You Huai's mother rarely returns today. She opened the door and quietly looked at Yuan Wang and the other two. Her gentle eyes were like spring water. She gently touched the heads of You Huai and Long Xiaoxiao, and finally looked at You Huai and said, "Happy birthday."

You Huai's expression faltered slightly, and he nodded somewhat awkwardly, giving a muffled "hmm."

He had little experience with his mother and was closer to the family's nanny than to her.

Yuan Wang, being sensible, didn't say much, only exchanged a few pleasantries before taking Long Xiaoxiao home.

**

After her birthday, Long Xiaoxiao continued to go to the film set every day. She didn't have many scenes left, but her enthusiasm was high, and many staff members in the crew had a good relationship with her, so Yuan Wang still had his secretary pick her up and drop her off at the film set.

Luo Zongshan has been blacklisted, so the production team had to replace him with a new male lead, which really worried Song Xing. He is very particular about the temperament of his actors, and he believes that there are very few actors who are just right. Now that Luo Zongshan is gone, he can't find a replacement for him for the time being.

Luo Zongshan has a lot of scenes in the play, so Song Xing had to postpone filming those scenes and then try to find a replacement from the male actors he had worked with before.

After thinking about the previously filmed parts for a while, Song Xing decided not to reshoot them. He would simply replace the parts where the face appeared with the new actor's face.

After returning to the film crew, Long Xiaoxiao noticed something unusual. First, Song Xing seemed to be very busy lately, and she couldn't see him all day. Second, the staff seemed to have stopped mentioning Luo Zongshan's name for a long time.

"Sister, isn't Luo Zongshan coming back?" Long Xiaoxiao asked the makeup artist who was doing her makeup, tilting her head with a puzzled tone.

Long Xiaoxiao was unaware of the previous online arguments, only vaguely knowing that a large number of people suddenly liked her, but she didn't delve into the specifics of what had happened.

The makeup artist paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well... he's not coming back. He has other work."

Paying off debts can be considered work, right? The makeup artist pondered.

Long Xiaoxiao nodded obediently: "Oh."

If he's not coming back, he's not coming back, Long Xiaoxiao thought, feeling a little relieved.

If he comes back, he'll bully her again.

Long Xiaoxiao had very few scenes to film today, so she finished work early. She was playing Go with her staff when her secretary leaned over and whispered that it was time for her to go home. Only then did she reluctantly wave goodbye and prepare to leave.

The secretary helped Long Xiaoxiao into the car, and then took out her phone to send a message to Yuan Wang. After receiving Yuan Wang's reply, she turned to Long Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, Mr. Yuan hasn't left work yet. Would you like to go home first or go to the company?"

Long Xiaoxiao thought for a few seconds: "What day of the week is it today?"

You Huai taught Long Xiaoxiao the concept of the week. Long Xiaoxiao had gone home early to go play with You Huai, but was told that he would stay at kindergarten from Monday to Friday until he went home in the afternoon. Only then did Long Xiaoxiao understand what the weekend was.

The magical world also has similar cycles, but Long Xiaoxiao, who doesn't have to go to school or work, is completely unaware of this.

The secretary replied, "Saturday."

Long Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Then let's go home! Let's go find You Huai to play!"

Having playmates is always a joy, and Long Xiaoxiao immediately put aside her earlier slight disappointment, looking forward to the surprise she would give You Huai when she suddenly appeared in front of him.

The secretary drove Long Xiaoxiao all the way home, and only after seeing Long Xiaoxiao off did she prepare to park in the garage.

The secretary wanted to take Long Xiaoxiao directly to her room, but Long Xiaoxiao refused, wanting to go find You Huai first.

The car drove away, leaving behind exhaust fumes. Long Xiaoxiao stood there, just about to walk towards You Huai's house, when she heard a soft meow.

"Meow..."

It sounded a little weak, like a kitten.

Long Xiaoxiao immediately stopped and listened for a while before decisively walking towards the direction of the cat's meow.

Was the kitten hurt? Long Xiaoxiao's mind raced, and she quickened her pace.

As Long Xiaoxiao approached, the cat's meows seemed to grow more and more mournful. The meows were so close yet she couldn't find the kitten. Long Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She twitched her nose, as if trying to find the kitten's scent in the air.

But found nothing.

The system, which had been engrossed in watching various educational videos, suddenly turned its attention to Long Xiaoxiao's movements. Seeing her standing in an unfamiliar alley, it immediately asked in confusion, "Where is this? Why aren't you home?"

Long Xiaoxiao kept walking, but when she heard the system's question, she still answered honestly, "A kitten is crying."

kitten?

The system sensed something was wrong. The neighborhood where Yuan Wang and his friends lived had always been very safe and secure. There were hardly any cats, let alone mosquitoes. So why were stray cats suddenly appearing?

Besides, it's winter now, how could kittens be born in this season?

The system quickly began scanning the surrounding environment, and upon seeing the results, it immediately became alarmed.

"Hurry up, go home!" the system commanded. "Little one, go home!"

Long Xiaoxiao didn't know why the system's tone suddenly became so serious, but after pausing, she obediently turned around and tried to go back the way she came, her tone still a little aggrieved: "The kitten is crying."

The system, seeing Luo Zongshan with a kitchen knife and a large group of burly men hiding at the corner not far away, nervously reminded Long Xiaoxiao: "The cat is fake. Someone wants to bully you. Don't worry about it, just run away."

Two fists can't beat four hands. Even if Long Xiaoxiao is incredibly strong, she can't withstand the number of people that Luo Zongshan brought, and each of them is carrying a sharp weapon.

Upon hearing the system's words, Long Xiaoxiao quickly sped up and ran towards home.

At that moment, Luo Zongshan, who was nervously watching Long Xiaoxiao, immediately noticed her intention. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, made a gesture to the burly men beside him, and then led the way to rush out.

These burly men were hired by him at a high price; they were all money-grubbing types who would do anything for a good price. Now they were all following him and running towards Long Xiaoxiao.

Long Xiaoxiao had keen hearing and immediately sensed something was wrong. She instinctively turned her head to look, only to find herself facing the tip of Luo Zongshan's swung knife.

"Little!"

It was the sound of You Huai.

His trembling, terrified voice snapped Long Xiaoxiao back to her senses. The knife tip was already inches away, about to pierce her eye, so she had no choice but to retreat abruptly.

As soon as You Huai stepped out of his house, he saw a hair clip that Long Xiaoxiao had accidentally dropped on the ground. Just as he was wondering about it, he heard a meow. He immediately realized that Long Xiaoxiao must have been looking for the cat by following the meow, so he simply followed her over and happened to witness the scene before him.

"Travel along the Huai River!"
