25: The filming of Tian Long has wrapped.

Big Beard Zhang was discharged from the hospital, but he didn't come to the set. His injury was on his mouth, requiring restorative surgery and minor plastic surgery.

The news was initially heavily suppressed, but somehow it still leaked out.

The news that Big Beard Zhang was bitten on the mouth by a rat on set was spread by the media, and many people requested interviews, so he dared not show his face.

Li Xiuwu felt a little regretful. Recently, he had found a nest of hornets near the film set and had established a friendly relationship with them.

Before they knew it, the crew's filming reached its final stage.

Li Xiuwu saw news reports about an epidemic appearing in the South.

He sighed, thought for a moment, and found Zhou Xiaowen.

"Are you saying it could affect us?"

"Not necessarily." Li Xiuwu shook his head, saying it was hard to tell.

Zhou Xiaowen looked at the news. The South had already begun restricting the movement of people. If the situation spread, anything could happen.

After discussing it with Yu Min and Zhao Jian, he sped up the filming, making the schedule tighter.

"Shu Chang has wrapped up."

Supporting actors constantly finished their scenes, wrapped up, and left the crew. Today, Shu Chang finished her scenes.

"Thank you, Yu Min." Shu Chang accepted the red envelope handed to her by Yu Min.

Characters who die on camera all receive a red envelope.

"Chang Chang, I'm going to miss you." Liu Yifei held Shu Chang's hand.

Now that Shu Chang's scenes were finished, she was heading back to the Capital City.

"You don't have many scenes left either. I'll wait for you in the Capital City." Shu Chang hugged Liu Yifei.

"Mother Xiaoli." Shu Chang hugged Liu Xiaoli, rubbing her face against Liu Xiaoli's chest.

"Good girl." Liu Xiaoli stroked her head, feeling very fond of her.

"Older Brother Xiuwu, thank you for tutoring me." She bid farewell to Li Xiuwu last.

"Haha, you must work hard! You promised to become a top scholar next year and come find us at the Beijing Film Academy." When Li Xiuwu tutored her, he had guided her thoughts about her future.

"Mhm, I will work hard." Shu Chang clenched her fists, cheering herself on.

She hadn't decided on applying to the Beijing Film Academy, but she really wanted to be the top scholar of the college entrance examination, or at least achieve a very good score.

"Goodbye, Xixi." Shu Chang slung her bag over her shoulder, waved to everyone, and walked into the airport.

As the epidemic grew more serious, Zhou Xiaowen became stricter with the filming requirements.

Perhaps due to Li Xiuwu's involvement, a Butterfly Effect was formed, and demi-gods and semi-devils finished filming ahead of schedule.

"I announce that demi-gods and semi-devils has wrapped up!" After the last shot was filmed, Zhou Xiaowen stood up and shouted, a smile on his face, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

A wrap party was organized that evening.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou, Yu Min Zhao, and Director Yu, for your guidance." Li Xiuwu raised his glass to toast the Yu Mins.

"Your talent is good. Go back to school and lay a solid foundation," Zhou Xiaowen told him with a smile.

"Your physical fitness, kid, is the best I've ever seen. You might become the next generation of action stars," Zhao Jian said.

Currently, the action stars in the industry are getting old, and there isn't a single successful one among the new generation.

"If Yu Min Zhao says so, I’ll believe it. If I can't find any action roles later, I'll come find you," Li Xiuwu joked.

"Alright, let's cooperate again if we get the chance in the future." Zhao Jian nodded with a smile.

Yu Min clinked glasses with Li Xiuwu: "Don't be led astray by Old Zhao. Your dramatic acting is good too. If you develop in the film industry later, dramatic roles are more popular."

"Thank you for the reminder, Director Yu. Both Yu Mins' suggestions are excellent. I think I can pursue both dramatic and action roles."

Li Xiuwu clinked glasses with the other actors. After the Yu Mins left, he also excused himself and returned to his hotel room.

Little Lion was rolling around on the bed. Seeing Li Xiuwu, it ran over.

"Are we going home?" It squatted on the bed, looking up at Li Xiuwu.

"Yes, we are going home." Li Xiuwu smiled.

"That's great." It continued rolling around, greatly missing life in the Courtyard House.

Knock, knock, knock.

The door was knocked.

"Who is it?" Li Xiuwu asked cautiously, wary of being ambushed at the last moment.

"Me."

"Who are you?" Li Xiuwu recognized Liu Yifei's voice.

"Li Xiuwu, you big idiot, you can't even tell! It's Liu Yifei." Liu Yifei's voice came from outside, sounding annoyed.

Li Xiuwu opened the door. Not only was Liu Yifei there, but her mother, Liu Xiaoli, was too.

"Auntie, Xixi, come in." Li Xiuwu stepped aside.

"You didn't get drunk, did you?" Liu Xiaoli held a cup. "I prepared some hangover soup. Drink it, and your head won't hurt when you wake up tomorrow."

"Thank you, Auntie." Li Xiuwu felt warmth in his heart from being cared for and worried about.

"You are like a child to me; I treat you as a junior," Liu Xiaoli smiled.

Liu Yifei pounced onto the bed to play with Little Lion.

Liu Xiaoli sat down, glanced at her daughter, turned her head, and asked Li Xiuwu.

"When are you going back to the Capital City?"

"Tomorrow, I want to go back as soon as possible," Li Xiuwu said.

"Why the rush? Aren't you going to rest for a few days? How is your health?" Liu Xiaoli was a little worried.

"My health is fine; I’m used to having action scenes every day." Li Xiuwu explained his physical condition, then added, "I see the epidemic in the South is getting more severe, and cases have also appeared in the Capital City. It might be locked down and controlled any day now."

Liu Xiaoli frowned upon hearing this. She hadn't considered the epidemic aspect, and hearing Li Xiuwu mention it made her worried.

"Are you driving back?"

"Yes." Li Xiuwu nodded. "With the epidemic spreading, driving is relatively safer, just in case."

Liu Xiaoli nodded, feeling that Li Xiuwu's consideration was reasonable.

She suggested, "How about this: we go with you tomorrow? Including the assistant, there will be exactly four of us. We can take your car back, and we can take turns driving on the way."

"That sounds great. It was quite boring driving alone last time. It will be nice to have people to talk to with you all here." Li Xiuwu readily agreed.

Liu Xiaoli discussed the issue of the epidemic with Li Xiuwu for a while longer, finding his insights very sensible.

"Xixi, let's go back and get some good rest. We're returning to the Capital City tomorrow." Liu Xiaoli called Liu Yifei, who was teasing Little Lion.

"Oh." Liu Yifei agreed, turning back to Little Lion and saying, "Little Lion, go to sleep with your big sister. Your big sister will hug you."

Little Lion jumped to the side, tilting its head and looking at Li Xiuwu, clearly unwilling.

"You ungrateful little thing, I feed you delicious food every day." Liu Yifei lectured it for a bit, but being urged by Liu Xiaoli, she reluctantly left Li Xiuwu's room.

The next day, Li Xiuwu came to bid farewell to Zhou Xiaowen.

"Alright, be careful on the road." After the wrap party, everyone basically left separately, so Zhou Xiaowen wasn't surprised that Li Xiuwu was leaving.

Zhou Xiaowen and the others still needed to organize the filmed material and would have to stay here for a while.

Li Xiuwu put his luggage into the trunk and went to help Liu Yifei and her group with theirs.
