Shen Jingxiu chuckled: "So this gift didn't disappoint you, did it?"
"Of course not, I love it so much! You know, I've been planning to further my acting skills recently, and the first part is to watch more operas and stage plays to experience the atmosphere and charisma that musical actors create on stage. And the first one I want to see is 'Miss Rose,' and I didn't expect to get tickets so quickly! Do we have such great chemistry, brother?"
Wen Yan spoke a long string of words, but Shen Jingxiu didn't remember any of the previous sentences; he only heard Wen Yan's last sentence.
She said they had a great understanding, and he really liked that.
But strictly speaking, they weren't exactly in sync; it was just that a few days ago, he happened to see her phone screen as he passed by the sofa in the living room.
She was checking ticket availability for the opera when he happened to see it and took it to heart.
"I'm glad you like it."
"Yeah, I love it. By the way, you still haven't answered my question. Where did you get this ticket? Was it hard to get?"
"What's wrong? Are two bills missing?"
"Hehe, no one understands me better than my elder brother."
"It was given by a business partner, and he only gave two of them."
"Oh, that's such a pity. If we had a way, I think we could organize the whole family to go see it. The opera was highly praised."
Shen Jingxiu raised an eyebrow: "It's a good idea, but do you think they have the time? Jinghe is still filming in another city, and even if Jingchuan has the time, he probably doesn't have the patience."
"That's true! It seems like I'm the only one who's relatively free right now. Yulong has been quite busy lately too."
Shen Jingxiu nodded, and after a two-second silence, he said indirectly:
"However, I do have time on Friday night."
Wen Yan clearly didn't realize Shen Jingxiu's subtle intention: "You don't have to work overtime this Friday?"
"Yes, I also need to take a break."
"That's more like it. People need a balance between work and rest. This kind of balance is good for both the body and mind. Hmm... these two tickets are perfect, and they even have an art gallery vibe. Let me take a couple of photos first."
Wen Yan is a photography fanatic.
She started to act as soon as she finished speaking.
Seeing her constantly busy, putting the tickets on the coffee table one moment and holding them in her hand the next, Shen Jingxiu began to reflect on himself.
Was he not direct enough?
Didn't she realize that she had just implied that she wanted to go see it with her sometime?
After a long wait, Wen Yan finally finished taking the photos. Although Wen Yan's actual photo-taking didn't take more than a few minutes, Shen Jingxiu felt that the time was especially long.
"Now you have two tickets, who do you plan to go with?"
At this moment, Wen Yan was focused on adjusting the filter on the photo, and when she replied to Shen Jingxiu, she didn't even give him a glance.
"I haven't decided yet. I'll edit the photo and post it on my WeChat Moments to ask."
Shen Jingxiu: "…………" He was standing right in front of her, and she was still going to post on her WeChat Moments.
But he still couldn't bring himself to say, "I'll go with you."
After a moment's thought, he slowly said, "If you can't find anyone to keep you company, feel free to call me anytime."
Wen Yan still didn't look up at Shen Jingxiu.
"Okay, forget it, I'll postpone posting on WeChat Moments. I'll just ask the people around me in private messages first. Thank you, bro! My phone's almost out of battery, I'm going back to my room to charge it."
"Okay." Shen Jingxiu stepped forward to open the door for Wen Yan, forcing a smile on his face.
If Wen Yan were to look away from her phone screen at this moment, she would find Shen Jingxiu's smile utterly pathetic.
After leaving Shen Jingxiu's study, Wen Yan went to ask Su Yang and Qin Yulong herself.
Su Yang didn't have time, and Qin Yulong wasn't very interested.
However, Qin Yulong also said that if they really couldn't find anyone, she would go with them.
Wen Yan had just heard the exact same words from Shen Jingxiu.
She refused to believe in such superstitions.
Please, this is "Miss Rose"!
Tickets for "Miss Rose" are so hard to get!
They all seem rather unwilling.
She refused to believe she couldn't find someone around her who shared her interests.
Sure enough, just ten minutes later, she had finalized her choice of who would join her for this visual feast this Friday!
This person is Wang Che, whom we haven't seen for a long time.
The next day was Friday, and coincidentally, he had just finished filming a drama and was on break.
The two first arranged to have dinner together before going to see the opera.
Unbeknownst to Wen Yan, while she and Wang Che were happily chatting and ordering food in the restaurant, Shen Jingxiu kept staring at his phone on his desk.
To avoid missing any messages, he even turned his phone volume up to the maximum.
After glancing at a project proposal on the computer and signing two documents delivered by the assistant, I glanced at them again. Suddenly, my phone screen lit up, so I immediately picked it up and checked it.
But each result left him extremely disappointed.
Since that night when he sent the tickets out, Wen Yan has never contacted him again.
As the start time drew closer, Shen Jingxiu guessed that Wen Yan probably wouldn't invite him to join her tonight.
Despite the fact that things had already turned out this way, Shen Jingxiu still left work on time and did not linger at the company.
When he returned to the Shen family home, the opera had just begun.
He couldn't contain himself any longer and sent Wen Yan a message.
