The Villainess is Three and a Half Years Old - Chapter 72.1

Ye Ziyu’s voice prompted the entire family to set aside their tasks and gather around the television.

The channel was airing the highly popular reality show “Challenging the Extraordinary.” This variety show was full of humor and touching moments, featuring celebrity guests from the industry. Its unpretentious and engaging storyline far outshone similar programs, earning it high viewership and a great reputation.

Today marked the finale, but an unexpected situation arose in the program…

On the television screen, the three-year-old Xiao Tuanzi, dressed in a white dress, sat next to the elderly birthday star. The scene appeared ordinary and heartwarming.

Then the camera shifted. Xiao Tuanzi stepped onto the stage and, in front of everyone, produced a bamboo board.

Seeing this scene, Ye Linchuan was almost dumbfounded.

While they were all anxiously searching worldwide for someone, this little rascal was enjoying lavish feasts. After finishing her meal, she even had the leisure to perform on stage???

Ye Yaya, standing next to him, sensed a change in the man’s demeanor. Silently, she circled around to the front of the sofa and, with small hands and feet, crawled up and leaned back, adopting a classic relaxed slouch.

“Ye Yaya, you participated in the show! Did the show’s crew give you money? Did they?” Ye Ziyu’s eyes gleamed as he held Ye Yaya’s little arm, questioning incessantly.

Watching the little girl on the big screen perform quick comedic dialogues, Ye Ziyu felt an indescribable sense of pride. “Yesterday, I told Fatty and the others that Ye Yaya can perform using bamboo boards, but they didn’t believe me. This time, they’ll definitely believe it!”

At home, Ye Ziyu was a tiger, but at school, he transformed into a kitten, quiet and hesitant to initiate conversations. Fatty was his desk partner and his only good friend. He was just and kind, always sharing a piece of his spicy snack with Ye Ziyu. The only drawback was his disbelief in what Ye Ziyu said.

He said he was the son of a tycoon, and Fatty retorted, “I haven’t heard that my dad has another son.”

He also said his younger sister was adorable and could perform bamboo boards. Fatty countered, “De Yun She doesn’t accept three-year-old apprentices.”

He even claimed his sister worked as a model to support the family. Fatty shot back, “Employing child labor is illegal.”

No matter what he said, Fatty’s attitude remained uninterested and unbelieving. Ye Ziyu thought Fatty was a reincarnated skeptic, which was why he was so heavy. Tomorrow, he would use this program to prove himself and shut Fatty up. The sound of bamboo boards echoed, with a sweet, milky voice.

Ye Ziyu listened with great joy and casually munched on melon seeds while sitting next to Ye Yaya. However, his joy was short-lived.

The later editing skipped to the point where Ye Linchuan appeared. In the scene, the man strode in with an air of dominance, his face dark. He walked towards Ye Yaya with fierce momentum. After a brief conversation, he grabbed her and slapped her on the buttocks, revealing his ferocity.

“Dad, you hit Ye Yaya?” Ye Ziyu looked at his father in disbelief.

In his memory, his father had a bad temper but never lost patience to the point of physical violence against children. Even when he tore up an important contract last time, it was merely verbal education. This was the first time Ye Ziyu had seen his father lose his temper so dramatically.

In the swaying scene, Ye Yaya fled while crying, and the background was filled with both goose honks and laughter, creating chaos.

“Dad, how could you hit Ye Yaya? This is domestic violence!” Ye Ziyu earnestly lectured, “Please don’t do this again in the future.”

“Yeah, yeah, Ye Yaya is still a little baby. If Uncle hurts her, she won’t be clever anymore.” Shen Ran chimed in, then continued to watch TV quietly.

Ye Linchuan was speechless.

At the time, in his fit of anger, he didn’t think he was being too harsh. Now, looking back at the scene, it seemed he hadn’t been harsh enough!

This little rascal ran several kilometers away from home, remained unrepentant, and defended herself eloquently. She needed a good beating to teach her a lesson!

“Ye Yaya, does your bottom hurt?” Ye Ziyu felt sorry for her, “Let big brother blow on it.”

Before Ye Yaya could reply, Ye Linchuan slapped Ye Ziyu’s head, sternly instructing, “Ye Ziyu, mind your words in the future. There’s a distinction between boys and girls. Understand?” With that, he shot a stern look at his son and went to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Holding his throbbing head from the slap, Ye Ziyu pouted in grievance and moved closer to Ye Yaya. “Then, will you blow on big brother’s head…”

Ye Yaya’s lashes fluttered lightly, casting a glance, and then turned their gaze to the television screen with the same gentle demeanor.

As the program was nearing its end, the director inserted a 15-minute-long Easter egg. In this segment, he explained that Ye Yaya’s appearance was merely a coincidence, and he specifically urged parents to watch over their children. Following that were interviews with fans.

“We eloped!” The first ordinary couple to appear faced the camera. The man appeared stern, while the woman nestled in his arms like a bird, smiling sweetly.

Ye Yaya found these two familiar. She nibbled her finger, deep in thought, until her eyes lit up. “It’s the big sister who gave me a ride~” Recognizing them, she watched with extra concentration.

“Our coming together owes thanks to little Ye Yaya. If she hadn’t accidentally gotten in our car, we wouldn’t have met,” the girl looked at the camera and addressed Ye Yaya. “But in the future, you can’t run away secretly anymore. If you wander off, both Mom and Dad will worry.”

“I know! I won’t wander off anymore. I won’t make big brother worry,” Ye Yaya stood in front of the television, looking up and engaging in a serious conversation with the girl on the screen.

Butterflies circled on the girl’s shoulder, gradually transforming into dots of light that disappeared into the air. The girl now had a more devoted guardian, and her guardian spirit had fulfilled its mission.

“Sister, I hope you’ll be happy in the future!” She hugged the television, loudly bestowing blessings upon the unfamiliar sister she had only seen on screen.

At the same time, phrases like “Ye Yaya chased by a goose,” “Yè Línchuān hits a woman,” “Ye Yaya uses bamboo boards,” and “Ye Yaya runs away from home” dominated the top ten trending search terms.
