[No, that’s not right. Chu Mingwan has already been erased from the Chu family and abandoned, so how can he still afford to live in such a huge villa?]
[This is a little hard to judge. Could the high-and-mighty Young Master Chu have hooked up with some rich sugar daddy?]
[So the cub just now could also be the child of the rich sugar daddy that Chu Mingwan hooked up with?]
[Everyone’s guesses are so logical and well-founded that I’ve already started believing them. What kind of morally corrupt male celebrity is Chu Mingwan? I’m about to be disgusted sick.]
The livestream bullet comments were in an uproar. After Zhang Bai greeted the butler, he had already walked toward the second floor together with the cameraman.
A live broadcast wanted realism. Since they had already signed the contract, there was no room at all for acting spoiled.
The bullet comments were also constantly urging the cameraman to hurry to the second floor, and before long, they had already reached the doorway of Chu Mingwan’s room.
Maybe when Mumu ran into little dad’s room, he was too nervous and did not have time to close the door tightly. Zhang Bai only raised his hand and knocked lightly twice, and the door automatically opened a crack.
Just after waking up and getting a fright from the cameraman downstairs, when Mumu little cub flailed his short little legs and ran into little dad’s room, little dad was still curled up under the blanket, sleeping soundly. The cub only hesitated for a tiny moment, then kicked off the little slippers on his feet and climbed onto little dad’s bed.
When the camera pointed over, Chu Mingwan was just facing the doorway, still holding a not-too-big, not-too-small towel bear in his arms. The bear’s light brown ears had already been rubbed out of shape by him.
Mumu little cub quietly took the bear out of little dad’s arms, then carefully placed it on the other side of the pillow. Only after finishing these little movements did he happily curl into little dad’s arms.
It was about the time Chu Mingwan usually got up. Just as the little cub had curled into the blanket, he dazedly stretched out an arm and pulled the cub tightly into his embrace. “Ah, our Mumu got up very early today too!”
Mumu was a little clingy as he kissed and snuggled close to little dad. Thinking of the strange cameraman downstairs, the cub reached out and tugged at the matching frog pajamas on little dad’s body. “Little dad, two people we don’t know came to our house!”
Chu Mingwan pressed his head against the cub’s little belly and rubbed back and forth, causing Mumu’s originally soft, babyish speaking voice to instantly turn into giggles.
Just at that moment, Zhang Bai outside raised his hand and knocked on the door again. “Teacher Xiao Chu, can we come in?”
Chu Mingwan immediately came back to himself. He lowered his head to look at the cub who kept shrinking into his arms, then looked at the door that had been opened a crack. “Cub, did you hear something? Did a thief come into our house?”
“No, it’s just an uncle I don’t know carrying a big black lump.” Mumu little cub raised his hand and gestured the shape of the camera. That kind of large camera, the little cub had only seen once before when taking promotional photos.
As soon as he heard that, Chu Mingwan reacted. He lifted his head and looked toward the doorway with a resentful expression. The production team really was inhuman, how could they be this scheming? Holding the obedient cub in his arms, he rubbed him again, and the resentment in his heart toward the production team was instantly healed a lot. “You may, come in!”
Just now, through the crack in the door, the camera had also vaguely captured some of the father-son interaction. But after the door was opened, what it recorded became even clearer.
What came into view was the father and son pair wearing matching frog pajamas. The little cub was probably still a little nervous. When the cameraman and Zhang Bai entered the room, he quietly shrank a little farther into little dad’s arms, trying to curl himself into a tiny ball.
Faced with Chu Mingwan’s beautiful face full of resentment, Zhang Bai explained without any guilt, “In the spirit of a friendly and considerate code of conduct, the production team decided to bring everyone to the hotel near the filming location one day early.”
“Do you think I believe you?” Chu Mingwan hugged Mumu and sighed. Sure enough, wanting to travel while getting paid was not an easy thing.
Next, Chu Mingwan had to go to the bathroom to wash up, and it naturally was not appropriate to film that into the livestream room, so the camera turned to the room’s furnishings.
During this more than a month, Chu Mingwan had gotten rid of the original owner’s things that clearly did not fit his taste. However, he kept most of the clothes. Exaggerated taste was exaggerated taste, anyway he saved the money he would have spent on buying new clothes.
Even so, when the camera swept across the walk-in closet, the netizens in the livestream room still keenly spotted the highlight:
[Wanted to say this just now. The frog pajamas on Chu Mingwan and the cub seem so comfortable, they’re just a little ugly-cute, but I didn’t expect his taste to be even uglier-cuter!]
[Hahahahaha, I’m really going to laugh myself to death. Cameraman, don’t leave, let me take one more look at all those weird pajamas in the walk-in closet.]
[In just that one glance, I saw cucumber pajamas, dog pajamas, big yellow duck pajamas, bat pajamas… I mean, could it be that Chu Mingwan also prepared matching ones for his cub?]
[No way, they’re simply so ugly they blind my eyes. Chu Mingwan’s taste used to be a little cyberpunk, but at least it was normal. So he’s actually a funny guy in private!!]
[Are they really that ugly? Why do I think they’re actually kind of cute? Please give me the same ones, hurry up and put the link up.]
[The whole walk-in closet, everyday clothes and pajamas are basically at opposite ends of the aesthetic spectrum. Is Chu Mingwan creating some kind of quirky new persona?]
[So I’m still very confused. Why exactly can Chu Mingwan afford to live in a huge villa? Could the Chu family have softened in private after all!]
[No way, then how wronged would our Brother Xiayun be? Chu Mingwan, hurry up and get lost!]
Aside from the netizens’ complaints about those bizarre pajamas just now, the bullet comments in the livestream room were still more filled with arguments and insults aimed at Chu Mingwan.
Before long, Chu Mingwan came out of the bathroom holding Mumu’s hand. There were still water droplets on his face that he had not wiped dry, making him look even cleaner and more beautiful.
There are very few adult men who can still be described as beautiful, but Chu Mingwan’s face was truly a top-tier masterpiece personally sculpted by the goddess Nuwa. That kind of beauty was clean, pure, and utterly natural, without the slightest trace of affectation.
Mumu had also washed his face again. His originally somewhat small and thin face had become a little rounder recently, and with a few damp little curls on his forehead, he looked even cuter and more adorably dazed.
The timid Mumu little cub stayed tightly beside little dad, but his pair of round big eyes would from time to time land on the pitch-black camera, like a timid little hamster poking its head out to look around.
The cub’s Moon Room had its own little walk-in closet. Chu Mingwan casually changed into a T-shirt and sports pants, then took the little cub with him to the Moon Room.
After filming the promotional video last time, Chu Mingwan bought the little cub a pile of cute little clothes. Unlike those ugly-cute pajamas, the various clothing sets were genuinely, undeniably cute.
Today Mumu little cub chose a white T-shirt just like little dad’s, with a blue pair of overalls themed after a little sheep worn on the outside. Hanging on the chest was a snow-white plush little sheep, and the cub would lower his head from time to time to pinch it.
After the father and son finished breakfast, Zhang Bai finally spoke up to announce today’s first task. “Because this is only a warm-up livestream, Teacher Xiao Chu and Mumu baby’s task is to pack each other’s suitcases.”
Looking at Zhang Bai with a complicated expression, as soon as Chu Mingwan opened his mouth, it was full of disdain. “Sweetie, take another careful look. My good cub is not even four years old yet, not fourteen years old.”
“All explanations are the responsibility of the production team.” Under Chu Mingwan’s resentful gaze, Zhang Bai cleared his throat innocently. “Ahem, if you have any problems, go find Director Fan. Us workers are all innocent.”
“I’d believe you if I were a ghost.” Chu Mingwan curled his lip in disgust. When he lowered his head to look at Mumu little cub, his face was again full of trust. “Good cub, later Dad will give you a big suitcase. You help Dad prepare some things we usually use, okay?”
Watching the way Chu Mingwan patiently coaxed the child, Zhang Bai cleared his throat again. “Teacher Xiao Chu, prompting the baby counts as cheating. You can go help the baby prepare things.”
Looking up at Zhang Bai again with an expressionless face, amid the chaos of the livestream bullet comments, Chu Mingwan suddenly raised his hand and made a slide-to-kneel gesture. “I reasonably suspect that your production team is changing the rules on the spot to make things difficult for the guests.”
Mumu little cub, who was pressed close beside little dad, looked at little dad’s disgusted expression, then looked at the unfamiliar uncle across from them. His little hands clenched tightly into fists. That bad uncle was definitely bullying little dad.
When little dad pulled him toward the walk-in closet, Mumu little cub hesitated for a very long time. In the end, he gathered his courage and turned back to look at Zhang Bai once, then mustered all his bravery and poked his nose with one hand, making a “fierce” little pig face at Zhang Bai.
The little cub, who thought he was super fierce and super impressive, before Zhang Bai could react, pulled little dad and quickly ran into the dressing room.
[Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. How can this little cub be this, this cute!]
[That little pig face that thinks it’s super fierce is actually super, super cute.]
[This accompanying staff member is also hilarious, anyway I’m just an ordinary worker, and whenever there’s blame, just shove it onto the boss.]
[Hahahahaha, Chu Mingwan being a funny guy is confirmed. They always say his temper is bad and he’s irritable, I even thought he was about to hit someone just now, but then he only made a slide-to-kneel gesture!]
[So Chu Mingwan has switched PR now, to build a new persona? Dog head to save my life.jpg]
[Seriously, I have no words. The internet really has no memory. Maybe new netizens coming in will get fooled by his fake facade.]
[The production team openly protects a male celebrity with low morals. I’m out, I’m out. Even after the show officially starts, it probably still won’t be worth watching.]
Out of every ten bullet comments in the livestream room, eight were attacking Chu Mingwan. Zhang Bai spared a glance at the backend data and could not help shivering. Sure enough, people should not do bad things, look at this retribution!
However, the livestream still had to continue normally. Zhang Bai sent a message to the backstage staff, and after the bullet comments were filtered, they finally looked much better.
After all, this was a kids’ variety show, and the children were the important focus. So after the production team brought out one large and one small suitcase, they shifted the filming focus onto the little cub.
Mumu little cub was forced to stay together with the unfamiliar cameraman uncle. Even though little dad had already comforted him for a long time, the fear in his heart still would not go away.
His soft little hands nervously gripped the handle on the side of the suitcase. Mumu little cub suddenly realized that little dad’s suitcase was very, very big. The cub blinked his watery big eyes, quietly moved one step to the side, then another, until he had hidden himself entirely behind the suitcase.
However, the cameraman was tall and broad, and when he held up the camera, he happened to capture this scene clearly. The tiny little cub hid himself behind the life-sized suitcase, and from time to time he would even rise onto his tiptoes to secretly observe the cameraman.
[Production team, I advise you to be sensible. Today I’m going to get my fix from this cub, and if I can’t, I won’t have any energy all day~~~]
[The shy cub is hiding behind the suitcase and secretly observing the cameraman, how can he be this cute!]
[Cub, hurry up and tell Auntie what color sack you like, I’ll buy one immediately and come pick you up.]
[Everyone on the cub-stealing team upstairs, count me in. Auntie’s house has every color of sack, too!]
[Heh, all of you should stop dreaming. This is my cub. Just now the cub even called me Mom!]
[No, sister, you’re really brave. You can even like a morally bankrupt one like Chu Mingwan?]
[Heh, if you ate a few more peanuts, you wouldn’t be this drunk. This clearly is… my cub, okay!!!]
