Chapter 54 Zhao Zhao's emoji pack went viral

Fortunately, the clip of him "dancing wildly" while he was sleeping was not included.

It is said that it was originally intended to be broadcast, but Guo Hong eventually had a change of heart and showed it to Lu Yuan during the review process, and Lu Yuan immediately rejected it.

Broadcasting this would severely damage his image.

If the production team hadn't filmed it for him, he wouldn't have known that his condition while asleep was far more exaggerated than his teammates described.

Lu Yuan only knew that he was a restless sleeper, but he never expected the truth to be like this... Stupid.

Even Lu Yuan himself couldn't bear to look.

The program continued, and in the video, Lu Yuan handed the prepared formula to Lu Wenyan, asking him to go to the room to check on the baby.

The man quietly opened the door to the room and heard noises coming from the bathroom.

A little bundle of fluff in pajamas waddled out, looking like it hadn't woken up yet, yawning and rubbing its eyes as it walked.

【Oh, the baby is so cute!!】

[So cute, I just want to sit on it!]

[Sister in front, your idea is dangerous, absolutely not, but I'm not afraid, I'm willing to carry it out for you.]

[A two-year-old can already go to the toilet by himself? That's so reassuring!]

[No, there might have been editing, or maybe someone was in the bathroom, but the baby was indeed very well-behaved and cute.]

"Zhao Zhao!" Lu Wenyan exclaimed in surprise.

The little boy got confused halfway there, looking bewildered at Lu Wenyan's blank expression.

Later, a caption was added above the baby's head: "Where are you from?"

I have a guess: maybe the baby didn't recognize his dad?

[Hahaha, just look at Zhao Zhao's stunned expression, she definitely didn't react yet!]

[They probably do recognize you, right? Maybe they were just momentarily startled?]

In the video, Lu Wenyan rushes up and suddenly hugs the baby, starting to kiss him frantically. The baby in her arms is terrified and tries to push her away in strong resistance.

Finally, he even shouted "Help!"

"Third brother! Help!"

Hahahaha!

Let go of that kid! Let me handle this!

[Zhaozhao: Don't come any closer!!!]

[The baby's eyes are wide open, so cute and adorable!]

[My God, they've really forgotten their own father!]

[She even knew to call for help in a critical moment, hahaha, Zhao Zhao has a very strong sense of vigilance!]

The two men outside heard the noise and rushed over. When they saw what was happening, they were both stunned.

"Don't be afraid, Zhao Zhao, it's me, your dad!"

"Don't you recognize your father?"

At this point, a dotted circle indicating "caching" was added above the baby's head in post-production. The circle kept spinning, as if the brain was rebooting.

[Zhaozhao: Don't talk, I'm grilling!]

[Zhao Zhao: How could this strange uncle in front of me possibly be my dad?]

[Zhaozhao: Huh? I have a dad? Oh, I have a dad.]

[Sorry, this father and son are making me laugh so hard I'm dizzy! I can't take it anymore!]

During this period of silence, the two men who had arrived started chatting.

The camera deliberately gave a close-up shot.

"How did Dad turn into a wild man?" Lu Cheng asked Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan wore a helpless expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Later, they even dared to cut out Lu Wenyan's body and photoshop it onto a savage's body, with a cartoon character's angry tic-tac-toe symbol drawn on his head, and a line of text next to it: "Big guts! You're going to rebel!" and "Losing your status in the family."

The background music was changed to a light, funny, and lively tune, which, combined with the scene, made it very humorous and comical, maximizing the variety show effect.

[I can't laugh anymore! This guy is a savage! Hahaha! I never knew Director Lu was so entertaining on variety shows. Can't he do more variety shows?]

[No way! He's a famous director, busy making movies. He only appeared on camera because Lu Yuan was on the show, and he's Lu Yuan's father.]

Is this family always this funny? I strongly suggest they film their own family variety show; I'd definitely watch it!

[I'm so envious of Zhao Zhao! She has a brother who's an idol, a brother who's a professional e-sports player, a sister who's an actress, and a father who's a director with billions in revenue.]

Wow, now that you mention it, their family really does have... a powerful background!

After spending some time together, the little one finally recognized his father.

She drank the milk Lu Wenyan handed her, and after a few sips, she called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Daddy~"

【Hey! My dear son!】

"Oh, my sweet baby! Daddy loves you!"

You people are so mean, hahaha!

[I don't care, from today onwards, Zhao Zhao is also my electronic baby.]

[She's so well-behaved and gentle, a world apart from Zhong Wei's brat. And Zhao Zhao is even two or three years younger than her.]

[Although I don't want to put anyone down, it's really true, Zhao Zhao is so well-behaved that you can like her at first glance.]

During the show, Lu Wenyan asked Zhao Zhao to kiss him. The little one hesitated for a moment, but still gave him a big kiss.

[The baby is so honest; he could even bite Director Lu's stubble.]

[Zhao Zhao: What is this thing that pricks my mouth?]

[I'm just saying, can't I really borrow Director Lu's kid to play with for a couple of days?]

In that one second of the live chat, countless netizens felt like they were becoming parents without any pain. It was precisely because they didn't have such an obedient child that they envied Lu Wenyan's family even more.

*

In the Lu family group chat.

[Lu Qi]: Zhao Zhao is famous!

[Lu Yuan]: You're trending on Weibo?

[Lu Cheng]: I'll go take a look!

[Lu Xun]: No one could not love Zhao Zhao, right?

[Lu Wenyan]: Why did this program make me look so ugly?

[Yin Song]: Is it possible that you just looked really bad that day? [smiling emoji]

【Lu Wenyang】：……

[Lu Qi]: I saw a bunch of people online with sacks trying to steal the baby, hahaha!

[Lu Yuan]: Can't they have a little sense of boundaries?

[Lu Cheng]: I've saved a bunch of Zhao Zhao's emojis on Weibo, I'm sending them to you guys.

[Yin Song]: Come on! Post it and let me see!

...

Lu Yinzhao was taking a nap at the moment and had no idea what was going on online.

When I woke up and looked at my watch, I was completely dumbfounded.

Not long after this week's show aired, a lot of people online have already started using his emojis in chats.

Suddenly, even people who hadn't watched the show started looking into "who this baby is" because of the memes.

Although he doesn't have a Weibo account, but...

They have indeed inexplicably become active on everyone's social media.

Lu Yinzhao also saved some in the group and then sent them to Bian Ji.

【Zhaozhao】: [Baby scratching head.gif]

[Side note: Baby resting chin on hand.jpg]

Lu Yinzhao: ...

The expert had actually saved his expression beforehand! Looks like he'd also seen the news online.

The two chatted for a long time using "Zhao Zhao emojis".

After the initial excitement wore off, Lu Yinzhao sent a voice message to Bian Ji.

[Zhao Zhao]: "Brother Aji, when are you on summer vacation?"

[Bian Ji]: "Next month? What's wrong?"

[Zhaozhao]: "Dad said he'll take me to the water park when it gets a little warmer. Let's go together!"

[Bian Ji]: "Okay."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Lu Yinzhao put down his watch with satisfaction and climbed off the bed.

His family knows he loves playing in the water, and they made a promise with him a long time ago to take him to the children's water park in the summer.

Lu Yinzhao knew how to swim in her past life. Once, she secretly slipped away to swim in the river when the dean wasn't looking, but she was severely scolded when she came back.

The principal forbade all children from swimming in the river because some children had accidents at the riverbank.

Since then, Lu Yinzhao has never gone into the water again, and he hasn't been to the swimming pool much.

In the past, when his high school classmates invited him to go, he would just watch from the shore.

He was thrilled to have the opportunity and means to play in the water.

During the meal, Lu Yinzhao told Lu Wenyan about this matter.

Lu Wenyan laughed and said, "Zhaozhao, you're quite well-known now. I'm actually a little worried that if I take you out, you'll be surrounded by a bunch of people."

Lu Yinzhao also thought of this problem, "What should I do? I want to swim, I want to play in the water."

Lu Wenyan: "Don't worry, Dad will come and take a look... I'll help you contact a private water park."

Lu Wenyan has a wide network of connections. A friend's son happens to own a swimming pool that is only for children. It is equipped with relatively safe water entertainment facilities. Only wealthy and powerful families can go there. You need to have a VIP membership card to get in. It is relatively private.

"Thank you, Dad!" Lu Yinzhao said happily.

"You're welcome, my sweet baby!" Lu Wenyan replied, then added, "Daddy bought you an inflatable swimming pool. We'll go in and try it out in a bit. Daddy will teach you how to hold your breath."

Lu Wenyan does intend to teach Lu Yinzhao to swim properly, as this skill is quite necessary.

In fact, children learn this faster because they are lighter, have better buoyancy, more flexible joints, and better respiratory adaptability. These are all based on scientific evidence.

Children who are exposed to water from a young age are less likely to have a fear of water.

Seeing how much Zhaozhao loved playing in the water while taking a bath, Lu Wenyan figured it would be easy to teach her later.

"Okay, okay!" Lu Yinzhao was already a little impatient.

After finishing their meal, Lu Wenyan took the inflatable swimming pool to the yard. After starting the electric air pump, the originally deflated plastic film gradually expanded, eventually forming a square container about 5 meters by 5 meters.

After the water pipe was connected, the water level in the empty container rose little by little until it reached Lu Wenyan's thighs before stopping.

Lu Yinzhao stood outside, a donut-shaped swimming ring around her waist, arms raised, shouting, "Daddy! Daddy! Carry me inside!"

"Here he comes!" Lu Wenyan smiled and bent down to hug the little guy when he saw his son's eager look.

The moment Lu Yinzhao was put in, he felt the coolness of the water and quickly swayed back and forth like a small floating boat.

With a little effort from his two little feet, the water waves propelled the swimming ring forward.

With the help of his arm movements, Lu Yinzhao quickly adapted to the small swimming space.

"Hahahaha!" He kept circling around his dad, finding it extremely amusing.

Lu Wenyan observed Lu Yinzhao's movements and found that the little guy was quick to learn. After the little guy swam for a while, she took him out of the swimming ring.

"Zhaozhao, now Dad will slowly put you in the water. Relax, close your eyes, and hold your breath. If you really can't, pinch your nose and hold your breath for a while."

Lu Yinzhao nodded. "I understand, Dad. Let go."

Lu Wenyan dared not let go completely, and continued to hold the child, slowly lowering him down.

Until the little guy was submerged in the water.

He observed Lu Yinzhao's expression and, seeing that the other party was calm, a hint of admiration flashed through his mind.

This little guy is actually quite good at holding his breath.

Author's note: Years later, the surfers have changed again.

In the university group chat, when everyone unconsciously sent "Zhao Zhao emojis" (even though they had no idea who this kid was)...

Zhao Zhao: ...[splitting]

(The legend of the child still lingers in the martial arts world)
