Amidst everyone’s discussion, the theme song finished playing, and the third episode officially began.

Five teams of celebrity families started their new weekly life experience.

Bai Yulin was a College Vocal Teacher, actor Gao Yuankai became a Hardware Store Owner, rich father Zheng Chengye became a Corporate Executive, and popular newcomer Duan Bei was assigned to be a Call Center Customer Service Representative.

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s segment was still on the fourth slot.

After the episode finished showing the parts about Bai Yulin in university, Gao Yuankai’s store, and Zheng Chengye’s high-end company, the screen turned to the alley where Lin Cheng and Lin Momo lived.

At this time, the dad and daughter were standing in front of a wall where a bunch of small advertisements were posted, looking for someone who could repair roof leaks.

… …

[Hahahaha, once the show got to the part featuring Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, even the aesthetic style changed.]

[What kind of opening scene is this? ]

[I just looked away for a bit and when I looked again… I thought I had changed channels.]

[The style is indeed strange, but this kind of daily quest is still very good to watch, haha. ]

The audience watched Lin Cheng and Lin Momo clean the bathroom and tidy up the house, and watched the two find a repairman to fix the leak in the house…

Just as everyone was watching with gusto, the scene cut to the second day: Lin Cheng was taking Lin Momo to the market to purchase flour and other necessary ingredients.

Originally, the audience thought that a celebrity like Lin Cheng would not be able to negotiate prices, and they were all waiting to see Lin Cheng overturn. However, when Lin Cheng went to the shops, he did a series of complicated yet successful purchasing methods.

Many viewers were dumbfounded.

[Damn it, Lin Cheng’s purchasing method is so good!]

[I learned from it, I really did.]

[I came here from the livestream channel. I watched the entire livestream of this. Lin Cheng’s method of purchasing ingredients is really amazing. ]

[Ah, what a pity, I didn’t see the livestream at that time.]

The full video of a livestream would be taken offline as soon as the episode that featured it began airing, leaving only some highlights still up. If you look for it in the livestream channel now, you would no longer be able to find the complete video of this day.

[I decided to follow the livestream!]

[I also want to watch it, but I saw it posted online that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo had drawn ‘Happy Bowl Farm Operators’ for next week, and I’m a little hesitant to watch it.]

During the recording of the third week of the program, actor Gao Yuankai really messed up when he was assigned to work in the company. Even his fans couldn’t bear to watch the livestream at the time.

[Won’t Lin Cheng also overturn next week? ]

[I’m also worried…I don’t think I dare watch it.]

At this time, someone came up with a different idea:

[Looking at how Lin Cheng negotiated the purchase of ingredients, he seems to have some business acumen, so he probably wouldn’t mess up too much.]

[It’s hard to say, but running this kind of farm is different from simply farming or opening a small store. It’s no less difficult than running a theme park. ]

[I feel like it’s going to overturn…]

While everyone was discussing, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s part was quickly finished. With the broadcast of this episode, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s popularity on the Internet has increased a lot, and even many wild fans have appeared.

Some fans created a topic online about Lin Cheng and Lin Momo. And so, much later than the other four teams of families in the [Living with Dad] program, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo finally had their own related topic community.

Lin Cheng logged into the account he had not used seriously for several years and lurked in the topic community.

The number of fans in the community was not particularly large as yet, but because it had just been established, the fans in the community were all excited and very active. Many people have shared photos of Lin Momo and Lin Cheng, most of which were screenshots from the livestreams.

The first one was a screenshot of Lin Momo selling scraps with text over it: Another day of working hard to earn money to support my dad.

The second picture was a photo of Lin Momo squatting in a corner, counting money with a ‘sad’ look on her face, with the text: I have paid so much for this family…

The third picture was still of Lin Momo taken from that time when she was thought of as a beggar by the crew of [Where Are You?], the same scene that was screenshot by the crew and used as her ID photo in the crew pass. The caption was: Another day of ‘begging for food’.

Lin Cheng: “…” What the hell was this?

Looking at this ‘ugly’ photo of his daughter, Lin Cheng frowned and continued to scroll down.

In addition to funny pictures, there were also many cute photos of Lin Momo. Lin Cheng liked all these beautiful photos one by one.

Lin Cheng’s actions did not gain the attention of the other fans in the topic community, but it attracted the attention of Wang Xi and others.

……

Back in the entertainment company, Wang Xi and others were browsing Weibo on their mobile phones, thinking how to maintain and operate Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s topic community, when they discovered this somewhat familiar account that was liking Lin Momo’s pictures like crazy. It really gave off a feeling of deja vu.

“Brother Yu! Look at this account! Could it be… Is it Brother Cheng’s?” Wang Xi asked Chen Yu, pointing to the avatar of this enthusiastic fan.

“Yes…” Chen Yu nodded.

When Lin Cheng had a lot of scandals at the time, his account was blocked for several months, and even the status as a verified account was canceled. After so much dirt had been slung, most of his original fans had already unfollowed—but his profile picture and account name remained the same, and so Chen Yu could still recognize that this was Lin Cheng’s account.

“Ah! So it’s true. Why don’t you stop Brother Cheng? He has already liked more than fifty Weibo posts and forwarded more than a dozen Weibo pictures!” Wang Xi said, looking nervous.

Zhou Qi on the side was relatively calm.

“It shouldn’t be a big deal even if he forwards and likes these.”

“But it’s too much! If fans find out, the character setting would be destroyed!” Wang Xi said.

Before he joined this show, Lin Cheng had a cold personality. After joining the show, although his cold personality had indeed fallen apart a bit, Lin Cheng still gave the audience the impression of a mature and steady father. If he continued liking posts about Lin Momo, this last vestige of cold personality would probably be gone too.

Hearing this, Zhou Qi muttered again, “No one would even realize it’s Brother Cheng.”

Wang Xi: “…” This seemed to make sense, but she was still left speechless.

Chen Yu: “…”  Although this was true, Lin Cheng shouldn’t just do whatever he wanted just because his career was muddled.
