PVS EXTRA 4 – A Loving Wife, Kid, and a Warm Bed—Couldn’t be More Perfect~

【Xiang Yao: Fishing isn’t easy, huh? Xu Xishuang: (catches one immediately)】

【Hahaha, this scene feels so familiar, like we’ve seen it somewhere before. Back then, Best Actor Xiang had the exact same expression—gagagaga】

【Xu Xishuang: Give me a fishing rod, and I can reel in the whole planet.】

【Hahaha what is even going on, are netizens today really okay mentally】

Xu Xishuang lifted the fish off the ground, removed the hook, and tossed it into the plastic bucket filled with river water. He figured it weighed about two catties and decided to catch one more before heading back.

Remembering what Xiang Yao had said earlier, Xu Xishuang blinked and replied, “It’s not that hard, actually. By the way, Xiang-ge, what’s your task? Need any help?”

Xiang Yao quickly responded, “I’m just looking for duck eggs. There’s no need to trouble yourself.”

However, when Xiang Yao actually started the task, he realized that picking up duck eggs wasn’t as easy as it sounded. The ducks didn’t lay their eggs in consistent spots—eggs were scattered along the riverside, and some were hidden in really tricky places. If you didn’t search carefully, you wouldn’t find them at all.

While Xu Xishuang was fishing, Yan Yushan and Yan Qingci were invited into the brick house by the grandmother and sat in the living room.

The grandmother turned to Yan Qingci, her face full of kindness as she asked, “Good boy, do you want to watch TV? Want some fruit? Want to play with some toys?”

Caught off guard by the grandmother’s enthusiasm, Yan Qingci sat up straight and replied politely, “No thank you, Grandma. I’m good.”

Noticing how dry Yan Qingci’s lips looked, Yan Yushan turned to the grandmother and said, “Grandma, could I ask you for some water for the child?”

“Of course, of course,” the grandmother nodded repeatedly. “I’ll go get it.”

The old lady went into the kitchen, while the young girl sat on the other end of the sofa. She looked a bit nervous facing the camera, but couldn’t help sneaking glances over at Yan Yushan and Yan Qingci.

Yan Yushan looks even more handsome up close. And isn’t his and Xu Xishuang’s child named Tudou? So adorable…

Not long after, the grandmother came out of the kitchen holding a bowl of brown sugar water. She carefully handed it to Yan Qingci, who took the porcelain bowl, thanked her politely, then stared at the sugar water in silence for a few seconds. In the face of the grandmother’s kind and expectant gaze, he finally took several big sips.

Seeing that he really couldn’t drink anymore, Yan Yushan took the bowl from him and finished it off, then got up on his own to rinse the bowl clean in the kitchen and set it out to dry on the stove.

【A grandma at this age making brown sugar water for Tudou—she must really love him. Back in the day, brown sugar water was precious. She’s giving Tudou the best, which proves our Tudou is loved by all!】

【Fun fact: Yan-ge once posted on Weibo that Yan Tudou doesn’t like sweet things. He takes after his dad, not Xu Xishuang～】

【Wait, are you telling me that someone as icy and elegant as Xu Xishuang actually likes sweets? (completely missing the point)】

【The real point is Tudou doesn’t like sweet things, but he still didn’t turn down grandma’s kindness! Tudou is so considerate and well-mannered—what great upbringing!】

【What turns CEO Tudou into Sweet Xiao Tudou in an instant? Oh, it’s grandma’s heartfelt love!】

【Wait, what?! Xu Xishuang’s already back?!】

Just as Yan Qingci and Yan Yushan finished their brown sugar water, Xu Xishuang returned to the courtyard with his fishing rod and open-top jar, proudly carrying his catch. He set the plastic bucket with three fish down by the edge of the yard and asked the young girl who had just come out, “Do you think these three fish weigh about three jin?”

The young girl stared wide-eyed at the three plump fish in the bucket, clearly shocked, and couldn’t help but ask Xu Xishuang, “You really caught these with a bamboo rod?”

“Yeah,” Xu Xishuang glanced at the slender bamboo rod, “When I was pulling up the last one, the tip nearly snapped. Probably won’t be usable after this. That’s a shame—it was a really handy rod.”

Young girl: …Is that really the main point?!

Yan Yushan and Yan Qingci came out as well. Yan Yushan asked Grandma for another bowl of brown sugar water, handed it to Xu Xishuang, and after watching him drink it, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. “You did amazing, baby.”

Yan Qingci squatted next to the bucket, staring at the fish inside. Hearing that, he looked up and gave Xu Xishuang a sweet smile. “Daddy, you’re amazing!”

【Yan-ge still calls Shuangshuang “baby” even after having a kid—so doting, hehe】

【Xu Xishuang, truly impressive—looks like dinner’s taken care of!】

【Ahhh Yan Tudou’s smile is so sweet! Is this the first time our CEO Tudou has smiled on the show? So cute, waaah】

【Saved! Never thought a cold-faced CEO could smile like that, hahaha】

The young girl carried the big fish into the kitchen, accepting them as the family’s “lodging fee” for their stay. She seriously suspected Xu Xishuang had some kind of cheat code. On the other hand, Fei Yuan also suspected Xu Xishuang had a “Fishing God” aura. Slapping his thigh, he felt like he had misjudged but seeing the view count made him feel better. He even asked the editing team to screenshot Xu Xishuang fishing and post it on Weibo.

Tudou’s family successfully moved into the two-story brick house. They chose the room on the far right of the second floor. After unpacking, they found the large bed was more than enough for the three of them.

The young girl glanced at Xu Xishuang and Yan Yushan, then quietly said as she took bedding from the cabinet, “This room used to be my big brother and sister-in-law’s wedding room…”

Xu Xishuang stared at the red mandarin duck-patterned duvet the young girl had pulled out, eyes fixed on the big double happiness “Xi” character printed on it. He fell silent and didn’t respond.

Beside him, Yan Yushan held back a laugh and patted the head of the slightly confused Yan Qingci, not offering any explanation either.

【Exactly, Yan-ge and Shuangshuang staying in the wedding room—warm bed, loving wife and kid, it all checks out~】

【Whoa, the comment above even rhymed. That blanket is such a throwback—used to be a wedding staple!】

【Yan Tudou: I don’t get it, but must maintain CEO aura.】

Xu Xishuang and Yan Yushan made the bed together, then unpacked their luggage. Yan Qingci opened his little suitcase too, placing his toiletries in the bathroom. He even carefully set his yellow rubber ducky cup between Xu Xishuang and Yan Yushan’s cups.

The live chat exploded with squeals over Yan Qingci’s unexpectedly adorable side. No one had expected the little CEO to use something with a duck pattern. When they saw his pajamas with a corgi print, viewers went wild taking screenshots, already looking forward to seeing him in them that night. They were determined to collect blackmail material from CEO Tudou’s childhood “dark past” and save it to tease him once he grew up!

Yan Qingci had no idea about the viewers’ wicked plans. After putting away his pajamas, he walked over to Xu Xishuang, rubbed his eyes, and said, “Daddy, I’m a little sleepy.”

“Go ahead and sleep,” Xu Xishuang said as he helped him take off his jacket. “I’ll wake you up for dinner.”

Yan Qingci fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the bed. His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes, and his baby-fat cheeks rested against the pillow. Just looking at him could melt anyone’s heart.

Yan Yushan gently pulled the blanket up over him, then reached out to pull Xu Xishuang into his arms. Xu Xishuang naturally leaned against his chest. The two of them cuddled close, and whenever Xu Xishuang saw something funny, he would lift his phone to share it with Yan Yushan. They laughed quietly together—it was obvious they were used to moments like this.

After a while, Yan Yushan half-embraced Xu Xishuang from behind as they read a new drama script together. Each time Xu Xishuang finished a page, he would nuzzle his head against Yan Yushan’s chin. Yan Yushan understood the cue and turned the page so they could keep reading.

The two of them sat against a backdrop of red, no different from a pair of newlyweds. The “Xi” characters on the bed and wall blended into the scene, perfectly matching the sweet atmosphere between them.

【So warm and sweet, waaah I’m gonna cry—you two have to stay together forever!】

【Xu Xishuang and Yan Yushan: forever newlyweds! Forever in love!】

【Tudou is so adorable, waaah how can a kid look this cute?!】

【While the other parents and kids are still doing their tasks, the Tudou family is already chilling】

【Shhh! I just saw Fei Yuan flash by the camera holding a little whiteboard—don’t tell me he’s about to mess with the guests again? Tudou just fell asleep!】

A second after that comment floated by, both Xu Xishuang and Yan Yushan’s phones chimed at the same time.

They picked up their phones and saw that Fei Yuan had pulled all the guests into a group chat. In the chat, Fei Yuan wrote: “Ahem. You’ve all had a long day—lots of travel, walking, and tasks. So tonight, there’s no clock-in mission. Everyone, get some rest early.”

Xu Xishuang and Yan Yushan exchanged a look. They both knew it wasn’t going to be that simple. Fei Yuan was definitely scheming something, just waiting to stir up trouble.

Sure enough, after getting everyone’s replies, Fei Yuan continued in the group chat: “Make sure to get a good rest tonight, because tomorrow we’ll be getting up early to hike up the mountain for the sunrise. After that, you’ll be learning how to make things with the villagers, and the day after, you’ll be selling them at the market.”

Xiang Yao: “Make what exactly?”

Liang Feng: “What time are we waking up tomorrow morning?”

Lu Rui: “Is the market far from here?”

Fei Yuan: “Don’t worry, all will be revealed in time. For now, just rest.”

Everyone else: …How are we supposed to rest after that?!

After dinner, the Tudou family—being the only ones staying in the brick house—had access to a proper bathroom. But the other three groups, who were staying in earthen houses, weren’t so lucky. They brushed their teeth by the ditch behind the house, washed their faces near the courtyard wall, and the only bathroom was combined with the shower.

Fearless as ever, Pidan ended up bursting into tears after being startled by the pigs in the pen next to the toilet.

Through tears and wails, Pidan cried, “It’s gonna bite my butt! Waaaah!”

Liang Feng laughed so hard he rolled around on the bed, while Cheng Xiaohui tried to comfort Pidan and tell him to be brave. Pidan had almost calmed down until he saw the gloating look on Liang Feng’s face, which made him so mad he cried for several more minutes.

The Xiao Lajiao family’s house wasn’t far away. Lu Rui heard the noise and came over to check on them, wanting to see if they needed help. Once he heard the full story, he was torn between laughing and crying, then went back hugging Xiao Lajiao.

【I feel Pidan’s pain so hard. When I was little, our toilet was next to the pigsty too, and I was too scared to go because the pigs were watching me.】

【It really is scary… don’t blame kids for being timid. I’m an adult and I’d still be freaked out. Pidan’s already being really brave.】

【This show really shouldn’t be called Take the Kids Traveling, it should be called Take the Kids to Suffer, right?】

【But honestly, it’s good for the kids to experience this kind of life. You can’t raise them in a greenhouse and expect them to handle the real world.】

Thankfully, everyone got a decent night’s sleep. It was still spring, so there were no mosquitoes, and the nights weren’t too hot. The only maddening part was getting jolted awake at 5 a.m. by crowing roosters and a message from Fei Yuan on their phones.

In the Tudou family, Yan Yushan was the first to wake up. He ruffled his hair, headed to the bathroom to wash up, then came back to the bed and kissed Xu Xishuang on the cheek, followed by a kiss to Yan Qingci’s forehead. He gently woke them up, and the livestream chat went wild with squeals, capturing tons of screenshots of the warm family moment.

By the time Xu Xishuang went to the bathroom, Yan Yushan was already dressed. He came over to the bed to help the still-groggy Tudou change out of his pajamas.

Since the cameras had been turned off early last night, the early bird viewers were now treated to a rare sight—CEO Tudou in corgi pajamas. The screenshots started flying again as the tiny tail on the pajamas wagged with Yan Qingci’s movements, making everyone’s hearts melt and triggering waves of delighted auntie laughter.

The other guests also started waking up. The kids were still half-asleep, getting carried by their parents. Shockingly, the last one to get up was Liang Feng, and it took both Cheng Xiaohui and Pidan pinching his ears together to finally drag him out of bed.

Fei Yuan was already waiting at the meeting spot, holding his trusty little whiteboard. Once everyone had arrived, he glanced at his watch and said, “You’re all a little late. So now, you have exactly half an hour to get up the mountain. If you don’t make it in time, you’ll miss the beautiful sunrise and your clock-in task will be a failure.”
