My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 634: No One Knows a Daughter Better Than Her Father

Chapter 634: Chapter 634: No One Knows a Daughter Better Than Her Father

In the blink of an eye, tomorrow was Teacher’s Day.

Lin Feng asked Xiaobao, "Have you prepared a gift for your teacher?"

While doing her homework, Xiaobao replied, "I still don’t know what to give!"

Lin Feng suggested, "How about a handmade card or a bouquet of flowers?"

Tired of giving the same gifts every year, Xiaobao wanted to do something more creative.

"Dad, what do you think about a fruit basket?"

Lin Feng thought it was an excellent idea. "Then let’s go buy one after you finish your homework!" Looking at the several fruit baskets filling the trunk, he decided he would go with Xiaobao to deliver them.

Erbao, who had nothing to do the next day, offered to take Xiaobao herself.

Lin Feng questioned her, "Will you be able to wake up?"

Erbao didn’t blush in the slightest. "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get up on time."

「The next day」

Erbao woke up ten minutes late. She hurriedly finished breakfast and, wearing a baseball cap, took Xiaobao to school.

Zhang Yuxi thought Erbao’s baseball cap looked nice and casually asked, "Why are you wearing a hat today?"

Erbao laughed. "Mom, do you want the truth or a lie?"

Zhang Yuxi grew curious. How could there be a true or false answer for wearing a hat?

A father knows his daughter best.

As Lin Feng was clearing the table, he said, "The truth is she didn’t wash her hair, so she’s using the hat to cover it up."

Erbao couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up. "Dad, you guessed it exactly."

Lin Feng urged her, "Hurry and take Xiaobao to school. You need to go early today to deliver the gifts."

Erbao picked up Xiaobao and headed for the garage. "Don’t worry, we won’t be late."

Zhang Yuxi reminded her, "There’s no rush. Drive slowly."

Turning to Lin Feng, she complained, "Darling, Erbao has become too lazy."

Lin Feng only partially agreed, comforting his wife. "Some of it is her own doing, but she’s also been incredibly busy with work, and a lot of things haven’t gotten on track yet. The new recruits at her company are all greenhorns, so she’s been busy training them these past few days. The training only ended yesterday."

"Oh," Zhang Yuxi said, suddenly realizing she knew very little about Erbao.

Seeing her dazed expression, Lin Feng reminded her it was time to leave for work. "The kids are grown up now; they have their own thoughts. If they want to tell us things, they will. If not, then that’s that. She didn’t tell me about this either; I only found out from her social media posts."

Zhang Yuxi snapped back to reality, then got up and grabbed her bag for work.

「It was the end of September when Lin Feng received an international call.」

The caller was an assistant director, inviting Xiaobao to make a guest appearance in their movie, playing a little alien princess. The director was no small name. His films had won Oscars and Golden Globes, and top domestic superstars had worked with him.

Lin Feng was surprised they would reach out to Xiaobao. Lately, Xiaobao had been focusing on her studies, and news about her in the entertainment circle had become scarce. Furthermore, they didn’t necessarily need Xiaobao for the role. The explanation they gave was that Xiaobao’s temperament and appearance perfectly matched the character in the novel.

Only then did Lin Feng learn it was a novel adaptation. The caller hinted that if the first film did well, it would launch a popular IP, leading to long-term collaboration. They gave Lin Feng three days to consider.

During those three days, Lin Feng crammed the novel and was shocked to discover it was an eighteen-part series. As a must-read for any sci-fi fan, it had dominated the bestseller list for an entire month and had tens of millions of fans. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

A long time ago, a few companies had considered launching this massive IP, but after a year or two of rumors, nothing came of it. Only in the last month or two had news broken about the project being rebooted. Apart from the director, the casting for the other roles was a subject of wide debate. Fans were buzzing with anticipation, leaving countless comments on the official website. Some recommended their idols, some their relatives, some even themselves, and others suggested different actors.

Lin Feng occasionally followed entertainment news. A story this big was hard for him to miss. He just never expected they would approach Xiaobao.

In these eighteen novels, Princess Eugene evolves from a five-year-old princess of a defeated nation into the queen who restores her kingdom. Not only is she intelligent and decisive, but she also possesses stunning beauty, making her a goddess in the eyes of many men. In the novel *War of the Planets*, she was the most popular female character besides the protagonist. Unlike the female lead, who was occasionally sanctimonious, Eugene always maintained a cool head and chose the side that benefited her. Her wisdom and tactics were second only to the two main antagonists in the series!

After hearing Eugene’s story, Xiaobao immediately decided to take on the role.

「The next evening, Lin Feng gave them his reply.」

The other party told him to wait for news. For a long time after that, there was no word from them. Meanwhile, the internet was already abuzz with discussions about who would play Eugene; according to the source material, the character was only five years old. Xiaobao waited with anticipation, only to feel a little disappointed when no news came. Lin Feng comforted his daughter, planning to take her to Erbao’s company to see her sisters.

"Hello, this is Claire. My apologies for only contacting you now."

"No problem."

"We will be making an official announcement in five minutes that Lin Xiaobao will be playing the role of Eugene. We hope you can respond accordingly."

"Okay."

"Also, I will be sending you an email shortly. Please look out for it."

"Okay!"

After hanging up, Lin Feng looked at Xiaobao with a smile. "We might have to wait a little before we go see your sisters. Daddy has some work to do. Also, they’ve decided to let you play Eugene!"

Xiaobao jumped for joy. "Yay!"

During the waiting period, Lin Feng had bought Xiaobao the comic book version of *War of the Planets*. She absolutely adored the character of Eugene.

As Xiaobao’s father and part-time agent, Lin Feng had registered accounts for her on various platforms. Erbao usually handled them, posting Xiaobao’s selfies and snippets of her life every now and then, which garnered a lot of followers. On several domestic platforms, she had six million followers, while overseas she only had a little over two hundred thousand.

The official website made the announcement, declaring that Xiaobao would play the role of Eugene and tagged her account. Lin Feng’s side quickly posted a reply.

The news was like a single stone setting off a thousand ripples. Many international fans had no idea who Xiaobao was.

"Lin Xiaobao? Who? Why don’t I recognize her?"

"She can’t be very famous, otherwise I would have heard of her."

"I know her! I’ve seen her videos. She’s such a cute girl!"

Driven by curiosity, they visited Xiaobao’s account and were completely won over by the adorably chubby little girl.

"Wow, she’s so adorably chubby! I really want to give her a hug!"

"In the novel, Eugene is very thin at the beginning. Can she be this chubby? She should lose weight!"

"A chubby Eugene... for some reason, I actually want to laugh!"

"Although she’s cute, she’s not the Eugene I imagined. My daughter would be the best choice!"

"I wonder what her acting is like..."

"Don’t ruin my beloved Eugene! I’ll be heartbroken if you do!"

The mixed reactions from international commentators were normal. In China, however, fans and the general public alike went wild.

Firstly, catching the eye of an Oscar-level director at such a young age was something to brag about. Moreover, the male and female leads were both sought-after international stars; the chance to work with them was an opportunity most actors could only dream of. Finally, being able to take part in such a popular sci-fi project... this was a god-tier opportunity!

Many people felt that Xiaobao had gotten such a great opportunity entirely because she had a rich father like Lin Feng. Some detractors quickly jumped in.

"Please, even if her dad is rich, that just opened a door for her."

"The director isn’t an idiot. It’s not like Xiaobao’s dad has the final say on her acting ability."

"Why can’t she have gotten the role because of her own talent? Why does everything have to be about money?"

"Xiaobao’s acting skills are obvious to anyone who’s watched her. Getting this role might be unexpected, but it’s entirely reasonable."

"Have you idiots even read the novel? The book’s description of Eugene is a perfect match for Xiaobao! That director has a good eye!"

"Go, Xiaobao, go! Mommy supports you! Don’t listen to those simple-minded fools who connect everything to money!"

"Heh, so what if Xiaobao’s dad is rich? So what if he got her this opportunity? Are you saying Xiaobao has no talent of her own? I don’t believe that for a second!"

Fans all sent their congratulations, hoping Xiaobao’s career would reach new heights and gain international recognition.

Regardless of the public commentary, Lin Feng and Xiaobao paid it no mind.
