Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Happiness
The happiness belonged to two little girls, Wei Chuan had nothing.
For ten whole minutes, he listened to their continuous ’boasting’ for ten minutes.
"Another big fish has come up, Lin Ci sister, Miaomiao’s fish is even bigger!"
Inspired by the well-meaning comparison, Lin Ci also developed unprecedented courage.
"My fish is very big too!"
"What a huge fish!"
"Another one came up, hahaha!"
Soon, an embarrassing video went viral online.
The video began with Wei Chuan confidently smiling, "I often accompany elders to fish, so I’m quite skilled. Today, I’ll ensure my aunt and sister have more to eat."
No fish caught.
The video showed a line of text.
years later.
Next, another shot of Wei Chuan, "I can teach you, it should be like this..."
He talked on and on, but still caught no fish, even blaming Gu Miaomiao for lack of patience, which Miaomiao questioned.
Wei Chuan: "Maybe this reservoir has no fish."
Tuanzi caught a fish.
"...no fish."
Lin Ci caught a fish.
"...no fish."
Tuanzi caught another fish.
Each time Wei Chuan repeated himself, his face got figuratively slapped.
Many who clicked into the video laughed heartily.
[Does his face hurt or not]
[This is the consequence of pretending]
[Why are you mocking Chuan Chuan, it’s not that he doesn’t want to catch fish, it’s the fish being uncooperative]
[Fish being uncooperative? Puhahaha, you might as well say the fish are collaborating with the kids for a play]
[This year’s Best Actor and Actress should be awarded to the reservoir’s fish]
Many people crowded into the live stream.
Wei Chuan gained popularity, even several creators started editing this segment into various embarrassing or funny videos.
The higher the video’s popularity, the more people recognized his implicit criticism.
[I always wanted to say, he’s here to help with farm work, with a guitar really pretending big]
[Heard he’s releasing a single next month, you get it, right]
[Got it, promoting on the show is fine, but you gotta work, why else would they invite you, the other four guest stars are all working]
Seeing the momentum turning unfavorable for Wei Chuan, the team’s PR staff immediately alerted the manager. The manager told them to contact the blogger with the highest popularity to delete the video.
Zhu Fang received a private message.
He glanced at it and directly blocked the person.
"Delete the video?"
The youth who stayed indoors for years had very fair skin.
"Dream on."
Originally, he didn’t have a good or bad impression of Wei Chuan, even listened to his songs. Of course, he listened to most people’s songs. Only with a strong enough song library can he accurately match music when editing videos.
But it happened that this person implicitly criticized Gu Miaomiao.
He followed Little Heroine for three variety shows, already a loyal fan. Recently, all videos have been related to Little Heroine.
This editor thought, let you imply more, and I’ll keep editing your videos.
Tuanzi didn’t know this segment became editing material for many bloggers.
Seeing Wei Chuan’s face darken, she was happy.
Martial artists are always keenly aware.
The first time she saw Wei Chuan, she sensed his malice towards her, even detected his dislike for Lin Ci.
Of course, Little Heroine had to strike back.
While retaliating, there were fish to eat, she truly was a little genius.
[Miaomiao: Right, Miaomiao is a little genius]
The system couldn’t understand the host’s narcissism. But seeing the host full of anticipation, it ambiguously responded.
Treat it as coaxing a child.
Tuanzi’s eyes curved happily.
"Lin Ci sister, let’s go back, today everyone can have a great meal!"
Initially, they weren’t good at reeling in, but later, once skilled, basically as soon as the bait was down, fish were caught, and they immediately reeled in, removing the fish.
At this point, everyone had six or seven fish, and they were all big ones. One fish was enough for several people.
Tuanzi grabbed a big fish with her bare hands, gifting it to the reservoir manager who lent them the fishing rod.
The manager didn’t stand on ceremony, accepting it generously, "Whenever you want to fish while filming here, just come and take a rod, pick whichever you like."
"Thank you, uncle!"
After reuniting with Lin Ci, Tuanzi picked up the bucket.
"Let’s go, let’s go, back we go."
Lin Ci mimicked her, unable to lift the bucket, she had to ask the staff for help.
At that moment, Wei Chuan laughed, "Kids have little strength, let me carry it."
Lin Ci glanced at him, somewhat unhappy, "Miaomiao has great strength, your words aren’t quite accurate."
Her lack of strength doesn’t mean all kids lack strength, cousin’s words are wrong.
Wei Chuan’s smile stiffened.
In such a short time, why had the previously silent and reclusive cousin changed so much?
In the past, when adults spoke, she wouldn’t dare rebut, practically a silly girl.
"Lin Ci sister, we can lift together."
Tuanzi again sensed the malice emanating from Wei Chuan, wrinkling her nose.
She reached out her chubby paw, grabbing onto another bucket’s handle, Lin Ci rushed to grab hold too.
The two little friends swayed as they headed towards the village.
Wei Chuan could only follow behind with his guitar. Unsurprisingly, he was mocked once more.
[Why laugh, he wanted to help, but Lin Ci refused, does this kid have issues]
[If only Wei Chuan hadn’t implied something before helping, surely everyone would let him help]
[I think Wei Chuan has issues, why always imply something before doing anything]
Not long after, they ran into Su Hanjiang and Liu Hu.
The two adults quickly helped lift the bucket.
"Did you catch these?"
The two little girls nodded with smiles.
Liu Hu smiled, "You’re amazing, little fishing experts."
She hadn’t even considered the fish were caught by Wei Chuan.
Focused solely on being dapper, asking kids to carry stuff, she couldn’t be bothered to glance at this person.
Of course, this disregard sparked dissatisfaction among Wei Chuan’s fans.
Liu Hu was a dancer, not widely known, with naturally a smaller fan base, unable to outmatch Wei Chuan’s fans.
Tuanzi took Lin Ci’s hand, happily tagging along.
"Liu Hu sister, do you eat fish? You can take one later."
Facing Su Hanjiang, she said, "Mr. Su, later Miaomiao will come to your home to give you fish."
She still remembered her buddy Su Chaomu.
The buddy had mentioned his dad would help too.
Lin Ci quickly said, "We have fish at home too, you can take as you please."
Liu Hu and Su Hanjiang genuinely thanked them.
Having fish to add to their meals was certainly a good thing.
Tuanzi whispered to Lin Ci, "Later, we can also take fish to Wu Yu brother, wait for me to come find you."
Lin Ci nodded earnestly.
They arrived first at House No. 5.
The two friends mixed the fish together and counted, there were still 12. Two for each house first, Tuanzi and Lin Ci’s families got one more, just right.
Lin Ci left three, said goodbye to Yun Xiuxiu, then followed the others out.
Once they left, Wei Chuan complained to Yun Xiuxiu, "Little Ci used to love sticking to me, now with new friends, she’s forgotten her brother."
Yun Xiuxiu laughed awkwardly.
Wei Chuan continued, "Those fish were obviously caught by her, yet she’s off handing them out, sigh, not thinking of aunt."
Yun Xiuxiu: "..."
