The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 163 Misunderstanding resolved

A morning passed, and although Walnut knew that those dreams were just a dream, she still couldn't help feeling embarrassed and ashamed every time she saw the two Inari foxes, and she had a stress reaction to Shota.

To the two Inari foxes, their new deskmate was particularly strange. Every time they met, he would stammer and then run away in a panic. Sometimes, he would even avoid them altogether if he saw them from afar. Fu-zai felt wronged because of this, "Our new classmate seems to dislike us..."

"No, there must be some misunderstanding. How could someone as cute as Fu-zai be disliked?" Shota whispered to comfort his sister.

It was lunchtime, and the two Inari foxes were observing the group of mythical beasts eating together not far away.

The lunchbox, over a meter tall, was opened, revealing braised chicken with mushrooms, Mapo tofu, sweet and sour pork ribs—a variety of aromas wafting out. Taotie slurped, "Slurp! So much delicious food!"

Qiong Xiaoqi swallowed hard, but his mouth kept chattering, "It's a pity that such good cooking skills are not used to be a chef. Why don't you consider it? My dad is poor, but my aunt is rich. Come and be our chef."

Compared to these two, the other beasts were much more decisive, picking up and opening the display without saying a word.

The aroma of the food was irresistible not only to the mythical beasts, but also to the other students in the class who would occasionally glance over, eating as they watched. Even the two Inari foxes couldn't resist, and a little salt clung to their lips.

"That looks delicious." Fu-zai smelled the aroma in the air and suddenly found the rice ball in his paws didn't taste so good anymore.

Shota felt the same way, but he didn't say anything and silently ate his rice ball.

Lunch passed in agony for the entire class except for a bunch of mischievous kids.

Bixie packed up his lunchbox, and Tianlu Baijie came to his side. The three brothers prepared to leave.

Although they still had classes in the afternoon, they had been tricked into going to school. Xie Zhi insisted on educating Bai Jie, but Bai Jie was unwilling to suffer alone while dragging his two brothers along. The situation remained deadlocked. However, going to school was one thing, but they still had to accommodate the film crew's shooting schedule.

"You're leaving already? Going to film another movie?" Qiong Xiaoqi asked with a hint of envy.

"Mwah... I'm so envious, I don't have to go to class." Walnut chewed on her paw.

Bai Jie glanced back at them.

If you knew that the Xie Zhi (a mythical creature) might sometimes be on set and even tutor us, you wouldn't think that way.

"Bai Jie is leaving!" Tian Lu called out from the doorway. Bai Jie responded with an "oh" and ran over. The three brothers still rode two cloud mounts to the film set, but they had been much more well-behaved since the New Year incident. At least they were well-behaved when Bai Jie was around.

……

In the afternoon, it was physical education class. The teacher, a clone of the mythical beast Xie Zhi, knew that the students hadn't had enough fun during the holiday. After organizing some warm-up exercises, he announced that they were free to do whatever they wanted.

Walnut broke away from the group and was just about to find some friends to play with when Shota suddenly called him back.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Walnut!"

"What? Fox, what's the matter, fox?" Walnut stiffened and turned around, slightly nervous.

Shota stopped in front of him, took a deep breath, and stared blankly into Walnut's eyes. "Walnut-kun, I don't know why you keep your distance from us, but as your deskmates, my sister and I want to get along with you. If we did anything that caused Walnut-kun to misunderstand, I apologize. Thank you!"

Shota bowed deeply, his head bowed low. Walnut, her mouth slightly agape, froze for a moment. Before her stood the fox, bowing deeply, his current seriousness and responsibility a stark contrast to his image in her dream. Walnut pursed her lips, a hint of guilt in her eyes.

"that……"

Shota looked up at the sound and saw Walnut glancing to the side, its claws scratching the ground. After a moment, it put its lips to its mouth and uttered the rest of its sentence, "I'm sorry, I...I...I was prejudiced against you..."

Shota paused for a moment, then straightened up and spoke more easily, “It’s okay, Walnut, the misunderstanding has been cleared up, but Fu-zai doesn’t know yet. I’ll tell her the good news right away.”

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

……

Fu-zai waited on a bench on the other side of the playground. Not far away, her classmates were playing on the sports equipment, but she paid no attention to them.

"Fu-zai!"

Two voices came at the same time, and Fu-zai suddenly turned his head to look, only to see Xiang-tai and He-tao running over.

The two beasts stopped in front of the bench. Fuzi stared at them. Walnut subconsciously avoided eye contact, but then realized something was wrong and turned back. Their eyes met. Walnut took a deep breath, suddenly lowered his head and bent down, his two fluffy tails swung behind him and curved to form a heart shape.

"I'm sorry! Can you forgive me for what I did before?!"

The weather in early spring was still a bit chilly. A gust of cool wind blew by, and Fu-zai covered his mouth in surprise, while Shota looked completely bewildered.

So... I'm being treated differently again? And... is Walnut-kun confessing his feelings?

……

Above the Caiyun Mountains, the Pixiu brothers rode the clouds to find the film crew. Today they were going to film the story of the three brothers in ancient times, so the filming location was not near the Deer Man Shop.

"Look, there they are!" Tianlu, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted the film crew on a mountain.

Bai Jie and Bi Xie followed suit, but instead of seeing a beast, they were blinded by a glittering mountain of gold.

"No wonder the director said we didn't need to find someone to pick us up, we were sure we could find the place." Bai Jie rubbed his eyes and exclaimed. Tian Lu next to him was drooling like a waterfall. The two Pixiu were suffering the consequences, drinking their fill of water.

My little master is still on me... I'll endure it! You just wait!

The three brothers fell from the sky, and Puss in Boots immediately beckoned them over, "We're going to film the scene of Bai Jie's birth later, come here, I'll give you a brief explanation."

These five words, "just a few words," made the three Pixiu yawn, recalling the terror of the school leaders at the school ceremony.

"Um... Director, I wrote most of this script, so I don't need to... listen to it, right?" Bai Jie asked timidly.

"You still need to listen. Let me explain the requirements and precautions."

Bai Jie's face fell.

Fortunately, Puss in Boots wasn't a school leader, so even though he only said a few words, it was still within the three brothers' acceptable range.

Just before filming began, Tianlu, tugging at Puss in Boots' tail, swallowed hard and asked, "Director, what about that pile of golden balls..."

"Those are just gold-plated; our crew doesn't have that much money." Puss in Boots' words shattered Tianlu's illusions. Overwhelmed with joy and sorrow, he returned dejectedly to his two brothers.

As filming began, Tianlu Bixie plucked a tuft of fur from its body and transformed it into multiple clones, while the props team brought out the finished simulated mythical beast eggs.

……

"Tianlu, you stay here and watch the house. I'm going out to find something to eat." In the video, a huge, strange tree stands tall. After telling Xiao Bixie to Xiao Tianlu, he jumps into the bushes and leaves.

Silence fell around them, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects. Little Tianlu lay listlessly for a while, when suddenly his stomach made a rumbling protesting sound.

"Ugh, I'm so hungry! Bixie hasn't come back yet..." Xiao Tianlu clutched his stomach and rolled around uncomfortably twice before finally scrambling to his feet. "No, I'm so hungry, I'll go out and find something to eat myself."

He walked in the opposite direction from where the little demon had left, "I'll bring back a bunch of delicious food and let the demon know who's more powerful."

Xiao Tianlu muttered to himself and then disappeared into the nearby bushes.

"Cut!" the cat shouted, slamming the clapperboard shut. "Pipi, for the next shot you have to use your true form to eat Bai Jie."

"it is good!"

……

In the following scenes, the three brothers continued to perform well, and the afternoon of filming went smoothly. By the time the crew finished get off work and disbanded, it was already dark.

"What are you doing?" Bai Jie was dragged to the film crew's camp in Caiyun Village by Puss in Boots. He looked extremely impatient and spoke very aggressively. "If you keep exploiting me, this child laborer, I'll sue you!"

"Ahem, I don't mean to ask you to do any work, I just have some inspiration for a new character and wanted to show it to you," Puss in Boots quickly explained, looking embarrassed.

When the topic of a new role came up, Bai Jie became interested. "Is there a new actor coming? Who is it? But speaking of which, you never seemed to have consulted me before when you recruited new actors, did you?"

"Uh, hahahahaha." Puss in Boots laughed awkwardly.

Bai Jie didn't dwell on that matter, but instead turned her attention to the new characters, "What new characters are you planning to add?"

Puss in Boots breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her sugar daddy didn't want to settle accounts with her. She immediately pulled Bai Jie to sit down, and Xiao Hang handed her a bottle of Coke at just the right moment.

"Please sit down, I will explain slowly."

Bai Jie took the Coke, took a sip, and listened quietly to Puss in Boots' story.

"The next couple's storyline is a classic 'childhood sweethearts' scenario where a sudden appearance of a stranger leads to a misunderstanding. They initially have a misunderstanding, but then resolve it and develop feelings for each other. As their relationship deepens, one of their childhood sweethearts arrives, creating a chaotic love triangle..."

Bai Jie stopped drinking the cola.

Isn't that Walnut, Fuku, and Shota? But this plot... Puss in Boots, have you been watching something weird lately?

After Puss in Boots finished speaking, Bai Jie pondered for a while. To prevent a butterfly effect like the Four-Faced Beast from preventing the three little ones from appearing on stage, he decided to give them a push. "Ahem, Director, I have three candidates here. Would you like to consider them?"

"Meow?" Puss in Boots was taken aback. Was the big spender finally going to send someone to the film crew?

After thinking it over, she made up her mind to agree regardless of whether the candidate was suitable or not. Bai Jie was paying her, giving her a role, and helping her with the script. If she didn't make some requests, she would feel embarrassed.
