Chapter 37
Everyone present looked at Wei Xun with envy.
After the kiss, Cancan took two steps back and said in a soft voice, "Do you like me kissing you?"
Wei Xun nodded.
Cancan's dimples are sweet, and her words are like they are soaked in honey. "Then if you want me to kiss you in the future, just tell me."
Wei Xun still hadn't reacted, but the people around him couldn't hold back any longer. A few of them came forward and squatted beside Cancan, asking, "Cancan, what about us? Can you kiss us?"
Cancan shook her head subconsciously and said in a baby voice, "Cancan only kisses family members. You guys go let your babies kiss you."
A low laugh instantly spread throughout the entire set.
Cancan looked intently at the smiles of the older sisters in front of her and asked in confusion, "What's so funny?"
The staff member was about to answer, but was called away by his leader to set up the scene. He smiled and asked Cancan, waved his hand, and suddenly disappeared from her sight.
When Gu Chi and the others came over, Cancan looked at their disappearing backs with a confused look on her face.
My ignorant little head couldn't figure out what was so funny.
After filming two more scenes, at noon, Gu Chi, Qi Sen, Pei Shen, Sheng Jing, and Tao Tao took Cancan to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
Cancan wanted to have dinner with Weixun, but Weixun had to discuss the upcoming gg film with his management team and had no time to join Cancan.
Tao Tao conveyed the reason given by Wei Xun's agent and comforted her, "Cancan, let's go. Your mother is very busy."
Cancan nodded, took Taotao's hand and walked two steps, then suddenly turned around and looked behind him, and asked innocently, "Daddy, why aren't you busy?"
This question stumped Gu Chi.
Wei Xun is twenty years old, just like him, but Wei Xun’s twenty years are a hundred times more colorful than his.
At the age of 20, she not only made it into the ranks of the four major actresses, but also became the youngest winner of the Hundred Paintings Awards. The people who love her could circle the earth.
Although there were many people who liked Gu Chi, most of them were attracted to him because of his family background or his charm, Cancan being one of them. If he was asked to think of another person, he would be unable to come up with a name for a long time.
The names of Qi Sen and Pei Shen were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't have the courage to say them out loud.
Gu Chi looked at Cancan and thought about the question she had just asked again.
Why isn't he busy?
Just when he was about to give a few perfunctory answers to Cancan, Qi Sen suddenly said, "Because your father is useless."
In short:
Too wasteful.
Pei Shen nodded repeatedly, squatted in front of Cancan and straightened her clothes, and said seriously: "Don't learn from your father."
Gu Chi behind him rolled his eyes.
Secretly angry.
Why is he always the one who gets hurt in this family?
Cancan nodded her head as if she had suddenly understood something, and she grabbed Pei Shen's hand and said seriously, "Third brother, Cancan won't learn from Daddy."
Gu Chi's heart was broken. He murmured angrily, "Rebellious sons! All three of them are rebellious sons!"
The three brothers glanced at him coldly.
The wicked will be punished by heaven, there is no need to rush.
Sheng Jing kept in mind what his agent said about making the second vlog, and he held up the selfie device to record the video without slacking off for a moment.
Even he himself forgot that this conversation with Gu Chi was also recorded.
**
In the restaurant, Cancan pretended to flip through the big menu one by one.
They came to a Cantonese restaurant that was suitable for Cancan. The food was light and not spicy, just to Cancan's taste.
On the far left side of the rectangular table, Taotao placed her bag and documents next to the wooden fence, with Cancan sitting next to her.
Sheng Jing skillfully placed the phone on the phone holder.
The mobile phone holder was placed right in the middle of Taotao's desk, and Cancan became the first person to enter the screen's field of view.
On the screen, Qi Sen sat on the other side of Cancan, opposite Pei Shen and Sheng Jing. On the screen, the four of them either handed each other tissues or used hot water to heat each other's bowls, which was warm and tacit.
Gu Chi sat alone on the other side of the long table, looking at them with a forced smile.
"Have you forgotten that there is someone here?"
Qi Sen, Pei Shen, and Sheng Jing turned around and handed him the paper and kettle in their hands one by one.
"You can do it yourself."
Gu Chi:?
Pei Shen pursed his lips and said, "We, as rebellious sons, will not serve you tea or water. It doesn't fit our character."
Sheng Jing covered his eyes with a piece of paper and chuckled secretly.
Gu Chi was numb.
Before he met Cancan, he was surrounded by a bunch of bad friends who flattered him every day and praised him highly. After he met Cancan and adopted three rebellious sons, his living standard plummeted and he became the target of bullying every day.

Throughout the whole venue, several brothers and fathers were retaliating against each other, only Cancan and Taotao were carefully reading the menu.
Cancan couldn't understand the words, so she pointed at the beautiful pictures and said, "Cancan wants this, this, and this white and yellow cake."
Qi Sen glanced at the menu, frowned and asked, "Children can't eat so much, their stomachs will hurt."
Cancan closed the menu and raised her head and said, "Cancan is not eating it by herself. Cancan wants to give the cake to mother."
Taotao smiled and said, "Our Canbao is really sensible."
Cancan nodded, accepted Taotao's compliment calmly, and patted her chest proudly: "Of course Cancan is sensible."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the clay pot rice in front of her and said in a baby voice, "Cancan can eat a lot of rice today. She is the number one eater."
Several brothers know that Cancan is a child who particularly likes to be praised by others. Sometimes after being praised once, she will find ways to get others to praise her a second time.
Cancan knew that if she ate more rice, she would be praised. She ate two mouthfuls in a row, and a few grains of rice stuck to the corners of her mouth. Cancan pointed to her chubby cheeks without noticing, and blinked happily, as if asking, "Am I super awesome?"
Qi Sen wiped the oil stains and rice grains from the corners of her mouth and praised her, "Cancan is amazing."
After a long time, Cancan swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled: "Thank you. You are also very good."
Qi Sen nodded without saying anything.
He was eating his meal leisurely when he saw Cancan staring at him motionlessly. He asked calmly, "What's wrong, Cancan?"
Cancan pointed at herself and said, "You haven't thanked Cancan yet."
Everyone was stunned.
He laughed out loud after realizing what was happening.
In order to get others to praise him or even thank him, Cancan has evolved to the point where he starts to use praising others to gain praise and encouragement?
He is worthy of being their cub, so awesome!
At the end of the meal, Cancan’s favorite dessert was served.
After eating three pieces of crystal cakes in a row, Cancan's belly bulged visibly, like a round little watermelon.
Qi Sen frowned and took the plate away when Cancan was about to take the fourth piece of crystal cake.
Cancan looked at the disappearing plate in front of her in confusion, stared at Qi Sen blankly, and asked aggrievedly: "Brother, Cancan is so hungry."
"Your stomach is bloated, how can you still be hungry?"
Cancan looked down at her bulging belly, covered her belly with her two little hands, and said in a baby voice, "But Cancan is hungry."
"It'll be deflated soon."
Sheng Jing stared helplessly at his sister's stubborn face and said softly, "Cancan, you really can't eat anymore."
Cancan hummed twice and raised her hand seriously: "Cancan is really still edible. Cancan wants more food."
Before, in kindergarten, as long as she raised her little hand and told the teacher that she wanted more food, the teacher would give her more. At this moment, Cancan put one little hand flat on the table and raised the other one high, with both hands at 90 degrees, and shook it very seriously.
Qi Sen sighed and turned his gaze to Gu Chi, who had been silent.
He nodded Cancan's head and said lightly, "Are you coming?"
Gu Chi rolled his eyes.
You isolated him when you took the dishes just now, and now that you can't deal with Cancan, you start thinking about him?
Gu Chi was too lazy to pay attention to them and continued to browse his phone with his head down, but his eyes would occasionally linger in Cancan's direction, fearing that she had really eaten it.
Qi Sen spoke again: "Are you really not coming?"
Gu Chi: "Do you remember me now?"
"You are quite useful in dealing with this." Qi Sen suddenly started praising him.
Gu Chi coughed lightly twice, and was very pleased with this implicit compliment. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he put down his phone and walked towards the waiter. A few minutes later, he came back with a pink porcelain cup.
Gu Chi stood beside Cancan, pointed to the pink porcelain cup in his hand and said, "Your crystal cake is cold and can't be eaten anymore. Daddy is holding the sweetest yogurt in the world, sweeter than the crystal cake."
Cancan looked at the pink porcelain cup curiously and asked curiously: "Will it really be sweet?"
"certainly."
After he finished speaking, Gu Chi pretended to secretly lift the lid of the cup and smell it, "If you don't drink it, Daddy will drink it."
Cancan certainly didn't want Gu Chi to drink it, so she quickly threw the crystal cake she had just snatched aside and said in a baby voice, "Cancan doesn't want to eat cakes anymore."
The soft little hands were raised high, looking at Gu Chi expectantly.
Gu Chi smiled, handed the porcelain cup to Cancan, and put the straw in her mouth.
Cancan took a sip and frowned.
He scratched his head in confusion and took small sips of the yogurt in the cup.
After sucking for a while, she bit the straw in confusion and whispered, "Cancan can't even drink yogurt."
Gu Chi took the empty cup from Cancan's hand, suppressed his smile and said seriously, "How is that possible? Daddy bought this from the waitress with great difficulty."
He handed the empty cup to Qi Sen and winked at him while saying, "Let your second brother smell it and let him say whether it is sweet or not."
The moment Qi Sen took the pink porcelain cup, his eyebrows moved.
The empty cup had no weight. He glanced at Gu Chi and seemed to understand something.
Cancan ate too much at this meal. Both yogurt and crystal cake are very filling. We were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable due to indigestion, so we couldn't let her eat either of them. Children don't understand the importance of moderation, but adults do.
Qi Sen quickly understood Gu Chi's meaning, opened the cup lid, took a slight sniff, and said lightly: "It is indeed very sweet."
Cancan became even more confused.
Sheng Jing, Pei Shen and Tao Tao were also puzzled.
The three of them took the cup and took a look at it. They understood Gu Chi's intention and praised it in succession: "This yogurt is really sweet."
Cancan scratched her head helplessly with her little hands, completely unaware of why this happened.
Sheng Jing kindly made up a lie: "Cancan, you must have eaten too much sweet food today. Your Master Yanwang doesn't want you to eat sweets anymore, so he secretly used magic to make you unable to taste sweetness."
When Cancan heard the word "King of Hell", she was so scared that her whole body trembled. The flesh on her face twitched twice. She looked at Sheng Jing in fear, with an inexplicable sense of seriousness and humor.
She pushed the pink cup away and said crisply, "Cancan won't eat today."
Hearing this, several people present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Although the method used was a bit strange, fortunately it successfully achieved the goal and prevented Cancan from eating another bite of food.
After the meal, Cancan was sent to the theater to continue filming, while Sheng Jing went back to the company, sent the recorded materials of the day to his agent, and held a small meeting to discuss the subsequent announcements.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Sheng Jing returned home.
Agent Xiao Li opened the video sent by Sheng Jing and watched it carefully. The more he watched, the more obvious the smile on his face became, and his expression became more and more excited.
Such a weird and funny family, this strange way of coaxing Cancan, and teasing Gu Chi's disgusted attitude is too funny! !
Xiao Li quickly sent this video to his assistant and post-production team, hoping to edit and send out the second vlog as soon as possible.
Two days later, Sheng Jing's second video of Gu Family Diary was successfully posted on Weibo at nine in the morning.
Many people commented before they even clicked to see it:
[After waiting for more than half a month, the second issue is finally here]
[Can you have more happy videos with the Gu family in the future? I really love your atmosphere.]
[I'm different. I just want to see Sheng Jing being scolded by Gu Chi]
A few minutes later, a group of people who had watched the video were filled with questions.
ah? ?
What's going on?
In the first episode of Gu Family Diary, Sheng Jing was severely ridiculed by a group of people because he forgot to turn on the camera while recording a video. He was also punched and kicked twice to vent his anger.
But in this episode, the group's favorite is still Cancan, but the group's bully has changed and is replaced by Gu Chi.
[Hahaha, so this is what it's like to have a "dad" who's two years older than you]
In a normal family, the father scolds his son, but in the Gu family, three sons scold their father. It's truly a loving father and a laughing son. It's hilarious!
[Gu Chi, stand up! Give your three rebellious sons a good beating and scolding. Don't hit Canbao, she's still a little baby who knows nothing.]
[Cancan really likes Weixun. She thinks of her mother even when she goes out to eat.]
[When will mother be able to join the Gu family? I want to see mother kissing, hugging and holding me up high.]
...
Many people were moved by Cancan's well-behaved behavior, but were also sad that Cancan could not have dinner with Weixun.
When they saw Cancan say that she wanted to bring Gaogao to her mother, they all pressed the pause button and rushed into the comment section, sighing that Canbao was so well-behaved, and excitedly shouting for the mother and daughter to recognize each other as soon as possible.
After venting the excitement in my heart, I continued to click on the video to watch.
Cancan’s eating broadcast is so adorable. She stuffs food into her mouth in small bites, like a little squirrel holding a walnut and chewing it in small bites. Every move she makes is so adorable that it makes people’s hearts melt.
When Cancan was about to eat the crystal cake, Qi Sen in the picture took the crystal cake away, and then began a bizarre plot to deceive Cancan.
[??? Am I seeing things right? Cancan was really so foolish as to be fooled by an empty cup?]
My baby was so good at drinking yogurt from the cup, sipping through the straw with such seriousness, but I ended up letting her drink in vain?
[Only a weird father like Gu Chi would cheat his daughter like this, right?]
[Cancan is so real! My little daughter is like this too. If I don’t let her eat, she’ll look at me angrily. It’s so cute.]
The Gu family's education is pretty good! When they encounter a problem, they use roundabout tactics to solve it. Although these roundabout tactics are a bit strange...but any method that can solve the problem is a good method.
After this segment, the video abruptly ends.
The audience sighed, still unsatisfied.
How come it's gone now?
More and more!!
Soon, the comments under the Weibo video of the second episode of Gu Family Diary were all "Give me more updates! I want to watch more!", "I can read the happy diary of the Gu family for the rest of my life" and so on. What's more, fans were clamoring to ask if there could be a large-scale variety show about life and raising cubs. Cancan's cuteness and the Gu family's banter were really joyful!
Of course, we also have to add the indispensable mother!
But fans can only think about these. There has never been a variety show centered around a family and recording their daily lives. Everyone knows that there is not much drama, so they watch the video again for comfort.
**
Soon, it was Christmas Eve.
This is Cancan’s first time celebrating Christmas, so his brothers and fathers naturally take this matter more seriously.
Two days before Christmas, Gu Chi brought his assistant with him to visit her on set, intending to ask her what gift she wanted for Christmas.
I brought some warm items such as hot milk tea, hot water bottles, and gloves to the crew members.
Huang Tiantian looked at the little yellow duck gloves in front of him and was slightly stunned.
"For me?"
Cancan nodded heavily, "Director sister, you and the little yellow duck are a family."
Huang Tiantian glanced at the silly little yellow duck and repeated suspiciously, "It and I...are like a family?"
"Yes. You all have the surname Huang, so of course you are family."
Her surname is Long, which means a dragon cub. The director’s sister’s surname is Huang, so of course she is a descendant of a yellow duck!
Cancan lowered her head, thinking about something seriously.
What about the descendants of Big Bear and Big Snake?
Gu Chi pretended not to hear Cancan's childish words, and handed the entire rubber duck series to the director naturally: "It's cold here, take it."
The weather is getting colder, and the sunny days seem to be gone forever. It is so cold these days that people can only shiver.
Cancan wears a lot of clothes every day, and Taotao touches her little hands from time to time to make sure her palms are always warm.
"Christmas is coming soon, let's consider this as a Christmas gift." said Gu Chi.
He took Cancan to the small lounge and fed her some hot water.
"Cancan, it's going to be the Red Grandpa's Festival soon. He's very happy during the festival and will give gifts to many children. What gift does Cancan want?"
Cancan didn't even think about it and quickly said, "Cancan wants mother!"
"Mother can't be given to Cancan as a gift."
Cancan curled her lips and frowned unhappily.
"But Cancan just wants to celebrate the festival with her mother."
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and it is also the day she wraps up filming.
Cancan is just a minor supporting role in the play, so naturally she doesn't have as many scenes as Wei Su and Wei Xun. Later on, when the two of them were pursuing their careers while dating, Cancan's scenes became very few, and the filming was completed very quickly.
I left the crew on Christmas Eve and completely missed the hope of spending Christmas and even New Year's Eve with Wei Xun.
Cancan lowered her head and stood there without saying a word, still holding the little pink dragon thermos cup he had specially bought for her in her hand. She stood there pitifully, like a poor little thing that no one wanted.
Gu Chi sighed.
"Daddy will try to bring her to you."
Cancan nodded heavily and chuckled.
On Christmas Eve, the crew held a wrap-up farewell party for Cancan.
On the one-meter-long white cake, a line of words was outlined with pink cream.
[Our Canbao has finished filming]
Cancan was holding a small bunch of daisies, standing between Wei Su and Wei Xun. Her little head naturally rested on Wei Xun's legs, and she smiled sweetly at the front.
After cutting the cake and taking photos, it was already 9:30 in the evening when we finished the whole process.
Gu Chi came to take Cancan home. Wei Xun waved to Cancan. When she was about to leave, Gu Chi hurriedly called her.
"Excuse me, are you free tomorrow?" Gu Chi asked politely, "Cancan wants to invite you to spend Christmas together."
Wei Xun frowned and shook his head slightly.
She has to rush to film these days and also attend the New Year's Eve concert at the end of the year. There are many major celebrations during this period at the end of the year, and she has no right or freedom to rest at all.
Gu Chi had asked her agent about this before, and even though he knew there was no time, he still asked her again without giving up, and got the same answer.
Gu Chi understood, "Work is the most important thing."
Wei Xun thought for a moment and said softly, "If I have time, I will try my best to go over there."
Gu Chi raised his eyebrows, not expecting that Wei Xun, who had been so indifferent to Cancan before, would say such a thing.
He nodded, opened the car door and smiled.
The relationship between their baby Cancan and his mother is getting better and better.
**
But on Christmas Day, Cancan still couldn't see Weixun.
Wei Xun was filming all day long, and it was already one in the morning when he finished. In the following days, he was running back and forth between activities and filming. He was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car and had no time to think about anything else.
Not only that, Cancan didn't see Weixun on New Year's Eve.
Outside, lights were flickering and fireworks were bursting in the long night. Cancan exclaimed "Wow" in surprise.
"Flowers can also bloom in the sky!" Cancan pointed at the night sky and said happily while looking back.
Pei Shen, Qi Sen and Sheng Jing stood behind her. They all looked up at the sky with a faint smile on their lips.
Qi Sen asked: "Cancan likes it very much?"
Cancan hummed heavily, "So beautiful."
The three adults and one child were quietly looking at the night sky. There was a cup of steaming milk on the glass table on the balcony. The clouds next to the moon dispersed, and the moonlight fell like water, quietly bringing light to the ground.
Qi Sen glanced at her calmly for a few seconds, picked up the hot milk and said softly, "Cancan, drink the milk and go to bed."
Cancan thought of something, and suddenly lowered her head and said gloomily, "But Cancan hasn't seen mother yet."
"She's very busy." Sheng Jing explained.
Yesterday he specifically checked Wei Xun's announcement for tonight. After knowing that Wei Xun was going to participate in the New Year's Eve concert in the capital, he knew that she would have no chance to come.
Sheng Jing rushed back after attending the New Year's Eve event in the city. It was only a little after ten o'clock, and Cancan was already yawning with sleepiness. It was impossible for her to go to bed after 12 o'clock and the New Year.
Cancan nodded aggrievedly and whispered, "Cancan understand."
Everyone saw his pitiful expression. He lay on the bed with a pouty mouth, as if he was filled with regrets.
Sheng Jing watched quietly and left the room quietly.
The next day, the first day of 2022.
Cancan met a man who was familiar yet a little strange.
Director Wang was in charge of the entire show when he participated in "The Journey You Can't Imagine".
Director Wang sat on the sofa and politely declined, "I don't want to drink water, so don't bother."
The aunt quickly brought a pot of good tea, poured him a cup and left quietly.
Gu Chi held Cancan in his arms and asked curiously, "What's the matter with you coming here?"
Qi Sen and Pei Shen came over after breakfast and sat on another sofa, watching him quietly.
Sheng Jing, who didn't go home last night, just got up. His handsome hairstyle became messy overnight. A few hairs stood crookedly on his head, looking a little silly.
When Director Wang saw Sheng Jing, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "This time I'm here to invite your whole family to participate in a variety show."
Gu Chi was stunned.
"Our whole family?"
Director Wang: "To be precise, it's you, Wei Xun, Qi Sen, Pei Shen, Sheng Jing, and the protagonist Cancan."
Qi Sen leaned back on the pillow and spoke slowly, "Cancan will no longer accept the variety show you directed."
The whole network knew how miserable they were in the previous "Your Unexpected Journey" that Cancan participated in.
What should have been a joyful travel variety show turned into a survival battle. After this trip, Sheng Jing, Cancan and several other guests fully understood how difficult it is to live.
Director Wang still smiled and said, "It's not too late to refuse after you've finished listening to me."
"The theme of our variety show is for you to play games with Cancan. I know you're all very busy, and Weixun doesn't get to see Cancan that often, but through this variety show, we can bring you all together. Weixun and Shengjing can play games with Cancan while working. Isn't that great?"
Pei Shen asked doubtfully, "Are you really just playing games?"
Director Wang nodded.
"Play the game that Cancan wants to play with her."
Sheng Jing didn't believe it: "Will anyone watch a show about playing games like this? Aren't you worried about your ratings?"
Director Wang shook his head and looked at Gu Chi with a little more appreciation in his eyes.
"After our research over this period of time, we found that netizens first love to see Cancan's cuteness and the joy and warmth of your family raising her together. Second... " Director Wang paused, his gaze turning to the expressionless Qi Sen: "Secondly, they want to see the son confront his father."
Gu Chi:?
So his role in this variety show is to get scolded?
