Rong Si remembered Su Jiu mentioning that she was going to record a show. When he realized that she was not going to move away, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you.”
At this moment, Song Wanqiu walked out and asked with a smile, “Little Jiu, are you going to participate in a show? When are you coming back?”
Su Jiu shook her head. “I don’t know, but it won’t be long.”
Song Wanqiu grinned and passed a bag of biscuits to Su Jiu. “These are some biscuits I baked. You can snack on them along the way.”
“Thank you, Auntie!”
The little girl was so cute that Song Wanqiu could not help but stroke her head.
As Rong Si watched from the side, he suddenly felt an impulse to stroke Su Jiu as well.
It should be like petting a kitten, right?
Knowing that Rong Si was reluctant to let Su Jiu leave, Song Wanqiu dragged him along to accompany Su Shengjing and Su Jiu down the stairs. When they reached the ground floor, they unexpectedly met Sheng Tianci and Sheng Zhiyan. The uncle and nephew pair stood in the alley as if they had waited for a long time.
When Sheng Zhiyan saw Su Jiu come out, he immediately ran over and excitedly shouted, “Little Jiu!
“Look what I brought for you.” He passed a bag to her with such care that it seemed like he was presenting her with a treasure box. “This bag contains fruits, sweets, jelly, biscuits, and chocolate. Uncle said that you two are going to a faraway place. You won’t feel hungry if you bring this with you.”
Sensing the little boy’s sincerity, Su Jiu could not reject him. Hence, she took the bag and flashed him a grin. “Thank you, Big Brother.”
When Sheng Zhiyan saw that Su Jiu had accepted his gift, he became even more delighted. He raised his head and reminded Su Shengjing. “Uncle, you must protect and take good care of Little Jiu. I’m still waiting to play with her. Daddy said that our family has just built a new amusement park, and it’ll be opening soon. It has many tall Ferris wheels. When you guys come back, I’ll bring Little Jiu there!”
Su Jiu thought, Wow, it’s so nice to be rich.
For some reason, Su Shengjing felt very unhappy.
Although this little rascal is only five, why does it feel like he’s trying to pursue my daughter?
He scoffed. “We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
Rong Si stood at the stairway. When he saw how eager Sheng Zhiyan was to please Su Jiu, an unhappy expression appeared on his face. He stubbornly pursed his lips.
Song Wanqiu knew that her son felt a bit jealous. After all, Su Jiu was his only friend; he naturally would not want to share her with anyone else.
She stroked his head and whispered, “Ah Si, I’ll register you in a school in a few days. You must study hard in school and become a successful person when you grow up. You also want to give Little Jiu presents too, right? Since that’s so, you must work hard.”
Rong Si regained his senses and nodded. A determined look flashed across his eyes. “Okay.”
He would study hard and earn a lot of money when he grew up. Then, he would buy anything Little Jiu wanted.

After a two-hour-long flight, Su Shengjing and Su Jiu finally reached their destination.
When they exited the boarding gate, they saw some members of the production crew, who had come to pick them up. They got into the car and reached the hotel after an hour-long car ride.
Su Shengjing realized that he was the first guest to arrive at the place. The other four father-child pairs were not there yet. However, Yang Fangping had arrived long ago. He was excited to see Su Shengjing and Su Jiu.
When he saw Su Jiu, an affectionate grin spread across his cheeks. He walked up to her and said, “Little Jiu, you’re finally here. I haven’t seen you for so long. Do you remember me?”
“I remember. You’re Uncle Yang!”
When Yang Fangping heard the little girl’s cute voice, his face scrunched up, and his smile widened.
He told the father-daughter pair to have a good rest in their rooms tonight. The filming would officially begin tomorrow.
