After solving the problem of little Watermelon, Bo Yu feels that the sunshine of the next day seems brighter.
Holding a plastic bone in the mouth, silly Dandan barks.
”Call little Watermelon out of the washroom.” Bo Yu kicks Dandan's bottom and points to the direction of the washroom.
Dandan's eyes light up. He runs to the washroom and keeps on scratching the door.
When little Watermelon hears the sound of the scratch outside the door, he is engaged in wiping his bottom. So, he speeds up.
”Little Watermelon, come and play with Daddy.” Bo Yu feels bored with the script in his hands.
Little Watermelon comes running to him with bright eyes.
”Daddy is going to recite the lines today, so we don't go anywhere and stay at home.” Bo Yu reads the script with little Watermelon in his arms and says with a headache, ”I desperately try to make money for you.”
Little Watermelon is very considerate, ”Papa, I will not disturb you.”
Children who grow up in a single parent family are more likely to be precocious.
”Little Watermelon, do you know Daddy's mobile number?” Bo Yu suddenly becomes stern.
Because of the identity of the star, he specially buys a new SIM card for the teachers to contact him when he sends little Watermelon to the preschool class.
As for his private number, Bo Yu lets little Watermelon remember it.
Little Watermelon nods, takes out his drawing book from the drawer and sits down to draw pictures. He doesn't disturb Bo Yu at all.
...
”Kid?”
Secretary Chu quickly takes the towel to wipe coffee stains that the boss overturns in excitement, braces himself and says with tightened mouth, ”Yes.”
The boss's facial muscles are tightened with deep eyes, referring to the sign of danger. After a long time, he says lightly, ”How old is it?”
”Almost two years old.” The back of Secretary Chu is covered with cold sweat.
The boss tightly holds the pen and then says indifferently, ”Go out.”
Secretary Chu hurriedly leaves the president's office with the document in his hands.
The door is closed. But in the next second, Secretary Chu hears the sound of a coffee cup smashing violently in the room, and his heart trembles.
The boss picks up Bo Yu's information and glances at it with a serious expression.
Bo Yu, who teaches his son to paint flowers and plants at home, doesn't know that he attracts attention of a man. He is covered with sweat with a brush in his hands and says, ”Forget it, I'll buy you a new drawing book tomorrow.”
Little Watermelon bends over the side of the table and sees Bo Yu doodle in his drawing book. ”Oh.” He says lightly, comes over and consolingly wipes the cold sweat on Bo Yu's forehead.
”Papa, we won't draw flowers and plants next time. Let's draw matches.”
Bo Yu is inexplicably stung by his son.
Bo Yu finally arouses the interest of doing parent-child interaction with his son, but he is stricken mercilessly by the reality, ”...”
”Papa, I don't want to have rib noodles for dinner.” Little Watermelon follows Bo Yu to walk into the kitchen.
”Well, let's have chicken noodle soup today. I remember that there is half of the chicken in the refrigerator.” Bo Yu agrees gladly.
The expression of little Watermelon looks like he is about to weep. He shakes his head in a hurry with the swinging pigtail behind his head.
Bo Yu laughs.
...
On the other side. Qi Yan, wearing sunglasses in a luxurious nanny van, turns to his manager and says, ”The third supporting male role is Bo Yu.”
The manager nods.
Qi Yan smiles slightly, but his smile doesn't come from the bottom of his heart.
'Bo Yu, you chose to leave at that time. Why did you come back now?'
'You are really an obnoxious person.'
Bo Yu only finds out it is Qi Yan who plays the protagonist on his first working day.
Qi Yan is the first lover of Bo Yu's wicked ex-boyfriend.
It is also the reason why Bo Yu leaves when he is pregnant.
Qi Yan is also surprised when he sees Bo Yu, and then comes over to be friendly, ”Bo Yu, long time no see. It is unexpected for me to play a role with you.”
Bo Yu furtively pulls out his hands with a gentle and humble smile. ”That is what I should say.”
Director Wang glances at them and says with a strange look, ”Since you are acquaintances, there is no need to introduce yourselves. Let's begin the shooting.”
Then Director Wang lifts his feet and leaves thoughtfully.
Qi Yan nods and gazes after Director Wang till he leaves Qi Yan's sight. Then he says with a smile, ”I have never considered that you will come back after such a long time.”
”Why didn't I come back?” Bo Yu laughs. If he knew that Qi Yan would be in this crew, he would never have auditioned for the role.
Qi Yan sits in his exclusive deck chair with nobody else around him, so he says what he wants, ”I heard that you took away the role from a trainee. You have been away for two years. But you've truly gone back in time.”
Bo Yu doesn't care about the malice in his words, ”I really look younger than you.”
Qi Yan's eyes darken.
Bo Yu sneers, ”The vicissitudes of life go on your gaunt face! Wow, fortunately, Mr. Song still likes you.”
