Chapter 3 Yang Mi is utterly frustrated and feels like she could scrape out a three-bedroom apartment with her toenails!
In the studio, Yang Mi’s lips twitched, and she was helpless. She knew her husband was laid-back, but this was a live broadcast… The thought of millions of viewers watching made her feel like she could scrape out a three-bedroom apartment with her toenails!
“Hahaha, really living up to the 00s! Just to get some sleep, taking a leave of absence is no big deal,” one comment said.
“Once upon a time, the little one has grown up!” another commented.
“Xiaoxiao is really having a tough time,” someone else wrote.
“The 00s are all about rebellion, even though they’re parents now, still so unreliable,” another person remarked.
“I can’t stop laughing at Gu Xu and Mi Jie’s expressions!” One more commented.
“Mi Jie must be dizzy, right?”
Clearly, the audience in the live stream was laughing hysterically, and the bullet comments were flooding the screen.
…
Amidst the laughter, Gu Xu got out of bed to wash up, while Xiaoxiao had already started washing her face. As Xiaoxiao washed her face, she not only wrapped herself in a waterproof cloth but also carefully washed every corner of her face. She made sure there wasn’t any water on her body! The entire process was very skilled, clearly something she did regularly!
This was in sharp contrast to the other family. The 80s dad, Du Chun, did everything himself, afraid that his child would do something wrong. On the other hand, Gu Xu, a 00s dad, trusted his child to handle things.
And this scene, seen by the viewers, made the kids’ ability to take care of themselves very clear. When Xiaoxiao came out of the bathroom, Gu Xu gave her a thumbs-up and said, “Xiaoxiao, you’re awesome!”
“Your face is really clean!”
“Don’t forget to wash your dad’s face when he can’t move in bed one day!”
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and replied, “Stinky dad, dream on!”
Their father-daughter conversation made the audience burst into laughter.
“I can’t take it, I’m dying of laughter. These two are so funny.”
“Yeah! Not only is he not helping his daughter, but he’s also expecting her to wash him when he’s old.”
“Feels like Su Zhe is really unreliable!”
“Indeed, 00s parents can’t compare to 80s parents. Those parents truly cherish their children!”
“Can we stop bringing the 00s into everything? Makes the 80s seem so superior.”
“Exactly. I actually think Gu Xu is doing it right!”
“Look at the self-care skills, it’s completely different.”
“This isn’t self-care, the child is still young, needs taking care of. This is just irresponsible.”
As the situation unfolded, there were more differing opinions in the bullet comments. Some thought Gu Xu was too unreliable, while others believed his method was fine and that self-care should be nurtured from a young age.
…
Meanwhile, Gu Xu had already taken Xiaoxiao out of the villa to get some breakfast. They drove to a street-side shop, and Gu Xu surveyed the nearby breakfast spots before asking, “Xiaoxiao, what do you want to eat?”
“Youtiao? Soy milk, buns? Savory pancakes, or meat-stuffed buns?”
Gu Xu listed a bunch of options for her to choose from.
“Meat-stuffed buns?” Xiaoxiao thought for a moment before answering.
Soon, Gu Xu took Xiaoxiao to a meat-stuffed bun shop. Luckily, the place wasn’t too busy, and the owner quickly prepared the meat-stuffed buns and soy milk.
“Thank you, boss!”
“Goodbye, boss!”
Xiaoxiao politely took the food and greeted the owner. Then, she expertly inserted a straw into the soy milk and began eating.
But after just a couple of bites, Xiaoxiao noticed that her dad’s hands were empty and asked, “Dad? Why didn’t you buy anything for yourself?”
Seeing this, Gu Xu smiled slightly and said, “Dad’s not hungry. You can eat first.”
“We still have leftover food at home. I can just heat it up when we get back.”
Gu Xu’s words sounded quite selfless, portraying a very loving father figure!
This remark made the live stream audience sit up and take notice.
“Hey! I didn’t expect this. Gu Xu may be lazy, but he’s actually really good to his daughter!”
“Yeah! He’s just like Teacher Du, a good dad!”
“Exactly, they both save the good food and drinks for their kids. Parents’ love is truly selfless and great!”
“I was wrong about him!”
For a moment, many viewers couldn’t help but sigh.
Although he couldn’t get out of bed… He was actually quite reliable when it came to doing things, wasn’t he?
And this scene…
It made Yang Mi in the studio…
Let out a sigh of relief.
“Good, good, good. At least Gu Xu realized this is a live broadcast. My man is indeed clever!”
However, just as the bullet comments were praising Gu Xu, something happened that nearly made everyone fall to the ground.
Xiaoxiao, rolling her eyes, retorted, “Dad, are you not embarrassed saying that?”
“I’m speechless for you!”
“That sounds so nice, but every time you send me to school, you buy a ton of food for yourself.”
“Let’s not talk about the bullfrog last time.”
“I still clearly remember the steak the day before yesterday. And even yesterday, wasn’t it you eating all the grilled skewers?”
“You just keep lying to me!”
As Xiaoxiao said this, her eyes were about to roll up to the sky!
After all, she had caught him in the act so many times…
Every time, her dad wouldn’t admit it. Xiaoxiao wasn’t angry about what her dad said, what really made her mad was that every time they ate something good, they didn’t take her along.
“I still remember that day I had a cold.”
“You made me some noodles!”
“You said drinking something hot would help with the cold! But after I ate my fill, you and Mom secretly ate KFC!”
“…”
Xiaoxiao sulked, furiously listing out Gu Xu’s crimes!
“Ah this…”
Once these words came out, Gu Xu froze up.
To be honest…
What Xiaoxiao said was all true.
He used to be able to fool her.
But now, Xiaoxiao had been fooled too many times. It seemed like his daughter had adapted to it…
“Ahem, Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about?”
“You’re still young!”
“You’ll have plenty of chances to eat good food in the future!”
“But your dad and mom are already old! If we don’t eat now, it’ll be too late. Don’t you think so?”
Faced with this, Gu Xu had no choice but to dig himself deeper into a hole with an excuse.
“What’s that supposed to mean? You two don’t want to take me, I understand, but you two sneak off to eat, and still don’t leave anything for me!”
“I want to eat too!”
To this, Xiaoxiao poured out all her frustrations. What did she do to deserve such unreliable parents?
She really felt like crying without any tears.
“Alright, alright, Dad knows. Next time, I’ll make sure to teach your mom a lesson and make sure she saves some for you!”
“It’s not that I don’t want to save any for you…”
“It’s just that your mom won’t let me!”
“The blame is really on your mom!”
And with that, Gu Xu threw the responsibility completely onto his wife, without a shred of guilt.
_____
However, the viewers in the live stream were completely dumbfounded. They had just been praising Gu Xu for being responsible. His fatherly image was grand!
But now, that image came crashing down. This was just too outrageous. It was hard to imagine… that anyone could do something like this!
