Zou Bai glanced at his son, who was in the middle of the set, then turned to look at Jiang An. “What type of dishes do you like?”
Jiang An’s brain short-circuited from the question. She turned around and saw Zou Bai staring at her. She replied in a daze, “I like slightly spicy ones.”
Zou Bai continued to ask, “1 like spicy food too. 1 also like sweet food. What about you?”
Jiang An replied, “I’m okay with them. As long as it’s not sour.”
Zou Bai asked again, “Then what are your hobbies?”
Jiang An scratched her head. “1 don’t have any hobbies. I usually watch good movies and television dramas to learn from the actors. Other than work, I only take care of the children.”
Next, the two of them began to ask and answer.
“What kind of dramas do you like to watch?”
“Light, funny, more therapeutic, or the brain-burning kind of suspense.”
“I like to watch brain-burning movies too. If there are suitable movies later, we can watch them together. Do you like outdoor sports?”
Zou Bai kept asking questions. After getting an answer from Jiang An, he didn’t forget to give his own answer.
After many questions, Jiang An’s brain suddenly halted.
Jiang An came back to her senses and asked Zou Bai, “Why do you suddenly have so many questions?”
Zou Bai replied confidently, “Didn’t you say that we don’t know each other well? Then, if I ask more questions, we can make a quick foundation first. A deeper understanding can be built on these foundations and reduce the cost of trial and error.”
Jiang An was amused. She teased, “You’re really a straight man. The kind of straight man who’s made of steel.”
Zou Bai cleared his throat in embarrassment. He couldn’t possibly say that he had never been in a relationship before and didn’t understand these things, so he said stubbornly, “I’m being efficient. Tell me, what kind of relationship do you want?”
This question stumped Jiang An. She didn’t have much love experience. After Si Cheng woke up, the two of them had indeed interacted like a couple for about two months. However, because they were already married after all and Si Cheng had to familiarize himself with the company’s work as soon as possible after he woke up, the two of them had only gone out to watch movies twice and had dinner a few times.
Jiang An looked at Zou Bai uncomfortably and straightened her neck. “You’re too insincere. You still have to ask me such a question.”
Zou Bai was stumped. He felt that what Jiang An said made sense, so he shut up and didn’t continue the topic.
Jiang An suddenly realized that she had been following the other party’s rhythm just now. Now, it seemed to have evolved into a relationship already. Didn’t they say that they would get to know each other from the basics and get along together slowly? Jiang An scratched her head in confusion.
Zou Bai saw Jiang An’s reaction and pursed his lips to suppress his smile.
Jiang Yi’s scenes for today were filmed very quickly. Jiang An took Jiang Yi from Aunt Sang’s arms. “Aunt Sang, you can go back first. Tell my mother that I’ll bring Little Wingsy out for dinner with a friend today.”
Aunt Sang glanced at Zou Bai from the corner of her eye and said to Jiang An, “Alright, An’an. I’ll leave first.”
Jiang An nodded and said goodbye to Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai was busy discussing the details of the next plot with the screenwriter and did not notice Zou Bai, who was waiting at the side. When he saw that Jiang An was about to leave, he only reminded her to be careful and went back to work.
The three of them left the set. Zou Bai stopped and extended his hand to Jiang Yi. He smiled and said, “Little Wingsy, let me carry you, okay?”
Jiang Yi glanced at Zou Bai but did not speak or extend his hand. He used silence to express his rejection. Seeing this, Jiang An said, “Little Wingsy, this is…”
Jiang An was stumped at this point. She did not know if she should ask Jiang Yi to change his address now, but Jiang Yi was meticulous and sensitive. He was different from the carefree Jiang Yu.
Moreover, Jiang Yu was the one who had taken the initiative to call him father. If Jiang Yi forcefully changed his words, it would not be good from the perspective of his willingness to accept it. She was afraid that Jiang Yi would feel uncomfortable and alienate the father-son relationship.
Zou Bai had a rough idea of Jiang Yi’s personality through their short interaction, so he took the initiative to say, “Just call me uncle like before.”
When Jiang An heard this, she glanced at Zou Bai and realized that the smile on his face was a little faint.
When Jiang Yi saw Jiang An looking at him, he immediately smiled and greeted, “Uncle.”
Zou Bai smiled and replied, “Little Wingsy, Uncle will bring you and Mommy to eat something delicious tonight..”
