The filming continued the next day.
Luo Fei had privately suggested to the director that in order for everyone to be more serious at work, they should all put their mobile phones away when filming. This way, no one would be allowed to take private calls.
The director had no choice but to listen to Luo Fei’s suggestions. With that, everyone switched off their mobile phones.
Once she was certain that Ning Ran could not answer her phone, Luo Fei went to the bathroom and called Lu Yong using another mobile phone.
At Cheng Xiangyun’s house, Erbao had just finished memorizing her vocabulary for the day and was about to watch anime. Then, the doorbell rang.
“Mommy!” Erbao cried out in surprise and was about to open the door.
But Dabao stopped her and hinted at her to keep quiet.
Erbao got the hint immediately. Mommy usually came home very late when filming, so it was unlikely that mommy would be back so suddenly at this hour.
The siblings moved a chair to the door together. Dabao helped her sister climb up the chair and she looked out the peephole.
A man with a scar on the corner of his eyebrow was standing outside the door holding a box of pizza.
“It’s a man. He has food in his hand.” Erbao whispered to her brother.
“Food?”
“It looks like pizza.” Erbao licked her lips.
“Ask him.” Dabao said.
“Who are you?” Erbao asked in her childish voice.
“I’m the delivery guy! Your mom had me deliver this food to you!” Lu Yong replied.
“Okay!” Erbao got excited immediately when she heard there was food.
But Dabao kept quiet, and told her not to open the door.
“Suspicious.” Dabao said.
Although Erbao really wanted that pizza, she didn’t dare open the door after hearing what her brother said.
Her brother was much smarter and more experienced than her, after all.
Lu Yong had thought it would be a piece of cake when he heard a child’s voice. He started thinking about what he would do to these kids who were home alone.
However, no one opened the door.
He grew anxious and stopped ringing the doorbell. He tried knocking on the door instead, “Open up! The food’s gonna get cold!”
“Ask him for mommy’s phone number.” Dabao said calmly.
“Did my mommy send you?” Erbao asked.
“Yes, she did. Now, open up! The pizza’s gonna be hard if it gets cold!” Lu Yong was really losing his patience.
He’d thought it was an easy task. He didn’t expect this child to be so smart and not open the door.
“Then, what’s my mommy’s phone number?” Erbao asked.
Lu Yong found himself in a tough spot. He didn’t have Ning Ran’s phone number.
“I forgot the number.”
He figured it’d be easy to bluff his way through with these kids.
Little did he know, those were no ordinary children. They were little geniuses.
“He said he forgot.” Erbao whispered.
“He’s definitely lying.” Dabao nodded.
“Don’t open the door.”
“Hurry up and open the door, kids! This pizza’s really going cold!” Lu Yong was losing his temper.
There was still no reply.
Dabao ran into the living room, grabbed the phone and started calling mommy.
But, mommy’s phone had been switched off.
He tried calling Cheng Xiangyun instead. It got through, but there was no answer.
“Tell him we don’t want it anymore, and have it returned.” Dabao whispered to Erbao.
“We’re not hungry, Mister! We don’t want the pizza, so you can return it.” Erbao said.
“How could you return it when it’s already paid for?” “Hurry up and open the door!” Lu Yong had lost his cool at this point and started kicking at the door.
“We really don’t want it! You can have it, mister! Please go away, and stop knocking on the door!” Erbao said loudly.
Lu Yong did not expect this child to be so difficult. He couldn’t waste any more time on them.
He put down the box in his hand, retrieved the tools from his bag and started to pick the lock.
