Chapter 201 Genius

Countless netizens expressed their agreement!

Especially for those diners who have eaten at Nanzhi Bistro, their condition is even worse than Qi Pei'er.

What does it mean to be like chewing wax, what does it mean to not know the taste of meat in March, what does it mean to have seen so many things but none of them is the right one...

Who could have thought that they would be controlled by a small home-style restaurant?

Even the restaurants on the Delicacies List with an average price of over a thousand per person could not make up for their regret of not being able to eat at Nan's Bistro!

So, if Nanzhi really opened a small restaurant in the mountainous area of your province, with the Shiwan Mountains behind it, local ingredients are green and pollution-free, and the surrounding mountains and rivers are a pure natural oxygen bar...

Hey! Don't say that!

This is really a business opportunity!
There will definitely be an endless stream of wealthy and free foodies who will fly thousands of miles to eat here!

At that time, we will take the opportunity to make our brand famous across the country, gradually expand our fame, attract tourists from all over the country, boost local tourism, start a chain brand, and become bigger and stronger...

Unfortunately, Nanzhi did not draw this script.

Her identity is a volunteer teacher in mountainous areas, and she is destined to shine in the education industry.

Not the chef industry.

[So in the final analysis, it's still the production team that's inhumane! ]

[Nanzhi has been through many industries, but she is not content to be a chef! ]

[What? Did you make up that line of speech? I have already bought my ticket and am ready to fly to your province for dinner!]

【Catch a wicked rich man alive! 】

[No! I can't have it, and no one else can have it! Let's be greedy together!]

[You are so vicious! But I stand with you too, hehe! ]

…

The bucket used to hold the food was scraped clean, without even a trace of oil.

Nanzhi felt very relieved seeing that the entire cafeteria was immersed in the joy brought by the delicious food and almost no one was talking.

There is no chef who wouldn't enjoy seeing this.

However, there are obviously people around her who are happier than her!
Teacher Zhang's face is a little vicissitudes due to years of hard work. At the age of over 50, it is already full of wrinkles, which looks a bit miserable at first glance.

But now, tiny bits of joy and satisfaction filled these wrinkles, making her whole person glow from the inside out!

Her loving eyes swept across the cafeteria inch by inch. She wanted to express her feelings, but was so excited that she didn't know where to start.

After thinking for a long time, Teacher Zhang couldn't help but say:

"Teacher Nan, can I trouble you for something?"

"You say."

"Please teach me a few more dishes! I want to see children smile every day in the future!"

It wasn't the kind of happiness that was forced to comfort her, but real happiness and laughter!
Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Okay."
-The
village primary school ends at 4:30 p.m., which is generally earlier than schools in the city.

The reason is that many students live far away and have to walk home, which takes half an hour.

When they get home, they not only have to do their homework, but also share the housework - washing, cleaning, cooking...

Children from poor families have to grow up early and have no chance to play leisurely after school.

At this time, Nanzhi and Qi Pei'er were standing at the door with Teacher Zhang and others, watching the children leave.

Looking at their jumping figures, they are free from the depression and frustration of carrying heavy burdens at an early age. Instead, they still have the innocence and vigor that are unique to children.

Sometimes, sympathy is a kind of arrogance to them.
Nanzhi and Qi Pei'er realized this, so they did not make any comments from beginning to end.

They smiled and saw off the last student with the qualified manners of new teachers.

Oh, that's not right.

There are two new "transfer students" around them.

When Qi Pei'er turned around and returned to the classroom office, she was not surprised at all to see her precious nephew sleeping soundly on the table.

When I got closer, I saw Qi Zhang's mouth was wide open, with drool dripping from the corners of his mouth, but it was blocked by the homework book stuffed under his face.

"Um?"

Qi Pei'er was wondering.

Nan Yi, who was sitting next to Qi Zhang and doing his homework, raised his head and explained in a serious tone:

"I put it there so as not to dirty the table."

"Ah? Ah! Oh oh! Good good good!"

Qi Pei'er blinked twice suddenly, and her gaze finally fell on the homework book in front of Nan Yi.

A kindergarten kid is doing elementary school homework...Did Nan Yi finish it?

She was really curious!
"That..."

Qi Pei'er's question was interrupted by Nan Yi:
"Where is my mother?"

"Oh! She's talking to Teacher Zhang at the door! She just happened to come in... one by one?"

Qi Pei'er looked left and right, only to find that Nan Yi had thrown away his pencil and ran over quickly as Nan Zhi stepped into the door.

It's just basic operation for sticking to mom and baby, Qi Pei'er is already used to it.

She was curious about what was written in Nan Yi's homework book, so she leaned in to take a closer look.

You won't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it—

Because of the lack of wrist strength, the handwriting looks a little childish and distorted.

But you can tell that the person who wrote it was very serious and tried to make every stroke as neat as possible.

The whole thing appears clear and clean, with almost no signs of any mistakes or modifications.

Well, how should I put it...

In Qi Peier's eyes, that was a strong hint of a top student!

"Hiss. Yiyi, did you just write this homework?"

Qi Pei'er really couldn't help it.

As a result, her question just happened to attract Teacher Kobayashi who was behind Nanzhi.

"What? Did Nan Yi finish his homework?"

As Nan Yi and Qi Zhang's temporary class teacher, although Teacher Kobayashi assigned homework to the two kids, she did not expect them to be able to finish it.

At most, she regarded the two cubs as a group to provide atmosphere, and she would never choose them when asking questions in class.

As a result, Nan Yi did not throw away the homework book, but wrote it seriously?

Teacher Kobayashi happily leaned over to take a look.

She had already prepared herself mentally, thinking that no matter whether Nan Yi had scribbled on his homework book or not, she would praise him well.

Attitude is more important than results!

…Then she was dumbfounded.

"This, this was written by Nan Yi?"

Because it is a lower grade, the homework is not difficult.

But this doesn't mean that a kindergarten child can write it easily!

Moreover, Mr. Kobayashi's accuracy rate is as high as 80% when he takes a quick glance!

The remaining 20% were not wrong, but needed to be compared with the answers!
Qi Pei'er was also surprised at first.

But when she saw Teacher Kobayashi's stunned expression, she quickly put away her surprise and changed her expression:

"Yes, we wrote it one by one. He is a genius! We all know it!"

She boasted so loudly that she woke up her precious nephew.

Qi Zhang got up in a daze:
"Have you eaten, auntie..."

Qi Pei'er's pride instantly turned into disappointment.

Nanzhi took Nanyi closer and said modestly:

"He's not a genius. He's just hardworking. He likes reading books at home, so he knows more words naturally..." Chapter 202 She Refused

Nanzhi was humble for only two seconds.

In the end, it was inevitable that they would embark on the path of showing off their children.

But it doesn't matter.

Compared to other people, her little bit of self-satisfaction is nothing!
[Right! That's it! Stand up proudly!]

[My little kid is an invincible little genius! ]

[Yiyi is really smart, kind, and considerate of her mother. She is simply a perfect baby! ]

[I remembered the super memory I showed before. It was just a primary school homework. I got it done! ]

[Hehe, I am unmarried and childless, but I have experienced the satisfaction of being a parent in advance! ]

[If I can have a baby like this after getting married, then I won't be afraid of marriage! ]

…

The audience was praising Nan Yilai in the barrage without any rules.

They have become the Internet parents of Southern Italy and will not tolerate anyone saying anything bad about them.

Compared to them, Nanzhi can be considered rational.

After bidding farewell to Teacher Kobayashi with shining eyes, Nanzhi held Nanyi's hand, and Qi Peier led Qi Zhang, and they walked home together.

The photographer and the director followed behind.

Maybe Nanzhi and the others chose the wrong time for the shooting. The weather in your province has been very unpredictable recently.

Halfway through the journey, the sky seemed clear just a moment ago, but suddenly a large mass of dark clouds blew over, pressing gloomily down overhead.

Nanzhi was experienced and only took one look before making a firm judgment:
"It's going to rain."

Qi Pei'er uttered softly:

"No way, it's coming so fast?"

Out of unconditional trust in Nanzhi, Qi Pei'er still pulled Qi Zhang and quickened their pace.

Nan Yi clung even closer to the southern branch, staring vigilantly at the surrounding woods that were swaying in the strong wind.

"Don't be afraid."

Nanzhi stretched out his hand to stop Nanyi, as if stretching out his wings to protect him under his wings.

Nan Yi's tension eased slightly.

but.

The rain came faster than they expected.

Without any warning, raindrops as big as soybeans fell from the sky.

In a blink of an eye, it started to rain heavily. Nanzhi and his friends could neither advance nor retreat, so they had to temporarily hide under the shade of a tree.

The dense tree canopy with lush branches and leaves formed a large umbrella above their heads, temporarily keeping the wind and rain out.

Nan Yi was well protected by Nanzhi, so even the corners of his clothes were not wet.

Nanzhi was different, her clothes were soaked from shoulders to back.

Fortunately, she was wearing a suspender underneath, so she didn't expose herself when the white shirt got wet and stuck to her body.

But the feeling of wet clothes sticking to the body is not much better.

When the wind blew, the fabric felt cold and stuck to my skin.

Nanzhi couldn't help but shiver.

Nan Yi, who was closest to her, noticed it first.

He raised his little face worriedly:

"Mom, are you cold?"

"fine."

Nanzhi comforted him.

But this was not enough to alleviate Nan Yi's worries.

He stared at the dense rain between the sky and the earth, but unfortunately he was powerless to do anything.

In the end, he could only stretch out his arms and hug Nanzhi tightly, trying to use his thin body to keep his mother warm.

It's actually useless, but that doesn't stop Nanzhi from smiling.

Because of Nan Yi's actions, the stormy weather seemed no longer a concern.

"This won't work."

Qi Pei'er was not much better than Nanzhi, her hair and clothes were almost soaked.

But she loves exercising and her body is much better than Nanzhi's, so she looks calm at the moment.

On the other hand, Nanzhi's lips have turned slightly pale.

The frail and slender body is like a soft branch that cannot withstand the wind and rain.

Qi Pei'er looked very worried and wanted to use her cell phone to contact the program crew to pick her up.

When I took it out and looked, there was no signal at all!

"what to do?"

"The live broadcast is on, you can see it in the background, don't worry."

Nanzhi pointed at the camera on the cameraman's shoulder and comforted Qi Pei'er.

Qi Pei'er slapped her forehead in annoyance:
"Oh, right, how could I forget!"

Everyone felt much more at ease.

They waited for about 10 minutes before someone finally showed up.

The ones running in the front holding umbrellas were Fu Chao and Xie Yu.

Nanzhi looked at the person who was approaching in surprise:

"Why are you here?"

Fu Chao's breathing was rapid and his hair was wet with sweat.

"If something happens to you, of course we have to come! Are you okay? Hey, your clothes are all wet! Fortunately, I brought a coat! Put it on quickly! Don't catch a cold from the wind! What about Yiyi, are your clothes wet..."

Fu Chao seemed to have turned into a nagging elder, circling around Nanzhi Nanyi with great worry.

Xie Yu held an umbrella and stood quietly behind.

When Fu Chao was tired of talking, he found some free time and handed over the thermos cup:
"It's ginger tea, drink some."

Fu Chao wondered:

"You came out in such a hurry just now, when did you prepare it?"

Xie Yu replied calmly:

"It's just a convenience."

I would never trust him!
Even someone as slow-witted as Qi Pei'er could sense something was amiss.

Not to mention the eagle-eyed audience behind the camera!
[There is something fishy! There is something fishy! ]

[Did you just notice this? I noticed it a long time ago! ]

[So the previous scandal...]

[The gossip is probably fake, but the look in Xie Yu's eyes when he looks at Nan Zhi is real! I'm rooting for this couple! ]

[I'll follow suit! I want to sit at the head table when we get married! ]

[Does anyone think that Fu Chao's attitude towards Nan Zhi is also very special? This is the first time I see him nagging like this! ]

[Strange, I don't feel any ambiguity when I see Fu Chao's actions. Instead, it feels more like my mom nagging me for not wearing long johns.]

【Hahaha what a wonderful metaphor! 】

…

However, Xie Yu quickly took out a second thermos cup and handed it to Qi Pei'er:
"There's one for you, too."

Qi Pei'er said meaningfully,
"I know, I know. Thank you."

By the way, she understands!
Xie Yu's eyebrows were still cold, and Qi Pei'er's teasing eyes were insignificant to him.

He is looking at Nanzhi.

Nanzhi was half squatting, handing the ginger tea to Nanyi's mouth:

"Drink a little."

Nan Yi closed her mouth tightly, trying very hard not to glare at Xie Yu:

"I don't like it."

Nanzhi did not insist and drank two sips of ginger tea herself.

The warm heat dispels the cold and dampness.

Nanzhi stood up and nodded politely to Xie Yu:
"I'll wash the cup and return it to you when we get back."

No one thought there was anything strange about Nanzhi's attitude.

Only Xie Yu.

He noticed the change in Nanzhi's tone almost instantly.

That is the alienation that draws the line.

She knows.

She refused.

Even someone as calm as Xie Yu couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

He was very upset.

Because I was so concerned, I forgot to give her ginger tea, which was too obvious.

But with Nanzhi's personality, she would not accept his initiative but would only retreat.

Fortunately, Xie Yu had figured out Nanzhi's character early on and knew that some things could not be rushed.

Anyway, Nanzhi didn't explain it clearly.

He pretended nothing had happened and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly weird, Fu Chao quickly came out to smooth things over and suggested going home.

No one objected.

The rain shows no sign of abating, who knows if there will be a sudden thunderstorm. Chapter 203 I'm Sick

Nanzhi still fell ill.

She felt nothing all the way home and until dinner time.

Until night fell, heavy rain poured down outside the house, and the strong wind made the loose windows rattle.

Nanzhi felt dizzy and his body was alternating between hot and cold.

It's clearly a symptom before catching a cold.

Nanzhi turned off the live broadcast early, took out some cold medicine from her medicine bag, and took it with warm water.

She didn't want Nan Yi to worry, so she deliberately went to the inner room.

As a result, Nan Yi, who was lying on the small table reading quietly, suddenly ran over as if by telepathy.

As soon as he saw the medicine box, Nan Yi's eyes widened:

"Mom, are you sick?"

His voice was tense and extremely nervous.

Nanzhi calmly put down the cup and smiled:
"No, this medicine is just for prevention."

At this moment, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, supporting her body with her arms.

In fact, her consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, and the drowsiness side effects of the cold medicine made her condition worse.

This made Nanzhi's speech slurred, so she had to lift the quilt and lie down:
"It's still early, Yiyi, you can play for a while, and remember to go to bed when you are tired... Mom went to bed first..."

As time went on, her voice became softer.

The last few words were almost whispered.

"Mother!"

Nan Yi clutched the corner of the quilt, feeling terrified as if he had been left behind by the whole world.

He could see his mother barely raising her eyelids to look at him, then quickly drooping them again and falling into a deep sleep.

Her face was even paler, and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she felt uncomfortable even in her sleep.

Nan Yi hated this feeling.

He was so panicked that he wanted to call his mother, but was afraid of waking her up.

Caught in a dilemma, he dared not go anywhere and didn't want to read books. He was like a little guardian angel, squatting beside the bed watching over his mother without blinking.

After squatting for a while, his calves became numb and his eyes became sore.

Looking at my mother again, she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, with her brows gradually relaxing.

Nan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the common sense he had accumulated in his four and a half years of life, he thought that the cold medicine his mother took must have worked.

"Good night, Mom."

Even though he knew his mother couldn't hear him, he still said this obediently.

Then he turned off the lights, lifted the quilt, and carefully lay down on Nanzhi's side.

He gently held Nanzhi's arm and snuggled up to her like a little koala.

In this way, the fear in my heart faded a lot, and was replaced by peace of mind.

Nan Yi felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how much time has passed…

Nan Yi suddenly woke up.

He felt very hot around him, as if a ball of fire was wrapping around him.

But I was just sleeping in bed, where did the fire come from?

He got up in a daze, rubbing his sleepy eyes with one hand and holding the corner of Nanzhi's clothes with the other.

With this clench, I finally found the source of the scorching heat.

Where is the fire?

It was clearly Mom who had a fever! She was burning hot!
"Mom! Mom!"

Nan Yi was so frightened that his voice was shaking.

He gently lay on Nanzhi, and his first reaction was to listen to her breathing.

Nanzhi's breathing became rapid and disordered because of the discomfort, and Nanyi's little heart also became disrupted.

He pursed his lips tightly and tried to wake Nanzhi up.

However, Nanzhi seemed to have lost consciousness, his eyes were closed, his forehead and nose were covered with sweat, and his lips were bloodless.

At this moment, Nan Yi was calmer than ever before.

His tender and weak body burst out with rationality that did not belong to his age. He did not cry loudly, nor was he at a loss.

The first thing Nan Yi did was to use his mobile phone to call the production team.

He knew that he was young and weak, so he had to ask adults for help at critical moments.

Nan Yi had good ideas, but unexpected situations always happened.

He pressed the phone twice and found that it was a black screen and could not be opened at all.

Is the power out?

Nan Yi suppressed the trembling of his hands, slid down the edge of the bed, and ran to the socket at the end of the bed to charge.

Then he noticed that the charger was unresponsive.

Nan Yi thought of something and ran to the door to turn on the light.

The lights were off, and the house was dark and quiet, making the sound of rain hitting the leaves outside the window even clearer.

It turned out there was a power outage.

Nan Yi tried to clench his hands tightly, calming down his emotions and thinking about what to do next...

Oh, by the way, he remembered the way and could go find someone!
"Mom."

He murmured softly, but his eyes became more determined and full of courage.

He immediately ran to the suitcase, took out his clothes and changed them quickly.

I put on a raincoat on the outside.

Before going out, Nan Yi saw two umbrellas leaning against the corner, one black and one red.

He had an idea and picked the red one.

Because this color will be more conspicuous in the middle of the night when there are no street lights.

When everything was ready, Nan Yi tiptoed to open the bolt and opened the door.

The wind was blowing and fine raindrops were pouring in my face.

Nan Yi used all his strength to open the umbrella against the wind and rain.

Before stepping out, he turned around and glanced at the quiet inner room.

He decisively closed the door and set out to find help.

The strong wind was accompanied by heavy rain, and the sky and the earth were gray.

On the muddy country road, a small figure can be vaguely seen—

The umbrella was very big and Nan Yi had a hard time holding it up.

Because of the wind, the umbrella was blown all over the place.

As a result, he, who was thin, began to stagger from side to side.

Nan Yi tried very hard to clamp the umbrella handle between his shoulders and neck, and barely managed to prevent the umbrella from being taken away.

He stepped deep and shallow in the muddy water, his small body swaying, but he moved forward towards his goal firmly.

The night makes it easy for people to lose their sense of time.

Nan Yi didn't know how long he had been walking. He just followed the road in his memory, crossed the small path exactly, and reached the cement road.

He knew that having reached this point, he had already gone most of the way.

It will be here soon.

Nan Yi comforted himself in this way.

But because it was too dark, I didn't pay attention to my feet and accidentally stepped on a small stone, and I slipped and fell!
Bang!

A dull sound of something falling to the ground.

But there was no cry of pain or sobbing.

Nan Yi seemed to be unable to feel the pain. He just frowned and glanced at the torn raincoat, then he grabbed the umbrella tightly, gritted his teeth and climbed up...

In the distance, warm yellow car lights broke through the rain, arriving like a surprise.

Nan Yi's brows were twisted into a knot, and he was not happy about it.

He didn't think it was a good thing to encounter a car in the mountains late at night.

He even wanted to hide in the bushes and wait until the car passed by!

At this moment, the red umbrella he was holding was particularly eye-catching.

The people in the car not far away probably saw it.

The car slowed down gradually until it stopped.

Nan Yi ran without thinking!
As soon as he moved, his legs, which were worn by the rough stones, began to hurt, greatly limiting his ability to move!
Nan Yi remained calm, tightly grasping the fruit knife in his arms, staring at the car that stopped in the heavy rain like a vigilant wolf cub. Tao An originally thought that he had already cultivated himself to be like those outstanding predecessors, trusting and following his master unconditionally, and would not be surprised by any of his master's decisions...

He is still young after all.

"Your province? Vacation?"

Tao An glanced at Mr. Lu's back, which looked as calm and indifferent as a banished immortal, and felt puzzled.

How come a man who works all the time and has never had a vacation in his life suddenly understands the principle of combining work and rest?

Moreover, the vacation location he chose was not a sunny seaside island or a quiet and peaceful mountain forest, but a mountainous area in your province?
Of course, your province is great, he likes it very much, and he even traveled there when he was in college...

There is a difference between Gui Province and Gui Province!
Who would go to the barren and backward mountainous area of Gui Province for vacation?
It's not like I want to live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain to practice Taoism!
Oh, wait.

Tao An suddenly thought of something and quietly took out his cell phone to check.

Now, all the unreasonableness has a reason—

The filming of the "Cub Observation Diary" is currently underway in the mountainous areas of your province.

In other words, Miss Nanzhi is there.

Tao An was in a weird mood.

Lu Shixu's ethereal and distant figure, as if in the clouds, was suddenly tainted with the air of worldly life, becoming down-to-earth and approachable.

It even made Tao Ansheng have the illusion that "Mr. Lu is similar to me and will also be trapped by love", and then he recalled his college days...

Tao An's lack of movement made Lu Shixu look at him sideways.

The light gaze was full of oppression, which made Tao An's hair stand on end!

"...I'll arrange it right away!"

Thinking that Mr. Lu was the same as himself was his biggest delusion in his life!
Taking a half-month vacation, a decision that sounded wonderful, was accompanied by an unpleasant workload.

In order to finish the backlog of work before going to your province and to ensure that there would be no problems in the operation of the company in the next half month, Tao An worked overtime for three days in a row.

Of course, it was not just him who was tired, but the entire secretariat was running at high speed.

The person who bears the most responsibility is Lu Shixu himself.

Given his temperament, the reason why he can have so many subordinates following him loyally is naturally due to his intelligence and his style of putting everything first.

For example, when Tao An got off work at 9 o'clock in the evening for three consecutive days, Tao An had never seen Lu Shixu leave the office.

When I think about all the hard work, it was all for the purpose of going to the mountainous areas of your province under the pretext of taking a vacation...

Tao An wanted to laugh.

Especially when he thought about his predecessors who knew nothing and thought Mr. Lu was going to expand the territory, they were all excited...

Tao An wanted to laugh even more.

Soon, all the work was completed as scheduled.

Tao An happily received three times the overtime pay and, as the only assistant who knew about the situation, accompanied Lu Shixu to the mountainous area of Gui Province. After landing, he drove non-stop to the mountainous area.

It was raining heavily and the road conditions were a bit bad, but fortunately they drove very steadily and did not encounter any accidents along the way.

The driver, Lao Sun, is an old man around Lu Shixu. He is a retired soldier, a ruthless man who doesn't talk much. He also works part-time as a bodyguard.

After driving on the mountain road for several hours, Lao Sun did not show any signs of fatigue at all, which made Tao An, who was so sleepy in the passenger seat, extremely envious.

When Tao An leaned back in his chair, half-closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep...

Old Sun suddenly slowed down the car, looked ahead, and said out of the blue:
"There's someone."

Lu Shixu, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, suddenly opened his eyes with sharp eyes.

Tao An was completely awakened. He shouted in panic,
"Someone? Who?"

They arrived late, and they showed up on the mountain road in the middle of the night. Could it be that...

"Is there a ghost?"

Tao An huddled up into a ball, trembling.

Old Sun, who has always been as taciturn as a background board, rarely showed a speechless expression and glanced at Tao An.

He immediately stepped on the brakes, slowly stopped the car, and explained:

"It's a little kid, probably 3 or 4 years old."

When Lao Sun was in the army, he was a special forces soldier, and small skills like identifying people on rainy nights were basic operations for him.

But his judgment turned Tao An's fear into anger. He said dissatisfiedly,
"A child? It's the middle of the night and it's raining. Which adult is so careless as to let a child run out?"

Looking at the curled up little ball from afar, looking so pitiful, Tao An couldn't help but feel sympathy.

He wanted to get out of the car to check the situation, but at the same time he remained rational, worried that there might be a trap behind, a way for the bad guys to lure them out of the car...

Tao An was just about to ask Mr. Lu in the back seat, but when he turned around, he saw a figure flash by in the back seat.

Mr. Lu pulled out an umbrella from the car door and got out of the car quickly.

Tao An was dumbfounded.

Old Sun was also surprised.

As Lu Shixu's subordinates, they certainly knew what kind of person Mr. Lu was.

In any case, it has nothing to do with descriptions such as kindness and compassion.

Agreeing to Tao An to go and help was the greatest possible tolerance on his part.

How could he take the initiative to get out of the car in the rain and help?

"I'll go and take a look."

Tao An hurriedly followed and pushed the door open.

The dark night without lights makes it difficult to see clearly, and the heavy rain blurs the vision even more.

Tao An only vaguely saw Mr. Lu squatting down in front of the little ball... Hmm? Squatting down?
"Mr.!"

Tao An quickly chased after him.

As he got closer, he could see the child's appearance more clearly.

He was wrapped in a raincoat and holding an umbrella, huddled on the side of the road. His trouser legs were all dirty, and even his snow-white face was splashed with mud, making his cheeks wet.

The only thing was that pair of eyes, which were surprisingly bright, with a sense of childish ferocity, like a wolf cub ready to pounce and bite people at any time.

Tao An's brain was slow for two seconds before he reacted. He was horrified:
"Little Nan Yi? Why is it you? What happened?"

Even Tao An could think that meeting Nan Yi on the road late at night was because something happened, so how could Lu Shixu not think of it?
He thought deeper and further.

Due to his almost instinctive understanding of Nan Yi, Lu Shixu knew that there was only one person who could make Nan Yi run so fast.

He stared at Nan Yi closely, his tone cold:
"Did your mother have an accident?"

Rather than doubt, it is better to say it is certainty.

At this moment, Lu Shixu's whole body was exuding cold air, and he was stern and cold, ready to strangle someone to death at any time!

Nan Yi opened his eyes and looked at Lu Shixu quietly for several seconds.

Until he confirmed that the person in front of him was really the annoying man who was chasing after his mother...

He didn't like this person, but that didn't stop him from asking for help.

No matter what the other party's reason for being here, the most important thing at the moment is his sick mother at home!
So, Nan Yi said decisively:
"My mother is sick, there is no electricity at home, I came to find someone to help."

Nan Yi explained the situation succinctly.

Lu Shixu's facial lines became increasingly tense, and he picked up Nan Yi without saying a word.

"Walk." Chapter 205 Fortunately I met him

Tao An, who sat back in the passenger seat, seemed to want to say something but hesitated several times.

He saw the scene in the back seat from the rearview mirror -

After getting on the bus, the two figures, one big and one small, tacitly kept a distance from each other.

The older one, wearing an exquisite hand-made custom-made casual suit, looked dignified and cool, and he could sit down in a serious business meeting with just a lift of his feet.

However, because he had just held the child, his clothes were covered in mud, leaving obvious wet marks on the expensive yet delicate fabric. Even the corners of his clothes, which had been ironed meticulously, were wrinkled, revealing a somewhat disfigured look.

The younger one next to him, with his raincoat still on, held an inordinately large red umbrella in his arms. He was dirty as if he had rolled in a mud puddle, except for his little face which was relatively clean, but also extremely cold and pale.

If you look closely, you can seem to see him trembling slightly.

"Is it cold?"

"No."

"Your leg is injured?"

"fine."

The two, one big and one small, who were very frugal with words, quickly ended the conversation.

Only Tao An, who was standing aside, was puzzled by what he heard.

Sir, sir, can't you hear that Nan Yi is clearly saying one thing and thinking another?

He ended the conversation quickly without asking any more questions.

What about sympathy and compassion for human cubs?
...Oh, I forgot that his husband doesn't have such a thing.

However, it was the cold-blooded Mr. Lu who just picked up the dirty little wolf cub with his own hands and brought him to the car.

Mr. Mingming is a germaphobe and is so picky about his environment that he is almost harsh.

Now that my clothes are dirty, I just frown.

This is beyond expectations, okay?

Tao An was so torn by the conflict that he didn't even notice that there was a pair of burning eyes staring at him in the back seat.

Tao An suddenly looked up, met those eyes, and uttered a low "ah".

Nan Yi took the initiative to ask:

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Somehow, Tao An felt a little scared.

He actually felt a kind of power from Nan Yi that was similar to that of Mr. Lu.

Could it be that it is a natural affinity that makes the two of them have similar auras in some aspects?

Tao An didn't think too much, he quickly calmed down, raised a friendly and kind smile:
"Little Nanyi, uncle has a towel here, do you need it?"

"No, thank you."

Nan Yi's mind was not on these things at all.

He was eager to go home and just hoped that the car would go faster and faster, or even better, it would have wings so he could fly directly back to his mother.

Unfortunately, because the mountain road was slippery and it was late at night, for safety reasons, Lao Sun could not drive too fast.

Anxious, Nan Yi held the umbrella tighter.

Lu Shixu suddenly glanced over:
"Are you wary of me?"

"What?"

Nan Yi didn't understand what was going on.

Lu Shixu didn't say much, just pointed at the handle of the knife in Nan Yi's arms from a distance.

Nan Yi then remembered the thing in his arms and pulled it out.

The knife flashed so brightly that it almost blinded Tao An's eyes who was secretly paying attention to the back seat!

Tao An exclaimed:

"Be careful! Don't get scratched!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously worried:
"How can a little kid like you play with a knife? It's too dangerous!"

Nan Yi was silent for two seconds.

Rather than being silent, it's more like being a little speechless.

Then he answered:

"It's not for fun, it's for self-defense."

Tao An was stunned on the spot.

On the contrary, Lu Shixu readily praised Nan Yi's behavior:
"You have a strong sense of crisis, which is good."

Nan Yi, who would be shy or excited about her mother's praise, felt no emotion after hearing Lu Shixu's praise and just said "Oh" calmly.

Lu Shixu: "But you can take out the knife now."

What he meant was that southern Italy was safe now.

But what about Nan Yi?
"Thank you."

He didn't say anything else.

It is equivalent to a polite refusal.

Tao An came back to his senses from his surprise and almost laughed when he heard this sentence.

Are they all bad people in the eyes of the children in Southern Italy?
Well, the one in the back seat is hard to say, maybe he really has some "bad" intentions...

"The car can't get in."

Lao Sun told everyone a bad news.

Tao An couldn't laugh for a moment, frowned and looked forward—

I saw that the road was not only narrow, but also completely soaked with mud and water from the rain, with the edges having collapsed a bit.

Even though their car was a high-performance off-road vehicle, they could only grope around in such bad road conditions.

Tao An is worried:

"Then we..."

Click.

Nan Yi slid down from the back seat holding an umbrella.

The interior of the off-road vehicle was large and tall, so Nan Yi could stand upright, with his little head raised in defiance:

"Wait a minute, I'll go get my mother out."

He probably thought that under the current circumstances, Lu Shixu and the others were not willing to go in.

So, Nan Yi pushed the door and got out of the car without thinking, being stubborn and having a bad temper.

Lu Shixu grabbed his shoulder in time.

Under the huge palm, Nan Yi was unable to move and could only look back in anger.

Lu Shixu's eyes were indifferent:
"Didn't you say she fainted? Do you think you can hold her?"

Nan Yi's little shoulders suddenly slumped.

He gritted his teeth and finally gave in and lowered his head:
"Please..."

"Need not."

Lu Shixu interrupted him and pushed the door open and got out of the car.

His voice could be heard faintly in the rain:
"Stay in the car and wait for me to bring her over."

Nan Yi stared at her back.

No matter how reluctant he was, he had to admit it now.

Fortunately I met him.

at this time.

Lu Shixu was already holding an umbrella and walking along the path, quickly approaching the old house that almost blended into the night and rain.

He had amazing night vision, and he quickly determined the direction and walked quickly to the door.

The door was ajar, probably because Nan Yi left in a hurry.

Lu Shixu frowned.

But we can't blame a 4 and a half year old for not thinking carefully enough.

He walked into the house, took a quick glance to get a clear idea of the situation inside, and walked accurately towards the inner room separated by a curtain.

As soon as he approached, the fragrance that filled the room, wrapped in the dampness of water vapor, accurately hit his soul, creating long-lost yet familiar ripples.

Taste is the longest memory.

Lu Shixu paused.

In a trance, he seemed to see a familiar bedroom, the same darkness, the same rainy night, the same person lying on the bed...

"Hmm."

Nanzhi let out a painful groan, waking Lu Shixu from his thoughts.

He quickly took two steps forward, ignoring the sense of déjà vu that was so strong that it resonated with his soul. The only thing in his eyes was Nanzhi lying on her side on the bed.

She is very thin.

Even though she was a little fuller than when they first met, she was still surprisingly slender.

As fragile as glass, beautiful but easily broken.

When she arched her back, her seaweed-like black hair spread out on the pillow, and the thin back exposed by the loose neckline of her nightgown revealed a clear line of her spine...

Lu Shixu was so terrified that he thought her frail bones were about to break.

His heart suddenly sank, and Lu Shixu stepped forward and shook her gently:

"Nanzhi, Zhizhi, wake up."

Nanzhi has really slowly opened his eyes.

Chapter 206 Who are you thinking about?

However, Lu Shixu soon discovered that he had misunderstood.

Nanzhi didn't wake up.

She was still in a hazy state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

The eyes she opened were empty, wet and unfocused.

It was as if vines were growing quietly and madly from it, tightly grasping Lu Shixu's brain, heart, soul, and everything else in the darkness, making it impossible for him to break free and force him to surrender.

"It's you…"

She whispered to Lu Shixu.

It seemed like I saw a very familiar person.

There are even more turbulent emotions lurking beneath this sentence.

Lu Shixu was not happy about this.

Instead, he fell into a brief silence.

His several meetings with Nanzhi could not be described as unpleasant, nor pleasant.

He could feel the boundary that Nanzhi had deliberately drawn between him and himself. The two of them maintained a relationship that was better than strangers but far worse than friends. They could not be called familiar with each other at all.

So that elusive strong emotion...

Nanzhi, who were you thinking of when you said this?
Lu Shixu pursed his lips quietly.

The feeling of jealousy is raging silently.

However, his movements when he reached out and picked up Nanzhi were still gentle.

It was like holding a cloud, not daring to use even a little more force.

Seeing that Nanzhi's nightgown was thin, Lu Shixu reached out and took his coat from the head of the bed and wrapped her tightly.

He stood up and took two steps outside, and saw Tao An standing at the door.

Lu Shixu was not surprised at all and simply said one word:

"Walk."

Tao An immediately put a raincoat on Lu Shixu and held an umbrella for him.

When he was about to reach the car, Tao An used the car lights to see Lu Shixu's messy appearance.

The expensive handmade sheepskin shoes were soaked to the point of being unsightly, the trouser legs were covered in dirt and mud, and the half of the shoulder exposed outside the umbrella was soaked...

And he was completely unaware.

The person in his arms was not even exposed with a single hair.

Tao An sighed in his heart, thinking that even Mr. Lu couldn't get past the test of love.

"Tao An?"

Tao An came back to his senses with a start and quickly went forward to open the door.

At the same time, he did not forget to take off Lu Shixu's raincoat.

Lu Shixu stepped on the pedal and bent down to get on the car, when a small figure bumped into him head-on.

He was holding Nanzhi, but he was still able to use his hands to push Nanyi away.

Nan Yi glared angrily, as if questioning why Lu Shixu didn't let him get close to his mother.

Lu Shixu: "The raincoat is dirty."

Nan Yi then remembered that he had not taken off his raincoat yet.

It's a bit embarrassing.

He said "oh" and quickly took off his wet raincoat.

Lu Shixu had already laid Nanzhi flat on the back seat, with her head resting on his knees.

Fortunately, the space in the off-road vehicle was large enough, and Nanzhi was thin, so the back seat was not crowded.

Despite this, Lu Shixu and Nan Yi still chose to hide in the corner at the same time.

Lu Shixu's back was almost pressed against the car door, and his hands were always protecting Nanzhi's head.

Nan Yi, relying on his small stature, squatted on the ground, leaned on the edge of the seat, and looked at his mother worriedly.

Nanzhi, who was in a coma, seemed to feel his breath and opened her eyes dazedly.

"One by one… one by one…"

Nan Yi rushed over with joy:

"Mom! I'm here! Are you feeling better? Can you see me?"

Nanzhi was obviously not conscious, but she subconsciously didn't want to worry her child, so she comforted her by saying,
"Mom is fine... don't worry..."

Nan Yi's eyes turned red.

He raised his hand to wipe away the tears or rain on his face, and pursed his lips:

"It's okay, Mom. I'm with you."

What a heartwarming picture of a loving mother and a filial son.

Unfortunately, it was not so pleasing to Lu Shixu's eyes.

For the first time in his life, he was actually jealous of a child.

Lu Shixu suppressed those hideous and sticky emotions and closed his eyes.

The hand protecting Nanzhi's head never moved away.

Nanzhi woke up to a harsh noise -

"...You unscrupulous doctors only know how to cheat people out of money. You just give me IV drips no matter what the condition is. My grandson is in good health..."

Nanzhi heard that the old man was taking advantage of his old age and throwing a tantrum, not wanting to pay, and was making a fuss.

Suddenly, the sound stopped, as if someone was strangling his neck.

A cold voice came:

"If you want to argue, go outside and argue."

Hmm?
Lu Shixu?
Then, a childish and innocent voice sounded:

"Grandpa, your precious grandson seems to have fainted."

The old man, who subconsciously chose silence, suddenly burst into screaming.

After a period of chaos, the noise finally faded away from Nanzhi's ears.

She opened her eyes with some difficulty.

The first thing I saw was the slightly shabby ward and the infusion stand connected to the back of her hand.

Then, Lu Shixu and Nan Yi were seen standing side by side at the door of the ward.

One is tall, the other is short, but there is an inexplicable harmony between their auras.

However, in Nanzhi's eyes, he could see that the two of them were deliberately keeping their distance.

He moved a little closer when he stepped into the door, and then quickly moved away after he stepped in.

Somehow, Nanzhi found it somewhat funny.

At this time, the old lady in the next bed spoke to them gratefully:
"Thank you, father and son. I was almost killed by the noise of that old man just now."

Lu Shixu and Nan Yi looked strange and said in unison:
"We are not father and son."

I wish I could sever my ties with you right now!
The old lady made a puzzled sound:

"Hmm? Not father and son? But you..."

"Ahem."

Nanzhi, who was lying on the hospital bed, coughed at the right time.

Lu Shixu and Nan Yi rushed towards her without thinking.

The two seemed to have reached an agreement in advance, one standing on her left and the other on her right.

The attitude of caring for her is exactly the same—

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Mom, are you still feeling bad?"

Nanzhi supported herself with her arms and tried to sit up.

Nan Yi was the first to rush over and try to help.

Unfortunately, he was too weak to support Nanzhi.

In the end, Lu Shixu reached out his hand, carefully held her shoulders, helped her sit up, and did not forget to put two pillows behind her back.

Nan Yi gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Shixu.

Lu Shixu seemed not to notice anything and was only concerned about whether Nanzhi's pillow was soft and whether it would be uncomfortable for her to sit on.

This action made Nan Yi feel that it was a bit of pride and boasting.

Hum! Man!

Nanzhi saw that Nanyi was unhappy, and quickly held his little hand.

Then asked:

"What's wrong with me?"

Lu Shixu paused and explained what happened yesterday.

However, the part where Nan Yi went out in the wind and rain to seek help was briefly mentioned.

Nan Yi, who was about to explain, shut up obediently after hearing what he said.

Nan Yi didn't expect that this annoying man actually knew that he didn't want his mother to know what happened yesterday and didn't want to make his mother worry!

Is this understanding him, or understanding his mother?

Anyway, no matter which one it is, it's annoying! Chapter 207 Mom has changed

, but Nanzhi was not fooled so easily.

She heard from Lu Shixu that Nan Yi happened to run into him...

exactly?

How could Nan Yi, who was staying at home in the middle of the night, happen to meet Lu Shixu?
Nan Zhi guessed the truth almost effortlessly.

She clenched Nan Yi's small hand, leaning forward slightly out of worry:
"You went out? Alone?"

As she spoke, her voice trembled.

Nan Yi, who was originally looking at his mother eagerly, immediately began to look around.

Of course Nan Yi didn't want to make her mother sad.

Perhaps it was the slight friendship that grew from the hardships they had gone through together yesterday that made him look to Lu Shixu for help. After all, there was no one else here who could help him except Lu Shixu.

As a result, Lu Shixu placed his hand on Nanzhi's thin shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, he's just worried."

Nan Yi: ...An unreliable man!
He turned his head to look at his mother again, her eyes reddened and her pupils misted with water, she looked at him fearfully.

Nan Yi suddenly panicked:

"Mom, don't cry! I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Nanzhi shook her head, but was reluctant to blame Nanyi:
"It's my fault."

Lu Shixu's palm tightened unconsciously:
"You are sick, what's wrong with that?"

He stared closely at the infinite tenderness and tolerance that Nanzhi showed towards Nan Yi.

Suddenly, a strong sense of frustration arose.

It seemed as if the atmosphere between the mother and son was not one he could interfere with.

In the end, Lu Shixu could only stand quietly by and watch the mother and son hugging each other and crying. You comfort me and I comfort you, but he became the superfluous one.

Lu Shixu's face was gloomy and he took two steps back silently.

Then someone tugged at the corner of his clothes.

He turned back coldly, scaring the old lady in the next bed.

However, Lu Shixu quickly restrained himself and said:

"What's up?"

The attitude changed so quickly that the old lady thought she had seen it wrong.

After calming down, the old lady gossiped and said,
"What are you standing there for? Go and comfort your wife and children."

Not my wife and children...

This explanation went around in Lu Shixu's mind, but he didn't say it in the end.

He lowered his voice a little and said:

"They don't need me."

"You're so stupid! They don't need it, so why don't you just go over and get close to them?"

The old lady's words, as an experienced person, awakened the dreamer.

This reminded Lu Shixu of what Fu Yunfeng said: "Know your own position."

His complexion improved visibly, like a shell of ice melting away:

"I see."

Lu Shixu took out his handkerchief and stepped forward, interrupting at the right time:

"He was very brave. If it wasn't for him, who knows what would have happened last night."

As he said this, he handed the handkerchief to Nanzhi.

Nanzhi hugged Nanyi, who was as docile as a kitten, and raised her face.

Because of her illness, her face was pale and bloodless, with only a little bit of red at the corners of her eyes.

She leaned weakly on the hospital bed, like a piece of fragile glass, which made Lu Shixu's heart suddenly soften.

"Don't cry…"

He bent down slightly and tried to wipe away the tears on Nanzhi's face with a handkerchief.

Nanzhi turned her head away.

Lu Shixu was stunned.

Nanzhi did not forget the sudden appearance of the person in front of her. She was just surprised:
"Why are you here?"

Yanjing and your province are tens of thousands of miles apart.

Encounter by chance?

What a joke!
Lu Shixu didn't seem to be annoyed when he heard her tone, he just felt it was strange.

His worries subsided, and he explained a little uncomfortably:

"My work has come to an end recently, and I want to take a vacation in the mountains."

This is his consistent statement to the outside world.

Nanzhi stared at him without changing her expression, with a clear expression on her face:

You see whether I believe you or not.

Lu Shixu: ...

He avoided the wolf-like gaze of Nan Yi in Nan Zhi's arms and said,
"I want to come and accompany you."

He lowered his head, looking a little humble.

Nanzhi suddenly felt touched and thought of the past Lu Shixu.

He was like this before the conflict broke out. No matter how proud he was in front of others, he would always lower his head in front of her and silently carry her on his back through the long snowy nights...

"Who are you thinking about?"

Although Lu Shixu tried his best to suppress it, this sentence still inevitably revealed a bit of cold hostility.

Nanzhi suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Lu Shixu with a strange expression.

She could naturally hear that Lu Shixu's words were full of jealous questioning.

No matter how calm he appeared on the surface, he was probably going crazy inside.

etc.

He asked this because he thought she was thinking about someone else through him?

Realizing this, Nanzhi almost laughed out loud!
Just because he lost his memory, is Lu Shixu jealous of himself now?

This is really...

So interesting!

However, Nanzhi's expression was interpreted differently by Lu Shixu.

He quickly calmed down:
"Sorry, that's not what I meant."

Nanzhi hummed in an ambiguous tone.

Lu Shixu felt something was wrong.

But he didn't dare ask.

So I could only change the subject:
"Are you hungry?"

Nanzhi didn't want to trouble him and was about to shake his head.

Gurgle.

Her stomach started to growl.

I didn't feel well yesterday, so I didn't eat much for dinner and went to bed.

Up to now, I have been fasting for almost ten hours.

It would be strange if I wasn't hungry!
Nanzhi was quite frank and didn't feel embarrassed:
"Well, I am a little hungry."

Lu Shixu stood up without thinking:

"I'll go buy you breakfast."

Nanzhi was calm and didn't think anything was wrong. She just said:

"Don't forget Yi Yi."

Nan Yi, lying in Nanzhi's arms, didn't even raise his head.

Lu Shixu nodded.

Of course he understood better than anyone that if he wanted to be with Nanzhi, Nanyi was the high wall that he absolutely could not cross.

So, what does it matter if he prepares an extra breakfast for Nan Yi?
If there is a chance, he is willing to make Nan Yi his unique child and heir!
"Wait for me for 5 minutes."

Lu Shixu stood up quickly and disappeared at the door of the ward in a blink of an eye.

Nanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But the old lady in the next bed muttered quietly:

"You still say we're not a family? He's obviously a henpecked husband..."

The faint whispering sound drifted into Nanzhi's ears, but she didn't hear it clearly and looked at him in surprise.

The old lady was a little embarrassed, but she did not miss the opportunity to talk to Nanzhi and said enviously:

"Look how obedient your husband is! Unlike my husband, he wouldn't even pick up the broom when it fell on the ground!"

Nanzhi was stunned:
"He is not..."

The old lady's cell phone suddenly rang, forcing Nanzhi to interrupt his explanation.

The old lady got up and went to the corridor to answer the phone, leaving only Nanzhi and Nanyiyi mother and son in the ward.

Nan Yi said sullenly,
"Mom has changed."

"Um?"

Nanzhi was caught off guard.

Nan Yi pursed her lips:
"Mom used to look at that uncle with cold eyes, but it's different now."

Nanzhi was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

Children are more instinctively sensitive to emotional changes than adults.

Could it be that...

Has her mind towards Lu Shixu really changed? Chapter 208 A sense of crisis -

Nanzhi fell into silent contemplation until the vibration of her cell phone brought her back to reality.

Lu's timing is very detailed.

Not only did he send her to the hospital yesterday and keep watch over her all night, he also remembered to charge her phone.

The person calling now was Fu Chao.

Nanzhi then remembered that the program crew might not be aware of the situation, so she quickly picked up the phone.

"I…"

"Which hospital are you in? Are you okay? Is there anyone by your side? Are you conscious? We're coming right here!"

As soon as Fu Chao opened his mouth, he started talking a lot.

Nanzhi opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

This silence made Fu Chao misunderstand, and he shouted anxiously:

"Nanzhi? Nanzhi? Zhizhi? Did you faint?"

"…I am awake."

Nanzhi pinched the bridge of her nose.

She couldn't help but think back to when she first met Fu Chao, he was polite and cold, and he kept a distance from others...

Is this really the same person as the one in front of me?

"Don't worry, I'm much better now, but I'm still receiving intravenous drips."

Nanzhi explained in a few words and finally calmed Fu Chao down.

But she was also curious, why did Lu Shixu remember to inform the production team?
When did he become so thoughtful?

Fu Chao: "Wait a minute, we'll be here right now."

Nanzhi's thoughts were interrupted and she wanted to refuse.

"Okay, it's decided!"

Fu Chao rarely showed his tough side and hung up the phone without saying anything.

Nanzhi held the phone in a daze for several seconds, then suddenly laughed.

Although Fu Chao always acts like a funny guy.

But at critical moments, he occasionally shows his strong and caring side like a brother.

Should we say that people are indeed complicated?

She doesn't dislike Fu Chao's style...

"Are Uncle Fu Chao and the others coming over?"

Nan Yi suddenly raised his little head.

Nanzhi was confused and nodded:
"Well, what's wrong?"

Nan Yi pursed her lips.

He didn't say he felt a sense of crisis.

He slid down the edge of the bed and ran to the bedside table:

"Mom, do you want some water?"

"Hmm? Oh, sure."

Nanzhi stared blankly at Nanyi running in and out of the ward.

He first ran to the water dispenser and filled a paper cup with mineral water.

What he received was not cold water, but cold water mixed with hot water. He then used his little hands to feel the temperature was just right before handing it to Nanzhi.

Wait for Nanzhi to bring the cup of water to his lips and sip it slowly.

Nan Yi: "How is it? Is it hot?"

Nanzhi replied: "Not hot, just right."

Nan Yi was very satisfied.

Then he asked Nanzhi:

"Is mom cold?"

The jacket over the nightgown that Nanzhi was wearing was not thin.

However, due to the infusion, the cold liquid continuously flows into the body, and it is inevitable that you will feel cold.

But Nanzhi thinks it's generally good, so…

"Okay, I understand."

Nan Yi nodded in understanding.

Nanzhi:
Did she speak?
What did Yi Yi know?

Nan Yi ran to the chair in the corner and picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair.

Nanzhi saw that the coat was unfamiliar and tried to stop him:

"Yi Yi, we can't take things from strangers..."

"It belongs to that uncle."

As Nan Yi explained, he climbed onto the bed flexibly, shook out his folded coat, and draped it over Nanzhi's shoulders.

Nanzhi: ? ?

Lu Shixu's?

Doesn't Yi Yi hate him?

Why would she offer to borrow his coat?

Without Nanzhi asking, Nanyi answered obediently:
"As long as it's useful to mom."

The expression on her little face was so serious!
Nanzhi felt helpless and amused.

That's not all.

Just then, the old lady in the next bed came back from a phone call. Nan Yi ran over and looked up seriously:
"Auntie, can I borrow an apple? Just one."

There was a full fruit basket sent by relatives and friends at the old lady's bedside.

There were several apples placed inside, so Nan Yi chose to borrow apples.

The old lady was so amused by Nan Yi's bratty behavior that she couldn't stop laughing:
"Oh, my grandson is as old as you, and you still call me auntie? Haha, it's just an apple, there's no need to borrow it, just take it and eat it! But little guy, are you greedy and want to eat the apple? Do you want me to peel it for you?"

Nan Yi shook his head:

"I can do it myself. I want to peel it for my mother. Thank you, Auntie."

The old lady's heart melted instantly, her envy stronger than ever before, she said to Nanzhi:

"How did you raise your child? He's so sensible and cute! If only my child were half as good as him..."

He shook his head and sighed again, full of regret.

Nanzhi could only say a few polite words.

However, she stared at Nan Yi's movements the whole time and did not dare to be distracted.

Nan Yi held the apple and carefully peeled it with a fruit knife.

Nanzhi: "How about mom come?"

Nan Yi insisted: "I can!"

He is not a child with blind confidence.

If you say you can, then it really is possible.

Although the old lady and Nanzhi next to him were terrified, Nanyi still managed to peel the whole apple smoothly.

He even had an idea and brought over a few paper cups to use as a makeshift fruit plate.

Then cut the apple into small pieces that are just big enough to eat, and put them in a paper cup.

"No fruit forks."

Nan Yi was a little annoyed.

"It's okay. This is good."

What else could Nanzhi not be satisfied with?
Didn't you see the old lady next to her was almost drooling with envy?
Moreover, after Nanyi handed a paper cup to her mother, she was very considerate and gave one to the old lady:
"Auntie, thank you for the apple."

The old lady's face was almost broken with laughter:
"Oh my, there's mine too? Little guy, you are so sensible and cute!"

The old lady kept flattering Nan Yi until he felt embarrassed.

Even so, he did not forget to wash the fruit knife and his hands clean, and throw the fruit cores and peels into the trash can.

The old lady suddenly became serious and suggested to Nanzhi:
"I think you can publish a book about how to raise children! Oh no, now there are so many people making Douyin and Xiaohongshu, you should also make one, it will definitely become popular on the Internet!"

Nanzhi had never expected that in a small town in a remote mountainous area of Guizhou Province, she would meet such a fashionable old lady who would teach her how to do self-media. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Just at this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from far away.

"It's right here!"

A large crowd of people rushed in, which scared the old lady. She thought these people were here to cause trouble.

Actually not.

Qi Peier rushed over first:

"Zhizhi! Are you okay? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were sick? Have you been feeling unwell since yesterday?"

Fu Chao followed behind him, frowning:
"It must be related to the rain yesterday! It's all Xu Lin's fault! The production team has a big loophole here!"

Xie Yu stood at the foot of the bed:

"What did the doctor say?" There were more than just three of them.

Nanzhi moved his gaze—

Qi Zhang's expression was exactly the same as his aunt's:

"Aunt Zhizhi, were you exhausted yesterday?"

Xie Anan lay on the edge of the bed closer to Nanzhi, her little apple face full of cuteness and seriousness, and she comforted him in a baby voice:

"Are you feeling uncomfortable, Aunt Zhizhi? An An will blow on you, and the pain will go away!"

Qingxi came to Nanyi and comforted his good brother:

"Don't worry, brother Yi Yi, we are here with you!"

In addition to the three cubs, there are also Xu Lin and other members of the program crew.

Xu Lin already felt guilty, and he was also terrified after being scolded by his big boss...

He was caught off guard by Fu Chao's cue, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he lowered his head with a wry smile, a little afraid to look Nanzhi in the eye.

He also believed from the bottom of his heart that it was their program crew's fault that Nanzhi fell ill yesterday and had nowhere to turn for help.

They took it for granted that with the advent of mobile phones in modern society, even if someone lives a little far away, they can be notified with just a phone call, and it is unlikely that an unexpected situation will occur.

But who would have thought that continuous thunderstorms would affect the electrical circuits and cause a large-scale power outage in Cuishui Village?

Under heavy pressure and seeing Nanzhi's eyes on him, Xu Lin could no longer remain calm.

He stepped forward and bowed,
"Sorry, this was an oversight by the production team."

Fu Chao's eyes were sharp, as if he was questioning:
"Just an apology?"

Xu Lin sighed:

"Of course not. We will make corrections later, such as sending people to live near Nanzhi and his friends, providing a professional medical team, and preparing satellite phones..."

Fu Chao glared:
"Don't change houses?"

Xu Lin hesitated for a long time before saying,
"It's hard to explain to the audience after all."

Fu Chao was dissatisfied.

But before he could finish his words, Nanzhi stopped him.

"That's enough. Yesterday's illness was just an accident."

She's not a glass doll that will break if touched.

What's more, she felt that changing houses was unnecessary.

With Nanzhi's clear statement, Fu Chao reluctantly shut up.

He turned around and continued to care about Nanzhi:

"Why don't you take a rest? The doctor said your fever has subsided. By the way, who brought you to the hospital yesterday? We should thank that kind person!"

This unintentional remark revealed that no one, including Fu Chao, knew the ins and outs of yesterday's incident.

Nanzhi paused, not knowing where to start explaining.

At the same time, she was also curious about how Lu Shixu notified the production team and why he only said half of the words.
Speak of the devil, and he will appear.

The footsteps gradually became louder, as if there was an imposing force that could not be ignored, attracting everyone to turn around and look.

At the door of the ward, Lu Shixu stood tall, his gaze calm and indifferent, yet he had a sense of arrogance as if he was looking down upon the clouds.

The only thing that didn't fit in with him was the plastic bags of food hanging on his hands. There were big and small boxes filled with different kinds of breakfast, which were extremely rich and dazzling.

Everyone present was so nervous that they fell silent, as if they dared not even breathe in front of this person.

After all, after the filming of the second episode of Nanjia Restaurant, they all knew the identity of this person—

One of the investors, the famous Mr. Lu.

Of course, their awe was not simply because of Lu Shixu's identity as an investor.

Putting this relationship aside, Lu Shixu himself was an existence that they looked up to but could not reach.

So, when they saw him with bags hanging from his hands, some looked surprised, some gasped, and some simply cast their curious eyes towards Nanzhi...

Some people also remembered Miss Chang Muchang who was staying in Cuishui Village.

It is said that the young lady was recommended by the investor.

I wonder what the relationship is with this Mr. Lu?
Among the people with different expressions, the expressions of several guests and Zi Zi were the calmest.

Xie Yu was indifferent, and Fu Chao simply pretended not to know him.

Qi Pei'er stood on Nanzhi's side, positioning herself as Nanzhi's friend. When she looked at Lu Shixu, there was less fear and more scrutiny in her eyes.

Lu Shixu walked in calmly, facing everyone's gaze.

He was not embarrassed by his disarray.

If it was embarrassing, he would not have adopted Tao An's suggestion in the first place.

So, Lu Shixu calmly walked through the crowd and came to Nanzhi's bedside, trying to free his hands to open the small table.

Fu Chao curled his lips:

"Let me do it."

As he spoke, he deftly unfolded the small table on the bed.

Lu Shixu nodded:
"Thank you."

Fu Chao's movements froze.

It sounded like Lu Shixu was the master.
Could it be that Nanzhi and Lu Shixu were together?

Fu Chao's expression changed constantly, it was very interesting.

Although he did not have any ambiguous feelings for Nanzhi, it was more of a pure emotion like that of friends and siblings.

However, he still couldn't help feeling jealous when he saw Lu Shixu showing his extraordinary intimacy with Nanzhi.

It's like seeing a wild boar from outside eating up your own cabbage.

Wild boars are cunning, crafty and scheming.

The little white cabbage was so fresh and innocent, but she didn't know why it was eaten up.

But he had no right to say anything.

It would be fine if he just said "treat Nanzhi as your sister" in front of his parents, but to really say it in front of Nanzhi and even presumptuously interfere with Nanzhi's personal relationships, then Fu Chao was too ignorant of the limits.

Therefore, no matter how much Fu Chao disagreed, he could only sigh silently at this time.

Lu Shixu placed the breakfast in front of Nanzhi one by one:

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared it."

Finally, I remembered Nan Yi and added,

"Nan Yi can eat whatever he wants."

Nan Yi pouted unhappily.

Although he is young, he can distinguish priorities and knows that his mother's feeding is very important.

Seeing that Nanzhi had an infusion needle hanging on the back of her right hand, he actively helped:

"Mom, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you!"

Nan Yi picked out the most fragrant scallion pancake, held it in her little hands, and handed it to Nan Zhi's lips.

Nanzhi lowered her head and smelled it. Just the smell of scallion oil made her feel nauseous.

Probably a side effect of the cold.

But she didn't want to refuse Yi Yi's kindness, so she thanked him and was about to eat.

Lu Shixu gently pushed Nan Yi's hand away:

"Your mother doesn't like it."

Nan Yi glared at him coldly:
"How do you know what my mother likes!"

He even emphasized the three words "my mother".

Lu Shixu didn't answer, but just glanced at Nanzhi.

Nanzhi was stunned:
"Actually, I..."

Nan Yi slowly put her little hand back.

He saw it:
"Mom really doesn't like it."

He was both upset and self-blaming.

How come you can't even tell what your mother likes to eat?
Nanzhi wanted to appease him and took the initiative to ask:
"Yiyi, Mom wants to eat vegetable porridge."

Nan Yi revives with full health in one second:

"OK!"

The plastic porridge bowl was thin and hot.

Nan Yi suddenly had an idea. He dragged the bowl of porridge in front of Nan Zhi and picked up the spoon. Chapter 210 His Joy

"Hoohoo."

Nan Yi was polite and careful. When he scooped up the boiling hot porridge, he did not forget to blow on it twice.

His cheeks are chubby, making him look like a little pufferfish, so cute.

When Nanzhi saw her, she was delighted and her eyes were incredibly soft.

Even the bland, poorly cooked bowl of vegetable porridge in front of me became delicious.

However, before she took a bite of the porridge, she subconsciously looked at the people around her.

Fu Chao and the others did not leave.

More than a dozen people were crammed in the not-so-spacious ward, and even the air seemed thin.

Even if you have experienced being watched by hundreds of thousands of people during live broadcasts.

But there are still two different feelings between meeting online and meeting in person.

Nanzhi carefully chose his words.

As a result, Lu Shixu saw her dilemma and took the lead, speaking coldly:
"The doctor said she needs to rest."

It is not difficult to guess who this is said to and to whom it is said.

The majority of people present were staff members, and the one who spoke was Mr. Lu. Xu Lin did not even dare to delay and nodded quickly:

"Then let's go to the corridor first. Nanzhi, you should focus on healing. I will take care of the live broadcast."

Nanzhi thanked him.

After these more than 10 people left, the entire ward became empty and quiet.

Fu Chao and the others didn't leave.

However, they had a closer relationship with Nanzhi, so Nanzhi felt less uncomfortable. While eating the porridge that Nanyi fed her personally, she naturally invited Fu Chao to share breakfast with them.

Lu Shixu lowered his eyelids silently, showing a hint of displeasure.

Fu Chao saw it.

"... Great! I might as well eat the scallion pancake! It smells delicious!"

Fu Chao stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, and grabbed the scallion pancake in his hand.

At the same time, he did not forget to distribute the extra food on the small table to Xie Yu, Qi Pei'er and the cubs.

Of course, sharing is only allowed after asking Nanzhi if she wants to eat it.

How could Lu Shixu not see that Fu Chao was deliberately targeting him?
He raised his eyelids, as if jokingly.

Then his eyes uncontrollably fell on Xie Yu.

Once it comes to Nanzhi's affairs, Lu Shixu will always be less cold and more sensitive.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Lu Shixu to detect a hint of affection from this man.

An eyesore.

Coupled with Fu Chao who was jumping around happily, he was simply an eyesore.

Lu Shixu frowned and tried hard to suppress his emotions.

He acted calm and generous:

"Eat whatever you want."

Fu Chao: Tsk.

I've already seen through your unhappiness, huh!

Fu Chao took a big bite of the scallion pancake and immediately became very happy.

However, Fu Chao and his friends didn't stay for too long.

Nanzhi can take a break, but their live broadcast must continue.

What's more, based on the identities they drew, there are still a lot of things waiting to be done in the village.

When leaving, Fu Chao really wanted to call Lu Shixu away with him.

But he had to admit that with Lu Shixu looking after her, at least he didn't have to worry about Nanzhi's rest. Lu Shixu would naturally arrange everything for her.

Shaking his head and giving up the plan, Fu Chao walked out of the town hospital. He saw Xie Yu beside him with a gloomy face, wondering what he was thinking.

Fu Chao simply asked:
"Are you worried about their relationship? Don't worry, they are definitely not dating!"

At first, he did misjudge the relationship between Nanzhilu's time sequence.

But he soon realized that based on Nanzhi's attitude, they were not boyfriend and girlfriend!
So, Fu Chao's words were also a crazy hint -

That's right! You, Xie Yu, still have a chance!

Xie Yu suddenly said:
"But she treats him differently."

Fu Chao didn't understand for a moment:

"His attitude towards her? Lu Shixu's attitude towards Nanzhi? It's indeed different. It has always been said that his personality is like that of an immortal, without any desires or demands. Who would have thought that he would have such a good eye and set his eyes on Zhizhi..."

"No. I mean Nanzhi treated him well."

Xie Yu said slowly.

Now Fu Chao was even more confused.

"Really? What's the difference? Why can't I see it?"

Xie Yu shook his head silently.

Some things don't need to be explained; they can be seen from the eyes.

Xie Yu is known as a genius director with outstanding creativity, and his sense of touch in this area is more developed than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, just after a brief encounter, Xie Yu saw the difference -

It's not just "different", there is more in Nanzhi's eyes when she looks at Mr. Lu, closeness, coldness, teasing, alienation... the more contradictory, the deeper.

But Xie Yu didn't expect that Fu Chao was so slow.

Thinking about Fu Chao's career, it seems understandable.

"I remember your romance film did poorly at the box office?"

There was a sense of understanding in Xie Yu's tone, "So that's how it is."

Although Fu Chao is a movie emperor, his career has not been smooth sailing without setbacks.

He has made many movies and TV series, and the few romance films among them were the Waterloo of his life.

A sharp-tongued film critic wrote, "His eyes are dull, he looks at his lover as if he were looking at a piece of wood, and the way he looks at his dog is not as affectionate as before"... This immediately became a laughing stock in the industry, and this shame has never been erased to this day.

Therefore, no matter how slow Fu Chao was, he could still sense something.

"Why do I feel like you're scolding me?"

Xie Yu muttered to himself: You feel right.

But he didn't say it and just walked away.

Fu Chao became more and more puzzled, and finally dragged the reluctant Qing Xi away with him.

In the ward.

The old lady in the next bed looked at the flowers and fruit baskets that filled up the ward in an instant.

This small town is remote and has limited conditions, but people who come to visit Nanzhi can actually collect so many beautiful flowers and rare fruits, which shows that they really put in a lot of effort.

Even the old aunt was envious and said:

"You have so many relatives, they are so nice to you!"

Nanzhi: ...

She didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she didn't explain too much, but just asked Nan Yi to bring some fruit to the old lady.

Nan Yi was very generous, after all, the old lady had just given him an apple.

The Book of Songs says, if you give me an apple, I will give you a banana, a pear, a durian, or a cantaloupe in return...

"Oh, that's enough, I can't finish it!"

The old lady refused verbally, but she was actually smiling from ear to ear.

It's not that she felt she had gotten any advantage, but she was happy that her small kindness received such a huge response.

This made the old aunt unable to help but praise Nanzhi Nanyi again.

I also didn't forget to bring Lu Shixu with me to wash the cups.

Nanzhi listened to the old aunt once again identifying Lu Shixu as her husband, saying how good Lu Shixu was to her and how rare he was among so many men.

Nanzhi tried to explain again, but the old lady rejected her explanation with an expression that said, "Don't lie to me, I know everything."

Helplessly, Nanzhi could only let her misunderstanding.

The two chatted casually, and the time in the ward was not boring.

But Nanzhi didn't know—

While they were talking, Lu Shixu was standing in the corridor outside the door and listened to the whole thing.

He leaned against the wall, his eyes lowered, but he could not hide his joy.

It turns out that she...didn't deny it.

My sleep and sleep schedule has been terrible lately, with my days and nights reversed, so I'm struggling with it... I'll try my best! Chapter 211 As if struck by lightning

. Chang Mu didn't sleep well in the short two days in the mountains.

The first night was barely bearable.

On the second night, she suffered from insomnia. She tossed and turned for several hours but still couldn't feel sleepy.

Even though those people had vacated their best houses for her to live in in order to please her.

But the hardware conditions in poor mountainous areas are really poor.

The house had poor lighting and was old-fashioned. There was always a stinky smell of mud in the house, and the old wooden bed made her feel itchy all over...

The time when Chang Mu felt most aggrieved was when she was wearing Nanzhi's body, but she quickly sold Nanzhi's shabby house and used the money to rent a better house to improve her life.

What about now?
She will have to live in this broken mountain valley for the next half month!

Chang Mu was about to collapse just thinking about it!
Relying on the fact that the system could not fully understand her thoughts, Chang Mu madly complained about the system's decision to instigate her to participate in the show.

She cursed this artificial idiot over and over again but still felt unsatisfied, which directly led to her waking up late this morning.

The latest time for live broadcast is 8 o'clock every morning.

When Chang Mu opened his eyes and looked at the time -

It's already past 10 o'clock in the morning.

No one came to call her?
Chang Mu could only vent his anger on his assistant, scolding him with a dark face:
"Why didn't you wake me up? I asked you to come to the mountains with me for vacation. If the audience has a bad impression of me because of this, can you be responsible?"

The assistant muttered in her heart: Miss, the audience really doesn't care about you as much as you think! Your live broadcast room is now at the bottom of the popularity list, not even a quarter of the top one!

However, workers still have to maintain their dignity, so they can only honestly say:
"Something went wrong this morning, and everyone was in a mess. And the audience in the live broadcast room are now paying attention to other things."

The assistant said the latter sentence with the intention of reassuring Chang Mu.

After hearing this, Chang Mu became unhappy again:

"Who is it?"

assistant:…

I can't pay attention to you, and I can't not pay attention to you either. What do you want, young lady?

Those blind netizens who praised her as a gentle, noble and wealthy daughter should really see what kind of temper she has!

"…It was Nanzhi. When the live broadcast was supposed to start at 8 a.m., the production crew found that no one was in their room. Later they found out that Nanzhi had a fever last night."

Chang Mu sighed.

She was not happy with Nanzhi's scheming and stealing the limelight, and she was gloating over Nanzhi's illness, secretly cursing "serves her right!"
In front of the assistant, she restrained herself a little and said hypocritically:
"Is that so? How pitiful! Where is she? I'll go visit her!"

The assistant shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Chang Mu resisted the urge to reprimand her assistant, washed up, and then carefully put on fake natural makeup, choosing a dress that looked casual but actually perfectly set off her skin and figure.

By the time she walked out of her residence, it was already past 11 o'clock.

Chang Mu wanted to find someone to inquire about Nanzhi's location, preferably in front of the audience, to show his "genuine concern".

So she came to the program team's base camp, saw several staff members gathered together talking, and naturally walked over.

The other party's whispered conversation then floated into her ears:

"I didn't expect it would be that person..."

"The relationship must be complicated..."

"Actually, they are a good match..."

"We've come so far to chase you..."

"…"

Chang Mu was at a distance, so he couldn't hear clearly and could only catch a few words intermittently.

These words automatically formed gossip in her mind—

Nanzhi is sick, and her sponsor has come to see her!
Chang Mu's eyes suddenly lit up!
In fact, these staff members did not mention sponsors at all in their conversation, but Chang Mu automatically equated those words with the word "sponsor".

Because she always felt that Nanzhi's sudden turnaround was strange.

It was obvious that when she was in that body, the situation was as bad as it could not get any worse, and she could not think of any way to turn it around.

As a result, once Nanzhi's soul returned, she went from being blacklisted by the entire Internet to being admired by thousands of people. She took off on the spot, which made all her previous efforts and struggles seem ridiculous!
Relying on cooking skills? Relying on food?
She didn't believe it!

He must have hooked up with some big money sponsor and made a comeback with the help of capital!

This big money owner might be a fat pig with big ears and covet Nanzhi's beauty, so he is willing to become her pawn!
Chang Mu soon realized that this was a good opportunity.

She secretly took out her cell phone and started recording, then quietly moved closer...

"Miss Chang!"

A staff member spotted her and immediately made an excuse to leave!

Chang Mu called out to the young man who was left behind in time. There was no embarrassment on his face about being caught eavesdropping. Instead, he stepped forward more naturally, with a natural worry on his face:

"I heard Nanzhi went to the hospital because of a fever? How is she now?"

The intern who had just joined the program team did not suspect anything and explained that Nanzhi had been sent to the hospital last night and was basically fine now.

Chang Mu patted his chest:

"That's good! I was worried that she lived in a remote place, and there was only a child like Nan Yi around her, so no one would know she was sick! I didn't expect the production team to find her in time..."

"It's not us, it's Mr. Lu, he's also here with the show."

Chang Mu quietly adjusted the angle of the phone in his pocket to ensure a more accurate recording.

She asked in surprise:
"Mr. Lu? It sounds familiar, could it be..."

"Yes, it's Mr. Lu Shixu. Miss Chang should know him."

The young man misunderstood and said the name without any thought.

Chang Mu's expression suddenly changed as if he was struck by lightning!

"Lu... time sequence?"

"That's right. Could it be that... Miss Chang doesn't know him?"

The young man finally realized that something was wrong.

Chang Mu didn't want to be exposed too early, so he smiled dryly:

"No, no, of course I know him, but I am surprised that a man like him would come to the mountainous area of your province."

"Yes, we were also surprised. We didn't expect Mr. Lu to take such good care of Miss Nanzhi!"

The young man seemed to remember something and couldn't help laughing.

Chang Mu thought she had heard wrongly.

Who is taking care of whom?
Lu Shixu?
After the young man was called away, Chang Mu finally came out of his shock and desperately called the system:
"What's going on? Why does the boss I want to capture know Nanzhi! Why didn't you remind me before!"

That's right.

The target that Chang Mu has always wanted to get close to and conquer is Lu Shixu!

In the original book, he is the hero's greatest benefactor, helping him to build an entertainment empire almost hand in hand! He
is also the most mysterious and powerful top boss in the book!
Chang Mu has tried to get close to and get to know Lu Shixu many times, but after years of hard work, he couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes! The only time they met was when Chang Mu accidentally ran into Lu Shixu at a private restaurant.

She had thought that would be the start of the Raiders mission.

The reality is that the boss is still elusive, making her suffer a lot of frustration.

But now I hear people say—

Lu Shixu helped Nanzhi and took good care of her?
What a joke!
How could the cold-hearted and aloof boss in the original story suddenly become a kind-hearted passerby who saw injustice?

Is this really something he would do?

The only explanation is...

"Could it be that they knew each other before?"

Chang Mu was smart enough to guess the truth correctly.

The system that has been lurking and not showing up recently also appeared at this time:

[Yes, they are ex-boyfriend and girlfriend. ]

Chang Mu looked unhappy:

"You're not going to tell me that Nan Yi belongs to Lu Shixu..."

【Please explore on your own. 】

How could Chang Mu be fooled by the system's mysteriousness?
After being bound to the strategist for so long, she had also figured out some patterns.

For example, when the answer involves important secrets, the system's refusal to answer is often equivalent to affirmation.

Chang Mu is going crazy!

If she had known that Nanzhi was Lu Shixu's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child, why would she have gone to such great lengths to find other ways to get close to Lu Shixu? She could have just come to him with the child in her arms!

As a result, because of incomplete understanding of the plot and inaccurate exploration of Nanzhi's identity, this great opportunity was missed!

Chang Mu collapsed and held his head, muttering regretfully:
"No wonder you keep reminding me..."

In fact, Chang Mu really wanted to complain and blame the system.

This is her character.

But she didn't want to experience the electric shock punishment, so she suppressed her temper and started frantically thinking about how to deal with it.

"No, we can't go on like this. If we continue to let them develop, what if their old feelings rekindle..."

And Southern Italy!

Even if a couple divorces, their children are the inseparable bond between them!

Chang Mu didn't dare to underestimate Nan Yi's role between Lu Shixu and Nanzhi!
This was related to her strategy mission, and Chang Mu didn't dare to ignore it anyway.

She was about to ask the system what to do next.

The always cold and ruthless system spoke hastily:
[The help the system can provide is limited, please complete the strategy task by yourself. ]

Then it was completely quiet.

Chang Mu seemed to sense a hint of panic from its accelerated speaking speed and called out several times.

The system was unresponsive, as if it had fallen into hibernation.

Chang Mu knew that the system would occasionally enter a dormant period.

According to its own explanation, it is due to lack of energy and must restore energy through hibernation.

So now the system is suddenly diving because of lack of energy?

Chang Mu became suspicious.

But she didn't have time to think deeply about it at the moment. The most urgent thing was to find out the relationship between Lu Shixu and Nanzhi.

And Southern Italy.

Suddenly, Chang Mu opened the system panel that only she could see and found the nightmare editor.

A simple pop-up window floats in front of your eyes, still with the familiar two options of [Manual Edit] and [Automatic Edit].

Before, Chang Mu thought he knew Nan Yi well enough, so he confidently chose [Manual Edit].

The result was nothing.

Nan Yi is in good spirits and condition, and is not troubled by nightmares.

It also makes Chang Mu and the system's methods seem more and more ridiculous.

Later, Chang Mu tried the [Auto Edit] function.

Then I was told that each use of [Automatic Editing] would consume points.

Her points have been reset to zero, and even the [Nightmare Editor] was obtained by overdrawing points.

Uncertain about the side effects of overdrawing points, and the fact that the [Nightmare Editor] had not worked, made Chang Mu unwilling to continue throwing points into the bottomless pit, so he had not been able to use this function.

Now the crisis is in front of her, even if the result is useless, she has no choice but to try!

Chang Mu decisively selected [Automatic Edit]! -Town
Hospital.

The aunt in the next bed who was hospitalized alone was very envious of Nanzhi who was surrounded by her husband and children, and each one was more caring than the other.

One asked her if she was thirsty, the other asked her if she was hungry;
the younger one just put the pillow under her and covered her with the quilt, the older one brought a warm towel and wiped her face and hands;

...What a warm and happy family!
What a pity.

Nanzhi herself didn't feel any enjoyment at all, instead she felt very troubled.

Being cared for too much is also stressful!

She could still refuse Lu Shixu.

What about Yiyi?
I can't let my baby down, right?

In desperation, Nanzhi had to lie down hurriedly under the pretext of sleeping.

The fatigue brought by the high fever came over her, and before long, Nanzhi fell asleep.

She was lying on her side, curled up slightly.

It is said that this sleeping posture is a sign of insecurity.

Lu Shixu watched quietly for a while, and wanted to go forward to help Nanzhi smooth down the corner of the quilt...

A pair of small hands got there before he could.

After that, Nan Yi glanced at Lu Shixu with a smug look.

It seems to be saying - I am my mother's most caring little cotton-padded jacket!

Lu Shixu asked him:
"Aren't you sleepy? You almost didn't sleep all night."

Nanzhi had a very high fever last night, and even injections couldn't lower the temperature at first.

Lu Shixu and Nan Yi stayed with her until the early morning, and only then did they see the temperature drop with their own eyes.

Lu Shixu is an adult and has a good physical condition, so it's okay for him to not sleep occasionally.

How can Nan Yi do this?
Although when Nan Zhi asked him just now, Nan Yi replied that he had slept since last night.

But Lu Shixu saw it very clearly. Just now, Nan Yi yawned more than 10 times in 5 minutes!

Nan Yi: "I'm not sleepy…Ahaha!"

Another yawn.

Lu Shixu said nothing, just walked to the side and unfolded the nursing bed.

This small bed is just right for a nice sleep.

Nan Yi's gaze was drawn there uncontrollably.

But he was stubborn and unwilling to admit:
"I am very energetic!"

Lu Shixu said directly:

"When she wakes up, are you going to yawn in front of her?"

A fatal move.

No matter how reluctant Nan Yi was, he had to admit that Lu Shixu was right. In the end, he went over obediently and lay on the accompanying bed.

Almost at the same time Nan Yi closed his eyes, he felt deeply sleepy.

After a while, Nan Yi's breathing gradually became even and low.

This is a deep sleep.

Lu Shixu had anticipated this and raised his hand to help Nan Yi pull the quilt.

Nan Yi seemed to sense the displeasure and turned over with his back to Lu Shixu.

Lu Shixu helped him cover the quilt again without changing his expression.

It's not that he is so kind or cares about Nan Yi.

Lu Shixu just understood very well—

For Nanzhi, Nanyi is more important than anyone else.

Therefore, if he wants to get closer to her, he must make Nan Yi accept his existence.

But Nan Yi himself seemed unable to see clearly, and was always trying to please Nan Zhi out of anxiety and fear.

Did anything happen between this mother and son before?

Lu Shixu seemed to be thinking about something.

Nan Yi closed his eyes and his consciousness quickly fell into darkness.

Soon, he felt thick fog spreading from all directions and surrounding him.

Nan Yi was no stranger to this feeling.

I'm dreaming again.

Nan Yi thought about it, feeling a little bored, and even wanted to yawn.

In the past half month, he has had similar dreams many times.

From being nervous and vigilant at the beginning to being accustomed to it now.

If Nan Yi is in a good mood, he will comment on the advantages and disadvantages of today's dream, like an excellent film critic.

So, now he was in a relaxed posture, curiously watching the mist automatically solidify into human figures and objects, and finally form a substantial scene—

This is an old corridor.

The air was filled with damp and moldy smells, and large chunks of paint had fallen off the walls on both sides, leaving them in a mottled state.

It was raining outside the window, making breathing sluggish and difficult, and my chest felt like it was being pressed by a heavy stone.

With just one glance, Nan Yi was sure that he hated this place.

An almost instinctive, intuitive disgust.

Suddenly, a creaking sound came from the front.

The wooden door next to it was opened, revealing a pair of childish eyes through the crack.

"Nan Yi!"

The other party shouted.

Nan Yi felt very strange.

He was a boy who looked not much older than him. He was very thin, with dry and sallow cheeks, and it was obvious that he had been malnourished for many years.

strangeness.

He obviously didn't know this person, so why did the other person know his name?

Just then, the boy pushed open the door and rushed straight towards him.

Nan Yi subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

As a result, his hands and feet reacted more slowly than expected, and Nan Yi could only watch helplessly as the other party was about to hit him...

Crash.

Nan Yi was smashed into pieces and dissipated like smoke.

The boy was totally unaware and walked straight through.

Nan Yi's body then solidified again and returned to its original intact state.

Such a sudden change made Nan Yi open his eyes wide in shock!
He had seen TV dramas, and this kind of scene...

Could it be that he had turned into a ghost?
Nan Yi hurriedly followed the boy's direction, but suddenly he felt a chill all over his body!

Because he saw himself.

However, he became even more skinny, and his eyes were dark, like a pool of stagnant water.

Only when he saw the boy beside him did he feel a slight fluctuation.

That 'Nan Yi' didn't speak.

It was the boy who first noticed the bloody scars all over his exposed arms.

"Did that bastard Dean hit you again?"

The boy was so angry that he wanted to find someone to settle the score right there and then!
Nan Yi stopped him and said,
"Brother Chen, I'm fine."

The boy named Xiao Chenge was so angry that he loudly retorted:

"What do you mean nothing? Is there any part of your body that has never been beaten? Last time they said you ate secretly, this time they said you were disobedient, what excuse will they find next time? This cannot go on, sooner or later you will be beaten to death by them!"

Nan Yi looked at him calmly:
"But Xiao Chen, no one will help us."

Brother Chen clenched his fists and couldn't help sobbing.

The two children were so immersed in their emotions that they didn't even notice someone approaching from the other end of the corridor.

But Nan Yi, who was not far away, saw it.

He came to his senses from the shock of seeing himself and wanted to warn him.

As a result, no one paid any attention to him and they couldn't see him.

Nan Yi didn't understand why this happened?

He could only watch as the sneaky man approached the two children, and after hearing the other party's curse, he slapped them in the face.

"Well, the dean usually provides you with food and clothes, and you actually dare to curse the dean behind his back!"

Brother Chen's hair and scalp were pulled up fiercely. He grimaced and subconsciously wanted to fight back.

Then he was beaten even harder.

'Nan Yi' also wanted to pounce on him, but he was too thin and weak, and had no power to resist, and soon fell at the man's feet.

The two children seemed to have experience. They raised their hands to hold their heads and passively endured the punches and kicks.

After a while, both of them had bruises on their faces and bodies.

The man stopped panting and said,
"Pah! You are such a blind bastard! No wonder even your parents don't want you and dumped you in this crappy orphanage!"

Nan Yi, who was very quiet at first, suddenly started to struggle:
"My mother didn't abandon me!"

The man grinned complacently:

"Yes, your mother didn't abandon you, she just died young. Oh, and maybe she was killed by you! You are a jinx to your parents, a born unlucky star!"

'Nan Yi' was extremely angry, and pounced on the man and bit his arm like a wolf cub!

The two men started fighting again, and the scene was extremely chaotic!
However, the other Nan Yi was completely stunned.

Dead…?

Who died?
He was dull and stupid, with a buzzing head.

He only vaguely noticed that someone ran over and stopped the man and the other him.

Not only did the man separate the two, he also said that they couldn't fight Nan Yi anymore because they were going to record a variety show next, and they were still counting on Nan Yi to make money for them...

Nan Yi shuddered all over and became completely awake.

He wanted to rush over and question her regardless of the consequences.

As a result, the surrounding scene suddenly shook, and black smoke spread everywhere, like ink dripping into water, quickly dissolving and melting until it completely disappeared!
Nan Yi suddenly opened his eyes and was silent!

Then he met Lu Shixu's gaze as he looked down.

Lu Shixu frowned slightly, one hand still on Nan Yi's shoulder:
"What's wrong with you?"

He looked slightly worried.

Of course, this worry is mainly because he doesn't want Nanzhi to get sick and has to worry too much about Nanyi.

Unexpectedly, Nan Yi's reaction was extremely intense. He slapped Lu Shixu's hand away and got up in a panic.

Lu Shixu's eyes darkened and he caught Nan Yi who was running towards Nanzhi's bed in time.

"do what?"

If it weren't for Nanzhi, Lu Shixu would never have tolerated someone without any bottom line.

Even if this person is only 4 and a half years old, he is just an ignorant child.

Therefore, Lu Shixu was already feeling unhappy.

The cold power spread from his body and pressed heavily on Nan Yi's shoulders, but it failed to have a deterrent effect. Instead, it made Nan Yi struggle even harder.

"Let go! Let me go!"

Nan Yi used all his strength to struggle frantically, and almost turned his head and bit Lu Shixu's wrist!

But if you look closely at his eyes, you can tell that he is not sober now.

There was confusion and bewilderment in his eyes, as if he was trapped in a nightmare.

The noise he made was particularly loud in the quiet ward.

Sure enough, Nanzhi hummed softly and opened his eyes:

"all?"

"Mother!"

As soon as Lu Shixu loosened his grip, Nan Yi immediately threw himself into Nan Zhi's arms like a young swallow flying into the forest!
He tightly grasped the corner of Nan Zhi's clothes with his little hands, and his little body couldn't stop shaking:
"Mom... Mom, don't die..."

There was lingering fear and despair in his eyes!

The effect of dreams on him is so obvious! Chapter 214 Get Closer

Nan Yi couldn't explain why.

The dream was so real that it made his hair stand on end.

It's like...

He had experienced all of this himself!
The intense fear still lingered in his mind, causing him to tremble in Nanzhi's arms.

Only by desperately absorbing the warmth from his mother could he get out of his state of panic and feel at ease...

This look was really strange to Nanzhi.

Nanzhi was no longer sleepy and asked hurriedly:

"What's wrong?"

Unable to get an answer, she could only look around frantically, wanting to ring the bell to call the doctor.

In his haste, he naturally didn't notice that the IV tube was pressed by his arm, and it was pulled down with the movement, and the glaring scarlet blood spilled out!
"Ah!"

The aunt in the next bed who was awakened screamed on the spot!
Lu Shixu walked forward silently.

He held Nanzhi's wrist with one hand and used his thumb to press the medical tape on the back of her hand to stop the bleeding;

With one hand, she grabbed Nan Yi by the waist and dragged him out of Nan Zhi's arms!
"Mom!"

"all!"

The mother and son glared at Lu Shixu at the same time!

It seems like he is looking at the enemy!

And Lu Shixu's eyes were cold:

"It's bleeding."

Nanzhi felt no pain:

"Give Yi Yi back to me!"

She has always been emotionally stable and never reveals her thoughts.

At this moment, she rarely showed a fierce attitude.

Lu Shixu unconsciously tensed his back and subconsciously wanted to let go...

wrong!

"You're bleeding."

He emphasized again, almost stubbornly, that this was the most important thing!

Nanzhi disagrees:

"It will be fine soon."

She was more worried whether something had happened to Nan Yi!

Looking at Nan Yi again, he had calmed down without knowing when and was staring at Nan Zhi.

"Mom... is still here."

Lu Shixu frowned:
"He just had a nightmare."

Unexpectedly, Nanzhi felt even more distressed after hearing this, and insisted that Lu Shixu take Nanyi back. She held him in her arms like a baby and comforted him with soft words.

"It's okay, Yi Yi, mom is here."

Nan Yi blinked and understood the situation more clearly.

The real scenes in the dream just now are still vivid in my mind.

The warmth and fragrance of the mother in front of me are also real.

Nan Yi hesitated for a moment before slowly saying,
"I...had a dream."

"Dreaming again? What did you dream about this time?"

This is exactly what Nanzhi was worried about.

The attacker and her system hiding in the dark had prepared some hidden arrows to deal with them and their son.

Therefore, Nanzhi dared not miss any details.

Afraid of missing the opportunity and making a big mistake.

Nan Yi probably sensed Nan Zhi's seriousness and said honestly,
"I dreamed of another me. He was in an orphanage, and then his mother died."

With every word Nan Yi uttered, Nanzhi's heart sank a little.

These descriptions reminded her of the so-called plot of the original book.

That is, the plot without the participation of the Raiders—

Nan Yi's life as a villain began after his mother died and he was sent to an orphanage.

In the orphanage, he suffered a lot and experienced the warmth and coldness of life.

Later, he struggled hard and walked out of the darkness alive.

But his only friend died there.

According to the description in the original book, the tragic experience in the orphanage during his childhood was the fundamental reason for his distorted character and his evil path.

...But those are the plots in the books, why did Nan Yi dream about them?

Could it be because of the raiders again?
Nanzhi pondered.

At the same time, I also believe that this should not continue.

Nan Yi could keenly detect all her subtle emotional changes and could not help but straighten his back:

"Mom, what's the problem?"

"How could it be!"

Nanzhi answered reflexively.

She didn't want to make Nan Yi worry.

Similarly, Nan Yi didn't want to make Nan Zhi worry.

So she comforted her with a serious face:
"Mom, it's just a nightmare. I won't take it seriously."

Nanzhi smiled and didn't respond.

Lu Shixu stood by and observed them calmly.

Just at this moment, the doctor called by Lu Shixu came, helped Nanzhi change her hand and re-hook the infusion bottle.

Nanzhi was immersed in his thoughts and his perception of pain became numb.

So she didn't notice that the hand she was using for the acupuncture was vaguely held by Lu Shixu.

Nan Yi noticed.

He looked at Lu Shixu with a complicated expression, recalling the dream he had just had.

No matter how reluctant Nan Yi was, he had to admit:

"Thank you for waking me up, uncle."

Lu Shixu was deeply surprised.

Nan Yi felt more and more awkward and quickly turned her face away.

Nanzhi realized it later and couldn't help thinking -

So, would those strange dreams wake her up as long as they were interrupted?
She didn't know, so she could only remember this secretly...

The next morning, Nanzhi was discharged from the hospital.

She was accompanied by Nan Yi and Lu Shixu.

Lu Shixu naturally stayed with Nanzhi and helped her with everything.

His driver and assistant were nowhere to be found.

Lu Shixu, who is usually so noble and proud, as if he is untouched by the world, has been doing everything himself these past two days.

When Nanzhi got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, she even saw him sitting there with his back against the cold corridor wall, and he fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Maybe it was because he was too tired, or maybe it was because Nanzhi's steps were too light.

He was so alert that he didn't even notice that Nanzhi was walking back and forth in front of him.

At that time, Nanzhi stood in front of him for a while, looking at the faint dark circles under his eyes, and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Anyway, after that, she never mentioned a word about asking Lu Shixu to leave quickly.

Instead, he just let it go.

There seemed to be a tacit harmony between the two.

When she was discharged from the hospital, Fu Chao and others wanted to pick her up, but Nanzhi stopped them on the grounds that it would be troublesome if there were too many people.

So Fu Chao said that he would hold a big banquet in the village and wait for her to come back.

Nanzhi couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

Then he agreed immediately.

She walked out of the hospital and saw the familiar Assistant Lu Shixu.

His eyes swept over the other person lightly, and noticing the assistant's nervousness, Nanzhi slowly looked away.

"Get in the car."

Lu Shixu walked forward and stood between Nanzhi and Tao An in a very natural manner.

He was carrying the things he had bought over the past two days, including the fruits left by the production crew when they came to visit.

Looking at the large and small bags hung like a Christmas tree, he remained calm and upright, with a look between his brows like an immortal in the clouds who could not be looked at directly.

Nanzhi was not surprised by his "little tricks".

She refused the hand that Lu Shixu offered her, helped Nan Yi climb onto the tall SUV, then she grabbed the handle and sat in.

When she turned around, her long hair just brushed across the back of Lu Shixu's hand.

Lu Shixu clenched his palms and pressed his fingers together unconsciously.

"gentlemen."

Tao An stretched out his hand.

Lu Shixu handed him the things and got into the car.

When they heard that Nanzhi was about to be discharged from the hospital, the entire program crew was in action!

"Has Boss Nan's room been cleaned?"

"I sorted it out yesterday!"

"No, go clean it up again now."

"I'll go pick some flowers to decorate the place! It will make Boss Nan feel better! Maybe he will get better soon too!"

"What? Fu Chao is cooking? He won't set the house on fire, right? I have to go check it out!"

"Do you want to start a live broadcast? The audience is very eager for it!"

"Let's open it if Boss Nan agrees!"

"…"

At this time, looking around the small courtyard where Fu Chao lived, there was a festive and bustling atmosphere.

As the most spacious and best-environment room among the four groups of guests, everyone agreed to use Fu Chao's yard as the location to welcome Nanzhi out of the hospital.

There were people cleaning, decorating, cooking... and a dedicated atmosphere team!
Standing in the middle of all this excitement, Chang Mu seemed a little out of place.

She took the initiative to step forward, with a friendly smile on her face, and asked one of the staff members:
"Is there anything I can help with?"

This really stumped the other party!
After thinking for a long time, the other party finally stammered:

"How about... help carry something?"

"Of course."

Chang Mu agreed readily.

As soon as I turned around, I cursed the staff member in my heart.

But she heard a staff member say that Nanzhi agreed to the live broadcast, so someone had already started setting up filming equipment in the yard.

So she didn't dare to show any abnormality, and tried her best to maintain her gentle and noble persona of a rich family's daughter, helping to move tables, wipe benches, and sweep the floor...

Just at this moment, the live broadcast camera was turned on.

The large number of audiences that poured in just happened to see the "diligent" Miss Chang Muchang at first sight!

[Huh? The young lady can actually sweep the floor! ]

[Our Mu Mu is really approachable, unlike many rich people! ]

[I heard that Mumu's family is not only rich, but also very well-off! This should be the true upbringing of a wealthy family! ]

[Do you have to be so exaggerated? Can't you find anything to brag about? ]

[Oh my, the young lady actually opens her mouth to eat! How amazing! ]

…

Some people like this kind of character, while others are not interested in it.

Some people simply can't stand it and make sarcastic comments in the comments.

The noise and bustle focused all attention on Chang Mu.

Until someone came out to stop it:

[Stop arguing! I'm here to see Zhizhi! ]

[Where is my baby? He must be heartbroken seeing his mother sick! ]

[After two days in the hospital, Nanzhi's condition must be very serious. The production team should bear 80% of the responsibility! ]

[I feel so bad. Nanzhi must have been exhausted! She cooked at school the day before she got sick! ]

[The damn production team didn't even post a photo. I was so worried that I didn't sleep well for the past two days! ]

[I am dying of laughter. Everyone, go to the kitchen and have a look! Fu Chao is about to burn the house down! ]

…

Today's live broadcast is different from previous ones. It is not divided into individual live broadcast rooms, but is distinguished by the shooting location.

Only Chang Mu and some staff were in the yard.

Fu Chao and the others were either crowded in the kitchen or in the house, and were not in the same live broadcast room as Chang Mu.

So, after someone came out to make a fuss, a large number of netizens flocked to another live broadcast room.

Netizens' concern comes quickly and goes away quickly.

Soon no one paid attention to Chang Mu, and the number of viewers in Chang Mu's live broadcast room plummeted.

Chang Mu was completely unaware of this and was cleaning diligently with the broom in hand.

During this process, she did not forget to fiddle with her hair and adjust the shooting angle to ensure that the audience could see her most beautiful side...

Meanwhile, there was chaos in the kitchen.

Fu Chao accidentally knocked over the basin of flour, making a mess on the table.

He himself was not spared and dyed his hair a fashionable gray color.

Qi Pei'er clenched her fists and became furious:

"I told you I'll do it! Don't you have any clear understanding of your own cooking skills?"

Fu Chao retorted somewhat weakly:
"I just want to contribute..."

Qi Pei'er resisted the urge to continue complaining and started to clean up angrily.

Fu Chao touched his nose awkwardly.

Qing Xi leaned over to Qi Zhang's ear and laughed at him in a low voice:
"My little Shu Su is so stupid!"

Everyone in the kitchen heard it clearly: ...

Fu Chao pretended to turn around:

"Great! How dare you tease me behind my back!"

Qingxi laughed and ran away.

Fu Chao didn't chase after him, and resigned himself to cleaning up the mess he had made.

Because of this incident, they suffered a considerable loss of the flour they had bought with great effort.

Fortunately, Fu Chao was rich and bought a lot, so he didn't lose today's important menu -

dumpling.

Fu Chao insisted on making this dumpling.

And he said confidently that he would complete it himself from start to finish.

I don't know if it was because Nanzhi taught them how to make dumplings last time that they became overconfident.

As for the results…

The messy table in front of me is enough to explain it all.

Fu Chao didn't know that the live broadcast had started, and many viewers were laughing at or making fun of him.

With his determination not to admit defeat, he took out the flour and started again, completely immersed in it, even ignoring the people around him busying around and coming in and out.

Finally, he succeeded in kneading the dough, rolling out the skin, and making a big plate full of dumplings!

Even though half of the dumplings were finished after being cooked, they turned into meat ball noodle soup, and only the other half remained intact and barely presentable.

But it doesn't matter!
This is a huge improvement for Fu Chao!

He temporarily put away the big bowl of meat ball noodle soup and prepared to use it as dinner for the next two days.

Then, Fu Chao came out of the kitchen excitedly carrying two large plates of dumplings:
"Look! I made these dumplings myself..."

A table had been set up in the yard. It was borrowed from the village chief's house. It was a large round table, big enough to seat more than 10 people.

Now, the table is already filled with a wide variety of dishes - braised pork, mushroom chicken soup, sweet and sour spareribs, hot and sour potato shreds, steamed fish...

Fu Chao was stunned:

"Were these…bought?"

"Xie Yu did it!"

Qi Pei'er deliberately raised the volume.

Fu Chao looked down at the two plates of dumplings in his hands, but he didn't feel dejected.

"Just right, we're missing a staple food!"

Fu Chao smiled and placed two plates of dumplings at the center, one on the left and one on the right.

Qi Pei'er curled her lips but did not stop it.

Chang Mu came over at this moment, with just the right amount of surprise showing on her pretty face.

She said in an intimate and slightly teasing tone:

"Did you make these yourself, Fu Chao? The movie star can actually make dumplings?"

Chang Mu thought, although he already had Lu Shixu as his target, it would not be a bad idea to take down Fu Chao, Nanzhi's brother, and make things difficult for Nanzhi, too?

Chapter 216 Clearly the feelings are still there
Fu Chao smiled brilliantly and boasted proudly:
"It was Nanzhi who taught me! At that time, there were also Xie Yu and Qi Pei'er, and I learned it the best!"

Qi Pei'er happened to come over with the dishes.

She first glanced at Chang Mu quickly, and then complained about Fu Chao:
"Zhizhi only praised you, but didn't say you learned the best!"

Fu Chao said that he refused to accept the information.

Qi Pei'er was too lazy to pay attention to him. She looked at the time and muttered:

"I wonder when they will arrive?"

Fu Chao thought of a certain annoying existence, and his smile faded:

"It should be soon."

Qi Pei'er didn't know about this, she was just worried about Nanzhi:
"When I called her this morning, she seemed to be in good spirits, she should be well now."

Fu Chao's attention was immediately drawn to Nanzhi's illness, and he once again complained about the shabby house arranged by the program crew.

Fu Chao and Qi Pei'er's topic was basically focused on Nanzhi, making it impossible for Chang Mu, the latecomer, to interrupt.

She stood alone for a while, barely able to keep her smile going.

Finally, I found an excuse and left for a while.

When she left, she lowered her head dejectedly.

Such a scene could easily be misunderstood as Fu Chao and Qi Pei'er ostracizing her.

In fact, some viewers also noticed this detail.

But the problem is...

Because the live broadcast started very suddenly, Fu Chao and his colleagues did not wear microphones. They only placed a few radio equipment in the yard, so the audience could not hear clearly what they were saying.

In the eyes of the audience, they only saw Fu Chao, Qi Pei'er and Chang Mu standing by the table for a while, and then Chang Mu suddenly turned around and left.

The audience was also puzzled:
[Why did the young lady leave suddenly? Her expression was weird. ]

【You must have been blinded by the wind. 】

[Can you move the microphone closer? I want to hear what Fu Chao and Qi Pei'er are talking about! I can't hear it clearly, okay? ]

[Xie Yu is really a perfect man, handsome, talented, good at making money, and even has perfect cooking skills! How can he not be considered a perfect husband candidate? ]

[Can I buy up all the Nanzhi and Xieyu CP stocks? When I think of all the dishes Xieyu made for Nanzhi, I get so excited that I shake all over, hahaha! ]

[When will Nanzhi come back? Our Xiao Xie is already looking forward to it! ]

…

Qi Peier glanced at Chang Mu's "lonely" back and couldn't help but say to Fu Chao:

"You better be careful and don't get cheated without knowing it."

Fu Chao suddenly understood.

He raised his eyebrows with a smile:
"How do you know I don't know?"

At first it sounds like a tongue twister.

But Qi Pei'er understood.

She looked at Fu Chao with great surprise, remembering how Fu Chao was usually cheerful and innocent.

"…sharp."

Fu Chao didn't answer.

Because a staff member had already run up to them and said that no sound could be heard in the live broadcast and that they needed to put on a microphone.

The two of them tacitly chose to shut up and change the subject.

Not long after, a staff member first spotted the shadow of the off-road vehicle and ran in excitedly:

"Boss Nan is back!"

Immediately afterwards, a black SUV drove along the muddy road after the rain.

Everyone ran over to greet them enthusiastically.

Chang Muluo was at the end of the crowd. When he saw the car, he frowned.

She had a vague bad premonition, but still didn't want to believe it, and subconsciously took two steps forward.

The SUV stopped.

The back door opened, and Nanzhi held the handle and jumped down lightly.

"Be careful!"

Qi Pei'er rushed over to support Nanzhi.

Of course Fu Chao and Xie Yu also wanted to go, but it was inconvenient in front of the camera, so Qi Pei'er was the most suitable.

Qi Pei'er held Nanzhi's arm and pinched it reflexively:
"Ah, you've lost weight again! Haven't you eaten well these past two days?"

As he said this, he wanted to touch Nanzhi's cheek, which had shrunk a lot.

Nanzhi smiled and pushed her hand away:
"Don't exaggerate."

"Mother!"

Nan Yi was calling for his mother, but his eyes were actually fixed on Qi Pei'er's hand.

Qi Pei'er was not surprised by this and even wanted to tease Nan Yi with a smile.

Suddenly, a chill ran up my spine.

Qi Pei'er turned her head subconsciously and met the pair of indifferent, inorganic pupils in the dark carriage.

"hiss."

Qi Pei'er gasped and even got goosebumps instantly!

Of course she knew Lu Shixu, she had just seen him in the ward yesterday.

However, at that time, Lu Shixu was relatively low-key due to Nanzhi.

Unlike now, taking advantage of the fact that Nanzhi's back was facing away and he couldn't see her, his cold and sharp eyes fell on Qi Pei'er's wrist.

Even if Qi Pei'er was blind, she could feel that this man was unhappy.

Nanzhi: "What's wrong?"

When Nanzhi noticed that something was wrong with Qi Pei'er, he was the first person he thought of.

She glanced behind her.

Lu Shixu stayed quietly in the car as she instructed, his eyelashes drooping slightly, the sharpness on his body faded, and he looked quite easy-going.

But Nanzhi knew that he must be acting.

He gave Nan Yi a warning look, then carried him down and slammed the car door.

"fine."

She whispered to comfort Qi Pei'er, then smiled at everyone as if nothing had happened,
"Why are you all out?"

A staff member responded:

"Come and pick you up, Boss Nan!"

This sound made everyone laugh.

Nanzhi opened his eyes wide in surprise:
"It's been so long, and you still call me Boss Nan? Didn't I tell you to change your way of speaking?"

Everyone laughed:

"I'm used to it!"

"Even Director Xu calls him Boss Nan!"

"The Nan Family Restaurant has closed down, so it's not appropriate to continue calling him Boss Nan."

"Then change the name?"

"Sister Zhi?"

"…"

Nanzhi was full of question marks.

In the end, I passively accepted the title "Sister Zhi".

She and Nan Yi were surrounded and walked into Fu Chao's small courtyard.

After they walked away, Lu Shixu lowered the car window and looked at Nanzhi's back from afar.

Seeing her surrounded by so many people, she was smiling.

When she tilted her face upward, the sunlight was shining, outlining her full and delicate profile.

Just like this lush and lovely green hills, it possesses a powerful vitality that he cannot match.

Lu Shixu looked at it steadily for an unknown amount of time.

Tao An couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He felt that his master's eyes were full of pity, and he couldn't help but say:

"How about getting off the car and having dinner together? Their director invited you earlier."

The implication is that even if Miss Nanzhi disagrees, it is reasonable for Lu Shixu to go there.

Lu Shixu didn't even think about it:
"Don't disturb her, let's go."

Anyway, the time is very long.

He also has enough patience to wait.

The car window rolled up, the SUV started, and it gradually went away and disappeared at the end of the country road.

In the dark corner not far away, Chang Mu, who was staring at him from beginning to end, almost broke his teeth!

System, you call this an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend?

It's obvious that the feelings are still lingering!

How to carry out this strategy mission! After the lively dinner, Nanzhi went to the village primary school in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Qi Peier came to pick her and Nan Yi up.

Qi Pei'er: "Be careful! Are you cold? Are you thirsty? Are you tired?"

Qi Zhang: "Aunt Zhizhi, please hold on to me! I'll be your walking stick!"

Nan Yi: "Mom, I'm here!"

Nanzhi, who was subjected to excessive enthusiasm, did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm not that fragile. I'm almost well now."

After finally rejecting them, I came to school and had to accept a new round of care.

Teacher Zhang: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you to help in the cafeteria that day. You must have been tired!"

Teacher Xiaolin: "Teacher Nan, you have lost a lot of weight. Remember to eat more these days to replenish your body!"

Teacher Wu: "I have some herbs that can drive away the cold. I can use them to make tea. Would you mind sharing some with you?"

There were also students who heard that she had returned to school and came to the office to visit her...

The live camera followed the scene, and such a vivid picture naturally touched countless viewers:
[I dare say Nanzhi must be a very good person! Otherwise, so many people wouldn't like her! ]

[That's right, although nothing is absolute, you can probably tell a person's character by looking at the attitude of the people around him towards him! So I believe Nanzhi is definitely a kind and warm person! ]

[Wow, my eyes are wet. The kids really like Nanzhi so innocently! ]

[Secretly pull down someone...]

[Why do you have to bring up the young lady? Is it not possible that some people are born lacking in affinity? Who knows, maybe these teachers and students are just acting? I don't believe that they can have such a deep relationship after only being here for one day! ]

[Ah, yes, yes, they are all extras, okay? You haters have been calling them extras since the first episode until now, aren't you tired of being slapped in the face? ]

[I am dying of laughter. Are our netizens blind? Can't they tell whether it is real or fake? If these kids can perform at this level, I think they can be directly admitted to the Oscars! ]

[The world of children is so pure and beautiful! Watching them laugh and cry, I feel like I have returned to the time before I became a vicious woman...]

…

The audience was moved, not to mention Nanzhi?
Nanzhi blinked, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She scanned the faces within her reach, and a genuine smile appeared on her lips:
"Thank you for your concern, but I'm really fine."

If it were more than a month ago, it might not be certain.

But now, her physical condition is no longer what it used to be.

Although she is not so healthy and strong that she is immune to all diseases, at least her recovery speed is no different from that of ordinary people.

When everyone looked at her expression and saw that she had fair skin, black hair, and a complexion as bright as spring, they knew that Nanzhi was telling the truth, so they left with peace of mind.

Teacher Zhang had too many things to deal with, so he hurried back to the principal's office.

Coincidentally, the bell for the first class in the afternoon rang.

Teacher Kobayashi followed him to the classroom and did not forget to bring Nan Yi and Qi Zhang with him.

Although Nan Yi was reluctant to leave when he turned around and kept waving to his mother, he had made a lot of progress and no longer had any resistance to going to school.

This made Nanzhi wonder, could it be that her illness made him grow up so quickly?

Somehow, I still feel a little sad inside.

Parents are always like this -

I always hope to be needed by my children, but I am also afraid of not being needed by my children.

Nanzhi quickly calmed down and decided to find something else to do.

At this time, Xiaolin, Lao Wu and Qi Pei'er all went to class.

Because Nanzhi was sick, Teacher Zhang thought she would not be back until at least tomorrow, so he did not schedule any classes for her this afternoon.

Nanzhi went to the principal's office specifically to talk to Teacher Zhang about rescheduling the class to the afternoon.

Although it is the principal's office, the room is actually not big and is very simple.

The desk was piled with various books and paper documents, and there was a conference table in the middle.

Therefore, the principal's office occasionally serves as a meeting room, reception room, and other multifunctional functions.

When Nanzhi came over, Teacher Zhang was sitting behind the desk, thinking hard about something.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Teacher Zhang looked up blankly:

"Who... Teacher Nan? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to rest more?"

Nanzhi smiled and said:

"Since I'm sitting here doing nothing, I just want to find something to do."

Her eyes inadvertently fell on the table and she found that there were a lot of information in front of Teacher Zhang.

"Teacher Zhang, what is this?"

Teacher Zhang smiled bitterly:

"In recent years, hasn't the country advocated enriching children's courses and improving their comprehensive literacy? I was thinking of adding an experiential course, such as painting, calligraphy, etc. But our teacher doesn't know much about it, so I wonder if I can find some teaching videos on the Internet..."

No matter what the result is, Teacher Zhang's bitter smile tells it all.

There is no shortage of online teaching courses, but the quality varies greatly.

Moreover, there is a world of difference between having a teacher's assistance and not having one!

Teacher Zhang is already considering whether she should learn for a while first and then teach the children?

At this time, Teacher Zhang thought of Nanzhi in front of him and asked with full expectation:

"Teacher Nan, you are a student at Yan University..."

Nanzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"I?"

Teacher Zhang looked at Nanzhi with anticipation, hoping that she could give a surprising answer.

Unfortunately, although Nanzhi had the experience of traveling to an alien ancient world, she put all her energy into improving her cooking skills.

Calligraphy and painting sound like skills that a time traveler must learn, but in the world of a food anime, they are meaningless.

For Nanzhi, instead of wasting time on this, it would be better to stay in the kitchen for a few more hours, finish the plot line as soon as possible and go home.

Therefore, her calligraphy and painting skills are just above the beginner level and are not at the level suitable for teaching children.

Nanzhi apologized and refused.

Teacher Zhang sighed regretfully.

Nanzhi thought for a moment and asked:
"Have you considered taking any other courses besides calligraphy and painting?"

"Um?"

"Like cooking."

Teacher Zhang's eyes widened in confusion.

"Cooking...making food? Can we have a class on this?"

Nanzhi then told me about a news story she saw online, which said that primary schools in some cities would specifically offer cooking classes or hold cooking competitions in order to implement labor education for children and promote intelligence through labor.

Even kindergartens in southern Italy have similar courses as part of tactile education.

In addition, there are also opportunities to take children to experience pastry making in the form of winter camps or summer camps.

There is no need to come into contact with fire, which can improve children's tasting ability. The daily tasks are basically eating and drinking, which is relatively easy overall. Therefore, this kind of food winter/summer camp is very popular. It is usually impossible to get a number, and parents have to queue up in advance to make an appointment! Chapter 218 What's wrong with being a chef?

"It seems pretty good?"

Teacher Zhang became interested and searched the Internet for it, and found many related news reports.

There are also professional papers involving the education industry that analyze how this type of course can promote children's psychological growth.

The more Teacher Zhang looked at it, the more he felt that there was something to be gained.

But here comes the question:
"The teacher who teaches the cooking class..."

Her eyes involuntarily fell on Nanzhi.

A few days ago, Teacher Zhang would most likely volunteer to do the cooking herself, but now she has realized her true level of cooking skills.

In addition, she also knew that both teachers Xiao Lin and Lao Wu had never done any housework and did not know how to cook at all. They were okay at helping out but it was better for them not to really cook.

After much thought, Teacher Zhang could only think of Nanzhi.

Thinking about the patience and meticulousness Nanzhi showed when she taught her how to cook that day, Teacher Zhang suddenly felt that there was no more suitable candidate than Nanzhi!

Nanzhi nodded decisively:

"Okay! That's what I was planning to do."

Otherwise, why would she propose to open a cooking course?
Teacher Zhang smiled happily.

"Oh, by the way, we have to ask the children for their opinions. After all, it is their class and their own ideas are the most important..."

Teacher Zhang is a pragmatic person and doesn't like formalism.

If the purpose is just to complete the task assigned by superiors, any arrangement of new courses is fine.

The reason why she was troubled for so long was because she hoped that what the children learned would be useful!
Even if it was just a tiny bit!
So, Teacher Zhang was excitedly calculating the end of class time, preparing to notify the three grades as soon as possible, so that the children could vote as soon as possible...

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Nan, your health condition..."

Teacher Zhang did not forget that the person in front of him was a patient who had just returned from the hospital, and hesitated again.

Until Nanzhi repeatedly assured her and said that if she felt unwell, she would stop the class immediately and find someone else to take her place.

Only then did Teacher Zhang feel completely relieved.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Teacher Zhang hurried out of the office.

Nanzhi followed slowly behind, in a happy mood.

Little did they know that their ideas about the new curriculum directly caused a lot of debate online!

The situation is directly divided into two factions:

One group refuted Nanzhi and said:

[Why, are children from the mountains only worthy of learning to be chefs? ]

[I am so angry. Nanzhi's proposal is simply misleading young people! If a child with great talent who may become a scientist in the future is misled by her to become a chef... What a huge loss for the country! ]

[Nanzhi's idea is too unrealistic and totally out of touch with reality! ]

[This is ridiculous. Children from poor families have to grow up early. Which child can't cook? This is just for fun!]

[Rationally speaking, if Nanzhi's proposal is for urban schools, then for contemporary children, cooking courses can make them value food, pay attention to the fruits of their labor, and be considerate of their parents, but is it necessary for children in the mountains? ]

[Hehe, I guess the kids would think this is ridiculous. They cook at home, and now they have to cook at school? ]

[These stars are just praised too highly, and they are so proud that they don't know their own weight! ]

…

There is another group that supports Nanzhi:
[It is always right to learn more. What's wrong with learning cooking? Is learning cooking low-level? ]

[Yes, this is just learning a skill, not really becoming a chef! It doesn't mean that chefs are inferior to scientists. There is no distinction between noble and humble professions... But how do you know that other children can be easily misled? ]

[What's not down-to-earth about this? Many schools are already implementing Nanzhi's proposal. My daughter's school recently held a Little Master Chef competition! As a parent, I fully support it! ]

[Thinking that children from the mountains can cook is really too much of a stretch. Why do children from the mountains know how to cook? You are just stereotyping! ]

[Yes, I was also born in the mountains and never cooked. If I could learn cooking courses when I was a child, I would be very interested. After all, for children, playing is the most important thing! ]

[Some people are too impatient to criticize. The specific content of the course has not yet been released. Nanzhi is not going to train children to the standards of professional chefs. Experience the course! Do you not understand the words? ]

[It's funny to say that Nanzhi is out of touch with reality. She has lived in a shantytown, set up a night market stall, slept in a small attic, and opened a small restaurant... Can you tell me what is out of touch with reality? ]

…

The comments section is full of debate and has a tendency to expand further.

Many professional big names have also joined in, such as some education practitioners, child psychologists, writers, etc.

They also have different opinions, some support and some oppose.

The differences of opinion mainly focus on one point:

Children in cities are different from children in rural areas.

There is a lot of noise on the Internet.

Nanzhi was completely unaware of this.

She returned to the office slowly and got some scented tea.

The scented tea was dried by Teacher Zhang herself. She had given some to her and Qi Pei'er before. It was said to be a benefit for new teachers. The aroma and taste are very good.

Nanzhi was drinking when Teacher Zhang walked in happily:

"Teacher Nan, you are here! During the break, I just asked the children to vote on their ideas for the new curriculum, and they are all very happy!"

"Yeah?"

Nanzhi stood up with a smile, feeling happy.

Afterwards, she and Teacher Zhang took the time to discuss the course content.

The two were concentrating and serious when talking, but they didn't know that the comments were about to explode:
[Look! The kids themselves agreed! ]

[What does a kid know? He probably thought it was a game! ]

[Didn't you say that the child's own opinion is the most important? Now you have changed your rhetoric? ]

[They are only in elementary school. At that time, I would not dare to resist the teacher! The children are all very happy... This is probably Teacher Zhang's unilateral guess! ]

[You guys are so pissed that I am laughing! You guys are the ones saying all the things! Aren't you the ones imposing your ideas on the children now? ]

…

Nanzhi was talking.

Her cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

It's a WeChat message.

They were filming and talking about something, and Nanzhi didn't want to pay any attention to it.

As a result, the phone buzzed twice again.

Teacher Zhang also noticed it:
"How about taking a look? Maybe there's something urgent?"

Nanzhi had no choice but to open it, and saw a message from the program team on the screen, which briefly mentioned the current controversy on the Internet regarding Nanzhi's proposal for a cooking course.

Generally speaking, Xu Lin's shooting style is to minimize the influence of the program crew on the shooting content and restore the most real reactions of the guests.

Now the news has suddenly been released, it seems that there is quite a big uproar online.

Chapter 219: Eat in Season
Nanzhi lowered her eyes and scanned the content of the message, but her emotions did not fluctuate much.

After being forced to become a star for more than a month, Nanzhi gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the entertainment industry.

As a public figure, one's words and actions can easily be magnified, taken out of context, or over-interpreted.

If you don't want to be criticized, it's best to stay within your means.

As the saying goes - do less and make fewer mistakes; do nothing and make fewer mistakes.

Unfortunately, this is not Nanzhi's style.

Therefore, before she proposed the idea to Teacher Zhang, she had already thought that she might be questioned.

It was this questioning that seemed more intense than she had imagined.

Even the production crew, who usually don't interfere with the filming, got angry and broke the rules by sending her a message during the filming?
Nanzhi thought about it and asked Teacher Zhang:

"What do the children think specifically? By referring to their opinions, it will also be convenient for us to adjust the course direction."

Teacher Zhang didn't think too much about it and just picked up a few students' answers:

One student said that she wanted to learn cooking courses because she saw her grandfather was very tired from cooking every day and wanted to help him share the burden;

A student said that although he could cook, his food was not tasty and he hoped to learn from the teacher;

Some students also said that they thought learning how to cook was very useful, and they could give it to their parents as a surprise when they came back from vacation.

Another student said that he didn't have too many ideas, but he just thought the cooking course sounded interesting, and it would be doubly interesting if he could cook at school;

…

The true and unique answers are the best weapons to shut people up.

The questioning voices in the barrage gradually became less.

Except for two or three people who insist on finding fault occasionally, everything else is quiet on the Internet.

The public's focus was quickly replaced by new hot events.

Nanzhi guessed that the matter should have been settled because the program did not send any more messages.

She held the phone in her backhand and continued chatting with Teacher Zhang.

During the whole process, Teacher Zhang didn't notice any clues.

In the afternoon, Nanzhi taught a class and was warmly welcomed in the classroom.

Nanzhi benefited greatly from it.

She did not neglect her responsibilities as an English teacher because of the new curriculum. She continued to work diligently and tried her best to teach the children her knowledge.

At the same time, she also put a lot of effort into the new course. After a day of searching for information and careful thinking, she finally finalized the class content.

The next day came in a flash.

Teacher Zhang scheduled the cooking class in the fourth period in the morning.

This is because she heard from Nanzhi that there would be a lot of food tasting content in the course.

After eating, I'm afraid the students won't want to eat lunch.

So it can't be scheduled too early or too late, the fourth period in the morning is just right.

Early in the morning, after teachers and students arrived one after another, Teacher Zhang couldn't wait to find Nanzhi to ask about her lesson preparation.

Although the specific courses have been discussed by the two of them, the specific class content still depends on the choice of teacher Nanzhi.

So before class, even Teacher Zhang didn't know what exactly he was going to teach.

Chopping vegetables? Making soup? Flipping the pot?

Teacher Zhang was very curious about this, and naturally others were no exception.

In the office, everyone except Teacher Zhang crowded over.

Teacher Wu: "Teacher Nan, I want to listen too."

Teacher Xiaolin: "Please tell us in advance."

Qi Pei'er: "Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else!"

Being stared at by four pairs of eyes, Nanzhi couldn't help laughing.

She packed her things and stood up:
"You will know in a moment."

The cooking class was taken by more than 50 students from the whole school.

With so many students, Nanzhi can't maintain order by herself. Teacher Zhang and others will come to help, so they can naturally hear the lecture content.

Nanzhi wanted to keep the story in suspense, but there was nothing they could do. Everyone, including Teacher Zhang and Qi Pei'er, as well as members of the program crew such as Xu Lin sitting behind the camera, and even the curious audience behind the screen, could only wait patiently.

They counted the seconds as they passed.

finally!

It was time for the fourth class!
Following Nanzhi's instructions, the teachers led the students of the three classes from the classroom to the cafeteria.

There are enough tables and chairs here, and the kitchen is just across a door, so you can get what you want easily. It is the most suitable classroom for cooking courses.

More than 50 students plus teachers may not sound like a lot, but when they really squeeze into the cafeteria, it is still a bit crowded.

Fortunately, Nanzhi had made preparations and had rearranged the tables in a circle in advance, leaving a small open space in the middle.

This vacant lot is the location of Nanzhi Station.

At this time, she stood there in a clear voice, watching the students take their seats one after another, and then she spoke calmly:
"I wonder if you have heard of the phrase 'not eating out of season'. It comes from the Analects of Confucius, Xiangdang, which says 'When you are in Qi, you must change your diet; when you live, you must move your seat. You never tire of fine food, and never tire of delicate minced meat. Eat according to your feelings. Do not eat rotten fish or spoiled meat, do not eat food that looks bad, does not smell bad, does not cook properly, does not eat food that is not in season, does not cut properly, and does not eat food with the right sauce.' Some people say that this is because Confucius is too picky. But this is actually a basic requirement of the ancients for diet, to adapt to the diet and maintain health in accordance with the seasons. The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night alternate, spring brings life, summer grows, autumn harvests, and winter stores. The heaven and the earth do nothing but do everything. This is a state of 'Tao'."

An opening speech full of quotations from classics can be said to be a striking first move that immediately catches everyone's attention!

Many people were surprised. Wasn't it a cooking class? Why was he suddenly talking about Taoism?
They were curious but didn't understand why, so they could only listen patiently.

At this time, Nanzhi asked:

"Do you know the 24 solar terms?"

Many children raised their hands enthusiastically.

Nanzhi glanced around.

She saw Nan Yi, who was arranged in the first row because he was too short. He sat very upright, but he couldn't help clenching his hands on his knees, probably because he was angry that he couldn't answer the questions his mother asked.

Nanzhi smiled quietly, without lingering for too long, but just passing by quickly.

Finally, she picked a girl from the second row.

The girl did not disappoint everyone. She spoke eloquently and recited smoothly from "Lichun" to "Dahan".

Nanzhi nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good answer. The 24 solar terms are the wisdom of our ancestors. Following the solar terms and coordinating diet is an extension of this wisdom. For example, spring belongs to wood, when everything revives and Yang Qi rises, which corresponds to the liver. We should eat more seasonal green vegetables, such as spring leeks, which are more spicy and less sour, to achieve the effect of softening and nourishing the liver, soothing the liver and regulating Qi. In addition, summer belongs to fire, so the diet should be light to nourish the heart; autumn belongs to gold, so the diet should focus on moisturizing dryness, eat more light, moist, sweet and sour foods to nourish the lungs; winter belongs to water, so the diet should focus on warming and nourishing, eat more nutritious foods to nourish Qi and blood." Chapter 220 Biting

Spring Nanzhi spoke eloquently without even a pause, narrating smoothly and naturally.

Not to mention the students, even Teacher Zhang and his friends heard the theory of dieting according to the four seasons and the twenty-four solar terms for the first time, and they all listened with great interest, even more excited than the students!
Not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room, they were all dumbfounded!

[Your cooking class seems different from my cooking class...]

[Meow meow meow? Are cooking classes in schools so advanced now? They actually talk about Chinese medicine from cooking? ]

[The wisdom of our ancestors is that one method can be applied to everything! I find it very interesting! ]

[My daughter's school's cooking class doesn't teach this, otherwise I would have to go and take the class! ]

[Who would have thought that I would be so excited to listen to celebrities talk about health care on the live broadcast of Baby Variety Show! ]

[Is everything Nanzhi said true? Will it mislead the students? ]

【The Chinese medicine professional is here, and what she said is very right! 】

[Nanzhi's knowledge is really very broad. Should we say that she is worthy of being a top student of Yanda University? ]

[Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb me from listening to Teacher Nan's lecture! ]

…

Nanzhi puts forward this theory of "eating in season" mainly to introduce the following:
"As mentioned earlier, we should eat spring chives in spring, which should be more spicy and less sour. In fact, the ancients realized this earlier than we do. In the pre-Qin period, there were grand ceremonies to welcome spring. The "Book of Rites·Monthly Orders" records that on the day of the beginning of spring, the emperor would lead the three dukes, nine ministers, and the princes and officials to worship the spring god Ju Mang, in order to pray for timely wind and rain and a good harvest in the coming year. At this time, a kind of food called Wu Xin Pan appeared. Wu Xin refers to five kinds of vegetables. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" explains that Wu Xin refers to spicy and tender vegetables such as onions, chives, Polygonum, Artemisia, and mustard. It is a must-have food for festivals, just like Tu Su wine. However, as you can tell from the name, these five pungent vegetables will definitely not taste good. Therefore, people who love to eat gradually replaced the vegetables in it. By the Tang and Song dynasties, the Wu Xin Pan evolved into a spring pan, which became increasingly refined, and various vegetables were caged in thin pancakes... Do you feel familiar when you hear this? Yes, this is the origin of spring pancakes. In the Ming Dynasty, people only called it spring pancakes, and no longer called it spring pancakes."

[I see! Teacher Nan, I understand! ]

[We still have the custom of eating radishes in our home! ]

[The ancients were so poetic and romantic that they actually described chewing dry radish as chewing spring? ]

[The runbing we eat in southern Fujian seems to have evolved from spring pancakes. There is an old shop near my home that has superb craftsmanship. They beat flour and water into a soft dough, hang it on their hands, and roll it around the hot pot. Then a pancake is ready! After returning home, they cut carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, dried tofu, etc. into shreds, add bean sprouts, chopped celery, coriander and other auxiliary ingredients, and occasionally add peanut powder and powdered sugar for seasoning. It is especially delicious! ]

[This recipe sounds familiar. Wasn't the peanut ice cream roll from the Wanwan Night Market very popular on social media a while ago? It seems to be made in the same way as the Minnan Runbing. The crust is sprinkled with ice cream, peanut powder and coriander. It tastes amazing! ]

[What? Ice cream with coriander? What heresy! ]

[We also have spring rolls in Sichuan. We add shredded potatoes, carrots, and kelp, mix with chili oil, and pour some sweet vinegar when eating... Oh, I can't take it anymore, I'm drooling, I'm going downstairs to buy spring rolls immediately! ]

[Nanzhi and his friends are in our province. Don't you have silk dumplings in your province? They are small, but they contain more than a dozen side dishes, and are served with their own spicy, sour and fresh dipping sauce. In one word, absolutely delicious!]

[Okay, okay, you're showing off here, right? Be careful not to piss me off, I'll immediately...buy a plane ticket to go to your hometown to eat! But humbly ask where should I buy a flight to first? ]

[Hahaha, our country is vast and rich in resources, and the food is also different, so how can it be ranked first? ]

[No matter what, I want to eat the spring rolls made by Nanzhi the most! ]

…

The audience was discussing the topic in the comments section, and the enthusiasm for discussion was unprecedentedly high!
In major search engines, searches for keywords such as "spring pancakes", "biting spring", and "ancient spring customs" also skyrocketed by hundreds or thousands of times.

Who would have thought that Nanzhi not only taught a lesson to the children in the village school, but also taught a lesson to countless viewers through the Internet?
This directly promoted the exchange of food from all over the country and stimulated the desire of netizens to discuss food.

Later, even major official accounts joined the PK and stood up for the spring delicacies of their hometowns.

Of course, this is a story for later.

Now, after Nanzhi had finished explaining the knowledge of tracing the roots, he began to practice it.

Yesterday, Teacher Zhang temporarily allocated her some funds for teaching. Nanzhi took the money, took a bus to a nearby town, and bought some necessary ingredients and utensils, which she can use now.

Nanzhi took the lead in demonstrating—

Spring rolls have a long history in the history of food. After being developed in different places, different ways of eating them have evolved.

Some are as big as a tea tray, while others are no smaller than the palm of your hand.

However, the universal standard is that the spring rolls should be as thin as a cicada's wing, delicate and soft.

There are different ways to make spring pancakes, including steaming, baking, frying...

Nanzhi mainly uses the first two methods. She first kneads flour and water into dough, pinches it into pieces, rolls it into small pancakes, brushes oil in the middle, then folds them together and rolls them into a thin layer, almost translucent. She then steams them in a bamboo basket, and soon the dough is cooked. Gently peeling it off reveals a spring pancake skin as thin as rice paper.

In addition, Nanzhi also uses the baking method, which is to prepare a batter with appropriate moisture and spread it on a frying pan. This requires skills and patience. If you don't grasp the degree, it is easy to make the spring pancake too thick and it will not taste good.

Because the latter is more difficult, Nanzhi only demonstrates it and mainly lets the students choose whether to steam or bake it when they practice it themselves.

Next, it was the students' turn.

It was impossible for all the more than 50 students to be assigned a pot and stove, so Nanzhi simply let all the students form groups and take turns.

The children were all very sensible and everything was in good order. There was none of the chaos and disorder that some people had imagined.

Nanzhi shuttled back and forth among the students, occasionally giving hands-on guidance.

She found that most students chose steaming because it was simpler and the dough was softer.

Only a small number of students chose pancakes, showing their fearlessness and courage to challenge.

Nanzhi looked over and saw a small figure among the small figures making spring pancakes.

It's Southern Italy.

His angle was just right with his back to her.

Nanzhi didn't need to go around to the front to imagine Nanyi's current expression. He must be gritting his teeth and looking fierce and refusing to admit defeat.
