Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 16,Part 1: — Daddy Dearest??

‘A glamorous big star abandons his child, letting the child live a miserable life of picking up garbage and selling scrap.’

All of a sudden, Lin Cheng was scolded on the Internet.

#Lin Cheng a cruel son

#Lin Cheng suspected of abandoning child

#Lin Cheng despicable

#Lin Cheng’s heart disease

These were matters constantly on the hot searches.

The paternity certificate between Lin Cheng and Lin Momo—previously released by the entertainment company to support Lin Cheng—now became the best evidence that Lin Cheng abandoned his daughter.

Then, like pouring oil over fire, Lin Cheng’s old scandals from ten years ago were also dug up.

The explicit chat records between Lin Cheng and his fans; the indecent photos between women and someone suspected to be Lin Cheng; a video of a female fan entering Lin Cheng’s hotel room—all of them were exposed.

Lin Cheng: a former popular singer who tricked his fans and caused one of them to become pregnant.

And after that, learning of the child’s existence, in order to maintain his own image, he cruelly threw the child out to the streets, and he has been ignoring the child all these years.

Until recently, in order to use the child to become popular on a reality show, he brought the poor child back to his side and tricked the child into signing an unfair contract.

The ‘truth’ surfaced. Lin Cheng became a thoroughly unscrupulous artist who cheated his fans and abandoned his own child.

As for Lin Momo, with the hard work and helpful intervention of thousands of enthusiastic internet fans and celebrities—she was sent to a social welfare institution.

By the end of the dream, Lin Momo was forcibly taken away by a group of people she didn’t know, away from grandmother Liu Cuifang, and away from the home she had lived in for nearly ten years.

There were a lot of people around. They were holding mobile phones and bright lights. They asked Lin Momo to take a photo with them, let Lin Momo greet fans in front of their cameras. They had asked Lin Momo to change into clothes they provided; now they recorded a video of her accepting gifts they sent. They made Lin Momo smile, let Lin Momo say thank you.

In the dream, Lin Momo didn’t want to do any of this, but she was only small, and she couldn’t resist.

“Let go of me!”

Lin Momo was startled awake.

… …

She opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar white ceiling. Lin Momo was in shock: this was not the house where she lived with her grandma, nor the place where she and Lin Cheng recorded programs together.

Could it be that the dream had come true and she was really sent to the orphanage?!

The idea made Lin Momo even more terrified, and she struggled to escape, her mind still caught in the dream.

… …

Outside, the person in the corridor heard the little girl whimpering. Lin Cheng called the doctor and nurse over.

When the three of them entered the ward, Lin Momo was curled up in a corner of the bed, hugging the quilt tightly. Her face was pale and her eyes in a daze.

“You’re awake. How are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable?” The nurse asked softly, approaching Lin Momo.

Lin Momo didn’t seem to hear it; her expression was dull.

“Little girl?” The nurse raised her hand and waved it in front of Lin Momo’s eyes.

Lin Momo was so frightened that she trembled and began to mutter, as if trying to appease:

“Thank you, big brother.”

“Thank you, big sister.”

“Hello, everyone.”

“I like it.”

“I like this place very much…”

… …

What Lin Momo kept repeating were the things that those people in the dream asked her to say. Over and over.

Her abnormal behavior alarmed the nurse in front of her.

The nurse turned around and asked the doctor behind her nervously, “Doctor Ning, why don’t you come and see what’s going on with this child?”

The doctor also frowned slightly, walked quickly to the bedside, and examined Lin Momo.

“Could it be that because of this child’s high fever…” her brain was affected?

The nurse said it in a low voice. But realizing in time that the child’s father was right next to her, she held back the last few words.

Unexpectedly, it was Lin Cheng who asked directly, “Is her brain affected by the fever?”

“According to the examination, the child is normal, and the fever has already subsided. She had a high fever for several hours. Now she’s suddenly awake and it’s normal to be a little confused. It should be fine after a while.”

Sure enough, as soon as the doctor finished speaking, Lin Momo began to realize there were people standing by her bedside. She had already calmed down and was now looking at the people around her suspiciously.

The moment she saw Lin Cheng, Lin Momo’s eyes lit up.

Lin Momo looked at Lin Cheng and asked, with clear surprise in her voice, “Are you still here?”

Lin Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly.

What do you mean by ‘is he still here?’ Even if this wasn’t his real child, out of humanitarian reasons, he wouldn’t leave Lin Momo in the hospital by herself.

Obviously, Lin Cheng misunderstood what Lin Momo meant.

“What’s your name?” Lin Cheng asked.

“Lin Momo.” Lin Momo replied automatically.

“What’s my name?”

“Lin Cheng.”

Hearing this, Lin Cheng nodded: her brain seems alright.

… …

After the questions were asked and answered, Lin Momo’s consciousness slowly recovered from the influence of the dream. She looked around the surrounding environment again, and surprise slowly dawned on her small face.

“Is this a hospital?” Lin Momo asked Lin Cheng.

“Mmm.”

“Why am I in the hospital?”

“You had a high fever yesterday. Are you uncomfortable anywhere else?”

“No…” Lin Momo shook her head.

… …

Children’s illnesses come and go quickly.

After waking up and resting for a while, Lin Momo was alive and kicking again, and happily followed Lin Cheng out of the hospital.

On the way back, as Lin Momo followed Lin Cheng home, she looked up at the man beside her curiously: If everything in the dream was a vision of the future, did that mean that this person was really her father?

T/N: Is Lin Cheng really Lin Momo’s dad??
