Chapter 49 part 3

When the segment featuring Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu chopping firewood aired, it was as if the production team had a telepathic connection with the audience. Through music and editing, they managed to convey a sense of “motherly love and filial piety” from the subtle and ambiguous atmosphere at that time.

Xia Shutong understood why the production team handled it this way.

Although they tried to be cautious during the filming of the first episode, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu’s interactions were still observed by the production staff. If their daily interactions were completely broadcasted, based on the imaginative nature of netizens when it comes to “shipping” relationships, something would definitely be noticed.

However, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu had not yet intended to make their relationship public, so the production team deliberately guided the audience to think in terms of a familial connection.

With this in mind, Xia Shutong glanced slightly at Yun Feiwu.

She did not want Yun Feiwu to hide their relationship and live with her secretly forever. The news of their marriage would eventually be announced, but she only started considering this issue at this moment.

When would be the most appropriate time to make it public?

Yun Feiwu was deeply engrossed in watching the TV, but after noticing Xia Shutong’s gaze, she slightly tilted her head in confusion and asked, “Hmm?”

【Thanks, Director Xia!】 flooded the screen.

Yun Feiwu laughed out loud once again.

Xia Shutong suddenly turned her head and glared at her playfully.

Yun Feiwu quickly restrained her smile and refrained from making any mocking remarks about “President Xia.”

The screen flashed to noon.

Ouyang Chao was tricked into eating the wild herb, and the barrage was flooded with “hahaha” once again, sparking a discussion about whether the herb was delicious or not.

“When the ‘Best Taste of Braised Lotus Roots’ Party and the ‘Worst Taste of Braised Lotus Roots’ Party were about to fight, the screen quickly switched to the afternoon scene.

Ouyang Chao and Zhou Hanchi were called to help their neighbor Zhang Shen tidy up the house, while Xia Shutong and the others went to visit the village chief.

First up was Ouyang Chao’s segment.

Ouyang Chao was obediently running up and down, completely unaware of what was wrong, as Auntie Shen bossed him around.

However, the audience quickly noticed: 【Silly Ah Chao, this auntie is interested in you!】

【Hahaha, because he looks so handsome, the auntie mistook him for a laborer and doesn’t want to let him go. What a pitiful handsome boy.】

【Ah Chao, run away quickly! Boys should always protect themselves when they go out.】

【Hahaha, Ah Chao really has no clue. Sigh, this child is so naive. Could it be that he bumped his head when he was young?】

【If I remember correctly, Ah Chao did have a head injury when he was young, but I think it wasn’t from falling.】

【Yeah, I know too! I heard he got it from a fight. Silly child, he was even proud when talking about his wound, saying it was a symbol of honor.】

Reading these several live comments, Xia Shutong couldn’t help but be stunned.

She remembered when she visited the set of ‘Crimson,’ Zhou Hanchi mentioned to her that ‘Yun Feiwu and Ouyang Chao used to fight, and she even broke Ouyang Chao’s head.’

“‘Maomao,'” Xia Shutong raised her head slightly, “You’ve had a fight with Ouyang Chao when you were young?”

“Huh?” Yun Feiwu was slightly taken aback, “We had one fight when we first met, but I was still young. I didn’t know any better.”

“Why did you fight?” Xia Shutong pinched her chin.

Was this little wolf cub really that fierce?

“Because at that time, he was really annoying,” Yun Feiwu chuckled softly, “Always bothering me, wanting to call me ‘Maomao’ constantly.”

Yun Feiwu’s voice abruptly stopped here.

Because she saw Xia Shutong’s gaze turn puzzled and at a lost.

…

–“Maomao Maomao Maomao Maomao Maomao Maomao Maomao!”

–“How many times do I have to say it? Don’t call me ‘Maomao’!”

–“Why not? Everyone calls you that, even Ruan Ruan…”

–“You can’t call Ruan Ruan either! She’s older than you, so you should call her ‘sister’!”

–“Hmph! I’ll call her whatever I want! Maomao Maomao Maomao Maomao Maomao Maomao, Ruan Ruan Ruan Ruan Ruan Ruan! Hmph~”

The two little ones started playfully wrestling.

Then, the scene shifted to a hospital room.

Xia Ruan wiped her tears and barged into Ouyang Chao’s room, pointing at him and scolding, “You hit a girl, you shameless person!”

“From now on, neither me nor Maomao want anything to do with you!”

“Trash! Bad person! Annoying little brat!”

Ouyang Chao, who had just finished bandaging his wound and was lying on the hospital bed, resting, said, “…?”

Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

…

The confusion in Xia Shutong’s eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a thick smile.

It turns out she used to be so hypocritical.

But back then, she was already around eighteen years old, right? How could she still be so soft, not even knowing how to curse.

If it were now, she could scare Ouyang Chao into tears.

Although it’s not something worth being proud of to make a big guy cry.

Xia Shutong smiled and exchanged a glance with Yun Feiwu. Without saying anything, the two of them tacitly shifted their attention back to the TV.

At that moment, it happened to be the segment where Xia Shutong and the others visited the village chief.

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every coffee an extra chapter would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support, so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
