Magic Mirror: "...How did you know?"
Chaochao proudly exclaimed, "I learned it on TV!"
Although she didn't understand what the "five social insurances and one housing fund" were, they sounded very important!
“But if that’s the case…” Chaochao tilted her head in thought, finally looking worried, “Does that mean I’ll have to separate from my dad and brothers…”
The thought of only being able to see her father for two out of seven days terrified Chaochao, who shook her head violently, "No, no!"
"...Alright, now it's my turn to ask you." The Magic Mirror paused for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject, "Did you have fun on the show with your brother?"
"I'm so happy!" Chaochao nodded vigorously. "I made some really great new friends, and they're all so amazing! Brother Leibao can write calligraphy, Brother Leo can climb trees, Changchang can read fairy tales, and Xiaoqing can run incredibly fast! Oh, and Sister Jingjing can even fold little frogs!"
After exchanging contact information, Sister Jingjing even folded a little paper frog and took a picture to show her!
At this point, Chaochao paused for a second, realizing how amazing and knowledgeable everyone was. "Of course, Chaochao is amazing too! I can... I can..."
"You can eat."
The Magic Mirror added to the little dumpling's thoughts.
Chaochao paused for a moment, then squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly, "Hehe, yes!"
Thank you.
It seems the magic mirror isn't so scary after all; this is the second time I've praised her today.
"And the uncles are super awesome too." Chaochao counted on her fingers, "Especially Uncle Hao, Lei Bao's dad, his cooking is so delicious..."
Because she was worried about being taken away and never seeing her father again, the little dumpling answered very seriously, mentioning every friend and uncle, her bright black eyes shining with sincerity.
At this moment, the magic mirror displayed patience that was inconsistent with its character, listening attentively to the child's incessant explanation.
"..." After listening to her finish speaking, the Magic Mirror remained silent for a moment, then asked seemingly casually, "So what do you think of your brother, Jiang Chi?"
“Brother…” Chaochao tilted her head back and slowly repeated it, as if she was thinking.
The Magic Mirror's heart was involuntarily drawn out by the drawn-out tone.
The next second, the little dumpling grinned happily, her smile sweet and soft, her voice clear and crisp: "Of course, brother is the best!"
Chaochao had just gone through the images of her and her brother together in her mind. She rested her chin on her hands, her eyes sparkling: "My brother is super amazing! Let me tell you, he can play soccer, catch chickens, make dumplings, and tell stories! He can also sing beautiful songs and dance incredibly well. I'm not kidding, I've seen the videos..."
It's true. When Jiang Chi wasn't home, Chaochao would ask Aunt Song to play Jiang Chi's stage videos on TV for her. Even though Grandpa Huo couldn't bear to watch, Chaochao was excited and thrilled when she saw her radiant brother on stage.
Sometimes my brother wears too little clothing, and I worry he might catch a cold.
In the hidden shadows behind the bronze mirror, a mini Bluetooth speaker gleams with a faint blue light.
In another room twenty meters away, Jiang Chi's cool eyes were half-closed as he stared intently at the smiling little dumpling on the screen, her chin resting on her hand. He held the microphone in his hand, unable to speak for a long time.
The comments section was filled with emotion, breaking down all defenses.
[Waaaaah, I declare this is a mutual sibling relationship!!!]
To be honest, I've been a fan of Jiang Chi since his debut and was a devoted follower for two years. Without Chaochao, I wouldn't have known that Brother Chi had this side to him.
[Heavens above! I would gladly exchange ten pounds of my own flesh for a younger sister like Chaochao!]
[I'm so heartbroken about Chaochao!]
Since the magic mirror didn't interrupt, Chaochao would never stop talking about her brother.
Chaochao recounted the dishes with great familiarity, "Oh right, my brother can also cook, and he's really good at it!"
After looking around to make sure it was safe, the little girl quietly approached the bronze mirror, completely forgetting that she was live-streaming. "Magic mirror, magic mirror, I'll tell you a secret, but my brother can cook even better than my dad..."
The last three words were pronounced with a breathy sound.
One or two mornings, Chaochao would follow the smell to the kitchen door and secretly see her father practicing cooking inside.
But Chaochao didn't know what she was cooking, because her father immediately threw it away, just as quickly as he used to take her braids off.
The little dumpling's words were undoubtedly a public execution, and netizens flooded the screen with comments like "I feel sorry for Chaochao's dad."
The magic mirror, or rather Jiang Chi, fell silent for a moment upon seeing this.
Uncle, you must be watching this.
He swore he was forced to be dragged down, but that's not what he said.
Huo Qin, watching from the screen: "..."
He wondered why, on one or two occasions, when he returned to the room, he found the little one pretending to be asleep.
How do you know someone is pretending to be asleep?
Which child would peek at their sleeping child with only one eye open?
Mr. Huo, who was also watching the live stream, laughed heartily and slapped his thigh repeatedly.
Huo Qin has finally met his Waterloo.
"So that's why," the little dumpling concluded eloquently, "Brother is super, super amazing, only a tiny bit less amazing than Daddy. Daddy is still the best!"
The Magic Mirror coughed, then casually asked two questions about her brother.
Chao Chao answered each question seriously. Hearing the increasingly cheerful tone of the magic mirror, her little brain keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Why do you keep asking me what my brother does?
Chaochao's baby voice was full of doubt.
The magic mirror remained silent: "..."
Chaochao suddenly realized a possibility and turned pale with shock: "You don't mean to kidnap my brother and make him your little male servant, do you?"
