The staff surrounded Shen Qing, telling him, “Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Shen,” and Shen Qing continuously thanked everyone in return.

After work wrapped up, the dispersing crowd was quite large. Shen Qing didn’t spot his cubs, so he raised his voice slightly to ask where they were.

As he walked out of the shooting area, he happened to see Duo-duo snap his laptop shut with a “clack” and pack it into his bag.

Meanwhile, Ao-zai was still squatting next to Duo-duo, looking like a little water radish. When he saw Shen Qing, he blinked his eyes at him, then pattered over and hugged his thigh: “Daddy!”

Shen Qing immediately picked Ao-zai up.

It wasn’t that he spoiled the child and always loved carrying him; it was just that when Ao-zai came over to hug him, it was unbelievably adorable, like a giant sticky rice ball flying over and going splat against his leg.

Anyone would want to scoop him up and squish him!

Wang-zai Little Sweetheart’s live stream had completely blown up. Because the comments surged, the stream got pushed by the algorithm, and the people who clicked in ended up staying. As a result, the viewer count was now approaching four thousand, nearly doubling.

[Oh my god, it really is Shen Qing!]

[Ahhh Little Sweetheart, hold the camera steady, let me get a close look at Teacher Shen!]

[Ask for an autograph, you must ask for an autograph!!]

[Double fandom ecstasy!!]

[Wait, turn the camera back, I haven’t seen enough of the little handsome guy yet!]

At this moment on the stream, Shen Qing looked directly over.

Having just finished the shoot, Shen Qing hadn’t expected outsiders to be present, so he wasn’t wearing a hat or anything to hide his face.

During the shoot, he had only applied a light layer of makeup to accommodate the lighting director; in everyday lighting, he still looked practically bare-faced.

Moreover, because he was far from the camera, the stream’s built-in beauty filter had no effect. The broadcast displayed Shen Qing’s tall, slender build and his handsome, elegant features exactly as they were in reality.

[All the girls around me kept hyping up Shen Qing’s god-tier visuals. I couldn’t be bothered to look at him before, but now I actually believe it.]

[Did he notice the camera? Ahhh, we’re making eye contact!]

Shen Qing had indeed noticed the selfie stick and phone in Little Sweetheart’s hand. He couldn’t help but look at Tian Yi next to him, asking him what the situation was with her.

At that moment, Little Sweetheart finally snapped back to reality and immediately covered her camera lens with her hand.

“T-Teacher Shen, I’m sorry.”

Little Sweetheart wasn’t a massive streamer, but she knew a few C-list friends in the industry. She knew that some of a celebrity’s makeup and styling for work couldn’t be leaked ahead of time.

And Teacher Shen was wearing a white suit that looked incredibly noble and elegant, adorned with several blooming magnolia flowers. …Such an extravagant look was obviously styled specifically for a commercial photoshoot.

Otherwise, who would walk around wearing flowers on their body!

But it had to be said, while the flowers on Teacher Shen’s lapel seemed ostentatious at first glance, as soon as you took in those flowers along with Teacher Shen himself, it didn’t feel extravagant at all. Instead, it gave off the vibe of a true gentleman as refined as an orchid, with an extraordinary aura.

Even when not shooting a commercial pictorial, he was a walking piece of scenery!

Little Sweetheart had been completely mesmerized just now. She was genuinely struck by Shen Qing’s god-tier visuals, which was why she hadn’t reacted in time.

At this point, the bodyguard beside Teacher Shen leaned in and quietly explained the situation to him.

Clutching her camera lens tightly, Little Sweetheart watched as Shen Qing, after hearing the explanation, looked directly at her. He then chuckled softly, his clear voice ringing out with a smile: “So you’re Ao-zai’s friend.”

“T-Teacher Shen, I’m sorry…” Steeling herself, Little Sweetheart simply shut off her live stream altogether.

“It’s alright, it’s alright.”

Smiling, Teacher Shen looked completely different from a moment ago, appearing even more vibrant and radiant. Especially his eyes—when he smiled, they curved into crescents, clear and bright, with prominent aegyo sal.

Shen Qing had already walked over to Little Sweetheart and noticed the young woman had ended her stream.

Having browsed video platforms a lot recently, Shen Qing knew that abruptly ending a broadcast would cause a loss of viewership and negatively impact the streamer. He couldn’t help but add, “My cub brought you over and it interrupted your stream. I’m really sorry about that.”

Little Sweetheart: !

Teacher Shen… is seriously so beautiful and so polite!

“Ah, no no no, it’s not Ao-zai’s fault! I should be thanking Ao-zai…” she quickly replied. She knew full well that she was only able to walk over unhindered because she was holding Ao-zai’s hand, otherwise she would never have had this magical encounter!

“Well, thank you anyway,” Shen Qing said with a smile.

“…”

Little Sweetheart realized that Teacher Shen’s smile was truly breathtaking!

About ten minutes later, Little Sweetheart restarted her live stream.

This time, she had left the area and parted ways with Shen Qing and the others.

But the viewers who had been watching her earlier flooded back in like crazy. Little Sweetheart was also extremely excited: “Guys, do you understand?! Teacher Shen is seriously so sweet, so polite, so gentlemanly, and super easy to talk to!!”

As she spoke, Little Sweetheart showed off Teacher Shen’s autographed photo, along with signed mini-cards from Shen Qing’s cubs, and even a gift from Shen Qing—an entire set of aromatherapy essential oils!

It included a bottle of essential oil and a scented candle. The fragrance was the exact same scent that permeated the hotel, which Little Sweetheart loved, and it was a high-end luxury brand.

There were a full two sets—one for each of them. Teacher Shen had said her little assistant got one too.

[I just looked it up online, that bottle of essential oil alone is several hundred, the whole set must be over a thousand!]

[Holy crap, I’m so insanely jealous, one set for each person? Teacher Shen is so good at giving gifts.]

[He’s so warm, this is the first time I’ve seen someone not leave the little assistant out…]

[Wuu wuu wuu I want one too! This brand is pretty rare domestically, but it does smell amazing. Aolan actually uses this as their hotel fragrance? That is so ridiculously lavish, as expected of a five-star hotel.]

[Real-name jealousy here. Is Teacher Shen still around? I want to go try my luck for an encounter too. Being his fan must be so blissful qaq!]

There were too many comments for Little Sweetheart to reply to them all, but she specifically responded when she saw that last one: “Teacher Shen isn’t here anymore. Haha, I wasn’t actually his fan before this. Teacher Shen only gave me this gift because I’m Ao-zai’s good friend! But from now on, I’m definitely Teacher Shen’s fan, a die-hard one! Anyway, I’m just so happy today, hahaha.”

Little Sweetheart’s best friend and little assistant was also laughing non-stop beside her. “I never expected to get a gift either! I totally rode Wang-zai’s coattails!”

[Looks like naming really is important. The name Wang-zai wasn’t chosen in vain; didn’t it make her friends with the Little Young Master?]

[I’m still focused on the Eldest Young Master. For real or for fake? Is the Eldest Young Master really programming, and is he really only seven years old?!]

“For real,” Little Sweetheart replied, but feeling it wasn’t right for her to leak too many spoilers, she added, “In short, Teacher Shen is a genuinely amazing person, and his cubs are super impressive and super adorable. I’m locking my spot in right now—everyone make sure to tune into the parenting show on time!”

The moment Little Sweetheart’s stream disconnected, people had already posted about the incident online.

Netizens were a formidable and resourceful bunch. Shen Qing’s older cub, who had been omitted from the Genius Baby Camp trailer, had his screenshot from the live stream posted straight to the internet.

The child in the picture was quite slim with thin arms, yet his back was perfectly straight.

The camera only captured half of his side profile, but even from that angle, it was clear the boy had incredibly handsome features… big eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. His cheeks seemed to carry a hint of baby fat, but his expressionless, deeply focused demeanor made it less prominent, making him look incredibly cool at first glance.

What was even cooler was that he was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with a backdrop that was both lavish and messy.

Lavish because this was, after all, the corridor of a five-star hotel.

Messy because the child was surrounded by scattered bags and books, with an open laptop right in front of him.

It was quite artistic; the composition of the whole photo easily evoked the feeling of a profound, abstract, world-famous painting.

[Just looking at this image, if it wasn’t a kid, I would have thought it was some engineer carrying out emergency disaster relief.]

[…Case closed, I was wondering why it looked so jarring! Why is Shen Qing’s kid playing on the computer like that? Can Teacher Shen’s family not afford tables and chairs?]

[He’s not playing on the computer, he’s writing code.]

[That’s even more ridiculous. How could a kid that small know squat about writing code!]

However, more people watched the screen recordings of the stream uploaded by netizens and came back to explain in the replies:

[The little cub already explained it: his older brother just felt that finding a table and chair would waste too much time.]

[The strong never complain about their environment! Besides, how could the Eldest Young Master not find a table and chairs? Didn’t you see all those bodyguards standing around? The Eldest Young Master just isn’t fussy!]

[Shen Qing’s entire family has such great personalities. To those of you spouting hate the moment you open your mouths, go watch the recording, alright? With his older cub’s level of focus, I don’t think it matters whether there’s a table or not. He wouldn’t even notice anyway.]

Anyone who watched the recording was moved by the adorable and captivating human cub’s intense focus in that mere two-minute clip.

The person who posted the screen recording was just a passing netizen with barely any followers. Yet, because the topic was so explosive, the video’s likes broke past four thousand in just two short hours.

[It was so noisy around him, but he remained completely unfazed.]

[The only few times he looked up were to check on his little brother or his dad. This child is so incredibly good, Auntie loves him so much!]

[As expected of my future son-in-law! Once I give birth to a child, I’ll send them over to marry into his family!]

[Your future son-in-law? Stop joking, he’s the Eldest Young Master. This old servant is the first to forbid it!]

[You guys are trying to claim the Young Master for yourselves? This servant girl just wants to stay by his side and drink the leftover soup.]

[Your standards are all too high. As long as the Young Master is willing, this old servant will boil herself into soup for him to drink!]

Before the memeing had even died down, this netizen posted a second screen recording. It was from Wang-zai Little Sweetheart’s second broadcast, where she excitedly shared her interaction with Teacher Shen and the gifts she received from him.

The comments were mostly filled with envy and jealousy toward Little Sweetheart, along with a ton of praise for Shen Qing. Shen Qing’s official account was completely blown up by netizens’ messages over this incident.

However, as the situation evolved, a few dissenting voices emerged:

[Tell me this isn’t a script. Otherwise, where did Shen Qing get those aromatherapy essential oils? He carries around souvenir gifts for fans while out for work? So fake!]

[I agree. Plus, Shen Qing’s endorsements don’t include that brand of scented candles. Saying his assistant just happened to have them on hand doesn’t make sense either, especially a full two sets.]

Little Sweetheart was the first to address the netizens’ skepticism, specifically posting a video to clarify: “It really wasn’t a script. My veteran viewers should know I don’t have the qualifications to collaborate on a script with Teacher Shen. Even if they wanted to hire someone to act it out, they wouldn’t find someone like me with only a million-plus followers, right? Wouldn’t someone with ten million followers be better for promotion?”

“Also, Teacher Shen didn’t carry the gifts on him; he had a staff member go fetch them. He probably bought them from the hotel, but I was too embarrassed to ask about that!”

Very soon, a netizen left a reply under her clarification video:

[Little Sweetheart doesn’t need to explain. Are there seriously still people who don’t know? Aolan is literally one of the businesses owned by Shen Qing’s big-shot husband. Taking two fragrance sets from his own house to give as gifts isn’t a stretch, right?]

[Put that way, it really isn’t a stretch. Not a stretch at all…]

[My god, just what kind of wealth does Teacher Shen have!]

[Speaking of which, did Little Sweetheart see Shen Qing’s big-shot husband?! I’m so curious about the big boss too!]

But even after clearing up one issue, new doubts would spring up, such as:

[I still think it’s a bit fake. Between bringing kids and shooting commercial photos, it should be considered confidential, right? With so many bodyguards around, they somehow couldn’t stop a single streamer? Since when are celebrities that easy to approach!]

[Yeah, and the stuff with his kid is way too exaggerated. Are there really kids that young who can write code?]

[The little cub is weird too, just casually walking off with someone. And don’t you guys think both of those kids have personalities that are way too perfect?!]

Although these skeptical voices persisted, they undeniably fueled the hype for Genius Baby Camp.

Even more people grew curious about Shen Qing’s cubs. People who weren’t originally interested in parenting shows declared they would tune in, because while a few minutes of a script can be acted out, tiny little cubs couldn’t possibly fake it for an entire season!

Children are very candid; if it was really fake, it would probably be exposed the moment they appeared on screen!

Carrying the audience’s curiosity and skepticism, the first episode of Genius Baby Camp began filming.

The theme for the first episode was “Encounters.” The plan was for six separate crews to head to the six families’ homes to pick them up and bring them to a designated farmhouse to settle in. The schedule for the first day was quite relaxed.

To pursue and showcase authenticity, about 70% of the show’s segments would be broadcast via live stream across the internet. Of course, the production team would release an edited version later. But due to the massive pre-show hype and high discussion volume, even though the first broadcast was scheduled for 9:00 AM, large crowds of viewers flooded into the live stream early.

[I heard Shen Qing’s family lives in a mega-mansion, so I came to watch this stream, haha.]

[I get the feeling the cameraman won’t film the full view of Shen Qing’s house, but I’m curious about his cubs, so I’m camping here too.]

At 8:40 AM, the cameraman and director arrived promptly at Shen Qing’s front gate. The filming intentionally avoided house numbers and other private details, yet even so, the netizens were stunned by Shen Qing’s magnificent front gates.

[I still remember that ancient tea about several minor celebrities going to Shen Qing’s house to take pictures and pretend to flex their wealth… I didn’t understand what the point was back then, but it looks like the case is about to be cracked.]

[Haha, I ate that melon too! And Milk Channel wanted to borrow Shen Qing’s giant villa to film a home-living variety show, but Shen Qing refused, so Milk Channel and Shen Qing’s agency teamed up to smear him.]

[So the giant villa that Milk Channel couldn’t even get to film is being shown on this parenting show for free today? Then Shen Qing is actually really easygoing.]

[Speaking of which, this season of Milk Channel’s home-living variety show totally flopped again. Proves that if your character is trash, the shows you produce will be trash too.]

The production crew finally reached the door and rang the doorbell. Someone quickly answered—a butler dressed in a crisp suit.

“Madam has informed me. Please, come in,” the butler said, stepping aside with textbook-perfect posture to invite them inside.

The cameraman, host, and director had all brought specialized shoe covers to avoid dirtying the guest’s home. But at Shen Qing’s house, the butler told them it wasn’t necessary, because… the moment the main doors opened, both the crew outside and the viewers in the live stream were blinded by the spacious, brightly lit, and immaculately organized interior.

The high-quality floor tiles were scrubbed spotless, gleaming brilliantly.

The butler spoke politely with flawless etiquette, “You are all honored guests. Please do not worry about dirtying the floors; someone will clean up afterward.”

[…Of course someone will clean it, I think I just spotted a maid currently cleaning!]

[What era is this to still have maids… Shen Qing is flexing hard here.]

[Their house is huge. If they don’t hire people to mop, is Shen Qing supposed to mop it himself? I actually think if he had opened the door himself and there wasn’t a single nanny in sight, that would be fake.]

[Agreed, who said our Madam is putting on airs? This old servant is the first to disagree!]

To authentically reflect each family’s lifestyle, the production team had communicated with all the guests in advance: just act as you normally do; the goal was to show the audience the unfiltered reality of their daily lives.

Only authentic, original flavor makes for good viewing. Audiences nowadays have eagle eyes and can spot even a hint of fakeness. When it comes to reality shows, people want to see reality, not a staged performance.

Although Genius Baby Camp was a parenting show, the production team’s main selling point was sincerity. Veteran fans trusted them on this point, as it was one of the reasons the previous season had such a stellar reputation.

At this point, the camera moved forward, signaling that the host and cameraman had entered the house.

Since it was a parenting show and not a home tour, the director didn’t have the camera linger too long on Shen Qing’s house. Exercising tact, the host directly asked the butler where Teacher Shen and the cubs were.

“The Little Young Masters are over there.”

Following the butler’s direction, the cameraman crossed the massive living room and finally located the legendary cubs of Shen Qing’s family.

[Ahhh I’m actually getting so excited!]

The camera swept past Shen Qing’s open, uniquely designed, and highly tasteful spiral staircase, locking onto a table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Next to a long, richly textured wooden dining table, the viewers first spotted a tiny, perfectly round little back. He was kneeling on his chair, his face hidden from view, doing heaven knows what.

But from that cute little watermelon bowl cut alone, anyone could tell this was Shen Qing’s younger cub.

[This little back looks just like a round little watermelon =3=]

[Hahaha, when I watched that viral streamer video the other day, Ao-zai was a little carrot.]

[It’s normal; once he curls up into a ball, he’s a watermelon!]

[Ahhhh no matter what he is, Auntie loves him! Auntie wants to snuggle the baby!]

As the camera continued to close in on the area, the other cub also appeared in the live stream.

Unlike the chubby little back from a moment ago, this cub was currently sitting properly at the dining table, looking down at a book. Perhaps disturbed by the footsteps, he looked up at the sound. His gaze instantly locked onto the camera lens, and the viewers in the live stream found themselves making direct eye contact with the boy.

[…It really is Shen Qing’s cub, the side profile that appeared a couple of days ago!]

[Looking straight on, this kid is seriously handsome, but mainly his gaze is so sharp.]

[He still has a bit of baby fat, and his eyes are indeed a bit cold, but he feels so cool!]

As the barrage of comments flew by, the human cub facing the camera had already raised his wrist to check his children’s smartwatch. Without asking anyone about the situation, he simply stated, “Time is up.”

He only spoke those few words. His voice was still a tender, childish tone. Yet his delivery had an inexplicable dominant CEO vibe.

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, I was actually mesmerized by a little kid!]

The table was very large, but the cameraman skillfully framed both brothers in the shot. Hearing his older brother’s voice, the chubby-backed little Ao-zai started moving. Just as people in the live stream were questioning why such a small child wasn’t in a high chair and what would happen if he fell off a regular dining chair… the kid in the camera, who was sitting on an adult chair, shuffled around, flipped his body to face the backrest, and carefully slid down the chair inch by inch.

With a soft click-clack, the human cub landed steadily on the ground and slipped into his little slippers. His movements were incredibly neat and agile.

[So cute! The way he slid down holding onto the chair was too adorable!]

[Haha, as expected of the little cub, still as smart and nimble as ever!]

[It’s not like all little kids have to use high chairs. When we were young, who had those things at home? I’ve never seen a kid fall at home because of that.]

As the comments suddenly spiked, the two highly discussed little babies had already stood up. Ao-zai ran straight toward the cameraman uncle, tilting his big head up to look at the machine in his hands. He asked in a crisp voice, “Uncle, is this chine-chine turned on?”

Ao-zai knew this was called a machine, but lately, he had taken a sudden liking to using repetitive baby words, so he called the camera “chine-chine” (qi-qi).

The cameraman uncle was instantly knocked out by the cuteness. Not daring to make a sound, he quickly shot a glance at the director and host nearby. The host instinctively crouched down to observe this soft, porcelain-white doll up close. She answered, “Yes, it is turned on.” Her voice unconsciously softened.

Hearing her answer, the tiny human cub directly greeted the camera: “Hi!” He waved his chubby little paws and said, “Hello Aunties and Uncles, I am Ao-zai~”

[KWSL (So cute I could die)!!]

[A frontal shot of that baby face combined with the baby voice is a lethal combo. Ao-zai is just too adorable, awww!]

[To those who said it’s impossible for a little kid to be this well-behaved, you see it now, right? Our Little Young Master is just this well-behaved, and he’s super warm and friendly!]

[Look guys, the Eldest Young Master in the back is packing his things.]

The camera had been focusing on the two cubs, and since Ao-zai was too short, the cameraman had intentionally lowered the lens. However, the figure of the Eldest Young Master by the table could still be seen. He was silently packing the books on the table.

[Didn’t they say the Eldest Young Master loves writing code? Why isn’t he racing against time to write code right now?]

This comment was highlighted in red by the poster, and the tone was clearly sarcastic. Someone couldn’t help but fire back:

[Just because our Young Master isn’t writing it now doesn’t mean he wasn’t writing it then. Do you really need to be this critical watching a kids’ variety show?]

[Heh, if Shen Qing dares to market a genius cub, he should be prepared to be criticized.]

At this moment, Ao-zai had already run back to help his brother clear the table. The cameraman then gave Duo-duo and the tabletop a close-up shot. Duo-duo had just finished packing Ao-zai’s textbooks and was closing a book in front of him.

A sharp-eyed viewer immediately noticed: [The book the Eldest Young Master is reading seems to be an English original… At least, there’s not a single Chinese character.]

[A kid this small probably doesn’t know many Chinese characters anyway, right? He should be reading pinyin?]

[It’s not pinyin, and it’s not English, but it’s definitely a foreign language.]

[Raises hand. As an international student in Germany, I can confirm this is German.]

[German?! Can he even understand it?]

The director, who was very good at seizing trending topics, already knew that Teacher Shen’s cub was fluent in four foreign languages. Their production team wouldn’t stir up drama involving the cubs, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t slap the faces of certain anti-fans. He immediately signaled the host to guide the cub into speaking a few lines of the foreign language. The host leaned in and asked, “Duo-duo, what are you reading?”

Since she asked, Gu Duo answered: “It’s a German primary school textbook.”

“Ah?” The host was stunned. German was one thing, but a primary school textbook?! …Normally, people reading pure foreign language books wouldn’t be reading textbooks, right…

“Then Duo-duo, just now you were?…”

“Reciting the text.”

“Reciting…” The host took a deep breath and simply said, “Since Duo-duo can understand German, could you say a couple of sentences in German for us?”

Gu Duo gave the host sister a strange look. However, he had already done his homework beforehand and understood that the way to record a variety show was to answer whatever the host asked and do whatever he was told to the best of his ability. So, without any hesitation, Gu Duo recited a passage from the textbook on the spot.

His pronunciation was round and clear. Although most people couldn’t understand it. Everyone could hear how standard and fluent his pronunciation was as he recited the text.

[Dying of laughter, although the Eldest Young Master wasn’t racing against time to write code, he was reciting foreign language texts!]

[Looks like as long as you’re a primary school student, you can’t escape the fate of reciting textbooks, not even geniuses. …Hahaha, this is too real.]

[Guys, who gets it? I just had a fight with my son because he wouldn’t recite his texts, and I almost got a heart attack from anger. But suddenly I’m healed. Wuu wuu wuu, cloud-raising a cub is so good for physical and mental health!]

[I suggest you make your cub watch this with you. I’m watching it with my daughter right now, and she said she really likes this cool little brother and wants to learn from him.]

After finishing the recitation, Gu Duo calmly set the book down and placed it on the bookshelf nearby. There were many books in the living room. The host looked at the book he had put back and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you not taking this book with you? …We will be staying outside for two days, you know.”

Gu Duo shook his head. He pointed to a small children’s suitcase in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, indicating, “Taking those is enough.”

[…That can’t all be the Eldest Young Master’s books in there, right?]

Even though it was a children’s suitcase, it was much larger than a regular adult’s backpack. A netizen asked this question, and the host, sharing the exact same thought, voiced it out loud.

Gu Duo, however, calmly shook his head and said, “It’s not all books. There’s also a computer and a children’s tablet.”

The host: “…” Young Master Duo, you’re treating this like a real business trip!

“…Did you bring the computer to do some programming?” Since Young Master Duo had been unexpectedly exposed early, the whole internet now knew he wrote code. Knowing what everyone was curious about, the host directly brought up the meme.

Gu Duo gave the sister a strange look again, but still politely nodded in all seriousness: “If it doesn’t delay the filming and I have free time.” He still remembered that they were going out to record a variety show, not for a vacation.

The host and the director: …Both were moved! The Eldest Young Master is so dedicated to his work!!

The host quickly explained to him that the filming schedule wasn’t that intense, and there would definitely be free time. Over there, Duo-duo acted like it didn’t matter, but still politely replied with an “Mm.” —He had already accepted that these few days were for variety show business. Squeezing out even an extra minute to study was a bonus, so he didn’t actually care whether there was a lot of free time or not.

The host: … This calmly nodding cub is way too cool!

At this moment, an auntie wearing an apron walked over from the back side, which seemed to be the kitchen or a water bar. The auntie was holding children’s cups and another small children’s suitcase, explaining that it was filled with snacks, food, and even nutritional supplements.

The young masters were going out to stay for two days to record a show, and this time she couldn’t accompany them. Aunt Zhang was very reluctant to let them go. Pulling Duo-duo and Ao-zai aside, she gave them a whole barrage of instructions. She even took out all the food and snacks she had prepared to explain them one by one, detailing which ones were to be eaten on the road, which could be used as extra meals, which were for late-night snacks, and how to take the supplements…

[…So detailed, but can kids this small actually remember all that? Even if they remember, they don’t have the self-control, right!]

[Speaking of which, where is Shen Qing? Don’t tell me Shen Qing still hasn’t finished packing?]

[You can tell Shen Qing has never taken the kids out alone before. This auntie looks so worried.]

[But I still don’t get it, shouldn’t she be giving these instructions to Shen Qing?? They’re about to leave, why isn’t Shen Qing down yet? Can he even take care of the cubs by himself?!]

As the doubts in the comments increased, the host had no choice but to speak up on behalf of the audience. Voicing their questions, she asked Aunt Zhang, “Big sister, shouldn’t you be giving these instructions to Teacher Shen? Can the cubs remember all this?…”

“They can, they can.”

Aunt Zhang showed an affectionate ‘auntie smile’ to the camera. As the nanny who looked after the kids, she never skimped on praising the babies she cared for: “The young masters are both very smart, they can remember.”

The host: “…But these nutritional supplements, isn’t it bad for little kids to take them?” Aunt Zhang had just introduced a collagen peptide supplement. It felt unnecessary for a small child to take that.

“Also, aren’t there too many snacks?” Although the production team didn’t restrict the number or weight of luggage for this activity, packing a whole suitcase just for food… It was a three-day, two-night trip, and it wasn’t like the crew wouldn’t provide meals. Was it really necessary to bring this much?

“Those are prepared for our Madam.”

Aunt Zhang continued to beam affectionately, not thinking there was any issue with this at all: “The young masters eat very few snacks. Mostly, the Eldest Young Master usually doesn’t eat them, and the Little Young Master is too small to eat much. The rest are all packed for our Madam… It’s his first time traveling alone. Our Mister is worried, and I’m worried too.”

[…Sorry, I misunderstood. So this isn’t a nanny for the kids, this is an auntie meant to feed Shen Qing!]

[…Is Shen Qing a giant baby? He needs to bring snacks for a three-day trip?!]

Because Aunt Zhang had such a doting expression when she spoke, if she hadn’t introduced her identity to the camera beforehand, everyone would have almost thought she was Shen Qing’s mother! And the kind of mother who worries about her kid going out and can’t help but pack a ton of food for them!

So, those calling Shen Qing a giant baby were quickly attacked by other netizens:

[I don’t see any problem with this. Every time I go back to college, my mom packs this much stuff for me too. PS: Shen Qing is the same age as me.]

[It just shows that Shen Qing has a genuinely good personality. You can only have such a good relationship with the auntie if you have a good personality.]

[I was almost warmed to tears by this auntie’s smile. She really cares about her Madam so much!]

[Did you guys not hear the auntie say that ‘Mister is worried too’… Obviously, it was his husband who told her to pack it!]

The people participating in the recording didn’t know what was being discussed in the live stream, nor did they care. Little Ao-zai’s crisp voice directly chimed in: “Don’t worry Grandma Zhang, Gege and I will pwo-tect Little Dad!”

Ao-zai had heard Grandma Zhang say she was worried, so he immediately puffed out his little chest and made a guarantee. They would take good care of Little Dad!
