Song Shijing saw Ruan Youning's emotions clearly. He didn't care about this piece of clothing. If it could make Ruan Youning feel better, let alone one piece, even if it was a hundred or ten thousand pieces, he would be the only one to have them, and he would be willing to give them all.
His fingertips gently wiped away the tears that had not yet dried up on Ruan Youning's face, and said softly: "Ningning, are you hungry? You've been working for so long, why don't you go eat first?"
ah?
Have a meal?
Ruan Youning nodded obediently, and then shook his head stupidly. The matter has not been resolved yet, so why are we talking about eating again?
"Silly Ningning, you're not hungry."
Song Shijing pinched Ruan Youning's face gently, his tone was quite helpless.
Gulu——
An inappropriate grunt sounded.
Only then did Ruan Youning realize that he was crying and nervous early in the morning. He was indeed tired and hungry...
"Let's go and eat your favorite crab roe xiaolongbao."
Facing Song Shijing's proposal, Ruan Youning nodded obediently.
-
The area near Ruan Youning's studio is very prosperous, with shopping malls and snack shops. Since the police station and studio are very close, the two simply walked to eat.
There are He's Crab Roe Xiaolongbao branches all over the place, so Song Shijing found a store easily.
It's past nine o'clock now, and it's a working day again, but there are still many people coming to eat Xiaolongbao, and it's bustling and bustling.
This atmosphere relieved Ruan Youning's depression a lot.
She bit the bun and slowly thought about what to do next.
The original painting has been leaked, and it cannot be ruled out that it is someone from the studio. The people at the studio must check it.
But--
Ruan Youning frowned, time was running out.
If you spend your time trying to find someone to blame, what will you do with the new version of the drawing? Who will paint? Who can be trusted? How to keep up with the progress?
Recruiting another group of people will definitely require them to work overtime. Even if she offers a high salary, she can afford it, but will anyone be willing to exchange time for money?
This is not a simple 996, you have to be on call at any time.
And now self-examination will not affect people's hearts. People who have not done it have to prove their innocence. This is undoubtedly a caesarean section to prove their innocence. After this incident is over, people will inevitably be divided in the future.
For a moment, Ruan Youning didn't know what to do.
The birth of a comic is indispensable for the cooperation and trust of the team. It is impossible to build a boat by itself.
-
She was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice that she was eating half of the side dish in front of her.
This side dish has a strong taste. According to her usual preference, she refused to eat it after a few bites.
Song Shijing clearly saw the changes on Ruan Youning's face.
The woman across the table frowned for a while, then looked a little happy, but soon became a little confused.
Song Shijing was fully aware of her concerns. After many years of acquaintance, he now knew what she was thinking without asking.
He coughed lightly and calmly took away the side dishes in front of Ruan Youning.
If you continue to eat like this, you will drink like a buffalo today.
Ruan Youning continued to pick up the food absentmindedly, completely unaware that he had left something empty. It was not until his upper and lower teeth touched together in his mouth that he realized that he had been eating air for who knows how long.
Her astonished expression made Song Shijing curl his lips. He was about to speak, but Ruan Youning was furious first. She pretended to be angry: "Hey - A Jing!"
"I am here."
Song Shijing looked serious, but his tone could not hide the smile.
Ruan Youning knew that what he had just done was stupid and couldn't help but blush.
This man knew that she was absent-minded and in a daze, and yet he didn't remind her. This was too much!
Song Shijing's eyebrows relaxed, and he said softly: "Ning Ning, there is something good to say. That's it for now, let's eat first."
"As your boyfriend, I failed to fulfill my obligation to remind you just now. I apologize."
His apology was sincere and gentle. Before Ruan Youning could speak, he heard the two girls on the side talking secretly.
The voices of the two young girls were neither loud nor quiet, but Ruan Youning could hear them clearly.
"No matter how beautiful a girl is, she can't be unreasonable."
"This brother has such a good temper, he is handsome and has a pleasant voice, and he is also very reasonable."
"That's right, if I had a boyfriend like this, I wouldn't have to support him every day, hahaha."
These words are not harsh, but in the current scene, they are somewhat inappropriate.
Ruan Youning was so angry that she couldn't help but want to choke back a few words. When the words came to her lips, she didn't want Song Shijing, who was across the table, to stand up.
do what?
Ruan Youning was puzzled, but the next second, with her stunned look on her face, Song Shijing's face enlarged and he kissed her lips without hesitation.
-
After coming out of the store, Song Shijing took Ruan Youning back to the studio.
Song Shijing naturally took Ruan Youning's hand, but Ruan Youning was a little embarrassed. She pretended to be calm on the face, but in fact she was extremely ashamed inside.
The kiss just now was unexpected, without warning, even a little sudden.
She and Song Shijing had always been polite, how could they ever do such a thing in public.
When I thought of the scene just now, an inexplicable warmth surged into my heart.
She wanted to say something, but Song Shijing's voice came first. His tone was low and a little aggrieved: "I can't see others talking about you like that. No one is allowed to talk about you."
There was an obvious domineering tone in his words, which made Ruan Youning feel like he had discovered a new world.
Song Shijing, when did you become so domineering?
In these twenty-something years of acquaintance, she discovered for the first time that Song Shijing actually had such a domineering side.
Thinking this way, these troublesome things early in the morning have been alleviated a lot.
There's no point in being upset right now, we have to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
-
Song Shijing sent Ruan Youning to his studio and drove to the law firm.
He was in such a hurry to go out in the morning that he didn't have time to tell his father. Although he was only in name and Song's father didn't care about his attendance, he had to tell his father.
After a simple phone call, Song's father didn't say much, but just asked him to speak up if he needed anything.
Song Shijing and Ruan Youning were busy enough on this day.
Recruiting a lawyer, checking anonymous sources on the Internet, and recruiting new painters were all time-consuming and time-consuming. Song Shijing did it calmly and orderly without being impatient.
Ruan Youning not only had to stabilize the hearts of the studio, but also urgently needed time to draw new settings, and also repeatedly promised Party A that the release of the comic would not be delayed.
All kinds of things add up, and I am exhausted.
By seven or eight o'clock in the evening, all the employees in the studio knew that something had happened, and they all consciously stayed and worked overtime.
Ruan Youning was busy until Xiaolin knocked on the door and said that the deliveryman had delivered a lot of takeaways and came to deliver one to her.
I didn’t order takeout either.
Ruan Youning was slightly surprised, but Song Shijing happened to send a message on WeChat.
It turned out that Song Shijing had ordered takeout early and invited people from the studio to dinner.
Instantly, a wave of emotion and joy surged into his heart. Ruan Youning bit his lip. Song Shijing was always so considerate and fully considered for her.
It's enough to have him alone for a long time.
-
With this thought in mind, Ruan Youning bit her straw and called Song Shijing.
"Ning Ning, have you eaten?"
Song Shijing's calm voice came from the mobile phone and fell into Ruan Youning's ears. That voice brought a sense of peace of mind.
Ruan Youning felt that the fatigue caused by today's work was wiped away, and she responded softly.
Then I felt that I wasn't loud enough and that I wasn't sincere enough.
She took a deep breath, raised her tone slightly, and spoke simple, clear but firm words.
She said, "Ajing, choose a time and let's get the certificate."
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Shijing's deep laughter came.
That laughter was so joyful and filled with endless love.
She heard him say, "Okay."
One simple word is enough.
-
After eating, Ruan Youning continued to work.
She had just started to concentrate on her work, but she always felt that she had forgotten something.
After a while, she remembered that she had sent a message to Ruan Zhicheng yesterday, saying that she would celebrate him tonight.
She was so busy today that she couldn't remember how Ruan Zhicheng responded to her.
Thinking of this, Ruan Youning still felt that she had to send another message to Ruan Zhicheng. No matter what, she had to tell her brother that she was sorry that she couldn't have dinner together today.
As soon as she touched the phone, Ruan Zhicheng's message came first.
"Sister, can you go home at nine o'clock? Your parents have been waiting for you at home for a long time."
A few simple words and they were gone.
This kid...
Ruan Youning frowned, instinctively feeling that Ruan Zhicheng's words were too cold, so she called back. Unexpectedly, Ruan Zhicheng, who was sending her a message one second, did not answer the phone the next second.
After beating him twice, Ruan Youning had no choice but to give up.
Let’s talk about it later when we get home.
With this thought in her mind, she set about speeding up the work.
If someone asks Ruan Youning what he regrets most in his life, Ruan Youning will answer without hesitation that he went home today.
Because of this unremarkable return home, she was defeated every day in the future, losing ground and losing everything.
What she cherished the most, cared about the most, and couldn't bear to part with the most were all in vain after tonight.
-
At 8:50 in the evening, Ruan Youning arrived on time. She parked the car at the door and walked towards the old house.
Ruan's father and Ruan's mother were reluctant to part with Ruan Youning, but they also knew that their daughter had grown up and should have her own independent space, so they bought a house in the adjacent villa area.
Sitting next to each other like this, Ruan Youning walked back to his old house, which only took ten minutes.
The Ruan family's old house was brightly lit, as if it were daytime, obviously waiting for her.
When he thought of his parents and younger brother, Ruan Youning's depression today disappeared. He was only filled with joy and his steps became brisk.
After skillfully swiping the old house's access control, Ruan Youning went straight to the living room.
Passing by the carport, a heavily scratched car caught her attention.
This car was obviously hit by someone. Why wasn't it sent to a 4S shop for repair?
But...the model of this car...
Ruan Youning was suddenly startled. Could it be that Ruan Zhicheng had collided with someone?
Feeling anxious, Ruan Youning ran towards the living room without caring about anything else.
After brushing his face quickly, the door to the living room opened. Ruan Youning changed his shoes and rushed to the sofa eagerly.
Due to her limited vision, she only saw Ruan Zhicheng sitting on the sofa. Her tone couldn't help but contain a hint of concern: "Cheng Cheng, did you hit a car? Is it serious? Why did you crash into the car so well..."
Because she was anxious, her tone was also high.
It was precisely because of her high tone that she also disturbed several people on the sofa.
There was silence on the sofa for a moment.
Ruan Youning was completely unaware of this.
Unexpectedly, she didn't get an answer from Ruan Zhicheng.
