After a few days, Xu Mengyu noticed something was wrong. If he was worried about her being tired from the new store opening, then it had been almost a week, and not only was he not clinging to her, he wouldn't even let her look at him. At night, if she reached out, he would hide far away.
After passing the audition, Zheng Tianming is now ready to join the crew. Since it's his first time acting, he doesn't know much. Xu Mengyu was worried that he would make mistakes, so she directly assigned Hu Xiaohui to him.
Hu Xiaohui has extensive experience in mentoring newcomers, so she's unlikely to make any mistakes.
The day before he left, Xu Mengyu called her sisters into her room and told them about her recent troubles.
Zheng Wanwan ate a small bite of lotus root starch: "Boiling a frog in lukewarm water, this time he's the lukewarm water, and you're the frog." After saying that, she picked up a small spoon and fed Bai Miaomiao a bite.
Bai Miaomiao sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs with a satisfied expression. She would never worry about such things; her husband was ten years older than her and very sensible.
"Who is the frog..." Xu Mengyu sat cross-legged on the bed, hugging a long pillow.
Zheng Wanwan couldn't help but laugh: "You called us here because you're anxious. Whoever is anxious is the frog." Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry.
Pei Lan is capable of shameless acts, but she won't do them openly, unlike Zheng Tianming who is so blatant.
He would walk in front of her every day in a black bathrobe, inadvertently revealing his full muscles and smooth lines.
But she wasn't in a hurry.
Xu Mengyu let out a weak "quack" sound, then buried her flushed face in the pillow.
"I'll bring you something later, with detailed instructions on it." Zheng Wanwan said, placing the bowl of lotus root starch in front of Bai Miaomiao: "Have one more bite." She didn't have much of an appetite at noon and ate very little.
Xu Mengyu poked her head out: "I want one too."
Zheng Wanwan smiled and fed her a spoonful. Both of them are mothers, yet they seem like they've never grown up...
“My little Zou Ba is not good-looking at all, I’m going to cry.” Bai Miaomiao said, putting her hand to her face: “How can it be like this? He inherited his father’s hair color and my eye color. He’s a little foreigner.”
Pei Kaixin has blonde hair, Bai Miaomiao has blue eyes, and Bai Yanzhou, who was just born, is obviously a foreign baby, even though he is all wrinkled.
"They can't even figure out what mixed-race looks like. If they had black hair and brown eyes, they would look so good." Bai Miaomiao sighed as she thought about it.
Xu Mengyu hugged Bai Miaomiao from behind to comfort her, saying, "Kids are all like that. They'll be cute when they grow up and can run errands."
"Let's switch. I like Lulu, he's so cute, his smile is like a little angel." Bai Miaomiao turned around and took Xu Mengyu's hand: "Okay?"
“Sure, take him away. It doesn’t matter who he’s son to…” Xu Mengyu was quite generous. They lived upstairs and downstairs anyway, so it wouldn’t cause any trouble.
Zheng Wanwan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at the two childish kids in front of her.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xu Lu stood at the door with a plate of washed fruit. He couldn't resist taking a cherry and putting it in his mouth. It was sweet, and he smiled gently.
Zheng Wanwan opened the door, and Xu Lu greeted her, "Dad asked me to wash the fruit and bring it in. I've tasted it, and it's very sweet."
Bai Miaomiao walked over. She wanted to hug Xu Lu, but after thinking about it, she decided against it, not wanting to hurt her: "Your mother said she's treating you like her baby."
Xu Lu nodded obediently: "Can I have Uncle's fried pork chop bibimbap tonight?"
Zheng Wanwan smiled and pinched Xu Lu's cheek. "Good baby, how can you be so cute? I wish I could have such a well-behaved child."
Xu Mengyu lay down on the bed: "Then remember to bring the little foreign child to me this afternoon."
Bai Miaomiao squatted down and rubbed her face against Xu Lu's chubby face: "In other words, can't I be a mother of two babies?"
“Sure, I’ll have two pork chops.” Xu Lu gestured with her fair fingers.
Xu Mengyu smiled. "Little brat, you're so old and you already know how to make people happy."
After Bai Miaomiao agreed, Xu Lu left happily. They were chatting together, and it would be impolite for him to eavesdrop.
After Zheng Tianming finished his work, Pei Lan and Pei Kaixin also came home from get off work. As soon as they opened the door, they saw the three of them lying on the bed, still fast asleep.
“He sleeps all day, but he’s a real pain at night.” Pei Kaixin said, straightening up.
Zheng Tianming and Pei Lan turned to look at Pei Kaixin, grabbing someone who was talking nonsense without any real understanding of the situation.
"Your tricks aren't working either?" Zheng Tianming said, closing the bedroom door.
Pei Lan adjusted his glasses, his voice rather indifferent: "Logically speaking, you shouldn't make a mistake using it." His actions were utterly useless.
Wanwan was patient; as long as she wasn't satisfied, he wouldn't succeed.
"What I'm worried about is the three of them getting together and discussing it." Zheng Tianming said and walked towards the living room sofa. He had just gotten a haircut yesterday, a buzz cut, and wore a white t-shirt, looking youthful and energetic, not at all like a father.
Pei Kaixin had a cigarette in his mouth; he couldn't have the smell of smoke on him, so he could only satisfy his craving through his mouth.
"If you ask me, you still overlooked an important step, otherwise you wouldn't have been punished." He had already learned from the experience of being punished.
Pei Lan knew exactly where he had gone wrong. He had been gone for three years, and when he returned, Zheng Wanwan had lost a child. This kind of pain couldn't be resolved with just an apology or a confession.
Zheng Tianming braced his elbow against his leg. Xu Mengyu didn't want him to take any more risks. If she found out that he was still an informant, she would probably be even more furious.
The two of them sighed in unison; it was easy to find their own problems.
Pei Kaixin sat on the sofa, leaning to one side: "If all else fails, I have an idea. Zheng Tianming is shameless, let's try it first."
“...”
"Is this how we're going to talk?" Zheng Tianming said, standing up. "Give me the solution, and I'll try it today."
Pei Lan looked at Pei Kaixin; most of the ideas he came up with were bad.
There was nothing they could do; Zheng Tianming was the youngest.
Pei Kaixin sent the files on his phone directly to Zheng Tianming.
"Holy shit--"
"Will this work?" Zheng Tianming looked at his phone, his ears turning bright red.
Xu Lu came out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes and yawning. She had fallen asleep while doing her homework, and her drool had soaked her notebook, so she had to rewrite it.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Xu Lu tilted her head and asked sleepily.
Zheng Tianming put his phone away and said, "Son, come here." He then held out his hand.
Xu Lu ran over in her slippers: "Dad, I heard you're going to film a movie tomorrow. Mom said we can visit you in prison on Sunday."
Pei Kaixin let out a hearty laugh. Xu Mengyu was really ruthless; she sent him straight to jail.
Pei Lan smiled and walked towards the balcony. Zheng Wanwan wanted a baby, but her body had not fully recovered yet. He couldn't bear to let her have one. It wouldn't be too late to wait a few years. He would make up for the three years that had passed.
Zheng Tianming rubbed his stubble against Xu Lu's cheek: "That's called visiting the set."
Xu Lu laughed heartily, learning exactly what his mother taught him.
Bai Miaomiao was the first to wake up. She came out of her room, went straight to the sofa, and upon seeing Pei Kaixin, straddled his lap, burying her face in the crook of his neck: "Sleepy..."
Pei Kaixin held Bai Miaomiao in his arms: "Shall we go downstairs and continue sleeping? I need to cook something."
"LuLu wants to eat your fried pork chop." After saying that, she turned her face away and pressed her cheek against his shoulder.
Pei Kaixin picked her up and stood up. She said that her heart would beat very fast if she didn't sleep well, and she needed to go downstairs to get oxygen: "I'll cook today. I'll send you guys a text message when it's time."
My elders at home have recently started working overtime again, and they usually don't get home until midnight.
Pei Lan rolled up her sleeves: "It just so happens that I need to grade my students' homework."
When Xu Lu heard that homework was being graded, he realized that he hadn't done his own homework. He immediately raised his hand and asked to go to the study with Pei Lan.
Everyone's gone, and now Zheng Tianming is all alone. He takes out his phone and carefully examines the document Pei Kaixin sent. Is this a feasible approach...?
