Chapter 16: 'No One Can Inherit My Little Duck Li”
Chapter 16
The executive producer eagerly ran forward, pointing to the house behind him, "This is the filming location. You'll need to stay here for a few days."
Qin Sui turned to look and blurted out, "Is Sheng Yuxiao living in a pigsty?"
The executive producer: "..."
Bullet screen comments:
[...]
[Well, this one's even more sharp-tongued than Sheng Yuxiao]
[I'm starting to see why these two families are arch-enemies]
"There's no other option?" Qin Sui asked again.
"Uh, no," came the reply.
So Qin Sui said nothing more and strode towards the dilapidated house nearby.
The executive producer breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this one was actually easier to persuade than Young Master Sheng. Perhaps the upcoming filming would go smoothly?
As miserable as it was, the pigs still needed feeding. Li Xiaoya finished feeding the pigs and was walking back with the iron bucket when she ran into Qin Sui.
She froze for a moment before realizing... a stranger had arrived!
"Who are you?" Li Xiaoya looked at him warily.
Qin Sui lowered his gaze to the little girl who barely reached his waist. His tone wasn't particularly gentle as he said bluntly, "Didn't the production team tell you? Sheng Yuxiao left, and I'm here to replace him."
Li Xiaoya's eyes widened instantly, those beautiful orbs filling with tears that didn't fall.
"Sheng Yuxiao left?"
"He's not coming back?"
She murmured these questions one after another.
Qin Sui didn't know how his old man had arranged things, so he said nothing.
To Li Xiaoya, this was as good as confirmation.
Her tiny face was filled with disappointment, completely unable to accept the situation.
Qin Sui couldn't help but wonder, Am I that bad? Am I really worse than Sheng Yuxiao?
The bullet screen comments were also discussing:
[Let's see what kind of tricks Li Xiaoya has up her sleeve when facing Qin Sui]
[With Qin Sui's personality, he won't bother with her]
[Hard to say, Li Xiaoya is too good at winning people over]
The audience watched the screen intently, not wanting to miss a single detail.
At that moment, Li Xiaoya turned and left without a word.
She left?
Sheng Yuxiao looked utterly confused. "Why would I go home?"
Sheng Jun: "...?"
Sheng Jun was also surprised: "You don't want to go home?"
"Of course I'm going back to Li Family Village." Sheng Yuxiao's brow furrowed again. "You don't know, there's this little kid there, she's absolutely adorable..."
"Li Xiaoya?"
"Oh, you know about her."
"Your mother and I have watched a bit of the show."
"Hmm, that makes it easier to explain then... I'll be straightforward. Li Xiaoya can't do without me! I need to go back and take care of her."
Young Master Sheng said this without a hint of embarrassment.
Although Li Xiaoya cooked for him, he could braid her hair, couldn't he?
He didn't do a good job last time, and these two days in the hospital, he'd been mentally practicing braiding whenever he had nothing else to do. This time when he goes back, he's determined to give Li Xiaoya the cutest double buns hairstyle, outshining everyone else.
"She can't do without you?" The corner of Sheng Jun's mouth twitched.
"Yeah. I haven't been back for two days. She's probably cried in her blanket at least eight times by now. And her blanket is all worn out, it lets the wind in. When I go back, I need to buy her a new blanket on the way."
Sheng Yuxiao was still thinking about Li Xiaoya's face covered in tears when he left. She was afraid he might die.
She was so worried, worried to death.
Doesn't he need to go back and comfort her?
The bullet screen comments were cracking up at this point.
[Young Master Sheng, don't worry. She's very strong. She hasn't been crying in her blanket; she even went mushroom picking again!]
Sheng Jun seemed a bit helpless as he said, "We haven't seen each other for so long. Don't you want to spend a few days with me?"
Sheng Yuxiao waved his hand dismissively. "If I come home, won't we see each other every day?"
Sheng Jun: "..."
[Haha, so cold to his own father]
[Young Master Sheng really needs to go back. If he doesn't return soon, what if Li Xiaoya runs off with Qin Sui?]
[So what if she does? Is it that hard for Young Master Sheng to find a little sister? There are girls lining up everywhere to be his sister!]
Sheng Jun spread his hands and said, "I can let you go back, but you can't go back right now."
Sheng Yuxiao frowned, "What do you mean?"
Li Qingqing finally found an opportunity to interject. She quickly said, "Because Qin Sui has gone there! Don't you know, brother? He's going to record a show with Li Xiaoya."
"Qin Sui? Which Qin Sui?" Sheng Yuxiao's face darkened.
"Which other Qin Sui could it be?" Sheng Jun smiled helplessly.
Sheng Yuxiao's expression changed drastically. He threw off the blanket and got out of bed, "I'm going back right now! Qin Sui can forget about inheriting my Li Xiaoya!"
