Giving Wei Yutang pointers? And Wei Yutang hasn't even gotten angry yet? He's still here recording a program? Wow, this is interesting, I have to keep watching!
Being good-looking? In the entertainment industry, as long as you don't break the law or commit crimes, and your morality is impeccable, isn't being good-looking enough?
Before the filming began, the boss repeatedly instructed the cameraman to focus most of the shots on Wei Yingdi, as he was the one who carried the show's ratings.
However, after officially starting work, relying on his years of experience, he would often shift the focus of the camera to Chu Qing and Xia Xia.
After Chu Qing kissed Xia Xia, Xia Xia, just like before, covered her burning face with her hands and stood there grinning foolishly.
Wei Yutang and Xia Xia were the first to finish the task. They stood aside and waited for a while. The other guests also finished one after another. Most of the groups of guests had two tasks.
Hosen had little patience for these things, especially with a little kid crying and fussing beside him. He hadn't gotten a single one and was standing there with a sour face.
In live variety shows, embarrassing past mistakes are shown directly to fans in high-definition.
He has many more fans than Qi Ning, and that kid is indeed annoying. Even though he didn't catch a single fish, there are still people defending him.
Who wouldn't find it annoying to hear a child crying like that?
[I almost caught it several times, but the child kept moving around.]
This kid is just like any other unruly child I've ever seen, so annoying!
Since they didn't catch any, the production team gave them a chance to draw a prize. Qi Ning went over and drew a ticket, and after scratching it off, it said "instant noodles" underneath.
There's only one chance, so eating instant noodles for dinner is not bad, and it's less of a hassle.
Wei Yutang was the one who went to draw prizes. He scratched off the slips one by one, and the prizes ranged from seafood to meat and vegetables. The only downside was that he didn't win a chef prize, so they had to make one themselves.
After finishing this project, it was almost dinnertime. The production team had installed cameras in each kitchen beforehand, allowing the guests to start preparing their own meals.
The staff took out the items they had drawn. Wei Yutang easily carried the basket with one hand and held Xiaxia in his arms with the other.
Because he picked up the child so quickly, Xiaxia didn't even have time to struggle. When she came to her senses, her eyes widened. She wanted to struggle but was afraid of falling.
His eyes widened, and he really wanted his dad to pick him up.
Chu Qing noticed Xia Xia's reluctance and, remembering the original owner's character, quickly ran forward and took Xia Xia back.
Back in her father's arms, Xiaxia wrapped her legs around his waist and clung tightly to his neck.
"Can't you see that Xiaxia isn't too keen?"
After saying this, Chu Qing walked ahead. Wei Yutang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and followed, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.
Perhaps Chu Qing saw him carrying things and holding Xia Xia, and came over to help him share the burden; no matter how unpleasant the words, they couldn't hide the truth.
In the living room, Xiaxia was put down and squatted in front of the basket, rummaging through the vegetables inside.
These vegetables were just bought by the production crew and were very fresh. Xiaxia picked up a bunch of celery and brought it close to her face to smell it.
Thinking of her uncle's previous behavior of forcing her to hold the baby, she turned her head to look at Wei Yutang, her eyes darting around, and chuckled as she moved closer to Wei Yutang.
"Uncle~"
"Um?"
Wei Yutang, who originally wanted to talk to Chu Qing, heard Xia Xia calling him and quickly walked over to Xia Xia, squatted down, and reached out to rub his head, which felt quite nice.
"What's wrong?"
"Uncle, you've worked hard just now. This is for you to eat tonight."
Xiaxia handed the celery to Wei Yutang. Although Wei Yutang didn't quite understand, he still reached out and took it.
"This is so delicious..."
As soon as she said it, Xiaxia remembered the taste of the food she had accidentally eaten last time and couldn't help but gag. Afraid that this uncle would notice something was wrong, she gave him a sweet smile.
Author's Note:
Chu Qing: Aren't you annoying?
Wei Yutang: He cares about me!
Chapter 45
Wei Yutang wasn't stupid; he could see that Xiaxia disliked celery.
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt the urge to tease him.
Xia Xia nodded very seriously, and just as a triumphant smile appeared on her lips, she heard what the uncle said.
"Thank you, Xiaxia, for sharing such delicious food with me. I'll eat with Xiaxia tonight."
Because of Wei Yutang's words, Xia Xia's smile froze on her lips, and she waved her hand and shook her head.
"No, Xiaxia won't eat it."
After saying that, he quickly patted his butt and left, afraid that if he was even a little slow, this uncle would catch him and make him eat celery.
Is this child using this method to get revenge on Wei Yutang? Because Wei Yutang just hugged him?
[I don't quite understand. Wei Yutang clearly meant well by hugging him, but suddenly I feel like Xia Xia is a bit heartless and not so cute anymore.]
Wei Yutang stared at Xia Xia's departing figure, his smile deepening, and his deep features softening in that instant.
He casually tossed the celery aside and muttered, "Silly girl."
They wanted to scam people, but their skills were lacking; they practically wore their intentions on their sleeves, and their methods were incredibly naive.
He didn't ask Xiaxia's permission before hugging her because he knew very well that if he asked, the answer he would get would definitely not be permission.
Wei Yutang's attitude as the person involved made those who had just stood up for him seem like clowns.
Some viewers in the live stream began to wonder if Wei Yutang and Chu Qing knew each other before.
The special atmosphere between them made it hard to believe that they had no prior contact before recording the show.
When Wei Yutang was filming a movie, one of the investors' children really liked him.
If you go to the event and only get a group photo without even exchanging a few words, that's already considered very rare.
The explanation at the time was that Wei Yutang was busy filming and didn't have much time to focus on other things.
But most people can guess the reason: Actor Wei doesn't like this kind of thing.
Wei Yutang is not the type of person who likes children, and it's unlikely that he changed his personality just because Xiaxia is cute.
If there was any prior relationship between him and Chu Qing, then logically speaking, it would be understandable to extend that affection to Chu Qing's family.
I'm getting more and more curious about their relationship. I wonder if the production team will clarify this in a later segment.
What could possibly be the connection? Is this another case of online trolls getting involved?
[I really can't understand what connection an international film star could possibly have with some nobody? Stop trying to get close to me, okay? Use your brain!!!]
[Exactly, if Wei Yutang really knew Chu Qing, would Chu Qing have been completely unknown in the entertainment industry before recording this variety show?]
Any actor who has worked with Wei Yutang would market themselves as friends shortly after the collaboration ended.
Even a piece of jewelry from a brand like Wei Yutang can become a bestseller simply by associating itself with them, let alone when it comes to celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Even the slightest connection would make it impossible to find someone who doesn't exist.
[Don't say things too soon. If I'm not a paid troll, you'd better kowtow and apologize to me.]
[What do you mean by "paying someone else to do something"? Can you watch the whole live stream before you speak? If you haven't watched it, go back and watch the replay, okay?]
Anyone who watched the live stream with their eyes would never utter the words "paying someone else to help them."
Chu Qing had no intention of getting close to Wei Yutang at all. On the contrary, because his attitude towards Wei Yutang was so bad, he was scolded several times.
The term "paying extra" is inappropriate for either Chu Qing or Wei Yutang, but if we really have to compare the two, Wei Yutang's attitude towards Chu Qing is clearly more realistic.
Outsiders speculate that, given Wei Yutang's temperament, he probably has very few friends in the industry, aside from those who deliberately try to ride his coattails.
He doesn't really have many friends in the entertainment industry, but a few he's quite close to came to watch the live stream.
Compared to fans who don't know much about Wei Yutang, these friends seriously doubt whether Wei Yutang has become a different person.
Based on what Chu Qing said and his attitude towards Wei Yutang, it would be very difficult for either of them to have a second contact.
Chu Qing was preparing lobsters in the kitchen. It wouldn't be appropriate for Xia Xia to eat something too spicy, so he planned to make it with garlic.
Seasonings don't need to be extracted; you can use any garlic you have in the kitchen.
Xiaxia ran over and saw that it was crayfish, so she rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her little hands to help.
Before he could even touch the lobster, Chu Qing grabbed his wrist.
Xiaxia looked up and met her father's gaze, tilting her head innocently, her expressive eyes seeming to ask him what was wrong.
"Its pincers might pinch your hand, so could you help wash its belly?"
Xiaxia really wanted to play with the lobster, but after her father stopped her, she had to settle for second best.
Wei Yutang also went into the kitchen to help. He rarely went into the kitchen growing up, as he had a chef at home and an assistant to take care of everything when he went out.
Seeing Chu Qing and Xia Xia busy there, I stood beside them and slowly learned how Chu Qing handled the lobsters.
Both Chu Qing and Wei Yutang had beautiful hands, long and slender with well-defined knuckles. Chu Qing, in particular, had a cool, pale complexion, making even holding a lobster a pleasing sight.
At first, the audience was just watching for fun, but when some experts arrived at the scene, they began to comment on the various details of their interactions.
The use of words further enhanced the sense of reality in the originally virtual atmosphere, attracting more and more fans to the couple, who found the chemistry between them increasingly appealing.
I just went out and took a closer look. Is this really a legitimate reality show about raising children?
While others are dealing with relatives taking care of their kids or struggling to work out with their partners, here we're a happy family of three!!!
[It seems... there really is... a tiny bit... good to ship!!!]
Seeing this scene, the system sitting in front of the electronic screen really wanted to cross its legs like its owner when it was relaxed.
Although it is a system, it does not understand human emotions, nor does it understand why someone as outstanding as Commander Chu would be with a marshal who is like a large dog.
However, this doesn't prevent it from having the illusion of pink bubbles popping out of the program when it sees this scene.
Once it has earned enough points through working, it must go to its owner to upgrade its system, lest too many pink bubbles cause the system to malfunction.
In this world, Wei Yutang's figure remained as tall as ever, and Chu Qing only reached slightly below his shoulder.
Having never been in the kitchen before and having little cooking experience, I was a little slow when handling the lobster.
