NOTE: Title — "Someone Funny Is Coming Back"
(Though the story may not actually be funny. Sorry!)
Zhong Zixin (Second Demon Prince, Wen Yili): "Mom."
Ms. Hui Zhong (Demon God, Zou Chou): "Yes?"
Zhong Zixin: "I'm going."
Ms. Hui Zhong: "Where are you going?"
Zhong Zixin: "To the airport. I'm picking up my younger brother."
Ms. Hui Zhong: "Alright, you can go. He should be arriving soon. Let Cheng drive the car."
Zhong Zixin: "No need. He's busy with our new series. I'll go alone."
Ms. Hui Zhong (President and Founder of ZgAnime): "Then drive slowly. Be careful."
Zhong Zixin (CEO of ZgAnime): "Of course, Mom. See you later."
He left the house.
On the Airplane
A beautiful woman sat beside a young, handsome man.
As she drank her water, she accidentally spilled it all over the man's clothes.
Xinling (handsome man): "…Seriously?"
Lu Taiyang: "I'm so sorry—sorry!"
She tried to wipe it, but only made it worse. Xinling ended up cleaning it himself.
The beautiful woman was Lu Taiyang, a famous actress.
Lu Taiyang: "I'm really sorry…" Xinling didn't reply.
Lu Taiyang (whining like a child): "I said I'm sorry…"
Xinling felt irritated.
Xinling: "Okay. That's enough."
Lu Taiyang: "So… does that mean you forgive me?"
Xinling: "Yes."
Lu Taiyang: "Great! You know, as a famous actress—"
(she proudly bragged about herself)
Before she could finish, the plane landed. Xinling walked out quickly.
Lu Taiyang: "Hey! Wait!"
She tried to chase him, but reporters surrounded her. Xinling shook his head. What a stubborn woman.
Outside the Airport
Someone waved at Xinling. He walked closer—and hugged him.
It was Zhong Zixin. Zhong Zixin: "How was your trip?"
Xinling: "It was good… and annoying."
(Annoying because of Lu Taiyang.)
Zhong Zixin: "Let's go home."
Xinling: "Okay."
They got into the car and left.
At the Hospital
Mrs. Nuwa had just been discharged.
Xiao Xiuying: "Slowly, ma'am. Watch your step."
Mrs. Nuwa Hua: "Don't worry. I'm fine."
They settled in the car.
Mrs. Nuwa Hua: "Min Chi, take us to the company."
Deng Min Chi: "But you just—"
Mrs. Nuwa Hua: "We'll only meet Jawlong and then return home."
Deng Min Chi: "…Alright."
They headed to the company.
Back at Ms. Hui Zhong's House
Xinling: "Mom."
He hugged her tightly.
Ms. Hui Zhong: "Welcome home, dear. How was your trip?"
Zhong Xinling (her biological son): "It was nice."
Zhong Zixin: "Mom, talk later. He just arrived. Let him freshen up."
Ms. Hui Zhong: "Alright. Go wash up."
Zhong Xinling: "Okay, Mom."
He left for his room.
Zhong Zixin: "Mom… are you really going to hide it from him? You know how important it is."
Ms. Hui Zhong: "For now, yes. When the time is right, he will discover it himself. You know how hard it is for us demons to hide our true nature."
Zhong Zixin: "As you wish. I'm going to meet Jawlong."
Ms. Hui Zhong: "Okay."
Her expression darkened with worry as Zixin left.
To be continued.
