After Jiang Chen came to S City, he didn't seem to have any intention of going back.

People who used to be busy with work seem to have suddenly started to retire and become househusbands.

Shen Mingyou has received lunch specially delivered to the set by Jiang Chen for three consecutive days.

Jiang Chen brought Nian Nian and ran to the set at almost noon, just like the previous two days, to bring lunch to Shen Mingyou. After a few days, the crew members were no longer surprised.

"Mr. Jiang, you're here to bring a loving lunch to Teacher Shen again." Tang Qian was eating the lunch prepared by the crew, and looked at Jiang Chen with a little envy as he placed the lunch prepared for Shen Mingyou on the table one by one.

Tang Qian has actually saved a lot of money over the years. As the leading actor of a production, he can afford to have his assistant prepare a sumptuous lunch for him alone. However, Tang Qian is a very stingy person. Since the production crew provides free lunch, why should he spend extra money to buy it himself? Therefore, as long as he has a scene, he and his assistant will usually have lunch on the set.

The crew of "Asking the Sky" is not short of money, and the food prepared for the staff is considered to be one of the more expensive ones in the crew. Before Jiang Chen came, Shen Mingyou, like him, also ate in the crew, but after Jiang Chen came, Shen Mingyou started eating alone.

Just like now, Jiang Chen placed a table full of lunch boxes on Shen Mingyou's small table. Except for a few dishes that were not very well cooked, the other dishes were packed in Yu Shiju's wooden lunch boxes, which were obviously delivery from Yu Shiju.

Nian Nian also helped her father to arrange the food. Seeing Uncle Tang's eyes kept looking over here, she thought for a moment, picked up a big chicken drumstick with chopsticks, ran over and put it in Tang Qian's lunch box, "Uncle Tang, this is for you."

Tang Qian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, my young master is really good to me. He knows to give his apprentice a big chicken drumstick to eat."

"I'm not a junior master." Nian Nian shook her head, refusing to admit that she had such a big apprentice. She said, "This big chicken drumstick is a gift. Mom said that today is Uncle Tang's birthday. This braised chicken drumstick was made by my father himself, and Nian Nian also helped. I just picked the biggest one for Uncle Tang, as a birthday gift from Nian Nian to Uncle Tang."

Tang Qian was a little touched. Xiao Nian Nian picked the biggest chicken leg for him as a birthday present. Although it was not as expensive as other people's gifts, the child's intention was the simplest and most sincere.

"Thank you Nian Nian." Moved, Tang Qian picked up the chicken leg and took a big bite, but as he chewed, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

The taste of this chicken drumstick is just too ordinary. The meat is overcooked and hard to chew. There is not enough saltiness. It tastes really bland. Tang Qian has always had a heavier taste, and this chicken drumstick is really not to his liking.

But this is the child’s intention.

Tang Qian swallowed the chicken in his mouth and asked, "Niannian, was this made by your father?"

"Yes."

Tang Qian looked towards the small table not far away. He had just found it strange that among the pile of Yu Shi Ju lunch boxes, there were a few dishes that didn't look very good. It turned out that these dishes were made by Jiang Chen himself!

No wonder it tastes so bad.

Nian Nian asked: "Is it delicious? If it is, I'll give you another one."

"No, no, I'm full. You and your family can enjoy your meal slowly." Tang Qian was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly. He held his lunch box and gave the small space in the corner to the family of three. Then he ran away quickly and squatted to eat his lunch with his assistant.

He has bad teeth, so he really can't enjoy this big chicken drumstick.

Shen Mingyou, who had just finished washing his hands, saw Tang Qian holding a lunch box and running faster than a rabbit, as if someone was chasing him.

"Mom, come and have dinner." Nian Nian saw her mother coming over, and happily came over to hold her hand and brought her to the small dining table. "Mom, this, this, and this dish are all made by Dad and Nian Nian. Try today's and see if it tastes better than yesterday's."

"It doesn't matter. If you don't like it, just eat the food at Yushiju." Jiang Chen handed her the chopsticks.

Shen Mingyou took the chopsticks and tasted two of the dishes that didn't look very good. Seeing that Jiang Chen and Nian Nian were looking at her with the same expression, Shen Mingyou said, "It's improved. It tastes better than yesterday."

Then, the father and daughter's eyes, which looked very similar, were filled with smiles at the same time.

Shen Mingyou also smiled.

She picked up some food for Nian Nian and when she turned around, she accidentally met Jiang Chen's eyes. It was just a normal eye contact, but at that moment, Jiang Chen immediately retracted his gaze, as if deliberately concealing it. He picked up the water glass and lowered his head to drink the water.

Shen Mingyou: “…”

Shen Mingyou felt that Jiang Chen had become strange in the past few days.

Several times, she noticed that Jiang Chen seemed to be secretly looking at her. When she discovered him, he either pretended to be calm or looked away with a slightly uncomfortable look.

It's a bit strange.

And Jiang Chen seemed to be treating her better than before these days.

Every morning, no matter how early her scenes were, he would personally drive her to the set, and pick her up at night. He would even personally prepare lunch boxes and deliver them to the set. There were two lunch boxes, one made by Jiang Chen himself, and the other in a special delivery box from Yushiju. Jiang Chen probably knew that his cooking was not good enough, so he specially prepared two lunch boxes so that Shen Mingyou could choose which one to eat... Old Du...

Jiang Chen, who used to only have work in his mind, suddenly seemed to no longer have to work and spent all day just hanging around his wife and children.

Not to mention Shen Mingyou couldn't adapt, even Nian Nian felt that her father was a little strange.

However, Nian Nian thought that her "weird" father was pretty good. He spent plenty of time playing with her and always took her to stay with her mother. With both her parents by her side, Nian Nian was very happy, so she automatically ignored her father's weirdness.

Shen Mingyou couldn't ignore it. She was eating while thinking about her worries. When she looked up again, Shen Mingyou found that her feeling was right. Jiang Chen was indeed peeking at her again.

Jiang Chen, who was caught, continued to cover up by drinking water.

"..." Shen Mingyou continued to eat. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something. The corners of her mouth curled up and a smile instantly reached her eyes.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?"

Shen Mingyou laughed out loud: "Nothing, I just suddenly discovered something very interesting."

Nian Nian asked: "What's the matter?"

Shen Mingyou smiled mysteriously: "This is a secret."

Nian Nian pouted her lips: "Can't I share my mother's secret with her?"

Jiang Chen also looked up, he also wanted to know the secret his wife told him.

"A secret is no longer a secret once it's told to others." Shen Mingyou said with a smile, "Don't Nian Nian and Dad also have a little secret that they don't want Mom to know?"

"..." Nian Nian's pouting little mouth, which was shiny with greasy food, fell down in an instant. When she and her father were left-behind father and daughter at home, they did hide several little secrets and agreed not to tell their mother. After the last incident of secretly eating instant noodles, Nian Nian already knew that little secrets cannot be spoken out and must be kept confidential.

Nian Nian sighed in distress. If she had known this, she would not have kept the little secret with her father. In this way, her mother might have told her the little secret.

After lunch, Jiang Chen took Nian Nian home.

There were people coming and going on the set, and it was not convenient for Jiang Chen to stay there with the child all the time, and it would also disturb Shen Mingyou's work. He usually stayed there with Shen Mingyou to finish lunch, and then left with Nian Nian.

Today, Tang Qian, the new neighbor next door, came back with Jiang Chen.

It's Tang Qian's birthday today, so he held a birthday party at home and invited Jiang Chen's family, as well as the director, assistant director, producer, and two or three other actors with whom he has a good relationship.

The male lead Tang Qian didn't have many scenes, and he happened to have nothing to do on the set in the afternoon, so he came back with Jiang Chen and Nian Nian, planning to go home early to decorate the birthday scene.

When the car just arrived at the door of his house, Tang Qian found a person standing at the door.

Lin Jing was wearing a work suit and standing in front of the door, looking like she had just arrived.

Tang Qian immediately got out of the car and greeted him happily: "You're here."

He thought that Lin Jing would not come to his birthday party.

Lin Jing nodded, and after greeting Jiang Chen who had gotten off the car, she looked at Nian Nian and asked, "Does Nian Nian still remember Auntie?"

"I remember." Nian Nian nodded. This auntie seemed to be a good friend of her mother. When she first met this auntie, she even soiled her pants. Not only did the auntie not let Nian Nian lose money, she also brought her a gift.

Seeing that Nian Nian still remembered her, Lin Jing smiled: "Auntie and Uncle Tang are going to prepare a birthday party together. Nian Nian, do you want to prepare with us?"

Nian Nian wanted to go, so she turned around and looked at her father.

Jiang Chen is not really idle. He is actually very busy at work, but because he has to spend time with his wife and children, he has to put his work on hold for the time being. While Shen Mingyou is filming, he will finish some of the more difficult and important tasks.

Seeing Nian Nian looking at him with expectant eyes, Jiang Chen nodded.

Then, Nian Nian was taken to the neighbor's house next door, while Jiang Chen returned to his own home and started his afternoon work.

Tang Qian had never taken care of a child before, and he felt quite novel about taking care of a child as young as Nian Nian. So, Tang Qian began to search everywhere in the house, wanting to bring to Nian Nian anything that a child could eat or play with.

Nian Nian and Lin Jing were sitting in the living room. Nian Nian asked, "Is Auntie really my mother's good friend?"

Lin Jing nodded.

Nian Nian tilted her head and said, "Then why have I never seen Auntie before, nor heard Mom mention you before?"

Lin Jing did not answer but asked: "Does Nian Nian have any good friends?"

Nian Nian thought about it. She didn't have any good friends before, but now, she seems to have good friends. Nian Nian nodded and said, "Yes."

"Good friends sometimes get mad at each other." Lin Jing smiled. "If Nian Nian's good friend suddenly stops being friends with her, what will Nian Nian do to get her friend to play with you again?"

Nian Nian asked: "Why did my good friend suddenly stop playing with me?"

Lin Jing: "Suppose that because Nian Nian did something wrong and hurt her best friend, that's why she doesn't want to play with you anymore."

"Nian Nian will apologize to her good friends."

"What if an apology doesn't help?"

Nian Nian thought for a moment and said something shocking: "Then just go ahead and ask for it?"

Lin Jing: “……?”

"If you go after them, your good friend won't be able to get away and will probably play with Nian Nian." Nian Nian heard her grandfather tell her father that people shouldn't be too concerned about face and that sometimes being a little shameless might make things easier. This was a method that Nian Nian overheard secretly.

Although I don’t know if this method will work, and Nian Nian has never tried it, but grandpa is so smart, and it’s always right to listen to him.

Because of Tang Qian's birthday, Shen Mingyou finished work early today.

After an afternoon of work, with the help of Nian Nian, Tang Qian's yard was beautifully decorated, waiting for the guests to arrive.

Tang Qian hosted a barbecue party. The ingredients were already prepared and the guests could eat and chat while grilling.

Everyone was already present. Tang Qian had originally invited Huo Xingze, but Huo Xingze had a commercial to shoot today and did not come to the crew, so naturally he could not come to the birthday party.

Tang Qian took a birthday group photo and said regretfully, "It would have been nice if Teacher Huo was there too."

Although Huo Xingze is younger than him, he is a real actor and the youngest actor to win the Best Actor Award. Tang Qian's acting skills are average, but he still likes talented actors like Huo Xingze.

Jiang Chen, who was standing next to him, paused when he heard this. He thought, it’s a good thing that Huo Xingze didn’t come.

Shen Mingyou was sitting on a chair. Next to her sat Jiang Chen, who was holding Nian Nian, on one side, and Lin Jing on the other.

Since that day when he got drunk, Shen Mingyou and Lin Jing have not been in contact again. After knowing the truth about their breakup, Shen Mingyou was angry at first, but after that, he felt more relieved.

It's just that the two of them haven't been in touch for so many years. They are both proud people, and it's not easy for them to take that step.

When Shen Mingyou was about to peel shrimps for Nian Nian, two peeled shrimps suddenly appeared on the plate in front of her.

One was passed from the left and the other from the right and placed on her plate at the same time.

Shen Mingyou glanced to the left at Jiang Chen, then to the right at Lin Jing. The two shrimps were passed to him from their hands.

Jiang Chen also raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Jing, then said to Shen Mingyou: "You like to eat shrimp, eat more."

Tang Qian, who was standing next to Lin Jing, silently took back the plate he had extended.

Lin Jing hates eating shrimps and she never knows how to peel them. When Tang Qian noticed that Lin Jing was peeling shrimps, he felt happy for a moment because he thought that the shrimp was definitely being peeled for him.

Because Tang Qian likes to eat shrimps very much, and today is his birthday.

Although Lin Jing was usually indifferent to him, today on his birthday, she actually thought of helping him peel shrimps. How could Tang Qian not be happy?

Seeing that the shrimp was being peeled in Lin Jing's hands, Tang Qian immediately took the plate over and wanted to take the shrimp.

But who could have thought that the shrimp would end up in Shen Mingyou's bowl!

Tang Qian felt a little embarrassed.

Look at Mr. Jiang, the boss of Shen Mingyou's family, his eyes seem to be glued to Shen Mingyou.

Then he looked at his own boss Lin. Not only did he ignore his boyfriend, but he also focused on other people's wives throughout the party.

Is it because his boyfriend is not handsome enough?

In the end, Shen Mingyou ate one of the two peeled shrimps and fed the other one to Nian Nian.

But that’s not the end. When Shen Mingyou had just finished eating the shrimps, two more peeled shrimps were handed to him from the left and right of the plate.

Shen Mingyou: “…”

Jiang Chen looked at Lin Jing: "Mr. Lin, just take care of yourself. I will take care of my wife."

Lin Jing is not a person who admits defeat. She looked at Jiang Chen and said, "When I met Youyou, President Jiang didn't even know where he was."

Jiang Chen: “…”

Huo Xingze left and Lin Jing came. The former might be a love rival, but I don't know why the latter wanted to compete with him.

The producer on the side, seeing that the two big bosses were full of gunpowder, hurried out to smooth things over: "Boss Jiang, Boss Lin, today is Teacher Tang's birthday. I think why don't we raise a toast to Teacher Tang?"

After they toasted Tang Qian together, Jiang Chen's cell phone suddenly rang.

When he picked it up, he found it was a call from his brother-in-law Zhao Yan.

After Jiang Chen answered the phone, he learned that Zhao Yan came to S City on a business trip today and came to see Shen Mingyou. Zhao Yan knew Jiang Chen's new address and came directly to find him. He was now knocking on the door next door, but no one opened the door, so he called him.

Tang Qian, who was not good at drinking and got drunk after just one glass of wine, heard that someone else was coming and immediately said, "Another guest is coming. Just come to my place. It's more lively with more people."

Having said that, Tang Qian ran to open the door, and then pulled Zhao Yan and Zhao Qi, who were waiting at the next door, back to his home.

Zhao Yan hadn't seen Shen Mingyou for a long time. He came to S City on a business trip today, so he thought of visiting her as well.

After Zhao Qi knew about it, he wanted to come with him. Zhao Qi had always wanted to apologize to Shen Mingyou in person because of the last time Guan Qian spread rumors about Shen Mingyou on the Internet, so he agreed out of weakness.

Zhao Yan originally didn't want to agree, but Zhao Qi was hospitalized a few days ago due to poor health and was just discharged these two days. The weather in City A has not been very good recently and it rains all the time. Zhao Qi's legs were seriously injured in order to save him in the fire before. A large area of ​​skin on her legs was burned and necrotic. Although the scar healed a lot through skin grafting, it still exists. Zhao Qi rarely wears skirts because of this. She has undergone several operations on her thigh knee joints and still has some sequelae. Sometimes it hurts unbearably when it rains, and she has to be hospitalized when it is serious.

Zhao Yan couldn't bear to refuse, so he brought Zhao Qi with him.

When Shen Mingyou saw Zhao Yan and Zhao Qi come in, he just glanced at them and continued to feed Nian Nian.

Zhao Yan showed up at someone else's birthday party without saying hello. He said embarrassedly, "I didn't prepare any gifts either. How about this? I'll grill something for everyone. I'm a professionally trained griller, so it's sure to taste good."

Tang Qian said politely, "How can I let a guest take action?"

"No problem." Zhao Yan rolled up his sleeves and walked over, ready to grill skewers for everyone.

There were already many skewers of meat on the grill, with a lot of oil dripping from them. The charcoal underneath was grilling very hot, and as soon as Zhao Yan passed by, flames suddenly jumped out and burned.

Shen Mingyou looked over there and frowned.

Tang Qian hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhao Yan picked up the skewers and put out the fire skillfully.

Seeing that there was no problem with Zhao Yan, Tang Qian continued to greet the guests, and he arranged for Zhao Qi to sit not far from Shen Mingyou.

Zhao Qi looked towards Shen Mingyou several times, but there were too many people around and it was too noisy, so she couldn't open her mouth. So she just sat there quietly, thinking of finding a time when no one was around to apologize to Shen Mingyou.

After a while, Zhao Yan brought over the grilled skewers.

"Aren't you afraid of fire?" Shen Mingyou suddenly asked when he passed by her, "Are you okay?"

She remembered that Zhao Yan suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder after the fire when he was eleven years old. After being rescued, he could not even mention anything related to the fire. His emotions would get out of control if he did. Although he got better afterwards, he became afraid of fire from then on.

Shen Mingyou always thought that Zhao Yan's illness had not been cured, but when the raging flames suddenly burst out from the grill just now, Zhao Yan did not seem to panic at all.

It looks like he is not afraid of fire at all.

Zhao Yan wondered, "How do you know I'm afraid of fire?" There was a fire in his home when he was eleven years old. After that, he was afraid of fire. But as he grew up, this problem gradually got better. But when the fire happened, Youyou was far away abroad and had no idea about it. Her family never told her about it.

So, Youyou probably doesn’t know that he is afraid of fire.

Did dad mention it to Youyou?

When Zhao Qi, who was standing by, heard them talking about the fire that year, she froze up, clenched her hands tightly under the table, and looked at Shen Mingyou anxiously.
