Xu Xiu received a video call from Xu Zhirang before going to bed.

Before she could ask a few questions, she heard a quarrel over there:

"I'm going to tell mom if you do this to me!"

The little bean's slightly aggrieved crying voice came through the video.

Xu Xiu's heart skipped a beat and he sat up suddenly.

In an instant, the plot of the novel began to flash through my mind.

Almost all the plots prove that the male protagonist dotes on this son who came out of nowhere, and the entire Shen family regards him as a treasure.

Is there something wrong with the plot?

Xu Xiu wanted to fly to the Shen family immediately and take the little kid back:

"Xiaorang, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, tell your mother."

Before she got out of bed, she saw the picture change and Shen Xingyi's face appeared on the screen.

He had probably washed up, his originally neatly-knit hair now lay down smoothly, and his light grey home clothes made him look less fierce.

The iconic gold-rimmed glasses on his face have been taken off, revealing a pair of almond-shaped eyes similar to those of a little kid.

Without any obstruction, the aggression of those eyes spreads blatantly, and the slightly upturned corners of the eyes make people unable to help but indulge in them.

The shock was so strong that Xu Xiu paused for a moment, staring blankly at the father and son who seemed to be having a quarrel in the video.

Shen Xingyi held the struggling little kid in front of him and was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly avoided after seeing Xu Xiu's slightly cool clothes.

Xu Xiu was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to put on his coat. He was only wearing a loose T-shirt as pajamas.

The neckline was a bit large, revealing half of the collarbone and a piece of fair skin.

Shen Xingyi concealed the strange color in his eyes and opened his thin lips slightly:

"Ms. Xu, does he have the habit of playing with his tablet before going to bed?"

"No."

Xu Xiu answered subconsciously.

Seeing the awkward interaction between the father and son, she realized that she had been wrong, so she relaxed and leaned back against the bed:

"Xu Zhirang, tell me, what's going on?"

Xu Zhirang pursed his lips, broke away from Shen Xingyi, and lay on the corner of the sofa with his back to him, whispering:

"Mom, I can't fall asleep without you telling me a bedtime story, so I want to find a story to read by myself. Can you ask him to give me the tablet back so that I can get myself to sleep?"

Xu Zhirang's little face was close to the camera, filling up the entire screen, and his furtive whispers made Xu Xiu laugh.

You don't have to think about it, you can tell he is lying by looking at his rolling eyes.

Xu Xiu suppressed his smile:

"When did mom let you watch the tablet before going to bed? How could you lie to dad? If you want to hear a bedtime story, you can ask dad to tell you."

The little kid opened his mouth, but couldn't think of a better excuse.

In fact, he saw a lot of novel teaching software on the tablet his father gave him, including the hacker-related knowledge he wanted to learn.

So he wanted to study secretly.

But when his father sees him watching the tablet before going to bed, he confiscates it and forbids him to watch it.

In desperation, he said that it was his habit.

Unexpectedly, Dad actually called Mom directly to verify it, so he could only continue to lie to her.

Sure enough, my mother was right. After telling a lie, you need to rely on another lie to maintain it.

Xu Xiu looked at his troubled and lost face and asked:

"Xiaorang, tell mom the truth, what do you want to do with the tablet?"

In her impression, the little kid has no habit of being addicted to computers or tablets, and playing games or watching animations is not enough to attract him.

This time he didn't let go before going to bed, and Xu Xiu was very curious about why.

Xu Zhirang hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.

After hearing his reasons, Xu Xiu was shocked.

Learn computer-related knowledge? !

Although she knew that the cute baby in the novel was a child prodigy, Xu Zhirang had always been a well-behaved and lovable child in front of her, causing her to subconsciously ignore this matter.

This was a bit too much for Xu Xiu.

Shen Xingyi, who was sitting behind Xu Zhirang, heard the entire conversation between the mother and son.

He felt a little unbalanced in his heart that his son was only willing to tell the truth to his mother, but made excuses to himself.

But considering that they had only met officially today, it was normal for his son not to trust him.

After comforting himself, Shen Xingyi spoke to Xu Zhirang who was still mumbling:

"If you want to learn this knowledge, I can ask the best teacher to teach you."

Xu Zhirang looked back at him excitedly:

"really?"

After getting a positive answer, he asked the mother on the screen:

"Mom, is that okay?"

Before Xu Xiu recovered from the shock, he heard that the child's father had easily accepted this matter and was even ready to arrange for a teacher to provide systematic teaching.

Facing Xu Zhirang who was eager to try, she hesitated and said:

"Of course you can, but it might be a bit stressful for you to learn these things at such a young age."

Isn’t it the main purpose of children to play?

Is it really okay to start learning at such a young age?

Shen Xingyi spoke calmly:

"Not anymore. I started learning these things at this age."

Xu Xiu was stunned.

Well, it's her, an ordinary person, who is holding us back.

Xu Zhirang’s wish was fulfilled and he went to bed obediently. He kissed the camera and said good night to his mother.

Just as Shen Xingyi was about to take the phone and say goodbye, he saw Xu Zhirang's short fingers click the hang-up button.

Shen Xingyi's outstretched hand froze and he slowly retracted it.

Forget it.

Anyway, he wasn't familiar with Xu Xiu, so saying goodbye wasn't something he had to do.

After standing in front of Xu Zhirang's bed for a while, Shen Xingyi left the room.

Early in the morning, Xu Xiu arrived at the designated location.

She successfully interviewed for this crew some time ago.

Xu Xiu thought about it and decided that if she wanted to quickly earn her first pot of gold and gain a foothold in the beauty industry, becoming a makeup artist on a film crew was the quickest shortcut.

If she just works as a makeup artist in a photo studio or styling room, she doesn't know when she will be able to complete her career plans.

But there are a lot more opportunities in the crew, and you will come into contact with more people.

That's why she paid special attention to the crew's recruitment.

Originally, the other party didn't want her because she had no relevant experience, but Xu Xiu successfully attracted the attention of the crew leader with her extremely fast makeup speed.

Eventually, she was left behind.

After the relevant personnel gathered, everyone took a car to the crew site.

Xu Xiu is mainly responsible for putting makeup on the extras.

This is a crew for a palace fighting drama, with a large number of palace maids and concubines as extras or supporting roles, so it is very troublesome to do their makeup.

But the director has high requirements and cannot be perfunctory, so he needs stylists to be able to quickly style the extras.

This is also the reason why she was able to be retained despite her fast speed.

The crew was working very tight, and as soon as Xu Xiu arrived on the scene, he started working with his colleagues.

There were nearly a hundred extras sitting on the scene waiting to be dressed up, all of them were palace maids and some background concubines.

After understanding the makeup requirements, Xu Xiu opened her makeup bags and started her first day of work.
