In the following days, Qin Chong didn't come up with anything new, except to make the crickets chirp louder. The actors in the crew who used to be able to talk to Tong Zhao now avoided him, and Tong Zhao returned to his isolated life.
Tong Zhao was already very experienced in this matter. Just as he had analyzed before, the crew members did not dare to directly get involved in his feud with Qin Chong. At most, they would spread rumors about him.
Of course, there were also some unreasonable people who genuinely targeted him, occasionally making sarcastic remarks about Tong Zhao during rehearsals. Uncle Tie found a way to teach them a lesson and scare them, after which they became much more obedient.
However, the behind-the-scenes discussions became more intense, and rumors about him stealing his younger brother's boyfriend spread like wildfire. Fortunately, he didn't take this kind of subtle bullying to heart at all.
Tong Zhao wasn't the type to enjoy making friends. He was content with his daily interactions with Xiao Wen and Uncle Tie. Besides, Shan Song would video call him every night, treating him like a child and trying to comfort him, afraid that he might feel wronged in the slightest.
Ever since Uncle Tie told Shan Song about the situation on set, Shan Song's first three questions every day have been: "Were you bullied today?"
"Didn't I say I was relieved?" Tong Zhao pouted and sent a message before leaving the set: "[I wasn't bullied today!]"
【good.】
It's been a month since Qin Chong joined the crew, and Zhou Muyuan should have heard the news by now. Shan Song thought for a moment and discussed it with Tong Zhao that night: "I'll bring him back for you in a few days."
A question mark slowly appeared above Tong Zhao's head.
Shan Song suppressed a laugh: "Zhou Muyuan is coming to find you soon."
Tong Zhao realized why Qin Chong hadn't had time to bother him these past few days; he was busy preparing for his wedding. "That's perfect. I'll definitely have some free time too since Qin Chong is on leave. After I finish arguing with Zhou Muyuan, it won't interfere with filming."
"Well, it's okay if you go back to the film crew late. When the engagement is announced, the director won't dare to take his anger out on you anymore."
After Shan Song finished speaking, Tong Zhao was stunned for a moment, then felt both amused and exasperated. Just because Qin Chong had deliberately made Tong Zhao get scolded by the director once, Shan Song actually remembered it for so long.
"Actually, it's normal for directors to swear at people. And it only happened once. After they found out about my relationship with Qin Chong, they never took their anger out on me again. Moreover, even though I was at odds with Qin Chong on set, he never really did anything to me. They didn't dare to openly provoke me."
"That's because Zhaozhao is smart and knows how to go with the flow; otherwise, they might have taken advantage of her and bullied her instead..."
Tong Zhao: "..."
This is far too exaggerated. Although it's not the first or second time, Tong Zhao still can't get used to Shan Song praising him to the skies over such a small matter.
Avoiding Shan Song's intense gaze, Tong Zhao changed the subject: "It's been a long time. This is a good opportunity to meet."
Dan Song's lips curved into a smile: "My wife missed me?"
"...A little."
Tong Zhao would never have said something like that before, but now that they've been separated for over a month, even though they video chat every night, it just doesn't feel the same as having him by her side. Besides, he has a family now, and being away from home for so long makes it all seem quite normal...
"I miss my wife too." After saying that, Shan Song paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, the tone of negotiation had completely disappeared: "I'm not waiting anymore, I'm going to go and bring my wife back today."
The image on the other side of the screen rotated, and the phone's owner seemed to straighten up, followed by the sound of a door opening: "Uncle Xu, have Aunt Lin prepare some late-night snacks for Zhao Zhao."
!
This was the first time Tong Zhao had heard such a notification-like tone since he had previously warned Shan Song that his tone was a bit harsh.
Tong Zhao opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything in refusal.
This was probably the most unprofessional he had ever been. He made excuses for himself in his mind. Anyway, Qin Chong had already slowed down the process for so long and had been taking leave every few days recently, so it shouldn't matter if he was delayed for two days.
Having convinced herself, Tong Zhao turned her attention back to her phone. On the other end, Shan Song was making arrangements with his bodyguard, his tone somewhat serious.
Upon closer listening, they realized they were discussing how to bring him back.
Tong Zhao: "..."
It felt weird that they said this to my face.
Dan Song was very efficient. From giving the order to abducting the person from the film crew, it took only half an hour. Tong Zhao did not expect that the bodyguards he had arranged to protect him would have this purpose.
Several bodyguards in black rushed into his room, asking if he wanted to go back voluntarily or if his boss would invite him back. The commotion attracted the attention of several passersby, and the news must have reached many people's ears by now.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Tong Zhao recalled the scene just now and couldn't help but bury her head and laugh.
A low chuckle came from the phone's speaker.
I'll be there in another hour.
"Um."
An hour later, Tong Zhao saw a familiar figure standing by the car window. The dark coat made him look tall and straight. When he turned around, his lowered eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and his deep eyes softened instantly. He opened his arms and said, "Zhao Zhao, come here."
Like weary birds returning to their nests and fledglings returning to their nests, Tong Zhao opened the car door, quickened her pace, and rushed into Shan Song's arms: "Shan Song."
The breath in his arms was comforting and reassuring. Tong Zhao buried his head in his breath for a while before belatedly feeling embarrassed.
Seeing that the omega who had been wriggling in his arms had stopped moving, Shan Song picked him up, put him in the car, and leaned down to press him down: "Zhao Zhao."
Their lips touched lightly, and Shan Song called out again, "Wife."
The partition inside the car had been raised long ago, indicating that preparations had been made in advance.
Dan Song placed his palm on the omega's warm waist, their breaths mingled, their temperature rose, and their breathing and heartbeats suddenly became rapid...
The car drove to the villa, and Shan Song carried the omega, who was wrapped up like a cake roll, out of the car. He weighed him in his hands, but the sleeping omega didn't react at all. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to have a midnight snack.
The others in the villa had already gone to rest. Shan Song carried the person directly to the bathroom, gave them both a quick wash, wrapped them in a thick blanket, and returned to the bedroom, where he arranged them into a comfortable position and held them tightly.
Even in his sleep, Tong Zhao instinctively scurried to a warmer place, nestling himself entirely in Dan Song's embrace. His nose twitched, and the rich pheromones gave the omega a sense of security. Soon, Tong Zhao's breathing became long and even again.
Shan Song blinked gently, his gaze lingering in the void for a moment, then turned and lightly kissed Tong Zhao's forehead: "Goodnight, baby."
Tong Zhao didn't react at all and slept very soundly. The little bit of flesh on her face pressed against the pillow made her look soft and fluffy. Shan Song raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, burying his face in the crook of Tong Zhao's neck.
I slept soundly through the night.
