Chapter 61: Fake Daughter in the Entertainment Industry
"ah……"
Su Youran seemed to be frightened by the sudden appearance of so many strangers in the room; she even tightened her arms around Xie Yan's neck.
Xie Yan gently stroked her back and comforted her:
"We are going to start filming today, Ranran, do you remember?"
He pointed at the camera which was somewhat reflective:
"That's a camera, something that can record our image. Don't be afraid."
Su Youran nodded as if she understood something, tilted her head, opened her big round, misty eyes, and looked at the big, black thing curiously.
Netizen: "Ahhhhhh, we made eye contact! The little princess and I made eye contact!"
"Tilt head to kill, wow... It's so cute that my nose is bleeding. The cute baby is too lethal, we can't resist!"
Zhang Heng waved at Su Youran with a big smile on his face. He was now a big fan of the little princess.
“Of course.”
Su Youran looked over and her face, as tender as a peeled egg, immediately broke into a smile:
"Hello, Uncle Zhang!"
"Hey, hello, hello."
Zhang Heng smiled so hard that his teeth were visible.
Su Youran looked at the others again. She was obviously a little shy, but she still greeted them politely:
"Hello, uncles and aunts!"
After shouting, she seemed to feel embarrassed and turned around to bury her face in Xie Yan's shoulder, like a mimosa, shyly retracting its branches and leaves. Everyone present couldn't help laughing when they saw her little look.
"Oh my, this is so cute. I want to hug you..."
Xie Yan glanced warily at the staff members who had the same silly expressions on their faces, and snorted in his heart, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking."
Humph, only I can hold my daughter!
Xie Yan carried his precious daughter into the bathroom, which had been specially renovated. The sink and toilet were both at a height that a child could reach.
Su Youran stretched her legs slightly. Because her face was buried in the mud, her voice was thin and soft.
"Dad, put me down."
Xie Yan then put her on the ground, took out a toothbrush, squeezed toothpaste on it and handed it to the little girl. He then squatted aside with a mouthwash cup in his hand and watched her brush her teeth.
As Su Youran was browsing, she secretly glanced at the cameraman standing by the door. Her dark, clear eyes turned around and she turned her body to the side, with her back to the camera.
Xie Yan was surprised:
"Baby, why are you turning your back to Daddy?"
Su Youran glanced at the camera again, put her hand to her mouth, and leaned closer to Xie Yan to whisper to him:
"There are bubbles... it doesn't look good..."
Xie Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing, stretched out his claws and rubbed the little guy's face:
"Oh my, our Ranran already has idol baggage at such a young age!"
The little girl didn't understand. This word was not in her vocabulary and she looked confused.
Xie Yan took out a wet towel from the table beside him and wiped off the foam on the corner of her mouth:
"Who said we don't look good when we brush our teeth? We are so pretty!"
He passed the cup to Su Youran's lips and watched her gargle. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and her sharp face was filled with exaggerated amazement.
"Wow, our Ranran even looks so good when gargling!"
Netizen: "Hahahaha, what the hell!"
"Thank you actor for giving his worst acting performance ever, no doubt about it hhh"
"Don't laugh, don't laugh. What Xie Yan said is indeed the truth. Even gargling looks good! Hahaha, I can't hold it anymore!"
"I've been a fan of Xie for many years. I always thought he was a cool guy... I've almost never seen him smile outside of acting. Why is he so... so... so... funny to my daughter? I can't even describe it!"
"Foolish daddy, silly daddy!"
Zhang Heng looked at the message and tried to hold back his laughter until his stomach ached. "Teacher Xie, after recording this show, I guess your image will be completely ruined."
Xie Yan, who was concentrating on helping his daughter wash her face and hands, said: What image? Who cares?
After Su Youran had finally packed up, Xie Yan picked her up again and carried her to the cloakroom.
Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts: Teacher Xie, do you want the little princess to grow on you? By the way, isn't this carpet a bit redundant? Obviously, the little princess' feet don't need to touch the ground!
After following Xie Yan into the cloakroom, all that was left was amazement.
This cloakroom should be connected to the room next to it. It has excellent lighting, is spacious and bright, and is estimated to be no less than 80 square meters.
Xie Yan held Su Youran in his arms and pressed the switch on the left. The sliding door slowly opened, and all he could see were various princess dresses. They were of different styles and colors, but all were exquisite and eye-catching.
Netizens were shocked: "Oh my god, this is my dream house!"
"I can't help but shed tears of envy...Xie Yingdi, are you still in need of a son? The kind that has gone to school and learned how to cook and can help you take care of the little princess!"
"To be honest, my cloakroom alone is bigger than my house..."
"Do celebrities make so much money?? I remember Xie Yan didn't seem to take any advertising endorsements."
"There are clothes, jewelry...even bags! Is that a new model from a certain brand? When I saw it, I discussed it with my bestie, and we both thought it was too childish. So it's for children? Forgive me for being so unworldly..."
"What a little princess' life!"
Even Zhang Heng was a little surprised:
"Teacher Xie, are all these things belonging to Ranran?"
So many? She is only a few years old. Children grow fast. I guess they won’t be able to wear all of them next year. Isn’t it a bit of a waste?
Xie Yan ran his hand across her skirt, carefully choosing an outfit for her baby today, and then he distracted himself and answered Zhang Heng:
"This place belongs exclusively to Ranran, but most of them were given by Ranran's grandmother and two aunts."
He turned his head to face the camera:
"Our family is quite special. No girls have been born in several generations, so they are more enthusiastic."
Xie Yan was too disdainful to explain, but he was worried that someone would stretch the truth and say that Ranran was arrogant and extravagant.
Remember, these are gifts from others, not our extravagance. Although he wanted to bring all the good things in the world to his baby, he still felt that these things were not enough.
But when making a show, it is better to avoid unnecessary controversies if possible.
Netizen: "It seems that the rumors about Xie Yan's good family background are true."
"The little princess was also born with a golden key in her mouth."
The little girl didn't know much. She pointed to a sky blue gauze skirt:
"Dad, wear this."
Xie Yan obediently took it out, compared it to Su Youran, and asked her to change in the specially separated dressing room.
He opened the door on the other side, which was full of hair accessories, and he picked a headband that matched the color of his skirt. Then he went to pick out a hat, shoes and socks.
The staff and netizens present were overwhelmed by the sight, and they only had one feeling in their hearts:
"The things here are probably more complete than those in the children's clothing store in the mall..."
The audience had not yet recovered from the large-scale children's fashion show as they stared blankly at Xie Yan skillfully tying Su Youran's hair after she changed her clothes.
Xie Yan's hands are particularly beautiful, with long fingers and distinct joints, and his bronze skin highlights his masculine charm. Just looking at those hands makes people feel safe and generous.
But now, this pair of large and powerful hands are gently holding a strand of hair, fingers flying up and down, carefully and meticulously... weaving a pattern? ?
Netizen: “It feels like the world has become mysterious…”
Zhang Heng swallowed his saliva, and his mood at this moment was the same as that of netizens. Is this the Xie Yan in front of him still the one he knows?
Although Zhang Heng had never met Xie Yan before, he was in the same circle. He had heard some rumors about him, which basically said that he was dedicated and had good acting skills, but he was aloof and distant, and didn't like to interact with people.
Zhang Heng also saw it when he first came to visit. Xie Yan's personality was indeed cold. It was beyond most people's expectations that he would love his daughter so much. Who would have thought that he could do this?
Zhang Heng lowered his voice as if he was afraid of disturbing the person who was concentrating on braiding her hair:
"Teacher Xie... When did you learn how to tie your hair? And... And you tie it so well..."
Before Xie Yan could say anything, Su Youran had already puffed out her chest with pride:
"Dad is amazing. He learned it in just two days!"
Xie Yan smiled and answered while tying the hairband into a bow:
"I didn't know how to do it at first, and I pulled out several strands of Ranran's hair. Later, I bought a wig, followed the video, and practiced a few times. Practice makes perfect. It's actually not difficult."
This made many netizens with children sad:
"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, but whether you are willing to put in the effort as a father. My daughter is two years older than the little princess, and her father has never let her wear clothes, let alone tie her hair... When I asked him to do it, he either said he didn't have time or that it was something a mother needed to do. But is there anything that can only be done by a mother? In the final analysis, he just doesn't want to do it for his daughter!"
"Same type of dad, doesn't care about anything, as if the child is mine alone!"
"I've recorded the screen. When my boyfriend comes back, I'll let him watch it carefully and ask him if he's ashamed. He's a big movie star, young and handsome, popular, and has an extraordinary family background. In order to tie his daughter's hair, he would personally buy a wig for practice. What about you? You don't have anything you want, and you still have the nerve to be a hands-off boss?!"
In addition to complaints, there are more praises:
"I wasn't a fan of Xie Yan originally, but I became a fan right away after seeing this!"
"Teacher Xie is awesome, he is a great example of a modern model father!"
"Because I heard that the child had just returned to Xie Yan, and then immediately participated in this parent-child program. I thought it was a show to make money, but I didn't expect... It was a slap in the face!"
Variety shows are a powerful tool for attracting fans. As long as they are done well, even an 18th-tier star can become famous overnight and instantly become a second- or third-tier star. Moreover, a big actor like Xie Yan, who has his own halo, already has many fans.
It's just that he was just floating in the air before, and the public's understanding of him was limited to his good acting skills, frequent award wins, and guaranteed film quality. It's not like people were really loyal to him. At most, when they wanted to watch a movie, they would give priority to the ones starring him.
And now...
From the ever-increasing number of fans on Xie Yan’s Weibo, it can be seen that he is transforming from a “movie king” to a phenomenal star.
The author has something to say:
Today's update was full of twists and turns. I don't know what happened to JJ. It swallowed my saved drafts twice... twice! That means I wrote it three times (crying). Then there was a sudden power outage at my home. Even the base station had problems. The mobile phone signal was a capital "E" (...). Fortunately, although the power didn't come back soon, I got some signal first, otherwise I couldn't even transmit (laughing and crying)
