Dad, Please Let Me Have You as My One-Pick!

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to debut so you won't have to work so hard!"

Chu Yuanqing was touched, but more than that, she was slightly annoyed.

How strange! This Little Cotton-padded Jacket is so stubborn! I told her not to work so hard, and you're telling me you'll definitely try to debut? Rebellious, huh?!

Chu Yuanqing gritted his teeth in anger, controlling his Magic Clone to tap Hei Xinmian on the head. The little girl clutched her head in pain, blinking in confusion. She looked at her Dad for a while before belatedly realizing the reason, and awkwardly laughed:

"It's okay, all my friends are optimistic, positive, and cheerful. They all train very carefully, so no one will get hurt."

Optimistic and positive? Upbeat and cheerful? Very tactful?

Chu Yuanqing fell silent.

Putting aside everything else, the Green Eyed Cat that has recently become closer to my daughter is completely unrelated to these things; it's the complete opposite and a classic negative example—a problem child that my Little Cotton-padded Jacket shouldn't imitate in any way.

After thinking it over for a while, she said, "You don't need to worry about Dad. You know what you're doing," and ended the topic.

Some things are best done in moderation. Just like what happened earlier, saying it actually gave my Little Cotton-padded Jacket even more motivation.

After they finished speaking, the two browsed the art exhibition again, and half an hour quickly passed.

In the Live Broadcast Room, many viewers accompanied the father and daughter through the art exhibition, feeling not only enriched by art but also deeply moved.

"Waaaah, Uncle Chu is so gentle! He brought Yue Bao to the Van Gogh exhibition on purpose to put pressure on her, and then told her some stories to show her that she didn't have to work so hard, right? I'm so touched."

"You've always been the moon in my heart, am I smitten???"

"Sorry, ladies, from now on I'm a die-hard fan of Yue Bao. How can someone as charming as Yuebao stay single? I have to give Yue Bao a complete family!!!"

"You motherfucker?! You don't even spare other men's fathers?! You beast, put your bitter tea on right now?!"

"Congratulations! I declare Yue Bao the champion of the parent-child segment!!"

"Satisfied. We've gotten enough of the parent-child return quota from Yue Bao, haven't we???"

"From now on, Yue Bao will be the parent-child star! With Qing Bao as her mom on the show and Uncle Chu as her gentle and handsome dad off the show, what can stop her? A huge win! Win win win???!"

On the other side, there's a restroom inside the art exhibition.

Chu Yuanqing coughed a few times, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. She glanced at the pale, sickly-looking figure in the mirror, her slender hands cupping the pendant on her chest, and whispered:

"There's not much time left."

Although Little Liuli's "assistance" successfully quadrupled the time she spent with her daughter, the Magic Replenishment buff was more like a temporary buff that quickly restored mana, rather than significantly expanding the upper limit of the mana source.

This buff is almost depleted. Unless she runs back to the coffee shop and pins the Green Eyed Cat to the ground, kissing and cuddling him, this meeting will soon come to an end.

In order to prevent one's physical condition from being so bad that the problem could be detected at a glance, the magic power in the lantern cannot be used up all at once. In addition, considering the need to reasonably allow the Magic Clone to retreat, at least ten minutes' worth of magic power must be reserved.

Therefore, we need to get closer.

After wandering around, the father and daughter returned to the sunflower field at the very center of the art exhibition.

Chu Yuanqing pointed to the watch on his wrist and said with some regret:

"Xiao Shu, I should probably head back now."

Chu Wangshu felt somewhat disappointed, but compared to when she was in the coffee shop, she felt a brighter mood, filled with anticipation for the next meeting and longing and hope for the future.

This is just a farewell. She will definitely have many more opportunities to travel to various places with her Dad in the future. If she has the money, she might even be able to travel all over the world.

Chu Wangshu smiled and said:

"Okay, Dad, you can go back now. I need to go back to dance practice too."

Chu Yuanqing nodded, but instead of leaving first, he looked around at the scenery and said softly:

"Xiao Shu, do you remember the sunflower field I took you to when you were little?"

Chu Wangshu nodded. Of course she remembered. It was a rare photo of the two of them taken there. To this day, that photo is still in a frame, placed on the Living room table, and is frequently wiped clean, remaining as good as new.

Chu Yuanqing said with a smile:

"Before we leave, shall we take one last group photo?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Wangshu's eyes lit up, and she said happily:

"Okay, Dad, wait here for me. I'll go ask someone to borrow a phone stand, or help me take a picture."

After saying that, she couldn't wait to get started.

But the next moment, a familiar, gentle, and captivating voice, as clear as snow, interrupted her actions:

"Xiao Shu, if you don't mind, let me take the photos for you?"

At this moment, the perfect prototype of Chu Wangshu's ideal stepmother, the popular trainee whom countless netizens have been searching for and trying to check her status for, happened to be standing not far away, smiling at her.

It was Chu Yuanqing.

Volume 1: 95. My favorite child, Public Performance video. (5K views, please vote!)

In the Live Broadcast Room camera,

Chu Yuanqing's appearance was "simple and unpretentious," with her soft black hair tied in a ponytail, her clear eyes blinking, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, and her smile full of joy.

The Center position on Public Performance was still wearing the white shirt and white skirt she wore during the performance, but she had shed that domineering and arrogant aura that commanded the radiance of others, and was now as harmless and approachable as a girl next door.

She simply stood there, radiating a halo of sunlight, like a living work of art, far surpassing the surrounding imitations, exuding a youthful beauty that the general public could directly enjoy.

Now,

Bathed in the gaze of millions, Chu Yuanqing walked in with the grace and poise of a stage. The melodious music that should have matched the art exhibition seemed to submit to her, spontaneously rising in a passionate and magnificent tone. With each step she took, she moved closer to the camera, creating a stunning visual spectacle rarely seen in the Chinese Entertainment Industry.

In an instant, the submerged Yuan Xiao Yuan Fan was blown out:

"Aaaaaaah, it was me who pushed the baby!!!"

"My Qing Bao, my Qing Bao, there are four kinds of rulers in the world: straight rulers, tape measures, vernier calipers, and 'I love you very much, my Qing Bao???'"

"Yay! With Qing Bao's sudden appearance, my heart feels like spring has returned, but has the demon been resurrected?!"

"I can't stand it! What was Qing Bao doing all this time? She didn't post on Weibo or go out to play. Was she secretly having sex with someone???"

"Speechless. Even the solo fans can't take it anymore. Can you please stop making wild guesses about things that have nothing to do with each other? My girl's sexual orientation is perfectly normal. You bunch of female fans are going crazy and making it easy for Qing Mei to be exploited!"

"What kind of Yuanqing brand magnet is Chu Wangshu? How come he always manages to bump into my Qing Bao so easily?"

"Mommy, I've decided! If I can't catch Qing Bao, I'll just camp out near Yue Bao and wait for her to come to me!"

"So cute, so cute, so cute! Honey, can I have a kiss?!"

"Sha, praise to Your Qing God???"

Chu Wangshu was just as delighted as the viewers in the Live Broadcast Room. She felt today was her lucky day, and everything was going in a positive direction. She nodded repeatedly, happily saying:

"Oh, right, Xiao Qing, are you here to see the art exhibition too?"

Chu Yuanqing looked at the adorable Little Cotton-padded Jacket and couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her cheek, subtly making up for the regret of not being able to physically touch her. He smiled and said:

"Yes, because I really like the sunflowers here."

"We can talk about that later. Let me take a picture of you and your uncle first."

As Chu Yuanqing spoke, he took the phone from the Little Cotton-padded Jacket's hand, naturally took a few steps back, opened the camera, and looked through the lens at the scene of the father and daughter standing in front of the sunflower field.

The girl's expression was nostalgic, her eyes filled with expectation, and the curve of her lips revealed increasingly complex emotions.

She slightly raised her eyes, indicating that the "two" were about to take a picture, and moved closer to each other. After the Magic Clone and the Little Cotton-padded Jacket obediently complied, she pressed the shutter button, recording this moment that would become even more precious in the future.

If only time could freeze at this moment.

At this moment, Chu Wangshu, who was being photographed, and Chu Yuanqing, who was taking the photo, couldn't help but feel a similar sentiment in their hearts.

Chu Yuanqing looked at the perfectly composed group photo on her phone with just the right amount of natural light. She thought to herself that she should print it out before she passed away, get a frame, and display it at home. She glanced at it a few more times, then handed the phone back, saying confidently:

"Here, take your phone back. How did you like the photos?"

Chu Wangshu glanced at it, her expectant smile froze slightly, and her pupils dilated in shock.

The composition is poor, the shot is not well captured, and the angle is terrible. If I had to say something, only a few rays of light were appropriate and made the scene look warm.

This is nothing like the skillful photography technique of most girls her age; instead, it's just as bad as her Dad's photography skills, giving it a kind of back-to-basics beauty.

But...

Chu Wangshu glanced at the person in front of her and caught a glimpse of the rare confidence the other person exuded. She felt as if an arrow had shot into her heart, and suddenly she found the photo on her phone much more pleasing to the eye.

Hmm, even her poor photography skills are incredibly cute on Qingqing!

Chu Wangshu handed her phone to the Magic Clone beside her; she didn't expect her Dad's aesthetic sense to have evolved after ten years.

As expected, Chu Yuanqing showed no displeasure whatsoever. He patted her head, nodded to Chu Yuanqing, smiled, and said:

"Xiao Shu, have fun with your friends, I'm leaving now."

Chu Wangshu was about to nod when a sudden idea struck her. She quickly grabbed the other person's sleeve and said:

"Dad, wait a minute, can you take another picture with me and Xiao Qing together?"

Chu Yuanqing fell silent. She and her Magic Clone exchanged a glance. The two perspectives that had flashed through her mind seemed particularly bizarre in the present moment. What a strange turn of events! Taking a photo with her Magic Clone and her daughter—it just seemed odd no matter how you looked at it.

It's just that guilt and a desire to make amends, coupled with the ability to establish an alibi, make them more credible.

There's no need to object to my daughter's small request.

Chu Yuanqing controlled his Magic Clone to stand still, continuing to play both roles by himself. He watched as his Little Cotton-padded Jacket happily ran to pull a staff member aside, stood happily in the middle, one arm around the other, and smiled at the camera.

Then, another very special group photo was captured on my phone.

Chu Wangshu took the phone as if it were a treasure. She looked at the photo of the three of them and smiled foolishly for a while, feeling a sense of satisfaction and happiness welling up inside her.

Wow, they actually managed to get Xiao Qing and her Dad to take a picture together! That's amazing!

Even though I can only think about it in my heart, if I secretly imagine a family photo, it doesn't seem to matter whether there's a stepmother or not.

Because I was very happy,

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket waved goodbye to her Magic Clone, her adorable face beaming with smiles.

Chu Yuanqing didn't quite understand this, but as long as his daughter was happy, it wasn't a big problem.

Then, while controlling her Magic Clone to blend into the crowd and gradually walk away, she seamlessly replaced the Magic Clone and walked out of the Van Gogh memorial exhibition with her Little Cotton-padded Jacket.

The live stream camera locked onto the two individuals, and a nano-camera was used to follow them.

Chu Yuanqing had a keen sense of danger. After seeing a large number of crazy comments appearing in the live stream, he realized that there was a live camera nearby.

However, since Chu Yuanqing is not a contestant and has not signed a contract with Flash Dance, filming her without her consent would violate the privacy rights of the Great Xia Dynasty. Therefore, she is not worried about any cameras following her around.

After all, given the scale of this program, there's no need to do something so thankless. Following 166 beautiful young women is far better than filming middle-aged men, isn't it?

Chu Yuanqing silently pulled back her daughter, who wanted to go back to the base to practice dancing, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Shu, free time is precious; you might not have this opportunity again. It's only 3 PM now, and there's still plenty of time before it ends. Shall we walk around a bit more before heading back?"

Chu Wangshu's initial ambition to improve himself instantly crumbled and vanished without a second thought.

That's right. Even if I practice dancing for a few hours now, I won't improve my skill level much, but the time I spend with Qingqing now is real and precious, a golden opportunity.

The more the girl thought about it, the more she realized it made sense. This was a level of companionship that even Qingqing roommates never received. She wondered where all those other guys were now— the Green Eyed Cat, the golden retriever who fixed the Sakura Girl, the Genius Choreographer —they had never had such an honor.

You can practice dancing anytime, but if you miss this opportunity, you'll truly miss it!

Chu Wangshu, with a serious expression, nodded in agreement.

"You're right, Qingqing, let's go play together."

Chu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little Proud. She thought her daughter would insist on practicing dance, but she was persuaded so easily. This showed that her persuasion was quite effective!

As for where to go, the film and television base in Sea Capital is very large, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is all-encompassing. Even a program of the scale of "Flash Dance" only booked out the entire Zhelong Town in the central district.

Art exhibitions, amusement parks, Ming and Qing dynasty streets, Han and Tang dynasty streets, Republican-era architectural complexes, and all sorts of other attractions—some are open to the public, while others only allow access to designated personnel.

While Dream Weaver Rabbit claims to allow free movement, the areas the contestants can visit are only those that require special permission to access, in order to prevent any safety incidents caused by media or fans waiting in the wings.

So after much thought, she decided to take her daughter to the amusement park.

Although not many facilities are operational, the exterior design has a fairytale feel, and riding the carousel and pirate ship is quite nice.

However, the scene where Chu Yuanqing, out of a sense of compensation, took the initiative to invite his daughter to play together was interpreted by the various Yuan Xiao Fan in the support group as having a deeper meaning:
