Chapter 62: The Fight between Young Beasts
Time goes back to half an hour ago—

Nanyi entered the amusement area, climbed the rope ladder, sat on the seesaw, and played with the ocean ball...

Enjoy yourself and don't feel alone.

Even the waiter in charge of looking after the child felt that this child was the most well-behaved and least troublesome one they had ever seen.

In addition, she has a delicate and beautiful face like a BJD doll, and when she purses her lips and doesn't smile, she has a cool and fairy-like aura... She is simply a fairy walking on earth, okay?
Even adults think so, and she is even more dazzling in the eyes of children.

After all, most children are visual animals.

Soon two little girls came over and invited Nan Yi to play with them.

After a brief hesitation, Nan Yi nodded in agreement.

This scene was seen by several little boys who occupied the slide, and they immediately became unhappy.

Because not long ago, little boys tried to join the girls in playing house, but were sternly rejected.

The leading little boy was filled with resentment and looked at Nan Yi...

Hmm? Look familiar?

Wait, isn't this the famous stray cat in their neighborhood?
He got his name because he always runs around the neighborhood like a homeless stray cat, all dirty.

The little boy arrogantly jumped down from the slide and walked over to block Nan Yi's way:

"Stop right there, little beggar!"

He and the villains behind him surrounded Nan Yi together.

Nan Yi frowned, his face cold:
"Get out of the way!"

The other little boy imitated him in a sarcastic tone:
"'Get out of the way'! Hey little beggar, you are so brave to talk to me like that! What's wrong with your clothes? Did you steal them?"

Nan Yi's eyes turned red with anger:

"No! Shut up!"

Every piece of clothing he wears now was carefully selected by his mother and bought for him!
They were not stolen!
The boys did not believe Nan Yi's words at all, but reached out to push him:

"You stole it! How did you get the money to buy clothes, you poor beggar?"

"Take off his clothes and see if he dares to keep his stubborn attitude!"

"Hit him! Hit him!"

"…"

Nan Yi knew every one of the boys.

They lived in the same neighborhood as him, played in groups, and worked together to isolate him.

Originally, Nan Yi longed to join the boys' team and become one of them.

Later, reality shattered his young heart into pieces.

There are many reasons why boys hate him -

His house is rented, not bought;
he has no parents or elders to protect him;

He was always dirty and smelly;

He was too good looking;

as well as…

No reason.

Children are like blank slate; even their malice is primitive and direct.

Their attack was a fight between young animals in the jungle.

Looks weak, but every move is deadly.

...The shadow-like memories of the past appeared before his eyes. Nan Yi clenched his teeth, his emotions fluctuating.

He tried to resist, but that only made the boys more excited.

The girls who came to invite Nan Yi at the beginning were frightened and tried to stop her with trembling voices:

"Stop bullying me! We need to tell mom!"

One of the fat boys spat,
"Bah! Snitch! If you dare to tell your mom, I'll pull your braids off!"

The girl was so scared that she burst into tears and turned and ran away.

The physical conflict between Nan Yi and the boys became more intense.

Rather than being a spur-of-the-moment decision, it was more likely a long-standing grudge.

Nan Yi also wanted to vent his anger for being bullied all the time.

The other side has more people and more power, so he definitely can't win with just his fists.

Therefore, Nan Yi almost instinctively aimed at the leader among them—

He reached out and grabbed the boy's hair!
Then he bit his ear, kicked his calf, and punched his stomach!
A series of very methodical moves directly knocked the boy unconscious!
The other boys were dumbfounded, and it was too late to stop him.

Nan Yi was already wrestling with the little boy on the ground, making it impossible for them to get involved.

Only Nan Yi was enjoying it!
Originally, it was Nan Yi who beat the boy so hard that he had no chance to defend himself.

As a result, at this moment, a woman suddenly rushed out from the side and slapped Nan Yi on the head.

One of the slaps landed hard on Nan Yi's face, cutting his delicate skin and leaving a glaring bloody mark.

There was no way Nan Yi could beat a woman who was taller and stronger than him. He was caught off guard and injured, and was a little confused for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, he was thrown away again and fell to the ground.

The woman protected her child with heartache, and cursed at Nan Yi, swearing at him, saying all kinds of dirty and ugly words.

The more Nan Yi listened, the more aggrieved he felt.

Fortunately, at this time...

We have arrived at Nanzhi!

Seeing his mother protecting him and slapping the woman twice, Nan Yi's anger disappeared, but he also felt a little guilty.

Of course he knew that fighting was wrong and was the behavior of bad kids.

Just as the woman accused, he was the first to attack.

so…

Will his mother blame him?
Will she severely criticize his behavior?
Nan Yi was both afraid and looking forward to it.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the whole story, Nanzhi didn't ask any more questions and chose to believe Nanyi without hesitation!

Nanzhi said confidently:

"My Yi Yi has always been well-behaved and never caused any trouble. He would hit your son. Wasn't it your son who caused trouble first? Why are you glaring at him? I remember your son used to bully our Yi Yi in the neighborhood! How come he only knows how to bully others and is afraid to bear the consequences of their resistance?"

The arrogant woman blinked her eyes and her tone became noticeably weaker:
"You, you are talking nonsense, my son never bullies anyone!"

Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and sneered:

"He was the one who threw mud at my child in the courtyard of the community last month, right? The community surveillance usually keeps records for three months. There happens to be a camera nearby. Why don't we call the police and check the surveillance? And what about what happened here today? Why don't we just take a look at it together?"

How could a woman not know the character of her own child?
But it was not so easy to make her give in:
"So, so what! Do you know my family..."

Nanzhi took out his cell phone, turned on the camera and pointed it at her, sneering:
"Well, what does your family do? Tell it to the camera."

The woman fell silent instantly.

Although she appears to be so arrogant, she actually knows her limits inside.

If the matter really gets out of hand, her family won't let her go!

...Finally, the woman bowed her head, apologized, and left with her child cursing.

Although the other boys did not participate in the fight, their parents watched the whole process and knew what was going on.

Not all parents spoil their children like the woman just now. Most people don't want their children to become bad guys who bully the weak.

So, those who should be blamed should be blamed, and those who should be taught lessons should be taught lessons.

Then he apologized to Nanzhi and Nanyi one after another before leaving.

Nanzhi calmly pushed her hair behind her ears, turned to look at Nanyi with starry eyes, and Xu Li who was stunned the whole time:
"Okay, let's go home." Chapter 63 An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth

On the way back, Nan Yi was so happy!

He has a good memory, and his mind keeps replaying the heroic scene of Nanzhi resolutely protecting him and confronting the bad guys.

He is young now and it is difficult to find a specific adjective.

It was much later that he realized...

So this is called planning and strategizing!
Nan Yi admired his mother so much that his blood kept boiling and he was extremely happy.

Sometimes it was like a coquettish puppy, clinging to Nanzhi's side;
sometimes it was like a lively puppy, running away and then running back;
sometimes it was like an excited puppy, jumping and circling around Nanzhi.

Those eyes, as bright as black gemstones and filled with starlight, were looking at Nanzhi wholeheartedly.

...Nanzhi's heart was melted by her gaze!

Nan Yi felt the tenderness in her eyes and finally couldn't help asking:
"Mom, how did you know that Wang Zhixing hit me with mud?"

Some unexpected questions.

Nanzhi was stunned for a moment.

How should she answer?
Could it be that the attacker who stole her skin happened to pass by and saw it, but did not step forward to stop it?

Because the attacker recognized that the child who bullied Nan Yi had an adult in the family working in the district, and adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble, he turned around and left indifferently?

Nanzhi's current actions are all about trying to erase the haze left by the attackers, and to cover it with warmer and brighter memories...

So, why would she bring it up on her own initiative?
Nan Yi thought about it and told a white lie.

She blinked mischievously:
"Because mom cares about Yi Yi, no matter how far away she is, she can see what happened to Yi Yi!"

Nan Yi covered her mouth in surprise:

"Wow!"

Nanzhi burst out laughing.

Nan Yi followed along and laughed.

Nan Yi is very smart and is a genius with outstanding IQ.

How could he not remember that when he was bullied and had mud thrown at him, his mother... oh no, should I call her that woman, didn't even bother to pay him any extra attention?
But he was still very happy.

Because his mother would deliberately make up stories to make him happy.

Well, mom really loves him!

Nan Yi's steps became more and more excited.

Nan Yi had a conflict with the boys who bullied him, and then won...

This incident spread throughout the community at the speed of light in just one afternoon.

It turned out that the girls who invited Nan Yi in the morning also lived in the same community.

When they saw Wang Zhixing and others being beaten up, they felt very angry and told their other friends.

It wasn't long before the adults knew about it.

Wang Zhixing and his group of little boys are well-known in the neighborhood for attracting cats and dogs and being annoying.

The things they did included but were not limited to: pulling out the newly planted flowers in the community flower beds, peeing in the yard of the first-floor residents, and burning the braids of little girls with lighters...

It's not that no one complains.

Unfortunately, Wang Zhixing's mother was a crazy woman who bit whoever she caught and was unreasonable. As a result, Wang Zhixing and his group of little boys ran rampant in the community, causing complaints from the neighbors.

Seeing that Wang Zhixing and his mother had hit a wall, everyone was overjoyed and quickly shared the news.

Then pass it on one by one, and one by one.

By the time Wang Zhixing found out, his image had completely changed to "a weakling who was beaten to the ground by Nan Yi without any chance to fight back and was scolded by his mother!"
Wang Zhixing cried loudly at home and asked his mother to help him get back on his feet.

His mother was very annoyed:
"Why are you looking for trouble? Who told you to provoke them first?"

Wang Zhixing's crying and screaming were like a devil's sound piercing his ears, which made his mother experience the feeling of the annoyed neighbors.

"Stop making noise!"

Wang Zhixing's mother looked gloomy.

How could she not want to get back at her husband?
She even called her husband and told him about it as soon as she got home.

Of course, the story omitted the son's arrogance and unreasonableness, and focused on putting the blame on the other party.

Wang Zhixing's father was indeed angry.

He is a small leader in the district, holding power in this small piece of land and being flattered by his subordinates.

Don't be fooled by his usual gentle and refined demeanor.

In fact, the fact that a man can spoil his wife and children to be so arrogant and domineering is enough to explain many problems.

Wang Zhixing is the only son of his family for three generations and a precious grandson, and everyone in his family loves him dearly.

Hearing this, Wang Zhixing's father couldn't stand it, so he immediately asked someone to investigate the matter!
... Mainly to find out the identity of the other party.

After all, this is the Forbidden City. Who knows if the other party has any background or connections?
I didn't know when I asked, and I was shocked when I asked.

The other party turned out to be a female celebrity!
She recently appeared on a variety show with her child and was in the limelight!

People like Wang Zhixing's father are most afraid of offending such public figures.

What if the public opinion gets out of hand and it can't be resolved?
He can't stand the investigation!

Therefore, he decisively gave up the idea, explained the pros and cons to his wife, and asked her to turn hostility into friendship.

Wang Zhixing's mother complained quietly:
"What's so great about a little star..."

Although he said so, his body was still honest and went to choose an apology gift for Nanzhi and Nanyi.
-Wang
Zhixing's family was investigating Nanzhi, and Nanzhi was also thinking about Wang Zhixing.

Although she didn't say a word about this annoying kid after she got home.

But she didn't want to affect Nan Yi's mood, but that didn't mean the matter was completely over.

End? How?

Wang Zhixing bullied Nan Yi so many times before? Just forget it?

Absolutely not!

Be magnanimous and repay evil with kindness...

These words are never in Nanzhi's dictionary!
She always believes in an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
"But we still have to take it slow, hit the snake at its weakest point..."

Compared with her mother, Nanyi doesn't have so many worries.

At noon, Meimei had a big meal cooked by Nanzhi, and he put what happened in the morning behind him.

Wang Zhixing? Who is that?
He wanted to stay at home in the afternoon, like a home-loving puppy who was reluctant to leave his nest.

It was Nanzhi who asked him to go downstairs and play.

Nan Yi saw that Nan Zhi wanted him to have normal interactions with people of his age, so he agreed reluctantly.

When he went downstairs, he was carrying a newly bought small schoolbag, which contained an extra-large lunch box.

The lunch box was filled with snacks made by Nanzhi herself.

—That's right, as a chef who once dominated the world of food, how could Nanzhi only be good at red cases? Her white cases are also amazing!
For example, Nanzhi spent less than 2 hours to make a large number of Chinese dim sum in a home oven.

The aroma when it is baking spreads for miles. Nanzhi can even hear the neighbors who can't stand the smell shouting "Whose food smells so good" from the kitchen.

Now, Nanzhi puts them in a box and lets Nanyi share them with other children while they play.

Nan Yi agreed obediently in person.

He turned around and quickly secured the lunch box in his schoolbag!
Share it with other children?

How is that possible!

He won't leave any residue for others!

He wants to eat them all!
(End of this chapter) Chapter 64 The new kid king in the community!

Nan Yi came to the children's playground in the community with his schoolbag.

There are quite a few people gathered here, including adults sitting and chatting, and children occupying the sand pit and slide.

Nan Yi, who had a great time in the morning, said that he was not the same kind of person as these silly and dirty kids.

He just planned to find a clean and quiet place to sit for a while, complete his mother's check-in task, and then go home.

Little did he know that from the moment he stepped into the amusement park, many eyes were on him.

A group of people were whispering to each other:
"Is that him?"

"Yes, it's him. I think his name is... Nan Yi?"

"I can't tell. She looks very well behaved."

"…"

Nan Yi, who was originally holding her face with her hands and looking at the greenery in the distance, keenly noticed the movement and turned back!
... The group of people immediately pretended that nothing had happened and continued their irrelevant conversation.

Nan Yi frowned, a little unhappy.

If he hadn't sensed the malice in these looks, he would have gotten up and left long ago!
Nan Yi pursed his lips, and a chill emanated from his body.

From a distance, it looks like a small iceberg that cannot be approached.

However, there are still girls who muster up the courage to approach him:
"Hello, do you remember us?"

Nan Yi: Oh, it's the guy who invited him to play house but was scared away by Wang Zhixing.

What? Are you trying to imitate Wang Zhixing and laugh at him?
—Nan Yi, who had been looked down upon and treated coldly since childhood, had never been afraid to assume the worst of others.

But the following development was a little beyond his expectations.

The girls held hands, looked at each other, and said in unison:
"Sorry!"

Nan Yi was stunned on the spot.

Then I listened to the girls continue to explain that they shouldn't run away, and that their teachers and elders taught them to help others.

Nan Yi hit the nail on the head:

"What if you help me, but get beaten together?"

The girls trembled at the same time and hesitated for a long time:

"We...we'll try not to cry!"

Nan Yi wrinkled his nose: What a fool.

But the pair of arms that were holding the schoolbag tightly loosened a lot.

Children are always perceptive. When they realized that Nan Yi was no longer as hostile as before, their suppressed curiosity resurfaced:

"That beautiful fairy who protected you this morning, is she your sister?"

"It's my mother!"

Nan Yi emphasized the word "Mom" with great unhappiness, as fierce as a small animal protecting its territory.

The girls were frightened and kept saying they understood.

Then he continued:
"Your mother is so beautiful, the most beautiful fairy I have ever seen!"

This time, Nan Yi's expression relaxed a lot, and he completely loosened his grip on his schoolbag.

He asked, "Would you like some snacks?"

Nan Yi said, as long as you praise my mother, we can be friends who can share snacks.

...completely forgetting that he had vowed not long ago to eat all the snacks and not give any leftovers to others.

The girls did not reject Nan Yi's proposal.

As a child, it is natural to be greedy.

They watched curiously as Nan Yi took out an extra-large lunch box from his schoolbag and opened the lid.

In an instant, the rich aroma of flour, ghee, eggs, sugar and other ingredients burst out and spread like a rolling wave.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire children's playground was filled with the aroma of Nanzhi's homemade snacks!
Countless pairs of eyes were attracted!

Nan Yi was so distracted by the lunch box and snacks that he didn't notice this detail at first.

He swept them one by one lovingly—

Although the lunch box is large, it is arranged in an orderly manner according to different cooking methods such as sweet, salty, fried and steamed.

And there are many varieties, beautifully arranged according to color levels, which is dazzling to look at.

There are peach cakes, egg yolk cakes, snow cakes, cloud cakes, shredded radish cakes, fried spring rolls...

Which one is the best?
Nan Yi can't tell.

Anyway, he thought each one was delicious! Super delicious!
The girls standing in front of Nan Yi were completely shocked.

They come from a well-off family and have eaten many cakes and desserts before, but none of them are as greedy as the box of Chinese desserts in front of them.

She even stuttered because she was flattered:
"You're not going to give it to us... slurp... that's so bad... slurp... Mom told me not to eat other people's food casually... slurp..."

Nan Yi picked out the peach cakes with difficulty and handed them to them:

"Do you want it?"

"…want."

You may say no, but your body is honest.

When the girls got the peach cakes, they turned around and found their mother not far away.

Girls: "We didn't want to take it, but this smells so good..."

The mother swallowed her saliva and said, "My dear, can you let me have a bite of this peach cake?"

The girls handed over the snacks in a daze, not knowing what they had lost.

In a blink of an eye, the whole playground was agitated because of the box of snacks in Nan Yi's hand!
Almost all the children swarmed over, drooling over Nan Yi's lunch box.

"Can I have a taste?"

"It smells so good, which store did you buy it from?"

"Don't push! Those who push are not allowed to eat!"

"…"

Nan Yi snorted: I won't give you any food even if I don't squeeze you in.

He raised his chin proudly, his voice full of pride:
"This was made by my mother herself!"

A pair of innocent and clear eyes lit up:

"Wow! Your mom is amazing!"

"I heard your mother is a fairy and she is very beautiful, right?"

"Really? Why don't I have a mother like this?"

"I know you, you beat up Wang Zhixing and his kids."

"It was him! So cool! You're a hero!"

"…"

In a blink of an eye, even the adults joined in the flattery:
"I heard that you, little guy, took care of Wang Zhixing and his mother? That's amazing!"

"Thank you for helping us deal with the scourge in the neighborhood!"

"Great job!"

"…"

Nan Yi went from feeling elated about her mother being praised to feeling flustered about being praised herself.

No matter where he went, children and adults would stay away from him, and it was rare for him to be praised so directly.

Therefore, Nan Yi is used to thinking that this world is a dark and dangerous jungle world, and fighting is the only rule for his survival.

As a result…why is all the kindness and warmth in the world rushing towards him now?

—What Nan Yi didn't know was that before, people didn't dislike or exclude him, but simply thought that this kid was fierce and not easy to mess with, so they stayed away from him.

So, when he put away the thorns on his body, these goodwills that had been pushed away naturally came closer again.

Even Nan Yi, who had a heart as hard as iron, was dizzy.

Praise my mom? Okay, I'll give you fried spring rolls as a reward.

You think I'm awesome? Well, I'll give you a cloud cake as a reward.

For a moment, the entire children's playground was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Everyone who has tasted it has only one thought:

There are such delicious Chinese dim sum in the world!
(End of this chapter) Chapter 65 Good Night Baby

Afterwards, let's not talk about the surge in sales at the Chinese dim sum restaurant near the community.

In the evening, Nan Yi returned home with an empty lunch box.

Nanzhi was very happy. She had just seen the grand scene in the amusement park from upstairs.

Adults and children alike crowded around his house, Nan Yi had become the new king of children in the neighborhood!
As for the real reason why these people came close, was it for snacks or something...

Nanzhi said, is this important?
She was smiling and was about to praise Nanyi, but she saw his little head drooping weakly.

Nanzhi was stunned for a second and then understood his heartache.

Fortunately, she had prepared a new stock of snacks at home early on. The various flavors of sweet, salty and fresh were enough to dispel all of Nan Yi's unhappiness and put on a smile again!

This method is obviously very useful.

By the time he went to bed at night, Nan Yi no longer mentioned the snacks that had been distributed.

Because at this moment, what occupied his mind was another thing—

"Mom, can I let Fluffy sleep with me?"

"sure."

"Mom, can I sleep with the lights on?"

"no problem."

"Mom, can I watch one more episode of TV?"

"…"

Nanzhi put down the book in her hand and smiled helplessly and dotingly.

Even though she was a little slow, she was aware of Nan Yi's true expectations behind this series of awkward behaviors.

In the shanty town, they slept on a small bed.

When I got home, I lost the opportunity to sleep in one bed because there were three rooms.

How could Nan Yi not be disappointed?

Even Nanzhi felt a little uncomfortable with it.

She patted the quilt beside her and invited happily:
"Come over!"

Nan Yi's eyes suddenly burst into great surprise!

But he didn't get into bed immediately. Instead, he turned around and ran out.

Nanzhi leaned forward slightly and looked around.

Not long after, Nan Yi came with his furry dog.

Nan Yi held up the fluffy dog high up:
"It's been washed and dried! It smells so good!"

"Okay, got it, come over here."

How could Nanzhi bear to reject him and let that pretty face be filled with disappointment?
Besides, the fluffy dog was given by her.

Nan Yi held the fluffy dog under his armpits and got into bed excitedly.

At first he tossed and turned in excitement, and Nanzhi thought he would toss and turn for a while.

The next second, a slight breathing sound was heard.

Nanzhi: ...

She reached out to pull the fluffy dog away so that Nan Yi could sleep more comfortably.

But I found that he held it very tightly in his arms, as if it was his treasure.

Do you like it so much?
Nan Yi felt pity and satisfaction.

Finally, he bent down and kissed Nan Yi's forehead.

"Goodnight, baby."

She whispered.

Originally, Nanzhi was planning to go to sleep.

Just then someone called.

Nanzhi was afraid of waking up Nanyi, so she got up and went to the living room to answer the phone.

The person calling was Boss Yang.

He experimented at home for a whole afternoon, and finally replicated the golden egg fried rice that was 80% delicious according to the recipe given by Nanzhi!

This time seems long, but the premise is that Boss Yang can't cook at all!

He is the kind of person who can even burn scrambled eggs with tomatoes!

This successfully replicated golden egg fried rice made him so arrogant that he started to suspect that he was a culinary genius. He then boldly tried other dishes, and then...

As expected, it overturned.

Boss Yang suddenly came to his senses and realized that the so-called "cooking skills" were not real cooking skills at all, but an illusion given to him by Nanzhi's recipe.

so…

Recipe, oh no, Nanzhi is the god!

"God, no, Ms. Nan, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I really don't want to wait until tomorrow... Let's cooperate! Please!"

Nanzhi was silent for a moment.

This is the first time I've heard someone beg so forcefully.

But her silence scared Boss Yang to death.

He trembled as he recalled whether he had offended Nanzhi in some way, or whether his petty and suspicious behavior had made Nanzhi unhappy...

In fear, Boss Yang was ready to use his trick of playing the victim!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Nanzhi spoke up:
"How does Boss Yang want to cooperate?"

What follows is a brief period of wrangling.

Why is it short?

Of course, it was because Boss Yang was convinced by Nanzhi. In order to continue the cooperation in the future, he was willing to agree to all of Nanzhi's reasonable and unreasonable requests.

Nanzhi was very rational. She would not give up what belonged to her, and would not take even a cent more of what did not belong to her. And because of her relationship with Xu Li, she had no intention of asking for too much.

Soon, with sincere negotiations from both sides, Nanzhi and Boss Yang successfully finalized the cooperation method -

It's not about buying out the recipe, but about sharing the profits.

That is, the profit share based on the sales of Nanzhi recipes in the restaurants owned by Boss Yang.

In addition, Boss Yang will first pay a "good faith fee" or "guarantee fee".

After all, there was only one recipe, and the amount of money was not large, but it was enough for Nanzhi's small treasury to increase from five figures to six figures.

Moreover, golden egg fried rice is just the first step in testing the waters.

If everything goes well, they will continue to work together to develop other menus.

Lu Shixu was sleepless again.

This is nothing new.

It would be a rare opportunity for Lu Shixu to sleep soundly for a whole night.

For him—

If you don't sleep, then work.

Even though the work was cold and boring, it could kill his time and keep him from being... bored.

Tao An, an assistant who lived in the guest room of Lu Shixu's courtyard house, also got up.

He complained countless times in his heart about his boss being a dishonest person.

But thinking about the high salary and the fact that the boss exploited himself before exploiting him...

Well, I'm not angry anymore!
Maybe because he was too sleepy, Tao An was not in a good state.

He was stunned for more than ten seconds after confirming his work email!

Lu Shixu's eyes followed sharply:
"What's wrong?"

Tao An hesitated again and again, not knowing whether he should tell this matter or not.

Lu Shixu had no expression on his face.

Tao An took a deep breath and said:

"This morning, Miss Nanzhi seemed to have had a conflict with someone."

Lu Shixu frowned immediately, but asked:

"Didn't the people around her evacuate?"

Tao An lowered his head and thought to himself:
If you don't speak, who would dare to withdraw?
However, Lu Shixu didn't ask anyone to follow Nanzhi.

Instead, after the last conflict, he "incidentally" arranged two bodyguards to secretly follow Nanzhi and protect her.

There are so many unexpected situations when filming variety shows, who knows if there will be other dangers?
Lu Shixu didn't know what his assistant was thinking, and the next sentence was:

"…What happened?"

Tao An was shocked and told Nanzhi and Nanyi everything about the conflict in the coffee shop.

Lu Shixu: "She is worried?"

Tao An blurted out: "Which mother wouldn't feel bad for her child getting beaten?"

Strangely, Lu Shixu fell into silence for a long time.

The pent-up energy in my body was so thick that even the air seemed thin.

Tao An didn't dare to breathe.

After a long while, Lu Shixu finally said,
"I understand. In that case, investigate that family."

(End of this chapter) Although the live broadcast of "Cub Observation Diary" has stopped, the main film is still updated every Monday.

Many people feel that the grand premiere was just a short-lived phenomenon that happened to coincide with a hot topic.

It won't be long before the true popularity of variety shows will be revealed…

The result is just the opposite.

Since the second episode, the ratings and topics have skyrocketed.

When the third episode was aired, the ratings jumped directly to first place in the same time slot!

The leaders of J TV and S Video were all so happy!
They thought this new variety show might do well, but they never thought it would do this well!

Whenever it is broadcast, whether it is the guests' outfits, cute kids' quotes, parenting concepts... or Nanzhi's food, these are very much in line with current hot topics and can set off one wave of discussion after another!

The variety show "Cub Observation Diary" has become the most talked-about show and the dark horse of the year!
Among this popular show, two people have received the most attention.

That's right, it was Nanzhi and Nanyi mother and son.

Regardless of whether they are mixed red and black, they are well-deserved hot spots nowadays—

The same food as Nanzhi has become popular on social platforms, and all food bloggers are copying it;
Nanzhi's ordinary sweater suit and sneakers are sold out in the online store;

Nanzhi tied her hair into a low bun, and hair bloggers followed suit and released tutorials on how to tie it in a lazy and casual style like hers;

There are also clothes that Nan Yi wears, and children's clothing stores are hanging up the same styles;

Nan Yi's little boss emoji package dominated the chat box and went viral;

As for how to develop Nan Yi's super memory, there are a lot of useful posts on the Internet;
...

Sure enough, the end of everything is to bring goods.

Some netizens even speculated maliciously that Nanzhi would start live streaming to sell goods, or take on promotions to make a lot of money...

Nanzhi did not do so.

Her Weibo account, which used to post a hundred or eighty messages a day, has now stopped updating.

No new business, no incoming group messages.

Along with Nan Yi, they completely disappeared from the social media platform!
Just when everyone was puzzled and even disappointed.

Someone came out and revealed that Nanzhi was cooperating with a food company to make pre-prepared meals.

The next step is to officially change careers, cross over to become a celebrity chef, and run his own food brand.

As soon as this seemingly outrageous news came out, it really set off a social network explosion, and people were talking about it:

[It sounds a bit outrageous at first, but if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense. ]

【Nanzhi's cooking skills are better than her acting skills.】

[Looking at Nanzhi's previous works, she was just a slacker who didn't want to act and just wanted to make money. Now that she has a faster and more convenient way to go, it's normal for her to make this choice. ]

[Why do I feel this is great? Nanzhi finally doesn't have to harm my eyes with her poor acting skills! ]

[Yes, she no longer harms your eyes, but your stomach! /smile/]

[What's good about it? Pre-prepared dishes are all garbage! Nanzhi will be criticized for making pre-prepared dishes for the rest of her life! ]

[You must be crazy about money! Anyway, I won't spend a penny! ]

No one knew that the revelation came from a company that wanted to cooperate with Nanzhi but failed.

This black-hearted boss was already very upset about being rejected by Nanzhi and felt that she was ungrateful.

Who would have thought that I would hear about the collaboration between Nanzhi and someone named Yang!

Not long ago, the unscrupulous boss proposed cooperation to Boss Yang, hoping that all of Boss Yang's chain restaurants would switch to his cooking bags, but Boss Yang refused.

With the combination of two things, the unhappiness in the black-hearted boss' heart reached its peak!

So he deliberately had someone expose the matter in order to teach Nanzhi a lesson.

His behavior has indeed brought bad criticism to Nanzhi at the moment.

The problem is…

Nanzhi has been criticized for so many things!
Netizens scolded her to vent their anger and then forgot about it.

Moreover, just a few days later, Boss Yang's chain restaurant launched a new product, Golden Egg Fried Rice, which restored 80% of the taste of the Nanzhi fried rice stall!

Coupled with the advantages of being affordable, convenient, clean and sanitary, it quickly became a hit once it was launched on the market! It ranked first in sales!

By the time the black-hearted boss realized that the recipe was bought by Boss Yang from Nanzhi, it was already too late.

He was extremely jealous, but he didn't know that this was just the beginning.

Shortly thereafter, Boss Yang's chain restaurants launched several new products.

The hot sales not only helped them gain a firm foothold, but also successfully expanded the market and became bigger and stronger!
It also indirectly led to a decline in sales of many meal kit companies, and a number of companies went bankrupt.

The company with the black-hearted boss is one of them.

...Of course, these are all later stories.

Nanzhi was scolded and became a hot topic, and many people saw and paid attention to it.

Among them was Fu Chao.

He held the phone he had called repeatedly but no one answered, and asked his agent:
"…Is this really the number? Did you dial the wrong number?"

The agent said that he got the number from Nanzhi Agency and there couldn't be a problem with it.

Fu Chao put away his phone, feeling a little annoyed, and even more regretful that he didn't ask Nanzhi for a WeChat message when the filming was over.

"It shouldn't be a problem."

He muttered to himself.

The agent also heard it and couldn't help but:

"Brother Fu, are you paying too much attention to this Nanzhi?"

Seeing that Fu Chao didn't react, the agent's tone became more serious.

"Honestly, with your fame and status, how many flies would want to fly over and suck your blood? It's not enough for us to just walk around those women, how can you take the initiative to send signals to Nanzhi? What if she misunderstands that you are interested in her and hypes it up in front of the media..."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Fu Chao smiled and didn't seem to be angry at all.

But the agent fell silent instantly.

After a long while, he stammered,
"I, I didn't mean that!"

Fu Chao signaled to his agent that he could leave first.

The other party ran away as if he had been pardoned.

But the agent didn't know that after he left, Fu Chao had been thinking about his recent behavior -

This was not the first time that the agent had said bad things about Nanzhi; he had been nagging about her since the filming began.

Knowing that he still wanted to contact Nanzhi after the filming was over and truly regarded her as a friend, his agent talked even more.

And what the agent said was full of skills.

For example, appropriately revealing Nanzhi's past scandals, or inadvertently interpreting a certain behavior of Nanzhi...

If it were the previous Fu Chao, he would probably really believe these flattering behaviors.

But now, after Fu Chao had been in contact with Nanzhi for some time, he realized how biased the rumors from the outside world were.

Most importantly, he was extremely displeased by the tinted glasses his agent looked at Nanzhi with! He
felt displeased that his own child was scolded by an outsider!

This directly led to Fu Chao's idea of changing his agent!
Just as he was secretly considering it.

Someone pushed open the door of the box and walked in, his voice cold and slightly hoarse:
"Hmm? You came quite early today?"

"mom!"

Fu Chao stood up.

(End of this chapter) Chapter 67 This family of three!

The person who came was Fu Chao's mother, Ms. Qingqing—

Qingqing is the eldest daughter of the Qing family who truly grew up in a world of wealth and luxury.

She has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child, and she is gifted and intelligent.

After she started interning at Qing Corporation after graduation, it took her only 10 years to convince everyone in Qing Corporation and successfully secure her position as the new generation of power holder.

During the more than 20 years she has been in office, the Qing Group has developed rapidly and steadily, and has become a super-large group at the giant level, with its branches spreading into various fields and taking deep roots.

It seems that God is particularly kind to her and has never closed any door for her.

Even time could not bear to destroy her beauty. She is still bright and charming at the age of nearly 60, and has countless suitors.

It's just that her personality is too cold, and because she has been in a high position for many years, her every move exudes a strong sense of authority, and ordinary people don't dare to approach her.

Only when facing his son Fu Chao, Qing Qing would show some gentleness:
"I heard that you took Qing Xi to record a variety show? If it's hard, remember to rest more."

"Ah… Yeah, yeah."

Fu Chao answered somewhat uncomfortably.

Who made his mother's caring attitude look too much like greeting a subordinate?
Fu Chao once suspected that Qingqing was about to start making big promises...

hiss.

He quickly shook his head to get rid of the outrageous scene.

Then he asked:

"Mom, didn't you run into Dad on the way here? He just called and said he was almost there. He should be arriving around the same time as you."

Qing Qing's expression faded a lot as he drank his tea:
"Really? I didn't notice."

But soon, Fu Chao's father arrived.

Fu Chao's biological father, Fu Yunfeng, has a life that, compared to a young lady like Qingqing who has had a smooth life, can only be described as a legend who crawled out of the mud.

Fu Yunfeng's parents died when he was young. His brother took the pension and ran away, leaving him, who was only a few years old, to be kicked around among relatives like a ball, growing up in disgust and contempt.

When he was 14 years old, because he had no money to go to school, he walked from the countryside to the town and found a job in a small restaurant. He worked hard for several years before he saved enough money to continue his studies.

After that, he encountered bullying and setbacks in his life, but thanks to his tenacious character, he gritted his teeth and persevered again and again.

Thanks to his part-time job and smart brain, he was successfully admitted to university, and thus got to know Qingqing.

When the two decided to be together, many people were not optimistic about this relationship because of the huge gap between their wealth.

Who would have thought that Fu Yunfeng started from scratch and made a name for himself in the business world.

Although some people gossiped behind his back in the early years, saying that Fu Yunfeng's success was due to the support of his father-in-law.

But today, no one dares to say such things, and everyone can respectfully address Fu Yunfeng as Mr. Fu.

And the first thing Mr. Fu did when he pushed the door open was to apologize.

He has gentle and handsome features, and his age does not seem obvious.

When he wears glasses, he doesn't look like a businessman at all, but rather like a university professor.

The voice was even more gentle and elegant:
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so we are a little late."

Pop.

The crisp sound of the teacup hitting the marble tabletop.

Fu Chao and Fu Yunfeng both looked at Qing Qing immediately.

Qingqing looked nonchalant, as if she was not the one who deliberately put the teacup down heavily.

Fu Chao sighed silently.

Fu Yunfeng pursed his lips, his eyes full of bitterness.

The atmosphere in the box suddenly became stagnant and cold, and everyone felt awkward and uncomfortable.

However, under the order of Fu Chao's grandparents, the three of them must not miss the monthly dinner, even if they are in Antarctica, they must fly back!
In addition, the family of three must take a photo and check in, and upload it to the grandparents' assistant as "homework" for archiving, so that the elders can check it at any time!
So, after his parents sat down one after another, Fu Chao took out his mobile phone:

"Let's take a selfie today."

Then turn on the front camera.

The private room of this restaurant had a large round table, and sitting next to him was his mother Qingqing.

Father Fu Yunfeng sat on the other side of my mother.

There was an empty space between the two of them, and the distance was far enough for horses to run back and forth.

Even though Fu Chaoren was tall and had long arms, he couldn't include all three of them in the same shot.

Fu Chao had no choice but to say:

"Dad, how about... you sit closer?"

Fu Yunfeng didn't answer, but looked at Qingqing cautiously first.

Qingqing ignored him and treated him as air.

Fu Yunfeng understood that this meant agreement.

He quietly pulled out a chair and sat down next to Qingqing, a sincere smile slowly appearing on his face.

Fu Chao saw it through the camera and laughed too.

Although Qingqing in the middle was still cold as ice.

But this does not hinder Fu Chao and Fu Yunfeng's bright smiles, adding warmth to this family portrait.

Fu Chao thought thankfully: Great, my mother is in a good mood today!
He suddenly became active, and as a qualified filial son, he began to circle around his parents.

I was very busy, sometimes recommending dishes to them and sometimes asking about their health.

This all went very well.

Even though Qingqing didn't even glance at Fu Yunfeng;

Even though Fu Yunfeng smiled and didn't say much throughout the whole process;

Even though Fu Chao alone accounted for 80% of the conversation,
the atmosphere was generally pleasant.

…until a bowl of almond cheese was delivered from the store.

Almond yogurt, also known as almond tea.

"Suiyuan Food List" records: pound almonds into paste, remove the residue, mix with rice flour, add sugar and boil.

This classic Chinese dessert has existed since ancient times. An ancient poet praised it in a poem: "The streets are bustling in the early morning, and the food is delicious and can moisten the lungs and produce saliva. A bowl of nectar is really delicious, and nothing is sweeter than almond tea."

A bowl of freshly boiled, hot and thick almond cheese is white in color, sweet and delicate, and has a rich flavor. It also has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. It is best to have a bowl after a meal.

The waiter who brought the almond cheese said that this was a dessert specially prepared by the chef for tonight's VIP guests.

When Fu Chao saw this, he thought to himself that it was bad and quickly waved his hand:
"Withdraw."

The waiter stopped midway.

Fu Chao had no choice but to wink again.

The waiter didn't understand why, but was still ready to take the almond cheese away.

Qingqing spoke:

"No need to take it, just leave it here."

"mom."

Fu Chao shouted softly.

Qing Qing looked calm as she personally brought the almond yogurt to her and stirred it gently with a spoon:
"Mm, it smells really good. No wonder your sister likes to drink it and asks for a bowl every day when she wakes up. But I was afraid that she would rot her teeth if she ate too much, so I always made up all kinds of excuses not to let her eat it... Now that I think about it, I'm really not a qualified mother. I couldn't even let her eat a bowl of almond yogurt, but I don't know if she will have the chance to eat it later."

This is what Qingqing said the most tonight.

But every word was like a knife, piercing the hearts of everyone present and making them bleed.

Fu Chao's face was full of worry.

Fu Yunfeng's internal organs were in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.

He called softly:
"Xiao Qing..."

"Don't call me!"

Qing Qing shouted angrily!

(End of this chapter) Chapter 68 My Daughter Zhizhi

Qingqing looked at the face in front of him—

The once unruly and unruly person has been tamed into humility and gentleness, and all the sharp claws and edges have been hidden tightly...

But Qingqing knew that these were all fake!

Although Fu Yunfeng was born in a humble family and lived in a desperate situation, he was born to be a proud eagle. The blood of an adventurer flows in his bones. He is bold and ambitious and never knows what fear is!

Back in college, everyone knew her identity as the eldest daughter of the Qing family, and they either kept their distance from her or tried to curry favor with her. Only he dared to treat her as a competitor and confront her at every turn...

But on a certain summer night when cicadas were chirping restlessly, he unexpectedly told her that he loved her.

After they got together, no one was optimistic about this relationship, thinking that the gap between their social backgrounds was too big, and that there was often no good outcome for a favored girl falling into the mud, and when reality wore away love, all that was left was a mess.

Fu Yunfeng sneered in front of her, but secretly cared about her to death. He gritted his teeth and told her that he would keep climbing up until he reached a position that was worthy of her!

She didn't need to lower herself, didn't need to fall into the mud, she just needed to stand high and wait for him!
Fu Yunfeng, who said those words, was still a young man in white clothes, with a vigorous flame burning between his eyebrows!
Qing Qing never doubted his words.

She loved his willfulness, his bold ambition;
she loved his bravery, his fearlessness of rules.

But…

How much you loved once, how much you hate later.

I hate him for being reckless and cruel, and doing things without leaving any room for maneuver;
I hate him for being impatient and ruthless, and making so many enemies.

The more Qing Qing thought about it, the thicker the hatred in her heart became, like magma rolling!
The corners of her eyes were scarlet, as sharp as a blade, piercing straight into Fu Yunfeng's eyes:

"Just now you said you were late because of traffic, right?"

Fu Yunfeng nodded hesitantly:

"Yes, I…"

"Stop lying! You obviously went to see that person!"

Qingqing clenched his hands on the table until his knuckles turned white.

Her words made Fu Yunfeng and Fu Chao's expressions change slightly.

Fu Yunfeng suppressed his brows and whispered flatteringly:
"Xiaoqing, I, I don't want to lie to you..."

Qing Qing interrupted him directly:
"So, did you find the answer after you went there?"

Fu Yunfeng's eyes were gloomy and he didn't say anything.

Qing Qing sneered:

"Is this why you kept him around? Do you think he will tell the truth sooner or later? I tell you, no! He hates you! He hates you for destroying his family and causing his parents to commit suicide! That's why he kidnapped my daughter! To avenge you! For more than 20 years, my Zhizhi's life and death are unknown, but that man can eat and drink well in prison and see the sun every day... Why! I'm asking you why!"

Every word Qingqing spoke was filled with hatred, as if crying blood.

Fu Yunfeng and his son Fu Chao were in so much pain that they were in tears.

This reminded Fu Chao of many years ago.

He remembered the joy and excitement when his sister was born;
he remembered the jealousy and dissatisfaction when his parents doted on his sister more than him;
he remembered his sister couldn't even walk steadily, but she still chased him and called him brother in a baby voice;

He recalled that one day when he came home from school, everyone in the family was in a state of worry and there were police officers everywhere. He was terrified when he learned that his sister was missing...

Fu Chao knew that the media and the public speculated that his sister had been abducted.

Fu Chao never responded to this.

Because he doesn't know which is better, trafficking or kidnapping.

Trafficking may offer a glimmer of hope for survival.

But kidnapping...

Or was he kidnapped by his father's enemies...

After the incident happened that year, the kidnappers couldn't wait to turn themselves in.

He said that it was Fu Yunfeng who killed their family, and he didn't do it for money or profit, he just wanted revenge.

So he killed Fu Yunfeng's beloved youngest daughter, destroying their family.

Fu Chao will always remember what the kidnapper said:
"... I stuffed her into a sack full of stones, and she opened her beautiful eyes and begged me to let her go. I agreed and said I would send her home... She laughed happily, called me uncle, and asked me why I was crying... Haha, why was I crying? Of course, I was happy to think that her father would sink in pain like me from now on!"

In fact, Fu Chao was not allowed to be at the scene, he sneaked over on his own.

Even the words I heard were intermittent and incomplete.

But his parents listened to every detail told by the kidnapper word for word.

Since then.

His parents no longer loved each other, their relationship broke down, and they were like a resentful couple.

This is exactly what the kidnappers want to see.

"No, Zhizhi is not dead."

Fu Yunfeng, who had been keeping his head down and not daring to refute Qingqing's accusation, suddenly raised his eyes.

The eyes behind the lenses vaguely reveal the arrogance and stubbornness of those days.

He said categorically:
"The few details he said don't add up at all! So the truth must not be as simple as he said! For more than 20 years, there has not been a day that I haven't thought about his death! But even if he dies, he must first tell me where my Zhizhi is!"

The family dinner ended in a bad mood.

Qingqing took Fu Chao back to the Qing family's old house.

Fu Yunfeng wanted to follow, but in the end he didn't dare.

When they arrived at the Qing family's old house, it was still early and Fu Chao's grandparents were not asleep yet.

Qingqing's expression looked strange since he entered the door.

Grandma Xiao Qingfen saw it.

While Qingqing and Grandpa Qingshan were in the study to discuss something, Xiao Qingfen secretly pulled Fu Chao aside:
"Isn't it your family dinner today? Why does her face look so stinky?"

Fu Chao was in low spirits and told everything that had happened today.

Xiao Qingfen curled her lips when she heard this:

"Your mom is completely hypocritical! Believe it or not, if your dad really wanted to kill that bastard Xu Dong, she would be the first one to disagree! She just wanted to find an opportunity to scold your dad! Your dad is the same, he is usually so smart, how could he not see it? He even got into a fight with your mom!"

Xiao Qingfen's tone was full of dissatisfaction and disgust towards Fu Yunfeng.

My grandmother's attitude towards my father has always been like this since my sister Qingzhi disappeared.

Logically speaking, Fu Chao should be used to it.

But today, for some reason, he suddenly asked:
"Grandma, do you hate my dad?"

As soon as Xiao Qingfen saw Fu Chao's confused eyes, she knew that the child was possessed again.

She patted Fu Chao's back vigorously:

"Alright! You kids should stay out of adult matters! No matter how much your parents quarrel, that's their own problem! Haven't you seen that they have been quarreling for so many years, but no one has mentioned divorce? If they really hated each other that much, they would have divorced long ago! It's because of the love and hate that they keep entangled with each other!"

Fu Chao sighed that grandma is indeed grandma, always understanding, and at the same time he didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"…Grandma, am I still a child? I'm already 30!"

Xiao Qingfen waved her hand indifferently:

"What's wrong with being 30? Don't your fans still call you brother when they are 18?"

The word "brother" startled Fu Chao.

He suddenly remembered that his sister Qingzhi was three years younger than him.

Calculating my age, I should be 27 years old this year.

...That's right.

How old is Nanzhi this year?

(End of this chapter) Chapter 69 He will remember this in the future!

Nanzhi, who was missed by Fu Chao, was not in Yanjing.

A day ago, she had already taken Nan Yi on a flight south to Province A.

Their first stop was the provincial capital.

When Nanzhi was admitted to Yenching University, her grandfather was so happy that he bought her a small house in the provincial capital.

Later, when Nanzhi left Yanjing, she was already pregnant with Nanyi.

Although keeping the child was an impulse, her plan was sober and long-term.

Considering the medical conditions, educational resources, growth environment, etc., Nanzhi gave up returning to his hometown and chose to settle in the provincial capital.

The mother and son lived here throughout the pregnancy, until Nan Yi was born, and until Nan Yi was half a year old.

At that time, it was inconvenient for Nanzhi to work with Nanyi, so she relied on contributing articles to magazines and translating papers to make a living. Her life was poor, but plain and warm.

...Unfortunately, the house had been sold by the attacker and exchanged for a room full of bags and clothes.

Nanzhi thought that she would buy the house back when she had the chance in the future, just as a keepsake.

Although the house is gone now, Nanzhi can tell Nanyi the story before he was born—

For example, when she was pregnant with him, she went to the supermarket to choose milk powder, and compared the ingredients like others, but ended up making a fool of herself;
for example, when she pushed the newborn baby downstairs for a walk, the aunt next door found out and said that newborn babies should not be exposed to the wind, so she rushed home in shame;

Another example is when she took him, who was only six months old, to the park to play. He was curious and crawled around on the grass, but accidentally caught a grasshopper and started crying loudly out of fear.

Nan Yi listened very attentively.

He thought his childhood was dark, cold and hungry.

It turns out that even when he doesn't remember, there are so many times filled with warmth.

Nan Yi felt very sorry:
"Why don't I remember anything?"

Nanzhi laughed:

"You are only half a year old and can't even walk. How can you remember these?"

Nan Yi wanted to retort and say no, he remembered it.

Maybe I forgot before.

But as his mother came back, he gradually remembered—

In countless dreams of hunger and cold, he had heard a gentle voice calling him "Yi Yi".

Therefore, even if the brain doesn't remember, his soul and his body will remember!
...But Nan Yi felt that this was a bit corny, so he thought about it and swallowed it back.

"I'll remember all of this later!"

Nan Yi announced loudly to show his determination.

Nanzhi smiled:

"Well, I know Yi Yi is the smartest. But let's keep our voices down and not disturb others, okay?"

At this time, they were sitting on a bus from the provincial capital to the town.

The car was almost full of people, many of whom were sleeping.

Nanzhi was afraid that Nanyi would be too noisy and disturb others.

Little did they know that from the moment the mother and son got on the bus, many people had been secretly watching them.

It wasn't that I had any ill intentions, or recognized them or anything like that.

I just think that this mother and son duo, the mother is gentle and beautiful, and the child is pretty and sensible, are really pleasing to the eyes!

The older sister who sat across the aisle from Nanzhi was eager to speak for a long time before finally speaking:
"Sister, your accent doesn't sound like that of a local. Are you going on a trip to a small town?"

Nanzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"Is the accent... so obvious?"

The eldest sister nodded:

"Of course! I knew it the moment I heard it!"

Afterwards, the eldest sister enthusiastically recommended to Nanzhi places to eat, drink and have fun in the town, and did not forget to praise Nanyi for how well-behaved and cute she was.

...I always feel that the latter is the eldest sister's real purpose.

After the chat, Nanzhi seemed tired, leaning back in his chair and looking out the window.

Nan Yi stared at Nan Zhi for a while:

"Mom, you're not in a good mood."

It's not a doubt, but a certainty.

Nan Yi just had this intuition.

Nanzhi wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but was defeated by Nanyi's scorching gaze.

She sighed, "Well, Mom is a little unhappy."

Nan Yi didn't understand: "Why?"

It was obvious that my mother was very excited and looking forward to it until she got on the bus.

Nanzhi didn't know how to describe her melancholy to Nanyi.

All I can say is:

"I just miss home."

Nan Yi seemed to understand but not quite.

Half an hour later, the bus arrived at the town bus station.

Nanzhi took Nanyi's hand and waved goodbye to the enthusiastic sister. Seeing that it was getting late, they found a hotel to stay in first.

She had already made plans. After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, she would immediately take a bus to the countryside.

Thinking of this, Nanzhi's vague melancholy completely dissipated, and she became as active as she had been in her girlhood for a long time.

She said excitedly:
"Yiyi, go to bed early tonight. Let's get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow to eat noodles! This is my mother's favorite restaurant. The noodle soup there tastes delicious!"

"Okay, Mom."

Nan Yi answered clearly and forcefully, but in fact his eyelids were so sleepy that they were fighting each other.

When Nanzhi saw this, he quickly turned off the lights and went to sleep.

At 5 a.m. the next day, the mother and son got up on time and went to eat the first noodle soup in Nanzhi's memory.

Counting the time, Nanzhi left this small town almost 10 years ago, since she went to college at the age of 18.

The only time I came back was when my grandfather was buried.

Fortunately, the noodle shop she remembered is still there, and the owner is still the same owner.

He just looks a lot older. The middle-aged man with black hair and a strong voice in my memory has become a kind and amiable old man.

The boss was very surprised when he saw Nanzhi.

It's not that he knew her, but he was curious why a stranger would come to eat his first noodle soup so early in the morning.

The customers who usually come here are locals and regular customers.

The boss thought that his noodles were becoming more famous and attracted tourists from other places, so he was very happy.

He patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, my noodles are absolutely delicious! If there's anything that's not to your taste, just let me know and I'll redo it for you right there!"

Then Nan Yi discovered that her mother's mood seemed to be bad again.

Why?

Just when he was at a loss for words, the face appeared.

As the name suggests, first batch of noodles are cooked in water when the noodle shop just opens.

Because the later the noodle soup goes, the more noodles are cooked, the more turbid the soup becomes, and the worse the noodles taste.

Therefore, only this soup noodle tastes the best.

It is said that when a chef who has excellent control of the heat cooks the noodles, they are 90% cooked when they come out of the pot, and the residual heat is just enough to simmer them to perfection when they are served to the customers.

The owner of this noodle shop is such a master.

Holding the bowl of noodles, Nanzhi tasted the soup first.

The soup base is made from meat bones, eel bones and chicken skeletons. It is fragrant and delicious without any turbidity.

Then eat the noodles, they are smooth and chewy, and the aroma fills the air as you chew.

It's the taste of memory.

Nan Yi took a big bite and cried out because of the heat, but he still praised:
"Mom, the noodles are delicious!"

"Um."

Nanzhi smiled widely.

But she didn't notice that someone in the corner was looking at her with suspicion.

After Nanzhi Nanyi finished eating the noodles and left, the man hurriedly took out his cell phone:

"Hello? Lao Zhao? Do you know who I just saw? Your Nanzhi!"

(End of this chapter) Chapter 70 Her Long Nightmare

After leaving the noodle shop, Nanzhi took Nanyi to the bus station and got on a bus to the countryside.

It was very early and there were not many people in the car at first.

But after a series of stops, the car was almost full.

The aisle was filled with vegetable baskets and chicken cages. The closed carriage was filled with an indescribable smell and gurgling and clucking sounds everywhere.

Nanzhi deliberately opened the car window a little.

The cool breeze of early spring blew in, diluting the odor.

When she looked at Nan Yi's expression again...

But I found that Nan Yi didn't care about the taste at all. He just opened his eyes wide with interest and looked into the black eyes of the little hen not far away!
This childish scene amused the people around him, thinking that he was really a child.

The next second, Nan Yi looked up:

"Mom, this little hen is so fat. It must be delicious to make chicken soup with it."

Nanzhi caught a glimpse of the dull expression on the other person's face and tried hard to hold back her laughter:

"Well, I'll make you some chicken soup later."

Nan Yi was totally unaware and smacked his lips.

Soon, the terminal arrived.

Finally, we are about to arrive at the destination of this trip to Nanzhi Nanyi—

Nanzhi walked slowly along the country road.

Nan Yi was jumping up and down in front, chasing the butterfly out of curiosity.

The breeze is warm and the spring scenery is bright.

It is a beautiful scene in the world.

But Nanzhi remembered that winter many years ago...

She was about 3 years old that year.

A high fever caused her to lose all her memories before the age of 3.

Since she woke up, her name has been Zhaodi, her father is Zhao Cheng, and her mother is Wang Xiaoyue.

She knew that her parents didn't like her and always thought she was weak, prone to illness, and a waste of money.

She was frightened and uneasy, and quickly grew into a child who could read people's expressions.

She would take the initiative to do housework, and in order to save money, she would use cold water to wash dishes. As a result, her little hands were covered with frostbite, turning blue, black and purple.

She would try to please her parents by serving them hot tea and massaging their shoulders and legs when they came home from get off work.

But this still doesn't stop her parents from disliking and hating her.

Then.

On a snowy winter night, her mother took her to a large iron gate and told her to stand there and not leave. If someone came out later, she should tell them that she didn't remember anything and insisted on staying.

She looked at her mother quietly, but she was extremely frightened inside.

She knew that her mother was softer-hearted than her father, so she acted like a spoiled child and wanted her mother to take her away.

But the mother still hardened her heart, let go of her hand and left.

Later she found out that behind the big iron gate was an orphanage where homeless children lived.

She doesn't understand.

What do you mean she has no home?
She obviously has a father, a mother, and a home!
For her, the week she spent in the orphanage was a long, lingering nightmare.

She thought this nightmare would continue forever.

Until that day, someone came to pick her up.

It's not the parents, but the grandpa whom I have never met.

My grandfather didn't look kind, but rather fierce, with deep and solemn brows. He often had a stern face and a fierce aura. One look from him could scare ten children to tears.

But he would tell her bedtime stories;
he would rack his brains to pick out beautiful dresses for her;
he would spend a lot of time making a dessert that she couldn't touch in order to coax her to take medicine;

Perhaps seeing that she still had feelings for her parents, her grandfather cruelly told her the truth.

It turns out that her parents are not her biological parents, she is just a child they picked up from the snow.

My grandfather said, don't force something that doesn't exist.

Grandpa said it didn't matter, from now on they were a family, would live together, and would never be separated.

Grandpa also gave her a new name, Nanzhi, following his surname.

The southern branch refers to the plum blossom.

It blooms in the frost and is not afraid of the severe cold.

This is also grandpa's good wish for her.

She woke up from her nightmare.

At the end of the road, there is a small grave mound, which is almost submerged by the overgrown weeds.

The tombstone was covered with dust, and the words on it were blurred.

Tomb of Nanping Mountain.

Nanzhi's eyebrows and eyes are gentle:

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Nan Yi slowed down his pace, stood beside her obediently, and greeted her:
"Grandpa, I'm here."

Nanzhi's heart felt warmed, and the original sadness was greatly alleviated.

Indeed, we should be happy today.

She stands here.

Nan Yi is also standing here.

"Grandpa, this is my son. His name is Nan Yi. He is a sensible, well-behaved and smart child."

Nan Yi felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

He thought about it and said seriously:

"Grandpa, you can call me Yiyi. This is my mother. She is very gentle, beautiful, and cooks delicious food. I like her very much! So don't worry, I will take good care of her!"

When Nanzhi heard the first half of the sentence, she was still laughing, thinking that her own son Yiyi was so childish and cute.

But as she listened, her smile disappeared.

My eyes felt sore and my throat felt like it was blocked.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by.

Two leaves swirled down from the tree above their heads, and with a snap, they landed right on Nanzhi and Nanyi's heads respectively.

It was like a serious yet gentle big hand was stroking their heads.

Is it a coincidence?
After experiencing time travel, rebirth, and the Raiders, Nanzhi no longer thinks that anything is impossible.

Nan Yi had never felt the care and concern from a grandparent, so he felt both surprised and excited.

He looked up and asked:

"Is it my great grandfather? Does my great grandfather like me very much?"

Nanzhi smiled:

"Well, great grandfather saw you in heaven, he must like you very much."

Nan Yi couldn't help but jump on tiptoe and clenched her hands into fists:

"I knew it! I'm going to put this leaf away!"

Nanzhi thought this was a good idea:

"Okay, how about we make it into a bookmark?"

Nan Yi didn't know what a bookmark was, but that didn't stop him from being happy.

"Uh-huh!"

Nan Yi carefully put the bookmark into her small bag as if it were a treasure.

Nanzhi looked at him and smiled.

The mother and son were so focused that they didn't notice someone approaching on the path behind them...

"Nanzhi! You're awesome! You actually dare to come back!"

A sharp and piercing shout suddenly sounded from behind!

Nanzhi had a bad feeling in her heart, and her body reacted faster than her brain. She hugged Nanyi and dodged to the side almost reflexively!
This also caused Zhao Cheng, who was rushing towards her with a shout, to fall flat on his face!

"Ouch ouch! My teeth!"

Zhao Cheng cried out in pain on the spot and couldn't even get up.

Wang Xiaoyue rushed over nervously:
"Old Zhao! Are you okay?"

As she helped Zhao Cheng up, she complained to Nanzhi,
"You just watched your dad fall? You didn't even help him up? Is there any daughter like you?"

The volume was not loud, but it was very miserable.

It seemed that the most miserable, pitiful and most sympathetic person in the world was only her, Wang Xiaoyue.

...Here comes this familiar smell of moral blackmail.

(End of this chapter) Chapter 71: Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers

"You old woman, you only know how to whine. It's useless! Get out of here!"

Zhao Cheng, who was bruised and swollen, pushed Wang Xiaoyue away and almost pushed her to the ground.

Wang Xiaoyue apologized timidly.

Zhao Cheng didn't take it seriously. He put his hands on his hips, with a beer belly and a few sparse hair hanging on his bald forehead.

He raised his chin, his nose pointed upward, like a ridiculous fighting cock, and started to curse at Nanzhi!
"... Do you think I can't find you if you blacklist my number? I'm telling you, return the old man's house to him! It's really outrageous for a money-loser to do this!"

Wang Xiaoyue, who didn't even dare to raise her head in front of Zhao Cheng, tried to persuade Nanzhi earnestly:
"Your father is right. What does a girl need a house for? You should give it to your brother. He is the root of our family! When you get married in the future, the man will know that you have a brother and won't dare to bully you, right?"

As soon as they opened their mouths, Nanzhi covered Nanyi's ears to prevent him from hearing dirty words.

But she herself was calm inside.

These two people really haven't changed at all!
Zhao Cheng is the biological son of his grandfather Nan Pingshan, but when he was young, he followed his mother to remarry and changed his stepfather's surname to Zhao. From childhood to adulthood, he has been closer to the Zhao family, and has never interacted with his biological father, and their relationship is estranged.

The only two interactions with his biological father Nan Pingshan were for Nanzhi and for the property after Nan Pingshan's death.

He is selfish, shallow, vicious, and a pure evil person.

Unlike some people who like to use their wives as guns, Zhao Cheng has always been at the forefront of doing evil and will never let the enemy's firepower reach anyone around him.

Wang Xiaoyue is Zhao Cheng's vassal. She believes whatever Zhao Cheng says. Her mind is full of her husband and son. She is numb and ignorant.

Sometimes, Nanzhi admired their shamelessness—

They had clearly abandoned her, but they still regarded themselves as parents, constantly brainwashing her to help her brother and devote themselves to him...

It's a pity that she already knew that they were not her biological parents, so how could she take these words to heart?

Hmm?
Did Zhao Cheng and Wang Xiaoyue know that Grandpa had told her the truth?
Did she tell Grandpa?
Nanzhi tried to recall.

Nan Yi spoke first:

"Shut up! Don't curse my mother!"

No matter how well-behaved Nan Yi is like a kitten in front of Nan Zhi, it cannot change the fact that the underlying color of his soul is unruly.

At this moment he was glaring at Zhao Cheng and Wang Xiaoyue fiercely, like a wolf cub ready to pounce and bite at any time.

His anger was so strong that even a villain like Zhao Cheng was frightened, let alone Wang Xiaoyue.

Nanzhi wanted to laugh.

But she still chose to comfort Nan Yi first:
"Don't be angry. When we encounter wild dogs barking on the roadside, it is wise to stay away from them. We can't bite them back. Who knows if it will infect us with rabies?"

Zhao Cheng came back to his senses and yelled angrily:
"Well Nanzhi, you damned girl actually called me a dog!"

Nanzhi was very surprised:

"Huh? You actually heard it?"

Zhao Cheng became even angrier.

However, Wang Xiaoyue noticed something was wrong.

Nanzhi seems to have changed... As expected, girls can't study too much. After going to the big city for a few years, their hearts have become wild!
Wang Xiaoyue tugged at Zhao Cheng's sleeve, wanting to say something.

As a result, Zhao Cheng was like a mad dog, biting whoever he caught and scolding Wang Xiaoyue as well!

The scene was in chaos and was extremely ridiculous.

Even Nan Yi wasn't angry anymore, and looked at them as if they were looking at monkeys in a zoo.

Seeing that the couple was about to fight, to be more precise, it was Zhao Cheng who unilaterally beat Wang Xiaoyue...

At this moment, a slender figure suddenly rushed out from the side and nimbly got between the two of them!
Zhao Cheng: "Where did this blind son of a bitch come from... Ouch! Xiao Ming! Why are you here?"

Wang Xiaoyue: "Mingming, how are you? Didn't I hit you?"

The couple was nervous and worried.

The person who came was none other than their beloved son, Zhao Ming, whom they had been waiting for for many years.

Zhao Ming is two years younger than Nanzhi. He is 25 years old this year and is a lazy gangster.

He is lazy, incompetent, and does not work properly. Since graduating from high school, he has been living off his parents and playing games at home.

But Nanzhi's evaluation of him was just two words:

Weird.

Zhao Ming brushed away his parents' caring hands and angrily questioned:
"Zhao Cheng, who are you calling a turtle son? If I am a turtle son, then what are you? An old turtle?"

Zhao Cheng, who was completely bullied by his son, smiled dryly:
"Dad was wrong. That's not what I meant."

Then Zhao Ming turned to Wang Xiaoyue:

"I haven't seen anyone since I woke up this morning. Where's my meal? Do you want to starve me to death?"

Wang Xiaoyue apologized repeatedly:
"It's my fault, Mom. I forgot about it. I was making breakfast when I suddenly received a call... Oh, your sister is back! We are looking for her to get your house back!"

Zhao Ming became even angrier after hearing this:

"That house in the provincial capital? You want me to move to the provincial capital? Great, I knew you couldn't stand me at home! You want to kick me out of the house in various ways, right? Fine! I'm going to jump into the river right now! Let your Zhao family have no descendants!"

Zhao Ming shouted that he wanted to die.

Zhao Cheng and Wang Xiaoyue were so scared that they swore to the sky and apologized.

In the end, the couple burst into tears.

The neglected southern branch and southern meaning: …

Although Nanzhi has seen it many times, every time he sees it, he still feels a sense of shock that refreshes his three views.

Not to mention Nan Yi, whose eyes were wide open!
If this kind of scene happened in other families, others would probably sigh and say that the son was unfilial.

But what happened to the Zhao family...

Everyone would just say:
Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers!
Zhao Ming cried and howled, making Zhao Cheng and Wang Xiaoyue completely forget about the house.

Afterwards, he sent the couple back home to cook.

Before leaving, Zhao Chengchao pointed at Nanzhi:

"Just wait for me! I'll settle the score with you later!"

Zhao Ming was about to leave, but he paused:
"Sis, have you been... okay these years?"

Nanzhi nodded and looked at Zhao Ming with a slightly complicated expression.

She has complicated feelings about this "brother".

I wouldn't say I like it.

Hate it? Not yet.

But she did have a lot less trouble because of him.

Zhao Ming scratched his head, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it over.

Nan Yi stared at him with disdain and caution.

Zhao Ming held it in for a long time:

"…It's not poisonous!"

Nan Yi curled his lips.

Zhao Ming complained,
"You little thing, I didn't realize you're quite picky..."

As he spoke, he unwrapped the chocolate and put it into his mouth.

While chewing, he did not forget to make a face at Nan Yi:

"You can't eat it now even if you want to! Lululu!"

Nan Yi: Childish!
Nan Zhi: "Zhao Ming, do you have something to tell me?"

Zhao Ming was stunned and hesitated for a long time, then took out a black notebook from his pocket.

"My parents secretly hid grandpa's things, but I think grandpa would rather leave them to you..."

He stuffed the thing into Nanzhi's hand, turned around and ran away.

His voice drifted faintly in the wind:

"Don't come back again!"

(End of this chapter) Chapter 72 The second episode starts recording!

Nanzhi and Nanyi stayed in the town for a total of five days.

During this period, neither Zhao Cheng nor Wang Xiaoyue looked for her.

I don't know whether Zhao Ming suppressed them or they failed to find Nanzhi's residence.

In addition to sweeping her grandfather's grave, Nanzhi also took some money and hired someone from a nearby village to look after her grandfather's grave.

In addition, she took Nan Yi to visit the old places from her childhood memories.

This includes the small restaurant opened by my grandfather.

The name of the restaurant is very simple, it's called Nanjia Restaurant.

I remember that the business was so prosperous back then that even people from the provincial capital had heard of it and would drive two or three hours over to queue up for a meal.

At that time, she truly felt that her grandfather was the best cook in the world!

Unfortunately, after Zhao Cheng took over Nanjia Restaurant, it was converted into a noodle restaurant. The layout of the restaurant changed drastically and it looked shabby and dirty.

Things are different and people have changed.

Nanzhi watched from the dark, feeling sad...

Then he reported the noodle shop.

Who made her "just happen" to run into Zhao Cheng secretly picking up rotten vegetable leaves?

The proprietress of the inn where they stayed said that a new leader had recently come to the town and wanted to develop local tourism resources and build an Internet-famous town, so he had to take strong measures to address food safety issues.

After being reported by "foreign tourists" like her, Zhao Cheng Noodle House will most likely be regarded as a negative example and severely punished.

Anyway, on the day Nanzhi and her son left the town, I heard that Zhao Cheng made a big joke known to the whole town in order to enforce the law...
-Nanzhi
and Nanyi returned to Yanjing, and as soon as they put down their luggage, they received a call from Xu Li.

Xu Li told her hurriedly that the shooting of the second episode of "Cub Observation Diary" would be two days earlier than expected.

This means that after resting tonight, they will set off again early tomorrow morning.

Nanzhi asked Nanyi if he could eat it.

Nan Yi's little face is stubborn:

"I can do it!"

In addition to the spirit of not wanting to admit defeat, Nan Yi also seemed a little expectant and eager to try.

It seems that he really likes recording variety shows.

Nanzhi thought this was a good idea.

She got up and went to the kitchen, where she saw a refrigerator full of ingredients.

These were supposed to be eaten for several days, but now the plan has changed. It would be a pity to throw away the ingredients. Why not make something and bring it to the shooting site tomorrow?
Nanzhi was thinking this when she heard someone knocking on the door.

Nan Yi's brisk voice followed:

"I'll go open the door!"

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

Nanzhi was slightly stunned.

Suddenly I remembered the day when I just came back. Nan Yi heard a knock on the door, but immediately hid under the dining table and trembled...

"Yiyi, where's your mother?"

It's Xu Li.

Nan Yi replied politely:
"Mom is in the kitchen!"

Xu Li's tone suddenly became three points higher:
"Did she know I was coming and cooked specially? Gulu."

It was the sound of Xu Li swallowing his saliva.

Unfortunately, Nan Yi "coldly" punctured Xu Li's fantasy:

"No, Mom didn't know you were coming, Aunt Xu. She made it for me!"

The last sentence is particularly strong!
Xu Li joked:
"Yiyi, you are going too far. Aunt Xu is sad and needs your hug to comfort her!"

Nan Yi was unmoved:
"No."

As he spoke, he quickly ran into the kitchen and stuck close to Nanzhi like a magnet.

Xu Li sighed and walked in skillfully:

"Nanzhi, your house is really as solid as a copper wall and an iron wall, not a single drop of water can leak out!"

Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"I took it as a compliment."

Xu Li sighed and raised his eyes unintentionally...

But he was stunned for a moment.

"You... you look... your face seems..."

Xu Li stuttered for a long time but couldn't make out what he was saying.

How to say it?

It had only been five days since they last met, but Xu Li felt that Nanzhi was too beautiful today.

She stood in the kitchen, the afterglow of the setting sun gently and delicately enveloped her, making her whole body look like a soft light filter, from her skin to her fingertips to her hair, all filled with light!
"I know!"

Xu Li suddenly realized.

"Your skin has gotten better, and your hair quality seems to have improved a lot too... Eh? Have you gained some weight? I told you that you were too thin before!"

"Nan Yi and I have been eating medicinal food recently."

After cooperating with Boss Yang, Nanzhi's small treasury became much more financially comfortable, so she decisively bought more expensive medicinal herbs and took Nan Yi to eat medicinal food every day.

Even the days he stayed in the small town were no exception. Nanzhi borrowed the kitchen from the innkeeper's wife and ate a small pot of food every day before going to bed to replenish qi and blood, and prolong life.

While the bank card balance is rapidly decreasing, the effect of good medicinal materials is also immediate.

Xu Li was surprised:

"So amazing! No wonder I just looked at Yi Yi, he is getting cuter and cuter!"

Nanzhi: Is it possible... that it's just your weird aunt mentality?
After a while, Xu Li asked Nanzhi awkwardly if he could help her with her treatment, and money was not a problem.

Xu Li worked very hard in his early years, working overtime day and night for a long time.

Later, when I entered the entertainment industry, my work and rest schedule became even more irregular, and I accumulated many old health problems.

Nanzhi hesitated and agreed.

If it were someone else, she would probably not agree.

But Xu Li is one of us, so it doesn't matter.

Xu Li was very happy to get Nanzhi's promise. He waved his hand and took over the task of packing the luggage.

Nanzhi couldn't stop her no matter what, and finally could only let her go.

That night, Xu Li slept at Nanzhi's house.

Nanyi's room where Xu Li lives.

Nan Yi and Nan Zhi live together.

The three of them decided to get up at 7 a.m. the next day and arrive at the filming location at around 8:30 a.m.

The program team required the gathering time to be 9 o'clock, which was just right.

…No wonder!
No one expected that the production team would come up with a surprise!
The V blog live broadcast preview was released at 6 o'clock.

The filming crew arrived at Nanzhi's door at 6:30.

At this time, the camera is aimed at the gate of Nanzhi's house.

Of course, the house number and surrounding environment are all coded to prevent recognition.

In the live broadcast room that had just been opened, the screen was full of question marks.

[I am not sleepwalking, am I? ]

[The Xiuxian fans saw the preview at 6am and thought it was a prank by the production team! ]

[Staying up until 6 o'clock... Brother, you are not cultivating immortality, you are courting death! ]

[So who can tell me what's going on? Wasn't the live broadcast time announced yesterday at 8 am? ]

No matter how confused they are, they continue to watch the live broadcast with curiosity.

The number of viewers continued to rise, quickly jumping from three digits to four digits.

It's 6:30 in the morning!

There is basically no preview!
A conversation is heard from outside the camera:

"Go knock on the door?"

"Will I be scolded?"

"It's good to be scolded. I don't have to worry about the ratings anymore."

The comments were so funny that the judgmental mentality was diluted.

At this time, even if a guest starts swearing, it can be made funny through post-production.

In this full of expectations...

Then the director knocked on the door.

Waited for about 1 minute.

The door is not open.

Instead, a calm yet childish voice came through the closed door:
"Who is it?"

(End of this chapter) Chapter 73 It's so real!

It's Nan Yi's voice!

The program crew and the audience were all excited.

To them, this was an unexpected answer.

It is also a more interesting answer, and it is unpredictable what will happen next!
Follow the director's gentle tone:

"We are from the Cub Watch Diary production team, and we are doing a surprise raid live. Can you open the door for us?"

The voice from inside the door was extremely decisive:

"Liar! Go away!"

Nan Yi didn't believe it at all!

The director still patiently explained:

"We know your name. You are Nan Yi and your mother is Nan Zhi, right? If you are not from the program team, how would you know this, right?"

Nan Yi remained indifferent, his logic was clear, not like that of a 4 and a half year old child:
"AI can imitate human voices to commit telephone fraud. You know my name doesn't mean anything!"

The production crew was stunned!
The comments were so funny:
[These days, anti-fraud propaganda is deeply rooted in people's hearts! Even children know about AI telecom fraud! ]

[I was worried that the program team would lower the children's vigilance and cause dangerous incidents, but the result was... I laughed to death, it was impossible to fool them! ]

[Because the person standing in front of you is Nan Yi of the Nan family, the mother's treasure, the king of memory, the god of catching thieves, the high-quality cub of contemporary humans, and the Internet-certified high-IQ genius...]

[Hahaha what the hell! I laughed so hard on my bed in the dormitory that my roommate got up and asked if anyone in the school had chickens! ]

[Compared to Yi Yi's intelligence, the program team is just stupid and cute. 】

The director tried his best to follow and even cited what happened in the previous shooting as evidence.

And Nan Yi always has only three words:
"I don't believe it."

Nan Yi was probably a little annoyed by the noise and suddenly became quiet.

Then, the production crew, who were too tired to say anything, heard the sound of telephone keys coming from behind the quiet door.

This familiar triple beep tone...

Following the director: "Nan Yi, what are you doing? You can't be..."

Nan Yi: "Mom said, if you see bad guys, call the police."

beep-

The call is connected!

The program crew held their heads and screamed: Help, help!

Fortunately, at this moment, another slightly puzzled female voice sounded in the room:

"Yi Yi, who are you talking to?"

"Mother!"

Nan Yi's tone even changed!

[Wuhu, a cold boy turns into a sweet boy in seconds! ]

[The program crew's inner thoughts: You have changed. You were not like this just now.]

[Oh no, the phone is connected! Is our program going to turn into a legal program in an instant? I actually feel like laughing! ]

[Shock! Why was such a popular variety show criticized? How could a promising director end up in jail? ]

[You little clever kids are so smart. The production crew must love you so much! ]

The director then nervously knocked on the door again:

"Nanzhi! Open the door quickly! Something big has happened!"

Your son is going to send us to sing Tears Behind Bars!
... After a long struggle, Nanzhi finally understood the whole story.

She explained the reason to the person on the phone and hung up.

Then he confirmed the identity of the visitor through the peephole before opening the door.

The moment they stepped through the door, the production crew and others were almost exhausted. If you didn't know better, you would have thought they had just finished a marathon!

In fact, before this surprise attack, the production team planned different plans based on the personality of each guest, with the aim of capturing their true state outside the show!
Now...

reality!

It's so real!
But it's the production team that's real, not the guests.

It can be called "The Thrilling Filming Record of Contemporary Program Crew"!
Nanzhi: "Ahem, sorry."

Everyone in the program crew: We all saw that you were trying to hold back your laughter, thank you.

Nan Yi was not convinced and snorted:
"He looked like a bad guy...right mom?"

Everyone in the program crew turned their heads, hoping that Nanzhi could do justice for them.

Nanzhi turned her face away as if nothing had happened and nodded seriously in agreement:

"You did a great job, Yi Yi. You should stay vigilant in the future! Don't you agree?"

The latter sentence is asked to the program team.

The production crew forced a smile:
"Yes, that's right! Just treat this as a...danger drill! Yes! Drill!"

Finally, Xu Li, who was sleeping soundly, also got up.

With her messy hair and sleepy eyes, she listened to Nanzhi's narration of the whole process in a daze:
"...Wait! So your production team confirmed the schedule with me yesterday just for this bullshit surprise raid? I was wondering why they had to be precise to the wake-up time, it turns out it was all a routine!"

Xu Li angrily said, you variety show hosts are really heartless!
"Well done, Yi Yi!"

Nanzhi nodded.

Southern Italy holds its head high with pride.

The audience laughed so hard.

Only the production team shed lasagna tears.

The surprise raids of other teams were all completed smoothly as planned by the production team.

It is said that the live broadcast was very good and the audience was very satisfied.

Nanzhi Nanyi's group was the only one that deviated from its original intention and caused the program crew to be pranked, but it received the best response!

This also caused the number of viewers in Nanzhi Nanyi's live broadcast room to soar. Before the official live broadcast started, it actually surpassed Fu Chao and briefly occupied the first place!

No matter how small the gap is, it is shocking enough!

At this time, Nanzhi Nanyi finally got on the car to the filming location.

The vehicle was provided by the program team. It was said that the variety show was so good that they attracted car sponsorship for the new episode. The program team was able to upgrade their equipment and became much richer.

The director in the co-pilot's seat was fiddling with something, making some rustling noises.

Nan Yi kicked his calf excitedly:
"Are we going to draw lots?"

Without waiting for Nanzhi to answer.

Following the director, rushing to announce the answer:

"Bingo! Correct answer! Please draw your ID card for this issue! Remember our rules? The four ID cards will determine your standard of living in the future, please choose carefully!"

He twisted his body with great effort, holding a familiar cardboard box in his hand.

Last time, Nanzhi knew that the ID cards they got must be the worst.

In order not to disappoint Nan Yi, he took the initiative to take over the task of drawing lots.

But now, Nanzhi believes that the program team will not play tricks.

So she asked Nan Yi to be responsible for drawing lots.

Nan Yi was both happy and expectant.

Hearing this, he immediately jumped up from his seat, reached his little hand into the box, and fumbled around for a long time, his eyebrows wrinkled and relaxed, like a nimble caterpillar.

Nanzhi waited for a long time and couldn't help asking:

"Not well yet?"

"It's almost there."

After about a minute, Nan Yi solemnly took out an ID card.

But he didn't dare to look at it and immediately stuffed it into Nanzhi's hand!

"Look, Mom."

He turned his little face away and tightened his mouth into a straight line.

It was enough to show how nervous he was!
Nanzhi turned the card over - [Bankrupt Shop Owner].

There is a long paragraph of densely packed small characters at the back, which contains detailed information about the identity...

(End of this chapter) Chapter 74: The Bankruptcy

of a Small Shop Owner [You are the owner of a small shop. You have worked hard to save up for many years, but you lost all your money because of opening a shop. Seeing that the shop is on the verge of bankruptcy, please turn the shop around and pay off the overdue rent. ]

[The available funds on the books are RMB 2,000, and the rent owed is RMB 3,000. ]

Nanzhi was silent subtly.

Nan Yi turned around almost instantly, clenching her fists nervously:
"Mom, did I smoke... badly?"

Nanzhi held the card face with his backhand:
"Our new identity is the owner of a small shop! Yi Yi is so lucky, now we have a shop!"

Nan Yi was stunned by the surprise and asked in disbelief:

"Really?"

Nanzhi nodded with great certainty.

Nan Yi had no doubts at all and tried very hard to hold back her laughing lips, her little face flushed with excitement.

The director fell suspiciously silent, and for a moment I didn't know whether I should continue explaining.

The audience in the live broadcast room had no idea at first and almost believed Nanzhi's words...

Then, the program team will post the lottery content in the form of subtitles in the live broadcast room.

The barrage was silent for a few seconds.

[I almost believed it! I also want to say that Nan Yi's ID card is the best one this time! ]

[So is it the best? I am so anxious! I am so anxious! ]

【As someone who has been jumping back and forth between four live broadcasts, let me tell you... well, it's the worst. 】

【Ah, this.】

[The program team really went too far, the conditions are really too harsh! ]

[Yes, I was a little poor last time, but I didn't have any debts! This time, I still have to pay the rent! ]

[If it were me, I would probably not open a shop and work part-time! Anyway, the show does not require the guests to follow the ID card. The ID card is just the beginning. How you live your life afterwards depends on your free play! ]

[Sister, this is a good idea! Maybe this is the original intention of the program team! Life is full of variables! ]

[Have you forgotten Nanzhi's cooking skills? Even if I reopen a fried rice stall, it will make more money than opening a store! ]

[Or you can apply to be a chef. There are only starving diners, not starving chefs! ]

[What if the small shop is actually a restaurant? Wouldn't that make it possible to replicate the success of the last time?]

Another hellish start, sparking heated discussions among the audience.

They gave advice and suggestions to Nanzhi and Nanyi, mother and son, and each of them felt very involved.

However, they hope to see how Nanzhi Nanyi will respond.

While Nan Yi was not paying attention, Nan Zhi raised his eyes silently.

His gaze, neither light nor heavy, fell on the director.

The back of his head felt tight and he laughed awkwardly:

"This... this is not something we can decide..."

"cough."

Nanzhi gave him a look that gave him a subtle reminder.

Following the director's understanding, he continued to speak in a very reserved manner:

"The last episode was a transition period for novices, and the tasks were relatively simple. But this episode has raised the difficulty. Guests are requested to interpret the tasks themselves. The higher the degree of completion, the higher the score."

Nan Yi opened his eyes wide with curiosity:

"So what is our mission?"

"…Just keep running the shop well."

Following the director omitted what shouldn't be said.

Nan Yi didn't think much about it:

"This is easy! My mom can do it!"

He raised his chin proudly, convinced that his mother was the most omnipotent mother in the world!
Nanzhi exhaled slowly.

Then, facing Nan Yi's expectant eyes, he nodded solemnly:

"Of course."

Not long after the conversation ended, the car stopped by the roadside.

Before starting the formal shooting, there is still a routine opening session of meeting other guests.

The address is in a small park near the filming location.

Probably because it was remote and it was early, there were not many people in the small park at that time.

Nanzhi and the others were not the first to arrive. Fu Chao and Qingxi arrived first.

Nanzhi took Nanyi's hand and got out of the car.

Qingxi's eyes lit up, and he came running over, waving his hands as he ran:
"Brother Yiyi! Brother Yiyi!"

Compared to Qingxi's enthusiasm, Nanyi is much more reserved.

He still stayed close to Nanzhi and nodded politely:
"Qingxi, long time no see..."

Before he could finish his words, the enthusiastic Qingxi had already hugged him.

"Brother Yi Yi is so stupid. I told you to call me Brother Qing Xi!"

Nan Yi had a blank expression on his face and tilted his head back.

Can't you see that I don't want to call you brother?

Who is the fool?
Fortunately, Fu Chao arrived in time and "torn" Qingxi off Nan Yi.

Qing Xi was dissatisfied: "Uncle, you are really a big stone in the road of friendship between me and my brother Yi Yi!"

Fu Chao smiled: "Yes, I am a big stone. Big stones can also beat people. Do you believe it?"

Qingxi grumbled and stopped.

Nan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Nanzhi was smiling the whole time, and her heart was almost melted by the cuteness.

The audience is similar:

[The two cubs are so cute! ]

[Qingxi is really a little sun! The two brothers should get along well with each other! ]

[Brother Fu, you really have no self-awareness of your identity as a big stone! ]

[Hey, are Fu Chaonanzhi and the others so close? The style of the painting is a bit strange. ]

[Tsk tsk tsk, it's obvious that this is a new audience. 】

[I am an old viewer, but I thought Nanzhi and Fuchao were just partners. They...]

When Fu Chao saw Nanzhi, he complained:
"I can't get through to your phone."

Nanzhi glanced at the camera subconsciously before answering:

"Really? Maybe the number is wrong?"

"Take a look."

It's also time to confiscate personal belongings.

So, Fu Chao took out his personal cell phone—

This is his real personal phone, not the kind used to contact work partners. The phone is filled with the phone numbers of relatives and friends.

Fu Chao has been in the industry for 10 years. The number of people in the industry whose numbers he can record on this phone can be counted on one hand, and most of them are people he has known for at least 5 years.

Nanzhi and Fu Chao had only known each other for a month.

Of course, neither Nanzhi nor the audience knew this.

Nanzhi leaned over to take a look and frowned:

"This is a number I no longer use."

Fu Chao actually thought of something, but due to the camera, he did not say it directly.

Instead, he asked Nanzhi to enter her current number as if nothing had happened.

Nanzhi did as she was told.

At the same time, he did not forget to ask:
"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Not only Nanzhi was curious, the audience was also curious.

Facing those pairs of eyes, Fu Chao smiled cheerfully and said,
"Didn't I promise to treat you to a meal before?"

Nanzhi said "Oh".

Many viewers suddenly realized it.

In particular, many of Fu Chao's female fans breathed a sigh of relief.

[If you dare to hype up a CP for them, I will tear the production team apart! ]

[Actually, asking for a number is pretty…]

[My brother Fu treats her as a friend, can't he just ask for it openly? Dirty people see everything as dirty! ]

[I feel so touched by how quickly Fu Chao's fans changed their tune. You didn't say that before.]

[What is stir-fried CP? Is it the abbreviation of recipe? Super recipe is OK, I can do it! ]

Fu Chao: "Actually, there is one more thing..."

Another guest has arrived.

(End of this chapter) Chapter 75 Your loyal worker!

Fu Chao was forced to interrupt his words.

He followed Nanzhi and the two curious cubs, all looking towards the roadside—

The black SUV pulled over and slowly stopped.

Director Xie Yu stepped out.

He turned around and carried his daughter Xie Anan out.

The information shows that Xie Yu is 30 years old this year, but he doesn't look like it.

He has a sharp bone structure, narrow eyes, thin lips and coldness, and has a kind of proud and stubborn handsomeness. He is like a top student in a white shirt on the university campus.

Compared with his coldness, his daughter Xie Anan is a sweet, soft glutinous rice dumpling, pretty and cute, just like a doll in a cartoon.

She felt a little shy when she saw Nanzhi and the other three looking at her and her father.

She saw that Nan Yi and Qing Xi's two little brothers were standing on the ground and she was the only one being held by their father, and she began to feel embarrassed.

She whispered:

"Dad, put me down."

Xie Yu obviously didn't understand the little girl's thoughts, and asked back in surprise:

"Didn't you just say your feet hurt and you didn't want to walk?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for Nanzhi and the others to hear.

Xie Anan's face turned red all of a sudden!

[Ah... I am so tired. It is another day when the old father does not understand his daughter's thoughts. ]

[Director Xie is really a straight man. Can't you see that An An is embarrassed? ]

[This family can't do without me! ]

[I'm not attracted to Xie Yu, I just want to be An An's mommy... I reiterate once again that I'm not attracted to Xie Yu! ]

[Let alone Xie Yu, look at the other guests such as Fu Chao, none of them have good sense. ]

[Qingxi actually asked her sister if her foot was injured... adding fuel to the fire. ]

Qingxi scratched his head in confusion, not quite understanding why the pretty little girl's lips were turned down after he finished speaking.

Isn't he just asking a normal question?

Only Nanzhi noticed Xie Anan's embarrassment.

She temporarily forgot about the original novel and the male and female protagonists, and just treated Xie Anan as an ordinary child she met by chance.

So, she waved with a smile:
"An An, is that you? Auntie has some snacks here, do you want to come over and have some?"

When she arrived, she was carrying three boxes of snacks, which she was going to distribute to other guests.

As a result, Fu Chao distracted the conversation and the topic was not brought out until now.

As expected, Xie Anan's attention was drawn to her and she temporarily forgot about her grievances.

Even Xie Yu looked straight over here.

Xie Anan pointed at Nanzhi in surprise:

"Ah! It's you! The beautiful auntie who made delicious fried rice!"

Xie Yu reminds:

"An An, don't point your finger at people."

Xie Anan quickly hid her hands behind her back, muttering:

"Dad watches Auntie Beauty's cooking videos every day..."

Xie Yu paused.

Then he bent down and put his daughter on the ground, using this action to hide the embarrassment that instantly appeared on his face.

Nanzhi looked calm and composed.

Because she had no misunderstanding, she simply interpreted Xie Yu's behavior as his love of eating.

Fu Chao was different.

He suddenly became energetic and looked Xie Yu up and down with a critical look.

Just like the bride's family choosing a son-in-law.

The atmosphere became subtle.

Fortunately, the dim sum in Nanzhi is quite attractive.

The subtle atmosphere didn't last even for a minute as everyone crowded over to see the snacks.

These snacks were made by Nanzhi herself and were just made for Nanyi a few days ago. They were well received by parents and children in the community.

Now it is only a matter of time to conquer a group of guests—

Nan Yi took the initiative to introduce: "This snow cake is delicious."

Qingxi took a bite unconvinced and said, "Obviously the egg yolk pastry is more delicious!"

Xie Anan held the snack lovingly, reluctant to eat it: "I prefer the cloud cake, it's soft, fragrant and sweet!"

Xie Yu said nothing, just biting the peach cake with a crunchy sound.

Fu Chao didn't even bother to observe Xie Yu, and quickly picked out his favorite shredded radish pancake from the snack box.

Very good, everyone has what they like to eat and no one fights with each other!

Finally, Qi Pei'er and Qi Zhang also arrived.

They jumped out of the car in a hurry.

"Sorry, sorry! We encountered a traffic accident on the way and we are late!"

Then, when I looked closely, I saw a group of people surrounding the snack box without even looking up.

After just a few seconds of hesitation, they happily joined the food-grabbing team!

Qi Pei'er is a cheerful and outgoing person. Her voice is always three points higher than others. She is full of brilliant vitality, as if she has endless energy.

As a talented original singer who has written hit singles, Qi Pei'er is also an expert at flattering people!
"Wow, this peach cake is so crispy and soft, it melts in your mouth, and it doesn't taste greasy at all. It's sweet all over! It's even better than the peach cake I had at that old shop in Yanjing!"

"The egg yolk pastry is also super good, the ratio of salted egg yolk and red bean paste is just right, the shell is crispy and soft, and the whole thing has a strong milky flavor!"

"So this is the cloud cake? No wonder it's named this. It's snow-white and soft like a cloud. It has a light fragrance when you put it in your mouth, and it melts on your tongue like snowflakes! It's sweet and fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless!"

"…"

Qi Pei'er really showed her level and style in playing the flute!

Compared to her, other people's "delicious", "very delicious" and "super delicious" immediately fell behind.

Oh, there is also Qi Zhang.

I have the same level as my aunt, and I shouted:

"It's delicious! I love it!"

Well, it's a very good atmosphere group!

Nanzhi: Phew.

Her eyes were curved with a smile, and gentle joy like water flowed out from her eyes.

Qi Pei'er stared at it blankly, slightly distracted.

Then, she thought of something and couldn't wait to speak:
"So, Nanzhi, what identity did you draw? Do we want to work together next?"

Fu Chao, who was captured by a strong sense of déjà vu, suddenly came to his senses:
"Wait... wait! I was here first! Nanzhi, we had a pleasant cooperation last time, and we can cooperate as usual this time! You can't abandon your loyal employee!"

As he said this, Fu Chao pulled Qingxi, whose face was covered with food residue, over to him.

"Look, there's a little worker here!"

Qingxi was confused: "Huh?"

Even Xie Yu joined the battle, unwilling to be outdone.

His tone was calm and confident:
"Cooperate with me. The ID card I drew is that of a breakfast stall owner. It should be of some help to you."

It's more than just a certain amount of help?

The addition of the breakfast stall to Nanzhi is simply a replica of the success of the fried rice stall in the previous issue!

[This, this, this... can we still play like this? ]

[Why not? In the last episode, Fu Chao was saved from starvation because he clung to Nan Zhi.]

[Some fans are really pissed off hahaha, they are cursing Nanzhi behind her back while their own fans are trying to snatch her away from her! ]

[I now believe that the program team did not fake the draw. The breakfast stall should have been prepared for Nanzhi, but it was drawn by Xie Yu! ]

… Chapter 76 Nanzhi's store opening diary?

This operation was unexpected not only for the audience but also for the production crew!

Xu Lin, who was hiding not far away, widened his eyes:
"W-what?"

The other members were anxious, like ants on a hot pot:

"What should we do, Director Xu? Do we really want to see them team up?"

"The partnership between Nanzhi and Fu Chao in the last episode was beyond our plans. Are they coming again this time?"

"I think it's okay. At least the effect was good last time, right?"

"Yes, our rules don't say that we can't partner up, so it's good to let the guests express themselves freely!"

"But this completely loses the original intention of our show! We are 'Cub Observation Diary'! Not 'Nanzhi Store Opening Diary'! This is a baby show, not a food show!"

"'Nanzhi Shop Diary' sounds good..."

"…"

Before the guests over there could even come to a conclusion, the program crew members over here started arguing first.

Amidst the chaos, Xu Lin kept a gloomy face and pondered for a long time.

"…Alright!"

As soon as Xu Lin spoke, everyone else fell silent.

Everyone looked at the backbone, waiting for his decision.

Xu Lin said confidently:

"They are just talking now, they are not really going to finalize the cooperation. How can it be so easy?"

When the others heard what Xu Lin said, they all breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's right. Four groups of guests have four different ideas. It's not easy to cooperate with them."

"We didn't need to do anything at all. In the end, they just gave up on their own."

"Maybe it was just a casual remark."

"Ah, then I'm quite disappointed. The last time the fried rice stall in Nanzhi closed, I was sad for a long time. I thought I could taste Nanzhi's craftsmanship again this time... Look at how delicious that snack box is!"

"...Just shut up!"

"…"

Just as everyone in the program crew was optimistic and waiting for the expected results.

In the camera, Fu Chao, Qi Pei'er and Xie Yu, who were arguing endlessly, were finally stopped by Nanzhi.

Nanzhi spoke, and the other three immediately fell silent.

Even the four cubs shut their mouths obediently, waiting for Nanzhi to speak—

"I understand your thoughts, so I have a plan, do you want to refer to it?"

Fu Chao couldn't wait to say:

"Tell me now, whatever the plan is, I agree to it!"

He wants to be the first to show his loyalty!

Qi Pei'er and Xie Yu are no match for him at all!

Nanzhi glanced at Fu Chao with amusement, and then said,
"Why don't the four of us work together?"

Fu Chao: "Huh?"

Qi Peier: "Hmm."

Xie Yu: "Not bad."

Everyone in the production team: "W-what!"

Nanzhi said slowly,
"I have heard the information on your ID cards. The missions are not conflicting, and your identities can complement each other. And based on the experience of the last episode, our respective filming locations should be very close and can be reached on foot... so working together is the best choice."

After Jing Nanzhi's reminder, everyone suddenly understood.

It seems to be true!

Even the most reluctant Fu Chao had to admit—

Nanzhi's current decision is their best option.

The comments were also agitated:

【Wow, that sounds interesting! 】

[So, do you guys want to open a shop together? What kind of shop? A breakfast shop?]

[No matter what, I love to watch it, haha! ]

【Brother Fu...ah.】

[Fans, shut up. Didn't you see your brother is so happy like a fool? ]

[Apart from anything else, after watching "Youngsters", my impression of Fu Chao as a man of honor is completely shattered! He is a complete idiot! ]

The only ones who are unhappy are probably the program crew.

What is the introduction of their "Cub Observation Diary"?
"Celebrity guests take cubs to experience the lives of ordinary people, and through overcoming harsh environments and difficult realities, show the interaction between parents and children, as well as the reactions and growth of cubs."...

What about the harsh environment?
What about the difficult reality?
If we work together, what difficulties can there be?

At this moment, someone suddenly had an idea:
"No, that's not right. Where there are people, there will be disputes. When the four groups of guests work together, conflicts will arise due to disagreements, and their supporters will tear each other's hair apart in the live broadcast room...controversy! Traffic! Discussion! Aren't these all coming by themselves?"

A colleague immediately retorted righteously:
"What do you think our show is? One of those variety shows that relies on quarreling to gain traffic?"

"Is it not possible?"

Can.

And it smells a bit fragrant.

Looking at the history of variety shows, many of the big hits started out by starting out with quarrels.

If they can, why can't The Cubs?

Xu Lin's eyes flickered, probably as he was thinking and weighing things.

Finally, he made a decision and said meaningfully:

"Since the purpose of our show is to 'show the guests' real reactions', we should respect whatever the guests want to do, right?"

"…yes."

Great, the last obstacle has been removed.

So in the future, everyone is more looking forward to seeing how Nanzhi and the others plan to cooperate!

Will there be conflicts before the cooperation even starts?
I am looking forward to it.

Nanzhi and others were obviously unaware of the "unfriendly" looks from the program crew.

After they unanimously approved Nanzhi's proposal, they decided to visit their respective filming locations first.

The first stop they came to was the breakfast stall that Xie Yu mentioned.

Although it is a breakfast stall, this stall is much better than the fried rice stall in Nanzhi last issue!
It has a fixed location, a canopy to protect it from the rain, and tables, chairs, pots and pans...

Although it's small, it has everything you need and can definitely be called a breakfast shop!

Even the place they live in is not like the one in Nanzhi, where they live in a shantytown with a poor environment. Instead, it is a simple but cozy one-bedroom apartment in a residential building not far from the breakfast stall.

Xie Yu's ID card reads:

[Your life is stable because of running a breakfast stall. Living happily with your children is your greatest wish. Please spend a happy time with your children! ]

【Deposit 500 yuan.】

With the ID card that Xie Yu drew, even if they don't open a breakfast stall, 500 yuan is enough for the father and daughter to get through two weeks.

Afterwards, they came to Qi Pei'er's filming location.

The ID card that Qi Pei'er drew should be the best in this issue.

She is the owner of a dessert shop. The shop is very big, with bright windows and beautiful environment.

Even the store is not far from the store in Nanzhi, with only two stores between them, so they can completely combine to form a branch!

Qi Pei'er's residence is also the best among the four groups of guests. It is located in a community less than 200 meters away on foot. It has three bedrooms and two living rooms with an area of more than 100 square meters. Among all the houses that have appeared so far, it can be called a luxury house!
Her task is also not complicated:
[After graduating from college, you inherited your parents' dessert shop. Unfortunately, your skills are not as good as your parents'. You can barely break even and your life is warm and ordinary. It's just that your child seems to have some troubles recently. Please find the answer and fulfill his little wish! ]

【Living expenses: 1,000 yuan.】 Chapter 77 Mahjong Hall?

When she learned that Nanzhi and Nanyi lived above the store, Qi Peier warmly invited them:
"Why don't you come to our house and sleep? We have plenty of rooms anyway!"

Nanzhi pondered and seemed a little moved.

Fu Chao was not to be outdone:

"My house is fine too!"

Qi Pei'er opened her innocent eyes and said,
"But you are a man, it must be inconvenient for Nanzhi to live under the same roof with you!"

Fu Chao was speechless and was defeated with hatred.

In fact, the residence that Fu Chao won was quite good, a cozy little house with two bedrooms and a living room facing the street, which was in line with the character on his ID card - a real estate agent.

[As a diligent real estate agent, you are a know-it-all on this street, and you have a very good relationship with your neighbors. Everyone is willing to give you face. But you also have your troubles, such as wanting to buy a new mobile phone for your mother. Unfortunately, the daily expenses of raising children are too high. After saving money for many days, you are finally only 1,000 yuan away from your goal. ]

【Deposit 500 yuan.】

Yes, this time everyone drew an ID card, no matter how big or small the store is, they all became their own boss.

Only Fu Chao sticks to his identity as a loyal worker to the end!

And the job of real estate agent seems to be better than Xie Yu's simple breakfast stall.

The actual situation can be seen from the difference between the tasks. Xie Yu's deposit is 500 yuan, while Fu Chao's deposit is 500 yuan minus 1000 task money, which is equal to -500 yuan!
In other words, it is similar to Nanzhi's 2000 yuan minus 3000 yuan in arrears, which equals -1000 yuan... It's similar in nature!

With Xie Yu and Qi Pei'er's living expenses, if they spend frugally, it's not impossible for them to just lie down for the next two weeks.

But Nanzhi and Fu Chao are different. If they want to complete the task, they must work hard to make money!
From a certain perspective, Nanzhi and Fu Chao can be regarded as brothers in distress.

Finally, everyone came to the small shop in Nanzhi—

This is also Nanzhi's first time here.

The information on the ID card was not clear, with only the keyword "bankrupt shop".

When she stood at the door of the store and took a clear look at the store's interior design, she immediately fell into a subtle silence.

The others had a similar reaction and stood in a row at the door of the store.

This store is neither small nor too small, and its decoration is simple and even quite stylish.

But here's the thing…

This is a mahjong parlor!
There are 8 mahjong tables arranged in two rows in the room, and there are booths in the corner where you can play cards and drink tea!

[Pfft! Which god opened a mahjong parlor?]

[Nanzhi and the others' expressions are almost making me laugh to death, hahaha! ]

[What's wrong with mahjong parlors? Are you looking down on our national treasure? ]

[Don't argue! Didn't you see the environment of this street clearly just now? Is this a suitable location for opening a mahjong parlor? ]

[That's right, in Yanjing, mahjong parlors are usually located in the old city. If you open one on this street… Boss, I think it's worth it for you to go bankrupt!]

Nanzhi and the others think similarly to the audience.

They pushed the door open and continued walking inside.

A wall separates the inner and outer spaces.

Fu Chao was suddenly surprised to find:

"Is this the smoke exhaust duct?"

Everyone came over to look.

Even the four kids who knew nothing imitated them, standing in a row, stretching their necks, and looking inside... Their movements were so uniform!
Nanzhi was also very surprised when she saw this.

If this mahjong hall is to be converted into a restaurant, the biggest difficulty will be ventilation and smoke exhaust.

The money they have combined is not enough to cover the basic renovation.

What's more, the filming was limited and they had no time to wait for people to decorate.

So Nanzhi once pondered whether to make Qi Peier's dessert shop the main store.

Now, they don't need to worry.

The hidden smoke exhaust ducts here are well built, and even the layout of the inner room is very similar to a kitchen, so it can easily meet restaurant standards!

Qi Pei'er couldn't help but joke:

"I heard that some mahjong parlors provide meals. The interior is so professionally decorated, it seems the owner is very wealthy!"

Nanzhi didn't think so.

She was about to explain.

Xie Yu spoke first:

"Probably not. The L-shaped layout here is a very typical layout for the kitchens of small and medium-sized restaurants, which means it should have been converted from a restaurant to a mahjong parlor."

Nanzhi looked at Xie Yu in surprise:
"Director Xie actually knows all this?"

This question raised everyone's doubts.

Xie Yu nodded and said to Nanzhi:

"You can just call me Xie Yu. Well, I used to work part-time to earn money for my studies. I worked in the kitchen for three years and can barely meet the standards of a butcher. When the restaurant opens, I can help out there."

No one expected that Director Xie, a rising star in the film industry, would have such an experience!
You know, his image to the outside world has always been mysterious, and the media has not yet uncovered his true background.

Even after winning the award, when the media asked him about his past experiences, he always played Tai Chi and didn't say a word.

As a result, now, he told Nanzhi so easily.

[Tsk tsk tsk tsk…]

[I smell something extraordinary. Director Xie is very proactive.]

[I knew it! I knew it! Is it okay for me to kowtow? ]

[Hahaha, the real geeks had already noticed it when Xiao An An said that! ]

[Director Xie, Director Xie, your initiative really seems worthless... But I like it hehe! ]

The audience all thought: Hmm! Director Xie must be flirting with Nanzhi!
Even Fu Chao thought: This kid must be up to no good! Be careful!
Only Nanzhi thought: This resume is good, I can enter the temporary probation period!
... They were thinking different things!

As for what Xie Yu was thinking in his heart, only Xie Yu himself knew.

After seeing the kitchen, everyone was in a good mood.

We then visited Nanzhi Nanyi's room, which was accessed from a hidden staircase on the other side.

This is a separated second floor with a low ceiling. People of Nanzhi and Qi Pei'er's height can walk upright normally, but people like Fu Chao and Xie Yu who are over 1.8 meters tall have to lower their heads slightly.

The lighting in the space is not very good. There is only a small angled window on the top that is pushed upwards. The thin light illuminates the layout that is filled to the brim with all kinds of sundries and furniture.

The only thing that is better than the shanty house is that the furniture is of good quality. It is not as tattered as before, and Nanzhi has to repair it manually.

It's a small space and you can see it clearly in just a few glances without having to take a detailed tour.

Now even Fu Chao stopped arguing and took the initiative to persuade:

"I think Qi Pei'er's suggestion is very good. You and Yi Yi should go live in their house."

The accompanying director who was following behind shook his head frantically and typed the word "No" in large letters on his mobile phone, trying to stop it.

Fu Chao glanced at it, pretending not to see it, and continued:
"The environment here is really bad..."

"Wow!"

Xie Anan exclaimed,
"It's the secret hut!" Chapter 78 I am an unlucky star

Qi Zhang, who has not experienced the changes in the book, is also a super optimist.

He jumped up and down and shouted:

"This place is so beautiful! I love it so much! Auntie, can we live here?"

Qingxi also nodded in agreement, his eyes sparkling:

"This place seems like a mysterious cave... Let's play a treasure hunt!"

This proposal was quickly agreed upon by the children.

Even Nan Yi, who hadn't said much since entering the door, pursed her lips and nodded reluctantly.

After cheering, the four children ran away, raising a cloud of dust.

The four remaining adults stood there staring at each other.

[Children's ideas are very simple. To them, all the miscellaneous items here are treasure houses! ]

[I was in a bad mood when I saw such a terrible environment, but I didn't expect that the babies would heal me in an instant! ]

[Sure enough, how you live your life depends on your mood. Even a shabby hut can be turned into a castle! ]

【Hahaha, why don't you guys take a look at the distorted expressions of others first? 】

【Mom, I'll Beat You Series! 】

[This dust...what should I do if I can't have the child anymore? ]

Qingxi was bustling around in the pile of junk, holding up the music box in his hand.

"I found it!"

The other three children crowded over.

Qi Zhang raised his arms and shouted as if he was seeing a hero: "It's a treasure!"

Xie Anan's face was full of envy: "Wow! I want to find a treasure too!"

Nan Yi was relatively indifferent compared to them, but he still refused to admit defeat and snorted, "I'll find it soon!"

Qingxi didn't care and held the gray music box in his arms like a treasure.

He did not forget to turn around and show off to Fu Chao:

"Look, little uncle!"

He grinned, revealing his little white teeth.

The hot sweat on his forehead slid down, leaving behind several obvious marks.

...a real little dirty mud monkey!

Fu Chao's slap was already brewing.

Nanzhi stood beside him, coughed, and whispered a reminder:

"I'm recording a show."

Fu Chao inhaled and exhaled, repeating this several times before he suppressed his anger.

[Sorry, we all heard it! ]

[If my child behaved like this, I would have gotten so angry that I had high blood pressure! ]

[Yes, when my child jumped into the mud puddle, I had the same expression as Fu Chao. It's so similar! ]

[Fu Yingdi's perfect male god image collapses again and again...Haha, it's even funnier, what should I do! ]

Fu Chao doesn't care about his image.

He smiled wryly and waved,
"Qingxi, come here."

Qingxi didn't understand what was going on, so he hugged the music box tightly and ran over.

"What's wrong, uncle? Tell me what's going on!"

His face was full of "I'm busy, don't disturb me".

Fu Chao almost bit his teeth before he could resist the urge to beat the child in front of the camera.

Just then, Nanzhi handed over a pack of paper.

Fu Chao's irritability was strangely calmed down, and finally he took the paper and wiped Qingxi's face bit by bit.

It's dirty anyway...

Qingxi urged:

"Uncle, hurry up!"

Fu Chao paused.

...So just throw it away.

At this time, Xie Yu rolled up his sleeves.

"The kids are all dirty, and they'll have to change and wash their clothes when they get home anyway, so why don't we adults join in?"

Fu Chao turned back with a strange look:

"You want to go treasure hunting too?"

The expression is very strange.

Fu Chao's train of thought made Xie Yu silent for two seconds.

Then he said, "What I mean is, clean this place up. Even if Nanzhi Nanyi doesn't stay here, this can be used as a temporary lounge."

Qi Pei'er was reminded:

"Yeah, maybe we can find something useful?"

Fu Chao finally understood and nodded in agreement.

Even Nanzhi thought it was good.

Finally, all the adults got involved in the fight with the clutter on the second floor.

At this time, the energetic little cubs become their best helpers to hit wherever they point.

For children, everything is new.

Even cleaning is fun!
This loft is awesome!

Two hours later.

The newly renovated second-floor attic finally meets the standards for being habitable.

In addition to the necessary furniture such as small beds, wardrobes, coffee tables and sofas, they also found several large dining tables.

It seems that Xie Yu's guess was correct. There used to be a restaurant here, but it either went bankrupt or moved away. These dining tables were left behind and can come in handy, saving them a lot of money!

It's just that the price is a bit high.

Fu Chao, who has a slight obsession with mysophobia, can hardly stand himself being so dirty and smelly.

So much so that his speech speed increased, and he couldn't wait to say:

"It's almost lunch time, why don't we go home and wash up first!"

If he had one more second, he would have collapsed!
Fortunately, other people had similar ideas.

Fu Chao turned to Nanzhi and asked:
"So are you going to..."

Qi Peier warmly invited:
"Come to our house! Come to our house! We will definitely be very happy living together!"

Nanzhi was about to nod.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Nan Yi's subtle curling of his lips.

She thought about it and shook her head suddenly:

"No need. Since we've been drawn here, we should just stay here and respect the show rules."

The program crew that has long been forgotten in the corner: Thank you for still remembering us!

Qi Pei'er was very disappointed and tried to persuade him several times.

Even Fu Chao joined in to help persuade them.

Only Xie Yu didn't speak.

Nanzhi remained firm and said she wanted to stay with Nanyi.

They had no choice but to give up.

Soon the others left.

Nanzhi held Nanyi's dirty little hand:

"Unhappy?"

Nan Yi puffed her cheeks but shook her head.

How could Nanzhi not see that he was saying one thing and thinking another?

So I pretended to be angry:

"Do you have a little secret with your mother?"

"No, no! Mom, I didn't!"

Nan Yi hurriedly explained.

He raised his head and saw the smile in Nanzhi's eyes, then he suddenly realized that his mother was lying to him.

He wrinkled his nose in a slight annoyance.

But then he became discouraged again, hung his head, and asked:

"Mom, did I get the worst ID card?"

Nanzhi was stunned:
"Why do you say that?"

Southern Italy Dudu thick:

"I can see! Their homes are better than ours! So are their shops!"

He is so unlucky.

He is an unlucky star.

It will also implicate my mother.

Nan Yi was depressed and lost.

However, the most important thing was that he was afraid that Nanzhi would be angry and dissatisfied.

So, I couldn't help but secretly glance at Nanzhi's expression.

Nanzhi, on the other hand, was just a little surprised.

Then she suddenly smiled:
"How could that be! There is no best or worst ID card. We have to live our lives to make it. Do you think our last ID card was good? Were we happy afterwards?"

There are countless examples of people who started with a good hand but ruined it, or started with a bad hand but then turned the tables.

The same is true in life.

Nan Yi, he kind of understood.

Chapter 79 This is a good excuse.
Nanzhi and Nanyi didn't know that not long after they left home in the morning, a big drama kicked off in the community—

Downstairs of Building 1, people were moving things in and out.

An old couple, dressed in extravagant clothes and with mean and cunning faces, crossed their arms and looked at the things they had moved out with disdain, as if they were looking at junk:
"What the hell are these! You have to bring these home? How poor!"

Beside their legs, a slightly plump little boy was squatting, staring blankly at the people passing by.

He suddenly saw his favorite toy car from inside and stood up:
"This is my stuff! Don't touch it!"

The old couple said casually:
"Zhixing, you are already so old, what's the point of keeping the toy car? Your cousin is young, I think you should give it to him!"

The little boy, the former neighborhood bully Wang Zhixing, cried out loudly upon hearing this:

"This is mine! Mine! I don't want to give it to my brother!"

"Your parents are both penniless! Your grandmother and I have done our best to take you in! What's wrong with taking something from you? You are such a ruthless person, your father's blood is in your bones..."

The old couple started cursing at Wang Zhixing.

Wang Zhixing was also unwilling to be left behind, so he immediately started crying and rolling on the ground.

The scene was extremely ugly.

Some people had gathered nearby to watch the fun, and they couldn't help but talk about it:

"Isn't that Wang Zhixing? Who are those old couple? What happened in their family?"

"Oh my god, don't you know? Wang Zhixing's father was reported for corruption and bribery and was arrested! Now the evidence is irrefutable, even Wang Zhixing's mother has been taken away for investigation, and it is estimated that she will not be able to come out for a while! Even this house will be sealed up! These old couple are Wang Zhixing's grandparents, and they are here to pick him up!"

"Are these my biological grandparents?"

"Tsk, doesn't it feel like retribution? Wang Zhixing's family treats him like a precious grandson every day, but now that his parents have committed a crime, he has become someone else's little cabbage!"

"Serves you right! Last time he burned my little braid, I knew this kid is a bad guy at heart!"

"Did he bully Nan Yi before and get beaten up by Nan Yi?"

"Yes, everyone applauded!"

"What a shame! This scene should have been seen by Nan Yi and his mother."

"It's a pity indeed..."

It would be great if Nanzhi and Nanyi mother and son saw the hateful people end up like this and were happy and gave them some peach spring rolls!

They are still savoring the leftovers they shared a few days ago. They were so delicious...

A group of people were thinking about the lingering delicious food from a few days ago and even forgot to watch the fun.

Outside the community.

A Bentley was parked on the side of the road.

Inside the light-blocking car window, Lu Shixu was flipping through paper documents.

After a long time, he "inadvertently" asked:

"What's going on?"

Tao An knew that what Mr. Lu wanted to ask more was:

Did Miss Nan see it?
What did she see?
Of course, it was the end of Wang Zhixing's family who bullied Miss Nan!

Tao An has seen what it means to risk one's life for a beautiful woman.

He thought that Mr. Lu would live a rigid and orderly life, like a robot with code input, without emotions and rationality above all else.

What was the result?
He hesitated and changed his mind again and again for the sake of Miss Nanzhi.

They even did something they would never do before!
What a touching love story!

Of course, no matter how much Tao An felt moved in his heart, he dared not show it on his face.

He answered professionally and calmly with the demeanor of an elite assistant:

"I've asked someone to pay attention. There will be feedback in 3 minutes."

It actually didn't take 3 minutes.

One minute later, Tao An's phone started vibrating wildly.

He just lowered his head and glanced, and beads of sweat the size of beans quickly appeared on his forehead.

In the eerie silence, Lu Shixu suddenly spoke:
"Something went wrong?"

Tao An didn't dare to breathe.

How should he explain the current situation?

A few days ago, after Nanzhi Nanyi had a conflict with Wang Zhixing's family in the community, Tao An immediately reported it to Lu Shixu.

Lu Shixu seemed indifferent, but in fact he had someone investigate Wang Zhixing's family.

After checking, the problem was discovered in less than half a day.

Wang Zhixing's father thought that his disguise was a success, but in the face of their investigation, it was as crude as a sieve, and they found everything he did was right.

So Lu Shixu instructed Tao An to choose an appropriate time to throw away what he had found.

Tao An understood what he meant and realized that the so-called "right time" was when Miss Nanzhi could see him.

He was full of confidence and thought it was just a small task.

…But the next day, Miss Nanzhi took her child and flew to Province A!
It was five days later when Miss Nanzhi came back.

Of course, Tao An has not been idle these days. He has reported what should be reported and submitted the materials that should be submitted.

Anyway, the time was set on the day when Miss Nanzhi returned, so as to ensure that they could receive this "big gift" with their own eyes.

As a result, Miss Nanzhi took her children to film a variety show!

Still left early in the morning!

Tao An didn't dare to hide it and told Lu Shixu carefully.

Lu Shixu unexpectedly did not respond.

He stroked the soft sandalwood beads on his wrist and asked calmly,
"Where are they?"

Tao An gave the address.

After saying this, he felt something was not right.

No matter how you look at Mr. Lu, he doesn't look angry.

Instead, it's a subtle... pleasure?
Wait.

Does Mr. Lu think that this is a good excuse to meet Miss Nanzhi?

Tao An suddenly felt that he understood, he understood everything!

He solemnly suggested:

"Sir, I think we should inform Miss Nan about this important matter. I heard that Miss Nan's filming today will end at 9 pm."

"What time is the afternoon meeting?"

"4 o'clock, estimated end time 8:30, just in time."

Tao An thought happily, he had guessed it right!
In his pride, he raised his eyes and met Mr. Lu's eyes reflected in the rearview mirror.

hiss.

Tao An froze all of a sudden.

Lu Shixu: "Don't be too smart."

"I understand."

Knocking is knocking.

When the meeting ended in the evening, Lu Shixu still asked Tao An to drive the car to the street where the Nanzhi store was located.

The lights are coming on.

From a distance, you can see the figures of mother and son walking slowly along the dim street.

Their conversation floated from afar—

"Mom, can we open the store tomorrow?"

"Well, the formalities have been completed, and the ingredients are almost ready. We can start business tomorrow after Uncle Xie Yu brings the pots and pans over!"

"So what are we going to sell? Fried rice? I can keep collecting money!"

"Okay little cashier, this important task is left to you!"

"…"

The warm conversation and the spring breeze came in through the gaps in the car window and fell into Lu Shixu's ears.

It made him feel a little bit envious.

Chapter 80 Is he sick?
For lunch, Nanzhi made clay pot rice herself.

The casserole had just been dug out from the attic. It was washed several times until it was clean, a thin layer of lard was applied to the inside, and the soaked raw rice was poured in.

The shredded rice used for raw rice is slender and crystal clear, with a strong rice aroma. It is the easiest to absorb flavors and is the best choice for making clay pot rice.

When the rice is cooked to eight layers, spread the sliced Cantonese-style sausages layer by layer, put an egg in the hollow center, cover and simmer.

When you open the lid again, put the blanched vegetables on it and pour the special sauce on it.

With a crackling sound.

What then spreads is the rich aroma of rice and the salty and sweet aroma of sausage.

Use a spoon to mix well. The aroma will continue to be emitted in the steam, stimulating people's taste buds.

The casseroles were not big, so Nanzhi and Nanyi each had one, and both of them were very satisfied with the meals.

You know, the happiest thing about eating clay pot rice is to use a spoon to scrape the crispy golden rice crust at the bottom of the pot! The fragrance
lingers on your teeth and cheeks while chewing, and you have to scrape the clay pot wall until it is shiny, then this bowl of clay pot rice is considered complete!

Nanzhi's craftsmanship is beyond words.

Two bowls of clay pot rice, completely scraped clean, looked like they had just been washed!
Nan Yi had a satisfied smile on her face.

Suddenly I remembered the flattering words Qi Pei'er said when she was having snacks in the morning!

very good!

He learned it!

"Mom! Your claypot rice...mmmm...is super delicious!"

Nan Yi held it in for a long time before finally uttering this sentence.

After saying this, he felt unhappy.

I secretly hated myself for not graduating from kindergarten, not having enough education, and not being able to even say nice words!

But Nanzhi was very happy to hear it.

Nothing is more important than enjoying your meal in Southern Italy.

When washing dishes, Nan Yi originally volunteered to help.

Unfortunately, even standing on a stool, he couldn't reach the sink.

Nan Yi pursed his lips:
"...I will grow taller!"

Nanzhi laughed.

After clearing the dishes, the mother and son went out to meet up with other people.

In order to open the business as soon as possible, there are many things to do today.

Restaurants need business licenses, health certificates, fire inspections...

Although the time was shortened infinitely with the support of the program team and relevant departments, the necessary procedures could not be missed, and it took a lot of time just to go back and forth.

In addition, how to transform our store, integrate resources and minimize expenses is also a science.

In short, there are many problems to face.

During this process, their inspirations collided, and arguments and discussions flew together, filling the live broadcast to the brim.

However, the live broadcast, which was expected to end at 9 o'clock, was still delayed to 9:30.

After discussing tomorrow's itinerary, Nanzhi and Nanyi returned home feeling exhausted.

But they themselves don't seem to feel tired.

Nan Yi is still full of energy.

Nanzhi is still patient and meticulous.

Not far behind them, the people from the program crew followed.

The purpose is to protect the safety of the guests and prevent any accidents.

so.

When Nanzhi Nanyi walked to the door of the store, she saw a black Bentley parked on the side of the road and a man walked out of the door...

The people from the program team immediately stepped forward alertly!
Lu Shixu raised his eyes casually.

He didn't say a word, but the aura he exuded from years of being in power was enough to make people stay away.

Lu Shixu looked at the young boy who was trying to stand in front of Nanzhi with a scrutinizing look.

The young boy felt the coldness of being targeted by a big shot, but he still mustered up the courage:

"Who are you? What do you want to do?!"

Lu Shixu didn't answer, his eyes were indifferent.

Nanzhi was in a complicated mood.

She touched Nan Yi's head reflexively.

She noticed that he was hugging her very tightly, and thought that Nan Yi remembered this annoying "uncle" and was a little scared.

So he comforted her:
"Don't worry."

She said, patting Nan Yi on the back.

Some problems cannot be avoided by running away.

It would be better to face the enemy head-on.

"It's someone I know."

After Nanzhi explained, she asked the program crew to accompany Nanyi into the store first, as she needed to talk to the visitor.

Nan Yi immediately grabbed the corner of her clothes, with a stubborn look on his face:

"I don't want it!"

Nan Yi could feel that the man was looking at her.

His heart trembled, with a natural fear of danger rooted in his bones.

But his courage to stay with his mother overcame his fear.

Nan Yi hid beside Nan Zhi and cast a vicious look at the opposite side!

Lu Shixu remained indifferent, but instead curled the corners of his mouth.

It's as casual and unhurried as watching a little wolf showing its claws.

Nan Yi understood and was very angry.

But before he could react, Nanzhi's face darkened:

"Why scare him?"

She raised her voice, slightly displeased.

Lu Shixu almost instinctively withdrew his gaze from Nan Yi.

…Half a second later, he realized what he had done, and disbelief filled his mind.

Then, he looked at Nanzhi repeatedly with strange eyes.

Nanzhi didn't feel anything.

She had long been accustomed to Lu Shixu's persistent gaze and had become immune to it.

"Be obedient, and go in first."

This time Nan Yi did not resist.

I don't know if I could tell that my mother was unhappy.

When he left with the staff uncle, his sparkling eyes were full of expectations that Nanzhi could deal with that annoying man!
Nanzhi just found it funny.

After confirming that Nan Yi and the staff had disappeared from the store, they were not close enough for them to hear the conversation.

Nanzhi turned to Lu Shixu with a gloomy expression:

"You have disturbed our peaceful life several times. What do you want to do?"

The more Nanzhi thought about it, the more confused he felt.

In the past, she just thought that Lu Shixu's way of thinking was different from that of ordinary people.

But now, she thinks Lu Shixu is sick!

He repeatedly approached her and looked at her with a stranger's eyes! He
even asked such a stupid question as "Is he your biological child?"
What on earth was he thinking?
Could it be that after a few years of separation, his IQ had not improved but declined?

Lu Shixu was stunned.

He knew Nanzhi was very unhappy, so he subconsciously looked for words that might make her happy:

"Wang Zhixing's father was investigated, and there is irrefutable evidence of corruption and bribery. The minimum sentence for conviction is 20 years."

"Who is Wang Zhixing... huh? Are you following me?"

Nanzhi thought of Wang Zhixing and the conflict that day.

With her understanding of Lu Shixu, she easily guessed the source of his information.

She narrowed her eyes immediately, her expression was so ugly that it could not be described, it was a calmness suppressed to the extreme.

For the first time in his life, Lu Shixu felt uneasy.

He lowered his voice, his posture was so low that he didn't even notice it:

"Not stalking, but bodyguarding."

Then he patiently explained it in detail.

Nanzhi's anger was finally relieved a little.

But she was still dissatisfied and couldn't help but sarcastically say:

"So? You want to take credit from me? Mr. Lu, isn't this what you should do?"

Nanzhi would not be grateful to Lu Shixu just because he helped her deal with the Wang family.

When his son is bullied, isn't it natural for a father to fight back?

Lu Shixu was surprised and asked seriously,
"Why should I do it?"
