Chapter 35 part 1
In the evening, Tang Yue arrived at his second stop.
The livestream finally split the screen. After watching Liu Xicháo help Granny Hu dry seaweed for the entire afternoon, the viewers were finally excited.
The production team hadn’t planned to show the audience a panoramic view of the destination when Liu Xicháo arrived.
At this moment, the background music started, with the post-production adding dynamic effects and expressions, creating a sense of a long-awaited reunion.
Unfortunately, the guests didn’t cooperate. The first to open the door wasn’t Tang Yue, but Yao Lixin.
Liu Xicháo turned to leave.
「Hilarious, this group pairs those who are unfamiliar and those who are very familiar, right?」
「Before, I thought the name Tang Mian was inappropriate, but seeing that this child didn’t even wake up, he seems to be a very good sleeper.」
「What kind of place is this? It looks like a fishing village!」
「OMG, it’s my hometown. It’s not a fishing village, I can already imagine where they’re going next.」
Yao Lixin called out: “So impolite?”
Liu Xicháo: “I’m being polite.”
He had a very gentle-looking face, his hair dyed light brown, his eye color also light. When he smiled, it seemed to have a soft glow.
Liu Xicháo readily came back, looking like he wanted to hug Yao Lixin.
Just then, Tang Yue came in leading Tang Mian. Liu Xicháo’s hug took a turn, and he fiercely hugged Tang Yue.
Tang Yue was startled.
Yao Lixin gave a sound, shaking his hand: “You’re too cruel.”
「Tang Yue, forever the group’s darling.」
「Damn it, seeing Liu Xicháo reminds me of the CP I shipped wrong!! Since the production team can make it into a group variety show, why don’t they just have the family members come too.」
「I still haven’t seen a high-definition photo of the boss of Chengkong Media. I just feel that he’s very old, why?! Liu Xicháo and Jiang Shulu don’t have chemistry, there’s no need…」
「The Jiang family is…emm… but their genes are… there seems to be no ugly person, maybe they’ve all been relying on their looks to find partners since their ancestors.」
「Jiang Shulu and Jiang He are uncle and nephew, right? I want to see them in the same frame. And why don’t we call Yao Lixin’s wife? That would be a real team-building event.」
Liu Xicháo was about the same height as Tang Yue, but judging by his build, Tang Yue was thinner. The rest of them at least exercised regularly.
Tang Yue was naturally thin. Now, Liu Xicháo hugged him and sighed, then pinched Tang Yue’s chin: “Why are you even thinner than before?”
Liu Xicháo was still the Liu Xicháo in Tang Yue’s impression, very much in line with the likeable male image written in the original novel.
He knew which angles made him look good and also knew how to cultivate his image.
However, Tang Yue thought Liu Xicháo’s target was Jiang Shulu, but he didn’t expect that all his attention was on Jiang He.
Tang Yue: “It’s alright.”
He smiled at Liu Xicháo, inevitably thinking of the relationship he stubbornly believed existed between Liu Xicháo and Jiang Shulu, feeling a little embarrassed.
But Liu Xicháo had already bent down to look at the little boy Tang Yue was holding.
Tang Mian looked up at the man bending down to look at him and called out a loud “Uncle Liu.”
The big and small ones were wearing the same clothes. If it weren’t for their hairstyles, they would look like they were scaled-down versions of each other.
Tang Yue already looked like a figurine, and with Tang Mian, it was like comparing a normal-sized figurine with a Q-version one, making people instinctively want to touch them.
Liu Xicháo: “Hello, Xiao Mian.”
He asked: “Can I pinch your face?”
Liu Xicháo didn’t ask before pinching Tang Yue’s face, but this time he was polite, causing Yao Lixin to cough, about to cause trouble: “Why are you so casual with our Tang Yue?”
Liu Xicháo: “Because we’re close. Do you see me pinching you?”
After saying that, both of them felt disgusted and sighed together.
「Did anyone ship these two back then?」
「Why did I think this kind of interaction was… wuwuwu, such a waste.」
「The revelation of this era’s tear-jerking boy band CP after five years is really cruel.」
Tang Mian smiled at Liu Xicháo and stretched out his hand: “Uncle hug.”
It was difficult for anyone to resist this type of human cub’s request, and Liu Xicháo readily agreed, taking the child away.
He also exclaimed: “Xiao Mian is so cute, why do you have curly hair?”
“Our Captain also has naturally curly hair, but he straightened it.”
Tang Mian: “Really? Uncle Yao said so too.”
But Jiang Shulu hadn’t arrived yet. Tang Mian sighed: “I’ll ask Uncle Jiang when he comes how it feels to straighten his hair, I also want straight hair.”
Liu Xicháo said “Oh”: “He’s very good at using a hair straightener, but you’re still young, it might damage your hair.”
He also touched Tang Mian’s hair and exclaimed again: “Xiao Mian’s mouth is exactly the same as Tang Yue’s.”
Tang Yue’s alarm bells rang.
Before he could interject, he heard Liu Xicháo say with a smile: “It’s like the AI-generated child that fans made before.”
「I’m dying laughing hahahahaha」
「Damn! So you guys all know what the fans do every day! Idols should not pay too much attention to fans!! Stay away from fans ah ah ah!」
「Many composite child photos were made in that building back then, I remember that the composite photo of Jiang Shulu and Tang Yue was said to be unattractive by many people.」
「AI doesn’t understand, man’s calculations are no match for heaven’s arrangements.」
「Tang Yue, just accept your fate, this is really hard to explain.」
「It feels like the child’s mother is either Jiang Shulu or a Jiang family member…」
「I’m already imagining Tang Yue and Jiang Shulu really being together, which means three people in this group are family, and they might even have dinner together during the New Year.」
「Close relatives! Excellent!」
