"Yeah, I was so busy I almost forgot about it." After being reminded by her classmates, Cui Zhiruo finally remembered. Even though she was very tired, she still hurried to call Song Zhehao to explain. "I'm really sorry, there was an emergency at the company today. I'm afraid I can't meet you. I'm very sorry."
Song Zhehao is a reasonable person. Although he was stood up, he still spoke politely and made excuses for Cui Zhiruo.
It has to be said that Cui Zhiruo thinks Song Zhehao is a very good person who is worthy of trust.
Cui Zhiruo has her own idea about who to marry: she may not choose someone she likes, but instead choose a very good person, because this person is very good and will not go beyond the norm in terms of the three moral values, so even if she doesn't like him, she will respect her future other half.
Cui Zhiruo felt that Song Zhehao would be such a person.
Many times, marriage in reality is not about liking each other, but about not disliking each other. In the end, it is just a matter of weighing the pros and cons.
But we've only met once, so it's not too quick to jump to conclusions.
After hanging up the phone, I heard my classmate say, "He's so unlucky. Something like this happened today. We've worked so hard today. Do you want to have something delicious?"
"No, I'm too tired and don't want to eat." Cui Zhiruo sighed deeply, "I want to go home."
"Okay, do you need me to take you there?"
"You are tired too, have a good rest. I am going home now. Bye."
"Bye, be careful on the road."
Cui Zhiruo had a faint smile on her face. She had to admit that she was really tired today. Even when she went downstairs, she felt like she had run hundreds of meters in one breath.
The moment she walked out of the building with her classmates, Cui Zhiruo stopped and, after some hesitation, sent a message to Sheng Liuming: [Talk to me when you get home today.]
Cui Zhiruo was waiting for Sheng Liuming to come back in the living room. Maybe because he was busy with filming, he came back a little later than usual.
"I saw the news. My sister said that we deliberately released that news. Did you do that?"
She asked straight to the point.
"Um."
Sheng Liuming nodded.
He didn't even give any explanation, nor did he try to hide it, and he quickly admitted it.
Perhaps, even if he didn't admit it, Cui Zhiruo wouldn't believe it.
"Why do you do this?"
Cui Zhiruo asked in confusion.
He knew very well how much trouble exposing his sister to the media would bring her.
Sheng Liuming explained slowly, "Because one day there will be news, people will know she is my sister sooner or later, and they will also know that he is a model. If we reveal that information, the content of the news may be more favorable to us."
"Anyway, you took the risk and did this on purpose for our online store. For publicity, I said, right?"
“…”
Sheng Liuming did not answer this question.
Silence is tantamount to admission.
Cui Zhiruo frowned slightly and said, "I've always been worried about my sister. If her identity is exposed, she will inevitably be hurt."
"Sister, I've already discussed it with her. She did it on her own accord, so you don't have to worry. In my eyes, she may still be a child, but she's not that stupid."
"I know she's smart and strong, but she's still young. After all, she doesn't understand the ways of the world. She doesn't know how malicious people can be, or how terrifying public attention can be." Cui Zhiruo has seen a lot in her years abroad, so sometimes she can't see everyone in the world with her own good intentions. "What if my sister gets hurt and regrets it in the future? Even if she says it's okay, as an adult, I should have helped her make a wiser choice, but because of me, she became like this. I have mixed feelings now."
Because I have experienced it myself, I want to hold an umbrella for her.
"Sister, are you angry?"
There was no tone in Sheng Liuming's voice, and no expression on his face. He stared straight at Cui Zhiruo, waiting for her answer.
"Then why didn't you discuss this with me? You should have discussed it with me in advance, right? Do you know how shocked I am? How could you and your sister make such an important decision on your own?"
He didn't exactly say whether he was angry or not, but the tone of his voice did sound somewhat displeased.
"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't think that much."
Sheng Liuming quickly apologized.
At first he thought Cui Zhiruo would be happy.
Because of recent business matters, she looked very distressed, and he wanted to help her, so he did this thing. He thought that the increase in sales would make her feel very happy and she would muster up the courage to smile again, but the result was beyond his expectations.
Moreover, Cui Zhiruo was still worried about them.
That's right, I should have asked her opinion first.
Sheng Liuming just wanted to see Cui Zhiruo happy, but he didn't expect that his considerations were so immature.
"Thank you."
"Um?"
Sheng Liuming was stunned.
Shouldn't I be angry?
Why did you suddenly say thank you?
"Aren't you doing this to help me? I know with your personality, it must have been hard for you to get rid of others." Cui Zhiruo nodded with a faint smile on her face. Knowing that it was for her own good, she didn't blame him. "It's true that business matters have been very difficult, and my classmate has been a little unhappy lately. But today, while packing the express delivery, she kept humming a song. This is all thanks to you and my sister, so I should thank you."
"What about my sister? Is she unhappy?"
“…”
Cui Zhiruo couldn't answer.
Happy and unhappy.
It's late at night.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep at all. There are too many things to do, I can’t even sleep well, I’m in a very bad state all the time.
Cui Zhiruo tossed and turned in bed.
Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I sat on the sofa, picked up a beer, and drank it while watching the interview, thinking that I would fall asleep soon after being slightly tipsy.
I accidentally clicked on it and it happened to be an interview between Sheng Liuming and the actress he was acting opposite.
When did Sheng Liuming, whom Cui Zhiruo knew, become able to help others out of trouble?
Or for a woman.
From what he said, it seemed like he had some feelings for this actress.
She remembered that her sister had said before that Sheng Liuming liked an actress in the same crew, and wondered, could this be the girl he mentioned before?
She seemed to be looking at the actress in the video with the eyes of a family member. She was indeed good-looking and had a particularly sweet smile. It turned out that not everyone can be an actor.
If Sheng Liuming likes this girl, there is nothing wrong with it.
Cui Zhiruo nodded, seeming very satisfied with the girl in the video.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. She paused the video, then stood up, walked to the entrance and opened the door.
