Hearing her repeated syllables, Shen Wuqiu almost got goosebumps all over.
Soon it was their turn to buy tickets.
When Miss Ting saw Shen Wuqiu, she didn't rush to give them tickets, but said warmly, "Wuqiu, Boss Du said that people from our village can get tickets for free."
Stephen Chow immediately stepped forward and said, "Then give me one. I'm not from the village."
Miss Ting smiled and said, "You don't need to. Boss Du is very generous. As long as the villagers' relatives and friends have someone they know, they can go to see the flowers for free."
Stephen Chow pursed his lips and said, "Wow, this guy is pretty good at winning people over."
Shen Wuqiu quickly pulled her behind him and said to Miss Ting, "Give us ten tickets. We went to see it before, and we'll go again today to support Boss Du."
Miss Ting hesitated for a moment, then glanced behind her. "You don't need ten."
Gu Miaomiao immediately waved Simao in front of her, "Oh, our kittens count too."
"You guys are really... interesting..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Zhihe's voice came over, "You shouldn't worry about them. They're rich, they have money but no connections, unlike us."
Gu Miaomiao still remembered the score from a year ago. Lord Shen Wuqiu was magnanimous and didn't hold it against her, nor did he pay any attention to her sarcastic remarks. Gu Miaomiao, being petty, couldn't stand it. "Where did this mad dog come from? Its barking is really awful."
Who are you calling a stray dog?
Gu Miaomiao shrugged: "Whoever answers, that's fine."
"you……"
"Meow~" Shen Zhihe had just taken a little step forward when Si Mao in Gu Miaomiao's arms immediately bared its teeth at her, looking like it was saying, "If you dare to take another step closer, I'll bite you to death."
Shen Zhihe was still shaken by the terrible way he was bullied by the cat last year, so when he saw Simao's fur standing on end, he immediately backed down.
But he was still unconvinced, so he could only continue to pretend and talk big: "You better keep your beasts in check. We may be poor and have lowly lives, but that doesn't mean everyone else is the same."
Hearing her daughter being insulted, Shen Wuqiu could no longer tolerate it. Her cold, piercing gaze swept over her: "I don't expect human language from a dog's mouth, but don't bark like that, or you'll be treated like a mad dog. Shen Zhihe, if I hear you utter the word 'beast' again, I won't hesitate to turn you into a real mad dog."
"..."
Whether they knew Shen Wuqiu or not, they were all stunned, after all, they had never seen such a cold and aloof beauty so sharp-tongued and crazy.
Just as the atmosphere reached an impasse, Miss Ting quickly smoothed things over, counting out ten tickets for Shen Wuqiu, and then said to the stunned Shen Zhihe, "You've been taking care of things all day. I'll take this group of tourists over. You and Xiao Zhang can stay here and keep watch for a while."
Xiao Zhang is one of Boss Du's own people.
After saying that, Miss Ting called everyone to walk towards the Gesang flowers.
Chapter 154 Blushing
The ticket booth was about 700 or 800 meters away from the Gesang flower base. The people who went with them showed no interest in Miss Ting's introduction about Gesang flowers and instead gathered around a few furry friends to play with them.
Er Mao and San Mao were naturally a bit of a show-off, and in familiar territory, they became quite unrestrained when they let loose. They didn't resist the strangers who teased them; in turn, they would tease them back.
Of course, the strange tourists, unaware that the furry creatures were so intelligent, didn't realize that the little furballs were teasing them; they simply found the furballs particularly clever and endearing.
So, the group of people showered Shen Wuqiu and his family with compliments all the way there:
"How do you raise your cats? They are so well-behaved and adorable."
"You don't know until you compare, and the difference is shocking. When I see Little Snow White herself, I can no longer look at my unfilial son the same way."
"Waaaah, do you need another cat owner?"
...
Among the passersby praising his beloved granddaughter, Mr. Shen was the most proud. He accepted all the compliments without question and then proudly added, "You can't be envious of these. Our little darlings are far superior to ordinary kittens."
The puppies that were praised also looked smug, especially Er Mao, who even poked his head out from the lamppost by the roadside to express his agreement with a haughty "Meow~".
"My God, do I really think they can understand us?" The young girl closest to her kept trying to touch her, but every time Er Mao teased her to get a little closer, she would run away in a flash. If she ran a little further away, she would pretend to be innocent and trick the girl into coming up to her again.
"Meow~" Er Mao didn't like hearing that, so she gave her a haughty look—one eye half-closed, one ear in front of the other, her unpleasant expression full of contempt.
"..." The young girl had never seen such a human-like kitten before, and she was a little stunned. After she came to her senses, she quickly took out her phone, opened the camera, and then, as if she had just thought of something, asked Gu Miaomiao, who was holding her hand, "Excuse me, may I take a picture of her? She is so cute."
Gu Miaomiao glanced at her lazily, and seeing the other person staring blankly at her with a completely stupid expression, she felt inexplicably annoyed and simply refused: "No."
The young woman was a little disappointed, but continued to ask, "Can I just take one picture? I promise I won't even post it on WeChat Moments, I'll just keep it for myself..."
Gu Miaomiao has never had much patience for anyone other than her partner. "You talk too much..."
"Lingyu, what are you saying to that person?" Just then, Shen Wuqiu walked over with Da Mao and A Shu. She had been busy talking to the passersby and hadn't paid much attention to Gu Miaomiao. But when she got closer, she saw a strange girl standing there with a flushed face, looking flustered, so she came up and asked her.
"He didn't say anything." Seeing his wife, Gu Miaomiao immediately turned into a sweet cat. "I've been waiting for you."
Seeing his mother approach, Er Mao immediately darted over and rubbed against her legs, meowing.
Shen Wuqiu looked down and patted her head. "You can't run so fast later, and you can't roll around and run around in the flower field like last time."
Last time when the family went to see the Gesang flowers, Er Mao darted into the flower field without them noticing for a moment, and they couldn't find a trace of her. It was only after she playfully rolled around in the middle of a flower field that Gu Miaomiao finally managed to bring her back.
Having been exposed in front of everyone, Er Mao was a little deflated, unsure of where to vent her anger. Seeing Da Mao and A Shu obediently following behind Shen Wuqiu, she didn't dare to do anything to her older sister, so she could only glare at A Shu and meow fiercely.
But his fierceness lasted only three seconds. When he saw Da Mao looking over, he immediately ran forward again, looking disheveled.
However, the leash was only two meters long. Since Gu Miaomiao didn't move, she couldn't run far either. So she angrily hid behind a lamppost, leaving her tail wagging there.
They're absolutely adorable.
Shen Wuqiu looked at Er Mao, this little sulky guy, and couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, Sanmao came running up, with Stephen Chow chasing after her, shouting, "My little auntie, slow down..."
Sanmao, as an internet celebrity cat, is the most popular. As she walked here, she was surrounded by people praising her, and everyone was teasing her. Ironically, she ended up walking at the very back.
Sanmao seems to be born to be a star. She enjoys being loved and fawned over, and she's been quite cooperative the whole time. But as soon as she saw the older girls had gone to the front, she immediately rushed up.
Chow Sing-hsing was caught off guard by her running and even lost his grip on the leash.
"How did I explain things to you before I left home? You can't run around like this outside, especially on the road, you know?" Shen Wuqiu picked up the leash, handed it to Gu Miaomiao, and then tapped Sanmao's forehead to scold him.
Sanmao was thick-skinned; he let it go in one ear and out the other, then turned around and gave his mother a little peck. Anyway, she heard it, but whether she actually listened was another matter.
Zhou Xingxing was panting as he ran over. He noticed a strange young woman standing next to the family, who kept glancing at Gu Miaomiao. He didn't think much of it at first, but wondered, "Beautiful lady, why are you blushing?"
The young woman hurriedly looked away, touched her face, and said awkwardly, "Maybe it's too hot?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Miaomiao again. Shen Wuqiu noticed this as well. Her woman's sixth sense set off alarm bells in her heart, but she walked to Gu Miaomiao's side without showing any emotion and affectionately brushed the stray hairs that had blown onto her face.
Stephen Chow is a straightforward person. "Why are you always peeking at her?"
The young girl was even more embarrassed and said shyly, "This lady is really pretty."
Gu Hanhan rolled his eyes. "Do you even need to tell me?"
"..." Perhaps because her response was too unexpected, the young girl was even more embarrassed. She forced a stiff, fake smile and glanced at Chen Wuqiu, "This older sister is pretty too."
Gu Hanhan immediately blocked her view, "Then you don't need to tell me."
Shen Wuqiu's inner alarm bells quickly subsided. Facing this silly girl, she even felt a little sorry for her, so she came to her rescue: "She was just joking with you, don't mind her."
The young girl stared at their clasped hands for a moment, then quickly laughed, "Pretty sisters are definitely a better match for pretty sisters."
That was a reasonable suggestion. Gu Miaomiao gave a soft hum, thought for a moment, and then asked Shen Wuqiu, "By the way, Qiuqiu, she said she wants to take a picture of Er Mao to keep as a keepsake, is that okay?"
The young woman immediately perked up and looked at Shen Wuqiu with anticipation, "Sister, is it okay?"
Shen Wuqiu nodded, "But we can't be in the photos."
"I definitely won't."
As she spoke, she quickly opened the camera app.
Now that he didn't have to lead Sanmao around, Stephen Chow took out his selfie stick and started fiddling with the live stream. Seeing that the young woman genuinely loved cats, he gave her a thoughtful suggestion: "What's the point of taking a picture and saving it? You might as well follow me. I'll be live streaming about my little darlings every day from now on."
"Huh?" The girl immediately looked at her. "Where are you streaming?"
"D-yin." After setting up his phone for the live stream, Zhou Xingxing opened his account. "Here, this is me. I'm about to start my live stream."
The girl immediately opened her app and followed her. "That's perfect. I'll definitely watch your live streams every day from now on. I really love cats, but my mom is allergic to cat and dog fur, so we can't keep cats at home."
“Then you can raise cats virtually from now on.” Zhou Xingxing said to her while starting a live stream.
The live stream had just started, and there weren't many people in the room yet. Zhou Xingxing didn't pay much attention to it. He took out his phone and shone it in places where there were no people while casually introducing the stream.
Soon, the group arrived at the Gesang flower base.
When they arrived, they discovered that there were far more people coming to see the flowers than Shen Wuqiu had expected; the field ridges were still crowded with people.
Seeing so many people, Su Yunzhi sighed, "People these days are so idle. What's so interesting about this flower?"
“This means everyone’s living standards are high now.” Shen’s father loved to argue with her. “You think everyone is like you, and you’re even comparing it to life in the 70s and 80s.”
Su Yunzhi was too lazy to argue with him, so she led Simao to another ridge in the field.
With so many people around, Shen Wuqiu didn't want to join in the fun anymore. She asked Zhou Xingxing, who had been taking pictures here and there, "Where are you planning to go to start your live-streaming career?"
Stephen Chow was greeting the first batch of fans who appeared in the live broadcast room and didn't notice what she said, so he had to turn off the sound, grab a selfie stick and catch up with them, saying, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
"I asked you which livestream you were planning to do. There are quite a lot of people here. Should we find a less crowded place?"
"I'm fine with anything." Zhou Xingxing listened to her, but his eyes didn't leave the phone screen. Seeing the number of viewers in the upper right corner increasing, he was overjoyed. "Qiuqiu, let me tell you, our Sanmao is really popular. I did a short live stream this afternoon, and there weren't many people watching. I just said I would do a live stream with Sanmao, and now, after less than ten minutes, there are already almost three hundred viewers."
"Alright, then Sanmao is yours." Shen Wuqiu said, glancing at Sanmao in Gu Miaomiao's hand with a headache. In just two minutes, the leashes of the two sisters, Ermao and Sanmao, had gotten tangled together again, and the two sisters were once again vying to rush into the flower field to cause trouble.
"Okay, leave Sanmao to me... Hey? How come those two are together again?"
Shen Wuqiu handed her the leashes for Ah Shu and Da Mao, saying, "You hold their leashes for a bit, and I'll go help untie them."
Zhou Xingxing nodded, watching as Da Mao and A Shu obediently squatted on either side. She glanced at the screen briefly:
[Hey blogger, where are you?]
[Wasn't it supposed to be about bringing internet celebrity cats into the situation?]
I'll just quietly wait for the car to overturn.
I'll just quietly wait for the car to overturn.
I'll just quietly wait for the car to overturn.
...
Amidst the flood of comments anticipating a disastrous outcome, Stephen Chow turned the audio back on, adjusted the camera, and included the Gesang flowers in the shot, saying, "Live from Gesang Flower Paradise, I keep my word!"
