Chapter 40: Chapter 39: We Came to Pick You Up

“Alright, parents and little friends, look over here, we’re about to announce the first task!” Yang Yingying clapped her hands, signaling everyone to look at her.

“What is it?” Zhu Wenzhen was the first to ask.

“It’s also a competition related to our house! Our little friends need to find the characters they just mentioned, say hello to them, and take a photo. Whoever wins will get first place.” Yang Yingying handed them five maps. “They’re marked, and there are some animated characters inside.”

Everyone took one in turn.

Chu Xijin immediately spotted his Sun Wukong, but when he saw his sister looking at the map in confusion, he told her, “The Sweetheart Princess and Little Magic Fairy you like are here, very close to each other, and they’re both pink, but it’s a bit far, we’ll need some tools to get there.”

“Xiao Jin, are you taking care of your sister?” Xiong Zunxiang asked, because the Big Ear TuTu he wanted was deep inside, and he didn’t want to be last.

“Sure, I’ll take care of her, you go ahead.” Chu Xijin took his sister’s hand and gently asked, “Can you run? Let’s run and see if there’s a car nearby.”

“I can do it!” Lin Yuxian nodded.

The little puffs on top of her head bounced with her motions, really incredibly cute, Chu Xijin chuckled and ran with her.

Mao Xiaomiao took out a skateboard and asked Yang Yingying, “Director, you didn’t mention that we can’t use tools, so can we use this?”

“Yes, you can!” Yang Yingying had included the possibility of seeking help in the rules.

She looked quite impressive on the skateboard.

So cool!

[Oh wow, Mao Xiaomiao is so cool!]

[Really, how can you be attracted to a little girl like this? But she’s so cool, with that fringe, she just exudes an androgynous beauty, not to mention her sharp and crisp skateboarding style!]

[Xiao Miao, I love you!!!]

…

Mao Xiaomiao attracted a lot of attention with her skateboard.

Meanwhile, Xiong Zunxiang found himself lost and garnered laughs from many amused brothers and sisters with his cries. He was lost and couldn’t find his way, continuously calling out, “TuTu, TuTu, sob, sob, I can’t find you.”

People really didn’t want to laugh.

But they just couldn’t help it!

He was already chubby, and when he ran, his body wobbled, combined with his cries of despair, everyone could only laugh themselves silly in front of the screen.

Zhu Wenzhen was closest to Pig Hero.

Not far from the amusement park, he took a trip to Fairytale World and returned very quickly.

And as Chu Xijin ran with Lin Yuxian, who was wearing a princess dress, everyone couldn’t help but compare it to an idol drama.

[They are still young, no shipping allowed.]

[But they really look good together, who understands!]

[Lin Yuxian really trusts Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin is so nice, taking on the task with his sister first.]

…

Chu Xijin simply thought his sister couldn’t read, and that’s why he was helping her. Moreover, he had already found a park buggy, immediately pointing out their destination to the driver and remembering to say thank you.

After sitting down, Chu Xijin noticed Lin Yuxian was out of breath and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. “Sis, you need to exercise a little more, otherwise you’ll end up like my little aunt, getting tired after just a bit of walking.”

[Mu Ran: Don’t drag me in.]

[Ahhh, he gave Lin Yuxian a handkerchief again, who understands this family!]

[Sisters above, calm down, you’re blocking my shipping vibes.]

…

Lin Yuxian blinked her big watery eyes and curiously asked, “Sister Xiao Ran doesn’t like exercising either?”

“Yes.”

“Wow, we really have a special connection.” Lin Yuxian laughed, her cute little face lighting up with a smile that could sweeten anyone’s heart.

Chu Xijin’s expression was one of speechlessness.

Lin Yuxian then told Chu Xijin, “Brother Xiao Jin, I called you several times, but you didn’t pick up. Why not?”

“I was studying at that time, I didn’t have time, sorry.” Chu Xijin didn’t like to give up studying for leisure.

“Oh.” Lin Yuxian lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers, a bit disappointed, then she said, “Everyone seems so busy, Sister Xiao Miao, Brother Wenwen, and Brother Xiangxiang all have things to do, while I seem to have nothing going on.”

“Because you’re still young.” Chu Xijin comforted her, “You just need to be happy now.”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“Will I be dumb when I grow up?”

“No, you’re very smart!”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

Chu Xijin nodded earnestly.

Lin Yuxian immediately jumped with joy, boasting to the camera, “Mom and Dad, did you hear that? Brother Xiao Jin said I’m very smart.”

[Who could not ship this?]

[Xiao Jin, why are you nodding so seriously?]

[Mr. and Mrs. Lin: Can’t bear to watch!]

…

Quickly, Lin Yuxian and Chu Xijin took photos with their favorite animated characters, though Lin Yuxian still lingered, she liked so many characters in Little Magic Fairy and Sweetheart Princess.

“There’ll be time to see them later, let’s go now, or there won’t be any good houses left,” reminded Chu Xijin.

“Alright.” Lin Yuxian groaned.

But even after they got back, Xiong Zunxiang was nowhere to be seen.

Xiong Guobing looked increasingly displeased. Wasn’t his son always coming in last?

What was the production team doing?

That previous incident of fighting for a house was one thing, but now they sent his son to the farthest place, and even after so long, he hadn’t come back.

The production team also arranged for staff to guide Xiong Zunxiang to complete his task, but after finishing the task, Xiong Zunxiang felt he was likely last and didn’t want to return to the gate: “Uncle, my dad will scold me, can I not go back?”

“No, he won’t. You got lost this time, and that’s why it took so long, and you did great! You had the hardest task and you completed it, we’re all proud just watching you.”

“Yeah, absolutely.”

Other staff also chimed in.

However, Xiong Zunxiang still clung to the cameraman’s leg, “But what if my dad scolds me?”

“This…”

The cameraman didn’t know how to respond either.

Xiong Zunxiang suddenly burst into tears, “I always come in last, my dad will definitely be disappointed, I’m really terrible!”

[What kind of mindset is Xiong Guobing instilling in his child?]

[I’ve been watching Xiong Zunxiang, I feel he’s trying so hard, he almost fell apart knowing he got lost, even though I laughed loudly earlier, now I really feel sorry for him.]

[He’s chubby, ran the furthest, without using any tools, really gave it his all just hoping not to disappoint his dad, but in the end, it seems like he did, and he seems so disappointed too.]

…

“Brother Xiangxiang, we’re here to pick you up!”

Chu Xijin waved to Xiong Zunxiang with the children, his smile warm and bright, under the dazzling sun, shining like a golden light.
