Chapter 164 Qin Fang has a new baby.
A few days later, the crew started working again. The third female role had been replaced. The incident involving Xu Xia had caused a lot of controversy, and many people who had been bullied by her spoke out. It was difficult to resolve the situation, but Shen Zhiyi no longer paid attention to the specifics of the matter.
During the filming of the new drama, Qin Xiaoran came to visit the set and brought a big news.
"My brother, Qin Fang, has a child."
Shen Zhiyi looked at her blankly, and the apple in his hand fell to the ground.
"W-what?"
Didn't you say you were dating before? How come you suddenly have a baby? It's so fast that you can't even ride a rocket.
Qin Xiaoran laughed at her expression of being completely unable to react, "It's not that strange, everyone has an illegitimate child, I don't know which of his girlfriends gave birth to this child, she asked for some money and ran away, leaving him a son, you know what, that child is quite handsome."
Shen Zhiyi picked up the apple silently. She had been with Pei Yu for a long time and always felt that they were no different from ordinary couples. Only when she heard these explosive things about Qin Fang did she feel that they were living in two completely different circles.
"Then," Shen Zhiyi frowned, "will he continue to go on blind dates?"
"It's not up to him to decide. My dad asked him to go on a blind date, so what can he do? Just raise the child. He's not short of money."
Qin Xiaoran asked excitedly, "Do you want to see the child? I'll bring him to you to play with for a few days."
"..." Shen Zhiyi shook his head, "Forget it, I don't have time."
She said with a smile, "Don't play around, children are also people."
"I know," Qin Xiaoran was still a child himself, so naturally he had no sympathy for children. "I was just saying that. The child was very noisy and cried every day. I didn't go home recently."
"Hey," she asked suddenly, "Can I go live in Hua Ting?"
Even in their eyes, Hua Ting was a very beautiful manor. It was a pity that since Pei Yu took over, fewer and fewer people could enter, let alone hold a banquet.
Shen Zhiyi washed the apple again and said, "You have to ask Pei Yu."
She has no say in this matter.
"Tsk," Qin Xiaoran sighed, "Brother Pei Yu will definitely not agree."
If she asked her, it was nothing. There were so many empty rooms in Huating, and she wouldn't affect their world of two. At most, she would take up a few minutes of Sister Zhiyi's time to chat.
She stayed with Shen Zhiyi for a while and left after Shen Zhiyi started filming.
In the evening, Pei Yu came to pick up Shen Zhiyi.
She was still thinking about Qin Fang's illegitimate child, and asked curiously, "Did you know that Qin Fang suddenly had another child?"
"Hmm?" Pei Yu opened an email, "I know."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Shen Zhiyi complained a little. She was not a gossipy person, but she was still very concerned about the affairs of the people close to her.
After closing the computer, Pei Yu looked up and said, "Count how long you talk to me every day."
He had to film during the day and read the script and memorize the lines at night. He was not even allowed to hug her, because it would distract her. Pei Yu had no time to talk about his own affairs, let alone others.
Shen Zhiyi: "..."
Well, she was in the wrong again.
She took the initiative to hug him and nuzzled into the crook of his neck, "I promise, I'll take a break after filming this movie."
Pei Yu did not comment on this. In fact, she was a person who could not sit still. It would be fine if there was no script she liked, otherwise she would not give herself a holiday.
In the evening, because Shen Zhiyi was curious, Pei Yu called Qin Fang for the first time.
Qin Fang answered the video call, looking dusty and listless. "Brother Pei."
Pei Yu leaned back in his chair, letting Shen Zhiyi sit in his arms, and said lazily, "Look at your son."
Qin Fang: "...Do you two think this is a zoo?"
He walked into another room with his phone and pointed the camera at the crying child. "Look, my son, he looks so ugly when he cries. He's not as handsome as me, his father, at all."
Shen Zhiyi looked at the child and said, "He's crying so pitifully."
She had not had much contact with children. Duan Jiaze was one of them, but he was very well behaved and had hardly cried except for the time he was frightened. Qin Fang's son was not even one year old and was at the age when he loved to cry.
Pei Yu was not interested in other people's children. He glanced at the screen after hearing her words and told Qin Fang, "Don't let him cry."
Qin Fang was speechless, "If I could stop him from crying, why would I have to wait until now?"
He pointed the phone at the child, allowing Shen Zhiyi on the other end to come face to face with the child.
"The babysitter we hired is totally useless. No matter how we comfort him, he keeps crying. I'm so fed up with him - Eh? Why isn't he crying anymore?"
Qin Fang was talking when he noticed the child stopped crying. He picked up his phone and looked at the child's tear-stained face. He met the child's big round eyes, and the child opened his mouth and started crying again.
Shen Zhiyi felt puzzled, "Why did you make the child cry again?"
"It's unfair." Qin Fang put the phone back and let her read it herself. "I didn't do anything... You're not crying anymore?"
The child was very handsome when he wasn't crying, but because he was still young, it was hard to tell whether he looked like Qin Fang. It was the first time Shen Zhiyi saw such a young child, and he was very curious. He waved at him tentatively.
The child immediately grinned.
"Oh my god," Qin Fang was shocked, "How did you coax him? It seems like he stopped crying as soon as he saw you."
"I didn't do anything." Shen Zhiyi also felt strange and turned sideways to let Pei Yu see, "Look, he's not crying anymore."
Pei Yu glanced at him casually, and the child met his gaze with an expression that looked like he was about to cry.
Both of them were frightened. Qin Fang shouted, "Don't, don't let Pei Ge'er show his face. What if he cries?"
It took a lot of effort to stop crying.
Shen Zhiyi was also startled and quickly blocked Pei Yu, "I can't see it anymore."
Pei Yu: “…”
Is there any evidence to prove that the child was scared by him and was about to cry?
Tsk, unhappy.
After some experiments, Qin Fang determined that the child stopped crying because he saw Shen Zhiyi, and she didn't have to do anything. As long as he saw her, the child's emotions would become very calm. It was more useful than any toy.
The problem was that Shen Zhiyi was someone else's child and couldn't look after the child for him. Qin Fang thought about it and found a flat board to hang above the bassinet to replace the toys there, and then put a photo of Shen Zhiyi on it.
Sure enough, the child became unusually well-behaved. When he opened his eyes and saw Shen Zhiyi's photo, he hummed a few times without shedding a single tear.
Qin Fang was so moved that he sent a message to Pei Yu in the middle of the night.
"Brother Pei, does my sister-in-law need any resources? Do you want money or a role? Just tell me."
"It would be even better if you could lend me your sister-in-law for a few days~"
Shen Zhiyi had already fallen asleep. Pei Yu was too lazy to reply to his stupid message and simply turned off his phone.
