Su Muzhe ran for half an hour before heading back home. When he entered, he happened to bump into Su Jingyang coming downstairs.
“Dad.”
Su Jingyang nodded. He was also in sportswear. “Done running?”
“Yeah.”
“I’m going for a run. Keep an eye on your Mom,” Su Jingyang said after a pause. “She slept late last night.”
Su Muzhe’s mouth twitched. “Keep an eye on her? How am I supposed to do that?”
Su Jingyang didn’t answer and just pushed the door open and left.
【Wait, what is this conversation???】
【What do you mean keep an eye on your Mom?】
【I knew it, the Mother is still sleeping!】
【Hahaha this family hierarchy is crystal clear】
In the kitchen, Su Muzhe opened the fridge and took out eggs, milk, and bread. He skillfully cracked eggs, mixed them, and started frying.
【??? He knows how to cook?】
【A rich young master cooking personally?】
【His technique looks so practiced】
【Mom’s still asleep, Son’s already cooking breakfast—what kind of family drama is this】
Ten minutes later, a simple breakfast was placed on the table. Su Muzhe looked upstairs and said to the cameraman, “I’ll go call her.”
The cameraman followed him upstairs, pointing the lens at a tightly shut door.
Su Muzhe knocked.
“Mom, wake up and eat breakfast.”
No response.
He knocked again. “Mom?”
Still no response.
He glanced back at the cameraman, looking helpless. Then he took a deep breath and turned the doorknob—
At that moment, a pillow flew straight at his face, hitting him perfectly.
“GET LOST!!!”
The boy’s voice and the woman’s roar rang out at the same time. The cameraman flinched, but still managed to capture everything clearly.
【Hahahahaha I’m dying!】
【Pillow attack warning!】
【What kind of mother-son duo is this】
【Other families: gentle parenting; this family: chaotic comedy】
【Got hit but didn’t even react—what kind of mental strength is that】
【This isn’t their first time, I bet LOL】
The livestream chat exploded, and #SuFamilyPillowIncident quickly trended.
At 7:15, Jiang Yao finally came downstairs.
She wore loose loungewear, long hair casually down, still carrying a sleepy laziness. She walked to the dining table, glanced at the breakfast, then at Su Muzhe.
“You made this?”
“Yeah.” Who else would it be? He was speechless. They were filming a variety show and even dismissed all the household staff. If he didn’t do it, this house would collapse.
Jiang Yao sat down, took a bite of toast, and her eyes lit up. “Not bad, Son.”
The corners of Su Muzhe’s mouth lifted slightly before he suppressed it. “Eat quickly.”
Jiang Yao drank some milk and noticed the cameras in the living room. She raised an eyebrow. “They’re already filming?”
The cameraman nodded.
“Oh,” she said, continuing to eat as if the cameras didn’t exist.
【Damn, that face???】
【This is the Mom??? She looks like a big sister】
【No makeup and still this stunning】
【Lethargic beauty—my type】
【But she was NOT like this when she threw that pillow LOL】
【Morning grump vs normal self: two different people】
Just then, the door opened. Su Jingyang returned from his morning run.
He paused slightly at the setup, then walked in.
“Morning.”
Jiang Yao looked up. “Morning.”
Su Jingyang glanced at the table. “Where’s mine?”
Without looking up, Su Muzhe said, “Make it yourself.”
Su Jingyang: “……”
Jiang Yao couldn’t help laughing.
Helpless, Su Jingyang shook his head, went to wash up, then entered the kitchen. Soon, he came out with a cup of black coffee and sat beside Jiang Yao, casually taking a slice of toast from her plate.
The cameraman immediately focused on the couple.
The man wore a black tracksuit, tall and sharp-featured. The woman leaned back lazily, bare-faced yet effortlessly beautiful. Sitting together, they looked unexpectedly harmonious.
【Wait, they’re a couple???】
【Both of them are insanely good-looking】
【The Father is so handsome! I heard he’s a CEO?】
【Chairman of Su Group, Su family head—Su Jingyang, take my respect】
【Whoa, they really brought a big boss this season】
In just a few seconds, the production staff had to reprocess what “Father” even meant.
While the chat argued, the production team announced the first challenge: Talent Showcase.
The camera cut to the Lu Family.
Lu Sheng sat at the piano, his slender fingers pressing the keys. Chopin’s Nocturne flowed through the morning light.
Beside him, Ye Qing watched with pride overflowing her eyes.
When the piece ended, the chat exploded.
【Too strong! This could be a concert-level performance】
【Piano Prince truly lives up to his name】
【Mrs. Ye, do you need a daughter-in-law?】
#LuShengPiano immediately trended.
The Zhao Family followed.
Zhao Siqi performed a classical ribbon dance in a flowing costume. Her sleeves moved like dragons through the air. Mrs. Zhao accompanied her on the guzheng, perfectly in sync.
【A literal fairy!】
【Mother-daughter duo is gorgeous】
【Mrs. Zhao is actually a hidden expert】
【She’s a professional, you know】
【Music professor specializing in guzheng】
Some late viewers were confused.
【What did I miss???】
The Qian Family.
Qian Duoduo reenacted a dramatic scene, bursting into tears instantly.
“Mom… don’t leave me…”
Her voice trembled with despair and longing.
The directors froze.
【That acting is insane! Crying on cue!】
【Future Best Actress】
【Voice and expression both perfect】
The Zhou Family.
Zhou Xiaoyu solved a difficult math olympiad problem in minutes.
【He solved that in one minute???】
【National gold medalist, of course】
【This is real genius energy】
Then he demonstrated backflips.
【Wait, wasn’t he a scholar type???】
【This guy is terrifyingly well-rounded】
After all four families finished, the chat exploded:
【Where’s the Su Family?】
【What will Su Muzhe do? Cooking again? LOL】
【Or fighting? School delinquent energy maybe?】
The staff turned to ask, but Su Muzhe shot a resentful look at Jiang Yao.
She just shrugged.
“It’s your performance, not mine.”
Su Muzhe snorted.
If anything happened, his Mom would definitely be the type to abandon her Son immediately and run.
No loyalty at all.
He decided to temporarily sever mother-son relations for three minutes.
Then he stood up.
“The backyard has good sunlight. Let’s film there.”
