend on this show!"
Mu Shaoyan nodded in satisfaction: It wasn't for nothing that he ate so much rice from their family!
Then there's Yang Shu.
Yang Shu thought for a moment and then chose, "Ye Qingxi."
Why?
“Because he’s a very nice person,” Yang Shu replied in a refined manner. “And he’s very smart. Although he’s younger than me, he knows more than I do, which is very inspiring to me.”
Mu Shaoyan nodded slightly: That's right, their Xiaoxi is very smart and knows a lot. Yang Shu is also quite honest!
Following closely behind was Zhang Ning, who was playing with a Rubik's Cube. Upon hearing this, he said while turning the Rubik's Cube, "Xiao Xi, I guess."
"Why?"
“He’s very well-behaved, unlike my cousins, who are not well-behaved at all. And he’s very smart; I want his brain.”
Mu Shaoyan: ? ? ? You're still thinking about it?!
That won't do!
But their little Xi is very well-behaved~ and she is indeed very smart!
Next up is He Lei.
He Lei didn't hesitate at all, "Brother Qingxi!"
Mu Shaoyan smiled with satisfaction: It was worth it for Xiao Xi to help her so many times.
Finally, there's Huo Zinan.
Huo Zinan is definitely Ye Qingxi.
"Exactly, without even thinking about it, Huo Zinan has already made it very obvious." The comments on the screen recording showed.
Huo Zinan: ...
Huo Zinan asked his filming director, "Who did Ye Qingxi answer?"
"You can ask him when you get off the bus. I don't know."
Huo Zinan: ...
"So Nannan likes Xiaoxi the most, right?"
Huo Zinan: "...I don't like it that much."
He said, "Just a little bit, maybe a tiny bit."
Mu Shaoyan: ...You're really arrogant!
So who does their Xiaoxi like? Mu Shaoyan looked up at Ye Qingxi's live stream.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi didn't expect to face this problem so soon.
He thought about it carefully and realized that he didn't really need to think about it carefully. From beginning to end, he had only spent a relatively long time with Tao Tao.
“Tao Tao,” Ye Qingxi replied.
[Oh no! Nan Nan will be furious if she sees this.]
[Leilei would probably cry if she saw this [facepalm]]
【Ahhhh, so Peach and Xiaoxi are going in the same direction?!】
[A world where only Tao Tao is ecstatic has been achieved.]
[Hahaha, Xiao Xi definitely doesn't know everyone likes him. I really want to see Xiao Xi's reaction when she finds out.]
Hehe, I want to too.
Ye Qingxi really didn't know. Not only did he not know, but he was also a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap.
So, not long after, the live stream was shut down again.
Live stream viewers: ...
Is it possible that we also love watching Xiaoxi sleep?
[Yeah, so what if we see it again!]
How stingy!
A few minutes later, the other live streams also shut down one after another.
The fathers and babies all took a nap in the car until they arrived at their destination village.
Ye Qingxi got out of the car, pulled her suitcase, and walked with Mu Shaowu toward the designated location. As they were walking, she heard Tao Tao call out to her, "Ye Qingxi."
Ye Qingxi turned around and saw Tao Tao running towards him with his short legs.
"I missed you so much." Tao Tao ran up to him and hugged him.
Ye Qingxi then hugged him.
Qin Cheng, who was watching the live stream: ...
"Hello, Uncle Tao." Ye Qingxi raised her head and greeted Tao Rui, who was following behind Tao Tao.
"Hello, hello~" Tao Rui said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he turned to Mu Shaowu and said, "Hello, Teacher Mu. I've been at home these past few days and have been giving you some emergency training on how to make fried rice. I'll make some for you guys in a bit."
"Yes." Tao Tao nodded, vouching for his father, "My mom taught me how to make it herself. I tried it, and it's okay, edible."
Tao Rui: "Didn't you say it was delicious before? How come it's edible now!"
"That was because Mom was around then, and I was giving you face," Tao Tao said confidently.
Tao Rui: ...Thank you so much!
Mu Shaowu almost burst out laughing.
Ye Qingxi also tried hard to suppress her laughter.
The two families walked together to the designated place, where they found Yang Shu and Zhang Ning already there.
Upon seeing the two of them, Yang Shu and Zhang Ning waved for them to come over, and Ye Qingxi then noticed that there were several pale yellow chicks where they were.
"Isn't it cute?" Zhang Ning said.
Tao Tao nodded and reached out to touch the chick.
A short while later, He Lei and Huo Zinan also arrived.
Zhang Ning waved again, beckoning the two of them to come over.
He Lei's eyes lit up with surprise when she saw the chicks.
She touched it carefully, her eyes filled with indescribable affection.
Huo Zinan glanced at Ye Qingxi casually, wanting to ask him how he answered the question about who the most popular child among so many children was, but he couldn't open his mouth because he was embarrassed.
What if he doesn't answer with himself?
Thinking of this, he silently glared at Tao Tao. It's all his fault!
Once everyone had arrived, the host prepared to begin recording.
The live stream was reopened.
The first round was still about choosing a house, but this time the game was—pitch-pot.
"Here is a pot and six arrows. The fathers take turns throwing the arrows into the pot. The father who throws in the most arrows gets to choose a house first, and the father who throws in the fewest arrows gets to choose a house last."
"Then let's draw lots to decide the order of the game of pitch-pot."
After the host finished speaking, he asked the staff to bring over the lottery box.
Mu Shaowu drew lots in order, and Ye Qingxi looked at them while clinging to his arm. The number on the lot was 3.
“My dad is number 1,” Tao Tao shouted, holding up Tao Rui’s hand.
Tao Rui quickly took his hand down, somewhat embarrassed—he had never played this game before!
"Then, Teacher Tao, you can go first," the host said.
Tao Rui: ...
Tao Rui could only walk over under everyone's gaze, stand outside the designated yellow line, pick up the arrow, and aim at the pot not far away.
He aimed and aimed again before raising his arm and throwing the arrow, but with a "thud," the arrow landed outside the target area.
Tao Rui: ...He just said he'd never played it before!
Ye Qingxi: ...Judging from his posture just now, I thought he would do this.
"Dad, can you do it?" Ye Qingxi asked Mu Shaowu in a low voice.
Mu Shaowu leaned closer to his ear, "Do you think Dad would?"
Ye Qingxi thought about it and figured he probably wanted her to know what he was capable of.
"Hmm." He nodded.
Mu Shaowu raised an eyebrow, "You trust me that much!"
Ye Qingxi praised, "Dad, you're amazing!"
Mu Shaowu laughed.
He discovered that whenever his son appeared on the show, he would transform into a little praise machine, showering him with compliments without reservation.
Mu Shaowu patted his little head, "Then you guessed right, your dad really does know how."
Ye Qingxi asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Is it even possible that it's fake?"
This time, Ye Qingxi genuinely praised him, "Dad, you're amazing!"
That's possible too!
Viewers in the live stream were surprised, exclaiming, "Mu Shaowu can actually play pitch-pot?"
Good heavens! He's said way too much!
[Unlock a new skill for Mu Shaowu every day~]
Oh my god, I'm starting to feel like I don't understand my idol at all!
Tao Rui finished his pitching game quickly. He threw six times and hit the target twice. Tao Rui's heart sank. Could he be going to be last?
However, three minutes later, Tao Rui felt relieved because Zhang Ye only hit the target once, and his score was lower than his.
Zhang Ye: ……
Zhang Ning covered her face, unable to bear to look.
Next up is Mu Shaowu.
"Go, Dad!" Ye Qingxi encouraged him.
"Okay," Mu Shaowu said with a smile.
He walked outside the yellow line, picked up the arrow that the staff had placed, and aimed it at the pot not far away.
Mu Shaowu played this game when he was in college.
He was young and playful back then, so he tried all sorts of games.
He enjoys things like archery, and he'll play it a lot.
He didn't like things like Go; he played two games and then quit.
He became proficient at the game of pitch-pot after playing it a few times, and then stopped playing it.
Unexpectedly, we're playing this kind of game again at this time.
Mu Shaowu narrowed his eyes, aimed at the spout of the pot, and threw the arrow directly out.
With a "clang," the arrow fell in.
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi immediately clapped for him!
Wow, that's amazing! His dad!
Viewers in the live stream exclaimed in amazement: "He actually knows how!"
Wow, that's amazing!
[They're quite capable!]
[Mu Shaowu, how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?!]
Mu Shaowu made the shot, and taking advantage of the momentum, he threw out the remaining five shots in one go.
With each "clang," "clang," and "clang," all five arrows fell into the pot.
The crowd: !!
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi raised her hand again and clapped for him vigorously.
Tao Rui exclaimed, "Teacher Mu, you're amazing!"
Mu Shaowu smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and said in a pretentious manner, "It's alright."
"I used to play when I was young, but I haven't played for a few years and I've gotten quite rusty."
Live stream viewers: ? ? ?
[You're putting on an act again?!]
[Damn it! He got away with it again!]
【What do you mean by "when you're young"? You're only in your early twenties, bro!】
Hahaha, I really like Mu Shaowu so much!
Wow, so handsome! Absolutely too handsome!
If I were as handsome as him and knew so much, I'd be even more pretentious than him!
He Yao looked at the pride on Mu Shaowu's face and silently clenched his fist.
Hand raw?
Did he become so inexperienced that he hit the target with all six arrows?
With so many games available, why choose this one? Is there really no shady dealing involved?
Mu Shaowu is the most popular among them. If he asks to play a game he is good at in order to ensure that he can stay in a good house every time, would the production team refuse?
Do they dare to refuse?
Perhaps, during the few days they weren't recording, Mu Shaowu was practicing pitch-pot at home like crazy!
He came in first place last time when choosing a house, and it's obvious he wants to be first again this time.
He won twice in a row, that's too much of a coincidence.
He Yao didn't believe it; there was no trickery or exaggeration involved.
He was filled with resentment when he heard the host's voice, "Next up is number 4."
He Yao glanced at his lot; he was number 4.
He reluctantly walked to the yellow line.
At that time, He Yao had no idea that he would soon be removed from the recording of the show, a show he had never liked from the beginning, and which, as he wished, would have nothing to do with him.
But at that time, he was unwilling and resentful.
