Heartbeat - Chapter 10

At that moment, Shen Xun was unaware of the devastating impact her face had. After letting the cameraman into her home, she asked, “When are we leaving? Is there anything else you need to film?”

Even Xu Yidi, an omega, couldn’t help but glance at Shen Xun several times. Snapping out of her daze when Shen Xun asked the question, she replied, “Oh, right, Teacher Shen. Could we film the items you’ve packed in your suitcases? And if it’s convenient, would you mind if we filmed your room as well?”

Shen Xun nodded slightly. “That’s fine.”

With that, Shen Xun opened her two large suitcases. The camera captured the neatly organized array of items, categorized by area.

“That compartment over there contains toiletries,” Shen Xun explained to the camera. “The small bag next to it holds my skincare and makeup. The compartment below contains a massage device, and the bag beside it holds underwear. The bottom compartment holds my everyday clothes. In the other suitcase, the left side is entirely clothing, and the right side contains several pairs of unworn shoes.”

What truly astonished viewers was the extraordinary orderliness of her suitcase. The clothes were folded into perfect, uniform squares, resembling the meticulous arrangement of military uniforms. This sent the live chat into a frenzy of amusement.

Hahaha, Baby Shen Xun is so adorable! Her things are arranged way too neatly!

Seriously, this is a compulsive person’s dream come true. It’s so satisfying to watch.

Shen Xun is still as meticulous as she was as a child, doing everything with such precision and method.

Exactly! You can tell she’s destined to become a powerful female CEO.

Love it, love it! I adore girls who are so clean and organized.

Aaaah, I don’t want our Baby Shen Xun to be on a dating reality show! I don’t want her to fall in love at all!

Me too, me too! I don’t want our precious cabbage to be rooted up by some wild boar!

“Let’s go,” Shen Xun said, leading the camera crew and staff upstairs. “I’ll show you my room. There’s really nothing special about it.”

She pushed open the door and stepped inside first. “Everyone, come take a look.”

The cameraman hurried in to film. Shen Xun’s room was impeccably tidy. The bed, desk, and chairs were arranged in perfect order, and the overall color scheme was black and white, creating a bright and spacious atmosphere. The only thing that seemed out of place was the row of pig figurines on the black bookshelf.

The shelves were filled with piglet plush toys and jade carvings of pigs in various colors. The camera captured the scene, and Xu Yidi asked curiously, “Teacher Shen seems to really like pigs? These entire rows of bookshelves are filled with them.”

Shen Xun’s gaze softened as she looked at the rows of piglet figurines. A faint smile finally curved her lips. “Mm, they were a gift from my sister.”

In the live stream chat, the comments exploded:

Wait, who is this “sister”? We need details!

Chu chu chu, Shen Xun doesn’t seem like the type to like cute plushies. And these pigs clash with the rest of her room’s decor. Which sister has earned Shen Xun’s favor?

Hiss hiss hiss, could it be a romantic sister?

No, no, no! Our Baby Shen Xun is too young! Mom doesn’t approve of dating!

Aaaah! This is killing me! Which sister is it? Camera crew, just ask already!

The camerawoman, Xu Yidi, felt too awkward to ask Shen Xun such a personal question. She carried her camera around the room, filming until she had enough footage, then followed Shen Xun downstairs.

“Miss Shen, next we’ll film some everyday scenes of your family, like having breakfast together. That should take us to the end of our time,” Xu Yidi said.

Shen Xun looked directly at the camera and said earnestly, “But we’ve already eaten.”

“Then we can just film some other daily activities,” Xu Yidi quickly replied.

“Alright, do as you please,” Shen Xun said, and she followed Xu Yidi and the crew downstairs.

Downstairs, Shen Tian held Lu Ningwan’s hand, occasionally glancing upstairs. When she saw her daughter descending, Shen Tian gave her a sweet smile.

“Mom, Mommy,” Shen Xun called out as she walked over.

“We’re about to leave for work,” Shen Tian said softly, “but I wanted to see you one last time. Take good care of yourself. Your mom and I will miss you.”

“I know, Mommy. I’m only going away for half a month. I’ll be back soon.”

In the live chat, a barrage of “hahahaha” flooded the screen.

Hahahaha, Shen Xun’s mommy is so cute! Why is she so clingy?

Right? Shen Xun is such a cool kid, how come her mommy is such a sweetie?

Have you guys not seen “Rural Cuties”? Shen Xun’s mommy was absolutely adorable on that dating reality show. She even liked to flirt with her wife and call her “Sister”!

Really? I need to catch up on those episodes!

Seriously! Shen Tian and Lu Ningwan, and Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing, were so sweet together. I watched that variety show like it was a dating reality show!

Great! I’m going to binge-watch it now!

Shen Xun followed the cameraman and staff into the car. Unlike Su Jianyue’s lively demeanor, Shen Xun remained mostly silent after getting in.

Xu Yidi broke the silence. “Um, Teacher Shen, we have three questions for you. Would you mind…?”

“Go ahead,” Shen Xun replied, maintaining her professional tone.

Xu Yidi smiled at Shen Xun and began, “First question: What’s your ideal type?”

Shen Xun answered almost immediately, “I haven’t thought about it.”

“Hmm… Teacher Shen, even a general idea would be helpful,” Xu Yidi pressed.

Shen Xun paused, Su Jianyue’s image filling her mind. Her expression softened slightly. “Probably cute girls.”

Xu Yidi hadn’t expected such a precise answer, immediately ruling out male Alphas. The live chat erupted with similar reactions.

Hehe, I also love cute girls! Xunxun-bao is just like me!

A cute Alpha? That’s actually quite rare. Most of the female Alphas I know are the cool, handsome type.

Great! The “mom fans” can finally relax. Girls should be with girls!

LOL, the male guests are doomed. It’s over before it even started.

“Alright, let’s move on to the second question,” Xu Yidi continued. “Teacher Shen, have you ever been in a relationship before? Or perhaps had a secret crush?”

Shen Xun shook her head, answering frankly, “No, I haven’t. I’ve never had a secret crush either. My main focus right now is completing my studies, and after that, I’ll need to take over the family business. So, I’m not considering romance at the moment.”

“Okay, then, do you feel confident about finding a guest you’re attracted to on this show? This is the final question,” Xu Yidi concluded.

“No, I came to this dating reality show to make friends and relax. I have no intention of finding a romantic partner.” Shen Xun joined the show solely to keep an eye on Su Jianyue and prevent her sister from being taken advantage of, though she couldn’t say that outright.

“Alright, thank you for your cooperation, Teacher Shen. We’ll take a short break before heading to the airport.”

Meanwhile, the live chat in Shen Xun’s stream had exploded with comments:

Our Baby Shen Xun is the best! Mommy thinks you should focus on your career too!

Yes! I’m stanning a career-driven girlboss now! No more worrying about Xunbao getting stolen away!

Hehe, our Xunbao cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness. Emotions would only slow down her sword draw!

The girlfriend fans are ecstatic too! Cold and aloof Xunbao belongs to all of us! Xunbao only likes girls, y’know~
