Chapter 518 You Obviously Miss Me More

After helping Du Yunkai brush Cha Cha's teeth, Xu Qingsong went straight to the bathroom. After washing up, he returned to the bedroom and took out his mobile phone to video call Liu Wangxue.

He really wanted to say a lot to Liu Wangxue, especially to ask how Liu Wangxue was doing outside these days, whether her work was going well, whether she had encountered any interesting or annoying things, and mainly to know what had happened to her in the past two days in Hai City.

During the days when Liu Wangxue was away, the two of them had contact, but they each had their own work, so they could only chat at mealtimes. They would share something with each other and reply when they were free. The interviews and variety shows recorded in Nanshi were not finished until around 10 or 11 pm. When she returned to the hotel to pack up, it was almost midnight. They would ask each other to go to bed after just a few words.

Anyway, tomorrow is a day off and Xu Qingsong doesn't have to go to work. Liu Wangxue and he thought tacitly that at worst they would give up their morning run and just chat on the video until they were too sleepy to go to sleep.

Neither of them had been to Nanshi before. Liu Wangxue was short on time, so she went to have breakfast with Ni Jia, Lou Rui and others that morning, and then strolled along the old street. She also shared photos with Xu Qingsong at the time, and the two planned to find time to go there and have a good time in the future.

Liu Wangxue told Xu Qingsong about her experience in Nanshi in detail, and then talked about her feelings about recording the show and her impression of the host: "Wow, dear, let me tell you, that Ning Jianbing, he really has charisma! What we usually see on the show is just the 'tip of the iceberg'. No wonder they say he is so popular in the circle, he is really super nice in person..." Many words of praise are omitted here.

Liu Wangxue then sighed, "My dad is really good at judging people. Apart from the hosts on the national TV station, his favorite is Ning Jianbing. Didn't Ning Jianbing publish a book some time ago? I bought it specially. After the show, I asked him to write a "To" for my dad. I just gave the book to my dad and he was so happy."

Xu Qingsong listened patiently and negotiated with her: "Baby, can you please not praise other men in front of your boyfriend?" He added: "It's not that you can't praise, but can you be more subtle and not praise so much."

Liu Wangxue rolled up the quilt and held it in her arms. She lowered her head slightly, her chin sunk in, and smiled at Xu Qingsong on the phone screen. She asked knowingly, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Xu Qingsong was also sitting on the bed, and immediately said, "Of course!"

Liu Wangxue was still smiling, and the camera on her phone was shaking: "Why should I be jealous? He is the same age as my dad! Besides, he is a man of both virtue and talent, so it's not excessive for me to praise him."

Xu Qingsong taught her: "Honey, you shouldn't reason with a jealous man. The only thing you have to do at this time is to coax him. Coax him. Do you understand?"

"Okay, hahaha..." Liu Wangxue agreed, and then output a long string of words like "You are my favorite", "You are the most charming in my heart", "As long as you appear in front of me, I won't even look at other men, my heart and eyes are full of you", "Even if you are not by my side, you occupy all my mind", etc., which made Xu Qingsong very happy.

"By the way, I also bought something." Liu Wangxue said as he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the open suitcase, and reached in to rummage inside.

She was supposed to clean up after taking a shower, but Xu Qingsong called her on video, so she just took out the dirty clothes and threw them into the washing machine. She wanted to wait until tomorrow to clean up the remaining small things.

"What is it?" Xu Qingsong asked.

"Found it." Liu Wangxue took the things and returned to the bed, sitting cross-legged. She turned the camera to the rear position and showed it to Xu Qingsong, "A pair of phone cases."

Xu Qingsong took a look and asked in surprise, "Did you order it?"

"No," Liu Wangxue said, "I was strolling in the old street after breakfast that day and passed by a creative hand-painted shop. I spotted it at first sight."

What a coincidence.

The hand-painted shop has a wide variety of products. Just these hand-painted phone cases fill up an entire shelf, and it's hard to choose. Liu Wangxue happened to walk over and spotted these two cartoon patterns at a glance, because the poses of the couple in these two pictures are very similar to the poses she and Xu Qingsong took when they took photos by the music fountain in the hot spring resort on New Year's Eve.

In one picture, she is standing behind Xu Qingsong, two or three steps higher than him, with her arms on his shoulders and her face close to his ear; in the other picture, Xu Qingsong is hugging her, holding up his phone, and she is stretching out her hand to reach it. Both of these hand-drawn pictures depict the characters' expressions very delicately and vividly, and the warm atmosphere and sweet bubbles seem to be about to overflow.

When Ni Jia and Lou Rui saw her standing in front of a shelf full of mobile phone cases, they came over curiously and saw what she was looking at.

Ni Jia was a little excited: "Sister Xuxu, isn't this..."

Liu Wangxue immediately raised her hand: "Shhh..."

Ni Jia immediately lowered his voice: "Isn't this the picture taken by that little internet celebrity during his live broadcast? It's a pretty good painting."

Liu Wangxue took a closer look and found that the two phone cases corresponded to her and Xu Qingsong's phone models respectively, so she took them down and went to the counter to pay.

Before leaving, Lou Rui whispered to her, "Sister Xuxu, does this count as an infringement of your and Brother Qingsong's portrait rights? He's also using it to make a profit."

Liu Wangxue put the phone case next to her face and asked Lou Rui: "How is it similar?"

Lou Rui said: "How can this be similar?"

"That's right." Liu Wangxue smiled. And the background wasn't the resort's musical fountain. This kind of pose is probably something that all couples in the world have when they are together. How could this infringe on the right of portrait?

After listening to Liu Wangxue, Xu Qingsong said shamelessly: "I don't think this is a coincidence. It's because God couldn't bear to see you leave me alone at home, so he gave you this pair of phone cases so that you can think of me all the time."

Liu Wangxue laughed: "Mr. Xu, I discovered another trait of yours. You are really narcissistic~"

"It's not narcissism," Xu Qingsong denied, saying, "I call it self-confidence, the confidence in the relationship between you and me. Look, the heavens are helping us, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Liu Wangxue nodded, "You are right!"

Xu Qingsong said happily: "Then you change it first, and remember to give it to me tomorrow."

"Okay." Liu Wangxue changed the phone case. The camera shook for a while and then stabilized. The two continued chatting.

Liu Wangxue told Xu Qingsong what happened during the recording in Hai City. When she talked about what happened in "Drama with Material", she really acted like a spoiled child, and then said: "So when I went to your place to get the suitcase, I really wanted to hug you. It's all because of that big bulb Du Yunkai."

After hearing this, Xu Qingsong really regretted not insisting on going with her. Although there was probably limited things he could do at the time, at least he could give her a hug to comfort her, make her feel better, and resolve those bad emotions on the spot.

It’s not too late to comfort him now, but Liu Wangxue felt uncomfortable after listening to Xu Qingsong’s words. She just wanted a hug, and she didn’t get enough hugs when she went to get the suitcase.

However, Xu Qingsong's words amused her again. After Xu Qingsong finished comforting her, he changed the subject: "You are right. It's all Du Yunkai's fault. But if you think about it from another angle, Du Yunkai is probably the touchstone of our relationship. You see, when he shines this light bulb, you obviously miss me more, right?"

He said the following sentence very softly and gently, and the atmosphere between the two of them became sticky even through the screen. Just as Liu Wangxue was about to speak, she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

There was a knock on Xu Qingsong's bedroom door, and then Du Yunkai's voice came: "Old Xu, why is your water dispenser not producing hot water? Cha Cha has woken up and wants to drink water, come out and see what's wrong with the water dispenser."

Liu Wangxue saw Xu Qingsong's expression change instantly on the screen, and leaned against the head of the bed, laughing so hard that she hit the bed.

The next morning, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong, who had chatted until the early morning and planned to give up their morning jog, still failed to sleep in and were woken up by their biological clocks.

Chacha had a good sleep and got up early with Du Yunkai. She was very enthusiastic about going for a morning run with Aunt Liu, Uncle Xu, and the three kids. However, when they all washed up, Xu Qingsong's bedroom door still didn't open. Chacha asked Du Yunkai: "Uncle, why hasn't Uncle Xu gotten up yet?"

Du Yunkai took Cha Cha back to the bedroom to change clothes and said, "He slept late last night and probably can't get up. Let's not disturb him. Uncle will take you out for a morning run later, okay?"

"Okay then," Cha Cha nodded and reminded Du Yunkai, "We have to go find Gua Gua first."

Xu Qingsong was already awake, but still a little sleepy. He kept closing his eyes to wake himself up, planning to take a nap if he failed. However, he didn't fall asleep after lying down for a while, so he simply got up and put on his clothes.

As soon as he opened the bedroom door, Cha Cha ran out from the opposite side. When she saw Xu Qingsong, she smiled brightly, stopped in front of him and looked up at him: "Uncle Xu, let's go jogging together!"

Xu Qingsong touched his head: "Okay, wait for me."

Cha Cha ran back to the bedroom to call Du Yunkai.

The two adults took the children out of the yard and saw Pengpeng running out first, then Guagua flying out, and finally Liu Wangxue holding Xiaoci.

After coming back from the morning run, we all had breakfast at Liu Wangxue's house.

Liu Nanshan didn't make breakfast anymore. Gu Xuehui felt that there were so many people and it would be tiring to make enough for so many people, so he called Song Ningwei and the two of them rode their electric bikes to the breakfast shop in town to buy breakfast. It had been like this for the past few days. Liu Nanshan cooked some porridge at home, and today it was soy milk.

Gu Xuehui and Song Ningwei bought a lot of food, including fried dough sticks, fried sugar cakes, glutinous rice balls, rice balls, fried dim sum, leek boxes, etc. They bought almost everything they saw on the street that looked good, and everyone could eat whatever they wanted.

This kind of breakfast is a very novel experience for little Cha Cha. He has never eaten it before, and he can't even name the things on the table. He doesn't know what to do with them when he looks at them.

Liu Nanshan found it very interesting, so he introduced each of them to Cha Cha one by one, and finally asked, "Which one do you want to eat, Cha Cha? Grandpa will get it for you."

Chacha turned to look at Du Yunkai, and seeing him picking up a fried sugar cake with chopsticks, she said, "I want to eat the same as my uncle." Du Yunkai put the fried sugar cake on the small plate in front of Chacha and said, "Eat it yourself, don't delay grandpa." He then said to Liu Nanshan, "Uncle, don't worry about him, he can do it himself."

“Okay. Okay.” Liu Nanshan’s eyes lit up when he saw Cha Cha take a bite. He was even happier than when he himself ate it.

Gu Xuelan put the back of her hand against the outside of the bowl to test the temperature. When she found it was not hot anymore, she pushed it in front of Cha Cha and asked him to drink from it: "Blow on it before drinking. Don't burn yourself."

Cha Cha thanked her, took a bite of the fried cake, held the bowl in her little hands, blew on it, and then took another sip.

After breakfast, Cha Cha hurried back to pull his small suitcase, and then came over to call Liu Wangxue: "Auntie, let's go and deliver the photo album to Youyou and the others."

Du Yunxiang asked Liu Wangxue to give her all the photos taken before the Spring Festival. She took them back and asked the photography studio that took the photos of Cha Cha to make an album. It was completed and sent over the day before yesterday. Cha Cha kept a copy for herself, and the rest were all packed into his small suitcase and brought over, one for each of the children.

Also brought back were the limited edition New Year's cookies made by Qiu Xiangrong, which were the Nian beast and dragon. During the Spring Festival, the express delivery business was closed, so Qiu Xiangrong said that he would give them to Du Yunkai when he came on the eighth day of the first lunar month. However, Du Yunkai did not come back, so Qiu Xiangrong sent them to him. Cha Cha loved the cookies very much after receiving them. He shared some with his family, and some with his good friends Lele and Jimmy. He brought the rest back and said that he would eat them with Youyou, Xiaotao and others.

Liu Wangxue took the three little ones and Cha Cha to deliver the photo albums. Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai had nothing to do, so they went together.

Cha Cha was pulling the box with his left hand and holding the biscuits with his right hand, so he had a hard time walking. The three adults wanted to help him carry the biscuits, but he refused and said, "I can do it. This is a gift for everyone. I can do it."

As soon as Chacha finished speaking, Xiaoci jumped from Liu Wangxue's arms, and then jumped onto Chacha's small suitcase. This fat winter melon has been affectionately called "pig" in the video, so you can imagine how heavy it is. As soon as it jumped on, Chacha was caught off guard, and the suitcase fell to the ground with a "bang".

The cat was confused.

Cha Cha was also confused.

The two sides looked at each other quietly.

The three adults laughed.

Guagua, who was standing on Chacha's shoulder, was the first to react. He flapped his wings to "teach" Xiaoci a lesson, and the two of them got into a fight on the suitcase. Pengpeng came over slowly, nudging one and then the other, trying to separate the two.

Du Yunkai carried Cha Cha away to avoid being affected. The child was still trying to stop the fight: "Don't fight, hey, don't fight."

Liu Wangxue forcibly picked up Xiaoci and finally separated them completely.

Xu Qingsong picked up Chacha's suitcase again and asked Chacha, "Can I help you with it now?"

Cha Cha hesitated for a moment: "Okay then, thank you Uncle Xu."

Everyone continued to walk forward. Xiaoci was restless in Liu Wangxue's arms and still wanted to stand on the suitcase, so she had to bend down and put the cat on it. The suitcase was in Xu Qingsong's hand, steady.

When passing by Tao Huayu's courtyard, I happened to run into Qiu Xiangrong who was killing fish at the door. Tao Huaxin said that she wanted to drink fish soup, so Tao's father went to the morning market early in the morning and bought two kilograms of small crucian carp. Qiu Xiangrong took advantage of the time when the cake base was baked to kill the fish and save it for lunch.

After they exchanged greetings, Qiu Xiangrong immediately saw the biscuits in Cha Cha's hand. The packaging box had been removed and they were now in a transparent plastic bag. He asked Du Yunkai, "Why did you bring this back?"

Du Yunkai explained, and when Qiu Xiangrong heard that the children liked it, he was happy and said, "When I have time, I will make some more, and everyone will have one."

After saying goodbye to Qiu Xiangrong, the few of them continued walking forward, greeting and chatting with the villagers they met.

After the Spring Festival, the liveliness in the village gradually faded away, because most of the people who came back to celebrate the New Year left around the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Xiaopang’s parents left on the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. On the ninth day, Jinghe brought Youyou over to play and talked about this. Youyou added: “Xiaopang cried very loudly. He was so sad!”

Liu Wangxue asked if Xiaopang had recovered from his crying, and she was still thinking about what to give him to comfort him. Jinghe said that he recovered from his crying soon after. Youyou added, gesturing, "I gave Xiaopang a big lollipop, it's rainbow, it's delicious, Xiaopang stopped crying after eating it."

After Liu Wangxue heard this, the relevant scene immediately emerged in his mind, and he thought to himself, he is indeed Xiaopang, this is how he gained all this fat.

We didn’t run into Xiao Tao and the others on the way, so Cha Cha said, “Let’s go to You You’s house first. I promised You You that I would give him the cookies first.”

Because these two kids have phone watches, they contact each other from time to time, so their relationship is obviously deeper than that with Xiao Tao and the others.

However, most of the time Youyou called Chacha not to keep in touch, but to ask for help. Because Youyou was studying with Richard, during the break, Richard always took the initiative to chat with him, but he couldn't understand a lot of what he said, so he relied on Jinghe to translate for him. Sometimes Jinghe was away for something, and little Youyou was confused, so she called Chacha.

Since the studio holiday ended, Richard's class was moved to after dinner, and he came to study with Shen Nian'an for two hours every night. As an adult, he is better than a child in terms of concentration and acceptance. In just a few days of classes, he has learned and mastered all the pinyin. Now Shen Nian'an is giving him a comprehensive class that includes the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

As for little Youzi, he was not so lucky. Even though Richard did not come during the day, he still had to go to class, but in his mind, he was accompanying his brother to study. Shen Nian'an was not very strict with Youzi, which was equivalent to letting him learn while playing. He also taught Xiaopang and Yaya slowly, and they learned slowly, which was considered to lay a foundation in advance.

When the group of four and the three kids arrived at Shen Nian'an's house, Youyou was playing with Yaya and Xiaopang in the yard. Today was the Lantern Festival, so Shen Nian'an gave them a day off.

Youyou turned around and saw Chacha at the gate. He immediately threw away the toy car in his hand and ran towards Chacha: "Little angel! You are here!"

Cha Cha stepped over the threshold carrying a biscuit: "Don't call me little angel."

Youyou reached out to pull Chacha’s hand: “You are the little angel, because, as soon as I think of you, you appear!”

Xiaopang and Yaya came over to corroborate what Youyou said: "Yes, Youyou just said that she wanted to play with toy cars with you."

Xiaopang continued: "And then you appeared! How magical!"

Cha Cha sighed helplessly: "Okay then." Then she said: "I'll give you the photo album and some cookies."

At this time, Jinghe came out of the living room with some snacks - the snacks were for the three children. He greeted Liu Wangxue and the others and shouted inside: "Dad, Sister Xuxu, Uncle Xu and Uncle Du are here."

Shen Nian'an was the only adult at home. The two old people went to the town to buy things. Gu Qingyue went to the village committee to work. Two children came to make an appointment the day before yesterday, and I wanted to talk to them today.

After the adults said hello, they saw Xiaopang and Yaya running out together. Liu Wangxue asked, and Jinghe said, "They went to call Xiaotao and Haohao over, as well as Leilei and Fengfeng."

Okay, let them be. Call them all over so that we don’t have to send them off one by one.

Shen Nian'an invited everyone into the house and Jinghe helped to make tea and brought it over.

Cha Cha couldn't wait to open the suitcase and take out the photo album, handing it to You You who was watching curiously beside him: "Here you go, I've seen them all, the photos are beautiful."

The packaging looks very delicate. Each book comes in a separate box, which is quite large. It was specially designed by the photography studio. Each child is transformed into a distinctive cartoon character printed on it, which is very childlike and commemorative.

Youyou carried the box and put it on the sofa: "It's so heavy, brother, please help me."

Jinghe took the box and helped Youyou open it. There were not only photo albums inside, but also several dolls of children, which were quite lifelike.

Youyou first picked up the dolls and showed them to everyone. He could recognize who was who at a glance.

Everyone flipped through the album to look at the photos and commented on each child's acting skills.

When they turned to the photo of Yaya with a rape flower pinned on her ear and smiling at the camera, everyone gave it the highest praise and felt that Liu Wangxue had captured it particularly well. From these smiling eyes, one can see the most simple, pure and bright things, with a natural attraction that makes people's eyes stay on it unconsciously.

Xu Qingsong said: "If there is a competition for the most beautiful smile, I will submit this application and it will definitely be selected."

Du Yunkai asked Liu Wangxue: "Would you consider participating in any competition or exhibition? I think you are good enough."

Liu Wangxue shook his head: "Forget it, forget it. I am only half-baked. It's just that Yaya is expressive and I happened to catch her. Otherwise, there would be no such photo."

Shen Nian'an half-jokingly said, "I heard from Qingyue that the village has started to promote your drama. Why don't we tell Yaya's family and let her be the spokesperson for our village's rapeseed field? The rapeseed flowers will be in full bloom in less than half a month. What if the broadcast of the drama can attract people to come here for tourism? The rapeseed field in our village is also quite large. We can definitely take pictures of the effect of a sea of ​​flowers. Wouldn't we take the opportunity to create some kind of internet celebrity check-in?"

Liu Wangxue and the other two thought this was a good idea. They could go to the village committee when they returned and discuss it with Wang Junpeng. If Wang Junpeng thought it was feasible, then the most important thing would be to obtain the consent of Yaya herself and her family.

Everyone chatted about this for a while, and when they were about to look at the photos, Xiaopang and Yaya brought Xiaotao and the others over. The living room suddenly became lively, and it was completely the world of the children, who chattered non-stop, and even the biscuits that Chacha gave out couldn't stop them.
