Songguo is a little squirrel. After turning human in the wilderness, she is mistaken for an abandoned baby and sent to an orphanage.
One night, she dreams that she is adopted by a celebrity couple.
In the dream, Dad is a top-tier star in the entertainment industry. After going public with his relationship with Mom, his career instantly flops.
Her parents wear their laid-back, couldn't-care-less attitudes like halos. Once they've faded from the spotlight, they peacefully retire from showbiz and live more comfortably than most people on the money they earned before. She is pampered like a rich young lady.
But then...
She develops a terminal illness and burns through the family's savings. To pay for her treatment, her parents return to showbiz and take roles in all kinds of terrible movies, drawing ridicule and abuse from countless people.
Despite all their efforts, she still doesn't live to see her eighteenth birthday.
The little squirrel wakes up in tears: I don't wanna die yet! o(╥﹏╥)o
She completely forgets about being adopted, until one day a couple really does stand in front of her.
In her dream, after she was adopted, a parent-child variety show invited Dad to participate. But her parents worried she wouldn't adapt to the show and feared people would accuse them of exploiting her for views, so they turned it down.
After that, their careers went from bad to worse, and they eventually left the entertainment industry.
Now Mom and Dad ask the little squirrel, "Guoguo, do you want to go?"
The little squirrel nods: "Yes!"
She heard there's lots of money to be made!
With that money, when she gets sick, Mom and Dad won't have to work so hard, right?
Wait, no, no, no! She doesn't want to get sick!
The lady at the orphanage said dreams are the opposite of reality!
※
The guest list for the new season of Dad, Let's Go! is announced. Bai Liqiao, a former top-tier star whose relationship was exposed three years ago, is on the list, and his daughter is already three and a half!
His fans feel stabbed all over again. So not only did their idol date behind their backs, he even got married with a baby on the way!
They only learn later that the child was just adopted from an orphanage.
But that hardly makes things better. His haters say he's using an orphan to make a comeback, and that he's despicable. The fans who were already mostly gone abandon him in droves once again.
After the show airs...
"Wow, how is this little cutie, nicknamed 'Little Pinecone' and calling herself 'Little Fierce Beast,' so adorable when she gets so scared she jumps at the sight of a kitten the size of a palm?"
"You should obviously be called Little Timid Pinecone!"
Little Timid Pinecone climbs trees incredibly fast. Bai Liqiao stands beneath the tree: "Holy crap!"
The audience, watching through their screens: "Holy crap! Bai Liqiao, you useless dad! Hurry up and get the kid down before she falls!"
They have a fruit-picking task. Little Timid Pinecone does better than the adults, and Bai Liqiao questions his whole life: "Holy crap?"
The audience: "Holy crap, you know none of your daughter's skills. Now I believe she really is adopted."
The children are told to buy groceries on their own. Little Timid Pinecone buys nothing but pine nuts and peanuts. Bai Liqiao asks, "How are we supposed to get full on this?"
Little Timid Pinecone: "We'll be full! This is what Little Fierce Beast eats~"
The audience: "Awwww, my daughter is too cute! Can I adopt one just like her?"
