The meal finally ended with Huo Xiaozheng facing reality.

Seeing an opportunity for footage, the camera crew immediately urged Huo Guining to go mooch food from another household.

Huo Guining haughtily declared that she would uphold her father's dignity, so she wouldn't go!

The father and daughter sat in the courtyard, their expressions numb as they smelled the aroma of meat wafting over from next door.

"Dad, I'm sleepy," Huo Guining said after a moment, using the excuse of a nap to leave the courtyard.

The room faced the sun, but it was still bright even after Huo Xiaozheng drew the curtains.

He dug out a large eye mask from his suitcase and put it on Huo Guining. "Sleep well, have a good nap."

Though the nap was just an excuse, Huo Guining quickly fell asleep to the sound of Huo Xiaozheng typing on his keyboard.

An hour later, the production team came to call them, reminding the father and daughter that it was time to gather.

They went through the same routine as the early morning. By the time they reached the meeting point, Huo Guining was still nestled in Huo Xiaozheng's arms, half-asleep.

Yinuo, hiding in her father's arms, giggled: "Big sister is shy, she's not fully awake yet."

Hearing this, Huo Guining drowsily patted Huo Xiaozheng, signaling him to put her down.

Huo Xiaozheng held her shoulders, letting her lean against his leg.

He then took out a wet wipe and cleaned her face. "Does this help you feel more awake?"

Huo Guining nodded.

The others arrived one after another.

The host announced the afternoon's itinerary: the cute kids would go on a treasure hunt in a nearby ancient village.

The more treasures they found, the more rewards they could exchange them for.

"What kind of rewards?" asked Haohao, the son of singer Yue Shuhua.

Haohao was chubby and adorably cute, with a babyish voice.

The host asked in return, "What kind of reward would Haohao like?"

Haohao replied, "I want ice cream and candy."

The host said mysteriously, "Well, Haohao will have to work hard to find treasures. Who knows, you might be able to exchange them for ice cream and candy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other children immediately started clamoring.

"Alright, now please take your task cards and follow the map to find the treasures!" the host announced.

Huo Guining inwardly scoffed at how childish it all seemed.

Huo Xiaozheng crouched down and earnestly instructed Ningning: "Don't go anywhere dangerous. If you feel unwell at all, have the cameraman uncle contact Dad immediately, understand?"

He then cast a cool glance at the cameraman.

Huo Guining nodded, accustomed to such instructions.

The other children had already spent time together in previous episodes, so they were relatively more familiar with each other.

They held hands and looked in Ningning's direction.

Liang Wenzhuo, the oldest boy, called out loudly as he saw Ningning dawdling: "Hurry up! We'll be late if we don't leave now!"
