Chapter 12 Each Generation Has Its Own Struggles, Gu Xu’s Unbelievable Opinion!

Actually, the issue of snacks has always been controversial. Most parents think that it’s fine for kids to have a little snack. It won’t affect their health. After all, they don’t eat it every day or with every meal! There’s no need to be so strict and not let kids touch them at all!

However, Du Chun clearly expressed his opinion. He is absolutely against letting Dan Jiao eat any snacks at all. This left many people confused. Why is he being so extreme? After all, if it’s unhealthy, just eat less of it! It’s not like they can’t afford it! Not eating anything at all? That seems unreasonable!

Recently, the flavor of childhood snacks even sparked heated discussions online! But what if a child never gets to taste that flavor of childhood? That would be quite pitiful!

As the discussions continued online, the camera cut to Gu Xu.

In the screen, Gu Xu was sneakily looking around, checking his surroundings, and hiding behind a large tree far away from the kindergarten…

The way he was acting clearly indicated he was up to something shady. When the audience saw his actions, they couldn’t help but laugh.

“What is he doing? Pouting, pouting.”

“Gu Xu has such a heavy sense of guilt? What is he secretly doing?”

“Haha! This is too funny!”

Seeing the scene on the screen, not only the audience was confused, but even the guests and experts in the studio were all puzzled! Even the cameramen were baffled!

What exactly is Gu Xu doing?

Unable to control their curiosity, the staff members asked their question aloud!

Gu Xu, looking around sneakily, gave the staff a look that said, “You won’t understand.”

“You didn’t see how many parents are over there?”

The staff, even more confused, responded, “Yes, I saw them. What’s wrong with that?”

Gu Xu gave him a look, as if he couldn’t explain. “How can you be so dumb?”

“There are so many parents over there, and if I go over, I’d just get surrounded, right?”

“Someone as handsome, elegant, and refined as me, surrounded by people? That would be a social death!”

Gu Xu spoke in a very cocky manner. After all, he wasn’t some public figure. If it weren’t for Yang Mi repeatedly asking him, even going as far as tempting him physically, Gu Xu wouldn’t have agreed to record this program! After all, he wasn’t short of money!

The comment section exploded in laughter!

The viewers, filled with excitement, couldn’t hold back their comments!

“Haha! Gu Xu, you’re going to make me die of laughter, then inherit my Huabei?”

“Didn’t expect Yang Mi’s husband to be socially anxious? And also a narcissistic one…”

“I can’t take it! My stomach hurts from laughing!”

“Every time I see Gu Xu, I just can’t stop laughing!”

“He’s actually afraid of being surrounded by people? That’s just hilarious!”

“Maybe it’s because the camera is too obvious!”

“Haha, he’s scared…”

Actually, most viewers could understand Gu Xu’s explanation. After all, if it were them, they would probably feel embarrassed too!

Just then, a parent recognized Gu Xu.

With a surprised expression, they loudly asked, “Aren’t you Gu Xu?”

Clearly, this parent was also a viewer of the show!

Because of this question, many people turned to look at Gu Xu. Within seconds, the crowd began to stir, and more and more people started to look at Gu Xu. Gu Xu immediately became the center of attention!

The situation reversed so suddenly, leaving the viewers laughing uncontrollably!

“Looks like what they feared really came true!”

“Just finished saying it, and he got recognized. That’s so awkward!”

“Seeing this from Gu Xu’s perspective is basically the nightmare of socially anxious people!”

Gu Xu was speechless. He felt so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and quickly crawl into it, never to come out again!

This was truly a case of “what you fear most will happen.”

Having been recognized, continuing to hide was only making it more awkward. In the end, Gu Xu could only reluctantly step out from behind the tree.

As soon as he did, several parents quickly gathered around him, eager to chat and exchange parenting experiences. Gu Xu could only respond helplessly and share his own views.

“Actually, I think today’s kids are really struggling!” He said.

“They have to focus on their studies and their grades…”

“In my opinion, those things are not that important.”

“The most important thing is to grow up happy, healthy, and with joy!”

As soon as he said this, many parents stared at him in surprise. They clearly didn’t expect Gu Xu to say something like that!

One of the parents, not understanding his educational philosophy, frowned and said, “You don’t actually want to share, do you?”

“Are you saying this on purpose?”

“Kids today, how are they struggling?”

“When I was a child, if I had the conditions they have now, I’d be smiling in my sleep!”

“I was absolutely dedicated to studying, not letting my parents’ expectations go to waste!”

This parent went on and on, expressing their own views. From their perspective, their generation had already gone through all the hardships. They hoped their children wouldn’t fall behind and were doing everything they could to provide the best conditions within their means.

Gu Xu listened to their endless talking, his frown growing deeper and deeper. Unable to listen any longer, he directly shot back, “If you think like that, it just shows how ignorant you are!”

“Stop trying to use your outdated views on hardship to educate today’s kids.”

“If you want to suffer, there’s plenty of suffering to be had!”

“From the 1950s to the 1970s, everyone was worrying about not having enough to eat.”

“Later on, it was worrying about the economy.”

“Then, it became worrying about houses, cars, and getting married.”

“And now, the post-2000 generation is worrying about education and employment!”

“Every generation has its own struggles!”

By the end of his speech, Gu Xu was becoming increasingly agitated, his gaze intense as he looked at the parent who had been speaking.

“Let’s not talk about anything else—tainted milk powder, rotten vegetables, gutter oil, cultural invasion…”

“Which of these challenges isn’t something this generation is facing?”

Gu Xu spoke very bluntly, and everyone could understand him clearly. His words were impactful, striking the audience like a thunderclap. All the parents present fell silent. Because what he said was the truth!

They couldn’t argue against it. Seeing the silence, Gu Xu let out a helpless sigh.

“That’s why I say, being outstanding doesn’t really matter.”

“For kids today, the most important thing is to be healthy, safe, and happy!”

In fact, most of the struggles kids face today are imposed by their parents!

And those struggles are unnecessary!

Gu Xu’s views immediately ignited the live broadcast!
