Two updates in one

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Li Yubai came to the police station carrying Jiaojiao. As soon as he entered the door, two policemen, a man and a woman, came forward to greet him. They first glanced at Li Yubai before turning their attention to the child in his arms.

What a cute child!

This was the first thought that came to policewoman Li Li's mind when she saw the child in front of her.

Her hair is jet black and fluffy, her eyelashes are long and thick, her skin is porcelain white, and her red mouth is slightly pursed under her delicate little nose. Her dark and clean eyes are full of curiosity and ignorance.

It was the first time that Li Li saw such a fair, tender and cute child, and her heart softened immediately.

It is unlikely that such a beautiful and cute child would be abandoned, so it is likely that she got lost.

Thinking of this, Li Li walked forward and extended her hand to Jiaojiao with a very friendly smile on her face: "Come here, little boy, let auntie hug you."

Zhao Wu, the male police officer who came out with Li Li, shuddered when he heard the sudden softening of the woman's voice. He looked at Li Li with his eyes tilted as if he was looking at something strange.

Li Li noticed his gaze and secretly glanced at him, then looked at the soft and tender child in front of her with a smile and expectation on her face.

Although Jiaojiao, who was lying in her father's arms, did not understand what her aunt said, she understood what Li Li meant from the way she stretched out her hand.

Jiaojiao clutched her father's clothes tightly in her little hands, pursed her lips, shook her head, and said haltingly, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao Daddy."

Seeing him refuse, the policewoman withdrew her hand with a bit of regret, then looked at Li Yubai and said, "Go in first!"

Li Yubai nodded, holding Jiaojiao and followed them inside.

After initially understanding the child’s basic information, the police began a series of investigations.

Since facial recognition could not identify Jiaojiao's identity, they used other police means to search on the platform. At the same time, they retrieved surveillance footage from the area around the child's location and took a photo of Jiaojiao, which they sent to the surrounding neighborhood committee groups, urban district groups, and kindergarten teacher groups to ask if anyone knew the child.

While the police were investigating in full swing, Li Yubai was squatting on the ground, carefully feeling from Jiaojiao's thigh bone to her calf bone.

Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the ground, looked up at her father. After seeing her father touch her leg, she quickly raised the other leg.

Seeing this, Li Yubai paused his movements, raised his eyes and met the child's dark and ignorant eyes mixed with full of love.

His expression froze, and he subconsciously raised his hand to shield the child's eyes from staring straight at him. A hint of doubt lingered in his cold voice, "Why are you staring at me?"

Jiaojiao blinked with her eyes covered, and her long eyelashes made Li Yubai's palms itchy.

Thinking her father was playing with her, Jiaojiao tilted her head and poked it out from under her father's palm. She looked at him with a smile and said softly, "Dad."

Li Yubai withdrew his hand without responding to his call of "Dad", lowered his head to look at his tilted little head, and couldn't help but reach out and poke his soft and fair cheek.

Li Yubai couldn't say he was in a happy mood right now. Instead, he felt a little depressed for some unknown reason.

This feeling of suffocation suddenly came over him when he put the child down and found that the child could not walk.

Jiaojiao blinked when his cheek was poked. Thinking that his father liked to poke his face, Jiaojiao sat up and moved forward, then tilted his head and put his face on his father's open hand for his father to poke.

Li Yubai's eyes flashed as he inexplicably understood what he meant. He moved his hand slightly and touched his soft face.

Jiaojiao, who was being held, hugged her father's hand with her backhand, rubbed her face against it with a smile on her face.

Li Yubai let him rub his hand and bent down to check the condition of his other leg. After confirming that there was no obvious abnormality in the bones of both legs, he planned to let the child stand up and walk a few steps to try.

When Jiaojiao stood up with the help of his hand and took two shaky steps without showing any discomfort, Li Yubai's face became noticeably gloomy.

He suppressed the inexplicable displeasure that rose in his heart, carefully controlled the strength to hold the small and soft hand in his hand, and guided the child forward step by step.

Jiaojiao, with her father holding her hand, pursed her lips happily and staggered forward seriously with her short legs.

We walked for about fifteen minutes, stopping and resting.

Li Li, a female police officer who had been paying attention to this side, took in the whole scene and was very surprised at Li Yubai's patience.

You have to remember that because the child was so small and Li Yubai was quite tall, he had to squat and step backwards while holding the child's hand. This movement might seem innocuous at first, and it would be fine for a minute or two, but after five minutes, most people's legs would start to feel numb and swollen.

I didn't expect that such a cold and difficult-going person would have such patience when facing a child who has no blood relationship with him.

Because of this, Li Li became suspicious of the overwhelming negative information on the Internet.

Li Yubai, who had no idea of ​​Li Li's inner thoughts, let go of Jiaojiao's hand after Jiaojiao could barely take a few steps.

He gestured to Jiaojiao to stand still and then stepped back.

After retreating to a satisfactory distance, Li Yubai squatted down and opened his arms to the child who was standing there looking at him blankly, motioning him to come over.

Seeing this, Jiaojiao, who was a little confused and uneasy after seeing her father leave, immediately ran over with her short legs.

Jiaojiao, who was already staggering, felt like she was going to fall at any moment as she ran. The policemen who were watching this scene quietly from the side were all nervous. Li Yubai even tensed his leg muscles, ready to rush out at any time.

Fortunately, although Jiaojiao ran scary, she never fell down. She stumbled up and bumped into Li Yubai's arms.

Li Yubai subconsciously hugged the extremely small body in his arms.

Jiaojiao buried her head in her father's arms and rubbed it like a spoiled child. Then she raised her furry little head and called softly, "Daddy."

The bright white light in the hall fell into the bright, dark and clean eyes. Li Yubai, who lowered his eyes to look at him, found that these eyes, which looked like fallen stars, were filled with his figure.

At that moment, Li Yubai felt as if there was some invisible presence that bumped into his heart very lightly, just like a child just bumped into his arms.

Time passed little by little, and around 9:30 there was still no information about the child's identity and family.

Li Yubai, who was sitting beside holding Jiaojiao and waiting for news, heard the even breathing coming from his arms and looked down, only to find that the child in his arms had fallen asleep at some point.

The child was sleeping soundly. His fair and tender face was pressed against his chest, causing his mouth to open slightly. His fluffy black hair was scattered on his forehead, and his long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows on his eyelids.

Li Yubai glanced at the child's little hands that were still tightly clutching his clothes while he was sleeping. He reached into his pocket, took out his cell phone, sent a text message, and then put the phone back into his pocket.

Time passed quickly as the police came in and out, and when early morning came, there was still no news.

Li Yubai waited until four in the morning, realizing he would miss his flight to Jiangcheng. After much deliberation, he handed the child to the policewoman who had been accompanying him.

During the transfer, Jiaojiao's little hands kept tightly grasping his clothes. Afraid of waking him up, Li Yubai simply took off his coat, wrapped him up and put him in the policewoman's arms before leaving in a hurry.

On the way to the airport, Li Yubai felt inexplicably empty in his arms and was thinking about the child named Jiaojiao.

He did have something he had to go to Jiangcheng to handle in person. The plane ticket was booked two days ago, and it was not impossible to postpone it for two days. However, he knew in his heart that whether the child named Jiaojiao was lost accidentally or abandoned on purpose, it was not his turn to worry about it.

Given his current financial situation and his own troubles, he is powerless even if he wants to adopt.

Moreover, given his lack of emotional intelligence, he is not suitable for raising children.

What's more, he is in trouble now. Even if the child can really follow him, it is not the best solution.

So it is better to leave as soon as possible, so as to avoid developing feelings, and the children will be very sad when you part.

Not long after Li Yubai left, Jiaojiao, who was originally sleeping soundly, woke up.

The policewoman holding him looked as if she was facing a great enemy, afraid that he would cry when he woke up.

But then the policewoman discovered that the child named Jiaojiao not only did not cry but was very well behaved.

After waking up, Jiaojiao turned her little head and looked around. When she didn't see her father, she got down from the policewoman's arms and almost fell down after taking two shaky steps.

The policewoman supported him in time, squatted down and asked, "Where are you going, kid?"

Jiaojiao, who didn't understand, tilted her head and pointed to the door with her little hand: "Ah, Dad."

"Your father left first because of something. Let's wait for him to come back, okay?" The policewoman coaxed softly.

Jiaojiao, who still didn't understand, stretched out her little hand, held the policewoman's fingers, and was about to walk out staggeringly with her.

The policewoman, heartbroken by the cuteness, subconsciously stood up and followed him out, but she found that the child stopped at the door.

Jiaojiao walked to the door, let go of the policewoman's hand, squatted at the door with her big, dark and clear eyes open, and waited quietly and obediently for her father who had left for something to come back.

On the second day of Li Yubai's stay in Jiangcheng, he received a call from the police station, saying that they could not find any information about the child and had sent the child to an orphanage.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yubai stared at the peach tree outside for a long time.

When he came to his senses, he felt surprised. He was very surprised why he cared so much about a child whom he had only known for a short time.

After staying in Jiangcheng for about three days, Li Yubai set off back to the capital.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, and a man at the table gracefully ate a bowl of instant noodles. Honestly, this was the first time Li Yubai had ever eaten instant noodles; in his previous life, instant noodles were completely foreign to him.

Originally, he had a small amount of money that could last him half a month, but after buying a lot of milk powder suitable for two-year-old children and donating it to the welfare home, that little money was gone.

The little money he earned from his part-time job would not be paid for another half month, so for now he could only make do with instant noodles, but the taste of these instant noodles was not as bad as he had imagined.

Li Yubai thought expressionlessly while eating instant noodles.

After eating instant noodles for three consecutive days, Li Yubai took on a variety show, a very alternative one, but one that stood out among many variety shows and many children's variety shows.

The name of this variety show is [Please accept your cub from the future]

If your future baby accidentally crossed the river of time and space and came to you, would you be able to take good care of the baby while you are still young?

The main purpose of this variety show is to let some celebrities who are not married yet, or who have just gotten married and don’t have children, become parents of children.

The main theme presents to the audience a series of dramatic and hilarious daily raising routines in which strange fathers and sons, and strange mothers and sons get along with and torture each other.

Because this variety show uses a dual live and recorded broadcast format, it fully showcases the celebrities' frustrations with raising cubs, as well as the cubs' adorable bear skin. It's so realistic and immersive that netizens have given it two other titles: "Experience Painless Cub Raising" and "Cubs in Space and Time."

After the first season became a huge hit, spots for the second season were in high demand. Logically speaking, with Li Yubai's current reputation, it would be impossible for him to get a spot on such a variety show. However, some people wanted to completely crush Li Yubai, so they spent a lot of money to send him to such a variety show.

Because it is a live broadcast, although malicious editing methods cannot be used, many places can still be tampered with.

For example, arrange a very naughty kid for him, and then say some bad things about Li Yubai in front of the kid, instigate the kid and Li Yubai to go against each other, buy some hot searches for Li Yubai, and arrange for the stars who record the variety show together to say some specious words.

For example, he would be very cruel to the child in private, scolding the child, not giving the child food, and sometimes even hitting the child secretly, which made the child not close to him, etc.

In this circle, evidence is often not needed. As long as the hype is big enough, even the false can be made to appear true.

Actually, it would be easier to get Li Yubai on a variety show that didn't require a live broadcast. But it's obvious that Li Yubai would never appear on a variety show that didn't require a live broadcast and was edited by others.

Originally, Li Yubai had no intention of taking on such a variety show. It was obvious that it would not be a good thing if such a popular variety show fell into his hands.

But now, he really doesn't want to eat instant noodles.

Of course, not wanting to eat instant noodles was only a small reason. The main reason was that the Li family's mother, whom he had called "Mom" for more than 20 years, sent him a message.

Li Yubai has never been able to understand Chu Yao, his former mother, whose thoughts jump back and forth between being extremely reliable and unreliable.

For example, now, she sent him a message in a very natural and familiar tone as before, asking him to appear on this variety show so that he could help her take care of her best friend's daughter Shi Yue, who was appearing on such a popular variety show for the first time.

Li Yubai, who was sitting at the dining table eating instant noodles, lowered his eyes and looked at the mobile phone on the table. His slender and powerful fingers tapped the table lightly. Rhythmic tapping sounds came from the empty living room. The sunlight shining on the table was reflected in his eyes, reflecting no emotion.

After a long while, Li Yubai stopped typing, picked up his phone, and replied briefly with four words: "For the last time!"

Li Yubai knew what he would face on such a variety show, but that didn't mean he was afraid. Even if he wanted to be afraid, he didn't have the ability to do so.

After the last guest signed the contract, the variety show "Time and Space Zaizai", which had been prepared for a long time and had already been filmed, immediately started to take action.

There are five adult guests participating this time. In addition to Li Yubai, who has a lot of negative news, there is also Shi Yue, a new star who successfully became a top star with a fairy tale drama, and the popular young actor Xiao Chengtian, who is said to have been suppressed by Li Yubai and stepped on Li Yubai to quickly rise to the top, as well as this year's new actress and actor Chen Yingke and Lu Yian.

Li Yubai is completely out of place in this gorgeous lineup, and the storm that is about to come can already be anticipated.

As for the young guests, they also come from prominent backgrounds. The five-year-old Mu Yichen is the youngest son of actor Mu Nuo. Unlike the newly crowned actor Lu Yian who only won one award, Mu Nuo is the only actor who has won all three major domestic awards.

Shi Huairou, who is also five years old, is the daughter of the Shi Group. Hongyu Media Company, one of the three major giants in the entertainment industry, is owned by the Shi Group.

Another girl, Lou Yaoyao, is the youngest daughter of dance master Lou Shi. She is four and a half years old this year and has great dancing talent. Last month, she won second place in a young dancers' competition. The first place was taken by a little girl two years older than her.

As the youngest child currently, Cao Yuhao is the one that the production team plans to assign to Li Yubai. He is four years old this year. Although he is young, he is incredibly strong. As Director Cao's first child, he is doted on by Director Cao and is extremely naughty.

However, out of respect for Director Cao, everyone was praising him in a positive way. After all, Director Cao is currently the most awarded director in the entertainment industry. He has directed many films that have won numerous awards both domestically and internationally, such as "Spark," "Into the Badlands," "Dead and Alive," and "My Ancestors," which have had a profound international impact.

Director Cao is a very talented and gifted director, but when it comes to raising children...

However, because people in the industry all praised it in a positive way, some newcomers who didn't have a deep understanding of the entertainment industry encountered some problems when trying to find out the news.

When the popular young actor Chengtian learned that the program team was going to give Director Cao's child Cao Yuhao to Li Yubai and give him a completely ordinary child found from an orphanage, he was extremely dissatisfied.

He said some innuendos to the director, and when he saw that it had no effect, he called the financial backer behind the scenes.

Finally, under Xiao Chengtian's unreasonable demands and the pressure from the financial sponsor, the angry director directly assigned Cao Yuhao to this ungrateful person.

Following the huge success of the previous season, in order to add some conflict and drama to this season, director Zhu Feng planned to arrange a child from an orphanage to contrast with these children who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

As the only broken colander among a pile of golden spoons, this child from an orphanage is bound to attract more attention and discussion. Moreover, most children from orphanages are well-behaved, sensible and easy to take care of.

Considering the financial backer behind Xiao Tiancheng, the director deliberately gave this popular and well-behaved kid to Xiao Tiancheng. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be such an ungrateful person.

Because Li Yubai signed the contract too late and Xiao Tiancheng's weird behavior, the program crew went to the orphanage to find the last little guest only the day before filming started.

After visiting two orphanages and failing to find a satisfactory program crew member, when he walked into the old street where the last orphanage was located, he immediately spotted Jiaojiao, who was squatting at the door of the orphanage waiting for her father.

The sunshine, the old streets, the dilapidated orphanage, the grass growing out from the cracks in the rocks, and the baby squatting at the door with a bottle of milk on his back, looking well-behaved and quiet as if waiting for something.

The images composed of these materials have an impact that goes straight to the heart, so that the people in the program crew were unconsciously distracted from all their attention when they noticed this scene.

The crew walked forward and met the cub's eyes, which were so dark that they seemed to be filled with broken stars, in this dilapidated and old street.

The assistant director, a rough old man, softened his expression unconsciously, squatted down and asked in a low voice: "Little boy, what are you doing squatting here?"

After some time of teaching from the uncles and aunts in the orphanage, Jiaojiao, who could barely understand what was said, replied obediently, "Wait, wait for daddy."

Listening to the child's tender and soft voice, the program crew members felt inexplicably sad. Assistant director Huang Xin was even hesitant, wondering whether to choose this child as the last little guest?

Although the child is a little too small, it cannot stop him from being well-behaved and cute. And let's just take it as a good thing. After appearing on the show, the child may be able to find adoptive parents with very good conditions.

Moreover, Xiao Tiancheng has a very gentle and polite temper, so the children won't suffer if they follow him on the show.

The busy director forgot to tell the assistant director that the child in the orphanage was to be given to Li Yubai. This led to the assistant director Huang Xin, who was overwhelmed with compassion, to decide on this final little guest after some consideration.

After making up his mind, he softened his voice and continued, "What's your name, little one?"

Jiaojiao looked up at this strange uncle and blinked. Although she was puzzled, she still said obediently, "Jiaojiao."

"Jiao Jiao?" Huang Xin was a little surprised. This name had a somewhat different flavor.

After being surprised, he continued, "Little Jiaojiao, uncle will take you to find your father, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao's eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly. Her soft little voice was filled with undisguised anticipation: "Okay, Jiaojiao will go find Daddy."

Seeing this, Huang Xin stretched out his hand with a smile on his face: "Uncle, hug me."

Jiaojiao quickly supported herself on the ground and climbed up with her butt sticking out. After staggering two steps, she threw herself into Huang Xin's arms.

Huang Xin's heart trembled immediately. He carefully and clumsily hugged the small and soft body in his arms, and for a moment he even forgot how to stand up.

It took Huang Xin about ten minutes to carefully walk into the orphanage with Jiaojiao in his arms. No matter how much he talked, he couldn't convince the people in the orphanage that he was not there to kidnap children, even though they looked at him as if they were wary of thieves.

Finally, Huang Xin was able to take Jiaojiao away from the orphanage after asking the police for identification and a lawyer to help him look at the contract. He also learned that Jiaojiao was actually Jiaojiao, not Jiaojiao.

Before leaving, Jiaojiao waved to the uncles and aunts in the orphanage. She rarely raised her eyebrows and said in a stumbling voice, "Uncle, aunt, goodbye. Jiaojiao is looking for daddy."

The caring volunteers in the orphanage who understood Jiaojiao's meaning were filled with sadness and relief. The sadness was that this docile little cub, who had been sitting at the door waiting for his father day after day since the day he arrived at the orphanage, would most likely not find the father he really wanted.

The good news is that after the show, Jiaojiao will most likely find a very good pair of adoptive parents.

The staff at the orphanage were very sure about this, because they were absolutely certain that Jiaojiao was the cutest and most obedient cub in the world, and no one could resist his charm.

The next day, when the staff took the little guests to meet their new parents, the assistant director found out that the child had been replaced by Li Yubai.

The assistant director, who had grown fonder of the child after spending the day with him, froze in his tracks. After coming to his senses, he asked the director in a slightly unhappy tone, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

With Li Yubai's sharp appearance and behavior style that are unique to the domestic entertainment industry, it would be strange if he could raise a child well.

The director, feeling a little guilty, looked away to avoid his glare: "I was so busy, and I didn't expect you to bring such a small child back."

"Can we change it now? For example, change it to Lu Yian or Chen Yingke?" asked the assistant director.

"It's too late. The respective group lineups have been officially announced, and except for Cao Yuhao, no other children can be given to Li Yubai." Director Zhu Feng said with a serious look.

Given Li Yubai's current situation, no matter which young guest they give him, their program team will offend the person behind the young guest.

The reason why they dared to give Cao Yuhao to Li Yubai was because Director Cao himself admired Li Yubai very much, and did not mind Li Yubai's current situation. He also placed hope on Li Yubai to discipline the child for him.

The assistant director, who understood what the director meant, compromised reluctantly, secretly planning to help Jiaojiao more when the time comes.

Jiaojiao was very happy on the way to see her father. She couldn't help shaking her short legs while sitting in the car.

At this time, the netizens who were watching the live broadcast rooms of Lu Yian, Chen Yingke, Xiao Chengtian, and Shi Yue were all licking the faces of their brothers and sisters while looking forward to the birth of their brothers and sisters' babies.

In order to increase the sense of anticipation and mystery, the time and space babies do not record a pilot film, and the main focus is on surprise.

Completely different from the other four people, Li Yubai's live broadcast room is filled with all kinds of bad words.

Among these malicious words were those cursing Li Yubai, those mocking him for having to live in such a shabby house, and those speculating that he had a financial backer behind him that allowed him to be on this show.

Some people even went to the program team and called for Li Yubai to be kicked out, questioning whether the program team was here to harm the kids with his poor quality?

Li Yubai, who saw these bad words on the phone, lowered his eyelids to hide the pity that appeared in his eyes.

Unfortunately, these remarks did not stir up any emotion in him. It seemed that his emotional deficiency had not improved.

"Ding-ling~Ding-ling~"

The doorbell rang, and amidst the barrage of netizens shouting for the baby to run, Li Yubai stood up from the sofa and went to open the door.

Li Yubai neither looks forward to nor rejects the child he will be spending quite some time with. He simply faces it with a normal attitude.

Even though this child is very likely to make his condition worse!

Two updates in one
