DTBS - Chapter 157
Chapter 157: Parenting Show 9: Unexpected
The online commotion hadn't reached the variety show set yet. After saying what she wanted to say, Tao Aiqin acted like a good child, following the white-bearded grandpa's words and agreeing to stay at his house to learn medicine.
"I should have known," Qin Qingshang walked side-by-side with Tao Qiuyun, watching Tao Aiqin skip ahead with the white cat backpack, following the white-bearded grandpa. A smile appeared on her face. "Qinqin's painting is so imaginative; I should have known she was mischievous."
"She's quite good at acting," Tao Qiuyun turned her head to look at her. "Probably inherited."
"Nonsense," Qin Qingshang also turned her head and said to her, "How can acting be inherited? I think she takes after you."
"Takes after me in what?" Tao Qiuyun was puzzled; she wasn't an actress.
"Takes after you... in your scattered thinking!"
"My thinking is very scattered?"
"Go think about it yourself!"
Because Tao Qiuyun's family left with the white-bearded grandpa, Zhou Linwan and Ming Siwen also left. Most of the remaining guests were "honest people." Everyone was led away by guides who appeared one after another. The five families were now completely separated, heading to their new residences.
【They're splitting up?】
【After all, it should be a horror theme, and horror movies usually separate people first】
【Hahahaha, Mengmeng kept looking back at Qinqin, she's so reluctant, so cute】
【Hehehe, they're childhood sweethearts now, and when they grow up, won't they be CEO and Movie Queen again (heart)】
【Why can't they both be Movie Queens?】
【So why did Sister Qin say CEO Tao's thinking is scattered?】
【Haven't watched the romance show? Anyone who's watched the romance show knows Sister Qiu's thinking is extraordinary (serious)】
The small courtyard was surrounded by a fence, the gray-white walls looked particularly old, and garlic hung on the walls, giving off a rural farmhouse vibe.
The white-bearded grandpa led the three to the door of a separate small house, stroking his beard and saying, "There are no extra rooms at home, you'll have to make do in this room."
Seeing that the old man didn't leave after speaking, Qin Qingshang knew there must be a clue, so she took the initiative to ask, "Old man, are you the only one living in this house now?"
The house was very old, with black soil covered in moss by the wall, but Qin Qingshang immediately noticed the bluestone tiles on the roof. They were commonly used in historical dramas and weren't very old. She roughly sketched out possible scripts in her mind and asked again, "Have all the children in the family gone out to work? Why aren't any of them coming out? Haven't they come home yet?"
"Those who went out shouldn't come back!" The old man's voice rose, his expression suddenly becoming ferocious. He took a step forward, seemingly wanting to do something, but then he immediately recovered, his eyes confused. "Sorry, what did you just say? I didn't quite hear?"
"I just said..." Qin Qingshang thought to herself, changing the subject. "This courtyard is really big."
Tao Qiuyun bent down and picked up the little cat who had shivered, comforting her, "Qinqin, be good. Big White Cat is with you, don't be scared."
"This grandpa," the little one shrank into her arms, "his fake eyebrows are about to fall off."
White-bearded old grandpa: "..."
Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang were facing the old man head-on, but Tao Aiqin's perspective was lower. She had to look up, and she happened to see the tail of the white-bearded grandpa's fake eyebrow lift and fall with the intense movements on his face.
"Master Grandpa," the little cat hugged the woman's neck, turned to look at the old man, and said seriously, "Qinqin has very strong glue. It doesn't let leaves fall off when I stick them on paintings. Do you want Qinqin to lend it to you?"
"...No need."
【Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. My brain, which was just brewing theories, was instantly blown away by laughter】
【I thought Qinqin was scared by the grandpa's sudden change of face, but it turns out... fake eyebrows, hahahaha, it's hard to pretend to be an immortal old man these days】
【Grandpa: This money is hard to earn】
【Just wanted to say this grandpa's acting is good, next second: What acting?】
【I watched the replay of Qinqin's live stream, this little girl is secretly laughing!】
"Such a big courtyard," Tao Qiuyun took over the conversation, looking around. "Why aren't there any small animals like chickens, ducks, or geese?"
"Can geese be considered small animals?" Qin Qingshang felt her statement wasn't precise. "Geese are so fierce, they might carry Qinqin away."
"Qinqin is awesome!" The little cat, nestled in Tao Qiuyun's arms, waved her fists. "Qinqin will carry away the big goose!"
"Are you a weasel?" Tao Qiuyun couldn't help but laugh.
"Qinqin is a cat! You're the weasel!" The little one was unhappy and poked her with her paws.
"Qinqin, you can't say that about Mama," Qin Qingshang stepped forward to educate her, saying seriously, "You're a cat. If Qiuqiu Mama is a weasel, how could she give birth to a little cat?"
"Qinqin is a cat, Mama is a cat," the little one didn't care about logic, pointed at Tao Qiuyun, and said unhappily, "She's a weasel."
"But weasels are smelly," Qin Qingshang reached out and stroked her little head, patiently guiding her. "Smell her. Is your Qiuqiu Mama smelly?"
"Not smelly." The little cat shook her head, looking honest.
"That's right," Qin Qingshang told her. "If Qiuqiu Mama is a weasel, then you're also a weasel, and you and your Qiuqiu Mama will become very, very smelly."
"No, no," the little cat shook her head, staring at the two adults in front of her. "Then only Qinqin will become smelly, because Mama is fragrant, and Qiuqiu Mama is also fragrant. You two wash together every day and don't bring wo... Mmm~"
Tao Qiuyun decisively covered her mouth, her expression momentarily unnatural. "Okay, you're tired, don't talk anymore."
Qin Qingshang clearly hadn't expected her daughter to suddenly "stab" her and Qiuqiu on the live stream. Her face flushed slightly. She turned back to look at the NPC grandpa who had been "neglected" for a long time, and said apologetically:
"Sorry, Grandpa, kept you waiting."
The grandpa chuckled, "It's fine. The wooden tub in the room is big, you can wash together and save water."
"..." x2
【Help! What does "wash together every day and don't bring" mean? I'm ignorant, can someone explain?】
【I'll write you an eight-thousand-word washing process right now (opens Word)】
【Boss, please, round it up, write eighty thousand (hands pen)】
【Write about the rocking chair too (kowtows)】
【Good heavens, is that how you round up numbers?! So your rounding up is just adding zeros to the end】
【You don't know what washing together means? It means going to the bathroom together and rubbing the soap over and over】
【Newcomer here, what's the rocking chair meme in the comments?】
【It's lying on a rocking chair, with the sun, on a balcony, highlighting one word—comfortable!】
【I thought that was two words】
【So will they bathe together tonight? (shy)】
【Milky white snow, YYDS】
【Ew, snow has been banned hahahahaha】
【Don't turn off the live stream tonight, okay! I want to hear them kill mosquitoes!】
【There's a child, how can they kill mosquitoes (dog head)】
【Can the reviewer look carefully! Milky white is not snow white! Read it again!】
【They can kill the child (not serious)】
【Qinqin: ?】
【What did Qinqin do wrong? Just because she told the truth? (X)】
The three who entered the house didn't immediately start exploring, but Qin Qingshang still suggested, "Qiuqiu, let's organize our things first, and then take Qinqin outside to gather some information? At least we need to find Teacher Ming and the others' place so it's easier to contact them later."
"Okay," Tao Qiuyun put the little one down on the ground and let her follow her to pack the luggage. "What secrets do you think this island has?"
"That old grandpa just now became very strange," Qin Qingshang discussed with Tao Qiuyun while organizing things. "Do you think it might be because my words just now stimulated him?"
"I'm quite concerned about Miss Zhou who appeared at the very beginning," Tao Qiuyun looked at her. "Miss Zhou's expression earlier was very similar to the grandpa's just now."
"Are you saying that the villagers in this village are unfriendly to outsiders?"
"But the postwoman later was very enthusiastic, although she was talking to Miss Zhou," Tao Qiuyun sat on the edge of the bed. "But she at least didn't show any malice towards us, and the later grandpa was even more so, even inviting us in."
"It's more like a gradual progression," Qin Qingshang also sat beside her, leaning her head on her shoulder. "Qiuqiu, do you think we can solve the mystery of this island?"
She paused, then continued, "The old man said tomorrow is Qinqin's job interview. If she successfully gets a job, maybe she can find out some information. What about us? Just wander around?"
"Why can't we just enjoy the scenery?" Tao Qiuyun held her hand, her voice gentle. "Qingshang, after we got married, we rarely had a chance for a honeymoon. The scenery here is nice, why not have a good time? As for solving the mystery, let's just let nature take its course."
"How can we do that! Don't forget, our mission is to solve the island's secret." The cat shook her head, disagreeing with such behavior.
Getting paid to slack off wasn't something she liked to do.
"An open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against," the woman's gentle eyes seemed to glow, captivating. She didn't say it explicitly, just said, "Walls have ears, better be careful."
At first, Qin Qingshang didn't understand what she meant, but seeing the woman look at the camera, a light bulb suddenly went off.
She suddenly understood...
Good heavens, Tao Qiuyun was saying she was slacking off, but in reality, she was deliberately luring the production team into a trap.
After all, the production team, which had buried treasures and set traps, definitely hoped they would rush in and get frustrated. But if she just poked around here and there, delaying getting to the main point, acting like she was getting paid to slack off, the production team would be like monkeys looking at bananas they couldn't eat, getting anxious!
They would be eager to hand over clues themselves...
This was like Jiang Taigong fishing, waiting for those willing to take the bait.
Tao Qiuyun was fishing! Damn, the businesswoman!
The usually upright movie star couldn't help but reach out and poke Tao Qiuyun's chest, her red lips opening and closing, "CEO Tao, your heart is truly black."
"My heart is you, Qingshang." The woman smiled and held her hand. "Don't scold yourself, it makes my heart ache."
"You! We're still filming, be serious!" Qin Qingshang's face instantly turned red, and she pulled her hand away.
"Mama! Mama!" The little cat, who was packing her luggage alone, seemed to have found something good and ran over excitedly. "What is this? Such a pretty box!"
After seeing what her daughter was holding, Tao Qiuyun was stunned. Qin Qingshang's already flushed face turned even redder. She snatched it away and questioned Tao Qiuyun, "Qiuqiu, why is this thing in the suitcase!"
At this moment, Tao Qiuyun finally remembered that she had taken this thing with her when she returned to West Wind Courtyard before, but because it was hidden in the interlayer of the suitcase, she forgot to take it out later and didn't remember it this time, leading to such a big misunderstanding.
Tao Qiuyun pursed her lips, a hint of annoyance flashing in her bright eyes. She hesitated, not knowing how to explain for a moment.
Although Qin Qingshang snatched the item and covered it tightly, not showing it to the camera, the audience watching Tao Aiqin's live stream saw it completely.
【LOL, I didn't expect to see this thing again】
【Didn't you say you didn't want it? (dog head)】
【It's determined to follow Sister Qin and Sister Qiu 】
【Use it! Why not use it! Don't you like reaching the peak in eight seconds! Wuwuwu】
【Friends, they are real wives! What you dreamed of and wrote is all true! Hurry up and write, keep writing for me!】
【LOL, the director of the romance show hated the lack of romantic elements, and now the "horror" kid show... Hahahaha, the director probably hates it too】
【Hates them for coming here to date (dog head)】
【OMG! Ming Siwen and Zhou Linwan next door kissed!】
【Nani!?】
【It's over, it's really turned into a romance show now】
