Bearing the Burden Forward

What do you think is the most embarrassing thing in the world?

Su Qi thought nothing was more embarrassing than her own mother secretly adding her to the QQ Group chat she had created.

After the TV series ended, Su Qi watched her mother excitedly fiddling with her phone.

Just as Su Qi thought something serious had happened, she saw her mother hold her phone in front of her.

He then showed her the chat history in the group he had created, saying to himself, "Xiao Qi, look, you're popular again! This time it's the nickname 'Sword Dancing Girl,' what do you think? Does it sound good?"

Su Qi didn't know how to answer at this moment.

Being secretly logged into your own group chat by your own mom is like having your mom read your gender-bending novel and piracy it—isn't that the same as writing a gender-bending novel and having it read by your mom?

Feeling utterly ashamed, Su Qi just wanted to find a hole to crawl into and sleep forever. But then she heard her mother say, with a perfectly normal expression, "I think it sounds much better than 'Chūhime'. But why add 'Hime'? I really don't understand you young people."

Su Qi thought about how her own titles, one by one, had been popped like balloons by her mother, and not just once, but right in front of her.

I just feel like this world can no longer contain me.

Looking at Su Qi's increasingly red cheeks, Lu Ran thought that if she took another picture of her daughter and posted it in the group chat, she would definitely be given a new nickname: Steam Princess.

However, it was just a thought. Lu Ran only realized after joining the group that her daughter didn't want to become a star. She was just fulfilling her promise from back then and keeping her word.

Su Qi silently took her mother's phone and pretended to look through it seriously, trying to hide her embarrassment.

There was some good news that made Su Qi quite happy: her mom group level was 3, which meant that she had only been in the group for two or three days.

However, as Su Qi flipped through the pages, she made a new discovery.

My mom seems to be quite active in this group; she participates every few pages.

Moreover, after watching for a while, Su Qi discovered the most important element: there was a symbol on her mother's profile picture every time she spoke.

How could Su Qi, as the Group Master, not know that symbol!

Isn't that the Dragon King?!?

Su Qi opened her mother's photo album again and found a considerable number of heavily edited photos of herself dancing or taken secretly during her university days. She looked up and met Lu Ran's smiling eyes.

At this moment, Su Qi, who had never experienced death before, tasted the bitterness of death for the first time.

Unbeknownst to Su Qi, who was on the verge of death, the sword-dancing video from the TV series she watched was currently circulating online.

It is also spreading rapidly online.

Not only young users on Bilibili, but also many mothers fell in love with this lively, cute, and innocent little girl at first sight through this TV series.

Many netizens pointed out that this was Brother Qi, and incidentally, even his previous Bilibili video seemed to have a hint of the "Warm Heart" vibe.

However, with praise comes the presence of keyboard warriors. These unreasonable online trolls, unable to shake their habit of criticizing everyone they meet, complained that the makeup was too heavy and the photoshopping was too obvious. So, Director Zhang boldly released the unedited video. Seeing how captivating the video was even without special effects, the popularity of "Happy Heroic Couple" rose to another level.

Even Director Zhang didn't expect that the final popularity of the TV series would depend on a little girl's sword dance.

However, Director Zhang's move has also made more people curious about Su Qi's identity. After all, Su Qi has never appeared on screen before.

For a time, netizens were all trying to figure out Su Qi's identity. In this fast-paced online world, nothing stays secret forever. In addition, Su Qi had already caused quite a stir in Su University's Tieba, so soon a lot of information was circulating online.

However, at this moment, another major piece of news broke through the ranks of old news.

Someone from the film crew posted a photo of Su Qi timidly tugging at Su Siyang's clothes when she first came to the set. The caption read, "Su Qi is Su Siyang's sister."

Because Su Siyang is a celebrity, netizens flooded Weibo with comments tagging him. Su Siyang Su Siyang Su Qi didn't want to debut in the entertainment industry. Looking at that photo, he wondered if she wouldn't acknowledge them as siblings.

If there's a relationship, wouldn't rumors eventually turn into a scandal?

Thinking about the rumors about him and his sister, Su Siyang glanced at Su Lujun beside him and slapped him.

I shuddered.

They had no choice but to admit that this was their own sister.

Let's talk about the advantages of having a beautiful younger sister for an extremely handsome male celebrity. Previously, Su Siyang's fans were mostly female. However, ever since he confirmed to his fans on Weibo that Su Qi was his sister...

Countless men followed him and left comments in his comment section. "Brother-in-law."

Su Siyang never dreamed that one day he would have to use his sister to earn his online traffic.

Countless directors have called him, wanting him, as her brother, to cast Su Qi in their films, but he has refused them all.

Su Qi, who is currently at the forefront of the internet trend, is completely unaware of these matters.

At this moment, she is wearing bunny pajamas and holding a rolling pin, forced to work.

You asked her what she was doing?

A: To showcase my talents to my own mother.

However, Lu Ran repeatedly played the dance video sent in the group chat, but it still wasn't enough.

Besides, my own daughter is right in front of me; what's the point of watching a video if I can't watch it live?

And so, this scene unfolded.

Su Qi bent over backward and thrust out a rolling pin, her beautiful figure fully displayed beneath her rabbit pajamas.

Especially her two little bunnies, even with the support of a bra, still jiggled up and down during the position.

Down below, she seemed a bit more lively.

Lu Ran was surprised to learn that her daughter could also wield a sword, and could only sigh that Su Qi had kept it a secret for so long.

Looking at his daughter's supple waist and delicate face, Lu Ran felt it would be a loss if she were to end up with some rich kid.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Su Qi stop her sword dance and throw down a...

"Mom, I can't jump anymore!" and ran to the toilet.

Lu Ran belatedly realized that her daughter hadn't finished visiting all her relatives yet—what a blunder!

Lying on the bed in the bedroom, Su Qi, still recovering from another bout of blood loss, stared at her 5 depleted Stamina Value points and fell into deep thought. Why did her stamina seem to be recovering so slowly?

Having just given birth, Su Qi was immediately embraced by her mother. After an afternoon of shopping, she quickly fell into a deep sleep in this warm, soft, and reassuring embrace.

Little did they know that she was soundly asleep.

At this moment, on the Taihang Mountains.

Lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, illuminating the entire night as if it were daytime. Then came the deafening sound of thunder, and large raindrops fell along with the thunder. The rain pattered on the ground, but it was no louder than the shouts of the soldiers.

At this moment, countless soldiers in uniform are working tirelessly in front of the dike, piling up sandbags to prevent it from collapsing, while chanting military songs.

They had no rain protection and were left to be battered by the rain carried by the strong wind.

He was covered in mud and rainwater, looking extremely disheveled, and every muscle on his body was strained and looked extremely ferocious.

Yet no one complained of hardship or fatigue; the melodious military songs rang out loudly in the night.

They weren't from the same unit, not from the same branch of service, and even spoke different accents, yet at this moment they all shouldered a shared mission—flood control.

A villager living in the Taihang Mountains of Henan was sent to a nearby city by a soldier.

He looked at the city, brightly lit as always, and thought of the soldiers who had been working tirelessly in the darkness just moments before.

I couldn't help but sigh:

There is no such thing as a peaceful and carefree life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you!
