The footbath basin was the most common one, sold for 9.9 yuan. When Ning Xiaoyu placed her feet into the bucket, some water accidentally splashed out, and a few droplets landed on Mu Jiajia’s salted fish pillow.

Mu Jiajia looked at the pillow in her arms and didn’t know whether to continue holding it or throw it away, extremely annoyed. She looked at Ning Xiaoyu in disbelief. How could the other party just dunk her feet on the basin in front of the cameras?

Mu Jiajia couldn’t help ranting in her mind, You’re a female star at the very least! Moreover, a female star whose career is on the rise! You actually dare soak your feet with such disregard for your image?

Although Ning Xiaoyu’s skin was fair and her feet were small and pretty, Mu Jiajia didn’t want to watch the other party soaking her feet! Mu Jiajia even more so didn’t want to be touched by Ning Xiaoyu’s footbath water! She couldn’t have this pillow in her arms anymore. She would throw it away once she got back to her room!

The smile that was plastered on Mu Jiajia’s face instantly became forced.

【Hahaha, I’m cracking up. Comparing saltiness with Xiao Yu? Mu Jiajia is still green.】

【Scary! Even the salted fishes has started competing these days!】

【Involution has reached the salted fish world!】

【You’re learning from me? Okay, you lie down, I’ll soak my feet!】

【As expected of the salted fish king!】

【I’d rather salt myself to death than contend with a colleague!】

【Ning Xiaoyu: Salted Fishes, leave it. I’ll take care of this!】

It would be the beginning of winter soon, and once the season arrived, the weather would cool down quickly. Therefore, Ning Xiaoyu had no problem soaking her feet at this time.

Mu Jiajia forced a smile. “Why…… are you soaking your feet?”

【Because it’s a regimen!】

【Because it’s salty!】

【Sisters, the anchor has come up with jujube, goji berries, and feet soaking! What else can there be?!】

【Why else? Soaking your feet has many benefits.】

Ning Xiaoyu put both hands in the pocket of her clothes. Her answer was very simple, “Comfortable.”

Especially when the weather was cold, soaking one’s feet would warm one up. A footbath basin was a must-have for Ning Xiaoyu in winter. She could have no gloves and no hat, but definitely not without a warm footbath.

After the meal, everyone either went back to their own rooms or went to the garden for a stroll. Ning Xiaoyu ate slowly and most of the time, she was the last guest to leave the table.

At that moment, only she and Mu Jiajia were the ones in the living room. Mu Jiajia stayed to steal Ning Xiaoyu’s popularity, but now she was feeling unhappy.

The water from Ning Xiaoyu’s footbath splashed on her just now. Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still. Not only did she want to throw away the salted fish pillow, but she also had to take a quick shower.

She got up, hastily said “I’m going back to my room”, and left without looking back.

The love system was so excited that it rubbed its hands together. 【Girl, good job! You appear like a big shot earlier with that ‘wash up and sleep’ line!】

After Mu Jiajia left, Ning Xiaoyu slowly took out a tangerine from her pocket.

The program team provided the guests with various foods like milk and fruits, but the audience couldn’t see Ning Xiaoyu on the cameras at all times and had no idea what Ning Xiaoyu puts in her pocket every day.

【Shocker!】

【I’m surprised, Sisters, really surprised!】

【The anchor’s pocket is really a Doraemon’s pocket, it has everything!】

Ning Xiaoyu explained, “You need to hydrate when soaking your feet.” Afterward, she slowly peeled the tangerine and took a leisurely bite.

Ning Xiaoyu finished one sweet tangerine in a few bites and then took out a second one.

【You’re really enjoying yourself.】

【Be a person like Ning Xiaoyu!】

【I get it now! No wonder Xiao Yu always likes to wear clothes with big pockets!】

【You can take whatever you need from your pocket. Go it.】

After soaking her feet in comfort, Ning Xiaoyu went back to her room to rest. At that moment, memes about her began to spread in various groups.

In the beginning, they were only spread on a small scale, but one verified user with a massive following somehow discovered them and posted them on her Weibo.

By the time Ning Xiaoyu woke up the next day, wash up and sleep.jpg was already on the top hot search.

【The expression matches the sentence perfectly.】

【Wash up and sleep, hahaha.】

【Soaking feet.jpg is also very funny. It turns out that female stars also soak their feet.】

【Hahahaha, her expression when eating tangerine is so cute.】

Ning Xiaoyu received a good morning message from Shen Yueyue. It was straight to the point, 【Morning, Xiao Yu. You’re trending again.
 
I didn’t know so many things happened last night. If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone back to my room early!
 
If I hadn’t left, I might have been able to soak my feet and eat tangerines with you. T.T】

Ning Xiaoyu sent a ‘good morning’ back.

She was on the hot search again for soaking her feet? That thought appeared in Ning Xiaoyu’s mind for a second before she forgot all about it.

When she went downstairs, almost all the other celebrity guests were already there.

Ning Xiaoyu ordered braised noodles for breakfast, and after eating, it was time for the director to announce that day’s activity.

The director’s face was full of joy. “Guests, let me tell you some good news. Today, our show is collaborating with 《Hello Dad》. The guests from both shows will have a swap for a few days.”

They would have a swap? What does that mean? The twelve guests looked at each other.

The director explained with a smile, “Today, the dads will be chatting and making friends, while you will be the ones taking care of the children.”

【Hahaha, I remember that Weiwei likes children. She even thought of her future baby’s name in advance.】

【Ah, I’m looking forward to the salted fish taking care of a baby.】

【So how will Xiao Yu take care of a baby?】

【I’m going to sleep, as for you, wash up and go to sleep.jpg】

【Hahahaha, Upstairs, you really know how to use what you learn.】

【Little Friend, don’t make any noise, just eat tangerine. Eating tangerine.jpg】

【Little Friend, want to soak your feet?】

【I’m dying from laughter. Hahaha, hurry up and let them take care of the babies! Immediately! At once! Right now!】

Before long, the staff arrived with six children with an average age of less than four years old.

“There are six children and we have twelve guests. All the adults will draw lots and divide into groups of two.” The program team had already prepared a box for drawing numbers.

Ning Xiaoyu went up and drew a number. She got 3 so her teammate would be the guest who got number 4.

When Shen Yueyue got her number, she looked regretful. “Xiao Yu, I’m number 7.”

Number 8 was Xu Cheng. Shen Yueyue and Xu Cheng weren’t familiar with each other, and this time the two of them had to work together to take care of a child. This day was bound to be difficult.

Ling Zige got number 1 and Ning Yuwei got number 2, so they were a team.

Xi Rui got number 5 and Ji Zhang got number 6.

Mu Jiajia got number 9 and Xue Anzheng got number 10.

The remaining two guests got number 11 and number 12.

The person who drew number 4 happened to be Lu Jingdu.

The love system said sweetly, 【Girl, this must be fate!】

Ning Xiaoyu looked suspicious. “You didn’t do anything in secret?”

The love system immediately replied, 【Of course not! How could I do such a thing? Do you know the ABO^[1]alpha, beta and omega setting?】

Although Ning Xiaoyu didn’t read many novels, she had at least been in the entertainment industry and naturally had heard of it.

The love system continued to say dreamily, 【If this is an ABO world, then you must be a good match.】

In Ning Xiaoyu’s eyes, the love system was just a childish love brain. And she, its host, had never understood the charm of romance, so when she heard its words, she just let out a faint “Oh”.

The love system had a bellyful of words to say, but its host didn’t cooperate at all, so it had no choice but to ship silently by itself.

The babies also need to draw lots.

The second group’s child was a little girl. She looked like a porcelain doll and was extremely cute. Moreover, she was well-behaved and not at all mischievous or spoiled like some children her age.

Her name was Xiangxiang, simple and easy to remember.

After everyone had formed their teams, they decided to take the children to the beach to play.

Everyone in Ning Xiaoyu’s group wasn’t talkative. She was too lazy to talk, Lu Jingdu had a cold personality and didn’t talk much, while Xiangxiang had just arrived in a new environment and was unfamiliar with both of them.

Compared to their group’s silence, the others seemed very lively.

Ning Yuwei held a little boy’s hand, smiling sweetly. “Xiao Wei, what do you want to eat? Sister will get it for you.”

Mu Jiajia asked the little girl in their group, “Shall we lie down and bask in the sun together later?”

This little girl was a spoiled princess at home, and when she heard Mu Jiajia’s words, she said with a proud look on her face, “I don’t want to.”

Mu Jiajia froze for a moment and asked again, trying to sound gentle, “Why not? It’s so comfortable to lie on the beach under the warm sunlight.”

This time, the little girl took Mu Jiajia’s words as air.

They arrived at the private beach at nine o’clock in the morning. The sun wasn’t too strong and the sea breeze wasn’t too cold, making it suitable for children to play outside.

Ning Yuwei got milk and fruit from the staff. She asked Xiao Wei with a smile, “Which one do you like? Or do you want both?”

【Aaahhhh, Weiwei is really gentle.】

【Wuuwuuwuu, Weiwei will be a great mom in the future.】

【Compared to our Weiwei, Ning Xiaoyu next door is simply unreliable!】

Xiao Wei wasn’t greedy. He pointed at the milk and said in his childish voice, “I want this one.”

Ning Yuwei leaned over and handed the milk to Xiao Wei. “Okay. Drink slowly, don’t choke.”

Xiao Wei nodded. “Understood, Sister.”

【This scene is too warm.】

【What can Ning Xiaoyu next door do other than make a spectacle of herself?】

【She’s a joke. Ning Xiaoyu only knows how to eat and eat. Comparing her to our Weiwei is a disgrace.】

The love system hatefully said, 【Girl, all the fans of your cheap little sister are talking bad about you!】

Ning Xiaoyu let out an “Oh”.

【Love System: This is just the beginning, who knows how many points she will get in the end?】

Guests help take care of the children, and at the end of the collaboration, the children would rate the guests assigned to them.

The full score was 100 points, and children could give any score between 0 and 100.

The group with the highest score would receive a gift prepared by the children in advance. The gift wasn’t expensive but it held a special meaning.

Mu Jiajia was having trouble with the little princess.

“Sisi, why don’t we go sea fishing?”

The little princess was digging sand on the beach, ignoring her.

Mu Jiajia’s patience was wearing thin but the little princess had such a big temper so she had to restrain herself. She said in a pleasant tone, “Then you play here. Sister will lie down beside you for a while.”

The little princess put her words into one ear and out the other, not paying Mu Jiajia any attention at all.

Meanwhile, after arriving at the beach, Ning Xiaoyu sat down. The sea breeze brought a salty smell and it was another fine weather.

When she was about to say something to Xiangxiang, the voice of the love system rang in her ears, 【Girl, a guest who doesn’t want to win first place isn’t a good guest.

Hang and beat up your cheap sister and her crazy followers. Win first place along with the movie king and have one more great memory you’ll share in the future.

Do you know what gift Little Friend Xiangxiang has prepared in advance? This gift is really meaningful. However, you’ll only receive it if you get the highest score.

I believe that you can win Little Friend Xiangxiang’s favor in a short period.

You can—

A: Interact more with Xiangxiang and cater to her every need.

B: Enjoy a happy and warm ‘parent-child time’ with the three of you.

C: Do something entertaining with Xiangxiang and quickly shorten the distance between the two of you.】

How could the love system miss such excitement? Although late, a task had been issued as Ning Xiaoyu expected.

She carefully looked at the three options.

Option A would have been fine, but Ning Xiaoyu felt that catering to Xiangxiang’s every need was impossible. What if Xiangxiang made difficult demands? One should know that children have lots of ideas in their minds and are wildly creative. She wanted to leisurely spend the day with the child and didn’t want to give herself trouble.

As for option B, it was even more impossible. It meant she needed to spend more time and energy on building a good relationship between the three of them.

The love system hated that Ning Yuwei’s fans were bragging about how she would be a gentle and patient mom in the future. It didn’t believe it. Its host was the best! Whether it was options A, B, or C— all three were a good choice.

So when Ning Xiaoyu chose option C without much hesitation, the love system rubbed its hands together. 【Girl, so what recreational activity would you choose to do with Little Friend Xiangxiang?】

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t speak, but the love system soon knew the answer.

Its host, actually and unexpectedly, asked Little Friend Xiangxiang to dig sand with her!

What kind of entertainment was this?!

Ning Xiaoyu reasoned with the love system, “Entertainment is something that makes people happy, right? I’m happy and Little Friend Xiangxiang is also happy, so isn’t digging sand considered entertainment?”

The love system racked its brain for a while to find a rebut, but in the end, could only say weakly,【It seems to make sense. This counts!】

Of course, it was. How could it not count?

However, the entertainment activities imagined by the love system include but are not limited to, the male guest carrying the child on his back while running, the female guest singing to the child, and the three of them moving with their legs…… In short, it has never guessed its host’s plan.

The other groups who saw Ning Xiaoyu and Xiangxiang digging sand together had different thoughts.

Ning Yuwei inwardly sneered.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t mix in her social circle, so the other party had no idea that Xiangxiang was CEO Huo’s only daughter and would inherit the entire Huo Group in the future.

It was fine if she didn’t indulge the Huo family’s little princess, but she actually let the girl dig the sand! CEO Huo would be furious. Xiangxiang probably never once played with soil in her life.

Mu Jiajia also found Ning Xiaoyu’s actions hard to believe. But she was soon disinclined to think about Ning Xiaoyu. The sand was full of coarse grains and it wasn’t comfortable to lie on. So she simply sat up, took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, and began to snack.

Ning Xiaoyu’s fans were furious when they saw this scene.

【Is this pushing our Xiao Yu out by imitating her?】

【No, didn’t she already been scared off once? Why is she doing this again?】

【Isn’t it because she’s jealous of our Xiao Yu’s current popularity? There are other big stars in the show!】

Mu Jiajia’s fans were naturally quick to defend their idol.

【What? Only your anchor can eat melon seeds in the entire world?】

【Melon seeds are good, who doesn’t eat them?】

【Jiajia’s child is difficult to handle so she can only eat melon seeds to pass the time.】

While the viewers were bickering and the other celebrity guests were watching the fun, Ning Xiaoyu and Xiangxiang continued digging sand. The main force in digging wasn’t Ning Xiaoyu, but Xiangxiang. Lu Jingdu came over and asked if they needed help. Ning Xiaoyu glanced at the options and after confirming that only she and Xiangxiang were mentioned in it, she rejected Lu Jingdu’s free labor.

After half an hour of digging, the pit was finally done.

Xiangxiang’s eyes were shining brightly. It was the first time she played with dirt like this and it was really fun. She blinked and asked in a milky voice, “Sister, what then?”

Then?

Then, Ning Xiaoyu lay in the pit with only her head exposed. It was uncomfortable to lie directly on the sand but digging a pit like this was quite pleasant.

She didn’t forget to call Xiangxiang, “There’s still space on the side, do you want to lie down?”

Xiangxiang looked at Ning Xiaoyu with bright eyes but shook her head in the end.

Seeing Xiangxiang’s refusal, Ning Xiaoyu didn’t mind. She lay in the pit with her hands casually placed by her side, looking like a peaceful salted fish.

【Here it is again! Classic Xiao Yu! Hahahaha.】

【This peaceful posture is all too familiar.】

【Look at Xiangxiang’s eyes, it’s as bright as a light bulb. Is it an eye-opening experience for you, Little Girl?】

【I’m dying of laughter. The kid probably met someone like Xiao Yu for the first time so she’s curious.】

Xiangxiang was indeed curious about Ning Xiaoyu.

So, this older sister didn’t dig sand just to play with her, but to also lie in it?

It has to be said that although Xiangxiang was small, she had a quick brain.

At this time, Mu Jiajia next door was eating melon seeds when the little princess suddenly bestowed a look on her.

She mercilessly roasted, “Why are you lazy and gluttonous?”

Mu Jiajia, who suddenly suffered a mental blow: “……”

Audience: “……”

Xue Anzheng, who was teamed up with Mu Jiajia: “……”

Ning Xiaoyu naturally wasn’t paying attention to their conversation.

She lay in the sand for a while but still felt uncomfortable, so the viewers watched as she took out a brand new eye mask from her pocket, opened the packaging, put it on, and then lay back peacefully once again.

The whole process took no more than a few seconds.

As expected of the salted fish king!

Probably having learned from her last salted fish sleep, this time, Ning Xiaoyu even brought her own eye mask!
