“Look! It’s Sousou no Fuli Lian!”
“No, this is clearly Fei Ji Bei!”
“What the hell are you talking about? This is clearly the flying twin-tailed claw hacker girl!”
Just because a swordsman in the movie accidentally stirred up a typhoon, and there was a dead cockroach in the wind, netizens went crazy all of a sudden.
How crazy were they? Even on the movie’s premiere day, Douban reviews couldn’t get around that cockroach.
Even though the movie was full of beautiful actors, their attention was completely on that bug of unknown gender.
For a moment, the director and all the actors fell into silence.
What went wrong? Could it be that someone set them up?
Four months after the movie’s release.
The situation remained unchanged.
“You know, our movie has a Douban rating of nine points. It should be a very good masterpiece, right?”
Song Qiuyu looked at the computer screen comments, gently stroking her ten-month pregnant belly, her face full of confusion.
“Then why is the comment section still basically talking about that cockroach?”
“Maybe it’s because the New Year is coming, and everyone is doing spring cleaning.”
Jiang Xiao said while peeling an apple.
“?”
Song Qiuyu looked at Jiang Xiao with a strange expression, then blinked twice. After thinking for a moment, she agreed with that statement.
In the first half of her life, when she lived alone at home, every New Year’s spring cleaning would sweep out a lot of cockroaches.
Strangely enough, she was very particular about hygiene. Even if she saw cockroaches and mosquitoes, she would shoo them outside. So why were so many still hiding in the dark?
Hmm…
They must have flown over from the neighbor’s house!
“It’s not just the comment section talking about cockroaches. For the past few months, the internet has been full of cockroach memes from this movie, and they’ve even been urging the production company to collaborate with Frieren!”
Jiang Yu stopped chatting with Sang Tian, looked up from his phone screen, and shifted his gaze to his sister-in-law.
“So you’re saying that all our hard work on the movie can’t even compare to one shot of a cockroach?”
Song Qiuyu lowered her head, feeling a deep sense of defeat.
After all, she had even won a Best Newcomer Award and a Best Supporting Actress Award for this movie.
The trophies were still in her room.
She recalled the grandeur of the awards ceremony that day, but the beautiful memories suddenly changed midway. Her two large trophies had been swapped out for two cockroaches!
Each one was bigger than her head.
She was the only one panicking. All the audience members, including the host, became even more excited because of the cockroaches.
Born as a human, working hard to improve acting skills, yet unable to attract as much attention as a cockroach—what a failure.
“It’s okay, child. The internet has a short memory. As long as a new meme appears, they’ll quickly forget about this cockroach.”
Grandma Jiang placed the freshly stewed chicken soup in front of Song Qiuyu and said with a warm smile, “Here, have some chicken soup.”
Hearing this, Song Qiuyu immediately put down her phone and nodded obediently, but she didn’t take Grandma Jiang’s words seriously.
Once a meme is formed, it will never be forgotten. Even if it’s overused, people will still keep using it.
Seeing that Grandma Jiang was about to serve her soup, she quickly waved her hand and said, “Grandma, I’ll do it myself!”
Grandma Jiang was touched by her granddaughter-in-law’s thoughtfulness, but she was quite persistent about serving the soup and didn’t want to hand it over.
However, Grandma Jiang wasn’t the only one vying to serve the soup.
Jiang’s mother also wanted to show her goodwill as a mother-in-law.
After all, she had been pregnant for ten months and was about to give birth.
“You should rest more and not upset the pregnancy.”
After saying that, Jiang’s mother reached out to take the small bowl used for serving soup from the table.
“Grandma, Mom, let me do it.”
Jiang Xiao put the peeled apple on a plate and snatched the small bowl first.
“No manners. What did Mom teach you since you were little? Respect the elderly and love the young!”
Jiang’s mother glared at Jiang Xiao and took the bowl away.
“You’re the one who doesn’t know manners! The oldest person in this house is me!”
Grandma Jiang said, taking the bowl back into her own hands.
Seeing the three of them at odds, Song Qiuyu’s expression was a mix of tension, helplessness, and happiness.
No other reason—this had been the norm for the past four months.
Over these four months, because of her growing belly, she had to ask her advisor for leave. But that black-hearted advisor, even if a student was pregnant, would still keep pushing her.
So she just stopped going to school. Even at home, she still had to provide scripts for the production team from time to time.
Whenever Jiang Xiao had time, he would come home to take care of her. Of course, even when he came home, he brought tasks from his advisor.
Worried that running back and forth would wear him out, she had advised him several times.
After all, in their graduate program, it was okay at the beginning, but later on, they had to wake up at five in the morning to prepare for class, and classes would end around eleven at night.
Occasionally, if the advisor was in a good mood, they would be let out early.
During these four months, her parents from their hometown had also come to visit her several times. After they arrived, there were even more people vying to take care of her.
The house was filled with tension every day, and it was really overwhelming.
Xia Qi’s situation was similar.
At school, she was more tired than an ox, but at home, she was treated like a treasure by her parents.
Moreover, her due date was close to Xia Qi’s. Maybe they would give birth around the same time?
The thought that she was about to become a mother made her feel both excited and nervous, and she felt it was truly incredible for herself.
Feeling a sudden movement, Song Qiuyu was slightly startled.
Realizing again that a new life in her belly was about to be born, her eyes flickered, and her expression unconsciously became softer and softer.
“What is it, Xi’er?”
Jiang Xiao was the first to notice her difference, looked at her, and said worriedly.
“It’s nothing. It’s just that the baby seems to have kicked me twice.”
Song Qiuyu shook her head gently and said softly.
“What?” Jiang Xiao squinted, looking at his wife’s swollen belly, as if his gaze could see through many things and directly spot the unfilial child inside.
“It’s okay. When this unfilial child comes out, I’ll teach him a lesson for you and spank his butt until it’s red!”
“…”
Song Qiuyu’s eyes widened like copper bells, then she couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and nodded a few times in agreement.
“Okay, I’ll spank him with you then! That’s our parental love combination technique!”
“Good kids are raised under the love combination technique!”
Song Qiuyu firmly believed in that.
Of course, as a child herself, she didn’t want her parents to hit her, but as a child, she also didn’t have parents who hit her.
She knew very well that pain is an indispensable part of youth.
But she had missed it forever.
So, she would never let her child’s youth be incomplete.
A life with crying and laughing, with pain and happiness—that is a complete life!
“Alright, we’ll team up for a double spanking!” Jiang Xiao patted his wife’s cute little head and said with a doting smile.
Hearing this, Grandma Jiang and Jiang’s mother couldn’t help but laugh.
They had just been fighting over serving soup, but now they tacitly placed the small bowl in Jiang Xiao’s hands, letting the father-to-be do it.
Jiang Xiao didn’t stand on ceremony. He quickly and carefully ladled the soup, then tried blowing on it. Confirming that it was still very hot, he set it on the table, then picked up a small piece of apple with a toothpick and brought it to his wife’s lips.
Seeing this, Song Qiuyu smiled sweetly, parted her lips, and breathed out a warm breath, ready to eat the small piece of apple.
Just then, the expression on her pretty face suddenly changed. She felt something—why were her pants wet?
Over the past four months, there had been several embarrassing incidents of not being able to hold in urine. Could it be that again?
She was a little dazed.
She felt again.
No, this didn’t seem like urine… it was… her water breaking?
