In the evening, Little Taotie waved to Hua Jinyan, and the two kids entered Little Taotie’s room. Little Taotie beamed, "We’re going to video chat with Xiao Xian and watch Little Puppet together."
Hua Jinyan narrowed his eyes, "Okay."
Xiao Xian was thrilled to start the video call. When he saw the two faces in the video, he froze for a moment but soon broke into a smile and greeted, "Hello, Hua Jinyan."
Hua Jinyan glanced at him and replied, "Hello, Xie Yixian."
Little Taotie felt the atmosphere was a bit strange but didn’t pay much attention to it, urging, "Xiao Xian, where’s Little Puppet?"
Xiao Xian picked up Little Puppet and smiled, "Here, say hello to your lifesaver!"
Throughout, Hua Jinyan didn’t interrupt, just listening to them talk, from Little Puppet’s clothes to what kind of cat treats Little Puppet likes, then discussing Little Lion’s mischief and greedy mouth. The two chatted about the little cats as if they had endless topics.
Little Taotie’s alarm rang, and she somewhat reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Xian, "I need to go to my live stream now, I have an appointment with my fans, so I’m saying goodnight to you first."
"Okay, goodnight, Little Taotie."
"No! You should call me Little Auntie!"
Xiao Xian ignored her demand, smiling and waving Little Puppet’s little paw, "Say goodbye to your lifesaver!"
After ending the video call with him, Little Taotie turned to look at Hua Jinyan, who was looking down, deep in thought.
"Hua Jinyan!" Little Taotie called out, and he finally looked up.
"What’s wrong, are you tired?" Little Taotie asked with concern.
Hua Jinyan nodded, "Perhaps."
"I’m about to start my live stream, do you want to keep watching here?"
"I’ll watch for a while."
"Alright, then I’ll sit across from you, can’t have you in the shot."
Little Taotie started the live stream, encountering a moment’s lag.
She stared at the online viewer count, stunned, "So many people!"
[Zaizai! Good evening!]
[Zaizai is so cute, adorably dopey!]
[Zaizai, hello, I’m your new fan!]
[Zaizai, has studying been tiring lately? Do you enjoy learning?]
Little Taotie snapped back to reality and waved at the camera, "Good evening, everyone."
"I really enjoy studying, my classmates are all very nice to me."
She sighed like a little adult, "I’m just feeling a bit sad today."
[What’s made you sad, tell us so we can cheer you up?]
[Upstairs! What’s wrong with you!]
[This schadenfreude guy, must be a hater, right?]
[Zaizai, what made you sad today, tell mommy!]
[Has someone been bullying you?]
Little Taotie pinched her cheeks and widened her eyes at the camera, "Today someone called me the poster child of the slightly overweight."
[That’s such a sad thing, but I really want to laugh!]
[Zaizai, you’re still young, a bit of chub is healthy!]
Little Taotie grumbled, "Do you guys also think I’ve gained weight?"
She pinched her little belly, reminiscing about her time in the mountains when she was all skin and bones, with no belly at all!
"No way!" Little Taotie suddenly stood up, fists clenched.
[Is Zaizai planning on dieting?]
[Is Zaizai thinking of eating less?]
[No way? Can’t eat anymore?]
[Has Zaizai decided to slim down, leaving obesity behind?]
[Is Zaizai planning to leave the slightly overweight world?]
Little Taotie, stern and serious, proclaimed, "Starting tomorrow, I’m going to add a hundred more punches!"
[Puhaha, thinking she’d eat less is impossible!]
[Laughing so hard, Zaizai you’re so cute!]
