Chapter 12 The Beloved Nono That man probably has no idea he has…

Ten days passed in a flash. Jiang Shunian and Nuonuo watched the first season of the show and were touched by the heartwarming and funny scenes. They were also looking forward to their own trip.

This show basically has no script; they only mentioned that they would play a few games, but what those games would be and where they would travel were kept secret.

On the day of the program recording, the production crew arrived early to film. They arrived early, and Jiang Shunian had just put breakfast on the table when there was a knock on the door.

"Dad, I'll open the door." Nono volunteered, ran to the door, and stood on tiptoe to open it.

Facing the camera, Jiang Yunnuo was not shy and greeted, "Good morning, uncles and aunts."

Her soft, sweet voice and stunning good looks instantly won them over.

Jiang Shunian followed and said with a smile, "Hello, you've come so early. Have you eaten yet?"

The two members of the film crew shook their heads in unison.

"I made a little extra, would you like to eat together? Will it take up too much time?"

Jiang Shunian knew that he needed to record a lot of content today, so he got up more than an hour earlier than usual to prepare breakfast.

"It won't cause any delays. Was it done by Teacher Jiang?" the photographer asked in surprise.

Jiang Shunian nodded: "Yes, after I had Nuonuo, I started to study cooking."

"Can I take a picture?"

"sure."

So the photographer filmed the breakfast Jiang Shunian made before sitting down to eat.

Nuonuo, showing great hospitality, proactively fed them crab roe soup dumplings. The two ate without even looking up, and didn't forget to praise, "Teacher Jiang's cooking skills are amazing, even better than a professional chef's!"

After quickly finishing breakfast, the cameraman continued filming. The crew handed Jiang Shunian a card with their first destination written on it.

However, instead of stating it directly, it used a simple question-and-answer format, requiring the child to guess the place name.

The shorter the guessing time, the higher the priority in the subsequent game rounds.

It reads: Crescent Moon, Little Sharp Teeth.

Choose two characters from them to form a word.

Nono recognized the characters. After thinking for a moment, he quickly answered, "Crescent Moon!"

"Yes, our first stop is Crescent Island. Nono is so smart! Now please go downstairs to catch the bus."

Crescent Island is located south of S City, about a three-hour drive away, including a section of highway. Other guests also stayed in S City for the convenience of filming the show.

After getting into the car, Jiang Shunian first fastened Nuonuo's car seat before fastening his own seatbelt.

Cameras were installed in the car beforehand, but not all content would be edited and played, so Jiang Shunian didn't need to be so reserved.

Nono was a little excited, which manifested in him talking more than usual. He asked Jiang Shunian, "Dad, is Crescent Island an island that looks like a crescent moon?"

"I think so," Jiang Shunian replied.

"Will there be any delicious seafood? Daddy, can you make me takoyaki?"

Jiang Shunian suppressed a laugh: "Of course, whatever Nuonuo wants to eat, Dad will make it for you."

"Thank you, Dad!"

After the car entered the highway, the ride was so smooth, and with the warm sunshine, Nuonuo felt sleepy and quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Her long eyelashes, like the folded wings of a butterfly, were serene and beautiful, and were all captured by the quiet camera.

Jiang Shunian got up too early and felt sleepy, so he held Nuonuo's little hand and fell asleep as well.

Later, the father and son's amazing sleeping faces were edited with a soft filter, making them look like angels.

When they arrived at their destination, Jiang Shunian woke up. Nuonuo, who was beside him, had been awake for a while but remained quiet and didn't say anything.

Jiang Shunian and his group arrived relatively early and waited for a while before the other father-son pairs arrived. Jiang Shunian recognized two of them, Chen Hesheng and Li Jiaming, both of whom were film and television award winners. They were over forty years old, with refined temperaments and a powerful aura.

The other Lu Chen is less popular. He used to be a supporting actor, but now he is semi-retired from the entertainment industry.

The Best Actor and the Best Actress knew each other and gave each other a friendly hug. Jiang Shunian also brought Nuonuo forward to greet them: "Teacher Chen, Teacher Li, Teacher Lu, it's an honor to meet you. I am Jiang Shunian, an actor."

They weren't familiar with Jiang Shunian, so they weren't very warm towards him and only exchanged greetings.

The son and daughter they brought with them widened their eyes as soon as they saw Nuonuo and ran over. One of the little boys even tried to touch Nuonuo's face: "Are you a doll in disguise?"

Nono blinked and replied, "I'm a person."

“Impossible! Only dolls can look this good!” another little girl retorted. “I have so many pretty dolls, and you look just like them!”

Nono's eyes are large and have a touch of gold, making her look somewhat unreal.

The second generation of celebrities are already known for their good looks, but Nono is even more beautiful than them.

Children's love of beauty is innate, and they immediately surrounded Nuonuo. The little girl Youyou, who was the oldest and tallest among them, declared domineeringly, "You are very beautiful. I will marry you when I grow up."

Youyou is the daughter of movie star Chen Hesheng, whom he usually dotes on. Upon hearing this, he was shocked and quickly picked Youyou up, saying, "Youyou, how could you talk about getting married so casually?"

“But he’s just as good-looking as Dad,” Youyou replied innocently. “Mom says that when you’re looking for a husband, you have to find someone handsome.”

Chen Hesheng: "..."

What do you do if your past, where you rose to power through your looks, is suddenly exposed?

Everyone present: "...Pfft."

The atmosphere became much more lively because of the child's interruption.

While on the boat, the children saw seagulls flying alongside their boat and cheered excitedly. The production team prepared ham sausages and breadcrumbs that the seagulls could eat so that they could feed them.

Nuonuo was also very interested. She was held by Jiang Shunian and raised her little hand to hold a sausage. Soon, seagulls came over to peck at it.

"Daddy, the seagulls are so beautiful!" Nono cheered.

Upon arriving at Crescent Island, everyone was captivated by its beautiful scenery: golden sandy beaches, azure waters, and most attractively, a stretch of pebble beach where the pebbles were lustrous and translucent, shimmering with various colors like gemstones.

The host, the village chief, was already waiting here to welcome everyone. He then mentioned that one of the children had to miss this episode's recording because he suddenly caught a cold last night, and they would have to meet again in the next episode.

"Children, it's time to hand in your snacks and toys," the village chief said with a smile.

The children were taught beforehand, but when they saw their snacks and toys actually being taken out, they couldn't help but pout and want to cry.

Nono was very cooperative; he knew he couldn't bring toys, but he didn't expect that the Rubik's Cube he put in his suitcase would also be taken away.

This is new learning material that Nono recently learned. He studies it every day by watching the videos. Because his hands are small, it was custom-made for him by Jiang Shunian.

"Uncle Village Chief, the Rubik's Cube isn't a toy." Nono tugged at the village chief's pants, looking very upset. He had mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he would feel very uncomfortable if he didn't get to play with the Rubik's Cube.

The village chief was also in a dilemma, because the Rubik's Cube is indeed difficult to define. It is not wrong to call it a toy, but it is more of an educational tool, and most of those who play with Rubik's Cubes are very smart children.

This is the first time a child has brought a Rubik's Cube, and his suitcase even contains some study materials.

Jiang Shunian quickly hugged Nuonuo and comforted her, "How about we learn something else?"

Nono nodded sadly, her eyes filled with reluctance as she looked at the Rubik's Cube.

The village chief instantly felt that he had committed a heinous crime.

However, the village chief, who had little conscience, only felt guilty for a second before confiscating the Rubik's Cube.

Next up is a game of choosing a house. Since Nono was the first child to guess the travel destination, Jiang Shunian can choose his opponent in the tug-of-war first.

Yes, they also need to have a tug-of-war competition, and the winner can choose a house with better accommodations.

Jiang Shunian: "..."

He lost a lot of weight for filming, but he's gained some back these days. He's still the thinnest of the dads, and the good news is that he's also the youngest.

Jiang Shunian took a look and chose Lu Bao's father, Lu Chen.

Lu Chen is taller than Jiang Shunian, and is thirty-eight years old this year, but he is very well-maintained.

Jiang Shunian thought that he would have no difficulty beating Lu Chen because he had been training regularly. However, as soon as the match started, Jiang Shunian felt a strong force from his opponent trying to pull him away. Despite using all his strength, Jiang Shunian still failed. After persisting for more than a minute, Jiang Shunian was pulled away by Lu Chen.

"Teacher Jiang, you flatter me," Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Teacher Lu is amazing."

Jiang Shunian was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and Nuonuo quickly grabbed a towel to wipe it off for him.

Li Jiaming won the match between Chen Hesheng and Li Jiaming. Then they competed against each other, and Jiang Shunian couldn't even beat Chen Hesheng.

In the end, Jiang Shunian chose the worst house. On the way to his house, Jiang Shunian felt very sorry. Nuonuo was so helpful, but he had dragged him down.

"Dad," Nuonuo noticed Jiang Shunian's low spirits and looked up to comfort him, "As long as you live with Dad, it's okay to sleep outside."

Jiang Shunian picked Nuonuo up and kissed his cheek: "Thank you, Nuonuo."

The new place is just one room, with a simple wooden bed inside, and even the kitchen is open-air.

Jiang Shunian skillfully changed the sheets and duvet cover, and was then told that it was time to go have lunch.

Lunch was a very sumptuous seafood feast, which was very fresh and delicious, and the children enjoyed it very much.

The village chief smiled and said, "The production team will only provide this one breakfast. In the afternoon, we'll need to play games. How much food the dads can get depends on their abilities."

The children immediately tensed up.

The first game in the afternoon was for the dads to be blindfolded, and the kids to direct their dads to use a net to catch seafood in the pool. They had two minutes to decide which seafood to catch, as many of the seafood were alive and swimming very fast, which really tested the kids' command skills.

The other dads had a lot of funny moments while trying to catch seafood. Some spent a long time scooping up nothing, and one even almost slipped and fell on a scallop.

But Nono was clearly the most logical and articulate. While other children could only shout left, right, forward, and backward, Nono could already predict the movement of sea fish and accurately convey it to Jiang Shunian.

In the end, Jiang Shunian naturally got the most seafood. His outstanding performance surprised the other fathers, who asked him how he educated his children during the break.

Jiang Shunian scratched his head awkwardly: "Nuonuo is self-taught."

The other fathers were somewhat silent. They were from wealthy families and naturally provided their children with top-notch educational resources, but none of them seemed as smart as Nuonuo.

Since Jiang Shunian had caught the most ingredients, he suggested that everyone cook dinner together.

This proposal was naturally unanimously agreed upon.

Since none of them were very good at cooking, they planned to steam the food and eat it with vinegar if Jiang Shunian didn't suggest it.

They watched in astonishment as Jiang Shunian made shrimp dumplings, braised mackerel, garlic scallops, and spicy and sour kelp, all of which were delicious and visually appealing.

After finishing their work, it was already dark. The guests sat together for dinner. They had originally planned to exchange a few pleasantries, but after enjoying the delicious dishes, they all fell silent and began to eat their rice, afraid of not eating enough.

Oreo, the son of TV King Li Jiaming, praised without reservation: "Uncle, your cooking is so delicious! Can I stay with you tonight? I can sleep next to Nuonuo."

This is a classic case of someone whose real intention is not what they seem.

Youyou instantly became alert: "No, Nono is mine!"

Lu Bao raised his hand and said, "Then I'll sleep with Uncle Jiang, hehe."

The children started arguing again, and were eventually forcibly taken away by their fathers.

The first day of filming has now come to an end.

To accommodate the children's feelings, they can make video calls to their mothers in the evening. When the other children see their mothers, they instantly transform into sweet little angels, happily sharing fun things with their mothers. They especially introduced Jiang Yunnuo and praised Jiang Shunian for her delicious cooking.

After returning to the house, Nono began to study. The production crew was surprised and assigned a separate fixed camera to film the entire process.

This could be broadcast as a bonus feature or side story.

When the production team asked Jiang Shunian if she wanted to make a phone call, she remained silent for a moment and then shook her head.

Nuonuo is very sensible. He knows that normal children have a father and a mother, but he has never asked Jiang Shunian where his mother is.

That man probably had no idea he had a child.
