Please Like Her 04 – “Don’t listen, it’s not your fault.”
Menmian (face), Mimian (rice noodles).
Ye Lu’s expression became more complicated, and for a moment, he didn’t know whether to be angry or to laugh.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter.
Ye Lu directly said loudly, “No rice noodles! None! No crying allowed.”
Fatty looked at Ye Lu with teary eyes but started crying even louder the next second. Obviously, this approach didn’t work on Ye Lu at all.
In the end, it was Jiang Jing who comforted Fatty, telling him that weight and appearance weren’t that important. His older brothers were concerned about his health, but also—
It was of no use.
Fatty seemed to have sunk into his own world, feeling very sad.
And his crying was contagious, perhaps scaring Miaomiao, as the little girl dropped her spoon into her bowl, her eyes turning red as tears welled up.
Miaomiao’s crying seemed to encourage Fatty, who cried even louder.
Clearly, in this situation, crying in front of Fatty and Miaomiao wouldn’t help. The former would probably become more stubborn, and the latter would become even more scared, both of them crying louder and louder.
Xiao Mi covered her ears with her hands, her face showing annoyance, and looked at Fatty. “What’s the use of crying? You should roll on the ground and tell them that if they don’t agree to your request, you won’t eat anything and starve yourself.”
“Huh?” Fatty looked at Xiao Mi in confusion, seizing on the key words in her words. “Not eat anything? Starve? Oh, I don’t want to starve…”
Xiao Mi said, “Then you should start rolling on the ground.”
Fatty actually did it, lying on the ground and rolling a few times before becoming exhausted. “How long do I have to roll? I’m tired…”
[Xiao Mi is so skilled at this, it reminds me of how I used to be like that when I was a child. It’s suddenly a bit embarrassing.]
[Why are there people who are so unhelpful? Haha, naughty kids are advising naughty kids.]
[But Fatty just wants to eat, he won’t go on a hunger strike, haha.]
Fatty lay on the ground, while everyone else remained in their seats. Shang Lu and Jiang Jing were silent together.
Shang Lu looked at Xiao Mi and asked, “Do you have younger siblings at home?”
“There’s a younger brother,” Xiao Mi said, turning her head, evidently not intending to discuss it further with Shang Lu.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jing wanted to go and comfort Fatty, but Shang Lu held her wrist and said, “Miaomiao needs you too. If he wants to lie down, let him keep lying down.”
Jiang Jing hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to listen to Shang Lu and returned to her seat to comfort Miaomiao.
At the dinner table, the twins sat together.
The younger brother looked over curiously and tried to get up, but the older brother immediately held his shoulder to make him sit down and continue eating noodles.
Momo sat beside Song Zeqian, nibbling on her chopsticks and watching the commotion.
The adults couldn’t persuade or didn’t want to persuade the children, and it was already good enough if the children didn’t cry along with Fatty, so there was no one to calm Fatty down.
So Fatty struggled on the floor again, crying even louder.
Just when the situation seemed to be at a standstill, Xu Ze’s voice suddenly rang out: “Anyone who keeps crying won’t have dinner.”
In an instant, in order to have dinner, Fatty quickly reached out and covered his mouth, trying to stop his crying, and he nearly choked.
But even so, he quickly quieted down and then got up from the floor.
Everyone : “!”
Amazing, truly amazing.
Crying again means no dinner! Xu Ze had a firm grip on Fatty.
[Xu Ze : With one sentence, I made Fatty stop crying. I am a master of human psychology.]
[Hahaha, Xu Ze really doesn’t spoil Fatty at all, directly targeting what he fears the most.]
[Even the most cry-prone troublemaker will stay quiet when faced with a stern parent.]
Because Fatty quieted down, Miaomiao, who was a well-behaved child, also stopped crying and fussing shortly thereafter.
Xu Ze took Fatty to wash his hands which got quite dirty while rolling on the ground.
Ye Lu tapped his ears on both sides and complained, “Finally, it stopped. My eardrums hurt.”
Shang Lu glanced at Ye Lu and teased, “Isn’t this your own doing?”
Ye Lu pouted but knew he couldn’t argue back.
Who would have thought that such a big kid would cry over something so small?
Well, if he can’t handle the kid, he could just avoid the kid.
With these thoughts, Ye Lu looked at the child he was responsible for, Xiao Le, and felt even more satisfied in comparison.
It seemed that although this child was a bit restless, having his older brother to help take care of him meant Ye Lu didn’t need to worry at all. It was really easy.
When everyone finished eating, the program team announced a new rule.
After the recording of this episode was over, each child would give a score to the guest who was responsible for them. The maximum score was ten points, and the guest with the highest score would become the captain for the next recording and will receive a reward from the program team. The captain for the next episode would enjoy certain privileges.
Everyone understood, and after washing the kitchen tableware, they welcomed the next task.
The second task of the day was to attend a parent-teacher conference on behalf of the children’s parents.
Song Zeqian asked directly, “Little Fatty and Momo are the same age, right?”
Fatty corrected with a hint of grievance, “I’m Fatty, not Little Fatty.”
Song Zeqian waved his hand, looking indifferent, “It’s all the same.”
After speaking, he glanced at Fatty with his usual cold expression, which was enough to intimidate a child.
So, Fatty remained silent, feeling wronged.
The staff informed them that Miaomiao was not yet of school age. Education here was not very developed, so, Fatty, Momo, and the twin brothers who were one year older were all in the same class.
In other words, Jiang Jing didn’t need to attend the parent-teacher conference; she just needed to take care of Miaomiao at home.
Shang Lu went to Xiao Mi’s class alone, while the other four guests went to the same class.
Before departure, the program team gave each of them the report cards of the children they were responsible for.
The higher grade parent-teacher meeting was scheduled to start half an hour early, so Shang Lu and Xiao Mi set off for the school first, as arranged by the program team.
It takes half an hour to walk to the elementary school, and it would be boring to walk in silence the whole way.
So Shang Lu took out a piece of candy and a packet of spicy snacks from her pocket and asked Xiao Mi, “Candy or spicy snacks, which one do you want?”
In theory, these should have been handed over to the program team, but at that time, the program team was afraid that Shang Lu and Lin Yanyan would continue to cry, so they turned a blind eye to these snacks they had snatched from the village’s elementary school students.
Xiao Mi didn’t even glance at the snacks and replied directly, “I don’t want either.”
Shang Lu nodded and asked again, “How about chewing gum and popping candy?”
“No,” Xiao Mi’s answer remained unchanged. As she finished speaking, her lips touched the candy.
Shang Lu held up a lollipop and said in a playful manner, “Oops, my bad. Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble you to help me eat it.”
Xiao Mi’s gaze fell on the candy in front of her. She didn’t say anything and after a brief pause, she reached out and took it.
The girl walked faster while sucking on the candy, and it was hard to tell her mood.
In the live chat, some viewers criticized Shang Lu.
[Isn’t Shang Lu being rude? She clearly said she didn’t want it.]
Immediately, attentive netizens came to explain the reason.
[As someone who had God’s Eye perspective by watching two different livestreams, I tell you that it was because before dinner, Lin Yanyan gave the kids some candy, and at that time, Xiao Mi wanted the orange-flavored one, but there was only one and Momo took it first, and later Xiao Mi didn’t ask for it anymore. After Lin Yanyan and Shang Lu talked about this, Shang Lu went to find Ye Lu, and luckily Ye Lu still had one orange-flavored one left.]
[Hahaha, I can vouch for that! Ye Lu, the shady boss, immediately raised the price and made Shang Lu exchange two lychee-flavored ones for his one orange-flavored hahaha.]
[Don’t worry, Xiao Mi likes it, it seems like the little girl was just a bit shy.]
[Cool girl X Sweet girl? I’m getting vibes (joking).]
[Sweet girl? Thinking back to all of Shang Lu’s past performances in the first seven episodes, a passerby fell into contemplation.]
[Saying Shang Lu is sweet, I bet Ye Lu is the first one not to agree, hahaha.]
[Shang Lu’s personality varies depending on the person! I suggest everyone watch her interact with fans; she’s so sweet and friendly when talking to fans that I feel like I’ve become a Mom without any pain!
[Investing in Shang Lu, no matter what type of celebrity you like, she can satisfy you all by herself. She may act a bit arrogant at times, but she becomes obedient when facing fans. Aww, she’s my precious baby.]
[She seems a bit cute now. It feels like she really likes Xiao Mi, doesn’t it? It’s the first time I’ve seen Shang Lu be so attentive to someone.]
maybe she sees herself in xiao mi….
Yeah I remember she wrote in her diary that she’ll talk to the ants instead after her brother disappointed her for the n-th time
