抖荫

On the third day of the cruise.

Song Qingyou yawned as she came out of the room, tears still visible in the corner of her eyes.

Zhizhi followed beside her, looking up at her from time to time.

“Meow?”

“I’m fine.” Song Qingyou waved her hand. “I just slept too late last night.”

Jiang Zhihan was even more concerned when she said that.

After all, as long as Song Qingyou didn’t film at night, her schedule was very regular.

It was obvious that something was wrong last night.

However, before he could continue asking, Chen Lan came over.

The latter was also surprised by Song Qingyou’s condition.

“What’s wrong with you? Did you go out to steal last night?”

“I slept too late.” Song Qingyou gave the same answer.

Chen Lan took out a tissue. “Here, wipe your tears.”

“If you can’t stay up late, then don’t. Weren’t you quite self-disciplined before?”

All the artistes that Chen Lan had worked for in the past were reluctant to sleep at night timely and could not wake up in the morning.

Only Song Qingyou had never made her worry so much.

So, she wasn’t used to seeing Song Qingyou so sleepy that she was teary-eyed.

Song Qingyou nodded repeatedly.

She didn’t want to stay up late.

However, last night, she was urged by Wen Xia. She originally felt that it was good to be a salted fish, but as she thought about it, she unconsciously opened the document.

After that, she started thinking about a science fiction trilogy, and she had already written the first two parts. How could she give up halfway? It was better to finish the third part as soon as possible!

Song Qingyou sat in front of the computer and wrote for at least three to four hours.

As expected, she was not used to being a salted fish for the time being.

“No wonder you weren’t there when I went to the gym to look for you this morning… I thought you went back to your room after working out…”

Chen Lan nagged as she led the way.

Song Qingyou was a little distracted. When she finally reacted, she realized that Chen Lan didn’t lead her to the restaurant. Instead, she went into her room.

Chen Lan lived in a junior suite, which wasn’t as big as Song Qingyou’s. There was no study or living room, but there was a small balcony.

The table in the room was filled with gift boxes of all sizes. There were also two big dolls of the same height on the sofa.

“This is-”

Song Qingyou was confused.

Chen Lan rolled her eyes halfway. As if she had thought of something, she took a deep breath and said, “Ms. Song, have you forgotten? It’s your birthday today!”

“Birthday?”

Song Qingyou was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted.

When she was doing missions in other worlds, she might have remembered her birthday at first, but as time went on, she seemed to have forgotten about it.

After completing the missions and returning back to her home world, she went straight to the wilderness to survive. In addition, people usually didn’t ask about her age, so Song Qingyou naturally forgot about it.

Chen Lan saw that her reaction was so slow and was a little incredulous.

“No way! Qingyou, how can you forget your own birthday?”

“But that doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as others remember.”

She lifted her chin and said, “Here, on the table and on the sofa, there are birthday presents prepared for you by the crew.”

“I still have to work during the day today. They must have discussed it beforehand. They were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to find the time to send it, so they stuffed it all into my place last night.”

Song Qingyou suddenly remembered that in the past, Song Xingye would give her all kinds of gifts for her birthday. At that time, the Song family hadn’t been in trouble yet…

Thinking of her family, Song Qingyou quickly took out her phone.

As expected, because she couldn’t get up in the morning, her phone wasn’t turned on yet!

She quickly pressed the power button and did not forget to ask Chen Lan,

“Sister Lan, they didn’t give me any expensive gifts, right?”

“I don’t know about that, but I reminded them that if the gift is too expensive, you might not accept it… However, it shouldn’t be that expensive. Only you and Director An are richer in the production team… Director An should be fine with giving expensive gifts, right? You can always send something similar back.”

Song Qingyou nodded.

The phone was switched on very quickly.

The screen lit up and dozens of missed calls popped up.

Half of the calls were from Song Xingye, and the other half were from Lin Xuyang, Yu Muhuai, and the others. There was even one call from Wen Xia.

The V-messages they sent also popped up at the same time.

Song Qingyou was about to call Song Xingye when he called again.

As soon as the call connected, a voice came from the receiver, “Happy birthday, Qingyou.”

Song Qingyou’s eyes reddened at the congratulatory words she hadn’t heard for many years.

“Dad, I’m sorry. I didn’t turn on my phone this morning-”

“Our Qingyou is the birthday girl today, why should she apologize? It’s a pity that you’re still on the cruise today. Dad can’t say happy birthday to you face to face.”

“It’s okay, Dad. After the movie is finished, I’ll stay at your place for a while.”

“As long as it doesn’t delay your work.” Song Xingye said happily, “With Xuyang around, you don’t have to worry about me. Just focus on your own things.”

At the mention of Lin Xuyang, Song Qingyou couldn’t help but ask more about the company.

The father and daughter chatted for a long time until Song Xingye had to answer another call.

Chen Lan had already put the gifts into two small carts.

“I borrowed the cart from the waiter. You push one, I’ll push one…It’s not appropriate to leave the gifts with me. Hurry up and take them back to open them.”

If others saw this, they would probably think that Song Qingyou didn’t like the gifts prepared by the crew.

Song Qingyou agreed.

She only went for breakfast after she had placed all the presents in her room.

There were also a few crew members in the restaurant. When they greeted Song Qingyou, they would all say happy birthday to her.

Song Qingyou wasn’t very busy filming today, but just replying to V-messages and Weibo messages was enough for her fingers to dance non-stop.

It wasn’t easy for her to have some time to rest in the afternoon, so Song Qingyou gave her phone to Chen Lan. If she couldn’t see it, she didn’t need to reply.

It was only then that she remembered that Jiang Zhihan didn’t give her a present.

Song Qingyou poked the cat sitting next to the tablet and muttered, “Jiang Zhihan, someone else gave me a birthday present. Aren’t you going to show your appreciation?”

She just wanted to tease a certain cat.

However, because she had deliberately lowered her voice, she sounded like she was being wronged.

Jiang Zhihan moved his cat ears and typed on the note, [So many people have given you gifts. Do you still need mine?]

“That’s different.” Song Qingyou pouted.

Jiang Zhihan asked, [What do you want?]

“Shouldn’t you be thinking about this?”

After a long silence, another line of words appeared on the tablet, [Give myself to you?]

Song Qingyou’s breathing almost stopped, and her heart started beating faster.

“How much can a cat like you be worth?” she asked, pretending not to care.

Jiang Zhihan asked, [Do you want it?]

When Song Qingyou saw this, she wanted to reject him directly.

However, she could not give a negative answer.

However, she would not be led by the nose.

Song Qingyou raised an eyebrow.

“You are mine now.”

“I’ve raised you for so long, and you still want to go back on your word?”

Jiang Zhihan didn’t deny what she said. Instead, he typed one word on the tablet, [Good..]
