To reward her daughter for successfully getting the role this time, Feng Yaoqin prepared three dishes and one soup for lunch today, all of which were her favorites—sweet and sour pork ribs, fried meatballs, stir-fried shrimp, and mushroom soup with minced meat.
Smelling the delicious food on the table, Gu Suisui couldn't help but gulp.
It all looks so delicious QAQ…
Gu Suisui used to be a cotton candy spirit, so she never needed to eat before, let alone feel hungry.
But after becoming a real human, she found that she not only had a sense of taste but also an inexplicable craving for human food.
"Suisui, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and eat. The food will get cold if you don't pick up your chopsticks." Feng Yaoqin picked up some dishes and placed them into her daughter's pink bowl.
Gu Suisui clumsily picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food in the bowl. Her black and white almond eyes flickered. She took a big bite of a meatball and chewed slowly. Her cheeks bulged slightly, and she looked like a greedy little hamster. She looked cute and adorable, making people want to reach out and pinch her.
As a children's clothing model, Gu Suisui's appearance was undeniably beautiful.
Feng Yaoqin watched her daughter eat with gusto, a doting smile appeared on her lips. She helped her remove a rice grain that accidentally stained the corners of her mouth.
It was rare to see her daughter eat without being picky.
Gu Suisui savored every bite of her first meal as a human. Patting her round belly, she let out a cute little burp.
"Suisui, Mommy has to go out this afternoon. Be a good girl and stay home, okay? And if someone knocks on the door, don't open it to strangers. Mommy has her keys."
Feng Yaoqin, who had already changed into a different outfit, said, and then remembering the movie fees that had just been decided today, she added . "You can watch TV at home. Don't wander off. Mommy will buy you that pretty dress you liked earlier when I get back tonight."
The floral dress Suisui had her eye on was priced at a hefty one thousand yuan at the mall store.
Children at this age grow very quickly, and newly bought clothes often become too small within a couple of months. Feng Yaoqin had been reluctant to spend so much on a single dress, but thinking of the upcoming filming, she gritted her teeth and decided to satisfy her daughter's wish first.
At the mention of a new dress, Gu Suisui, who loved beauty by nature, had bright eyes and asked in an excited baby voice. "As long as I stay home obediently, can I have a new beautiful skirt to wear?"
Feng Yaoqin saw her daughter's excited expression, smiled happily and said: "Of course, when has mom lied to you?"
"Don't worry, Mommy, I won't run around, and I won't open the door to strangers," When she heard that there was a new skirt, she immediately patted her chest and promised.
She had adapted surprisingly well to this whole transmigration thing. She called Feng Yaoqin "Mommy" without hesitation when needed.
To the carefree little marshmallow demon, "Mommy" was just a normal word, no different from calling someone "Big Sister."
Of course, her entire focus was now on the promised pretty dress.
Sister Tree Demon had cultivated for thousands of years and possessed powerful magic. She could change into different clothes every day with just a thought. But Gu Suisui, a little cotton candy spirit, couldn't. She could only rely on Sister Peach Blossom, who earned a lot of money, to occasionally help her out and buy her pretty little skirts.
She hadn't expected this human woman to be so kind, cooking her delicious food and buying her pretty clothes.
...Could this be what it feels like to have a mother?
This feeling isn't bad at all (/≧▽≦/)~

Early in the morning of the second day after signing the contract, Feng Yaoqin took Gu Suisui to the film set.
The film "Dormant" was adapted from a novel of the same name. Filming began in January, and it was now mid-March, with the progress already past the halfway point. The scenes about the male protagonist's childhood were all scheduled to be filmed in the last month.
Because they were filming scenes from the protagonist's childhood, Gu Suisui wasn't the only child actor on set.
With so many people, and dozens of unfamiliar children, the crew couldn't keep an eye on everyone. They wouldn't even know if someone wandered off.
And Gu Suisui, full of curiosity after recently becoming human, was the one who wandered off. She had just squatted down to look at a small wildflower growing in the corner. When she stood up, she realized that everyone was gone, and she didn't know where the make-up room was.
Director Chen was known for keeping a tight lid on his films before their release. Personnel management was strict, and no outsiders were allowed to enter or leave as they pleased. This included the parents of the child actors, so Feng Yaoqin wasn't by Gu Suisui's side today.
"Where is everyone?" Gu Suisui bit her lip, looking at her surroundings in a daze.
She seemed to be lost.
Should I ask an adult?
...Wuwuwu, if only Sister Peach Blossom were here. She had two capable and gentle assistants by her side. Whenever she had a problem, she could ask them for help.
Gu Suisui, the little cotton candy spirit who had been happily adapting to her new life yesterday, suddenly thought of Sister Peach Blossom today. A wave of sadness washed over her as she realized something not-so-good—
I've transmigrated to another world. Does this mean I'll never see Sister Peach Blossom and Sister Tree Demon again??
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved Gu Suisui felt. Now that she was a real human, she didn't have to worry about her body melting if she cried. So, tears welled up in her eyes, and she no longer held back like before.
Gu Suisui often couldn't cry out loud because of her constitution. But her tear ducts were well-developed. Even the slightest emotional fluctuation would bring tears to her eyes. This little habit hadn't changed even after she transmigrated.
"Hey, kid, why are you hiding here crying alone?" A slightly impatient female voice rang out just as the little cotton candy spirit was getting lost in her tears.
Gu Suisui, sensing someone nearby, quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Looking up in the direction of the voice, she saw a beautiful young woman standing there.
The woman wore casual, light blue sportswear. Her eyes held a cold and distant look. In her hand, she held a lit cigarette, a faint trail of smoke rising from its tip.
Gu Suisui blinked, and large teardrops rolled down her cheeks, making her look pitiful. Between sniffs, she whispered, "I...I miss my two sisters."
Fu Yingyu, who couldn't bear the crying just now, thought, ...Where did this crybaby come from? What's there to cry about missing your sisters?
The little girl's crying wasn't the kind of ear-splitting wail that made your head hurt. It was a low, soft sob that wasn't particularly noticeable when people heard it but it made people feel inexplicably soft-hearted with just a glance.
"Alright, kid, don't cry. I have white rabbit milk candy. I'll give it to you if you promise to stop crying." Fu Yingyu stepped on the cigarette butt thrown on the ground, pursed her lips, and spoke in a somewhat stiff tone, trying to coax the child.
At the mention of the white rabbit milk candy in the beautiful sister's hand, Gu Suisui's crying gradually subsided.
Fu Yingyu took a closer look and realized that this little girl who had suddenly appeared was really beautiful and delicate. Her large eyes, still wet from crying, were like a pool of clear spring water, clean and bright.
As an actress, Fu Yingyu often skipped meals to maintain her figure and look better on camera. Over time, she developed hypoglycemia. Her assistant would usually put a few candies in her coat or bag pocket, just in case.
She didn't expect it to come in handy in this situation.
Gu Suisui was very sensitive to human emotions. Since she didn't sense any malice from this sister, she didn't set up any defenses. After thanking her sweetly, she unwrapped the candy and popped the white, plump candy into her mouth.
Seeing the little girl take her candy without any reservation and thank her, Fu Yingyu's originally terrible terrible mood suddenly improved for some reason.
Fu Yingyu was the female lead in the big-budget film "Dormant," and she was the center of attention on set. She had turned off her phone, left her agent and assistant behind, and found a deserted place to stay because she was in a bad mood and wanted some alone time.
Who knew that not long after she had been alone, she would meet a little crybaby who had been crying non-stop for a good ten minutes. Unable to bear it any longer, she came over to stop her.
Savoring the sweet milky taste of the candy in her mouth, Gu Suisui propped her chin on her hand and stared at the beautiful young lady beside her without blinking.
Gu Suisui tasted the sweet taste of milk candy in her mouth, propped her chin on her hands, staring at the pretty sister beside her unblinkingly.
The two, one big and one small, sat down, half a body away from each other, and no one spoke.
Pretending not to notice the little girl's "burning" gaze, Fu Yingyu spaced out for a while before slowly taking out her phone from her pocket. As soon as she turned it on, she saw dozens of missed calls, and then a call came in the next second.
It was her agent.
A flicker of impatience flashed across Fu Yingyu's cold, beautiful eyes. She answered the phone and, hearing the cautious reminder from the other end to go to make-up, said coldly, "I know."
With that, she hung up.
Gu Suisui beside her, saw her stand up and asked crisply, "Pretty sister, are you leaving?""
"Yes, I still have work to do." Fu Yingyu thought for a moment and stuffed the remaining two White Rabbit Milk Candies from her pocket into the little girl's soft little hands. "Wait here and don't move. Someone should come looking for you."
This was the set of "Dormant." No unauthorized personnel were allowed in. Since this little girl could appear here, it meant she was also part of the cast.
A little child was lost over there, it was impossible for the crew to not come over to look for it. They couldn't afford the responsibility of losing it, after all, it wouldn't be easy to deal with the parents of the little child if they made a scene.
"Pretty Sister, you're a good person," Gu Suisui said earnestly, her obsidian-like eyes curving into crescents.
Hearing this, Fu Yingyu was stunned, and suddenly laughed inwardly. How could you be a good person just by giving a few candies and coaxing a few words.
...Sure enough, she is just a naive child who knows nothing.
Over the years, she had done many bad things to climb the ladder of success, things she herself couldn't even keep track of.
Even the female lead role in this big-budget film was obtained by scheming against an actress of the same caliber.
Her body and soul had long since begun to rot from the inside out.
