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

Shen Xiaoting stood outside the yard, looking up as her father climbed onto the roof step by step. The expression on her little face changed from curiosity to tension.

She clutched the plush rabbit's ears, her knuckles turning white, her lips pressed tightly together.

"Dad...be careful..." Her voice was soft, filled with obvious worry.

Chen Hao climbed onto the roof, stepped onto the rafters, and tested the weight-bearing capacity beneath his feet.

The rafters made a creaking sound, but did not break.

He carefully moved his feet to the highest point of the roof, squatted down, and began to remove the tiles.

He first used his hands to peel off the tiles that could still be picked up, one by one, and handed them to Chen Bingzhong, who was standing on the ladder.

Chen Bingzhong took it and placed it on the open ground.

Most of the tiles were already crumbling and would break at the slightest touch; less than a third remained intact.

[Ding! Roof tile removal completed. God-level tile setter experience points +132!]

Shen Xiaoting looked up at her father squatting on the roof, removing the tiles one by one. The wind blew dust down, and she squinted, but didn't look away, still looking up at him.

"Dad, be careful!" she called out again, her voice a little louder than before.

Chen Hao looked down at his daughter and smiled, "Daddy's being careful, Tingting, don't worry."

Viewers in the live stream also saw this, and the chat section exploded with comments—

"Tingting is such a good girl, she's been worried about her dad the whole time."

"Your face is so tense, it breaks my heart."

"Please be careful, anchor, don't worry your daughter."

"This roof is really dilapidated; we need to be careful when dismantling it."

Chen Hao ignored the system prompts and continued dismantling the tiles.

After the roof tiles were removed, the roofing panels underneath were revealed.

Most of the wooden planks were rotten, black in color, and crumbled when pressed.

He used a crowbar to pry the pieces off one by one and threw them on the ground.

Chen Bingzhong was responsible for picking up the broken wooden planks and piling them up at a distance.

Then came the rafters.

The rafters are nailed to the purlins, one by one, with a spacing of about thirty centimeters.

He used a crowbar to pry between the rafter and the purlin, and with a strong pry, the rafter came loose with a "crack," which he pulled out and threw off the roof.

[Ding! Constitution enhancement effect triggered - Constitution +0.1, current Constitution: 14.2.]

One, two, three...

He dismantled more than a dozen rafters in one go, and beads of sweat slid down his face, dripping onto the dust on the roof and creating small dents.

But his movements didn't slow down at all; on the contrary, they became more and more agile.

Chen Bingzhong looked up at his son from below, his expression changing from worry to surprise.

His son had been working on the roof for almost an hour without taking a break. He was moving very quickly and didn't seem tired at all.

"Ah Hao, take a break!" he called out.

"Not tired!" Chen Hao replied, continuing to dismantle the machine.

After the rafters were removed, what remained were the purlins and the main beam.

The purlins are horizontal beams that are laid on the gable walls and main beams. There are six purlins in total, each about three meters long.

He used a crowbar to pry the purlins out of the grooves in the gable wall and pushed them down one by one.

The purlin made a dull "thud" when it fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

[Ding! Constitution enhancement effect triggered - Constitution +0.1, current Constitution: 14.3.]

The last one is the main beam.

The main beam is a pine log about 25 centimeters in diameter, spanning the entire hall, with its ends resting on the gable walls on both sides.

He inspected the grooves in the gable wall—the brick structure was intact, without cracks or loosening.

Using a crowbar and rope, he slowly pried the main beam out of the groove, then loosened the rope, allowing it to slide smoothly to the ground.

"Boom—" The main beam landed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Shen Xiaoting coughed twice from the dust and took two steps back, but her eyes never left her father.

She saw her father standing on the roof, with the blue sky behind him, his T-shirt soaked with sweat and clinging to his body.

Her eyes reddened slightly, but she didn't cry; she just shouted out loud—

"Daddy is so amazing!!!"

Chen Hao stood on the roof, heard his daughter's voice, looked down at her, and smiled.

His face was covered in sweat and dust, with streaks of white marks left by the sweat, but his smile was bright and warm.

When viewers in the live stream saw this, the chat area was immediately flooded with comments.

"This scene is absolutely stunning!"

"The streamer single-handedly dismantled the entire roof! All by himself!"

"The key is that she's been working for almost two hours and doesn't seem tired at all. Her stamina is amazing!"

"I've worked on construction sites, and the kind of work like demolishing roofs is something that two workers can't finish in a day, even if it takes one anchor two hours."

"The anchor's physique is really strong. It's not the kind of dead muscle built up in the gym. It's real physical strength from working."

"My nose tingled when Tingting shouted 'Daddy is so amazing'."

Gifts started floating across the screen again: hearts, lollipops, sunglasses, bunny ears, heart gestures, confetti cannons, hot air balloons—one after another, the special effects filling the entire screen.

Chen Hao came down from the roof, untied the safety rope from his waist, coiled the rope, and placed it next to his tool bag.

His T-shirt was soaked and stuck to his body, and his hair was wet, clinging to his forehead in clumps.

But his breathing was steady and his heartbeat was normal; he didn't look like someone who had just done two hours of heavy physical labor.
