Yang Yingying finally made her appearance.
Her hair was done up in a bun, and she wore a baseball cap, hiding most of her hair.
She had a small face and big eyes, and with her platinum hair, she looked like a character from an anime. However, one could also feel that she's someone in her twenties. By putting her hair up and wearing loose clothes, she looked exceptionally small, like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.
"Welcome everyone to 'Let's Go Play'. "
Everyone applauded.
Yang Yingying continued with a long advertisement, then said, "Today we have a small activity, going to a strawberry field to pick strawberries. The child who picks the most gets first choice of room in the homestay."
There's a village near the botanical garden that's been converted into a homestay, with both good and average accommodations.
Yang Yingying showed everyone pictures of the homestays. The average ones had just one bed and were very cramped, really tight for two people.
The best was a detached courtyard.
The difference between the two was quite large.
[This treatment... the best in children's shows!]
[Director is so generous!]
[Not a bit of hardship, so what's the fun in watching them just enjoy? No, I want to see them suffer!]
...
Yang Yingying also wondered if it was too easy, but the preparation for the show took too long and there were some troubles. The location initially booked had been canceled twice, and she had to settle for the next best thing.
At this point, being able to gather the guests together was already a lot of effort; she didn't want to ask for more.
"Strawberry field? Brother, I want to eat strawberries," Lin Yuxian tugged at her brother's pants and said in a cutesy voice.
She wasn't familiar with her brother.
After all, they were eighteen years apart, and when she was born, it was Lin Wen Yu's busiest time.
Now being able to boldly express her desires was already quite good.
"If you want strawberries, you can pick them yourself, how about that?" Lin Wen Yu squatted down, gently reminding her while holding her arm, "Don't fall later, okay?"
[Who wouldn't want to be the little sister?]
[Brother Lin speaks so gently to his sister, love it.]
[Sister is so cute~]
...
All the parents reminded their kids to be careful, including Mu Ran, except Xiong Guobing, who reminded his son, "You're the big brother to everyone here, take care of the younger ones, and make sure they don't fall, okay?"
"Okay." Xiong Zunxiang nodded sullenly, then ran to Chu Xijin and held his hand, "Brother, I'll protect you."
"Okay." Chu Xijin held Xiong Zunxiang's hand with one hand and Zhu Wenzhen's with the other.
From the moment Zhu Wenzhen arrived, he hadn't stopped chattering, "Xiao Jin, your hair looks so nice, your clothes are so unique, did you come from ancient times?"
"Maybe."
"Hahaha, I came out of the TV, biu-biu-biu, I'm Pig Hero, GG Bond." Zhu Wenzhen posed a shooting action toward the camera, "You should all call me Pig Hero from now on, okay?"
"Okay, Pig Hero." This was Chu Xijin's first time playing like this with his peers and he found them adorable.
"Then what should we call you, Xiao Jin?" Zhu Wenzhen asked.
"Me? I don't know." Chu Xijin couldn't think of anything he liked.
"Xiao Jin should be called the young prince!" Xiong Zunxiang suggested.
Chu Xijin's heart skipped a beat, thinking they really discovered his secret.
Seeing Chu Xijin's confusion, Xiong Zunxiang scratched his head goofily and said, "I watched a period drama yesterday, and you're even better looking than the best crown prince in the drama, so I think you're fit to be a crown prince."
"No way, Xiao Jin should be an emperor, and I'll be a general!" Zhu Wenzhen interrupted, "I'm definitely the greatest general in the world."
"No, Xiao Jin is too young to be an emperor, he has to be a crown prince, or he'll be killed!" Xiong Zunxiang said seriously.
Zhu Wenzhen, not understanding, just nodded.
"Alright, Xiao Jin is the young prince, I am Pig Hero, then what about you, Brother Xiangxiang?"
Xiong Zunxiang pondered and said, "I'm Zhu Bajie! My classmates always call me that."
"Wow, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy," Zhu Wenzhen's eyes lit up, "We're all pigs, so maybe we were one family before, but I live in a fairy tale world and you're in the Immortal World. By the way, can you take me to see Monkey King Sun Wukong?"
"I... I need to talk to him about it."
[Ahhhh, who isn't moved by the friendship of little kids!]
[Zhu Wenzhen, no surprise being the child I've watched grow, so touching!]
[Although... I feel like Xiong Guobing should pay attention to his son, being called that by many classmates can't simply be goodwill!]
[I didn't like the influencer's kid before, but now I'm a fan!]
...
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Zhu Wenzhen said with a giggle, leaning on Chu Xijin, "Your Highness, I want lots and lots of lollipops~"
Chu Xijin burst into laughter, "No way."
"Why not?"
"I don't have any." Chu Xijin shrugged.
"Alright, I'll buy them for you. My family has several warehouses, and I'll take you there to play later. Whatever you like, I'll give it to you!"
"I want some too!" Xiong Zunxiang said.
"There's for everyone!" Zhu Wenzhen waved generously, "Just come to me, and you'll have anything you want!"
[Mr. Zhu is so generous!]
[Haha, initially just casually watching, but now I'm a fan of him.]
[Chu Xijin does seem a bit reserved, no wonder he's called the prince. He does have an aunt from the Imperial Family, doesn't that make him a prince?]
[I also think Chu Xijin is putting on airs.]
[Agree with the reserved comment!]
...
The five children arrived at the strawberry field, and the staff distributed baskets to them.
Xiong Zunxiang stuck close to Lin Yuxian, remembering his father's words to take good care of her.
Because he always followed Lin Yuxian, and even when Lin Yuxian almost fell, he protected her and spent more time on her, he ended up picking very few strawberries.
Xiong Guobing initially thought his son would take first place easily.
Unexpectedly, he was second to last!
His face immediately darkened, but because of the cameras, he still smiled, "Why did you pick so few, even the little ones picked more than you."
"I..." Xiong Zunxiang didn't know how to explain.
Netizens immediately exploded in anger.
[What's wrong with Xiong Guobing? He told Xiong Zunxiang to take care of the sister, and now he's criticizing him for doing exactly that, disgusting.]
[That's what discouraging parents do!]
[Reminds me of my own parents, originally had a lot of respect for Xiong Guobing as a senior, but not anymore.]
[Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, don't cry.]
[Yes, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, don't cry.]
...
Xiong Zunxiang was deeply aggrieved, not knowing what to do while holding the basket of strawberries.
Lin Yuxian took some of her strawberries and put them into Xiong Zunxiang's basket, "Uncle, brother was taking care of me the whole time. When I almost fell, he held me, so I can give him my strawberries."
[Oh my, I'm touched.]
[My eyes are watering, this isn't the chaotic start I expected for a kid's show, it's so warm and the kids are all so sweet and well-behaved!]
[The sister is the youngest, so obedient and understanding!]
...
Everyone on site was amazed, most notably Xiong Guobing, who was embarrassed, "No, uncle didn't mean anything else, your brother is older than you all, so he should protect you."
Lin Yuxian was shocked, "But Brother Xiangxiang isn't my dad."
"Pfft..." Mu Ran laughed.
Everyone looked over.
Mu Ran glanced at Xiong Guobing and said nonchalantly, "You're older, but not as wise as this little girl."
[Damn, she's bold!]
[Although... she said what everyone wanted to say!]
[As expected, Director Mu is still the same!]
