Chapter 68 Wait for me to come home.
An An looked at Gu Yicheng in disbelief.
Why is Dad like this!
She puffed up her cheeks angrily, buried her head, and walked very fast with her short legs.
Gu Yicheng didn't even need to take big steps, he could catch up with Xiaotuanzi at a normal speed. He followed her and coaxed her for a long time, still a little puzzled in his heart. He prepared a Valentine's Day gift for Mo Sui, why did he bring this little guy?
"Valentine's Day has nothing to do with you. Mother's Day is your turn to prepare gifts for your mother." Gu Yicheng persuaded on the side.
Gu Yicheng persuaded all the way, and finally arrived at the parking lot. Xiaotuanzi saw Mo Sui getting off the car.
She threw herself into her mother's arms with grievance, and even the back of her head was filled with sorrow.
"What happened?" Mo Sui said anxiously, "Dad is angry with An An?"
Little Tuanzi nodded heavily: "Dad secretly prepared a Valentine's Day gift for Mom, and An An didn't prepare anything."
Gu Yicheng: ...
The last surprise was ruined by Assistant Fang.
This time, it was ruined by my own daughter.
In order to appease his daughter, Gu Yicheng left his car here and carried An An to Mo Sui's car.
An An sat in the safety seat.
"Dad can guess what An An ate in kindergarten today." Gu Yicheng decided to change the subject.
An An's attention was attracted by her father, and she looked at him curiously.
However, although she was small, she was not so easy to fool. She shook her head and looked unconvinced.
Gu Yicheng reached out and touched the little girl's bulging belly: "I guess An An had the meat paste with soy sauce today."
An An raised her head and blinked foolishly.
Gu Yicheng continued to touch her, pretending to be thinking hard: "Are there also mushrooms and vegetables, braised prawns and seafood tofu soup?"
An An's eyes widened in surprise and touched her belly: "How did Dad know?"
"Dad has magic, he can tell by touching An An's belly." Gu Yicheng said with a smile, "I can also guess what snacks you had in the afternoon."
Mo Sui held the steering wheel and almost laughed out loud.
What magic? Didn't I just read the "Today's Recipe" in the kindergarten this morning and secretly wrote it down?
"Daddy, touch it again!" An An puffed out her belly.
"Snacks in the afternoon are bunny custard buns and soy milk." Gu Yicheng said seriously.
This is simply amazing!
An An was completely coaxed by Gu Yicheng. She shook his arm and acted coquettishly, hoping that her father would teach her this skill.
"If I learn this magic, An An will be able to feel out what Tiantian had for breakfast at home in the future!" The little dumpling looked expectant.
...
This day was the simplest but warmest Valentine's Day that Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui had spent in the more than ten years since they knew each other.
They exchanged Valentine's Day gifts with each other, and the moment they opened the gifts, the smiles on their lips could not be concealed.
An An looked at her father's gift, then at her mother's gift, her mouth opened into an "o" shape.
Until now, she still didn't quite understand what Valentine's Day meant, and said in a confused manner: "An An, don't you have any?"
"No," Gu Yicheng said, "You can receive gifts on Children's Day."
"How long will Children's Day be?" The little girl blinked.
"More than three months," Gu Yicheng said.
An An could feel that more than three months should be a very long time.
However, she still didn't give up. She looked at her mother eagerly and asked in a baby voice, "How many days are in more than three months?"
Mo Sui took out his mobile phone, opened the calendar, and actually counted for her: "One hundred and six days."
In the evening, Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui happily celebrated Valentine's Day, and An An, who was sitting on the side, was given a small calendar.
She crossed her short legs and poked the numbers on the calendar with her chubby fingers.
February, March, April, May... Little Dumpling gradually felt despair.
One hundred and six days, a number that could not be counted even with all the fingers and all the toes!
Gu Yicheng originally thought that he could get rid of his daughter with a calendar, but he didn't expect that the shocked child finally realized that it would take a long time before Children's Day. She was exhausted and went to her parents' room with her little pillow to sleep.
An An got into the quilt and squeezed in between her parents.
Mo Sui laughed and kissed An An's face: "Every day is so fun, day by day, it goes by quickly."
An An fluttered her little feet and listened to her parents talking about what fun things would happen next.
Mom's award, Mom's and Dad's wedding, tasting the ripe cherries and radishes in the kindergarten's vegetable garden, and May Day...
An An rubbed her hands, eager to try.
Finally, she held her mother's arms with her two little hands and gradually fell asleep.
Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui stayed by An An's side and watched her for a long time.
The child fell asleep, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised. Maybe in her dream, she received a precious Children's Day gift.
Time passed by, Gu Yicheng got out of bed quietly, and picked up the little pink pig.
Mo Sui: ???
Gu Yicheng said innocently, "Today is Valentine's Day."
At Gu Yicheng's strong request, Mo Sui went to open the door of the master bedroom.
He carried An An and sent her to the children's room.
Along the way, the two did not dare to speak, and took every step carefully.
An An seemed to be aware of the movement and opened her eyes in a daze.
Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui looked at each other, touched their conscience, and carried her back to the master bedroom.
An An fell asleep next to her parents at night. When she woke up early the next morning and found that she was sent back, she would be so disappointed!
An An knew nothing in her dream. After being tortured for a few minutes, the chubby little ball was still nestled between her parents, sleeping soundly.
…
April is the season of spring and blooming flowers.
At the beginning of the month, Mo Sui and Zhou Mingmin were both nominated for the Best Actress in the Pear and Apricot Film Awards. Netizens had guessed this a long time ago, but after seeing the list of nominees, it still caused heated discussions.
[Although both are film queens, I feel that Mo Sui
has a better chance of winning. ] [I watched "Twin Cities" twice. Zhou Mingmin's role is very cute, but in comparison, Mo Sui's performance is more profound. ]
[Zhou Mingmin's breakthrough this time is also very big. You can feel that she is acting with her heart. I am a fan of Mo Sui, but the two sisters have a good relationship, so I also started to be a fan of Zhou Mingmin. No matter who wins the award, we fans will be happy. 】
【Fans talk better than they sing. If one of you wins the award, I guess your two fans will quarrel. 】
【I agree with the above. Even if the two fans don't quarrel, Zhou Mingmin and Mo Sui will quarrel. One of them won such a prestigious award, and the other was just a runner-up. Who would feel good about it? I'm leaving it at that. If that happens, they may not even be friends. 】
The Internet is full of discussions about the competition between Mo Sui and Zhou Mingmin.
Ruan Qingqing scrolled through the comments and put down her phone.
If she could go back to the past, back to the recording period of "Intern Parents", she would probably be like some of the netizens, watching the excitement and not minding the big deal. However, after truly getting rid of the constraints of the plot, Ruan Qingqing had already let go of the obsession in her heart.
In the original plot, she was a big star with many fans and a husband who was truly considerate and caring for her. But now, she is just an ordinary actor. She has participated in auditions again and again. There is no chance of pie in the sky. Every role that cannot be smaller must be fought for.
Ruan's mother said that she could ask Mrs. Sheng for help. However, when she thought of the relationship between Qiqi and Sheng Yan in the extra story of the original plot, Ruan Qingqing really couldn't ask for help from the Sheng family without scruples. Maybe she thought too much, but if Qiqi would still get closer to Sheng Yan when she grew up, then she hoped that the relationship between the two families would be equal.
It was not easy for Ruan Qingqing to take care of Qiqi alone. But fortunately, she was not an unknown person in this circle. Although she did not make much money along the way, she was still down-to-earth.
When she was most tired, she would hold Qiqi and tell stories to the child. The mother and daughter read the book "The Paper Bag Princess" many times together. Ruan Qingqing read the story to Qiqi and reminded herself at the same time, because Huo Zichen came to her again.
After the Huo family went bankrupt, Huo Zichen lived a very unhappy life.
A young man who had been a child and had everything he wanted now had to earn money to support his family and take care of Jiang Hairu. The burden of life almost crushed him. He felt exhausted physically and mentally, and began to recall Ruan Qingqing's understanding, and became more and more reluctant to part with her.
Huo Zichen appeared downstairs of Ruan Qingqing's house countless times, standing from the cold winter to the early spring, waiting for her to give him a chance.
Ruan Qingqing did not soften her heart.
The last time, she came downstairs and stood in front of him.
Huo Zichen had lost a lot of weight, his clothes were no longer as exquisite as before, and his face was full of stubble.
He mentioned that he couldn't find a suitable job, that Jiang Hairu missed Qiqi, and how much the Huo family, the third son outside, and the illegitimate son had brought it upon themselves...
But Ruan Qingqing didn't want to listen.
She said, "These are your family's affairs, and have nothing to do with me. Qiqi and I are living well now, and I hope you won't disturb us."
Huo Zichen pleaded, "I don't believe you are so heartless."
Ruan Qingqing took a deep breath and said slowly, "Qiqi is your daughter, and I can ask you for alimony. It's come to this point, you don't want to get involved in a lawsuit again, right?"
Huo Zichen froze as if a thunderbolt had struck him.
"Let's part ways in peace." Ruan Qingqing said this and turned away.
Just like what she was taught in "The Paper Bag Princess", even if she had given everything, she should still have the courage to get out in time.
...
In mid-April, the Lixing Awards ceremony was officially held.
On this day, the red carpet was star-studded, and Mo Sui and Zhou Mingmin were undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
They attended the red carpet with the crew of "Twin Cities".
Mo Sui tied her long hair up high, revealing her slender neck. She wore a black fishtail dress with a waist design and a hem that outlined a graceful line, elegant and high-spirited.
Zhou Mingmin wore a white dress, looking ethereal, with a lively smile and bright eyes.
He Qisheng appeared with them. When the host asked him who he hoped would win the award, he answered perfectly.
"Mo Sui and Zhou Mingmin are both excellent actors. Without one of them, Twin Cities would not be so outstanding. I am happy no matter who wins the award. In fact, in my opinion, both actors should win the award at the same time. It's a pity that there is only one trophy for the Best Actress of the Pear and Apricot Awards."
Mo Sui and Zhou Mingmin smiled at each other.
The award ceremony began, and all the guests sat in the audience.
Mo Sui and Zhou Mingmin sat close to each other, whispering gossips in each other's ears from time to time, but at the same time, they were also nervous.
For Mo Sui, this award is not unimportant. Like all the nominated actors, she hopes to get the honor of the Best Actress of the Pear and Apricot Awards.
However, she did not have an obsession in her heart.
Because just before she went out this morning, their An An waved his little fist to cheer her on.
At that time, Xiao Tuanzi said that it would be best to get a trophy, but if she didn't get it, she would have another chance next time.
Just like the first time An An got a trophy, it was at the parent-child sports meeting, but that was just the beginning, because later in kindergarten and in interest classes, she won many more trophies.
Like the trophy for the best participant in the kindergarten morning assembly performance, the trophy for the child who was best at loosening the soil in the cherry and radish planting competition, the trophy for the Lego small competition...
Mo Sui laughed when she heard it.
She laughed at Xiao Tuanzi for taking everything too simply, but on second thought, the child was not wrong.
She is still young and has many opportunities. The Lixing Award is held every year. As long as she performs well, she will always get this honor.
Of course, although Mo Sui had let it go, when the award-giving guest walked onto the stage, holding the envelope in his hand, about to reveal the answer, her heart still hung in the air.
Mo Sui and Zhou Mingmin held hands tightly.
"A little nervous." Zhou Mingmin muttered.
Mo Sui whispered, "I'm nervous too."
[They're so funny, holding hands down there, do they think we can't see...]
[Mo Sui seems to only show such a lovely side in front of Zhou Mingmin, they are indeed best friends who grew up together.]
[When I watched the Lixing Awards ceremony before, the actors would manage their expressions well before the awards were announced, and they looked very calm. Only Mo Sui and Zhou Mingmin stared straight at the stage, it was so funny.]
[I'm waiting for the two sisters to become estranged because of this award.]
[Don't be so sour above, true friendship can stand the test! 】
"Now let us announce that the winner of this year's Lixing Award for Best Actress is——" The award presenter adjusted the angle of the microphone with his hands and smiled to keep the secret, "Before announcing the award, let's take a look at the shortlisted short films."
On the other side, Gu Yicheng and An An sat on the sofa together, looking at the TV screen nervously.
The father and daughter agreed that if Mo Sui won the award, they would celebrate for her, and if she didn't win, of course they would have a good meal to comfort her.
"An An, do you think Mom will win the award?" Gu Yicheng asked.
The little girl nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
"Why?" Gu Yicheng smiled.
"Because when the teacher asked us what our wishes were, An An made a wish for her mother!" The little girl puffed out her chest, full of confidence, as if any wish she made would come true.
Gu Yicheng then remembered a picture that the teacher had sent in the class group in the afternoon.
He was busy at the time, and when he saw the dense text on the picture, he didn't open it to take a closer look. Now, after hearing what An An said, he lowered his head and clicked on the group chat to find the picture again.
The first line of the picture is the teacher's question-the kindergarten is going to celebrate a collective birthday for the children. Do you have any birthday wishes?
Next are the children's answers, arranged according to their student numbers.
Child No. 3 wants a box of osmanthus cake as a birthday present.
Child No. 6 wants to give his mother a lollipop.
Child No. 9 wants a greeting card.
Child No. 11 wants to become Rodriguez in "Super Wings".
An An is Child No. 17.
She said that she wants her mother to have a smooth job.
Looking at this line of words, Gu Yicheng's eyes were filled with smiles.
The child should have heard the conversation between Mo Sui and him these days and knew that his mother valued her work very much.
Scrolling down the group chat history, there are replies from other parents.
[What kind of angel baby is Child No. 17? He actually hopes that his mother will have a smooth job! 】
【Baby No. 17 and the baby who wants to buy lollipops for his mother are both so well-behaved...】
"Besides hoping that your mother's work goes well, what else do you want?" Gu Yicheng touched the little girl's face, "An An, make a wish to your mother, and mom and dad will help An An fulfill her wish."
"I want to watch Ultraman fight monsters in my dreams." An An said seriously.
The corners of Gu Yicheng's mouth twitched.
Recently, under Sheng Yan's forced recommendation, the little girl watched a few episodes of Ultraman, and he actually enjoyed it.
Sure enough, it's too early to say anything, this wish, he can't realize it...
"Next, let us announce the winner of this year's Pear Apricot Award for Best Actress--"
On TV, the background music became passionate and rapid, and the camera fell on the six nominated actresses sitting upright.
Every second that passed seemed to be particularly long.
Gu Yicheng and An An stared at the screen intently.
Little Dumpling was too nervous, so he took a bite of the soft candy, and the sweet taste of the candy flowed on his tongue...
"This year's Lixing Award for Best Actress - Mo Sui!"
The spotlight hit Mo Sui, and thunderous applause rang out.
One gaze after another turned to her.
Zhou Mingmin's expression changed from nervous to relieved. She smiled, stood up, opened her arms, and hugged Mo Sui tightly.
"Mingmin..." Mo Sui's voice rang in her ears.
Zhou Mingmin patted her friend's back gently and whispered, "I'm happy for you, Sui Sui, I'm sincere."
Mo Sui looked at Zhou Mingmin, her smile was as bright and pure as usual.
She knew that her friend was sincere, because if Zhou Mingmin won the award, she would feel the same way.
"Hurry up and get on stage." Zhou Mingmin urged.
Mo Sui walked up to the stage slowly, and her mind was like a movie, replaying the ups and downs along the way.
In the eyes of others, she took more than a year to rest and recuperate, and then started again, easily won the award, and deserved it. The whole process seemed to be just a blink of an eye.
But only she knew that during this not-too-long period of time, she almost gave up.
Give up her acting career and herself.
But fortunately, now she has stood up again.
The camera captured Zhou Mingmin's micro-expressions countless times, and her eyes were always sincere.
At this moment, looking at Mo Sui who was walking up to the stage slowly, the arc of her mouth never faded.
Mo Sui, who was on the awarding platform, held the trophy in her hand and gave her acceptance speech.
Her acceptance speech was still simple and clear, without tears, and the light in her eyes was like a bright starry sky, the most beautiful look.
Zhou Mingmin unconsciously thought of her childhood.
When she was in the second grade of elementary school, Mo Sui won the title of "Three Good Students" in the city, and stood on the podium, where the teacher awarded her a certificate and prizes.
Zhou Mingmin was very jealous of the automatic pencil sharpener that Mo Sui got, and her eyes were very greedy.
At that time, Mo Sui said with a firm face that it would be her turn next time.
Sure enough, the next year, Zhou Mingmin also received the same honor. That year, the school gave her a cartoon pencil case as a prize, which she liked very much.
To say that she didn't care about this award would be self-deception. Who wouldn't want the title of a double-award-winning actress?
But they were friends, true friends.
Zhou Mingmin was a little disappointed that she didn't get the award, but she didn't regret it.
The two of them came together, and it would be good if one of the sisters could win the award. This is called keeping the wealth within the family!
Zhou Mingmin smiled as she listened to Mo Sui calmly reciting a long "thank you list".
There were the organizers, director He, crew members, and of course her as a good friend.
"Finally, I would like to thank my family, thank you for your unconditional support and companionship." Mo Sui looked at the camera, the smile on the corners of her lips became softer, "Wait for me to go home."
[Ahhh——Did you notice Mo Sui's ring? This ring is different from the previous one, it's new! It looks so good, is it a gift from Mr. Gu? 】
【Suddenly I remembered that more than a year ago, at the Ningshan Awards ceremony, Mo Sui said in front of everyone that she was married and hoped that everyone would bless her... Now, in just over a year, the actress has once again achieved success in both her family and career. She is so happy. 】
【As a fan who has followed Mo Sui all the way, during her quiet time, I was always afraid that she would suddenly announce her retirement. Fortunately, she didn't...】
【Sui Sui said that she would wait for her to come home. Did she ask An An and Mr. Gu to wait for her to come home? I guess the actress and her family will have a midnight snack tonight to celebrate! 】
In front of the TV, Gu Yicheng was also very excited while holding his daughter.
Little Tuanzi held the balloon on the wall in his arms and threw it high up: "Wow! Mom is so great!"
Gu Yicheng stretched out his hand to grab the balloon and put it back on the wall: "This is for celebration!"
"Dad! Have you bought the strawberry cake?" When he heard the word "celebration", Little Tuanzi became even more excited.
"Of course I bought it." Gu Yicheng said with a smile.
"Where are the candles?" An An asked again.
Gu Yicheng was dumbfounded: "You still need candles? We don't have any at home."
"Hurry up and buy them!" An An said.
"Yes! Go buy candles, there's still time!"
Little Tuanzi was unwilling to get off and wanted to ride on his father's shoulders and go out like a little Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The father and daughter went downstairs together to buy candles for the cake.
An An didn't even wear shoes. She dangled her feet in front of her father's chest, clenched her fists, and made a "rush forward" gesture: "Go!"
...
On the other side, after the award ceremony, Mo Sui got in the nanny car, eager to go home.
In the car, she took out her mobile phone and saw netizens' discussions about her relationship with Zhou Mingmin in the topic of the Best Actress Award at the Pear and Apricot Awards.
The phone notification sounded, and it was a WeChat message from Zhou Mingmin.
[Mingmin: They are so annoying, can I use a big move? ]
Mo Sui laughed.
[Mo: Go ahead! ]
Three minutes later, Zhou Mingmin posted a Weibo.
[Zhou Mingmin V: @Mo Sui, it's vacation, take a break, and I'll be a bridesmaid next Saturday. 】
Mo Sui commented, forwarded, and liked the post.
Netizens: !!!
