Heartbeat - Chapter 9

Su Jianyue excitedly introduced, “This is my mom, Mommy. My younger sister is still in high school and hasn’t started her vacation yet, so you won’t be able to meet her today.”

The live stream chat exploded with comments:

Have Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing been drinking anti-aging potions? They haven’t aged a day and look even more radiant!

Seriously, after all these years, they still look so perfect together! I’m dying from the cuteness!

Xiao Yueliang, can you ask your mom and Mommy about their skincare secrets?

Su Jianyue’s home is so cozy! You can tell they’re a close-knit family. I’m so envious!

By now, Su Jianyue had led the cameraman upstairs and opened her bedroom door.

Her room was spacious, complete with a walk-in closet. Two large suitcases lay open on the floor.

Pointing to her suitcases, Su Jianyue explained, “Since we’ll be staying for two weeks, I packed extra casual clothes and shoes. That’s why I have two suitcases. Oh, and I’m bringing those plush toys on the shelf as gifts for everyone!”

Yan Huan generously gave the plush toys a close-up shot.

The viewers in the live stream were already going wild with laughter.

Xiao Yueliang hasn’t changed a bit! I remember when she was on “Rural Cuties,” she handed out candy to all the kids as soon as she met them, making sure everyone got their fair share.

I remember that too! But she wasn’t exactly fair. Boys got one candy, girls got two, and when it came to Shen Xun, she gave her four!

Hahaha! Our Xiao Yueliang has always been biased since she was little. I can’t wait to see her reunion with Shen Xun!

Me too! If they haven’t been in contact for years, this could be a classic “broken mirror mended” scenario! Definitely worth shipping!

I’m curious how she’ll distribute the plush toys. Since Alphas are rivals, she probably won’t give any to the Alpha kids, right?

Who knows? Xiao Yueliang has always played by her own rules. I’m excited to see what happens!

Su Jianyue smiled at the camera again and introduced her room. “I usually live in the school dorms, but I come home every week. The shelves over there are filled with gifts from my elders. This side has my bed and desk, and behind that door is my walk-in closet.”

The camera followed Su Jianyue’s words, panning across the room. When it reached the family’s jade carvings, Yan Huan hesitated to approach, fearing he might accidentally break them—the jade pieces looked undeniably expensive.

After filming her room, Su Jianyue went downstairs for breakfast.

She packed her suitcases and carried both down to the first floor herself before heading to the dining room.

Mo Yuxin glanced at her daughter and reminded her, “Take good care of yourself over there. If anything happens, call me or your mother immediately.”

“I will, Mommy~” Su Jianyue replied sweetly, her voice dripping with affection.

Mo Yuxin smiled warmly at her daughter, then turned to look at her wife.

Seeing her mother’s soul being stolen away by her wife again, Su Jianyue covered her mouth and chuckled softly, as if this was a familiar sight.

Meanwhile, the live chat was going wild with shipping comments.

Oh my god, do I even need to comment on how stunning these three faces are?

Three such beautiful faces on screen at once? This is truly a feast for the eyes.

Ugh, I’m in love!

Mo Yuxin’s gaze toward her wife is so sweet! Waaah, after all these years of marriage, they’re still in their honeymoon phase! How do they do it?!

LOL, I’m dying! Look at Xiao Yueliang’s expression—she’s clearly used to eating dog food at home. Mom and Mommy are true love, and Xiao Yueliang is the accidental byproduct.

No wonder she’s going on a dating reality show! Our poor baby can only eat dog food at home—how tragic! Hahahahaha~

Xiao Yueliang’s crying! Hey, you in the front row, stop laughing so loudly!

Su Jianyue was still focused on devouring her meal, completely unaware that netizens were already making fun of her.

By the time they finished eating, it was almost time to leave for the airport.

Before leaving, Su Jianyue clung to her mother and then her mommy, hugging them tightly. “Mom, Mommy, wait for me to come back with pocket money!”

Mo Yuxin smiled. “Alright, the three of us will be waiting for your gifts.”

“Mhm, definitely! I absolutely have to bring back presents for you both!” Su Jianyue declared, her face radiant with energy.

Yan Huan, the cameraman, reminded her, “Teacher Su, we need to leave now, or we’ll miss our flight.”

“Alright, alright, let’s go!” Su Jianyue declared with fierce determination.

On the way, Yan Huan took on the role of temporary host, aiming the camera at Su Jianyue. “Teacher Su, we still have some time before we reach the airport. The production team has a few questions they’d like to ask you.”

Su Jianyue nodded cooperatively, flashing a sweet smile at the camera.

The live stream chat exploded with comments, even causing the stream to lag.

Ahhh, our baby’s smile is so adorable!

No wonder she’s called Xiao Yueliang—such a sweet Little Alpha!

I want to kidnap our Little Yueliang! Waaah, she’s too precious! I want to hide her away!

Yan Huan began with the first question: “What’s Teacher Su’s ideal type?”

Su Jianyue’s large eyes darted around. She’d never really thought about it. Ever since starting university, she’d been constantly pursued, but none of her suitors had caught her interest. Just like her mother said, she was more interested in having fun right now; romance felt distant and unimportant.

“To be honest, I’ve never really thought about it. I’ve just been focused on having fun at school.”

“Could you give me a general idea? Even a vague description would be fine,” Yan Huan pressed.

Su Jianyue pondered for a moment before finally squeezing out, “I guess I’d like someone who’s good-looking, gentle, and really takes care of me? I think I’d like that kind of person.”

She wasn’t even sure herself, and this hardly qualified as an “ideal type.” She was just repeating what Sister Xunxun had said, figuring she’d just muddle through the interview for now.

“Alright, second question: Teacher Su, have you ever been in a relationship before? Or have you ever had a secret crush on someone?” Yan Huan continued.

Su Jianyue immediately shook her head. She’d never liked anyone, let alone had a secret crush. “No, I’m only a freshman. There’s no rush.”

Yan Huan had no choice but to press on. “Teacher Su, do you feel confident you’ll find someone you’re attracted to on this show?”

Su Jianyue shook her head again. “No, I think the main thing is to participate. It’ll be nice to make some new friends, and it’ll be fun living with everyone.”

“Okay, thank you for your time, Teacher Su,” Yan Huan said, offering her thanks while mentally grumbling, So the nation’s former darling is just here for the fun and games?

The comments section erupted in a flurry of “hahahaha”s.

As expected of you, Xiao Yueliang! Everyone else is here to find love, but you’re just here to have fun.

LOL, she’s so adorable! It’s like she hasn’t even awakened to romantic feelings yet.

Exactly! She’s so pure and innocent, sob. And she’s so clean and untainted! I really want an Alpha like her.

Zero romantic experience… I’m already envious of her future partner. Our baby’s heart is still a blank canvas.

I hope Xiao Yueliang meets someone wonderful, sniffle~

Meanwhile, Shen Xun’s broadcast was also airing simultaneously. Even more viewers were tuning into her stream than Su Jianyue’s.

Shen Xun was shrouded in mystery. Her Weibo account remained in its default state, with no posts ever made. No recent photos of her existed online, leaving everyone curious about her current appearance.

Many still cherished memories of her as a child, and they held their breath, fearing that the Little Alpha they adored might have grown up to be… less than ideal.

At precisely 6:30 AM, Shen Xun’s stream went live. The moment it began, a massive wave of viewers flooded into the chat.

Gasp! I’m so nervous! Waaah, it feels like I’m about to meet a friend I haven’t seen in over a decade!

Me too! I wonder how Shen Xun is doing now. When I watched variety shows as a kid, she and Xiao Yueliang were my absolute favorites!

Same here! Can’t wait to see our Baby Shen Xun!

As the livestream viewers buzzed with anticipation, Xu Yidi, Shen Xun’s camerawoman, pressed the doorbell at Shen Xun’s house.

Shen Xun had already packed her things and was waiting in the living room, having even finished breakfast. Hearing the doorbell, she hurried to open the door.

As soon as she opened it, she saw the camera was already pointed at her, recording.

Shen Xun gave a slight nod to the camera. “Good morning, everyone. Come in.”

“Good morning, Teacher Shen. We’ll start filming now,” Xu Yidi replied after a moment of stunned silence.

This was Xu Yidi’s first time meeting Shen Xun in person. Having worked in the entertainment industry for years, she’d seen countless beauties. Yet even she was stunned by Shen Xun’s appearance.

The reason was simple: Shen Xun’s face was simply too stunning. Combined with her icy demeanor, it created an aura of aloofness and authority, a type completely unheard of in the entertainment industry. Even standing beside Queen of Film Jiang, Shen Xun held her own without losing an ounce of presence.

Their director had truly struck gold this time. With Shen Xun’s face alone, their show was practically guaranteed to become a hit.

Meanwhile, the netizens who had been eagerly waiting in the live stream erupted into excited squeals.

“Aaaaaah! I’m going crazy! Shen Xun is just too beautiful!”

“Seriously, that face and figure completely outclass all the other young actresses in the industry.”

“My worries have finally been put to rest! Our Baby Shen Xun has grown up so well, still as aloof and adorable as she was as a child!”

“She’s breathtaking! And I just peeked at Su Jianyue next door—she’s stunning too! I can’t even imagine how amazing it will be when these two stand together!”

“This show is a masterpiece! They really know how to pick their guests. sniff Tears of joy are streaming down my face.”

“Upstairs, wipe your drool! huff huff Baby Shen Xun, notice me! I’ve been your fan since I was a kid!”

“I’m different. I’d just be like: ‘Hey, wifey!’ (dog emoji)”
