Chapter 31
"I have a way," Pei Chiyao said.
Pei Chiyao glanced at his wrist to check the time and said to Zhi Yao, "It's about time, let's go."
Zhi Yao struggled to get down from Pei Chiyao, but to her surprise, he acted faster and said in a domineering manner that couldn't be refused, "I'll carry you to put on your shoes."
Zhi Yao looked at Pei Chiyao carefully arranging her clothes and then reached out to firmly hold his hand. She was instantly moved by the look in Pei Chiyao's eyes.
Before Pei Chiyao could say anything in response to the earnest gaze of the young girl, Zhi Yao spoke up, saying, "Pei Chiyao, you seem like my mother."
Pei Chiyao: "..."
He raised his hand and knocked on Zhi Yao's head. "Next time, do it yourself."
Zhi Yao shook her head and said, "No, you do it~ This shoelace is difficult, I'm too clumsy, I definitely won't be able to learn it."
"Do you want me to tie your shoelaces for the rest of your life?" Pei Chiyao asked in return.
Zhi Yao, who was originally walking, suddenly leaned forward and looked at Pei Chiyao, saying, "Is that not allowed?"
Her face was very close to Pei Chiyao's. "I want to be with you for the rest of my life."
Her casual words made Pei Chiyao abruptly stop in his tracks.
Zhi Yao was also forced to stop. "Why did you suddenly stop?"
Pei Chiyao's gaze was fixed on Zhi Yao, trying to see something from her face.
But what he saw was still the blank face of a young fox.
He knew that Zhi Yao didn't understand the significance of those words.
Pei Chiyao sighed and for the first time felt a headache.
When would this innocent little fox grow up?
...
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the shooting location.
Pei Chiyao got out of the car with Zhi Yao.
It wasn't Zhi Yao's first visit here. She saw her familiar makeup artist sister.
It was this sister who drew a particularly beautiful flower on her forehead! She loved it so much!
"Sister Su!" Zhi Yao wanted to greet the makeup artist sister as soon as she spoke.
Before the words could even leave her mouth, Pei Chiyao covered her mouth with his hand.
She blinked in confusion, looking at Pei Chiyao with a puzzled expression.
"Don't forget, you're a human now, they don't know you," he said.
These words instantly made Zhi Yao realize.
Oh yes! She's a human now! Not a fox!
She knew Sister Su, but Sister Su didn't know her!
Luckily, there were many people on set, and Sister Su didn't hear.
She quickly patted her chest and stuck her head out, looking around stealthily.
Afraid that someone might notice.
She looked particularly guilty, like a thief.
Pei Chiyao tapped her head twice, with quite some strength.
Zhi Yao instantly winced in pain, covering her own head and saying in a grievous tone, "Pei Chiyao, you're so mean, why did you hit my head?"
Pei Chiyao sneered, "I'm afraid if we keep going like this, the crew will call the police."
Zhi Yao: "..."
When Pei Chiyao led Zhi Yao to the director, the director was giving instructions to the supporting actors.
"Hello, director," Zhi Yao said in a sweet and tender voice.
This sweet voice instantly caught the director's attention.
"Ah, Zhi Yao is here!"
The director quickly greeted the other staff members of the crew and introduced them to Zhi Yao.
Under the scrutiny of so many eyes, Zhi Yao felt a bit embarrassed.
She quietly hid behind Pei Chiyao, but before she could fully conceal herself, he pulled her out.
Sister Su looked Zhi Yao up and down, and for some reason, Zhi Yao felt that her gaze was intensely passionate...
As if she wanted to devour her on the spot.
Could it be... Could Sister Su have figured it out?
Zhi Yao felt a little nervous. She was about to reach out and tug at Pei Chiyao's sleeve when suddenly, Sister Su rushed over.
Startled, Zhi Yao didn't have time to dodge and was caught by Sister Su's hand. "Heavens! What skincare products are you using?!"
Sister Su pinched Zhi Yao's face and exclaimed, "Why is your skin so flawless? Not a single pore?!"
She looked at Zhi Yao with extreme excitement. "Look at these facial features, so harmonious. And the proportions, just perfect. Are you a masterpiece of Nuwa? How can you be so beautiful!"
Sister Su was an absolute beauty enthusiast. She particularly enjoyed doing makeup for others, and her skills were exceptional. By highlighting their strengths and hiding their flaws, she could transform an ordinary person into a head-turner and make a female celebrity go viral in minutes.
This time, she heard that Pei Chiyao was going to play the male lead, and she was an avid fan of his. That's why she agreed to work as a makeup artist for this small production. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, she wouldn't even consider such a small-scale production.
She grabbed Zhi Yao and dragged her towards the makeup room. "Come, come, let me see what kind of makeup suits you best."
Zhi Yao, wearing a puzzled expression, was pulled away by Sister Su.
Just as Pei Chiyao was about to follow, the director spoke up, "Chiyao, hold on. Let's discuss some investment matters."
Zhi Yao anxiously looked back, searching for Pei Chiyao. What should she do about her... her ear tail?
The young girl sat perplexed in front of the dressing table until Sister Su forcefully took off her beret, and only then did she snap out of her daze. "Wait, wait a minute!"
However, it was too late.
In the mirror, an innocent and pure-looking girl now had two extra ears on her head. Those ears were large and felt incredibly soft to the touch. They even moved.
Zhi Yao immediately raised her hand and covered her ears, looking at Sister Su with fear, afraid that she would scream any second now.
However, the expected scream didn't come. Instead, Sister Su's eyes became even more eager.
"Oh my goodness! These ears of yours are so adorable! Where did you get them? And they even move?!"
Sister Su reached out and playfully rubbed Zhi Yao's ears, utterly captivated.
There was nothing cuter than a little fox fairy.
In an instant, a surge of inspiration flooded her mind, and she immediately came up with a makeup look that would suit Zhi Yao perfectly.
"Quick, take off that troublesome coat and sit down. I'll do your makeup."
Zhi Yao protested, "No, no, no..."
But before she could even finish saying "no," Sister Su yanked off her clothes, revealing the fluffy and soft tail underneath.
Silence enveloped the scene, like the tranquil night in Cambridge.
Locked in a gaze, Zhi Yao could sense Sister Su's desire to escape, yet she couldn't break free.
QAQ.
What should I do? Waiting online anxiously, it's urgent!
Zhi Yao witnessed Sister Su's eyes growing wider and wider, until suddenly, a gasp escaped her lips.
"So adorable!!! How many surprises are you hiding from me?" Sister Su exclaimed.
She reached out, intending to touch Zhi Yao's tail, but before Zhi Yao could react, her tail moved on its own and deftly evaded Sister Su's hand.
"Even this can move?!" Sister Su was completely amazed by modern technology.
"Come, come, take a seat. I'm about to showcase my skills," Sister Su said eagerly.
Zhi Yao: "..."
Wait, haven't you noticed that something is not quite right?!
With a bewildered expression, Zhi Yao reluctantly allowed Sister Su to apply makeup on her. An hour later, she was pushed out by Sister Su, still dazed.
Zhi Yao never could have imagined that one day she would appear in front of so many humans with her tail and ears.
And she did so openly and proudly.
