Chapter 51
Wei Xun walked over to Cancan with hot milk in his hand, glanced at his phone screen, and asked casually, "What are you talking about with your brothers?"
Cancan pointed at the phone and answered obediently: "Cancan is talking to Daddy. Daddy asked Cancan if he and his classmates..."
Before he could even utter the word "thing", Gu Chi's slightly panicked voice suddenly came from the phone.
"Cancan! Have you eaten enough today?" Gu Chi suddenly asked.
Cancan's attention quickly shifted to food. She counted carefully what she had eaten today with her little fingers. By the end, she had completely forgotten about Weixun's question. All she could think about was how sweet the candies were and how fragrant the noodles were.
Cancan: "Daddy, next time I'll take you to eat delicious noodles."
Gu Chi quickly put on his hat when Wei Xun came over, and was relieved to see that Cancan didn't mention his colleague's brother anymore.
Children don't lie.
If Cancan thinks his hairstyle is ugly, then it is really ugly.
It was already embarrassing to appear in front of Cancan with such an ugly hairstyle. If Cancan repeated what happened in front of Weixun, he would really have no face at all.
Qi Sen, Pei Shen and Cancan said good night. After hanging up the video call, Qi Sen glanced at Gu Chi, who was sitting silently on the recliner. His gaze moved to the dog-bitten look on his face, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"You can stay at home during the recent Spring Festival holiday. It will be fine after the holiday is over and your hair grows longer." Pei Shen said with a smile.
Gu Chi rolled his eyes, ignored the ridicule of Pei Shen and Qi Sen, opened his WeChat address book, and hurriedly looked for a stylist.
Qi Sen picked up the book on the coffee table and was about to go upstairs when he thought of something and asked calmly, "Why do you suddenly want to change your look?"
Gu Chi paused, turned around awkwardly, and said vaguely: "New Year, new atmosphere, you don't understand."
Qi Sen stood there and watched for a while, then left silently after a while.
Gu Chi breathed a sigh of relief silently.
He himself didn't know why he suddenly went to get a haircut and change his hairstyle. He only knew that when he heard the voice message last night that was sent by Cancan instead of Weixun, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
I could vaguely guess what he was expecting.
After getting up in the morning, I rushed to get a haircut. During the process, I didn't pay attention to the barber's movements. I was absent-minded and thinking about all sorts of things. I just said "hmm" perfunctorily to everything the barber said, so I got this dog-bitten hairstyle.
Thinking of this shape, Gu Chi flipped through the address book faster.

In the evening, after taking a bath, Cancan sat on the bed holding a Barbie doll. In front of her were many pretend toys such as small plastic cups, small pots, and small beds.
She kicked the quilt aside, placed the Barbie doll on the crib, and tapped the doll's head with her little finger. "It's late, baby, go to sleep."
Wei Xun, who had just finished applying a facial mask, came over with her phone. When she saw Cancan, she chuckled and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Cancan took out a piece of paper from the tissue box on the bedside table and covered the Barbie doll with it. She said in a baby voice, "Cancan will wait until the baby falls asleep before she goes to sleep."
"Is it your baby?" Wei Xun asked.
"Yes!" Cancan said seriously, "It's Cancan's child. Cancan must take good care of it. We can't let it get sick."
As she spoke, she tilted her head and chuckled.
"Cancan is my child, and I have to take good care of him."
Wei Xun chuckled softly, his delicate features appearing gentler under the dim yellow light of the evening.
"I will take good care of you."
Cancan nodded, "Cancan is very busy now, she has to take care of the baby, mommy can play by herself~"
Wei Xun lay at the head of the bed and watched Cancan entertaining herself carefully, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
After a long time, he returned his gaze to the phone screen.
On WeChat, agent Xiao Shen sent several messages.
[Xunxun, "You Are My Little Love" will start filming in half a month. I won't be taking any work during this period. You should rest well at home.]
[Si's idea is to discuss more serious dramas with you this year. The idol industry is changing too quickly, and this path is unstable.]
We've been discussing two dramas with Zongyang Film and Television: a suspenseful detective drama and an urban workplace drama. I'll send the scripts over tomorrow, and you can take a good look at them.
Wei Xun simply replied with the word "OK".
At the top of the screen, the words "The other party is typing" appeared for a few seconds. Wei Xun turned his head to look at Cancan, glancing at his phone from time to time, waiting for Xiao Shen's next message.
But the message did not appear and the words “the other party is typing” disappeared.
Wei Xun thought for a moment and typed:
What else?
After a few minutes, Xiao Shen replied:
Sister Gu called me over to talk a few times.
Sister Gu is the owner and CEO of Taichuan Entertainment. She graduated from a prestigious university with a degree in directing, but instead of pursuing film and television roles, she founded a company specializing in film and television investment. Her investments have yielded significant profits, and she later began signing artists and investing in short video projects.
Wei Xun is one of the contracted artists of Taichuan Entertainment.
[Sister Gu said, I hope you can make good use of this path of Cancan...]
Wei Xun frowned.
On the eighth day of your appearance on the variety show, many big-name brands approached us about collaborating.
Although shower gel and shampoo may not be trendy, they are everyday items. Endorsing a national brand can be very helpful for your transformation.
The brand wants you to film a GG video with Cancan, but when I asked Cancan, it seems the Gu family flatly refused. But Cancan is very attached to you and will definitely listen to whatever you say.
[What the brand owner meant was that if you wanted to be the spokesperson for those national brands, you had to get Cancan to shoot gg with you.]
Wei Xun read the message from his agent expressionlessly, tapped the screen with his finger, a hint of anger between his brows.
Cancan is so young, why does she need to take a gg photo? Does she understand what gg means and what responsibilities it entails?
"I disagree. Stop saying that."
After saying that, he exited the WeChat page and lay down on the bed feeling a little bored.
Cancan, who was beside her, carefully placed the Barbie doll with closed eyes on the bedside table. She turned around a few times and arched over to Weixun. When she looked up, she happened to see Weixun with a somewhat annoyed expression. She tilted her head and asked, "Mom, why are you unhappy?"
Wei Xun took Cancan in his arms, covered her with a blanket and said softly, "Nothing, just some small things at work."
Cancan said "oh" obediently.
She wiggled in Wei Xun's arms for a long time, and after that, her little head popped out from under the quilt. Her watery eyes looked even brighter in the clear moonlight.
"Mom, if you're not happy at work, don't work. Cancan is grown up now and can help you with your work."
Wei Xun tilted his head, and the suffocation in his eyes disappeared by a third. He rubbed Cancan's little face and asked, "Aren't you only three and a half years old? How can you grow up so quickly?"
Cancan said seriously, "Cancan is almost four years old. Daddy said that a four-year-old can be a big sister in the middle class."
"Mid-shift?"
"Yes! Cancan is in the kindergarten class now, and will be able to go to the middle class in half a year. But Cancan hasn't been to kindergarten for a long time."
Wei Xun: "Why didn't you go to kindergarten?"
Cancan arched her eyebrows and smiled sweetly: "Because Cancan likes working, filming, and being on variety shows."
Wei Xun was stunned.
Work?
Acting is so tiring, how could Cancan fall in love with this.
In her last film, she filmed with Cancan. Although Cancan had fewer scenes, they also had scenes at night, in the snow, and on rainy days. She had seen Cancan dozing off sleepily under the lights during a night scene, her little head nodding down like a fish, which was heartbreaking to watch.
I felt sorry for Cancan who couldn’t sleep so late and had to stand in the living room to film.
Cancan seemed to have completely forgotten the tiredness and sleepiness from filming. She hugged Weixun's arm and said with a sweet smile, "I can see my mother when I'm filming or on variety shows. Cancan loves filming."
Wei Xun looked at her, not knowing what to say for a long time.
It felt like a huge wave was rising in my heart, and the waves kept hitting my chest, bringing waves of pain and sorrow.
"Is it because of me that you like filming so much?"
Cancan nodded.
She touched Wei Xun's face and asked in a baby voice, "Mom, next time we film together, can you play the mom and Cancan play the baby?"
"Cancan doesn't want mother to be Brother Wei Su's wife."
Cancan was talking about her role in the TV series Hello, Life, which she co-starred with Weixun. In this drama, Cancan played the younger sister of the male protagonist Wei Su, and Weixun played Wei Su's girlfriend.
Although the two are close, they are not a family in the drama and do not spend that much time together.
"Cancan just wants mother to be daddy's wife." Cancan said in a low voice.
Wei Xun laughed.
"You know what wife means? Just keep saying it."
Cancan turned sideways, blinked her bright almond eyes twice seriously, and her long eyelashes swayed up and down, looking cute and serious.
"Of course Cancan knows. My wife is always someone I can sleep with."
"Before, Daddy and Mommy slept together."
Wei Xun rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, "But we are not together now, and you are next to me now."
Cancan tilted her head and thought about it, and her confused eyes gradually became clearer.
She held Wei Xun's hand tightly and said in a baby voice, "So Cancan is your elder now, right?"
Wei Xun: ...
It's quite outrageous.
Wei Xun didn't know how to explain. After hesitating for two seconds, he picked up his phone and quickly changed the subject: "Cancan, we took a lot of photos during the day. Didn't you just say you wanted to send them to your father and brother?"
Cancan nodded.
"Daddy and brother look at Cancan every day. Sister Taotao said that Cancan's photos are amazing and can make them laugh."
Wei Xun smiled and nodded her little head, then opened the photo album and looked for photos with Cancan.
After flipping through a few pictures, Cancan suddenly asked, "Mom, have you ever posted a picture of Cancan on Pengpeng Moments?"
"Daddy said that many people like to show off their baby's photos on Bumper Circle these days, and babies can compete with each other." Cancan shook her little hands and said to Weixun in a serious tone, "Third brother said that Cancan always gets the most likes. Cancan is the number one baby in Bumper Circle."
Cancan said a lot, and Weixun laughed while listening.
"Cancan, it's the friend circle."
Cancan blinked and asked in confusion, "This circle is the same as the bump circle. Will it also be compared to the baby's photo?"
Wei Xun smiled but didn't answer, quietly recalling the circle of friends of Gu Chi, Qi Sen and others.
After adding them as friends, I'd see them showing off Cancan every couple of days on their Moments, either posting photos praising Cancan's cuteness or videos declaring that my Cancan is a child prodigy. The smugness in their words was practically overflowing the screen.
Every time he saw them, Wei Xun would give them a thumbs up half sincerely and half helplessly.
Before meeting Cancan, Gu Chi, Qi Sen, and Pei Shen, likes on their Moments were nothing but clouds. After meeting Cancan, they would remember every like. Once, she forgot to like Cancan's photo, and Pei Shen even asked her in private, "Isn't our Cancan adorable? Doesn't he deserve a sincere like?"
From then on, Wei Xun knew that Gu Chi, Qi Sen and Pei Shen had many painful things in their hearts, but Wu Zan must be the worst.
Wei Xun tilted his head.
Cancan beside her was still waiting for her reply earnestly.
Wei Xun thought for a moment and said, "Then let's pick a few of the best photos and send them out?"
She indeed never posted any photos of Cancan on her Moments.
There were several times when I captured Cancan's cute moments and couldn't suppress my inner joy and wanted to share them with others. A few times, I almost posted them on WeChat Moments. Thinking about my special relationship with Cancan, I silently sent the videos and photos to Pei Shen and others.
But this time, since Cancan wanted her to post it, she would post it.
Wei Xun picked out a few photos that she thought were cute, thought for a few seconds and came up with a copy, and then listed her company, leaders and even her agent Xiao Shen as invisible. Only after doing all this did she post the first post to show off her child's social circle.
Soon, a record of showing off the baby appeared in the circle of friends of Gu Chi, Pei Shen, Sheng Jing and Qi Sen.
【Weixun: Today's gift is so cute and bright.】
Below the text are several photos of Cancan with her face covered with cake, her two little hands covered with cream, grinning at the camera.
Not long after, Pei Shen and others replied.
[Pei Shen: It’s me, Canbao, the sugar content is full]
[Gu Chi: My teeth hurt from the sweetness. Hurry up and get my insulin. I need to lower my blood sugar.]
[Qin Youyan: So cute]
[Sheng Jing: Praise and Gifts]
[Qi Sen: Waiting for tomorrow's lovely sparkle]
