Chapter 214: Birthday

Lu Zhen broke out in a cold sweat. Her skin felt sticky. She got out of bed and walked to the window to open the curtains. It was already dark outside. Her head was still dizzy, but she was no longer sleepy. She took out her tablet and continued to watch the online classes that she had not finished before. After watching two online classes, she downloaded the practice questions and began to do them.
Not long after, Xiaoxiao came in with a thermos box. Seeing that Lu Zhen was sick and was still studying, she couldn’t help but look shocked. “Sister Zhenzhen, you’re not feeling well. You should lie down and rest more.”
“I’m fine. I’m dizzy from lying down.”
Xiaoxiao opened the thermos box. Inside was shredded chicken porridge. It was fragrant but not greasy. Lu Zhen drank a bowl and sighed. “Looks like I still have to train my body more. Fortunately, it’s only a small cold.”
Xiaoxiao thought of something and flipped through the itinerary on her phone. “Sister Zhenzhen, we still have to go to Dan City in the north for filming the week after next. It will be even colder there. Moreover, that scene seems to be in the snow. Oh my god, you’re going to suffer again.”
“This is my job. I don’t feel like I’m suffering. Everyone has their own things to do.”
The two of them were chatting when someone suddenly knocked on the door. After Xiaoxiao went to open the door, she had a simple conversation with the other party before coming in with a box.
“What is this?” Lu Zhen looked at the packaging in confusion.
“It’s Wu Dai’s birthday today. He asked someone to send you a cake.” Xiaoxiao opened the box, and there was indeed a piece of fruit cake inside.
Lu Zhen looked at the cake and frowned. “I didn’t know it was his birthday. Xiaoxiao, see if there’s anything you can give him. Send it to him.”
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. “Sister Zhenzhen, why are you giving him a gift? Wu Dai and Xu Rui are close, and he doesn’t interact with you usually. He didn’t tell you in advance about his birthday either. Why is he even sending a cake over now? Is he mocking you for not celebrating his birthday?”
Lu Zhen smiled helplessly. “I’m not a national treasure. How can I ask everyone to like me? It’s Wu Dai’s freedom to get close to anyone. As long as he doesn’t provoke me, I won’t take the initiative to have a conflict with him. No matter what his intentions are for sending the cake over, let’s send something over. Otherwise, it won’t look good.”
“Alright then, but we don’t have anything suitable to give to boys.” Xiaoxiao frowned awkwardly.
“They should still be celebrating their birthday. Order some desserts and drinks on your phone and send them over,” Lu Zhen said after thinking for a moment.
“Okay.” Xiaoxiao immediately went to do it. After buying some desserts and drinks, she personally carried a big bag of things to the production team. After asking around, she saw the production team celebrating Wu Dai’s birthday in a simple shed.
There was a picnic blanket on the ground. Everyone sat on the ground. In the middle was a large cake that was almost finished and some snacks.
Xiaoxiao smiled politely and said, “Lu Zhen is sick today. She’s afraid of spreading it to everyone. This is a token of her appreciation. I hope everyone can have fun eating it.”
Xiaoxiao handed the bag in her hand to one of them. Then, without saying anything, she turned around and left.
An actor sitting beside Wu Dai looked at the bag of snacks and drinks and smiled mockingly. “Who is she trying to send away? Don’t tell me she’s pretending to be sick? Brother Dai invited her for his birthday, but she didn’t come. She’s really arrogant. Does she look down on people just because she’s famous?
Wu Dai’s expression was also a little ugly. Although he was not close to Lu
Zhen, he was still polite to her. After all, Lu Zhen had become famous early and could be considered his senior.
However, in the afternoon, he asked Xu Rui to invite Lu Zhen over, but Lu Zhen did not even open the door for Xu Rui.
Wu Dai sighed. “Since it’s a gift from her, let’s split it later.”
The group of people played Truth or Dare for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they prepared to go back and rest.
After everyone left, Xu Rui flipped through the photo album on her cell phone. She had taken many photos tonight. There were photos of a group of people celebrating Wu Dai’s birthday, as well as photos of her and a few actresses. She chose a few and used her cell phone software to edit the photos. She posted them on Weibo with a caption. “Happy birthday, Student Wu Dai!”
She even tagged Wu Dai on Weibo. After Wu Dai returned to his residence, he turned on his cell phone to check the news and saw Xu Rui tagged him on Weibo. He immediately left a message to interact with Xu Rui and prepared to post on Weibo himself..
