Chapter 15
When Gu Qingyue saw Qiuqiu again the next day, she felt a little nervous.
Last night, he stayed up all night studying a series of books, including "How to Be a Good Mother," to catch up on his knowledge of how to get along with children.
And she received complaints from her assistant, Xiao Song.
Xiao Song received a task late at night to find parenting information. After thinking for a long time, he asked in confusion, "Boss, are you going to play a mother in your next drama, dressed as a woman?"
Mr. Gu very politely handed him a bloodstained knife.
Regardless, Gu Qingyue felt she had learned quite a bit. But when it came to actually using that knowledge, it felt like she was taking an exam.
Gu Qingyue was on high alert in the exam room, but the question setter, Qiuqiu, did not play by the rules at all.
Yesterday, Qiuqiu looked at Gu Qingyue with disdain, but today, upon seeing him, she smiled and said, "Good morning, Uncle Gu."
Gu Qingyue almost didn't hear clearly: "What did you call me?"
Qiuqiu blinked her big eyes: "Uncle Gu."
Gu Qingyue felt as if she had spent most of the night reviewing advanced calculus, only to find that the exam questions were all about how one plus one equals what?
Although he didn't know why overnight, before he even had a chance to do anything, Qiuqiu's attitude towards him changed drastically. Although she still didn't call him "Dad," being able to call him "Uncle" was already a big step forward!
Gu Qingyue was to leave in the morning to meet the film crew in Chengdu. After that, the crew would travel to the mountains. The crew planned to meet at a designated location and rest for a day before officially starting the second phase of filming.
Qiuqiu transformed into a curious child again, constantly asking, "Where is the mountain? Is it fun inside the mountain? Are there big bad wolves in the mountain?"
Gu Qingyue patiently replied, "The mountain is in Sichuan Province, and there are many novel things that you can't see in the city. It's very fun. As for whether there are big bad wolves, I don't know, but in some places in Sichuan Province, there are giant pandas, which are much cuter than big bad wolves."
Qiuqiu was listening with great interest, but suddenly felt a headache, and then a lot of information rushed into her mind.
Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment before she fully realized what was happening.
She's reminded of the plot of that novel again!
Whenever it came to a crucial moment, she would know some of the plot details from the novel.
Just like when she first met Ye Sisi, she knew in her dream that very night that Ye Sisi was the female lead in the novel. And when she encountered the thug with the knife last time, she suddenly remembered the plot of the novel.
This time, the time is just as tight as last time; the plot of the novel is about to unfold!
The root of this matter lies with Gu Qingyue, who is about to travel to Sichuan Province.
In the novel, an accident also occurred during the filming of "Super Cute" in the ancient town, and the filming of the program in the countryside was also ended early. Jiang Xueru chose to return to her home in Haishi.
Gu Qingyue also rushed back to Hai City the day after the incident, just like what happened in reality.
The next day, when Gu Qingyue went to the mountains to continue filming, strange phenomena suddenly occurred.
The second phase of filming required the crew to be in the deep mountains and forests. This demanding director has always preferred to use primitive natural environments, so he previously went deep into the desert of Northwest China where there was no signal, and this time he also went deep into the remote mountains where few people go.
The specific shooting location was selected after a period of time with a local guide. It was an abandoned old village with few dangerous creatures nearby, and it was conveniently located near the main road, making it suitable for setting up camp and shooting.
On the same day, just as Gu Qingyue arrived in the village, a landslide occurred, and Gu Qingyue was buried forever in the landslide while trying to save others.
After the incident, Jiang Xueru withdrew from the show's recording and even died of depression not long afterward.
In an instant, Qiuqiu seemed to sense Jiang Xueru's sadness and pain, the kind of feeling that makes it hard to breathe.
She can't let that happen!
She couldn't let her mother end up like that!
She can't let that weirdo go to Sichuan Province!
Gu Qingyue noticed that Qiuqiu was acting strangely and waved her hand in front of her: "What's wrong?"
Qiuqiu immediately grabbed his hand, "Uncle, can we not go to Sichuan Province today?"
His tone was very anxious.
Gu Qingyue was surprised and a little happy that his hand was suddenly grabbed. "Qiuqiu has finally realized how good your uncle is. Your uncle also wants to stay and keep you company, but filming is important. I'll come back to play with you after filming is over."
But Qiuqiu was very anxious.
"Can you leave tomorrow?"
Gu Qingyue shook her head: "I'm sorry, Qiuqiu, the entire production schedule can't be delayed because of me."
His trip to Haishi today has already delayed the progress somewhat.
Qiuqiu knew that being anxious was useless; the most important thing now was to prevent the strange uncle from leaving.
But she couldn't say she knew what was going to happen.
Putting aside the fact that this is hard to believe, the live stream is still going on. If Qiuqiu reveals that she has special abilities, she might be kidnapped by bad guys.
Qiuqiu frowned, wondering if there was any other way.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her—she could fake being sick!
When a child at the orphanage got sick, the caregivers there would take care of them for a long time. If Qiuqiu pretended to be sick and clung to the strange uncle, preventing him from leaving, he definitely wouldn't leave!
Once she understood, Qiuqiu immediately grabbed Gu Qingyue with one hand and clutched her stomach with the other, saying, "Qiuqiu's head hurts so much!"
Fearing it wouldn't be effective enough, Qiuqiu added, "Dad!"
Gu Qingyue was stunned by the word "Dad" and didn't react for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xueru came over and touched Qiuqiu's forehead. Feeling that there was nothing wrong, she asked her, "Is there anything else that hurts?"
Qiuqiu shook her head.
After shaking his head, he realized that wouldn't work. If they thought he was alright, Gu Qingyue would definitely leave.
So he covered his nose with his hand, sneezed loudly, and then made a very uncomfortable expression.
Qiuqiu is quite experienced at faking illness; she used to do it often when she was in the orphanage.
Jiang Xueru now truly believed it. Holding Qiuqiu's little hand, she said to Gu Qingyue, "I'll take Qiuqiu to the hospital. You go to the film set first."
After all, she had no experience in taking care of children, so it would be safer to go to the hospital if anything happened.
Gu Qingyue also agreed with her approach.
But upon hearing this, Qiuqiu pulled Gu Qingyue even tighter, so tight that he couldn't shake her off.
Gu Qingyue and Jiang Xueru both looked at the hand that Qiuqiu was holding tightly, and fell silent.
Yesterday, Mingqiu was indifferent to Gu Qingyue, but today she doesn't want to let go of his hand.
Jiang Xueru bent down and said, "Qiuqiu, be a good girl. Mom will take you. He has to leave for the film set."
Qiuqiu: I won't listen!
She grabbed Gu Qingyue's leg and wouldn't let go, starting to act like a spoiled brat.
Anyway, those kids have really thick skin!
Qiuqiu stared with her big, bright eyes, so tender and lovely that they evoked feelings of pity in anyone who saw her.
Jiang Xueru couldn't say anything more, and then felt embarrassed towards Gu Qingyue, "Qiuqiu is usually very well-behaved, but she might be feeling unwell today and insecure, which is why she's acting like this."
Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It's alright. It's rare for Qiuqiu to like me so much today, so I'll go with you." After saying that, she hugged Qiuqiu tightly.
Jiang Xueru: "Then what about your film crew?"
"I'll call the production crew. I can only go there tonight or tomorrow."
"Won't this delay the progress?"
Gu Qingyue scratched his head. "Actually, the original plan was to move to the mountains next week, but during our time in the desert, the crew worked overtime every day, and the filming schedule was brought forward a lot. We finished a few days ahead of schedule, so missing one day today won't have a big impact."
Jiang Xueru was very confused: "Isn't normal filming enough? Why do we have to work overtime and stay up all night?"
Gu Qingyue: ......
That's all so I can come back for one more day!
But he looked at Jiang Xueru's puzzled expression.
Well, it's too early to talk about that now.
After getting on the bus, Qiuqiu felt a little more relaxed.
They've already tricked people into getting on the bus, so they probably won't go to the mountains anymore.
But she was only slightly relieved. Qiuqiu still held on tightly, afraid that if she let go, Gu Qingyue would run away.
Jiang Xueru wanted to pull Qiuqiu into her arms, but Qiuqiu held on tightly and refused to let go.
Jiang Xueru suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
So she asked Gu Qingyue, "What kind of sleeping potion did you give Qiuqiu? How come she doesn't even recognize me, her mother, after just one night?"
Gu Qingyue didn't understand either, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Maybe it's because I'm handsome."
Jiang Xueru: ......
Upon hearing this, Qiuqiu almost couldn't help but complain.
What a shameless adult!
......
This morning, Jiang Xueru hadn't had time to turn on the live stream after Qiuqiu got up, so the live stream room was naturally not turned on after she left the house.
The production team had not arranged for a cameraman to accompany them beforehand. Although they had communicated that they were going to the hospital, the live broadcast had to be temporarily interrupted.
Those netizens who were unaware of this incident saw that the live stream had been dark all night and still hadn't turned on when it was supposed to be in the morning, and they started cursing the super cute official account again.
Officials often feel aggrieved.
After communicating with Jiang Xueru and explaining the situation, we decided to have a short meeting.
After all, it wouldn't be good to disappear for a whole day while the show was being recorded. Qiuqiu seemed fine, so Jiang Xueru started a live stream on her phone.
[Is Qiuqiu okay? How come she got sick after just one night?]
Qiuqiu seemed to be in good spirits, so how did she get sick?
Upon hearing this comment, Qiuqiu immediately sneezed again.
Acting can't stop!
The viewers in the live chat immediately started expressing their sympathy.
However, seeing that Qiuqiu was most likely just having a cold, everyone was relieved. After saying goodbye, Jiang Xueru turned off the live stream.
Qiuqiu's illness was actually feigned; there was nothing seriously wrong. It was just that the weather had been changing a lot recently, and in the end, the conclusion was that she had caught a cold because of the slight drop in temperature.
Qiuqiu was very happy; she had finally managed to get away with it!
She was terrified of being exposed at the hospital!
Not only will they be unable to stop Gu Qingyue, but they will also have to expose their lies.
Private hospitals offer good confidentiality, and Jiang Xueru was worried that Qiuqiu might have other discomforts, so she simply let her rest in the ward first.
After settling in, Gu Qingyue glanced at the time again.
"I can still make it on the next flight. Since Qiuqiu is alright, I'll be going now."
Jiang Xueru had no objections, but Qiuqiu immediately jumped off the bed upon hearing this and grabbed Gu Qingyuan, saying, "Don't go! You promised you wouldn't leave!!!"
Her eyes still looked pitiful, which made people feel very sorry for her.
Jiang Xueru, who was standing next to her, felt a pang of envy.
Gu Qingyue finally gave in, "Alright, alright, I won't leave."
Qiuqiu appeared aggrieved on the surface, but was secretly delighted inside.
Today was another day I successfully cheated!
Qiuqiu appeared in my dream last night, and receiving the message today did take a toll on my mental energy. So, my headache today wasn't entirely an act.
She was afraid that she would sneak away again after falling asleep, so she originally wanted to keep her eyes open and not want to sleep. But when she got to the hospital bed, her eyelids just wouldn't cooperate and kept fighting to stay open.
Qiuqiu tried to hold on for a long time but couldn't anymore, and eventually fell asleep.
When I woke up, I didn't know how much time had passed; the sky outside the window had already turned gray.
Qiuqiu felt like she had slept for a very long time. When she looked up, she found that Gu Qingyue was no longer beside her.
Qiuqiu was extremely flustered and couldn't find him in the room until she saw Jiang Xueru push the door open and come in.
Qiuqiu immediately jumped out of bed, "Where is Daddy? Don't let Daddy go to the mountains!"
Seeing how anxious she was, Jiang Xueru replied, "He didn't leave; he's outside taking a phone call."
Following Jiang Xueru's gaze, Qiuqiu saw Gu Qingyue answering a phone call.
Only then did I feel relieved.
After Gu Qingyue finished the call, her expression turned slightly unpleasant.
Seeing that his expression was off, Jiang Xueru asked, "Are you going back a day late? Is there something wrong with the film crew?"
Gu Qingyue took a deep breath. "It's fine if I go back to the set a little later, but if I go back a day earlier, something might happen."
Jiang Xueru: ?
Gu Qingyue smiled, hugged Qiuqiu tightly, and said happily, "My darling Qiuqiu, your illness came at just the right time!"
Jiang Xueru: ? ? ?
Gu Qingyue took a deep breath and explained.
It turns out that the entire film crew was going to stay in the abandoned village where they were preparing to film tonight.
However, because Gu Qingyue had something to do at the hospital and would be a day late, the director simply gave everyone a day off.
We'll rest in the city for a day first, and then head to the abandoned village the next day to prepare for filming.
However, just now, a landslide occurred near the abandoned village that was originally intended for filming, and the village was also affected, with many areas being buried directly.
Fortunately, no one was in the village when the incident occurred. Apart from the loss of some set design funds, there were no casualties.
If it weren't for Gu Qingyue's delay, most of the film crew would probably have been there when the landslide occurred.
At that point, it won't just be a matter of minor economic losses.
Just imagining it sends a chill down my spine.
Qiuqiu secretly raised the corners of her mouth with pride.
Gu Qingyue was so happy that she wanted to kiss Qiuqiu on the cheek, but Qiuqiu dodged away with a look of disgust.
Qiuqiu pointed at Gu Qingyue's mouth: "Tie the beard!"
Gu Qingyue: ?
Wasn't he just calling for his father? Wasn't he holding her hand all day?
Are kids these days so fickle?
Gu Qingyue felt very wronged.
He clearly doesn't have a beard!
Qiuqiu was amused when she heard Qiuqiu's thoughts.
Although she was faking her illness, Gu Qingyue took good care of her all day long.
Qiuqiu can sense other people's sincerity and is willing to respond with the same sincerity.
This uncle is definitely not a bad person at all.
She really likes it!
Qiuqiu leaned over and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
