"Sis, where are you taking me to eat?"
From the moment his sister said she would fulfill her promise to treat him to something yesterday, Qiu Ge's excitement had continued until now.
He skipped along the road, grinning foolishly, as if afraid others wouldn't know how happy he was.
"We'll eat whatever you want to eat."
Slightly overwhelmed by her brother's question, Qiu Xi decided to just go with his preference.
The kid was acting like a child, asking a million questions, all revolving around one core issue. If he kept asking, she would go crazy.
No wonder they say the essence of humanity is a repeater. Qiu Ge was a perfect example now.
Hearing this, Qiu Ge's eyes lit up as if he had received an imperial decree. Since his sister had said so, he wouldn't hold back.
"Grilled fish! I want grilled fish!"
"Alright!"
The grilled fish I've been dreaming of, here I come~
The effect was remarkable. The rest of the way, there was finally no Qiu Xuanzang reciting scriptures by his side, and his head felt much more comfortable.
"Sis, I heard Cousin Xuan Ming is coming back."
While happily eating, Qiu Ge, who had nothing else to talk about, suddenly remembered some tidbits he had overheard from his parents a couple of days ago and told his sister.
"Hmm? So what if he's back?" wap.kanshu伍.net
At this point, Qiu Xi hadn't yet grasped what her brother was trying to convey.
"No, it's that he's coming back to live permanently."
"But didn't Brother Xuan Ming just graduate and get a really good offer?"
"Yes, but before he even started, his superior gave him a hard time. Later, he found out it was to make way for a relative."
Hearing this, Qiu Xi finally understood. She paused, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Qiu Ge with a suspicious expression.
"Where did you hear that? How come I didn't know?"
It didn't make sense! If such a thing were to be said, her parents would have told her first!
"......I......"
"What is it, just say it."
"I was eavesdropping......"
The more he said it, the quieter his voice became. He started with full confidence and a loud voice, but by the end, he was completely silent.
"......"
She wondered what her parents would think when they found out.
"But I didn't do it on purpose, I was just passing by! I overheard it by accident."
"Okay, I didn't say you did."
"Mhm mhm."
His chewing, which had been stiff, became much more lively after hearing these words.
Delicious! So delicious!
However, after this topic, Qiu Xi started eating with a distracted air.
Her family and her aunt's family had always been close. Just as she saw her nephew was about to achieve something great, such an incident would surely make her aunt unhappy.
No! She had to ask her parents about it when she got back.
That evening, at the Qiu residence—
"Mom, Dad, is Cousin Xuan Ming coming back?"
"Xiao Xi, how did you know?"
Her parents initially thought their daughter wanted to talk about moving house, as it had been quite some time since the renovation was completed.
But they hadn't expected it to be this matter, and the couple hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to explain.
"I just know, so just tell me directly."
"Honey, why don't we just tell her,"
Seeing the situation, Dad Qiu felt it was impossible to keep it a secret any longer, so it was better to just say it.
"Fine, let's tell her......"
With a sigh, Mom Qiu's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"What?!!!"
She had originally thought her cousin had just lost his job, but she never expected that during a conflict, he would get injured. In the end, the other party, to quell the matter, had to pay a large sum of money.
"Yes, so your cousin didn't want to stay there anymore. He just wants to come back and look around, and then find something else."
"That's good too. Although Jin Hai City can't compare to where he was, it's still his home base, and his family is here."
"Yes, yes, your aunt and I also thought so. We're just worried about Xuan Ming..."
"Oh! Don't you worry, I think Cousin Xuan Ming definitely has his own ideas. He's not the kind of person you think he is."
After clarifying the situation, Qiu Xi actually felt relieved. After all, her cousin wasn't just a delicate scholar as he appeared.
She had experienced it since she was little. If this were in a novel, he would undoubtedly be the secretly scheming villain.
She dared to believe that if she asked him privately when he returned, he might even say, "This matter is getting more and more interesting!"
Thinking about it, Qiu Xi felt as if the person was standing right in front of her.
Suddenly shaking her head, it was too real.
"Alright, Mom and Dad, you can tell Aunt. Everything will be fine, you're just worrying too much."
"Really?"
"Otherwise? If it were really as you say, would Cousin Xuan Ming tell you?"
"This... that seems to be the case..."
"Mhm mhm."
Hearing his daughter's words, Dad Qiu nodded. It did seem to make sense.
"Then why don't... we tell Xian Yi?"
"I think that's a good idea, so they don't worry too much."
"Okay."
Seeing her parents, who didn't even acknowledge her as a living person and turned to make a phone call, Qiu Xi didn't mind. She went to update her cousin.
That's right! As soon as she returned yesterday, she had contacted her cousin. Her cousin hadn't told her what the matter was, only asked her to convey his message.
Now that her task was complete and she understood the whole story, she could naturally make a graceful exit.
......
Night, Drama Group Chat—
"Come on, everyone, come out and report on your work~"
Since Qiu Xi had taken on the post-production work for everyone, they only started feeling the urgency when the summer vacation work began. They had to report their work progress in the group chat every week.
"Coming, coming. We've already compiled the materials and ideas regarding the music."
"Us too!"
"......"
Qiu Xi was impressed by everyone's speed. They were truly working together with one heart!
However, she wasn't lagging behind either. After returning, although she spent most of her time busy with renovations, she hadn't slacked off on her daily systematic learning.
This skill was almost ready to be completed in these past two days.
"I'm almost done too. After I organize the materials you gave me, we should be able to complete the post-production before school starts."
"Wow~ That's not easy!"
"Is the light of hope finally here?!?!"
"Sister Xi! It's up to you!"
As soon as Qiu Xi said this, the group chat erupted like boiling water, with messages popping up one after another.
It was too difficult! They had been at it for almost a month. If no good news came out, let alone people, the group would probably explode.
"Since that's the case, then everyone can relax a little and start enjoying their summer vacation~"
......
"Beep!"
"Assessment passed, Film and Television Post-production Training Course completed!"
This all-nighter was worth it!
Sleep~
