Beauty crit!
At close range, the audience could see the fair and flawless face under the camera more clearly. Their idol was very beautiful. Despite the close proximity to the camera, there were no flaws on her face, only a perfect beauty that took one’s breath away.
These fine facial features, this soft and white skin… it’s so beautiful! How did she maintain her beauty? Didn’t Yunyun say that she is living in the remote countryside?
How could she stay this beautiful? She already gave birth to a child, ah!
[Where does this peerless beauty come from?]
[My heart freeze when she smiles!]
[It’s so sweet, too sweet. The sweetness comes to attack my heart!]
[The most beautiful scenery in the world is the moment Yunyun raises her eyes.]
[So cute!]
[+1000!]
The girls who admired Fu Yunruo’s beauty then turned to the mirror to look at their own faces with envy. They also wanted to be so beautiful, ah!
But they also didn’t mind staying as they were now. Everyone had their own good points, alright!
When Fu Yunruo looked up again, the audience was already filling the entire screen with a barrage of fancy compliments. Seeing this, Fu Yunruo was a little embarrassed, feeling that the fans were looking at her with a 100-meter-thick filter.
The barrage of comments came endlessly, and the livestream’s popularity value increased exponentially.
Fu Yunruo thought to herself: how curious were her fans about her appearance?
At the same time, prompts notifying incoming gifts kept popping out. In a blink of an eye, Fu Yunruo had received several seas of flowers.
Fu Yunruo hurriedly stopped her fans, “You don’t need to spend any money. Just send me little bamboos if you want to gift.” The little bamboo was a free gift the app gave to users every day, which they could use to give to their favorite streamers. Of course, neither the streamer nor the app would benefit financially from this free gift.
Despite Fu Yunruo’s plea, the audience’s enthusiasm was not diminished. Seeing gifts kept pouring in like a waterfall, she simply turned off the gift feature on her channel.
[Ah, ah, aah!! Yunyun, we are wrong. Please turn on the gift once again!]
[We promise not to flood you with gifts! Only one flower at a time!]
When Fu Yunruo saw these comments, she pretended not to see them. Knowing her fans, there was no way they would be so obedient!
The fans were unable to express their love with gifts, so the comments exploded again, covering the entire screen with a dense barrage.
Fu Yunruo was dazzled by the sight, so she stopped watching and instead started talking to the audience. She looked into the camera and said sincerely, “I have seen all the things that happened on the internet these past two days. I am really grateful for all the things you have done for me. Thank you.” Fu Yunruo bowed.
The fans quickly filled the screen with ‘You’re welcome’ or ‘This is nothing.’
[Bullying my youngest child’s mom is equal to bullying me. How can I bear this anger!]
[If somebody wants to bully my cub, they have to step over my corpse first!]
[Right, right. Yunyun is my child’s mother. How can I not protect you?]
[Wait a moment, Yunyun is my child’s mother, not yours!]
[You want to fight? Come!]
[Come!]
[I’m waiting leisurely for the fight to end so I can deliver the final blow to the winner, haha.]
The fans were fighting hard to claim the position of ‘main spouse’ when several malicious comments suddenly appeared on the barrage.
Before Fu Yunruo had time to react, the fans who were still busy fighting each other had a temporary truce and immediately banded together to crush their common enemies.
[Whose rabid dog runs here to annoy people? Leash your dog, please!]
[Cannot they see whose territory is this? What gives them the courage to come here and make a fool of themselves?]
[The exit is right behind you. Have a safe journey~]
Even on Weibo, Fu Yunruo’s fans were able to beat their enemies into pulp. Now those people dared to come to their territory and make a fuss? What made this situation different from little lambs running into a pack of wolves? Not to mention anything, the fans could easily drown these haters relying on the sheer difference in numbers alone.
When the haters came to Fu Yunruo’s channel, they were very aggressive. But in just a moment, every single of them had been driven away disheartenedly.
The comments section quickly regained its harmony.
The fans also comforted Fu Yunruo and assured her not to take these haters to heart.
Fu Yunruo was their idol; no one could bully her in their watch!
Fu Yunruo thanked her fans again and gained a more intuitive understanding of their fighting prowess.
[So, when can we finally see our cub?]
The audience was not satisfied after seeing Fu Yunruo’s real face. They also wanted to see their cub, ah~
This one comment triggered a wave of echoes. In an instant, the screen flashed with countless comments asking to see the cub.
Fu Yunruo was troubled, as she didn’t want Wenwen to be exposed to the public too soon. Now that Wenwen’s video on the internet had finally disappeared, she didn’t want his face to circulate in the public space again.
The fans understood Fu Yunruo’s feelings as a mother, so they didn’t force this request. However, many of them expressed their regret of not seeing the video before it was taken down.
In the end, the fans took a step back and said that it was okay for the cub to not show his face, but can you let him come and say a few words to them, please?
Fu Yunruo thought about it for a moment and finally agreed. She turned the camera to the beautiful pots of orchids, told the audience that she was going to fetch the child, then walked out of the flower room.
...
As soon they arrived at the flower garden this morning, Fu Yunruo handed Wenwen over to Si Yue before hurriedly running to prepare the livestream.
After seeing Fu Yunruo leave in such a hurry, the two men looked at each other for a moment.
“Mom is in a hurry to work.” Wenwen calmly waved his hand. His mother had to work hard to support the family on her own!
The boy then turned to Si Yue once again and proposed enthusiastically: “Uncle Yue, let’s plant orchids!”
Wenwen still remembered that he had promised Uncle Yue to try growing orchids in the different environments together. Now that they finally were here, it’s time to fulfill the promise!
Si Yue’s eyes brightened. Right! He hadn’t tried growing orchids for quite some time now; maybe he would finally succeed this time!
The two immediately hit it off. Wenwen took Si Yue to a room in the bungalow to find suitable equipment, took out his own child-sized equipment, and then went excitedly to plant orchids with Si Yue.
When Fu Yunruo found them, the two men were already busy planting orchids on the rooftop of the bungalow. Next to them were two orchid seedlings, already planted exactly the same way on a flat piece of soil. The flower bed they made was quite wide but totally empty, saved for the two pitiful, lonely-looking seedlings.
Wenwen pointed to the less robust orchid and said to Si Yue: “This is yours.” Then he pointed to the remaining orchid that looked obviously taller and sturdier than the one next to it, claiming: “This one is mine.”
Wenwen shrewdly made insurance for himself. By claiming the stronger-looking one as his own, even if… even if both orchids died again this time, Uncle Yue’s would surely die first. Like this, he wouldn’t be the one who loses face.
Perfect!
Si Yue saw through the boy’s shrewd thinking, but instead of indulging him, he said: “But I also want that orchid.”
Wenwen’s eyes widened in surprise, “Uncle Yue, you want to fight me over an orchid?” Full of disbelief, he argued, “You are an adult. Don’t you feel ashamed arguing with a child?” What about the principle of respecting the old and loving the young? What about modesty and politeness?
Si Yue said, “I’m your elder. Shouldn’t you honor me?”
Wenwen was stunned.
Si Yue folded his arms, “You refuse to give in for me, so why should I do the same for you? Now you are young and think it’s a given for adults to give in for you, but have you ever thought about the future? When you grow up, no one will indulge you again.”
“…” Wenwen looked at Si Yue and said quietly, “Politeness is a virtue.”
Si Yue casually said, “Politeness is indeed a virtue, but one cannot be polite without a bottom line.”
Wenwen: “…” He was still a child, why was this person reason so seriously with him?
“What are you going to do then?” Wenwen decided to no longer regard Si Yue as his idol. This person even bullied a child!
“A-anyway, I want this orchid. If you don’t let me, I will cry!” Wenwen put his hands on the hip and threatened fiercely.
Si Yue: “…” Think he would be threatened by this?
……he would, though.
Moments later, Wenwen stared lovingly at the orchid he had planted and belonged to him, feeling a great sense of accomplishment. He and Si Yue had exchanged their orchid-growing experiences. By learning from each other’s strengths and making up for the other’s weaknesses, he believed that they would definitely succeed this time!
Meanwhile, Si Yue was still very happy despite his failure to claim the strong-looking orchid as his own. Now that he had changed places, he might be able to succeed this time!
When Fu Yunruo arrived at the rooftop, what she saw was the two men, one big and one small, looking happily at the patch of soil they had turned upside down. Fu Yunruo suddenly had an inexplicable feeling… Somehow, she thought their expressions were very similar to each other. People said that those who got close to ink would get black, and those who got close to cinnabar would get red, which was extremely true.
After Wenwen spent so much time with Si Yue, he subconsciously began to imitate Si Yue everywhere.
“Wenwen.” Fu Yunruo called.
Wenwen turned his head and was happy to see his mother. “Mom!” He ran over. “What about your work? Is it finished?” The boy blinked puzzledly. Had time passed so fast?
Seeing that Si Yue was here, Fu Yunruo was too embarrassed to mention her job, so she took Wenwen downstairs and explained with a low voice: “Wenwen, the fans want to talk with you. Are you willing?”
Wenwen tilted his head. He didn’t even think about it and immediately nodded: “Okay!”
Wenwen was actually very curious about his mother’s livestream channel, but Fu Yunruo didn’t want him to be exposed to the public so early. As a good, sensible boy, Wenwen had always been obedient to his mother. He also always wanted to be a real child, and thus never took the initiative to touch things that shouldn’t be touched at his age. Therefore, despite his curiosity, Wenwen had never seen what Fu Yunruo was like in front of the audience.
Wenwen knew that when his mother was attacked maliciously on the internet, it was her fans who helped fight back for her, so he also wished to thank them for helping his mother.
When Fu Yunruo saw her son’s eagerness, she suddenly hesitated, but she still decided to respect the child’s opinion.
Seeing that Wenwen’s hands and feet were covered in mud, Fu Yunruo first took him to the faucet to wash his hands, feet, and face.
It was at this time that Si Yue came down from the rooftop. Wenwen saw him and called loudly, “Uncle Yue, I have something to do, so the rest of the work will be left to you.” Wenwen puffed his chest and said proudly, “I’m going to work!”
Starting today, he would also be open for business!
Taking Fu Yunruo’s hand, Wenwen ran to the flower shed excitedly.
Oops, after many years without doing livestreams, he suddenly missed it a little!
Fu Yunruo nodded to Si Yue with a polite smile, then quickly walked to the flower shed with Wenwen.
...
Si Yue overheard a bit of their conversation. Were they going to do livestream? Instead of following the two, he calmly took out his mobile phone, tapped on the Panda Live app, and entered Fu Yunruo’s channel.
The channel status showed that a livestream session was broadcasting, and the camera was facing the eldest child. After successfully mutated, the eldest child had also been promoted as the fans’ number one favorite. However, there were not many comments about orchids right now, and the screen was full of ‘nervously waiting’ emojis from the fans instead.
Si Yue didn’t have to wait long. Just a moment later, the camera was moved, and Fu Yunruo’s figure appeared on the screen.
Fu Yunruo adjusted the camera’s angle, ensuring that the lens would only capture Wenwen’s figure from the neck below before she called, “Baobao, you can come in.”
Wenwen calmly walked in front of the camera, then sat on a chair specially prepared by Fu Yunruo.
In an instant, the barrage was full of screams. The fans kept calling their favorite nickname ‘our youngest,’ ‘my cub,’ ‘baby,’ etc… followed with flowery phrases like “Mom (Dad) loves you!”
[It’s my cub, ahhh!!]
The screen was filled black with an endless stream of dense barrages, so much that Fu Yunruo almost suspected that the app couldn’t support the huge amount of data and froze.
After their excitement subsided a little, the fans began to shower Wenwen with fancy compliments. From the tip of his chubby jaw to the shoes he was wearing, everyone couldn’t wait to find the world’s most perfect adjective to describe every aspect of their little cub’s appearance. Even his face, which was safely hidden, did not escape the fans’ display of love.
Wenwen looked at the camera and greeted, “Aunts, Uncles, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, hello! My name is Wenwen.” Wenwen thought that he was giving his most solemn greetings, but when the fans heard his cute and tender voice, their hearts melted into puddles.
They began to scream again: Ah, ah, aaaah!!! Too cute!!!
“Thank you for supporting Mom,” Wenwen made a heart shape with his hands, “I love you!”
At this instant, countless people seemed to be struck by a critical hit. Their heads went blank for a moment, and they couldn’t help screaming inwardly: How can their cub be so cute?
The crowd clamored the cub to talk more. They loved his cute voice!
Si Yue watched the livestream with gusto. Out of habit, he opened the gift menu, preparing to send another pile of lavish gifts. However, he found out that the gifts could not be sent.
Si Yue sent a question: why did you turn off the gift feature?
When Fu Yunruo saw the dazzling golden username, she explained: “I don’t want my audience to spend too much money. If you like my channel and want to support me, it’s enough to leave encouraging comments.”
At the beginning of her career, Fu Yunruo accepted the gifts because she was short of money. Now that her income was stable, she didn’t want the people who watched her channel to spend too much money on her. Fu Yunruo’s main income now was no longer the gifts, but the brand recognition and commercial value of her channel. Because of the huge number of her followers, brands came to Fu Yunruo for endorsement contracts, not to mention other deals like that cooperation with the music diva Liu Zhi. Occasionally, Fu Yunruo also helped Uncle Guo sell ordinary orchids they grew together.
After Fu Yunruo’s repeated persuasion, fans rarely sent her expensive gifts again. Many of them still sent her gifts frequently, but it was either a free bamboo or a one-yuan flower, so Fu Yunruo didn’t turn off the gift feature.
Today, however, Fu Yunruo found that her fans didn’t listen to her…
They might be feeling that she had been wronged so badly and were determined to make it up to her…
Fu Yunruo decided to modify the gift-sending permissions later. In the future, her channel would only accept free bamboo gifts or single flowers worth one yuan each.
Si Yue frowned, but said nothing. Secretly, however, he decided to have a talk with the one in charge of Panda Live later. Let them set his account to the highest authority so that he could override the channel’s setting!
After Si Yue learned about Fu Yunruo’s identity as the Yujuan Yunshu, he could tell that the reason Fu Yunruo started the livestream at the beginning was to make money to raise her son.
Si Yue glanced at the ‘golden halo’ surrounding his username, proof of his identity as the number one gift-sender in the channel. Rounding up, he actually helped support the mother and son!
This realization made Si Yue satisfied. Sure enough, he had foresight. Now that the relationship between them had not been revealed, Fu Yunruo would definitely not accept his child support. But with this livestream channel as the media, it would be different. He could send gifts every day, which could be regarded as providing for his family in a roundabout way.
Wenwen chatted in front of the camera for a while. Seeing how relaxed he was, Fu Yunruo watched silently from the side. After some time passed, she told Wenwen to say goodbye to the fans, then herded him out of the flower room.
The audience let out disappointed voices. They still wanted to continue talking with the cub! They could listen to his cute voice forever!
Fu Yunruo ignored the wailings of her fans. After taking Wenwen out, she returned to the flower room and resumed the livestream as usual.
Seeing Fu Yunruo resume the normal livestream, the audience knew that they couldn’t make her change her mind, so they quickly shifted their focus on the other orchid siblings.
A heated discussion soon emerged. [How is my son today? I haven’t seen him for a few days, and I miss him so much!]
Si Yue watched the livestream for a while. He really wanted to go to the flower shed to see his beloved little eleventh directly, but he was worried that his sudden intrusion would affect Fu Yunruo. After all, his face was very well-known. If he appeared on Fu Yunruo’s livestream channel, another hot gossip would explode on the internet in mere minutes.
But…he really wanted to see eleventh child, ah.
Si Yue’s heart was itching with curiosity.
In the end, Si Yue failed to resist the temptation. After closing the app, he walked to the flower shed.
Si Yue stood at the door and peeped in, but did not hear any movements inside.
“What are you doing looking like a thief here?”
