What's wrong with the production team? Qiao Xi and Tang Tang are already here, so why bring in a mystery guest? Is anyone more famous than them?

[It feels like the production team was paid to use Qiao Xi and Tang Tang's fame to promote other people.]

I think so too.

【Seriously, are all of Qiao Xi's fans brain-dead? Can't this children's reality show be a little more harmonious? What did that mystery guest do to you?】

...

The comments section erupted in arguments, leaving even the director speechless.

He thought to himself: When my mystery guest comes out later, I'll scare you all to death.

To maintain the mystery, even Qiao Xi and the other group of guests didn't know who the mystery guest was.

The second group of guests is also somewhat famous online.

Mom Xing Ziyou is a food blogger, and her son, Little Potato, is a little foodie.

The couple's warm and loving relationship has attracted many fans.

When Little Potato was introducing himself, his eyes were fixed on the fruit decorations next to him, revealing his true foodie nature and eliciting a lot of laughter.

Lin Yusheng saw all of this because she was in the staff car next to her, which was arranged by the director.

With only the mystery guest yet to appear, the comments section instantly became even more lively.

Watching live streams of these multi-person variety shows can be a bit boring, so most people prefer to watch pre-edited versions. Now, about a third of the people in the live stream are there for the mystery guest.

The director winked at the host.

The host looked conflicted, but still took the advertiser's product—a bottle of laundry detergent—and walked in front of the camera.

"I'm sure everyone is eager to know who our mystery guest is, but now, please allow me to recommend something great to you..."

Li Xin was reading the advertising script, but the viewers in the live stream were not happy.

【No, I'm watching a live stream, and they still want to insert ads?】

[Speechless. They really piqued my interest, then dragged their feet. I'm leaving.]

...

Seeing the number of viewers in the live stream decreasing at a visible rate, the director panicked and quickly called the host back.

Li Xin had a "See, I told you so" look on his face, and he said with a hint of reproach, "I already said, now is not the time."

That's because your advertising copy isn't appealing.

Li Xin: "..." You're the director, so you call the shots.

He quickly composed himself, smiled, and reappeared on camera, getting straight to the point, "Now, please welcome our program's mystery guest."

Li Xin made a "please look" gesture, pointing towards the car in front of the camera that wasn't particularly eye-catching.

[Huh? The mystery guest has been there all along?]

[The production team is really good at this; they've created a lot of mystery and hype. Who exactly is this person?]

...

After hearing the host's words, Lin Yusheng looked down at her beloved son and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Mmm-hmm." Lu Shifan's eyes sparkled; it was clear he was quite excited.

So Lin Yusheng opened the car door and stepped out first.

The viewers in the live stream first noticed a pair of fair and shapely long legs, wearing white sneakers, and at first glance, they thought it was a young college student.

Lin Yusheng was still holding Lu Shifan's hand after getting out of the car, so she hadn't faced the camera yet.

All the people could see was a youthful and sunny figure from behind, wearing a clean white shirt and a blue denim skirt, with a slender back and a high ponytail.

[Is this a staff member?]

[My dream legs! I can't stop thinking about them!]

...

The director was very satisfied with the netizens' reactions.

Lu Shifan jumped off the car, holding his mother's hand.

He was facing the camera and the director, so he waved enthusiastically.

Comments section:

[Are you sure you have kids?]

Oh my god, this baby is so cute! Who is he? I've never seen him before!

This baby is so beautiful! Ahhh, so kawaii!

[Oh no! I'm a female college student, and a kid has captured my heart. I have a feeling he'll grow up to be a real heartthrob.]

[I want to become a human trafficker...]

You crazy women, you even prey on children!

[How good-looking must the parents be to have a child like this?]

...

All eyes were on the clean and gentle woman, and the comment section fell silent the moment she turned around.

They need some time to process what they're seeing.

Lin Yusheng was already a top-tier celebrity back then. All three of her roles were incredibly popular, and she had zero scandals, zero negative press, and not even any unflattering photos.

No one expected that the person who suddenly announced his temporary retirement from the entertainment industry would appear on a children's variety show.

Friends, am I hallucinating? How come I saw my goddess on a children's reality show?!

This has stirred up a huge wave of discussion, and the comment section has been flooded with comments.

[Holy crap, is this for real? My goddess retired from the entertainment industry to have a baby?]

I can't believe it, things have changed so much. Where is my flamboyant young lady?

Why am I crying? Four years of silence, and then suddenly I see him. This fragile college student can't take it anymore.

[There are many fans of Lin Yusheng in the comments section, but everyone should calm down and accept this reality. Celebrities are also human; it's normal for them to get married and have children.]

...

Lin Yusheng was unaware of the frenzy in the comments section.

She entered the venue holding only her beloved son's hand.

Lu Shifan waved to the camera and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Lu Shifan."

Lin Yusheng smiled and said, "Hello everyone, it's been a long time. I'm Lin Yusheng, Fanfan's mommy, uh... her biological daughter."

She thought for a moment and then added the last sentence.

Those who were about to launch a wave of criticism in front of the screen silently pressed the delete button.

Li Xin said behind the camera: "Our audience is very enthusiastic about Ms. Lin. May I ask, after so many years, is there anything you would like to say to your fans when you appear in front of the camera again?"

"First of all, I am very sorry that my sudden retirement from the entertainment industry disappointed many fans; secondly, I am back, I am still Lin Yusheng, and I will continue to act. I hope to meet everyone in my next work."

[Waaaaah, she's still my goddess! Go Sheng Sheng, I'll always support you! Also, little Fan Fan is so cute, can I cuddle her?]

[Retiring from the entertainment industry to have a baby at the height of her fame... what was she thinking? It was so stupid. Can she possibly be in the same shape as before after having a child?]

【Wait, what do you mean by that? So what if she had a baby? Having a baby won't stop her from beating up your real self, let alone someone like you who can only sit in front of a screen and make sarcastic remarks.】

Am I the only one who thinks Sheng Sheng is doing very well right now? She seems gentler and more serene than before, and I still like her a lot.

[Why are fans so excited about a top-tier actor reduced to participating in a children's variety show? Don't they feel ashamed?]

[With a baby like this, I'd quit the entertainment industry three times and have three children. Don't be jealous; if you are, you're wrong.]
