Bringing the Little Crown Prince on a Parenting Reality Show — I'm Cleared of All Scandals!-Chapter 152: Xiao Jin Is an Orphan

Chu Xijin really wanted to comfort Yang Yingying.

It’s okay.

They’ll break up soon anyway, whether she knows or not doesn’t matter.

Yang Yingying is behind the camera, calming herself down. She’s at work and can’t let personal feelings interfere, "Let’s continue."

Killing isn’t urgent.

Mu Ran also felt this was the calm before the storm and continued with the next question, "Why does Director Mu shoot horror films?"

Mu Ran: "Because I was scared by you guys in that haunted house episode, so I want to make a horror movie to scare you."

That’s right.

The inspiration came just like that.

Confident QAQ

[Alright, alright, anything you say.]

[Director Mu is a bit childish, but I like it!]

[The word ’willful’ really suits you.]

...

"Regarding cyberbullying, you remained silent before, why do you suddenly want to punish cyberbullies now?"

Mu Ran pondered for a moment.

The scene also falls silent, and everyone present realizes how horrifying it is.

Cyberbullying.

In modern times, it really is an act of violence.

Mu Ran recalled back to a long time ago, "The first time I experienced cyberbullying, my family was furious, thinking I shouldn’t be in the entertainment industry. Then I fought with them, shamelessly saying I wouldn’t fear any rumors.

People who’ve cyberbullied me mainly targeted my body, some of my actions, but criticisms about my work were relatively few.

For me, the most important thing in the entertainment industry is my work, not me as a person. So people can attack me personally, but attacking my work stops me from doing what I love, which is quite annoying.

So I went to deal with the cyberbullies; that’s about it. I’m not extremely angry, just a bit tired and confused why people are so idle to focus on an outsider.

Overall, I’m very grateful to everyone who helped me this time, allowing me to clear up rumors about myself quickly. I hope everyone continues to pay more attention to my work rather than me personally."

[Director Mu spoke from the heart.]

[It seems as if Director Mu really hasn’t cared much about personal evaluations all along, but very much about evaluation of her work.]

[In the entertainment world, work is king, quite normal.]

[Mu Ran: My work is the most important.

Various celebrities: My data is the most important.]

...

Mu Ran continues answering questions.

It’s now Chu Xijin’s turn, and his question is quite practical.

"How do you manage time? How do you balance study, play, and socializing?"

What he knows is indeed a lot. People see what he knows as mastery rather than just dabbling. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

He also manages his network, completely unlike a five-year-old.

"Actually, I plan tasks for myself every day and generally don’t procrastinate. I focus more while studying. At kindergarten, I don’t follow classmates around playing those usual games, nor do I watch animations. I prefer learning things I’m interested in with the teacher.

My day is self-scheduled. For instance, if I’m interested in calligraphy, I practice with a brush.

If I’m interested in computers, I learn about them with one-on-one tutoring from teachers, the school is really good at this.

Regarding play?

I have various activities at kindergarten, even if it’s relaxing play. At home, I like to research little objects, such as how sugarcane is turned into sugar. That’s something I enjoy playing with.

Finally, regarding socializing.

Socializing... it’s an observation based on that person’s speech and actions, then judging whether to engage. Generally, I don’t reply to someone if there’s no need. If I do reply, I choose a specific time to reply, not spending too long.

Someone once said I’m a bit aloof, but everyone got used to it. After I reply at that time, people follow my lead, so there’s not much pressure regarding socializing."

This is daily life for Chu Xijin.

Getting up early in the morning, practicing martial arts under uncle’s guidance, studying languages in the car, learning calligraphy and computers at school, and secretly finishing uncle’s assignments.

Politicians explain current politics and history to him.

Of course, he also engages with kids learning, just spending less time.

When he gets home.

He studies objects he’s interested in first, then heads to the police station, solving social issues on the way there and back.

Before bed, he usually reads and finds each day interesting.

Second question.

"How do you solve procrastination?"

Mu Ran quips: "You all treat Xiao Jin like a self-discipline guru?"

Zhu Wenzhen: "Isn’t Xiao Jin?"

Mao Xiaomiao: "Xiao Jin is, and really scary!"

Xiong Zunxiang and Lin Yuxian nods, remembering vividly.

Yes.

Xiao Jin is truly scary!

Mu Ran: "..."

Alright, she admits seeing Xiao Jin study feels a bit like that.

Chu Xijin chuckles: "I don’t have some method to fix procrastination. Habit is the greatest force. I’m used to doing things this way, not a big deal. Maybe people fear what’s upcoming and feel indifferent, so they procrastinate a bit. It’s actually fine, relax."

[I’m in a children’s show and hear a five-year-old talking about philosophy, and I’m really absorbed.]

[Others’ play: How to turn sugarcane into sugar.

My play: Scrolling short videos!]

[I’m quite proud, I actually took it in.]

[Xiao Jin gives me the vibe of a monk, but a smart monk nonetheless.]

...

Chu Xijin answered many similar questions, finally reaching a more gossiping area.

"Do you like your mom and dad more or your aunt?"

Chu Xijin: "My parents are gone, I have no memory of my dad, my mom was great, as good as my aunt."

[What? Xiao Jin doesn’t have parents!]

[Impossible!]

[People at the scene were stunned.]

[Damn, Xiao Jin is an orphan!!!]

[These two, truly a family, dare spill their own secrets.]

...

"Xiao Jin, don’t you have parents?" Xiong Guobing was shocked.

Zhu Zhuting was equally incredulous, feeling very sorry: "No wonder he’s so mature at such a young age."

Chu Xijin: "I don’t think there’s anything to feel sorry about; my aunt is very wealthy and likes me. I can earn money myself, so there’s no worry."

Lin Yuxian: "Brother Xiao Jin, you’re so straightforward."

"It’s just the truth. Your turn to answer questions."

Chu Xijin doesn’t want to dwell on the topic of parents.
