When Wang Qi came in to collect the documents, Lin Qingsong sat there, still deep in thought.
"Wang Qi, am I not good enough to her?" Lin Qingsong asked suddenly.
Wang Qi naturally knew who Lin Qingsong was talking about, but it was really difficult to get involved in the personal life of his immediate boss.
He considered it carefully and said: "As a financial sponsor, you are very generous. Maybe Miss Ren doesn't want to be a lover anymore."
Lin Qingsong was silent. He had already planned to live a good life with Ren Zixian, and was even ready to take her to meet her parents.
But Ren Zixian left without listening, saying that she was not in a relationship with him.
It is a lover relationship, a nurturing relationship, in short it is not a love relationship.
Wang Qi thought that Lin Qingsong would not speak anymore, and when he was about to leave the office, Lin Qingsong relaxed and said: "How to chase people?"
Wang Qi was shocked and confused. His more than thirty years of single experience should not be of help.
However, Lin Qingsong raised his eyes and glanced at him, and Wang Qi tentatively said: "How about... why not create some surprises?"
"Surprise?" Lin Qingsong said quickly, "I don't know what kind of surprise to prepare."
Wang Qi gritted his teeth and said: "Girls just like flowers, gifts and so on. It is very important to suit her preferences. What kind of dishes does Miss Ren like? How about I order a romantic dinner for you?"
Lin Qingsong suddenly remembered that he had indeed lost a lot of weight when he saw Ren Zixian before renting a house.
At that time, she was still holding the food box that Xu Xuanming gave her.
"Book..." Lin Qingsong made up his mind, "Book Rongchuan Residence."
Lin Qingsong has never thought about other people, and of course he will not pay attention to what his little lover likes to eat.
But before he suddenly returned to Jinhai, he could see the lunch boxes that Ren Zixian had not had time to pack, most of which were spicy dishes.
He had a bad stomach and couldn't eat spicy food, but Lin Xuedi loved to eat. Ever since he went to Fengjing to go to college, he would pester Zhu Jinglan to cook some spicy dishes every time he came home.
So every time Lin Qingsong went home, he could only pick and choose what to eat, and this is still the case today.
Lin Qingsong sent a message to Ren Zixian: [Are you free tonight? I'll take you home. 】
Ren Zixian didn't reply, so Lin Qingsong sent another message: "Stop getting angry with me. How about I pick you up at your door at seven o'clock in the evening?" 】
The news fell into disarray.
Before going to Ren Zixian's place, Lin Qingsong turned around and went to the antique store to pick up the jade bracelet that Ren Zixian had returned to him.
Lin Qingsong sat in the office of the person in charge of the vault with an expressionless face.
The person in charge asked despite the displeased chill on Lin Qingsong's body: "Mr. Lin, which treasure are you looking for today?"
"The previous set was full of green jade." Lin Qingsong said, "Take it out for me."
The person in charge knew that he had given away a bracelet and had just returned it for maintenance a few days ago.
However, since he had to take it away again today, he naturally did not dare to say anything more about the boss: "Okay, it's still a bracelet, right?"
"No," Lin Qingsong paused, "Bring the whole set."
"Okay," the person in charge agreed quickly, "You come to withdraw assets worth over 100 million in person. We need to go through certification and procedures. Please follow me."
This set of jadeite was once valued at a sky-high price of 160 million at Christie's auction house, so it requires the presence of a professional notary when it is taken out, transferred to property, or bought and sold.
There was once a joke: In the case of authenticity, the more fake it looks, the higher the value.
This sentence is perfect to describe this set of jadeite.
The bracelet, which is completely emerald green and has no impurities, and the smooth, round and pearlescent egg surface, even a professional appraisal expert has to say that it is a rare treasure.
This is a heirloom of the Zhu family, and Zhu Jinglan may have imagined leaving this set of jewelry to Lin Xuedi.
Lin Qingsong initially took over the Zhu family's business with resentment, so he casually gave this set of meaningful bracelets to Ren Zixian.
To be honest, there is indeed an element of anger.
This jadeite set is well maintained, with a diamond-encrusted necklace, low-key earrings, and a pair of nearly perfect bracelets.
Coming out of the vault, Lin Qingsong threw the box casually on the passenger seat.
Behind the car was a large bouquet of fresh and delicate roses, and Lin Qingsong couldn't help but touch the petals of the roses.
The fragrance is rich and the passion is like fire.
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the first-year graduate students in the lacquer coffin project laboratory went back, leaving only Ren Zixian still staring.
She is the person in charge of the project, so she should naturally put more thought into it, not to mention that Xu Xuanming and Qin Yiyi were responsible for her absence due to various reasons.
Maybe her sleep quality is not good now, so she might as well stay in the lab.
Recently, it has become increasingly difficult for Ren Zixian to fall asleep. Whenever he closes his eyes, gray dreams are repeated. He wakes up more and more easily, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.
In the dream, there were dazzling flowers and swirling skirts. The color was dim and dry, as if they were about to burn.
Gradually, she began to have auditory hallucinations, and there was the sound of laboratory glass products colliding with each other in her ears.
She always woke up from her dreams and felt even more tired when she woke up than when she fell asleep.
Ren Zixian rubbed his sore forehead and got ready to wash his face with cold water and move around.
Suddenly the phone flashed.
She was stunned for several seconds before she stopped and came over to get her phone. It was a text message from Logan: [I will find someone to send you the invitation. The dinner will be at eight o'clock next Monday night. Please pay attention to the time. 】
Ren Zixian's mind was a little confused. What kind of dinner was Tang Wan talking about? She didn't remember it.
"Why didn't you turn off the water?" Xu Xuanming walked in and turned off the running faucet. "I brought you dinner. Can you have spicy chicken?"
Ren Zixian held the phone and looked at it: "I forgot to turn it off, thank you."
Xu Xuanming felt a little strange and couldn't say what was wrong. He put the lunch box on the table and said, "Eat something. I don't think you have eaten much of the lunch dish today."
Ren Zixian sat down to eat obediently. Xu Xuanming prepared a new bottle of reagent and added it to the soaking solution. He said to Ren Zixian: "The charity dinner is scheduled for next week. I will pick you up then."
"Charity dinner?" Ren Zixian then remembered, "Oh! The one organized by Logan."
"What's wrong with you?" Even Xu Xuanming felt something was wrong.
He reached out and touched Ren Zixian's forehead: "Should I take you to the hospital?"
Ren Zixian tilted his head: "No need. When is the dinner?"
Xu Xuanming's hand paused in the air, and then he said nonchalantly: "I'll pick you up next Monday night. This charity dinner is also ranked last by the Literary Renovation Factory, so it should be very interesting."
Ren Zixian's mind was in a state of confusion. She watched Xu Xuanming talking as he opened and closed his mouth. After a long while, she nodded: "Okay."
"You don't look well." Xu Xuanming added, "If you don't want to go to the hospital, go back and rest early."
Since returning from Chengjiayuan, Xu Xuanming has never said anything about pursuing her, and his concern is no more than a friend.
Ren Zixian didn't want to be alone with Xu Xuanming, so he nodded.
She stood at the gate of Yan University. Ren Zixian was very tired, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.
The searing pain of neurasthenia was like putting her bone marrow in a steamer.
Ren Zixian thought for a while and turned to the school doctor's office.
The school doctor of Yanda University is an all-around doctor from a tertiary hospital, very close to the school's scientific research building.
It is said to be a school doctor, but it can provide general physical examinations or diagnosis and treatment. In addition, students receive free treatment and half-price medicines, so it is a plus point for Yanda.
There are three doctors working in the school doctor's office, and today a female doctor is doing the consultation.
When Ren Zixian arrived, she was looking for the key to lock the door.
"Come to see a doctor?" the female doctor asked, "Come in first."
Ren Zixian stood at the door and looked inside. There was a very obvious smell of hospital disinfectant inside the white single hospital bed.
She shook her head: "I'm not going in. I'm here to get some soothing medicine. I've been having nightmares lately and can't sleep well. No need to prescribe medication."
The female doctor glanced at her and said with a smile: "We have regulations here that we cannot prescribe medicine. If you want sleeping pills, you have to go to the hospital. What's more, it is impossible to prescribe prescription drugs to you directly. I can help you make a pot of soothing medicine. Tea, why don’t you lie here for a while and chat with me, maybe you can have a good rest.”
Ren Zixian looked at the doctor, but in the end he did not enter the simple consulting room.
…
Ren Zixian did not return to the rented house. Although the rented house on the first floor was convenient, the lighting was not good. Ren Zixian always felt cold.
She was sitting on a park bench in a daze, with a group of children playing and running in the distance.
Ren Zixian actually had some premonitions about her situation. Maybe the doctor just now noticed something, so he tried his best to let her go to the hospital or go in to have a chat.
Ren Zixian lowered her eyes, and there was a roar in her ears that stabbed her eardrums, stinging like a silver needle inserted into her brain.
"Ren Zixian..." Someone was calling her, but Ren Zixian didn't have the energy to look.
She had auditory hallucinations.
"What are you doing?" the voice was still calling her.
The cold winter depleted her energy rapidly, and coupled with her previous loss of appetite, some strange spots began to appear in front of Ren Zixian's eyes.
It's the same skirt that keeps spinning, and you can only vaguely see the white shoes underneath.
The garden turned into a gray ruin, with weeds growing wildly inside.
White shoes and splotches of blood.
The more Ren Zixian focused his gaze, the more devastation appeared in the yard, and eventually it started to snow.
The bright red skirt returned to snow-white and disappeared. The snowy light flashed into her eyes and turned into sunlight shining into the laboratory.
The test tube containing the blue suspension dangled in front of her eyes, and the person looking at the test tube with a smile did not look at her.
"Lin Xuedi," Ren Zixian's voice was hoarse and low, "look at me."
The test tube continued to shake, and the sound of water flow rang in my ears.
Ren Zixian took another step forward: "Why don't you look at me?"
Lin Xuedi did not answer her.
The surroundings began to fall apart, and Ren Zixian came out of his dream as if he was escaping from the suffocating water.
She fell asleep on the bench.
The children in the distance were still playing, as if nothing had happened.
Ren Zixian breathed heavily, and the depressing atmosphere in the dream made her internal organs feel as if they were being squeezed.
