Chapter 153: Parenting Show 5: Something's Wrong with You

"Okay, thank you Qingshang for helping us get a GG," Wang Lulu said with a smile, turning to the camera. "Friends who watched the first season of 《We Are Family》 might know that this show isn't like other kid shows where we immediately broadcast the warm daily life of the families."

The woman paused, her clear and pleasant voice continuing, "We first draw identity cards and have everyone role-play. But this time!"

She raised her voice, "It won't be like the first season. We're changing the format. This time, the parents will compete, and the babies will draw the cards... Now, please have our parent representatives step forward."

Ming Siwen and Gu Yunfei had no choice. They were about to step forward, but being close to each other, they quickly noticed each other's movements. They seemed to not want to step forward at the same time, yet they decisively stopped in unison.

Ming Siwen: ...

Gu Yunfei: ...

This back-and-forth made them particularly stand out among the guests. Wang Lulu was sharp-eyed, and this little action naturally didn't escape her notice. She immediately smoothed things over, "Come, come, come, Siwen, did you think you had a choice? Hurry up and come over."

Seeing Ming Siwen step forward with a smile to talk to Wang Lulu, Gu Yunfei turned smoothly, lowered her head, and said to her daughter, "Xiao You, be good. Mama is going over. Stay here and don't run around."

"Okay."

Meng Huashi was close by and heard Gu Yunfei's instructions to Gu Jingyou. Seeing the little one who had left her mother looking a bit nervous, she couldn't help but look over frequently, feeling a bit hesitant.

She wanted to go comfort her, but she was afraid of doing something wrong. After all, her mother had told her at home to be obedient on the show and not wander around.

But that little sister looked so pitiful, a bit like how she felt when she was bullied before, only able to be secretly scared...

Tao Aiqin, as "Mengmeng's best friend," saw everything. She looked at her own adults who were discussing who should participate in the competition, and shook her little head, "Qinqin is going to play with Mengmeng!"

With that, without waiting for Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang to react, she darted over to Meng Huashi's side, took her hand, put on her cat hood, and then walked towards Gu Jingyou.

She deliberately put on a serious expression on her cute little face and walked with a swaggering gait, laughing, "Hehehe, smells so good. There's something delicious here. Mengmeng, we have dinner tonight."

Meng Huashi: "Huh?"

The adults around: ...?

【Hahahaha, is that the villain's laugh? As expected of Sister Qin's daughter, she loves acting since she was little】

【She seems to have no idea how cute she is!】

【Hold her down! Kiss her! Kiss her again, the soft little thing~】

【Could it be that CEO Tao and Sister Qin often role-play at home, and she secretly learned it? (blush)】

【Snow-white... milky white snow child! Don't be a barber here】

【Thinking about it makes it terrifying (wiping drool)】

"You..." Gu Jingyou was originally watching two beautiful cats, one black and one white, walk towards her. Her little head hadn't processed it yet when she heard those words. Even though she was young, she could tell that Tao Aiqin's words seemed to imply wanting to eat her. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The cat sniffed, circling Gu Jingyou, "What's your name?"

Meng Huashi tugged at her clothes, thinking she hadn't paid attention before, and quietly reminded her, "Her name is Gu Jingyou, she was introduced earlier."

Tao Aiqin leaned into Mengmeng's ear, speaking in a seemingly quiet but actually loud voice, "Don't remind her. I want her to answer herself. If she answers wrong, I'll tell her she's too dumb, so I'll eat her to fill my White Cat Great Immortal's belly."

"You're the White Cat Great Immortal," Meng Huashi thought, a little confused, "Then I'm the Black Cat Great Immortal?"

"No, you're the Black Cat Great Demon."

"...Why am I a demon?" Mengmeng's tone was low. She was a little unhappy; she wanted to be like Qinqin.

"Because two immortals have no future, the audience doesn't like to watch," the cat shook her head, recalling, "One immortal and one demon, you can tell they'll be good at push-and-pull. Grandma said so. That way, it can last forever. Don't you want to be with me forever?"

"Then I'm a demon." Meng Huashi said seriously.

"My name is Gu Jingyou! I'm not dumb!" The little one heard Tao Aiqin's "whisper," tears welling up in her eyes, "Don't eat me."

"See, she answered. I can't eat her using the reason that she's dumb." The cat frowned.

"How can an immortal eat people?" Meng Huashi didn't understand.

Seeing Gu Jingyou looking at her curiously, no longer as nervous as before, Tao Aiqin felt it was time to make her exit. So she took a step forward, raised her paws, and patted the little girl's head three times, then put her hands together, "I see you have great potential. I want to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

The System mocked her, "Who can you fool?"

Tao Aiqin: "Shut up and watch the show!"

"I..." Gu Jingyou was still hesitating.

"I'm willing! I'm willing!"

He Ruotang, who had been quietly watching, ran over and, under everyone's surprised gaze, kowtowed three times with loud thuds, "Master! Please teach me the 72 transformations!"

The cat was shocked and called out to the System in her head, "...Am I seeing things?"

The System was shocked, "There's really an idiot—?"

"I don't know the 72 transformations." Tao Aiqin took a step back.

"You definitely do. You patted her head three times, hoping she would sneak into your room in the middle of the night to listen to your lecture. You can't hide it from me!" He Ruotang's eyes were bright, looking like he saw through everything. "You must be the White Cat Immortal from Mount Fangcun!"

"Amitabha! Since you've discovered me, I won't pretend anymore," the cat straightened up, "Please listen carefully, what comes out of my mouth, enters your ear..."

The System reminded her, "That was a Buddhist phrase just now. Bodhi is for cultivation."

Tao Aiqin: "You shut up! This is to show that I'm a child who doesn't understand anything."

"Disciple understands, the dharma is not passed to six ears!" He Ruotang cupped his hands, looking quite proper.

【Help! What kind of magical 《Journey to the West》 is this】

【Hahahaha, He Shanyan said before that his son loves Journey to the West the most and dreams of becoming a disciple of the Three Star Cave to become the next Great Sage Equal to Heaven】

【Can only say he got what he wished for (dog head)】

【What a great swindler!】

【Amitabha is not rigorous enough (serious)】

【It's just kids playing house. The adults haven't started competing yet, but the kids are already getting along】

【Qinqin: You are all my master's good babies】

【Little CEO Tao really inherited her CEO mother's talent for bluffing】

The few little ones gathered together lively, making the adults chuckle. Mu Xinxian stayed by Mu Kaitai's side, hesitating, wanting to go over but not daring to. She could only grab her mother's sleeve and secretly look over.

"Cough cough!" Mu Feng was urged by the director through his earpiece and could only step forward to interrupt the adults' watching, reminding them, "Please have our parent representatives take their positions!"

Hearing this, the adults finally started moving...

The participants were: He Shanyan, Gu Yunfei, Ming Siwen, Kong Fangshu, and Qin Qingshang.

"I didn't expect our Qingshang to be sent out," Wang Lulu smiled, "Looks like you're confident of victory~"

She teased. Ever since 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 became popular, who didn't know about Qin Qingshang's move of scattering poison at the start?

"Let me ask first," Ming Siwen raised her hand, catching the hint, "This competition game, it's not Werewolf, is it?"

"Teacher Ming, what do you mean?" The cat looked wronged.

"Hahahaha, no, no, please rest assured everyone," Wang Lulu got to the point, "Now I'll explain what our competition is."

"It's a simple entertainment game—Number Calling. Everyone gives themselves a nickname, then calls out numbers starting from 1. If multiple guests call out the same number simultaneously, they must call out another guest's nickname to be safe. The guest who is a step slower will lose their game rights, and their corresponding baby will be in the front when drawing identity cards later."

"Why do you get to draw cards first if you lose?" Qin Qingshang felt a sense of familiarity with these rules. "Did your show secretly communicate with Director Lu?"

At this moment, Lu Xiaokui, who was chatting and laughing with Director Dai backstage: "..."

What? My variety show is a hit, can't I come and do some behind-the-scenes guidance and share my successful experience?

"Hahaha, Qingshang's idea is really interesting," Wang Lulu moved the process along, "Let's start with you, Qingshang. What nickname will you give yourself?"

"Actually, Qinqin just brought back childhood memories for me. When I was very young, I remembered this line, and I always thought such a nickname would be very cool." Qin Qingshang blinked, clearly reciting, "The special envoy appointed by the Tathagata Buddha, the Jade Emperor, and the Bodhisattva Guanyin to retrieve the scriptures from the West, the Handsome Monkey King of Flower Fruit Mountain and Water Curtain Cave, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong."

Other guests: "..."

Who are you trying to exhaust?! That's too malicious!

Wang Lulu was about to ask the next guest to speak when she heard a familiar voice from her earpiece, "Don't agree! Tell them the nickname cannot exceed nine characters. If it exceeds nine, keep seven! This is a new rule!"

It was Lu Xiaokui. It seemed Qin Qingshang's intuition was correct.

"I'm very sorry, Qingshang," Wang Lulu pointed to her earpiece, smiling, "Just now the director team sent a message. Nicknames cannot exceed nine characters, otherwise, only the first seven characters will be used."

"Then I'll be called 'A Little Cat Looking for Water'." Qin Qingshang changed her name somewhat dejectedly.

He Shanyan: "Then I'll be called 'Two Little Cats Have No Water'."

Ming Siwen: "I'm 'Three Little Cats Pouting'!"

Gu Yunfei: "I'm 'Four Little Cats Laughing Happily'~"

Kong Fangshu: "I'm... 'Five Little Cats Fighting a Tiger'. Yes, that's it."

Mu Feng: "...Alright, our game is about to begin. Sister Qin, start calling out numbers!"

【Dying of laughter, what kind of Cat Idol Group is this】

【Help, hahahaha, did you see Qinqin's expression next to them? The real White Cat Great Immortal looks disgusted】

【Five Little Cats Fighting a Tiger? Fifty wouldn't dare fight a tiger!】

【Maybe it's a gecko】

【Goddamn gecko】

"4..."

"4! Four Little Cats Laughing Happily!"

Two voices sounded simultaneously, but unlike Gu Yunfei's stunned look, Ming Siwen immediately called out her nickname.

"Gu Yunfei is eliminated!" Mu Feng immediately stepped forward to follow the procedure, sighing, "I didn't expect a victim... no, I mean, I didn't expect overlapping guests to appear so quickly. I thought it would take at least one round."

Wang Lulu smiled without speaking...

This game actually has a trick. Just stare at the person you want to eliminate, remember their nickname, and call out the number with them.

Clearly, Ming Siwen reacted so quickly, with almost no pause, it seemed she deliberately eliminated Gu Yunfei.

"I lost," Gu Yunfei still maintained her graceful appearance, saying to Ming Siwen, "Xiao Ming's memory is too good, well done!"

"Actually, having too good a memory isn't always good, but..." Ming Siwen smiled sweetly, "It's good as long as Sister Gu isn't angry."

Qin Qingshang also noticed the unusual atmosphere between them. She didn't show it on her face, but she was thoughtful inside.

In the next round, the woman stared at Ming Siwen, deliberately snatching the same number as her, making her the second victim to be eliminated.

Ming Siwen: "..."

How could this be!

Seeing Ming Siwen standing with Gu Yunfei, her smile still present, but Qin Qingshang, who knew her well, could tell at a glance that she was faking it. The cat confirmed her inner judgment:

Something is indeed off between Teacher Ming and Gu Yunfei, there's something fishy going on!
