Chapter 12

On August 18, after a few long autumn rains, the temperature in Yaskawa City dropped sharply, and there was a brief hint of autumn.

The rain stopped last night, but the sky was still gloomy.

The studio's business license was being processed. After entrusting these matters to professionals, Song Zhiyi appeared in the Fengyun recording crew wearing a beige knitted dress and holding a bunch of blooming sunflowers.

Today is the last scene of Song Zhiyu, the fourth male lead. With the sound of "over", the young general with blood-stained armor climbed up from the ground, stretched out his arms and shouted "sister" with a smile on his face.

He seemed to want to hug her, but when he saw her naked body, he quickly withdrew his hand, said "Wait for me", and snatched Hua Fengfeng and ran to the dressing room.

Song Zhiyi looked at her empty hands, a little dazed. The dark clouds dispersed at this moment, she squinted her eyes, put one hand in front of her forehead, and glimpsed a piece of sunset that was about to dissipate.

After a moment, she smiled lightly and walked briskly to the closed dressing room. She kicked the door sill with her toes and said loudly, "Hurry up and pack up. Don't dawdle. Everyone is waiting."

"I know, I know..."

Song Zhiyu mumbled something again, and Song Zhiyi didn't ask. He just took two steps back and turned his gaze back to the gorgeous western sky.

Just acting, that's great.

*

In order to celebrate the completion of Song Zhiyu's filming, Chen Fei specially booked a venue and called familiar staff and actors to hold an open-air barbecue.

Liu Liu came over to deliver documents to Song Zhiyi and joined in.

They were divided into two tables in total. Besides Chen Fei and his friends, there was only a young celebrity couple at the table where Song Zhiyi was. The girl's name was Ji Shiyun, also an actor from the Fengyun drama crew, and her husband Li Mu was a singer. He happened to come to visit the set today, so he came along together.

The two have been in love for ten years and have just been married for more than a year. Now is the time for them to be in love.

Li Mu seemed to be afraid that the smoke would suffocate his wife, so every time he grilled a skewer, he would carefully place it on a plate, and patiently let it cool to the appropriate temperature before standing up and jogging a few steps, handing it together with the plate to his wife who was hiding from the smoke nearby. At this time, Ji Shiyun would always take out a handkerchief from her bag and carefully wipe Li Mu's sweat, or hand him water.

The two of them looked harmonious and supportive of each other.

"They are really happy." Chen Fei thought of his wife who was alone at home taking care of their daughter. He inadvertently saw his old partner who had been lonely for many years and said meaningfully, "Zhao Bai, don't you think so?"

Zhao Bai raised his head from the grilled skewers in a daze, squinted his eyes and looked over there, then replied perfunctorily, "Indeed."

Seeing her like this, Chen Fei sighed again and said, "You said you are not a child anymore, why don't you consider finding a close friend? It's not a good idea to stay at home alone all the time."

Zhao Bai opened his mouth to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Chen Fei: "Don't mention that you have a cat. Cats are not people. They can't even clean their own poop. For example, now that you are out filming, your cat needs someone to clean its poop, right? What if the regular wild poop shoveler has something wrong, you will be worried all day long after you find someone else, and you will want to watch the surveillance a hundred times in ten minutes. If you can have a relationship, at least you can have someone you trust to take over the job of the wild poop shoveler, right?"

Zhao Bai didn't say anything for a while. Chen Fei took a sip of tea and was about to press on, but he was almost choked to death by the phone screen that suddenly hit his face.

He finally calmed down and carefully read the long list of news reports about couples abusing or even killing their pets. He was silent for a while, but still pointed forward and said, "Not all people are bad. Look at Li Mu and his friends. Aren't they good people?"

"I don't have the time to slowly screen. Men will only affect my attitude towards writing." Zhao Bai slowly put away his phone, picked up a string of chicken cartilage and took a bite.

…

Song Zhiyi listened to their quarreling and observed Li Mu and Ji Shiyun who were still showing off their affection for a while. She suddenly asked, "Is Sister Ji pregnant?"

Ji Shiyun was a little far away from them and didn't hear anything. Zhao Bai put on his glasses and looked up for a while, then nodded and said, "It looks like it."

Her hand would always touch her belly from time to time, and looking at their expressions, they really looked like a young couple who had just conceived a child.

[It's a pity that Sister Ji had a hard time giving birth to this child, and raising him is not easy at all. ]

Zhao Bai paused for a moment when he was about to take off his glasses, and then, like most people, he cast a vague glance at Ji Shiyun and the other person.

Song Zhiyi took out a pen at some point and wrote Li Mu's name on the character card.

[At that time, the two of them were indeed a perfect couple, but perhaps their love could not withstand the passage of time. They broke up peacefully after more than ten years. It seems that the child is with Li Mu? ]

Song Zhiyi thought about it, turned a page, and checked Li Mu's character card.

Some time ago, in order to clear the mines for her investment project, the Fengyun Film Crew, she roughly checked all the actors and staff who had set up checkpoints. As for their partners, families, etc., she really would not be interested if she didn't happen to meet them.

[Wait, what are these?! ]

[In 20X3, he fell in love with Ji Shiyun. In 20X4, he started a secret relationship with Xiao A. In 20X5, he broke up with Xiao A and asked for a large amount of breakup fee... No, this seems to be the year when his crazy marketing fame rose a little.]

Wow, Li Mu actually ate gigolos. Zhao Bai's eyes lit up, and she quickly wrote this paragraph down in her inspiration book. As she was writing, she suddenly found something was wrong.

Liu Liu murmured, "Ji Shiyun and Li Mu have been in love for ten years, and it seems that they have never broken up, right?"

The voice was so low that only two people on the left and right heard it. They exchanged glances a few times, and finally tacitly fixed their gazes on Li Mu.

Over there, Song Zhiyi's eyes widened slightly, obviously seeing something extraordinary again.

[During the two years when Ji Shiyun was studying abroad, Li Mu actually went to the hospital once! After being photographed, he said it was gastroenteritis, but in fact, he "accidentally sat on a foreign object in his lower body." In order to suppress this news, he spent a lot of money, tsk tsk. ]

[Wow, it turns out that I didn't do it myself, someone tricked me into getting in! ]

Was it played by someone else? Is that what they meant?

The sphincters of the men present tightened, and those who were friends with Li Mu had already started searching the timeline in their minds - hiss, it seemed that there was a period of time when Li Mu's walking posture was very strange.

For a moment, everyone looked at Li Mu with more subtle eyes.

However, Li Mu noticed the sight, but seemed to have misunderstood something, and walked over with Ji Shiyun. Seeing his friend waving at him repeatedly, he walked faster.

friend:……

Never mind. He had tried his best to stop it.

Song Zhiyi lowered her head and was absorbed in eating the watermelon, totally unaware of the slight sound of footsteps beneath the crackling of the burning charcoal.

[What is the gender of the person playing with him? This is not written, next one, oh no, what was I looking for just now? ]

After a moment of silence, Ji Shiyun, who looked bewildered, slowed down her pace, tugged at Li Mu's sleeve, and whispered, "This is what I told you. Look, he is indeed a master."

After saying this, she frowned and glanced to the side inadvertently. When she met the sympathetic gazes of others, she realized belatedly that something was wrong.

Li Mu didn't react much. He had heard Ji Shiyun say that there was a mysterious "master" in their crew, so there was no other expression on his face except surprise. He still held Ji Shiyun's hand and walked forward. By the time he reacted, it was too late.

Song Zhiyi finally found what she wanted to see.

[It turns out that Li Mu was diagnosed with asthenospermia a few years ago! In this case, the aborted child was his only naturally conceived child?

[Poor Ji Shiyun accompanied him through two years of IVF before it was successful... Wow, this child is not Ji Shiyun's. ]

Wait, what did she hear?

Ji Shiyun stood there in a daze, and suddenly she had the urge to turn around and run away. However, her legs seemed to be nailed down. Even though her mind was clamoring to run away and that what was coming next would not be what she wanted to hear, she still couldn't move forward.

The secret was suddenly revealed, and Li Mu was inevitably stunned for a few seconds. He forced a smile and said, "What are you playing? Story King? Why are you using our names?"

He looked for help at the friend who had waved at him earlier, but was only avoided.

These few seconds were enough for Song Zhiyi to roughly scan the rest of the content, but the CPU was clearly overloaded.

[Is this thing broken? How could the baby in Ji Shiyun's belly not be hers? ]

[Ah, Li Mu couldn't find the character card information for Xiao Shiba this time. No, I'll take a closer look.]

Silence. Silence.

Li Mu opened his mouth weakly, and when he turned around, he saw that his wife was already in tears. He couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said softly: "Yunyun, don't listen to these, they are all nonsense. How can Xiao Mian not be your child? Have you forgotten that we made so many sacrifices for him..."

Ji Shiyun interrupted him and asked coldly, "What is Xiao Shiba?"

Li Mu opened his mouth to answer, but another ethereal voice sounded first.

[It turns out that Xiao Shiba is a staff member of the private hospital that they hired to do IVF. No wonder they were able to use their position to replace Ji Shiyun's eggs. Li Mu is really a jerk. It took two years for the IVF to succeed, and he still has the nerve to complain about Ji Shiyun because she is too old and her eggs are not good. Hasn't he studied biology? ]

Song Zhiyi looked disgusted, and Zhao Bai looked at Li Mu with a hint of contempt. Only Song Zhiyu saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he secretly stuffed the skewers into his mouth.

Ji Shiyun's psychological defenses completely collapsed. As a "bastard" who had enjoyed eating melons before, she certainly knew how true the melons she heard from Song Zhiyi were. Moreover, what Li Mu did was not without trace, but she was blinded by the fig leaf of love.

Ji Shiyun's face turned even paler. Li Mu's lips trembled as he tried to explain weakly: "Yunyun, please listen to my explanation..."

"Okay, explain it." Ji Shiyun pulled her hand away and turned to look at him.

Li Mu opened his mouth, but before he could organize his words, Song Zhiyi's voice rang out again.

[Wow, there is still one. After all, he is a child raised by his own hands. I was wondering why he suddenly became unclose to Ji Shiyun after growing up. It turns out that every time Ji Shiyun goes on a business trip, her biological father will take her to see her biological mother to enjoy the real family happiness. It is strange that he would be close to his nominal mother...]

“Pah—”

A crisp slapping sounded, Song Zhiyi raised her head, and a gust of wind happened to blow, and Ji Shiyun's thin body stood in the wind, as if she was about to be blown away. Li Mu in front of her stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab her, but what he waited for was another hard slap.

Ji Shiyun left. Song Zhiyi looked at the slap mark on Li Mu's face and blinked.

Is this a quarrel?

Although I don’t know what happened, it looks like a good thing!
