The camera captured a family of three: a soft and adorable child pouting and blowing on a tiny “injury,” a gentle and beautiful “little dad” crouching to comfort him, saying it was nothing, and a cold and distinguished “big dad” who appeared distant and aloof but whose gaze never left the other two.

Netizens drawn by the buzz were astonished, filling the comment section with shocked reactions.

The director monitoring the data behind the scenes was grinning from ear to ear. Among the three sets of guests, he had already anticipated high interest in Ji Miandeng’s family before the show aired, but the reality far exceeded his expectations.

The director was determined: This family needs to be filmed properly!

Soon, the follow-up director received instructions, interrupting the heartwarming moment with a soft request: “Teacher Ji, could you greet the audience?”

Hearing this, Ji Miandeng turned to the camera, naturally lifting Lu Tuan to a proper filming height. His face, long admired by many, was flawless, with features as if sculpted from jade. He smiled faintly and said, “Long time no see. I’m Ji Miandeng. This is my son, Lu Heng, nickname Lu Tuan, who just turned 23 months old.”

Ji Miandeng raised one of Lu Tuan’s small hands, speaking softly, “Baby, say hello to everyone.”

Lu Tuan smiled with his big, bright eyes and waved at the cameraman, the follow-up director, and the assistants, saying in a sweet, childish voice, “Hello, uncles and aunties~”

“And also,” Ji Miandeng pointed to the camera, “Say hello here too.”

Lu Tuan, slightly confused but obedient, hesitated before saying, “Hello there!”

【”Auntie’s heart is melting! Lu Tuan is too cute!”】
【”23 months old and speaking so clearly! What a smart little baby!”】
【”This is too adorable! Instant mom mode activated!”】
【”Ji Miandeng is so beautiful, and the baby perfectly combines the best features of both dads!”】
【”Honestly, Lu Tuan doesn’t even need to pick—either dad’s features would make him look amazing!”】

After introducing his son, Ji Miandeng glanced at Lu Chen, pausing briefly before saying, “This is my son’s other dad.”

Lu Chen, radiating CEO vibes, glanced at the camera with a cool demeanor after being mentioned. In a calm voice, he said, “Hello, everyone. I am Ji Miandeng’s husband, Lu Chen.”

【”That name sounds familiar…”】
【”Google it, and you’ll be amazed. Absolute legend!”】
【”My boyfriend just got into one of the top three universities in Country L and recently landed a job at a major corporation. He was ecstatic for an entire evening after receiving the offer—only to tell me just now that Ji Miandeng’s husband is his boss.”】

Setting aside the way Lu Chen’s identity blew up social media, after the greetings, he carried Lu Tuan and suggested that Ji Miandeng go eat breakfast first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Tuan was placed on the ground, he happily toddled after his “little dad” into the kitchen. When they came back out, he was nibbling on half a custard bun, generously offering the other half to his “big dad” while slurring, “Yummy~”

“Thank you, Lu Tuan,” Lu Chen said as he squatted down, taking the bun and gently patting his son’s head.

After finishing the bun, Lu Tuan grabbed one of Lu Chen’s fingers with his tiny hand and tried to pull him toward the playroom. “Ride bike!”

Lu Chen didn’t move but hugged him instead. “Don’t forget, we’re going out to play in a bit.”

“Go out to play!” Lu Tuan’s big eyes sparkled as he clumsily patted his head. “Lu Tuan forgot. Go out to play! Wait for little dad!”

“That’s right, wait until little dad finishes his food,” Lu Chen replied.

Excited about the outing, Lu Tuan happily stomped his little feet. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he said, “Big dad, big car—”

He made a wide, round gesture with his hands. “Ride big car!”

Lu Chen didn’t immediately understand, but Ji Miandeng, who was eating, chimed in, “He means he wants to ride the bus.”

Lu Tuan nodded enthusiastically, waving his little arms. “Big car fun!”

【”Haha! Our Lu Tuan is the frugal little young master of a wealthy family—so adorable!”】
【”The heir to a billionaire fortune wants to ride the bus? Too precious!”】

Lu Chen understood that kids generally love big vehicles. Thinking for a moment, he recalled that a motorhome had been added to his garage last month. So, he turned to Lu Tuan and said, “Alright, we’ll ride the big car.”

【??? I thought they were taking the bus.】
【Wasn’t it mentioned earlier that the guests were heading to C Province? Maybe they’re taking a coach bus?】
【Perspective shift—this is the boss we’re talking about. Betting on the motorhome.】
【Voting for the motorhome too!】

The filming director quickly contacted the production team. The sponsor had already arranged vehicles for the guests. If the guests used their own vehicles, this could backfire on the show.

The director, monitoring the live comments, gritted his teeth and said, “Forget it, just let them do what they want.”

After everything was prepared, Lu Chen carried the essentials for Lu Tuan while Ji Miandeng carried Lu Tuan out the door in one arm.

As the elevator descended, Lu Chen turned to the filming director and asked, “What’s the license plate number?”

The filming director was confused, “Huh?”

Lu Chen kindly clarified, “The sponsor’s car. Which one did the production team arrange for us?”

He had gone through the script and knew that the show required some product placement. At the very least, the vehicle scene had to be captured.

Surprised but delighted by this unexpected professionalism, the filming director quickly jotted down a string of numbers and showed them to Lu Chen, who gave a slight nod.

Little Lu Tuan, only half-understanding the conversation, clung to Ji Miandeng’s shoulder and chimed in after they finished talking, “Big car!”

Lu Chen lowered his head to look at him and gently explained, “It’s a small car for now. We’ll take the small car first, then switch to the big car later.”

“Yay!” Hearing that they would eventually get to ride the big car, Lu Tuan cheered happily.

Lu Chen, momentarily infected by his joy, let a subtle smile appear on his lips and asked, “Do you really like big cars that much?”

The little one enthusiastically nodded, his voice full of childish charm.

Ji Miandeng chuckled, adding, “Lu Tuan can be quite insistent. Whenever he sees a double-decker bus, he has to ride it.”

As he spoke, his eyes met Lu Chen’s serious, attentive expression, and his mind momentarily buzzed.

Recently, Lu Chen had been acting more and more like a proper father, prompting Ji Miandeng to share this casually without realizing it.

Lu Chen, unaware of the pause, nodded thoughtfully, “That’s nice. You can see more of the scenery.”

Following the license plate number provided by the production team, the family of three found their designated vehicle and got in, where the driver was already waiting for them.

The other group of three, who came down at the same time, boarded a separate vehicle. Without the need for filming inside a confined space, they had some privacy.

Strapped into his car seat, little Lu Tuan pointed at the passing scenery outside, enthusiastically babbling about it to both his dads.

Amid the harmonious chatter, the car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

【Lu Chen pampers Lu Tuan so much! He pays attention to every little thing the kid says and likes, explaining everything patiently without brushing him off, even if he might not fully understand. Admirable!】
【Absolutely. Most kids would throw a tantrum if they expected a big car but saw a small one instead. Lu Tuan didn’t because the adults around him never broke their promises, so he knows he can trust them.】
【I’m in awe of the power couple. Turns out not every parent is like mine or like Zhang Wen next door.】

…

The livestream viewers were deeply moved, and a hashtag—#SoParentsLikeThisDoExist—climbed its way onto the trending list.

The most popular post under the tag read:

[@LefengLose20KgOrChangeMyName]:

This morning, I opened Growing Up With You and watched both the Movie King family and the Movie Queen family. One is notoriously “problematic,” while the other is famously a model family.

P1 shows Lu Tuan saying he wanted to ride a “big car.” Without hesitation, Mr. Lu fulfilled his wish. Now, the family is in a small car heading toward the big car that little Lu Tuan was looking forward to.

P2 and P3, however, feature Zhang Wen promising his daughter, Tang Tang, to buy popping candy. Once they hit the highway, Tang Tang reminded her dad about it. But Zhang Wen told her there were no candy stores on the highway. The light of expectation in Tang Tang’s eyes instantly dimmed. She didn’t throw a fit—it seemed like she was used to this.

Little Tang Tang doesn’t know how many convenience stores they passed on the way to the highway from their house in the city or how many of those stores could’ve had the popping candy she wanted so much.

And just like her, I didn’t realize parents like Lu Chen and Ji Miandeng actually exist.

Without Mr. Lu and the Movie King in comparison, I might’ve been like the commenters in P4 from Zhang’s livestream—praising Zhang Wen’s gentle apology to his daughter as that of a rare, good dad.

But now I suddenly realize, we’ve almost never seen love that’s unconditional, overflowing, and present in every single moment.

Trending Topic #1: “Seeing Lu Tuan this happy really made me cry. I’m not envious of his dads being wealthy, I envy that both of them unconditionally fulfilled his wish to ride a big car.”

Trending Topic #2: “Fans of the Best Actress, stop shouting. Sure, Mr. Lu has the means to fulfill Lu Tuan’s wish for a big car, but all Candy Baby wanted was a pack of popping candy. /sobs/”

Trending Topic #3: “Lu Tuan, does your dad still need 280 more babies? /cries/”

The external buzz didn’t affect the warmth of the little family.

As the car drove near Lu Chen’s estate on the outskirts of the city, the butler was already waiting at their destination. Lu Chen and Ji Miandeng had been enjoying the scenery with Lu Tuan the entire trip. Still brimming with energy, Lu Tuan was visibly excited.

Lu Chen got out of the car first, holding Lu Tuan, while Ji Miandeng exited from the other side carrying their belongings.

As soon as Lu Tuan got out of the car, he looked around in Lu Chen’s arms and let out a loud exclamation, “Waaah～～”

The follow-up filming crew hadn’t caught up yet, leaving the live comments in a frenzy:

[?? What’s going on??]

When Ji Miandeng came around, Lu Chen turned back to look. The silver-haired butler greeted them warmly, “Young Master, Madam, Little Young Master.”

Lu Tuan politely replied in his sweet baby voice, “Grandpa Jin～”

“Ah, the Little Young Master has grown taller and more handsome!” The butler approached with a smile.

Lu Chen nodded slightly. “Uncle Jin.”

Ji Miandeng greeted him as well.

The butler handed Lu Chen a set of keys and took the bags from Ji Miandeng. “Are these the Little Young Master’s belongings? Perfect timing. I wasn’t sure which toys he’d want to play with, so I can fill in whatever’s missing.”

Ji Miandeng gave a soft acknowledgment, not taking the comment seriously. After all, the RV likely already had identical toys, but these were the ones Lu Tuan was used to.

The filming crew from the other car finally arrived, hurriedly capturing the scene, including the family of three, the butler, and the outrageously large RV, all in one frame.

[OMG! It really is a BIG car!]

[Wow, so this is what a CEO’s big car looks like. 🫢]

[Let me call him Dad first out of respect. /salute/]

With the RV now in play, the filming crew busily discussed with Ji Miandeng about installing cameras inside. For privacy in enclosed spaces, they aimed to minimize filming to let the family act more naturally.

Why not ask Lu Chen directly? Because, simply put, they didn’t dare.

The butler, overhearing their conversation, chimed in, “The car’s built-in monitoring system has new cameras with full-angle, no-blind-spot coverage. I can grant your program partial access.”

The follow-up director: “…Thank you.”

[Shoutout to @Treeberry, even the RV cameras outshine your filming equipment.]

[The follow-up director looks like they’re going through a trial. /facepalm/]

[Just rename the show already to A Glimpse Into a New World.]

After coordinating everything, Lu Chen instructed Uncle Jin to drive the garage cars back and have the show crew’s car parked in the RV garage.

Ji Miandeng had already taken the bouncing Lu Tuan into the RV, and from time to time, they could hear his sweet little voice exclaiming, “Waaah～!”

[This is the highlight of this RV’s life. Also, did you see? The car Uncle Jin drove off was a global limited edition—only ten in the world!]

[At this point, anything less than a limited edition wouldn’t even be surprising, would it? →_→]

[Hearing Lu Tuan’s little ‘waaah’ somehow makes me feel better about life.]
