My seniority is extraordinary: I was only eight years old when the whole village came to wish me a H

"Are the villagers all waiting for me to come back?"

Su Qinghuan silently pondered those words, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.

An eight-year-old orphan said that the whole village was waiting for him to come back.

If an adult were to say these words, it would likely be a successful business tycoon returning home in glory, or a high-ranking official returning to his hometown in triumph.

But coming from the mouth of an eight-year-old child, it sounds eerie no matter how you look at it.

Is there some relative in the village waiting for him?

But he just said...

Su Qinghuan's professional instincts made her sense something unusual.

There's definitely a story behind this!

An incredible story!

She suppressed her shock and decided to follow this lead.

"Wu Family Village? That sounds like a very welcoming place. Everyone in the village is waiting for you. It seems Wu You is very popular in the village." Su Qinghuan tried to steer the conversation in a relaxed tone.

Wu You glanced at her, his eyes seeming to say, "You're too naive."

He didn't answer directly, but instead picked up his teacup and took another sip.

This slow and unhurried manner made Su Qinghuan extremely anxious.

This kid is so good at whetting people's appetites!

The viewers in the live stream were even more anxious than she was.

"Speak quickly, my little darling! Stop drinking your tea!"

"Holy crap, this is the first time I've ever seen an eight-year-old kill a conversation."

"This isn't just chatting; this is a complete disaster for the streamer!"

"Anchor: I want to dig up a big story. Kid: Sit down and have a cup of tea."

"I feel like this kid isn't going home for the New Year; he's patrolling his own territory!"

Su Qinghuan looked at the rapidly scrolling comments and knew she had to do something.

She cleared her throat and changed her approach.

"So... Wu You, when you went home for the New Year, did you prepare a lot of New Year's gifts for your friends in the village? Or are you more looking forward to receiving lots and lots of lucky money?"

This is a clever question.

It fits the identity of an eight-year-old child, and it also allows one to probe his family's economic situation and his status in the "village".

If it were an ordinary child, they would definitely be excited to talk about their New Year's money.

If the child comes from a wealthy family, they might proudly say what gift they prepared.

Su Qinghuan looked at Wu You expectantly, waiting for his answer.

However, Wu You frowned slightly after hearing the question.

It was a very slight expression, tinged with impatience.

He finally shifted his gaze from the teacup to Su Qinghuan's face completely and formally.

"You're noisy."

Wu You spoke, his voice not loud, but every word was like a small hammer, striking Su Qinghuan's heart heavily.

The smile on Su Qinghuan's face froze completely once again.

What...what?

He said I was... noisy?

As a top-notch host, Su Qinghuan is most proud of her voice and her way of speaking.

Her voice is hailed as "heavenly," and her stage presence and conversational skills are benchmarks in the industry.

In all her years in the industry, she has received countless praises and compliments, but this is the first time someone has used the word "noisy" to describe her.

Moreover, the one who said this was an eight-year-old child!

This is no longer just an interview mishap; it's a career Waterloo!

Su Qinghuan felt her cheeks burning, as if she had been slapped in public.

She could even imagine the mocking frenzy that would be taking place in the live stream right now.

as predicted.

"Pfft—Sorry, I couldn't help it! It's noisy!"

"Hahahaha! The most memorable quote of the year has been born: 'You're too noisy, anchor!'"

"That's heartbreaking, my friend! The goddess Qinghuan is facing the biggest crisis of her career!"

"This kid is really outspoken! I'd call him a 'conversation killer'!"

"The anchor's expressions, from embarrassment to shock, and then to existential doubt, could be turned into memes."

"I have a feeling that this kid isn't complaining about the anchor being noisy, but rather that the anchor's questions are too childish?"

The last comment, like a bolt of lightning, struck Su Qinghuan.

Yes!

childish!

She always treated Wu You like a normal child, asking questions that seemed obvious to her, such as "What's your name?", "Where are your parents?", and "Do you want some New Year's money?"

But for this "eight-year-old prodigy" whose mind is far beyond that of ordinary people, these questions may really be... childish, boring, and "noisy".

Having figured this out, Su Qinghuan was not angry at all; instead, she felt a strong sense of frustration and... curiosity.

She realized that she had been wrong from the very beginning.

She couldn't treat Wu You like a child.

She had to treat him as an equal, or even... a higher-level conversationalist.

"sorry."

Su Qinghuan took a deep breath and actually apologized to Wu You in a solemn manner.

This move surprised the viewers in the live stream.

"Holy crap! The streamer actually apologized?"

"Is Qinghuan being manipulated by PUA?"

"No, you didn't understand. This isn't admitting defeat; it's mutual respect before a duel between experts! The streamer is getting serious!"

Wu You looked at Su Qinghuan, and the impatience in his eyes finally faded, replaced by a faint look of approval.

"Regarding your question earlier," Wu You took the initiative to speak, giving her a way out, "they don't dare to give me New Year's money."

Su Qinghuan was taken aback: "You wouldn't dare?"

What kind of wording is this?

Aren't New Year's money gifts a blessing from elders to younger generations?

Why would you use the word "dare not"?

Wu You seemed oblivious to her surprise and continued in his calm, even tone:

"In Wujia Village, I was the only one who distributed the food to them."

boom!

This sentence is a thousand times more damaging than the previous "You're noisy"!

Su Qinghuan felt that her worldview was being overturned inch by inch.

An eight-year-old child claims that he is the one who distributes New Year's money to everyone in the village.

How...how is this possible?!

This is no longer a matter of whether you have money or not; it involves "rules" and "seniority"!

In China, a country that values ​​tradition, only the most senior and respected elders are qualified to give out lucky charms to the entire clan and village during the Lunar New Year.

An eight-year-old child...

Is it...

A guess that made Su Qinghuan's scalp tingle grew wildly in her mind.

She raised her head, staring intently at Wu You's youthful yet incredibly calm face, her voice trembling slightly:

"Wu You... what exactly is your identity in Wu Family Village?"
