As Xiao Xiao entered the kindergarten, the morning’s live broadcast came to an end!
After all, it was a parent-child show, and the cute kids were the main focus. The next broadcast would only be after the children finished school!
After the live stream ended, Yang Mi left the studio and headed straight to the rest room assigned by the production team.bOnce she closed the door, she immediately dialed Gu Xu’s number. Soon, his magnetic voice came through the receiver.
“Baby, are you missing me?”
Yang Mi’s lips curved slightly, a hint of hidden joy on her face. She teased him in a half-playful, half-complaining tone.
“Stop it with that act!”
“You’re really too unreliable! I told you in advance…”
There was a faint trace of reproach in her voice. Gu Xu replied casually, yet with a sense of helplessness.
“It’s fine.”
“Live broadcasts are meant to show the real side, right?”
“Look at how cute our Xiao Xiao is! She’s sure to be loved by all the viewers…”
Yang Mi was speechless, rolling her eyes.
“You really…”
Gu Xu interrupted with a lighthearted tone.
“Don’t worry! I wasn’t doing it on purpose today!”
“There was a reason for it.”
“I promise, when I pick up the little one from school, I won’t mess up!”
The more Yang Mi listened, the more uneasy she felt.
“You’re really saying this?”
“If anything goes wrong again, just wait until I get back! See how I deal with you!”
Gu Xu, with a mischievous tone, responded.
“Oh? Baby, how do you plan to deal with me?”
“Do you need me to take a bath first?”
Yang Mi blushed at his inappropriate words, slammed the phone down, and muttered to herself as she looked at the dim screen.
“Always so out of line…”

With the airing of the show and the start of the voting segment, the discussion on the internet went through the roof. The show quickly became a phenomenon. The reason for the huge buzz was the comparison between the 80s and 00s parenting styles!
Viewers across platforms were arguing fervently. Those who hadn’t known about the show before, after seeing it trending, rushed to find the live broadcast archives. Soon, the comments flooded the screen!
“Hahaha! Xiao Xiao really has it tough! Her dad is completely unreliable!”
“Gu Xu seems even more childish than Xiao Xiao!”
“I’m an insider, let me spill the tea—Gu Xu is at most three years old, no more!”
A string of “hahahas” followed.
This generation of netizens is savage!
“Isn’t it just not making breakfast in the morning? Going out for a meal, no need to make such a big deal out of it!”
“Honestly, Gu Xu is just too lazy! It’s unbearable to watch!”
“Du Chun’s over-the-top caring is really a bit much!”
“Gu Xu and Xiao Xiao are like a pair of wacky partners, they’re so fun!”
“Poor little Xiao Xiao, you deserve better! Gu Xu, get out, let me take care of the kids!”
When people saw Du Chun making Dan Jiao, they couldn’t help but feel sympathy. The most common comment in the barrage was.
“This is pure sacrificial parenting! It’s totally unnecessary!”
“How did the Dan Jiao end up so tragic, with such a suffocating dad?”
“What era is this? And yet they’re still making the atmosphere so stifling!”
“You can’t even feel the joy of the Dan Jiao, they’re so unfortunate!”
“Can we stop applying outdated parenting methods to today’s kids?”
“Give children a happy childhood, is that too much to ask?”
“Yes, exactly! Can we stop constantly emphasizing our sacrifices?”

As they said, those in the middle of things were confused, while outsiders could see clearly. From the comments, it was obvious that most people understand. Old-fashioned parenting methods had many flaws!
They really need to be improved. The reason for this phenomenon was simple. Most of these people grew up in a confined, oppressive environment…
Because when they entered society as adults, they realized that simply excelling in academics wasn’t enough!
Without resources or abilities, it doesn’t matter how good your grades are, it’s not that useful!
You not only need to know how to deal with people, but you also need emotional intelligence, IQ, and EQ!
Growing up with such pressure, it was better to let children enjoy a happy childhood!
They didn’t want their children to follow in their footsteps. Because of this, many people strongly agreed with Gu Xu’s actions, especially when it came to the issue of children being bullied.
The way the two parents handled the situation was completely different, which led more people to support Gu Xu. This was clearly reflected in the bullet comments on the screen!
“Dan Jiao is so pitiful! She was clearly bullied, but Du Chun still made her reflect and then scolded her…”
“Let me tell you about myself. Ever since I had a daughter, if you dare to bully her, I’ll bully whoever does it!”
“Don’t you think Du Chun’s approach is really ridiculous?”
“Endlessly tolerating will only make the bully more rampant!”
“Honestly, I was speechless watching Du Chun’s way of educating her…”
“When I was a kid, my dad was like Du Chun, always trying to make peace.”
“When I was bullied, I would get scolded instead. It really made me super insecure as a child…”
“My heart hurts for Dan Jiao. Didn’t you notice that she was crying from being wronged?”
“I support Gu Xu a thousand times. If your child gets hit, hit back!”
“Brothers and sisters, has the voting channel opened? Quick, go vote!”
…
Various comments were rapidly spreading online. Due to the high level of discussion, the show’s voting numbers were skyrocketing. The number of voters was increasing fast. The staff of the program were shocked when they saw the backstage data and couldn’t recover for a while. Everyone had the same thought.
The show was a huge hit!
In fact, it exploded big time!
It was a celebration!
By the time the show aired in the afternoon, 8 million people had already participated in the vote!
Of which 80% supported Gu Xu.
When they saw this data, the originally confident Zhang Tai Tai and the education experts were completely stunned. They couldn’t believe their eyes!
According to their expectations, it should have been a sure win. But the slap to their face came so unexpectedly!
They had originally planned to criticize Gu Xu harshly, but those plans were shattered. One invisible slap after another seemed to hit their faces.
Slap, slap, slap!
Seeing that only 20% supported them, the education experts were collectively frustrated, unable to figure out what had gone wrong.
Why was this happening?
Seeing the voting results, Yang Mi and Wang Bingbing were overjoyed!
They smiled lightly.
To be honest, Yang Mi was equally shocked and puzzled when she saw the results in person. She never imagined that so many people would support her husband!
It was truly unbelievable!
As the show began airing, a huge influx of viewers entered the livestream. The bullet comments scrolled rapidly, one after another.
“The show has started, yay! So excited! Throwing flowers…”
“I’m here just to watch Gu Xu and his daughter, their group is so funny!”
“I never expected that watching a kids’ variety show would bring me so much gossip about Yang Boss.”
“I’m also here to see what other shocking gossip I can get! Slurp~ ”
“Hehe! The education experts’ faces must be red from being slapped!”
“Yeah! The education experts broke down when they saw the voting data…”
“Education experts: Who am I? Where am I? Why did this happen?”

Just a few minutes into the broadcast, the number of online viewers surpassed one million. This data was truly amazing!
Looking at the rapidly scrolling bullet comments and the huge number of viewers, it was clear to everyone that this kids’ variety show had completely exploded!
Perhaps by the end of today’s livestream, it would even make it to several trending topics. The program staff were absolutely thrilled. They could barely contain their excitement!
With such high levels of attention and discussion, it was bound to attract more attention and traffic. Just thinking about it was so exciting!
And seeing the content in the bullet comments, it was clear that most viewers were watching because of Gu Xu!
As the host, He Laoshi stepped onto the stage with a big smile.
“Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the ‘Cute Kids’ show!”
“Get ready to witness the kids’ daily life and some amazing moments!”
“Are you ready?”
After He Laoshi’s opening speech, the screen quickly switched to Du Chun’s segment.
