A Parenting Variety Show? Stay Away! I'm Socially Anxious

Gu Jiajia is a little shy around people, but her father is a company CEO and her mother is a little-known actress.

One day at kindergarten, she hears a proud-looking older girl say she’s going to appear on a variety show and that all the kids should watch her on TV.

She may be a little shy, but she doesn’t want her parents to get divorced, and she doesn’t want a stepmother either.

So she begs her mom to take her on Director Zhang’s variety show, Little Cuties Arrive, a family program where adorable kids keep their moms company.

“Mommy, that auntie is mean. She... she...” The little girl is so flustered she can’t get the words out.

Hearing this, Min Qingqing immediately covers her daughter’s eyes and, keeping out of the camera’s view, whispers, “Good girl, don’t look at her. Look at Mommy. Tell me when there’s no one around.”

“Jiaojiao, let’s do it together. Mommy says girls should help other girls!” Gu Jiajia says, grabbing Jiaojiao by the arm with absolute confidence.

Jiaojiao looks at the child who never even speaks to her at kindergarten, lifts her chin, and gives an arrogant snort. Liar!

“Mommy, Mommy, I want to fly one too!” At Tiananmen Square, Gu Jiajia watches a plane with a tail soaring across the sky, her envious gaze practically spilling over.

“Bro, we’ve run into kidnappers!” Gu Jiajia whispers as she clings to her little friend.

“Yeah, I know. I, I...” Her friend is so scared his face turns pale, but he still tries to look calm, his eyes darting around as he silently cries out, “Some grown-up, please come help us!”
