Chapter 66
[Leng Zhi: Tang Jiao, are you interested in changing jobs lately?]
Tang Wenshi: No.
[The enemy's sharpshooter has eliminated teammate Gongsun Shangxiang!]
[Leng Zhi: Don't misunderstand, I don't think of you as someone like Shen Yingcai. I'm just giving you a heads-up.]
After disembarking from the space chair, Jiang Mingzhe and Meng De, who were in the front and back seats respectively, seemed to have reached a delicate balance of friendship.
"Not bad, didn't make a sound?"
"Hmph, this is really fun!"
"Want to ride again?" The staff member added with a smile, "Little friend, we also need to invite a parent to ride with you. Which one would you like to choose?"
Jiang Yijing and Leng Zhi stood there, exuding an outstanding aura, and both were wearing the same little hats as their son, making it clear at a glance that they were a family.
Before she could finish speaking, Leng Zhi had already taken a step back, leaving Jiang Yijing standing in the front.
Leng Zhi had absolutely no desire to ride on the float with Jiang Mingzhe.
Although he was wearing a mask and hat, Jiang Mingzhe's flamboyant personality and the popularity of the variety show haven't died down yet, so his photos will probably be trending on Weibo again tomorrow.
He was initially indifferent, but after discovering that his teammates had all transmigrated, he clearly felt his authority rapidly declining.
The source of the decline is that brat Jiang Mingzhe.
He couldn't even imagine how many extra views those netizens' edited videos, such as "Cold Brother Taking Care of His Child," "How Jiang Mingzhe Subdued His Cold Stepfather," and "The Stunning Bride You Can't Miss," would get from his teammates who loved to watch the drama unfold.
Having finally made it to the end of the variety show, he didn't want to add any more new material, especially since Meng Cheng was watching it with great amusement.
However, Jiang Mingzhe raised his little hand and pointed precisely at Leng Zhi, who was hiding behind him: "This dad will stay with me."
Leng Zhi: "..." my ass, I definitely won't be here next time, this kid just knows how to mess with his dad.
With a blank expression, Leng Zhi lifted her skirt and walked towards the stage.
Although the prince is the "male lead," his scenes are concentrated in the last scene, while Leng Zhi becomes the main character.
Ryouji's first appearance is in a scene with the hunter.
Snow White appears in a dense forest, followed by hunters with bows and arrows.
Meanwhile, a voice-over reads the narration: "His hair was jet black and smooth, his skin was as white as snow, and his lips were as red as blood. At this moment, the hunter is about to kill this beautiful princess in accordance with the queen's orders."
"Mommy, why is Snow White a big brother?" a child asked their parent.
The little ones chattered away, vividly portraying the adorable nature of the dwarfs.
Snow White: "Of course, no problem. I'm good at all of these things. I guarantee I'll keep the whole house in perfect order."
The little dwarfs, carrying small hoes, lined up and left one by one. The last child had an extra line: "Be careful of strangers in the forest."
Leng Zhi couldn't help but secretly complain that Snow White was the real unlucky stepfather, as he had to do all the work of a butler, cook, driver, and eunuch.
Although it's just a fairy tale, it seems that President Jiang is a reasonable and excellent employer.
The fourth act begins with the curtain rising, revealing a scene between Snow White and the Queen.
A peasant woman knocked on the door of the hut three times in a row.
A poisoned ribbon, a gleaming poisoned comb, and a bright red apple.
Snow White saw through the previous two plots, but in the end she still fell for the apple.
Leng Zhi remained expressionless; having acted for so long, he had already recalled the sequel to this ancient fairy tale:
The princess who eats the poisoned apple will fall into a permanent sleep until the prince comes to save her—with a long, sweet kiss.
It goes without saying who the prince is.
Of course, this is a later version. In the original version created by the Brothers Grimm, the apple was coughed up from the throat when the crystal coffin was shaken.
This version isn't romantic at all, but it's exactly what Ryōji wanted.
After all, they were just a contract couple, not a real romantic relationship. Kissing in public was something that was completely outside the scope of the contract!
The moment he bit into the poisoned apple, his eyes met those of Jiang Yijing, who was slowly putting on his costume and gloves backstage.
Jiang Yijing was focused on preparing for the stage and didn't see Leng Zhi's suggestive glance.
Leng Zhi could only take a big bite out of the prop apple, then lie down on the bed and close his eyes.
Voiceover: "Snow White finally fell for the Queen's trick and fell into an eternal sleep. The dwarfs could only sadly seal her in a crystal coffin."
"Waaah, Princess, I so wish you could wake up."
"This is a crystal coffin that we made for you."
"We will always remember our Snow White!"
The children were excellent actors; they genuinely grieved for the beautiful princess's slumber, and one of the dwarves even cried tears of joy.
That little brat got spoiled for nothing.
Jiang Mingzhe actually wanted Jiang Yijing to accompany him.
However, Leng Zhi's step back only fueled Zai Zai's competitive spirit.
What does this mean? Doesn't my bad dad want to spend time with me? Humph, then I'll insist on having him.
Leng Zhi boarded the float with a stiff face. He wanted to shrink into a corner, but Dr. Ha was a lively and eccentric person.
The doll pulled Leng Zhi and Jiang Mingzhe up, wanting the three of them to hold hands and dance in the car.
Leng Zhi glanced down subconsciously.
Jiang Yijing's expression was hidden in the shadow of the streetlights and could not be seen clearly, but Meng Cheng's movements were very clear.
He held his phone high and started snapping photos of the float.
By the time the parade ended, videos of Leng Zhi and Jiang Mingzhe on the float had already been uploaded online by eagle-eyed fans.
I think it's a good idea!
After lunch, Jiang Mingzhe dragged his two fathers into the souvenir shop.
His goal was clear: he headed straight for the shelf with the plush toy earmuffs.
A group of kids have already gathered here, all choosing their favorite anime characters.
The amusement park offers a variety of activities, including a daily afternoon parade of animated characters on a beautifully decorated float along the central avenue, interacting with visitors on both sides.
The actors in cartoon costumes will invite young visitors wearing matching earmuffs to ride on their vehicles, which is one of the most anticipated attractions for children at the amusement park.
Some adults are also looking forward to their children being selected, because each child will be accompanied by an adult—many adults are even more childlike than the children themselves.
Jiang Mingzhe hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not choose the little fox police hat he liked. Instead, he chose another less popular character—a husky doctor.
Perhaps it was because Leng Zhi had personally won him the doll that he truly appreciated, or perhaps he simply liked the subtle resemblance between the puppy and the bad dad. He happily put on the new hat and dragged the dads to the checkout.
When the checkout line was halfway full, Jiang Mingzhe suddenly turned back and grabbed another identical one.
He held the second hat high and stared intently at Leng Zhi's head.
"Dad, wear this, let's wear it together!"
Leng Zhi's gaze swept over the somewhat silly hat, his eyes filled with disdain.
Under Jiang Mingzhe's expectant gaze, he had no choice but to take the husky earmuff hat, hang it on his head, and say irritably, "Are you satisfied now?"
The top of the earmuff was embroidered with a pair of dead fish eyes, black and white, fluffy and very cute, which perfectly complemented Leng Zhi's subtle expression, making it extremely vivid.
Jiang Mingzhe tugged at the gray fur ball hanging down the side of his cheek and said with a grin, "I like it!"
Jiang Yijing watched the interaction between the two, one big and one small, and felt a mix of emotions.
The lady does look quite cute with those ear flaps on... but he's clearly the closest father to her, so why doesn't he have one?
President Jiang left with a stern face, secretly adding the third identical hat to his shopping cart.
Jiang Mingzhe & Leng Zhi: ?
Just then, the shouts of kindergarten teachers could be heard outside the store:
"Kids, gather together! We're going to play one more ride, then come back for the parade!"
So the parents had no choice but to accompany their kids on a second ride on the Space Flying Chairs.
After the children had finally satisfied their playtime, it was lunchtime.
The park features a variety of specialty restaurants and souvenir shops for everyone to choose from. After leading everyone to the food street, the teachers announced that there would be one hour of free time.
Jiang Yijing naturally chose the most expensive one.
However, Jiang Mingzhe had become accustomed to home-cooked meals in the Zou family's small kitchen these past few days and had little interest in these Western-style steaks.
"I want to drink Bulbasaur Z's limited edition beverage!" he declared.
This is a special drink from a beverage shop next door that is a collaboration between the park and the official animation studio. It's very popular with kids, and almost everyone has one in their hand. Jiang Mingzhe decided to use the drink to fill the void of his lack of interest in lunch.
Leng Zhi sat opposite Jiang Yijing, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
The other person very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for him and set out the cutlery, just like a real married couple, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Especially when Jiang Yijing unintentionally brushed the fallen leaves off his shoulder, he felt his heart beat faster for no reason.
This is so strange, why is it so hard to act out this contract couple situation!
Leng Zhi immediately agreed to Jiang Mingzhe's request and rushed out the door as if fleeing: "I'll go buy it for him!"
He encountered Mengde's parents again at the entrance of the limited-edition co-branded beverage store.
The two nodded to each other in tacit agreement, and then each began to place their orders at their respective windows.
"Hello, I'd like a cup of ice cream milk tea from the Jay N Turtle collaboration."
"Hello, I'd like a cup of Bulbasaur Z-branded brown sugar boba milk green tea."
The waitress was very welcoming: "Okay, would you like to drink it now or take it to go?"
The two said in unison, "Pack it up."
The waiter then asked, "Your name will be written on the cup. What is your name?"
"Cold treatment".
"Meng Cheng."
Leng Zhi & Meng Cheng: ?
Before the waiter could even ask how to write the four characters, the two guests had already started asking each other.
Meng Cheng had never seen such a coincidence before, and blurted out, "Damn, which one is cold, which one is healing? You have the same name as one of my good brothers!"
[Leng Zhi: I'd prefer to meet you in the playoffs the year after next, but my players wouldn't mind having another strong coach.]
[Jiang Yijing: Are you still coming back at nine o'clock?]
Jiang Yijing: We've come to pick you up.
Jiang Yijing: Let's go.
