Reboot the heyday

Chapter 3507 This child is too naughty
"Hehe, I know you won't eat properly when you're busy."

Snowball wrinkled its nose, giving a smug look that said, "I knew you all along." It said proudly, "Try it! This stir-fried rice cake is a super shop I recently discovered. It's super delicious."

Wang Taika sat on the sofa, and Xueqiu brought a cushion and placed it on the floor. Xueqiu could sit on it and lie on the table, looking at Wang Taika with longing eyes.

No one can resist a late-night snack, so Wang Taika gathered around the coffee table to enjoy this unexpected treat. Snowball chattered away about her recent work experiences, complaining about someone's quirks on set, and sharing her newly learned cooking method, even though it failed.

As Wang Taika ate his delicious food and listened to her lively narration, he felt his tense nerves gradually relax. Looking at Xueqiu's carefree smiling face, he suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

“Snowball,” Wang Taika put down his chopsticks, his tone gentle, “you’ve really changed a lot.”

"Huh?" Snowball, who was struggling to eat a piece of rice cake covered in sauce, looked up at him, a little red sauce still on her lips, like a little kitten who had stolen a bite. She looked at him blankly. "What's changed? Have I gained weight? No, this is the first time I've eaten a late-night snack in weeks. It's all because of you, that can't be!"

Even her heart was troubled. Snowball subconsciously touched her face, looking worried.

Wang Taika was amused by her adorable reaction and handed her a tissue: "It's not that you've gained weight, it's just that you seem much happier than before, and your whole demeanor is brighter."

Snowball nodded: "Keane is happier now. But it wasn't as obvious as you said before, was it? The opposite of bright is darkness, right?"

Wang Tai paused for a moment, then recalled, "I always felt that you seemed very enthusiastic, but were actually quite distant."

Snowball pursed her lips: "This is the distance that idols should maintain."

Wang Taika didn't really know what to say, because he didn't want to help Xueqiu recall the past. He only wanted to affirm Xueqiu's present; the past was just a prologue, and there was no need to bring it up again.

"In short, you seem very vibrant now, and you seem to be truly enjoying life, genuinely happy." Wang Taika didn't want to continue this less-than-ideal topic.

Snowball took the tissue and wiped her mouth. Hearing this, the smile on her face faded slightly, but her eyes remained clear and gentle. She put down the rice cake, hugged her knees, and tilted her head to think for a moment.

"Well then, thank you!" Her tone was playful, yet earnest. "I used to care a lot about what others thought, worried that I wouldn't do well, afraid of disappointing everyone, and pushed myself too hard. But now..."

Snowball smiled again, with a hint of pride and relief: "I think you have to be happy first before you can pass on happiness to others! Besides, I know that no matter what, I can always rely on you."

As she spoke, Snowball picked up another piece of fried chicken and stuffed it into Wang Taika's mouth: "So stop making such a fuss, or I'll turn into V unnie and call you pretentious! Eat up, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Wang Taika immediately felt a headache coming on: "Don't mention this person."

"Oh, I'm not like them." Snowball chuckled. "I don't have time to get involved in any drama, nor do I have time to be jealous. I certainly won't get caught in the middle and start overthinking. After all, she's still my V unnie. I can't bear to let go of either of you, that's not contradictory. Why would I need to avoid suspicion?"

"But!" Snowball suddenly changed the subject: "Well, I didn't really think anything of it. But you, hehehe, the way you were just now was hilarious. Like something a heroine in an NTR story would say when her partner is suddenly mentioned. It was that 'Don't mention my husband at this time' feeling, haha, it was so funny!"

Wang Taika was suddenly caught in a dilemma. He looked at Xueqiu in astonishment, only then belatedly realizing that Xueqiu was not some innocent little girl; she had a devilish side deep down.

Otherwise, why would they have stood by me in the first place, even becoming mentor and friend in the morbid field of psychology? This was a tragic fate from the start.

However, because Snowball has let go of many of her obsessions and regained her innocent and lively personality, people have overlooked the little evil in her bones.

A person's personality can be innocent and lively, but the little thoughts that pop into their head from time to time are truly devilish.

"Is it appropriate for a female idol to say such things?" Wang Taika had no choice but to say.

Snowball pouted: "Knowing she's a female idol, you still secretly slept with so many of them behind her back, is that appropriate?" Holy crap, this fighting power is a bit unusually ruthless.

Wang Taika changed his tune, saying, "Well, you were dragged into this by me too, so what else is there to say?"

Snowball shook his head, pouted, and said, "Pulling each other down is an interesting analogy, but I don't think it's right. Because we're not really just a difference between clean water and sewage. I know you, teacher, aren't that bad. And I'm not that naive either. If we really have to compare, we can only say that we're two sewage pipes that have come together."

To go along with the crowd? I don't know this idiom, yet it describes things so accurately.

Okay, I give up. They've already admitted they're the source of the pollution, so what else is there to say?

"You win, I'll eat."

"Eat up, I love watching you eat." Snowball won and smiled happily.

Wang Taika chewed on the fragrant fried chicken, looking at the girl in front of him who was laughing carefree but seemed more real and strong than ever before, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

The more noisy and chaotic it got, the more interesting Snowball seemed. Wang Taika said no more, enjoying his meal and continuing to savor this rare moment of relaxation and pleasure.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Snowball leaned contentedly against the sofa leg, rubbing his non-existent belly and making a soft, kitten-like whimper: "Ah, so full. I feel like I'm going to turn into a ball."

“That makes perfect sense, since it’s called Snowball.” Wang Taika said smugly, “What was I thinking when I called you that? Snowball, that’s why we’re calling you that today, right? Is this foreshadowing?”

Snowball's face showed an expression of wanting to laugh but holding it back, which was really annoying.

Unlike Jiongjing, Xueqiu doesn't make a disgusted face when she's right or wrong. Xueqiu never expresses her disgust with facial expressions, but whenever she shows that suppressed laughter expression, it basically means she's expressing her inner disgust.

So that suppressed laughter is infuriating.

"Please, don't try to flatter yourself!"

Snowball said, "This name has been around for a while now. Your idea just overlaps with others. But actually, not many people call me that. Over the years, you're the only one who still calls me that. Fine, then you're unique. Fatball, don't abandon me in the future."

"Don't worry, don't you know my character?" Wang Taika made a sports gesture: "I guarantee I'll kick him away in one kick!"

"Oh my god, that's too much! Ahhh!" Snowball was both angry and amused, mainly because Wang Taika's soccer kicking motion was just too comical.

"Just kidding, how could I?" Wang Taika chuckled, paused, and then made a fake shooting motion: "Go! You!"

“I knew there would be a twist later, I know you too well.” Snowball exclaimed, “No, no, if you ate my food, you have to use the energy you used to transform it on me too. Come on, let’s go to the bedroom.”

Wang Taika immediately realized, "Wait, this transition is too abrupt. Wait, don't touch my pants!"

The snowball bared its teeth and claws: "I'll move! I'll move!"

"You're such a bad child!"
