Chapter 462: A Child’s Fear

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The progress of the families was not bad. The children had already learned more than half of it. Only Tan Si was still arguing with Tan Nian.

One was so angry and still had to pretend not to be angry, while the other refused to sing no matter what was said.

The two of them were at a stalemate. The director felt that he could not stand it anymore and asked someone to turn the camera to another family. Then, he walked to Tan Nian’s side and said, “Nian Nian, tell Uncle what you’re thinking. Are you in a bad mood and don’t want to learn?”

Tan Nian looked up at him. He opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end. Tan Si realized that there was no camera now and all her emotions surged.

“People are asking you a question. Hurry up and answer. Why are you so timid?” Tan Si rolled her eyes.

Han Yu hurriedly stopped her. “The child is still young. You should teach him well, not scold him here.”

Out of consideration for the director’s identity, Tan Si did not say anything else. However, everyone could tell that she did not take his words to heart.

Han Yu sighed in his heart over Tan Nian’s life not being easy. He squatted down and sat with Tan Nian, trying his best to put himself in the same position as him.

Tan Nian looked at him strangely. No adult had ever been willing to sit with him like this. It made him feel like they were equals.

Han Yu sat with Tan Nian for a while before saying, “Everyone is learning how to sing. Don’t you not like it?”

Tan Nian stole a glance at Tan Si and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid because Mom will definitely be angry if I sing the song wrongly.”

Han Yu did not expect this to be the reason. It seemed that the child’s fear of his mother had been written into his bones. His life at home must be very difficult.

After this period of filming, even if Han Yu did not have a child, he could tell that Tan Si did not care about Tan Nian at all. She cared less about him than about her clothes.

Han Yu sighed and held the child in his arms. He gently rubbed his back, wanting to give him some warmth.

He slowly sang the song that everyone was trying to learn. After singing, he said, “This song is very nice. If you don’t want to learn from your mother, do you want to go to other houses to learn with the other children?”

Tan Nian did not expect to be allowed to do this. He thought for a moment and nodded heavily. “Alright!”

Han Yu did not have to do this, but he felt that the child was too pitiful. Tan Si probably did not want to continue teaching the child, so he might as well do this to make everyone happy.

After Han Yu told Tan Si about this decision, she indeed looked indifferent. Even if she wanted to show her motherly image in front of the camera, she knew that Tan Nian would not cooperate with her obediently.

She might as well just shove him into someone else’s house so that she could take advantage of this time to sleep.

Tan Si did not care about her image at all now. Her heart was filled with the desire to snatch Zou Bai over. For this, she had to maintain her beauty and even be more beautiful than usual.

“Then let him go. I haven’t felt too well these two days. It’s a good opportunity for me to rest.” Tan Si pretended to hold her chest.

Han Yu accepted this excuse and got his assistant to send a message on Weibo, indicating that Tan Si was not feeling well today. For the sake of the recording of the show, he wanted Tan Nian to learn from other families.

There was naturally a wave of discussion online, but in the end, there was no conclusion.

[Why would she suddenly feel unwell? Is the production team trying to cut our Si Si’s scenes?]

[Tan Si doesn’t have any interesting scenes anyways. She only knows how to dress up and stand there as the background.]

[I haven’t seen her accomplish anything since the show started.]

[Is she really not feeling well? Or is she just really unable to teach the child?]

[Tan Nian seems to be afraid of her.]

[Don’t talk nonsense. No child is afraid of their mother. Something else might have happened.]

[After Tan Nian left, there were cameras following him all the way. The people in the live-stream watched him from beginning to end. How could there be anything else?]

No matter what the netizens were guessing, Han Yu handed the choice to Tan Nian.

“Nian Nian, tell Uncle which house you want to learn at?”

Tan Nian did not hesitate. “I want to be with Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi.”

Han Yu took the child’s hand and went to Jiang An’s place. He told her the whole story and asked, “The child wants to come, I don’t know what you’re thinking. If you don’t want to take him, there’s no pressure. There are no cameras recording our conversation now.”

Jiang An looked at Tan Nian’s expectant gaze and could not reject him no matter what. Moreover, she only hated Tan Si, but the child was innocent.

“Nian Nian.” Jiang An smiled and reached out her hand. “Come into the house with Auntie..”
