Three-and-a-half-year-old Chao Chao runs away from home because she is afraid of getting beaten up. She accidentally bonds with a system meant to redeem villains. Her task is to persuade villains t...
"Daddy, why don't you need to change your clothes..."
That way, she and her dad won't be such a good match!
Thinking about it, Chaochao kept a sullen face, but her hands moved without hesitation as she forked a piece of fried steak and put it into her mouth.
The man sitting across the round table, who was being criticized, was methodically cutting the steak on his plate with a knife. The sleeves of his white hoodie were casually rolled up, revealing half of his smooth and slender forearm, which had a high aesthetic appeal comparable to a museum work of art in the shimmering light of the glass.
"Because I prefer what I'm wearing now."
Huo Qin pushed the plate of diced beef in front of Chaochao before calmly speaking. But when his deep eyes swept over Chaochao's puffed-up cheeks, a subtle smile flickered across them.
Upon hearing this explanation, the little dumpling's dissatisfaction almost instantly dissipated. Although she felt a little regretful, she was mostly happy.
It's all because she's too outstanding; it's understandable, it's understandable.
“That nest of… (chewing) shrimp… (chewing)… and also for Daddy… (chewing) to buy clothes and Buddha…”
The thought of her dad having to wear the clothes she bought to work filled Chaochao's rosy little face with happiness as she chewed, almost overflowing with joy. However, mindful of the food she hadn't finished eating, the direction of her facial muscles gradually became strange, like an emoji that Huo Qin had accidentally glimpsed on Jiang Chi's phone.
The only difference is that the panda face has now shifted to his daughter's face.
Seeing the little dumpling so happy that it shook its head because of a compliment, Huo Qin's lips couldn't help but curve into a slight smile, but it was quickly flattened. Accompanied by a light cough to cover up the situation, his steady voice asked a question that seemed unintentional.
"Are you that happy?"
The tone of voice was devoid of any interest.
The staff members not far away wore complicated expressions upon hearing this.
Hey boss, this wasn't how you were choosing clothes for the kids during last night's video conference...
The staff member hesitated, looking around before finally swallowing the melon with tears in his eyes, since his slacking-off partner wasn't around.
Even though Chaochao was already feeling sleepy after eating, she still forced herself to stay awake and let Huoqin lead her for a walk in the castle to digest her food.
Then, a few passing staff members would witness this scene—against a backdrop of a retro and exquisite European castle, a handsome man strolled leisurely like a nobleman, while below him lay dolls and children leaning precariously—
It's hard to figure out why, it's like suddenly pulling the audience away from a documentary with a strong sense of history to Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, yes, Big Big Wolf's happy hometown.
The passerby pondered: "…………"
After a fierce battle with drowsiness for half an hour, Chaochao finally tilted her head to the side and collapsed unconscious in Huo Qin's arms.
Just before he fell into a deep sleep, he shouted loudly with his eyes closed, "Daddy!"
A loud, childlike voice exploded in Huo Qin's ears like thunder. His temples throbbed, and when he turned to look at her, the little dumpling was already fast asleep, her hands clinging to his shoulders and her head tilted to the side.
Is there something I didn't get to eat in my dream?
Huo Qin lowered his eyes and pondered silently, then followed the manager's solicitous directions to the lounge on this floor.
He simply raised his slender fingers and silently stroked the back of her head.
On the side that Huo Qin couldn't see, Chao Chao's rosy cheeks were squeezed up, making her seemingly unconscious murmur quite indistinct.
"Daddy...I...together tomorrow..."
