Chapter 56
Shengjing and Weixun’s ability to sell products was fully demonstrated tonight.
The "Don't spoil your children too much" jacket that left the entire Internet confused became popular because of them.
Stores on major e-commerce platforms have released the same jacket, which doesn't have the "Don't spoil your child too much" slogan. Pre-order now, shipping within 14 days. While the lead time is long, pre-orders skyrocketed within seconds of it being listed.
Not only that, the next day some stores also took advantage of the trend and put "Don't spoil your children too much" water cups, tablecloths and other daily necessities on the shelves.
Some netizens joked, "This line of words reminds me all the time that I haven't beaten my child for three days."
Gu Chi was browsing Weibo while rubbing Cancan's head and sighing, "Cancan, look at those older brothers and sisters online. They scold their children every three days. Look at you, have your parents ever spanked you? You should behave well and not eat too much candy."
Cancan, who was playing with cars, looked up and saw Gu Chi teaching in a baby voice: "It's wrong to hit people. Daddy can't hit children."
Gu Chi glanced at the quirky Cancan and nodded in compromise, "Okay, okay, I get it. As long as you don't make a fuss about eating candy, I won't say anything to you."
Upon hearing this, Cancan paused playing with the car, put the car into the toy box, stood up and sat next to Gu Chi, with her back to him, her hands clasped around her chest, her head slightly raised, expressing her anger with practical actions.
Gu Chi naturally saw this scene. He picked up the pillow and moved it to the side with a bit of amusement, ignoring Cancan completely.
Ever since Cancan got sick from a stomach upset and spent two days in bed, the whole family has finally understood the importance of a healthy diet. Snacks and takeout are no longer allowed, and we've started focusing on a balanced diet. We've even reduced the amount of sausages Cancan loves and increased the amount of vegetables and meat.
I have to drink milk twice a day, morning and evening, but fortunately Cancan doesn’t mind it.
But without candy in life, Cancan's heart felt like it had fallen into a hell full of crabs, and it was extremely bitter.
Now she is throwing a tantrum at Gu Chi because of the candy.
Cancan held his head high and waited for a while, but no one came to coax him. He turned around suspiciously and glanced at Gu Chi. When he found that the distance between him and his father had become farther, he cleverly moved back and moved next to Gu Chi again.
"Daddy, Cancan is very unhappy." Cancan leaned on Gu Chi and said angrily.
Gu Chi laughed twice, "It's no use if you're unhappy. If you can't eat it, you can't eat it."
When Cancan was about to say something, Gu Chi's phone vibrated twice.
"Your mother called." Gu Chi said.
After attending the film festival, Wei Xun joined the crew to film in S City. Every night after filming, if it was still early, he would make a WeChat video call with Gu Chi and chat with Cancan.
Cancan habitually took the phone from Gu Chi, pointed her face at the phone screen, and called out in a baby voice: "Mom~"
Wei Xun on the other side of the screen smiled.
While talking to Cancan, he got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.
"Is Cancan obedient today?"
Cancan, who had just finished arguing with Gu Chi about wanting candy, nodded obediently, completely forgetting that she was throwing a tantrum just a second ago, and said seriously, "Of course Cancan is obedient."
Gu Chi, who was sitting on the side and listening silently, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Wei Xun didn’t know all this and praised, “Cancan is awesome.”
The two chatted casually for a while, Cancan chattering about this and that day, and Wei Xun couldn't keep up with her thoughts at all.
Most of the time, Cancan was talking and Weixun was listening.
"Cancan ate sweet corn today, so Third Brother gave all the corn to Cancan."
Wei Xun held the phone and listened quietly.
It wasn't long before we arrived at the door of the hotel room.
Agent Xiao Shen said with concern, "Hurry up and wash up and go to bed. I saw you yawning every day on the set these past two days."
Wei Xun lowered his phone and said casually, "The hotel curtains don't block out much light. I'm not used to it. It will be fine in a few days. Go back to your room and rest. Don't worry about me."
Xiao Shen nodded.
Cancan, who had been talking to himself, didn't hear any of this and was still chattering about what delicious food he had for lunch.
Gu Chi, who was leaning on the armrest of the sofa, moved his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking in his dark eyes, and he looked at Cancan thoughtfully.
"Cancan, let's stop talking to your mother today. You should go to bed." Gu Chi suddenly said.
Cancan waved her little hand to Weixun reluctantly, "Mom, Cancan is going to sleep now."
"Okay, go ahead." Wei Xun's voice was a little tired.
Cancan hung up the phone and muttered while holding the phone: "But Cancan is not sleepy at all."
Gu Chi said perfunctorily: "Yeah, I understand."
He took Cancan's hand and walked into the room, his mind pondering something, his eyes dull. After taking two steps, a light flashed in his eyes. He picked up Cancan and said loudly: "Cancan, do you want to go out for a trip?"
Cancan shook her head.
"Cancan doesn't want to. My second brother said Cancan has to go to kindergarten tomorrow. Cancan wants to go to kindergarten and play with Xiaolingdang."
Gu Chi completely ignored Cancan's words and said with great energy, "Daddy knows what you want."
Cancan tilted her head, her face full of question marks.
Cancan, who was carried to the bed by Gu Chi, tilted her head, with a look of question marks on her face.
She stared blankly at Gu Chi covering her with the quilt, and there was a hint of confusion in her clear eyes.
"Cancan, did you say you wanted to go just now?" she asked in a baby voice.
Gu Chi nodded, his tone as a matter of course: "What else?"
Cancan thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and fell into a deep sleep full of questions.
I was woken up by Gu Chi early the next morning.
Sitting on the bed with messy hair, Cancan pouted aggrievedly, "Cancan still wants to sleep."
Gu Chi turned a deaf ear to him, casually took out a piece of clothing from the closet for Cancan to change, and said hurriedly: "Okay, we are going to drive to S City for a two-hour trip, you can sleep on the way."
Cancan hummed twice unhappily.
**
At the dinner table, Qi Sen and Pei Shen took a few bites and prepared to leave. When they heard some noise behind them, they looked back.
"Gu Chi, take Cancan to kindergarten today." Qi Sen said lightly.
"But Cancan today..."
"Okay, I know." Gu Chi suddenly interrupted, covering Cancan's little mouth with his hand while smiling, "I'll pick her up in the evening and take her to the amusement park. I'll be back later."
Qi Sen nodded.
"Just don't feed her those messy things."
"I won't give it to her, don't worry."
..
Then, there was a soft sound of a door closing.
Gu Chi breathed a sigh of relief, gently released his hand that was covering Cancan's mouth, took some breakfast from the dining table and stuffed it into Cancan's arms, and hurriedly changed her shoes.
"Daddy, are we going to kindergarten or traveling?"
"We are going on a trip, but we are going on a secret trip and we can't tell anyone."
"Second brother, third brother, can't I?"
"Can't."
Cancan thought for a while, her eyes lit up and she asked excitedly: "What about mother?"
Gu Chi raised his eyes, looked at Cancan and said seriously, "You can't do that."
"This is a secret between Daddy and Cancan, you can't tell anyone."
Cancan blinked, still in a state of thinking
Gu Chi looked at his watch and hurriedly picked up Cancan and carried him into the garage.
As soon as the driver started driving, he sent a text message to Cancan's teacher, saying that Cancan had something to do today and could not go to kindergarten.
Cancan, who was deceived by him, ate the custard buns in small bites, with a happy look on her face, as if saying, "As long as I have sweet buns to eat, I can go anywhere."
She shook her little head proudly, and her pigtails swayed with it, looking so adorable.
Gu Chi chuckled.

S City.
Wei Xun got up at around five o'clock to go filming, and the hotel room was empty.
At around nine o'clock, Wei Xun's agent Xiao Shen suddenly received a WeChat message from Gu Chi.
Gu Chi: Hello, I'm Cancan's dad, Gu Chi. Could you please give me the key card to Weixun's hotel room? I took Cancan out for a trip today, and she suddenly said she wanted to see Weixun. I knew Weixun was busy filming, so I wanted her to take a nap in Weixun's room, so we could have some indirect contact.
Gu Chi: Oh, by the way, don't tell Wei Xun about this. She just joined the crew and has a tight schedule. There's no need for her to suddenly come here just for Cancan.
Xiao Shen didn't think too much about it and replied seriously: [Okay, I'll send you the crew's location, just call me when you come over]
Half an hour later, Xiao Shen rushed to Wei Xun with a paper bag.
Wei Xun is currently acting opposite Qin Youyan. After the two meet, they start to get to know each other step by step from being bickering lovers. The next scene will be about the change in their attitude towards each other after getting to know each other.
Qin Youyan glanced at the words on the paper bag and said with a smile, "Wei Xun, your assistant brought you some dry food. The chicken soup here is delicious. You're in for a treat."
Xiao Shen opened his mouth to explain, but when he thought of what Gu Chi said, he could only smile awkwardly.
"The Guxian chicken soup in S City is very famous, come and try it." Xiao Shen said.
Wei Xun had no appetite to drink.
This is her first time filming a sweet pet drama that is sweet from beginning to end, and she feels a little exhausted both physically and mentally.
Although there are emotional scenes with Wei Su in the previous part, at least the focus is on life, with conflicts and love. However, some lines in this drama are a bit difficult to say.
She couldn't even truly believe the script, so how could she get into the role and film it?
So I feel a little bit lost in the photos I took these days.
Qin Youyan understood her.
"Relax, don't put too much pressure on yourself, go drink some chicken soup and relax."
Wei Xun tilted his head: "Would you like some too?"
Qin Youyan waved his hand: "I don't drink this."
Wei Xun nodded, put down the script, picked up the white porcelain spoon and scooped up a spoonful to drink.
The chicken soup has a rich and fresh flavor. The hot chicken soup warms the stomach and dilutes some of the unpleasantness during filming.
Wei Xun felt relieved. Thinking of something, he raised his eyes slightly and asked curiously, "When did you buy it?"
Xiao Shen froze in his tracks and stammered, "That's it... I bought it when I had some free time."
Gu Chi didn't let her tell Wei Xun that he had been there. Xiao Shen didn't know the reason, but thinking that Gu Chi had helped Wei Xun so much in the last company incident, and not wanting to harm Wei Xun, she followed his request and didn't mention Gu Chi at all.
Wei Xun wanted to ask something when the director came over and stopped her.
Wei Xun quickly put down his bowl and spoon and went to the director with Qin Youyan to listen to what the director said.
Xiao Shen breathed a sigh of relief, finally escaping this disaster.
When his eyes moved from Wei Xun to the bowl of chicken soup, his brows furrowed slightly.
She thought of what Gu Chi said and put away the soup she had just taken a few sips of with some regret.
"The first serving of chicken soup from the store is still hot. Tell Weixun to drink more."
Xiao Shen sighed.
Wei Xun is busy with work and has no time to drink this.
**
In the crew at 7pm.
In the cozy room, Wei Xun and Qin Youyan sat together on the sofa, their hair tips wet from the rain still dripping with crystal water droplets. In the dim and hazy light, the two looked into each other's eyes, and ambiguous feelings were slowly fermenting in their sight.
Qin Youyan slowly moved closer to Wei Xun. His hot breath made the girl's ears slightly red. She turned her eyes uncomfortably, escaping the boy's affectionate gaze.
The distance between the two people was getting closer and closer, and with an undercurrent surging, a loud "Stop, stop, stop" interrupted the next action of the two people on the sofa.
Wei Xun rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head helplessly.
This first kissing scene was filmed more than ten times, and each time the scene was stopped before the kiss even started.
"The way you look at each other and the way you move your bodies are not good. They are too superficial."
"How should I put it? It lacks the interaction before the kiss."
"There's not enough tenderness. They lean in and kiss as if they're just completing a task, which lacks the ambiguity."
“Not strong enough.”
"Lifting your chin is just superficial. You want to kiss her, but have you really reached that point in your relationship? You'll think about this, so you'll hesitate. You'll be afraid that your actions today will offend her, and that she might not feel that way about you."
"What would you do at this time? For example, an ambiguous gesture like rubbing the earlobe, if you add a little bit, the effect will be completely different."
The director commented.
He frowned and said, "Let's stop here for today. You haven't eaten yet, so go have some food and have a good rest. Then think about it tonight. What will you do when you fall in love with someone for the first time and want to kiss them eagerly but reservedly?"
"Okay." Qin Youyan said.
Wei Xun didn't say anything. He rubbed his sore neck and walked out of the set under the spotlight.
Xiao Shen asked worriedly, "Are you tired?"
Wei Xun nodded.
This director has filmed many sweet idol dramas, each of which has received high ratings. The dramas are romantic and beautiful, but also have a hazy sense of excitement that makes the audience scream.
She and Qin Youyan lacked this feeling.
In the lounge, Xiao Shen hugged Wei Xun's coat and said worriedly, "This is the first time you've been stuck so many times today."
Wei Xun closed his eyes for a nap, resting the back of his hand over his eyes. He said tiredly, "Every artist has this moment. But in the past, the characters I encountered were familiar to me and I could put myself into them. Today is more difficult."
"But it will eventually pass."
Xiao Shen nodded repeatedly and encouraged: "You are so awesome, of course you can get through this!"
Wei Xun put down his hand and said calmly, "Let's go back. I'll watch some documentaries first."
As he spoke, he picked up his coat and walked out.
After leaving the set, Wei Xun stood on the side of the road waiting for a car to pick her up.
A black Bentley suddenly stopped in front of her.
Wei Xun silently took two steps back to make way for the person who wanted to get on the car.
As soon as she stood still, a joyful little voice rang out: "Mom! It's Cancan!"
Wei Xun was stunned.
Cancan showed her little head from the rolled-down window on the back seat and shook her head happily at her. Gu Chi behind her smiled and waved at her.
The evening wind was howling, and passers-by lowered their heads and quickly fled from this cold place.
Wei Xun quietly looked at the two people who looked like lucky cats, and a warm feeling gradually welled up in his heart.
In the infinite coldness, for the first time, someone like a family member was waiting for her to come home from get off work.
She was wrapped in a thick scarf and raised her lips slightly.
**
Inside the car, Wei, who was sitting in the back seat, asked:
"Have you had dinner yet?"
Cancan shook her head honestly, "Daddy and Cancan are very busy today and don't have time to eat."
Wei Xun: "Then I'll treat you guys. There's a place nearby that serves really delicious local cuisine. It's light and refreshing. Cancan will love it."
Before Cancan nodded, Gu Chi hurriedly said, "Let's eat next time. Let's go back to the hotel and rest first."
"Cancan is here, so of course I have to entertain her well. There's no need to rush back."
"Why entertain this little brat? It's too cold to eat outside in the middle of winter. Plus, there are so many colds these days. Don't let her catch a cold. Let's go back and order takeout."
Cancan curled her lips and said seriously: "Cancan wants to eat the dishes that mother recommended."
Gu Chi, who always obeyed Cancan's orders, flatly refused, "You are not allowed to go. Going back to the hotel is more important."
Cancan turned her head away angrily and ignored him, muttering, "Daddy doesn't like Cancan anymore, and Cancan doesn't like Daddy either!"
Wei Xun rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly:
"I'll just ask the restaurant to deliver it."
Hearing this, Cancan's expression relaxed a little, but she still raised her noble little head as if accusingly, and ignored Gu Chi arrogantly.
**
It was Gu Chi who opened the door.
He explained as he drove, "Your assistant gave it to me."
Wei Xun thought that Gu Chi had agreed with Xiao Shen that he would come to pick him up, so Xiao Shen gave him the door card, so he didn't think much about it.
The suite is a one-bedroom apartment consisting of a living room and a master bedroom.
Wei Xun accompanied Cancan to play with building blocks in the living room of the suite.
Gu Chi leaned against the door frame of the master bedroom, glanced at the room, and said anxiously, "Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while? I'll call you when dinner is ready."
Wei Xun said casually, "I'll just stay here with Cancan."
"Cancan, what's there to keep you company for? You should go back to your room first."
Wei Xun frowned and glanced at Gu Chi suspiciously: "You seem a little strange today."
First he hurried back to the hotel, and now he is urging her to go back to her room to rest. I don't know what he is up to.
Gu Chi chuckled uncomfortably, "What's so strange about me? If you don't want to go, then don't go. Let's wait for the meal."
After dinner, Gu Chi didn’t stay long as he still had to take Cancan home.
Picking up the reluctant Cancan, he hesitated and said, "Today...it's better to rest early."
Wei Xun nodded.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, after she finished watching a documentary about love, she returned to her room to get her pajamas and prepared to take a shower. As soon as she entered, she smelled a faint scent of orchids.
There is a pot of orchid on the bedside table, and I don’t know who put it there.
Wei Xun thought of Gu Chi's strange behavior tonight and shook his head and laughed.
He went to so much trouble to get her back to the hotel just to see this orchid?
Wei Xun shook his head and walked to the bathroom to wash up helplessly.
That night, I don’t know if it was because of the orchid or because she was too tired, but she slept very well without any dreams, and slept until 6:30 the next day.
Without opening his eyes, he stretched lazily on the bed, then rolled around twice on the bed holding the quilt. The long-awaited good sleep made Wei Xun in a very good mood.
The moment I opened my eyes, the pot of pure white orchid came into view.
She tapped the orchid petals and smiled.
Wei Xun lay on his side on the bed, looking at the orchid carefully for a while. As he looked, his gaze slowly moved to the navy blue curtains behind the orchid.
The smile paused slightly.
Wei Xun frowned.
She remembered that the curtains in the hotel didn't seem to be navy blue?
Recalling last night's good dream and the previous experience of being disturbed by the curtains with very poor light blocking, Wei Xun suddenly understood everything.
It turns out that the reason why I went to so much trouble to get her to go back to her room was not just to see this simple pot of orchids.
But to let her sleep well.
But how did Gu Chi know that the curtains didn’t block out the light?
For a moment, memories flooded back.
Xiao Shen: "Hurry up and wash up and go to bed. I saw you yawning every day on the set these past two days."
"Daddy kept losing at flying chess with Cancan today. Cancan crashed Daddy's plane back home many times."
Amidst Cancan's chattering in the background, Wei Xun casually said, "The hotel curtains don't block out much light. I'm not used to it, but it will be fine in a few days."
Wei Xun touched the curtain and smiled softly with curved eyebrows.
The author has something to say:
Gu Chi’s guide to pursuing his wife: I remember every word my wife says.
