Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1064: His Excellency Says: Let’s Meet at the Airport

Chapter 1064: Chapter 1064: His Excellency Says: Let’s Meet at the Airport

Due to Song Jingtian’s injury, Tang Li’s treasure hunt mission had to be suspended.

Back at the place, Tang Li got a basin of soapy water and washed the little guy’s stung butt.

The camera in the corner was once again covered up.

The livestream room erupted in curses.

Song Jingtian lay sprawled out on the kang, his shorts half-pulled down, petting Tiger Whip’s head while lamenting, "To die before the battle is won, making heroes shed a cloak of tears!"

"..." Tang Li tugged at the corner of her lips, thinking the drama was seriously over the top. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

With nothing to do in the afternoon, the two of them and the dog snuggled in the dugout cave for a nap.

In the evening, Tang Li received notice from the show group and took the little guy to the courtyard at the village entrance.

— The treasure hunting game was over, and it was time for the award ceremony.

A few hours later, the redness and swelling on Song Jingtian’s butt had subsided considerably.

Nonetheless, when it was time to leave, the little guy suddenly had a limp.

The photographer came over with the camera, just in time to see Song Jingtian dragging one leg, looking incapacitated, and couldn’t help but feel sympathy: "Teacher Tang, the child is like this, it’s afraid he can’t walk."

Tang Li tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Why don’t you carry him?"

"No need to bother uncle photographer." Song Jingtian declined.

In a blink, Song Jingtian fished out a wooden stick from some nook, and now, with both hands leaning on the stick, he was strong in spirit despite his physical handicap: "I have a crutch, I can walk by myself!"

The photographer was moved by the child’s sensibility and gave a close-up.

As a result, gifts flooded the livestream room again.

[It’s another day I’m touched by Xiao Huawan, keep it up, good kid!]

[So touching! Good child, big sister is proud of you!]

[Xiao Huawan, Auntie knows your butt hurts, don’t worry, Auntie will send you a Ferrari!]

The five-minute walk from Room 6 to the village entrance turned into ten minutes due to Song Jingtian’s dedicated performance.

At the village entrance courtyard, the little guy didn’t ditch the stick either.

Kang Yunxi saw Song Jingtian, her attention completely focused over here.

However, the little guy looked around but never met her gaze straight on.

Instead, it was Tang Li who noticed her stare and reached out a hand to pull Song Jingtian to her side.

The first place in the treasure hunt game went to the actress Du Wei and her son.

The top three all had corresponding prizes.

Tang Li’s group was unsurprisingly at the bottom.

The spittoon they were supposed to find was brought back by the program team themselves.

Now, it was placed before them.

The three groups of guests went up to receive their prizes, and as all cameras focused over, the little guy seized the chance to sulk: "It’s just a latest-model iPad Pro, I’ll have my big sister buy me one when we get back."

"You’re just being sour grapes." Tang Li whispered in sound.

Song Jingtian: "..."

The little guy tilted his head sideways: "Do I care?"

Before the words were even finished, the host on the stage suddenly called him out.

"I heard there’s a kid who got stung by a scorpion during the treasure hunt and didn’t cry or fuss, even comforted his intern mom, truly living up to the name ’little padded jacket’! Obviously unwell, but knowing we were gathering for the awards, he insisted on coming over, not wanting to trouble the staff, stubbornly walking 950 meters with a crutch on his own!"

Tang Li: "..."

The host held the microphone, continuing in eloquence: "He is our Xiao Huawan! An unassuming kid of the 2010s with a steely will!"

For a moment, all cameras converged on Song Jingtian’s face.

The little guy sported a bubble-head, masked and wearing shades, unfazed by any close-up shots.

Afterward, the little guy was invited up.

When Song Jingtian went on stage, Tang Li noticed his leg seemed even more limp.

When the host handed over the microphone, Song Jingtian didn’t forget to say thanks, earning the host’s full favor, only then did he start his performance.

The child’s tender voice echoed through every corner via speakers.

"I’ve always had a wish, to own an iPad Pro for drawing."

Holding the brand-new tablet, Du Wei’s son: "..."

"Though we were last, seeing other kids get an iPad Pro makes me happy for them, because compared to the game ranking, our friendship is what’s most precious! If I were to win first, if any other kids wanted an iPad Pro, I’d give it away without hesitation."

Tang Li: "..."

This bear child, trying to teach Du Wei’s son ’Know the order and morals.’

Tang Li couldn’t help but glance at Du Wei.

— As expected.

When the camera panned over, Du Wei flashed a smile.

With such words, if she didn’t show something, she would inevitably be labeled as stingy.

So, she immediately leaned down to negotiate with her son, asking him to give the tablet to Xiao Huawan.

Kids at seven or eight are still in the ’protecting food’ stage.

Du Wei’s son, upon hearing that the prize in his hands was about to fly away, not only didn’t let it go but hugged the iPad even tighter. This scene was also captured by the camera.

"This kid." Du Wei looked embarrassed.

An iPad Pro with accessories, it’s just over ten thousand yuan.

Tang Li didn’t want to have a conflict with the other guests over this, and was about to go on stage to take the culprit away when the little guy spoke into the microphone: "Aunt Du, even if Liangliang is willing to give me the iPad, I wouldn’t accept it. A game has its rules, and I can’t be given special treatment just because I hurt my leg while treasure hunting. The last place doesn’t qualify for an iPad Pro."

"Who said you’re not qualified!"

The host returned to Song Jingtian’s side and took the microphone: "I propose that the program group set up a special encouragement award for Xiao Huawan. As for the prize, I’m willing to buy an iPad Pro for Xiao Huawan at my own expense!"

Tang Li: "..."

Turns out, it’s her who’s being narrow-minded.

"I’ll pay for half of the iPad Pro," Kang Yunxi suddenly said.

Du Wei followed closely behind: "Then I’ll cover the other half."

Then, several cameras simultaneously turned towards Tang Li.

Forced to be the center of attention, Tang Li: "..."

The host seized the moment and said: "As Xiao Huawan’s interim mother, Teacher Tang, do you have anything to say to Xiao Huawan?"

"Everyone’s said what needs to be said." Tang Li was thick-skinned.

Host: "Haha."

Seeing the camera wasn’t moving away, Tang Li had to speak: "To thank everyone for their love for Xiao Huawan, how about we let Xiao Huawan perform a chest-breaking stone act for everyone."

Song Jingtian: "..."

Host: "..."

Kang Yunxi: "..."

Du Wei and the other four: "..."

Amidst a barrage of insults in the live broadcast room, Tang Li, having eaten and drunk her fill, took Song Jingtian back to Room 6.

Lying slanted on the kang, the little guy sighed: "It’s a pity you’re not the one who bought me the iPad Pro, otherwise I’d be happier."

That night, after Song Jingtian fell asleep, Tang Li took her cellphone outside.

She sent a WeChat message to the Assistant Director.

[Tang Li]: "Bring it."

[Niu Niu’s the Sweetest]: "???"

[Tang Li]: "Advertising script."

The next day, when Song Jingtian woke up, yawning, he found Tang Li outside the house.

Seeing Tang Li bending over and washing her head with a basin, he immediately ran over, "What are you doing washing your head so early in the morning!"

Tang Li straightened up, wiped her wet hair with a towel, and ignoring the photographer’s camera, took a bottle of shampoo from the chair: "With Wang Ba, hair loss stops here."

"Nonsense." The little guy exposed: "This basin is full of your fallen hair."

Tang Li: "......"

The over-obvious advertising traces caused another wave of criticism in the live broadcast room.

Fortunately, the recording of the first episode was over.

Kang Yunxi, holding a box of candies, softly called "Xiao Huawan," and when Song Jingtian turned his head, she smiled gently and squatted down next to the child: "These tiger candies are for you."

She could tell the little guy really liked this custom candy.

However, unlike yesterday, this time Song Jingtian didn’t reach out to take it.

"Don’t want it?" Kang Yunxi shook the candy box.

"Tang Li will buy it for me."

Song Jingtian showed no attachment to the candy box in her hand and turned his head back: "Next time when we record the program, I can eat it."

"..." Kang Yunxi tightened her grip on the candy box, still smiling softly: "These are custom candies, they can’t be bought in the country, and even overseas they require a month in advance to order."

This statement successfully swayed the little guy.

Seeing Song Jingtian looking over, Kang Yunxi smiled: "I still have a few boxes. If you like them, I’ll bring some for you next time."

"Then sell them to Tang Li."

The little guy said: "You sell them to Tang Li, then I can have them."

Kang Yunxi: "......"

Tang Li returned to the Capital by plane.

When buying the ticket, she also got one for the little guy.

After passing security at the airport and about to turn her cellphone to airplane mode, a call came in just in time.

Seeing the caller ID, Tang Li deliberately lowered the volume a bit.

After answering, Song Baiyan’s rich voice came through, asking when her flight would land.

"Around one-thirty in the afternoon."

After Tang Li replied, she heard His Excellency the President say: "Two days later, I have a meeting in Geneva. Since it coincides, why not meet at the airport."

Tang Xiaoli: Coincidence? I don’t believe it.
