The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 232 Winter Vacation

In the classroom,

The Xie Zhi (a mythical beast) pulled out the stacked test papers one by one, read out the scores, and handed them to the students who came up on stage.

All 36 students in the class quickly received their graded exam papers. In this final exam, all the students in the class showed great improvement.

When Qiong Xiaoqi heard his results, he was extremely excited!

He has risen to prominence!

The beast, who usually struggles to stay above the passing grade, now feels like it's in a dream to hold a test paper with scores over 90 in every subject.

As soon as Xie Zhi left the classroom, he immediately pulled all his classmates together and showed off his dazzling scores: 94 in Chinese, 91 in Math, and 92 in English. His face was just like that of a smug little man.

"Hahaha, look! I am indeed incredibly intelligent. I have achieved this level of growth in an instant after a sudden enlightenment. I will definitely make even greater progress in the future and leave you all far behind."

"It's not as amazing as you make it out to be! It's clearly our doing!" Tianlu said, clearly indignant. He wouldn't admit it, he absolutely wouldn't admit it! He'd actually been forced into this position by this guy?!

"The whole class has improved; it must be because of the morning ritual, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Hmph, you haven't even improved yourself, so why do you claim it's all your credit?" Qiong Xiaoqi slammed his head down and stomped his foot on the bench.

"Besides, I'm also a divine beast. Even if my luck isn't as strong as yours, it won't be any worse, right? It wasn't like that before. This means that even if it has something to do with you this time, it's not that much. It's definitely still my own talent and hard work!"

"You! I...you!"

Tianlu was speechless for a moment, his face turning red with anger. This was the part he was least suited for: verbal battles.

Qiong Xiaoqi was overjoyed when he spread his wings, but the next second he was betrayed by his brother Tao Xiaowu.

"So you do have some self-awareness, huh? You used to always make excuses for every exam."

One sentence hits you right in the heart!

Qiong Xiaoqi nearly fell off the bench. "Can't you find a different target for your lousy mouth? Why are you always targeting our own brothers? Why don't you direct your firepower at them?!"

A basketball quietly appeared at the classroom door. Amid the noisy environment, a calm voice drifted into the ears of the beasts, "Qiong Xiaoqi, come to the office."

"What?!!"

Having just been betrayed by his brother, Qiong Xiaoqi was struck by lightning once again. Scenes of being dragged into the office and forced to write self-criticisms, even being brutally stabbed in the kidneys, and the vivid image of his chrysanthemum flashed before his eyes!

The beasts looked at him strangely, and even the sullen Tianlu was taken aback and asked, "You...? Cheated?"

"How could that be! No, absolutely not! I was called on this time not because of cheating. I swear to God, I didn't even have time to cheat before I got the answer!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Tian shivered and subconsciously looked out the window. The sky was cloudless and a clear blue.

He believed it immediately!

He actually swore an oath to the heavens in front of the third leader and nothing happened. If this isn't true, what is?

"Oh right, and Bai Jie, Tian Lu..." The three brothers from the basketball team outside the door belatedly announced the names of the three little fierce ones, the Inari fox siblings, and Walnut, and then said, "You guys come along too."

It turns out I wasn't the only one called away.

Qiong Xiaoqi's tense nerves relaxed and he fell off the chair. Since so many beasts wanted to go there, it probably wasn't his problem.

He scrambled to his feet and saw the somewhat surprised expressions on the faces of the surrounding beasts.

They left the classroom together, and on the way to the office, Qiong Xiaoqi finally had the leisure to ask, "By the way, why did you single out my name and call it out first?"

"Oh, I'm used to it."

"I...!" Qiong Xiaoqi almost blurted out a curse in front of his clone.

What a powerful and yet utterly powerless reason!

……

The office door creaked open, and Xie Zhi, who was on the phone, turned to look at the person opposite him and said, "Oh, they're here. The director is here to talk to them."

Upon hearing that it was about matters related to the film crew, Bai Jie readily took the phone.

"Hello? Is this Bai Jie?"

"Um, what can I do for you, Director?"

"Oh, we're planning to hold a banquet before the Lunar New Year..."

Listen to Puss in Boots' detailed explanation.

After the New Year, everyone will go back to their own homes. Before that, they plan to call over all the animals they can to have a feast together.

Many actors don't usually have any contact outside of filming, so this opportunity was a chance to get to know each other better.

"A feast? Great, great!" Tianlu had been eavesdropping nearby, and he only caught the news that he could attend the feast.

Upon hearing this, Qiong Xiaoqi's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed, "I think it's no problem. Don't forget me then, our whole family will go together."

He spoke on behalf of the ferocious beasts, and the three beasts on Walnut's side were all children, so there was no reason for them to miss out on this fun.

"Walnut wants to go too!"

"Fuzai also wants to go and see."

Bixie nodded along, mingling with the beasts. He had no objection to attending the banquet, and it was also a good thing that he wouldn't have to cook for himself.

He watched as Bai Jie agreed to the banquet. Finally, the person opposite seemed to say something else. Bai Jie turned on the speakerphone, and Puss in Boots' voice came through clearly.

"That talisman, I'll have to trouble you with the food at the banquet."

The warding-off-evil gesture suddenly stopped.

Is it too late for him to regret it now?

There were so many beasts in the crew that he had to cook for them, not to mention many mythical beasts and monsters whose appetites were much greater than their actual size.

Under the silent gaze of the evil spirit, Bai Jie spoke a few more words with Puss in Boots and set a time.

Since some of the crew members are busy with work in other places, they need to be given enough time to handle their affairs and get here. The crew gathering will begin in three days.

After discussing the matter, Bai Jie handed the phone back to Xie Zhi, and the group of beasts returned to the classroom.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Puss in Boots put down his phone, and Xiaohang reminded him at the right moment, "You've finished the call, come over quickly, we're about to start filming."

"Oh, here we come."

The black cat transformed into the black and white panda it had appeared before and ran over.

After that, filming for the final scenes of the character Ao Ao was completed, and the series was officially wrapped. Ao Ao will never appear on screen again.

To commemorate the role he played, Puss in Boots also asked TuTu to make a set of sample dolls and send them to the toy factory to manufacture a batch for shipment.

If it sells well, we'll continue production; if it doesn't, we'll stop. After all, it's just a commemorative item. If it really just sits unsold in the warehouse, we can simply give it away as a gift to people in the production crew.

"Ah~ all done!"

Puss in Boots stretched lazily. It was getting late, and she had finished all her work for the day. Feeling completely relaxed, she took the car home to sleep.

A night without words...

On the second day,

Pixiu in the home.

Bai Jie was woken up by the shaking of the Four-Unlikes.

"Little Sun, wake up! We're going back to Daddy and Mommy's house."

"Hmm...uh...uh...I'll get up now..."

Still half asleep, I climbed out of bed and went to wash up. Wiping my face with a wet towel, I felt much more awake.

He finished tidying himself up and walked out of the bathroom yawning. Tianlu, full of energy, rushed over and grabbed him, "Baijie, hurry up! Father said he prepared a golden ball for us!"

The family of four set off as dawn broke. The ancient, carved stone gate opened, and they were warmly greeted by the First Qilin.

"Hehehe, the sons are back? Come in, come in! Your brothers and sisters have come home!"

"Father!"

Tianlu buried his head in Shi Qilin's arms, nuzzled against him, and raised his eyes, which sparkled with excitement.

"Hehehe, is it delicious?"

“They’re all inside. Your mother has prepared everything for you.”

"oh oh!"

Upon hearing this, Tianlu immediately jumped to the ground and dashed into the Qilin Cave. Baijie and Bixie didn't even have time to speak before they quickly greeted him and followed.

After scare away the three Pixiu, the First Qilin's smiling expression changed, and he pulled away the Four-Faced Beast.

"Hey hey hey hey hey Daddy?"

Reaching a corner, the First Qilin excitedly released its claws, turned its head, and asked, "How's it going, eldest son? After living together for so long, what's the progress with the three little Pixiu?"

Faced with expectant eyes, the four-legged creature pawed at the ground with its hind legs, feeling utterly embarrassed. "Father, what are you saying? The plum blossom, sun, and blue circle are my younger brother!"

"No progress? Oh dear, eldest son, you have to be more ambitious! Your father taught you that pursuing someone requires relentless persistence and shamelessness. That's what your mother did back then..."

"Hey, there's progress! There's progress! There's progress!" Si Bu Xiang hurriedly raised his hands in surrender; he really didn't want to hear his parents' love story anymore.

"Really? How's it going, eldest son?" Shi Qilin's expression instantly changed as he rubbed his paws together with a maternal smile.

"Uh...we slept together..."

"Sleeping?! Eldest son, you're so capable! Which one, which one?"

"Um... I slept with the other two, Plum Blossom and Plum Blossom."

"Huh? Huh?! Huh!??" The First Qilin took a step back, looking up and down at the timid and turning-headed Four-Faced Beast with disbelief in its eyes.

After a long pause, he asked with difficulty, "Really...really? Eldest son, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Um……"

The First Qilin fell silent, a long, drawn-out silence...

The four-legged creature felt something was off, but its lack of emotional intelligence prevented it from figuring it out.

After an unknown amount of time, finally...

The First Qilin patted his shoulder heavily, "Eldest son... although modern society is more open... we Qilin still believe in having only one mate for life. You must think carefully."

"Huh? Huh? Huh!?"

Emotional intelligence boost received; 1000 yuan~

"Wait a minute, Dad! What I meant by 'sleeping' isn't what you think!!"
