Chapter 4,Part 2: Father and Daughter Meeting - Hello, Dad
After Chen Yu and the others left, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, the ‘father and daughter’ pair, were left alone in the room, staring at each other.
At this moment, Lin Momo was still standing motionless at her previous position, holding her plastic bag firmly in her arms.
Lin Cheng looked at Lin Momo for a few seconds, and finally his gaze fell on her bare feet—at this moment, the girl didn’t wear any shoes and only had on a pair of socks to step on the floor. He didn’t know whether it was because the floor was cold or because she was afraid of getting her feet dirty, but she had one foot on top of the other
Seeing Lin Cheng looking at her feet, Lin Momo shrank her toes in response—contrary to what Lin Cheng was thinking, the reason was that she didn’t want the other party to see the small holes in her socks.
“My socks are not dirty,” Lin Momo felt compelled to explain.
When the adults were talking just now, Lin Momo secretly peeked around the house. It was very big. The living room alone was bigger than her classroom at school, and the house was very tidy, which shows the owner’s love for cleanliness.
She didn’t want the other party to dislike her.
These are clean socks she just changed into before she came here.
It’s just…. just not clean-looking.
Hearing Lin Momo’s words, Lin Cheng: “…”
“I want you to put on your slippers.”
Lin Momo was stunned, “Ah? Oh, okay.”
After two seconds, seeing that Lin Momo hadn’t moved, Lin Cheng asked again, “Any questions?
” Yes….” After a pause, Lin Momo asked in a low voice, “Which pair of slippers do I wear?”
Lin Cheng glanced around the house, only to realize that there were indeed no slippers for Lin Momo to wear at home, except for the ones Chen Yu and his group brought as props that were deliberately placed by the doorway.
“That pair,” Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo, pointing to the pair of prop slippers by the door.
Lin Momo ran to put on said slippers as instructed.
It’s only that… the size of the prop slippers was several sizes smaller than Lin Momo’s feet.
Lin Momo: “….”
Lin Cheng: “….”
At this moment, a phone call broke the mutual embarrassment of the ‘father and daughter’.
Looking at the caller ID, Lin Cheng’s eyes were slightly cold, and he said “wait a moment” to Lin Momo, then got up and went to the study to answer the call.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Cheng began to deal with business.
When he finally finished his work and remembered that there was Lin Momo at home, it was already two o’clock in the morning!
Fortunately, the child was not stupid, and had already packed up and went to sleep in the room temporarily arranged for her.
Thinking of the information sheet Chen Yu gave him before, Lin Cheng read through it, but threw it aside soon enough.
This list of information—except for the name ‘Lin Momo’ which is her own—the age, personality, likes to sing and draw, likes Elsa, doesn’t like carrots… These are all probably made up by Chen Yu and the others to be used in the show
……
Separated by a wall.
Lin Momo was lying in a completely unfamiliar room, suffering from insomnia for the first time in her young life.
It’s just that the confusion and fear of the unknown failed to overcome the drowsiness. Later, Lin Momo finally fell asleep in a daze. After she fell asleep, her consciousness gradually fell into a familiar but very strange dream.
In the dream, she also participated in the recording of [Living with Dad] with Lin Cheng.
But because she was too nervous, she messed up the filming of the pilot episode.
Lin Momo’s dream soon moved to what happened after the show was broadcast.
The program [Living with Dad] became popular all over the Internet in just one week of airing.
The male celebrity who has retired for many years brought his daughter to the show. Because of the super good looks of the father and daughter, and their intimate and loving interactions in the show, after the first episode of the show was broadcast, the father and daughter gained a lot of fans from the audience. The celebrity dad became popular again because of this.
The actor who, for years, has only been playing the male supporting roles in film and television dramas, brought his son on the show. Because he is good at taking care of children and has rich life experiences, he was awarded the title of ‘the best dad’ by the audience and now has countless fans.
An up-and-coming ‘little fresh meat’ who acted as ‘substitute dad’ became a hot search topic because of his unfamiliar baby-rearing mode and funny and awkward chats with his ‘daughter’. After that, variety shows and film and television resources were thrown his way, and he continued to become even more popular.
Even the spoiled child from a wealthy family who was initially disliked by the audience because of his disrespectful attitude, wasting of money, and need for pampering—later on he was gradually accepted by the audience because of his amazing way with words and his open and true nature of spending money like water, and was eventually turned into an emoji boy. His words were jokingly dubbed by fans as ‘trench language’ and edited into a video collection.
Only the last team, that is, Lin Momo and Lin Cheng’s team, the father and daughter had almost no communication during the show, and the interaction seemed extremely boring.
In the beginning, the audience just felt that this team had no sense of presence. Later, more and more voices disliked them on the Internet.
Even in her dream, Lin Momo could see a screen full of accusations and abuse about them.
[That’s it? what the hell.]
[This father doesn’t know how to take care of a baby at all. I feel that he is not very good as a dad. ]
[The daughter is not cute, and the father has no fatherly love. This is definitely the most embarrassing father-daughter pair I have ever seen. ]
[It’s so embarrassing! I’m so embarrassed that I can almost pick out the Eiffel Tower. ]
[To be honest, it’s better for children to be innocent and lively. People like Lin Momo are really unpleasant. ]
[I don’t like Lin Momo either.]
[At such a young age, with such deep thoughts, it’s disgusting to be so evil. ]
[Hate Lin Momo +1. ]
[I feel like this team is here to make up the numbers. ]
[It’s a waste of time, it’s better to broadcast more about our family. ]
[I don’t want to see this father and daughter at all—I will write in blood, asking for Lin Cheng father and daughter to go offline. ]
[Lin Cheng and Lin Momo fuck off! ]
……
The insults gradually turned into curses.
In the dream, Lin Momo eagerly wanted to know if there would be a turning point in all of this later, if everyone would slowly begin to accept her and start liking her, like the way they didn’t like that spoiled brat at first but then gradually accepted him.
However, before Lin Momo could continue looking, the dream came to an abrupt end.
Just when she saw a big [Go to hell!], in that instant, Lin Momo woke up from her sleep.
T/N: From translating, I learned what being ‘King of Europeans’ mean, or being an ‘African’, or even going to ‘Versailles’—but I cant figure out what seeing ‘Eiffel Tower’ means (???;)
