Jiang Xia slept soundly until dawn, and when he woke up it was already 10 a.m.
I vomited up everything in my stomach while taking a shower last night, and I feel a strong hunger as soon as I wake up.
He pushed open the door and went out. There was no one in the living room. On the dining table was a note from Xia Shanshan and a day's living expenses.
son:
I'm going to class. Don't worry about your dad at noon. I'll leave the money here for you. Figure out your own lunch.
Your dearest mother,
7:30
Looking at the concise message on the note, Jiang Xia decisively picked up the 20 yuan on the table and put it into her bag.
His stomach was growling loudly, so while he was washing up, he boiled water and cooked himself a bowl of light noodles, and in the process, he tried to recall his fragmented memories.
I drank a bit too much yesterday. I vaguely remember blacking out while taking a shower, then collapsing onto the bed, closing my eyes, and losing consciousness.
It seems that one should drink less alcohol, as drinking too much can lead to trouble.
After the college entrance examination, he still has a lot to do and must not waste time on useless things.
After thinking for a moment, he called Lin Yanwan while eating noodles, intending to ask about the dubbing progress of the tenth episode of Tom and Jerry.
As soon as I opened the call log, a casual glance at it made me freeze.
He called his wife around 11 pm last night? And the call lasted for more than half an hour?
Is this true?
He has absolutely no recollection of it.
Did you accidentally bump into it while sleeping?
After all, feature phones of that era didn't have a screen lock, so accidental button presses were common.
The problem is, why didn't his wife hang up the call immediately after noticing the abnormality?
With these questions in mind, Jiang Xia dialed his wife's number.
Lin Yanwan was sitting in front of the piano dubbing the video for the tenth episode when her phone suddenly rang.
"Master, your husband is calling you. Master, your husband is calling you..."
She couldn't help but feel annoyed, and her fingers slammed randomly onto the piano keys in a huff. Because of the comical noises mixed in, the recording had to be discarded.
If Jiang Gouzi doesn't give her a clear explanation later, she'll make him pay!
"Hey, what do you want?" she asked in an unfriendly tone.
Jiang Xia didn't detect any emotional fluctuation in his voice and chuckled, "Nothing much, just wanted to ask how the baby's voice acting is going?"
"How dare you say that?" Lin Yanwan said irritably, "The dubbing of the scene where Tom chases the canary was almost finished, but then some nasty guy called at that exact moment, and I had to dub it all over again."
Jiang Xia's expression froze, and he quickly tried to appease her, saying, "He really is a despicable guy. How about next time you see him, I'll give him a good beating to vent your anger?"
"Pah, shameless." Lin Yanwan spat. How could hitting yourself hurt? This guy really has the nerve to say that.
"Then punish him by making him suffocate to death with a three-minute French kiss the next time he sees his darling!"
"Dream on. Is this a punishment? I think it's more like a reward." Lin Yanwan snorted softly. All she does is daydream. She felt like she was suffocating after just three minutes of kissing.
"Okay, are you done or not? If not, I'm hanging up. There's so much to do, and joking around is prohibited during work hours!"
Yes, yes.
Jiang Xia pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Baby, did I call you last night?"
"Hmm, I did." Lin Yanwan didn't deny it, after all, the call records were there, and denying it would only show that she was guilty.
Besides, what does she have to feel guilty about?
"Well... I don't think I said anything wrong, right?" He scratched his neck, his tone very uncertain.
Lin Yanwan's lips curled slightly, and a smile unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
"Someone was sleeping like a log, snoring, and wouldn't respond no matter how I called him. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore and hung up the phone in a fit of anger."
Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his wife would call him "I miss you" or "I love you" randomly, which would be too embarrassing.
"Next time you don't drink, go to the table next to the kid. I still haven't settled the score with you for talking nonsense in front of my mom last night."
Jiang Xia looked embarrassed when he heard his wife's complaints.
Is Mom home? I'll come over to find you in a bit.
“She’s already at work. And, Comrade Jiang Xia, how many times have I told you, she’s not your mother anymore. You should call her Aunt Ji.”
Lin Yanwan specifically criticized him because Jiang Xia often mispronounces names, which makes it easy for him to mispronounce names in certain situations.
The thought of her mother asking her last night if the two of them had secretly done *that* made her blush.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Hearing his extremely perfunctory answer, Lin Yanwan felt helpless.
Knowing he's wrong but refusing to repent, and daring to do it again next time—that's pretty much a true reflection of Jiangxia.
Having been together for twelve years, they had long since figured out his behavior patterns.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yanwan looked at the word "husband" and her gaze softened. Considering that he had confided in her last night, she decided not to be angry with him today.
She opened her phone settings and, to prevent him from calling again and ruining her plans, decisively switched to silent mode.
Then I thought about it and decided to turn off that weird ringtone too. What if he heard it? It would be so embarrassing.
Switching back to the video, accompanied by Tom's chase and the canary's escape, her fingers pressed the piano keys one after another, and the sound effects became rapid and cheerful.

After finishing her noodles, Jiang Xia called Wang Ming again.
"Hey, Lao Jiang, what's up?" Wang Ming put his phone on his shoulder, tilted his head, and held it between his ear and his brush, sketching out complete lines without pausing for a moment.
Jiang Xia asked, "It's nothing, just asking casually. Is there anything in the storyboard of episode eleven that you don't understand?"
"No, not for now. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll call you to ask."
"By the way, when you took Shen Ying home yesterday, did your relationship progress any further?"
"No." Wang Ming sighed. "I went back after seeing her off. Although I really wanted to confess to her while I was drunk, Lao Jiang, I just couldn't bring myself to say it."
"No rush, no rush," Jiang Xia chuckled. "Good things come to those who wait. Take your time. You two are both working for me now, how could Shen Ying possibly run away?"
"That's true. But you didn't call just to gossip, did you?" Wang Ming asked in a strange tone.
"Let's get down to business. Did you talk to Teacher Li about this when you got home yesterday?"
"I told you, my mom is home right now. Why don't you come over now?"
...
(Yan Wan and Jiang Xia created their character cards at the same time, so how come their number of hearts differed so much after just one day? Do you both like the female lead? [Sneaky face])
