Chapter 102 Good Zhizhi, Bad Zhizhi.
It wasn’t until almost nightfall that they wrapped up on the film set, and surprisingly, Pei Yu was still there, playing puzzles with Duan Jiaze with an expressionless face. Every time the child nearly completed the puzzle, Pei Yu would casually mess up a corner. Unaware, Duan Jiaze would start over, and a small puzzle could take two hours to complete.
Pei Yu saw Shen Zhiyi first, "Done for the day?"
The child quickly looked over, mimicking him with not quite accurate pronunciation, "Done for the day?"
Seeing the two of them together like that, they indeed looked somewhat alike. Shen Zhiyi felt inexplicably as if she had seen this scene before. She stretched out her hand, her lips curving into a slight smile, "Yes, let’s go home."
Almost without thinking, Pei Yu reached out and took her hand.
Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment, lifted her eyes, and Pei Yu locked gazes with her intently. His features were handsome, and when he looked at someone like that, he often gave the impression of being deeply affectionate. She looked away, withdrew her hand, and then held it out to Duan Jiaze, who this time eagerly grabbed it, saying happily, "Zhizhi good!"
When he turned to pick up the puzzle he had been working on all afternoon, he found the once completed puzzle scattered into disarray at some point without his notice. His mouth turned downward, and he felt like crying.
Just as he was about to cry out, he suddenly met Pei Yu’s gaze, who was watching him with a blank face. Duan Jiaze was frightened into not crying anymore.
Shen Zhiyi gathered the puzzle pieces back into their original box, consoling him, "It’s okay, I’ll help you with it again later."
After realizing the child could understand basic English, she occasionally communicated with him in English, which indeed made their communication much smoother.
Duan Jiaze happily nodded his head, clinging to her without letting go, expressing his fondness for her with his limited vocabulary, "Zhizhi good! The best!"
