Vase cannon fodder is pampered by the group again

Chapter 46.2 Crown Prince

Editor: Jodi

Jiang Shu guided everyone enthusiastically to look at the styles they had seen yesterday, acting as if the earlier scene had never happened.

And as they were all adults, the crowd selectively forgot her moment of idiocy and laughed and joked with her in front of the camera, showing harmony and humor.

Shen Ci wandered around, occasionally giving simple responses like “En”, “Okay”, and “Yes” to others’ questions, very laid-back.

“You are too easygoing, right?” A female artist said to Shen Ci with a smile. Her name was Cheng Yun, a cool sister and an up-and-coming singer with a neutral style.

Another cute female artist named Guo Nuan Nuan also chimed in.

Shen Ci laughed, “I don’t have good taste, so I’ll just rely entirely on you all. I’ll just do the heavy lifting!”

“We wouldn’t dare let you lift anything with those small arms and legs of yours!” Zhou Yang, a male artist, laughed loudly as he pinched and squeezed Shen Ci’s thin arm.

Shen Ci cooperatively put on a mock-embarrassed expression, and everyone laughed cheerfully.

And seeing that Shen Ci was attracting attention even without doing anything at the back, Jiang Shu cursed him in her heart angrily. What an annoying fly.

Then she immediately started guiding everyone to look at the next type of home furnishings noisily, diverting the attention of the group and the cameras.

Then hiding her smugness, she led the group away.

Hmph, just a pretty vase of a newcomer with no experience. Didn’t the cameras still return to her?

Meanwhile Shen Ci, who had fallen behind finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw the attention shift.

Shopping was really exhausting, he wanted to find a place to rest.

“Want to sleep?” Brother Zhang asked from off-camera.

Shen Ci nodded and plopped onto a nearby sofa, stretching lazily. “I’m a bit worn out. Last night’s sleep was terrible.”

He usually slept a lot, but last night’s sleep was awful, so it was almost as if he hadn’t slept at all, what’s more he nearly dozed off in the car earlier.

Wei Shuo took his jacket off and draped it over him, pinching his cheek as he did so. “If you tease me again, I’ll have to hit you!”

Shen Ci stuck his tongue out at him playfully, “Bleh~”

Then he relaxed on the sofa with his eyes closed, and the manager immediately lit some calming incense and instructed all staff to avoid disturbing him.

Two hours later…

“Hey? Xiao Ci is sleeping here!” Zhou Yang, who hadn’t been able to find Shen Ci, finally saw him dozing off on the sofa and chuckled.

He moved to wake Shen Ci, but someone pressed on his shoulder.

Shao Jinhuan frowned, “Let him sleep.”

Zhou Yang: “…Sure, but dude, your grip hurts a bit.”

Not only Zhou Yang, even Cheng Yun and the others also came back looking for him and were dumbfounded to see him sleeping.

This kid really had a big heart.

Not participating in the variety show discussions was one thing, but now he was sleeping away from the range of the cameras and giving up exposure?

He was simply….

“Ah, he’s so adorably silly. I want to be a fan.”

“No wonder he has so many ‘mom fans’. He’s naturally silly, haha.”

“Falling asleep in this environment is impressive! He really loves sleeping.”

“…”

Everyone gathered around Shen Ci as if they were watching a monkey, then they subconsciously took out their phones to snap pictures. Some even posed for selfies with him as the background.

And Shen Ci, sleeping soundly, had no idea he had become a live exhibit.

The cameras also returned, filming Shen Ci sleeping from every angle, and seeing his sleep posture becoming more foolish, Brother Zhang woke him up quickly.

“How could he fall asleep here? This is a mall. Does he really think this is his home.” Jiang Shu whispered to her assistant.

Wei Shuo sneered as he glanced at her. “Sorry, but it really is his home.”

Meanwhile Shen Ci sat up on the sofa groggily, and the manager immediately handed him mouthwash and a towel, which he accepted in a natural manner.

Jiang Shu: “…”

Everyone had lunch, then they went back to shop until the afternoon, then began their return journey. By now, everyone was used to the bumpy ride and so could even chat calmly.

The selected furniture would be delivered the next day, which meant that their task for today was complete, so they disbanded on the spot.

Shen Ci and Wei Shuo were looking for a place to grab dinner when they ran into the director.

The director smiled so broadly that the wrinkles on his face showed. “Perfect timing, go to the first building of the little inn. From now on, we will have Michelin chefs cooking for everyone!”

Wei Shuo was stunned. “So your show isn’t poor? Then why didn’t you invite the chefs earlier?”

Director: “We’re still poor. The chefs were donated by a kind person!”

Shen Ci & Wei Shuo: “???”

As soon as they entered the first building, Shen Ci saw familiar faces—these busy chefs…weren’t they from Lu Xiao’s home!

The chefs greeted Shen Ci with a smile and called him “Little Young Master”, but when others came over, they reverted to their high-and-mighty chef personas.

Zhou Yang: “I have good reason to believe, Shen Xiao Ci, that you’re the prince of this small county.”

Shen Ci: “…Honestly, I suspect that too.”

Shen Ci often ate at Lu Xiao’s house, so the chefs’ food suited his taste. And after days without proper food, he was almost moved to tears at the table.

After eating his fill, he went for a walk with Wei Shuo, taking the neighbor’s big dog along.

“I have to say, Uncle Lu really goes all out, afraid you’ll suffer any bit of hardship.” Wei Shuo said casually while taking selfies, “Who would have thought that his influence would even reach this small place?”

Shen Ci agreed, thinking he needed to talk to Lu Xiao. So he took out his phone to make a call.

And it just so happened that the cameraman was also following them, so Shen Ci wanted to use this opportunity to call so he could, by the way, explain to the show and the audience about the strange occurrences, revealing whose handiwork it was.

…After all, what happened today must have seemed magical to everyone.

Shen Ci dialed a familiar number, however after a few beeps, the call was hung up.

Shen Ci frowned, looking at his phone. “How could Little Uncle hang up on me?”

He was muttering to himself when his phone suddenly vibrated, the screen showing—

Lu Xiao invites you to a video call.
