He's so tired, he doesn't want to take care of this little stepfather anymore. (orz)
Su Huaiming looked down at Fu Xiaoxiao, whose expression was conflicted, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
With Fu Xiaoxiao's IQ, she thinks she can outsmart him?
Fu Xiaoxiao's head was throbbing, and she couldn't understand how things had turned out this way. She shook her head and tried to lie down on the sofa.
Having finally seized the opportunity, Su Huaiming wanted to teach Fu Xiaoxiao a lesson, so he continued, "My legs hurt, I don't want to walk, carry me back to my room."
Fu Xiaoxiao looked up at Su Huaiming, completely dumbfounded. "I... I can't carry you."
"How could I not be able to carry you?" Su Huaiming imitated Fu Xiaoxiao's tone, frowning as he said, "You're just deliberately bullying me!"
"I didn't," Fu Xiaoxiao said pitifully. "You're so big, how could I possibly carry you?"
As if remembering something, he couldn't help but shudder, and with a chubby little hand, he slapped the sofa hard, saying with lingering fear, "I'll get pooped on!"
Upon hearing this, Su Huaiming almost couldn't help but laugh. He coughed lightly to compose himself, "No, I'm just a child."
"You're not a child!" Fu Xiaoxiao stamped her foot. "You're an adult!"
"No, you're an adult now," Su Huaiming corrected.
"I, I, I..." Fu Xiaoxiao stammered, unsure how to express her thoughts, and broke out in a sweat.
Su Huaiming countered, "Do you think being an adult is easy?"
Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously. "It's not easy at all."
"Do you still want to be an adult when you grow up?"
Fu Xiaoxiao said without hesitation, "I don't want to be an adult anymore!"
Su Huaiming raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "You wish."
Seeing Fu Xiaoxiao looking so pitiful, Su Huaiming Fu Xiaoxiao, remembering her previous temper, immediately suppressed his sympathy and deliberately said, "If you don't agree, I'll..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Huaiming expectantly, hoping he would stay on the ground and not get up.
That way, he can eat cake, drink milk tea, and play games on the side, just like his stepfather!
Su Huaiming deliberately dragged out his words, causing Fu Xiaoxiao to sway from side to side, before saying with a smile, "I'll always be a child!"
He crossed his legs and said leisurely, "I suddenly realized that being a child isn't so bad."
He showed no awareness of being an adult and wasn't afraid of being laughed at, "From now on, you'll be the adult, and I'll be the child."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao's little face immediately scrunched up, but Su Huaiming preemptively said, "You're an adult now. How can an adult cry? Quickly go get me another glass of water, or I'll throw a tantrum."
Fu Xiaoxiao, whose spellcasting had been interrupted, looked miserable as she held her cup and went to pour water for Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming finally calmed down for a while, sitting on the sofa like a grandpa, watching TV and eating cake, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Su Huaiming with envy, feeling particularly regretful, and realized how difficult it was to be an adult.
Fu Xiaoxiao wasn't the type of child who could endure hardship. He sniffed, his eyes red, and ran to find the director.
"Director Uncle~" Fu Xiaoxiao looked like a wilted blade of grass after being battered by wind and rain, and said pitifully, "Can we end it now? I don't want to be an adult anymore."
The director recalled the way Su Huaiming and Fu Xiaoxiao had interacted earlier and really wanted to laugh, but seeing Fu Xiaoxiao's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
The director glanced at Su Huaiming, and after receiving his hint, deliberately coughed twice, saying in a serious tone, "No, according to the rules, the role swap can only end before dinner."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao looked as if the sky had fallen, and collapsed onto the sofa, her small shoulders and back feeling crushed by the weight of life.
Waaaaah, someone please save him! Being an adult is so hard! T^T
Chapter 47
After being repeatedly rejected by the director, Fu Xiaoxiao felt hurt and was about to burst into tears and throw a tantrum on the ground when a chill ran down her spine. She realized that she was now an adult and could not behave like that, so she pouted and stopped crying.
Fu Xiaoxiao is a typical bully at home. He is polite to outsiders, but he is fearless with those close to him. Although he already knows how formidable Su Huaiming is, he spends every day with Su Huaiming, and Fu Xiaoxiao is not at all reserved in front of him, revealing his little temper.
Fu Xiaoxiao ran over and climbed up on the sofa, standing slightly taller than Su Huaiming.
This gave Fu Xiaoxiao a certain powerful confidence. He put his hands on his hips and said in a disciplining tone, "Go and tell the director right now to stop. I don't want to continue!"
Su Huaiming turned to look at Fu Xiaoxiao. To make her look more imposing, Fu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows into a V-shape and puffed out her cheeks, imitating Fu Jingfan's dignified and imposing manner. Unfortunately, she overdid it and it looked more like she was making faces.
After staring at each other silently for three seconds, Su Huaiming frowned slightly and gave a mocking snort, "I'm just a child, how dare you yell at me!"
Under Fu Xiaoxiao's stunned gaze, Su Huaiming threw away the cushion in his arms, fell backward abruptly onto the sofa, and trembled all over without any spirit, patting the sofa with his hands.
Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned by the scene, thinking that Su Huaiming had suddenly gone mad. She cautiously moved closer and gently poked Su Huaiming's shoulder with her finger, "I, I was wrong, it was my fault, I'm sorry, I won't let you go beg the director uncle anymore..."
Fu Xiaoxiao panicked, her words became incoherent, and her apology was delivered very fluently, completely devoid of her previous arrogance.
Su Huaiming got his wish, smoothed his hair with his hand, sat up from the sofa, and without any excessive emotion, continued to hug the soft pillow, eating snacks and watching TV, feeling quite comfortable.
Fu Xiaoxiao was completely frightened and obediently sat to the side, letting Su Huaiming do as he pleased.
Of the five adults present, Su Huaiming was the most relaxed; the other four were practically going crazy.
Yu Ruicheng is extremely socially awkward. He was already uncomfortable in front of the camera, and having to do strange things with his younger brother and talk to the furniture while enduring the embarrassment was driving him crazy.
Zhou Hanyan and Sun Siyuan were childishly bickering, while Jameel stood in front of them, looking extremely worried. She coaxed Zhou Hanyan Sun Siyuan, acting like a true parent.
Ji Youyou is a thoughtful and obedient child who takes good care of her father, but she is too young and doesn't have much strength in her hands. Ji Mingzhe follows behind her with great concern, afraid that Ji Youyou will get hurt.
In contrast, Su Huaiming, sitting leisurely on the sofa, seemed to be living a life of paradise.
This scene was so absurd that after netizens heard the news, they flooded into the live stream, causing the video to freeze eight times in one minute, almost crashing the platform.
[What the hell?! Do you guys even know what you're doing?!]
[Haha, when it comes to using magic to defeat magic and dealing with unruly kids, Su Huaiming is still the best!]
[Being a naughty kid is so much fun!]
[Hilarious! Fu Xiaoxiao is full of mischievous ideas. She thought being an adult would be fun, but it turned out to be so miserable. This suicide mission was so well done!]
[Su Huaiming's soulless, fake brat act is so cute! Where can I pick up Su Huaiming?]
[Su Su would be even cuter if she acted cute! Damn it, I have to find a way to get him back!]
[I'm so envious of Fu Jingfan; I dream of having a beautiful wife!]
The director also realized that he was losing control of the situation, but since the rules had already been stated, he couldn't go against them, so he could only grit his teeth and let the experiment continue until dinner.
When the director announced the end of the experience, Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan collapsed onto the sofa, sprawling out in all sorts of positions, disregarding their image.
Yu Ruicheng rushed into his room without looking back. He needed to shut himself away for a while before he could adjust his mindset and regain the courage to face people. Yu Xuanxuan was still immersed in ecstasy and followed her brother back to his room.
Ji Mingzhe is usually mature and steady, but the afternoon's activities moved him to tears. He immediately took his daughter back to the room to video chat with his wife, wanting to show off his experience.
Fu Xiaoxiao and Jameel, the two little ones, were exhausted from being tossed around by their temporary child. They lay limply on the sofa, kicking each other's faces with their little feet.
Zhou Hanyan buried his head in the sofa, gradually becoming breathless. He turned his head and saw Su Huaiming.
Looking down, one could see Su Huaiming's slender neck and smooth jawline. His features were delicate, with a touch of languor in his eyes. His eyes were round, but the corners of his eyes curved slightly upwards, exuding a charm that was both innocent and alluring.
From this unflattering angle, Su Huaiming's appearance is flawless!
Zhou Hanyan was so engrossed in watching that her breathing became light. In a daze, she felt that Su Huaiming was a beauty who had stepped out of a painting, so beautiful that she dared not make a sound to disturb him, for fear that he would disappear.
Zhou Hanyan was bewitched and stared blankly at Su Huaiming, momentarily forgetting his identity as a hater.
But at that moment, Su Huaiming picked up the bag of potato chips, tilted his head back, and poured the chip crumbs into his mouth without any regard for his image. He opened his mouth so wide that it seemed he could bite a child in one bite.
Zhou Hanyan: "..."
He angrily withdrew his gaze, trying to excuse his earlier thoughts.
Beauty is also beauty lacking a solid brain!
Besides, good looks don't put food on the table!
Su Huaiming was unaware of Zhou Hanyan's complex feelings. After finishing the last bag of potato chips, he clapped his hands, stood up, and realized that he was the only survivor in this identity swap.
Is it really that tiring?
The director also realized how hard they had worked, and quickly asked the staff to prepare their dinner.
Su Huaiming smelled the aroma of food, his Adam's apple bobbing uncontrollably. He called to the person sprawled on the sofa, "Get up, it's time to eat."
Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan were so exhausted that they couldn't move a single finger.
It's not that I have no energy at all, it's mainly that I'm mentally exhausted. There's also a kind of peace that comes after being tormented, a sense of having no desires or wants. I just want to lie here until the end of time.
Sun Siyuan waved his hand and said, "You go eat first, I'll rest for a while longer."
Su Huaiming looked at him strangely.
Sun Siyuan is a very picky eater, but he loves to eat. In the past, when it was time to eat, he and Sun Siyuan were the most enthusiastic among the adults. He had never seen Sun Siyuan so calm under the temptation of delicious food.
Seeing that neither of the adults wanted to move, Su Huaiming went to ask Fu Xiaoxiao and Jameel. The two little ones were fast asleep, their faces flushed with a healthy blush.
Su Huaiming covered them with blankets, then knocked on Yu Ruicheng and Ji Mingzhe's doors, telling them to wait a little longer.
Su Huaiming stood with his hands on his hips in the empty living room, completely bewildered. He muttered to himself as he walked to the dining table, where he could only enjoy his meal alone with tears in his eyes.
After Su Huaiming had almost finished eating, Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan, like zombies, dragged themselves over, slowly picked up their chopsticks, and ate without any spirit.
Seeing that everyone was not in good spirits, Su Huaiming took the initiative to save food for them.
When Fu Xiaoxiao woke up, before she had even fully opened her eyes, she was already licking her lips incessantly from hunger. Seeing this, Su Huaiming went to heat up some food for her.
Fu Xiaoxiao was a little glutton; she was so hungry that she grabbed the chicken leg with her hand, opened her mouth wide, and took a bite.
He was enjoying his meal when, for some reason, he suddenly said, "I want some grilled chicken wings."
"No." Su Huaiming was playing on his phone, but managed to take a moment out of his busy schedule to hand Fu Xiaoxiao a tissue.
After being rejected, Fu Xiaoxiao pouted in dissatisfaction, about to throw a tantrum, when she suddenly remembered what happened that afternoon. She seemed to freeze, blinking before swallowing back her words, and simply said, "Can I eat it another day?"
"Okay," Su Huaiming said. "I'll have the chef cook it for you when we get home."
Fu Xiaoxiao nodded immediately, as if afraid that Su Huaiming would change his mind.
Seeing that Fu Xiaoxiao was eating meat, Su Huaiming picked up a few pieces of vegetables for him and said, "Eat these."
With her mouth full of meat, Fu Xiaoxiao looked pitifully at the chicken leg for a few moments, then obediently picked up her chopsticks and finished all the vegetables that Su Huaiming had put on her plate.
His behavior was completely different from a few days ago. If the housekeeper and nanny saw this, they would probably be so shocked that their eyes would pop out.
