The Young Master Is the Beloved Favorite on a Family Variety Show

Jiang Xunchao woke up one day to find that he'd gone from being a pampered young master to an obscure, suicidal celebrity in a novel. Somehow, he had a child now, too, and was informed that he'd be appearing on a variety show for parents and kids.

And so, single "father" Jiang Xunchao was forced to begin his child-rearing journey.

Jiang Xunchao had no idea how to look after a kid, and now he had to embarrass himself online, too.

The young master wanted to turn on his heel and leave with the child.

But he couldn't afford the penalty for breaking his contract.

The young master had been the youngest child in his family, spoiled as he grew up. What was his secret? Never compete for anything.

Well, now he couldn't afford not to compete. If he didn't, he'd have to sleep in a room without air conditioning.

And he had a way with sweet talk.

With a face that looked impossibly cocky, he was sweet as could be. His smooth talk helped him and his little sweet bun eat well and live comfortably.

"Brother Qu, I didn't know you could cook! Your food smells so good. You're seriously amazing."

"Sister Sui, wow, you're so good at this! I really can't do this shuttlecock-kicking task. Could you teach me?"

"Hey, big bro, you're awesome!"

He made sure to spread the praise around. Compliment first, ask questions later, and keep everyone's spirits sky-high.

The kid next to him tugged at his sleeve, looking on the verge of tears.

Jiang Xunchao kissed him on the cheek.

"Of course, our little sweet bun is the best in the whole world."

During a task, Jiang Xunchao lounged with one leg crossed over the other, looking as arrogant as they came, but when he spoke, he said,

"Hey, big bro, let your big brother have this one, please? You're amazing, and I'm terrible at it."

Oh, wait. That was the big brother he'd only just made a couple of days ago. "Big bro, let me have this one."

You've got to admit, it really worked.

"I'll let you have it, big bro." The big brother thumped his chest.

"Great, big bro."

"Brother Qu, that smells amazing."

The guest had already gotten used to making two extra portions for Jiang Xunchao, and now looked at him with a hint of affection.

"If I had a younger brother, I think..."

"Dad, what about mine?!" The kid beside him got anxious. Wasn't he usually the first to get some?

"You're the big brother. You have to look out for your second brother."

The big brother was convinced, then patted the little sweet bun on the head.

"From now on, I'm your uncle."

Jiang Xunchao guiltily glanced at the little sweet bun. Fortunately, the child didn't seem bothered, just asked in confusion,

"Uncle?"

"Little sweet bun, are you hungry?"

The little sweet bun shook his head.

"Good. Then, little sweet bun, I'll leave this task to you. Your big brother will wait right here, always keeping his eyes on you. You can do it, little sweet bun. I believe in you." Then he turned around, sneakily took a bite of breakfast, and muttered to himself,

"Your big brother's starving. I'll just have a bite. I'll keep an eye on you out of the corner of my eye."

After Jiang Xunchao used his sweet talk to become everyone's darling, there was only one person who always kept a cold face. After they teamed up to finish a task, Jiang Xunchao casually complimented him, only to get a reply that it was unnecessary.

"I told you. Everyone else is just being polite, but the movie star doesn't fall for that. He really thinks he's something special."

"I feel like Chaochao's about to break."

Chaochao, who was supposedly "about to break," turned around and excitedly counted the prize money. He even split his share with Brother Qu.

"Brother, I think we can add two more dishes today."

Then one day, Jiang Xunchao excitedly went live to introduce everyone to his public-facing CP. He pulled the movie star over and introduced him to the kid he'd made his big brother.

"This is my big brother."

"And this is my second brother."

The viewers took a closer look. Whoa, wasn't this their aloof movie star?

"Say hello to my big brothers, sweetheart." Jiang Xunchao slung an arm over the movie star's shoulder.

The moment the movie star nodded, the viewers felt like something had shattered.

#Didn't you say it was unnecessary?#

"Can't we just make it public?" The movie star turned off the camera and wrapped an arm around Jiang Xunchao's waist.

"No!" Jiang Xunchao bristled.

Sweetheart, you didn't turn off the mic. Sweetheart, the viewers in the livestream are worried sick.

Should we pretend we didn't hear that?
