Chapter 88
Half a month later, King Ji logged into his social media account again. In addition to showing affection with his wife as in previous years, he also specially shared a video.
In the video, the little milk baby said very seriously:
"I hope Ruo Ruo will grow up and film a hugely popular movie every year, and then invite Mama to attend the premiere!"
The video ended with subtitles from the man complaining:
Seeking help!!
How can I get my daughter to want to become a singing and dancing idol in the future, and then invite me to be a guest?
After watching, netizens directly laughed wildly on the spot:
[[Hahahaha, this family really cracks me up. Ji Mochen, if it comes down to it, just have your daughter double down on acting and singing!]]
[[Ah this... Does Ruo Ruo really want to enter the entertainment industry so early?]]
[[Is Ruo Ruo going to act in the future?!!!]]
...
The most ruthless was one of Ling Chujin's biggest fans:
[[Ji Mochen, I can only help you this far.]]
Below was an edited video. Clicking on it, this fan had actually completely replaced the audio.
Nothing else was changed, just the "filming a hugely popular movie" was changed to "holding a huge concert"
And "invite Mama to attend the premiere" was changed to "invite Papa to attend the concert."
[[I feel this could work. Who knows, maybe in the future Ruo Ruo herself will forget she said this. Then you can show your daughter this video, and pull the wool over her eyes!]]
Ji Mochen after clicking to open the video: ...I really thank you guys!
To tell the truth, other than feeling a bit jealous that his daughter had given such a big wish to his wife, Ji Mochen sharing this video was also a subtle way of vaccinating netizens.
Although no one can predict the future, when that day really comes, he also doesn't want his daughter to be said to be walking in her mother's footsteps. With this video as evidence, if the child really goes into acting in the future, it can also be attributed to her mother, and wanting her mother to see the movies she acts in.
On the other side, Ling Chujin obviously had the same concern.
So that night, mother and daughter nestled together on Ji Ruochu's little bed.
"Ruo Ruo, Mama is very happy that you said you want to act in the future, but...you're still little. Let's study happily and don't think too much. Mama hopes that you can control your own future, don't easily change for anyone.
Even if it's your father or mother, or your future partner, you can't, understand?"
"Okay, Mama."
Ji Ruochu spoke in a soft, tender voice, extremely well-behaved.
She understood Ling Chujin's meaning. She also didn't plan to rush out and start acting early. School came first right now.
She could always act later, but the time for school would be gone if she missed it.
Thinking back on when she was poor in college, constantly working odd jobs to send money back to the orphanage.
Starting in her sophomore year when she signed with the company, she was always at the company's beck and call, failing several classes in her major.
Now that she could start over again, she naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity. She had listened to the story of Father Time since she was little.
...
After that day, Ji Ruochu did immerse herself wholeheartedly in her studies every day.
Not just her, even the two little friends who loved to play with her were also busy, presumably preparing for enrollment next year.
Ji Ruochu didn't ask which class they were going into. Anyway...it couldn't be worse than her little i class.
Diligent study time always flies by fast(slowly) and in the blink of an eye(after a long wait) it was time for Ji Ruochu to start school.
By this time, having completed all her preschool supplementary classes, backpack full of limited edition school supplies, Ji Ruochu going to school
suddenly felt as if she had aged—no, grown a few years older again.
Perhaps this was the power of knowledge!
"Ruo Ruo, Daddy asked the teacher, for the first day of school today, the teacher will take you guys to do arts and crafts together."
The old father reluctantly sent his daughter to the school gates, eyes already turning red.
"Arts and crafts class is really fun. We just need to have fun, don't be scared!"
Ji Ruochu: ......
So who exactly is scared? "Wahhh...Daddy! Mommy!"
The loud cries of a child nearby rang out, causing the Ji father and daughter to look over simultaneously.
Oh! It was actually a familiar face!
Seeing the slightly fatter little chubby dun from a year ago, Ji Ruochu raised her eyebrows.
"Sweetheart, how about we don't go to preschool?"
Ji Mochen picked up Ji Ruochu who was about to head towards the school gates, voice choking with emotion:
"You said Daddy won't be there, what if someone bullies you? Let's go home, we'll come to school next time!"
Ji Ruochu watching herself get farther and farther from the school gates: ???
"Daddy, Mommy! I also want to go home and come to school next time! I want to go home! I want to go home!!!"
Seeing this, the little chubby dun next to them cried even harder.
Wahhh...he hated school!!
In no time, the other children were influenced by his crying, and also started demanding to go home.
The teacher at the gates looked at the distant backs of the Ji father and daughter, then at the chaotic mess at the school gates. She was instantly speechless.
It seemed they hadn't expected that the most difficult to handle this year would not be the children, but the doting fathers...
"Daddy!" Ji Ruochu forcibly held the car door shut, fuming, "I'm going to get angry!"
Ling Chujin had also planned to come send her off today, but Ji Ruochu was worried she would be sad, so had her stay home and asked the father who looked more reliable to come instead.
But now, this guy had almost taken her back! Unbelievable!
Ji Ruochu had no choice but to make a call on her smartwatch.
Beep—
"Ruo Ruo, aren't you going to school today? Why are you suddenly calling Grandpa?"
The call was quickly picked up, and a kindly voice came from the watch.
"Are you missing Grandpa and Grandma alrea—"
"Grandpa and Grandma! Come take Daddy away quick! He keeps crying! I'm going to be late for school!!"
Ji Ruochu just wailed into the watch.
Coincidentally passing families: ......
The Ji elders on the call: ......
