Chapter 60
“Ahem, well, without further ado, let's move on to the finals, my darlings please listen to the question!”
As soon as she said this, the little ones immediately sat down on their little stools.
“The first question, my darlings, when is daddy's birthday?”
After she finished speaking, Xu Chuan glanced at the number of fish the fathers had caught so far, and started with the last place:
“Please Ruochu darling answer first.”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Ruochu. They were a little worried—after all, the little one was only four years old. They probably couldn't even remember their own birthday, let alone their dad's birthday, right?
“July 20th.”
Almost immediately, Ji Ruochu blurted out.
“Congratulations Ruochu, correct answer! One point!”
The bullet screen was instantly excited.
[Who said our Ruochu isn't close with her dad King Ji? Look at this kid, she remembers so clearly!]
[That's right, Ruochu just dislikes her dad a bit, but she still loves her dad very much!]
...
Fortunately, Ji Ruochu didn't know about the excitement in the live stream room, otherwise she would have said the fans were thinking too much!
She had known Mochen Ji's birthday since she was still Tan Ruo. The reason...
It all started when a certain someone, after catching a beauty, would show off every year on his birthday with a photo with his girlfriend and a candlelight dinner.
Saying things like "grateful to have you", "lucky to have met you", "being each other's only one" and so on. That was fine, but the guy also bought hot searches, afraid she wouldn't know he didn't have time to chase stars that day if his fan/girlfriend didn't come.
Of course, this kind of time didn't last long, because the next year, after he pried away another luxury endorsement from her, she finally couldn't stand it. She directly held a fan meeting on Mochen Ji's birthday that year.
Needless to say, that day the King Ji—was as quiet as a chicken.
While Tan Ruo hugged Mochen Ji's girlfriend/her own fan girl, took a sweet photo together, and posted it on social media.
Caption: Grateful to have you, meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in my life, I and my fan girl are the best in the world~
The result goes without saying. The King Ji who spent his birthday alone never dared to brag again, and even gave back the endorsement he had snatched from her.
Thinking of his embarrassed look back then, Ji Ruochu was even more happy.
"Okay, congratulations to the babies for getting it right. Next, please listen to the second question:
Please tell me, what day is daddy and mommy's wedding anniversary?"
After she finished speaking, she seemed to worry that the cute babies didn't know what a wedding anniversary was, so she explained again:
"That is, the date when your daddy and mommy got married."
But she didn't expect that the little ones not only knew, but also had some resentment. They immediately clamored:
"I know! Every year on that day, my dad and mom send me to grandma's house, then go out and play by themselves!"
Fan Jin was the first to answer, his little face puffed up.
Bullet screen: Confirmed, the child was an accident, the parents are true love.
Not only him, but the rest of the little ones nodded too, obviously recalling this not so happy memory, except...
"Ruochu sister, isn't your dad and mom different?"
Seeing that Ji Ruochu didn't speak, Lin Xindi curiously asked.
"...No." Ji Ruochu blinked.
"Really?" The other buddies crowded around curiously, "Then how do your dad and mom spend that day? Do they take you to play together?"
"No, I spent that day with mom that day."
Everyone: ???
Bullet screen: Who spent it with who?
"Really?" The other little ones were even more shocked.
"Uh huh." Ji Ruochu nodded.
But everyone present, including the audience in the live stream, didn't take her words seriously.
They just thought the child was confused about the time, and possibly took Mother's Day as her parents' wedding anniversary.
"Then, Ruochu darling, please answer first." Xu Chuan didn't say much, but asked the little one to answer directly.
At this point, he, like everyone else, thought the same thing.
"October 17th."
"..." Xu Chuan's expression froze for a moment, then after a long time, he murmured, "Congratulations Ruochu, correct answer, one point."
Only then did everyone realize something.
"Wow!" The children were all shocked, "Ruochu sister, did you really spend that whole day with your mom? The whole day?"
"Yeah." Ji Ruochu didn't feel guilty at all.
"Then what about your dad?" Geng Zhenzhen asked the question in her mind.
"He prepared a surprise for me and mom!" As long as he wasn't kicked out of the house.
Everyone present: ???
The bullet screen instantly became lively.
[What's the situation? What's the situation?]
[The couple's wedding anniversary became Mother's Day?]
[Spread the word, King Ji actually has the hobby of watching his wife and daughter spend his wedding anniversary!]
[Very good, I'm going to start spreading it everywhere.]
"Why?"
Not only the children were curious, but so were the staff and the audience in the live stream.
"Because..." Ji Ruochu thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Because mom said that day, an aunt who was very important to her was their witness,
Mom said it was the happiest day of her life, but later, later..."
The little one seemed to have forgotten something, stumbling for a long time before continuing: "Later that aunt became an angel and left.
So every year on this day, mom misses that aunt very much. She and dad no longer celebrate their wedding anniversary."
As soon as she said this, the barrage in the live stream paused for a few seconds, then after a while, a few sporadic barrage floated by.
[Is it her?]
[Woo woo woo... She really makes me cry to death...]
[Who are you talking about? Is my 2G network lagging?]
[Is there a kind person to explain? I'm just an ignorant passerby.]
[Here, here, the class rep is here. Ruochu is talking about Tan Ruo, the late actress Tan Ruo who passed away four years ago. Ruochu's mom used to be her fan girl.]
[That's right, it must be her. I went back and looked at the photos King Ji posted on his wedding day, and Tan Ruo's posts at the time. She was indeed their wedding witness.]
[So the question is, wasn't it said at first that the anniversary wasn't celebrated? Why did it become spending the anniversary with her daughter?]
"Later when I grew up, on this day every year, I would accompany mom and dad to watch that auntie's movies.
Mom said my eyes look a lot like that auntie's, so every year on this day, looking at me is like looking at that auntie.
Dad saw that mom was not sad anymore, so he said that mom should spend this day with me every year, and he would prepare surprises for us."
"Wow..."
The other buddies were full of envy, but after the envy, they immediately entered answer mode, completely unaware that the words Ruochu sister said would cause such a sensation on the Internet.
The live stream was also full of "King Ji is awesome" comments.
[Oh my god, how can there be such a considerate man in the world? Ling Chujin, you must have saved the galaxy in your previous life!]
[Are you just finding out now? Back when the King and the actress fought over her, people were already saying she was a winner in life!]
[The King as husband, idol as witness, gave birth to a daughter, and a pair of eyes just like the idol's. Oh my god, I'm so sour!]
[Speaking of which, I tried to imagine King Ji's perspective, and found that he's so pitiful...]
[Right? Before marriage, his wife only had eyes for his rival, and after marriage, he had to invite his rival to be their witness. After his rival died, they couldn't even celebrate their anniversary.]
[There's more! He finally had a daughter, and dang, she looks so much like his rival.
Oh my god, I feel oppressed just thinking about it.]
[That saying, some people die but he still lives, some people...]
[Mochen Ji: Is no one speaking up for me?]
In a moment, #King Ji the tool man# became a hot search term.
After Ji Ruochu answered this question, she felt the complicated looks from everyone, just as she had imagined.
Who said you can only have a substitute in love?
You can have one in the feelings between idols and fans too, right?
Also, being a shining idol substitute for your own fans, doesn't that sound awesome?
