The show had just started, and most of the parents were supportive of Du Chun. They were his loyal followers. However, due to the daily antics of Gu Xu and Xiaoxiao, they gained a large following! In fact, more people preferred watching Gu Xu raise his daughter. It couldn’t be helped.
The way they interacted was incredibly relaxed and gave people a carefree feeling. The father and daughter got along like friends, and their bond was very harmonious. Of course, another important reason was their constant humor, which made netizens laugh uncontrollably!
Because of the intense debate in the bullet screen just now, the three experts almost passed out from anger. They felt that the people supporting Gu Xu were simply unreasonable! How could anyone support such an unreliable father? It was hard to understand!
…
The scene shifted to 5 PM, where Du Chun was in the study room, accompanying his daughter, Dan Jiao, to practice calligraphy. Dan Jiao was sitting properly at the desk, holding the brush in a very standard and correct posture. Du Chun looked at her stance with satisfaction and nodded.
With a smile on his face, he introduced to the live stream, “Dan Jiao practices calligraphy for an hour every day! She’s been doing it for two full years now, without missing a single day. Although her writing is still somewhat basic, at her age, it’s already quite impressive!”
In the next second, the camera focused on Dan Jiao’s calligraphy! As Du Chun said, although her brushwork was somewhat immature, it was still remarkable!
The bullet screen was filled with compliments.
“Is this an angel baby? So well-behaved and cute!”
“Dan Jiao is really amazing!”
“My little one could learn from this!”
…
Du Chun’s gaze was fixed on the paper, but his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. His expression became more serious, and he scolded his daughter with displeasure, “How many times have I told you?”
“Why can’t you remember?”
“When you write calligraphy, you need to apply force when required.”
“When you don’t need to apply force, you must pull back!”
“You’re making no progress!”
“This is really disappointing!”
Dan Jiao lowered her little head, feeling deeply aggrieved. The more her father scolded, the worse her writing became. Her hand, holding the brush, trembled slightly.
Du Chun grew angrier as he watched. He slammed his palm hard on the desk.
“That’s enough! Stop writing!”
“You’re not making any progress!”
“You’re just getting worse!”
“You really disappoint me more and more!”
Du Chun’s voice rose, and he looked at his daughter, who remained silent. His heart was burning with anger. He waved his hand and swept everything off the desk. There was a loud crash as everything fell to the floor.
Dan Jiao stood frozen in place, staring at Du Chun. Her bright, clear eyes began to redden, and big tears started to fall.bOnce Du Chun finished venting his anger, Dan Jiao cautiously glanced at him.
She quietly picked up the paper and brush scattered on the floor and wiped up the ink with a cloth. After finishing all this, she nervously twisted her fingers and gathered all her courage to ask softly, “Daddy, can I take a break?”
“All the other kids play when they get home.”
“I practice calligraphy every day. Can I skip it for once?”
“I don’t like it…”
Her voice grew smaller, and her head sank even lower. Dan Jiao was in kindergarten. She didn’t have anything in common with the other kids. The games the classmates talked about, she had never played before. She couldn’t even understand them…
A few days ago, when she went to the kindergarten, she saw that many of the other kids had cute little toys hanging from their backpacks. They were so adorable!
But her backpack was bare, with nothing on it. She didn’t dare to ask for one. It wasn’t until today that she learned those toys were called “Dan Zai”!
She really wanted one!
But she didn’t dare to ask her father.
Because she knew that even if she asked, he wouldn’t buy it for her. And besides, her father would probably lecture her…
Thinking about all this made Dan Jiao even more upset and sad!
Du Chun noticed how careful and hesitant his daughter was, and his heart ached. He held her in his arms and gently patted her back.
With patience, Du Chun began to explain to her.
“I wasn’t trying to get angry on purpose.”
“It’s just that you’re still too young to understand what I’m doing…”
Dan Jiao’s body stiffened slightly. Because she knew that her dad was about to start another one of his long-winded speeches!
Sure enough, Du Chun’s next words were just as expected.
“Society is highly competitive now!”
“Everything I do is for your own good!”
“Dan Jiao, have you ever thought about this?”
“While you’re playing, there are many others who are working hard to study!”
“And in the future, the gap between you and them will only get bigger…”
Du Chun said this with a sense of emotion. Suddenly, he thought of his own current situation.
After adjusting his mood, he continued.
“Just like me and your mother.”
“We won’t be able to move forward in this lifetime.”
“Your mother and I will never harm you!”
“When you go to university, your mother and I won’t interfere with you anymore!”
“Time really passes quickly!”
“That little baby, who was once so tiny, has already grown this much without us even noticing!”
Du Chun felt a twinge of sadness in his heart. But there was more urgency. Society was becoming increasingly harsh. Only by working hard now could one have a future.
If you play now, you’ll be left behind by society later.
Just thinking about it made everything feel dark. Du Chun could not allow his daughter to become someone with no future. She had to study hard so that she would have more choices in the future!
Once Du Chun thought about all this, the look in his eyes became even more determined. He lowered his head slightly and seriously began to paint a bright future for Dan Jiao.
“Your dad isn’t lying to you, when you grow up…”
“Not only will you be able to eat snacks, but you’ll also be able to buy the toys you like.”
Dan Jiao’s eyes brightened as she looked at Du Chun.
“Really?”
“Dad, you’re not lying to me, right?”
Du Chun reassured her again that he wasn’t lying. Dan Jiao’s dejected mood disappeared in an instant. A smile once again blossomed on her face.
Although she didn’t know how long it would take to go to university, the thought of going to university made her excited. She could do whatever she wanted then!
She wouldn’t have to practice boring calligraphy anymore!
She could eat snacks happily!
She could buy the toys she liked!
Just thinking about it made her heart feel as sweet as honey.
She was so happy!
She really wanted to go to university sooner!
She couldn’t wait to grow up!
Once she grew up, she could finally do the things she really wanted to do!
