Upon hearing He Nian's words, Lin Yi simply replied, "Done talking? If so, get out. I need to pack."
He Nian frowned, feeling aggrieved. "Cousin, we're family. Isn't this a bit heartless?"
He waited for Lin Yi to argue, then he could seize the opportunity to say more in his favor.
This was a skill he excelled at-standing on a moral high ground and portraying himself as a victim to blame others, making people naturally side with him.
In the past, this tactic had always worked.
However, Lin Yi did not play by the rules and simply nodded. "Mm."
Then he continued packing without further acknowledging He Nian.
He Nian: "..."
He had prepared many more things to say, but Lin Yi's casual "mm" left him speechless, almost choking on his words.
He Nian was caught between speaking and not speaking.
At this moment, the cameraman entered.
Facing the camera, He Nian quickly switched to his usual gentle demeanor and said, "Cousin, I'll leave now. Let's keep in touch. After all, we're family and should support each other."
In the live stream, He Nian's fans immediately agreed.
"Aww, Nian cares so much about family ties."
"Nian always has such a beautiful heart."
However, a wave of different comments soon appeared.
"???"
"Isn't He Nian just a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year?"
"When will He Nian stop being so fake? It makes me want to vomit."
"I've noticed something interesting. Don't you think He Nian has lost a lot of fans? His fans used to be all over the live streams, but this time there are hardly any."
"Indeed, He Nian keeps making mistakes and is almost losing all his fans."
"It's a cause for celebration!"
Half an hour later, it was time to leave.
Lin Yi and Huo Mianmian were the first to depart.
As they were about to leave, the other three children surrounded Huo Mianmian and started talking to him.
"Mianmian, let's play together again next time."
"Mianmian, since you like drawing, I'll bring you some watercolor pencils."
"..."
Although Huo Mianmian had a tendency towards being introverted and didn't like interacting with others, he had become somewhat familiar with these three companions after spending a few days with them.
So, he rarely spoke to anyone other than Lin Yi: "Goodbye, everyone."
His voice was soft and sweet, each word pleasant to the ear, as if wrapped in cotton candy.
The other three children were stunned when they heard him speak and became even more enthusiastic in their conversation with him.
Lin Yi stood aside, watching this scene with great satisfaction.
It was clear that Huo Mianmian was no longer as averse to interacting with people as he was at first, which was a good sign.
They would take it one step at a time, and eventually, Huo Mianmian would become as lively and cheerful as most children.
