A parent who was out with their kids accidentally stumbled into a 5-ha show, and their alter ego sho

"If either of you would like to join our team, that's fine too!"

Chen He wore an expression of concern for Tian Yu and Wang Chenyi, and Zhang Yanqi beside him chimed in, "That's right! Anytime!"

"Hey? Isn't it a bit much to poach someone right in front of them?" At this moment, Xia Chuan finally stopped being silent and looked at Chen He with displeasure.

Deng Chao retorted, "Pah! They've got no shame!"

Chen He remained unmoved and ignored the two completely. Instead, he continued to say to Tian Yu and Wang Chenyi, "It's all for you two. Live each day to the fullest and strive hard."

Liu Yifei watched the commotion with great interest, while Xia Nian, standing beside her, would occasionally steal a glance at her mother's expression.

Xia Chuan ignored them, looking directly at Chen He and the other two, and said firmly, "Our team members will absolutely not leave!"

"I'm extremely confident about this!"

Deng Chao nodded: "That's right!"

However, just as the two finished speaking, a somewhat stealthy figure slowly moved from behind them.

"Suddenly I felt a heat behind me." Chen He glanced at Wang Chenyi, who had moved to his side and behind him, and looked at Xia Chuan and Deng Chao with a smug look.

Xia Chuan and Deng Chao stared wide-eyed at the smirking Wang Chenyi in disbelief.

Lu Han chuckled and said, "Come on, let's all take our seats first."

After saying that, he led Zhang Yanqi and Wang Mian to their seats. When Wang Chen saw that his good brothers had also sat down at the table, he couldn't help but explain to Xia Chuan and the other two, "Brother Chuan, Brother Chao, I... I think we can eat together."

The implication was clear: brothers, the child is still young and growing; could we have a meal first?

Chen He put his arm around Wang Chenyi's shoulder and explained with a smile, "He's still a child, and he's at the age where he's growing. You two old folks shouldn't be a burden to him."

"Of course, your naan is also very good, it's a different style."

Wang Chenyi wanted to explain something, but Chen He pulled him away, saying, "Alright, go ahead. Sometimes, saying too much can lead to mistakes."

He then bypassed Xia Chuan and Deng Chao, whose faces showed displeasure, and said to Tian Yu, "Brother, we're adults, we're adults, we must make a decisive decision!"

Xia Chuan and Deng Chao both looked at Tian Yu, who would be their last hope.

Facing the pressure of the three men's gazes, Tian Yu swallowed hard and said, "No, I can have this naan with you guys tonight, but tomorrow I choose to eat well."

Xia Chuan shook his head: "Brother Yu, we're on the same team. How do you know there definitely won't be any food tomorrow?"

Deng Chao also said disappointedly, "Does doing good deeds necessarily mean there will be no food?"

Tian Yu pointed to the naan bread and the food on the stone table, and said with a wry smile, "If I had to choose between the two, I'd pick the one that's good to eat."

He shrugged, indicating that it was true.

Xia Chuan and Deng Chao exchanged a smile, both revealing bitter expressions.

Tian Yu felt a little uncomfortable and advised, "Chuanzi, Chao'er, believe me, [Xing Dehao] won't be any better."

Xia Chuan waved his hand and forced a smile, "It's alright, it's alright, I understand, I get what you mean, Brother Yu."

Deng Chao was speechless, only holding the flatbread in his arms with a bitter expression.

Seeing this, Chen He immediately pulled Tian Yu over: "Come on, Brother Yu, it's really kind of you to stand here."

Tian Yu smiled awkwardly, but reluctantly walked over.

Everyone welcomed Tian Yu to take a seat.

Liu Yifei chuckled and asked Xia Nian, who was quietly eating her meal beside her, "Niannian, are you worried that your dad won't have enough to eat? You look like the kind of sweet little girl your dad loves."

Upon hearing this, the others at the table also looked at Xia Nian, who had paused in her movements, and all showed expressions of curiosity.

Lu Han said, "Sister Yifei, although Niannian is a bit playful and likes to go against Chuanzi, their father-daughter relationship is very good. I guess this little girl will secretly leave some food for Chuanzi."

As Tian Yu ate, he nodded and said, "That's right, Niannian is indeed very filial. She's much more well-behaved and sensible than my own child."

Wang Mian strongly supported her, saying, "That's right! Our little princess Nian Nian is the best!"

Zhang Yanqi and Wang Chenyi also showered Xia Nian with praise, clearly showing their great fondness for her.

This scene actually made Liu Yifei somewhat happy. Although she was angry that Xia Chuan and Xia Nian had gone on the variety show without informing her first and didn't come home, she was more worried that the two of them weren't eating or sleeping well.

She could sense from everyone's attitude towards Xia Nian that they genuinely liked her and were willing to care for her, which naturally made her feel gratified as a mother.

But she couldn't let that show. Instead, she patted Xia Nian's head and teased, "Oh? So Nian Nian is so popular, even called a little princess. Looks like you're a little princess at home too?"

Glug!

Xia Nian swallowed the chicken in her mouth with difficulty, and gave Liu Yifei a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Big...sister, I'm just a child at home, not some little princess."

"In our family, the oldest person will always be my most beautiful and beloved mother!"

"Also, since this is a competition, the loser will naturally be punished. I won't break the rules for my own selfish desires. Dad... let him suffer a little!"

"What do you think, pretty lady?"

After Xia Nian finished speaking, she looked cautiously at Liu Yifei, who had a half-smile on her face. This was clearly an implication that she was not in cahoots with Xia Chuan. "Mom, you're the boss. I'm just a child. I don't understand anything. It was all Dad's choice."

Everyone shook their heads and laughed, failing to understand the meaning behind it.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei chuckled and patted her head, agreeing, "Alright then, it seems you really are a filial and well-behaved child. Come on, eat more vegetables."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of bok choy for her.

Xia Nian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Liu Yifei seemed to have stopped being angry with her.

On the other side, Chen He mocked Xia Chuan and the other two: "Hahaha, you two just keep eating your pancakes, I'm going to take my seat."

"Friendly reminder: Remember to drink water if you choke."

After saying that, he sat down and began to eat.

Xia Chuan and Deng Chao exchanged a glance, then took out two large flatbreads and began to chew them with difficulty, though their eyes kept drifting toward the lively stone table.

It wasn't that the two of them didn't want to admit defeat, but Xia Chuan was the captain, so naturally he couldn't be the first to back down; he had to show some attitude regardless of winning or losing.

As for Deng Chao, he knew perfectly well that Chen He would never let him pass.

So the two of them decided to stick to it.

"Come on, cheers!" The two clinked their pancakes together.

"Wow! Ladies and gentlemen, this pancake... it's really chewy!" Xia Chuan chewed with a somewhat ferocious expression.

Deng Chao exclaimed, "Friends, this naan is really fragrant, especially the sesame seeds. The aroma after chewing it... um..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Han handed a chicken leg to him and Xia Chuan. The two men's expressions instantly froze, staring intently at the chicken leg.

The flatbread suddenly doesn't taste so good anymore.

"Could you please go away?"
