Chapter 38: Suisui Is Naturally Popular

Wen Chi brought Suisui back to the village by car. When getting off the car, he casually wanted to carry Suisui down. Well, this little cub was as independent as always: "I'll do it myself!"

"Are you sure you can?" Wen Chi was a bit doubtful. The step of the MPV they were in was almost half as tall as Suisui.

Suisui snorted in her heart: Who do you look down on? With a light jump, she landed steadily. Looking back, she saw Wen Chi giving her a thumbs up. Suisui's eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile, and she started running quickly with small steps. Her posture clearly showed that she was very familiar with the environment — after staying in the base camp for two or three days, Suisui had gradually gotten used to it and was as comfortable as if she were back in her own territory.

"Suisui!" Not far away, a little girl in a pink flowered dress shouted in surprise. Then, a group of children swarmed over and surrounded Suisui.

"Suisui! Here's some candy for you!"

"Eat this! Chocolate! My dad said it's imported and really delicious!"

"Suisui, do you want to come to my house to watch cartoons?"

...

Suisui was just like a queen enthusiastically supported by her subjects, looking majestic and unshakable.

Wen Chi was dumbfounded. He thought to himself that the outside world had changed in just three days. And Suisui, wasn't she just reluctant to part with him and almost cried?

Xia Kai came up with a smile: "Suisui is just naturally popular. She's the material to be a leader wherever she goes!"

...

Wen Chi glanced at Xia Kai speechlessly and didn't bother to refute.

The young man behind Xia Kai came over and offered his hand: "Brother Wen, let me take your luggage."

Wen Chi turned his head and saw a familiar face, a bit surprised: "Lao Wang, why are you here?"

"I'm your assistant, Brother Wen. It wouldn't be right if I just took the salary and did nothing all day." The young man smiled, and his face with black-rimmed glasses showed a bit of bookishness, looking simple and honest. His name was Wang Qin. When he came to be Wen Chi's life assistant last year, Wen Chi was at the height of his fame. Last month, Wen Chi was hit hard by negative news and fell from the peak overnight. His company and agent abandoned him, and only Xia Kai and Wang Qin stayed by his side. In this fickle world, their choice seemed even more precious. So since then, Wen Chi had treated them with more sincere friendship.

Wen Chi refused flatly: "No need. I have my own hands and feet and can carry it."

Xia Kai glanced at his watch: "It's almost time. Let's go to the airport first."

The moment of parting came too quickly. Wen Chi subconsciously looked at Suisui. Xia Kai noticed his movement and asked, "Going to say goodbye?"

"... Forget it. Don't make her unhappy." Wen Chi didn't want to see the bright smile on Suisui's face disappear. He turned around and was about to get in the car.

Suisui, who was surrounded by the children in the village, seemed to sense something and turned around. Her eyes widened, and she rushed over: "Xiao Chi, Xiao Chi!"

"Don't run!" Wen Chi's heart tightened, fearing that Suisui would fall. But Suisui ran fast and steadily and was in front of Wen Chi in the blink of an eye. She raised her small head, and the little kids following her also raised their heads. Being stared at by so many pairs of clear and bright childish eyes, Wen Chi felt a bit uncomfortable.

"What's up?" He deliberately put on a stern face.

But it had no deterrent effect on Suisui: "Are you leaving now?"

"Yes." Wen Chi was already prepared. If Suisui made a fuss about going with him, he would firmly reject her!

But the next second, Suisui just said "Oh" and turned around without any hesitation, running away with the group of kids, leaving Wen Chi speechless, choking on the words he wanted to say.

Xia Kai couldn't help but laugh out loud. Wen Chi turned his head, staring at Xia Kai with gloomy eyes, emitting a chilly air. Xia Kai quickly made a gesture to shut up and controlled his facial expression.

Only Wang Qin, who had been away for a few days, was confused: "Does Brother Wen have such a good relationship with that little girl?"

Wen Chi: "Just so-so."

Xia Kai: "Of course!"

The three of them suddenly fell silent.

Coincidentally, at this time, Jian Lin came out with a few people. "Xia Kai, wait! Let's go to the airport together!"

The MPV that Wen Chi was in was the program team's car, with enough space, and the remaining empty seats could just fit them.

Xia Kai was a bit surprised: "You're also going back to Beijing? Didn't you say that most of the team would stay to prepare for the next episode?"

It was announced at the end of the shooting at noon that there would be a "small change" in the following shooting. Everyone didn't take it too seriously. For variety shows, it was normal to adjust the rules and shooting methods every episode to create new highlights and attract new audiences.

Jian Lin slightly raised his eyebrows: "The first episode will premiere on Saturday. After all, it's the finished film of the first episode. I have to go back and supervise the editing to feel at ease."

"What about Suisui?" Wen Chi asked hesitantly.

Jian Lin glanced at Wen Chi with an amused look: "Don't worry. Most of the others will stay, and the staff who have been taking care of Suisui these days will also stay with her. By the way, do you want me to push the staff's WeChat to you? If you miss Suisui, you can make a video call or something."

"No need." Wen Chi refused without hesitation. But after two seconds, a look of annoyance flashed across his face, which was obvious to everyone.

Jian Lin and Xia Kai held back their laughter and urged everyone to get in the car.

At this time, someone found that they had left their charging cable and went back to get it. Everyone had to wait in the car for a while.

Wen Chi, as a guest, was sitting in the most comfortable second row. He looked out of the window, trying to find the figure of Suisui who had run away just now.

Jian Lin, who was separated from him by an aisle, saw this and teased: "Can't bear to leave? So, why be so contradictory? I'd better give you the WeChat..."

"Where's Suisui??" Wen Chi suddenly frowned.

Jian Lin craned his neck to look and indeed found that Suisui was missing from the group of children. But Jian Lin wasn't too worried. There were all members of their team nearby, and the villagers were also familiar. It was impossible to lose Suisui.

"Maybe she went to get something to eat." Xia Kai came over and had a similar conclusion. Little cubs were full of energy, and Suisui was especially energetic, running around all day was normal.

Only Wen Chi felt that something was wrong. Suisui's attitude had changed too smoothly. A child who had been insisting on staying with him, how could she accept it so easily? Unless... she had other plans!

Knowing Suisui's action ability well, Wen Chi immediately got up to look for her in the car. Xia Kai and Jian Lin were confused, and the others were also puzzled.

"What are you looking for?"

"Looking for Suisui." Wen Chi's answer made everyone a bit speechless.

Xia Kai said with a smile: "We've been sitting in the car. How could Suisui sneak in?"

Wen Chi thought it made sense and got out of the car. He walked around the car twice and finally focused on the trunk.

Xia Kai, who followed him out, asked: "You don't mean to say that Suisui is here?"

Wen Chi pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He moved the big suitcase away and saw Suisui, who had shrunk herself into a small ball, looking at him with innocent big eyes.
