"How do I comfort you?"
"Read a collection of English poetry, or anything else."
She had heard Lu Jinzhou holding a video conference with an overseas branch before. He spoke with a fluent British accent, which was so deep and magnetic that it was simply enchanting.
Lu Jinzhou went to the study and got a collection of English poetry. "Go lie down on the bed."
Chen Nianchu was very obedient and only left a night light on. She lay down obediently, admired the man's handsome profile for a while, then closed her eyes and listened to the pleasant and low voice.
Lu Jinzhou read three poems and looked up at the screen of his mobile phone. The person inside was breathing deeply and pouting slightly, which was the habitual movement when Shen Nian fell asleep.
Lu Jinzhou closed the book and looked at her sleeping face for a while. There was a look of doting on her handsome face that he himself was not aware of.
What's wrong with this?
Where can't you sleep?
At the moment of hanging up the video, I hesitated for a moment, but after thinking it over, I decided not to hang up the video. I put the phone on the wireless charging table on the table and turned off the lights.
…
The next day.
Shen Nianchu set the alarm for six o'clock and reached out to turn it off immediately. As a result, she saw Lu Jinzhou's face in her sleepy eyes and reacted for a few seconds, "When did I fall asleep last night? You didn't hang up the video?"
"Well, I read poetry to you all night."
Shen Nianchu naturally didn't believe it. Her sleep quality was average. If there was constant noise, she would definitely not be able to sleep through the night.
"You can lie with your eyes open, right? I said I slept so well last night, it must be because you were with me in disguise!"
Lu Jinzhou threw back the quilt and got up, a smile on his face. "Are we starting work now?"
"Well, it was my alarm clock that woke you up, right? It's only six o'clock. You can go back to sleep. I'm going to wash up and get ready for work."
Lu Jinzhou: "I'm going to do morning exercises."
As soon as Shen Nianchu finished washing up, Ye Huan and Mo Mo came knocking on the door.
Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Ye Huan asked, "The birthday girl is celebrating her birthday, and you don't even feel grumpy when you wake up?"
Shen Nianchu paused, "What day is today?"
"November 16th, you even forgot your birthday?"
"Oh, I really forgot."
As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang again. It was the person sent by Lu Jinzhou to deliver food, fresh longevity noodles with a poached egg on top.
Ye Huan: "Sure, your Master Lu even knew to prepare longevity noodles for you."
Shen Nianchu had never mentioned her birthday to him before, but she didn't expect him to know. Considering he might be working out, she took a photo and sent it to him, along with a cute emoticon. (Thank you.jpg)
Lu Jinzhou: [Happy birthday.]
Ye Huan was gossipy and watched from the side. "No way, you didn't even call me baby? Or any other nickname would be fine, just a dry 'Happy Birthday'?"
Chen Nianchu put away her phone. "Tsk, isn't that tacky? Everyone calls each other "baby" or "darling" when they're in love. I just don't like that."
"So he just gave you a bowl of noodles? No birthday present at all? Or was this bowl of noodles the only birthday present?"
"I have to get ready for work early in the morning, why would I prepare a birthday gift? This is really thoughtful. You know how much he has taken care of me during this period of time."
Seeing her defending him like this, Ye Huan said worriedly,
"Nianbao, please don't let my love-brained behavior lead you to emulate Wang Baochuan and go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables. It's true that he takes care of you, but the meaning of a birthday gift is different from other gifts. This is also your first memorable day together. If you enjoy this first one well, all future festivals, big and small, will naturally require a sense of ceremony. Why don't you remind him?"
Shen Nianchu took a bite of the perfectly soft-boiled egg and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"No, no. Every day we spend together is memorable. I don't care about this one thing. Besides, he invested in this drama because of me. First, he invested 60 million, and then he added another 40 million, which adds up to 100 million. I haven't thought about asking him for a birthday gift. Many people give gifts and flowers for birthdays, but few give him longevity noodles."
Ye Huan was originally very disappointed with her friend, but when she thought about the 100 million, she no longer had any opinion about her best friend's boyfriend.
"If you say so, then it's really not easy to bother with those trivial matters. Lu Jinzhou is really willing to spend money on you. One hundred million...tsk tsk."
Although this amount of money is really nothing to Mr. Lu from Beijing.
But not everyone can make Lu Jinzhou pay for it.
Mo Mo was packing up the things that Shen Nianchu would take to the set later. "If you ask me, Master Lu is so good to Sister Nian and has taken such good care of her these days. He must have thought of things like birthday gifts. Maybe he will wait until tonight to give Sister Nian a surprise."
Ye Huan: "That's true."
Shen Nianchu didn't say anything. Right now, she was quite satisfied. What was important was not what he gave her, but that he cared about her.
…
As soon as she arrived on the set, many people wished her a happy birthday, and her fellow actors even prepared birthday gifts for her. She had never received such treatment on a set before, and she was quite flattered. It really is different when you become famous.
He Yanbei gave her a Hermès collector's bag, which was quite expensive, costing upwards of six figures.
"It can cure all diseases. I hope your left wrist can heal quickly so that you can use it to buy fried dough sticks and soy milk."
The second before, Shen Nianchu felt a little embarrassed because his gift was too expensive, but the next second, that embarrassment disappeared.
Wasn't it just that when he was a kid, he was ignorant and didn't know the value of things, so he secretly took He Yanbei's backpack, which was worth tens of thousands and had only been used a few times, and put fried dough sticks in it. The lining was stained by the fried dough sticks, and then Yu Wanhua bought him an identical one as compensation, and he still holds a grudge for so long.
Shen Nianchu: "No wonder I'm still single. Straight men are still petty."
He Yanbei laughed, not angry at all, "You talk as if you're not single."
As soon as the words fell, a coquettish female voice came from the side.
"It turns out my cousin is still single~"
Shen Wanqing, wearing a pink fur coat and sky-high leather boots, with gorgeous and delicate makeup, stood in front of the two of them. "I thought you had suddenly become a resourceful person and had found some wealthy sponsor~"
Shen Wanqing had never mentioned the relationship between the two in public before. Now she suddenly appeared in the crew where she used to be and spoke loudly about it. I don’t know what her intention is.
Shen Nianchu used to look down on Shen Wanqing, but when she heard the word "gold master", the first person that appeared in her mind was Lu Jinzhou. She felt guilty and unhappy.
"If I were you, I would never appear on this set again."
"We're all former colleagues, so what's wrong with me visiting the set?"
Director Liu sat on the chair with his legs crossed, holding a thermos cup, and snorted coldly, "Oh, you really embarrass me. I don't have a former colleague like you."
Shen Wanqing had previously been at odds with the crew over issues related to filming and numbers, and had argued with Director Liu several times on set, and Director Liu really didn't have the good temper to deal with her.
