Chapter 379: 379, small person, big mind
The host reacted the fastest, holding up his microphone and saying, “Kid, hasn’t your mom come to get you?”
His eyes then signaled for Su Wanwan to quickly take the child away.
Su Wanwan was utterly flabbergasted as she pulled Fu Ziyang along, “Ziyang, come down with me quickly.”
Who knew that Fu Ziyang would yell out even louder, “Mom, are you my mom?”
Lu Zixi just stood there, her almond eyes staring straight at the handsome little boy, her gradually paling face not even fully concealed by her makeup. This reaction set the audience abuzz.
“Who is this kid?”
“Why is he calling Zixi mommy?”
“Did he confuse her for someone else?”
“But… why do I think he looks a bit like Zixi?”
“Nonsense, Zixi is only 21 this year, how could she have a child?”
“Did she lie about her age?”
“God, what a scandal…”
“Impossible! I don’t believe it!”
Su Wanwan quickly scooped up the little guy and made a run for it.
Fu Ziyang lay in Su Wanwan’s arms, turning his little head around, his big eyes still fixated on Lu Zixi.
Just when they reached the edge of the stage, they were blocked by a group of reporters. A multitude of microphones was thrust their way and the flashbulbs wouldn’t stop popping off, as a barrage of questions bombarded them.
“Miss, what is your relationship to this child?”
“Why is he calling Zixi mommy?”
“Do you know Zixi?”
The scene was chaotic at that moment.
Su Wenwen was surrounded by reporters, unable to break free. She didn’t know how to explain the situation and could only keep repeating, “I’m sorry, he’s just mistaken.”
“Are you sure he’s just mistaken?”
“Yes!”
A mic was suddenly thrust in front of Fu Ziyang.
“Little boy, why are you calling Zixi mommy?”
“Is Zixi really your mom?”
“Little boy, where is your dad?”
“Little boy…”
Fu Ziyang clamped his mouth shut and didn’t say a word.
Today was the premiere of “The Overbearing Girl Clings On Me”. The reporters originally just came to record the event, take some nice photos and videos, and call it a day. But now with such an unexpected turn of events involving the hottest screen goddess, everyone became excited, wishing they could dig up a sensational piece of news.
The host’s voice rang out on the stage, “Everyone quiet down. It was actually a prank designed by our crew, this kid…”
A male reporter interrupted loudly, “Then why does this boy look so much like Lu Zixi?”
“Yes!” another agreed, “Their eyes do look very similar!”
“Can the host explain this?”
The host:
God.
Who was he supposed to ask? He was just a stand-in host hired last minute. How would he know why a child suddenly came on stage calling for his mother?
Just then another man’s voice rang out, “Hello everyone, I am Zan Song, the director of this film.”
Su Wanwan looked at him.
He held the mic, his voice loud and clear. Plus, because he was someone of importance, the scene immediately quieted down.
“Actually, our host was not wrong. This event was actually a pre-planned surprise. Our movie tells the story of a fantastical high school romance between our lead male and female characters, ending in their marriage. Subsequently, there were many fans complaining online that there should have been scenes of their married life and their baby. Some have even suggested child stars for us to consider if we were thinking of a sequel. So, we designed this ‘finding mom’ segment.”
After finishing his speech, he looked at the crowd, “The little boy who just performed is a child actor we invited. Do you all think he looks like Zixi?”
“Like!”
“Not alike!”
Despite the divided opinions, the atmosphere had obviously lifted, and the reporters had also turned their cameras elsewhere.
Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly hugging Fu Ziyang and heading down the stage.
Back at her seat, she didn’t dare to stay. She grabbed her bag and coat and made for the exit.
Just at the exit, Huo Jingshen came back.
Su Wanwan stood there, her beautiful phoenix eyes glaring straight at him.
When he came over and she smelled the distinct scent of smoke, she couldn’t help but yell, “Smoke, smoke, smoke, all you know is smoke!”
“…” Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, not saying a word.
“Here, take the kid!” Saying this, Su Wanwan thrust Fu Ziyang into Huo Jingshen’s arms and swiftly turned around to leave.
Huo Jingshen once again:”…”
Fu Ziyang’s eyes were still on the stage.
Huo Jingshen glanced at him and followed his gaze towards the stage.
Just at that moment, Lu Zixi turned to look their way.
Fu Ziyang instantly broke into a naive and innocent smile.
It was obvious that Lu Zixi was taken aback. She only turned her gaze away when her arm was jerked, “Mind your surroundings.”
Lu Zixi pulled her gaze back.

Carrying the child outside, Huo Jingshen felt a tug on his shoulder.
“Uncle Huo, I can walk myself.” Fu Ziyang looked a bit uncomfortable.
He really wasn’t used to being this close to people.
Huo Jingshen put the little guy down, “Did you make your auntie angry just now?”
But Fu Ziyang replied, “Uncle Huo, do you think the lady just now looks like me?”
The little boy stood on the ground, earnestly tilting his head up to discuss with him, “When I called her mom just now, she didn’t deny it. She looked very surprised and her name, like mine, also contains the character ‘zi’.”
Huo Jingshen looked at the little one who seemed older than his years and felt a pang in his temples. He was about to say something when…
“Sir, sir, please wait!” A voice called out from behind.
Huo Jingshen turned around just in time to hear a “click”..
