Ch 27: Strange Rapport
Happy Family just started broadcasting and immediately had several trending searches.
#Huo Xinghai’s Biological Mother
#The Youngest Mother on the Entire Internet
#Gu Qingyin’s Skincare Secrets
Many passersby found their way into the livestream through the trending searches. The director, looking at the constantly increasing data in the background, smiled so wide his eyes disappeared.
In comparison, the appearances of the other two families were much more ordinary, or as netizens put it, “normal.” If one had to pick the tallest among the dwarfs, then Huo Xinghai’s rival had a bit of appeal.
Fu Zimo’s family had some capital. His mother was dressed in pearly treasures, with a dignified and gentle appearance, and a slightly plump figure, which made her look a bit fat on camera.
Most of the viewers in the livestream were Fu Zimo’s fans, so not only did they not nitpick, but they also praised her effusively.
They praised Mother Fu for being kind and amiable, without any airs of a wealthy family’s lady, and especially approachable. They praised the villa’s decor for being understated, luxurious, and tasteful. They praised Fu Zimo for being genuine and unpretentious, achieving everything he has today through his own strength, without needing to rely on his family’s power.
Fu Zimo returned from his morning run and performed a scene of filial piety with Mother Fu in the living room. Then, he went upstairs and, while taking a shower, glanced at the netizens’ comments.
He was very satisfied with his performance, genuinely feeling that he could attract a wave of fans, but when he opened Weibo, he found that Huo Xinghai had stolen all the limelight.
After watching the recording, Fu Zimo couldn’t help but sneer. Huo Xinghai didn’t know where he found a mother to act, and acting so ostentatiously, truly courting death.
Before meeting Huo Xinghai, Fu Zimo hadn’t encountered any decent setbacks in his life. He was always the center of the group, and regardless of whether others genuinely liked him, they would flatter him with smiling faces.
But after meeting Huo Xinghai, he repeatedly suffered setbacks.
Huo Xinghai truly didn’t tolerate people he didn’t like, and every time Fu Zimo went to cause trouble, he would be rebuffed until he vomited blood. But he was also stubborn, the more he couldn’t win, the more he wanted to, constantly fantasizing about stepping Huo Xinghai under his feet.
Over time, it became a habit. Seeing Huo Xinghai and not dissing him a couple of times made him feel uncomfortable all over.
At first, only Fu Zimo chased after Huo Xinghai to cause trouble, but after being targeted so many times, Huo Xinghai couldn’t help but feel a fire rising in his heart.
The two openly and secretly fought, hurting the enemy a thousand, and themselves eight hundred. They would rather make themselves uncomfortable than let the other have an easy time. They were well-known rivals throughout the internet.
So, when it was revealed that the two would be on the same show, netizens were rubbing their hands together in anticipation, hoping the two would clash soon.
As a rival, Fu Zimo was very familiar with Huo Xinghai’s situation. Especially after the two completely clashed, he had secretly investigated Huo Xinghai several times.
Huo Xinghai had no mother since he was a child, this was not a secret at all. All his classmates from childhood knew this.
Fu Zimo threw his phone aside, turned on the shower, and suppressed the idea of immediately exposing Huo Xinghai’s lies.
When the heat is higher, when more netizens like Huo Xinghai and Gu Qingyin…
Fu Zimo narrowed his eyes, concealing the gloom in their depths.
This time, he would completely step Huo Xinghai under his feet.
Huo Family Estate.
The mother and son were sitting together eating breakfast. Gu Qingyin had soybean milk, fried dough sticks, and boiled eggs in front of her, while Huo Xinghai had sandwiches, coffee, and mashed potatoes.
Hai Baoer’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Master Huo and Madam Huo have very different tastes. Do you usually eat together often?”
Huo Xinghai put down his coffee cup, and was just about to answer when he heard Gu Qingyin say with a puzzled tone, “Eating together occasionally is fine, right? Adults need freedom. Don’t tell me you go home every day to eat with your parents?” Gu Qingyin was a little disgusted, “Don’t be too clingy.”
Hai Baoer choked and laughed dryly, “Then when you eat together occasionally, whose taste do you cater to more?”
Gu Qingyin was speechless, “You just make whatever you like to eat. No one stipulates that Chinese and Western food can’t appear on the same table.” Wasn’t the example in front of him obvious enough?
Hai Baoer laughed twice, “Madam Huo is truly unique.”
【I’m so envious, when will I be able to achieve food freedom!】
【Who understands! Who wouldn’t love parents who don’t force their children to eat things they don’t like!】
【Urgent! How can I have Hai Baoer’s mom? Waiting online!】
【Hai Baoer: I’m not worthy.】
【Our Hai Baoer is so happy!】
Huo Xinghai’s eyes were smiling, and his tone was proud, “Of course, my mom is one of a kind.”
After breakfast, under the supervision of the production crew, the mother and son returned to their rooms to pack their luggage.
The place they were going this time was an island, so swimsuits and sunscreen were essential. After bringing some changes of clothes, she put a small satchel into the suitcase and was done.
The amount of stuff was so little that it didn’t even fill an 18-inch suitcase.
Hai Baoer couldn’t help but ask, “Doesn’t Madam Huo usually use cosmetics?”
Gu Qingyin’s voice was calm and confident, “I’m naturally beautiful, so I don’t need them.”
Hai Baoer was speechless for a moment. In just one morning, he had several times felt the urge to go back to school, feeling that his hosting skills were not up to par.
Rarely, Gu Qingyin seemed to have a moment of conscience and looked up at him, asking uncertainly, “If I don’t wear makeup, will I look very ugly on camera?”
Hai Baoer nodded subconsciously, but stopped halfway. With Gu Qingyin’s face, she couldn’t be ugly no matter what. As expected, she was willful because of her beauty.
Gu Qingyin thought deeply, feeling that she should still bring a little. She didn’t care about herself, but she couldn’t let her son lose face.
“Wait a moment.” Gu Qingyin got up and went to Huo Xinghai’s room. She found her son, who was organizing his things in the walk-in closet, and asked directly, “Where’s the tinted moisturizer you recommended to me a few days ago?”
Huo Xinghai was a little surprised, “Didn’t you say it was too troublesome and you didn’t want to put it on?” He turned around and rummaged in front of the makeup table, found an unopened bottle, and handed it over along with two boxes of newly bought face masks.
Gu Qingyin took it, “I’m on a show, so I should pay attention a little.” To return the favor, she took the initiative to ask, “Do you need help?”
Huo Xinghai shook his head, “I’ll be done soon.” The reason he was packing slowly was because he was interacting with his fans.
Gu Qingyin nodded and left. Her face didn’t show it, but she felt a little lost in her heart.
She hadn’t yet experienced the joy of raising a cub, and her child had already grown up. There weren’t many places where he needed his mother anymore.
Gu Qingyin secretly made a decision. She must cherish every opportunity to be with her children. When they marry wives in the future, they might only see each other once a year or even every few years.
Five minutes later, the livestream was temporarily closed. Huo Xinghai and Gu Qingyin got into the production crew’s car and headed to the airport to board a plane to the island.
Four hours later, the livestream was reopened. The screen showed the azure sea and white sand beaches.
The three families stood on the beach under the scorching sun, carrying their respective suitcases, their eyes full of resentment.
“Couldn’t we go back to the hotel to put down our luggage first?” The only girl among the three groups complained and acted cute, saying, “This little fairy is going to melt.”
The livestream was immediately flooded with comments expressing sympathy for Tian Tian and condemning the production crew.
The director acted as if he didn’t see it and resolutely carried out the plan, “The three families aren’t very familiar with each other yet, so let’s do a little icebreaker game first.”
Hearing this, Huo Xinghai and Fu Zimo looked at each other and almost simultaneously showed fake smiles, then turned their heads and rolled their eyes.
The comments were immediately filled with hahahaha.
This strange rapport, they’re practically too familiar with each other!
