Zhao Jinxiang reached out and pulled Bai Li closer to him, then lowered his head and kissed his forehead. "I haven't had a hard time. It's you who's had a hard time, wandering alone in a place you don't know..."
At this point, Zhao Jinxiang couldn't help but get teary-eyed again, and Bai Li also couldn't help but get teary-eyed.
It would be a lie to say it wasn't tough. He still remembers how lost and helpless he felt when he first came into this world. However, being able to return here again makes all the hardship worthwhile.
...
After lingering for a while longer, Bai Li patted Zhao Jinxiang on the shoulder, "Alright, let's go out! Nianqing and the others must be getting impatient!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinxiang composed himself and then excitedly pulled Bai Li out.
"How was it, Father? Weren't you surprised?"
As soon as Zhao Jinxiang and Bai Li stepped out of the room, Gu Nianqing saw them and playfully winked at Zhao Jinxiang, asking him a question.
"Surprise, surprise...a really big surprise!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinxiang grinned widely, revealing two rows of large white teeth, and looked at Bai Li with a smitten expression.
Bai Li felt a little embarrassed by Zhao Jinxiang's gaze, so he reached out and pinched Zhao Jinxiang's waist.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Jinxiang averted his gaze, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Seeing this, Bai Li stopped paying attention to him and instead smiled at Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing, saying, "Qingqing, Nanxun, thank you!"
"Uncle Bai Li, you're too kind. We're family, it's only right."
Lin Qing said with a smile, and Gu Nanxun nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li's smile widened. "Yes, we are family. Uncle is mistaken."
"Alright, you two don't need to be so polite. Father, I'm still an unregistered resident this time. You need to hurry up and get me an identity card!"
Gu Nianqing interrupted the polite conversation and said with a smile that this was also the reason why he did not take Bai Li home directly.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it tomorrow!"
When Zhao Jinxiang saw that they were getting down to business, he put away his smile and said...
"Uncle Bai Li, you're not leaving again this time, right? How are things going on your afterlife?"
Lin Qing asked curiously.
"The future? The future is probably holding my funeral right now!"
Bai Li smiled and shook his head.
If there's anything he'd cherish in his later years, it's nothing more than his manager who's been with him since his debut, and the fans who've been with him all along.
However, he had already made a will after completing his mission. Half of his property was left to his agent, and the other half was donated to charity in the name of his fans.
"Holding a funeral? Aren't you dressed as a ghost? What about the corpse from the afterlife?"
After hearing Bai Li's words, Lin Qing asked in confusion.
"The corpse is fake; it was created by the system!"
Bai Li explained.
"Then...how did you die?"
Zhao Jinxiang, who had been listening to the two chatting, suddenly asked cautiously.
"Die? What do you mean, 'dead'? I'm right in front of you, don't you know whether I'm dead or not?"
Bai Li looked at Zhao Jinxiang with an amused expression and said.
"That's good. I was just worried about you."
Zhao Jinxiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then said with a fawning expression.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a glance, then Lin Qing whispered in Gu Nanxun's ear, "I feel like Uncle Bai Li has gone a bit silly since he came back!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun looked up at Zhao Jinxiang and replied in a low voice, "He probably hasn't come to his senses yet!"
Zhao Jinxiang also heard Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing whispering about him, but he didn't pay attention and continued to stare at Bai Lixiao with a lovesick look.
"Alright, the corpse I have in my future life was obtained by the system. I guess the doctor will diagnose it as a sudden heart attack!"
Bai Li smiled and continued to explain.
"Did you complete your mission over there?" Lin Qing asked curiously.
"Yes, the mission was completed, which is why I was able to return safely," Bai Li said casually, as if the mission was just a piece of cake.
"What are the mission details? Can you tell us?" Lin Qing asked curiously.
Bai Li remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering something, before finally speaking: "Actually, it's nothing much. Besides the Grand Slam of Best Actor awards, it's all about Faith Points. I need to collect 10 billion Faith Points before I can come back."
"Ten billion faith points? That's a lot of money!" Lin Qing gasped in surprise, then said with an incredulous expression.
She knew the mission would be anything but simple, but she never imagined it would be this difficult.
"Yes! Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken more than ten years to complete."
Bai Li said with a sigh.
"That's still amazing. Some people can't even achieve the Grand Slam of Best Actor awards in their entire lives, let alone 10 billion faith points!"
Lin Qing shook her head in disapproval and said with admiration.
Zhao Jinxiang, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but puff out his chest proudly. Although he didn't understand what a "Grand Slam of Best Actor" or "10 billion faith points" meant, he could tell how difficult it was to complete this task.
"I have to thank you all, and Nianqing too. Nianqing participated in the 'Wa Zong' competition with me during the summer vacation, which also helped me gain a lot of casual fans."
Bai Li continued with a smile.
"That's because Daddy is amazing! Daddy is handsome and talented, and with me being cute, handsome, and talented, it's only natural that we'd have fans!"
Hearing Bai Li praise her, Gu Nianqing puffed out her chest without hesitation and said.
"Yes, Nianqing is right, our Nianqing is amazing!"
Bai Li smiled and patted Gu Nianqing's head, his face full of tenderness.
When Gu Nianqing saw Bai Li praising her, she quickly became the second Zhao Jinxiang.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I heard from Nianqing that you haven't eaten yet, let's go eat first!"
Lin Qing looked at Gu Nianqing's expression with disbelief and interrupted their mutual praise.
"Yes, yes, let's go eat!" Zhao Jinxiang immediately agreed when he heard that his Bai Bai hadn't eaten yet. After saying that, he pulled Bai Li to go into the space, but he went into the space himself while Bai Li stayed outside.
Unfortunately, they had no choice but to leave the space again.
"Ha ha……"
It was rare to see Zhao Jinxiang embarrassed, and everyone laughed spontaneously.
Zhao Jinxiang touched his nose sheepishly, "I forgot, I can't bring people into the space."
"Ha ha……"
Everyone burst into laughter again upon hearing this.
"Alright, let's go into the space!"
After Lin Qing finished speaking, she pulled Gu Nanxun into the space.
Gu Nianqing pulled Bai Li along and followed closely behind. Seeing this, Zhao Jinxiang also immediately went inside.
