Chapter 72 Chapter 72 King of Rolls Dad 14
When the food was served, Zhuozhuo was very enthusiastic and said in a baby voice, "It smells so good."
Rong Yi picked up a piece of milk tofu for Zhuo Zhuo. She bit into it with a whimper, squinting her eyes and giggling, "It's delicious."
This happy little look made Rong Yi's tiredness from the whole day disappear. He smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. Eat well and you will grow taller."
Zhou Huasheng's lips curled up as he also picked up a piece of milk tofu and said calmly, "My chef can also make milk tofu, sweet ones, and we also have a variety of Chinese and Western desserts. You can come to my house when you get home."
"Okay, thanks, Peanut." Zhuozhuo said, holding up the milk tofu he had taken a few bites of. "This one's salty."
Zhou Huasheng thought Zhuozhuo meant that she preferred salty food, so he said, "My chef can learn how to make salty milk tofu and make it as delicious as this."
"This is the best." Zhuozhuo said childishly, "It's best when Daddy eats with Zhuozhuo."
9972 complained bitterly, "Good fellow, everyone's competing in skill, and you're here talking about feelings. Unethical, cheating, huh."
The three people present were all stunned. The child’s sincere love and straightforward expression were so touching and overwhelming.
Rong Yi hadn't realized how much Zhuozhuo liked him. She'd been so indifferent during their video call that morning. The responsibility on his shoulders had grown heavier, but he felt a warm energy well up within him. He made up his mind and said gently, "Daddy will eat with Zhuozhuo every day from now on."
"Okay!" Zhuozhuo cheered and started eating happily.
Zhou Huasheng looked at this heartwarming scene of loving father and filial daughter and tried to explain it scientifically. The stomach is an emotional organ, and good or bad moods can affect appetite. Zhuozhuo, a foodie who could devour food even when sulking, was naturally attracted to the idea that every bite was delicious when he was happy.
Moreover, Rong Yi is Zhuo Zhuo's father whom he flew for four hours to see. This has a positive effect on his emotions, which is equivalent to a positive effect on his appetite. It is the same as some kitchen killers who think the food they cook is delicious.
Just a filter.
After figuring it out, Zhou Huasheng glanced at Rong Yi lightly and indifferently. He was just taking advantage of his status.
After dinner, Rong Yi rushed back to the set to film a night scene. She held Zhuo Zhuo and said goodbye to Zhou Huasheng. Suddenly, Zhuo Zhuo kicked and tried to get down. Confused, Rong Yi put Zhuo Zhuo down on the ground. She immediately ran to Zhou Huasheng and said mysteriously, "Brother Peanut, let's go watch Dad perform."
Zhou Huasheng shook his head and politely declined, "The hotel Grandpa Zhao booked is quite far from the crew, so I won't go. I can watch the movie at home when it's released."
"It's different." Zhuozhuo tried his best to invite him. Standing on tiptoe, he leaned on Zhou Huasheng's shoulder and whispered, "My dad's an amazing actor. Brother Peanut, come on over."
Zhou Huasheng couldn't stand Zhuo Zhuo's coquettishness, so he nodded and said with a wandering look, "I think I have a house near the crew, so I can go live there."
Butler Zhao behind him sent a text message with a smile, saying that the young master has given the order, and if you don’t have it, you have to buy it now.
Zhuozhuo was very happy, but covered his mouth and whispered, "Don't praise Dad. If you praise him, he will like work more. That won't work."
Zhou Huasheng was once again touched by Zhuozhuo's little thought of "wanting to show off to his father but worrying that he would become obsessed with work." He nodded solemnly with a stern face, "Okay."
Rong Yi's smile faded as he watched Zhou Huasheng, hand in hand with Zhuozhuo, ride to the set together. Was this guy too much for Zhuozhuo? Zhuozhuo wasn't even this enthusiastic towards Zhang Qi. Was she feeling too lonely without anyone her own age to play with?
It just so happens that there are three child stars in this crew, and Zhuozhuo can get to know them.
When she arrived at the crew, Zhuozhuo immediately attracted everyone's attention. She stood close to Rong Yi's legs with a little fear. After being picked up by Rong Yi, she hid her face in his shoulders and neck, leaving her eyes exposed to observe secretly.
"Don't be afraid, Zhuozhuo. They like you." Rong Yi gently stroked Zhuozhuo's back to comfort her.
"Really?"
"Really? Everyone's been wanting to meet Zhuo Zhuo for a long time." Fang Zheng, the crew's director, was incredibly kind to Rong Yi, having given him his first official, name-and-name role. The crew members on Fang Zheng's crew were all veterans, creating a great atmosphere.
Zhuozhuo was very happy. After realizing that everyone's gazes were not malicious, he immediately turned into a social expert, sitting upright on Rong Yi's arms, waving his little hands, and said in a baby voice: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhuozhuo, I came to watch Daddy perform!"
Everyone smiled kindly, and someone responded, "Hello, Zhuozhuo."
Zhuozhuo had been in a state of excitement since she saw Rong Yi at the airport. The attention she was receiving made her suddenly excited. She pointed at Rong Yi and said, "This is Daddy. Daddy's name is Rong Yi!"
"Oh, so Zhuozhuo's father is Rong Yi." Everyone smiled and cooperated with Zhuozhuo.
Zhuozhuo nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, then pointed at Zhou Huasheng and said, "This is Peanut Brother, and Peanut Brother's name is Peanut Porridge!"
Zhou Huasheng, who suddenly became the focus of attention, "..."
Zhuozhuo, please shut up. Thank you, brother.
Rong Yi missed half a day of filming, leaving Zhuo Zhuo in the hands of Guo Xuezhong before heading to the dressing room to get ready for her role. Zhuo Zhuo, acting like the master of her craft, effortlessly dragged Zhou Huasheng around the set, as if patrolling her territory. She also flashed a lovable smile to everyone she saw, prompting many to offer her snacks.
Zhuozhuo accepted everything and stuffed them into Zhou Huasheng's arms. Zhou Huasheng awkwardly gathered a bag of gummy candies that was about to fall out of his arms and emphasized to Zhuozhuo, "I don't want to eat them. Don't give them to me anymore."
"Zhuozhuo, eat it." Zhuozhuo looked at Zhou Huasheng pitifully. "Brother Peanut, can you hold it for Zhuozhuo?"
In the previous crew, Rong Yi specifically told everyone not to give snacks to Zhuo Zhuo, but he forgot to say it today, and there was a shield next to Zhuo Zhuo. She was like a little mouse falling into a rice jar, so happy.
Zhou Huasheng discovered that Zhuozhuo seemed to have found a way to deal with him, acting like a spoiled child at every turn. He pursed his lips and said stubbornly, "Take a few bags too. I can't hold any more."
"No way." Zhuozhuo raised his little hand and shook it, "Zhuozhuo wants to shake hands to earn snacks."
Yes, Zhuozhuo’s way of patrolling is to smile and shake hands with people like a leader inspecting.
Zhuozhuo hadn't planned on this at first, but a six or seven-year-old child actress said she wanted to pinch Zhuozhuo's face and offered her a bag of marshmallows if she did. Zhuozhuo said she couldn't pinch his face because it would make her drool, but she could pinch his hands.
After earning his first pot of gold, Zhuozhuo tentatively reached out to an unfamiliar female assistant and said with a smile, "Sister, can you give me a handshake?"
"Pinch!" The female assistant was so adorable that she tried hard not to turn into a weird aunt. She pinched the soft little hand with a happy look on her face and contributed a can of biscuits and a bag of potato chips.
After that, Zhuozhuo seemed to have opened the door to a new world, smiling and inviting everyone he met to pinch hands. Of course, thanks to 9972 and Zhou Huasheng's reminder, Zhuozhuo only gave pinches to girls. Seeing that the two children had too many snacks to handle, the people behind them even brought bags to put them in.
When Zhuozhuo came back from a week of touring, Rong Yi had already started filming. She quickly took Rong Yi to stand next to the director and whispered excitedly, "Look, look, Brother Peanut, look at daddy!"
Rong Yi's guest role is a swordsman who is both good and evil. He has superb martial arts skills, a tragic life experience, and an evil appearance. He is a typical example of a beautiful, strong and tragic man.
Under the spotlight, Rong Yi's long hair cascaded like a waterfall, his handsome features rendered incomparably gorgeous. Every gesture carried a wicked aura, and even a glance could captivate. A true demonic swordsman appeared here, and this was no more than he.
Zhuozhuo also saw Rong Yi like this for the first time. He held his little face in his hands and watched in fascination, reacting to Rong Yi's actions and lines, and wishing he could go over and act with him. After the scene was finished, Zhuozhuo came to his senses and pulled Zhou Huasheng to whisper, "My dad is so amazing, so great!"
Zhou Huasheng nodded, "Mr. Rong's acting is very good."
Rong Yi had plenty of haters, but no one had ever criticized him more for his acting than for his acting skills. Watching it live was even more shocking than the finished film. For a moment, Zhou Huasheng felt like he was in a turbulent inn, so nervous that he held his breath.
"Then don't hate my dad." Zhuozhuo said seriously, "My dad is great, you like him, okay?"
Zhou Huasheng suddenly realized that Zhuozhuo invited him to watch Rong Yi's performance because he saw that he had some opinions about Rong Yi, so he hoped that he could see Rong Yi's excellent side and change his opinion of him.
Zhou Huasheng was silent for a while and looked at Rong Yi. Rong Yi was looking at Zhuozhuo with a gentle look that was filled with affection.
"I don't hate Mr. Rong, I just have some misunderstandings about him. I thought he treated you badly and was irresponsible."
Zhuo Zhuo, with the help of 9972's translation, tried hard to understand Zhou Huasheng's words. She said confidently, "My father is very good to me. He is responsible. If he is irresponsible, he will be arrested by the police and go to jail."
It was hard to tell whether Zhuozhuo was confident in the first or the second sentence. Skipping Zhuozhuo's words, Zhou Huasheng whispered, "Yeah, I see."
Zhuozhuo was very proud of having solved such a big problem. She waved to Zhou Huasheng and said, "Zhuozhuo is going to find dad. Goodbye, Brother Huasheng."
"Huh?" Zhou Huasheng was a bit taken aback. Zhuozhuo's behavior was like inviting someone to his home and then abandoning them mid-sentence. In Zhou Huasheng's short six years of life, he had never seen anything like it.
Zhuozhuo simply thought she was saying goodbye to her playmates. Seeing Zhou Huasheng didn't move, she asked curiously, "Brother Huasheng, didn't your mom come to take you home?"
"...I can go home by myself."
"Brother Peanut is awesome!" Zhuozhuo clapped his hands like a seal, "Great!"
Rong Yi couldn't help but laugh as he walked over. This little guy was quite good at unintentionally irritating people. He said to Butler Zhao, "I just asked, and there's an executive suite vacant in the hotel the crew rented. Do you want to stay there?"
Butler Zhao asked Zhou Huasheng about his decision. Zhou Huasheng glanced at Zhuozhuo and saw that she looked stupid and had no reaction. He said in a low voice, "We won't stay here anymore. Let's go to Jiade Bay and go home early tomorrow." Jiade Bay is a hotel next to the airport.
Zhuozhuo waved again and said energetically, "Goodbye, Brother Peanut! Goodbye, Grandpa Zhao!"
"Goodbye Zhuozhuo. Goodbye Mr. Rong." Zhou Huasheng turned around, a hint of depression in his eyes, as if he was being used and discarded by Zhuozhuo.
"Wait a moment--"
Suddenly, Zhuozhuo called from behind. Zhou Huasheng turned around immediately and saw Zhuozhuo struggling to pick up the bag of snacks. He said generously, "Brother Peanut, I'll give some to you."
Zhou Huasheng didn't want to accept it at first, but when he saw Zhuozhuo's eyes lingering on the snack bag, he didn't know what to think, so he reached out and hugged it, "Thank you."
He took it too quickly, and Zhuozhuo's hands were still holding something, looking stupid.
Zhou Huasheng, feeling that his behavior was out of character, was in a heavy mood. He was about to leave with the bag of snacks when Zhuozhuo suddenly grabbed his clothes and said pitifully, "Brother Peanut, we're good friends, let's share half."
"Are we good friends?"
"Super good friends." Zhuozhuo was afraid that he didn't express himself clearly, so he opened his arms and drew a big circle to show the degree.
Zhou Huasheng suddenly became cheerful. He opened the bag of snacks and said, "You choose."
There was a dazzling array of snacks. Zhuozhuo took this and wanted that, picking and choosing, hesitating for a long time. Suddenly, Zhou Huasheng held his hand and said seriously, "Zhuozhuo, there are a total of 26 bags of snacks in the bag, and you took out 13 bags."
Seeing that Zhuozhuo didn't understand, Zhou Huasheng said, "You've already taken half."
The smile on Zhuozhuo's face instantly collapsed, and he wilted like a flower that had lost its water. Without constraints and supervision, children have almost no self-control. Zhuozhuo immediately resorted to his old trick, "Brother Peanut—brother takes care of sister, and we share half."
There are many reasons.
Zhou Huasheng couldn't help laughing, and then he let go of her hand and said, "You take it."
"Thank you, Peanut!"
But before Zhuozhuo could take any snacks, Rong Yi coughed and said, "Zhuozhuo, you can't take any more."
"Brother Peanut asked me to take it." Zhuozhuo raised his head and argued.
Zhou Huasheng nodded in agreement.
Rong Yi squatted down, pointed at the snacks and asked Zhuo Zhuo, "Who gave him this bag of snacks?"
"Zhuozhuo, did Dad forget?"
"Zhuozhuo has already given the snacks to Brother Peanut. How can he ask for them back? Doesn't Zhuozhuo really want to share them with Brother Peanut?" Rong Yi gently guided Zhuozhuo to reflect on his behavior.
"I want to give it to my brother." Zhuozhuo shook his head and said anxiously.
"So are you bullying your brother?"
"No! Zhuozhuo doesn't bully others!" Zhuozhuo was angry and aggrieved, with tears in his eyes, and he was about to cry.
Rong Yi quickly hugged Zhuozhuo and coaxed her, "Dad knows Zhuozhuo won't bully others, but sometimes you take advantage of your beauty to do evil."
Zhuozhuo was indeed attracted by the unfamiliar words, "What is Xiongxiong?"
"What I mean is, Zhuozhuo is so cute that no one else can refuse his request, so we Zhuozhuo have to restrain ourselves."
Zhuozhuo thought for a while and said doubtfully, "Zhuozhuo wants some snacks. Can I ask Dad for some?"
"Sure, you can have as much as you want, because Daddy is here to satisfy all of his children's reasonable needs." Rong Yi's education was full of selfishness. "In Daddy's eyes, anything Zhuozhuo wants is reasonable, and Zhuozhuo can make a request at any time."
"Can't I ask my brother for it?"
"No. But we can exchange."
Hearing this, Zhou Huasheng, who was being used as educational material, couldn't help but speak up, "Zhuozhuo, we are good friends. We can give each other gifts. I'll give you all the remaining snacks."
"Give a gift?" Zhuozhuo heard a new word.
Rong Yi said: "You can accept gifts from others, but you can't accept too many." Of course, this is not absolute. The amount of gifts mainly depends on the depth of the friendship between the two people. This requires Zhuozhuo to explore it on his own during the process of growing up.
Zhuozhuo suddenly realized, "Zhuozhuo is asking for too much. You're just being greedy." She looked at Zhou Huasheng and said seriously in her baby voice, "Brother Peanut, you can't give them all to Zhuozhuo. You can only give one."
Zhou Huasheng pursed his lips and said, "Okay."
