On the afternoon of the day the filming of the drama was completed, Lin Zhi packed his luggage and flew to Country M that day.
Half an hour before that, she called Yu Zheng.
"Boss Yu, I need to take a half-month break. You have to agree to it, whether you want to or not. I've already booked the plane ticket."
"What are you doing? Act first and ask for permission later!"
"I guess so. After the Lantern Festival, I'll be back to join the crew."
"Does Lanchen know that you're going to rest for such a long time?"
"You're the boss. I don't need to report to him. That's it for now. I'm packing up."
Without giving the other party a chance to speak again, Lin Zhi finished speaking and hung up.
…
Sitting in the car on the way to the airport, there was no moment when she wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly to Sarah.
Although we make video calls every day, it’s not as intimate as being together in real life.
*
After the New Year, there was a heavy snowfall in Country M.
After being stuck at home for a few days, Sarah asked Lin Zhi to go out to the park.
It just so happened that Lin Zhi wanted to buy her spring clothes, so he took her to the mall.
Country M is different from China. During the Spring Festival, shopping malls are still crowded.
Lin Zhi wanted to wait until noon when there were fewer people, so he took her to a nearby park first.
After the snow, the sun came out and spread golden light all over the ground.
Sarah, sitting in the stroller, struggled to get out of the ground.
Lin Zhi had no choice but to hand the stroller to the nanny, who carried Sarah out.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Sarah happily scooped up the snow on the roadside.
Because she was afraid of the cold, Lin Zhi specially gave her a scarf, hat and gloves, and was not worried at all that she would catch a cold.
Seeing her playing, Lin Zhi also stood aside and waited leisurely.
Soon, more and more people came to the park, and it was almost noon.
"Sarah, shall we go?"
"No, I want to play more."
Sarah responded in a baby voice, but didn't want to look back.
She squatted in the snow, holding a small wooden stick she had picked up from somewhere, and kept fiddling with the snow on the lawn.
Lin Zhi checked the time on his phone and then spoke to the babysitter in English, "Look after Sarah here first. I'm going to the mall."
The nanny watched her walk away, moved the stroller forward, and walked to where Sarah was closest to accompany her.
Lin Zhi went to the clothing store alone and picked out two coats according to Sarah's usual size and bought a sweater.
After paying the bill, she went to the toy store next door and picked out the Barbie doll that the little girl liked.
It was an hour later when we left the mall.
She returned to the park along the same route and saw from a distance a graceful lady squatting in front of Sarah on the path, holding her little hand.
The two seemed to be chatting about something and looked very harmonious.
Looking at the nanny next to him with a serious expression, Lin Zhi unconsciously quickened his pace.
“Sarah.”
"Mommy."
As Sarah ran towards Lin Zhi, the woman who was squatting on the ground just now slowly stood up and turned to look at her.
Lin Zhi looked at her, his expression suddenly froze, "Uncle, Auntie."
"Ms. Lin?"
Mother Fu was also surprised.
Looking at the little girl beside her, Mother Fu was even more shocked, "Is this little girl your daughter?"
Lin Zhi admitted generously, "Yes."
"lady."
A man in a dark blue coat jogged back from somewhere else.
After whispering something in Fu's mother's ear, Fu's mother's expression changed slightly. She looked at Lin Zhishi, trying her best to suppress her emotions and smiled slightly: "Ms. Lin, I didn't expect to meet you in a foreign country. I have something to do here, so I'll leave first."
Lin Zhi nodded, watched her walk away hurriedly, bent down and held Sarah in his arms.
The nanny hurried over, took the handbag hanging from her arm, and pushed the cart in the opposite direction.
"How did you meet that lady just now?"
Lin Zhi asked the nanny.
The nanny answered truthfully, "She came over by herself and played with Sarah."
Lin Zhi frowned slightly, "What did you say?"
Without waiting for the nanny to respond, Sarah, who was hugging Lin Zhi's neck, said in a baby voice, "The grandma asked me what my name was and praised me for being pretty."
Lin Zhi felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
That was indeed grandma, my real grandma.
But seeing her daughter's cute and lovely appearance up close, she had to suppress the mixed feelings in her heart, smiled and touched her forehead to hers, "Is that so? My Sarah is a beautiful little princess."
"Mommy, you are also a beautiful princess."
She raised her chubby little hands and playfully pinched Lin Zhi's face.
"Ah, so cold!"
Lin Zhi couldn't help but scream.
Sarah laughed out loud.
After only ten meters, Lin Zhi could no longer hold on. "Mommy, I can't hold on any longer. Your weight is no longer suitable for me to hold you."
She had to put Sarah in the stroller, then took the daddy doll she had just bought at the mall from the nanny and stuffed it into Sarah's hand, "We are going to eat now."
Sarah saw the new toy, and her eyes, like black grapes, suddenly lit up. "Wow, it's so beautiful."
She uttered something in English in amazement.
Seeing that she was overjoyed, Lin Zhi was so relieved that his face showed on the corners of his mouth.
At the same time, Fu's mother was sitting in the car, staring at the street scene outside the window in a daze.
"Little boy, you are so pretty."
…
"Ma'am, phone call."
Mother Fu's thoughts were suddenly brought back to reality by the man sitting in the front passenger seat.
She picked up the phone and it was an unimportant call.
