Chapter 24.1

Chu Xiaoyi never expected that he would one day become a nationally recognized elder brother, even being promoted for marriage by his own sister on a TV show.

This act made the entire nation seem to want to become his potential relatives. The pain he had experienced over the past five years of lost opportunities during the Spring Festival was now being compensated all at once. Suddenly, everyone was overly concerned about his marriage, leaving him feeling suffocated.

Chu Xiaoyi was surprised to receive caring messages from Director Chen. He couldn’t help but remark, “Am I not a celebrity idol? Dating now leads to a career decline. Don’t other people understand that?”

I see you’re all rebels and traitors, trying to sabotage my grand plan for our nation!

Chu Xiaoyi’s fans, of course, knew he wouldn’t be dating, so they enjoyed even more of the dark humor of him being teased. They couldn’t help but stir the pot, playfully calling themselves “Chu Xiaoxiao’s sisters-in-law.”

What’s more amusing was that bystanders, especially the older generations who weren’t active online, took it seriously and would occasionally inquire about Chu Xiaoyi’s situation.

@Did Chu Xiaoyi go on a blind date today:* [My dad suddenly asked me, “Has that celebrity named Chu Xiaoyi found a partner?” I replied, “Not yet.”]

T/N: A username.

[He actually shook his head regretfully, saying, “Back in my day, I had chosen your mom in just three days. He’s just not up to the task, look how anxious he’s making his sister!” [Chuckling emoji] I might just die laughing from my dad’s teasing.]

@I am Xiaoxiao’s Camera: [I read out a couple of the negative comments to my family about Chu Xiaoyi, like “Chu Xiaoyi has a low education level and contradicts himself by showing up on variety shows.”]

[After hearing it, my grandmother got so angry that her expression changed instantly. She retorted, “What’s wrong with having a low education level? Are people with low education levels not allowed to go on TV for blind dates? They wouldn’t be as relaxed and will be in a hurry compared to you.”]

[Now my grandmother is busy defending Chu Xiaoyi offline. Anyone who dares to criticize him will be met with her fierce defense. [Dog emoji]]

Before appearing on the show, Chu Xiaoyi was indeed mocked online by many netizens. After all, he had once declared that he wouldn’t go on variety shows, but now he’s at it, facing the backlash of his past statements.

He couldn’t avoid facing sarcastic remarks. However, these haters were finding it hard to criticize him now. The reason was that Chu Xiaoxiao firmly shut down any criticism on the show, making it difficult for them to find any leverage!

Chu Xiaoyi’s younger sister personally confirmed that her older brother was “poor, not intelligent, doesn’t know foreign languages, and can’t do household chores.”

With this, where else can outsiders find fault with? It’s like stock that has already hit rock bottom, how much further can it drop?

The naysayers continue to defame and smear Chu Xiaoyi, causing even bystanders to feel uncomfortable. Despite the young man’s already poor conditions, they kept nitpicking at his flaws every day. Were they really trying to push someone to the brink?

Chu Xiaoyi never imagined that one day he would be whitewashed from his own inadequacies.

Due to the unfavorable image he held in his sister’s eyes, now everyone pitied and consoled him. Were they afraid that he might not be able to cope with it?

Even when faced with the press’s relentless rumors about forced marriage and blind date pressure, there was no longer any intimidation in his demeanor. Everyone now knew that his true nature was that of a simple-minded person who just liked to appear aloof and strike back with heavy punches.

After the second episode of “ Our Family over Several Generations “, Chu Xiaoyi’s simple-minded image was further solidified. This was due to the fact that Chu Xiaoxiao was quite strong in kindergarten.

In the show, the production team thoughtfully included a disclaimer before the kindergarten segment, saying, “This is a precious segment that underwent rigorous scrutiny, and all personnel worked hard for it.”

Countless luxury cars lined up at the entrance of the international kindergarten, parents and children frequently greeting Chu Xiaoxiao, and the crowd flowing like waves around the siblings. All of this made the audience feel curious and entertained.

In the scene, Chu Xiaoyi led his sister through the kindergarten, surrounded by numerous adorable cartoon characters. Some parents and children covered their faces so thoroughly that one might have thought it was a live-action Disney animation.

Chu Xiaoxiao remained quite amidst the crowd, greeting her classmates naturally. However, Chu Xiaoyi seemed quite flustered, appearing disoriented.

[Is this a kindergarten or a zoo?]

[“Top influencer” Chu Xiaoxiao in kindergarten, now I can imagine her being the protagonist in “Three-Year-Old Secret Agent Princess” [doge]]

[Xiaoyi, walk on your own, don’t bother our big sister in kindergarten [ok]]

[The animals (??) on the show dress and live better than me (:3)∠)]

Annie’s mother and others were willing to appear on the show and naturally didn’t hide behind cartoon avatars. She even had her own character label, with “Annie’s Mother” written prominently in four characters, followed by a simple identity introduction in smaller font.

Due to the timing of the show’s airing and Chu Xiaoyi’s recent brand endorsement, astute viewers immediately picked up on the clues!

[I used to think that not finding a job was my problem. Now, I’m so angry I kicked my brother!]

[Just as I thought, why did the brand endorsement come so suddenly? Xiaoyi, are you shamelessly taking advantage of your sister??]

[Fellow contemporary influencers: Mom, Dad, I don’t want to work hard anymore, please have a second child! Look at someone like CXY, think about my well-being!]

[Children’s social connections are effective indeed. It reminds me of when my dad used to be a group administrator. If you control the parents’ group, you control the local/ provincial/ country/ world economic lifelines [salute emoji]]

[Reject binding with others, just focus on the little one. Please CXY, don’t cling on others, just stick to being with the popular kindergarten star. Also, everyone, pay attention to Chu Xiaoxiao’s work, “Xiao Hei’s Language Classroom” [cute]]

If the previous segments were all lighthearted and playful, then Chu Xiaoxiao’s speech on the stage was truly shocking, making the audience realize what a “ human translator ” is.
