Chapter 37 Teammates help take care of the baby
As the music ended briefly, Lu Yuan froze in an ending pose with his back turned and head turned to the side.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp snapping sound could be heard from inside the dance studio.
The little cub sitting in the back clapped wildly like a seal.
"Third brother is so amazing! He danced so beautifully!" Lu Yinzhao's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Yuan with admiration and amazement.
Seeing that Zhao Zhao's little hands were red from clapping, Lu Cheng was not to be outdone.
"Good!!!" the boy shouted, then suddenly clapped loudly and rapidly, startling Lu Yuan who was about to walk over.
"Are you crazy..." Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. He didn't really believe that Lu Cheng would genuinely praise him.
Lu Cheng stood up, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Awesome, awesome! No wonder you're the captain of SIX GEM."
Lu Yuan: "..."
For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether the kid was being righteous or sarcastic.
Lu Yuan picked up Zhao Zhao and left without looking back, rejecting all of Lu Cheng's attempts to flatter him.
Not long after, the trio who had gone out to buy food returned.
Everyone brought out a large table that they hadn't used much before and placed the lunches they had bought on it.
"Wow, there's quite a lot on display. I didn't realize it when I bought it." Gong Yao stood on a chair, raised her phone, and took several photos of the food from above before sending them to their group chat.
When Xiang Zhiyun heard the message on his phone, he took it out and saw that the group chat was full of picture messages sent by Gong Yao.
"Ah Yao, aren't you going to drive them crazy?"
Xiang Zhiyun was referring to the other two members who didn't come. Those two had been "eating grass" every day to maintain their figures for the show, and probably hadn't had a proper meal in the past few days. Now that Gong Yao posted such a enjoyable photo, it's practically stirring up envy.
"It's because they weren't here, hahaha, I deliberately showed it to them." Gong Yao wasn't afraid of his older brothers coming back to beat him. As the youngest in the group, he was least afraid of climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles.
Lu Yuan took out Zhao Zhao's special bib from his bag and wrapped the bib around the little baby's neck.
"What would you like to eat? Third Brother will bring it to you," Lu Yuan said.
Lu Yinzhao is not a picky eater; he loves all the food on the table.
He casually pointed to a dish of garlic chicken wings and corn with pine nuts, and couldn't help but lick his lips.
Lu Yuan placed a chicken wing into his bowl, "Hold it and eat it."
Anyway, I washed my hands before the meal.
The chicken wings in front of them were quite large. With Zhao Zhao's small hands, it was inconvenient for her to use either a spoon or chopsticks. Even if Lu Yuan didn't say anything, Lu Yin Zhao would just use her hands to eat them.
So he put down his spoon, picked up the chicken wings with both hands, and began to feast.
"Is it delicious? I've personally verified the quality of their chicken wings! They're absolutely amazing!" Gong Yao asked Lu Yinzhao with a smile.
Lu Yinzhao's mouth was stuffed full, so she couldn't speak and could only nod repeatedly.
Seeing the little guy with oil and sauce all over his mouth, Wei Zuo said to Lu Xun, "Your little brother doesn't need adults to chase after him to feed him. He's better than many kids in that respect. He's so well-behaved."
"Hey! Brother Wei Zuo! You're right about that. Zhao Zhao is the most well-behaved baby in our family!" Lu Cheng interrupted his brother and boasted to Wei Zuo.
Even though it was Zhao Zhao who was being praised, he acted as if he himself was being praised, his face full of pride.
Lu Yuan stuffed a chicken wing into Lu Cheng's mouth, immediately silencing his incessant chatter, "Eat your food."
"Boss, boss, what's the plan after we finish eating? Are we going anywhere to have fun?" Gong Yao glanced at the cameramen out of the corner of his eye and, thinking that a variety show recording should have some fun content, asked curiously.
"Where do you want to go? There are many places you want to go, places that Zhao Zhao might not be able to go to." Lu Yuan knew exactly what Gong Yao was thinking.
When they used to hang out together, they went to escape rooms, haunted houses, and extreme amusement park rides.
These are places Zhaozhao shouldn't go. Places a two-year-old can go to play are probably just to stroll around the park, ride the rocking horse, or play on the carousel.
“That makes sense. Besides, if we go out, we'll be too conspicuous and easily recognized by fans, which would cause chaos.” Gong Yao dismissed his previous thought and stroked his chin.
Xiang Zhiyun smiled and said, "Why don't you practice dancing in the studio? Ayao, you haven't mastered the new moves that the boss choreographed yet, so why not practice them?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan expressed his complete agreement. He nodded and said, "Okay, then let's practice dancing. I'll join you."
Gong Yao: "..."
Wei Zuo: "..."
No, you're serious! I don't want to dance!
Gong Yao tilted his head and whistled, pretending not to care, and casually said, "I heard that the variety show you recorded is called 'Super Idol's Vacation.' What is a vacation? Can you define it for me?"
Just then, the little one, whose mouth was covered in oil from eating, suddenly raised his hand and answered, "A holiday is when you don't have to work!"
“Yes! Zhao Zhao is right!” Gong Yao felt that the little guy was really too supportive, and his response was just right.
"Of course we should rest during the holidays, how can we be busy with work? Right, boss?" Gong Yao winked at Lu Yuan frantically, her eyelashes fluttering like little wings.
"Is this a job? Isn't this something you love?" Wei Zuo said perceptively, feeling that once the boss made a decision, it was difficult to change his mind.
If you can't beat them, join them.
"If you don't want to dance, you can practice the new song instead," Xiang Zhiyun said, giving Gong Yao a way out.
Gong Yao isn't the main dancer; he doesn't really enjoy dancing in the group. He's better at singing than dancing.
"Waaah! Isn't there a third option?" Gong Yao deliberately made a wailing face.
At this moment, Lu Cheng, who was stuffed from eating a hamburger, said, "Bro! Do you want to play games? I can play with you... uh, I can play with you!"
Lu Yuan was just joking. He wouldn't force any of his teammates to dance during their vacation. However, he himself really wanted to practice dancing. He hadn't danced much at home for a few days and felt uncomfortable all over.
"I'm giving you a task: you'll play with my two younger brothers today," Lu Yuan said to Gong Yao.
Gong Yao's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed, "Okay! Boss! I promise to complete the mission! I'll take good care of little brothers Zhao Zhao and Cheng Cheng!"
Lu Cheng choked, her ears turning red as she said, "Why are you calling me Chengcheng..."
Gong Yao, unaware that Lu Cheng was shy, continued to smile and say, "You can also call me Yao Yao."
Wei Zuo suddenly felt a little envious. He also wanted to join the children's table, but the thought of that difficult dance gave him a headache.
He's a rapper, he can write a song right away, but he has to mentally prepare himself before every dance performance.
Because Lu Yuan is very strict, he will help his team members perfect every detail of their movements.
"What's with that expression?" Gong Yao had already figured out Wei Zuo's thoughts and was practically laughing to death inside.
"It's nothing..." Wei Zuo said unhappily.
"If you want to play with us, just say so! Don't pretend to be so profound." After complaining, Gong Yao said to the little kid next to her, "He's such a stubborn person."
Wei Zuo: "..." I'm still here, can you please stop crickets chirping in front of me in front of the kids?
Lu Chengxin was kind-hearted, and he took the initiative to ask, "Brother Wei Zuo, do you usually play PGW?"
Wei Zuo nodded: "I'll take a taxi, and play a few times in my spare time."
Gong Yao laughed and said, "He used to brag to me that he was in the top 50 of PGW Region 1."
This game is divided into eighteen zones arranged by numbers. If you're in Zone 1, you're a veteran player.
Lu Cheng also had an account in Zone 1, and his best result was once in the top three. After all, there were a few freaks in Zone 1 who were difficult for him to surpass at the time.
Now that he's pursuing a professional career, Lu Cheng is definitely much more capable than he was back then.
He hadn't logged into this account in a long time, but he wanted to play with his brothers for a while today, so he logged in specifically.
"Brother Wei Zuo, how about we play together? Let me see your skills."
"Since you've put it that way... then fine." Wei Zuo finally had a reason to join.
He glanced at Lu Yuan and said, "Boss, I'll go with the younger brothers too."
"Whatever, it's fine. You guys play together, I'll practice my dance for a while." Lu Yuan's words also placed Xiang Zhiyun at the children's table.
Xiang Zhiyun said helplessly, "I never said I didn't want to practice dancing!"
“I want to practice by myself for a while. You should go and keep them company. Don’t let people think I’m trying to exploit you in front of the camera.” Lu Yuan started joking more when talking to his good buddy.
Xiang Zhiyun understood immediately and jokingly said, "Alright, alright, I now reasonably suspect that you don't want to stay home with the kids, so you've asked us to be your part-time helpers."
“My brother is so obedient, taking care of the child isn’t hard for me at all. Why don’t you give it a try? Is dancing more tiring or taking care of the child?” Lu Yuan smiled and didn’t say anything more.
But considering that Lu Cheng and the others will definitely play games together, and Zhao Zhao will watch along, it's not good to let the little guy watch all the time.
After thinking it over, Lu Yuan took out a tablet from his bag, opened a drawing app, and handed it to Lu Yinzhao.
"Zhaozhao, let them play their games, you play this. There are pens here, you can use them to draw."
Although Lu Yuan knew Lu Yinzhao's true situation, he wouldn't let his younger brother reveal anything more in front of the camera this time.
Lu Yinzhao nodded obediently, "Mm!"
Lu Yinzhao could guess to some extent what Lu Yuan was thinking.
He was too naive before and didn't think things through. This time, he will behave like a simple-minded child.
Since he overheard the contents of the family meeting that night, Lu Yinzhao realized that he had been too careless many times. He also did not expect that his every move would be filmed so clearly on camera. He did not understand the process when he first recorded the show, but now that he does, he will naturally be more cautious.
"Sweetie, if you get tired of playing, go take a nap on that little sofa over there." Lu Yuan patted Zhao Zhao's head.
"OK."
Lu Yuan didn't really believe that Lu Cheng would be able to keep Zhao Zhao in check if he got too caught up in the game. He figured it was better to just talk to Zhao Zhao directly. Zhao Zhao was so smart and had such strong self-care abilities that he would do whatever he was told.
Lu Yinzhao, holding his tablet, sat down in a corner and began to draw.
His family doesn't know yet that he actually enjoys painting.
He used to draw mostly on paper, but had never drawn on a tablet before. Now that he had the opportunity, he found it novel and started exploring the drawing software by tapping around on the tablet with the stylus.
"Zhao Zhao, what are you playing? If there's anything you don't know how to do, your brother can help you." Xiang Zhiyun walked over and sat down next to Zhao Zhao.
