"By the way, Yingyu-jie, there were a few WeChat messages that came in while you were filming just now." The speaker was Fu Yingyu's other assistant, who usually helped her with her bag and clothes.
Fu Yingyu originally thought that her uncle and aunt were looking for her for something, but when she took the phone and looked, she realized that the person who sent her the WeChat message was actually the little child Gu Suisui. Her originally cold and distant eyebrows and eyes softened a bit unconsciously. She clicked on the voice message, and the child's energetic and innocent voice rang out—
"Fu-jie, Fu-jie, I'm back from filming the variety show～"
"Fu-jie, I brought you a little gift from Sishui Ancient City. When are you free? I'll bring the gift over to you (/≧▽≦/)～"
Hao Peng, who was next to her, heard this familiar, cheerful voice and smiled along with it. "Yingyu, this three-year-old girl is quite nice to you. She didn't forget to bring you a gift even when she went to film a show."
The message was sent three hours ago. Fu Yingyu pondered slightly and asked her manager, "Do I not have any scenes tomorrow morning?"
Hao Peng glanced at the production team's schedule and nodded. "You don't have any in the morning; you have one each in the afternoon and evening."
Fu Yingyu originally wanted to call to tell the little child this news, but she glanced at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock. Worried that a phone call would wake her up, she put away her phone and said, "Then help me book a high-speed train ticket for tomorrow morning, the earlier the better. I need to go back to the capital."
Hao Peng thought about what the little girl had said on WeChat just now and could roughly guess what the person in front of him was going to do. He was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly, "...Are you going to see the little child Gu Suisui?"
Fu Yingyu didn't deny it, saying in a light tone, "Yeah." Come to think of it, it had been half a month since she last saw the little one. This was a good opportunity to visit her. She wondered if Suisui had suffered during the filming of Traveling with Babies.
Ke Jingyang was not an easy person to get along with, and she was worried that she would be wronged.
Hao Peng: "It just so happens that I'm also going back to the capital tomorrow to meet with the artist director of Qin Shi Entertainment. If there’s a gift, I can take it for you. You have to film in the afternoon, so there's no need to run back and forth. Stay in the hotel and rest for a while."
Fu Yingyu: "It's just a matter of a few hours back and forth. I won't delay the filming in the afternoon."
Hao Peng understood Fu Yingyu's nature, knowing that once she made up her mind to do something, no one could stop her. He could only start helping her arrange for a high-speed train business ticket and a pick-up car for tomorrow morning.

"Suisui, eat slowly; these are all yours." In a well-hidden cafe, Fu Yingyu took off her sunglasses, revealing a cold and beautiful face.
Gu Suisui ate strawberry cake with a spoon and smiled at the person across from her, saying in a soft voice, "Fu-jie, you're so nice～" The cakes at this store were so delicious; she had never eaten such delicious cakes (/≧▽≦/)～
Fu Yingyu had known how much the little child liked sweets since she was on the production team, so she specifically asked Hao Peng to reserve a spot for her at this cafe and ordered a large table of desserts for Gu Suisui so that she could try everything.
At this moment, the cafe's waiter brought over the drinks that the two of them had ordered. Even though he recognized the superstar Fu Yingyu, he kept his composure, quietly placed everything on the table, and left.
This cafe was very famous in the capital and required advance reservations to enter, so celebrities often patronized it. The quality of the recruited waiters inside was also extremely high, and they wouldn't shout and scream as soon as they saw a celebrity.
Fu Yingyu ordered a glass of hot milk for the little child and coffee for herself. She had gotten up before six o'clock this morning and then took a high-speed train and a car to pick up Gu Suisui from her home to play. She had to rush back in the afternoon, so she needed to drink some coffee to stay awake.
"Don't just keep eating cake; drink some milk too." Fu Yingyu looked at Gu Suisui, who was single-mindedly eating cake, and said with a smile.
However, the extremely curious Gu Suisui set her sights on the cup of coffee in her hand. "Fu-jie, what are you drinking? It smells pretty good."
Fu Yingyu looked at the little girl's bright eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "...Do you really want to drink it?"
Suisui blinked and gave her best puppy-eyed look. "Can I try a sip? Just one sip."
Fu Yingyu smiled and said, "Of course, but this was just brought over, so it's still a bit hot. Remember to blow on it before drinking." Of course, she wouldn't be reluctant to give up a cup of coffee; she was just afraid that the little child wouldn't like it.
Gu Suisui tentatively took a small sip. Her palm-sized face wrinkled into a bun, and she was obviously stimulated by this indescribable taste. She endured the urge to spit it out, trying hard to swallow it, stuck out her tongue, and said pitifully, "It's so bitter, Fu-jie. I don’t dare drink this again." So bitter, so bitter qaQ
Fu Yingyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw the child's disgusted look.
...She had ordered black coffee, and it was the kind without sugar or milk. How could the taste not be bitter?
Fu Yingyu quickly pushed the milk a little closer to her, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "So, you should just drink your milk properly. Children your age must drink more milk to grow taller. Adult coffee is not good." If it weren't for refreshing her mind and keeping her energetic, she actually wouldn't like to drink this kind of black coffee very much.
Gu Suisui, who had been thwarted, no longer had any thoughts about that dark thing and focused on eating the things in front of her.
The good times are always short. Fu Yingyu glanced at her phone and saw that it was almost noon. She felt a little reluctant: "Suisui, do you want to eat anything else? Fu-jie is treating you today; you don't have to save me money." As her fame grew, she had been earning more and more money from filming and commercials in the past two years, but other than sending money home to her uncle and aunt every month, the rest of the money was just a string of numbers in her card. She was usually too busy and had no time to enjoy it.
"Fu-jie, I want to bring a strawberry cake back for Mama to try too." Gu Suisui was simple and innocent in nature and didn't know what politeness was in front of people she knew.
But Fu Yingyu liked Gu Suisui's personality, because she was real and didn't pretend. She did what she wanted to do, ate what she wanted to eat, and didn't beat around the bush with anything she wanted to say. Don't look at this as if it's nothing great, but it was the kind of quality that was most lacking in the circle she was currently in.
Even she herself didn't have it... Maybe she had it before, but the current her was already no different from those around her.
Fu Yingyu saw that the little child didn't forget to think about her mother even when she went out to eat delicious food, and her dark eyes couldn't help but have a bit more envy.
She also missed her mother, but unfortunately, she was no longer in this world. Even if she wanted to see her... she would never have a chance to see her again.
Fu Yingyu had lived with her uncle and aunt since she was in junior high school. Although life was not rich, she was very grateful to her uncle and aunt for raising her. They treated her like their own daughter, even better than their own biological son.
Fu Yingyu was a grateful person and sent money home every month without interruption, even if her uncle and aunt had never spent that money and often called to tell her that they didn't lack money to spend, telling her to save it and keep it for her own use.
Letting such a young child come out to film and earn money, Fu Yingyu initially thought that Gu Suisui's mother was not a good mother, but after seeing her, she realized that she really loved her daughter Suisui.
"Suisui, what about your father?" Fu Yingyu suddenly thought that the little child Gu Suisui seemed to have never mentioned her father to her.
Gu Suisui's movements of eating cake stopped. Thinking of what her mother had said yesterday, she pursed her lips and said in a small voice, "Daddy went to heaven. I haven't seen him either."
When Fu Yingyu heard this sentence, her expression froze for a moment, and then she touched her head and said softly, "I believe that even if Suisui's father is in heaven, he will always bless you and your mother from up there."
Gu Suisui beamed brightly and said firmly, "Mm, I think so too."
