Chapter 114: Men's pajamas appear in the picture.
After finishing the filming, Shen Zhiyi was going to do a live broadcast, so she just changed her clothes and didn't remove her makeup.
Xiao Dong helped to set up the equipment and then went back. She ordered some takeaway and said hello to the fans in the live broadcast room.
"The last time I did a live broadcast was two weeks ago," Shen Zhiyi answered the question on the barrage, "I've been very frequent, but I'm too busy filming and always can't find time."
Someone asked her if she was home, and she nodded, "It was here last time too. I didn't change the furniture, so you should be able to recognize it, right?"
"...You want to see the cloakroom?" Shen Zhiyi picked up the tablet. "There's nothing fancy in my cloakroom. I just put some clothes I usually wear there."
She has always been easy to talk to, so when fans wanted to see, she opened the door of her dressing room. As she said, she didn't have many clothes and accessories because the space in the house was not very large, so most of them were not hung out. There were only a few seasonal clothes in the closet.
The camera scanned several pieces of clothing, and she turned to leave. "I told you there's nothing to see... Nightgown? Which nightgown?"
Shen Zhiyi looked back at the closet. Her own pajamas were all light-colored and hung in the corner of the closet. Because of this, the dark gray men's pajamas were very eye-catching and were caught by the fans in the live broadcast room at a glance.
[It looks like a man's...Wow, Zhizhi has a man now! ]
[Who? Is it someone in the industry?]
[Could it be the male lead in Director Meng's new play? It seems that Zhiyi hasn't been in contact with any male stars recently.]
"Neither of them..." Shen Zhiyi just discovered the men's nightgown. She knew who left it behind without thinking. She reluctantly denied the fans' messy speculations, "A friend stayed here before, so he might have left it behind."
[Friend? Boyfriend? ]
[Which friend? Zhiyi, tell me in secret, I won’t tell anyone.]
"We're just ordinary friends," Shen Zhiyi said vaguely. Seeing someone listing the names of male actors she might have had connections with, she quickly explained, "He's not from the entertainment industry, he's not an actor, don't make wild guesses."
If you keep guessing, she'll be rumored to have a new scandal.
[Is it the one who came to your house last time? ]
[I remember, it was the one who came to Zhiyi's house to beg for food! ]
Unexpectedly, they still remembered it. Shen Zhiyi closed the door of the cloakroom and said "hmm" softly. Afraid that they would ask again, he immediately changed the subject.
After half an hour of live broadcast, Shen Zhiyi felt a little tired. After turning off the live broadcast, he washed up and took a rest. When he entered the cloakroom, he looked at the men's pajamas with worry.
Throw it away? Or ask him to pick it up?
She didn't hesitate for too long because Pei Yu called.
He had just finished a social event and bent down to get into the car, going from the empty outdoors into the quiet interior of the car. Without the interruption of noisy sounds, his voice was clear.
"Are you going to sleep?"
His tone was a little slow and seemed a little lazy. Shen Zhiyi was familiar with his accent, so he must be a little drunk.
"Ah."
It was stuffy in the car, so Pei Yu opened the window to let in some fresh air and tugged at his tie. "What time do we start work tomorrow?"
"Why are you asking this?" Shen Zhiyi didn't tell him, but even if she didn't tell him, he would still find a way to know, "Did you leave a nightgown in my house?"
"Hmm?" Pei Yu thought for a moment, then remembered this incident with a smile on his lips, "Did you find out?"
The next step would definitely be for him to take the clothes back.
Sure enough, Shen Zhiyi took off the nightgown and said, "Send someone to take it away."
It was impossible to ask someone to take it away, so Pei Yu knocked on the back of the chair and asked Secretary Qin about tomorrow's schedule to see if there was any free time.
"I'm going to have dinner at Huayuan in the afternoon, so I can make time." The dinner is of course not a simple meal, as I need to meet with several partners to discuss matters, but it is not a particularly formal occasion either.
Pei Yu relayed this, "Can you deliver the clothes around 5pm?"
Send it to him? Shen Zhiyi hesitated and did not agree immediately.
As if he had guessed what she was hesitating about, Pei Yu proposed a second solution, "If it's inconvenient, I can go to your house to get the clothes after I'm done."
After he said that, Shen Zhiyi felt that the first method was better. If she let him come to get it, it would be difficult to get him to leave again. Who knows what excuses he could come up to stay.
But she didn't agree completely, "If I'm free."
I don’t know if tomorrow’s shooting will go smoothly, and whether I can spare the time.
"Well," Pei Yu pinched his brows, looking very tired, "If you come, tell Secretary Qin to pick you up."
When she was about to hang up the phone, Shen Zhiyi suddenly thought that she didn't have to go, "If I can't spare the time, let Xiaodong go."
Or send it to Hua Ting? It is not necessary for the two to meet.
There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time. Shen Zhiyi looked at the screen to make sure the call was still going on. Just as he was about to speak, Pei Yu spoke.
He said helplessly, because he was tired and didn't want to use any strength, and spoke softly, "Zhizhi, if you don't want to deliver it, let me get it, okay?"
Don't deny him the chance to see her.
He didn't say more, but what he wanted to express was obvious.
Shen Zhiyi paused, remained silent for a moment, and softened his heart. "I'll see what happens."
The men's nightgown was spread out on the bed, and one could faintly smell the scent of agarwood. Shen Zhiyi looked at it for a while, then folded it and put it away.
The next day, Xiao Dong picked her up to go to the set. Seeing the shopping bag in her hand, he took it and asked, "What's in this?"
"Clothes," Shen Zhiyi answered, and saw Xiao Dong's expression of sudden realization. He immediately put the bag in the car. Without her saying anything, he had already guessed what he was going to do with the clothes.
"Do you want to send it back?"
I can tell from the sound of it that he watched last night’s live broadcast and knows the whole story better than ordinary fans.
Shen Zhiyi was actually a little hesitant, and inexplicably felt a little embarrassed in front of Xiao Dong, so she answered vaguely, "Not necessarily."
Suddenly I thought it would be better to let him get it himself.
She hesitated until the afternoon, and the filming of several scenes went smoothly. Director Meng was in a good mood and arranged a more luxurious dinner for the entire crew.
"Sister Zhiyi," Xiao Dong came back empty-handed, not taking their share of dinner, which meant that she would not eat on the set, "Are you going to deliver the clothes?"
Shen Zhiyi: “…go.”
On the way there, she received a message from Qin Xiaoran, asking her if she was going to Huayuan. She was having dinner there with her future mother-in-law, and if Shen Zhiyi was going too, she wanted to ask her out for a meeting.
Qin Xiaoran has been busy preparing for his wedding recently, and has chatted less frequently with Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi replied "OK", and then thought of asking her how she knew that she was going to Huayuan.
Qin Xiaoran: "Secretary Qin booked an extra box next to us. I asked him and he said it was prepared for you, but he couldn't guarantee that you would go, so I asked first."
As he said this, he winked at Secretary Qin who was standing next to him. The latter understood and handed the menu to the kitchen.
