"Young Master Lin, where are you running off to? Wait for me~"
"Demoness! Even if you capture me, you'll never have my heart!"
In the spacious living room, two little girls with tender voices were reading these lines, playing a game of "The King of Qin Runs Circles" with Lin Shuang.
"Young Master Lin, don't run away~"
"Demoness, don't come near me~"
The slightly shorter girl was about to be caught while running around, so she hugged Lin Shuang's leg and called for outside help, "Daddy! Save me!"
The taller girl pouted and criticized her sister, "That line wasn't in the script."
Lin Shuang laughed and picked up the two little ones, placing them on his lap, "The show is about to start, let's play later, okay, Little Yao and Little Ge."
With his daughters, his voice became so gentle.
The slightly taller girl was Tong Ge's daughter, named Lin Ge, and the slightly shorter one was Tong Yao's daughter, named Lin Yao.
This time, the younger sister Tong Ge finally won against her older sister...
Now the older sister's daughter has to call her daughter "older sister"!
It's like reversing the heavens!
The two little dumplings bounced around joyfully in Lin Shuang's lap.
"Change the channel, daddy!"
Lin Shuang switched the TV channel just as the opening theme song began to play.
His and Yu Zhishui's duet echoed in the living room.
"Water Mama sings so beautifully~"
Lin Shuang hugged his daughters, "And what about Daddy?"
"Daddy sounds good too~"
"But not as good as Water Mama or Wan Mama~"
The ending theme of the show is sung by Su Wan and Yu Zhishui.
Throughout the show, there are many inserted songs sung by the other girls in the family.
In fact, the drama was invested in and produced by the Lin Family's film company, with the entire family acting, directing, and singing, telling their story... well, it's their fantasy drama.
It's basically the family playing themselves.
Initially, it was just a fun project, but to everyone's surprise, it became popular... maybe because the whole family is just too good-looking?
Now it's reached a wide audience, even being discussed in their daughters' preschool class.
While Lin Shuang pondered this, as the ending song finished, the TV displayed a scene that wasn't exactly "family-friendly"...
The storyline had reached the point where Zhu Xiaoman, the mischievous woman, finally caught Young Master Lin, leading to some suggestive scenes...
Even though it was just a few abstract scenes, Lin Shuang, being the dad, immediately covered his daughters' eyes from both sides.
"Daddy, let me see what Zhu Mama is doing!"
"Kids aren't allowed to watch this..."
Tong Ge came out from the kitchen with a plate of cut fruits, glanced at the TV, then looked disapprovingly at Lin Shuang, "Don't let the kids watch this too often."
Lin Shuang thought to himself, you were part of it too!
Taking advantage of his daughters having their eyes covered, he puckered his lips to ask his wife for a kiss.
Tong Ge, looking as if she had no choice, leaned in to give him a kiss, only for him to make a loud smooch sound.
The girls in his arms started to act up, "Daddy and Mommy, what are you two doing secretly!"
Lin Shuang chuckled as he released the two little darlings, "Time to eat some fruit, an apple a day~"
Little Lin Yao obediently continued, "Keeps the doctor away~"
Little Lin Ge began to whine, "Only if Daddy feeds me will I eat~"
Tong Ge picked up her daughter, "How about Mommy feeding you?"
Little Lin Ge became obedient, whispering, "Okay~"
She seemed a little afraid of her mom.
After all, Tong Ge was indeed very busy, absorbed in her research and having less time to spend with her daughter.
Lately, she's been particularly interested in biology, leading a research group focusing on life extension studies.
Yet, everyone in the family has a rather unique constitution, naturally living long lives from the start.
There's still a long journey ahead to enjoy the happiness.
The two daughters munched on fruit while watching their parents' drama for a while, becoming lively again during commercials.
"When will Yao Mama come back? And Water Mama~"
Today is a special day, a day when the whole family gathers together.
August 23, their wedding anniversary.
When they graduated from university, Lin Shuang bought this little island, hosting a collective wedding for everyone.
It feels as if it were just yesterday... how quickly time flies.
Just as little Lin Ge's voice subsided, Tong Yao entered holding the hands of four little girls: Lin Wanwan, Lin Han, Lin Yu, and Lin Yiyi.
Ah... all the daughters in the Lin family have similar naming formats: father's surname plus mother's first name.
The six little cuties swarmed Tong Yao, crowding around her for hugs.
Tong Ge looked at her daughter, who had just been sitting in her lap, and pursed her lips.
When it comes to motherhood... the younger sister still loses out to her older sister.
Lin Shuang smiled and squeezed her hand.
With six daughters dangling off her, Tong Yao waved to Lin Shuang, "Hubby~"
She still wore that eternally gentle smile.
But if it were the past, she would've definitely dashed over to snuggle with Lin Shuang—well, now the daughters have her surrounded.
In the backyard, arranging flowers and plants, Su Wan, Yan Han, and little Lingmeng heard the commotion and came to join them.
Wanwan plopped down next to Lin Shuang, "Feed me some fruit, hubby, my hands are sandy."
Little Lingmeng, the tiny one, mixed into the group with the kids, throwing a tantrum towards Tong Yao, "Yao Mama~"
The daughters, feeling jealous, teamed up to squeeze her out, "Dream Mama is so childish!"
Over the years, Lingmeng has felt increasingly smaller! This year, she even got into Huai City University as a freshman—unlike the other family members who have already graduated; it makes her seem even younger, always telling people she's just eighteen.
Seeing their daughters surround A Yao made Daddy Lin a little envious!
"Come give Daddy a hug too!"
Little Lingmeng rushed over and hugged him, "Dad~ Dy~"
Tong Ge looked at them with disdain, "... You two should act a bit more restrained in front of the kids."
But the daughters, distracted by little Lingmeng's antics, followed her lead to contend for Daddy, playfully encircling Lin Shuang.
Such a bustling and lively family.
Finally freed by the daughters, A Yao, smiling, went off to help in the kitchen.
Xia Yubing, Xia Yixin, Zhu Xiaoman, and Song Qingqing had been busy in the kitchen for a while.
Such an important anniversary, they all wanted to cook personally.
Voices came from the kitchen, "A Yao, you're finally back! Zhu Xiaoman almost wrecked the kitchen, that demoness!"
"Clearly it was Yubing who did that!"
Su Wan took out her phone, "I'll ask Shuishui when she's coming."
Yu Zhishui's soprano rang out from the door the next second, "Hubby~ I'm back!"
The daughters clamoring around Daddy Lin immediately scampered off to surround Water Mama; besides A Yao, she's the best at playing with the kids in the household, this silly one~
Maybe it's because she's a silly one that she gets along so well with the kids~
Shuishui picked up each daughter and lifted them high, "Ah~ they're all so cute, honey, I want to have one too!"
The curious kids asked her, "Water Mama, how did we come into this world!"
"You were gifted with a phone top-up~"
Yan Han laughed too, "I found you and brought you home!"
Tong Ge seemed worried that their silliness might rub off on the daughters, pulling these two away to the backyard to tidy up.
The backyard is a garden, and beyond it, just a few steps away, lies the azure sea and sky.
Later, they'll face the vast sea, enjoy the blooming flowers, and celebrate their marriage anniversary.
Now in the living room, only Lin Shuang and his daughters were left; as commercials ended, they focused back on watching the family-drama series they starred in.
By the time the commercial break ended, everyone was engrossed once again in the show.
The moment the show resumed, little Lin Han impatiently asked.
"Daddy! Daddy! Can you give us a spoiler about what happens in the end!"
Big sister, little Lin Yao, raised her hand to answer, "I know, I know—it's now, daddy and mommies living happily together."
Daddy Lin wrapped his arms around his daughters, smiling as he spoke, "It's a very happy ending."
