5. Scientist Dad 5
Li Jinhua said with a look of understanding, "Ever since we came back from our last dinner, we've been in this sticky state."
Uncle Cheng had invited them to dinner several times, either at a restaurant or at his house. Uncle Cheng was a very kind man and loved Xiao Ye very much, so it was no surprise that Xiao Ye was so attached to him.
They all knew that Uncle Cheng's job was to develop robots, and Xiaoyi was Uncle Cheng's creation. So, they'd always suspected that Xiaoye and Uncle Cheng's previous relationship had been strained because of this. Xiaoye's parents had divorced, and Xiaoye had gone with her mother. Uncle Cheng's work didn't allow him to visit Xiaoye often, and the parent-child relationship had become strained. This is how scientist dads on TV often play out.
At first, they didn't know much about Cheng Ye's family situation. They only knew that his parents divorced years ago. His mother remarried, and it's likely that her relationship with her stepfather wasn't particularly good. He never mentioned it, and he stayed in the dormitory during the holidays. As for Cheng Ye's biological father, Cheng Ye never mentioned him. Over the past six months, the two seemed to have untied their ties, their relationship blossoming, and Cheng Ye became more and more lively.
At this time, in Cheng Ye's room.
Cheng Ye sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Cheng Jiu on the other side of the video, and said obediently: "I know, Dad. It's just a variety show, what's there to be nervous about? I'm not nervous at all. It's an old show, very formal. Besides, Brother Jinhua and Brother Xingteng are here."
"It's precisely because it's an old show that it's prone to trouble. Many of its viewers are old fans who tend to resist new guests." Cheng Jiu warned his son.
Cheng Ye was a little unconvinced. He just wanted to be a guest to warm up the party and it wouldn't harm anyone's interests. His father was overthinking it.
But he did not refute Cheng Jiu, and responded, "I know, Dad." A father who loves to worry is really a sweet trouble.

It is late autumn now, the weather is cool and the breeze is gentle, but the Dacheng Airport in City C is particularly crowded. The whole Dacheng Airport is surrounded by a group of crazy boys and girls, and they scream from time to time.
"Ye Ye, Ye Ye, I love you ah ah ah"
"Ahhh, Brother Ye, you're so handsome! Look at me, look at me!"
"Ye Ye baby, mommy loves you! You have to be fine!"
The crowded airport made it even harder to move. A tall, slender man wearing a black mask and a black duckbill hat, who looked thin, walked slowly out of the airport, heavily escorted by several bodyguards and assistants.
A, B, and C watched the fans chasing after the crowd with their phones and cameras, taking photos and videos, and wondered in their hearts which celebrity was stuck in airport traffic again.
Cheng Ye got into the nanny car, took off his mask and hat to reveal his delicate face. He stretched out his long, straight legs, leaned back in the seat and slowly exhaled.
Assistant Li Feng took the mask and hat, looked at Cheng Ye, who was dozing with her eyes closed, and said with concern: "Cheng Ye, you should get some rest first. I'll call you when we get there. Brother Gu said you should get some rest for the next two days. The movie "Dao Si" is about to start shooting, so you need to be in good condition." Then he handed over the Bluetooth headset. Cheng Ye looked tired and haggard after three days without a good rest.
Six months ago, the fantasy drama "Thousand Flowers," adapted from a famous online novel, became a huge hit. Along with it, several of the actors and stars involved in the show became incredibly popular. Cheng Ye was one of them, playing the second male lead, An Yuyan. An Yuyan's character is both beautiful and tragic, but most importantly, his deep, unrepentant love. Despite being the second male lead, he has a significant role, and the plot is also endearing, making him a truly compelling character.
After the broadcast of "Thousands of Flowers", due to good publicity, trailers, behind-the-scenes footage, concerts, and meet-and-greets followed one after another. Half a year has passed and the popularity is still high. From time to time, it will be on the hot search because of some trivial things. This is the first time in history.
After Cheng Ye's rise to fame, fans dug up his profile. He went abroad as a trainee at 13 and debuted with the singing group ENOY at 17, though his popularity remained tepid until the group disbanded shortly thereafter. At 19, he landed the role of An Yuyan, which catapulted him to stardom.
The 21-year-old Cheng Ye has matured a lot. His face has become more delicate after losing the fat, and his temperament is cold and noble, but when he smiles, he is still so clean and cute.
After the broadcast of "Thousands of Flowers", his fan base has been increasing rapidly.
As the saying goes, fame brings gossip, and after Cheng Ye's rise to fame, there were always some discordant voices. His status as the stepson of Kangchen Entertainment's CEO, Zhao Kang, became a weak point for trolls to attack him. He acted like a big shot, bullied newcomers, and exploited his power to bully others. It's no wonder Kangchen Entertainment didn't hire him.
Some say a stepson is just a stepson, and can never compare to a true heir. Strangely, these negative rumors were quickly cleared up. Some netizens speculated that he had a major financial backer, while others speculated that the boss of Kangchen Entertainment hadn't given up on his stepson. His previous actions were merely training him, but he was actually secretly helping him.
Regardless of which hypothesis is true, neither of the two main people responded. However, these negative news did cause him to lose a lot of casual fans, and the remaining ones are mostly fans of his looks and die-hard fans.
Actually, this is a good thing, as it can help to purify Cheng Ye’s fans a lot.
Cheng Ye returned to his Tiancheng Mansion villa. As soon as he entered, something grabbed his foot. He bent down, picked up the chubby white robot dog, and walked toward the sofa, saying, "Is Xiaoyi waiting for him at the door? So cute!" He hadn't brought Xiaoyi with him on this trip, as it was quite far. He missed him so much.
The robot dog is only the size of a palm, its eyes twinkle with a faint light, and a cheerful baby voice comes out of the loudspeaker in its mouth.
"Xiaoyi only went to the door to wait for his brother after he received the radio signals indicating that his brother was approaching! (●''●)!"
Xiaoyi jumped from Cheng Ye's lap onto the sofa and continued, "I heard that you're tired and hungry and need to eat and rest. What would you like to eat? Xiaoyi has ordered takeout for you. The bath water is ready. You can take a bath first and then come out to eat." Caring for your brother's health is its duty and the reason why its owner created it.
Li Feng sat on the sofa across from him, gazing at the robot dog with envy. For the nth time, he asked Cheng Ye, "Cheng Ye, just tell me how I can buy a robot dog as smart as Xiaoyi!" Li Feng raised three fingers in a gesture of oath.
I'm so envious! I want it so badly! I wonder when this high-tech product will be available on the market. He's been eagerly awaiting the release of this machine for two years. Ever since he learned about its functions, he's been eyeing it eagerly. How easy is it for him?
When I first saw Xiaoyi, I thought it was just an ordinary robot dog, the kind you could buy on the market. But after spending more time with it, I realized it wasn't just any robot dog; it was an all-powerful butler! I was completely stunned.
Itinerary management: Xiaoyi can get Cheng Ye’s itinerary based on the data on his mobile phone, and then make reasonable arrangements. He can also formulate the best route based on the current situation and send it to your mobile phone in real time.
Robot Vacuum: Every morning, it automatically transforms into a robot vacuum to clean the house, keeping it spotless. The plants inside and outside the house are also kept thriving and beautifully trimmed.
Almighty Encyclopedia: It can search for information online very quickly and accurately. Even some obscure information that is difficult to find online can be found with it. The most amazing thing is that as soon as negative information about Cheng Ye appears on the Internet, it can get the basic information of the person who spreads the negative information based on the ID in the first time, and send it to Cheng Ye's mobile phone for his decision.
Safety Butler: Xiaoyi can use scanning to determine whether a person is sick or unwell, the basic causes of the disease and simple treatment methods, and many other functions.
Once, Li Feng bought a glass of fruit juice cold drink for Cheng Ye.
Xiaoyi, who was sitting on the sofa next to Cheng Ye, suddenly warned him that the cold drink contained passion fruit, as Cheng Ye was allergic to it. Li Feng was startled, thinking he might be in trouble. He had indeed told the waiter not to use passion fruit. From Xiaoyi's information, he knew that the cold drink contained a small amount of passion fruit, likely from a mix of freshly squeezed juice.
Even more outrageous was a time when a fire broke out next door. Xiaoyi immediately activated the fire alarm in the villa where the fire was located and called 119. Fortunately, the firefighters, though curious about Xiaoyi, didn't ask too many questions, thinking it was a new electronic product on the market.
Jealous? Want it? Li Feng nodded without hesitation.
Li Feng had also asked Cheng Ye where he could buy a robot dog. He wanted one, even if it was a bit pricey. With such a wide range of features, the price was reasonable. High-tech products like these, not available on the market, usually require special channels to purchase. That's why he asked Cheng Ye so eagerly.
It’s a pity that Cheng Ye didn’t tell him where to buy it.
Cheng Ye rolled his eyes at Li Feng and ignored him.
I've told him many times that it's not sold in the market.
Two years ago, his father, Cheng Jiu, joined the National Research Institute. Cheng Jiu had rarely contacted him in the past two years, citing confidentiality as the reason. Cheng Ye thought he was probably researching something impressive.
Then, looking at the adorable Xiaoyi lying on the sofa, he curled his lips, poked the circle of light on its round head with his finger and said, "Brother wants to eat Chenji beef noodles, a big bowl, and the mango cake from 'Xiangyue'." Only at home could Cheng Ye fully relax. This period of time had really exhausted him.
Xiaoyi's round eyes flickered, as if blinking. He shook his round head and said, "Okay, brother, I'll deliver it in half an hour. And brother, don't keep poking Xiaoyi's energy source, Xiaoyi will be shy!" After that, his body flushed a light pink, and even the halo on his head turned red.
I'm really getting shy! Cheng Ye chuckled.
Li Feng couldn't hold it in any longer, he quickly rushed over to the other side, hugged Xiaoyi and lowered his head to kiss her. How adorable!
"Help! Beast! Someone is bullying Xiaoyi! Activate level one defense immediately! Angry!" Xiaoyi screamed in a very human way. She looked like a decent woman being bullied by a bully, leaving Cheng Ye at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Ah!" Li Feng's hands felt numb and he quickly threw Xiaoyi onto the sofa.
Li Feng grinned, shook his numb hands and exclaimed, "Hoohoo! Xiaoyi! You've charmed Brother Li Feng again! You're so cute that I couldn't help but kiss you! Don't you like me?"
Li Feng complained bitterly. Every time he kissed it, the little thing would give him an electric shock. It was so sweet when it usually beckoned him to take care of its brother. He was also its brother, so why didn't he love him? It hurt!
Cheng Ye wiped the saliva off Xiao Yi with a disgusted look on his face. "Li Feng, stay away from Xiao Yi! Are you dirty?" He had been shocked by Xiao Yi so many times, but he still didn't learn his lesson. A typical example of forgetting the pain after the wound has healed.
