Thank you, quayA, for the ko-fi~
The rooms the shady tour guide had just been pushing cost 800 yuan a night.
The rooms Yu Ye was now getting for these dragons cost 2,000 yuan a night.
Yu Ye had booked out the entire most luxurious floor.
The dragons didn’t know the price. They wheeled their suitcases into the hotel. Upon reaching their designated floor, they could sense that the place they were staying was bound to be excellent.
“This place is so beautiful.”
“Yeah. I wonder how much it costs to stay here.”
This floor featured an entire entertainment zone, complete with a variety of games and activities.
The group of dragons gazed at the entertainment area, their eyes filled with a desire to try things out.
Yu Ye held a handful of key cards.
He used the cards to open the rooms one by one.
“One room per person. Go ahead and stay.”
Although Yu Ye said the dragons could choose their own rooms, he called them in one by one after opening the doors.
He had seemingly assigned the rooms at random, but had in fact arranged them himself.
“What about me? Where do I stay?”
Chi Rong, who was assigned last, was getting anxious.
Yu Ye assigned his room last.
“You’re staying here.”
“This room is huge.”
Chi Rong finally had a room. He eagerly rushed inside, looking all around.
There were even fresh flowers in the room. A pleasant fragrance greeted him the moment he entered.
It was a world of difference from the 15-yuan-a-day rooms the shady tour guide had provided.
After looking around the room, the dragon was extremely satisfied.
“Thank you.”
Chi Rong expressed his thanks sincerely.
If he had been left to his own devices tonight, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to stay in a place like this.
The dragon was, after all, a reasonable creature.
Since Yu Ye had helped him, he would thank him properly.
“Give me the baby.”
Chi Rong took Feng Yuan and held him in his arms, lowering his head to ask, “Yuan Yuan, do you like staying here?”
Feng Yuan’s eyes had been sparkling ever since he saw the rooms.
“I like it!”
Feng Yuan nodded vigorously. “This place is nice!”
It was so much better than the previous stinky room!
Sitting in Uncle Chi Rong’s arms, Feng Yuan turned his chubby little face and thanked Yu Ye as well.
“Thank you, Uncle!”
Feng Yuan’s thanks included not just words, but also a soft little kiss.
He leaned his little body forward, puckering his lips, and finally managed to plant a kiss on Yu Ye’s cheek.
After delivering his thank-you kiss, Feng Yuan had Uncle Chi Rong put him down. He then used his smartwatch to start calling his dad.
The little guy chattered on the phone. As he chattered, he ran off.
He went to the room next door, either to check out the other rooms or to see the other uncles.
Once he left, only the Chi Rong and Yu Ye remained in the room.
This instantly put the Chi Rong on high alert.
“Right, I haven’t asked yet. Where are you staying?”
“To your right.”
As Yu Ye spoke, he sat down on the room’s sofa.
His posture was relaxed, as if he were the owner of the room.
Seeing that he wasn’t leaving, Chi Rong’s brows furrowed.
“What are you still doing here?”
“Waiting.”
After Yu Ye uttered this single word, it took Chi Rong a few minutes to understand what he meant.
Someone came running over eagerly, carrying a first-aid kit.
Chi Rong looked at the first-aid kit, puzzled. “I don’t need any medicine.”
The places where he was scraped would heal on their own.
He was a dragon. His wounds healed incredibly fast.
Chi Rong didn’t want his wounds examined, nor did he want any ointment applied.
But Yu Ye just sat there on the sofa, his eyes, which always seemed profound when looking at people, fixed quietly on him.
This gaze made the dragon feel a sense of pressure.
“Fine.”
For the sake of his room for the night, Chi Rong muttered, reluctantly extending his hand and applying the ointment, feeling it was a hassle.
While Chi Rong was applying the ointment, Feng Yuan, who had been on the call, had already run through several of his dragon uncles’ rooms.
He was happily showing his dads the uncles’ luxurious rooms.
His two dads and Qin Xun were sitting together watching him, having to remind him from time to time, “Slow down.”
After running for a while, Feng Yuan finally got tired.
He plopped down on his bottom, grinned, and asked, “Dad, did you see Yuan Yuan’s pictures? Uncle took lots of pictures of Yuan Yuan!”
“We saw them. Yuan Yuan’s pictures are very nice.”
“Dad, can you post them for Yuan Yuan?”
Feng Yuan had sent a bunch of photos to his dads. Besides wanting them to see, he also wanted his dads to help him post them online.
He had to post an update!
As a little internet celebrity, Yuan Yuan’s enthusiasm for updating had been fired up after a fan had urged him to.
Feng Qi smiled. “Okay, I’ll post them for you in a bit.”
The two dads hadn’t accompanied him this time. But seeing the little guy so full of energy, they felt relieved.
“Dad, so many, many things happened to Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan will tell you all about it when I get home.”
Feng Yuan had already tattled to the uncle once today.
He planned to tattle all over again when he got home and tell the adults in his family about his trip.
Feng Yuan’s video call with his dads lasted for a good half hour.
By the time he finished, Chi Rong came over and asked the other dragons if they wanted to eat some more.
“It’s good food.”
Chi Rong said, “There’s a buffet on the 15th floor. I saw the pictures, and it looks delicious.”
The dragons were a little tempted.
But they first asked a crucial question: “Does it cost money?”
Delicious food probably costs money, right?
“No. Since we’re staying here, the food is free.”
Chi Rong seemed to have learned quite a bit about the hotel’s rules.
He picked Feng Yuan up again and led the way to the 15th floor.
The group of dragons piled into the elevator.
Feng Yuan looked at Uncle Chi Rong, tilted his little face up, and asked with some curiosity, “Uncle, where’s the other uncle?”
Feng Yuan was asking about his Yu Ye.
“He went out to eat.”
Chi Rong explained, “We’ll eat our own food, not with him.”
Feng Yuan: “Okay.”
Feng Yuan obediently wrapped his arms around Uncle Chi Rong’s neck and went with him to the 15th floor.
The buffet restaurant on the 15th floor was open.
The group of dragons had never had a buffet before, and neither had Feng Yuan.
The big and the small were all fascinated by this place.
When Feng Yuan saw a whole cabinet of desserts and ice cream, his chubby little legs could barely move.
He stood in front of the cabinet, drool trickling from the corner of his mouth.
“So much yummy food.”
As he spoke, he grabbed a bowl from beside the cabinet and started scooping ice cream.
The dragons, on the other hand, were eating all sorts of meat dishes.
“Hey, baby, this isn’t a meal.”
A dragon saw Feng Yuan diligently scooping ice cream and hurried over to stop him. “This is ice cream. Your dad said you can’t eat so much of it.”
Before they came, the dragons had received a food list.
Things that were too spicy or too cold, like ice cream, were things Feng Yuan was not allowed to eat much of.
If Feng Yuan didn’t cooperate, the dragon uncles could call his dads to make him cooperate.
The dragons didn’t want to call.
They didn’t want to tattle on the baby.
“Baby, this is cold. Let’s not eat it. Let’s go eat a proper meal.”
Instead of tattling, the dragons tried to patiently coax Feng Yuan.
Unfortunately, after ten minutes of coaxing, Feng Yuan was still eating big mouthfuls of ice cream without a pause.
The dragon uncles stared blankly.
Then, the dragon uncles fell silent and exchanged a look.
Bai Chen took the rest of the ice cream from Feng Yuan’s hand. Qing Hao joined Bai Chen in finishing off the remaining ice cream in one go.
Chi Rong picked up the cub, who was crying with his little face tilted up, while the silver dragon stood by and started comforting him.
The dragons were incredibly busy.
Feng Yuan had just tasted several flavors of ice cream and wasn’t finished yet.
“Yuan Yuan wants to eat. Yuan Yuan wants ice cream.”
Just as Feng Yuan was crying, the silver dragon had a stroke of genius and stuffed a large drumstick he had just gotten into Feng Yuan’s mouth.
The drumstick was delicious.
As Feng Yuan ate the drumstick, his crying came to an abrupt halt.
“Baby, this is yummy, too. Have a bite of this.”
Seeing that this distraction tactic was working, the other dragons also started feeding Feng Yuan.
Besides its tourism industry, the local area also has some impressive specialty foods.
Feng Yuan’s mouth was stuffed full of meat.
As he ate the meat in his mouth, he started opening his mouth on his own, wanting the uncles to feed him more.
The dragons loved feeding him, too.
Tears still clung to the little guy’s cheeks, but his mouth was already wide open.
This pitiful yet adorable sight was enough to melt the dragons’ hearts.
As they fed him, they started kissing Feng Yuan’s little cheeks.
“Baby, you’re really the best. You’re the best baby in the world.”
The dragons’ loves and hates were clear-cut.
If they liked something, they would spare no effort in praising it, expressing their feelings directly and straightforwardly.
Feng Yuan loved playing with his dragon uncles the most.
With his dragon uncles, he could always get the most, most praise.
Time ticked by.
Surrounded by his dragon uncles, Feng Yuan’s belly soon became round.
After his tummy was full, the dragon uncles placed him in a ball pit in a corner of the restaurant to play.
The pit, filled with colorful plastic balls, also had some other children’s toys.
Feng Yuan played with the balls inside, having a great time.
Once the dragons had him settled, they began to feast.
When the dragons finished eating and went to the ball pit to get the baby, they found their baby fast asleep among the balls.
Amidst the colorful balls slept a chubby, beautiful little cub.
This scene made the dragon uncles whip out their phones in unison and start snapping pictures.
After taking pictures, Qing Hao went in and carried Feng Yuan out.
“Who’s the baby sleeping with tonight?”
“With me!”
“Of course he’s sleeping with me!”
“Why should he sleep with you? He’s sleeping with me!”
The dragons, who had been quite harmonious just a moment ago, now looked like they were about to fight over the baby.
The silver dragon took a deep breath, trying hard to regain his composure.
As the brains of the group, the silver dragon calmly and coolly devised a plan.
“How about this, we’ll play rock-paper-scissors.”
The dragons had also learned the human game of rock-paper-scissors.
They used this method to decide who the baby would sleep with tonight.
Rock-paper-scissors required luck.
And Bai Chen’s luck turned out to be the best.
He won.
“I told you. The baby and I are the most fated.”
Bai Chen was extremely smug. “I was the one who carried the baby back in the first place.”
If he hadn’t carried the baby to the bottom of the sea, these dragons would never have even seen the baby!
In a victor’s stance, Bai Chen swaggered off with Feng Yuan in his arms.
Watching him carry the baby away, the remaining group of dragons was all a bit dejected.
“Sigh.”
“I’m going to bed.”
“Me, too.”
Having failed to get the baby, the dragons trudged back to their rooms, one by one, looking downcast.
Bai Chen’s room was to the left of Chi Rong’s.
On the way back, Chi Rong whispered to Bai Chen, trying to negotiate, “How about we sleep together? I can help you take care of the baby.”
Bai Chen: “?”
Although the group of dragons often slept together, now that they each had their own room, Bai Chen had no intention of squeezing in with another dragon.
He hugged the baby tighter and shot Chi Rong a wary glance.
“In your dreams!”
“The baby is mine tonight!”
Bai Chen slammed the door shut with a thwack, not allowing Chi Rong another look.
The door slammed so loudly that the other dragons heard it.
The dragons all huffed and pretended not to care, going about their own business.
Having won the baby, Bai Chen immediately started taking care of him upon returning to the room.
He didn’t wake the baby up for a bath. Instead, he took a towel and wiped the baby clean from head to toe.
After getting the baby all clean, Bai Chen lay down beside him, sniffing his little hands, then his little face.
He didn’t know if it was a psychological effect or if babies this small really had a unique cub scent.
In any case, to Bai Chen’s nose, the baby smelled fragrant and sweet.
He was so engrossed in watching the baby that he did nothing else.
Meanwhile, the other baby-less dragons were bored and playing on their phones.
The dragons were quite adept at using their phones.
They had even created a group chat.
One group included all of them.
Just then, Qing Hao sent a screenshot to the group.
Qing Hao: “[Shocked]”
Qing Hao: “How are our rooms so expensive!”
Blue Dragon: “???”
Silver Dragon: “???”
The other colored dragons: “???”
Chi Rong, who had just gotten out of the shower, followed up with: “???”
The group of dragons stared at the price in the picture, dumbfounded.
They recognized the room in the picture at a glance as the one they were currently staying in.
And this room was listed on the app platform for 2500 a night.
Of course, booking an entire floor like this would come with a discount.
The dragons didn’t know about the discount. Even if they did, they would probably still be shocked.
Because no matter the discount, this price was too terrifying.
Qing Hao: “Now I really believe it. Our Xiao Hong is going to get slept with QAQ.”
Silver Dragon: “Emmmm.”
Silver Dragon: “The money we spent on the rooms tonight… it couldn’t be Chi Rong’s selling price, could it?”
Blue Dragon: “[Laughing][Laughing][Laughing]”
Blue Dragon: “[Retracted a message]”
Blue Dragon: “[Crying][Crying][Crying]”
Blue Dragon: “My poor Xiao Hong!”
Silver Dragon: “[Eye Roll]”
The silver dragon and Chi Rong were the closest. They had even shared a dragon’s den before.
After sending the eye-roll emoji to the blue dragon in the group chat, the silver dragon was about to privately message Chi Rong for a chat.
But Chi Rong didn’t reply.
Just after sending that message, Chi Rong had heard a knock on his door.
When there’s a knock, of course, you have to open the door and see.
So, Chi Rong put down his phone and went to open the door.
The door opened.
He saw the very person who had just been the subject of discussion in the group chat.
Chi Rong: “…”
Chi Rong’s conditioned reflex was to slam the door shut.
But he only closed it a little before stopping.
He thought about the screenshot from the group chat. He couldn’t hold back, averted his gaze, and spoke.
“Why did you book such expensive rooms for us?”
“We don’t have the money to pay you back.”
“And I’m not going to sleep with you.”
After Chi Rong said this, the person in front of him did not react.
He sensed something was wrong.
“Hey, you, what’s wrong with you?”
Chi Rong looked at Yu Ye’s face again.
This time, he saw the problem. “Are you drunk?”
Chi Rong smelled alcohol.
He reached out and waved a hand in front of Yu Ye’s face.
The next second, his hand was caught.
The moment his hand was grabbed, Chi Rong yanked it back and, in a reflex, slapped Yu Ye across the face.
It was purely a conditioned reflex.
But after the reflex, he thought about the expensive room price and then looked at the drunk man.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and pulled this person, who had clearly gone to the wrong door, into his room to rest.
“You don’t look that stupid. How could you even get the door wrong?”
Chi Rong was extremely annoyed. After pulling the man in, he slammed the door shut again with a thwack.
For adults, a rainy night like this could be busy or leisurely.
But for a little cub like Feng Yuan, it was perfect weather for sleeping.
The big bed in the high-priced room was soft and comfortable.
Feng Yuan’s small body on the large bed, when viewed from above, had a kind of heart-melting cuteness.
Bai Chen cupped his face and watched him for half the night.
He watched for half the night and still hadn’t had enough. But for the sake of the next day’s itinerary, he decided to get some sleep.
As he slept, Bai Chen carefully gathered Feng Yuan’s small body into his arms.
His movements were quite gentle.
But Feng Yuan was much more unrestrained. After being pulled into the embrace, the little guy directly draped his chubby little leg over Uncle Bai Chen’s body.
Bai Chen looked at his chubby little leg. On a whim, Bai Chen deliberately pressed his own leg on top of it.
The little guy, with his eyes closed, just frowned.
Then, he forcefully pulled his chubby little leg out and draped it back over Uncle Bai Chen’s leg.
Bai Chen: “…”
Bai Chen pressed down on it again.
The little guy tenaciously pulled his chubby little leg out again.
After this repeated several times, Bai Chen, who was supposed to be sleeping, almost burst out laughing.
He finally understood.
It turned out the baby’s chubby little leg had to be on top.
The baby, who was getting a little annoyed, still didn’t open his eyes.
He kept his eyes closed and kicked his chubby little legs vigorously.
Seeing that he was angry, Bai Chen finally adhered to the “chubby leg on top” principle and let his chubby leg rest on his own.
The big one and the small one slept side by side for the night.
The next day.
When Feng Yuan woke up, he saw Uncle Ji from yesterday.
Uncle Ji looked like he hadn’t slept well. There were dark circles under his eyes.
When he came over, he brought a gift for Feng Yuan.
“Little friend Yuan Yuan, Uncle wants to invite you out to play today. No, we’re not just going to play today.”
“We’re going to clean up the unscrupulous tourism industry, how about it?”
Feng Yuan: “!”
Feng Yuan was instantly interested.
He asked with a happy little face, “Uncle Ji, can we punish those bad people?”
“Of course, we can. Uncle won’t bring anyone else today. I’ll take you alone to see the places you went to yesterday.”
“Okay!”
Seeing that Uncle Ji wasn’t bringing anyone, Feng Yuan looked at his own dragon uncles.
His little face showed a moment of struggle.
“Uncle Ji, will we just go for a little while and come right back?”
“Yes.”
Hearing that it was just for a little while, Feng Yuan quickly began to negotiate with his uncles.
“You guys go eat. Yuan Yuan is going to be busy for a bit.”
“I’ll be back in a little while.”
Feng Yuan wanted to point out all the traps he had fallen into yesterday to Uncle Ji.
The other dragons were worried about him and decided to go along as well.
As for Chi Rong, who hadn’t woken up early, the other dragons decided to call him later.
That way, they would have one less competitor!
The dragons played rock-paper-scissors once again.
Soon, the winning dragon was chosen: the silver dragon.
The silver dragon took Feng Yuan and accompanied Mayor Ji, who was traveling incognito, to the scenic spots they had visited yesterday.
Mayor Ji even paid for their transportation.
Mayor Ji hadn’t told anyone about his itinerary for the day.
He also wanted to see for himself what the tourist areas had become.
“Uncle Ji, it’s this little boat.”
In the scenic area, Feng Yuan successfully found the small boat he had ridden yesterday.
Ji Shuwan looked at the small raft and smiled.
“Yuan Yuan, come on. Let’s ride it again together.”
Feng Yuan was a little hesitant.
He had almost been shaken into the water yesterday.
He wasn’t afraid of falling into the water, but Uncle Ji was a human and would be afraid of water.
Ji Shuwan had already gone to negotiate the price.
Yesterday, when Feng Yuan rode it, it was 120. Today, the owner was asking for 150.
The owner’s pricing had no uniform standard at all. He charged based on who he was dealing with.
“Uncle Ji, are you sure you want to ride it?”
“Yes. Does Yuan Yuan want to ride, too? If you do, Uncle Ji will hold you tight.”
Feng Yuan, who wasn’t the least bit afraid of drowning, looked at the determined Uncle Ji and said with a firm expression, “Yuan Yuan will ride, too. Yuan Yuan will protect Uncle Ji.”
Ji Shuwan laughed heartily. “Alright. I’ll count on Yuan Yuan to protect Uncle.”
The small boat could only hold two people at a time. Ji Shuwan wanted to pay for the silver dragon to take another raft, but the silver dragon declined.
“I’ll just wait for you here.”
The silver dragon sat on the bank, playing around.
Ji Shuwan held Feng Yuan and boarded the small boat with a smile.
The boat had been moving for a few minutes.
Sure enough, just like yesterday, the owner started asking Ji Shuwan for a tip.
Ji Shuwan was dressed plainly today, and his face constantly wore a smile. It was a stark contrast to the serious demeanor he usually had on the television news.
Looking like this, he wouldn’t be recognized in a crowd by anyone who didn’t frequently watch the news.
The boat owner, who did business here every day, naturally didn’t recognize him either.
So, after Ji Shuwan refused to give a tip, the owner resorted to his old trick and started deliberately rocking the boat from side to side.
This was the first time Ji Shuwan had ever encountered such a thing.
He had intended to grab onto the sides of the boat, but he had a cub hanging on his chest.
His hands were shielding the cub, leaving him with no extra hands to grab the raft.
Splash—
Ji Shuwan was directly shaken into the water.
Feng Yuan was already concentrating with all his might. He was also the first to notice when Uncle Ji’s body swayed.
He reached out his chubby little hand, wanting to grab Uncle Ji.
But Feng Yuan, who was just a little fatty among the cubs, was far too light compared to a grown man.
He tried to grab Uncle Ji, but ended up falling into the water himself.
Feng Yuan could breathe freely in the water.
After seeing Uncle Ji fall in, he tried to use his own chubby body to push him up.
But he couldn’t budge him.
Just as Ji Shuwan was choking on water, the silver dragon, who had been on the bank, swam over.
With the silver dragon there, Ji Shuwan was quickly dragged ashore.
Once on land, Ji Shuwan clutched his chest and began to cough violently.
The owner of the small boat came over as well.
The owner pointed to a sign on the bank and said, “Sir, it’s written here that we are not responsible for any accidents that occur while riding the boat.”
Ji Shuwan was still coughing and couldn’t speak.
When he finally could, his face was red with anger.
“The ‘accidents’ on there refer to unavoidable situations!”
“Was what you just did an accident?!”
“You deliberately rocked the boat because I didn’t give you a tip. You call that an accident?!”
“Who said I did it on purpose? There was a wave on the lake just now, and I accidentally lost my balance.”
“Alright, you’re on shore now, and you’re done with the boat. Our business is concluded.”
As the boat owner spoke, he walked away from them.
Watching the departing boat, Ji Shuwan was so furious he could barely catch his breath.
The silver dragon had a bag with him when they set out.
It contained a change of clothes for Feng Yuan. When he went into the water, he had left the bag on the bank, so it didn’t get wet.
Thus, the silver dragon stripped off the soaked Feng Yuan’s little clothes right there on the bank.
With his clothes off, Feng Yuan’s little face turned as red as a ripe tomato.
“Uncle, people are looking at Yuan Yuan.”
“It’s because Yuan Yuan is good-looking that they’re looking at you.”
As the silver dragon spoke, he dried Feng Yuan’s little body and dressed him in clean, new clothes.
Feng Yuan had a change of clothes, but Ji Shuwan did not.
After changing his baby’s clothes, the silver dragon looked over at Ji Shuwan.
Ji Shuwan waved his hand. “Don’t worry about me. The sun’s out now. My clothes should be dry in a bit.”
Ji Shuwan didn’t change, nor did he say he was leaving.
He was seething with anger. After composing himself for a moment, he proceeded to visit the other places where Feng Yuan had been scammed.
Not a single word of Feng Yuan’s complaints from the previous day had been an exaggeration.
Even though Ji Shuwan knew there were scams, he stubbornly went to experience every single one of them.
After making a round of the scenic area, Ji Shuwan, still not convinced, went to two other scenic areas.
The results were just as disappointing.
These famous, major scenic areas all had problems, to a greater or lesser extent.
They didn’t go back to the jade shop that had kicked Feng Yuan out the day before.
That was because the shop had been shut down that very morning.
The owner of the jade shop had only just seen the message on WeChat that morning.
He immediately recognized the car in the photo that the sales assistant had sent.
After recognizing the car, the jade shop owner’s vision started to go dark first thing in the morning.
“It’s over. It’s over. I’m finished.”
His shop had cooperated with many tour groups.
He had been doing this for so long. It had always been smooth sailing, without any incidents.
But this time, his shop had really messed with the wrong person!
The sales assistant was also taken away.
After being taken into custody, the sales assistant and the tour guide from the travel group actually ran into each other.
The tour guide had already been interrogated. His face was pale, and his steps were unsteady.
As the sales assistant passed him and saw his state, she herself was so scared she could barely walk.
Back in the scenic area.
Feng Yuan had been accompanying Uncle Ji all morning.
For lunch, they went to another one of the scammy restaurants.
By now, having been scammed so much, Ji Shuwan had become completely calm.
However, this calmness was only on the surface.
What he was truly feeling inside, no one could know.
In the afternoon.
Feng Yuan finally returned to the hotel. And just after he got back, Ji Shuwan was admitted to the hospital.
Falling into the water that morning, the high intensity of visiting so many places, coupled with the food issues and his emotional state…
The 50-year-old Mayor Ji finally couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed.
The news of Ji Shuwan’s hospitalization sent shockwaves through all parties.
Everyone rushed to the hospital while simultaneously trying to find out the reason for his collapse.
At this point, Ji Shuwan no longer bothered to hide it.
Since he didn’t want to hide it, the details of his half-day itinerary were naturally dug up.
Upon learning of Ji Shuwan’s ordeal, the heads of the scenic areas nearly ended up in the hospital themselves.
Previously, when it came to problems with the scenic areas, the people at the bottom could always find ways to muddle through.
But now, Ji Shuwan was lying in a hospital bed. He was utterly furious.
In an instant, no one dared to pull any more tricks.
After receiving a few IV drips in the hospital, Ji Shuwan sat up in his bed and held a meeting right there in his room.
The theme of the meeting in the hospital room was the vigorous overhaul of the tourism industry.
The meeting in the hospital room lasted for several hours.
After the meeting concluded, the local news station broadcast a report that very evening.
And in this report, Feng Yuan also made an appearance.
Feng Yuan was interviewed under a tree outdoors.
He wore a white short-sleeved shirt with a cartoon character on it, and on his lower half, a pair of shorts that exposed his knees. Below the shorts, his little shoes were light-up sandals.
In addition to this fresh-looking outfit, Feng Yuan also wore a yellow baseball cap on his little head.
Around his neck, he had tied a red scarf himself.
The little cub, wearing the red scarf, faced the camera and spoke with great seriousness about the problems he encountered while traveling.
Feng Yuan wasn’t the only one interviewed in the news segment. There were other tourists as well.
If you counted carefully, there were quite a few tourists who were interviewed.
But among so many tourists, Feng Yuan, this tiny little tourist, was the most eye-catching.
The evening news, which usually didn’t get much attention, saw its ratings skyrocket that night after this report was broadcast.
The rebroadcasts of this news segment, as well as on-demand viewings, all saw soaring ratings.
And Feng Yuan, the righteous little tourist, shot straight to the top of the trending list on short-video platforms.
Under the posts of multiple marketing accounts that had re-shared the news, the comment sections were filled with people fawning over “Baby Yuan Yuan.”
“My Yuan Yuan is on the news! Oh my god. I haven’t seen him in a few days, and my baby is already so accomplished!”
“Ahhh, so cute! The little yellow hat, the red scarf, how can my baby be this cute!”
“Hahaha, I’m dying. What the heck is that caption under Yuan Yuan, ‘Righteous Little Tourist’?”
“Waaaah, thank you, Yuan Yuan, for speaking up! I went to the scenic area in Long City last year and got scammed so badly. I’m a student, and I joined a tour group. The sales assistant forced us to buy things. If we didn’t, they would leave us behind.”
“As someone who has also been scammed, I’m so happy to see this news!”
A crowd of people was celebrating, while Feng Yuan was holding his uncle’s phone, having watched the news several times already.
His chubby little face looked a bit gloomy as he watched.
“They filmed Yuan Yuan so fat!”
Feng Yuan poked the screen, his milky voice a little dejected. “Yuan Yuan isn’t cute anymore.”
The footage in the news interview was shot by a reporter.
Footage shot by a reporter was, naturally, the most realistic.
In the realistic footage, Feng Yuan was actually filmed very handsomely.
But the little one had always been concerned about his chubbiness.
So, upon seeing the little fatty on screen, the little guy was a bit crushed.
“Baby is cute.”
The dragon watching the news with Feng Yuan patted his chubby little face and said with great certainty, “Especially cute!”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan shook his head. After watching the news one more time, he made a resolute decision.
“Uncle, Yuan Yuan wants to go on a diet!”
He wanted to become a little thinner, so the next time he was on the news, he would be cute again.
Hearing his request to go on a diet, the dragons fell silent for a few seconds.
A few seconds later, the silver dragon handed over a peeled gummy candy.
Feng Yuan took it and ate it.
Chi Rong handed over his favorite chocolate.
Feng Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, then took it and ate it.
Chi Rong handed over a beautifully shaped pastry.
Feng Yuan didn’t take it with his hand.
He leaned his little face forward and snatched it with his mouth in one big “ah-woo” bite.
Watching the cub who had eaten candy, chocolate, and a pastry in such a short time, the group of dragons was completely relieved.
Thank goodness.
The little guy couldn’t get thin.
Looking at the chubby, beautiful baby, the dragons revealed satisfied smiles.
Moonlit: This is soooo meeee!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Me before Christmas and New Year: I’ll be on a diet! I’m going to lose weight! That will be my goal for this year!
Also me during Christmas and New Year: Nom-nom-nom! Cake! Nom-nom-nom! Ham! Nom-nom-nom! Porkchop!
