Choose a Dad on a Dating Show, Not Your Own

Synopsis Lin Zhi is four years old this year. In his previous life, his dad was fined a huge amount of money for refusing to appear on TV. He had no choice but to take Lin Zhi back to their hometown. Then a landslide hit, and his dad held him as they both fell asleep forever. When Lin Zhi opened his eyes again, he was back in the big house. His dad was refusing to appear on a TV show called a dating reality show and saying he would take Lin Zhi back to their hometown. Lin Zhi was frantic. They couldn't go back to their hometown! Seizing the opportunity, he asked his dad's agent, Auntie, "What's a dating reality show?" She replied, "It's a matchmaking show." Lin Zhi knew what matchmaking was. He could go on a matchmaking show for his dad! Then they definitely wouldn't have to go back to their hometown. - When Lu Wang was in college, he got catfished online. He'd sweet-talked the little scammer into moving in with him, only for the guy to suddenly disappear one day. Lu Wang searched for him for five years. When he finally found him, the guy had a three-year-old son! Seeing that the man had signed a contract for the dating show, Lu Wang gritted his teeth and decided he would make him pay. But the guy would rather pay the penalty than appear on a show with him. Lu Wang was so angry he nearly died. That night, he called the man's new number, but the person who answered wasn't the one he wanted to talk to. "Hello, who are you?" a childish voice asked. Lu Wang knew who it was without even thinking. Irritated, he said, "I'm a creditor." There was a long silence on the other end. Just as Lu Wang was losing patience, the child spoke. "Hello, Mr. Creditor. Can I go on the matchmaking show for my dad?" Lu Wang was about to say no, but then he thought better of it. If he missed this chance, would he really have to go to the guy's house and kidnap him? He shut his eyes and agreed. "Fine." - By the time Lin Wu found out what Lin Zhi had agreed to, it was too late. The production crew was blocking the doorway, so all he could do was turn pale and remind Lin Zhi, "Baby, remember, no matter who asks, tell them you're only three years old." Lin Zhi gave him an OK sign and kissed him. "Don't worry, Dad. I'll find us a daddy to take care of us." Then they wouldn't have to go back to their hometown! Lin Wu was despairing. Your biological dad is right in there! Years ago, to scrape together money for an expensive surgery, he accepted a high-paying job catfishing someone online. In the end, he broke someone's heart and lost his own. The day he found out he had a child, his client happened to return to the country and told Lu Wang everything. In a panic, Lin Wu ran away. Even now, he didn't dare imagine how Lu Wang would take revenge on him. - Twelve Days of Heartbeats was a dating reality show for gay men, yet it was the most outrageous show of the year. It was already full of powerful big shots, and now one of the contestants was only three and a half years old. Had the world gone mad? A three-and-a-half-year-old on a dating show? During the show, the production crew started a livestream interview and asked Lin Zhi if he knew what a dating show was. Lin Zhi answered firmly, "Of course! It's matchmaking. I'm here to find myself a dad." Viewers: "...Well, that's not wrong. Matchmaking with a relative is still matchmaking." "I've seen everything now. That's the first time I've seen someone find a match for their dad!" "I just wonder what kind of celestial beauty your dad is. This dating show is different from the others, though. It's full of big shots. Is he really a match for them?" Then, on the second night of filming, Lin Zhi had a toothache and cried instead of going to sleep, demanding his dad. In his panic, Lin Wu appeared on camera without any warning. Bare-faced, with peach-blossom eyes, fair skin, and a slender waist, he looked like a peach blossom wrapped in mist, both innocent and alluring. Viewers: "!!! Zhizhi, baby, you didn't tell us your dad really was a celestial beauty!" "That face, those hands, that waist! Zhizhi, have you found a dad yet? I want to sign up!" "Ahhhhh, I'm panting! That's my wife, who I lost years ago! Zhizhi, baby, can I be your dad?" Of course not! Lin Zhi had his own standards for finding a dad. First, he had to be gentle, so the creditor was out. Next, he had to know how to cook, so the creditor was out. Finally, he had to be rich, so the creditor was out. Lu Wang had been on three dates with Lin Zhi. Watching Lin Zhi cross him off yet again right in front of him, he finally couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Why are you crossing me off for the last one, too?" Wasn't he rich enough? Lin Zhi shook his head with an air of great wisdom. "A creditor can't be a dad, just like a fish can't fall in love with a cat." Lu Wang: "..." What did that even mean? "What would a little brat who's only three and a half know?" Lin Zhi replied without missing a beat, "I'm four years and two months old, not three and a half." Lin Zhi didn't notice that Lu Wang had frozen in place after hearing those words. His dad, watching behind the screen, had frozen, too. That night, as viewers watched the livestream, Lu Wang, the show's investor and a man ranked among the country's ten wealthiest, who looked sharp enough to see through anything, called his family doctor and asked: "Can men have children?"

Please add my next novel to your reading list: After Shrinking, I Hid at My Archenemy's House Synopsis Why did someone like Yan Ling exist, always copying everything other people did? That was the only impression Jian Yu had of him. It all started when Yan Ling transferred into their class. From that day on, whenever Jian Yu wore a certain color, Yan Ling would wear the same color scheme. Whatever game Jian Yu played, Yan Ling played it too. When Jian Yu skipped class to play basketball, Yan Ling skipped class to play basketball as well. Even when Jian Yu took part in the New Year's celebration and played Snow White, Yan Ling had to play the prince! Didn't he know that cloned sheep only lived for six years? Even more infuriating, Yan Ling had a deadpan expression for everyone else, but smiled whenever he saw Jian Yu. He might as well have written "I'm provoking you" right across his face. Jian Yu was furious. So he loved copying him, did he? From that day on, Jian Yu slept through class and played games after school, pushing his game rank sky-high. Then, late at night when everyone else was asleep, he spent a fortune on a renowned tutor, studying through the night and squeezing in practice problems whenever he could. He made sure his grades stayed in the top ten of his grade. He wanted to see how Yan Ling would copy him this time! But Yan Ling seemed to have a cheat code. His game rank was just below Jian Yu's, and his grades hadn't slipped either. At the final exams that term, their scores were exactly the same, tying them for sixth place in their grade. Unable to stand it, Jian Yu tried to sneak a look at Yan Ling's answer sheet. But Yan Ling suddenly came back, and before Jian Yu could think of an excuse to get away, he shrank... In his panic, he made a mistake and climbed into Yan Ling's backpack, and Yan Ling carried him home. Jian Yu had no idea why he'd shrunk. He couldn't get out, so he could only carefully try to survive in his archenemy's house, sneaking a bite of Yan Ling's bread in the morning and a sip of water from his cup at night. He went unnoticed for three whole days. Then, on the fourth night, he saw with his own eyes as his archenemy played a game, hid his character in a patch of grass, and picked up a Five-Three practice book! How was that even possible? He stared in disbelief as Yan Ling worked through practice problems, only occasionally moving his character into the safe zone. He crept along carefully, hiding whenever he saw anyone, making no sound and never poking his head out. He practically crawled his way into the zone. Jian Yu wasn't friends with Yan Ling in the game, so he couldn't see Yan Ling's average number of kills per match. Now he realized this guy was a real camper in games! What a coward. If he was going to be this scared, why play a shooter? He should play a match-three game instead! Thinking that he'd actually considered someone like this his rival, Jian Yu was so furious that he huffed and puffed his way onto the bed that night. He threw a flurry of punches and kicks at Yan Ling from a distance, until he was completely worn out. Then he drowsily rolled into the blankets and closed his eyes. The next day, Yan Ling woke him up. Jian Yu had no idea why Yan Ling was calling his name so early. Was he going to beat him up in his dreams? Furious, Jian Yu threw back the blanket, and instantly found himself staring right into Yan Ling's eyes. His were tiny eyes. Even if he opened them as wide as bells, they were still tiny compared to Yan Ling's giant eyes. Was he done for? Would Yan Ling think he was a monster or some filthy thing? At his current size, even falling off the bed could kill him. If Yan Ling killed him and disposed of his body, no one would ever find out. Yan Ling coolly raised a hand. Jian Yu stiffened, waiting to die, only to find the other boy gently taking his hand. ? Wait... Could it be... His archenemy had damaged his brain with last night's punches and kicks from afar! Wait a second... Something didn't seem right... He looked down, and his eyes instantly widened like bells for real! ★ Theme: Clear up misunderstandings and move toward a brighter future
