Chapter 99
Big tears rolled down Jiaojiao's red eyes. Feeling aggrieved by her father's scolding, Jiaojiao clutched her father's clothes with her little hands and buried her head in her father's arms.
Li Yubai, whose clothes were soaked, was afraid that he would have difficulty breathing if buried in his arms, so he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the back of his collar.
After being picked up by her father, Jiaojiao looked up at him in a daze, with tearful eyes, looking so pitiful.
In the live broadcast room, netizens who claimed to be Jiaojiao's mother, aunt, uncle, brother, and sister saw Jiaojiao crying, and they were so distressed that they slammed the table. They didn't even care that their hands were red and painful, and they waved their fingers and sent out several condemning comments.
This is outrageous! Does Li Yubai even know how to raise a cub? Not only did he not comfort Jiaozi at this moment, but he actually yelled at Jiaozi and spanked him?!
At the Jun family, Jun Che, who was holding a tablet, frowned when he saw Jiaojiao crying, and his impression of Jiaojiao as a father became bad.
When he saw the comments about changing Jiaojiao's father, his eyes lit up and he turned to look at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, let's adopt Jiaojiao. I'll be Jiaojiao's father then!"
The corner of Grandpa Jun's mouth twitched when he heard this. He looked down at his five-year-old grandson and said, "Adoption is negotiable, but you are too young to be Jiaojiao's father."
"Then you take charge, grandpa." Jun Che suggested.
"Grandpa, I'm too old to be a father."
"Then let my uncle... forget it. My uncle is never home for three days and he is not fit to be a good father." Jun Che rejected his uncle and took out his address book, determined to find a good father for Jiaojiao who would not beat or scold him.
While Xiaojun was flipping through the address book to find a father for Jiaojiao.
On the rocky beach, Li Yubai, who was unaware of all this, looked down and saw Jiaojiao crying pitifully, and the scolding in his mouth instantly disappeared.
Along with the fear and anger in my heart, they were all released in an instant as if a floodgate had been opened, and a slight sense of annoyance emerged from nowhere.
"Why are you crying?" He raised his hand to wipe the tears from Jiaojiao's face and asked in a lowered voice.
"No...I didn't cry." Jiaojiao, grabbing her father's clothes, shook her head and refused to admit that she cried.
Li Yubai felt amused and handed his wet hand to Jiaojiao: "I didn't cry, whose tears are these?"
Jiaojiao looked down, then pursed her lips, sniffed, turned her head away and said guiltily: "No... I don't know... It's not... Jiaojiao's."
As she spoke, she was still shedding tears of grievance.
Seeing that his little face was red from crying, Li Yubai frowned slightly. For a moment, he wondered if he had not controlled the strength well enough and hit him too hard.
Thinking of this, he unzipped Jiaojiao's pants and took a quick look. Seeing that Jiaojiao's butt was not red or swollen, he breathed a sigh of relief.
His gaze then fell on Jiaojiao's increasingly aggrieved expression as she cried, and he thought that if she wasn't hurt by the beating, then she must have been frightened by his tone and expression just now.
The netizens in the live broadcast room only saw a flash of whiteness and tenderness. After they were stunned for a moment and realized what had just happened, they immediately condemned it angrily.
"You actually peeked at my little butt?!!"
"You spanked my kid, and you peeked at him?!"
"It's fine if you're just peeking, but you can't even tell us apart! I'm telling you, my patience has its limits!!"
"To do such a cruel thing in public is a sign of moral decay or a decline in humanity."
After returning to the rocky beach from the Evil Dragon Terrace and comforting Yaoyao who had just come downstairs, Shi Yue saw Jiaojiao crying pitifully in Li Yubai's arms, so she walked over and offered her hand, "Let me comfort her!"
Hearing this, Li Yubai, thinking that women are indeed better at coaxing children, handed Jiaojiao out of his arms.
When she found out that her father was going to teach her to Aunt Shiyue, Jiaojiao, who was already aggrieved, suddenly felt even more sad. She looked up at her father pitifully and said haltingly, "No... no... Auntie..."
Seeing his aggrieved and sad look, Li Yubai, feeling helpless, simply sat cross-legged on the ground, holding Jiaojiao's small body in his arms. He patted his back with one hand and wiped the tears from his eyes with the other. His usually cold tone was a little helpless: "Don't cry, dear, don't cry..."
Jiaojiao, coaxed by her father, raised her little hand and wiped away her tears: "No...I didn't cry."
"Okay, I didn't cry." Li Yubai said, patting Jiaojiao's back gently, "Let's talk about why you cried, okay?"
"Dad, you're so fierce, Jiaojiao." Jiaojiao, whose nose was red from crying, sniffed and looked at her father with her big eyes filled with grievance and sadness.
As expected, Li Yubai sighed softly and wiped away the tears that were about to fall from Jiaojiao's eyes with his fingertips: "Well, I won't be so mean in the future. I will talk to you properly, okay?"
"Dad... Dad doesn't want to hold Jiaojiao yet." Jiaojiao continued to complain.
Li Yubai, who hadn't expected this to happen, rubbed Jiaojiao's fluffy hair with a mixture of laughter and tears: "I didn't want to hold you, but my clothes are wet, and it would be hard for you to breathe if you were buried in them. I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable, so I held you and wouldn't let you get out."
"Really?" Jiaojiao tilted her head doubtfully. "Then Dad doesn't dislike Jiaojiao either?"
Jiaojiao, who always thought her father was mean to her because he didn't like her, asked.
"Really!" Li Yubai hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not like I don't like you either."
Hearing that her father didn't dislike her, Jiaojiao was instantly coaxed and giggled twice.
She supported herself on her father's hand and stood up from his lap. She stood on tiptoe and rubbed her wet face against his. Her little voice, still with a hint of tears, said in a broken voice: "Jiaojiao, be good and obedient. Don't catch snakes in the future. Daddy is not mean. Jiaojiao didn't cry, the tears came out on their own. Jiaojiao is very good. Daddy must like Jiaojiao."
The netizens who saw this scene in the live broadcast room screamed.
'Jiaojiao is good, Jiaojiao is good, our Jiaozi is the best!'
"It's all because of the tears that they ran out on their own. Auntie will take care of them later!"
"Such a cute little baby, how could you bear to make him cry!"
"If this were my child, I would hit myself if he cried!"
'This baby voice with a little crying tone melts my heart!'
'My little one is so cute!'
"This is the first child whose crying not only doesn't annoy me, but actually makes me feel distressed!"
'Although it's not appropriate, I still want to use the word "pitiful" to describe the crying Jiaozi!'
On the rocky beach, Li Yubai was stunned when his face was suddenly rubbed with tears. His little finger couldn't help but curl up. Although the tears on Jiaojiao's little face were slightly cool, he inexplicably had the illusion that he was burned.
He tilted his head back slightly, created some distance, and then looked down at Jiaojiao, who was looking at him with her big eyes in his arms.
After being washed by tears, these dark eyes were clearer than the sky after rain. The sunlight falling from the clouds reflected on the river surface, as if it had sprinkled fine light in these eyes, and every side of these lights was filled with his figure.
Li Yubai lowered his eyes and no longer looked at those eyes.
Seeing that her father did not agree to like her, Jiaojiao pursed her lips in disappointment, then her eyes lit up as if she suddenly thought of something. She took her father's hand with her little hand, held his fingers and gently pried open his palm bit by bit.
Feeling puzzled by his actions, Li Yubai cooperated by spreading out his palms.
Seeing her father's palm open, Jiaojiao quickly lowered her head and felt in her pocket in front of her belly. When she stretched out her hand again, she was holding two candies.
Jiaojiao put the candy in her father's hand and continued to reach into his pocket.
All the candies were given by Cao Yuhao. There were only six in total. After taking them out three times, he gave them all to Li Yubai.
Jiaojiao, who couldn't find any candy in her pocket, patted it, then raised her head to look at her father's expression and said in a childish voice, "From now on, all the candy from Jiaojiao will be given to Dad. Dad should like Jiaojiao too, okay?"
Li Yubai glanced at the candy in his hand, then turned his head to look at Jiaojiao's eyes filled with expectation. After a moment of silence, he reached out and took off Jiaojiao's earphones, then said, "Why should I like you?"
He didn't think his love was that good! At least he thought that the shallow love born from his lack of emotions was not as important as all the candies a child had!
Jiaojiao blinked, a little confused by the question. After thinking for a while, she looked up with bright eyes and said, "Because Jiaojiao, I like you very much, I like you the most, Daddy!"
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands: "It's so big, so much love, so Dad, you have to like Jiaojiao too."
Li Yubai looked into Jiaojiao's eyes, those dark eyes were filled with the purest and brightest love and dependence.
Quite domineering!
He thought nonsensically, but he couldn't deny that his heartbeat slowed down a beat because of what the little guy said. Although it resumed the beat the next second, the original rhythm was still out of sync.
He looked at the candy in his hand. For the first time in his life, someone was willing to use all the candies to exchange for his love, which he lacked so much, without any ulterior motive.
An unspeakable emotion sprouted from the softened corner of the heart, then covered the entire heart, changing the rhythm of the heartbeat.
He suddenly touched the corners of Jiaojiao's eyes with his fingertips, looked at the eyes full of him, and whispered: "Okay!"
Hearing his father's promise, Jiaojiao smiled so hard that his eyes curved into crescents. He tilted his head and placed his face on his father's hand, rubbing it with his head. Then he looked up and shouted with sparkling eyes, "Dad!"
Li Yubai was silent for a moment, then nodded softly, responding to the call of "Dad".
The happy Jiaojiao touched her butt with her little hand and said seriously: "Dad, spanking Jiaojiao is not good, I won't spank her anymore!"
Li Yubai raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Okay, no fighting!"
He thought that he might be able to support this child, and not only that, he might be able to support the child well!
'What the hell are they talking about? What the hell are they talking about?!'
"Damn it! He actually took off Zizi's headset. What were they whispering about?!"
'I'm so curious!'
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that Li is so handsome at this moment. Someone come and wake me up!"
"You're not the only one. I think he's so handsome, too. Crazy handsome!"
"What's going on? Is it the temptation of getting wet?!"
"I think it's because Li Zhou's aura has softened a bit, making his aggression less intense, thus drawing our attention to his face!"
"You mean he's always been this handsome? Was I blind before?!"
"First of all, I'm not an expert. Secondly, human instinct tends to be self-preservative. Li's aura is too aggressive and dangerous, so when most people first see him, they only notice his aura and blur his features. If what I said before is wrong, just treat it as a joke, because I'm not an expert!"
"One word from you is worth more than one word!"
The heavy clouds in the sky dispersed, and the golden sunlight fell. Li Yubai, who was sitting cross-legged on the rocky beach, had his eyebrows slightly lowered, and his back was bent in beautiful lines. The sunlight coming from the side was like an angle carefully chosen by the photographer, outlining the superiority of his bone structure even more extreme.
The white, tender and cute cub was lying on his legs, looking up with difficulty to say something to him. From this angle, its tender and clear eyes looked like they were filled with stars.
The man lowered his eyes to look at the cub, and his fierceness faded away. His slender and powerful hands rubbed the cub's furry black hair.
The staff member carrying a camera nearby was bewitched by this scene and couldn't help but take a few steps closer. Li Yubai noticed it and turned his head to look. After realizing that it was a staff member, he remembered that he was still filming the program.
He glanced at his wet clothes, then looked at Jiaojiao's clothes that were wet because she had been with him, then he stood up, picked up Jiaojiao, and walked towards the director, whispering something to the director.
Just when netizens were curious about what he and the director were talking about, the director nodded, and then the live broadcast was suddenly interrupted.
After being stunned for a second, the netizens came back to their senses and couldn’t help but shout “Fuck!” from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Yubai actually went to ask the director to shut down the live broadcast?!
It’s a pity that they were licking his face in the barrage before!
All her conscience has been thrown away... Woohoo, her cub, she hasn’t seen enough!
Li Yubai, who was unaware of the grief and anger of netizens, calmly carried Jiaojiao into the program crew's car and rushed to the small building with a group of frightened guests.
