MTL - Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show-Chapter 24 cause of the matter

The man who spoke was dressed in black, with a fleshy face, a fierce look, and an unpleasant smell of alcohol.

Lin Momo wanted to run, but the opponent grabbed her arm tightly.

"You little bastard, you still want to run away." The man spat and said with a sinister smile.

In the next second, Lin Momo was dragged out from behind the light box by the other party, and walked towards a certain shop in the vegetable market.

Lin Momo bit her lower lip, trying to break free from the opponent, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, Lin Momo was not a man's opponent at all.

While dragging Lin Momo, the man was still cursing: "Damn, you were lucky last time, but this time I hit you and killed you..."

The director who was filming Lin Momo stood seven or eight meters away from the two of them with a dazed look on his face: "It happened so suddenly, he didn't know what was going on now, and he didn't dare to follow up rashly."

Here, Lin Momo was about to cry, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of him.

Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Cheng discovered an abnormality not far behind him.

Seeing Lin Momo being forcibly dragged by a man, Lin Cheng let out a roar and walked quickly towards the two of them.

"What's the matter?" Lin Cheng asked coldly.

Seeing someone approaching, the man in black was stunned for a moment, but in the next second he showed an arrogant expression.

"What's going on, I'm doing my business, it's none of your business!" The man cursed, then threatened Lin Cheng, "Don't meddle in your own business."

Hearing this, Lin Cheng sneered coldly: "You dragged my child, saying it's none of my business?"

After all, Lin Cheng glanced at the man's hand on Lin Momo's arm, his eyes became colder.

"Let go."

The man's heart was startled by Lin Cheng's suddenly cold tone and aura, his hands trembled, and he subconsciously let go of Lin Momo's arm.

Lin Momo, who had regained her freedom, quickly ran behind Lin Cheng and hid.

From the hand she held tightly on the back of Lin Cheng's clothes, it could be seen that Lin Momo was afraid and uneasy at this time.

The man in black looked cautiously at Lin Cheng, then at Lin Momo behind him, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"You said this is your child? Are you the adult of her family?" The man pointed at Lin Momo in surprise and said, after finishing speaking, he shook his head and said, "That's impossible."

"nothing is impossible."

"It's you," Lin Cheng looked at the man with dangerous eyes, and asked, "What do you want to do to my child?"

Facing Lin Cheng, the man felt a little timid: he had seen a lot of people of all kinds, and this person in front of him was definitely not easy to mess with based on his experience.

"It's nothing, look at this little bitch... The child is sneaky and doesn't know what to do. Educate her in advance."

"Since you are an adult, you'd better take care of your own child. If you do something with dirty hands and feet, I won't be polite to her."

The man said unwillingly, and then gave Lin Momo a reluctant look, before he left embarrassingly.

Seeing the man leave, Lin Cheng squinted his eyes: the way the man looked at Lin Momo just now and his attitude didn't seem so simple.

Lin Cheng looked inquiringly at the camera following him, wanting to know from the other party what happened during the few minutes when he was not there just now.

But the camera just shook his head, expressing with embarrassment that he didn't know what happened.

"That person seemed to be a drunk just now." The camera whispered.

So, the whole thing was probably just an accident.

Lin Cheng didn't think so.

Although he didn't get along with Lin Momo for a long time, he had an unexpected understanding of the kid's temperament.

— Something is wrong with Lin Momo.

If it was just an ordinary encounter with an unknown drunk, Lin Momo shouldn't be so scared.

Sensing the girl's fear, Lin Cheng's heart tensed up subconsciously.

Lin Cheng gave the camera crew a 'don't follow me' look, and led Lin Momo to a small alley next to the vegetable market.

Seeing the figures of the father and daughter disappear into the live broadcast screen, everyone in the live broadcast room began to get nervous:

[What's going on, what happened? 】

[Didn’t the camera guy just say that he met a drunk. 】

【It is estimated that Lin Momo was frightened. Dad took her to a quiet place now to comfort her. 】

[It must be, I saw Momo's face turned pale with fright. 】

[Such a young child will definitely be scared when encountering such a situation, and might leave a psychological shadow. 】

[Although...why not let the cameraman follow? 】

[At this time, it would be too cruel to let a lot of people from the program group follow. 】

[That is, although I also want to know the current situation, the most important thing now is to let the child calm down. 】

…

When the audience in the live broadcast room were talking about it. Lin Cheng has already led Lin Momo into the alley.

The alley was quiet all around, and the space on both sides was relatively small, which also made Lin Momo feel a sense of security.

Lin Cheng turned off the recording equipment on the two of them.

Knelt down, looked at Lin Momo, and asked, "What happened just now?"

Facing Lin Cheng's question, Lin Momo shook her shoulders, bit her lip and shook her head, without saying a word.

"Don't want to say?" Lin Cheng asked again.

The girl still bowed her head and did not speak.

Facing Lin Momo's rare stubbornness, Lin Cheng had a headache, but he still asked her patiently, "Have you seen that person just now?"

Although it was a question, Lin Cheng's tone was almost certain.

"No..." Lin Momo only finished half of her words.

Facing Lin Cheng's serious eyes, Lin Momo finally nodded.

In the next second, pea-sized tears fell out of Lin Momo's eye sockets 'patter papa'. The look of grievance and uneasiness made people feel distressed.

It was also the first time Lin Cheng saw Lin Momo crying like this, and he felt a little at a loss.

"If you have something to say, don't be afraid." Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo in a light tone.

In the end, while sobbing, Lin Momo explained the reason for the whole incident.

—

Last Friday, after the recording of the show, Lin Momo was picked up and sent back to her home.

On Saturday, Lin Momo went to the snack street and vegetable market to pick up bottles as before.

Lin Momo remembered the stipulations in the previous contract, in order not to be recognized by others, she specially chose a time with fewer people and a later time to come out.

As a result, when Lin Momo came to this vegetable market and walked past a tobacco shop, she was about to pick up a few empty wine cans scattered outside the shop when she was caught by the boss inside.

The other party insisted that Lin Momo was a thief, saying that she stole things from the store.

The boss dragged Lin Momo to the door of the store, and used sealing tape to trap her hands on the concrete pillar next to the door, demanding that she lose money.

The boss shook out all the bottles and cans that Lin Momo carried in the big bag, and the other party said that she stole the 11 yuan she got from selling scraps.

People passing by saw that Lin Momo was dressed in rags, and she was carrying a dirty woven bag, "both stolen and stolen", and they all believed that she was a thief.

No matter what Lin Momo explained, no one believed her.

A few people couldn't bear it, and finally chose to turn around and leave silently.

Later, the police came.

Since there was no monitoring in the smoke hotel, the monitoring coverage of the vegetable market outside was limited. When Lin Momo arrived at the door of the store, most of her figure was blocked by the concrete pillars outside.

Therefore, the evidence at the scene can't prove that Lin Momo didn't steal anything, but it can't prove that she did.

In the end the whole thing could only end with mediation and critical education.

…

And the fat man in black just now is the owner of the tobacco shop.

After listening to Lin Momo's narration, Lin Cheng was silent for a few seconds, the expression on his face could not be seen clearly under the darkness.

"That's where you got the head injury that day?"

Lin Cheng remembered that when he saw Lin Momo at the company this Sunday, the girl was depressed and still had bruises on her forehead.

Lin Momo nodded, then shook her head again.

That day, the police finally contacted Lin Momo's guardian.

Unable to contact Liu Cuifang, they found Liu Cuifang's son, Zhang Xiaoqiang.

Zhang Xiaoqiang was originally playing cards in the mahjong parlor, but he was called to the scene reluctantly. Seeing Lin Momo, Zhang Xiaoqiang beat Lin Momo up without any explanation.

The wound on his forehead was accidentally knocked on Lin Momo when he was pushed to the ground by the opponent.

"I really didn't steal anything." Lin Momo looked at Lin Cheng and explained nervously.

She was afraid that Lin Cheng would be like those passers-by who thought she had stolen something and didn't like her anymore.

"I know, you didn't steal anything." Lin Cheng replied. The tone was flat, but inexplicably reassuring.

Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Lin Momo's eyes lit up.

"Really? Do you believe I didn't steal anything?" Lin Momo couldn't wait to confirm.

"Well, I believe in you." Through the few getting along with each other, Lin Cheng really believed that if the child in front of him needed money, he would earn it with his own hands and would not steal other things.

After receiving Lin Cheng's affirmative answer again, Lin Momo laughed through tears: finally someone is willing to believe her.

"Thank you." Lin Momo whispered to Lin Cheng.

"Let's go out." Lin Momo tugged on Lin Cheng's sleeve again and said, she didn't forget that they are still recording the show.

"Let's go."

The two walked out of the alley.

When passing by the tobacco shop, Lin Cheng took another look at the store.

Lin Momo, on the other hand, followed Lin Cheng a little bit scared.

Lin Momo didn't relax until he walked a few steps away, pointing to the door of the Tobacco Hotel and explaining to Lin Cheng: "That day I was just picking up pots at the nearby place, and I didn't even go near his shop..."

While talking, thinking of being regarded as a thief and the 11 yuan she was robbed by the other party, Lin Momo's mood fell again.

Sensing Lin Momo's depression, Lin Cheng subconsciously wanted to touch her head to comfort her.

However, halfway through raising his hand, Lin Cheng hesitated.

This is not his own child, and it is obviously inappropriate to act too intimately.

Lin Cheng's hand stopped five or six centimeters away from Lin Momo's head.

Just when Lin Cheng was about to withdraw his hand, Lin Momo seemed to understand his intention, and jumped up, letting the top of her head touch Lin Cheng's palm.

The palm of the adult is warm, which makes people feel unusually at ease.

Lin Momo grinned at Lin Cheng.

At this time, Lin Momo's face was still covered with tears that had dried up just now, and she was crying and laughing, looking ugly.

Fortunately, Lin Cheng didn't dislike him.

—

The two returned to the recording screen.

Seeing the interaction between the father and daughter, the audience thought that Lin Momo was frightened just now, but now she has been coaxed by Lin Cheng.

Therefore, this episode did not cause much disturbance.

The recording of the father-daughter duo continues.

Bringing the purchased meat, vegetables and Lin Momo, Lin Cheng rode a tricycle back to their residence.

The child's emotions came and went quickly, and when he returned home, Lin Momo returned to his usual appearance.

Lin Cheng did not forget what happened just now.

"Show me your hand." Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo.

Lin Momo didn't know why, but she still stretched out her palms towards Lin Cheng.

"Arms, sleeves rolled up," Lin Cheng said, and added: "The right side."

Lin Momo obediently rolled up her right sleeve when she heard this.

The moment the sleeves were rolled up, there was also a red mark on Lin Momo's arm.

This was left when Lin Momo was dragged by the owner of the smoke hotel just now.

Lin Cheng didn't say anything, he took the previous medicine and applied it to Lin Momo.

At this time, Lin Cheng realized something was wrong - Lin Momo's arm could not be seen carefully, but there were faint marks on it if he looked carefully.

Lin Cheng wiped away the concealer that Lin Momo had smeared on his arm, revealing the bruises and some scars underneath.

Lin Momo withdrew her hand and quickly covered her arm with her sleeve.

"It's not done this time, but before..." Lin Momo whispered.

Indeed, there were new injuries on Lin Momo's arm, but most of them were old injuries.

"how did you make it?"

"It was just done by accident..."

Some were accidentally bumped into when she went to pick up bottles to collect paper shells, some were beaten by others, and some were made in school when she was in school.

Lin Momo subconsciously didn't want her father to know about her bad things.

Seeing the girl's uneasiness, Lin Cheng stopped questioning her.

"Chen Yu and the others don't repaint the things they gave you." Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo after turning off the recording equipment of the two of them again.

You can guess with your toes, Chen Yu and the others must have come up with this stupid way of letting children use concealer to cover their scars.

"Where are there other injuries?" Lin Cheng asked again.

Lin Momo shook her head.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng had no choice but to pass the ointment to Lin Momo: "There are still wounds, go and apply the ointment by yourself."

"If you can't paint it..." After a pause, Lin Cheng said again: "I'll invite the landlady to come."

"It can be applied." After finishing speaking, Lin Momo took the ointment and ran back to the room.

Fortunately, this time their house has one bedroom and one living room. Lin Momo lives in the bedroom inside, and Lin Cheng lives outside, so there is no need to deliberately avoid it.

—

Lin Momo applied the medicine and walked out of the room. The first thing she saw on the table was a big bulging flour basin.

Lin Momo's eyes lit up, and she asked Lin Cheng, "Is that dough ready?!"

"Um."

Before setting off, Lin Cheng had kneaded the dough and soaked the dry goods in water. At this time, both the dough and the dry goods could be used directly.

Seeing Lin Cheng nodding, Lin Momo felt excited.

"Can we start making buns?"

After looking at Lin Momo for two seconds, Lin Cheng nodded: "Yes."

"Then let's get started!"

Ready to start busy with livelihood issues, Lin Momo quickly put the previous things behind her.

Lin Cheng took out the purchased vegetables and prepared to deal with them.

Lin Momo wanted to help, but Lin Cheng wanted to refuse, but seeing the positive look on the girl's face, he found some dishes that were easier to wash and asked Lin Momo to wash them, while he cleaned the rest in the room. Chopped ingredients.

…

In front of the computer, looking at the picture of Lin Cheng cutting vegetables, Wang Xi showed a **** expression on his face.

"I didn't expect that the last reality show would turn Brother Cheng into a good man at home!" Wang Xi said with emotion. A man who works hard is really handsome.

Chen Yu nodded in agreement: Although it was unexpected, Lin Cheng's changes in the show were indeed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Yu had already started thinking about accepting Lin Cheng's endorsement in his mind.

In the other group, the actor Gao Yuankai has a lot of fans because he is proficient in laundry, cooking, and light bulbs. .

Chen Yu thought: With Lin Cheng's current status and popularity, it must be wishful thinking to be endorsed by a big name like Bai Yulin. The endorsement should be fine.

"However, having said that, what happened at the vegetable market just now, is it really all right?" Zhou Qi said with some concern.

The audience might just take that scene as an accident and not take it too seriously, but they know Lin Momo's real life situation, so they can naturally think that what happened just now is not that simple.

"Look again." Chen Yu sighed and said in a deep voice.

He had a bad premonition in his heart: for some reason, he always felt that Lin Cheng had something to say about this matter.

—

the other side.

Lin Momo had already carried a pot full of vegetables to the small yard downstairs to wash it next to the faucet.

Lin Momo washes carefully: every vegetable leaf is scrubbed clean inside and out.

Seeing this scene, several comments floated across the bullet screen in the live broadcast room:

[Just wash the baby so clean, I bought this bun! 】

[Boss Lin, bring me a cage! 】

[Boss Lin’s steamed stuffed buns are ugly, but they are clean and hygienic, and genuine. 】

[I also come to two cages! 】

[I have three cages. 】

[Four cages. 】

…

When Lin Momo washed the dishes and brought them upstairs, Lin Cheng had already processed other ingredients.

"Dad, the dishes are ready." Lin Momo said to Lin Cheng.

"Um."

"What else do I need?"

"Need not."

Lin Momo: "..."

"I can help you." Lin Momo said unwillingly, and added: "I can make buns."

Lin Cheng looked up at Lin Momo: "Then go over there and wait."

The subtext seemed to say that Lin Momo would get in the way here.

"oh."

Lin Momo responded, and obediently backed away from the chopping board.

However, in the next second, Lin Momo came back again, moved a small bench, sat in front of the chopping board, and stared at Lin Cheng and Zong quietly with his chin resting on his hands.

The work at night is much more complicated than in the afternoon. They need to prepare stuffed buns of various flavors.

Before purchasing, the two checked the formula online.

Lin Cheng started filling the buns one by one according to the recipe.

The process is not fast. Lin Momo was sitting by the side, and at some point, she had already dozed off, her head drooping little by little.

When Lin Cheng prepared the eight kinds of fillings, and looked up again, Lin Momo had already fallen asleep sitting on the bench, with her head tilted to one side and her mouth half-opened. She looked a little funny, but also made people feel a little distressed.

Lin Cheng didn't wake her up.

Walking over and looking at the sleeping girl, Lin Cheng wanted to get her into the room to sleep, but he didn't know how to do it. In the end, she had no choice but to carry Lin Momo to the sofa to sleep.

—

Lin Cheng quickly wrapped the remaining buns by himself.

After finishing more than a dozen cages of steamed buns, it was already late at night.

Lin Cheng didn't go to sleep, but went out through the night.

This scene was not captured by the live camera.
