Chapter 219: He's One of Us

Those without a special advantage, stuck in a quagmire, have to put in much more effort to become more outstanding than ordinary people.

Finally, Wen Jinye's praise touched Fu Yanjing's heart.

His thin lips, which were pressed into a straight line, twitched slightly without him noticing.

Suddenly, with a pointed remark, "I heard that you recently made a 24-hour round trip between Jiangbei and G country?"

Xu Xiangbai instantly resembled a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Hey you, really, why are you bringing this up out of the blue?"

*

The news that Wen Jin was also going on a business trip came as a surprise.

At one o'clock in the morning, she received a call from Kong Shenlin.

The other person said hurriedly, "Jinye, pack your things now and leave for Suicheng immediately."

Wen Jin's drowsiness vanished at Kong Shenlin's urgent voice, and she sat up instantly. "What's wrong?"

"A volunteer teacher at a mountain primary school in Suicheng published an article about volunteer teaching in a mountain primary school. The article is trending towards becoming very popular and has received a lot of attention on xx social media platform. The TV station held a meeting overnight and decided to seize the opportunity to interview the teacher. After communicating with the teacher, a special feature on truthful reporting was drafted, starting the day after tomorrow."

“Suicheng is far away, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. You will set off tonight and arrive tomorrow morning. Spend a day experiencing firsthand the school life and difficulties of left-behind children in the mountainous area, and refine the special report. I have other reports to follow up on, but this special report can only be handled by you.”

Wen Jin had already gotten out of bed and started tidying up. "Okay."

From the moment she was transferred to social news, Wen Jin was prepared to be on the front lines and travel for work at any time.

My everyday bag for business trips was already packed; I can just put it in my suitcase.

She packed a few more sets of portable clothes.

The only thing that made her a little nervous was that her period was coming soon.

After packing the sanitary napkins, Wen Jin was worried that she would hold the team back, so she rummaged through drawers and found painkillers before she breathed a sigh of relief.

The room suddenly became brightly lit.

Chirp and the kitten woke up too.

One of them saw Wen Jinye packing her suitcase and reluctantly jumped inside, looking at Wen Jinye pitifully.

Mingming was rejected by Wen Jinye every time.

But the same actions are repeated every time.

I'm really looking forward to Wen Jin bringing it along too.

It's said that children can keep their mothers tied down.

Moreover, Wen Jin is now a mother of two.

Time is of the essence; it's definitely too late to send Qiuqiu to its usual pet boarding facility.

Wen Jin also squatted down and patted Qiuqiu's little head, "Mommy can't take you this time, but Mommy will be back soon, okay?"

It understood.

Its tail stopped wagging immediately.

In the past six months of raising Chiu Chiu, they have experienced separation more than once.

But I just can't get used to it.

Meanwhile, a message came from the TV station driver.

[We'll arrive in half an hour.]

Wen Jin stroked Qiu Qiu's fluffy head. Actually, leaving Qiu Qiu at home by herself wasn't a bad idea.

It uses diaper pads and rarely destroys things.

But it can be boring.

They feel anxious about whether they have been abandoned.

Lost in thought, my fingertips unconsciously dialed the number from my recent call.

A beeping sound rang out.

A hint of struggle flashed in Wen Jin's eyes.

Should we really trouble him?

In those two seconds of thinking, the call had already gone through.

Even though it was the early hours of the morning, his voice was unusually clear and crisp.

His tiredness and hoarseness, undisturbed by any sleepiness, were accompanied by the gurgling sound of electricity and the sound of him typing on the keyboard.

It's not hard to guess that he's been busy with official business and hasn't slept yet.

"Why are you calling me in the middle of the night? What's wrong?"

Wen Jin hesitated for a few seconds, but after making the call, she didn't mince words. "Are you home?"

His voice effectively drowned out the soft rustling sounds, "Want to see me?"

What's going on?

Wen Jin's ears turned slightly red.

"I have to go on a business trip."

She thought for a moment, "Chiu Chiu is family, and the TV station's bus will be here soon. Could I ask you to take care of Chiu Chiu for a while?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Wen Jin bit her lip. "It's very well-behaved."

As the call connected, Wen Jin felt a momentary sense of relief from the urgency of time.

Dialing Fu Yanjing's number was an unconscious act and thought of hers.

The moment she dialed the number, she suddenly realized that she hadn't anticipated that Fu Yanjing might refuse.

He is very busy.

Perhaps there won't be enough time and the willingness to patiently care for a puppy.

Giving him the chick would only cause him trouble.

The brief silence made Wen Jin feel uneasy and annoyed at having crossed the line.

She gripped her phone tightly. "It's my fault for not considering you. If you feel uncomfortable refusing me, that's fine. I'll think of another way."

Finally, a voice came from the other end of the phone.

It felt somewhat empty, as if he were in a bathroom.

"for example?"

Chirp can only be cared for by someone it knows well, otherwise it will feel anxious about being abandoned.

Wen Jin calmly added, "For example, we could ask someone to send it to a pet hospital he's familiar with for boarding, or..."

Let it stay home by itself.

Please ask Fu Yanjing to spend some time with it occasionally and talk to it.

If all else fails, we can trouble Meng Qinghe.

Qiuqiu is also close to him; Meng Qinghe had taken care of Qiuqiu in the past.

But before Wen Jin could say it, in those few seconds of brief contemplation, Fu Yanjing had already slowly guessed part of what was to come.

"For example, handing Qiuqiu over to Meng Qinghe?"

Wen Jin is not good at lying either.

This was indeed within Wen Jin's consideration, even though the possibility of choosing it was extremely low.

At such moments, she would not force herself to refute, but would always resort to silence.

Fu Yanjing laughed in exasperation, "Don't even think about it."

Then came the unequivocal words: "Open the door."

"Huh?"

"I'm at the door."

Wen Jin carried Qiuqiu over and, through the peephole, indeed saw that familiar figure.

He wore a dark gray loungewear set, which he wore with a casual and lazy yet elegant air.

His face is his best asset, and he truly is a walking clothes hanger.

Wen Jin opened the door. "Please have a seat. I'll pack Qiuqiu's things for you now. I don't have time to thank you tonight."

While tidying up in an orderly and rapid manner, Wen Jin also discussed the matter with Fu Yanjing:

"May I?"

Completely unaware of the implicit ambiguity.

Fu Yanjing remained calm and composed. "If time is limited, how else would you like to thank me?"

His mouth is always so sharp.

Regardless of the level.

Even with family members, the emotions are mostly straightforward and intense.

Fu Yanjing watched her busy figure, carrying dog food, dog leash, and even three sets of dog clothes.

He looked around and asked in a low voice:

Where's the kitten?

There was nothing about the kitten in Wen Jinye's package, and Fu Yanjing felt indignant on behalf of the kitten.

"You only care about the eldest daughter's life or death? The other one really was picked up from next to a trash can."

The complaint was so casually made, it was as if the person was complaining about their child being mistreated at kindergarten.

Wen Jin is not the kind of parent who is biased to the extreme.

"I'll ask Sister Yun to take care of the kitten later. Xunxun will be very gentle with the kitten."

Why bother others?

Wen Jin was in a hurry and didn't realize that his words implicitly included himself as one of his own.

Confused, he asked, "Huh?"

Fu Yanjing calmly replied, "I can handle this by myself."

"How are you going to handle this?" Wen Jin looked at him intently for a moment and suddenly asked:

"You're allergic to cat hair."
