Chapter 53 - 53 Watermelon Worm
53 Watermelon Worm
Lin Zi paused for a moment. “Alright, I know you’re determined. I’ll communicate with the higher-ups.”
“Since it’s not about this, why did you call so late?” Ji Jun’s brows visibly relaxed when he heard that she was not asking him to take care of Li Wei.
Lin Zi said, “I forgot to tell you earlier. There’s a script that’s not bad. I wanted to ask if you wanted to take it. Its schedule is quite urgent. Filming will start soon.”
Ji Jun rejected him. “How can I have time in the near future?”
“Didn’t you specially make time for that variety show? Now that the variety show has stopped, it’s a good time to take on a new drama.”
Ji Jun instinctively asked, “Who told you that the variety show has stopped?”
Lin Zi was surprised. “There’s already an attempted murder case and Fang Qing was already sent to the police station. How can that variety show still be filmed?”
“Who knows?” Ji Jun did not mention Yu Han. “Anyway, you don’t have to take on any other jobs for me at this time.”
With that, he hung up. Lin Zi listened to the beeping sound from the receiver and wondered if Ji Jun had obtained some internal information. Thinking of his background, this was not surprising.
If this was true, it would indeed be difficult to arrange other long-term jobs during this period of time. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the jobs bumped into each other. Moreover, it would affect Ji Jun’s reputation.
Ji Jun returned to the study after hanging up the phone. Seeing that Yu Han was still sitting in front of the computer, he went over to see what she was playing. In the end, he saw Yu Han log off the webpage and turn off the computer.
He asked curiously, “You’re not playing anymore?”
Yu Han shook her head. “I want to sleep.”
Great, it was back to this ultimate question again.
Seeing Yu Han walk towards the master bedroom again, Ji Jun was very helpless, but he did not dare to force her like before. He was afraid that she would scream again. He could only watch as she entered the master bedroom, lifted his blanket, and crawled into bed.
Forget it, let her sleep. At most, he would get the domestic helper to wash everything tomorrow. Ji Jun thought that Yu Han would stop after she fell asleep, so he gently closed the bedroom door and left.
However, just as he left, Yu Han—who was lying on the bed—suddenly opened her eyes and searched the bed. Then, she sat on the bed in a daze and muttered, “Where’s my watermelon worm?”
She had always been used to hugging things to sleep. She had a long dolphin in the past. Later on, she bought a long green watermelon worm when she transmigrated to this world and did not see the dolphin she liked. It was a cute worm lay on a long watermelon, or watermelon worm for short.
Ji Jun’s bed was clear. Other than the pillow and blanket, she could not find anything. Yu Han could not fall asleep if she could not find anything to hug, so she got up again and looked for her watermelon worm all over. She was unwilling to sleep if she could not find her watermelon worm.
Ji Jun, who was passing by, heard the commotion and pushed open the door that was ajar. In the end, he saw Yu Han holding onto the bed with both hands and poking her head under the bed. Her entire body swayed as if she was about to fall. He hurriedly went up to support her. “What are you looking for again?”
Yu Han looked confused. “My watermelon worm is gone. Did it run away?”
Ji Jun was puzzled. “What watermelon worm? Where did this watermelon worm come from?”
Yu Han’s eyes lit up. She stretched out her hands and gestured. “Watermelon worm, my big watermelon worm. It wants to sleep with me. I want the watermelon worm to sleep with me.”
From her description, Ji Jun roughly guessed that the watermelon worm was something like a bolster. However, he had never had a bolster at home, so he could only stuff a pillow into Yu Han’s arms.
“There are no watermelon worms. Sleep with this first.”
Yu Han hugged his pillow tightly in her arms and pinched it again. Then, she threw it to the other side unhappily. “This isn’t a watermelon worm. My watermelon worm is long and hard. It’s so comfortable to hold.”
“Can’t you make do?” It was already so late. Where could he find a watermelon worm for her?
However, a drunkard did not know how to make do. She just wanted the watermelon worm.
In the end, Ji Jun had no choice but to lie down and pull her into his arms. “Then I’ll be your watermelon worm.”
Yu Han laid on his chest and was stunned for a moment. Then, she really hugged him with her arms and legs.
Actually, Ji Jun was too annoyed by the commotion earlier, so he hugged her in his arms on impulse. He regretted it the moment he lay onto the pillow. In the end, before he could go back on his word, Yu Han really hugged him like a pillow.
