Chapter 44: Bizarre Program

Chapter 44: Bizarre Program

After dinner, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ying, and Xiao Li continued to drink and chat, while Xiao Yan stood up and spoke to Xiao Zhan.

Father, Ill go and prepare things with the others.

Oh, go ahead.

Xiao Zhan waved his hand lightly, and Xiao Yan nodded. He then came to Qing Lins side, crouched down, and spoke softly.

Little Qing Lin, would you like to go and have fun with me?

Mmm!

After spending the whole day together, Qing Lin had completely let go of her guard against the Xiao Clan. She happily nodded when she heard Xiao Yans words.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yings eyes were filled with deep satisfaction, and even Xiao Li showed a rare gentle expression.

Parents of Qing Lin, please rest assured.

Your daughter is doing well.

Hey, what is Xiao Yan preparing?

Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Xuner and asked. Xiao Xuner raised an eyebrow slightly, looking somewhat displeased as she glanced at Nalan Yanran.

Miss Nalan, I have a name, and dont you think its impolite to call me hey?

Then should I call you little sister Xuner?

You can still call me hey. Xiao Xuner responded without hesitation, then answered, Every year, the Xiao Clan prepares a fixed program for the evening, and we, the younger generation, are in charge of the preparations. We call it the New Years Eve Gala.

New Years Eve Gala?

Nalan Yanran furrowed her brows tightly.

What is that?

While Nalan Yanran was thinking, Xiao Yan had already held Qing Lins small hand and arrived at the entrance. He turned around and looked at the two.

Xuner, little foodie, lets go.

Coming!

I already told you not to call me a little foodie!!!

The group of them playfully and noisily arrived at the Xiao Clan courtyard. The leftover food from the lunch tables had been cleaned up, the tablecloths had been replaced, and the previously dirty floor was now clean. The young members of the Xiao Clan were gathered around a wooden platform covered with a red carpet, discussing something.

For some reason, the tone of Xiao Yus voice made Nalan Yanran feel somewhat speechless?

As Xiao Mei approached, Nalan Yanran noticed something and raised an eyebrow. They had only been apart for an afternoon, but why did Xiao Mei look so exhausted? Even dark circles had appeared under her eyes.

As Xiao Mei reached them, Xiao Yu had a complex expression on his face as he extended his hand towards her.

Let me see your script.

Oh! This is my proud masterpiece!

Xiao Mei handed over the script to Xiao Yu with great pride, tilting her head up with a nose in the air.

[Main characters: Xiao Yan (male protagonist), Xiao Mei (female protagonist), malicious supporting characters: Xiao Xuner, Nalan Yanran, Ya Fei, and the shameless supporting character Xiao Ning, who should not exist in this world.]

[The story tells of the gentle and weak female protagonist gradually sinking into a low point of life under the oppression of the malicious supporting characters and shameless supporting character.]

[Just at that moment, the male protagonist, who is devoted, decisive, gentle, and faithful, descends from the sky and drives away all the filth surrounding the female protagonist, leading the male and female protagonists towards a happy and blissful new life]

Hiss

Before she could finish reading, Xiao Yus eyes went blank, and he closed the script with an expressionless face, tearing the thick stack of papers in half and casually tossing it on the ground.

Oh no!!! My masterpiece!!! Xiao Mei exclaimed as if the sky had fallen, weakly falling to her knees and sobbing as she looked at the pieces of paper on the ground. It took me three months to come up with this masterpiece

Three months I knew something was off during that time when you were occasionally absent-minded. Were you thinking about these things while you were training in the back mountain? Xiao Xuner had a black line on her face and squatted down, revealing a slightly gloomy smile as she pointed at the broken script on the ground. Also, Meier, I have a question. Why am I included as a malicious supporting character without my consent? Have I been treating you badly?

Ah? Ah this is necessary for the plot Xiao Mei stammered, avoiding eye contact with Xiao Xuner, feeling guilty.

Hey! What do you mean by the others can be ignored? Im not happy to be included in the script without my consent! Nalan Yanran, displeased with Xiao Xuners words, crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Yu. But as you said, its really peculiar. Does she bring out these things every year?

Ah shes truly beyond help, Xiao Yu sighed softly, pinching the bridge of his nose helplessly. But apart from her, theres always one more person who acts foolishly every year

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Nings voice accompanied by footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Xiao Yan, look at the performance I prepared today

Xiao Ning, if you dont want your elder sister to lose her younger brother forever, go back, get dressed, and dont even think about performing on stage.

Before Xiao Yan could respond, Xiao Yus cold voice suddenly rang out.

Soon, silence fell outside the courtyard, and after a few seconds, Nalan Yanran heard the fading footsteps of Xiao Ning, not even catching a glimpse of him.

This situation made Nalan Yanrans heart itch like it was being scratched by a small cat. She was intensely curious about the performance Xiao Ning had prepared but was abruptly dismissed by Xiao Yu.

What on earth was he going to perform???
