Chapter 132 Two Phone Calls.
Chapter 132: I don’t like competing with others.
More than three months have passed since the start of filming, and the shooting is gradually coming to an end. The male lead finished shooting ahead of schedule, and the crew booked a private room to celebrate for him, so they finished work before dark.
Shen Zhiyi removed her makeup, and the kiss marks on the side of her neck were particularly eye-catching, so she had to cover them up again. Thinking of the absurdity of last night, she wanted to get angry. He left so many marks that she didn't dare to look the makeup artist in the eye when she was putting on makeup today.
But this man flew off on a business trip before dawn, without even giving her a chance to vent her anger.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyi looked at her phone. The chat history with him was still in the morning. When he left, he left breakfast and a note, and roughly mentioned what he was busy with. However, she had just got up at that time, and when she looked in the mirror, she found marks all over her body, so she ignored him out of spite.
He was probably busy and didn't send any other messages.
As I was lost in thought, my cell phone rang. It was Duan Jiaze.
The page buffered for two seconds, and Duan Jiaze's chubby face appeared on the screen.
Inexplicably, this scene felt familiar. Before Shen Zhiyi had time to think about it, Duan Jiaze started yelling.
"Aunt! Aunt!"
"Ah," Shen Zhiyi remembered that Duan Jiaze had called her early this morning. Pei Yu had asked him to call her that. She couldn't help but smile, "Well, are you having lunch?"
"Yeah," Duan Jiaze just came back from school and couldn't wait to continue yesterday's topic, "Aunt, when are you and uncle going to have a baby? Can you tell me when you do?"
Shen Zhiyi: “…I don’t know either.”
Could this also be something Pei Yu taught me?
Not wanting to discuss this topic with a child, Shen Zhiyi changed the subject and asked, "Were you scolded by your uncle when you called this morning?"
"Yes!" Duan Jiaze nodded repeatedly as if he had found an ally, and said a little depressedly, "Uncle said you were sleeping, aunt, why are you willing to sleep with uncle? Did he buy you something you like?"
Children have simple thinking. He will be very happy to receive the gift and completely forget how Pei Yu bullied him. He thinks Shen Zhiyi is the same. His uncle must have given her a lot of gifts to please her so quickly. He is a little envious.
Shen Zhiyi didn't know how to explain to him, "Didn't you ask me to be nice to your uncle?"
"That's not what I meant," Duan Jiaze slapped himself in the face, feeling guilty, "I think you should be a little mean to your uncle. He's a little too proud."
Shen Zhiyi was amused by his words, "Your Chinese has improved a lot now."
He even knows how to say "delighted".
"Because my uncle arranged a Chinese teacher for me," Duan Jiaze showed a painful expression, "Chinese is too difficult to learn!"
Why does he have to learn three languages? That's terrible.
But when he thought that he could use Chinese to attack his uncle after learning it, he felt that it was still worth it. At least it could reduce the chance of being cheated by Pei Yu.
Xiao Dong was knocking on the door. Shen Zhiyi took his coat and went out. "I can't chat with you anymore. I have to go to the wrap-up party."
Although he didn't understand what wrap-up was, Duan Jiaze still understood what a banquet was. "My uncle is also attending the banquet. Are you attending the same one?" "Pei Yu?" Shen Zhiyi thought Pei Yu was still out of town at the moment. "No, we are not in the same place."
"Not here?" Duan Jiaze was not sure. He just called Pei Yu and Secretary Qin answered the phone. He told him Pei Yu was busy and hung up. He nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to be careful, aunt."
He secretly glanced to the side and saw that his mother was not looking at him. Duan Jiaze said quickly, "My mother said that there are many people who want to be my aunt. You have to be careful and don't let others take your uncle away from you."
Children's remarks are all heard from adults. Shen Zhiyi was a little unhappy after hearing it. It was not directed at anyone. She had already understood what Duan Jiaze said. She only felt a little disappointed after hearing it before, but it was different now. She had an indescribable feeling.
She pushed open the door. Xiao Dong didn't say anything when he saw she was on the phone. He took her bag and went to the side to send a message to the driver.
"If your uncle can snatch it away, then I don't want it."
"Ah?" Duan Jiaze found it hard to understand. "Why? If someone wants to snatch my airplane model from me, I will definitely protect it with all my might. No one can snatch it from me!"
"You're talking about your toys," Shen Zhiyi whispered, "your uncle is not a toy."
After a pause, she said unhappily, "I don't like to compete with others."
"I think they are all the same." Duan Jiaze didn't quite understand what he heard, but he roughly understood what Shen Zhiyi meant. It meant that if someone wanted to snatch his uncle away, Shen Zhiyi would not want his uncle. Oh my god, that's terrible. He didn't want to change his aunt at all. "Aunt~"
He acted coquettishly, "Auntie~"
Alas, his uncle might not be able to live up to his expectations, so he should just act coquettishly and cutely to please his aunt. What if his aunt can stay for his sake? Duan Jiaze thought happily.
"What are you doing?" Shen Zhiyi thought he was just playing and smiled. He saw the driver driving the car over and said, "I really can't chat with you anymore. Come eat quickly."
They were having lunch over there, and it was time for dinner over here. The male lead left first with Director Meng, while Shen Zhiyi and the screenwriter took the same car. It was dark when they arrived, and the last bit of bright sunlight had completely faded away.
Drinking is inevitable at the wrap-up party, and Shen Zhiyi is no exception. In order not to drink so much, she planned to go to the bathroom to hide away in the middle of the party. She met the second female lead of the crew, and they smiled at each other, knowing that the other came out to avoid drinking.
"Let's go this way. Don't let Director Meng see us." The actress took Shen Zhiyi to take a detour. "I'm familiar with this place. There's a restroom at the end of this corridor."
She was walking in front, chatting with Shen Zhiyi as she walked. In the middle of her conversation, she paused, blocked the road, made a gesture to Shen Zhiyi to keep quiet, and pointed ahead.
Looking in the direction of her finger, the figures of a man and a woman were vaguely visible on the small balcony on the side of the corridor, very close.
It was far away and the light was dim, so she couldn't see the faces of the two people clearly. The actress just wanted to watch the fun, so she pulled Shen Zhiyi to stop and lowered her voice, "Let's watch the fun for a while before leaving."
When a single man and a single woman are alone together, there might be something interesting to watch.
Shen Zhiyi was not interested in other people's affairs, and she didn't like eavesdropping. If it were any other time, she would definitely have taken a different route, but this time she stood there without moving.
The actress couldn't recognize him, but she was very familiar with Pei Yu's figure. Even if she just saw him from a distance, she would not make a mistake.
But she didn't know who the woman standing with Pei Yu was.
