At the construction site, Zhou Ye was hauling bags of cement when a little hand suddenly tugged at his trouser leg.
He looked down. A little girl in a lace princess dress gazed up at him and called out in a sweet, clear voice, “Daddy!”
He thought the kid had mistaken him for someone else, but a DNA report soon proved they were father and daughter.
Reluctantly taking on the role of dad, Zhou Ye heard his three-year-old daughter Tangtang insist that “Mommy works in a castle.”
Zhou Ye scoffed at the idea, until the day he took Tangtang to her early-learning class.
The gentle female teacher was suddenly replaced the next day by a burly man in a black suit with an expressionless face.
Tangtang leaned close and whispered in Zhou Ye’s ear, “Daddy, the new teacher smells like Mommy’s castle.”
Just then, a chime rang in his mind: “All-Around Super Dad System activated. Beginner mission issued…”
“Prepare a nutritious breakfast for your daughter. Reward: Elite Hand-to-Hand Combat Skills (muscle-memory edition).”
