Thank you.] Why are variety shows for kids so insanely competitive these days? The movie emperor's son won a Best Supporting Actor award at eight, the young heiress from a prominent family is a master of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and the wealthy young master Shen Zhao already owns a business empire worth billions at just nine... Because of their reputation as a "single mom and her silly baby," Lin Beibei and her laid-back mom were set up as the contrast pair on this cutthroat kids' show. The entire internet mocked them before the show had even started. But when the show officially went live and the cameras switched on, the audience was hit with a gorgeous little face like a ragdoll cat. Lin Beibei blinked her round kitten eyes and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Camera guy, are you thirsty? Baby brought water!" Before dawn, while the other guests and kids were still sleeping soundly, Lin Beibei kicked off the blankets and pattered to the bed, gently tugging at Dad's covers. "Daddy, Daddy, it's time to get up! Baby already put toothpaste on your toothbrush!" During a sprinting game, Lin Beibei pumped her short little legs and huffed along, then tumbled to the ground. The viewers watched with their hearts in their mouths, afraid the little darling would burst into tears. But Lin Beibei's round eyes turned red, and her little mouth quivered with a pout. Without making a sound, she kept going until she reached the finish line. "Aaaah, was this baby sent by heaven to save humanity?" "I don't want music, chess, calligraphy, or painting! I don't want a fortune! I just want this adorable little cutie who's stolen my heart!" While the comments went wild, the viewers soon noticed something else: The cameraman, who had once been hostile toward Lin Beibei, threw down his million-yuan camera and was the first to rush over. The young heiress didn't care that her princess dress would get dirty. She personally put a bandage on Lin Beibei. The movie emperor's son had red eyes and looked as though he was in more pain than if he had fallen himself. And Shen Zhao, who had once criticized Lin Beibei at every turn, slowly crouched down and coolly offered him a lollipop. "I'll carry you. Don't you dare cry again!" Loyal puppy-like husky seme VS sweet, soft kitty uke (their romance only begins when they're adults) Coming soon: The Last Little Mermaid in the Universe After Waking Up When he was three, an undersea volcano erupted and the deep-sea palace collapsed. Deep Blue, the little mermaid prince, fell into a long slumber while his parents protected him. Five years later, Deep Blue woke up in a nursery pod. His blue eyes shimmered with tears, his great golden tail swished, and his little hands pressed against the glass. In a plaintive voice, he sang, "Hun-gry~! My tum-my is so hun-gry~!" The news that a mermaid baby had come back to life shocked the entire universe! Hundreds of billions of viewers flooded the livestream, just to hear the little mermaid babble in his baby voice, so cute and healing! Deep Blue loved chatting with everyone, until he saw several comments claiming to be from his parents. He blinked in confusion and tilted his head. "Daddy? Mommy?" His brilliant sapphire eyes blinked, and his tears became tiny pearls that pattered down. Daddy was dead, Mommy was dead, and his older siblings were gone. He was all alone, and no one would ever love him again... The comments paused, then a few people went wild: [Baby! Daddy isn't dead! He's an Imperial general now, patrolling outer space!] [Lanlan! Big Sister isn't dead either. She's holding a concert on another planet! Forget the concert, I'm coming back to see you right now!] [Big Brother isn't dead, either. He's working on a huge business deal involving ten planets, but the deal can wait. I'm coming back to see you!] [Don't be scared, sweetheart. Mommy designed your nursery pod, and she's already on her way!] It turned out that, thanks to cloning technology, the merfolk had transferred their minds into new bodies. They were all alive, and had successfully integrated into human society, becoming top experts in their respective fields! Deep Blue happily swished his tail, grinned with his tiny baby teeth, and clapped like a seal. Everyone was alive! Baby was happy! Deep Blue hugged his huge golden tail. His gorgeous blue eyes curved into two happy crescent moons. He was now the mermaid baby loved by the entire interstellar community! But no matter how many people he asked, he never mentioned Lu Xingye, the little prince who had once tugged his tail and bossily demanded that he marry him. Outside the nursery pod, a rebellious boy with black hair and eyes wore a resentful expression. Deep Blue had even asked after the auntie who used to make especially delicious little cakes, but still hadn't remembered him. The boy's gaze grew darker by the moment. He held out a bag of lollipops and coaxed him like a devil: "Call me Big Brother. I'll give you a lollipop for every time you say it." Theme: Simply being alive is not enough. You also need sunshine, freedom, and a little fragrance of flowers.
