Mommy, don't be afraid, I'll bring you blind boxes and scam you out of a wealthy family to

Xie Lin and Pei Ji haven't visited the Duan family for some time now.

As soon as they entered, the little boy sitting on the carpet building blocks looked up, his expression lighting up with joy: "Uncle Xie Lin! Uncle Pei Ji!"

Xie Lin squatted down, opened his arms, and waited for the little bundle of milk to jump into his arms.

"Didn't Uncle say he would take our little princess to the film set?"

Wen Li thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes."

"How about we go today?"

Duan Hetong said indifferently, "You don't even need to ask me before you borrow my daughter?"

Xie Lin chuckled, "Brother Tong will definitely agree. Little princess, quickly beg your dad."

Wen Li clasped her little hands together and shot out starry-eyed glances: "Baba, I beg you..."

Duan Hetong almost sighed.

These two guys have clearly figured out their Achilles' heel.

When Wen Li first visited the film and television base, it felt like entering an amusement park.

Here are ancient houses, there are futuristic spaceships, there are ancient people with long braids, and there are actors wearing animal skins... The little milk group couldn't take it all in.

Xie Lin carried her out of the car, and she whispered, "Uncle, there are so many houses! Who lives in them?"

Xie Lin said mysteriously, "This isn't a real house."

Once she actually stepped inside, she realized it was truly different:

A quaint, old-fashioned street, but after turning a corner, all that's left is a wall;

The restaurant appears tall from afar, but behind it lies a dense network of steel frames.

There was also a pretty little courtyard, but when you pushed open the gate, there was nothing inside.

The little dumpling's mouth opened in surprise, forming an "o" shape.

"When filming television, as long as we make what the audience can see, that's enough," Xie Lin explained.

The little baby nodded as if he understood but not quite.

So the world on TV isn't the real world after all?

Further inside, a large camera was being pushed back and forth by staff.

The little one exclaimed, "Wow! It's so big! Even in family photos, it's never this big!"

Xie Lin laughed and said, "This is different from what we usually use for taking photos."

They're different, but how are they different?

Is it because it's so big, or because it has legs and can run around?

The little bundle of milk walked along, pondering as it went.

Along the way, unlike other children who run around, she obediently sat with her parents, but her eyes were always busy.

Lighting, props, dressing room, van...

Each one is a new toy at the amusement park.

Xie Lin's popularity can be described as being known to everyone; it's no exaggeration to say that he was a household name. People greeted him all the way.

"Brother Lin is here."

"What is Lao Xie filming today?"

"Big star, let me treat you to dinner!"

Xie Lin greeted her, and Xiao Wenli would follow suit, calling him "sister," "brother," "aunt," and "uncle."

Her voice was soft and gentle, making everyone who heard it happy.

Someone handed her a small carton of milk, but Wen Li didn't take it. Instead, she looked up at Xie Lin.

She accepted the gift with both hands after the adult nodded, and thanked him politely.

The staff were completely melted – where did this little angel come from!

Others joked, "Teacher Xie, when did you have a daughter? You kept it a secret, and we didn't even get to attend the wedding banquet."

Xie Lin said smugly, "Although he's not my biological son, he's almost the same as one."

Today's scene was an indoor one. The director sat behind the monitor, occasionally picking up the walkie-talkie: "Ready—three, two, one—action!"

The actors immediately got into character.

Wen Li held her little milk cup and stood quietly beside Xie Lin, even making a soft sound when biting the straw.

A moment later, the director raised his hand: "Cut!"

The film set is bustling again.

Wen Li tugged at Xie Lin's sleeve: "Uncle, what does 'ka' mean?"

Xie Lin said, "It's just to let everyone know that this part is finished filming, and we can take a break."

Wen Li nodded. "Oh, I see. I'll remember that."

The next scene featured Xie Lin. The director walked over, saw Wen Li, and looked at her as if she were a glittering gold mine: "Whose child is this?"

Xie Lin put his arm around Wen Li and said leisurely, "She's mine."

The assistant director curled his lip: "Give me a break, you're always traveling around, how would you have time to raise a child?"

Xie Lin gestured at them from afar: "You all only read the entertainment gossip section and never care about social news, right?"

The director ignored the accusation, squatted down, and asked Wen Li with a smile, "Little girl, what's your name?"

The little one gripped her uncle's hand tighter, but without the usual timidity, and blinked: "Pear Baby..."

How old are you?

She held up three little fingers: "Shan is one and a half years old."

"Who is Xie Lin to you?"

The little one looked up and saw the uncle winking at her. She tilted her head and pressed it against the uncle's palm: "You're Pear Baby's good uncle."

Even Xie Lin was surprised by this answer, and he looked flattered.

No wonder he won the Best Newcomer Award for his debut role; he immediately feigned overwhelming gratitude, tears welling up in his eyes: "Waaah, little princess, I had no idea you liked me so much!"

The little girl panicked as soon as she saw her uncle cry, and hurriedly wiped his tears with her tiny hands: "Uncle, don't cry, Pear Baby likes Uncle!"

The director stroked his chin, liking it more and more as he looked at it.

The entertainment industry has never lacked good-looking child stars, but this child's charm and adorable cuteness make everyone want to hug him and give him a bite...

The assistant director noticed his thoughts, leaned over, and the two whispered to each other.

Xie Lin's eyes darted around: "Hey, what mischief are you two up to?"

The director nodded to the assistant director, then asked Xie Lin, "Are you interested in participating in a variety show?"

"Variety show?"

"A reality show featuring children, with male guests taking care of them, including their daily lives, travels, and tasks."

Xie Lin said "Oh," and then added, "You've come here to conscript men on the spot."

"Who told you to bring the child today?" The director made no attempt to hide his thoughts. "I've been preparing for this for over half a year, and I still haven't found a satisfactory child."

He looked down at Wen Li, the little milk ball holding a sip of milk, its cheeks puffed out, like a fluffy little sea otter.

The director was thrilled: "I guarantee your little princess will be a huge star!"

"Of course the little princess will be popular, but—" Xie Lin shrugged, "She's not mine, so I don't get to decide."

He patted the director on the shoulder and joked, "You should go ask her dad."
