On a June afternoon, the evening breeze dispelled the midday heat, and the golden sunlight gently bathed the vast paddy fields. The clear water reflected the tender green rice seedlings, and the fine silt at the bottom was clearly visible. Occasionally, small fish would dart past, flicking their tails and creating shallow ripples.

After having lunch at the old lady's house, Lu Chenyue and Le Bao returned to their residence for a nap.

The afternoon's task was for five families to go to the fields to catch fish in preparation for their dinner.

In other words, if you catch a fish, you get to eat; if you don't, you get nothing, and the production team doesn't provide any ingredients.

Doesn't this fall right into the territory of our Le Bao Da Wang's expertise?

It's an outdoor activity tailor-made for her!

The outdoor filming of "Dads and Kids Go Forward" was a lively affair, with five families of fathers and their children gathered in the fields for their ultimate task: catching fish in the rice paddies. Cameras were in position everywhere, and the live chat was already flooded with comments, as viewers eagerly awaited to see the adorable kids' fun antics in the fields.

The production team thoughtfully provided waterproof pants, small fishing nets, and portable fish buckets. The fathers squatted on the edge of the field, methodically dressing their children in the gear and reminding them of safety precautions. Only three-year-old Le Bao was the most restless and mischievous little one on set.

The moment she sees water and fish, that inner energy bursts forth, and she can't suppress it.

Lu Chenyue patiently bent down to fold the waders, carefully smoothing the cuffs with his fingertips, intending to dress the little one before going into the fields. He was afraid the rough mud would dirty his daughter's delicate skin, and he gently instructed her, "Stand still, Daddy will put your pants on and take you down to catch some small fish. Don't run around."

The director couldn't bear to see such an adorable girl like Le Bao become a mess, so she volunteered to comb her hair. Le Bao wore a fluffy bun, her face delicately sculpted, her big, round eyes fixed intently on the shimmering paddy fields, brimming with eager curiosity and restlessness. What adults saw as unfathomable muddy fields was, in a child's eyes, the most fun water park.

The obedient and well-behaved demeanor lasted only two seconds.

Just as Lu Chenyue lowered his head to reach for the other leg of his waders and looked away from his daughter, the little dumpling, who had been standing obediently on the edge of the field, suddenly jumped up, her movements so fast that everyone was caught off guard.

"thump--!"

A loud splash of mud and water suddenly rang out.

All the staff, other fathers, and cameras instantly focused on them.

Little Le Bao leaped into the rice paddy. The soft paddy couldn't withstand the child's impact; her short legs sank deep into the thick mud. The force was so great that her body tilted forward uncontrollably, landing squarely on her knees at a perfect 90-degree angle in the mud!

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The chubby boy had half his knees completely buried in the black, oily mud. His white socks and light pink sandals were instantly swallowed by the mud and water, and the hem of his clean, light-colored skirt was covered in wet, black mud. His originally fluffy and cute bun was also splattered with several mud droplets, making him both comical and adorable.

Lu Chenyue's waders fell "plop" onto the ridge of the field, his pupils dilated in shock, and he was speechless for a moment.

Lu Chenyue: I shouldn't have believed that she would wait patiently.

The live stream chat exploded with comments, flooding the screen.

[Help! What kind of sudden kneeling ceremony is this?!]

[While others put on their shoes before catching fish, Le Bao kneels down first – such a grand gesture, haha!]

[The three-year-old is incredibly reckless, giving his dad absolutely no chance to react!]

[Look at Teacher Lu's face, so utterly dejected yet hilarious—it's so relatable!]

Le Bao, the person involved, was not afraid of dirt or fear at all.

Kneeling in the soft mud, she didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, she curiously wiggled her short legs, which were stuck in the mud, feeling the soft and sticky texture of the mud. Her eyes shone with an amazing light.

The next second, she simply gave up standing up, put her little hands directly into the cold muddy water, and used both hands and feet to slowly crawl up in the rice field like a clumsy but cute little mud ball.

Its small body moved forward arching, each step kicking up large amounts of muddy water.

Her fair little hands were covered in black mud, her elbows and knees were covered in thick mud, and her delicate little face was also covered in two mud marks. In just a few dozen seconds, she was completely transformed from a beautifully sculpted little princess into a mud-covered little doll.

But the chubby boy was completely absorbed in the game, not caring at all about being covered in mud. He just kept his bright eyes on the little fish swimming in the water, having a great time.

Lu Chenyue stood on the edge of the field, looking at his daughter who had completely let loose and whose original clothes were no longer recognizable. He sighed helplessly, but couldn't help but smile. He could only carefully follow beside her to protect her, afraid that she would fall into the water.

In stark contrast to Le Bao's bravery and recklessness is six-year-old Dong Jiaojiao.

On the other side of the paddy field, Dong Jiaojiao clung tightly to her father Dong Wei's clothes, her feet firmly planted on the clean dirt path, refusing to step into the paddy field no matter what. The little girl frowned, her lips pouting, her face full of resistance, her eyes full of disgust for the mud.

"Daddy, the mud is so dirty, it'll get my new dress dirty, I don't want to go down!"

She wore a clean floral dress, her hair neatly combed, looking as delicate as a little doll in a shop window. Looking at the mud splashing everywhere in the field and Le Bao covered in mud, she looked resistant and didn't even want to touch the mud on her toes.

Despite her father's gentle persuasion and patient coaxing, the little girl kept shaking her head and waving her hands, resolutely holding her ground on the ridge of the field, determined to be clean and never get muddy.

The father and daughter stood in a stalemate, one patiently persuading the other stubbornly resisting, a stark contrast to Le Bao frolicking freely in the paddy field.

Five-year-old Zhang Zihao and Zeng Mingxuan, seeing Le Bao crawling around in the paddy field first, couldn't contain their excitement and jumped into the water as well.

"Tongtong, do you want to come down and play? Daddy will hold your hand."

Four-year-old Tongtong watched the three people playing wildly in the field, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

She looked at her clothes, thinking that if they got dirty, her new father would have a hard time.

"Daddy, Tongtong is waiting for you here. Tongtong is cheering for you."

Cheng Xin clearly saw the longing in the child's eyes.

He didn't know why a 4-year-old child could be so sensible, so sensible that it broke his heart.

"Daddy really wants Tongtong to come down and catch fish with him. Can Tongtong help Daddy make this wish come true?"

Tongtong was tempted; her father needed her.

"Okay, Daddy, Tongtong will stay with you."

"Daddy, Tongtong can wash her dirty clothes by herself."

One sentence instantly brought tears to Cheng Xin's eyes, a young man in his early twenties.

It turns out, she didn't not want to come down; she was worried about having to wash her clothes.

What kind of life does this child lead at home?
