Room Snatching

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Han Jiangxue, wondering if this woman thought she had the aura of a leading lady that allowed her to meddle in everything? Wu Yuerou, seeing Han Jiangxue speaking in her favor, nonchalantly added, "Yeah, if it doesn't work, we can switch for one night, and if my son stops crying tomorrow, we can switch back?" [This method might actually work, at least the child won't cause a fuss.] [I wouldn't switch, why should I? Just because he's crying? If everyone starts to fuss, what's the point of having rules for the program?] [It's normal for little kids to be petulant, let's view it rationally.] The corners of Ye Zhenzhen's mouth curled into a cold, disdainful smirk. Were these two now using the children's crying as a means to morally blackmail her? In the entertainment industry, many are skilled at changing their faces like in a Peking opera, but someone as shameless as Wu Yuerou wasn't new to her. Ye Zhenzhen didn't respond to them directly but instead turned to Song Yuchen in her arms, "Son, do you like our room?" Hearing the evil stepmother calling him 'son', Song Yuchen hesitated, then nodded, "I like it." "Do you want to switch rooms?" Song Yuchen shook his little head, "No." Ye Zhenzhen then coldly glanced over at Han Jiangxue and Wu Yuerou, "This is the room my son won first place for, he likes it, and I like it too. My son said no to switching!" She wouldn't switch, absolutely not! Song Yuchen looked at Ye Zhenzhen, and for some reason, he felt that today's Ye Zhenzhen was very different from before. She had changed, and he thought it was a very good change. [In this round, I support Ye Jianjian. She did right!] [Suddenly, I have a new understanding of the evil stepmother. She really respects the wishes of Xiao Yuchen.] [From their recent interactions, I think the rumors are unreliable. Ye Zhenzhen seems nice.] [In front of the camera, everyone acts, especially people like Ye Jianjian.] Seeing his request denied, An Ruilin lying on the ground started to cry even harder. Wu Yuerou tried to pull him up but was kicked away by him, "I won't go, ah~ wuu wuu~ I want to stay in this room, ah~ wuu wuu~" Han Jiangxue gave the impression of being very anxious, but inside, she felt like she was just watching a drama unfold, curious about how Ye Zhenzhen would handle the situation. Ye Zhenzhen slightly raised an eyebrow, looking at An Ruilin throwing a tantrum on the ground. This little brat was determined to carry his performance to the bitter end. Speaking of acting skills, was she afraid? Ye Zhenzhen looked at Song Yuchen in her arms and pouted, her fair face instantly taking on a pitiable look as if she could burst into tears at any moment, "Son, what should we do..." While speaking, Ye Zhenzhen gave Song Yuchen a cue behind the camera, signaling him to cry: Son, cry, cry now! Song Yuchen blinked, seeming to understand. His long black eyelashes drooped as he brewed his emotions for a few seconds, then "Wah~ wuu wuu~" Song Yuchen cried loudly. Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself: Heh, my little bun is so cute, great acting! She crouched down, allowing Song Yuchen to sit on her lap, her face a picture of difficulty, "Xiao Chen, be good, don't cry, why are you suddenly crying..." Prompted by the evil stepmother, Song Yuchen's sobbing milky voice was piercingly pitiful, "I don't want to switch rooms, this is my room, I don't want to switch!" On the ground, An Ruilin's crying halted for a second, and then he stopped, slightly confused. With his face streaked with tears, he sat there, seemingly thrown off by Song Yuchen's sudden outburst, unsure whether to continue making a scene or to cry. "Don't swap then, seeing my little cutie getting all anxious, Little Chen, baby don't cry, don't cry." "What are Han Jiangxue and Wu Yuerou doing? Just because their kid ran into a room first, why should they have to swap?" "My little brother is just like An Ruilin, throws a tantrum and rolls around when he doesn't get what he wants, has to have it his way, really unpleasing." Ye Zhenzhen looked helplessly at Han Jiangxue, "Alright, my son is crying too, what should we do?" Shen Yibo was solely focused on eating and seemed to realize only then that someone was crying. He smiled sheepishly at Han Jiangxue, "Mom, what's wrong with them?" Han Jiangxue avoided Ye Zhenzhen's gaze, patted Shen Yibo's head, and said with a smile, "Ruilin wants to swap rooms with Little Chen." Yet, her inner thoughts were: Shen Yibo, you stop laughing, you should cry too, cry and say you want to swap rooms. Once things got chaotic, they could make the TV show crew rearrange things. Shen Yibo approached An Ruilin, his chubby face serious, "An Ruilin, you can't bully others like this, it's not even your room, it belongs to someone else." Han Jiangxue didn't expect Shen Yibo to say such a thing, she smiled gently and told An Ruilin, "Ruilin, Yibo is right, let's stop making a fuss, okay?" "I have a question, did Han Jiangxue just make Shen Yibo pick the green ball? Did she already know what green represented?" "Don't talk nonsense, please. Can't our little Xue just like green balls?" "Exactly, if we're going there, then Wu Yuerou had An Ruilin pick up the red ball, and Room 5 is more luxurious, it's just a coincidence." An Ruilin blinked blankly and burst into tears again, he felt so wronged, there was no one here to speak up for him. Wu Yuerou went to comfort An Ruilin, with a slight impatience in her tone, "Son, stop crying, if we don't swap, we don't swap, let's go!" She thought, later she will need to find the director to change the room, but not Ye Zhenzhen's, rather the original Room 5 that was supposed to be hers. "Dinner time, please gather at the village entrance, it's time for dinner!" Xiaowen's voice came from outside the courtyard. Upon hearing about food, Shen Yibo's eyes lit up immediately, "Mom, mom, hurry, let's go eat!" He didn't want to delay a moment, eager to eat. "Alright, let's go have dinner." Xu Wanjia and Lin Qianqian came out of their room with their daughter and said to everyone, "Let's go have dinner." They had heard the commotion outside but chose to ignore it, focusing on packing their bags with their daughters in the room. After all, their rooms were also nice, and getting involved might risk losing them. Fang Xiaoyu approached Song Yuchen and smiled, "Little Chen, don't cry now, let's go have dinner together." "Little Chen, be good, no more tears." Ye Zhenzhen let go of Song Yuchen and got up to lock the room door, "Let's go son, we are going to have dinner with Xiao Yu and her group." Song Yuchen saw his room was secure. He wiped the tear stains from his face and happily ran outside with Ye Zhenzhen. It was deep autumn, and Changle Village, being in the South, wasn't too cold. The show crew had set up a canopy at the village entrance, and under the canopy, tables were laid with food. Shen Yibo was the first to get to the table, looking at the plain steamed buns, porridge, stir-fried cabbage, and some pickled radishes, his face initially bright with anticipation and laughter, suddenly drooped, he muttered in a milky voice, "Why is there no meat?" He really wanted some meat! "Hahaha, Little Yibo is so cute!" "He's a little chubby who loves to eat!"
