Chapter 195: Baba Is A Cutie.Leo sat behind Lily, wearing an over-sized pink shirt, that belonged to Snow, but she had yet to try it. This was one of those clothes that could be worn by anyone regardless the gender. The young man watched his daughter start the streaming and then he saw the viewers pour in. They were all mollycoddling Lily and calling her cute, to which this little goblin put out a bright smile and earned a wave of gifts. She said, "Today, we are going to inspect the flowers we made last time and place them into the Klin. So, I will now take you to see my Baba, who is also looking very cute. However, no aunty is allowed to flirt with him or I will be angry." She fluffed her cheeks and pouted at the people. Then Lily turned the camera to point at Leo and she asked while standing beside him, "Baba, is it all fine?" Leo lift the paper and then inspected the flowers carefully before he nodded and said, "Yes, It is all fine, we can go ahead and bake them." Lily clapped and said, "Yes, I want to see how Aunty will react." Leo smiled and looking at the camera he said, "Hello, everyone, how you have been doing fine." He answered a few questions when suddenly, someone posted, "Mister Cardinal, is it true that you and Lily were invited to the President’s palace for the award ceremony?" Leo nodded and said, "Yes, they gave us a White Sigil Award." The people were surprised, and then another person posted a link as she commented, "I saw it, I checked, it is true. Mister Cardinal and Lily were there, see, they have an entire post dedicated to them, and not only that, there is a video link as well. The two of them played piano together. It is so nice." For a second Leo and Lily saw the chat turn silent and then it erupted once again. The people had returned and they were praising Lily’s skills in music and how Leo was also good. They didn’t expect that young man to be able to play such high level piano. One amongst these people said, "I used to think that such talented people existed in novels only." Another viewer replied, "Yo, upstairs, believe me, most of the people in the world of novels are useless as well, like us. We cannot tell what is the difference between sugar and salt without tasting it." The people began to give out comments, and then they began to interact on the things that happened inside the hall. Leo gave them the answers while Lily handled the camera with an expert level skill, as the young man moved the art to the klin. The process was finished very quickly, and then the audience demanded they played a piano song for them before going offline. Thinking about this, Leo looked at Lily who nodded, and the young man sighed with a smile on his face, and they moved to the living room where the piano was placed. All the ladies had come back home, and Lily quickly moved the gimbal in her hand to point at Snow, and said, "Ma, look Baba is wearing matching clothes with me." Snow looked at Leo and her eyes opened wide as she said, "Oh god he looks so adorable. Honey, come here." Then Snow walked over to Leo and despite his quick reflexes the man could not make a move and Snow just held his face and kissed his lips gently as she said, "I will get you a pink shirt for work." Leo looked up at the ceiling and said, "Someone, please save me." Lily chuckled and looking at the camera she asked, "How about we have my Ma and Baba play a song together on the piano?" The chat erupted once more, and Leo’s popularity grew. Leo sighed and looked at Snow who gave him a thumbs up as they both moved to the stool. Snow looked into the camera as she sat on Leo’s right hand side and said, "Hello everyone, this is the first time we are meeting. So allow me to introduce myself, I am Snow Cardinal. Thank you for looking after my family and blessing them with your love." Lily smiled and then said, "On my que, ready?" The two elders saluted her and placed their hands on their thighs and Lily said, "One, two, three!" Leo began to play chords and Snow decided to take the complimenting notes. They both had not planned what they wanted to do, but Leo accommodated his movements to Snow’s pace perfectly. Gradually the level of the performance rose, and from a partnership it became a battle. Lily opened her eyes wide and looked at Anastasia who smiled and whispered, "Did you think they are a happy couple that does not compete with each other?" Lily nodded and the old lady chuckled as she pinched the former’s cheeks and said, "They are individuals and have different ideas. Snow doesn’t like when Leo pulls back because of her. While for Leo, he wishes to pull Snow higher and thus pushes her into a corner where she retaliates and they play a complicated game of growing better with each other." Lily sighed and said, "I see, thank god my parents are not a toxic couple." Fragrance asked, "What do you mean by that?" Lily replied, "I don’t know, I just heard someone in class saying that their parents are toxic." Fragrance and Anastasia chuckled and they shook their heads. After a few minutes, the performance ended, and the streaming came to an end. Leo and Snow were catching their breath when Lily chuckled looking at the phone screen and said, "See, I told you if you dress cute the people will come." Leo didn’t reply, but Fragrance hopped over Lily’s shoulder and said, "You gained ten thousand subscribers? Are you kidding me?" Snow opened her eyes wide and said, "I had no idea it was so easy. We can stop working and focus on streaming." Leo rolled his eyes and said, "I would have to turn off the monetization. I cannot have Lily show up on the stream and earn money. Someone might file a case against me." Fragrance nodded and replied, "Child labor would be non bailable." Leo took the phone and then he instructed Elvin Stein in the Yulu office to return the gifts that he has received and also turned off the monetization on all of his videos. The family had a meal and they were watching the news channel when they suddenly heard a special presentation. "Folks, welcome to the prime time. Till now we have told you about the important and significant events from all over the world, and while it may sound a little exaggerated, but we wanted to share this piece of information with you. Yesterday, Mister President, awarded the hundredth SIGIL award in the record of the country’s history from the day it has been founded. The Sigil award was given to Mister Leo Cardinal...." The presenter said nice things about Leo before she quickly switched over to Lily, the footage of the two playing the piano was broadcasted, and how Lily accepted the gift from the President was also there in the footage. The broadcaster said, "It has been a very long time since a civilian has won the Family Sigil. From the footages we received, we all are hoping that the future generation of the family are the same as the present one." The presentation came to an end, and Lily sighed as she scratched the back of her head, and Fragrance asked, "What happened, Sweetie?" Lily thought and said, "Well, Aunty, I was thinking if I have caused trouble for Baba again." Leo was surprised and then he realized what she was talking about so he said, "No, you have not made any trouble. The people who wish to harm us would come at us without you being in the limelight. On the contrary, my love, your skills have won us a lot of things, such as the military contract and the appreciation of the people. If anyone even wants to attack us, they would have to think twice because you have become a star. Anyone who tries to harm a star is a villian hated by the people. So, don’t worry, it is all under control." Lily still felt a bit sad so, she leaned in Fragrances arms, and Leo felt hurt looking at her like this. He stood up and walked to the side, and said, "Frag, do you remember the song mom taught you the first time we met?" Fragrance suddenly looked at him and understanding his intention she chuckled and asked, "You want to do that? Are you serious?" Leo shrugged and said, "Well, my daughter has dressed me so cutely so I thought why not? Mom would like it." Fragrance nodded and she said, "Little boy loves to eat candy, he wears a pink shirt and dances with his daddy. Ma would go to shop, the little boy would hop. He would come back smiling, with his teeth turning pink and his eyes shining." Leo danced to the strange song that his mother used to sing, and Lily watched with shock, even Snow and Anastasia were shocked. Lily suddenly dashed over to Leo’s side as soon as he finished dancing and she said, "We must never let others know that Baba is so cute, or people will rob him." Leo managed to make her happy, but the cost, probably losing the regal charm he had forever.
