Chapter 516: Seen Through
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Thinking of how angry Guo Ran was at Murong Qiao, Chu Ruobai didn’t plan to stay any longer. She only glanced at the joyous atmosphere in the classroom for a moment before turning to leave.
If the boss saw her and Murong Qiao together, she felt that she would be implicated.
Lu Qizhi looked at Chu Ruobai in confusion. “Why are you leaving so quickly?
“What are you looking at?” Murong Qiao, who had just come out of the classroom, asked.
There was no need to be too tense in elementary school classes. After teaching, she let the children play and came out to look for her Fifth Brother. In the end, she first saw Nan Jin and Lu Qizhi standing at the door.
Lu Qizhi wanted to answer, but Nan Jin beat her to it. “Nothing.
“Do you need any help?” Nan Jin asked Murong Qiao.
He looked at Murong Qiao directly and asked, unable to suppress his urge to
talk.
It was already the third day of filming. It shouldn’t be too much for him to talk to Qiaoqiao… right?
Nan Jin thought uncertainly.
Murong Qiao was stunned for a moment. “There’s nothing you can help with.
Thank you for your kindness.”
She smiled politely and skipped the topic to look at the children who had already come out of the classroom to play.
Seeing this, Nan Jin didn’t say anything else and just stood at the side in silence.
He had never participated in a variety show before. When he came, the person called the scout said that with his face, as long as he stood there, many people would like him. As long as he didn’t do anything out of line, it was fine.
Lu Qizhi:…?
He looked at Nan Jin in confusion and then at Murong Qiao. His intuition told him that the two of them seemed a little strange.
It was indescribable, but it was very strange.
The three of them stood here and the atmosphere was barely harmonious. However, when it came to Xian Yu, it became a little different.
Xian Yu fiddled with the guitar he had brought over and looked at the children sitting around him.
“I’ll teach you how to sing. What do you want to learn?” He then plucked the guitar a few times and asked the others.
The children looked at each other, but no one said anything.
“Why can I read these words on a child’s face: What a scary Big Brother!”
“Visible restraint, hur hur.”
“I originally thought that Big Brother and Little Sister’s affinity was about the same. Moon Goddess’s teaching effect was clearly very good. Why did it turn around two levels on Big Brother’s side? Hahaha.”
“The fierce Xian Yu is also so handsome!”
Xian Yu probably didn’t expect that the first bottleneck of his teaching was not how to let the children sing the right tune or read the lyrics clearly, but to break the stiff atmosphere.
Even the cameraman, who was following at the side, had a bitter expression on his face. He could sense the discord between Xian Yu and the children.
In fact, the cameraman was already thinking about whether Xian Yu would be the least effective guest today.
“…Senior Xian Yu?” Chu Ruobai’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Other than his different attitude towards his Little Sister, Xian Yu had always been too lazy to care about others. Therefore, when he heard Chu Ruobai call out to him, he only responded coldly and didn’t even look up at her.
Chu Ruobai naturally knew Xian Yu’s temper. “Why isn’t anyone saying anything?”
“This Big Brother sings especially well. You can tell him whatever song you want to learn.”
Chu Ruobai deliberately softened her voice and said to the children with a kind and gentle smile on her face.
If Nan Jin was here, he would probably be able to tell that her tone and posture when she said this were imitating Murong Qiao.
“R-really?” There was really a child who had been hooked.
The smile on Chu Ruobai’s face deepened. “A liar’s nose will grow longer.
She said this on purpose and even reached out to touch the child’s head. She endured the discomfort in her heart and revealed a soft smile.
Because of this familiar action, it was rare for Xian Yu to look at Chu Ruobai.
“…I-I want to learn Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” a child said.
Xian Yu naturally replied, “Alright.”
After all, he was here to participate in a variety show. He definitely had a serious attitude towards the mission.
However, Chu Ruobai’s presence here more or less annoyed him. However, the other party had indeed helped him break the stiff atmosphere just now, so Xian Yu had no reason to chase her away.
In the end, such a “special” scene landed in the live-stream and directly aroused a wave of fanatical calls from the couple pairing fans.
“Ahhh, I’m dead!!! As expected, I predicted it! Xian Yu actually didn’t lose his temper at Ruobai!!!”
“And that glance he stole over just now… Could the candy I took from the magnifying glass be real!!”
“It was clearly a normal action, but why did it become candy in your eyes… I’m really speechless. How could Xian Yu like Chu Ruobai??”
“She’s also quite adorable. If I want to kowtow, so be it. But when it came out to walk around, it had to be scolded, right?:
“Xian Yu had an irritable attitude towards everyone, but he treated Ruobai differently this time!!”
Back and forth, Ruobai and Xian Yu’s fans vaguely had the intention of arguing. Among them were also the paid posters that Brother Zhou had bought previously. They kept mentioning that Xian Yu didn’t lose his temper at Ruobai and started spamming the couple pairing on the screen, misleading many passerby fans.
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star…”
Xian Yu was completely unaware of the struggles on the bullet screen. At this moment, his fingertips stopped on the guitar string and he slowly fiddled with it, singing the simplest tune with the child word by word.
Chu Ruobai sat at the side with the other children and slowly shook her head as she followed the rhythm. In the end, she even took the initiative to raise her head and clap her hands, causing the other children to follow suit.
Chu Ruobai took the opportunity when the camera couldn’t capture her and wanted to change her seat to sit closer to Xian Yu so that her fans could create a topic of conversation.
However, before she could stand up and move, her hand was “pinned” in place by Xian Yu’s gaze.
That gaze was too cold and indifferent, causing Chu Ruobai to dispel her original thoughts. She smiled awkwardly and retracted her hand before sitting back down quietly.
Those thoughts and schemes seemed to be exposed in Xian Yu’s eyes, making Chu Ruobai feel embarrassed that her entire being had been seen through.
Helpless, she could only sit obediently in her seat.
However, this was quite good. If others didn’t disturb her, it could barely be considered a world of two people. Chu Ruobai calculated happily in her heart. This way, no matter what small actions she made, as long as there was a chance to interact with him, there would always be the effect she wanted.
In a sense, the place Xian Yu chose was a little remote. It really fulfilled Chu Ruobai’s “wish”.
However, the place was too remote, making it difficult for Murong Qiao to find him too.
The morning passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone had to gather for lunch later. After Murong Qiao completed her class, she simply came to look for her Fifth Brother.
Nan Jin naturally followed. Since Lu Qizhi had nothing to do, he also shouted that he wanted to join in the fun.
“I heard from others that this used to be a pig farm. Later on, it was modified to let children go to school.” Lu Qizhi’s chatterbox attribute flared up again on the way.
Nan Jin didn’t like to talk, and Murong Qiao rarely took the initiative to start a conversation. Therefore, the responsibility of livening up the atmosphere ultimately fell on Lu Qizhi..
