Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 20,Part 1: — To the \'New Home\'

“What’s wrong?” Lin Cheng asked, sensing that Lin Momo seemed unhappy.

Hearing Lin Cheng’s voice, Lin Momo quickly raised her head.

The moment Lin Momo saw Lin Cheng, a smile appeared on the little girl’s face and the depression of the previous second seemed to disappear.

She didn’t know why she was smiling exactly, but anyway, seeing this person in front of her, Lin Momo felt a little bit of happiness in her heart.

Lin Cheng noticed a large bruise on Lin Momo’s forehead.

Most of the bruise was covered by Lin Momo’s bangs, but due to how big it was, it was still particularly conspicuous on Lin Momo’s fair forehead, and it was difficult not to notice it.

“What’s going on with your forehead?” Lin Cheng asked Lin Momo, pointing to the bruise, his eyes moving slightly.

At Lin Cheng’s question, Lin Momo instinctively raised her hand to cover her forehead.

“Ah, well, it’s nothing,” Lin Momo said by habit, shaking her head.

After a pause, seeing the seriousness in Lin Cheng’s eyes, Lin Momo said again, “I accidentally bumped my head when I got up.”

Lin Cheng had never been to Lin Momo and Zhang Cuifang’s residence, so he didn’t know the layout of their home. Not to mention a decent bed, there was not enough furniture or electrical appliances to cause harm to people.

But hearing what Lin Momo said, Lin Cheng thought to himself that it was reasonable for a child to bump into things when she suddenly changed her living environment for a week and then returned.

Lin Cheng didn’t ask any more questions, but he was anxious to buy some ointment for the child when they go out later.

At this time, Lin Cheng took out a few pieces of candy from his jacket pocket and handed them to Lin Momo.

He happened to pass by a candy store on the way to the company and suddenly thought of Lin Momo, so he stopped and bought a few pieces.

Seeing the candy that Lin Cheng handed over, Lin Momo was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Lin Cheng with surprise.

“Is this for me?” Lin Momo asked uncertainly, not daring to take the candy from Lin Cheng’s hand.

“Well, here it is, take it.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Momo took the candies from Lin Cheng and looked at them carefully.

There were five pieces of candy in total; the candies were each about the size of her palm, and every piece was very delicately made.

One piece was a little girl in a princess dress, another piece was a man in a suit, one piece was a kitten, one piece was a bowtie, and the last piece….

Seeing Lin Momo pout suddenly while looking at the candy in her hands, Lin Cheng asked, “What’s the matter, don’t you like it?”

“It’s not that I don’t like them,” Lin Momo shook her head. She put two pieces of candy in front of Lin Cheng and said, “These two pieces are repeated.”

Lin Cheng: “… “

He just took them casually, and he really didn’t notice that he took two pieces of the same bow-tie-shaped candy.

“The taste is the same,” Lin Chengyin replied solemnly, with a hint of apology.

“Oh.” Lin Momo nodded.

However, looking at the ‘extra’ bowtie, the girl’s face was still full of tangled emotions.

From the corner of the eye, he paid attention to the changes in Lin Momo’s expression, and the corner of Lin Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly. He didn’t know where Lin Momo’s obsessive-compulsive temperament came from.

But he seemed to be the same way, too?

“The extra candy can just be eaten,” Lin Cheng suggested.

Lin Momo thought that Lin Cheng’s suggestion made sense.

“Do you want to eat it, Dad?”

“Eat it yourself.”

“Okay.”

Lin Momo unwrapped the candy and put the bowtie into her mouth. The sweet taste of strawberry instantly filled her mouth.

Super sweet!

Lin Momo didn’t know if it was merely an illusion, but she felt that this piece of candy was sweeter than all the candies she had ever eaten before.

“What are you looking at?” Lin Cheng’s eyes fell on the sheaf of papers in Lin Momo’s hand, and he remembered what Chen Yu said to him before he came in.

Before Lin Momo could answer, Lin Cheng directly took the documents from her. Sure enough, there were more than ten pages with all sorts of precautions written on it in dense print.

“I haven’t finished reading through it yet.”

Lin Cheng frowned, threw the paper aside, and said to Lin Momo, “Don’t read it anymore.”

“But, I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake when recording the show.” Lin Momo said, her voice getting smaller with each word.

After reading the list of precautions given to her by sister Wang Xi, she realized that many things she did during the recording of the show last week were wrong.

For example, she shouldn’t pick up recyclable bottles in the show; this would make the audience question her real life experiences from outside the show.

For example, she shouldn’t be so efficient when cleaning the house; she had to be a little clumsy to make people feel she was cute.

Another example was that she shouldn’t be so nervous about money, it will make people dislike her….

“You did nothing wrong; just do what you want.”

“But won’t the audience dislike me?” Lin Momo asked nervously.

Then because of her, they wouldn’t like Lin Cheng, too, and they’d scold him on the Internet.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng wanted to say ‘it doesn’t matter’, but meeting the little girl’s nervous gaze, he replied in a firm voice, “No.”

“That’s good,” Lin Momo smiled, her small body filling with relief.

She instinctively trusted what Lin Cheng said.

… …

At the door of the meeting room, Chen Yu, Wang Xi, and Zhou Qi looked surprised as they watched the scene of the ‘father and daughter’ getting along in a friendly way.

“Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that Brother Cheng was being a little gentle just now?” Wang Xi muttered.

Zhou Qi also echoed his surprise, “And it turned out that Brother Cheng actually knew how to buy candies for kids!”

“It’s unbelievable, I think the two of them get along pretty well?”

“I also think it’s much more natural than before.”

Hearing the discussion between the two assistants, Chen Yu on the side nodded his head in approval.

If it was in the past, it would have already been good if Lin Cheng didn’t scare people and children into tears.

For some reason, Chen Yu had a niggling thought: this program should not be called [Living with Dad], but instead [Dad’s Metamorphosis].

T/N: I originally thought those must be some gigantic candies! But then I realized Lin Momo is the size of a 7-year old and her palm should be pretty small. Cute (????)
