Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me
Chapter 105 - 104: The Snake’s Pupil

Chapter 105: Chapter 104: The Snake’s Pupil

The woman’s eyes held a sense of curiosity.

"Yes, that’s right." Mianmian replied to the woman’s questions, her tone careful and delicate.

Upon hearing Mianmian’s positive response, the woman, holding her child, leaned in toward the camera as if looking into a mirror, "It can really see me? That’s so magical; I’ve never seen this before."

The child in her arms reached out to touch the camera, babbling as he spoke.

Mother and child both had the same innocent gaze, unaware of the ways of the world.

[Are people in this village all so inexperienced? They don’t even know what a live-stream camera is.]

[Not sure, I’m more concerned about that family from before, why couldn’t that woman speak?]

[Same here, I’m also very concerned about that family.]

But since the residents wouldn’t open their doors, the netizens could only express their thoughts through bullet comments, unable to prompt the hosts to ask further questions.

After the woman had looked at the camera, she introduced herself shyly, "Oh right, my name is Erya. Just call me Erya. The fish is over there; thank you for your help. I have another little one in the house that needs to be breastfed, I should go feed him."

Su Chenfei saw the fish by the well, nodding, "Okay, you go ahead."

He sat on the stool and began to cut the fish, seemingly not noticing Mianmian had followed the woman into the house.

The production team was focused on filming the children, so when the adults and children separated, the crew naturally followed Mianmian into the house.

Inside the house, the woman put the little boy down on the bed to let him play on his own, then she picked up the infant from the cradle, glancing at the camera bashfully.

"I, I’m going to breastfeed now, can you not film this part?"

The crew understood and adjusted the camera so it was only on Mianmian.

Mianmian was looking at the decorations in the house, and after a while, she asked, "Auntie Erya, why is there only one adult at home?"

Upon hearing this, Erya replied gently, "My husband, the children’s father, has gone to work in the fields. Our family of four relies on the crops he farms for a living."

"Oh," Mianmian asked again, "So your name is Erya, what’s your husband’s name? Is it Daya?"

Mianmian’s question was purely nonsensical.

Her mother had told her that when she wanted to know something without letting others catch on, she could talk nonsense. True and false, false and true, to confuse the enemy!

Like now, Mianmian wanted to know what Erya’s husband’s name was and whether it was on the soul-summoning list.

Knowing where they lived would make it easier to come over at night.

"How could that be? What man would bear such a name?" Erya couldn’t help but laugh, "My husband is named Yi Gou. Most people in Yide Village are surnamed Yi, a few have the surname Liao."

"Oh!" Mianmian nodded, "Is there anything Mianmian can help with? I’d also like a good person card."

Erya glanced at the child on the bed, "Then you can play with my son. His name is Gou Dan. Just call him Gou Dan, and he’ll laugh."

Mianmian, "Why is he named Gou Dan? It’s such a strange name."

"His dad said it’s easier to raise a child with a humble name." Erya shifted the position of the child in her arms, then suddenly asked, "So many people really watch that show?"

Mianmian nodded, "Yes, indeed."

Erya kept glancing at the camera, her eyes suddenly empty and void. After a moment, she forced a smile and looked at Mianmian, "Why did you come to our village to film this? Aren’t other villages suitable?"

Mianmian could tell Erya was sad.

She put on a cheerful smile, "Our director decided that he wanted to film here, I don’t know if other villages are unsuitable."

After hearing Mianmian’s reply, Erya was silent for a while. She looked at the infant in her arms, then at the elder son who was sitting up and smiling at her, and finally at Mianmian, who was dressed so neatly.

As she watched, tears streamed down her cheeks, and she softly asked, "Mianmian, are you afraid of snakes?"

Mianmian shook her head, "I’m not afraid."

As Mianmian spoke, Gou Dan, who was playing on the bed, suddenly called out in his childlike voice, "Mama, Mama."

As he called out, Gou Dan started to crawl off the bed.

Mianmian, afraid that Gou Dan might fall, reached her little hands to support him.

The boy’s body was very soft, especially Gou Dan’s. His skin was similar in color to Liao Zhe’s and Liao An’s. He babbled something incomprehensible and, upon reaching Erya, wrapped his arm around her, raising his hand to her face.

"Mama, Mama~don’t, cry, don’t cry."

Er Ya’s tears flowed even more when she heard her son’s tender voice trying to comfort her.

But even as she cried hard, she didn’t make a sound, just kept wiping her tears with her hands.

Mianmian saw Gou Dan trying to help his mom wipe her tears, so she simply scooped him up in her arms to make Gou Dan a bit taller.

Gou Dan indeed reached Er Ya’s face, his little hands clumsily touching her face: "Mommy, don’t cry, Gou Dan loves Mommy."

The two-year-old’s expression was innocent as he snuggled next to his mother’s arm.

The camera operator had focused only on Mianmian and Gou Dan, and he too felt moved by the scene of a child comforting his mother. Unable to capture the adults, he just focused on Er Ya’s shoulder, zooming in on Gou Dan’s chubby little face.

With that shot, the camera operator realized something was wrong.

The pupils in the toddler’s eyes, why do they look vertical in the camera?

The camera operator shook his head, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Little did he know, the Live Broadcast Room was in an uproar at that moment.

"Did that kid’s eyes look a little off just now?"

"Took a screenshot, I’m starving. Why did the pupils turn vertical? Really creepy."

"Could it be the lighting? There might have been some physical refraction just now. Kid’s eyes are like mirrors, they can all look like that. Okay, I can’t make this up anymore. Is there a boss who can explain? "

The netizens in the chat were all talking about the child’s eyes. Hu, who was sitting in front of the monitors, was also taken aback and asked the Bodyguard from the Su Family next to him, "Did you see that? The kid’s eyes?"

The Bodyguard gave a positive reply: "Hmm, they changed."

The muscular hunk’s tone also carried a hint of surprise.

Those were snake’s pupils. They had encountered snakes many times during their tropical jungle training and even eaten quite a few, so they could recognize them at a glance.

How could a child’s eyes change like a snake’s?

It wasn’t just Hu and the Bodyguard who noticed. The village chief, Yi Min, hidden away in his room watching the live-stream, wore an expression of rage.

Yi Gou was his brother, and the woman hosting Mianmian was his brother’s wife.

His brother’s wife had given birth to a boy on her first pregnancy, which had pleased him, and his brother was happy too. But now, it seemed that the firstborn wasn’t his brother’s child at all.

This was outrageous. Didn’t the agreement signed with the Liao Family state that they couldn’t lay a hand on the wives of Yi Family members? Who dared to break the agreement with such audacity? Er Ya, that damn girl, wouldn’t admit it, acting like nothing happened—a shameful woman indeed, fickle in affections, daring to cuckold his brother! She was practically begging for death!

As Yi Min seethed with anger, someone knocked on his door.

He put down his mobile phone, put on glasses, adjusted his facial expression, and opened the door.

Outside stood the Chu father and son, with Chu Qi speaking first: "Chief, I took a walk around, and all that’s left in the village are some women. My wife told me not to help any young women, so could you find some work for us to do? It would help me earn some brownie points."

Chu Qi spoke seriously and with an indifferent tone, but the audience who watched for so long caught on to the nuances.

"Hahaha, his voice softened the moment he said ’my wife’, and then it was back to normal towards the end."

"How is there such a handsome and wife-obeying ordinary guest? I’m so jealous."

"Seeing the cool and heartless boss Chu Qi who actually wears the pants at home is so hilarious, I salute with a laugh first!"

The netizens found Chu Qi’s demeanor adorable, but Yi Min did not share the sentiment; in fact, he felt annoyed just looking at Chu Qi’s face.

He thought Chu Qi was annoying for coming to him.

After all, he was pondering how to punish the shameless couple caught in an affair and considering how to accomplish the task of serving Su Mianmian on the dinner table.

"I’m a bachelor, with enough to feed myself and not hungry at all, what work could I possibly have for you and your son?" Yi Min tried to smile, "How about this, I haven’t had the chance to make dinner either. Why don’t you cook a meal for me to eat, and by doing so for yourselves as well, consider it a completed task, how about that?"

Chu Qi nodded: "Sure, where’s the kitchen?"

Yi Min led Chu Qi to the kitchen, told him he could use any ingredients he liked, and then turned to head back to his room.

As soon as he entered the room and laid down after removing his glasses, he saw a mini version of Chu Qi standing by his bed.

"Sss, what are you doing, kid?" Yi Min was startled by Chu Ye’s face, which was even more icy than Chu Qi’s, and he almost failed to maintain a friendly expression.

Chu Ye spoke very formally: "My dad asked me to find the Chief and play so I wouldn’t get in the way in the kitchen."

Yi Min, now reminded of his brother being cuckolded every time he saw a child, felt overwhelmed.

"Uncle doesn’t have any fun toys here." Yi Min glanced at the camera, maintaining a smile, "How about I take you to play with Mianmian?"
