At 5 p.m. on Saturday, just like Su Yuqing, who said one thing but felt another, there were many netizens waiting on the video platform for Traveling with Babies to air.
[I just love the Fruit Channel's habit of airing a few minutes early every time.]
[I heard there's a Film Empress in this variety show, so I specifically downloaded the video app.]
[I've been looking forward to this variety show for so long, I won't miss even the pilot episode!!]
[I came for our little darling! Go go, baby!! Mama loves you!]
Fruit Channel’s post-production was always top-notch, and the video quality was very pleasing to the eye. The variety show opened with the Film Empress Zhang Huijin's family.
The production team's staff suddenly knocked on the door, with a cameraman carrying a camera following closely.
Zhang Huijin's skin was very well maintained. At thirty-four, having already given birth to two children, she still looked no different from a girl in her twenties. The first adorable child to appear was Zhang Huijin's eldest daughter, Huo Ling'er, who was participating in the variety show with Zhang Huijin this time. Wearing a white princess dress, she was sweet and adorable, her features resembling her mother’s younger self. It was obvious at a glance they were family.
Living in a large villa, with a mature and steady husband, and two children who were each cuter than the last, such a life made the audience in front of their screens envious.
The second family introduced was that of internationally awarded pianist Lin Yao. He and his son, Lin Doudou, were walking their dog in the neighborhood. As a result, four-year-old Lin Doudou, the clumsy one, was dragged around the entire neighborhood by the dog, causing netizens to burst into laughter.
After watching the first two families for about half an hour, Su Yuqing still hadn’t seen any sign of Gu Suisui. Losing patience, she dragged the progress bar far ahead, straight to the last father-daughter pair introduced.
[Oh my goodness, I really like the adorable children who appeared earlier. I just wonder how this last little adorable child is. When I watched the preview yesterday, I thought she was the prettiest one.]
[Can't wait to see King and little cutie Suisui interacting. I feel it's going to be very interesting.]
[Hahahaha, I skipped directly from the beginning to here, planning to watch this temporary father-daughter part first, and then go back to watch the others. Ever since Ke Jingyang's photo with the child appeared on the hot search, I've been really looking forward to their performance in the parent-child variety show.]
[Sisters, same here! I also came over from Ke Jingyang's child-carrying photo. I just want to see what happened to him in that episode of the variety show.]
For the appearance of the last celebrity father-daughter duo, the first shot the production team gave was of little Gu Suisui in a pink-purple sleeveless dress.
She seemed shy, giving a sweet smile to the camera. Immediately after, a staff member handed her a task card, telling her it was a clue written by her intern dad, and her task today was to find him in the park.
[God, "the most handsome and charming man in the entire park," hahaha, why is Ke Jingyang so narcissistic? This must be tough on our little one. Suisui clearly looked confused after the staff member's explanation.]
[Pfft hahahahahahahahaha, life is hard, I usually don't laugh, unless I really can't help it, hahahaha!]
[The little one searching for someone in the park is so cute. I want to hug her and pinch her little cheeks. They must be soft and comfortable.]
[Huh? The little one stopped when she saw the cotton candy stall in the small square. Is she seeing food and not planning to look for her intern dad anymore, hahaha?]
[Little one, ditch him and let him experience the harshness of the world too.]
[Ahhhhhh, so adorable.]
[Holy moly, holy moly, holy moly! I was at XXX Park on the day of the variety show recording. I suddenly regret being too focused on my run and not going to watch the fun.]
The later content of the pilot episode showed Ke Jingyang, who had become a bit impatient waiting, striding with his long legs to look for the little adorable child in the park. Then he saw Gu Suisui staring longingly at the cotton candy in front of a stall. He snatched the cotton candy that the little girl had just gotten and hadn't even had a bite of, even tearing off a small piece and putting it into his own mouth. Afterward, he annoyingly said, "This cotton candy tastes pretty ordinary, tsk, too sweet."
[I knew it!! The trailer showing him buying cotton candy was definitely because he made the girl cry first! Snatching candy from a child is way too much!! If anyone had stolen mine when I was little, I’d cry for two hours straight!]
[Hahaha confirmed, Ke Jingyang is actually three years old, mentally younger than Suisui herself!]
[Ke Jingyang is actually three years old, confirmed +1]
[Ke Jingyang is actually three years old, confirmed +1]
[Ahhhhhh, little one, don't cry, Mama will hug you! Mama will buy you cotton candy! Lots and lots of cotton candy!! Let's ignore Ke Jingyang, that big bad guy who bullied you!]
Suisui, on the verge of tears, called him “a big bad brother” in her tender childish voice, breaking viewers’ hearts. The audience in front of their screens wished they could instantly appear at the recording site to hug and comfort her.
Su Yuqing couldn't help but frown when she saw this scene. This Ke Jingyang is so old and still bullies children. How childish! Why did the production team invite him?
Many netizens shared her thoughts. Who could watch such a porcelain-doll girl crying her eyes out on screen?
Later, Ke Jingyang deliberately said in a fierce tone, "You are not allowed to cry." The little girl in front of him seemed to be scared and cried even harder. Then he ran to the cotton candy stall and said what was said in the preview, buying a pink cotton candy for the little girl.
A man 1.89 meters tall, holding a pink cotton candy that was completely at odds with his demeanor, stood awkwardly in front of a much shorter little girl and said in an unnatural tone, "Here, this is much bigger than the one you had. So don't cry anymore."
Later, little Gu Suisui, who had finally stopped crying, cautiously ran over and shyly took her intern dad's hand. In the sunlight, the sight of the big and small figures holding hands made people unable to help but give an "auntie smile."
[The last scene was really heartwarming. I'm completely won over by this little child, Gu Suisui.]
[I originally came to watch Traveling with Babies for my King, but I unexpectedly fell for the little girl who partnered with him as a temporary father-daughter duo. I even had the thought of throwing out King, the culprit, after seeing her cotton candy snatched...]
[Little Suisui is really cute. Ahhhh, I'm actually captivated by a three-and-a-half-year-old girl! I want to steal a child tonight, boo hoo hoo.]
[Ke Jingyang, let go of that good child and let me do it!! You're not allowed to bully her anymore. She's so well-behaved. How could you be so heartless as to snatch her cotton candy and scare her?]
[Ahhhhhh, sisters who said they want to steal a child tonight, wait for me, let's go together. I also want a daughter as cute as Suisui.]
The extra-long pilot episode aired by the Fruit Channel this afternoon was one hour and thirty minutes long. The parts about Gu Suisui and Ke Jingyang combined were less than twenty minutes long. Many people expressed that it was not enough after watching it and wanted to continue watching.
Su Yuqing felt a myriad of emotions after watching all the variety show content.
Ever since Gu Suisui mentioned she was participating in Traveling with Babies, a parent-child outdoor reality show, she had been confused for several days.
Su Yuqing's feelings for the current Gu Suisui were becoming increasingly complex. She even felt sorry for the little girl on TV who had her cotton candy snatched and cried her eyes out, just like the netizens.
...Gu Suisui was actually quite suitable for this kind of heartwarming parent-child variety show. It looked much more pleasing than those messy variety shows from her previous life.
After the extra-long pilot episode of Traveling with Babies aired, the hot search list was filled with topics related to this variety show—
#FilmEmpressZhangAndDaughterParticipateInParentChildVarietyShow#
#DiggingIntoTheCelebrityKidsInVarietyShows#
#AReviewOfPastStarKids'Looks#
#KeJingyangGuSuisui#
Because of the parent-child variety show Traveling with Babies, the term "star kid" also gained widespread attention from netizens. Not only were the star kids participating in the variety show discussed, but child stars who were formerly star kids and are now active in the entertainment industry were also dug up.
Of course, if there was one topic that was currently the hottest and most popular online, it had to be the temporary father-daughter duo of Ke Jingyang and Gu Suisui.
From the initial conflict when they first met to the final act of the big and small figures holding hands, netizens discussed it for a long time.
Gu Suisui, this outstandingly beautiful and adorable little girl, naturally received praise from most people. Not only was she pretty, but her personality on the show was also very likable. Even when she was made to cry, she would still cautiously try to get close to her intern dad.
This scene touched countless hearts, making people exclaim that they couldn't handle such an adorable "cuteness overload" from a child!
However, the situation of Ke Jingyang, this intern dad, was more complex online, with both good and bad reviews—
[Hmm... honestly, wasn't Ke Jingyang's act of snatching the child's cotton candy in the show a bit too much?]
[Yes, yes, I used to like his songs quite a lot, but I didn't expect him to treat our little one like that on the show. I've decided to unfollow him and become just a passerby starting today.]
[I find people like Ke Jingyang the most disgusting. He dresses so inappropriately, like a delinquent. I don't know why so many people are fans of him.]
[If anyone dared to bully my child like that, I would never let it go.]
[My idol was just joking with the child. Later, when he saw Suisui crying because of it, didn't he go to the stall next door and buy her a pink cotton candy? Did you brainless haters even watch the show carefully?]
Ke Jingyang's fans, of course, believed that their idol was someone who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and that his actions on the show had no ill intent.
However, some netizens believed that bullying a three-and-a-half-year-old child and snatching her cotton candy would leave a psychological shadow on the child's young mind. They also said that it was one thing that Ke Jingyang used to have a bad temper, but now he was taking advantage of his age to bully a child, which made him unworthy of being an idol and unworthy of being an intern dad.
And those netizens who remained neutral and rational expressed—
[The show has only aired a pilot episode, and the main show hasn't even started yet. It's not appropriate to so arbitrarily determine a person's character. Let's wait and see.]
[I simply like watching the interactions of this temporary father-daughter duo. I feel that the big and small pair are a good match, and the atmosphere is quite good. I didn't feel the discomfort that others mentioned.]
[When we were little, who didn't argue with their parents at home? Who didn't snatch food from their siblings? Ke Jingyang has never been a father; this is his first time. Can't everyone be a little more lenient with him? At least watch a few more episodes before making a judgment.]
[Didn't a photo of Ke Jingyang carrying a child appear on Weibo's hot search a few days ago? I feel that this photo is enough to prove that his actions in the pilot episode were not malicious. If he truly had a very bad personality, he wouldn't have shown such an expression to two children.]
[I think the analysis above is very correct. You can't generalize when judging people. Three or four-year-old children are very sensitive to adults' emotions. If Suisui felt that this person was bad to her, why would she hold his hand later?]
[I also stand with little cutie Suisui. I won't praise or criticize Ke Jingyang; I'll wait to watch a few more episodes of the variety show.]
As a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry, Ke Jingyang had many followers and high popularity. Sometimes, even a photo of him buying water at a convenience store could make it to the hot search, let alone an incident like this. There were discussions about him everywhere online, and along with him, Gu Suisui, the adorable child who partnered with him as a temporary father-daughter duo, was also repeatedly mentioned.
But one undeniable point was that Traveling with Babies, this parent-child outdoor reality show, exploded in popularity!
The theme song of Traveling with Babies was sung by the guests themselves. After finishing the recording of the second episode in Fengxi Village, they had to return to the National Capital together to record the theme song in a recording studio.
The name of the theme song was the same as the show's name, Traveling with Babies. The demo and lyrics of this song had already been sent to the adults long ago.
This theme song was specially commissioned by the production team from a renowned and celebrated composer and lyricist in the industry, at a high cost. At that time, they didn't know that Ke Jingyang would participate in this variety show. The lyrics of the theme song were catchy, and the melody was very easy to remember, so recording it in a day wouldn’t be too hard.
"Suisui, eat your breakfast a little faster. We're going to the recording studio to record the song today, don’t keep Auntie Tang waiting.”
Gu Suisui lived in the Capital, so that afternoon, Tang Jiu first sent the little one home and arranged with Feng Yaoqin that she would pick her up again at 8 AM the next day to go to the recording studio.
Nibbling her sandwich, Suisui’s eyes curved into a smile. With her mouth still full, she mumbled: “I know, Mama.”
Feng Yaoqin used a tissue to wipe the salad dressing from the corner of her mouth, revealing a helpless yet doting smile.
Ever since Suisui began filming dramas and shows, she had earned quite a bit, over hundreds of thousands in savings. Their quality of life had improved a lot. Though Feng Yaoqin ached for her daughter’s hard work, she couldn't help in other ways, so she could only constantly find ways to make delicious food for her, ensuring that all three meals a day met the highest standards.
Gu Suisui's current Weibo account was managed by her mother, Feng Yaoqin, who would occasionally post beautiful photos of her daughter.
Feng Yaoqin never expected the effect of Traveling with Babies to be so good. When the preview just came out, she noticed that Suisui's Weibo followers had increased by almost 200,000 in half a day.
After the Fruit Channel’s extended pilot episode aired online the previous afternoon, her Weibo followers began growing even faster.
In just one night, Suisui's Weibo followers directly surpassed one million!
