In today's entertainment industry, what matters most is not professional skills, but popularity.
Without traffic, even the best business skills may not guarantee a chance.
This is the main reason why he and his family went on this variety show.
Feng Wenhe looks down on the new generation of singers, but envies their popularity and earning power.
He wants to regain popularity and get more attention and buzz!
"Alright," Feng Wenhe's expression turned slightly unpleasant, "I don't need a housewife like you who stays at home all day to lecture me. I know what to do."
"Next time, don't take it upon yourself to apologize for Ah Xuan. Don't corrupt him with your womanly compassion."
Wu Ningwei felt a chill in her heart, her expression somewhat numb; she had grown accustomed to such accusations.
...
That night, after the live broadcast ended, Chi Nao lay in bed, unable to sleep.
Chi Baiyi thought she was still upset about what happened with Feng Xuan that afternoon, so he asked her gently, "What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep?"
"I can't sleep," came the babyish voice.
"It's all in the past, don't think about it anymore," Chi Baiyi said.
"But I really like that mask." Chi Naozi frowned.
Chi Baiyi: "?"
What mask?
“The mask I pointed out to you at the market during the day,” Chi Cheese said.
Chi Baiyi suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
"Are you thinking about that mask?"
"Hmm." Chi Naozi nodded emphatically. "Dad, don't you think that mask is special?"
Chi Baiyi didn't feel anything about the mask.
He just felt that the mask looked a bit strange; he had never seen it before.
"Dad, I really want a mask like that too. Take me to that person and ask him where he bought the mask." Chi Nao looked at her father with bright eyes, trying to hide her anticipation and nervousness.
"The auntie who sells vegetables said that the person lives in the next village. If we ask her, we should be able to find out where he lives."
Chi Baiyi didn't expect Chi Naiqi to be so interested in a mask she had only seen once at the market.
“We’re home now. Dad will find someone to make you something similar,” Chi Baiyi said.
"I don't want something similar, I want the exact same one. Dad, do you remember what that mask looked like? How did you get someone to make it for me?"
Chi Baiyi was truly stumped by Chi's question about cheese.
He only vaguely remembered what the mask looked like.
"This episode is over, I'll take you there." Chi Baiyi relented.
Chi Nao smiled broadly: "Great! Dad, you're so good!"
Chi Baiyi's icy expression relaxed slightly upon hearing this.
Chi Naozi vaguely felt that the fire that killed her family ten years later was likely related to the masked person.
Ten years ago today, that mask appeared at the market.
Could the masked man she saw at the market be the murderer?
Chi Nao suddenly realized that she had traveled back ten years in order to find the arsonist who would commit the fire ten years later, so that her family could be saved from death.
Seeing Chi Nao's face growing increasingly serious, Chi Bai couldn't help but flick her forehead with his finger.
"What are you still thinking about? Go to sleep."
Chi Nai came to her senses, her big, dark eyes darting around.
Her voice sounded aggrieved: "I can't sleep... I miss Sister Qin..."
Chi Baiyi: "..."
You do this every night, right?
Since he started participating in "Our Little Family of Three," his adopted daughter hasn't slept with him for a single night.
Seeing Chi Baiyi's expression grow colder and colder, Chi Naozi became more and more pitiful and aggrieved: "I just miss Sister Qin, I miss Sister Qin so much that I can't sleep. Even if I do fall asleep, I will definitely sleepwalk to find Sister Qin at night."
"The same as last night?" Chi Baiyi asked coldly.
Chi Cheese: "..."
Chi Naiqi covered half of her face with the blanket, looking pitiful and heartbroken.
"Dad, you don't sleep with me at home, so why do you want me to sleep with you when you come to participate in the show? Dad, you're such a grown-up, can't you sleep by yourself? I can only sleep with Sister Qin on the show."
Chi Baiyi: "..."
The reason he didn't sleep with Chi Nao at home was partly because he often worked very late, and his schedule didn't match Chi Nao's.
The main reason is that he sometimes doesn't fully accept that Chi Nai is his daughter, so he avoids suspicion in some matters because of the differences between men and women.
The reason he slept with Chi Nao-chi on the show was, of course, because there was no way he could let her sleep alone.
However, the fact that he couldn't provide her with a place to sleep alone doesn't mean he agreed to let Chi Cheese sleep with a stranger.
Chi Naozi was still fiddling with her fingers, looking aggrieved: "The show ends the day after tomorrow, and then I won't be able to sleep with Sister Qin anymore. If I can't sleep with Sister Qin these next few nights, I'll be so sad that I won't be able to sleep."
"You can get used to life after the show ends, when you can't sleep with Sister Qin anymore," Chi Baiyi said in a cold voice.
"What's the point of getting used to it in advance? I should cherish the days I can sleep with Sister Qin," Chi Baiyi said in a soft, sweet voice.
Chi Baiyi: "..."
"Dad, you don't understand, you really don't understand what we girls are thinking."
Chi Baiyi: "..."
Chi Baiyi sighed and gave in: "Alright, go sleep with your Sister Qin."
"Great!" Chi Nao's eyes lit up, and she jumped out of bed.
She slipped on her slippers, strode out the door, rushed to Qin Yuanyao's room, knocked, and called out, "Sister Qin, I'm here to sleep with you!"
