Many parents around the world have a strong desire to show off their children.
The same is true for the parents of the Muse Empire. After all, in their eyes, they have the best and cutest baby in the world, and they wish they could carry His Majesty the King in their pockets and take him out for a stroll every day.
Unfortunately, however, Muse parents have always encountered many difficulties in showing off their children: first, there is no occasion, and second, there is no one to show off.
Just like showing off affection is only fun when it's for singles, the same goes for showing off your children. Everyone lives in Muse, so there aren't many people to show off to. Let alone the Universal Alliance, it's even more impossible to travel thousands of miles to a neighboring country with whom we have less-than-perfect relations to "share" our children. Therefore, parents can only endure.
But today is different!
It was the other party who provoked me first today!
This was exactly what they wanted, unleashing the parents' suppressed desire to show off. The entire livestream channel, and even the Star Network, was instantly abuzz with countless comments swiftly flashing by.
[Ya Ya Aster:? Whose baby is the cutest? There's no need to discuss this.]
[White Rabbit Candy: The always smiling Char Priest is no longer smiling. How scary!]
[Bizhuixia: Hahahaha, I remember there’s an idiom on Earth called ‘banmennongfu’]
User 176765: Our cub is the epitome of cuteness!

After finishing the recording of "The Taste of Life", Wen Xingze was a little tipsy because he had two glasses of wine. He thought it was quite late and he should go home to take a shower and go to bed.
When I looked at the time, it was half past eight.
Wen Xingze's mind became active.
Chi Yan sat in the driver's seat, his bony hands resting on the steering wheel, his shirt two buttons undone, his expression slightly distracted. He glanced at Wen Xingze with a questioning look.
Wen Xingze thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Chi, do you want to go on a date? Let's go to the movies."
Since they confirmed their relationship, although they live together, they can never spend enough time together. In addition, both of them are public figures and are not suitable for public appearances, so they have never gone out like ordinary couples.
Although I have a private cinema at home, it feels different to go out with my loved ones to watch a movie that is currently showing. And movies are indeed the biggest common hobby and language between two people.
Chi Yan's expression was calm.
This reaction made Wen Xingze start to worry, because there was an objective age difference between the two, and Wen Xingze was worried that Chi Yan would not like a childish date.
Then Chi Yan pressed the tablet, and while reaching out, he took off the entire steering wheel.
Chi Yan: “…”
Wen Xingze: “…………???”
Chi Yan was silent for two seconds, then put the steering wheel back without changing his expression, lowered his eyes and swiped twice on the tablet.
A complete date plan popped up.
Wen Xingze accidentally scanned a line: "On November 15th, after dinner, formally invite Xiaoze to a date. Based on Xiaoze's specific reaction and attitude (see Appendix 3 for details), choose from 35 alternative options..."
Wen Xingze: “?”
So he was looking forward to the date so much?
...Ozawa? ?!
Chi Yan usually just called Wen Xingze by his real name, coldly, seriously and politely. Wen Xingze never expected that he called him like that in his heart... This clumsy nickname with a bit of old-fashioned style was mysteriously cute.
Before Wen Xingze could ask any more questions, Chi Yan quickly closed the document. He hummed and started the engine.
The opposite happened.
Before we even reached our destination, we were already stuck in traffic. This is typical for traffic in the capital, but today it was particularly frustrating, the entire city like a giant, crowded can.
If it's any later, there won't be time for the date. Wen Xingze looked out the window for the third time and couldn't help but pull out the globe his robot parents had given him. Because the actual globe was too large to carry, the parents later developed a portable version, retaining only the jump function.
Wen Xingze tentatively pressed the location of their destination, the cinema, on the translucent image projected by the globe. Chi Yan also happened to open the navigation and touched the corresponding area.
Then, Wen Xingze felt a sense of weightlessness, and the fluorescent blue light representing space jump enveloped their car.
Wen Xingze's globe and Chi Yan's navigation represent the latest achievements of Muse and Utopia in portable jump technology in the interstellar era respectively.
Apparently, the robot parents and the engineers of Utopia had not communicated with each other, so the two transitions combined to produce a wonderful effect.
Polar glaciers
The twelve-cylinder Maybach drove smoothly across the snowfield, passing through a group of emperor penguins that were swaying left and right and moving slowly forward.
Chi Yan: “…”
Penguin: “…huh?”
Wen Xingze: “…………huh?”
Wen Xingze and Chi Yan exchanged a blank look. Two seconds later, they both reached out to press the globe projection and navigation buttons again. The feeling of weightlessness returned.
Western Morocco——
In the colorful old city-state, women in Arab costumes hurried along with their heads down, forcing the Maybach to brake.
Griffith, a middle-aged red-haired man, mingled with the backpackers. He stared at the Maybach for a moment, then gradually widened his eyes and waved excitedly at them: "Hey—Aze, Mr. Chi... Why are you guys here? Has the filming of Miracle Zeze's Around the World already started early?"
Wen Xingze: "This is a long story..."
After exchanging a few pleasantries in this strange state, he and Chi Yan looked at each other, then reached out to the navigation and globe again, and unexpectedly touched the navigation and globe at the same time.
Sometimes being too close to each other can backfire.
A fluorescent blue light ring representing space jump enveloped the two people and the entire car.
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a private island——
The vampire butler, dressed in a British butler uniform, was on his routine patrol on the shore. The moment he saw the Maybach, he froze for two seconds, then walked over and bowed to Wen Xingze in a well-trained manner.
Not far away, two rows of servants came running over, pushing three-tiered food carts filled with Cheetos and Coke.
Wen Xingze: “…”
This is not a solution!
When trying to jump for the fourth time, Chi Yan thought for half a second, stopped pressing the navigation, and instead glanced at Wen Xingze and kissed his earlobe, whispering, "You choose."
Wen Xingze's hand suddenly trembled.
He pressed the location on the globe.
The fluorescent blue light representing the transition enveloped... Wen Xingze alone.
Wen Xingze: “?”
Chi Yan: “?”
Wen Xingze heard a sharp whistling sound similar to the sound of wind cutting through the air, followed by the familiar feeling of weightlessness with his feet dangling in the air. Three seconds later, Wen Xingze disappeared from the passenger seat of the Maybach.
It must be admitted that Utopian scientists are not as proficient in space jump technology as robot parents, so navigation jump can only be used three times within half an hour, and they have all been used up just now.
On his first date with Ozawa, which Chi Yan had secretly been looking forward to and planning for so long, he was forced to stay alone on the Shin-chan Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean under the bright moonlight.
Chi Yan pursed his lips slightly.
Chi Yan decided to fire the scientists who were responsible for researching the jump technology after he returned.
Of course it wasn't out of anger.
The vampire butler beside him was silent for a moment, then politely and with a hint of sympathy consoled him: "... Perhaps you'd like to try some Cheetos and Coke?"
“…”
Let’s get back to the other side.
8:30 pm, Earth, the capital of China.
The movie "Dust Planet" has an open audition scene.
Wen Xingze was also confused when he opened his eyes.
The three previous jumps involved two people and a car together. Why did this suddenly happen? How was this range chosen? ...Where is Teacher Chi?
I should have checked the almanac before going out. Today is definitely not a good day for a date. Wen Xingze felt a little annoyed. Although he wanted to go back to find Chi Yan, after this series of incidents, he didn't dare to press the globe anymore and had to wait for Teacher Chi to come to him.
Now that you are here, make the best of it.
Wen Xingze looked around.
He stood in a place that looked like a corridor, and after taking a few steps out, his view immediately widened.
There was a clamor of people, dolls, colorful balloons... and a man with a studio ID was using a loudspeaker to maintain order:
"Parents and young actors, please be patient and line up in order."
He heard the familiar Beijing dialect, and it seemed like they were in the capital. Wen Xingze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and walked forward to ask the staff something.
"Don't worry about missing out! Our big screen and speakers will repeatedly play the serial numbers and names of the young actors who will be auditioning... Hey handsome guy, please show me your relevant documents... Holy crap!"
Wen Xingze: “?”
Staff: “??!”
The staff and Wen Xingze looked at each other for a while.
Then the staff took out a notebook and a pen and handed them to Wen Xingze. Wen Xingze didn't know what to do, so he just drew a SpongeBob SquarePants on the notebook.
Then they returned to their initial awkward staring at each other.
The whole process was like a pantomime.
The staff member originally wanted to sign an autograph, but seeing that SpongeBob SquarePants, he was immediately overjoyed and didn't pursue the matter any further: "I know you, Mr. Wen. Are you coming to the set to look for a friend or...?"
Dust Planet is a large-scale audition with no restrictions. Any boy under the age of seven can participate. The entire set is huge, with both outdoor and indoor areas, and there are many stages, including preliminary screening, re-screening, and final screening.
The initial screening will screen out half of the participants, so the number of people in the waiting area is constantly decreasing. But even so, the entire studio environment is still very noisy, after all, it is Director Li's film.
Director Li Mingzhou, there is no need to elaborate on this director's experience: Chi Yan's first film "Late Spring" was directed by him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was grateful to Mr. Chi for his recognition.
"If it's not urgent, I'll take you to the side and wait for a while." The staff member saw that Wen Xingze had neither an assistant nor an agent with him, and guessed that it was a private matter. "Because it's a bit messy inside. By the way, what are you doing here?"
Wen Xingze: "Uh..."
I really don't know how to answer this question.
The staff thought he was so cute and couldn't help but teasing him, "Haha, you're not here for an audition, are you?"
This audition is for boys under seven years old.
Wen Xingze looked at the atmosphere and environment and roughly guessed that they were looking for auditions for young actors. He smiled and said, "I'm 24 years old this year, of course not—"
"—No. 235, Wen Xingze and his parents, please go to the waiting area and line up for the audition!"
In the center of the audition area, the producer and Director Li looked up at the same time. Li Mingzhou said with interest, "Little Wen Xingze? Is this a fan prank or a coincidence?"
He and Chi Yan can be considered old friends. Of course, he knows that Chi Yan has always been very concerned about the young man Wen Xingze, and it can even be said that he likes him very much.
Li Mingzhou has also seen Wen Xingze's works. He is indeed a talented and hardworking young man.
Unfortunately, there is no role suitable for him in "Dust Planet", and even if there is, it is still a question whether Wen Xingze can play it with his ability. After all, he was unknown for the first five years of his debut. Although he is now famous, he still lacks experience on the big screen.
"—No. 235, Wen Xingze and his parents, please go to the waiting area and line up for the audition!"
"—No. 235, Wen Xingze and his parents, please..."
Accompanied by cheerful music, a gentle and clear announcement prompt voice enveloped the entire set and was played three times with special consideration.
The noisy sounds in the entire venue gradually subsided.
The world fell silent.
Staff: “…”
Wen Xingze: “?”
Wait, is this a duplicate name or something?
Because no one responded for a long time, the female host was obviously a little embarrassed. She cleared her throat and repeated the question: "Little Wen Xingze...are his parents here? Little Wen Xingze's father or mother——"
Different from the silence just now.
This time, from every corner of the venue came the sound of "Here", "What do you want to talk to me about?", "The male mother is here too"...
Wen Xingze even watched the staff member who had just been chatting and laughing with him slowly raise his hand.
Wen Xingze: “???”
Real parents: “????”
