~9 min read 1,648 words

"Babes! Today I've come to the Film and Television City to explore the shops! I heard a new food street opened here, gathering delicacies from all over the country. Take note, everyone! It's not the 'neither fish nor fowl' stuff made by locals; the flavors are very authentic. Today, I'll scout the path for you all first and have a taste."

Chen Sisi is a food blogger with millions of followers. Her daily routine involves holding a selfie stick and flying to different cities to explore local cuisine.

Today, she has arrived at the largest film and television shooting base in the country.

She didn't come here specifically for this, but rather because her cousin's daughter is getting married. The groom's family home is in a village surrounding the Film and Television City, and the two met in the Film and Television City, so the wedding ceremony was scheduled at a hotel next to the Film and Television City. She simply flew in a day early to give her followers some perks.

Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a pair of exquisite and beautiful children in front of her.

"My goodness! What beautiful children! Are they child stars or little extras? I haven't seen them on Television before, but they are truly so beautiful and cute!"

【Where, where! Sisi, don't just look by yourself! Let us see too!】

【The one thing the Film and Television City doesn't lack is extras. It's said that there are more extras in the Film and Television City than there were migrant workers following the trend south in the nineties.】

【Ahhh! I see them! Is it that pair of children in front? Hey, are they lost? They look so confused.】

Xie Jilin was indeed very confused.

He tightly pursed his lips and held his younger sister's hand helplessly. His clear eyes, as limpid as Black Crystal grapes, revealed the strangeness and bewilderment of someone who had just arrived.

Where is this?

Why are there so many people in strange clothes?

And so many bizarre-looking buildings!

Such tall structures! What a beautiful place!

Could this be... the place where immortals live?

Could it be that he and his sister had already died after falling from the cliff?

Did the immortals in heaven, remembering the many good deeds their father and mother did for the common people while alive, keep him and his sister from reporting to the purgatory-like underworld, and instead bring them up to heaven?

But the immortals in heaven... are they actually this poor? Their clothes are missing sleeves and legs; it is rare to see a complete garment.

"Brother, Chuchu is scared."

Xie Jinchu, who was not yet three years old, hugged her brother's arm tightly, not daring to walk forward anymore. A pair of exquisite little apricot eyes were filled with panic and unease.

"Chuchu misses Father and Mother. Brother, let's go back and find Father and Mother. Chuchu is tired, I can't run anymore!"

Father, Mother...

How could he not miss them as well?

But, in order to buy time for them to escape, Father and Mother were likely already in grave danger.

His eyes reddened as he hugged his sister tightly, his tender little hand gently patting her back: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Brother is with Chuchu, Chuchu don't be afraid."

"Hi, little ones! Are you lost?"

Chen Sisi held up her selfie stick, squeezed through the crowd, and arrived in front of the siblings.

She smiled and squatted down, examining the pair of children with exquisite appearances and facial features that looked sixty or seventy percent similar upon closer inspection.

The older one was about six or seven, the younger one about three, both dressed in ancient costumes.

The boy hadn't even taken off his wig, and his attire was quite exquisite. The jade pendant and pouch at his waist, and the jade hairpin and hair accessories on his head, were so realistic that one couldn't tell they were Props at all.

Could it be that some big-name director is filming a large-scale historical drama here?

"Don't be afraid, Big Sister is not a bad person!"

Seeing the siblings take two steps back, their little faces staring at her with caution, Chen Sisi helplessly shook her selfie stick:

"Look! Big Sister is livestreaming! If I were really a bad person, would I dare to livestream? Which film crew are you little actors from? Did you come out to play halfway and can't find the way back? Do you have a mobile phone or a phone watch? Or do you know an adult's phone number? Big Sister will help you contact them."

Xie Jilin did not let down the guard in his eyes. He pursed his little mouth, a doubt flashing through his heart:

Assuming this is the Heavenly Court, then these are all immortals. How could immortals not know his and his sister's origins?

And asking him for some "beast chicken" or "beast watch" to help them find their parents—could they be bad people sent to assassinate their family?

If that were the case, then he definitely couldn't tell them!

He held his sister's hand tightly, quickly retreated a few steps, and flashed into the crowd.

Chen Sisi couldn't help but touch her own face: "..."

Does she look like a bad person?

【Hahaha! Sisi, they think you're a human trafficker!】

【The older kid is at most in first grade. First-grade little friends have such high vigilance!】

【Speaking of which, don't you guys think that pair of kids looks familiar? I always feel like I've seen them somewhere.】

【They're child stars, it's normal to have seen them on Television.】

【Ahhh! An advertisement! A missing person advertisement! My god! Could it be that child of Xie Ci?】

【Hey, now that you mention it, they really do look a bit like him. Wait, I think I saved that advertisement image.】

Before long, a netizen posted a missing person photo released by Xie Ci's relatives after he went missing. If you replaced the clean buzz cut of the person in the photo with high-tied ancient hair accessories, it would be the exact adult version of the little boy from just now.

【I also found the missing person advertisement posted by Xie Ci's sister in the last two years. One of them is a child portrait drawn based on Xie Ci's headshot. When a reporter asked her why she thought to put up a child portrait, she said she was worried her brother had amnesia and therefore couldn't come home for so long, and instead got married and had children in another place, so she hired a painter to depict several child portraits with Xie Ci's shadow, both boys and girls.】

【Woooo! Xie Ci's sister really... she broke my heart!】

【It's been seven years, right? She still hasn't given up. I heard that to find her brother, she sold all her companies and villas, sigh...】

【Hey! That being said, it really is possible. Isn't that boy about six or seven years old? Xie Ci has been missing for seven years; maybe he really does have amnesia and got married and had children in a foreign land.】

【Then what are we waiting for! Sisi, call the police!】

【Sisi! Quick! Just now, when the camera flashed, I think I saw that pair of children being followed by a homeless man.】

What!!!

"Someone help me call the police, I'll follow them and take a look first."

Chen Sisi held her selfie stick high, stood on tiptoe, and while saying "excuse me, excuse me," chased after the pair of children.

Daliang, Tianye Era—

The Tian family has little idle work, in the fifth month people are doubly busy.

As the Grain in Ear solar term approached, the fields were filled with commoners bent over at their work.

Someone, while straightening their back to rest, saw a giant painting appear on the vast, boundless Sky Screen.

In the painting, a pair of little figures were dressed in the attire of the Daliang imperial clan, yet the people around them were all in strange clothing; in particular, the men's hair was only an inch long, and the women had their arms and legs exposed, even openly hugging and holding men, which truly subverted their worldview.

【What is this thing? How is it hanging high above the firmament?】

【Could this be the world of demons?】

【Eh, why is what this old man is thinking appearing on the firmament?】

【Whoa! Is this... the Heavenly Court?】

【Immortals couldn't possibly dress like this! It's scandalous!】

"Emperor—there is an urgent matter to report!"

The New Emperor Xiao Yanze, who had controlled the chaotic situation in the imperial court with thunderous means and ascended the throne not long ago, sat on the dragon throne supporting his forehead; his brows were tightly locked and his expression was cold as he listened to the court officials' reports, when suddenly he saw the Imperial Guard Commander Chen Xiao hurry in to report:

"The Sky Screen has shown the whereabouts of the Little Marquis and the Princess."

Xiao Yanze rose abruptly, swept his dragon robe aside, and strode out of the Audience Hall.

The group of court officials below, after looking at each other in dismay, followed the Emperor out of the hall.

The moment they saw the Sky Screen, everyone was stunned.

Almost at the same time, far away in the Modern Plane in Beijing, Xie Yang, who was browsing stock market trends on her computer at her desk, heard the Main System's broadcast:

【Host, the Sky Screen livestream has started; your nephew and niece have arrived in this plane.】

They finally came?

She had been waiting for seven years.

Xie Yang took off her anti-fatigue glasses, stood up quickly, took out the suitcase she had prepared long ago, and booked a direct flight to the Film and Television City while waiting for the Elevator.
