Chapter 36: Can You Send Me Tomorrow?

Yue Su was not idle either. She had just learned how to use a crossbow, but many techniques were still not mastered, so she naturally had to practice more.

She searched for a target, loaded the crossbow, and shot—none of her arrows hit the mark.

She refused to give up and patted the crossbow.

“I see it worked just fine in Fu Xijin’s hands. Could it be that the production team cheated and gave him a better one?”

Yao Yao said, “…Mom, if you can’t do it, don’t blame the road for being bad.”

Yue Su raised an eyebrow, glaring at her.

“Which country are you from, little traitor!”

Yao Yao sighed and shook her head. “Women, they just can’t take the truth.”

Suddenly, she spotted a figure not far away, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she grabbed the hem of Yue Su’s clothes.

“Mom, a rabbit! A big one! It’s so cute!”

Yue Su looked in the direction she pointed to and indeed saw quite a few large rabbits.

“Even if you like them, it’s useless. I won’t catch any rabbits.”

Yao Yao grinned, “If it’s dead, it’s fine too. Roasting a rabbit is cute as well!”

Rabbits are so cute, let’s eat them quickly.

Yue Su: “…”

[The rabbit: I think I’ve encountered the living King of Hell.]

Yue Su looked down at the crossbow in her hands and raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Should I give it a try? What if I hit it?”

Yao Yao’s face was full of expectation, enthusiastically being her number one cheerleader.

“Mom is amazing, Mom is the best, you’ll definitely hit it!”

Yue Su felt her confidence surge, loading the crossbow and aiming.

The sharp arrow shot out, causing the rabbits to scatter in all directions in a panic.

The rabbits scattered everywhere, making Yue Su squint her eyes in an attempt to figure out if she had hit one.

However, Yao Yao suddenly jumped up.

“You hit it! Mom, you shot a big rabbit!”

Yue Su focused and saw that one of the rabbits had indeed collapsed on the ground.

She walked over and picked it up.

“I really hit it?”

She couldn’t quite believe it.

Yao Yao’s eyes were filled with excitement. “Mom, you’re amazing!”

Yue Su curled her lips into a smile and lightly pinched her little nose.

“One rabbit is enough. Let’s go find Uncle Yuan and ask him to help us roast it, alright?”

“Okay!”

[Wow, I didn’t even see it, how did Yue Su hit it?]

[I feel like something’s not right, but I can’t put my finger on it.]

[Yue Su is too amazing. Is there a beginner protection period?]

[But I swear Yue Su’s arrow wasn’t aimed in this direction. Could it really turn?]

Yue Su carried the rabbit over to Yi Xia’s side, a smile on her face.

Yi Xia couldn’t hide her surprise. “You really hit something?”

Yue Su couldn’t suppress the smile at the corner of her lips, tilting her head.

“I didn’t expect it either. I’m just lucky, I guess.”

Yuan Jin gave her a thumbs-up. “Amazing.”

At that moment, Fu Xijin arrived.

Yi Xia glanced over. “Did Mr. Fu catch anything?”

Fu Xijin lifted the corner of his lips lazily.

“No.”

Yi Xia laughed. “You’ve been outdone by Yue Su.”

Fu Xijin didn’t reply, giving the rabbit in Yue Su’s hand a glance.

“Hmm, impressive.”

Yue Su ignored him, putting the rabbit down and starting to pick mushrooms, completely ignoring him.

He hadn’t thanked her for the help earlier, hadn’t responded to her compliment, and now even though Fu Xijin remained calm, he couldn’t help but feel a little amused by it.

He crouched down beside her, helping to pick mushrooms, and caused the viewers in the livestream to go wild.

[What luck I have, to get to watch the CEO of a hundred-billion-dollar company picking mushrooms for me.]

[I’m recording this, I’m going to replay it over and over.]

[I’ve already thought of a hot search: #CEO Picking Mushrooms#]

The mushrooms Fu Xijin picked, he threw into Yue Su’s basket.

He’d throw one, and Yue Su would throw one right back.

“This is a mushroom called ‘Goose Fungus.’ Eat it, and you’ll be lying flat!”

“Didn’t we say earlier? This is a ‘Naked Cap Mushroom.’ Do you want to go to the heavens?”

“This color is so bright, the fungus has clearly worked hard to grow into something inedible!”

Yue Su couldn’t stand it anymore and snapped, “Fu Xijin, are you trying to be the negative example here?”

Her brows were furrowed with a little fire in her eyes, lively and bright.

The beauty in fury, her features even more striking.

Her outburst made Yi Xia and Yuan Jin freeze, exchanging a glance and not daring to move.

But the man who was being scolded slowly lifted his eyes, his narrow phoenix eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.

“Oh, you didn’t teach me.”

Yi Xia chuckled, “I guess you can’t blame Mr. Fu. Yue Su, you only told us and didn’t say anything to Mr. Fu.”

Yue Su gave a slight smile. “Mr. Fu is busy with work, these hands aren’t meant for picking mushrooms, so maybe you should just rest over there.”

Yao Yao pointed to the side. “Uncle Fu, it’s cooler over there. You should sit over there.”

Fu Xijin: “…”

Although her words were kind, they didn’t quite sound like compliments.

Even Nao Nao said, “Uncle, you should stop picking mushrooms. You might end up eating all of them yourself.”

Fu Xijin glared at her. “I think you’re itching for a beating.”

Nao Nao grinned. “Uncle, you’re wearing such an expensive watch. Doesn’t it seem out of place picking mushrooms with us?”

It’s just not a good fit!

Yao Yao’s gaze fell onto Fu Xijin’s wrist, and she realized that he was still wearing a watch.

“Is the watch expensive?” She turned to Nao Nao and asked.

Nao Nao nodded, whispering in her ear, “It’s enough to buy a two-bedroom apartment in the Third Ring Road.”

She had heard the adults say it, so she didn’t really understand the specifics, but she knew it was expensive.

Yao Yao was a bit confused, but she still exclaimed, “Wow!”

She didn’t know exactly how expensive it was, but it must be quite costly.

She quietly snuck over to Fu Xijin, soft and gentle, “Uncle, my mom is too fierce to you. Let me teach you how to identify mushrooms.”

Yao Yao suddenly realized that her so-called “cheap dad” was actually pretty rich.

She didn’t want to admit he was her dad, but she sure wanted to take advantage of him.

Fu Xijin pinched her little face. “You’re not offering help, you’re just trying to be nice.”

Yao Yao paused, “I’m not trying to be nice, I am nice.”

Fu Xijin smiled lightly. “What do you have to offer?”

Yao Yao said, “I’ll teach you how to identify mushrooms. You give me a gift.”

Fu Xijin raised an eyebrow. “What gift do you want?”

Yao Yao pointed at his watch with expectant eyes.

“Uncle, when you die, can you give me your watch?”

Fu Xijin was silent for a moment. “Even if I don’t die, I can give it to you.”

Yao Yao immediately shook her head. “My mom said we can’t take advantage of others.”

Fu Xijin nodded. “Mm, your mom is right.”

“So, you should wait until you die to give it to me.”

Fu Xijin: “… Fine.”

Yao Yao was delighted, pulling on his sleeve, her little face full of sincerity.

“Can you send it to me tomorrow?”

Fu Xijin’s mood became complex. “Do we have a grudge?”

[Hahaha, I almost died laughing.]

[Yao Yao: The watch I don’t need, but you must die.]

[My mom said I can’t take advantage of others. Uncle, can you die tomorrow?]

[One sentence nearly fried Fu Xijin’s CPU.]

[Good thing she’s not Fu Xijin’s daughter. Otherwise, she’d be a little stormy bundle.]
