Chapter 1340: You Can Eat As Much As You Want
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was around the Spring Festival. "Broken Star" was right at the height of the storyline, so everyone had no choice but to stay with the crew, with only one day off for the New Year.
On Qin Shen Shen’s twenty-fifth birthday, it happened to be Little New Year’s Eve.
This wasn’t the first time she hadn’t gone home for her birthday, but she still felt a bit down, even though her mom was always pushing her to get married.
But they’d said long ago they would give her a proper birthday.
She was going to disappoint her mom again.
Hearing her parents say they hoped she could develop freely and that they supported all her work still warmed her heart.
Coincidentally, Qi Bai wanted some lively atmosphere, so he booked a private room at a hotel for everyone to have a dinner together and watch the Spring Festival Gala. And as the screenwriter and original author, Qin Shen Shen was honored to sit at the same table as the leads.
Everyone thought Qin Shen Shen was young, so they rarely tried to make her drink. She wasn’t even full yet when she realized everyone else had already had quite a bit.
Huo Jinyan had also drunk a lot; his cheeks were starting to flush, but his eyes were even brighter.
Shen Yun had gone back to her room to rest early, and because of her naturally cold aura, no one tried to stop her.
Just as Qin Shen Shen was about to find an excuse to go back herself, she got a call from home.
She found a stairwell in the emergency exit, went up one floor, and sat down on the steps.
"Shen Shen, have you been eating well lately?"
Liu Hena asked, "It’s not like abroad here, you remember to wear more layers. This is already how many birthdays you’ve spent away from home? I told you to find a boyfriend first but you wouldn’t listen, you just had to go do such a tiring job."
Though Liu Hena was complaining, anyone could hear how much she cared about Qin Shen Shen.
In that moment, Qin Shen Shen suddenly felt her eyes sting with heat.
It was that she wasn’t good enough.
Once she left the crew, she’d listen to her mom and seriously find herself a boyfriend.
"It’s great, the crew is having a dinner together, Director Qi is treating. It’s in the hotel where we’re staying."
Liu Hena heard the catch in Qin Shen Shen’s voice and asked worriedly, "What’s wrong, are you feeling down?"
When Liu Hena said this, Qin Chengyang craned his neck, and seeing that, Liu Hena simply turned on the speakerphone.
"No, I just really miss you guys." At that moment Qin Shen Shen’s voice was soft and sticky-sweet.
The man who had come out for a smoke froze when he heard that voice.
This was the first time he’d heard Qin Shen Shen speak in such a coquettish tone.
The dignified Best Actor couldn’t help secretly standing there below, eavesdropping.
"I told you not to go join the crew! When your movie finishes filming, just come home and stay a few more days. Mom will make your favorite braised pork ribs for you. Even though pork’s gone up in price, our family can still afford to eat it."
Qin Shen Shen laughed. Of course their family could afford it.
Even if her dad’s position wasn’t high, having ribs to eat was no problem.
She understood what her mom meant, as if she still hadn’t grown up, and said, "Then I’m going to eat two jin of ribs all by myself."
As she talked, her eyes went red again. It felt like growing up and saying goodbye was a topic no one could ever quite escape. As time rushed by, people were always meeting and parting.
She hadn’t gone to university in Capital City, and after going abroad, she had even less chance to go home.
"You can eat as much as you want. Shen Shen, it’s your birthday today, did you have any cake? At least buy yourself a cake to eat." On the other end, Liu Hena raised her voice.
"I will. I’ll come home for the New Year and keep you company." All these years, Qin Shen Shen had still been homesick.
Of course she also wanted to spend a reunion New Year with her family.
