Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 179 - : High Definition Dark History

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: High Definition Dark History

After their meeting at Wangjiang Pavilion a few days had passed.

Ji Yuqiao suddenly received a call from her competition coach, asking her to visit his office.

She guessed that the competition results might have been released, so she hurried over as soon as class ended.

Upon entering, the first thing she saw was Xiao Yu’s stern face, which made her pause for a moment.

Then she thought, since they had attended the competition together, it seemed normal for the teacher to call Xiao Yu as well.

“Both of you are here,” the teacher said with a chuckle as he looked at them. “The competition results are out, guess what prizes you two won?”

...

“Teacher, just tell us already, don’t keep us in suspense,” Ji Yuqiao urged impatiently.

Contrary to the excited Ji Yuqiao, Xiao Yu was rather calm.

Even if the teacher didn’t say it, he knew his capabilities were enough to secure a first prize.

“Alright, alright.” The teacher took out two certificates from the drawer and handed them to them, beaming with excitement. “I won’t keep you in suspense any longer, see for yourselves.”

Ji Yuqiao quickly opened her certificate.

The bold, black characters spelling “First Prize” froze her in place for several seconds, her expression shifting gradually from surprise to excitement.

“I didn’t expect our school to produce two first prizes this year,” the teacher was overjoyed, thinking that this year’s performance and bonus were promising.

Xiao Yu was surprised when he heard that Ji Yuqiao also won a first prize.

From initially failing to winning a national competition, her improvement was unexpectedly huge.

“Xiao Yu, did you see that? It’s a first prize! It’s all because of your tutoring these past days,” Ji Yuqiao said joyfully, forgetting the previous conflicts with Xiao Yu, waving her certificate in front of him excitedly.

Xiao Yu, caught off guard by her sudden closeness, visibly shivered and froze awkwardly.

Seeing his stiff expression, Ji Yuqiao belatedly realized something was wrong and finally stopped her exuberant display, stepping back a few paces with an embarrassed look.

Noticing the blush that had crept up to her ears, Xiao Yu’s gaze flickered and he quickly looked away.

After Ji Yuqiao’s excitement subsided, the teacher continued, “I’m giving you the certificates now, and the prize money will be distributed by city officials tomorrow. We’ll go together.”

“Great, thank you, teacher!” Ji Yuqiao smiled with pursed lips, looking over her certificate several times.

Before they left, the teacher added a reminder, “Oh, and dress nicely tomorrow, there might be a photo shoot and interview.”

Ji Yuqiao: “Okay!”

Knowing her daughter had won an award in the competition, Lin Xu was thrilled.

When she heard that Ji Yuqiao needed to dress up for a photo shoot and interview the next day, Lin Xu called the manager over, dragging several racks of clothes for her to choose from.

She even took out all the jewelry from her walk-in wardrobe for her to pick from.

“These jewels seem too few, shall we go pick out some more now?” Lin Xu wondered aloud.

“Isn’t it just a small interview for a competition? Isn’t this a bit too much?” Ji Zeqiu watched in surprise.

The setup was almost more intense than his own TV station interviews.

“Too much? I always feel it’s not quite right,” Lin Xu assessed Ji Yuqiao’s attire and makeup, then paused to think.

The next second, as if a light bulb went off, she declared, “Right, she’s still missing a good outfit!”

“Zeqiu, can you lend your styling team to your sister?” Lin Xu quickly asked Ji Zeqiu.

Ji Zeqiu: “…It’s just taking a few photos; using my styling team seems a bit over the top, doesn’t it?”

“How is it over the top? This is the first time I’m watching my little sister’s award interview, I have to make it the best,” Lin Xu said.

In the past, when Ji Tingyang ranked first in exams at kindergarten, there were parent-teacher meetings, and it was Lin Xu who would attend.

That day, she prepared a particularly handsome and adorable outfit for Ji Tingyang the night before.

Watching Ji Tingyang, who was five or six years old, step up to the podium with small strides to receive his award and occasionally hearing a few compliments, Lin Xu felt a swell of pride.

At that time, she vowed in her heart never to miss any of her children’s award moments in the future.

However, she never expected that even this simple wish would not be fulfilled.

She missed the next twenty years.

So she deemed it essential to take Ji Yuqiao’s competition award seriously this time, no matter what.

Ji Zeqiu glanced at Lin Xu, his tone containing a hint of barely noticeable grievance, “I’ve attended so many interviews and film award ceremonies before, and I’ve never seen you take them so seriously…”

She didn’t personally pick out clothes for him, nor did she look for a styling team for him…

Hearing his complaint, Lin Xu suddenly laughed, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and rubbed them vigorously, “Why, are you even jealous of your sister?”

“And how would you know I didn’t care? I saved every interview and award ceremony video carefully, compiling a huge archive,” she added.

Hearing her words, a gleam flashed through Ji Zeqiu’s eyes, and the curve of his lips uplifted uncontrollably, “Really?”

Lin Xu: “Of course.”

Ji Zeqiu grasped her hand on his face, his smile growing even more radiant, almost as if his tail was wagging up to the sky.

“Not only did I save the award ceremony videos, but I also saved your embarrassing moments. Want to take a look?” Ji Tingyang couldn’t stand his smile and casually threw in a comment.

The smile on Ji Zeqiu’s face froze instantly, “What embarrassing moments?”

“Like that time you accidentally stepped on dog poop during a variety show, sprained your ankle going up the stairs, got hit by a basketball, and more…” Ji Tingyang elaborated.

The advantage of being a celebrity is that even your embarrassing moments are in high definition.

One could easily find collections of these embarrassing moments created by haters online, without Ji Tingyang needing to search for them one by one.

Watching Ji Zeqiu’s face turn from shock to fear, Ji Tingyang felt much more satisfied.

Ji Zeqiu’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Lin Xu.

“Don’t listen to your brother spouting nonsense, I didn’t save any of those!” Lin Xu hurriedly denied.

“Really?” Ji Zeqiu was skeptical.

“Really, really!” Lin Xu nodded.

Ji Zeqiu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her slightly guilty voice rise, “I did keep one video of you singing off-key.”

Ji Zeqiu’s cheeks abruptly reddened, his demeanor resembling an indignant little cat, he blurted out, “No way, you can only keep my cool videos, delete that one now!”

“But that video is really cute, how could it be considered embarrassing?” Lin Xu argued.

“Then… then you’re only allowed to keep that one,” Ji Zeqiu said, twisting awkwardly, his voice tinged with a hint of embarrassment.

“No worries, I have a few gigabytes saved on my side; feel free to ask me if you want to see them,” Ji Tingyang said.

“…Get lost!” Ji Zeqiu gritted his teeth.
