Seeing Lin Cheng drink the ‘special’ drink given to him by Lin Momo without changing his expression, a large number of people who were watching the excitement jumped out of the barrage area in the livestream channel: 

[Drink, drink! He really drank it! ]

[To be honest, when I saw Momo putting all the free drinks together, I was waiting for this scene to happen.]

[Hahaha, me too, I wonder what that ‘Grand Slam’ drink tastes like? ]

[I don’t know, but it must be very devilish. ]

[Why does Daddy Lin’s expression look so awkward?]

Some people raised questions: Originally, everyone thought that Lin Cheng would spit it out immediately after taking a sip of this devilish drink. Unexpectedly, Lin Cheng not only drank it, but also his face did not show any sign of dislike. No ‘this stuff tastes awful’ look at all.

[No, no, that’s your illusion. I saw the corner of Lin Cheng’s mouth twitching just now. ]

[I saw it too. ]

[And I saw him frown…]

Everyone suddenly turned into micro-expression analysis experts and started discussing the matter.

The final conclusion was that the taste of what Lin Cheng drank was so ‘excellent’ that it made people question their lives.

[Although… but still… I’m a little bit curious about what it’s like.]

[It’s over, it’s over, I’m confused too.]

[I have decided, I want to try it! Don’t stop me! ]

[I want it too!]

So, that afternoon, a strange scene occurred in many milk tea and cold drink shops: some customers came to buy milk tea, and then bought juice and coffee from the stores next door.

Lin Momo had no idea that she had made a devilish drink popular.

Seeing that Lin Cheng didn’t say anything and silently took a sip of the drink she prepared, Lin Momo smiled contentedly and took the initiative to accept that the taste of this drink should be pretty good.

Lin Momo lowered her head and muttered to herself. “I’ll ask for it again if I have a chance this afternoon…” Anyway, it doesn’t cost any money.

Although Lin Cheng didn’t hear clearly what Lin Momo was mumbling, from the expression on her face, Lin Cheng had already guessed most of what she was thinking.

“…” a vein on Lin Cheng’s temples jumped. He has already made up his mind: in the next few days, it was best to just take Lin Momo with him at all times.

“C’mon, let’s eat.”

“Okay!”

They made money in the morning, so at noon, the father and daughter finally escaped the fate of having to eat steamed buns for all three meals.

Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to a nearby small restaurant.

In the restaurant, Lin Momo borrowed some hot water from the clerk, soaked the towel she brought out from her bag, wiped Lin Chen’s hands and some of the blood stains left on his arm, and then poured him some hot water to drink. After all that, she used a small fan to fan Lin Cheng.

Looking at Lin Momo who was busy serving him tea and water, Lin Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly and stopped her.

“What are you doing?” Lin Cheng asked, tapping Lin Momo’s forehead with the back of his finger.

“Well, I’ll be an assistant for Dad,” Lin Momo replied. She paused and then said to Lin Cheng with a serious expression, “Dad, your job is to film, and my job is to be an assistant to a celebrity.”

Hearing Lin Momo’s words, Lin Cheng smiled awkwardly and felt a little ashamed.

“Where did you learn this?”

“I learned it when I was on the set.”

When Lin Momo was waiting for Lin Cheng in the infield, she saw that some of the assistants of other celebrities were like this—helping the celebrities get clothes, carrying umbrellas, serving food, pouring water, and holding fans.

Lin Momo consciously settled herself into the position of ‘little assistant’, and gave Lin Cheng a ‘I’m very professional’ look.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng raised his hand, rubbed Lin Momo’s head again, and said in the tone of a father, “Just eat well.” 

“Oh…” sensing Lin Cheng’s ‘sternness’, Lin Momo finally calmed down.

Less than half a minute since she settled down, Lin Momo thought of something. She put down the bowl and chopsticks again.

“By the way, Dad, there’s also this,” Lin Momo said, taking out the notes from her bag and handing it to Lin Cheng. “This is advice from the assistant director when I was on the set. And there were also a few old actors who were talking to other young actors. I wrote them down while I was there. Dad, take a look.”

In the set earlier, the old actors were talking to the young actors, and Lin Momo also listened. Although she didn’t understand most of it, in her opinion, it’s almost like a teacher giving a lecture to a student in school. Just listening and taking notes on everything would definitely be helpful.

Lin Cheng looked through Lin Momo’s notes. There were two or three pages in total, which included the actors’ positions, how to memorize lines, how to control expressions, where to look when facing the camera… The instructions were scattered here and there, but there was something about everything. The empty portions were probably things that Lin Momo didn’t understand or didn’t have time to write down.

The notes were a bit messy, with some pinyin¹ mixed in. It was a bit difficult to read, but he could still see what Lin Momo wanted to express.

“Dad, are these useful?” Lin Momo asked.

“Very useful,” Lin Yi nodded.

Hearing Lin Cheng’s answer, Lin Momo smiled with satisfaction.

“Hehe, that’s good.”

As she said that, Lin Momo planned to get up and pour water for Lin Cheng, but he stopped her with a look, so she sat back down on her bench obediently.

… …

In the livestream channel, the viewers watching the conversation between Lin Chen and Lin Momo made many joking comments:

[Momo: I have worked too hard for this family.]

[Momo, take your father to fly. ]

[But to be honest, I feel that Xiao Momo is much more serious than the popular actors in the entertainment industry. ]

[I also feel that Momo seems to be serious about everything she does. ]

Different from the other teams’, with every session, the performance of this father and daughter team made people feel that they are working seriously, and they would really starve to death on the streets if they didn’t work hard.

[Haha, it’s true. Watching the livestream of this group, I often forget that this is actually a celebrity parent-child reality show.]

1. Pinyin is the official romanization of a Chinese character, approximating the ‘sound’ of it. Children would start out by using pinyin to ‘spell’ the characters they don’t know yet. As an example, 我爱你 are the Chinese characters, wǒ ài nǐ is the pinyin, the English meaning is ‘I love you’. ↩︎
