Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1075: Could It Be That He Likes Me?

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Could It Be That He Likes Me?

Song Jingtian is only eight years old, and Tang Li heard for the first time that children also use essential oils.

Director Chen explained, "Xiao Song has been suffering from insomnia recently. My brother-in-law often goes to India for business and brings back these essential oils, saying they can help with sleep. So I thought I’d give Xiao Song a bottle."

Director Chen has added Song Jingtian as a WeChat friend.

Early yesterday morning, the little guy shared two songs in his friend circle.

Tang Li saw it too.

One was "You’re Dashing, I’m Pretty," and the other was "Sleepless Night."

Is Song Jingtian experiencing insomnia?

Tang Li didn’t believe it.

Just a moment ago, Song Jingtian was in the "Tall Rich Handsome Base Camp" chat group sharing links from Pinduoduo, asking everyone to help him cut a deal.

But Director Chen’s kindness was hard to refuse, so Tang Li kept the essential oil. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

From the packaging, it looked like an import.

If the little guy can’t use it, it can be given to someone else at Tan Palace.

The next morning, Tang Li headed to Jiming Island in Qingzhou, not forgetting to bring the essential oil.

Because the show’s production team temporarily changed the recording content, requiring each guest to find an adult male companion, Tang Li called Deng Xian, who was at home doing nothing, and asked him to help out.

Song Jingtian saw this young and handsome popular star and couldn’t help but feel irritated.

One Guan Xiao hasn’t been dealt with yet, and now another one!

These young heartthrobs just can’t sit still.

Tang Li met up with Deng Xian and Song Jingtian at the airport.

She noticed the little guy constantly eyeing Deng Xian, and while Deng Xian went off to do an airport fashion shoot, she nudged Song Jingtian’s small foot with her toe, "Keep looking and your eyes will fall out."

Song Jingtian withdrew his gaze and snorted twice.

This time, the little guy wasn’t wearing his instant noodle hairpiece.

Wearing a rabbit-eared fisherman hat with two wispy braids, the little guy pulled it onto his head, instantly concealing his true gender.

As for the strawberry sunglasses, they were naturally indispensable.

Before departure, Tang Li received a call from Xiao Minglan, asking her to keep an eye on Song Jingtian and make sure he spends less time in the water on the island.

This episode’s recording started at 3 PM today and lasted for 24 hours.

Arriving at the village entrance where the guests gathered, Tang Li recognized Meng Shu beside Kang Yunxi.

Meng Shu being familiar with Kang Yunxi was unexpected.

The house selection process involved children drawing lots.

Tang Li was waiting for Song Jingtian to return when a sunshade suddenly appeared over her head. Deng Xian had turned off the microphone near his shirt collar and then spoke to her, "That President Meng from VG has been watching you since just now."

Tang Li turned her head and raised an eyebrow at him.

With the umbrella blocking the camera, Deng Xian spoke less cautiously, "Two years ago, Ye Yun dated him but was dumped within three months, reportedly because Guo Jiaying stole him away. Ye Yun staged two suicide dramas over this.

Tang Li has been in the industry for less than a year, but has heard of the ex-leading lady Ye Yun leaving due to depression.

Even now, online articles can be found.

The articles attributed Ye Yun’s depression to being too involved in her roles, but Deng Xian, as Ye Yun’s co-star, obviously knew the real truth.

"I see that he seems to know you. Are you old acquaintances?"

Tang Li said, "Last time I went to Gaozhou to record ’Infinite Challenge,’ we met at a dinner."

Deng Xian moved the umbrella further forward, warning her, "Just keep an eye out; judging by his gaze, he’s probably interested in you."

Tang Li: "..."

"Isn’t he interested in men?" Tang Li whispered.

Deng Xian looked at her stunned, half-doubting.

Tang Li continued, "During that ’Infinite Challenge’ episode, he was present, and now he’s on the show, indicating a strong desire to be seen, which is more common in women. Normal men, unless they’re male stars, rarely dress so meticulously. In Gaozhou, I felt he was targeting me."

Back then, Wu Xuehan suggested that Meng Shu might have a crush on Song Baiyan, but Tang Li didn’t take it to heart.

She simply had a sixth sense that didn’t favor Meng Shu as a relative.

Seeing Meng Shu and Kang Yunxi together now makes it hard for her not to think.

There’s a saying:

An enemy’s enemy is your friend.

Times have changed, and thinking is becoming more open.

When dating, you not only have to guard against women, but also other men.

If she misunderstood Meng Shu’s interest, that would be a real joke.

The sunshade that was blocking Tang Li’s view was suddenly moved away, and Deng Xian used the umbrella to cover most of his body, no longer shielding Tang Li from the sun: "Could it be that he’s interested in me?"

Tang Li: "..."

"I told you his gaze was off when he looked at me."

Tang Li: ... you weren’t saying this earlier.

Song Jingtian drew a seaview room.

Before disbanding, the host also announced the first task—

Mom makes a dinner for the little baby.

Song Jingtian held the room card and poked Tang Li’s waist: "Can you cook?"

In her previous life, Tang Li had cooked many times.

Doing it again now, she could say she’s quite adept.

So, as soon as she arrived at Room 3, she put down her luggage and went to familiarize herself with the kitchen.

Compared to the first episode, this time Tang Li’s live stream popularity approached that of superstar Du Wei.

Most of the audience were coming for ’Xiao Huawan’.

Fruit Station edited the two-hour version of the first episode of "Our Little Bear Child" for airing on satellite TV, and Xiao Huawan’s adventures in the show became the main highlight. Over the past week, Xiao Huawan firmly held the first place on the [Little Bear Child Popularity List], and some netizens even established a Xiao Huawan fan club for her.

For dinner ingredients, children needed to use the twenty yuan given by the program to purchase them.

Firewood had the male guests go and collect it from the woods.

After the photographer followed Song Jingtian outside, Tang Li was in the kitchen rinsing rice.

Since it was an old-style stove, it was not suitable for rinsing rice when cooking.

Tang Li had just drained the rice beside the stove when a bamboo basket was placed next to her hand, filled with fresh mushrooms. Turning her head, she saw Meng Shu.

Behind Meng Shu, there was a photographer accompanying him.

A white polo shirt, below was light gray pants, and his hair was styled excellently.

When he met Tang Li’s gaze, he revealed an intriguing smile: "Just now, outside, I encountered Xiao Huawan; we’ve already agreed to come to Room 3 for dinner tonight."

Just as Tang Li was about to turn him down, Meng Shu spoke again: "The first moment I saw Xiao Huawan, I felt an inexplicable sense of kinship, as if I had seen her somewhere before."

Others not familiar with Song Jingtian could be excused for failing to recognize the little guy.

Meng Shu, however, had no such excuse.

Saying this now was just a veiled ’threat’.

Meng Shu was sure she wouldn’t dare to reveal Song Jingtian’s true identity.

As Tang Li’s eye swept over a mushroom in the bamboo basket, she swallowed the words she was about to say and picked up the basket: "Since you’ve brought your own ingredients, feel free to come over tonight."

"So easy to get along with?" Meng Shu smiled.

Tang Li looked up, smiling too: "Who asked you to be Xiao Huawan’s guest."

Song Jingtian was humming a tune as he entered the kitchen carrying a bag of potatoes. Before he could ask for praise, a basket of mushrooms was thrust into his hands, and he was asked to sit outside and wash the mushrooms.

"Can I refuse?"

His question received Tang Li’s gentle reply: "You can try."

Song Jingtian: "..."

He dragged the bamboo basket under the eaves and sighed.

Seeing the camera still nearby, he spoke to it: "Our teachers always teach us to help our parents with household chores when we get home. Today I will set an example for everyone."

The live stream suddenly filled with comments.

[Indeed, Xiao Huawan, the embodiment of diligence and strength!]

[So sensible! How can I get a Xiao Huawan?!]

[Xiao Huawan, sister loves you!]

[Aunt loves you too!]

Bright and bold comments suddenly appeared in the frame—

[Exploiting child labor, Tang Li you are inhuman!]

Tang Li didn’t hope Song Jingtian could wash the mushrooms cleanly, and after cutting the potatoes, she took the mushrooms back, and the little guy, having nothing to do, wandered off to the bedroom where he and Tang Li would sleep.

Because she was busy cooking, the bedroom hadn’t been tidied up yet.

On the big bed, a pile of bedding sets sent by the program group.

Song Jingtian placed a large pillow at the head of the bed; this was for Tang Li to use. Then he picked up his own cartoon pillow and placed it next to Tang Li’s pillow.

Having done this, he saw the cold water pot on the square table and remembered Meng Shu was coming to dinner.

This was the first time he and Tang Li were hosting guests.

Of course, they couldn’t neglect them.

Pouring water for guests is basic courtesy.

Song Jingtian ran to the main room and returned with two more glass cups.

He tiptoed and took the cold water pot, pouring water into the cups.

After pouring two cups of water, he also noticed the pile of small items on the table, which Tang Li had taken out from her bag and thrown on top of it.

Besides airplane tickets and shopping lists, there was a fancy little bottle.

Out of curiosity, Song Jingtian leaned over and picked up the little bottle.

Finding the mouth of the bottle wasn’t sealed with paper, he casually pulled out the small cork.

And since he didn’t control the force well, at the moment the cork detached from the bottle mouth, quite a bit of liquid spilled out, with a few drops splashed into the glass cup.
