Gu Xu was speaking very seriously, with a stern face, saying, “It’s all for your own good.”
Xiaoxiao tilted her head, looking at him in confusion.
She blinked her eyes lightly and asked in bewilderment, “Dad, what are you talking about?”
“How is it for my own good?”
Xiaoxiao’s question echoed the thoughts of many people. Many viewers in front of the screen were also very curious. However, some viewers were completely baffled!
How dare Xiaoxiao question Gu Xu?
As for the speculations of the audience, Xiaoxiao was completely unaware. Xiaoxiao’s little face wrinkled in suspicion as she stared at Gu Xu.
“Dad, what you’re saying makes no sense!”
“You clearly woke up late!”
Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreement. Yes, the root cause was that Gu Xu himself woke up late. And now he was blaming Xiaoxiao for it?
Wasn’t this shameless?
Not to mention, on the way, Gu Xu drove the car very fast. The wheels were probably almost sparking!
And even then, they almost ended up being late. But now, from Gu Xu’s mouth, it was all for the kid’s good?
Faced with Xiaoxiao’s doubts, Gu Xu remained calm, smiling lightly.
“Hehe, you don’t understand, do you?”
“My dear daughter, there’s still so much for you to learn!”
“Your way of thinking is really too shallow!”
The expression on Gu Xu’s face was one of “You’re still too young, you don’t get it.”
“The reason I woke up late and drove so fast…”
“But I always follow traffic rules, so there’s no danger involved.”
“I’m actually training your mental resilience!”
Xiaoxiao thought for a few seconds before cautiously saying.
“So, should I thank you?”
Gu Xu chuckled and waved his hand, signaling her to calm down.
“Why the rush? I haven’t finished what I’m saying yet!”
Xiaoxiao nodded indifferently.
“Go on, go on. I’m listening…”
She had a look on her face like,
I can’t wait to hear what ridiculous excuse you’ll come up with.
Gu Xu cleared his throat lightly.
“Because daddy knows I will definitely not be late.”
“I’m just teaching you that whatever you do, you must learn to remain calm and composed.”
“So that you can face any crisis without changing your expression!”
“Over time, your mindset will become very stable!”
“You won’t let external events or things affect your mood.”
“Maintaining your inner peace is very important.”
Xiaoxiao looked at him, half understanding, half confused.
“Uh, okay, keep going with your story…”
Gu Xu glared at her with a slightly helpless expression.
“I’m teaching you life principles here!”
“Can you at least take me seriously?”
Xiaoxiao widened her big eyes and nodded.
Finally satisfied, Gu Xu continued.
“If daddy didn’t oversleep, wouldn’t that have taken away the opportunity to train your mental resilience?”
At this point, Gu Xu even gave a special glance at the camera crew. He spoke with deep seriousness.
“So, it’s not because I’m lazy that I overslept!”
“Everything I did was for the sake of training your mental resilience!”
“Isn’t that for your own good?”
Gu Xu nodded to himself, feeling pleased with his reasoning.
“Nowadays, there aren’t many responsible parents like me!”
After listening to this long-winded explanation, Xiaoxiao was completely stunned!
She stared blankly at him for several seconds. Finally, her brain caught up. Gu Xu was just making up excuses!
The little girl rolled her eyes in exasperation and said directly.
“Dad, you really have thick skin!”
“Thicker than a corner of the city wall by several times!”
“I’m already five and a half years old, not a two or three-year-old!”
“And you still think you can fool me with these ridiculous excuses?”
The more she spoke, the more irritated she became, with a tone of accusation.
“It’s obviously you who overslept!”
“And you’re making excuses, saying it’s to train my mental resilience?”
Xiaoxiao snorted.
With an expression as if she had seen through his true face, she continued.
“You and mom are both the same.”
“If I don’t wake you two up, you’d probably sleep until the afternoon!”
“Do you really think I’m that easy to deceive?”
Xiao Xiao, when talking about this, was full of complaints. She looked at Gu Xu with a gaze full of disappointment, like she was deeply frustrated with him. Angrily, she stomped her foot in place. Her eyes were full of accusations.
The barrage of comments flooded the screen. The comments section was filled with laughter.
“Hahaha! Xiao Xiao must have forgotten to drink the Meng Po soup, she’s too smart!”
“This kid’s expression is really too funny!”
“Xiao Xiao is really pitiful, stuck with these unreliable parents!”
“This is just too hilarious!”
“I’m laughing so hard my stomach hurts, I can’t handle it, so funny!”
“This couple is just perfect for each other!”
“Didn’t expect Yang Boss to be a pro at messing with kids!”
_____
In the studio!
He Laoshi and Wang Bingbing were laughing uncontrollably. It was only now that they realized. Gu Xu wasn’t teaching any big life lessons to the child!
He was purely passing the buck!
Yang Mi felt embarrassed hearing the exaggerated laughter around her. Her toes dug into the ground. In just a few minutes, she had dug herself into a hole. If there had been a crack in the floor, she would have definitely gone straight into it.
It was just too awkward!
It was like a public execution!
There wasn’t a single reliable person at home…
It was bad enough that her husband wasn’t reliable!
Now even Xiao Xiao was adding to the chaos. She couldn’t take it anymore!
…
The scene shifted back to the kindergarten entrance. Gu Xu was embarrassed as Xiao Xiao pointed out exactly what he was thinking.
He muttered under his breath.
“What a black-hearted broken cotton jacket this is?”
“In such a public place…”
“Doesn’t even know to leave his old man some face!”
Gu Xu ruffled Xiao Xiao’s hair and, in a grand gesture, said.
“Forget it! Forget it!”
“Dad won’t hold it against you, I won’t argue with you!”
“Go to school quickly!”
At the same time, the audience was curious. They wondered whether Gu Xu would do like Du Chun, and keep reminding his child to study hard, improve every day, and such.
The answer was revealed the next second. Gu Xu started giving Xiao Xiao instructions.
“Don’t forget what I told you!”
Xiao Xiao looked at him dazedly for a moment. Soon, she reacted and nodded in acknowledgment.
“Don’t worry, I got it!”
Gu Xu’s eyes lit up.
“Then tell me, what did I tell you?”
Xiao Xiao gently bit her lip, glanced quietly at the crew filming, and said somewhat awkwardly.
“But… but we’re live right now!”
“Dad, do you really want to say it?”
Gu Xu shrugged.
“Of course, there’s no lie about it! Quickly say it!”
Xiao Xiao helplessly sighed.
“The first request is to eat well and play well.”
“The food expenses are so expensive, we can’t just pay for nothing!”
“We must eat enough to get our money’s worth!”
Gu Xu nodded with satisfaction, signaling her to continue.
“The second is, if anyone bullies me, I must hit them back hard!”
“If someone hits me once, I’ll hit them twice!”
“If they hit me twice, I’ll hit them four times!”
“Basically, don’t bully others, but also never let others bully me.”
“Dad will always be my strong backup, unconditionally supporting me!”
Gu Xu was very pleased that she repeated everything he had said. He gave her a thumbs up, as if praising her.
“Truly, you’re my daughter!”
“You’re so smart!”
“A tiger father has no dog son, we don’t start trouble, but we definitely don’t fear it!”
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes so much it seemed like they might go up to the sky. She glared at him with frustration and muttered.
“It should be a tiger son has no dog father, right?”
Gu Xu was amused by her little, spoiled expression. He reached out to mess up her neat little braid.
“Little rascal, what are you saying?”
“I’m your dad, you need to respect me, understand?”
Xiao Xiao slapped his hand away. Taking two steps back, she looked at Gu Xu and said.
“Which dad acts like you?”
“I can’t even be bothered to talk to you!”
“You messed up my hair! So rude!”
The little one looked quite indignant!
Gu Xu quickly realized he had angered her and hurriedly smiled apologetically. He swiftly fixed her braid.
Seeing that time was almost up, Gu Xu became anxious.
“Oh no! Stop playing, it’s almost time for class!”
Xiao Xiao glared at him angrily.
“Who’s the one playing here?” She muttered to herself, and then quickly ran towards the kindergarten with her little backpack!
