Chapter 15: Gone Dad
Chapter 15
"In the afternoon, dads and babies can freely decide what to do. We will gather here again in the evening," the village chief announced with a smile.
With the village chief\'s words, everyone instantly smiled. Several teenage boys had already started running to their fathers to go shopping.
So, ten minutes later, except for the Ji father and daughter, the other four families started the fun shopping mode in the village.
"Dad, sleepy~" Ji Ruochu said, rubbing her eyes.
"Sleepy?" Ji Mochen, who was prepared, took out a prepared milk bottle from his bag and handed it to Ji Ruochu with a laugh. "Then sleep, my little piggy Ruochu."
Little pig?
Ji Ruochu\'s hand holding the milk bottle paused. She pointed at Ji Mochen, "Big pig."
Ji Mochen, who had unintentionally called himself a pig: ...I messed up.
【Hahaha... My god, how can this father and daughter be so funny?】
【One little pig and one big pig. Have the father and daughter considered Madam Ling Chujin\'s feelings? 】
As soon as this barrage came out, Ji Ruochu, holding the pacifier, started to summarize. She pointed at herself, "Little pig."
She pointed at Ji Mochen again, "Big pig."
After thinking for a moment, she tilted her head and asked, "Mama pig?"
Ji Mochen: ...
"Wife, I\'m innocent." Ji Mochen looked at the camera, his face full of desire to survive.
At this time, the live stream was full of "Hahaha". It was very lively for a while.
At home, Ling Chujin, who had just become a mama pig: ...Very good, Ji Mochen. I\'ll deal with you when you come back.
When Ji Mochen came home holding his daughter, the little one was already holding the milk bottle, sleeping soundly with the scent of milk.
After looking at the surroundings, Ji Mochen started looking for the bedroom. He searched around before finding the master bedroom in the southeast. However, although he found it, he couldn\'t let the little one rest directly.
Because... there was dust everywhere.
Having no other choice, Ji Mochen first took out some clean clothes from his suitcase and went to the small courtyard to settle down first.
Fortunately, the yard was very nicely decorated. There was even a small rocking chair in the yard.
Ji Mochen gently put the little one down, found a pillow to pad it to prevent her from rolling off, and said, "Please help me keep an eye on her. I\'ll go tidy up the bedroom first."
Seeing this, the director team immediately arranged for another cameraman to come over. Ji Mochen\'s father and daughter live stream was instantly split into two screens.
Then, everyone saw Ji Mochen, who was a graceful young master just now, instantly turn into an emotionless cleaner.
That\'s not all. The online commentary even added BGM to the footage of the father and daughter\'s every move.
When Ji Mochen was washing and tidying up the room, Ji Ruochu was already snoring in her sleep.
When Ji Mochen was washing the floor in the room, then walking back and forth with a hair dryer and electric fan to speed up drying the room, Ji Ruochu turned over beautifully in her sleep, scaring the cameraman into thinking she was going to fall off the rocking chair. He almost went over to catch her.
When Ji Mochen busily wiped down the tables and chairs, Ji Ruochu was woken up by the afternoon sunlight shining on her face.
Creak—
The sound of the old rocking chair due to the little one\'s movement was like a wrecked ruin. Ji Mochen in the room paused, "Did Ruochu wake up?"
Without waiting for the crew to answer, he immediately went to the yard. He happened to see the little one with a strand of hair standing straight up, staring back at him with sleepy eyes.
The disoriented little one reached out her little hand to him. But before Ji Mochen got to her, she collapsed like cooked noodles back onto the soft cushion on the rocking chair and fell fast asleep again.
It seemed she had only woken up to check if her piggy dad was around.
【Ahhh... I\'m getting a nosebleed from being overwhelmed by cuteness!】
【How can there be such a cute daughter like Ruochu in the world?! I want to steal her!】
【To be honest, I came because of the hot search "Little Tan Ruochu". But now, I can only say there are too many rumors on the Internet. They\'re clearly just a happy father and daughter, and they don\'t look alike at all, just similar fox-like eyes.】
【Exactly! But thanks to these rumormongers, how else could we have seen such a cute little thing like Ruochu?】
...
The barrage was diverse, but it was all about the loving interaction between the Ji father and daughter.
Seeing this, Ji Mochen\'s agent Qin Ge breathed a sigh of relief, "Let\'s just leave it like this. Too much is as bad as not enough. As long as we don\'t get involved with Tan Yinghou and Mochen\'s scandalous news again."
His assistant nodded, indicating that he understood and could roughly confirm that this storm was just a stepping stone sent by their competitors.
Of course, even so, Qin Ge still asked the team to keep an eye on the live content at all times afterwards and notify him immediately if anything happened.
"But Qin Ge, isn\'t this a bit out of character for Brother Mochen?" The assistant asked. "After all, Brother Mochen\'s previous style was vicious tongue and straight talker, plus a cold personality. But now..."
"What\'s wrong with now?" Qin Ge laughed. "It\'s just right now. It\'s time for Mochen to change style too. Back then, he would go fishing for three days and sunbathe for two. He insisted on staying home to take care of his daughter despite our objections.
We thought he was almost ready to retire from the industry. Who would have thought Ruochu would bring Mochen prosperity. Don\'t worry. Just promote along this pace for the fans.
Mochen\'s fans are mostly adults with proper values now. Compared to male stars with endless scandals, they prefer the loving dad image. Look at Mochen\'s skilled baby-holding technique. Who can outshine him as a dad?"
The assistant, who listened from beginning to end: ...If I remember correctly, didn\'t you say Brother Mochen would just revolve around his daughter for life and had no future?
On the other side, upon seeing his daughter roll over and continue snoring, Ji Mochen couldn\'t help showing a doting smile.
He went over to pick up the little one. The floor he had just mopped was dry too. He gently placed Ji Ruochu on the bed, then turned around and started busying himself again.
He was very efficient. The only places left to clean were the kitchen and yard. By the time he picked up the rag and broom again, the barrage was full of praise for his skilled housework.
【I mean, Brother Chen\'s skilled technique shows that he does a lot of housework at home.】
【Ahhh! Is this the charm of mature men? Handsome, good with kids, and a great catch, right?!】
【Forget it. Such rare men still exist. I\'d rather skip over men and directly, painlessly get a little cutie like Ruochu!】
Time passed quickly amidst netizens\' teasing, Ji Mochen\'s busyness, and Ji Ruochu\'s deep sleep.
In the blink of an eye, it was 4:30 pm. Ji Mochen, who was about to wake up his daughter who had been sleeping for over an hour, received a task card from the director team.
"Now?" Ji Mochen looked worried after reading the task card. "But if she wakes up and doesn\'t see me, she\'ll be scared. Although our Ruochu is usually very strong, when she cries..."
The same worry existed in the other four families too. After all, around 3-4 pm was when the little ones had played hard and were napping. It was also an unfamiliar place for them.
But in the end, the five dads still left first according to the crew\'s requirements.
At this time, the barrage was also extremely worried. Needless to say, everyone was most worried about the youngest, little Ji Ruochu.
