Regarding whether to participate in Season 3 of “Fancy Baby,” Xu Zhinan and Lin Qingye made their decision quickly this time.

Since Lin Huairan himself wanted to go, they had no reason to refuse the production team’s invitation. Besides, it would be good for him to make more friends through this opportunity.

“Little Huai, remember to be polite when you’re there, okay?” Xu Zhinan reminded him.

Lin Huairan tilted his little head up, blinking his eyes, “Grandma and Grandpa always say Huai-bao has good manners!”

“…”

The little one indeed had good manners—sweet-talking, saying thank you and sorry frequently, and more importantly, often complimenting others, easily making people happy enough to give him whatever he wanted.

But having manners was one thing…

What was more important was being reserved.

Xu Zhinan never imagined that one day she would need to teach her son to be more reserved.

Lin Qingye sat on the sofa nearby and chuckled, “What Mom means is that you shouldn’t always try to charm little girls.”

Xu Zhinan: “…”

Little Huai-bao didn’t understand and tilted his head, “What’s lao-bo?”

“Liao-bo,” Lin Qingye repeated.

Xu Zhinan couldn’t take it anymore and glared at Lin Qingye before hugging Huai-bao, “Don’t listen to Dad’s nonsense. What I mean is that when you go on the show, our little Huai-bao should be a little gentleman and know how to be polite and appropriate when playing with other children.”

Lin Huairan obediently nodded, though he didn’t fully understand.

“You need to ask permission before taking other children’s things.”

“I know.”

“And when playing with other kids, don’t make them feel unhappy or uncomfortable, okay?”

Little Huairan nodded again.

Xu Zhinan gave him quite a few instructions, laying the groundwork before finally revealing her true purpose: “Also, you’re a little boy, and boys and girls are different. If you want to hold a girl’s hand, you should also get her permission first.”

“Oh.” He didn’t seem to be fully listening.

“And kissing is not allowed, okay?”

Lin Huairan: “Why?”

“Because you’re all still too young, and kissing is something only very close people can do. When our little Huairan has a girlfriend in the future, you can kiss her if she agrees.”

In terms of being casual, Lin Huairan’s personality was quite similar to Lin Qingye’s. So after he turned four, to cultivate his gender awareness, Lin Qingye had, with good intentions, started prohibiting Lin Huairan from kissing Xu Zhinan.

“But Dad doesn’t let Huai-bao kiss Mom, yet Dad himself keeps secretly kissing Mom.”

Lin Qingye laughed, “Dad kisses openly and properly.”

Little Huairan was unhappy, “That’s not fair!”

“Because Mom and Dad are husband and wife. She’s my wife, not your wife. If you want to kiss someone, go kiss your wife.”

Lin Huairan didn’t fully understand the definition of “wife” yet: “Who is Huai-bao’s wife?”

Lin Qingye coldly replied, “You don’t have one.”

“Huai-bao wants a wife too!”

Lin Qingye implemented a free-range policy: “Then go find one yourself.”

Xu Zhinan: “…”

She had just finished teaching her child not to kiss other girls, and this man directly destroyed her teaching results and even encouraged early dating.

From the first season of “Fancy Baby,” there had been a huge call for Lin Qingye’s family to participate. Even by the third season, people thought Lin Qingye’s chances of participating were slim, but suddenly they saw Lin Qingye’s family name and photos in the official announcement of participating celebrities.

Lin Huairan’s photos had never been released to the public before; after all, he might become the little heir to Minsheng Group in the future, and Lin Guancheng was very concerned about his grandson’s safety and privacy.

Until now, all the outside world knew about Lin Huairan was the Fist photo Lin Qingye posted when he was born, showing only a small fist.

Before the show recording, the family of three took a set of photos to be used for the official announcement.

The clothes for the photoshoot were chosen by Lin Huairan himself at the studio. He and Lin Qingye wore matching black short-sleeved shirts and pants, while he chose a white dress for Xu Zhinan.

In the photo, Xu Zhinan stood in the middle, with Lin Huairan and Lin Qingye standing on either side behind her.

Ahhhhhhhhh what have I discovered!!!!!

Finally, it’s here!!!!!

Ahhhhhh little Huairan is so cute!!! Sister is willing to wait for you!!!

Wow, I used to wonder who could match Lin Qingye and Xu Zhinan’s looks, and then I saw Lin Huairan!!

Other kids are adorable, but why can Lin Huairan already be called handsome at four and a half? These genes are too powerful!!

Wuwuwu this is too wonderful!!

When does it air? When does it air!!!

This is too unfair! Such a good-looking kid, and they’ve been hiding him for so many years before letting us see him!!!

Has no one noticed the detail in this photo? Our Nannan is standing in the middle!! Wuwuwu mom is both dad and son’s treasure!!

Wuwuwu the aftercare of the QingNan CP is sooooooo sweet!!

…

Under everyone’s anticipation, the first episode of “Fancy Baby” Season 3 finally began recording.

There were four celebrity families in total. Besides Lin Qingye’s family, two of the other families had actor parents, and the remaining one was a sports celebrity family.

Two little boys and two little girls.

Lin Huairan was now four and a half, the second oldest among them.

However, Lin Huairan took advantage of his strengths and quickly got to know the other three children, even faster than his father Lin Qingye got to know the other parents.

But Lin Qingye had been in the entertainment industry for years now, and everyone knew his name well and was aware of his roller-coaster-like experiences.

Although they weren’t familiar with each other, they had all met at various events or award ceremonies. After chatting for a while, they became more acquainted.

Xu Zhinan sat to the side, watching Lin Qingye casually chatting with others, and felt that the current Lin Qingye was indeed very different from when she first met him.

And since Lin Huairan was born, he had become even gentler, no longer as prickly as before.

For the first episode’s recording, everyone arrived around three in the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest.

Today’s task was simple: just make dinner together.

“Which of you knows how to cook?” one of the fathers asked.

Everyone indicated that they didn’t know how. They were all busy with work in their daily lives, and their regular meals were either packed lunches or prepared by chefs. None of them had any dishes they could proudly present.

Lin Qingye scanned the group, then raised his hand, “I’ll do it.”

“You know how?”

“Yes.”

The person laughed, “Among all of us, you look the least like someone who would cook.”

“Learned it after marriage,” Lin Qingye smiled, pointing at Lin Huairan, casually adding, “This little guy’s palate has been spoiled.”

“Don’t you have a housekeeper at home?”

Xu Zhinan: “We hired one during pregnancy, but after Huai-bao grew up a bit, we stopped. Whoever has time, either me or Qingye, does the cooking.”

The group made a drawn-out “oh” sound of realization: “You two are so romantic, enjoying your world as a couple, right? But seriously, has your life changed much after having a child?”

Xu Zhinan thought for a moment: “I don’t think we’ve changed much.”

“That’s nice. When I had just given birth to Cici, I had so much pressure from work that I almost got postpartum depression.”

Xu Zhinan said, “Huai-bao is obedient and quite independent, so he doesn’t require much attention from us.”

But when she turned around, she saw Lin Huairan playing with Cici in the corner again, holding a Transformer model he had specially brought from home.

Generally, little girls don’t like these kinds of toys, but the two children seemed to be getting along particularly well.

Soon, with Lin Qingye cooking and others assisting, dinner was ready in no time.

It looked, smelled, and tasted very good.

Lin Qingye’s initial cooking skills were indeed limited to the simplest dishes, which he figured out on his own.

These cooking skills were all learned after Xu Zhinan gave birth. Having a housekeeper at home was sometimes inconvenient, so after little Huairan no longer needed baby food, they stopped hiring one.

Damn, what kind of divine man is Lin Qingye!!! He can even cook! And it looks so delicious!!!

Ahhh, I want to eat brother’s cooking too!

Please, Xu Zhinan, publish a husband-taming guide! How did someone like Lin Qingye, who looks wild all over, turn into such a good family man?!

…

After the group finished dinner, they prepared to sleep. The real recording session would begin early the next morning.

Following the show’s format, the accommodation each night would be assigned based on how well they completed the day’s tasks. Tonight, they would all stay in small wooden cabins in the village.

Xu Zhinan adjusted the water temperature in the bathroom and called Huai-bao in to bathe.

Lin Huairan waved both hands, “Huai-bao will wash by himself.”

“Let Mom wash you.”

“No, Huai-bao is going to be on TV, wants to wash by himself.”

Xu Zhinan paused, finally telling him to be careful not to slip before letting him have his way.

She brought in Huai-bao’s change of clothes, then closed the bathroom door and came out, walking to Lin Qingye’s side, “Your son is already concerned about his image. He knows he’s going to be on TV, so he’s bathing himself.”

Lin Qingye laughed, “He’s almost five. If he wants to wash himself, let him. You shouldn’t wash him anymore.”

“Who lets a child under five wash themselves? That’s too early. I don’t even know if he can wash himself properly. At home, I should still wash him.”

Lin Qingye put his arm around Xu Zhinan’s shoulders and led her to sit on the edge of the bed, “Before we came, you just told that little rascal that boys and girls are different. You’re a girl, why are you washing a boy’s bath?”

“…” Xu Zhinan was confused by his twisted logic, “What girl? What’s wrong with a mother bathing her son?”

Lin Qingye smiled, curving his lips, “A mother is also a girl.”

Xu Zhinan was about to say something more when Lin Qingye pulled her close, leaning in.

They could still hear the sound of water from the bathroom; the little one was bathing. He didn’t do anything particularly excessive, just pressed against Xu Zhinan and kissed her lips, then used his tongue to trace her lips, making them wet.

Though it was just a kiss, it seemed particularly sensual.

Xu Zhinan’s face reddened from his teasing, her legs going weak as she fell onto the bed like she had no bones. After cuddling for a while, she suddenly remembered something and pushed Lin Qingye away with effort, patting his shoulder.

Her lips were moist and reddened. She lightly pressed them together, and Lin Qingye watched, his gaze deepening, his Adam’s apple moving smoothly up and down.

Then Xu Zhinan said, “Isn’t there a surveillance camera here?”

Lin Qingye paused, still lying on top of Xu Zhinan, turning his head to look, “…”

Xu Zhinan quickly pushed him away and asked in a low voice, “What should we do?”

Lin Qingye was amused by her reaction, “We didn’t do anything inappropriate for minors, what are you afraid of?”

“But this isn’t good, and…” her voice got smaller as she continued.

“And what?” Lin Qingye asked.

And you can make even a kiss seem inappropriate for minors.

Xu Zhinan grumbled inwardly but didn’t say it aloud because of the camera.

“It’s fine, I’ll talk to the production team later. They just need to not broadcast this part,” Lin Qingye patted her face, saying quite inappropriately, “How could I give away my screen debut kiss so casually?”

Later, Lin Qingye did indeed speak to the production team.

The production team didn’t broadcast his screen debut kiss, but the way they handled it was a bit unique.

The scene froze when Lin Qingye embraced Xu Zhinan and pressed her onto the bed, turning into a black screen, leaving only their voices from the audio recorder—

“Isn’t there a surveillance camera here?”

“What should we do?”

“We didn’t do anything inappropriate for minors, what are you afraid of?”

“But this isn’t good…”

It was just a kiss, but after this editing, it seemed like they had done something that couldn’t pass censorship for television.

Release it!!!!!

I’m begging for a paid viewing! I’ll pay! Isn’t that enough?!

Production team, are you looking down on me, a premium VIP?

Hahahahahahaha feeling sorry for Huai-bao! Huai-bao’s inner thoughts: I shouldn’t be in the car, I should be under it.

What Anam said about Huai-bao: “He’s quite obedient and doesn’t need much attention.” Huai-bao: Dad and Mom forgot about me again, I must be strong (fist clenched)!

Hahahahahahahaha the child-forgetting couple [Doge]

…

The first episode of “Fancy Baby” Season 3 quickly gained attention with this hot topic, and the show’s popularity rapidly climbed, directly surpassing the viewership of all other variety shows in the same period.

By the time the first episode aired, they were already recording the third episode.

Early that day, Lin Qingye got up first to complete the game task assigned to all fathers, easily winning first place. When he returned, Xu Zhinan and little Huai-bao had just woken up.

After the three of them finished washing up and went out, they heard another father say, “I just heard from the director that a baby from last season is coming today. I heard it’s Chen Die and her baby.”

Lin Qingye and Chen Die had recorded a show together before and often met at various events. They could chat whenever they met, both having casual personalities, and their relationship was quite good.

And Chen Die, being an actress, was naturally more familiar with the actors in this season’s show.

Lin Qingye raised an eyebrow, “Doesn’t she have two children?”

“Yes, but it seems her daughter is with her now. I saw on her social media that she’s filming nearby these days. She happened to be on break, so the director invited her over. Zhiling had a good relationship with the production team when she was on the show, and she also wanted to come.”

Zhiling was Chen Die’s daughter, Wen Zhiling.

During Season 2 of “Fancy Baby,” Wen Zhiling was known as a little princess.

Her father, Wen Liang, wasn’t afraid of anything except this little ancestor crying—once she started, there was no end to it.

Sure enough, by evening, Chen Die arrived with Wen Zhiling. Wen Zhiling was a few months younger than Lin Huairan.

The two little ones standing together were a feast for the eyes.

Chen Die had been in the industry for many years since graduating from university, and knew many friends in the circle. As soon as she arrived, everyone sat together chatting.

She was attentive and noticed that Xu Zhinan had different conversation circles from them, so she guided the conversation topic to children.

Since these little troublemakers were born, everyone had been exhausted by them, and once they started on this topic, they couldn’t stop. Before they knew it, it was evening and it had gotten dark.

Lin Qingye didn’t relate much to those complaints; Huai-bao was indeed well-behaved in these aspects, and he and Xu Zhinan had a relatively relaxed time as parents.

He took a sip of tea, just as he casually showed off his son, when suddenly there was a commotion behind him.

Wen Liang was carrying Wen Zhiling with one arm and holding little Huai-bao with the other, his expression unfriendly as he approached with a stormy look.

Chen Die was stunned, muttering “Why did he suddenly come?” before standing up and jogging over.

Lin Qingye also stood up, his brows furrowed, taking large strides to directly rescue Lin Huairan from his hands, holding him himself.

Both men were tall and happened to have arrogant faces. Though no words had been exchanged, it looked as if they were about to start fighting at any moment.

Chen Die couldn’t figure out what was going on and tried to mediate, “What’s wrong?”

Wen Liang: “He just kissed Zhiling.”

Chen Die: “…”

Xu Zhinan: “…”

Lin Qingye: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Chen Die was stunned, strangely reminded of her own son’s glorious deed of kissing another girl’s hand when recording Season 2. She never expected it would be her turn this time.

She made an “ah” sound, a bit confused, “Kissed where?”

Wen Liang: “On the cheek.”

Xu Zhinan also walked over, knowing they were in the wrong, and put on a stern face, “Huai-bao, didn’t Mom tell you that you can’t just kiss girls?”

Little Huairan righteously replied, “But Dad said I can kiss my wife.”

Lin Qingye’s eyebrow twitched. “Who’s your wife?”

Little Huairan smiled sweetly, “Sister Zhiling.”

Wen Liang’s frown deepened, and just as he was about to warn his daughter to stay away from this brat in the future, he heard Wen Zhiling excitedly introduce to him in her sweet voice, “Daddy, his name is Lin Huairan, he’s Ling-bao’s boyfriend.”

Wen Liang: “?”

Everyone: “??”

When did these two little rascals reach this consensus???
