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

Chen Hao drove his daughter back to the Yundingfu residential area smoothly.

After parking the car, I picked up Lin Sisi, who was still excitedly telling me about her fun experiences at kindergarten, and just as I stepped into the house, my phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that familiar starry sky profile picture on the screen—a WeChat video call request from Lin Caiwei.

"Huh? Mom called so early today!"

Lin Sisi, who was in his arms, also saw it and immediately became excited.

Chen Hao was also somewhat surprised.

Lin Caiwei usually waits until Sisi has finished dinner or goes to bed before calling.

This time today is indeed much earlier than usual.

He carried his daughter to the living room sofa, sat down, and answered the video call.

Chen Hao paused slightly upon seeing it, and subconsciously held his breath for a moment.

On the screen, Lin Caiwei was clearly in a hotel room.

She seemed to have just taken a shower; her hair was still damp and casually draped over her shoulders.

She sat back against the headboard of a large bed, wearing a light apricot-colored silk slip dress.

The nightgown is made of very soft and smooth fabric that hugs the body's curves, and features a loose V-neck design.

Perhaps because she was completely relaxed in her private space, or perhaps because she had just taken a shower and was leaning against the bed without noticing, the neckline of her nightgown was slightly open.

From this angle, Chen Hao could clearly see a dazzling expanse of snow-white skin.

Below her delicate collarbone lay a soft, undulating expanse of snow-white skin and a deep, alluring cleavage that was faintly visible.

Under the soft bedside lamp, it gleamed with a delicate, jade-like luster.

The silk fabric clings softly to the body's curves, outlining a graceful silhouette.

Her long hair was slightly damp and casually draped over her shoulders. She wore no makeup, but her natural beauty only enhanced her natural charm.

There was a hint of weariness in her eyes, but also a kind of homely, unguarded softness.

This was the first time Chen Hao had seen Lin Caiwei so domestic... and so sexy without even realizing it.

She is completely different from her pure and dignified appearance in front of the camera or her aloof and distant demeanor in private.

A surge of heat suddenly rushed to his head, making his ears feel hot, and his heart began to pound rapidly.

But he immediately forced himself to look away, trying to focus his attention on her face while maintaining a calm expression.

He even added a perfectly timed hint of doubt as he greeted us, his voice sounding fairly normal.

"Feeding? Finishing work so early today?"

Lin Caiwei on the other end of the video seemed completely unaware of the "scenery" she was currently enjoying.

She simply adjusted her posture, and the patch of snow-white skin beneath the neckline of her nightgown swayed playfully with the movement.

She looked at Chen Hao and her daughter, who was curiously peering over from the camera, her face showing a mixture of inquiry, curiosity, and a hint of eagerness.

Instead of speaking to her daughter first as usual, she looked directly at Chen Hao and asked bluntly:

"Chen Hao, I just heard a song online called 'Starlight and Dust'."

Did you write this song?

Her voice came through the microphone, less ethereal than usual, more relaxed and direct like after a shower, but the content of her question made Chen Hao pause for a moment.

Did she hear that?

They found us so quickly?

They even directly suspected him?

Chen Hao's mind raced, but he didn't show it on his face. He paused slightly, then nodded calmly.

"Yes, I wrote it. How did you hear it?"

He admitted it readily; since the other party had asked directly, any attempt to cover it up would only seem pretentious.

"This song was really written by my dad!"

Before Lin Caiwei could answer, Lin Sisi, who had been nestled in Chen Hao's arms with her head close to the phone, excitedly exclaimed and clapped her hands.

"Mom! Dad's song is so good! Dad, sing it for me! Let me know how amazing you are!"

The little guy didn't forget to fulfill his role as "Dad's ambassador" once again.

Lin Caiwei shifted her gaze from Chen Hao's face, glanced at her excited daughter, and then looked back at Chen Hao, her expectation in her eyes becoming even more pronounced.

She didn't answer Chen Hao's question about "how he heard it," but simply followed her daughter's words and said softly:

"Yes, Chen Hao, could you... sing it for me? The full version."

Her tone carried an undeniable plea, along with a subtle, almost imperceptible urgency to verify it personally.

Looking at Lin Caiwei's clear yet seemingly insightful eyes on the screen, and then at his daughter's expectant face in his arms, Chen Hao knew that there was no escaping it today.

He hesitated for about two seconds, then finally nodded: "Okay."

He handed the phone to Lin Sisi: "Sisi, hold the phone for Dad, just like last time, and point it at Dad and the piano."

"good!"

Lin Sisi happily took the phone, which was still a bit big for her, and held it steady with both small hands, aiming the camera at Chen Hao, who was walking towards the piano.

Chen Hao sat down at the piano.

This time, my feelings were completely different from when I sang nursery rhymes last time.

The last time was more of a performance for his daughter, filled with the warmth and casualness of a father's love.

This time, the audience was Lin Caiwei—a rising star in the Chinese music scene and a professional singer.

He is about to sing a pop song that he composed himself, with complex arrangements and rich emotional layers.

He took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and placed his fingers on the piano keys.

Instead of using the complex arrangement from the previous recording, he used only piano accompaniment, which better highlighted the charm of the melody and vocals.

The intro begins with a simplified piano melody, lacking electronic effects and drum beats.

But the sense of emptiness and loneliness, along with the faint sadness, is all the more pure, flowing directly from the black and white piano keys.

Chen Hao began to sing.

"Whose wandering is reflected in the midnight shop window..."

His voice, transmitted through the phone's microphone, reached Lin Caiwei's ears in her hotel room in Tianjin.

Without the enhancement of professional recording equipment, only the most direct sound wave transmission.

But it was precisely this "primitive" state that made Lin Caiwei hold her breath instantly.

It's him! That's the voice!

Although the accompaniment was only a simple piano, it was completely different from the richly arranged and well-produced version she had heard online.

But the singers' voices, pronunciation, breath control, and emotional expression are exactly the same!

That unique magnetic timbre, that effortless yet deeply emotional singing style, that narrative quality that tells the story of the lyrics so vividly… it’s definitely one person!

The song "Starlight and Dust" that's online is sung by Chen Hao!

The mysterious musician who signed his name "Haolin" is the man in front of her who is playing and singing for her (and her daughter)!
