He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

Washing rice and cooking rice, preparing ingredients.

Chen Hao's movements were skilled and swift, like a master chef who had been immersed in the kitchen for over a decade.

When preparing sea bass, remove the scales, gut the fish, and make diagonal cuts in one go, leaving the fish clean and intact.

Chopping tomatoes, beating eggs, and picking water spinach all have a smooth, rhythmic quality.

Turn on the heat, heat the oil, and stir-fry.

An enticing aroma quickly filled the kitchen.

The scrambled eggs with tomatoes are a beautiful mix of red and yellow, with a sweet and sour flavor; the steamed sea bass is cooked to perfection, the fish meat is snow-white and tender, and it's drizzled with hot oil and steamed fish soy sauce.

With a sizzle, the aroma is irresistible; the garlic-flavored water spinach is bright green and crisp; the seaweed and egg drop soup is light and delicious.

The food was served, and it looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.

"Sisi, wash your hands and eat!" Chen Hao called out to the living room.

"Coming!" Lin Sisi put down her paintbrush, jogged to wash her hands, and then climbed onto the dining chair by herself.

Chen Hao served her rice, picked out the fish bones, and also served her scrambled eggs with tomatoes and water spinach.

Lin Sisi took a small spoon, scooped up a spoonful of golden egg, and put it in her mouth. Her eyes immediately squinted with happiness.

"Dad's cooking is so delicious! It's even better than lunch!"

Chen Hao laughed: "Eat more if it's delicious."

【Ding! 】

[System notification: You received genuine praise for your cooking from your daughter; the father-daughter relationship is sweet.]

[Reward: 10 plush cotton-padded jackets.]

The father and daughter were enjoying their meal when Chen Hao's phone, which was on the table, rang. It was the ringtone for a WeChat video call.

He picked it up and saw that the screen displayed a starry sky avatar and the letter "V"—Lin Caiwei.

He quickly wiped his mouth and answered the video call.

Lin Caiwei's face appeared on the phone screen.

She appeared to be in a dressing room or backstage dressing room; the background was somewhat messy, and you could see the costumes and mirrors hanging there.

She was wearing makeup, heavier than she usually appears on TV, but she was still very beautiful, though there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

"Feed it," Chen Hao greeted first. "Arrived in Beijing? Is it busy there?"

"Yes, I arrived this afternoon and just finished one round of rehearsal." Lin Caiwei's voice came through the microphone, a little soft but very clear.

She didn't exchange many pleasantries and went straight to the point, asking, "How's Sisi? Is she doing well? Is she settling in?" Her tone carried undisguised concern and a hint of uncertain worry.

"Sisi is doing well, she's eating." Chen Hao turned the phone camera to Lin Sisi, who was struggling to eat a piece of fish. "Look."

"Mommy!" Lin Sisi exclaimed excitedly as soon as she saw Lin Caiwei on the screen, her little face beaming with a big smile, forgetting even to eat.

Chen Hao knew that Lin Caiwei's call was mainly to see her daughter, so he handed the phone to Lin Sisi:

"Come on, Sisi, talk to Mommy."

Lin Sisi held the phone, which was a bit too big for her, with both hands, her face almost touching the screen:

"Mom! Mom, I miss you!"

Seeing her daughter's energetic appearance, Lin Caiwei's fatigue seemed to dissipate, and a gentle smile appeared on her face:

"Mommy misses Sisi too. Was Sisi good today? Was Daddy nice to you?"

"Good girl! Daddy is so good!" Lin Sisi immediately switched to "praising Daddy" mode, her little mouth chattering non-stop.

"Dad taught me how to fold paper! I folded so many! There are swans, birds, kittens, and flowers!"

As she spoke, as if eager to show her mother her work, she slid off the dining chair with her phone in hand and ran to the carpet in the living room, pointing the phone camera at the rows of colorful origami works on the floor.

"Mom, look! I folded all of these! Dad taught me! Dad is so amazing, he can fold anything!"

Lin Sisi's tone was full of pride.

[Ding! The daughter showed off and praised the results of the host's teaching to others, and the father-daughter relationship was witnessed by the mother, deepening their emotional bond.]

[Reward: 10 plush cotton-padded jackets.]

Lin Caiwei on the other end of the video call was clearly taken aback.

The origami creations in the video, though slightly crooked, were clearly shaped and neatly folded, which was quite remarkable for a child of just over three years old.

Especially the paper swan and the origami crane, their forms are quite charming.

"These...did Sisi really fold them herself?" Lin Caiwei asked, somewhat incredulous.

She knew her daughter wasn't particularly skillful with her hands. She had bought origami books before, but her daughter would always lose patience after a few folds or make a mess of them.

"Of course I folded it myself!" Lin Sisi puffed out her little chest.

"Mom, you don't believe me? I'll fold one right now and show you!"

As she spoke, she casually picked up a pink piece of paper from the side and sat down on the carpet.

Chen Hao came over and helped her prop her phone up on the coffee table so that the camera could capture her daughter's hand and the paper.

Lin Sisi took a deep breath, her little face full of seriousness.

She recalled the steps her father had taught her and began to move her little hands.

Folding, flattening, flipping, folding inwards... Although the speed is not fast, the steps are clear and the movements are steady.

In no time, a small and exquisite pink origami crane took shape in her hands.

Finally, she carefully pinched the wings and tail of the origami crane to make it look more three-dimensional.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Caiwei watched quietly on the other side of the screen, her eyes widening more and more.

Her daughter's skill in origami and the quality of the finished products completely exceeded her expectations.

Is this really something that can be taught in half a day? Chen Hao... he really has a knack for it.

"Mom, look! I've finished folding it!" Lin Sisi held up the origami crane and waved it proudly at the camera.

"I saw it! Sisi is amazing!" Lin Caiwei's voice was filled with undisguised surprise and admiration.

"You folded it so well." Her gaze seemed to pass through the camera lens as she briefly glanced at Chen Hao beside her, her expression complex.

"Dad even taught me how to draw!"

Lin Sisi was even more excited after receiving her mother's praise. She ran to where the drawing paper was kept and brought over all the "masterpieces" she had drawn that afternoon, showing them to Lin Caiwei one by one.

"This is a panda, this is a puppy, this is a kitten, this is a house and a big tree, and this is a flying fish and a colorful bird!"

She pointed to her imaginative painting and explained it carefully.

Lin Caiwei was shocked again.

Although the cartoon animals were simple, their shapes were captured very accurately, and the lines were much smoother than her daughter's previous "doodles" in her memory.

Especially the "creative painting," with its bold color combinations, is full of childlike fun and imagination.

"Did Dad teach you these things too?" Lin Caiwei couldn't help but ask.

"Yes! Dad taught me how to draw circles, how to draw ears, and how to color! Dad is also really good at drawing!" Lin Sisi nodded vigorously, then, as if afraid her mother wouldn't believe her,

"Mom, look, I'll draw a kitten for you right now!"

She pulled out another sheet of white paper, picked up a black watercolor pen, and began to draw.

Soon, a round cat head, two pointed ears, a few whiskers, and a smiling expression appeared on the paper.

Although it's simple, it's a clear improvement over the first time I drew it this afternoon.

Lin Caiwei watched her daughter intently drawing, and waves of shock washed over her.
