Early the next morning, Wen Wen had to return to the village.
If Fu Yun couldn't leave because of the live broadcast, she could only ask Uncle Guo to send Wen Wen to the Mei family.
She looked at Wen Wen's back view as he left happily. She finally experienced the disappointment of a fully-fledged child who no longer needed his mother.
He used to be so clingy. The baby was only four years old. Did he no longer need her so soon? She was heartbroken …
Wen Wen didn't know about his mother's sadness and disappointment. After being sent to the Mei family's courtyard, he climbed out of the car and waved his chubby paws obediently. "Goodbye, Grandpa Guo."
Then he turned around and ran into the courtyard with his short legs.
Si Yue was stretching in the courtyard while chatting casually with the cameraman's assistant.
When he saw the little boy running over happily, he smiled. "Little boy, come here."
Wen Wen looked at the live broadcast camera that was on and carefully walked around the front. Then, she stood at the position closest to Si Yue and raised her head to greet Si Yue in a childish voice, "Good morning, Uncle Yue."
He turned to look at the cameraman who didn't seem to have any presence. "Good morning, Uncle."
"Good morning too, Wen Wen." Si Yue's voice unconsciously became gentler. "You're here so early. Did your mother send you here?" He heard the sound of the tram outside.
Wen Wen shook his head. "No, Grandpa Guo sent me here."
"I'm going out for a walk. Do you want to come?"
Wen Wen said loudly, "Yes!"
The two of them left the courtyard and walked along the path towards the fields.
The rice grains were heavy and some of them were already golden yellow. It was almost harvest season. Seeing this made people feel the joy of a harvest.
Si Yue walked slowly to take care of the child's short legs. However, Wen Wen walked very quickly. For every step he took, he had to take three steps.
Wen Wen looked up for a while and felt his neck ache.
From his perspective, Si Yue was really tall. She was like a giant, taller than him when he grew up. He estimated that she was about 1.88 meters tall.
He enviously looked at that pair of long and slender legs, then looked at his own short legs. He compared the huge gap between the two sides, he only reached a little above his knees … It would be great if he could grow to this height in the future.
Just as he was thinking seriously, his line of sight suddenly rose higher and higher. Wen Wen was stunned, and her small hand subconsciously supported the big hand that was holding him.
"What is Wen Wen thinking about?"
After Si Yue walked for a while, he realized that the little fellow who was hopping behind him had suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her eyes were staring blankly into space.
Si Yue thought that he was tired from walking, so he didn't want to make things difficult for his short legs. He turned around, bent down, picked him up, and placed him on his shoulder before continuing to walk.
With a serious expression, Wen Wen said, "I want to grow up quickly." He turned to look at Si Yue and said admiringly, "I want to grow up to be as tall as you."
Si Yue encouraged him, "You can. As long as you eat well, you will definitely grow up to be as tall as me in the future."
"I'm too short now." Wen Wen sighed. Although he was confident, being shorter than his peers made him depressed.
"You're still young. Uncle was this short when he was your age."
Wen Wen emphasized, "I'm four years old!" He had already passed his third birthday, so he was four years old!
Four years old? Was he that short when he was four years old? Si Yue glanced at his short legs. Judging from his height, he was just like a two-year-old child. However, he could speak so fluently, so he might really be four years old.
Thus, he comforted him, "Uncle was this tall when he was four years old."
Upon hearing this, Wen Wen was very happy. This meant that he had the opportunity to grow up to this height!
Although Wen Wen was not in the picture, he could not help but feel that Si Yue would definitely be a good father in the future when he heard the childish conversation between the adult and the child.
"Then I want to eat more vegetables!" Wen Wen made a great wish. Even his idol had said that he needed to eat more vegetables to grow taller. This meant that there must be a reason. He would not be picky about food anymore!
"I want to grow up quickly!"
"What's the point of growing up so quickly? It's so good to be a child. You can live a carefree life and only care about eating, drinking, and playing. "
Children were simple and happy. They did not need to think about anything and only cared about themselves. Although Si Yue's childhood was relatively short, he had also lived a carefree life for a period of time.
"I want to take care of my mother." Wen Wen sighed like a little adult. "My mother is childish and naive. She's always foolishly trusting others. I have to protect her well. Otherwise, what if she gets cheated?"
Si Yue could not help but laugh. Such a young child seriously worrying about his mother was really heartwarming and amusing.
"What about your father?"
At the mention of this word, Wen Wen frowned. "I don't need him. That man is very, very bad!" He clenched his little fists. "If I see him one day, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!" Who asked him to bully his mother? Hmph!
Upon hearing this, Si Yue thought that this child had not even met his own father. That was really too irresponsible. How could he bear to abandon such a cute child and abandon his wife and son? He was simply a scumbag!
"That's really too bad."
"Yeah!" Wen Wen nodded vigorously.
After taking a walk, Si Yue brought the child back to the Mei family's house.
The Mei couple surrounded Wen Wen and asked about his well-being. It was obvious that he was very doted on in the Mei family.
After breakfast, Si Yue and Xin Xu went to do another task at the request of the production team.
Wen Wen was called by a group of children to play with him again.
He was thinking about something and appeared to be a little absent-minded. Then, he could not help but ask his underlings, "Do you know who else is doing the show?"
Wen Wen's curiosity was piqued. Since there were A-list celebrities like Si Yue who were doing the show, who else was there?
Wen Wen thought about the most popular celebrities of this era, but after so many years, he could not remember which seniors were there.
The children looked at each other and did not know how to answer.
At first, they had gone to watch the show for two days out of curiosity to see how the celebrities filmed the show. However, because their parents had repeatedly warned them not to get too close to strangers, they had not interacted much.
The children did not chase after celebrities, so they could not even tell who the celebrities were.
In their eyes, these so-called big celebrities were not even as attractive as candy.
At first, the family would discuss this at the dining table, but they only cared about eating and did not know what the adults were discussing.
Seeing that they could not answer a single question, Wen Wen was speechless. Alright, he could not expect too much from the children. After all, in the children's world, other than eating, drinking, and playing, they could not see anything else.
The adults' world was too complicated for the children to understand.
However, one of the children could not bear to see Wen Wen disappointed and could not help but say, "There's a vicious queen!"
Vicious queen?
"Yes, yes, yes!" The children remembered and quickly said, "The vicious queen in Snow White!"
"She asked us who was the prettiest!"
"We said it was Sister Ruoruo …"
One of the children suddenly thought of something. "Will she kill Sister Ruoruo like she killed Snow White?"
When the children heard this, they immediately panicked. In the story, the vicious queen heard the magic mirror say that Snow White was the prettiest, so she fed Snow White a poisonous apple!
Their eyes were suddenly filled with tears and they were extremely scared.
When Wen Wen heard the children's words, he was also very worried. He did not know which female celebrity they had unintentionally offended. If it was someone with a bad temper, she might hold a grudge.
His mother was so stupid. If she unintentionally made an enemy, wouldn't she be bullied?
However, he looked confident on the surface. He waved his small hand and comforted them, "No, there's no vicious queen in reality."
However, the children were still very uneasy.
Wen Wen could only say, "Then we'll be dwarves. When the time comes, we'll just protect our mother well!"
When the children heard this, they were immediately happy and expressed that they would protect the princess well.
Dian Dian said worriedly, "Wen Wen, we don't want Sister Ruoruo to eat the poisonous apple. You must look after Sister Ruoruo and don't let her eat something given by strangers."
Wen Wen patted his chest and promised, "I will."
Thus, the children continued to play with peace of mind.
As Wen Wen played, he felt that he had forgotten something. When he saw two strangers walk over, he remembered that he wanted to see the celebrities.
Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village were adjacent. At this moment, they were playing in the area between the two villages.
At this moment, Fang Xue Ruo, who was wearing a white dress, turned her head and spoke to the audience in the live broadcast room with a gentle expression on her face. "… Alright, I know you want to see Brother Yue. Aren't I taking you there now? … No, we're just ordinary friends … "
When she saw the group of children playing, Fang Xue Ruo walked towards them with a kind smile on her face.
She said gently, "Children, may I ask if the Mei family of Shanghe Village is this way?"
The children looked at her and then dispersed in a hubbub.
"The vicious queen is here!"
When Fang Xue Ruo saw this situation, she was very helpless and even felt a little sad. She said to the camera, "Actually, I quite like children. I just don't know why they run away when they see me …"
She lowered her head slightly in disappointment, revealing her lovely side profile. The "snowballs" who were watching the live broadcast felt sorry for her and comforted her. They all scolded the countryside children for being so unlikable.
It wasn't until the photographer's assistant reminded her that there was still a child who hadn't run away. Only then did Fang Xueruo look over. A cute little dumpling stood there foolishly, staring blankly at Fang Xueruo.
When Fang Xue Ruo saw the child who had not run away, she was pleasantly surprised. She quickened her pace and walked over. She bent down and smiled gently. She reached out as if she wanted to touch his little face. "Little boy …"
Fang Xue Ruo had seen the video clip of Si Yue's live broadcast that night and knew that this was the child who had appeared on Si Yue's live broadcast. She thought to herself, 'As expected, the children that Si Yue likes are really adorable.'
When Wen Wen saw Fang Xue Ruo, he was completely stunned.
He never thought that he would see the old woman when she was young here.
Fang Xue Ruo! That woman's mother was also an old woman who he hated to the core.
She did not seem to have changed much after 20 years. She was just younger and had a different temperament. She did not seem to have aged.
He would always remember the way she had looked at him then. She had looked down on him as if he was a rat in the gutter, full of disdain and disgust.
From then on, Fu Wen had gone crazy and desperately tried to climb up the social ladder. He was still resentful of the way that woman had looked at him as if he was trash. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not shake her at all.
That woman was a lady from a wealthy family. He was also born in a wealthy family. She also had a husband who had been in love with her for many years. She was also a legend in the entertainment industry …
Later on, he found out that every time he showed signs of becoming famous, he was suppressed time and time again. He was also covered in black material that could not be washed away. It was all because of this old woman.
He did not know why she would notice an insignificant person like him. She did not succumb to fate and eventually struggled to find a way out of the encirclement of evil.
Later on, he met Chang Xue 'ai, a woman who had the same temperament as that old woman. They even looked similar. When she found out that she was the old woman's daughter, she hid in the dark and tirelessly caused trouble for her, just like how he had once been framed.
However, there was a difference in the end. He had no background and could only be trampled on. The other party had a strong background. She had the Fang family and the Chang family as her backers. She also had pursuers with strong backgrounds to protect her. In the end, he was still defeated.
However, this woman was smiling at him gently and affectionately. She even reached out her hand to touch his face.
Wen Wen only felt endless evil sweeping towards him. The soft touch on his cheek made his hair stand on end and his mind tense up.
He subconsciously tilted his head and fiercely bit her hand.
Fang Xue looked at the child in front of her. She could only see him more clearly when she got closer. His facial features gave her a sense of deja vu. It was so familiar that she could not help but feel evil.
She was thinking when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her finger. She cried out in pain and subconsciously pushed the child away.
Fu Wen was pushed back a few steps and fell hard on the ground.
"Wen Wen!"
After the children ran away, they realized that Wen Wen did not run with them. They could not leave Wen Wen alone to face the evil Empress and run back.
Then, they saw the evil Empress push Wen Wen to the ground.
"You dare to hit Wen Wen!" Da Li and Dashan clenched their small fists and rushed up angrily. "I'll beat you to death!"
The photographer's assistant saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly went up to stop them.
"Don't hit, don't hit, it's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! "
The children did not care about any misunderstanding. They only saw that their Wen Wen was being bullied! They waved their small fists angrily and started punching and kicking.
The photographer did not dare to fight back. He could only stop them. It was already very difficult for him to stop two half-grown children. He even took a few punches on his body. He could not stop the other seven or eight-year-old children who rushed up.
"Hit you! Hit you! "
Xiao Shan, who was not even four years old, also rushed up and hit Fang Xue with his head. If Fang Xue tried to dodge, she was also hit many times.
Dian Dian and some other little children surrounded Wen Wen. They raised their heads and closed their eyes as they cried loudly.
The scene was very chaotic.
Wen Wen, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned when she saw the situation.
Si Yue and the others who rushed over saw this scene.
A group of older children were wailing and attacking two adults. Another group of little children sat on the ground and cried loudly. Xiao Tuanzi, who was surrounded in the middle, was confused.
Not only did the program crew and celebrities who were doing missions nearby rush over when they saw that the situation was not right, but even the villagers who heard the crying came over.
Si Yue strode forward and immediately carried Wen Wen.
The men in black from the program crew quickly carried the children away. Dashan and the others kicked and bit as they struggled.
"What's wrong with you guys? It's fine if you're filming a show, but why are you bullying the children? "
When the villagers saw that their children were in conflict with the program crew and that the adults were shamelessly carrying the children away, they disregarded the consequences and defended their children.
They looked at this group of outsiders with vigilance and dissatisfaction. If it weren't for the fact that they only separated the children and didn't touch a single finger, they would have gone up and beaten them up first.
When the children saw that the adults had arrived, they became more confident. They quickly struggled to get off the ground and swarmed to the adults to complain.
"Second Uncle, they're bullying Wen Wen!"
"They're hitting Wen Wen!"
"Grandpa! They're hitting people! "
The program crew and the local villagers were in a confrontation.
The director's assistant asked with a bitter face if they should turn off the live broadcast. After this incident, the live broadcast was in an uproar and several hot searches on Weibo instantly exploded.
The director weighed the pros and cons and immediately decided to continue the broadcast.
Originally, due to the lack of conflict in the program, the traffic had not exploded. Although the program could be canceled if it was not handled well, it was still an opportunity.
Director Peng smiled apologetically. "Fellow villagers, don't misunderstand. We don't mean any harm to the children."
However, the villagers were still dissatisfied. Even a fool knew that adults shouldn't bully children.
The children glared at them with hostility. Big Mountain said loudly, "She hit Wen Wen! We saw it with our own eyes! "
Everyone's gaze shifted to Fang Xue.
Fang Xue was in a very sorry state. Her snow-white dress was stained with countless dirty marks. Her hair was messy and her small face was pale and weak.
She was on the verge of tears and weakly and pitifully explained, "I didn't hit him. I just accidentally pushed him a little."
Her fair fingers inadvertently revealed a circle of teeth marks. It was very obvious.
In order to protect Fang Xueruo, the photographer, who was in an even more sorry state, explained: "That child bit Miss Fang, so Miss Fang accidentally pushed him."
Weng Huaibei saw the obvious wound on her finger and couldn't help but condemn her. "Children shouldn't bite people randomly!"
The villagers were even more dissatisfied. Second Uncle said, "We've taken care of Wen Wen since he was born. He's been obedient and sensible since he was young. He also takes good care of the children. What did you do to Wen Wen to make him bite you?"
Fang Xue became even more delicate. Her bright eyes were filled with tears, and people couldn't help but feel their hearts soften. She said softly, "I only touched his face. I'm sorry. I didn't know that children don't like other people touching them. I'll be more careful in the future …"
When Fang Xue showed her attitude, Snowball's hearts ached and they angrily flooded the screen.
[If I was bitten by a naughty child, I wouldn't just push him away. I'd ask him to give me two slaps. How do you teach children?]
[This child is so annoying! Disgusting!]
[Xuexue doesn't care about her status and wants to get close to you. It's your honor, okay? You don't know what's good for you!]
[That's right. How can a country bumpkin get so close to Xuexue unless they're lucky?]
[I feel sorry for Xuexue. Her fingers are connected to her heart! She bit him so hard!]
[This naughty child deserves a beating!]
[What era is it now? People are still divided into different classes? If Xuexue wants to get close to someone, does that person have no choice but to kneel down and accept her kindness?]
[It's right for a child to be vigilant, okay? Scolding a child like this, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?]
There were also people who couldn't stand it and started arguing with Fang Xue's fans.
"Nonsense. We pinched Wen Wen's face, but he didn't bite us. Big sister, you don't even know our Wen Wen. Without an adult accompanying you, a stranger like you came to get close to a child. If he didn't bite you, who else would he bite?"
Big … Big sister?! Fang Xue's face almost fell. Being called 'big sister' by an auntie who was several rounds older than her made her extremely uncomfortable.
"That's right. Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom all said that we can't talk to strangers casually. We can't let strangers get close to us. Otherwise, if we get carried away, we won't be able to go home!" Da Li said righteously.
"I knew it. This woman has a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks. One look and you can tell that she's not a kind person."
"She even dares to bully a child …"
Pointy mouth and monkey cheeks? Fang Xue's face contorted for a moment. Her most outstanding feature was her small oval face. She looked delicate, cute, and lovely.
"Miss Fang, that was a very gentle push!" Si Yue's gaze was deep as she looked at her coldly.
After Si Yue carried Wen Wen up, the first thing she did was to check his entire body. Then, she saw that his fair and chubby palms were bruised.
The wounds on his two small palms under the camera's lens were shocking.
Only then did Wen Wen feel a burning pain in his palms. Perhaps it was because he had subconsciously used his hands to support himself when he fell and accidentally scraped them.
His skin was very tender, and it broke open with just a slight scratch. Traces of blood seeped out, and there were even some bruises. It was a scary sight.
Wen Wen hadn't suffered such a big grievance in a long time. After being spoiled for two to three years, he couldn't suppress his emotions and tears welled up in his eyes.
When he saw Fang Xue's weak and innocent posture, Fu Wen's heart was filled with hatred. It was as if Chang Xueai was putting on an act in front of him.
It was like this every time. Regardless of whether he had bullied her or not, she would always act pitifully and innocently. This caused the netizens to attack him indiscriminately.
Indeed, like mother like daughter.
He could imagine the netizens' malicious words at this moment.
Wen Wen was afraid that others would see the twisted hatred in his heart. He lay in Si Yue's arms and curled up into a small ball. His small body trembled from time to time, as if he was afraid.
However, after hearing his idol's words, he suddenly didn't hate her anymore. He was now a child who was loved by someone.
He looked up and raised his two small hands. Feeling wronged, he whined, "It hurts …"
Si Yue blew on it for a while. "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
"Brother Yue?" Fang Xue couldn't believe it. They were from the same program, so shouldn't they be on the same side?
Unfortunately, she was thinking too much. Si Yue's thin lips curled into a mocking smile. "Miss Fang, one must know their place. You know that children don't like you, yet you still deliberately approached them. It's hard not to suspect your intentions!"
He was implying something. "It's said that children are the best at distinguishing between kindness and evil. Miss Fang, since you're so unpopular, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
Si Yue's words were directly pointing at her. She clearly hated children, yet she pretended to be kind and approached them. She had scared the children and caused them to be bitten and beaten. Wasn't that what she deserved?
That wasn't all. When Si Yue found out that Wen Wen had bitten someone, he asked his cameraman for a piece of tissue and carefully wiped his mouth. He even warned him, "You have to know that diseases come from the mouth. Don't bite anything carelessly. What if you get a stomachache?"
Fang Xue's face was really pale. She was on the verge of collapse from Si Yue's words.
The others didn't dare to say anything. Even if they wanted to please Fang Xue, they couldn't afford to offend Si Yue.
Director Peng couldn't stop wiping his sweat. He thought that Best Actor Si's mouth was really vicious. He suddenly regretted not turning off the live stream.
Compared to Fang Xue's live stream that was filled with hostility, Si Yue's fans were much more rational. Their tone was full of ridicule.
[I wanted to say it just now. Zaizai is such a cute child. There must be a reason for her to bite someone.]
[Only Fang Xueruo would be able to push the blame onto a child.]
[Brother Yue is right. Zaizai let Brother Yue hug her the first time she saw him. She even took the initiative to hug his thigh. Don't you know that Zaizai doesn't like you?]
[How dare you insult a three or four-year-old child? Fang Xue's fans are only of this quality.]
[Are you bullying Zaizai because she doesn't have any fans? If anyone dares to insult her again, I'll cut off their heads!]
When the villagers saw that there were reasonable people in the production team, their attitudes became much more amiable. However, they still looked at Fang Xue with an extremely unwelcoming gaze.
"Wen Wen is such a likable child. Who in our village doesn't know that? She bullied our children. If you don't give us an explanation, we won't let this matter rest. "
"Exactly. Do you think we're easy to bully?"
More and more villagers rushed over and surrounded the production team. Director Peng was sweating profusely as he tried his best to lower his voice.
Si Yue looked on coldly. When he saw that the production team had been scolded enough, he stood up and continued, "This is Miss Fang's fault. The production team has also failed in their duties. How about this? Let Miss Fang apologize to the children. The production team will also compensate. What do you think?"
When the villagers saw that Si Yue was on their side and Wen Wen was so close to him, they were willing to give him face.
Under pressure from Si Yue and the production team, Fang Xue tearfully apologized.
The children first looked at Wen Wen without saying a word.
Wen Wen turned his head and stole a glance at Fang Xue. His little face was timid as he looked at Fang Xue with obvious fear in his eyes. He said in a trembling voice, "I forgive you. You didn't mean to push me. I lost my balance …"
After he spoke, he hurriedly buried his face in Si Yue's arms.
The children also reluctantly expressed their forgiveness.
Fang Xue was taken away by the production team. When she returned to her room alone, her face instantly contorted and she fiercely clenched her fists.
Si Yue!
At this moment, her phone rang. She picked it up and paused for a moment before answering the call. She sounded aggrieved and dejected. "Brother Chang …"
