“Yes, definitely!” Xiao Zhao said excitedly. “Today, Si Kun and I will cook a table full of delicious food! Consider it a congratulatory gift for you two!”

Si Kun smiled and agreed, “That’s right! This is a happy occasion! Shi Xiu’s a good kid. If you don’t take her as your disciple, then we’ll take her ourselves.” Mai Fen rolled her eyes at him and asked, “What would you teach her?”

“Acting, of course! She didn’t have any formal acting training, did she? Don’t you think she’ll be as good as any trained actor with us two teaching her?” Si Kun answered with wide eyes, looking regretful that he didn’t manage to snatch himself a disciple.

Shi Xiu smiled goofily and stated, “You can also be my Master.” With that said, she was about to kneel once more.

Mai Fen pulled her back up and admonished, “Hey, don’t go around kneeling to people. I’ll teach you even if you don’t acknowledge me as your master! This is a serious matter. You just got yourself a Master. Don’t be so quick to kneel and kowtow to another.”

Shi Xiu stuck out her tongue and hastily stole a glance at Ji Fei. Ji Fei didn’t care about such formalities. He was just really happy to find a kid who liked carving so much.

Xiao Zhao pulled Si Kun over to discuss their lunch menu. Mai Fen told Hai

Hua, “Let’s wash and sort out the vegetables.” She then instructed the others, “Nlao znao, 51 Kun, tell us wnat you need arter you decide on tne menu, ancl we’ll prepare the ingredients. Yan Tang, treat the wounds on Shi Xiu’s hand.”

Yan Tang reached out and tapped Shi Xiu’s head. “Come on, troublemaker!” Though her words may seem impatient, she didn’t sound unhappy; her tone and actions were quite different from her cold image.

Shi Xiu giggled, followed her, and remarked, “Yan Tang, I want to learn the guitar from you. You look so cool when you play the guitar!”

Yan Tang glanced at her gloves and replied, “That’ll have to wait until your hand heals first.”

Shi Xiu bounced up to her and insisted, “It’s fine. The wounds don’t hurt much anymore.”

Hai Hua smiled as she watched them leave. Yun Liu was also smiling, but her smile was a little strained. However, she knew how to present herself before the camera. Therefore, no matter which angle the camera swept past, Yun Liu would always be quietly smiling.

Hai Hua saw her and smilingly told her, “Yun Liu, I’ll leave the job of introducing our little ‘Wu Wei Residence’ to you. We’ll be busy with dinner preparations.”

“Alright, Ms. Hai Hua,” Yun Liu responded obediently. The screen once again filled with bullet comments.

[Oh wow! Shi Xiu is literally the group’s favorite. Ah! I also want such a fun and cute sister!]

[Who is that woman? She’s so arrogant—but that attitude is so cool!]

[You don’t know who she is? Man, you suck. Just search Yan Tang on the Internet. She’s the first lead singer of the band ‘Honey.’ When she sings, her voice is amazing!]

[You just exposed your age. Those who’ve heard Yan Tang’s songs must be in their thirties or forties now, right?]

[So what? Yan Tang’s fans may have aged, but they’re not dead!]

[I love our little princess Shi Xiu so much. She’s truly a princess! Did you see how her brother protected her at her movie premiere and called out her slanderers? She’s so lucky!]

[Speaking of which, what did she carve? Why didn’t anyone show it to the cameras? Was it because her carving was terrible, and everyone else was saying those things just to be nice?]

[No way! Now that’s just being insulting to Mr. Ji Fei! He is a leading figure in the Academy of Fine Arts!]

[That’s right! Forget about getting a ‘not bad from Mr. Ji; it’s already the highest affirmation if he took several glances at your work and didnt dismiss it!]

[Is he really that incredible? Does that mean Shi Xiu’s carving is pretty good?]

[It must be. Didn’t you see him acknowledging her as his disciple right on the spot?]

[I want to see Shi Xiu’s work.]

[I want to see Shi Xiu’s work.]

[I want to see Shi Xiu’s work.]

This sentence was neatly arranged as they appeared repeatedly on the screen. Xu Yun couldn’t help but smile.

“Shi Xiu is really clever! ” Gu Man hurriedly commented. “How is she so good at everything?”

Xu Yun smiled and replied, “That child never could keep her focus on one thing for long. She likes everything; once she likes something, she will seriously study it. However, her attention span usually doesn’t last long, and she’ll go on to another subject once she loses interest. I’m curious to see if she’ll persist in her new interest this time as she even went so far as to kowtow and got herself a master.”

Han Yuan frowned. “1 don’t know what that child was thinking! How can she acknowledge a master so simply? She should’ve at least gotten her brother to investigate the man before doing so!”

Xu Yun, however, wasn’t concerned. “There’s no need for that. As long as she studies attentively, she can acknowledge anyone more capable than her as her master.”

Han Yuan felt a little uncomfortable; Xu Yun’s equable approach made Han Yuan seem materialistic.

Lin Yu gently stated, “Auntie Xu, you’re hoping Shi Xiu will find something she likes to do so that she’ll stick to it, right?”

Xu Yun nodded, her eyes never leaving the screen. “That’s right! She has always been flighty and uncertain of her future.”

Lin Yu smiled as she pushed the pistachio nuts she peeled toward Xu Yun and said. “Don’t worry. Shi Xiu is still young..”
