Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs-Chapter 346 - Why Are There Two Shao Nans?

Now, they really had a home in the county city. Previously, they hadn’t been able to find a suitable house, but they recently had. Mu Jingzhe had directly bought the house. Shao Xi, Shao Dong, and Xiao Wu finally had a home in the county city. They no longer had to look for Shao Qiyang or Li Zhaodi.

When they lived there, Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai would always be separated. The two of them would take turns taking care of the kids in the village and the county city.

This weekend, it was Mu Jingzhe’s turn to be in the county city. When Shao Dong and Shao Xi returned home, they happened to see Shao Nan, who was also home. “Shao Nan, why didn’t you tell us that you were going to the audition? When did you start thinking about acting?”

Shao Xi was the most excited out of the duo. “You’re acting because my story is good, right? I knew you worshipped me.”

Shao Nan was speechless. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? I don’t worship you.”

Mu Jingzhe was stunned when she heard their conversation. “What audition? Little Nan, didn’t you go to the library?”

The library had a good learning atmosphere, so Shao Nan liked to go there.

Shao Nan replied vaguely, “Yes, I went to the audition briefly. I didn’t expect to be chosen. I didn’t anticipate it either.”

“You’re really good at hiding it. You didn’t reveal any flaws previously.” Shao Xi was sighing when another person entered the door. Shao Xi turned his head, and his eyes widened. “Shao Nan!”

“Why is there another Shao Nan here?!”

The Shao Nan who was at the door stared at the Shao Nan inside. “You… What’s going on?”

“I meant to ask you that. What’s going on with you? Why are there two Shao Nans?”

Shao Xi pulled the other Shao Nan in and placed him beside the Shao Nan in the room. “What’s going on? What’s going on?! Shao Nan, have you mastered that cloning thing you mentioned before and cloned yourself? Or did you study Sun Wukong’s 72 Transformations and conjure up a different version of yourself?”

The Shao Nan who had come second was speechless. “Second Brother, are you stupid? Why are you talking about Sun Wukong? That’s Little Bei.”

The Shao Nan who had entered the room first was also speechless, but he didn’t admit that he was Little Bei. “Second Brother, you’re really hopeless. I’m Little Nan, and she’s Little Bei.”

The two Shao Nans’ tones and expressions were identical.

Shao Xi: “Which one of you exactly is Little Bei?”

He looked left and right. “I remember you two being about the same height. Even your teeth looked almost the same after they fell off and you grew new ones. But I didn’t think you two looked alike in the past. When did you two start looking so similar?”

“We’ve always looked similar. We’re twins!” The two Shao Nans exclaimed in unison.

Shao Xi was even more confused. He looked at Mu Jingzhe, asking for help. “Mommy, can you tell the difference?”

Mu Jingzhe and Shao Dong looked at each other. “I can tell. Can’t you tell?”

Shao Xi looked at them, unwilling to admit that he really couldn’t tell. He thought for a moment calmly and looked at them carefully. Finally, he pointed at the Shao Nan who had entered the room first. “You’re Little Bei, right?”

Little Bei wailed and opened her mouth to bite Shao Xi’s finger. “Second Brother, you’re really stupid. You actually only guessed it now.”

“You really are Little Bei!” Shao Xi’s face was filled with surprise. He shook his hand, which hurt from the bite, and circled Little Bei. “Why didn’t I realize that you and Little Nan looked so similar in the past? Why did you suddenly pretend to be Little Nan? Your hair…”

“This only happened because you didn’t write about a little girl and made the protagonist a little boy. I could only pretend to be Third Brother to audition.” Little Bei was sad when she heard him mention her hair. She then pounced on Mu Jingzhe. “Mommy, my hair. Boohoo…”

Shao Xi looked at Little Bei, who had previously been covered in Shao Nan’s clothes from head to toe and suddenly became Little Bei now. Although she was still short-haired and was wearing the same clothes, he could tell at first glance now. His eyes were filled with shock.

“Little Bei, how did you do it? Why do you look so much like Little Nan? So the actor Director Jiang chose was actually you? Not Shao Nan?”

“Of course it was me. Third Brother doesn’t know how to act at all.” Little Bei pursed her lips. “I learned so well because I’ve been observing and imitating Third Brother recently. It looks like the results are pretty good. Even you didn’t recognize me.”

Little Bei sounded a little proud.

Although others had been able to tell that Little Bei and Shao Nan were twins previously, it was very easy to distinguish them. Because Little Bei was a girl and Shao Nan was a boy, they wore different clothes. Therefore, they didn’t look like replicas of each other.

Although Shao Dong and Shao Xi looked similar too, people could always tell them apart.

However, they hadn’t expected Little Bei to bear such a shocking resemblance to Shao Nan after cutting her hair short. Shao Xi was both surprised and moved. “So… So Little Bei, you dressed like this because you wanted to portray Little Fish?”

“That’s right.” Little Bei nodded.

Mu Jingzhe stroked her hair. “So you said that you didn’t want to go to art school today and insisted on following your grandmother to town just to pretend to be Shao Nan for the audition?”

“Mm.” Little Bei nodded.

“You made a decision long ago?” Mu Jingzhe asked.

“Mm, I’ve always been very regretful. Then, when I looked at Second Brother, I suddenly had this thought. Little Fish is about the same age as us. I felt that there was still a chance, so I secretly studied the part.”

Little Bei’s acting seemed very real and was very much related to her observation and learning ability.

During this period, she had been imitating Shao Nan. Then, when she’d heard that they hadn’t chosen an actor, she had completely made up her mind. For the first time ever, she had lied to Mu Jingzhe and followed Li Zhaodi to town. In the end, she had confessed it all to Li Zhaodi in town, which had resulted in what had happened afterward.

Little Bei had decided to audition as Shao Nan. First, she had gone to get a haircut. Coincidentally, it was market day in town, and there were many haircut stalls, so she had directly had her hair cut in one of them. She had shown the barber Shao Nan’s photo and asked him to cut her hair exactly like that.

The barber: “…”

Coincidentally, the barber Little Bei went to was the one that Mu Jingzhe had once looked for. He didn’t know why his stall had suddenly become a place where girls liked to cut their hair. Furthermore, all of them wanted to cut their hair into boyish hairstyles.

However, he didn’t refuse this time. As an old master with twenty to thirty years of experience in shaving and cutting hair, he perfectly copied Shao Nan’s hairstyle for Little Bei.

The old barber had never watched movies and didn’t recognize Little Bei. He even acceded to her request and helped her save the hair after cutting it.

After the haircut, Little Bei took a set of clothes identical to Shao Nan’s out of her bag to change.

Shao Nan and Little Bei had many clothes that looked like twins’ outfits. Some of them were dresses and pants, and some were identical.

Before Shao Nan went out that day, Little Bei had offered to help him pick out an outfit, and she had picked out an identical one.

After Little Bei had changed into the outfit, she’d completely transformed into Shao Nan. Even her tone had changed.

Li Zhaodi, who had seen Little Bei get a haircut with her own eyes, thought that Shao Nan had really come after Little Bei transformed. She thought that Little Bei and Shao Nan were playing a prank on her. She only confirmed that it was Little Bei after verifying it a few times.

Little Bei’s transformation had deeply shocked Li Zhaodi. Along the way, Li Zhaodi had looked at Little Bei with admiration in her eyes. For the first time, she understood what it meant to be a movie queen. “The movie queen is so amazing.”

Although she was certain that it was Little Bei, Li Zhaodi had still been a little restless on the way. She’d even wanted to touch to see if there was a little chili to confirm it.

It was Little Bei who had forcefully stopped her and guarded against her all the way, preventing that from happening.
