A Billionaire CEO Brings His Child Home: The Awakening of the Stay-at-Home Dad System

Shen Xiaoting's legs are very flexible and her joints are easy to use, so she can do these movements without much effort, but her direction is not quite right. When she pulls her lower leg in, her knee turns outward.

[Ding! Completed the onshore tutorial for the breaststroke kick. God-level swimming experience points +136!]

"Do it yourself on the shore."

Shen Xiaoting lay on the edge of the pool, practicing pull-ups, flips, kicks, and clamps.

The leg movements are not standard; the knees turn outwards when the legs are pulled in, and the toes are not turned in the correct position when the feet are turned.

Chen Hao helped her correct her posture, using one hand to pull her knees inward and the other hand to turn her feet outward.

"Very good! Do it five more times."

Shen Xiaoting did it over and over again, chanting "collect, flip, kick, clamp" in her little mouth.

By the fifth time, it was already quite good; the knees wouldn't splay outwards when pulling them in, and the feet could be turned into place properly.

"Tingting, get in the water, Daddy will guide you."

Chen Hao carried his daughter into the shallow end of the pool, letting her hold onto the edge and float on the surface.

He supported her belly with one hand to keep her body horizontal, and held her legs with the other.

"Collide, flip, kick, clamp."

Shen Xiaoting performed the following movements: gather, flip, kick, and clamp.

Water splashed up, and her body lurched forward a short distance, about half a meter.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Hao asked her.

"This is so much fun!" Shen Xiaoting laughed, water droplets glistening on her face.

"Try again. Pull in—flip—kick—clamp."

Shen Xiaoting did it again.

This time, I pushed off with more force, propelling my body forward by about a meter.

She loosened her grip on the edge of the pool, and her body floated on the surface of the water for a short distance without sinking.

"Tingting! Let go! You can float by yourself now!"

Shen Xiaoting looked down and realized that she really wasn't holding onto the edge of the pool. Her body was floating on the surface of the water, and her father's hand was supporting her from below, but his hand had definitely let go.

She panicked a little and flailed her arms and legs a few times. Chen Hao quickly supported her stomach and steadied her.

When viewers in the live stream saw Tingting float up on her own, the chat exploded!

"Tingting floated up on her own!"

"So fast? It's only been a dozen minutes and it's already floating? That's amazing!"

"Children learn to swim much faster than adults, they are not afraid of water, and they have good body coordination."

"The key is that the instructor teaches well, breaking down the movements step by step, unlike some coaches who just let the kids splash around in the water right away."

"Tingting is also very talented, learns movements quickly, and is very bold."

Gifts started floating across the screen, one after another—

[“Xiao Liu, a stay-at-home dad,” has donated 10 hearts!]

[“Mommy Loves Taking Care of Her Kids” gave away 5 lollipops!]

[Swimming coach A-Jie gave away two pairs of sunglasses!]

Chen Hao then taught Tingting the arm movements for the breaststroke.

First, teach on the shore: stretch both hands forward from your chest, palms together, fingers together, then paddle to the sides like rowing a boat, catch the water, pull your hands back, and stretch forward again.

He taught her step by step, and Shen Xiaoting followed along, learning the arm movements faster than her legs.

Go into the water, and do it with Tingting.

She lay on Chen Hao's arm, making paddling motions with her hands in coordination with her leg kicks.

Its body lurched and thrashed in the water, just like a little frog. Although its movements weren't quite perfect, it was already able to move forward.

Shen Xiaoting didn't want to get out of the water.

She stood in the shallow end, took a deep breath, kicked and paddled, and swam forward three or four meters. Then she touched the bottom of the pool, stood up, turned around to look at her father, her little face full of pride, and her mouth wide open.

"Dad! I swam this far!" She gestured with her hands, from one side to the other.

"Tingting is amazing! She swam this far on her first try at breaststroke!"

Shen Xiaoting swam again, this time swimming more than five meters, almost reaching the deep end.

She swam to the edge of the deep end, where her feet couldn't reach the bottom, but she wasn't afraid. She floated on the surface, kicking and paddling, and swam back to the shallow end without stopping.

[Ding! Completed full breaststroke coordination practice, God-level swimming experience points +148!]

The viewers in the live stream were stunned, and the chat was flooded with comments—

"Tingting learned it? It's only been less than an hour!"

"I haven't learned how to swim, I can swim now. My technique isn't perfect yet, but I don't sink anymore."

"Kids learn things so fast, even adults don't have that speed. It takes them several lessons to learn just the frog kick."

"The host taught so well. When I was learning to swim, the coach just let me splash around in the water. I splashed around for half a month and still couldn't learn."

The instructor's teaching method is very systematic, breaking down the movements, practicing on land, leading the practice in the water, and independent practice; each step is very clear.

"Tingting is also very talented, has good physical coordination, and is not afraid of water."

Gifts kept floating on the screen, and they became increasingly valuable—

[Swimming coach A-Jie is giving away 1 Carnival!]

[“Xiao Liu, the stay-at-home dad,” gave away a helicopter!]

[A mom who loves taking care of her child gave away a Porsche!]

Chen Hao checked the time; it had been almost an hour since he went into the water.

Tingting's lips are a little purple, and they will get cold if soaked in water for too long.

He looked at Tingting splashing in the water and called out, "Tingting, you've swum enough for today, it's time to come up."

Shen Xiaoting raised her head, her little face full of reluctance, and pouted, "No! I want to swim!"

"Swimming for too long will make you tired, and your lips have turned purple. You can swim again tomorrow." Chen Hao walked over and squatted down by the pool.

"Let's swim a little longer, just for a little while." Shen Xiaoting held up her finger, making a "just a little bit" gesture.

Chen Hao smiled, squatted down, and stretched out his hand:

"One minute. Dad will count to sixty, then he'll come up."

Shen Xiaoting thought for a moment, then nodded and said reluctantly, "Okay."

Chen Hao began to count.

Shen Xiaoting swam quickly in the water, kicking her legs out powerfully in the breaststroke, splashing water high and making a loud splashing sound in the pool.

She swam with extraordinary effort, as if she wanted to make that minute last an hour.

When she counted to sixty, she swam back to the shallow end, stood up, walked to the edge of the pool, and climbed out, soaking wet with water running down her legs.

Chen Hao wrapped his daughter up in a bath towel, covering her completely, leaving only her little head sticking out.

He used the corner of the towel to wipe her hair and then her face.

"Dad, let's go swimming again tomorrow," Shen Xiaoting said in a muffled voice, wrapped in a bath towel.

"Okay, let's go swimming again tomorrow." Chen Hao tightened his bath towel.

Shen Xiaoting, wrapped in a bath towel, sat on a folding chair by the pool. Her face was flushed from the sun, her eyes were half-open and half-closed, she looked a little tired, but the corners of her mouth were still turned up.

Chen Hao bent down and fished the toys out of the water.
