The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

The profound words reached his ears, and when Qiong Xiaoqi turned around, he saw his brother's departing figure. He gritted his teeth, shook his head sharply, and continued walking forward, "If they won't help, then they won't help. I won't swallow this insult. Even if there's only one beast, I'll teach them a lesson!"

He quickly hid not far from the three brothers.

On the lush green grass, three Pixiu were each holding a lunchbox and eating heartily. The aroma of the food wafted through the air and was carried by the wind to Qiong Xiaoqi.

"Grumpy"

His stomach growled involuntarily, and he swallowed hard before realizing he hadn't had lunch yet.

"Is the little brother hungry?" A ghostly voice suddenly came from behind, and Qiong Xiaoqi was so frightened that he turned around abruptly.

The white cat, the production manager in the crew, was squinting at him.

"Who the hell are you? What are you doing here all of a sudden? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you! Believe me, I can bite you to death in one bite!"

"Hey, hey, don't get excited. Shh, be careful you don't get caught." Fei Fei pressed down her paws and made a shushing gesture.

Qiong Xiaoqi suddenly covered his mouth and subconsciously looked back. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the three Pixiu had not noticed him.

"Hey, who are you? Why did you suddenly appear behind me? What are you trying to do? A sneak attack? Let me tell you..."

"Alright, alright, alright." Feifei quickly interrupted the chatterbox, "I'm here to inspect the surveillance, just like you."

Despite having recently been reprimanded and even hung on a tree as a sacrifice, she, being a plush toy enthusiast, was still unwilling to give up. But putting that aside for now, this guy in front of her... seemed to harbor ill will towards the Pixiu family she had been craving for so long.

"You're also on surveillance? You have a grudge against them? That's not right, I've never heard of that..." As Qiong Xiaoqi was speaking, his stomach suddenly growled twice, and he froze, instinctively clutching his abdomen in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Feifei's eyes lit up and she chuckled, "Are you hungry? I have two boxed lunches left, do you want some?" She noticed that this little beast still retained her charm.

"Uh, alright, since you're quite sensible, I'll reluctantly accept it," Qiong Xiaoqi was genuinely hungry, and after a moment of arrogance, he agreed, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

The scene changes...

"I don't know what's wrong with Qiong Xiaoqi, but I feel like he's becoming more and more like a cannon fodder villain..." Taotie complained to Xiaotao about all of Qiong Xiaoqi's faults.

Suddenly, a loud "whoosh" startled both beasts. They turned around and saw the very person they had been criticizing, Qiong Xiaoqi, running back with disheveled fur and tears streaming down his face, looking just like a wayward girl.

"Ooooooo?"

"Brother, what's wrong?!"

"I...I'm not clean anymore, waaaaaah!" Poor Little Qi's tears streamed down his face. Only when the other two beasts got closer could they see that not only was his fur messy, but it was also somewhat damp, clearly showing signs of being sucked.

Taotie hesitated for a moment, then finally blurted out, "You...you were... ruined?"

He's definitely a villain, but I never expected a cannon fodder villain in a female-oriented story to have this kind of plot.

……

Back to the Pixiu brothers, the afternoon's filming involved the scene where Qiongqi and Taotie encounter Taotie, which had nothing to do with them. After lunch, the three brothers packed up and went to school.

Back in the familiar classroom, Walnut saw them arrive and asked curiously, "How are those two bad guys doing on set, muah?"

Bai Jie recalled the miserable state of Qiong Xiaoqi and Tao Xiaowu and answered seriously, "Except for Xiao Taotao, they were all pretty miserable."

The afternoon passed uneventfully. When school was over, the three brothers went outside and found Shi Yu and Er Qilin waiting for them at the door.

"Father and Mother, you've come to pick us up?" Bai Jie was both surprised and delighted.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, you must have missed your sons. Here, your father brought you some delicious food!" Shi Qilin said with a smile, taking out the gold and jade.

Tianlu's eyes lit up instantly. "Father, Mother, I miss you too!" He called out in such a sweet voice, fully demonstrating his characteristic of considering anyone who has food as his father or mother.

Bai Jie and Bi Xie were already used to his shameless personality. After boarding the auspicious cloud of the two Qilin, Bai Jie ran to snatch the gold and jade from Tian Lu, while Bi Xie stayed quietly and showed no intention of competing with his younger brother for food.

"Shall we eat at Father and Mother's house today?" Jade Qilin's gentle voice came. Bixie paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, Mother."

The family returned to Qilin Cave. Baijie and Tianlu went to do their homework with miserable faces, while Bixie and Yuqilin went to the kitchen to cook. Shiqilin returned to his room, his expression changed, and then he took out his phone and made a call.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Si Bu Xiang's phone suddenly rang as he was about to rest after filming an advertisement.

"Beep beep!"

"Who is it? Father?"

He was lounging lazily on the sofa when he suddenly sat up in surprise upon seeing the incoming call on the screen and answered the phone.

"Eldest son! I brought the three younger brothers you took a liking to home for dinner today. I'll video call them in a bit, and you can have a good chat with them." Shi Qilin's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this, Si Bu Xiang hurriedly interrupted, "Wait, wait a minute, Dad! What do you mean, 'take a liking'? What nonsense are you talking about! And why the sudden video call?!"

"How dare you say that!" The First Qilin was furious at the mention of this. "You went to work as soon as the New Year was over! I asked, and none of the three little Pixiu have received any news from you. You should take the initiative, eldest son!"

"What are you talking about?!" The Four-Faced Beast blushed. "They're my brothers!"

"It's alright, eldest son. Your parents don't ask for much anymore. We just want you to find a companion. Your younger siblings are all in pairs, and you're all alone. Your parents are worried."

The Qilin tried to persuade him earnestly, but the Qilin on the other side was completely numb, its face turned red to the roots of its ears, and steam was rising from its head.

Finally, under the threat of his father's nagging and even crying if he didn't agree, he had no choice but to agree in shame.

As soon as Shi Qilin hung up the phone, Si Bu Xiang collapsed onto the sofa, burying his flushed face in a cushion.

"Aaaaaah! What am I going to do?! I need to get closer to my three younger brothers, but what should I talk about?! Father is just making things difficult for me!"

He clutched a cushion, screaming and writhing on the sofa before finally collapsing onto it, his eyes vacant.

A moment later... he rolled over again, "No, no, I have to think of something. Otherwise, the whole conversation will be too awkward, and Dad will definitely cry to me afterwards!"

The four-legged creature paced back and forth, its face serious, its hooves clattering rapidly as it landed. A minute later, its expression faltered, and it threw itself back onto the sofa, crawling in a dark, twisted manner.

"There's just no way to do it!!"

At the living room door, the agent raised his hand to knock, then lowered it again, looking hesitant. He wanted to say something like, "There's a dinner party waiting for you that evening," but seeing the man's erratic behavior inside, it seemed inappropriate to say that.

"That's it! I can search online!" Si Bu Xiang, who was on his deathbed, suddenly sat up, grabbed his phone, and opened the browser.

The agent outside the door sighed upon seeing this, silently sent a message to cancel the dinner invitation, and also left a message for Si Bu Xiang.

Agent: [It's okay to be abstract at home, but be careful. Don't let your image among fans crumble.]

Inside the living room, the Four-Faced Beast, unaware that its erratic behavior had been discovered, was still browsing the internet, its browser displaying search results.

How can I build a closer relationship with my younger brother?

Staring at that line of text, he hesitated to click confirm. After a long while, he blushed and muttered to himself, "It was all my father's fault for forcing me to do this."

After saying that, he changed his search query to: [How to win over my brother?]

The scene shifts back to the Qilin Cave, where the three brothers' favorite gold and silver treasures, as well as chicken stew with mushrooms and the Qilin's favorite cloud dew, are all laid out on the table.

Shi Qilin looked around, coughed, and said, "Ahem, it's been a long time since I've seen my eldest son. I miss him a bit. Shall we give him a call?"

"it is good."

"Uh-huh."

"what?"

Bixie nodded in agreement. Tianlu buried his head in his rice and mumbled a couple of "uh-huhs." Baijie was the worst; he had earphones on and didn't hear clearly, so he looked up and exclaimed "Ah!"

Shi Qilin's lips twitched, instantly realizing that his eldest son's status in the hearts of the little Pixiu was still insufficient. He simply stopped asking and immediately took out his phone to make a video call.

"Beep beep, ding!"

The phone was answered after only two rings, and a strange face appeared on the screen.

"Eldest son, your father misses you so much! How have you been lately?"

"How are you doing in the big city, Sibuxiang? How's Yunlu? Should I send you some? Are you tired?"

Although the initial intention was to help their son get closer to the Pixiu, the two elders couldn't help but show concern as soon as the call connected, especially for Yu Qilin, who hadn't had a chance to participate in previous phone calls, but now showed all sorts of concern and care.

After frantically dealing with his parents, Sibuxiang finally had a chance to greet his three brothers.

"Plum blossoms, sun, and blue circle, hello! It's been so long, I've missed you all a little... a little."
