This Omega is Sweet and Wild - Chap 121
Ch121 – Extra 14: Parent-child variety show (2)
The first episode of “Where are the cubs?” was eventually released after a month of aggressive pre-publicity and the keen anticipation of the entire audience!
It was revealed that five families would appear on the show’s debut season, and each family was highly anticipated. The show was well-liked even before it aired. Youyou heard through her coworkers that the exclusive network broadcast rights to this show were sold for a whopping nine figures!
Nine digits? That’s one hundred million…
Youyou computed it with her fingers again and again, and indeed, it sold for hundreds of millions of dollars!
Platforms and TV stations were keeping a careful eye on whether this program was worth the hundreds of millions of dollars it cost. The first episode of the show featured the three-person family – Li Cheng, Xiao Yiheng, and Xiao Lizhi. They were in charge of leading the show. They’d find out whether the ratings were good or bad by viewing the first episode of the premiere.
Youyou stayed at work on the night of the program’s debut, waiting with a dozen senior colleagues in the group with bated breath for the program to air.
When the show’s opening song ended and the protagonist’s face appeared on the big screen in the studio, Youyou couldn’t help but exclaim “Ah” before quickly covering her mouth with a red face.
Fortunately, her coworkers’ reactions were nearly identical to hers, and no one noticed her gaffe.
The reason for this was because the cub who appeared on the large screen was extremely, incredibly, amazingly cute!
The show’s opening scene began with a cozy and lovely children’s bedroom.
The room was large and bright, with walls painted in a brilliant sky blue and a ceiling decorated with stars and rainbows. A red children’s bed in the shape of a car sat in the center of the room. Little Lychee sat up from the fluffy quilt that resembled clouds in a daze. He stretched and yawned loudly before slumping onto the bed in a fog.
The program team adjusted the time attentively, but the fast-moving wall clock on the wall revealed that the child sat on the bed for more than ten minutes.
After a long period of time, the child became alert and displayed a lively look. He lurched out of bed, his small buttocks pointing at the camera, and unintentionally stepped on the duck sleeping on the carpet next to his bed.
“Gah!” The plump duck abruptly awoke from its slumber, flapping its wings and screeching aggrievedly.
When Little Lychee realized he had trodden on the duck’s leg, he promptly came to a halt and bowed deeply to the duck, saying in his milky voice, “I’m sorry, duck, I stepped on your leg!”
The small duck appeared to understand what he was saying. It graciously nodded to “It’s okay, this duck forgives you!” In this manner, one person and one duck shook hands and made peace. Little Lychee spent some time playing with the little duck before walking out of the ch his eyes. When the duck saw this, it jumped out of its nest, followed the young maste
Countless comments flew by on the barrage of the web platform’s live broadcast.
“Wow! What kind of fairy cub is this? He actually apologized to the little duck. He’s also super adorable!”
“I really want to steal such a cute Little Lychee home! His pheromone will undoubtedly have a sweet, fruity scent when he differentiates!”
“Is it just me that saw there’s a camera on the duck’s back? I beg the show’s producers to release a video from the duck’s perspective!”
“Begging the program group to release a video with the duck’s perspective +2”
“I recall Li Cheng’s child being only a little more than three years old. He can actually sleep alone in his room at night? My five-year-old daughter refuses to sleep on her own. She insists on sticking to us husband and wife, so we don’t have any ‘night life’.”
The viewers noticed that Little Lychee had moved through the living area and reached the master bedroom door just as the last barrage flew by. He made two little squishy fists and started knocking on the door.
“Dad, dad! Get up! Grandpa Sun is shining on buttocks!”
The small duck quacked in response to the cub’s knocks on the door, prompting the two masters to get out of bed.
Suddenly, the sound of heavy objects crashing to the ground came from the room.
Immediately afterwards, they heard sounds of a frantic battle, and it took five minutes for the bedroom door to be unlocked.
However, the gap in the opened door was small, and Xiao Yiheng stood in the way, carefully concealing the scene in the bedroom.
Little Lychee gazed up at his tall father and asked a number of ignorant questions.
“Dad, didn’t I sleep with you last night?”
“Dad, why didn’t Dad ChengCheng get up?”
“Dad, I’m hungry.”
“Dad, I need to pee.”
“Dad… ”
“Dad……”
Xiao Yiheng remained silent and serene.
He abruptly knelt down and picked up Little Lychee as he walked towards the washroom.
“Be good, Zhizhi. Dad will take you to the toilet. Your Dad ChengCheng is still sleeping; do not disturb him.”
Little Lychee nodded obediently: “Oh~~ okay.”
For some reason, the audience actually interpreted the “Oh~” uttered by Little Lychee, a child, to be meaningful.
All of the barrage transformed into “oh~~~” in a second, and the entire screen was densely filled with these oh~.
It is unknown what occurred to make them say “oh~”.
Naturally, Xiao Yiheng in the TV show couldn’t guess what the audience was thinking. He walked into the washroom with Little Lychee, carefully assisting him in freshening up, then leading him back to the children’s room and allowing Little Lychee to choose what style of clothes he wanted to wear that day.
Despite his youth, Little Lychee had formed his own aesthetic vision. He dressed himself in a colorful shirt and knee-length shorts, which made him look cheerful and handsome.
He was a three-year-old big boy and it was time for him to learn to dress himself. As a result, the cub declined Dad Xiao’s assistance and dressed himself clumsily with a pair of little hands.
However, the shirt had five buttons, which made it tough. Little Lychee battled with them for a long time before eventually buttoning them up, only to discover that they were misaligned. A buttonhole was vacant, and a button had no place to go.
Wu, what to do?
Seeing the cub’s distressed expression, Xiao Yiheng gently patted his sweating brow and encouraged him: “Zhizhi, you did an excellent job, but one button is far too naughty. He purposefully concealed in order to play hide-and-seek with you, so Zhizhi missed it. Dad will help you in undoing the buttons. This time, be more careful. Dad thinks you’ll be able to fasten all the buttons on your own, right?”
Little Lychee nodded repeatedly, straightened his chest, and asked Xiao Yiheng to assist him in tidying up his clothes before attacking the naughty buttons once more.
“It turns out that Adonis Xiao’s personality changed so drastically after having a child?”
“Whose silly dad is this?”
“Wu, wu, wu, what kind of fairy father is this? Excuse me, Xiao Yiheng. Is there still a scarcity of cubs in your family? The kind that is 3 years and 200 months old!”
“I burst into tears since it’s such an obviously warm scene. My father used to yell at me and tell me I was useless for every little thing I couldn’t do well when I was a child. It still makes me feel inferior to this day. I wish I could have a gentle father like that.”
“I turned my head to gaze at my family’s lousy alpha, who just knows how to lay down and play games after work. I’m itching to kick him!”
The volume of discussion on the first episode of “Where are the cubs?” soared like a rocket as the number of barrages increased on practically all social networks.
Three linked hot search entries had airborne on Weibo fifteen minutes after the show began, and the most popular one had even hit the top ten!
Half an hour after the broadcast began, the TV station’s data showed that the ratings for “Where are the cubs?” had surpassed 1.5! The market share exceeded 8%!
The show was a massive hit. The names of the three members of Li Cheng’s family entered top searches. After that night, everyone in China knew that Li Cheng and Xiao Yiheng had a fair and plump cub called Little Lychee.
