Chapter 53: Definite Parting Day and Uncertain Return Date(2/2)
"Hey, I'm Chu, who do I want?" Chu Zhongtian picked up the microphone and asked.
"Guess who I am?" A familiar voice came out of the phone. Although the sound was a little distorted when the current was propagating, he still heard the sound.
"Emily?" He was a little surprised.
"So disappointed..." Emily pouted, not surprised. "Why did you guess so easily? Uncle John didn't hear it at the beginning."
"I have heard your voice many times. If you can't hear it... we are not worthy of being friends anymore, aren't we?" Chu Zhongtian asked back.
Emily was very satisfied with Chu Zhongtian's answer, and she smiled again.
"There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to listen to first, Chu?" Emily said after laughing.
Chu Zhongtian thought it was quite strange. What good and bad news can Emily have for him? It seems that it is the same to choose which one, and he casually said: "Bad news."
"Strange, many people like to listen to good news first. Why do you choose bad news?" Emily asked instead of talking about the news first.
In fact, Chu Zhongtian was just talking nonsense, but just like when he was blindly confused, the answer he was talking nonsense often represents the more correct option. However, Chu Zhongtian didn't think so much when he said it. After Emily asked, he started to think about yes, why did he choose bad news? "Uh... that's it. I think if I knew the bad news from the beginning, no matter how bad it was, I would think-at least it wouldn't be worse than this in the future, because that's good news."
After hearing Chu Zhongtian's answer, Emily burst out laughing: "You are really optimistic, Chu! Well, this bad news is not bad news. I just told you that due to the slow progress of the filming, I may have to postpone it before I can return to England."
"Ah... that's really bad..." Chu Zhongtian's tone was full of regret, but what he thought in his mind was, "It's just right. When she comes back, the league is over and we will upgrade, and this gift will be guaranteed."
Emily didn't know what Chu Zhongtian was thinking, and she was depressed. It was obvious that she was worried about her delay in returning to England.
Chu Zhongtian felt the depressed mood in Emily's tone, and he comforted: "Speak something else, Emily. Is it fun to film?"
"It was fun at first, but it wasn't fun later..."
"Why?"
"I'm so tired! I'm so tired that I'm almost nervous... You know that sometimes I can't control myself..." Emily suddenly screamed like crazy, "Sound-------!!!"
Faced with this sudden scream, Chu Zhongtian had to take the microphone a little and turn his head to avoid damage to his eardrum. It seemed that the pressure of work was indeed very high... Emily, who had always been lively and cheerful, was driven crazy... After the sound disappeared over there, Chu Zhongtian leaned his ears back: "How is it now, Emily?"
"Huh-it's much more comfortable." Emily breathed out, "Just venting, have you scared?"
"A little bit, but it's okay. Say something happy, what's the so-called good news?" Chu Zhongtian realized that she was making a mistake by shifting the topic to the movie... "Hehe." Emily laughed, and her emotions seemed to have returned to normal. "Well, ahem." She cleared her throat solemnly. "It's my birthday the day after tomorrow, Chu!"
"Ah?" Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment. Emily's birthday the day after tomorrow, but why would that be good news for him? But he didn't ask, because his intuition told him that if he asked, he might anger his friends on the other side of the phone.
"Ah! Ha! Happy birthday! Emily!" In order to hide her loss just now, Chu Zhongtian quickly raised his voice and said to the phone.
His loud voice attracted the attention of the drinkers around him. Several people raised their sleepy eyes, tilted their heads and thought for a while before slapping the table.
"It's Emily's birthday the day after tomorrow!"
His voice aroused more resonance: "Your Highness's birthday? Oh, I have to go and say hello!"
Many people stood up from their seats and walked towards Chu Zhongtian crookedly.
Chu Zhongtian looked back at them and said to Emily: "It seems that many people want to wish you a happy birthday, Emily..."
The group of drunkards lay beside Chu Zhongtian, opened their mouths, burped, and shouted at the microphone: "Birth—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Get out!" Another drunkard behind him pulled away the head of the guy in front of him, "Don't spray your alcohol on the princess' face! Your Highness..."
Chu Zhongtian saw that the man suddenly began to shrugg the shoulders suddenly, and he knew that he was going to burp, but the next second the other party slapped him in the face, and the burp was strangled by him in the cradle... Chu Zhongtian secretly wiped his sweat, and it turned out that he could stop burp like this. Next time, if Philip hiccups too much, he would have reason to slap him in the face... "Happy birthday, Emily!!"
"Happy birthday, the longer the more beautiful it is! Our Princess!"
"Oh oh oh - Is Emily one year older? Or is it more adorable to be twelve forever..." Someone burst into tears. This must be Lolik... Chu Zhongtian picked up the microphone again amid the sounds of the drunkards' cries and smiled at Emily: "You are so popular, Emily."
"That's, hehe!" Emily laughed quite proudly. "But I still feel sorry..."
"What a pity?"
"That day was Saturday, and Wimbledon will have another game?"
Chu Zhongtian nodded.
"It's a pity that I can't go to watch the game on site. There are basically no decent games here in the United States, except basketball, baseball, or ice hockey, rugby... It's so boring!"
"It's a pity. It would be great if Wimbledon was a Premier League team. At least you can still see her game through TV broadcasts."
"Television broadcast? Yes!" Emily snapped her fingers suddenly, "Help me call Uncle John, Chu."
Chu Zhongtian covered the microphone and leaned his head and shouted loudly: "Boss, Emily is looking for you!"
Boss John finally helped him drive away the drunkards around him - he glared at the group of drunkards: "I want to talk to my princess, you all whisper! The old man has poor hearing!"
The group of people immediately retracted their positions and continued to drink.
Chu Zhongtian took over the boss and returned to the bar, but his eyes looked over the phone.
There were other people in the tavern chatting. He couldn't hear what the boss was saying to Emily. He only saw the boss nodding constantly. After a while, he looked at him. Chu Zhongtian quickly thought Emily was looking for him again, but the boss hung up the phone directly.
So Chu Zhongtian also took his sight back.
"Emily asked me for a birthday gift." Soon the boss's voice rang in front of him. "She asked me to record the game the day after tomorrow with a DVD and then send it to her, ha! It's a pity that she can think of it..."
Chu Zhongtian's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. Although it was not a "live broadcast", it could also be regarded as a "classic replay"... Boss John put his fat hand on Chu Zhongtian's shoulder: "So, Chu. You have to perform well in Saturday's game!"
Chu Zhongtian raised his head and looked at the smiling boss.
"I think Emily must have hoped that her friends can perform well in the competition, which would be a good birthday gift."
