I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

The little girl was wearing a pink princess dress, her long eyelashes framing her bright, dark eyes that brimmed with childlike innocence.
And with her childishly sweet way of speaking, one couldn’t help but feel their heart melt.
What kind of bad intentions could a child have?
Zheng He thought, could they be as bad as his own?
Of course not!
Zheng He grinned and said: “Of course you can! You can also invite a few friends to go home and play with you!”
The little girl’s eyes immediately filled with joy: “Really? Then I’m going to bring a lot, a lot of good friends home to play!”
Joy appeared on Zheng He’s face as well: “Of course it’s true, brother is your mom’s best friend, I definitely wouldn’t lie to you!”
A lot, a lot of good friends!
Zheng He suddenly felt like he was going to strike it rich!
…Wait! Why did he feel like he was going to strike it rich?
Zheng He, deeply immersed in the role of a human trafficker, quickly pulled out four small bags of snacks for the little girl and persuaded her gently: “Go give these to your friends and tell them they are invited to your house today to play. Your mom has prepared lots of snacks and toys, and she also allows you to watch ‘Boonie Bears’ all day!”
The little girl was so delighted she almost jumped with joy.
The snack packets given by Zheng He were not big, but the little girl’s hands were too small, and she could barely hold the four small bags in her arms, handling them carefully for fear of dropping them.
She looked up at Zheng He, her eyes forming little crescents: “Okay, brother! Wait for me! I’ll go get my friends and come right back!”
The little girl’s face was full of innocent smiles as she walked away with little, short steps.
Zheng He straightened up, his mouth curling into a sinister arc only a big villain would have.
Just like that, it was so simple. How stupid were those previous eight people?
[I’m getting more and more creeped out by Zheng He’s laughter.]
[Zheng He, stop laughing, it’s scaring me!]
[Just like that Zheng He succeeds?]
[The people before said how smart kids are these days, and this is what happens? Zheng He was right, those people really aren’t up to much!]
The little girl approached another girl with two braids and excitedly shouted: “Youyou! Look! Treats for you!”
Youyou asked in confusion: “Where did you get these from?”
The little girl glanced back at Zheng He, who was not far away, and said: “That person gave them to me!”
“Is he your dad?”
“I don’t know him!”
Youyou frowned and looked solemnly at the snacks held carefully in the little girl’s arms, then swallowed hard, struggling to control herself as she said: “Jingjing, Mengmeng teacher said not to eat things given by strangers!”
Jingjing’s big eyes whirled, and she leaned in to whisper to Youyou: “It’s okay! We’ll just eat a little, as long as we don’t go with him we won’t be in danger!”
Youyou thought it made sense and finally couldn’t resist the temptation of the snacks, nodding: “Okay then!”
After Jingjing had distributed all the snacks, a chubby boy nearby looked on timidly, almost drooling, and eventually couldn’t hold back. He approached Jingjing and asked weakly: “Any left? I want some too, can you give me a bit?”
Other kids watching Jingjing eat the snacks also really wanted some.
Jingjing: “Wait a moment! I’ll go ask him for some more!”
Zheng He watched Jingjing running quickly towards him, the villainous arc of his mouth deepening, “Finished already? Where are all your good friends, why didn’t they come with you?”
“Can you give me more snacks? I have more good friends who want some too!”
“Did they agree to go to your house to play?”
Jingjing nodded vigorously, her lively and outgoing nature giving her strong social skills, so she looked at Zheng He with no trace of fear on her cute, silly face and said: “They said they will come with me after eating!”
The remaining snacks in Zheng He’s pocket were meant to be saved for when he got hungry, how could he easily give them away to someone else?
He crouched down, coaxingly saying, “Go tell them your mom has prepared lots of snacks at home, and if they go back with you, they can have all sorts of candies and strawberry cakes, plus various potato chips, jellies, and cookies.”
Jingjing blinked her eyes, hesitantly saying, “But… my good friends said if I don’t bring them tasty things, they won’t go with me…”
Kid’s are easy to trick but such a hassle!
Zheng He pulled out a few more snacks from his pocket, “Is this enough?”
Seeing so many snacks, Jingjing’s eyes lit up, “Wait for me to ask them!”
After Jingjing shared the snacks with her little friends, she came back to ask Zheng He for more. By then, all that was left in Zheng He’s pockets were his own snacks meant for breakfast.
In the end, he grudgingly handed all of them over to Jingjing.
What bad intentions could a child have?
As long as he successfully tricks these kids that others couldn’t, he’d see how Chen Xixi and netizens would mock his intelligence then!
Moreover, he had just been bragging to eight other failed ‘human traffickers’; he had to save his face no matter what!
And then…
After taking all his snacks, Jingjing never came back.
Zheng He stood there stupidly alone on the preschool’s playground, watching Jingjing and the other kids finish their snacks and play on the slide, feeling more and more that something was amiss.
This little guy couldn’t possibly have just conned snacks out of him, could they?
Now who exactly is conning whom?
He is a ‘human trafficker’ after all!
He suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of insult.
How is it not humiliating to be conned by human cubs!
Looking at Jingjing’s figure, watching, it seemed to Zheng He that the petite silhouette overlapped with that of Chen Xixi.
This girl’s cunning is just too much like Chen Xixi!
Zheng He unwillingly clenched his fist, walked quickly to Jingjing who had just slid down from the slide, and said through clenched teeth with a forced smile, “Jingjing, the snacks are all gone, let’s go quickly, your mom is getting anxious.”
“You’re a stranger, I won’t go with you!” Jingjing quickly got up and ran away.
“???”
Do girls these days change their faces this fast?
That’s not what you just said!
Eat the snacks and then disown people?
[Hahaha, Jingjing is really clever! I thought kids were so easy to deceive, and that Zheng He was about to succeed, but surprise, surprise! Zheng He got all his snacks conned by a three-year-old little munchkin, hahaha!]
[Seeing a human cub counter-conning a human trafficker is truly a first, hahaha!]
[Zheng He really gets conned by people of all ages, hahaha!]
[Although he’s pitiful, I really want to laugh, hahaha!]
[One look at Zheng He and you can tell he hasn’t downloaded the anti-fraud APP!]
Zheng He angrily bit his teeth, even a little brat dared to con him, huh?!
But he couldn’t just leave like this, after all, he had to shoulder his own bragging!
There were eight ‘human traffickers’ at the entrance of the preschool waiting to laugh at him!
Zheng He let out a deep sigh of frustration, and just as his eyes, blinded by rage, inadvertently caught sight of a little chubby kid looking at him timidly.
His thoughts suddenly shifted.
If an outgoing little girl is hard to trick, then he should at least be able to deceive this introverted little chubby kid, right?
No matter what, he absolutely could not return empty-handed from this abduction attempt!
