United States, on the eve of the World Food Festival. A corner of the food festival exhibition hall. Two white children surrounded a Chinese little boy who was about three years old. "Are you the little wizard from the Eastern Magic World?" a freckled-faced boy curiously asked the Chinese little boy. Thanks to WEI’s influence, kids in NY state now know of a magical power that only people with black hair and black eyes possess – LU (braise). The little boy being asked certainly doesn’t know magic, but his mother is WEI— the creator of this magic, Xia Chuyi. In other words, this Chinese little boy is the son of Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi, Huo Lixing, just turned three, little friend Huo Shiwu. Huo Shiwu inherited his parents’ handsome looks, with a little stern face, as serious as his father. In a strange country, surrounded by unfamiliar children, little Huo Shiwu raised his head and looked at the people in front of him. Two foreign little imps, one tall and one short, besides the little freckled one, there was also a very "tall" blonde-haired boy. The situation was not in his favor. So, little Huo Shiwu calmly planned to use his small frame to his advantage and squeeze through the blockade of foreign kids to get outside. But little did he know, as soon as he moved, the "tall" golden retriever blocked him. "Hey, you little imp, John is talking to you!" Relying on his towering stature, the golden retriever easily blocked little Huo Shiwu’s path. Stopped by someone, little Huo Shiwu paused and looked at the golden retriever. The tone of this golden retriever was extremely bad, worse than that of the little imp earlier, by countless degrees. So, this golden retriever had malice towards him. Little Huo Shiwu’s stern little face tightened his lips together. Seeing little Huo Shiwu not speaking, the golden retriever imp shouted at him: "Hey, are you so rude, little imp?" "Mos, don’t be so fierce, okay?" The little freckled one suddenly said, "You’ll scare the wizard!" "John, don’t be fooled by these little imps!" The golden retriever exclaimed, "There’s no such thing as magic in this world, they’re deceiving people, making everyone buy their food!" "You’re talking nonsense, there is magic..." Hearing the golden retriever’s words, the little freckled one became displeased. In an instant, the two began to argue. Little Huo Shiwu looked at one, then the other. The imps had internal disagreements, favorable to him. Thus, little Huo Shiwu took advantage of the distraction, lifted his short legs, and ran. However, before he "escaped" far, the golden retriever discovered and chased after him: "Darn, stop running!" Stop running? Only a fool would stop running! Little Huo Shiwu ran even more joyfully. But alas, being too small, after a few steps, he directly bumped into a foreigner. "Dad, help me catch this little imp, he’s a thief, he stole my money!" The golden retriever falsely accused. "What?" The golden retriever’s father reacted with disdain, "So young and he’s stealing already!" Speaking, he stretched his leg, about to kick little Huo Shiwu. Little Huo Shiwu’s sharp eyes and quick reflexes allowed him to spit a mouthful of tax saliva at Mos’ father, twisting his little body to avoid him, running to the side. "Hey, damn little imp!" The golden retriever’s father, spat upon, was very displeased, reaching out to grab little Huo Shiwu. No matter how smart or clever, little Huo Shiwu was merely a three-year-old, seemingly about to be caught. Someone stepped in first, pulled him aside, and picked him up. "Councilman William, someone on your country’s soil is attempting physical harm on a member of my delegation’s child," said Huo Shiqian, holding little Huo Shiwu, imposing and cold-faced, to a nearby casual United States official, "Is this your country’s hospitality?"
