Ji Mingzhe nodded thoughtfully.
Although it was Fu Xiaoxiao's idea, the other three children were also quite interested, their eyes sparkling.
They were led by staff to a small room next door to prepare for the day's experience.
The remaining five adults exchanged glances. Ji Mingzhe was also a little resistant, but seeing everyone's frozen expressions, he took the initiative to step forward and ease the tension. "This shouldn't be difficult. You all spend a lot of time with children and are familiar with their habits and behavior patterns, so replicating this shouldn't be hard."
Yu Ruicheng was completely at a loss, so he proactively sought advice from Ji Mingzhe, the award-winning actor, asking, "How can I imitate the essence so that everyone can recognize it at a glance?"
"For example, if I want to imitate Youyou," Ji Mingzhe thought for a moment and chose the simplest method, "I can replicate her way of speaking."
Upon hearing this, the others all stared intently at Ji Mingzhe.
Ji Mingzhe felt his ears burning from being stared at, and forced himself to say, "Youyou is shy, speaks very softly, and doesn't talk much."
Ji Mingzhe coughed and imitated his daughter's voice, "Brother Su, can I have some cake?"
Recalling Ji Youyou's tone when she said those words, Su Huaiming unconsciously took on the role of a judge and offered a suggestion, "The tone is very similar, but the voice needs to be a bit more nuanced."
"Some...?!" Ji Mingzhe's expression went blank, wondering if he had misheard.
Su Huaiming elaborated further, "Brother Ji, your voice is too masculine. Speaking in a higher register would sound more like it. Give it a try."
Upon hearing this, the other three were at a loss for words, looking at Ji Mingzhe expectantly, like primary school students listening attentively in class.
Ji Mingzhe was caught in a dilemma. After a few seconds of blank expression, he could only offer his first on-screen voice in a mixed voice, "Brother Su, can I eat cake~"
Su Huaiming closed his eyes and savored the image for a moment, then sincerely gave a thumbs up, "Brother Ji truly deserves his title as a movie star, it's so lifelike!"
Ji Mingzhe: "..." This was the first time he felt that he had tarnished his title as a movie star.
Sun Siyuan hadn't spent much time with Jameel and didn't know how to imitate her, so she proactively asked, "What about me?"
Su Huaiming thought for a moment, then handed the water bottle to Sun Siyuan, "Jameel loves to drink; he almost never leaves his water bottle behind. You can borrow this prop."
Sun Siyuan thought for a moment, then turned to ask the production team for a new water bottle.
Time flies, and in just half an hour, it will be time to begin the day's identity swapping experience.
Viewers watching the live stream were eagerly anticipating how the topic would be explored.
[Haha, this is so funny! I really want to see how parents and children interact.]
[It sounds like it would be very therapeutic; the kids would definitely be adorable.]
[Even the best actor is using consonants... I suddenly have a bad feeling about this.]
[If Su Huaiming is rendered mute by poison, there's a good chance there won't be any problems.]
The camera slowly shifts, focusing on the five people in the living room:
Ji Mingzhe, mature and composed with a gentle and refined demeanor, sat at the table and said in a high-pitched voice, "I really want to eat some cake!"
Sun Siyuan, with his cool and handsome face that seemed to say "I am very noble" and exuding an aura that keeps strangers at bay, picked up a blue water cup with a cartoon character printed on it. The most ingenious part was the design of the bottle opening being a nipple.
His face turned even uglier. He put the water bottle to his lips as if testing for poison, then reluctantly took the nipple in his mouth and began to suck on it.
Zhou Hanyan also imitating Jameel, standing in the corner, shaking her head back and forth strangely, her carefully styled hair turned into a bird's nest, looking like she had epilepsy.
Su Huaiming lay flat on the sofa, pounding it with his fist, his expressionless yet perfectly natural, repeatedly shouting, "I want ice cream! I want ice cream!"
Yu Ruicheng social anxiety, has a stiff expression, and his entire body is conveying the message "Help me."
He took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself for half a minute, stiffly raised his hand, slightly sticking out his rear end, and like a little bee, circled around the room, greeting each piece of furniture. He squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth. "Good evening, chair! I really like you!"
My teeth were practically grinding to powder; after saying that, I felt like I had died once.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned. For a moment, they saw the shadows of children in the five adults... Although their acting skills were not very good, they all imitated the essence of the characters, only the scene was a bit eerie.
I really want to praise them, but I just can't bring myself to do it...
New viewers were unaware of the cause or what Su Huaiming and the others were doing. They were immediately bombarded by the visuals as soon as they opened the live stream.
Their expressions were blank, their lips twitched, and their hands holding their phones were trembling slightly.
They had to exit the live stream and then re-enter it three times before they could barely believe their eyes, and they all showed expressions of horror.
Are these people really alright mentally?!
Chapter 46
After the children came out of the room, they walked towards their parents.
Ji Youyou, being a sweet and considerate daughter, immediately took on the role of a parent, taking good care of Ji Mingzhe. Ji Mingzhe looked very gratified, almost bursting with emotion.
Yu Xuanxuan was also quite happy. He had wanted to play with his brother before, but his brother was too socially anxious and refused in every way. Seeing his brother take the initiative to greet the flowers and plants, Yu Xuanxuan immediately joined the group chat, pulled his brother, who looked like he had no will to live, and continued to chat with the chairs and the others.
Jameel wasn't familiar with Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan. Looking at the two burly "kids," he timidly took two steps back. But then he suddenly remembered his parental responsibilities and mustered his courage, saying, "You two better behave and be good, okay? Don't be naughty, or I'll spank you!"
Sun Siyuan: "..."
Zhou Hanyan: "..."
The two of them felt as if they had been struck by lightning; they even felt like dying.
A room full of normal people, but not a single one of them has a brain... What kind of mess is this?! Is there anyone who can do something about it?!
Not to mention the viewers in the live stream, even the two people directly involved were completely bewildered by the current situation.
A sliver of clarity lingered in my daze; I desperately wanted to reclaim my dignity as an adult, but I was still in a state of panic as my worldview crumbled. My brain was a complete mess, and my hands and feet wouldn't obey my commands.
Absurd, absolutely absurd! It's all the director's fault for coming up with this ridiculous idea!!
The two were sharpening their knives, eager to assassinate the director.
The director felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but shiver.
He never expected that the serious program he had been preparing for so long would turn into such a chaotic mess, completely out of control, and he was so flustered that his legs were shaking.
Of everyone present, Su Huaiming was probably the most composed.
After leaving the room, Fu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she ran into the kitchen like the wind. She immediately opened the refrigerator, wanting to eat as much ice cream as she wanted, but the refrigerator was empty. Fu Xiaoxiao carefully searched for a long time, but she couldn't even find the ice cream wrappers.
His once fair and delicate face became wrinkled, and his lips were so pouting that you could hang a sesame oil bottle on them.
Fu Xiaoxiao was convinced that her stepfather had secretly hidden the ice cream, and she strode over menacingly.
He's a parent now, there's absolutely no need for him to be afraid of Su Huaiming.ヽ(`⌒?メ)ノ
Just as Fu Xiaoxiao was about to confront him assertively, she saw her stepfather lying casually on the sofa, expressionlessly shouting, "I want ice cream! I want ice cream!"
Fu Xiaoxiao, interrupted from her train of thought, said blankly, "There's no ice cream in the fridge."
Su Huaiming glanced at him, raised an eyebrow, and continued to maintain a blank expression, his act of acting spoiled without seeming out of place. "No, I want ice cream, I want it!"
Su Huaiming, a large man, lay sprawled on the sofa, his voice quite loud. Fu Xiaoxiao had never seen anything like this before and couldn't help but panic. "I told you, there's no ice cream in the fridge!"
"I don't care, I just want to eat," Su Huaiming continued.
"I already said no..." Fu Xiaoxiao was getting a headache from all this arguing. She stomped her foot heavily, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Why can't you understand me?"
Su Huaiming raised an eyebrow and sat up from the sofa. "You still know that this is incomprehensible? Isn't that what you used to say?"
Fu Xiaoxiao:???
His expression was blank, his thoughts wandered involuntarily, and familiar images floated into his mind.
Wait, he did say that.
Not content with that, Su Huaiming retaliated in kind. "I want ice cream, go buy it now!"
"I don't have any money." Fu Xiaoxiao was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong; Su Huaiming's imposing manner made his tone weaker. "You can't buy it."
Upon hearing this, Su Huaiming immediately perked up, shrugged expressionlessly, and patted the sofa, looking like he was about to cause a scene.
Su Huaiming was several times taller than Fu Xiaoxiao and had the physique of an adult. When he made such a scene, it was quite frightening.
Fu Xiaoxiao quickly said, "No, we don't have ice cream. Can we have a cake instead?"
Seeing that Fu Xiaoxiao was using the cakes he bought as a way of giving back to him, Su Huaiming didn't dwell on the ice cream anymore, and continued, "These cakes are all mine!"
Fu Xiaoxiao had only eaten a small piece before and was planning to eat another one that evening. Upon hearing this, she immediately objected, "No, I want to eat more!"
Su Huaiming had already anticipated Fu Xiaoxiao's reaction and immediately said, "I want to eat all the cake! I'm a child, you have to give in to me!"
Upon hearing these familiar words, Fu Xiaoxiao's expression went blank, and she was speechless for a moment.
Fu Xiaoxiao used to say this all the time, and it always worked, bringing him many benefits. But now that their roles had changed, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, a child's language skills are limited, and he couldn't express it, so he could only pout and say, "If you can't finish it all by yourself, give me a bite."
"No, these are all mine!" Su Huaiming had long wanted to use this opportunity to punish Fu Xiaoxiao properly, and he persisted, "If you don't agree, I'll go tell your dad."
Upon hearing Fu Jingfan, Fu Xiaoxiao immediately became agitated, "No, you can't tell on me to my dad!"
"Why not?" Su Huaiming asked.
"..."
"No, no, it just won't work!" Fu Xiaoxiao's words were no match for Su Huaiming's. She stamped her feet in frustration, her voice trembling with tears.
Su Huaiming didn't let him off the hook, saying, "Then you have to give me the cake."
"I... I... I..." Fu Xiaoxiao pouted, her big eyes welling up with tears, on the verge of crying. "You, you're bullying me."
Su Huaiming remained unmoved. "You said those things before, isn't that just bullying me?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao seemed to be paused, her expression blank, glistening tears clinging to her eyelashes, completely forgetting to cry.
Su Huaiming then posed a probing question, "I'm a child now too, so why can't I say the same things you said back then?"
Fu Xiaoxiao bit his lip, experiencing the feeling of being rendered speechless by the rebuttal. However, his little brain couldn't analyze such complex information, and his chubby fingers twisted together, making him stammer and unable to speak.
Su Huaiming watched Fu Xiaoxiao's conflicted expression with amusement, feeling a sense of satisfaction. However, he wasn't about to let Fu Xiaoxiao off so easily and continued, "I want some water. Go get me a cup."
Fu Xiaoxiao didn't react at first, staring blankly at Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming added Youyou, "I'm just a child, you should take care of me."
Fu Xiaoxiao thought this made sense, and without thinking much about it, she immediately ran to the table and brought Su Huaiming a water glass.
After Su Huaiming finished drinking the water, he made other demands, complaining about the cold one minute and the sun the next, ordering Fu Xiaoxiao around. Fu Xiaoxiao was so busy that her feet barely touched the ground, her face flushed with a healthy rosy glow.
Su Huaiming finally quieted down, and Fu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. She huffed and puffed as she climbed onto the sofa, her fair and tender face scrunched up in a frown.
He thought adults had it so easy, no one bothered them, they could eat lots and lots of ice cream, and do lots and lots of things, but reality was so different from what he had imagined.
