After Rebirth, I Decided To Inherit the Family Property

Chapter 92 – Happy Birthday.

Back at the hotel, Xiao Ke went to the restaurant to pack a few meals and brought them to the room, and then closed the door to the room and left thoughtfully.

Song Yunran has been tricked again, and normally, he would have yelled at the top of his lungs.

But this time he made a small mistake, and he was a bit weak, so he had to whisper: “I’ve applied for a chartered flight to go out with my friends. I’ve been busy working this year, and it’s been a long time since I’ve been out on the water. Such a big cruise ship, do not know if you thought about me when it was parked in the harbor.”

Muttering, Qin Ke couldn’t hear what was being said, but could also have guessed the gist of it, he stopped his chopsticks, and asked: “You have so much time to play with your friends, I want to take up half a day can’t I?”

“But you shouldn’t lie to me.” Song Yunran said, “Who did you learn these bad habits from?”

Qin Ke gave him a look, “I’m afraid you won’t like it here and wouldn’t want to come celebrate your birthday.”

“……”

Song Yunran hesitated for a second, he did have such thoughts.

After all, he and Qin Ke didn’t have a public relationship, and even on the set, they had to be careful, so it was inevitable that they were a little uncomfortable.

Usually it’s just a matter of time, but on his birthday he still wanted to have a good time.

“I get what you are saying.”

Qin Ke observed his expression, disappointed, “I was going to take you out in the afternoon, since you are not interested in ……”.

Song Yunran heard in the afternoon and did not have to be locked up in the room, and suddenly came to the spirit: “Really? Where are we going?”

“Want to know?” Qin Ke made a show of being cryptic, “Finish your meal first.”

Song Yunran also did not raise his head immediately, and concentrated on eating the meal.

He does not appear to be rude when he munches on his food, but the arc of his cheeks is a little larger than usual, and the frequency of chewing is a little more frequent, and he has no way to speak, so when he looks at Qin Ke with sparkling eyes, every eyelash reveals a sense of excitement.

If it really is a dog, I’m afraid it will be the first to take the leash around in preparation.

After dinner, Qin Ke handed over a gift box: “Happy birthday.”

Song Yunran opened the gift box and saw a watch inside.

Brown leather strap, dark blue dial, in addition to fine workmanship you can see that it is worth a lot of money, it seems to be the same as the watch he is used to using at home, there is not much difference.

However, when he turned it over and looked at it again, he realized that on the back was engraved the little prince standing on a planet looking into the night sky.

“Do you like it?” Qin Ke asked.

He nodded and stretched out his wrist for Qin Ke to help him put it on.

The slightly cool strap and the warmth of his fingers blended together, causing Song Yunran’s heart to skip a few beats.

He counted Qin Ke’s drooping eyelashes and asked curiously, “Why did you give the little prince?”

Without waiting for an answer, he was the first to realize, “Because everyone is trolling me for being a prince, right? It’s a pity that there’s no Prince co-branded model in the world, so you had to buy the Little Prince.”

Qin Ke: “……”

Song Yunran understood this, “Not bad, it’s also a kind of leveling out.”

What was said was something that Qin Ke had already completely failed to understand.

He buckled the strap, raised his hand and rubbed Song Yunran’s head a few times in the meantime: “Let’s go.”

Song Yunran, who got his birthday present, was in high spirits, humming a song all the way into the elevator before asking, “Isn’t Xiao Ke going, just the two of us?”

“Uh-huh.”

Qin Ke lowered his eyes, and found that this watch is indeed very good on Song Yunran, his skin is white, his wrist is thin, paired with the complicated design of the wristwatch does not look exaggerated, but rather complemented with his free-spirited character.

Song Yunran was so happy that he couldn’t help but look forward to his destination.

When the two of them recorded the variety show, he and Qin Ke have been to many places together, but at that time, they were always surrounded by a group of people, even if the scenery is very good, but they cannot ignore the feeling of being at work.

This time, it was their first, serious date.

?

The low-profile black SUV pulled out of the garage and drove all the way down the street.

The buildings on both sides were gradually left behind, and the surrounding scenery changed from a bustling city to a pleasant suburb.

Song Yunran is very impatient, and on the way, he repeatedly wondered where they were going, but Qin Ke smiled and said nothing.

It wasn’t until another ten minutes or so later that he finally realized that the scenery outside the window was starting to look familiar.

“… I remember that there is a barrier lake on this mountain, and the scenery is very good.”

Song Yunran asked with some surprise, “Could it be that you are trying to take me there to play?”

Qin Ke turned the steering wheel and drove onto the road leading to the lake, “So smart?”

Song Yunran almost laughed out loud, “You’re too stupid not to know that dad has filmed there?”

This could be so interesting, he thought.

In his last life, the first movie he debuted in was set at that lakeshore.

In this life, due to some butterfly effects, that movie didn’t end up being made, and he didn’t expect that Qin Ke would actually bring him to revisit his former territory on the day of his birthday.

Or is it ……

Everything is not by chance?

Song Yunran understood and spoke triumphantly, “I know. You must have seen that movie, right? Then you were shocked by dad’s heroic behavior, and that scene stayed in your mind for a long time, and you can’t erase it until now.”

It had to be like this right.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why Qin Ke would purposely bring him to a not-so-famous attraction.

Qin Ke smiled noncommittally, letting the person beside him indulge in narcissism that he couldn’t extricate himself from.

Today’s weather was not good, and the color of the sky was slightly dark.

But thanks to this, along the way there are very few cars, and there are no people who look like tourists.

Not long after, a sprawling bright green lake appeared in the vision of the two.

A gentle breeze blew the reeds along the shore, creating ripples on the surface of the lake.

The car had just stopped, Song Yunran couldn’t wait to unbuckle his seatbelt, “This place is more familiar to Dad than you, I’ll take you on a tour.”

Saying this, he imitated the accent of a tour guide and said with a smile on his face, “Hello, Mr. Qin, welcome to the beautiful …… Forget about what lake it is, I am your exclusive tour guide today, Xiao Song, and for the next tour around the lake, I will be there for you throughout the tour.”

Qin Ke smiled and cooperated, “OK, then you lead the way.”

In fact, there is no need to lead the way, if you want to visit the surrounding attractions, just follow the lakeshore trestle around the circle on the line.

But even so, Song Yunran still dedicatedly introduced: “Now this trestle we walk under our feet, is our country’s first independent research and development of dual-use trestle for people and vehicles.”

“……”

Quite capable of making up, Qin Ke asked with a smile, “Are you sure the car can drive up?”

Song Yunran justified: “Bicycles can always do it.”

“Good, you said.”

“One warning ah, Mr. Qin, don’t just question the authority of the gold medal tour guide.”

The two of them were the only ones left around the large lake, except for a few leisurely waterfowl.

The mountains turned into a natural barrier, separating them from all the hustle and bustle, providing them with a rare quiet space.

Qin Ke took off his mask and listened to Song Yunran’s ramblings while enjoying the leisure time with his lover.

As they passed a stone bridge, Song Yunran cleared his throat, “Mr. Qin, this next one is awesome.”

Qin Ke: “Huh?”

Song Yunran pointed to a street lamp on the far right of the stone bridge, “Mr. Song Yunran, our great artist, once contributed the first absolutely beautiful …… absolutely handsome tears in his acting career here.”

“It’s okay to say absolutely beautiful.” Qin Ke raised his eyebrows, “You did cry quite beautifully in that scene.”

Song Yunran blinked, “You really remember it well.”

He walked over and nostalgically touched the streetlight, “Alas, you don’t know, that scene was actually a tough shoot.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, the director let me cry at the time, but I couldn’t cry at all.”

Song Yunran stood at the position where the character in the scene was positioned and turned around, “After rubbing it out for half an hour, the emotions were never in place. In the end, the director had no choice but to say, ‘If you can’t do it, just put some eye drops’.”

The sun, which had been hiding for most of the day, quietly poked its head out of the clouds at this point.

A just-right ray of light reflected on his right cheek, overlapping unexpectedly with the movie scene in Qin Ke’s memory.

He stood far away and watched without speaking.

Song Yunran continued, “As soon as I heard it, I thought it wouldn’t work! I said ‘what if there are my black fans in the crew, they will secretly videotape and put it out to scold me for being unprofessional’.”

Qin Ke faintly hooked up the corner of his lips, “Then the more you thought about it, the more anxious you became, and you ended up crying out all of a sudden.”

Song Yunran was very pleased: “Your IQ is online ah, actually guessed exactly the point.”

“……?”

Qin Ke didn’t know when his IQ had gone offline and could only explain, “It wasn’t a guess because I was there.”

“Huh?!” Song Yunran was shocked.

Qin Ke slowly raised his arm and pointed his fingertips towards the lake shore under the bridge, “At that time, you were filming on the bridge, and I was watching you from under the bridge.”

Song Yunran looked over in the direction of his finger and vaguely remembered that there were quite a few crew members gathered there at that time.

But he searched his mind for memories that were already thin, but he couldn’t find Qin Ke’s figure.

Qin Ke didn’t sell any more secrets and said softly, “This is the place where we first met.”

The fall of that year, by a cry, two, two and three hunger strikes finally succeeded in the debut of Song Yunran, and successfully received the first leading role in his life. The film is invested in by Ningdong, the whole crew knows that he is very powerful, even if the acting skills are still very young, no one dares to say a word of heavy words to him.

Also that fall.

Qin Ke, who graduated from college, was still sending resumes around, expecting to get a chance to play a supporting role in any play.

One morning, he received a phone call from his school brother, said he was shooting the movie needs a small part of a young actor, the original actor because of the physical discomfort had no choice but to quit, the crew wants someone to be in a hurry, if he wants to shoot, it is best to rush over as soon as possible to meet with the assistant director.

Qin Ke could not pack his luggage, and bought the latest flight over, and gritted his teeth to pay for a taxi from the city to arrive at the lake, to see the deputy director, but only in exchange for the other side of a light sentence: “I didn’t say you brother, we have found someone to play.”

Senior brother is very upset about this, but Qin Ke himself is too calm and accepts the reality.

On his way out, he passed under the bridge and saw Song Yunran surrounded by lights and cameras, and also heard a strange “What if there are black fans of mine in the crew”.

Qin Ke inexplicably stopped in his tracks and stood in the crowd to watch him finish the crying scene.

After the scene finally passed, Song Yunran rubbed his eyes and came down from the bridge, asking his assistant for water.

His eyelashes were wet with tears and became extraordinarily thick, and the ends of his eyes and the tip of his nose had a light pink color, and the corners of his mouth were hanging down because of the emotions in the scene, making him look pitiful.

Qin Ke looked at him, while he did not see Qin Ke at all.

The two just brushed past each other.

Then Qin Ke turned around, and walked out not more than fifty meters away, and received an invitation to audition from the “Hong Bai Xi Xi” theater group.

In that moment, fate for the two young people who met for the first time, cut a clear distance.

But it was also at that moment that a faint and almost invisible red thread was quietly connected between the two.
