Chapter 120 Follow-up
While Lady Yan and Yan Qing were busy running around like headless chickens, Wei Chaoyan sat leisurely by the window of a well-lit guest room arranged by the green-clad maid. In a good mood, she would occasionally pick up a plump melon seed from the dish on the table beside her and pop it into her mouth. She even shamelessly asked the netizens in the live stream to send her some novel excerpts that she was interested in via bullet comments to relieve her boredom.
Why is Wei Chaoyan so relaxed and in the mood to tease the miserable netizens?
The truth is, unable to personally deal with this unruly child who occasionally acts out and causes trouble due to the dimensional barrier, Wei's parents gritted their teeth and suppressed their strong urge to discipline her, all planning to settle scores later. They gently explained that she had been severely frightened yesterday, and they were too heartbroken to scold her further. They only softly asked her to rest well and not to take such risks again!
After being comforted with such gentle words, Wei Chaoyan, who was completely confused, believed that her father, Liu Yu, and the others really did not blame her for her reckless actions. Without the burden of questioning from her relatives and elders, she had no choice but to put on a good show!
Most netizens were too lazy to pay attention to the streamer who was being annoying, only a few silly and funny people who recovered quickly came over.
As Wei Chaoyan had hoped, they painstakingly copied some content from the novel and posted it on the public screen. In an instant, the entire public screen was filled with long, scrolling text.
As for the text content? Ugh, just look at the ugly faces of the netizens who were accidentally attacked, and look at Wei Chaoyan's face turning pale and her eyes twitching. You'll know it's not good content!
Wei Chaoyan, feeling utterly exasperated by the "thoughtful" service from netizens, left the live stream with a livid expression. She borrowed a book from the green-clad maid waiting outside and slowly began to read it, ignoring the controversies in the live stream.
In the present world of China, on the 20th floor of Building 1, Xinhua Community, Dunhou Town, Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, was Wei Chaoyan's home from her previous life.
On the sofa in the living room, Wei's parents, looking haggard with red and swollen eyes and several wrinkles around their eyes, supported each other as they sat on the sofa against the wall on the left. They looked expectantly at Liu Yu and Li Ye, who were sitting upright on the opposite sofa, dressed in fitted casual clothes.
"Ayu, Xiao Li, Auntie and Uncle sent Yan Yan a reassuring message as you suggested. Wouldn't that be better for her?"
Liu Yu and Li Ye nodded solemnly, and the capable woman spoke first: "Uncle, Aunt, don't worry. Now that you've said that, Ayan won't be worried or afraid of your anger anymore. According to our assessor's prediction, this will greatly alleviate her psychological pressure!"
Wei's mother hesitated for a few moments, but finally, ignoring Wei's father's attempts to stop her, she asked with a choked voice, "Can't Yan Yan just live a peaceful life? Will she have to face such dangers all the time? She's just a child, she's never left our protection, why should she bear such a heavy burden?!"
As she spoke, her voice grew agitated. Disregarding her image, she rushed to Liu Yu, grabbing her hand resting on her knee, and pleaded earnestly, "Yu, aren't you a government official representing the country? Could you—no, could the country—talk to Yan Yan and tell her to stop this commotion? We don't want that damn study space anymore! We just want her to live a peaceful and uneventful life there! Please? Please! I'm begging you!"
"Fangfang, what are you doing?!" Wei's father pulled back Wei's mother, who was now in tears and had lost all her usual spirit. He looked apologetically at Liu Yu and Li Ye, who were filled with guilt, unease, and embarrassment, and interrupted their apology that was about to come out.
"Our daughter has grown up and has her own path to follow. We, as her parents, should be happy!"
"Besides, she's not just fighting for her own dream; she's fighting for her country and those poor civilians in the other world! We can't help her with anything, and we shouldn't do anything discouraging to dampen her spirits!"
That being said, Wei's father's voice unconsciously trembled with tears. He awkwardly rubbed his slightly sore nose and forced a smile, saying, "Come on, Fangfang, let's continue to review things with Ayu and the others, and see what we should do when we get to the space in a few days! This is a special privilege given to us by the country, we can't let it slip and waste the country's good intentions!"
“Yes, Auntie, don’t be sad! Let’s do another match and give that guy Yan a surprise!” Liu and Yu, who were awkwardly wondering what to do, immediately chimed in to comfort the heartbroken Wei Ma.
Understanding what Wei's father meant, Wei's mother stopped making things difficult for the pitiful Liu and Yu, and simply went into her bedroom, leaving Wei's father to deal with Liu and Yu alone.
"Well," hearing the faint sobs still coming from behind the door, Liu Yu pulled Li Ye aside and said shamefully to Wei's father, "Uncle Wei, we've already repeated the things we need to pay attention to to you several times before, so I'm sure you and Auntie have memorized them. Li Ye and I won't bother you any longer; we'll leave now. We'll let you know in advance when it's time!"
"By the way! Uncle and Aunt, you must trust the country and the organization; they will not let down any citizen! We will not let Ayan bear such a heavy burden alone! The country will always be there for you!"
After saying that, he quickly left the place.
After watching the two leave, Wei's father closed the door with a desolate expression. He walked unsteadily to the bedroom door, raised his hand and knocked lightly a few times. He said in a low voice, "Open the door, Fangfang! Don't be sad. Come out and let's discuss what to say and do when we see Yan Yan in the space. We can't waste this rare opportunity!"
After a long silence in the bedroom, Wei Ma's quiet, resentful voice finally broke the silence.
"Why does such a well-behaved and sensible child like Yan Yan have to go through so many hardships? Why does Yan Yan have to be the one to get this lousy live streaming system? It forces her to work so hard every day for those fan points and likes!"
Wei's father stood dejectedly outside the door, his figure slightly hunched, as if he had suddenly become a teenager. He spoke with difficulty, "Consider it the price for Yan Yan's second life!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ma fell completely silent.
Yes, her beloved daughter died under that damned car wheel years ago! Now that she can see her daughter alive and kicking again, she should be content! As Mr. Wei said, their family isn't from any extraordinary background, nor do they have any great merits. Their daughter's miraculous rebirth is already a great honor! The hardships they've endured are merely paying a belated price!
Fortunately, fate has been kind to her. She has the full support of the country, the sincere care of Lady Yan and others, and her younger brothers are also very considerate and easy to take care of. In addition, the mysterious system provides assistance both openly and secretly. Although Yan Yan's future path will be a bit difficult, it is not impossible for her to walk it!
With this thought in mind, Wei's mother stopped dwelling on her grief. She casually tidied up her disheveled appearance, got up, opened the door, and walked out, calling out to Wei's father who was standing in front of the door with a lot of energy.
"Come quick, old man, let's double-check how we should get along with Yan Yan during the years we're in the space. We absolutely can't let her worry about us two old folks. Ah! And those three new sons, we need to figure out how to get along with them too!..."
Seeing that Wei's mother had regained her usual energetic spirit, Wei's father smiled with relief. Without waiting for Wei's mother to urge him further, he naturally walked to her side and started chatting with her in a lively manner.
The loud discussion dispelled the gloomy silence in the room and brought a glimmer of hope!
