Chapter 71p1
It wasn’t just the babies who were tortured by the program team for over an hour in the evening.
Even though Wei Maomao wasn’t very curious, Wei Chengli still shared his experience of the mental attack immediately.
And soon, Wei Chengli received a calm confirmation from the little chubby dumpling.
Comparing their experiences, they discovered that they were both answering questions during the individual interviews, and… from the same question bank.
“So you were also asked ‘What kind of dad do you think your dad is?’, ‘What kind of dad do you want?’, ‘What kind of baby do you think you are?’, ‘What kind of baby should a baby be?’… those kinds of questions?” Wei Chengli, frowning slightly, picked out the questions he was most concerned about from the complex and detailed questions, confirming with the little chubby dumpling again.
“Mmm.” Wei Maomao answered briefly, then took a sip of her almost empty orange juice.
Ninety questions, the program team had kept them for over an hour, a glass of room-temperature orange juice for the baby, a glass of iced lemon juice for the dad, that was the program team’s last act of humanity.
So they did know that answering so many questions would make them want to vomit!
Wei Chengli, who had finished his lemon juice during the quiz, looked at the little chubby dumpling’s orange juice and licked his lips enviously.
“So many questions, do you think…” Wei Chengli, who could only drink water, tried to analyze the reason behind the program team’s strange actions. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the little chubby dumpling’s raised paw.
“Daddy, stop asking. I don’t want to answer questions anymore.” Wei Maomao finished the last bit of sour juice in her glass, wiped her mouth, then stretched and casually glanced at Wei Chengli’s wrist.
It was almost ten o’clock…
So late, it seemed she could only ask Liu Ming to tell her tomorrow.
Wei Maomao thought about the thing she was supposed to do tonight, but was probably too late now, and felt a bit annoyed.
But regardless of her curiosity, annoyance, or the late hour, the program team’s task card arrived as it pleased, unstoppable.
The content of the task card this time was simple, yet complex.
Simple because it only had two sentences: [Starting tomorrow, the babies and dads will switch roles. Babies will become parents, responsible for working and supporting the family, dads will become children, responsible for being pretty.]
Wei Chengli’s eyes were on his own task card, but his ears were listening to the staff member next to him reading the little chubby dumpling’s task card, every word, identical.
Okay, both the dozens of mind-numbing questions tonight and the contrasting footage shown during dinner now had a reason.
It wasn’t meaningless torture, it wasn’t a sudden act of kindness, it wasn’t even a mid-show summary, it was all preparation for this task…
Wei Chengli gripped the thin task card, the words were simple, just babies and dads switching roles.
But!
Starting tomorrow, when would it end?
How were the babies supposed to act as parents, how were they supposed to support the family?
And how were the dads supposed to act as children…
Wei Chengli didn’t believe that the program team would just give them these two lines and let them do whatever they wanted.
Pitfalls, every word seemed to have a hidden pitfall…
Just as Wei Chengli was trying to decipher more from those two short sentences, the little chubby dumpling sitting next to him jumped off the ground and was about to run out of the courtyard.
“Where are you going!” Wei Chengli quickly followed, grabbing the back of her clothes and pulling her back into his arms. “No running to Yan Yan’s house! We agreed to sleep in our own homes!”
Wei Chengli was truly afraid that the little dumpling, who was so attached to Yan Yan, would suddenly change her mind and go provoke Cheng Feiying again.
But to Wei Chengli’s surprise, the little chubby dumpling didn’t struggle, she just turned to look at him with a helpless expression.
“Daddy, I’m going to be a parent tomorrow, working and taking care of you, I’ll be very busy. I’m still a baby now, I have my own things to do.” Wei Maomao sighed tiredly.
Wei Chengli: ??? She was adapting to the role a bit too quickly, wasn’t she?
Since the little chubby dumpling had said so, Wei Chengli, who was about to be taken care of tomorrow, couldn’t stop her.
But it was getting dark, for safety reasons, Wei Chengli still wasn’t comfortable letting the little chubby dumpling go out alone.
Wei Maomao didn’t mind Wei Chengli following her, she was just worried that because the program team’s interview had taken much longer than expected, the person she wanted to see might already be asleep…
As the little dumpling, leading a team of people, hurried through the alley, the viewers in the live broadcast room finally recovered from the terrifying ninety questions.
“Hahaha, for over an hour earlier, I thought the program team had gone crazy, now it seems it was all foreshadowing for tomorrow. But this foreshadowing is a bit too much, I didn’t even answer the questions, just watching, and I felt my brain knotting up.”
“So the reason the program team showed the contrasting footage of the babies playing and the dads working hard during dinner was to set an example for their role swap tomorrow? Hahaha, they’re afraid the babies won’t know how to be parents, but are they also afraid the dads won’t know how to be babies?”
“I don’t know about the other babies, but our CEO Mao, she got into character instantly. Hahaha, ‘Let me slack off today because I have to work tomorrow,’ she’s quite organized for her age.”
“CEO Mao is going to be a parent, tomorrow’s breakfast will be mush! The kind without ginger! Strongly suggesting the program team prepare the same ingredients from the first day’s lunch for CEO Mao, hahaha!”
“The program team knows how to play. Will the babies finally turn the tables when they become parents?”
“Our CEO Mao isn’t the kind of person who would retaliate with mush~~~ She’s too preoccupied with braiding hair, she has no time for Director Wei, hahaha.”
“CEO Mao truly… This afternoon, a child from the neighbor’s house passed by Grandma Zhao’s courtyard, Wen Jiangyue saw her and took out a dressing table from the toy pile, wanting to play with braiding hair, CEO Mao was just watching from the side. Then Wen Jiangyue pulled Yan Yan to braid her hair, CEO Mao watched for a bit, then secretly went to ask Grandma Zhao if she could contact the neighbor and ask her to teach her how to braid hair tonight. I thought it was just a three-year-old’s whim, I didn’t expect that after being bombarded by ninety questions, CEO Mao still remembered.”
“Hahaha, to be honest, Wen Jiangyue’s hair-braiding skills are inversely proportional to her memorization skills. Yan Yan’s hair was truly a mess… In the end, Yan Yan had to retie her ponytail herself, otherwise, it would have been a whole afternoon of black history, hahaha.”
“Our CEO Mao, so eager to learn even late at night, I’m truly curious about how beautiful she’ll be tomorrow morning~~~ I’m so excited!”
“Raising my hand timidly… I don’t think CEO Mao is learning to braid her own hair. I saw her approach Grandma Zhao after seeing Yan Yan being pulled to braid her hair, isn’t she learning to braid Yan Yan’s hair?”
“The person above, don’t be timid! Be confident! I think you’re right. CEO Mao… She doesn’t even have the concept of combing her hair in the morning, she just rubs her hair and gets out of bed, hahaha. If Director Wei didn’t take care of her, she would be running around with messy hair all day. CEO Mao doesn’t seem like the type who wants to be prim and proper.”
“Honestly… Cheng Feiying truly… The moment he showed the most love for Yan Yan was probably on the first day, before leaving the house, when he divided the two eggs among the three of them! Some things, you can’t judge based on a single incident, the truth is often hidden in the details. Cheng Rongrong’s hair, he braids it every day, although not as meticulously as on the first day, it does get rougher each day, but even today, the roughest one, it was still braided and decorated with several hair clips… But Yan Yan’s ponytail, she always ties it herself.”
“I always thought Yan Yan just liked simple ponytails, after all, it suits her temperament, clean and neat. Until today, when I saw Wen Jiangyue pulling Yan Yan, wanting to braid her hair like the little girl who just walked past the courtyard, although Yan Yan was a bit embarrassed, she seemed… quite expectant?”
“Aww! You guys are so observant! My heart ached! CEO Mao, learn well, make both you and Yan Yan beautiful tomorrow!”
