Chapter 44: Bizarre Program


    After dinner, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ying, and Xiao Li continued to drink and chat, while Xiao Yan stood up and spoke to Xiao Zhan.


    Father, Ill go and prepare things with the others.


    Oh, go ahead.


    Xiao Zhan waved his hand lightly, and Xiao Yan nodded. He then came to Qing Lins side, crouched down, and spoke softly.


    Little Qing Lin, would you like to go and have fun with me?


    Mmm!


    After spending the whole day together, Qing Lin hadpletely let go of her guard against the Xiao n. She happily nodded when she heard Xiao Yans words.


    Seeing this scene, Xiao Yings eyes were filled with deep satisfaction, and even Xiao Li showed a rare gentle expression.


    Parents of Qing Lin, please rest assured.


    Your daughter is doing well.


    Hey, what is Xiao Yan preparing?


    Nn Yanran looked at Xiao Xuner and asked. Xiao Xuner raised an eyebrow slightly, looking somewhat displeased as she nced at Nn Yanran.


    Miss Nn, I have a name, and dont you think its impolite to call me hey?


    Then should I call you little sister Xuner?


    You can still call me hey. Xiao Xuner responded without hesitation, then answered, Every year, the Xiao n prepares a fixed program for the evening, and we, the younger generation, are in charge of the preparations. We call it the New Years Eve G.


    New Years Eve G?


    Nn Yanran furrowed her brows tightly.


    What is that?


    While Nn Yanran was thinking, Xiao Yan had already held Qing Lins small hand and arrived at the entrance. He turned around and looked at the two.


    Xuner, little foodie, lets go.


    Coming!


    I already told you not to call me a little foodie!!!


    The group of them yfully and noisily arrived at the Xiao n courtyard. The leftover food from the lunch tables had been cleaned up, the tablecloths had been reced, and the previously dirty floor was now clean. The young members of the Xiao n were gathered around a wooden tform covered with a red carpet, discussing something.


    Xiao Yan is here!!!


    Someone shouted, and immediately the young members of the Xiao n surrounded Xiao Yan. This excited scene made Qing Lin, who was being held by Xiao Yan, cling to his waist, afraid to let go. Even Xiao Xuner and Nn Yanran were pushed to the side.


    Look at me! Look at me! My performance is absolutely indispensable tonight!


    You idiot! What kind of ridiculous program is that? Smashing bricks? Only someone like you coulde up with such a garbage program!


    But these are titanium alloy bricks! Not anyone can smash them!


    Then how can you call them bricks?!


    Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by the young members of the Xiao n, wore a helpless expression on his face. He turned to Xiao Yu, who happened to be walking towards them from outside the crowd.


    Sister Xiao Yu, take Qing Lin out first.


    Okay.


    Xiao Yu responded and immediately reached out to pull Qing Lin out of the crowd. She gentlyforted Qing Lin, who was slightly frightened, and looked at Xiao Yan, who was being surrounded by the young members of the Xiao n, with a helpless smile.


    Its like this every year.


    Thats true.


    Xiao Xuner smiled with her hands behind her back, watching the scene. Nn Yanran, on the other hand, was somewhat confused as she pointed at Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by the young members of the Xiao n.


    What are theydoing?


    The Xiao ns New Years Eve G is performed by us, the younger generation, every year. But due to time constraints, only a limited number of performances can be included each year, and its up to Brother Xiao Yan to decide who gets to perform.


    Xiao Xuner answered, and with Qing Lin in her arms, she added, Usually, as long as theres enough time, Xiao Yan will try to let everyone perform on stage. After all, everyone has spent a long time preparing their performances, and Xiao Yan himself doesnt have the heart to cut them off. Xiao Yu joined in.


    However, there are always a few extremely bizarre performances every year that Xiao Yan cant help but include


    Extremely bizarre performances?


    A big question mark appeared in Nn Yanrans mind.


    After staying at the Xiao n for these few days, she had gradually gained some understanding.


    The entire Xiao n is indeed a peculiar family, and the performances that can make this peculiar family feel peculiar must be incredibly bizarre. With such thoughts in mind, Nn Yanran became curious and couldnt help but want to see the peculiar program mentioned by Xiao Yu.


    Just then, an excited voice rang out, My masterpiece isplete!!!


    Nn Yanran looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Mei entering the Xiao n courtyard from outside, holding a stack of papers and running towards Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by the young members of the Xiao n.


    Meier! Xiao Yu suddenly called out, stopping Xiao Mei in her tracks. With a perplexed look, Xiao Mei approached Xiao Yu as he waved his hand, Come over here first.


    For some reason, the tone of Xiao Yus voice made Nn Yanran feel somewhat speechless?


    As Xiao Mei approached, Nn Yanran noticed something and raised an eyebrow. They had only been apart for an afternoon, but why did Xiao Mei look so exhausted? Even dark circles had appeared under her eyes.


    As Xiao Mei reached them, Xiao Yu had aplex expression on his face as he extended his hand towards her.


    Let me see your script.


    Oh! This is my proud masterpiece!


    Xiao Mei handed over the script to Xiao Yu with great pride, tilting her head up with a nose in the air.


    [Main characters: Xiao Yan (male protagonist), Xiao Mei (female protagonist), malicious supporting characters: Xiao Xuner, Nn Yanran, Ya Fei, and the shameless supporting character Xiao Ning, who should not exist in this world.]


    [The story tells of the gentle and weak female protagonist gradually sinking into a low point of life under the oppression of the malicious supporting characters and shameless supporting character.]


    [Just at that moment, the male protagonist, who is devoted, decisive, gentle, and faithful, descends from the sky and drives away all the filth surrounding the female protagonist, leading the male and female protagonists towards a happy and blissful new life]


    Hiss


    Before she could finish reading, Xiao Yus eyes went nk, and he closed the script with an expressionless face, tearing the thick stack of papers in half and casually tossing it on the ground.


    Oh no!!! My masterpiece!!! Xiao Mei eximed as if the sky had fallen, weakly falling to her knees and sobbing as she looked at the pieces of paper on the ground. It took me three months toe up with this masterpiece


    Three months I knew something was off during that time when you were asionally absent-minded. Were you thinking about these things while you were training in the back mountain? Xiao Xuner had a ck line on her face and squatted down, revealing a slightly gloomy smile as she pointed at the broken script on the ground. Also, Meier, I have a question. Why am I included as a malicious supporting character without my consent? Have I been treating you badly?


    Ah? Ah this is necessary for the plot Xiao Mei stammered, avoiding eye contact with Xiao Xuner, feeling guilty.


    Hey! What do you mean by the others can be ignored? Im not happy to be included in the script without my consent! Nn Yanran, displeased with Xiao Xuners words, crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Yu. But as you said, its really peculiar. Does she bring out these things every year?


    Ah shes truly beyond help, Xiao Yu sighed softly, pinching the bridge of his nose helplessly. But apart from her, theres always one more person who acts foolishly every year


    As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Nings voice apanied by footsteps came from outside the courtyard.


    Xiao Yan, look at the performance I prepared today


    Xiao Ning, if you dont want your elder sister to lose her younger brother forever, go back, get dressed, and dont even think about performing on stage.


    Before Xiao Yan could respond, Xiao Yus cold voice suddenly rang out.


    Soon, silence fell outside the courtyard, and after a few seconds, Nn Yanran heard the fading footsteps of Xiao Ning, not even catching a glimpse of him.


    This situation made Nn Yanrans heart itch like it was being scratched by a small cat. She was intensely curious about the performance Xiao Ning had prepared but was abruptly dismissed by Xiao Yu.


    What on earth was he going to perform???
