This is not her usual style.
She was never one to engage in internal strife.
She usually goes about her own business after sending a message and doesn't keep staring at the chat window.
But today is different.
She is apologizing today.
But the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to get a result.
A minute passed, then two minutes, but Shen Jingxiu still hadn't responded.
So, Wen Yan set a time limit for herself.
Five minutes.
She decided to wait a maximum of five minutes.
If Shen Jingxiu doesn't show up in five minutes, she'll call him.
I waited another three minutes.
Wen Yan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
She immediately straightened her back and dialed Shen Jingxiu's number.
The phone rang several times, and just when Wen Yan thought no one was answering, it suddenly connected.
"Hey, bro! It's me—"
However, before Wen Yan could even finish half a sentence, the call was abruptly cut off.
Shen Jingxiu actually hung up the phone.
Wen Yan stood frozen on the sofa, phone in hand, mouth agape.
He actually hung up the phone.
It's no exaggeration to say that this was the first time since the two met.
Wen Yan was a little sad.
But before this negative emotion could spread, someone suddenly sent her a video call invitation.
She picked up her phone and saw that it was Shen Jingxiu calling.
Wen Yan immediately answered the call.
"Hello," Wen Yan replied, behaving normally since it was a face-to-face video call, unlike her earlier deliberate attempt to appear overly enthusiastic on the phone.
"Brother, why did you hang up when I called you earlier?"
Shen Jingxiu, on the other end of the video, shifted the camera slightly: "I was driving just now."
"I see." That explains it; it's definitely not a good time to look at your phone while driving.
Have you parked your car yet?
"Hmm." Whether it was the camera angle or because they hadn't seen each other for many days, Wen Yan felt that Shen Jingxiu's face seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his voice sounded somewhat weary.
"I parked the car on the side of the road. Oh, by the way, I just saw the message you sent me."
You can actually say these things over the phone.
However, Feng Shiyu only saw the messages Wen Yan sent when the phone rang.
After sending those messages, she called again, and Shen Jingxiu guessed that Wen Yan must be a little anxious.
That's why he stopped the car and sent her a video, so she would know that he was indeed driving and wasn't intentionally ignoring her messages.
“There are extenuating circumstances, I don’t blame you, so you don’t need my forgiveness.”
Wen Yan realized that he was responding to the message she had just sent.
She smiled and said, "I'm glad you're not mad at me. I was just a little free today, so I was looking through my phone."
"Yeah, I know you're busy. Where are you now, at a hotel?"
"No, I'm at the company. I'm with Yulong right now; this is her office, and she's handling some things. Are you working overtime again tonight? Are you planning to go home?"
"Yes, I just got back from a business trip abroad today."
As he said this, Shen Jingxiu unconsciously glanced at the passenger seat.
When he was on a business trip abroad, he specially took a flight to buy the handmade chocolates that Wen Yan liked.
He was thinking of sending her a message, but she didn't reply. He wasn't sure what she meant. Was she too busy, or had he unintentionally offended her and upset her?
He was thinking that he should call her, but before he could do anything, her message and call came first.
Now that they were on the phone, he decided to speak.
"I brought you some chocolates on my way back. The boss used a whole new batch of molds this time, in shapes we've never seen before. Are you free to go home anytime soon?"
"Recently?" Wen Yan frowned and thought for a moment. "I guess I don't have much time. Because of what's been happening online lately, the production team has rearranged the scenes, and a lot of my parts have been grouped together. I probably won't be free for a while. Why don't you put the chocolate in the refrigerator? But don't handmade chocolates have a very short shelf life? Won't it be spoiled by the time I get back?"
If that's the case, then it would be such a pity.
Before the chocolate had even gone bad, Shen Jingxiu saw Wen Yan's pained expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Then I'll send it to you tomorrow."
"Oh? Are you bringing it to me personally? Isn't that inconvenient? Why don't you just call a delivery person?"
"It's okay, I don't have to work overtime tomorrow. I can go for a drive. I'll just bring the things to your hotel. I won't go to the film crew, so as not to cause you any unnecessary trouble."
"Great! I finish work early tomorrow anyway. I'll check the schedule later to see what time I'll be free."
"Okay, send it to me after you've looked it over."
"Mm!" Wen Yan nodded.
Looking at her bright smile, Shen Jingxiu couldn't help but curl his lips again.
"Then don't forget to undo my Do Not Disturb mode."
"Of course, I immediately unblocked you as soon as I realized I had accidentally blocked you. It was already set up."
"That's good. See you tomorrow."
"Okay. Drive carefully, bye."
"Okay, you can hang up now."
After the screen went black, Shen Jingxiu returned to the chat interface and reviewed his chat history with Wen Yan again.
Seeing these messages, the gloom that had been hanging over her for days because she ignored her vanished.
