Chen Xiaokun was washing socks, a hint of reluctance on his face.
Many people in the live chat were criticizing Chen Qi, and Li Huange's expression became somewhat complicated.
After Chen Xiaokun finished washing the socks and hung them up, he returned to the dining table only to find that Chen Qi had already served him a bowl of fragrant rice.
He had even added some dishes on top of the rice.
Chen Xiaokun looked at Chen Qi in surprise.
Chen Qi smiled slightly.
"Maybe I'm not very good at interacting with kids, but I think when dealing with a boy, you shouldn't treat him like a child."
"Your mom is very busy, so the two of us have plenty of time at home. Inevitably, we'll have many differences in opinion, so how do you want me to treat you?"
Chen Xiaokun ate in big bites, not saying a word.
"I think I should treat you like an adult. What do you think?" Chen Qi asked.
Chen Xiaokun looked up, "I am a man!"
Chen Qi clapped his hands with a laugh.
"Great, a man! Then let's solve our problems in a manly way from now on!"
...
Watching this scene, Bai Qinghe suddenly said:
"As a child psychology expert, I've never learned this kind of educational method. A child is a child. I agree with treating a child as a friend, but treating them as an adult will definitely lead to problems!"
Lin Xiaolu nodded in agreement, "Ms. Bai is absolutely right, a child is a child."
Li Huange was initially quite happy to see Chen Xiaokun eating and to see some effect from Chen Qi's education. But hearing Bai Qinghe and Lin Xiaolu start to criticize again, she became a bit displeased.
To achieve the program's effect and certain plans, Li Huange tried not to say much.
But that didn't mean Li Huange didn't have a temper.
Li Huange was well aware of Bai Qinghe and Lin Xiaolu's intentions. Weren't they just trying to belittle the first family so that their own families would gain more recognition during the live broadcast?
"Why do I feel like Ms. Bai and Actress Lin are always picking on Chen Qi? I wonder how the two of you educate children at home?" Li Huange asked.
Bai Qinghe smiled faintly, "I've specifically studied child psychology and family studies. Our family educates children in the most scientific way."
Lin Xiaolu had a slightly proud expression, "I also often watch courses and videos on family education."
Li Huange couldn't spoil anything, so she had to hold back for now.
"Oh? Then I must take the opportunity to learn from both of you."
But after saying this, Li Huange was slightly taken aback herself.
Bai Qinghe and Lin Xiaolu immediately looked at Li Huange with probing eyes.
Could it be...
[I have a bold guess...]
[It seems like Bai Qinghe and Lin Xiaolu have been picking on Chen Qi's parenting, while Queen of Songs Huange seems to be defending Chen Qi. Could it be...]
[Impossible! This is a parenting show. Although Queen of Songs Huange is indeed married, she doesn't have children.]
[So Chen Qi can't be Queen of Songs Huange's husband. The only one worthy of Huange is me, Long Aotian!]
...
Chen Qi quietly waited for Chen Xiaokun to finish two big bowls of rice.
"So... do you want to wash the dishes?"
Chen Xiaokun wiped his mouth, "If I wash the lunch dishes, that means I qualify to eat dinner, right?"
Chen Qi nodded with a smile.
Chen Xiaokun got up to clear the table and then took the dishes to the kitchen sink.
The sound of running water started, and the viewers were immediately amazed.
Many people have the challenge of raising children. It's not about making kids do chores to share the burden; parents often want to cultivate their children's diligence and hands-on abilities.
But most of the time, they soften because of their love for their children.
Chen Qi achieved this effect with just one meal, and many people couldn't help but shift their opinions, thinking Chen Qi's method was right.
Chen Xiaokun also gained a wave of new fans.
"Do you want to take a nap?" Chen Qi asked.
Chen Xiaokun's tone was a bit unfriendly, "The father-son agreement states that you shouldn't interfere with any of my actions."
Chen Qi spread his hands with a laugh.
"Then suit yourself."
Chen Xiaokun watched Chen Qi sit back down by the computer, typing away, and couldn't help but feel curious.
What is this gigolo doing?
Could he be working?
But Chen Xiaokun didn't ask. His eyes shifted, and he turned to the music room to get a guitar.
He pulled up a chair, sat by the large floor-to-ceiling window, and started playing a melody, then began singing to himself.
[Hey, hey, hey? Xiaokun, you're not being fair. Are you trying to outshine my son?]
[He can even play and sing by himself? His skills are better than mine after three years of learning guitar.]
[It sounds like the new song "Chasing the Moon" by Su Yu, the newcomer from Queen of Songs Huange's company!]
Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
[The kid can actually sing with such emotion...]
...
At Huange Entertainment.
Li Huange's personal assistant, Fu Qing, stared at the screen, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.
"Only Huange and Lin Duo from the creative department have seen the sheet music for this song, but the chorus was modified. Is it really Chen Qi?"
"Huange arranged for Xiaokun to sing in front of him. How will he react?"
Watching this scene, Li Huange was also a bit expectant.
Xiaokun's guitar playing was really impressive, with a hint of a childlike voice trying hard to mimic an adult's singing style, which was very cute.
The barrage of compliments on the live chat made Li Huange feel gratified.
Bai Qinghe was not only an actress but also a singer. Although her musical achievements weren't very high, she was still considered excellent. She could tell how good Chen Xiaokun was, and she frowned slightly but then relaxed.
My son is no worse than Chen Xiaokun!
Lin Xiaolu had the same thought at that moment.
As Chen Xiaokun continued playing and singing, the song reached the chorus, and Chen Xiaokun's emotions burst forth, his voice suddenly rising.
"Chasing that cold, bright moon,"
"Crossing the sea of clouds, breaking through the galaxy..."
Chen Qi's hands suddenly paused on the keyboard, his brows furrowing slightly.
Chen Xiaokun seemed to sense Chen Qi's attention and stopped after finishing the first verse.
He didn't say anything.
Chen Qi's brows relaxed slightly, and he continued typing on the keyboard.
But Chen Xiaokun frowned, once again playing and singing the chorus of "Chasing the Moon."
This time, Chen Qi finally looked up, raising his hand slightly.
"Is there something?" Chen Xiaokun stopped and looked at Chen Qi.
Chen Qi sighed softly.
"Sigh... my cursed perfectionism..."
[Here he comes, here he comes, he's going to nitpick again.]
[Are you sure Chen Qi is nitpicking? He really pointed out Chen Xiaokun's piano mistakes.]
[Can a stay-at-home dad play guitar too? Is he raising the bar for being a gigolo?]
[I'm really curious about the level of the female owner of this house.]
Chen Qi pointed at Chen Xiaokun's left hand.
"There are two issues!"
"First, your left hand isn't relaxed enough. You can try starting from any string and fret with a half-step scale ascending. First, press the string firmly to make the sound, then lightly press in the same position, so the right-hand plucking results in a muted sound..."
The live chat was suddenly filled with question marks.
Li Huange stood up abruptly.
He really knows!
No, no, no, he hasn't actually played yet, just offered professional advice.
Everyone in the studio looked at Li Huange.
Bai Qinghe and Lin Xiaolu's expressions betrayed their inner thoughts...
So it was true!
