Chapter 29: The Same Excitement

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I’m coming.” Fu Xin quickly walked over. “You’re awesome, son!”

Jiang Xinyuan looked nervous and waited for his mother to do something. However, his mother did not hug him immediately like how Aunt Zhang Nan hugged Feng Jun, nor did she kiss his face. She only praised him. He was a little disappointed, but he quickly thought up a reason. Perhaps his mother was too excited and would only kiss him after getting the cauliflower?

Hence, he stayed obediently by Fu Xin’s side and even quietly approached her. His pink and cute face looked very calm, but his slightly flickering eyes had already exposed his excitement and anticipation.

Fu Xin didn’t realize what the little guy was thinking at all. She was panting as she plucked the cauliflower out from the ground.

[Didn’t Fu Xin see Little Jelly’s desire?]

[Fu Xin, have you received any professional training? Little Jelly is already looking at you so directly. Aren’t you going to hug him and kiss him?]

[As happy as Little Jelly was when he found the cauliflower, that’s how sad he is now! Fu Xin is really infuriating!]

…

Fu Xin had no idea what the viewers were angry about. She was only concerned about the mission. She and Jiang Xinyuan could have lunch now. When she got up, she saw Zhang Nan and Feng Jun holding hands. Their hands were still trembling from happiness.

Just as everyone thought that Fu Xin was about to come to her senses, she suddenly lowered her voice and said to Jiang Xinyuan, “Everyone will be eating lunch together, right? Will we get a share of the potatoes in their hands?”

Jiang Xinyuan nodded. “Uncle Director said that we’ll all eat together, but those who haven’t found anything can’t eat unless someone else gives the food to them.”

“Alright, I’m relieved.” Fu Xin continued walking happily. Then, she realized that the little guy wasn’t following her. She turned around and saw that he was dejected. “What’s wrong? Didn’t we find the right vegetable?”

Jiang Xinyuan lowered his head and said in a low voice that he was fine. He was too embarrassed to say that he was in a bad mood because he was not kissed by his mother, so he could only remain silent.

Fu Xin sized him up seriously, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She patted the little guy and said, “Don’t fret over these things.”

Jiang Xinyuan panicked, thinking that his mother had seen through his thoughts. Hearing his mother’s words, sadness and disappointment welled up in his heart, and his eyes began to sting. He did not dare to cry in front of his mother over such a small matter, nor did he want to make his mother impatient. He was afraid it would make her unhappy.

He began to comfort himself again. His mother had just returned. She might not be used to kissing and hugging him. He would wait a little longer…

“You might not be the first to find it, but you’re the second. You’re amazing too! Don’t be so competitive.”

Jiang Xinyuan: “???” It turned out that his mother did not see through his thoughts; she had misunderstood. In other words, his mother did not resist kissing him. It was just that she did not have the habit of kissing children for the time being. However, he really wanted to kiss his mother. His gaze quietly landed on his mother’s face. He had never been kissed by his mother in his life. He had never kissed his mother’s face either. He was so envious of other children.

Just as he was feeling crestfallen, his mother suddenly took his hand. His heart was pounding, and when he looked up, he saw his mother’s sweet smile.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the warm hand, afraid that his mother would leave.

Fu Xin smiled. “Let’s run faster. If we surpass them, we’ll be the first to receive the reward. How about that?”

“Okay.” Jiang Xinyuan nodded vigorously.

“Then let’s run away quietly first so that they won’t discover us. This is called ‘all’s fair in war.'” Fu Xin chuckled.

Jiang Xinyuan also lowered his voice. “Okay.”

The mother and son held hands and ran forward quietly.

Although Fu Xin looked so calm on the surface, she was excited on the inside. This was the first time she was holding Jiang Xinyuan’s hand like this. She was worried that he did not like this kind of closeness. After all, in the past five years, the original host had never been so close to Jiang Xinyuan. What if he was already used to keeping a distance from others?

Moreover, the little guy was too shy. The last time she hugged him to sleep for a while, he blushed and ran away.

Fu Xin didn’t care what the audience watching the live broadcast thought, nor did she care about being rejected. She was just worried that if she was rejected by her son the first time she held hands with him, she would have to pay attention to the boundaries between them to make the two of them feel more comfortable. Fortunately, he didn’t resist.

Recalling the interaction between Zhang Nan and Feng Jun just now, she was also a little tempted. The little guy’s face was so soft and tender, so it must be very nice to kiss him. However, knowing that he didn’t know how to refuse, she decided not to advance rashly. It wouldn’t be good if the kiss was forced.
