"What are you laughing at?" Huo Qingming walked over, and Ye Qingyan became arrogant again: "I'm just giving him some face. Don't you understand...?"
Ye Qingyan was still being stubborn, while Zhen Tian laughed so hard she almost fell over.
"Shut up, don't laugh." Ye Qingyan was also a little embarrassed, her ears filled with Zhen Tian's laughter, and finally she couldn't help but laugh too: "Oh dear, are we still sisters? Don't rub salt in the wound."
"Brother Huo." Zhen Tian suddenly called out into the video, and Ye Qingyan realized that Huo Qingming had arrived.
"What?" She turned her head and saw Huo Qingming's hand holding the baby bottle.
"It's not time yet," Ye Qingyan said, glancing at the clock.
"I drank it early this morning." Huo Qingming teased his little sister in the stroller, and the little one's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
After making him laugh, he picked up his daughter and hugged the child, who was less than a year old, with one arm. He put the bottle over with the other hand, and the little one drank happily without any persuasion.
After watching for a while, Zhen Tian whispered to Ye Qingyan, "I knew Brother Huo would be a good father."
Ye Qingyan didn't reply to her; her gaze was also drawn to the father and daughter. After a long while, she said, "Yes, I didn't expect him to be this kind of father."
With the birth of their child, Huo Qingming began to resemble the big boy she had first seen at the doorstep of their home.
He was also the man who made her heart flutter from the very beginning.
"But don't worry, Brother Ji definitely won't say anything. He raised you like a daughter since you were little, so your child will definitely be even more pampered." Ye Qingyan picked up her older brother from the baby cradle and handed him to Huo Qingming, replacing her younger daughter.
“I’ve never worried about that.” Zhen Tian is the person involved, so she knows Zhizhi better.
“Brother Ji has no choice but to work outside. If it weren’t for this industry, I believe he would definitely stay home with you. Please be more understanding.”
"I know."
Ye Qingyan looked at Zhen Tian. Although Zhen Tian said she knew and understood everything, she couldn't help but feel sad, especially during the special period of pregnancy.
Girls' physiological structure causes them to experience hormonal imbalances and overthinking.
She offered some subtle advice, and then Yang Tao answered the video call.
"Hello, sisters." Yang Tao was probably adjusting her phone, so only a huge nostril was visible on the screen, but her voice came through in a cheerful tone.
Ye Qingyan and Zhen Tian burst into laughter.
Yang Tao was still clueless. After adjusting the angle, she leaned back and stared blankly at the two sisters in the video.
What are you laughing at?
"It's okay." Ye Qingyan and Zhen Tian exchanged a glance: "I took a screenshot."
“Me too…” Zhen Tian’s lips curled up high.
"What screenshot? What's so funny?" Yang Tao was still completely confused.
"I won't tell you now, you'll find out later." Ye Qingyan said with a mischievous smile.
"Tch." Yang Tao was too lazy to ask any further questions, and rolled her eyes to move on from the topic.
Zhen Tian, however, noticed that Yang Tao's position was not right.
"Where are you? You didn't go back to work, did you?" To her, Yang Tao looked like she was sitting in an office chair.
"What? Back to work again?" Ye Qingyan quickly put the child down and came over to look. The more she looked, the deeper her brows furrowed. "I'm warning you, you'd better come home right now. Last time there was an earthquake, and it was one thing for you to go and do interviews after the earthquake. But this time it's an infectious disease. It's not the flu; it's very easy to catch."
“I agree. Peach, you already have a place at the TV station, you can’t do this dangerous thing anymore. So many doctors have been infected, it’s too dangerous for you.”
“I’m not a doctor. Besides, I only come into contact with the most seriously ill patients on the front lines, which is why they get infected. I won’t get infected.”
"Peach, are you trying to kill yourself by working? Is this some kind of trivial matter? You'd better take this seriously." Ye Qingyan snapped.
“Yes, yes, yes, you’ll definitely have plenty of big news later. After the pandemic is over, Qingyan will have a tour, and you can interview her then.” Zhen Tian nodded hurriedly: “And Zhizhi, no, I’ll talk to Zhizhi and arrange an interview for you after things are over. Zhizhi is heavyweight enough, right? If not, you still have my brother, right? I’ll have my brother win another gold medal for you to interview. Anyway, the pandemic won’t do.”
Zhen Tian and Ye Qingyan chatted back and forth, their conversation flowing at a speed comparable to 1.5 times the normal speed.
Yang Tao glanced at Ye Qingyan on the left side of the screen, then at Zhen Tian on the right, and burst out laughing.
"Haha, just kidding." Yang Tao looked around with her phone in hand. It was an office, but not her office at the TV station.
After circling around, she turned the camera back to herself: "I didn't go back to the station. Even if I wanted to cover such an important event as the calendar, they wouldn't let me. Only experienced reporters who can handle things independently are allowed to go. I'm not qualified yet."
"I'm at Zhen Hong's training center." She happened to be doing an interview in the city where Zhen Hong was before the outbreak of the infectious disease, and now she's stuck here, unable to go anywhere else.
Zhen Hong also tested the waters here.
Because they train at the Olympic Sports Center year-round and have become accustomed to the environment and water, the athletes occasionally need to change their training locations. Zhen Hong happened to be stranded there as well.
When Yang Tao and Zhen Hong talked on the phone, they learned about each other's situation. Zhen Hong was worried about Yang Tao's safety, so he picked her up and took her to his training center and even booked her a room at his hotel.
That's why she's here.
"Their coach sent you, an outsider, over?" The two women had only just learned that Yang Tao wasn't in S City but with Zhen Hong. They felt a little guilty, as if they were just superficial friends who didn't care about each other at all.
“They originally didn’t want me to. Especially since I’m a reporter, their team was afraid I’d say something I shouldn’t.” Yang Tao couldn’t help but let out that sickeningly sweet smile as she spoke: “But Zhen Hong and the coaching team assured me that they still trust him.”
"Look, look, this is the silly smile of people in love." Ye Qingyan tapped her phone screen.
"Oh, you guys aren't!" Yang Tao quickly switched expressions. If she had been trained, she could probably compete for an Oscar for Best Actress.
"Of course we are not," Ye Qingyan shook her head.
"You, you and your brother-in-law..." Yang Tao was about to give an example when Ye Qingyan cut her off.
"Our smiles were those of newlywed bliss, but yours were the silly smile of someone deeply in love."
Yang Tao remained silent.
She couldn't respond to that.
"So what if you're married?" Yang Tao muttered indignantly.
"Getting married isn't all that great." Zhen Hong pushed open the door and repeated Yang Tao's words. His arms were still covered in water droplets, and he was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks with a small towel wrapped around his lower body. His muscular upper body was completely exposed.
