Then, as if gently, he reached out and patted her head. In her shocked and accusing gaze, he calmly said goodbye to her, turned around, and left.
Feng Shaoyun: “…” She just had to go and complain to her sister-in-law!
…
As for who had caused all this change, Feng Yan was very clear.
However, as he looked at Sheng Xia with slightly softened eyes, all he saw was a serious, black, fuzzy head engrossed in eating.
It’s quite round, actually.
Feng Yan: “…”
When it came to food, Sheng Xia was absolutely devout. Even a slight distraction was considered disrespectful to the food!
So, after getting her answer, she immediately picked up the red sausage in front of Feng Jingxu and ate it.
Feng Jingxu: “…That was the last piece!”
“I know, why else would I take it?”
Unable to argue with Sheng Xia’s logic, Feng Jingxu turned his head angrily. “Can’t you control your wife?”
Feng Yan: “…”
He looked at his eldest son’s gritted teeth expression, then glanced at Sheng Xia, who seemed to be smiling but actually had threatening black eyes. He pondered for a moment, feeling for the first time the dilemma his third brother faced every time he was caught in the middle.
But he had to admit, it was quite novel.
…
The breakfast battleground finally ended with Feng Yan instructing the kitchen chef to bring out another serving of red sausages, evenly dividing them between the two.
Afterwards, Feng Yan took Feng Shaoyu to the company to deal with the follow-up matters of the Feng and Shi families, leaving Sheng Xia alone with the children at home.
Returning to their daily routine, the twins attended their respective interest classes. Feng Jingxu, after his daily training, followed up with a tutor to catch up with his schoolwork.
While the three siblings were exceptionally disciplined, Sheng Xia, as their mother, happily indulged in playing games.
The stark contrast led the viewers in the live broadcast to exclaim, “Wow!”
[Although we’ve known that she’s not the type to hover around her children every day due to her meticulous nature, but… damn, this is too enviable, no, this is too decadent! (Screaming) (Distorted) (Dark crawling)]
[Look at the other live streams, where mothers are all with their children. Only this live stream is refreshingly genuine. I have to switch screens back and forth to see what they’re doing. Thanks to this live stream, my strabismus of many years has been cured, and I’ve successfully developed a squint.]
[Although, this kind of life where you don’t have to do anything and can just lie around without anyone bothering you, I truly envy. Is this the daily life of a wealthy lady? I love it.]
[No, this is the daily life of a lazy person. Look at the next-door Sheng Lanqiu, also a wealthy wife. The two of them seem to be in different worlds, it’s hilarious.]
In the live streams of other guests, Sheng Lanqiu, aside from being deliberately harassed by her mother-in-law, spent almost all day around Shi Yue, who was currently studying.
Actress Tao Rou, busy with filming, was very unfamiliar to her two children. Taking on this variety show was also to build a relationship with them, so naturally, no matter what, they were always together.
TV anchor Bai Jing, confirmed to be a wealthy daughter, spent her days going out and about shopping. But today, she was intercepted by her son, who was more like an adult, and was forced to read incomprehensible brick-like books with a pained expression.
Dancer Le Chu Xin may have the lowest level of fame among the guests, but because of the recent exposure of her secret marriage and daughter with movie star Yin, she had become quite a hot topic.
However, their daughter was obviously spoiled. Despite Le Chu Xin’s gentle nature, she couldn’t suppress her daughter’s temper and was instead bossed around, never seen idle.
—Except for Sheng Xia, who not only didn’t manage her children but also dove into the game room and never came out.
[To be honest, this is the life I dream of.]
[Although other mothers are doing well, I honestly chose to be a lazy fish. Help, watching them study with their children makes me so anxious.]
[But that’s because the twins are very disciplined. Try having Le Chu Xin’s daughter instead? I admit Sheng Xia is fun, but she’s not cut out to be a mother.]
[It’s the modern era, yet people still emphasize being virtuous and devoting all your time to your children to be considered a good mother? I can’t stop laughing, are you all living like ancient relics from the Qing Dynasty???]
Just as Sheng Xia stirred up online controversy again, Feng Jingxu unexpectedly came over holding a game disc.
After getting permission to enter, he saw Sheng Xia curiously propping up her chin and looking over. He cleared his throat and awkwardly said, “Playing games?”
Sheng Xia seemed somewhat uncertain and pleasantly surprised. “Xiao Xu, are you inviting Mom to play games?”
Feng Jingxu nodded with restrained dignity.
“Oh, I won’t play.”
Feng Jingxu: ?
His expression instantly turned fierce. If you weren’t going to play, why did you act so pleasantly surprised just now? She’s teasing him again!!
[Hahaha, I love watching this kind of drama. I hope they, stepmother and stepson, can bond more and play together, more drama!]
[Some of Feng Jingxu’s haters (pointing fingers) are not like me, they only know how to ask Sheng Xia to “dote” more on our brother!]
[Just finished studying and came to play games with Sheng Xia. Should I say it or not, your actions speak louder than words, Feng bking (dog head holding a rose)]
With a sour face, he tried to suppress his temper and asked stiffly, “Why aren’t you playing? Don’t you play games every day as part of your routine?”
“But Xiao Xu admitted before that you don’t care about Mom at all, you’re just greedy for my gaming skills. Mom is still immersed in the sadness of being hurt, so she doesn’t want to let a noob tag along.”
Sheng Xia’s long lashes drooped slightly, casting a small shadow under her eyes, making her appear fragile and melancholic. “This makes me seem very patient, and people might misunderstand me.”
Noob: “…?”
[Help, how did she say such provocative words with this pitiful expression?]
[Yin · Yang · Strange · Atmosphere]
[Learned something new, when you want to be sarcastic to someone, you must use the most innocent and vulnerable expression to say the most sincere words, the effect can be seen from Feng Jingxu. Like/Like/Like]
Seeing that her eldest son was about to leave in anger, Sheng Xia decided to end on a good note and smiled, “Of course, if Xiao Xu could say something nice to Mom to coax her, maybe I’ll consider it.”
She winked at the expressionless Feng Jingxu, showing great generosity. “Or just call me ‘Mom,’ and I’ll play any game with you.”
[Mom! I’ll say “Mom” first to show respect! Please, Mommy, take me to play games. I’ve been wanting to be carried for a long time!!]
[Young people nowadays, just shouting “Mom” at anyone over the internet to cling onto someone. Hmph, not like me, just want to feel like I have a connection with Sheng Xia, want to recognize her as my godmother!]
However, compared to the comments without any integrity, the young top streamer clearly cared about his reputation. He sneered disdainfully and lowered his head slightly towards Sheng Xia. “…I was wrong.”
Seeing no response from Sheng Xia, Feng Jingxu took a deep breath and reluctantly said softly, “I shouldn’t have said those things to you this morning. Can you please, sincerely, play games with me now? Is that okay?”
Comments: Is this your backbone, Feng Jingxu?
“After we went to that post-apocalyptic theme park yesterday, it should have brought quite a bit of attention. My agent got me an endorsement deal with the park and wants me to play more post-apocalyptic games to promote it,” Feng Jingxu ran his hand through his hair impatiently, “I remembered we bought a bunch of post-apocalyptic games when we were out, didn’t we?”
Sheng Xia nodded in realization. “You mean that time you acted like a boss and bought all the post-apocalyptic games in the store?”
“…Yes.”
Ignoring Sheng Xia’s unreliable remarks, he negotiated seriously, “Let’s collaborate. You get 60% of the endorsement fee, and I get 40%.”
“What are you talking about, Xiao Xu? That’s the money you earned from your work. How can Mom take it?” Sheng Xia shot him a reproachful look, then smiled at her eldest son, who was alert and suspicious, “So I only need the 9% I contributed, as compensation for my efforts, is enough.”
Feng Jingxu: “…I knew it.”
[Wow, I have to say, wow. The manipulator is truly a natural capitalist. When Mr. Feng comes over, he might not be able to keep up with your calculations, haha. This couple is really interesting, learning from each other and progressing together, regardless of the victim’s well-being (dog head)]
[She even agreed to give one-tenth to her eldest son! I can’t believe it, I’m crying.]
[Feng Jingxu: In a world where only I am hurt.]
[Building, windows, run!]
Although Sheng Xia didn’t particularly like playing post-apocalyptic games, it happened to be her specialty.
Since her eldest son had requested so humbly, she was willing to give him some face.
The two of them naturally started with the highly praised and recommended “Zombie Paradise.”
From a player’s perspective, the game was indeed well-made, with beautiful graphics. But for Sheng Xia, who had experienced a real apocalypse, it was too boring, especially since it only involved pure sniper operations with firearms, making her almost fall asleep.
She yawned and casually switched to another post-apocalyptic game with low ratings, “Seven Days of Survival.”
As she read through the reviews, she couldn’t help but be curious about how bad this game could be to be criticized as “garbage game, can’t even get started,” “this game is not meant for people, it’s suicide to play.”
However, as soon as the game started, Sheng Xia couldn’t help but sit up straight.
Although the graphics were rough and the characters were somewhat blocky, not like other games where the perspective could be freely switched, it was precisely because it could only be played in the first person that made it more exciting.
“The Seven Days of Survival” was very free in its operation, allowing players to directly control their characters to roll on the ground. The storyline was also extremely realistic.
Players trying to survive the zombie apocalypse could be suddenly attacked by zombies; players trying to loot others could also be robbed in turn; players choosing to build a base would inevitably face a zombie siege…
Therefore, the possible outcomes were also very open-ended.
The reason why the game was criticized was primarily due to its rough graphics and the difficulty in playing in the first person.
Moreover, “Seven Days of Survival” had an extremely high level of difficulty, requiring players to have sharp combat awareness and reaction speed. A slight mistake could result in being overwhelmed by suddenly appearing zombies, making it very unsuitable for beginners.
But for Sheng Xia, it was right up her alley.
She finally became interested and presented the audience with a dazzling visual feast.
