Mu Yunchu gently shifted her gaze to behind her.
Everyone followed her sight and looked towards Father Huang, who was standing at the very back.
The latter widened his eyes, "Huh?"
"Because of ?"
Up to now, they still thought that Huang Shanghuang had gone out in the middle of the night because he was being defiant.
However, Mu Yunchu shook her head.
Her expression showed a bit of helplessness.
"Aren’t you the one who wakes him up every morning?"
Father Huang, puzzled but still nodding in acknowledgnt, said, "Yes."
"And how do you wake him up?"
Under everyone’s scrutiny, Father Huang recalled, "I set several alarms for him, as long as it’s not turned off, it rings every five minutes."
They still didn’t understand why Mu Yunchu asked that.
"Didn’t you realize the alarm you set for him yesterday was at midnight?"
Everyone: ???
[???]
[Is this the legendary parental guidance?]
[Midnight alarm, uncle, where do you think the kid is going to go to class?]
Huang Panpan directly pulled out her brother’s phone watch, opened the alarm, and sure enough, there was a very noticeable alarm.
Midnight.
Recalling the way he looked in the surveillance footage at that ti.
Huang Panpan: "..."
So her brother thought it was ti to go to class, and then went out with his backpack and breakfast to school?
Huang Shanghuang nodded vigorously like a little chick pecking rice.
Finally, soone could clear his na.
[What can I say about this family? Birds of a feather flock together. The father sets an alarm for midnight, and the son, seeing the pitch darkness outside, doesn’t question it and goes to class.]
[Actually, it’s understandable, probably because his eyes were swollen from crying, and he couldn’t even open them.]
...
Although it turned out to be a misunderstanding, Huang Panpan still felt a bit depressed.
She formally apologized to her brother, "I was too harsh yesterday."
"But it was indeed a very bad behavior."
Mu Yunchu cleared her throat, "I think there’s sothing you should know."
Everyone looked at her again.
"Actually, your brother copied howork for others to earn pocket money."
[???]
[Impressive, the kid has a business mind at such a young age.]
Huang Panpan frowned even more.
Their family wasn’t that well-off, but it wasn’t to the point where her brother needed to save up pocket money in that way.
Mu Yunchu didn’t say more but looked at the little boy beside her.
"You can tell the rest yourself."
Huang Shanghuang rubbed his nose and took out a crystal ball from his backpack, his voice still that of a little boy.
"I actually wanted to save up to buy you a birthday present."
As it shook, the liquid inside the crystal ball flowed, moving the scene inside. Snowflakes filled the sky, falling on the girl on the base.
The place they were in was in the south, where Huang Panpan went to school too, and it rarely snowed. But he knew his sister always liked snow.
When he was buying books with a friend at a stationery store, he saw this crystal ball at a glance.
But the pocket money at ho was too little, so he had no choice but to charge for copying howork for others.
"But I actually didn’t fall behind in my studies."
Not doing howork didn’t an he didn’t understand.
Moreover, it was just during a special period, thinking that writing more for others would earn more money.
Huang Panpan didn’t know what to say.
Holding back her tears of emotion, Huang Panpan thanked Mu Yunchu again.
...
After hanging up the call, the netizens felt a bit emotional.
[Even though it turned out to be a misunderstanding, it feels nice.]
[Yes, fortunately, it was a false alarm!]
[I wanted to say from the start, there’s no need to worry; this is a law-abiding society, there’s no more abduction happening now.]
[You know too little, don’t you know there are thousands of missing children every year?]
[But I burst into laughter midway, what kind of father would be confused enough to set a midnight alarm for his kid?]
[Even more amazing is that he was completely oblivious, he was just as bewildered when the host ntioned it.]
[I must say, the person writing the script for the host has so talent.]
...
Amidst the discussion, a second lucky participant was drawn.
From her userna and avatar, she appeared to be female as well.
Even before Mu Yunchu asked, she excitedly typed on the public screen.
[, , I can get on mic, host!]
Then Mu Yunchu really sent her an invitation.
She agreed in an instant.
A few seconds later, a young, energetic face appeared on the screen.
[What’s going on today? Did the heavens notice sothing, allowing two beauties to co up one after the other?]
[Probably to attract male users; if there’s a script behind this, this must all be prearranged.]
[Uh... whether the host has a script or not, can you not be so certain? Who doesn’t like watching beauties, even girls enjoy that.]
[Exactly, what era is this, and such a small matter is being elevated to a gender issue.]
The second lucky person wasn’t affected by the comnts at all.
During the first two minutes of the video call, only a quarter of her face was shown on the screen.
"Wow, amazing!"
"I actually won the lucky draw!"
"Host, this is my first ti winning!"
She was a particularly styled young girl.
When she moved a bit farther, netizens could finally see her appearance clearly.
Then ca a long silence.
[There’s sothing I don’t know if I should ask.]
Hou Yiyun blinked, "Is it for ? Go ahead and ask."
[How old are you?]
It’s not that netizens were being presumptuous, but her appearance and style really did not match.
With a relatively young face, she wore colorful makeup. Black panda eye shadow, purple contact lenses, and red lips.
It didn’t have the professional feel of makeup, instead, it gave off the illusion of her ’pretending to be an adult’.
Hou Yiyun pouted, "16, so what."
[Really?]
[Isn’t 16 still in high school, and is makeup allowed?]
[Considering how hectic high school studies are, shouldn’t you be in class now? Did you skip class?]
[I finally figured out why I felt sothing was off since she got on; isn’t she the kind of little delinquent who forms cliques at school?]
[I really don’t know how the host picked soone like her.]
The series of speculations ca in, so even speaking unpleasant words. Hou Yiyun didn’t answer and showed a sowhat impatient expression.
"None of your business!"
"We’re just online friends!"
"Even if I’m a little spiritual sister, it’s none of your concern!"
