Fortunately, this time, Chen Yu was luckier. After making more than forty calls for three hours, he finally got through to Lin Cheng.
After briefly explaining the situation on the phone, Chen Yu took Lin Momo to Lin Cheng's residence.
—
Lin Cheng opened the door for several people in Binjiang Yipin's private apartment.
At this time, Lin Cheng was still wearing a suit, with a suitcase at the door, and it seemed that he had just arrived home.
—Lin Cheng is an out-of-date artist who receives only a few notices a year. How come he seems to be busier than the big boss of Xingshi Entertainment
Chen Yu complained in his heart, but he put on a guilty smile on his face: "Sorry, Brother Cheng, I'm bothering you at this time. Because the recording time was suddenly moved up, and I couldn't find a suitable house temporarily, so I had to come to your place first."
After that, seeing that Lin Cheng didn't say anything, Chen Yu pulled Lin Momo behind him and introduced her, "This is the child I told you about before, her name is Lin Momo."
Lin Cheng's gaze followed Chen Yu to Lin Momo beside him: the girl was not tall, wearing a sweatshirt that didn't fit her well and the original color could no longer be seen, with a schoolbag on her back and a plastic bag in her hands.
Just as Chen Yu said before, this child does look a lot like him.
A strange feeling flashed through Lin Cheng's mind.
Out of curiosity, Lin Momo also stole a glance at the other person - this 'dad' was very tall and looked more handsome than the stars on the posters in the stationery store at the school gate, but he looked a little serious with his stern face.
At this time, Chen Yu pointed at Lin Cheng and said to Lin Momo: "This is Lin Cheng, Uncle Lin. From now on until the end of the filming, you have to call him dad, understand?"
Hearing this, Lin Momo nodded, took a half step forward, bowed to Lin Cheng in a formal manner, and said, "Hello, Dad."
Throughout the whole process, although Lin Momo tried her best to appear calm and composed, her tightly clenched fingers betrayed her.
Hearing Lin Momo call him "Dad", Lin Cheng felt even more weird.
"Come in." Lin Cheng said to them expressionlessly.
—
Chen Yu and his companions moved in the boxes of things they had brought.
These are the props they prepared specifically for the filming of this program: nothing more than some children's books, toys, daily necessities, and so on.
"It's just a little decoration, mainly to add a bit of childish atmosphere to your place." Chen Yu explained to Lin Cheng.
Seeing Lin Cheng nod, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhou Qi and others to start "dressing up".
Half an hour later.
Looking at the "newly renovated" home, Lin Cheng's face darkened slightly.
"Well, just deal with it on the day of recording. After the filming, I'll ask someone to clean it up right away." Chen Yu gritted his teeth and said to Lin Cheng with a dry laugh.
Here, Xu Jia handed a pink suitcase to Lin Momo and said, "These are the clothes prepared for you. The one on top is for tomorrow's interview. The rest are for you to wear during the official recording."
Lin Momo's own clothes are not suitable for the show.
These were the clothes provided by sponsors when the company held a child star talent show. After the event, no one wanted them and they were thrown in the company's storage room. Xu Jia found a few sets that were suitable for Lin Momo but not too flashy.
After that, Xu Jia glanced at the plastic bag in Lin Momo's hand and said, "Give me your bag."
Lin Momo looked puzzled, but still handed the bag to the other party.
The next second, Xu Jia handed the bag to Wang Xi and said, "Take it first. When you leave later, take it with you and throw it away."
Lin Momo: "!"
Hearing that the other party was going to throw her things away, Lin Momo's heart tightened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to grab the bag back: "Don't throw it away, I still need these."
These were the toiletries and clothes that her grandmother packed for her before she went out.
"Those things of yours are old, why do you still keep them?" Xu Jia frowned slightly and asked back.
"Yes, we have prepared new ones for you in the suitcase. You can use the new ones and don't keep the old ones." Wang Xi also echoed.
"No." Lin Momo insisted.
These things may not be good in the eyes of others, but they are the best things and clothes in their family.
If she throws it away now, what will she wear when she returns after the shooting is over
Seeing Lin Momo's firm attitude, the two had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, then don't throw it away."
"But you can't take these things with you. Give them to us first and we'll keep them for you. We'll return them to you after the filming is over."
If Lin Momo was accidentally photographed doing these things, others might think that the big star was mistreating her child.
After saying that, the two of them pretended to take the plastic bag from Lin Momo.
Lin Momo said nothing, but held the plastic bag tightly in her hand and refused to let go.
Just when the three of them were in a stalemate, Lin Cheng, who was not far away, suddenly spoke up and said in a deep voice: "Put the things here."
Hearing this, the people here were stunned.
"But," Xu Jia wanted to say something, but she keenly noticed a flash of impatience on Lin Cheng's face. Obviously, their quarrel over a bag of broken things had affected the peace of Lin Cheng, the host of the house.
Xu Jia had no choice but to shut up.
Chen Yu was also very tactful and pulled the three people along to prepare to leave.
Before leaving, Chen Yu handed a document to Lin Cheng and explained, "This is the information memo of this child. Brother Cheng, take a look at it when you have time."
"Put it down. I'll find time to look at it." Lin Cheng said indifferently.
"Okay then, I won't disturb you, Brother Cheng... You guys can take a rest."
After a pause, Chen Yu said with some concern: "Also, Brother Cheng, this child..."
Chen Yu wanted to say to Lin Cheng: This child is very well behaved, but he may not be able to adapt to the unfamiliar environment. You should be more patient.
As a result, before Chen Yu could finish his words, Lin Cheng gave him a cold look and asked speechlessly, "Can I still eat her?"
Chen Yu: “…”
"I'm not worried..." Chen Yu closed his mouth halfway through his words.
Compared to Lin Momo, he felt that he should be more worried about Lin Cheng.
—
After Chen Yu and his companions left, the "father and daughter" Lin Cheng and Lin Momo were left staring at each other in the room.
At this time, Lin Momo was still standing in the same position as before, motionless, holding her bag in her arms.
Lin Cheng looked at Lin Momo for a few seconds, and his gaze finally fell on her bare feet - the girl was not wearing shoes at the moment, only a pair of socks when she stepped on the ground. It was not known whether it was because the floor was cold or she was afraid of getting the floor dirty, so she put one foot on top of the other.
Seeing Lin Cheng looking at her feet, Lin Momo subconsciously retracted her toes - because she didn't want the other person to see the small hole in her socks.
"My socks are not dirty." Lin Momo explained subconsciously.
Just now when the adults were talking, Lin Momo secretly looked around the house - the house was very big, the living room alone was bigger than her classroom at school, and the house was very tidy, which showed how much the owner of the house loved cleanliness.
She didn't want the other party to dislike her.
These are the clean socks she changed into before she came.
It's just... it just can't be washed clean.
Hearing Lin Momo's words, Lin Cheng: "..."
"I asked you to put your shoes on."
Lin Momo was stunned: "Ah? Oh, okay."
After two seconds, seeing that Lin Momo didn't move, Lin Cheng asked again: "Any other questions?"
"Yes..." After a pause, Lin Momo asked in a low voice: "Which shoes should I wear?"
Lin Cheng glanced around the house and realized that there was indeed no shoes for Lin Momo to wear, except for the pair of prop slippers that Chen Yu and others had deliberately placed at the door.
"Let's take that pair." Lin Cheng pointed at the pair of props at the door and said to Lin Momo.
Lin Momo did as she was told and ran to put on her shoes.
The size of the prop shoes was several sizes smaller than Lin Momo's feet.
Lin Momo: “…”
Lin Cheng: “…”
At this time, a phone call broke the awkwardness between the father and daughter.
Looking at the caller ID, Lin Cheng's eyes turned slightly cold. He said "wait a moment" to Lin Momo, then got up and went to the study to answer the call.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Cheng started to deal with business.
By the time he finally finished his work and remembered that there was Lin Momo at home, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, the child was not stupid. She had already packed up and went to sleep in the room temporarily arranged for her.
Thinking of the information Chen Yu had given him before, Lin Cheng took it and read it, but quickly threw it aside.
In this information, except for the name 'Lin Momo' which is her own, the rest of her age, personality, likes singing and painting, likes Elsa, dislikes carrots... These are probably all made up by Chen Yu and his team to match the character setting.
—
Separated by a wall.
Lin Momo was lying in a completely unfamiliar room, suffering from insomnia for the first time in her life.
However, the confusion and fear of the unknown could not overcome the sleepiness, and Lin Momo fell asleep in a daze. After she fell asleep, her consciousness gradually fell into a familiar yet strange dream.
In her dream, she also participated in the recording of the program "Living with Dad" with Lin Cheng.
It was just because she was too nervous that she messed up the pilot at the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Momo dreamed about what happened after the show was broadcast.
The show "Living with Dad" became an internet sensation in just one week after it was aired.
A male star who had retired from the entertainment industry for many years brought his daughter to the show. Because of their super high looks and their intimate and loving interactions on the show, this pair of father and daughter gained a large number of fans after the first episode was broadcast, and the father became popular again.
The actor, who has always played supporting roles in film and television dramas, brought his son to the show. Because he is good at taking care of children and has rich life experience, he was awarded the title of "the strongest dad" by the audience and won countless fans.
The new generation of handsome substitute dad, who had just arrived, frequently appeared on the hot searches due to his unfamiliar and rough way of raising children and his funny and awkward conversations with his "daughter". After that, he continued to receive variety shows, film and television resources and quickly became one of the top celebrities.
The naughty kid from a wealthy family was disliked by the audience at first because of his disrespect for others, reckless spending and pampering. However, he was gradually accepted by the audience because of his shocking remarks on the show and his true nature of spending money like water. He turned into an emoticon boy, and his words were nicknamed "rich words" by fans and edited into a video collection.
Only the last group, that is, Lin Momo and Lin Cheng, the father and daughter had almost no communication throughout the show, and their interaction seemed extremely boring.
At first, the audience simply felt that this group had no presence, but later, more and more voices disliking them began to appear online.
Even in her dreams, Lin Momo could see the screen full of accusations and insults about them.
That's it? What the hell.
This dad doesn't know how to take care of a baby at all. I feel like he's not even as good as a nanny.
The daughter is not cute and the father has no fatherly love. This is definitely the most awkward father and daughter pair I have ever seen.
It was so awkward that I almost could have carved out the Eiffel Tower out of it.
To be honest, it is better for children to be innocent and lively. People like Lin Momo are really not likable.
I don’t like Lin Momo either.
He is so young, but he has such deep thoughts. Isn't it disgusting
I hate Lin Momo +1.
I feel like this group is just here to make up the numbers.
It’s a waste of time. It’s better to broadcast more videos about our kids.
Not wanting to see this father and daughter at all, one person wrote a note in blood, demanding that Lin Cheng and his daughter be taken offline.
Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, get out of the show!
…
The abuse gradually turned into curses.
In the dream, Lin Momo was eager to know whether there would be a turnaround in all this, and whether everyone would slowly accept her and start to like her, just like they didn’t like that naughty kid at first but gradually accepted him later.
However, before Lin Momo could continue reading, the dream came to an abrupt end.
When she saw a big "Go to hell!" pop up in the barrage, Lin Momo woke up from her sleep.
