Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Cognitive Biases
After experiencing the dryness in Yanbei for two days, Song Zhihan was still a little uncomfortable with the humid climate when he returned to Yuhang. He was so bored that he unbuttoned his coat.
The three of them parted at the exit. Lin Jie offered to take the two ladies home, but Song Zhihan knew his home address very well and knew that it was in two completely opposite directions, so he refused.
This time he came back earlier than expected. Song Zhihan did not call home, but bought Yan Bei's desserts to give them a surprise.
In the Song family villa, only sparse lights were left in the front yard. The carefully maintained flowers and plants snuggled together under the cold white light. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with curtains, and the lights in the house were very dim.
Are they not home? Song Zhihan felt a little lost, and his cheerful steps slowed down a lot. After being away for these days, he still missed them a lot.
After struggling to transfer the huge pastry box to his left hand, Song Zhihan unlocked it with his right hand.
With a creak, the door opened. Everything was silent. The only sound in the dim house was the sound of the suitcase's gears rubbing against the ground.
It seems that he is really not at home, but why are Sister Yue and the others not here? Are they on holiday together?
Song Zhihan muttered to himself and turned on the wall lamp. Bright light instantly filled the entire room.
At the same time, two sharp explosions sounded simultaneously.
"ah--"
"ah--"
When he realized what he had seen, Song Zhihan quickly covered his eyes with his hands and turned around.
Oh my god, what did she see? Is there anything more embarrassing than a child seeing their parents being affectionate?
With his heart beating rapidly, Song Zhihan turned off the light again, covered his eyes, and walked forward like a blind man feeling his way through an elephant: "Oh, why is it so dark in this room?"
She tried to get away with it by playing dumb.
Song Yazhi and Gu Chen looked at each other and saw the suppressed smiles in each other's eyes. Song Yazhi straightened her shirt that had slipped off her shoulders and turned on the light again.
Gu Chen smoothed his messy hair, quickly crumpled up the messy things around his neck and threw them into the corner.
The two of them tidied themselves, exchanged glances, and stood together on the path that Song Zhihan had to pass.
Song Zhihan was still walking blindfolded, her hands flailing in the air when she was suddenly grabbed. She froze for a moment, then shook it off with a dry laugh, continuing to walk forward in the dark unmoved.
Then he was caught again.
Can't pretend anymore...
Song Zhihan showed a pair of eyes from between her fingers, and tentatively looked at the two people standing in front of her, smiling at her: "Mom and Dad, I just got home and didn't see anything."
The couple looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Song Yazhi restrained her laughter, but Gu Chen became much more unrestrained, holding his stomach and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
Song Zhihan pouted, slowly lowered her head, and scratched it awkwardly. At this point, she decided to just go for broke. She placed the large gift box on the table and said, "We're ending early. Here are the desserts I brought. Some are for you, and some are for Sister Yue and Uncle Ji."
She bought the largest size available. This shop was known for its long lines, boasting a century-old history, and only those who bought in now could enjoy the food. Song Zhihan had paid someone to buy it for her and then laboriously carried it back, intending to share it with everyone in the family. Who knew she'd run into this scene upon returning?
"Okay, I'll try it now. I'm hungry." Gu Chen touched his empty stomach and sat casually on the carpet.
Song Yazhi sat next to Song Zhihan, quite a distance away from him.
Song Zhihan opened the box, revealing a nine-square grid with a different dessert in each grid. She picked out a raspberry one, carefully took it out with a paper insert, and handed it to Song Yazhi: "Mom, try this. The guide says this one is the best, sour and sweet."
Song Yazhi wanted to take it, but suddenly thought of something, lowered her head, lifted her hair, and bit her hand.
Such natural intimacy had not been seen between this mother and daughter for a long time. Song Zhihan stood there in a daze, blinking blankly, and the thick layer of armor in his heart loosened a little.
She still missed and longed for this intimacy.
"Mom, I want to try this too." His mouth was faster than his brain, and the words came out of his mouth before he could react.
This time, the unnatural person was Song Yazhi. She tucked the hair around her ears and pushed the cake in front of her to her daughter's mouth.
Song Zhihan buried his face in the cake, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, his eyes sparkling: "Delicious, delicious."
Song Yazhi looked at her satisfied expression and felt completely soft-hearted.
The mother and daughter showed their true feelings. Gu Chen was very jealous. The piece in his hand was no longer fragrant. He threw it on the table and said angrily: "I want to eat it too. Give me some to try."
Song Zhihan stuffed the cake into his and Song Yazhi's mouths in two bites, and looked at him arrogantly with his nose: "I won't give it to you."
The scream just now almost broke her eardrums. She still wants to eat cake? You’re dreaming.
Gu Chen snorted coldly and muttered in his heart, this naughty kid, not only did he delay his work, but he was even reluctant to share his cake with him.
The father and daughter were secretly at odds with each other until Song Yazhi went to an emergency meeting and the war was brought to the surface.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? You almost scared me to death, do you know that?" Gu Chen was filled with indignation.
"What about you? Why didn't you turn on the lights at home? I thought no one was home." Song Zhihan made sense.
"Idiot, you dare to say you didn't see anything?" Gu Chen sat on the ground, looking at her from bottom to top with his eyelids raised.
The scenes flashed back one after another, and Song Zhihan collapsed and covered his ears: "Don't say that anymore!"
Her resistance made Gu Chen a little nervous. He stopped being casual and jumped up from the ground to sit next to Song Zhihan with a serious expression: "Song Zhihan, do you know that you are already 25 years old? You can't be... completely ignorant of this kind of thing, right?"
After saying this, he felt a wave of fear in his mind. Could it be that his daughter still believes that as long as a man and a woman lie in bed and nothing happens, an angel baby like her will pop up?
Song Zhihan huddled in the corner of the sofa, mumbling, "I'm not as stupid as you think..."
She just always felt that her mother was very cold towards Gu Chen. She even suspected that although they slept in the same room, Gu Chen was not allowed to sleep in the bed.
Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but was not completely reassured: "I'm telling you, you've been deceived. All men are bad."
"Including you?" Song Zhihan stretched out his fingertips and poked his arm.
Gu Chen nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, that includes me."
He never considered himself a good person, but he only controlled his temper and remained patient because he was concerned about someone. Counting back another thirty years, he was a complete bastard.
The father and daughter were lying on the sofa, each in a corner. Song Zhihan suddenly said, "Dad, I just realized today that I seem to have misunderstood the relationship between you and Mom."
Gu Chen asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Song Zhihan thought about it seriously. "I used to think Mom married you so she could devote herself to her career. You had no financial power at home and no right to stop her from making any decisions. So Mom chose you. I always thought...her feelings for you were average."
But today she found that her understanding seemed wrong.
Mom faced Gu Chen in a manner she had never seen before. That would never happen between a couple without any emotional foundation.
Gu Chen jumped over and said loudly, "Nonsense! The man your mother loves most in this world is me!"
"I know, I know." Song Zhihan yawned. He felt a little sleepy and wanted to go to bed.
Gu Chen stopped her from leaving: "Do you want me to tell you a love story about parents that will make you cry?"
Song Zhihan waved his hand, showing no interest: "Let's do it another time."
She is so sleepy now and just wants to sleep.
Lying on the soft mattress, holding his Abebe in his arms, half asleep and half awake, Song Zhihan suddenly had a vague thought in his mind.
Since I have misunderstood the relationship between my parents, then are other things also not as I understand them?
For example, it is like mustard in the forest, and also like jasmine in the forest.
...
In just half a month, Lingdong has firmly occupied the top spot on the domestic animation list since its launch. Discussions on the plot and secondary creations of the characters are also erupting. In addition to the large group of original fans, the two-way running of the male protagonist and Luo Qing has also attracted a large number of new fans. The sales of the two-player peripherals are also far ahead. Everything is developing in a good direction.
"Look! Master's Yue Ru Gou has released its first trailer!"
This was like a thunderclap. All the employees on duty turned on their computers and clicked on the entry that topped the hot search list. Jusheng was wealthy and powerful. Whether it was dubbing or singing the theme song, they only hired top actors in the circle, standard krypton gold players.
They launched Yue Ru Gou six months in advance, and it was obvious that they wanted to compete with Lingdong for the market.
In an office not far away, Lin Jie supported his chin with one hand, watching the video being played with a slightly solemn expression. Even though he had been prepared for a long time, he was still surprised by their finished product.
After knowing each other for so many years, Ye Qinran actually played a trick in front of him.
"It's hard to say. With you gone and Kuan gone too, the team is pretty demoralized."
"Yes, I've reiterated several times that Yue Rugou's progress cannot be rushed, but Mr. Hu and the others are jealous of Lingdong's enthusiasm..."
…
Several people chattered, taking turns to express their opinions on the trailer of Yue Ru Houch.
"The modeling is terrible, far behind ours."
"That's right, the female characters' clothes are so perfunctory!"
"I'm not going to say any more. I'm going to troll them online."
When it comes to competitors, people have always been picky and no one would praise Yue Ru Gou even a word.
But looking at the rave reviews in the comment section and the rapidly rising rankings, Song Zhihan felt that the master was coming on strong this time.
Yes, they are the boss of the industry and will not allow an unknown person to suppress them, let alone the one leading the way is Lin Jie.
She didn't know whether Lin Jie and the master broke up peacefully, but if not, new grudges and old grudges would come together.
Song Zhihan was vaguely worried.
"Okay, stop looking at your computers. I'm going to introduce you to a new colleague."
James' secretary brought a tall girl into the office.
She was very tall, with narrow eyes raised high, dressed casually, and her legs, which showed through her high-waisted trousers, were 1.8 meters long. In short, she had a very imposing aura and was not someone to be trifled with.
Cheng Yang patted Song Zhihan's head: "Don't be in a daze, there are new people in the palace."
Song Zhihan woke up as if from a dream and suddenly looked up.
When he saw who was coming, his face froze.
Zhao, Wen, Di!
She will never forget this face!
She obviously also saw Song Zhihan and responded with a provocative and playful smile.
