Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Slap in the Face
One of Wei Chuan’s personas is filial piety.
He said on the show that no matter how busy he is, he always makes time to go fishing with his elders, and because of that, he has learned how to fish quite well.
This time, he brought a guitar and fishing equipment, but the fishing equipment was confiscated by the production team.
He had to borrow tools from the reservoir’s manager. The tools weren’t as good as his own, and now he hadn’t caught a single fish, which made Wei Chuan secretly displeased.
Fishing allows him to get ingredients, so he can avoid doing farm work.
Who wants to do farm work anyway? He’s here to promote music, not to do labor.
At this moment, his cousin Lin Ci walked over.
He looked down on this cousin. He heard she was very talented in opera, but who listens to opera these days?
However, he needed his cousin to ’actively’ ask to hear a song so he could naturally pick up his guitar and sing.
The little girl walked over slowly.
She remembered what her dad said before the start of this program recording.
Her dad told her to act like she really enjoyed her cousin’s singing and to often ask him to sing.
In truth, she didn’t like this cousin, nor did she have any interest in these songs. She would rather practice her basic skills, as she liked opera.
But if she acted better, wouldn’t her dad stop hitting her mom?
"Cousin," she said awkwardly, "so you’re here, I really want to..."
"Lin Ci sister!"
A familiar voice came through.
The originally indifferent expression turned into one filled with joy.
"Miaomiao!"
The little girl turned her head, only to see another little girl running over quickly, hugging her excitedly.
Lin Ci rarely hugged peers.
Her not-so-great growing environment made her withdrawn, and she had already forgotten how to interact with peers.
But now, being hugged by a soft little sister, warmth flowed from the other party, and suddenly, she felt that hugs were quite good.
Lin Ci hugged her back.
The scene of two little girls hugging was too heartwarming, and both cameramen couldn’t help but give a few more close-up shots.
[Wow, they have such good feelings for each other]
[The friendship between children is so magical, they weren’t very familiar before, but after herding chicks and ducklings together, their relationship quickly heated up]
[This Gu Miaomiao is so rude, not even greeting Wei Chuan?]
[The person ahead, why doesn’t Wei Chuan greet her instead]
Wei Chuan waited and waited, but Tuanzi didn’t greet him, so he could only stand up and intrude on their embrace.
"You must be Miaomiao. I am Lin Ci’s cousin, Wei Chuan."
He knew Gu Miaomiao was very popular, and if he entered her live stream, he would surely gain more attention.
Performing in front of Gu Miaomiao later would have a better effect.
"Hello."
Tuanzi greeted politely, then tilted her head in confusion, "Your surname is Wei, and Lin Ci sister’s surname is Lin, how can you be siblings?"
Wei Chuan was displeased but didn’t show it, "She uses her grandmother’s surname."
Lin Ci’s grandmother was a famous opera artist. Back then, to please his mother-in-law, Wei Cai proposed letting his daughter follow her grandmother’s surname after she was born. At that time, he thought, after all, it’s just a daughter, it doesn’t matter whose surname she takes.
Lin Ci then said softly: "He’s my cousin, my uncle’s child."
"Oh oh, so it’s a cousin."
Tuanzi smiled brightly, nobody knew she was plotting something.
She naturally got familiar, "Is Brother Wei Chuan fishing? Miaomiao also wants to fish."
Wei Chuan laughed, "I can teach you."
Tuanzi also went to borrow some tools, and after returning, she gave Lin Ci a set of tools.
"Sister, let’s learn together."
Lin Ci couldn’t refuse her smiling face and muddle-headedly accepted the tools.
The three of them started fishing.
Wei Chuan began to explain various fishing techniques.
[My Chuan Chuan is so enthusiastic]
[He’s really nice to the kids]
[Whoever said he had a bad temper was just proven wrong]
Tuanzi listened carefully, then suddenly asked a soul-piercing question, "But Brother Wei Chuan, you haven’t seemed to catch any fish."
Wei Chuan: "..."
Wei Chuan: "Perhaps the fish in the reservoir aren’t plentiful. When I fished with the elders before, we usually had good hauls."
"Oh, so that’s how it is."
Tuanzi nodded with a smile.
Wei Chuan felt a bit uneasy, but seeing the little girl’s smile without any haze, he wondered if he was just overthinking.
At this point, Tuanzi began to act cute towards the system.
[Miaomiao: Little Gu, can you give Miaomiao a reward?]
[Ancient Martial System: What reward?]
[Miaomiao: Just make Miaomiao’s fishing skill very amazing]
[Ancient Martial System: There is no such reward]
[Miaomiao: Then make one, Little Gu is omnipotent, the most amazing system!]
[Ancient Martial System: Even if you say so... your reputation value hasn’t reached 1 million, new rewards can’t drop]
Finding out she was short by 50,000 reputation value, Tuanzi thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up, twisted her body, preparing to perform.
"Miaomiao is a bit thirsty, wants to go back and make some honey grapefruit tea."
Wei Chuan seized the chance to lecture her, "Fishing requires patience, if you’re like this..."
Tuanzi: O(∩_∩)O
Confronted with that bright sunny smile, Wei Chuan found it hard to continue speaking.
However, Wei Chuan’s fans didn’t let her off the hook, they criticized and educated her. It was as if her wanting to go back and drink some water was a huge mistake, while Wei Chuan not catching any fish but sitting here was something extraordinary.
"But Brother Wei Chuan is so patient, and he didn’t catch any fish either."
Wei Chuan: "..."
[Haha, a critical hit]
[Miaomiao, don’t tell the truth, hahaha]
[Wei Chuan’s fans boast about his fishing skills, yet I haven’t seen a single fish caught so far]
Tuanzi: "Miaomiao will be back in a jiffy."
With that said, she leaped away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The cameramen couldn’t keep up and were quite puzzled.
[Wow, how did she suddenly vanish]
[This speed is much faster than before]
[Could it be that Miaomiao wasn’t using her full strength before?]
[Kneel and beg the cameraman to capture Miaomiao’s movement trajectory]
[Zhu Fangfangfang, time to step up, quick quick quick]
Tuanzi did as she said, zooming away only to zoom back shortly after.
This was a major highlight, and the director immediately had it played in slow motion in the central live stream room.
Slowed down many times, everyone finally saw Tuanzi’s figure.
[It’s confirmed, Miaomiao wasn’t using her full strength before]
[Miaomiao was very considerate to the show crew, she worked hard]
[So thoughtful, deserves a drumstick]
Tuanzi landed, and unsurprisingly, heard the system tell her that her reputation value had reached 1 million, and she could now randomly drop a reward.
Even though it said there wasn’t such a reward, the Ancient Martial System still used its privileges to create a ’ten-minute fishing aura’.
[Ancient Martial System: Using this aura, in the next ten minutes, there will always be fish biting]
[Miaomiao: Can Lin Ci sister’s fishing rod also have fish biting?]
The system was about to refuse when it saw the host with downcast eyes, looking pitiful.
[Ancient Martial System: Just this once]
[Miaomiao: Yay, Little Gu, you are the best system in the universe!]
In the next ten minutes.
Tuanzi: "There’s a bite... Wow, such a big fish!"
Lin Ci excitedly: "I got a fish too!"
The two little girls exclaimed repeatedly, while on Wei Chuan’s side, there was nothing.
Wei Chuan: "..."
