Why are you trying to steal her destiny? She's the little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect!

Film and Television City.

It was already past 7 p.m. when we finished filming.

The sky turned gray.

Thankfully it's not winter yet, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see them at all.

Xiao Jiu Jiu returned to the Qin family with her face covered in makeup.

"Hey, Aunt Ye!"

As soon as Xiao Jiu Jiu got off the bus, she saw Ye Xuan.

She smiled at Ye Xuan, then turned and waved to Chang Hongfeng: "Bye-bye, Sister Hongfeng."

"Well, I'll go first."

Chang Hongfeng drove away.

Ye Xuan got out of the car, said goodbye to Murong Youyi inside, and smiled at Xiao Jiu Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, why are you home so late today too?"

I remember your kindergarten lets out at three o'clock!

"Aunt Ye, you're still wearing makeup. I just signed a contract with the film crew today, and Sister Hongfeng brought me back." Xiao Jiujiu gave her a cute smile.

Ye Xuan held Xiao Jiu Jiu's little hand and said, "Now that we've both entered the entertainment industry, I wonder if your dad will blame us."

"I haven't said anything to you before, and I won't now." Xiao Jiu Jiu and Ye Xuan walked arm in arm, chatting as they went.

Xiao Jiujiu: "Aunt Ye, why did you suddenly come back? I remember you were supposed to be filming for a long time?"

"I just came back to get some warm clothes because we need to film in a colder place. This drama won't be easy to film."

"It just so happens that I came back to see you all." Ye Xuan reached out and patted Xiao Jiu Jiu's head.

Xiao Jiu Jiu said regretfully, "If you had said so earlier, I would have sent someone to bring Hao Hao back, so you could have seen him too."

"No need, it doesn't matter if he's not here." Ye Xuan is now busy with her career, and her focus is no longer on her son.

As the two walked towards the villa, Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask again, "Are you settling in well on set? How are you feeling?"

"It was a lot of fun. Everyone was very nice. I just filmed a scene today, and it went pretty well."

Xiao Jiu Jiu touched her face. "I'm wearing makeup, and I haven't taken it off yet."

"It's okay, Auntie will remove your makeup."

The two entered the villa. Ye Xuan greeted the housekeeper and took Xiao Jiu Jiu to the bathroom.

As she removed her makeup, she asked again, "Where did you film this? Was it shot on location?"

"I went to the film studio, where's Auntie?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu lay down on the shampoo table, and Ye Xuan squeezed out some makeup remover and gently rubbed it on her: "What a coincidence, I'm also at the film studio."

"Hehehe, I'm going again on Saturday, I have extra scenes to film." Xiao Jiu Jiu laughed.

On weekdays, we only film small scenes, while the main scenes are filmed together on Saturdays and Sundays.

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "It's a pity that Auntie is leaving for another place on Saturday, otherwise she could go with you."

"Hehe, it's okay, we'll meet again eventually!" Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled sweetly.

Ye Xuan quickly said, "Stop laughing, Auntie is going to wash your face. Turn your head and lie down, hold your breath."

"Uh-huh."

After washing her face, Ye Xuan wiped Xiao Jiu Jiu's face and asked, "Your makeup isn't too heavy today. Does it feel stuffy or uncomfortable?"

"It's alright. The director said I don't need much makeup because I have good skin. It's just that the clothes I'm wearing are a bit heavy."

Little Jiu Jiu answered Ye Xuan's question in a childish voice.

Ye Xuan laughed: "Of course it will be heavier. That's how period costumes are. To ensure accuracy, there are many layers and layers of clothing."

"Yeah, I think so too. To make it more realistic, we should wear more layers, otherwise it will look cheap." Xiao Jiu Jiu has been watching a lot of short dramas to learn from this lately.

Many of them are poorly made, focusing mainly on the storyline, with mediocre viewing experience and little investment.

Ye Xuan also inquired about Class 99.

Upon learning that it was a short drama, she exclaimed in surprise, "Such a good production team is being used for a short drama? It's a bit of a waste of the costumes, props, and sets."

Short dramas are only a few minutes long, so it's a bit of a waste to use such good equipment to make short dramas.

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled and said, "No, Brother Ye said that we can take pictures freely, mainly to present a better picture to everyone."

"Not bad!"

Ye Xuan chuckled softly.

As Xiao Jiu Jiu stepped out the door, the butler came to greet her.

"Miss Jiu, please wait a moment. There's something I need to tell you." The butler walked up to Xiao Jiu Jiu and explained that Lu Yi had come by.

Nodding, Xiao Jiujiu said, "Okay, I'll go check on the hot pot in the animal room first. Auntie, you can go downstairs now."

"What hot pot?" Ye Xuan asked, puzzled. "Do you want to eat hot pot? We can have it tonight."

Xiao Jiu Jiu shook her head: "No, it's my friend's dog named Hotpot."

After going upstairs, Xiao Jiu Jiu went to the innermost room.

There wasn't originally an animal house, but ever since Cream arrived, the Qin family has prepared one.

Butter and Coal Ball usually sleep in Little Nine-Nine's room.

Upon opening the animal room, Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up: "Hot pot!"

The animal enclosure is covered with mats, the kind that are easy to wipe clean.

Hotpot lay by the balcony door, Coal Ball sat on its golden head, and Cream lay in its nest, wagging its tail.

Upon hearing Xiao Jiu Jiu's voice, all three turned around.

[Xiao Jiu, you're back!]

[Yay, Xiao Jiu is back!]

Hey little one, long time no see!

The three pounced on Xiao Jiu Jiu.

Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly closed the door.

Cream ran up to Xiao Jiu and stopped, wagging its tail: "Xiao Jiu, did you have fun at school today?"

[What kind of question is that, little one? Starting today, I can play with you!] Hotpot gave a big smile that was incredibly heartwarming.

Of the three, only Coal Ball sat atop Hotpot's fluffy head, looking distressed and resentful: "Hurry up and drag those two dogs away!"

"What's wrong, Coal Ball?" Little Jiu Jiu picked up Coal Ball and looked at it with a smile.

Coal Ball rolled its eyes and swatted away the hotpot that was reaching for it with its paw with its tail: [This stupid dog, I don't know what's wrong with it, it keeps trying to lick me, is it sick?!]

Little Jiu Jiu sat down in front of the hotpot with a puzzled look and patted its head: [Hotpot, why do you keep licking coal?]

【I don’t know, I feel like it smells like our sickly dog, but you seem to smell even more like it!】 Hotpot nestled in Xiao Jiu Jiu’s arms, its big head almost too big for Xiao Jiu Jiu to hold.

The hotpot rubbed against itself, and it even tried to stick out its tongue to lick Xiao Jiu Jiu's face.

[How dare you!]

"Snapped!"

Coal Ball landed a flurry of Meow Meow Punches right on Hot Pot's face.

[Get away! Don't lick Xiao Jiu! It's disgusting! It tastes like your saliva! I'm going to take a shower today!]

The hotpot cried out: [Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I was wrong, I'll never do it again!]

The coal ball snorted: "Get lost!"

Now, the hotpot could only slink back to its nest with its tail between its legs.

Xiao Jiujiu glanced at the room and said, "Huh? Why are there so many bags of dog food in the house?"

"They were all sent by his family, who also gave money to the housekeeper, saying they were asking him to take care of this guy," Coal Ball explained from the side.

Xiao Jiu Jiu got up and squatted down next to the hotpot: "Hey, hotpot, do you know what's wrong with Brother Lu Li?"

[I don't know, I just saw the sickly guy vomiting blood that day, and then they moved him away.] I don't know much about hotpot.

It only had time to see that before it was sent away.

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Okay, welcome hot pot to our team!"

She stretched out her little hand, and the hotpot placed a big paw on it.

After shaking hands, Xiao Jiu Jiu stood up and said, "I'm going downstairs to eat. Have you eaten yet? I'll have the housekeeper bring it up for you."

"It's okay, they all have self-service dining machines now." Coal Ball jumped up and snuggled into Little Nine's arms.

Little Nine-Nine: "And what about you, Coal Ball?"

"I'm going downstairs, someone will make me special cat food." Coal Ball leaned against Little Nine-Nine, looking quite satisfied.

Cream paused on the self-service dog feeder: [I have my own special dog food! I won't eat this.]

Seeing that none of them were eating, Hotpot also cried out: "I'm not eating either, I'm not eating either, I'm going to eat dog food!"

Little Nine-Nine: ...

Once downstairs, the housekeeper immediately had the three animals fed before setting the hot dishes on the table.

"Miss Jiu, Mr. Qin will be back soon. Would you like to take a seat?" The butler asked as he approached Xiao Jiu.

Shaking her head, Xiao Jiujiu said, "No need, let's wait for Dad to come back. I'll go upstairs and take a shower first, it'll be super quick!"

In less than ten minutes, Xiao Jiu Jiu changed into her pajamas and met Ye Xuan at the door.

Downstairs, Qin Yuyang and Qin Xin were already at the dining table, and even the busy Qin Yuhai had returned.

Qin Yuyang and Qin Yuhai were both handling their own affairs, making phone calls.

Qin Xin, on the other hand, obediently held the tablet and looked at it without saying a word.

"Xiao Jiu!" Qin Yuhai spotted Xiao Jiu Jiu first and greeted her with a smile.

Little Jiu Jiu came downstairs with a smile: "Dad, Uncle."

"Ah."

Qin Yuyang nodded slightly, and Ye Xuan sat down next to him: "Have you missed me these past few days?"

"no!"

Qin Yuyang replied coldly, continuing to look at his phone: "Have all the dishes been served? Get your rice."

"Yes, Mr. Qin."

The family had a meal together, and it went quite harmoniously.

After dinner, Qin Xin took her medical examination form to Qin Yuyang and timidly handed it to him, saying, "Dad, this is a medical examination form issued by the school. You need to sign it."

"When is the physical exam?" Qin Yuyang asked casually.

Qin Xin said, "This Friday, my sister is going too."

"Ah."

Qin Yuyang took the medical examination form, signed his name where the parents should sign, and didn't even look at the contents.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu Jiu suddenly remembered that her medical examination form also required her parents' signature.

She ran upstairs, found the medical examination form, and came running back down excitedly: "Dad, I need to sign mine too."

Qin Yuyang took it and quickly signed it.

Instead, Qin Yuhai took Xiao Jiujiu's medical examination form and glanced at it: "Blood test?"

"Blood tests are a must for physical exams, what's so strange about that?"

Ye Xuan replied, puzzled, "I need to have my blood drawn for a physical exam too."

Qin Yuhai frowned, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Could it be that someone from over there made the move?

Xiao Jiujiu looked at the items on the medical examination form and shrugged: "It's okay. If it were them, they would have a thousand ways to do it."

"Hmm." Qin Yuhai nodded, his eyes slightly cold.

Qin Yuyang had questions, but he didn't ask them.

Ye Xuan looked puzzled and asked, "What are you two talking about? Are you playing riddles?"

"No!" they both said in unison.

Qin Yuyang frowned but didn't say anything.

Looking at Xiao Jiu Jiu's medical examination form, he felt it was like a meticulously designed trap, waiting for Xiao Jiu Jiu to jump into it.

Little Jiu Jiu yawned: "Dad, hurry up and sign it, we need to give it to the teacher tomorrow!"

"Ah."

Qin Yuyang looked into Xiao Jiujiu's clear eyes, sighed, and signed the medical examination form.

After receiving the signed medical examination form, Xiao Jiu Jiu and Qin Xin exchanged a glance and both smiled.

"Are you satisfied now?" Qin Yuyang chuckled helplessly.

Little Jiu Jiu nodded: "Satisfied, thank you Dad!"

Qin Yuyang looked at Ye Xuan beside him: "Why did you come back today? You didn't even tell me beforehand."

"I just came back to see you all. I'm planning to film in a more demanding location," Ye Xuan explained her plans.

Qin Yuyang froze for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand."

"Honey, are you coming to visit the set?" Ye Xuan asked Qin Yuyang with a light smile.

Qin Yuyang replied curtly, "What's so interesting about it? I'm not going."

"I've sent you my address. You can come see me when you have time!" Ye Xuan didn't care what he was thinking and gave him the address directly.

Xiao Jiujiu and the others exchanged a glance, both seeing smiles in each other's eyes.

The three of them quietly left, leaving the two of them alone.

Friday arrived quickly.

Xiao Jiu Jiu and Qin Xin went back to school to queue up early in the morning without even having breakfast.

They had their blood drawn first before they ate breakfast.

Xiao Jiu Jiu didn't feel anything unusual when her blood was drawn. She had seen the person and felt there was nothing wrong.

"Ouch, this hurts so much!" Qin Xin looked down and exclaimed in shock, "Sister, my arm is swollen!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly grabbed Qin Xin's arm and then noticed the bluish-purple veins on her elbow.

"Teacher, teacher!" Little Jiu Jiu quickly called out to the teacher.

After the doctor's examination, the other party said, "It's just that the timing of the pressure was wrong, and the nurse's technique was not good, which caused the capillaries to rupture. It's a minor problem."

"Waaaaah, am I going to die?" Qin Xin couldn't help but cry, feeling like she had no way out.

doctor:?

The kids are so cute.

"You won't die, don't worry," the teacher quickly reassured her.

Xiao Jiu Jiu, standing next to her, was both amused and exasperated: "It's okay, the doctor said it's a minor issue."

Qin Xin sniffed and pointed pitifully at her elbow: "Waaah, it hurts so much!"

Just then, an even louder wail came from the side: "Waaah! It hurts so much! I'm not pretty anymore!"

Everyone's eyes turned to look at it.

It's Qingqing from the next class.

Qingqing's elbow was also swollen, and she cried even more bitterly than Qin Xin: "I want to go home! You're bullying me! I don't want to go to school anymore, it hurts so much!"

Qingqing's crying was so loud that many children covered their mouths and chuckled, saying, "She's not as brave as me!"

"Coward, you're even afraid of getting your blood drawn!"

"I am Ultraman, I am not afraid!"

Qingqing cried so much that Qin Xin felt embarrassed to cry herself.

Qingqing was initially upset, thinking everyone would comfort her, but instead, she was ridiculed by her classmates, making her feel even more aggrieved as she lowered her head.

Seeing that Qin Xin was embarrassed and started to cry, Xiao Jiu Jiu gave her a tissue: "Wipe your tears, let's go do other physical examinations."

"Mm." Qin Xin nodded.

After the minor hiccup, the subsequent physical examinations went smoothly.

It was all done in one morning.

The school then took the opportunity to notify everyone that there would be no classes in the afternoon.

Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly went to Director Song's place to film.

"We're planning to change locations tomorrow, so let's go back and prepare tonight," Director Song said to Chang Hongfeng.

Chang Hongfeng nodded: "Okay."

Director Song smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Xiao Jiujiu, who was performing well on camera.

Hopefully, the filming will go as smoothly as it did tomorrow...
