[ContrastTeamInADadW/BabyShow] Chapter 50.1 — By Plane

That afternoon, the father and daughter each packed up a bag of their belongings. Then Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to the airport in a company car.

At this time, there were about twenty people standing outside the airport. Most of these people were those who became fans of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo after the show was broadcast. There were also some show viewers who lived nearby and so came over to see them off.

Seeing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo get out of the car, someone exclaimed, “Look! It’s really Lin Cheng and Momo!” 

“Oh, I’m so glad we waited for them!”

“Lin Cheng!”

“Momo! Momo!”

Everyone shouted the names of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.

This was the first time Lin Momo encountered such a situation, and she instinctively shrank behind Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng put a reassuring hand on his daughter’s head, raised his eyebrows at Chen Yu, and asked, “Did you arrange this?”

“It wasn’t me,” Chen Yu denied, paused, and then said, “These should all be Brother Cheng’s and Momo’s real fans.”

As for fan support…

Chen Yu really did not arrange it—but after the show was broadcast, there was a special topic on the Internet about the father-daughter team Lin Cheng and Lin Momo. As his manager, Chen Yu only posted what Lin Cheng would be doing before the recording of the show without much hope for anything happening, but quite unexpectedly the fans actually came!

This was the first time Chen Yu had ever seen his own artist have fans support him since he joined the company and became Lin Cheng’s manager. Although there were only a few people here, and the unorganized support seemed a bit awkward, Chen Yu was nevertheless deeply moved.

Hearing Chen Yu’s explanation, Lin Chen nodded without changing expression, then nodded and said ‘hello’ to the twenty or so people cheering for them.

Lin Momo also felt happy when she heard that these people were their fans. She moved out from behind Lin Cheng, waved to those people and said, “Hello, everyone.” 

“Ahh! Little Momo is so good!” someone said.

Hearing this, Lin Momo smiled shyly and whispered to the person who praised her, “Thank you.”

“Aiyaa, you are so good!”

“Daddy and baby, please do your best this week!” 

“Yeah!”

Hearing the other party cheering for her, Lin Momo bowed to the fans, said ‘thank you’ again, and then hurried after Lin Cheng to the airport entrance.

Along the way, Lin Momo had a big smile on her face, jumping up and down, looking very happy.

“Very happy?” Lin Chen looked down at Lin Momo and asked.

“Yeah,” Lin Momo nodded vigorously, and murmured to herself, “If someone likes us that well, then, of course we’ll be very happy.”

In the past, Lin Cheng didn’t care at all about this, but looking at the excitement on Lin Momo’s face , Lin Cheng’s eyes were also filled with happiness.

… …

The father and daughter entered the airport.

At this time, there were no fans present, and there were more people walking around.

Seeing the huge airport and the people coming and going, Lin Momo had a confused and nervous look on her face. She instinctively moved closer to Lin Cheng.

Sensing his daughter’s nervousness, Lin Cheng freed up a hand to hold Lin Momo’s.

“This is the departure hall of the airport. People who are preparing to take a plane, those who need to check in or buy tickets, will pass by here, so there are many people,” Lin Cheng explained to Lin Momo in a low voice.

“You can check in using those counters over there. After getting your boarding pass, go in through that place with ‘Security’ written on top.

“See that? There is an information desk over there. If you run into trouble, you can find one like that. Or find someone in uniform at the airport and ask them for help.”

Lin Cheng patiently introduced the layout of the entire airport and the general boarding process to Lin Momo.

Lin Cheng’s words made Lin Momo’s original tension and embarrassment dissipate a lot. She curiously looked at the areas that Lin Chen pointed to one by one, and silently recited in her heart: ‘That’s where you can get the boarding pass. That’s the security check over there, and the rest area over there…’

“Dad, should we go over there to queue up for boarding passes first? Or do we need to buy air tickets first?” Lin Momo asked, tugging at Lin Cheng’s hand.

“No need, we’ll go over there.” Lin Cheng led Lin Momo into the special passage for VIP guests.

The tickets for their flight were arranged by the program team. This time, the program team arranged first-class air tickets for them.

The two arrived at the security check counter and went through the check-in process step by step.

“Hello, please show me your ID.”

“I don’t have an ID card, but can I show you my household registration book?” Lin Momo asked as she stood on tiptoes and put the household registration book on the tall counter.

Hearing Lin Momo’s words, the staff couldn’t help but smile. She nodded and said, “Okay.” 

After the check-in procedure was completed, the staff combined their boarding passes with Lin Cheng’s ID card and their family’s household registration book. They were all returned to Lin Momo, and another staff member took the two of them to the security inspection area.

Because of her nervousness, Lin Momo stood up straight at the security checkpoint. When the security inspector asked her to raise her hands, Lin Momo immediately raised her arms straight up.

The security inspector found her a little funny and said, “Don’t be so nervous. Okay, that’s it.”

“Do I have any problem?” Lin Momo asked.

The staff member smiled again. “No, you’re good.” 

Hearing this, Lin Momo breathed a sigh of relief, got off the security check platform, and said to the security officer, “Thank you, older sister.”

It wasn’t until Lin Cheng and Lin Momo left that the security check personnel started talking.

“That’s Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.”

“Yeah, did you watch last night’s show?”

“I did!”

“I watched it too.”

“Lin Momo was really polite, so cute. And it looks like it’s her first time to fly.”

“Didn’t they say that Lin Cheng has been having a hard time these days? Seeing his daughter like this, maybe they really are having a bad life.” 

“I think so, too,” the security inspector on the side nodded.

T/N: Lin Momo is 9 years old, small enough to look like she’s 7, and she calls every woman she meets ‘older sister’—and everyone loves her for it. Unless of course they’re obviously middle-aged, then it’s ‘auntie’. Lin Momo is very sweet; that or she’s street-savvy 😂
