Chapter 55

Dragging his weary body, Lishenlin returned to his home near Hongdae. He was so tired, but it wasn't physical fatigue; it was mental exhaustion!

Lishenlin truly admired Shi Ge and the others. They were all in their late thirties, yet they managed to do so many shows. How did they manage to keep up with such a life?

But why was the light on?

"BA~BA!" Little Huhu, seeing his father return, struggled to get down from his grandmother's arms and stumbled over to Lishenlin...

Lishenlin quickly stepped forward to pick up his obedient son, feeling a surge of emotion. A man's fatigue would vanish and he would be filled with energy when he heard his child's "BA~BA!" after a long day at work!

"Mom, didn't you say that Huhu would stay with you tonight, and I would come to pick him up tomorrow?" Seeing his mother's helpless expression, Lishenlin lowered his head and gently patted the little one's bottom, "Did he make you angry?"

The little one was unfazed, playing with Lishenlin's collar and laughing, "BA~BA!"

Lishenlin's mother forced a bitter smile, "You were in your hometown for half a month, and Huhu didn't react like this. I wonder if he's growing up? He knew it was your first day of filming, and after dinner, he wouldn't stop calling for you. I had no choice but to bring him back to you. Once we got home, he calmed down, didn't cry or fuss, and just watched TV with me. It seemed like he knew you would come back and was waiting for you, not even sleeping!"

A warm current flowed through his heart. This was the bond between father and son. "Don't worry, my dear son. Dad will work hard. In the future, you can proudly tell others, 'My dad is the big star Lishenlin.'" Lishenlin gently placed the little one, who had fallen asleep, into his crib and made a silent vow to himself...

"Hehe, who else's son would he be?" Lishenlin said with a proud smile.

"Hmph, you're still my son, but I didn't see you care about me when you were little. You grew up, and I still had to worry about you for so long!" Lishenlin's mother retorted sarcastically...

"Um, I'm a bit hungry. I'll go eat, eat!" Better to change the subject...

The next morning, perhaps because he was so tired the previous day, Lishenlin woke up a bit late, only to be woken by Huhu's voice, "BABACHICHI!"

The little one, just over a year old, knew to call for someone when he was hungry. Seeing the little one looking at him expectantly from his crib, Lishenlin felt a sense of happiness. Having a son was truly wonderful, especially a well-behaved one!

Even though Huhu was hungry, Lishenlin still helped him with his physiological needs first.

Then, Lishenlin quickly prepared the formula, cooled it a bit, and gave the bottle to Huhu, who could now hold it himself. This made Lishenlin's life a bit easier, giving him time to freshen up.

Just as he was brushing his teeth, someone knocked on the door!

"BA~BA!" Huhu was learning more and more and understood the meaning of the knocking.

"I know, my dear son, Dad will open the door!" Brushing his teeth with one hand, he opened the door with the other, muttering, "Who is it? Knocking on people's doors so early in the morning, you'll get what you deserve!" He thought it might be Choe Ji-jung or Hong Chan-min, so he made a small joke.

But what he saw was the Infinite Challenge members, all with black lines on their faces, followed by a camera crew...

Lishenlin's words echoed in their minds: "You'll get what you deserve, you'll get what you deserve..." Looking at the Infinite Challenge staff behind them, they seemed to have been doing well over the years...

"Brother, how did you know where I live?" Lishenlin was curious.

"Didn't you write it down when you signed the contract? But, Shenglin, I know you have a good body, but maybe put on some clothes first!" Lishenlin indeed had a great physique, with well-defined chest and abs, but Liu Zaishi said this mainly because Lishenlin's body was covered in scars, and the show was about to start.

Actually, it had already been filmed, but when signing the contract with MBC, after Liu Zaishi's reminder, they agreed to edit out those scenes...

"Okay, I got it!" Lishenlin quickly finished brushing his teeth, wiped his face, and went to the bedroom to get dressed...

Liu Zaishi picked up Huhu, who recognized him and called out, "Bo~Bo!" "How is it, Huhu is getting cuter, right? He can even call me Uncle now!"

Hmm? No response. Liu Zaishi turned around to see everyone in a daze...

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Although Lishenlin's scars and tattoos had initially caught their attention, and they were curious about his past, this was the first time they had seen his face clearly. He no longer had a beard, and he wasn't wearing his black-rimmed glasses.

Perhaps it was because he was still in his growth phase, but Lishenlin's face had changed. If before he had a somewhat androgynous and soft look, now it was more masculine. This was one of the reasons Lishenlin didn't mind his appearance...

"How old is Shenglin, anyway?" Apart from Liu Zaishi, Park Myung-soo, and PD Kim Tae-ho, the others didn't know Lishenlin's age, just assuming he was around thirty.

Although his clean-shaven face made him look younger, when they saw his face clearly, he definitely didn't look like a child...

"1989, he's twenty this year. Didn't you know?" Park Myung-soo said with a hint of pride, remembering how Liu Zaishi and he had sprayed their drinks when they first learned Lishenlin's age!

After everyone勉强接受了这个冲击性的事实后，Lu Hongzhe asked the question he was most concerned about, "Why is Shenglin so handsome?" He had always considered himself the most handsome man on Infinite Challenge!

This was something even Park Myung-soo didn't know. Only Liu Zaishi, who had met Lishenlin during the filming of "Family Outing," knew, "Hey, you guys, as his older brothers, you didn't even know he was so handsome!"

Seeing Liu Zaishi's smug look, the others really wanted to beat him up...

Lishenlin came out wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt and his glasses, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

"Complimenting how handsome you are!" Little Fatty said with a sour tone.

"Hey, you're so handsome, why don't you become a singer or actor? Why come and compete with us? You know, to do variety shows well, you need a face like mine and Zaishi's!" Park Myung-soo was jealous, why did Zaishi know about Shenglin's looks...

"Brother, compared to you, I'm still very handsome!" Liu Zaishi didn't forget to tease this older brother... "By the way, I don't know why you always hide yourself, but can we air the footage we just shot?"

Respecting necessary privacy is important, of course, this is because of the good relationship. Otherwise... well, you know...
