Chapter 5
When the camera was set up again, the audience found that the scene had returned to the familiar little shabby house.
[Wow, did we just time travel?]
At this moment, Li Xiaoya had just returned from gathering firethorn berries. As she approached, she saw Sheng Yuxiao's figure. Her mouth slightly agape, her expression blank.
For a fleeting moment, Li Xiaoya also felt like she had traveled through time.
"Li Xiaoya, from today on, I'm going to live at your place," Sheng Yuxiao said in a tone that brooked no refusal.
Li Xiaoya stared at him blankly and asked, "Why?"
Sheng Yuxiao felt a bit annoyed.
The village chief's family was practically on their knees begging him not to leave, yet this kid was still asking why?
Sheng Yuxiao lied to her, "Because I gave you clothes and shoes, can you let me stay?"
Li Xiaoya instinctively nodded, then shook her head, "Here... it's not good. Living here, it's not good."
Sheng Yuxiao thought to himself, so you also think it's not good to live here. He immediately came up with a new idea: "Then how about you come and live somewhere else with me?"
This time, Li Xiaoya shook her head more vigorously.
Sheng Yuxiao deflated, "Then just let me stay at your place, alright, don't say anything else." He directly waved his hand, signaling the staff to bring in his luggage.
The barrage of comments erupted again.
[What a classic case of playing hard to get]
[How did this kid manage to lure the young master Sheng here? Impressive for someone so young]
[The village chief got the short end of the stick]
[This is breaking the show's rules, thank you very much!]
[LOL, are you kidding? You're talking about rules with Sheng Yuxiao?]
But regardless of how intense the comments were, the luggage had already been taken inside, and Sheng Yuxiao had one leg through the doorway.
Li Xiaoya couldn't stop him from behind and could only hug his leg.
Sheng Yuxiao looked down, seeing the top of her messy, and thus fluffy-looking, head. He didn't know what came over him, but he instinctively ruffled her hair, then lifted his leg, bringing Li Xiaoya entirely inside with him.
The comment section was stunned.
[Wow, that's some boyfriend material right there]
[Come on, don't be like that. Even though young master Sheng has grown into a tall, strapping lad of over 1.80 meters, he's actually not even of age yet. He'd still be seen in the pediatric ward at the hospital]
Sheng Yuxiao's entrance startled Grandpa Li awake.
While thinking, he couldn't help but grin, turning to look at Li Xiaoya, saying, "Grandpa's going to reward you, going to reward you..."
Sheng Yuxiao couldn't understand a word, the dialect and accent were too heavy.
He reached out to grab the local guide, asking, "What did he say?"
The guide immediately acted as his interpreter again: "Grandpa Li is talking to Li Xiaoya, saying, 'You said they wouldn't come back, but they did.'"
Sheng Yuxiao couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.
No wonder the child didn't even look back at him when leaving the village chief's house. Was it because she knew clearly that they wouldn't come back?
Last night, as she sat in the drafty house, did she, even for a moment, miss the warmth of the hairdryer blowing on her face at the village chief's house?
She clearly knew her future, she probably didn't even dare to imagine it, right?
But how old is she?
Sheng Yuxiao hoped he was overthinking it, so he quickly looked down to see Li Xiaoya's expression.
But she had her head down, her expression unclear.
He could only glimpse her thin fingers clutching his trouser leg, trembling lightly and suppressedly.
Sheng Yuxiao felt a bit uncomfortable. He bent down to grab her small hand, gently rubbing it. The pale blue hand quickly regained its color.
"Aren't you happy that I'm staying here?" Sheng Yuxiao asked her.
Although Grandpa Li couldn't speak Mandarin, he could understand it. His eyes suddenly widened, glaring subtly at Li Xiaoya. This scene was faithfully recorded by the camera worn by the guide.
[Does anyone else think the way Li Xiaoya's grandfather looks at her is a bit off?]
[It's a bit scary, like he's threatening her]
[Come on, you can tell that? It's pitch black in there]
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoya slowly raised her head, looking at Sheng Yuxiao, and said softly, "But I didn't find Aladdin's magic lamp."
Sheng Yuxiao was stunned: "Huh?"
A mixture of confusion and cautious disbelief painted Li Xiaoya's face, making her pale countenance appear utterly pitiful.
She said, "I didn't make a wish to the genie lamp. Why have you come?"
Sheng Yuxiao felt as if something had struck his chest, causing his breath to halt momentarily. As fresh air rushed back into his mouth, it seemed to carry a faint hint of sweetness.
Sheng Yuxiao murmured, "You're so damn adorable."
How could she utter such innocent yet captivating words?
The audience beyond the frame fell into an instant, stunned silence.
