The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 571 - 568 A Normal Family
Qi Longbing might be her biological father, but he was already married, and they weren’t one family. In that case, how could he explain these adult problems to his child? The child might not understand. She wouldn’t be able to comprehend why her father, who had created her with him, would want to have a family with another woman. What would a child think in such a situation? It would only cause her immense harm. He didn’t want his Little Candy to carry such a psychological burden; he only wanted Little Candy to grow up happy and lead a normal family life.
This meant he and Qi Longbing had to work together to resolve this issue quickly. Only if Qi Longbing could sort out his own problems would they be able to become a better, more complete family in the future.
"Okay, enough talking. Let’s hurry into the cinema and watch the movie. Let’s see ’The Return of The Great Sage.’ I think it should be quite good. Besides, I’ve always enjoyed content related to ’Journey to the West,’" Hua Xiaomo said, looking at his daughter and Qi Longbing.
In fact, his eyes were full of smiles at that moment. He felt comforted that his daughter was really quite obedient; in a way, it spared him a lot of worry.
Soon, Hua Xiaomo, Qi Longbing, and Candy entered the cinema and began watching ’The Return of The Great Sage.’ As the plot unfolded, all three were captivated by the imagery on screen. The 3D visuals, with their depth and realism, directly impacted everyone’s senses. In the cinema, there was a palpable immersive feeling, as if they were experiencing the events of the animation themselves. Everyone was utterly absorbed by the unfolding story.
The cinema was packed, and everyone was drawn into the animation. The character of the Great Sage, Sun Wukong, was very distinctive and exaggerated. However, this exaggeration didn’t come across as overblown; instead, it was interwoven with comedic elements from the plot, making it incredibly engaging. Everyone was glued to their screens, completely enraptured by the captivating story.
As the film neared its end, Sun Wukong clashed with the Caterpillar Monster. Sun Wukong couldn’t defeat the powerful Caterpillar Monster and was beaten back repeatedly. Sun Wukong was in a wretched state as he dodged the attacks. Seeing Sun Wukong in peril, the Little Monk ran to help, luring the Caterpillar Monster away. But just then, the Caterpillar Monster attacked the Little Monk.
At that moment, the story took a significant turn, and everyone began to worry about the Little Monk’s fate. In the end, the Little Monk was killed by the Caterpillar Monster. A wave of WAILING swept through the cinema, mostly from the children. Many adults, too, were deeply moved by the plot, completely unprepared for its profound emotional impact.
"Daddy, Daddy, did the Little Monk die?" Little Candy asked, her eyes fixed on the movie. "I really don’t like that Caterpillar Monster at all! I really like the Little Monk. How can we bring the Little Monk back to life? That Caterpillar Monster is truly awful! I don’t like him one bit! He’s so ugly and so mean. He’s a real big baddie!"
At that moment, she was completely engrossed in the storyline, as if she had become part of the narrative. She even felt as though she *were* the Little Monk.
Just as Hua Xiaomo was about to say something, Qi Longbing gently took Little Candy’s small hand, enclosing it in his palm. Smiling, he looked at her and said, "Little Candy, don’t worry. The plot will surely take a positive turn. I believe the Little Monk will come back to life. Isn’t Sun Wukong still around?"
"Sun Wukong will definitely find a way to revive the Little Monk and defeat the Caterpillar Monster. And you’re right, that Caterpillar Monster is really annoying. Uncle dislikes that Caterpillar Monster just like you do; I really don’t like that caterpillar one bit."
Qi Longbing said with a smile, his exceptionally handsome face lighting up.
He felt the animated film was truly a success. It always managed to captivate children. And it wasn’t just children who loved it and got engrossed; adults also found it deeply moving. Imagine if they could produce an animated film like this; it would be fantastic. This kind of 3D animated film is perfect for the whole family. Yes, nowadays, it’s about capturing the hearts of children, and even more importantly, the hearts of adults, including grandparents. That way, they wouldn’t have to worry about low box office revenue, or no revenue at all.
With this idea forming in his mind, Qi Longbing glanced at Hua Xiaomo, a smile also gracing his face.
Hua Xiaomo was looking his way too, and in his gaze was a tenderly moving feeling, a distinct sense of Meng Meng. He felt that Qi Longbing was truly a very responsible father. He was really good with children; when he was with them, they were always very willing to listen to him. Conversely, if he were the one explaining it all, he probably wouldn’t have that same sense of accomplishment. He also didn’t know how to explain to Candy about the Little Monk’s ultimate fate. From his perspective, if the movie didn’t provide a clear resolution, a careless explanation could easily mislead a child. But Qi Longbing’s explanation was spot on. After all, the ultimate goal of a movie is to make the audience feel comfortable and happy. A film that leaves viewers with regrets always sends them home disappointed. Therefore, he believed the Little Monk would ultimately have a perfect resolution, and he eagerly awaited that outcome.
As the plot progressed towards its climax, Sun Wukong finally reawakened. He donned his battle robe and, Golden Cudgel in hand, was fully roused. Perhaps invigorated by the Little Monk’s spirit of sacrifice, he finally unleashed his immense power and broke free from his restraints. He became Sun Wukong at his strongest. Then, he engaged the Caterpillar Monster in battle, sending it flying out of sight with just a few kicks.
But he wasn’t finished. Filled with intense hatred for the Caterpillar Monster for killing the Little Monk, he charged back in and utterly pulverized it.
He felt that only by doing this could he avenge the Little Monk. He had really liked the Little Monk. But even after destroying the Caterpillar Monster, the Little Monk would not awaken.
His heart ached with sorrow. Standing on the high cliff, gazing at the distant scenery, he was overcome by a stark, palpable melancholy.
