Chapter 387: He Didn ‘t Even Have That Many Lines
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The staff couldn’t guess what roles the children were playing just by looking at them.
“Now, let each family introduce their roles.”
Even the director was struggling to hold back his laughter.
“Let’s start according to where you all are standing right now.”
[I know what role Xiao Yi’s family is playing! Little Red Riding Hood! Hahaha… the magician is the grandmother. The floral headscarf and apron are so cute.]
[Feifei’s family is also easy to recognize. They are playing “The Ugly Duckling.” Lawyer Tao and Teacher Zheng are playing ordinary ducks. Feifei even has a set of swan costumes.]
[Can someone tell me what role Xuanxuan’s family is playing?]
[I don’t know either. Is there a fairy tale about a zoo? They all seem like animals.]
[I can’t figure out Doudou’s family either.]
[Let’s just listen to their introductions. It would have been better if we had known about this task earlier. We could have let the children watch together.]
[I can’t guess half of the families’ characters. Is it because their appearances don’t match the roles or am I just uninformed?]
Doudou’s family began their introduction.
Doudou took the microphone and said, “Brothers and sisters, the fairy tale story we are going to perform is “The Woodpecker Doctor.” It’s a fairy tale that I made up myself. I play the big tree, my mom plays the woodpecker, and my dad plays the sparrow. The big tree gets sick, and the woodpecker treats it, but the big tree doesn’t appreciate it. In the end, the big tree gets worse, so it asks the sparrow to find the woodpecker…”
After Doudou finished introducing everyone’s roles, the other guests looked at their costumes. Except for the tree, nothing else made sense.
[Doudou is clever. She even made up her own fairy tale. She is so creative!]
[So that’s why the writer has a cross hanging from his neck. I thought it was some kind of religious symbol.]
[Pei Lingfeng is supposed to be a sparrow? How is that even possible?]
[They made their own props. Let’s be more tolerant. The main thing is to see how everyone performs.]
Next, it was Xiao Tianlin’s turn to introduce the roles his family was playing.
“By looking at my appearance, everyone can tell that I’m the grandmother from “Little Red Riding Hood.” I must be the fattest grandmother in history. How can the wolf eat me?” he said sadly.
[The magician has lost all hope in life.]
[So far, except for Wheatley and Doudou’s family, the magician’s costume closely matches the part he is playing.]
[The magician must be regretting it. A good man who fears his wife can make a fortune.]
[Magician, you have already won. Be happy!]
Xiao Tianlin couldn’t bear it. Although Xia MO said that playing the grandmother was great, he didn’t even have many lines.
After that, it was Tutu’s turn.
“Hello, everyone. My dad and I are playing “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.” I am the Mouse King, and my dad is the Nutcracker. Since there are only two of us in our family, we replaced Marie with my toy. Thank you, everyone,” said Tutu.
[What is the Nutcracker? I don’t understand.]
[What? The Nutcracker?]
[I know the Nutcracker is a doll. During Christmas, some stores use Nutcracker decorations, especially the sales office.]
[Tutu’s grandfather is a real estate developer. It is no wonder Tutu knows about the Nutcracker.]
[Help! I’m surprised that I didn’t know anything about this. I just found out about the Nutcracker.]
Some of the guests also didn’t know about the Nutcracker. They searched for it online.
Finally, it was the Li family’s turn to introduce their fairy tale characters.
Li Yanchen felt hopeless. Wasn’t it embarrassing enough with the headgear? He didn’t want to passionately narrate his story. Li Yanchen took a step back and pushed Li Zexin forward.
“Li family, why don’t you tell everyone about your roles?”
“Let me introduce our roles,” said Li Zekai. “The story we are performing is “The Little Dog Learns to Bark.” It’s from the Chinese language textbook. Have you all heard the story? I play the little dog, Aunt Lin plays the cuckoo, Brother Xuanxuan plays the fox, Brother Xinxin plays the hunter, and Dad plays the rooster…”
Li Zekai felt that their headgears had turned out very well.
Li Yanchen covered his face. Was it necessary to introduce him so loudly?
The staff members burst out laughing.
“It sounds great!” said the director, gesturing for his staff to keep quiet.
[It’s from the third-grade Chinese language textbook, “The Little Dog Learns to Bark.” I remember our teacher asking us to continue the story. Judging from the name, it’s about learning to bark. It’s hard to imagine what Mr. Li looks like when clucking.]
[Why didn’t they let Mr. Li play the hunter?]
[Sister Wan is more suitable as the fox. She’s so beautiful.]
[Xuanxuan would also be suitable as a fox. Shouldn’t they have let Xuanxuan play the cuckoo? He looks quite delicate.]
[I really like the current roles. It’s fantastic!]
The other dads looked at Li Yanchen sympathetically. Li Yanchen felt sorry for himself.
Why did he have to play the rooster? He would rather play a cat.
At Chenxin headquarters, it was afternoon teatime.
Assistant Qin opened the live broadcast and saw Li Yanchen. At first, he couldn’t figure it out, but after reading the comments, he understood everything.
He took his phone and went to find Secretary Han.
Secretary Han was sitting in front of the computer with his eyes very close to his phone.
“Secretary Han.” Assistant Qin entered without knocking on the door.
‘ Assistant Qin, I was just about to call you! The boss is playing the role of a rooster,” Secretary Han said, resting his chin on his hand. He couldn’t believe it.
“I know… Do you think the boss seems unhappy? Was he threatened? Should we give him a call?”
“The threat comes from his wife. His wife’s threats are sweet threats. Fighting is a sign of affection. The bigger the fight, the more loving they are. That’s why the boss loves his wife so much. It’s between them,” said Secretary Han. “Don’t meddle in other people’s affairs, especially when it comes to the boss’s personal life. In the past few episodes, anyone who meddled in the boss’s personal affairs ended up in a terrible state.”
“Oh.” Assistant Qin felt that Mr. Li’s wife was the most powerful person in the world at the moment.. The only person who could make Li Yanchen become as obedient as a puppy was Lin Wan!
