My Jealous Husband Came to the Show Just to Claim Me Again

Xie Zhaozhou took off his sunglasses.

Those deep, sharp eyes looked straight at him.
He wasn’t crying at all.

Ning Shixue felt a little disappointed.

The bullet comments were still stirring things up.

[What kind of fighting? I don’t understand. I suggest you fight right here, or I won’t believe it. doge]

[Where’s the director? This unprecedented luck has finally come to your show. Why not prepare a bed? You’ll be the most popular director this year. Who can be more popular than you? clasped hands.jpg]

[Dammit, I really want to know what wifey did with the little wolfdog at night. Even the kid following didn’t see?]

Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King blinked his big eyes blankly.
He sucked on his hands one by one.
His mind had already started to wander.
He was just a little kid.
He didn’t know anything.

Ning Shixue couldn’t breathe from the filial shock.
Seeing his reputation about to be ruined, he had to tell the truth.

He grabbed Xie Zhaozhou’s hand and gently shook it.
Clearly trying to act cute.
Full of survival instinct, he said,
“I went to learn Sanda with him. It was snowing at night, so we ate outside.”

The bullet comments were very dissatisfied.

[That’s it? That’s it???]

[The little wolfdog isn’t good enough either. Didn’t seize such a good opportunity. (just kidding)]

[I get it. The hat I found isn’t President Xie’s. Turns out it’s mine. Anyway, his wife is still his, and my wife is also his. Puppy hugging leg crying.jpg]

Xie Zhaozhou didn’t know if he believed it or not.
His eyes were still dark.
He found a seat and sat down to order.

He arrived too late.
The restaurant had almost nothing left.
He ordered several dishes that were sold out.
Xie Zhaozhou’s long fingers curled and lightly tapped the table.

Xie Yaoyao fluttered over with his little arms spread.
He was also a little waiter tonight.
He was very familiar with his lines.
First, he offered his soft cheek to be cute.
Then he lay by the table and looked up.
“What dishes you want?”

“You have nothing,”
Xie Zhaozhou glanced at him, his tone unfriendly.
“Should I eat a kid?”

Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King was so scared he was in tears.
He hugged his little belly.
Suppressed memories suddenly attacked him.
He remembered when he first met Ning Shixue, Ning Shixue said he would eat him.
When adults are hungry, they eat kids.

Xie Yaoyao couldn’t handle this blow.
He staggered back a few steps and collapsed into the baby’s arms.

He’d rather be eaten by the baby.

The program team had set a task.
They couldn’t get more than three negative reviews per day.
Otherwise, all the guests would be punished.

The guests were all first-time shop owners.
They had no experience.
And they were short-staffed.
Because the food was served too slowly, they had already gotten three negative reviews today.
If Xie Zhaozhou gave another negative review, they would lose their meals and have to go hungry tomorrow night.

He Lin couldn’t take it anymore.
He decided to make Xie Zhaozhou some noodles.
Anyway, with Ning Shixue here, this bastard wouldn’t dare let his own wife go hungry.
He’d be waiting for a divorce.

He Lin went to cook the noodles.
Grandpa He added a soft-boiled egg.
They had made sweet and sour ribs that night.
There were a few pieces left.
He also put them in the bowl.

Xie Zhaozhou hadn’t eaten dinner that night.
To avoid going hungry the next night, the guests even urged Ning Shixue to deliver the food.

Ning Shixue had to drive the little cart over with Xie Yaoyao.
He handed the bowl and chopsticks to Xie Zhaozhou.
Then he poked the chubby kid’s little bottom.
Xie Yaoyao spread his little hands.
“Sir, your food ready. Eat soon oh.”

The little ribs had been fried, crispy on the outside and tender inside.
Then coated in sweet and sour sauce.
Xie Yaoyao had eaten several pieces that night.
But as he leaned in, he still craved them.
His little mouth was watering.

Even Ning Shixue was hungry.
His stomach growled.
He held Xie Yaoyao in his arms, covering his stomach, and looked at Xie Zhaozhou pleadingly.
He wanted to go eat a late-night snack with him after filming ended.

The director’s script for Xie Zhaozhou also required him to criticize whatever food the guests served.

Actually, Xie Zhaozhou didn’t have to follow the program team’s requirements.
The director couldn’t do anything about him.
But tonight, for some reason, he followed every step of the process.
He was clearly up to no good.

“The ribs are too sweet,”
Xie Zhaozhou said, lowering his eyes and poking at the ribs with his chopsticks.
He hadn’t even tasted them.
His voice was cold.

He Lin’s fists were clenched.

Ning Shixue also saw that Xie Zhaozhou was deliberately making things difficult for them.
Holding the tray, he explained from the side,
“Sir, this is sweet and sour ribs. It’s supposed to be a bit sweet. Would you like to try it first?”

Xie Zhaozhou’s dark phoenix eyes glanced over.
The corner of his mouth seemed to lift slightly, then he restrainedly pressed it down.

[??????]

[Let’s be honest. If President Xie didn’t just smile, I’ll wash my hair standing on my head tonight.]

Xie Zhaozhou’s expression was cold.
But his posture was lazy.
With a hint of a smile, he said,
“How would I know? Why don’t you try it for me?”

“…”
Ning Shixue had no choice.
He took another pair of chopsticks and picked up a rib.

Grandpa He’s cooking was excellent.
The ribs were crispy and tender, sweet but not cloying.
Even with his poor appetite, Ning Shixue couldn’t help eating a lot.

“Careful, it’s hot,”
Xie Zhaozhou said, his voice softening.
He even handed him the soup spoon.
He coaxed him into eating half a bowl of noodles.

Ning Shixue finally realized belatedly.
Xie Zhaozhou had been deliberately teasing him just now.
The tips of his ears, peeking through his dark hair, were pale with a red flush.
He lifted his leg to kick him.

Were all the antagonists on your Earth this flirtatious?

Xie Yaoyao was still beside them, tears in his eyes.
Wuwuwu, he wanted to eat little ribs too.

Xie Zhaozhou said,
“Give him some.”

Ning Shixue gave Xie Yaoyao a piece of rib.

He always knew how to treat Xie Zhaozhou.
He would directly share his own little ribs with Xie Yaoyao.
But he would never give away anything of Xie Zhaozhou’s.

Ning Shixue was already full.
And with his bad stomach, he couldn’t eat too much at night.
Xie Zhaozhou took the chopsticks from his hand and finished the remaining half bowl of noodles.
He gave them a good review.

Finally able to finish work, the guests cleaned up the restaurant.
The kids were already so sleepy they were swaying.

The director had rented a guesthouse near the restaurant.
It was at most a ten-minute walk.
The river bridge was brilliantly lit.
The guests chatted and laughed as they walked towards the guesthouse.

Xie Zhaozhou carried Xie Yaoyao and walked with Ning Shixue at the very back.
He reached out his hand, palm to palm with Ning Shixue.
But he was mean.
He just wouldn’t hold it.

Ning Shixue’s palm curled involuntarily.
Finally, embarrassed and angry, he firmly held Xie Zhaozhou’s hand.

Xie Zhaozhou chuckled softly.
In the night, his voice was especially low and pleasant.
Ning Shixue’s cheeks warmed.
He turned his head and met Xie Zhaozhou’s gaze.
Xie Zhaozhou’s eye sockets were deep.
He looked at him intently.
Like he only had eyes for him.
No one else could compare.

When they got to the guesthouse, it was already past eleven.
The guests all went to their own rooms to sleep.

Xie Yaoyao had fallen asleep on the way.
Xie Zhaozhou put him on the bed.
Xie Yaoyao groggily raised his little arms and let the baby change him into his sleep pants.
Then he stuck out his little bottom, hugged the blanket, and slept soundly.

Ning Shixue wasn’t well.
The program team finally acted like decent people.
For the last few days of the show, they didn’t have 24-hour live stream in his room.
They let him rest well at night.

Ning Shixue’s eyes sparkled.
He waved at Xie Zhaozhou.
Xie Zhaozhou walked over and was pulled into the next bedroom.

“What is it?”
Xie Zhaozhou asked, the corner of his mouth lifting.

Ning Shixue had already memorized the Last Night’s Star script very well.
At home, besides making bears, he had been studying the materials Yan Ting sent him.
He had bought books and done practice tests.

Yan Ting told him to start with middle school content.
Ning Shixue studied for a few days, then did more practice.
This time, he scored a few more points.

But there were still a few equations he couldn’t solve.
He wanted Xie Zhaozhou to teach him.

Xie Zhaozhou thought it was too late at first.
But looking up and meeting Ning Shixue’s beautiful eyes, like they held stars, it was hard to refuse him.
In the end, he pulled him into his arms and wrote out the solution for him.

Ning Shixue hadn’t changed clothes yet.
Xie Zhaozhou’s palm rubbed his bunny tail.
His mind started to wander.

Ning Shixue’s face was bright red.
Even though the tail wasn’t attached to him, he could feel Xie Zhaozhou touching it.
He looked up and met Xie Zhaozhou’s eyes, deep as the sea.

Xie Zhaozhou pressed him down on the sofa and kissed him.
Ning Shixue didn’t resist.
He raised his hand and wrapped it around Xie Zhaozhou’s neck.
Xie Zhaozhou pinched the soft flesh of his cheek and kissed him.
His tongue was sucked numb.
His lips were red, soft, and trembling.

Ning Shixue thought he wanted to do it.
He proactively reached for his belt.
But before he could touch it, Xie Zhaozhou grabbed his wrist.

“What are you doing?”
Xie Zhaozhou’s voice was low and hoarse.

Ning Shixue was stunned for a moment.
His face instantly reddened to the point of bleeding.
He awkwardly pressed his lips together and whispered,
“Don’t you want to…”

“Is this Teacher Xiao Ning’s tuition?”
Xie Zhaozhou’s dark phoenix eyes were thick as night.
He chuckled softly, rubbing his cheek.
“Because I taught you how to solve problems?”

Ning Shixue: “…”

What kind of improper tuition was that?

But Xie Zhaozhou’s embrace was burning.
Ning Shixue’s whole body felt hot.
His eyes were misty.
He hooked his arm around Xie Zhaozhou’s neck and leaned in to bite his thin, red lips.

Xie Zhaozhou’s Adam’s apple moved suddenly.
His patience was completely gone.
He picked him up and put him on the bed.

Although Ning Shixue’s heart failure had recovered, his body was still weak.
Xie Zhaozhou didn’t actually do anything with him.
He just helped him like he had in the car before.

Ning Shixue trembled, clutching the hair at the back of Xie Zhaozhou’s head.
Not until late at night, when the neon lights stopped flickering, did he stare at Xie Zhaozhou’s moving Adam’s apple.
His whole body was red like a boiled little crab.

Xie Zhaozhou lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.
He rubbed his sweaty face and headed for the bathroom.
But Ning Shixue grabbed him.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
“I don’t need it.”

Ning Shixue ignored his refusal.
He forcibly made him lean against the headboard.
He was so nervous his fingers trembled.
Xie Zhaozhou’s cigarettes were on the bedside table.
He reached out and took one.

“No,”
Xie Zhaozhou stopped him.

He was quite indulgent with Ning Shixue.
Even if Ning Shixue played games for hours on end, he wouldn’t say anything.

After all, just recovering from illness was hard enough.
Ning Shixue was still young.
He was naturally at an age where he wanted to play.
As long as it didn’t seriously affect his health, he wouldn’t stop him.

But some things were absolutely not allowed.

Ning Shixue held the cigarette in his mouth, unlit.
His peach blossom eyes were full of moisture, like they held tears.
The white cigarette was wet from his licking.
He held Xie Zhaozhou’s shoulder and kissed him.
Then, wrapped in the blanket, he leaned down.

“Little madman,”
Xie Zhaozhou said, his voice low and hoarse as he chuckled.
His palm stroked his burning cheek.

Ning Shixue looked up.
The corners of his eyes were red.
He also thought he was crazy.
But the person he liked had the gentlest eyes in the world.
Maybe it was an exaggeration to think that.
But for that one look, he would go through fire and water.

Let alone this.

Not until sanity returned did Ning Shixue feel too embarrassed to face anyone.
Wrapped in the blanket, he was practically three meters away from Xie Zhaozhou.
Then Xie Zhaozhou firmly pulled him back into his arms.

Xie Zhaozhou pinched his cheek and kissed him.
The corners of Ning Shixue’s eyes were red.
He whispered angrily,
“I’ve paid the tuition.”

“Have you?”
Xie Zhaozhou drawled, his tone tender.
He said quietly,
“This is a reward for Teacher Xiao Ning. You got all the problems right. So obedient. Don’t you deserve a reward?”

The planet where Ning Shixue was born was for exiling criminals.
Of course, no one was kind enough to let them go to school.
The whole planet only had that one orphanage.
After the headmistress died, those orphans were gone.
The so-called orphanage sponsors only treated them as commodities to be priced.
The better-looking ones were given to high-ranking federal officials as playthings.
The rest worked in mining planets.

The headmistress could barely read.
It was good enough that she could give them names.
He only went to school for a few years after he got to the Federation.

His agent was very opposed.
Anyway, with his face, he could become famous.
Instead of learning a few words, he should go to banquets and network with the officials of the Federation planets.
He came from the pariah zone.
He should be grateful they didn’t put an electronic collar on him.
How could he even think of going to a Federation university?

He was just like Wen Yu, struggling to teach himself.
But his planet’s technology was advanced.
He could find tutorials for anything.

When he went to pick up Xie Yaoyao from kindergarten, he was actually a little envious.
When he saw He Lin teaching He Miao how to act on set, he was also a little envious.
These were things he had never had in his past life.

Ning Shixue looked up and buried his face in Xie Zhaozhou’s palm, rubbing against it.
He couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

But when he opened his eyes again, he asked Xie Zhaozhou,
“If I do well on my next test, will there be another reward?”

Xie Zhaozhou was stunned for a moment.
His gaze softened.
He said quietly,
“Yes. What does Teacher Xiao Ning want?”

Ning Shixue couldn’t think of anything.
With Xie Zhaozhou by his side, he didn’t want anything.

“Tell me when you’ve thought of it,”
Xie Zhaozhou said, lowering his head to kiss his eyelashes.
It was already very late.
He didn’t bother Ning Shixue anymore.
He just pulled him into his arms and slept.

Xie Yaoyao woke up in the middle of the night.
He opened his eyes and didn’t see Ning Shixue.
He propped his chubby face in his hands and sighed.
The baby was gone again.
He was actually a little disappointed.

He stuck out his little bottom and got out of bed.
He pattered to the bathroom.
The baby wasn’t in the bathroom.
He went to the kitchen.
The baby wasn’t sneaking a late-night snack of little chicken legs either.

Finally, he went to the next bedroom.
He found the baby and Big Daddy sleeping together.

Xie Zhaozhou heard his footsteps.
His eyes were dark.
He signaled him to be quiet and not speak.

Xie Yaoyao raised his little hand and gently made a shushing gesture.
Then Xie Zhaozhou picked him up and put him on the bed, tucking him into Ning Shixue’s arms.

When Ning Shixue woke up, Xie Zhaozhou was already gone.
He only had the chubby kid in his arms, sleeping with flushed cheeks.

It rained a lot in Yan City.
It rained again that morning.
Ning Shixue’s legs hurt a bit.
Grandpa He didn’t want him to go to the supermarket.
But Ning Shixue wasn’t in so much pain that he couldn’t walk.

The medicine Xie Zhaozhou bought was very effective.
His leg pain wasn’t as bad now.

Tang He-an rode the tricycle.
He had the kids all put on raincoats and sit on the tricycle.
Ning Shixue was also pushed onto the bike.
Wearing a raincoat, he held Xie Yaoyao in his arms.

Only Xie Yaoyao’s little head was visible.
The soft hair on his head swayed.
His soft, white cheeks were full of excitement.

Being held like this by Ning Shixue made him feel like a little baby.

[When I was little, hiding under my parents’ raincoat, I also thought I was the happiest kid in the world.]

[Fine, fine. I’ll cry. Is that okay? Wuwuwu.]

[Why are Ningning’s lips so red? Dammit, who was sucking on my wife’s mouth last night while I wasn’t looking?!]

[Probably her husband. Lighting a cigarette.jpg]

There was a meteor shower in Yan City that night.
They said it was a once-in-thirty-years event.
It was predicted to start around 8:30 PM.

During the day, the restaurant operated as usual.
But after 8 PM, they stopped accepting new customers.
The director arranged for the guests to go watch the meteor shower too.
The Yan City riverfront was also a good viewing spot.

Xie Yaoyao considered himself Sirius.
Of course, he wouldn’t miss a meteor shower.
Even before it got dark, he started waiting anxiously.

Even little fried meatballs couldn’t distract him.

Not until after 8 PM did the guests go to the riverfront together.
There were already many people there at night, all with camera equipment.

Tonight’s meteor shower was indeed very grand.
Countless stars trailed long tails across the night sky.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime sight.
The stars were brilliant, reflected in the river.
The crowd gasped in admiration.

Ning Shixue couldn’t even bear to blink.
Actually, on his planet, there was a meteor shower almost every night.
When he was little in the orphanage, if he couldn’t sleep at night, he would get up and watch the stars.

That’s why he liked all sparkly things.

But what the guests never expected was that after watching the meteor shower and returning to the restaurant, there were several aliens standing at the entrance.

Ning Shixue: ???

The little kids were ecstatic.
Tang Haohao almost jumped up.
“Big Dad! Little Dad! There are aliens!”

Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King was completely shocked.
His big, dark eyes widened even more.
There really were aliens.

Had these aliens come to give him little chicken legs?

Even He Lin was stunned.
Tang He-an was also startled.
Grandpa He was strongly impacted.

Even Yan Ting’s expression froze slightly.

“Hello,”
one of the aliens suddenly took a few steps forward while the guests were still recovering.
“We would like, to eat here tonight.”

He walked under the light.
Only then could you see the flaws in the alien costume.
There was even a zipper on the back.

The guests were baffled.
They led the few aliens into the restaurant.
They didn’t know how to treat them.

The director remained hidden, a master of his craft.
It was all fate.
He had originally planned to broadcast last week.
But Ning Shixue got sick, and the show was delayed a week.
It happened to coincide with the meteor shower.

So he arranged for the fans coming to eat tonight to dress up as aliens.
It was already very dark at night.
With the meteor shower just passing by, the appearance of aliens wasn’t abrupt at all.

[I give up. I give up. Director, I really admire you.]

[Dying of laughter. I’ve finally seen aliens in this lifetime. I really want to be there. Equally jealous of every lucky winner who got a spot. Wuwuwuwuwuwu.]

The little kids were completely fooled.
Even the most reliable He Miao was bewitched by the aliens.
She ran over and asked,
“Aliens, how did you get here?”

These fans had all undergone special training.
They absolutely would not laugh, unless they couldn’t help it.

One fan imitated an alien’s tone.
“We, came by spaceship.”

Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King was completely shocked.

There really was a spaceship!

Wuwuwu, he also wanted to ride a spaceship and go out to play with the baby and Big Daddy.
He wondered if the aliens could lend it to him.
If not, could his billion buy it?

“Are there little monsters on your planet?”
Tang Haohao asked his most pressing question.

Many little monsters came from outer space.

The alien: “…”

The alien was stumped.
He scratched his head and played along.
“Probably.”

Grandpa He couldn’t even cook in the kitchen anymore.
Who could understand this?
The director had him figured out.
He also really wanted to chat with the aliens.
Even though he knew they were fake, they had just had a meteor shower.
These aliens really seemed to have fallen from the sky with the meteors.

The little kids asked questions nonstop.
The few aliens were very nervous at first.
They were all ordinary people who had never been on a show.
And they were all fans of this show.
Suddenly seeing live cubs and a live wife, they could barely control their excitement.

But the director was really good at this.
They had just watched the meteor shower themselves.
Now they were even a bit suspicious that they might be aliens themselves.
They finally completely let loose and started making things up about aliens.

“Insects? Of course there are. I’ve even fought them!”

“There are also Ultraman on my planet. I’ve even turned into light and fought little monsters with him. Can you believe it?”

“Aliens all look like this. We’re already good-looking. I wouldn’t even dare look at those from the next planet.”

[Help, one dares to say it, one dares to believe it.]

[Fooling your brothers is fine, but you’ve fooled yourselves too. You’re really into character, guys. (just kidding)]

[What’s wrong with that! We want aliens!]

The little kids really dared to believe it.

They were so impressed by the aliens.

“We aliens all have special powers,”
one girl said, raising her hand.
There was a sensor light on the back of her hand.
When she raised it, it lit up.
“My superpower is light.”

Ning Shixue: “…”

Enough. Really, enough.

He wanted to speak for the aliens.

Besides having advanced technology, there were no superpowers at all.
And he didn’t look weird.

But no one believed him.
Qin Naonao even asked suspiciously,
“How you know? You not alien.”

“How do you know I’m not?”
Ning Shixue retorted lazily.
He simply admitted his alien identity.

“Liar,”
Qin Naonao firmly believed he was a liar and even pouted.
“You can’t speak alien.”

These aliens could all speak alien language.

Ning Shixue didn’t indulge bratty kids.
If Qin Naonao had asked nicely, he wouldn’t have bothered arguing.
But since Qin Naonao pouted at him, he actually spoke a paragraph of interstellar language.

He Miao and the others still didn’t believe it.
How could Little Ning Gege be an alien?
But He Miao always supported him.
She leaned in and asked,
“Little Ning Gege, can you see your planet from here?”

Ning Shixue shook his head.
You probably couldn’t see it.
Besides, he didn’t even know if it was the same world.

Only Xie Yaoyao really believed he was an alien.
Because he originally had a bad stepdad, and then he became his baby.

Xie Yaoyao hugged Ning Shixue’s leg and rubbed his chubby face against it.
The baby must have worked very hard to find him by spaceship.

Actually, Yan Ting was also surprised.
He had been amused and smiling by the aliens and the kids.
When Ning Shixue argued with Qin Naonao, he also thought Ning Shixue was just teasing them.

Anyway, Ning Shixue was very childish.

Not until he heard Ning Shixue’s interstellar language.

Although he was a chemistry professor, he was proficient in many languages.
He had also studied linguistics.

He was very sure that what Ning Shixue said wasn’t any language in this world.
Yet it had a pattern.

The practice test Ning Shixue had done before had all the basic things wrong.
He didn’t even understand gravity.
He had filled in the answers randomly.

Thinking about it now, maybe it wasn’t random.
After all, aliens were different from Earth.

Yan Ting thought for a few seconds before he paused.
Maybe staying on the parenting show too long had made him fantasize.

How could Ning Shixue be an alien?

Ning Shixue bickered with Qin Naonao.
The few fans were so happy they cried.
For fans, what could be happier than having their favorite star cook for them personally and chat with them?
Especially since this person was their wife.

One fan even made a bold request.
She wanted to touch Ning Shixue’s bunny ears.

She had originally wanted to touch his tail.
But when she actually saw Ning Shixue, she was too embarrassed to be lewd.

Ning Shixue, with a red face, lowered his head for her to touch.
His beautiful eyelashes curved.
Like they held countless stars.

Alien screaming. jpg

She wasn’t washing this hand.

The aliens could stay until ten.
Xie Zhaozhou was already on his way there by car.
Ning Shixue went outside to wait for him.

Xie Zhaozhou sat in the back seat.
He had also watched tonight’s live stream.
He saw Ning Shixue say he was an alien.

Like Xie Yaoyao, he immediately believed it.
After all, he already knew Ning Shixue wasn’t from this world.

But he hadn’t expected it to be an alien.

Xie Zhaozhou also thought he was crazy.
But he was soberly crazy.
He had never been so clear-headed in his life.

As long as Ning Shixue didn’t leave him, alien or anything, he didn’t care.

The lights along the river were still on.
The meteor shower in the night sky had almost no traces left.

Xie Zhaozhou parked the car under a tree.
From afar, he saw Ning Shixue’s overly thin figure.
The shirt hung loosely on him.
The moonlight shone on him.
He looked like he might melt into the night.

Sometimes, he felt Ning Shixue was like a little sea otter from the depths of the stars.
Now he was about to return to his star.

Ning Shixue was still wearing an apron.
Tang Haohao had tied a beautiful bow on the back for him.

He lowered his head, looking for his phone in the front pocket.
But he was suddenly hugged from behind.
That cold rose perfume scent immediately enveloped him.

The tips of Ning Shixue’s ears warmed.
He turned his head.

“Baby, what’s in your pocket?”
Xie Zhaozhou asked, holding him.
His phoenix eyes curved.
He leaned down, his chin resting on Ning Shixue’s shoulder.
His voice was low and restrained.
He rubbed against Ning Shixue’s hair.
“Put me in too. Take me with you.”
