Chapter 529: Lacking Artistic Talent

For Bai Zhi, the eve of the Lunar New Year in 1990 was of extraordinary significance.

This was her first New Year after her rebirth. At the same time, her status also changed, and she became married, spending the New Year with the person she loved most. The feeling was truly indescribable.

At this moment, looking at her lover, her cousin, and Shen Qian, the first female friend she made after her rebirth, she felt that this was the moment she had truly been reborn.

This year's Spring Festival Gala was exceptionally good.

When Bai Zhi got excited, she even interrupted the sketch comedy actors to recite classic lines.

The three of them turned to look at her simultaneously. "How did you know?"

Bai Zhi met their surprised gazes, but she remained calm and said, "Given the context of the plot, that's how they would say it."

Ye Qingbai looked at her with admiration and clapped his hands, "Wow, cousin, you could be a screenwriter."

Bai Zhi accepted his admiration without any qualms, saying, "I also think I can be a screenwriter."

Not just this year's, but also the classic lines from sketches from next year, the year after, and many years to come.

If she wrote it as a screenwriter and sold it to the Spring Festival Gala production team, she might really become famous.

But doing so is truly immoral.

What about the screenwriters who truly create classics?

Having been reborn, she has no ambition to change the world. She only wants to delve into her field of expertise, medicine. What she wants is not flowers and applause on stage, but for the heroes fighting on the front lines against criminals to receive the best possible treatment.

Lu Ye took it seriously. He always had such confidence in and support for Bai Zhi's abilities. He asked softly, "Then do you want to give it a try?"

Bai Zhi waved her hand, smiled and shook her head, "Forget it, let's keep these hobbies for cultivating our minds. I'll just focus on my old profession."

"My cousin is a real all-rounder." Ye Qingbai was quite interested in what Bai Zhi said about being a screenwriter, not because he was interested himself, since he didn't have that kind of artistic talent.

He was curious about the arts and culture scene, thinking that if his cousin could become a screenwriter and work at a TV station, he would feel even more proud.

Ye Qingbai didn't want to end the topic, and kept urging Bai Zhi to quickly write a short play script so he could take a look.

Even if you can't get it to the TV station, you can try submitting it to their military arts troupe.

Lu Ye is already a deputy battalion commander, so he still has some connections in the army.

Seeing that he kept rambling on, Lu Ye looked at him impatiently and reminded him, "It's getting late, you should go back. You won't be able to get back after lights out."

Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, Ye Qingbai looked at him in disbelief, "What? I came to your house for the New Year, and you're going to kick me out?"

They didn't say anything about not being allowed to stay overnight before we arrived.

If he's only late for the New Year's Eve dinner and then has to leave, he won't come.

Lu Ye glanced at Chen Qian, then asked Ye Qingbai in a low voice, "So where do you sleep?"

Ye Qingbai also glanced at Chen Qian, looking troubled.

It turns out that Dr. Shen also needs to stay here.

He was having so much fun watching TV that he forgot about this.

Chen Qian wanted to stay in the other secondary bedroom.

Yeah, so where can he sleep?

Going back is impossible.

Even if I rush back now, I won't be able to get in.

The lights-out signal is about to be blown.

Furthermore, the Spring Festival Gala is not over yet.

He glanced down at the sofa beneath him, patted the armrest, and said with a smile, "I think I can manage on this sofa for the night. Anyway, I'm not sleeping now, so I'll just take a nap here for a bit. If all else fails, I'll stay up all night on New Year's Eve."

In the past, when we celebrated the Lunar New Year at home, we would stay up all night on New Year's Eve.

When everyone gets together to play cards or mahjong, they never sleep.

This is a military family compound, where there are no "ancestral spirits" to guard the graves, and it seems that Lu Ye's family doesn't even have playing cards.

You can only watch TV.

But as far as he knew, the TV station would stop broadcasting after midnight, and then there would be no TV to watch for a while.

I'll have to sleep on the sofa now.

However, just as she was thinking this, Lu Ye's words reached her ears: "The sofa is too short, you can't stretch your legs out."

Ye Qingbai retorted defiantly, "Then don't stretch it out. Just curl up for a few hours and it'll be dawn."

"You should go back and come back tomorrow morning."

"It's too late now, I can't get in even if I go."

Lu Ye glanced at the wall clock.

Actually, you can still catch up even if you run around.

"Maybe I should go back." Seeing that the two of them were arguing back and forth over this issue, Shen Qian felt a little embarrassed and decided to get up.

But Bai Zhi pulled him back down to sit.

She said, "Stop arguing. I'll sleep with Shen Qian. You can spend the night with my cousin."

Before Lu Ye could speak, Ye Qingbai objected, "What do you mean by 'spending the night with me'? Sleeping with me is 'spending the night'?"

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly and corrected, "It was a slip of the tongue, okay?"

The TV program wasn't over yet, and she didn't want to hear the two men arguing about sleeping, which would disturb their viewing.

"Alright, it's decided then. You can sleep in the second bedroom with my cousin later."

Although Lu Ye was unwilling, he couldn't say no to his wife's arrangement.

At this moment, more than ever, he hoped that Ye Qingbai and Shen Qian would be a couple.

In this way, the two of them can legitimately say they are together.

pity.

Lu Ye sighed inwardly, having no choice but to obey.

After watching the Spring Festival Gala, they were still not satisfied and continued to watch other programs.

Just as Ye Qingbai had guessed, the television channels indeed stopped operating after midnight.

Only snowflakes remained.

After chatting for a while, Ye Qingbai got bored and started yawning. He said, "We need to go out and buy a deck of cards tomorrow. We can play cards tonight to kill time."

Lu Ye, “???”

He said sternly, "Pay attention to discipline."

Ye Qingbai gave an "oh" and abandoned the idea.

This person is known for his strict and impartial principles. Even at home, he would never break the rules and play those kinds of games.

Bai Zhi yawned, feeling sleepy, and said, "Alright, let's go to sleep."

She and Shen Qian went into the master bedroom.

Lu Ye had no choice but to reluctantly sleep in the second bedroom with Ye Qingbai.

Bai Zhi took out pajamas from the closet and was about to give one to Shen Qian when she saw that Shen Qian had already taken out her own pajamas from her bag.

She planned to stay overnight and came prepared.

She changed into her pajamas and asked Bai Zhi, "Didn't you say last time that you wouldn't let me sleep in your and Lu Ye's wedding bed?"

Bai Zhi had also changed into her pajamas. She smiled and said, "That was our wedding room last time. Of course, I didn't want you to sleep there since we were newly married. But here, I don't care about these things. Besides, it wasn't that I didn't want you to sleep with me that time. I just wanted you to talk to Lu Ya. Who knew you would rather sleep on the sofa than stay with Lu Ya?"

When Lu Ya was mentioned, Shen Qian's voice was devoid of emotion. "I'm not familiar with her, it would be awkward to sleep together. Besides, didn't you say you respect other people's fates? Some things you have to figure out yourself, and other people's advice is useless."
