Chapter 446 Li Jingshen's persistence
After Shen Zhichu and Bai Qiujing signed the contract, the two directors learned from Bai Qiujing that Shen Zhichu didn't like Japanese food, so they thought of inviting her to dinner at another place, but Shen Zhichu directly refused.
The director did not try to persuade her to stay. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two of them were now close, and if he forced himself on them again, he would be acting like a third wheel without any self-awareness.
"Then we'll leave first." Seeing Director Lin and Deputy Director He stand up to see them off, Shen Zhichu quickly stopped them, "Don't see them off. Too many people will easily attract attention."
Director Lin stopped and said, "Then Mr. Shen, please take care."
Shen Zhichu put away the contract and put on his hat and mask. Bai Qiujing consciously put on her bag and held the milk tea in her hand. As the two walked out, their hands couldn't help but sign together. Shen Zhichu opened her hands slightly and interlocked his fingers, palms pressed against palms, and it was as hot as a human heart.
They were together, but the most intimate thing they had ever done was holding hands. However, the touching of their fingertips was enough to make Bai Qiujing's nervous fingertips tremble.
The two looked at each other, Bai Qiujing was the first to admit defeat, and moved the milk tea in his right hand towards Shen Zhichu's mouth. Shen Zhichu nodded and drank the milk tea from his hand. The two of them moved very naturally, as if they had done this thousands of times and were so skilled that they couldn't be more skilled.
"We're about to start work, let's hire an assistant for you."
"You arrange it."
"By the way, do you want to come to my house today?" Shen Zhichu looked up at him with a serious look.
Bai Qiujing stepped on his right foot with his left foot and almost tripped: "I...I, can I go to your house?"
"Walk carefully, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Qiujing's ears turned red, and it was obvious that what was in his mind was not simple.
"The film is about to start filming. We will first review the script and finish filming as quickly as possible to release it in the summer of next year. Most of the time will be reserved for special effects and sound effects."
"Can I rest at your place tonight?"
"How can you push your luck?" Shen Zhichu refused, "You should go back and spend more time with Aunt Li."
"She has my dad with her, so she doesn't need me."
"Who said that? As an actor, you rarely go home, only a few times a year. Now that you have free time, you should go home more often to spend time with her. Don't wait until she's old and can't be with her even if I want to." Shen Zhichu stopped and took Bai Qiujing's hand, raising his left hand to pat his head. "We will have a lot of time together in the future. When the film starts, we will have two months to spend every day together."
Hearing Shen Zhichu's words "I can't be with you even if I want to", Bai Qiujing felt a pang of pain in his heart. His sweetheart was bullied when he was away.
Bai Qiujing thought of his mother again. If it weren't for what she said, he might not have gotten over it until now.
"I'll listen to you."
The house that Shen Zhichu bought has not been renovated yet, so she is still renting a house. She took Bai Qiujing through the east gate of the community. This gate is usually the least crowded and not many people go there.
There is an old man watching over each door. The old man at the east gate is named Wang and has sharp eyes. Shen Zhichu can recognize her even with a mask and sunglasses on. Moreover, he has become more and more familiar with her recently because she has had a lot of express deliveries delivered here recently and asked him to give them to Shen Zhichu.
"Zhichu." Uncle Wang called her.
"Uncle Wang." Shen Zhichu looked at Uncle Wang's face and his eyes darkened. "Is it something of mine again?"
"Yes, it was given by the same person. This is today."
Uncle Wang bent over and struggled to pick up the express package from below. It was still a large bouquet of red roses as usual, and there was also a box with the flowers. It was either jewelry, expensive bags, or perfumes, clothes... all of them were big brands, and they were all sent according to Shen Zhichu's preferences, or more accurately, according to Shen Zhichu's preferences in the past.
The one who sends these things every day is Li Jingshen, who uses this "persistent" method to try to win back Shen Zhichu.
There was a clear hint of impatience in Shen Zhichu's eyes. It had been a week, and every day someone came to her house and called her to ask her to sign for the goods. Shen Zhichu returned the goods, and came again the next day, but with a different item.
"Or is it like usual, where you return the things you threw away?"
"yes."
"Then come over and sign for it, and I'll help you contact the refund later."
Shen Zhichu walked over and said, "Excuse me, Uncle Wang."
"It's not a hassle." Besides, he can make money by receiving express deliveries here. Once money is mentioned, no matter how troublesome the matter is, he won't feel it's that troublesome.
Shen Zhichu held the pen and signed.
Uncle Wang asked, "Don't you want to take a look?"
Shen Zhichu shook his head silently, but Bai Qiujing's alarm bells rang loudly.
What kind of person would give red roses? There was a note on the bouquet with the pinyin abbreviation LJS on it.
You don't even need to spell this abbreviation to know it's Li Jingshen.
Bai Qiujing held down Shen Zhichu's hand, and Shen Zhichu stopped signing: "What's wrong?"
"Li Jingshen has been sending you all kinds of garbage recently?"
“It started last week.”
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's not a big deal, just return it."
Bai Qiujing secretly cursed Li Jingshen: You are so shameless.
He took the beautifully wrapped gift box and said, "You can't do this. It will only make Li Jingshen harass you over and over again without any bottom line."
Shen Zhichu put down the pen in his hand and asked curiously, "How do we do that?"
Bai Qiujing opened the gift box immediately.
Uncle Wang reminded: "It's hard to return it after it's been demolished."
Bai Qiujing ignored him, opened the box and looked at the brand logo. Although Bai Qiujing didn't care about bags, her mother liked them. Her father's trick to comfort her after he made a mistake was to buy her bags, saying that they could cure all diseases.
There are quite a few logos like this in his closet. It is one of his mother's favorite brands. A bag like this costs at least three million.
It is inlaid with diamonds and looks exquisite and noble. This bag is a limited edition. Bai's mother asked people to buy it last week but failed to get it. Unexpectedly, it appears here. It seems that Li Jingshen has put a lot of thought into it.
He turned his head to look at Shen Zhichu, and saw that Shen Zhichu's expression did not change at all.
“Do you like this brand of bag?”
"It's okay." Shen Zhichu is not short of money. He can buy anything he wants, but he doesn't need to.
"I'm collaborating with this brand. They're going to release new winter styles, but they haven't hit the market yet. I'll have them send them to you later this evening so you can choose first."
"You're asking me to choose before it's even launched?"
"Of course you should be the first to choose anything you like."
This is also Bai Qiujing's way of expressing love. If she refuses, it will only make him feel uneasy and lost. Men are very concerned about their reputation and like to be competitive, especially when facing a rival in love.
Shen Zhichu recently also gained preliminary knowledge of the brands that Bai Qiujing likes. Giving gifts to each other between lovers is also a kind of fun.
Thinking about it, she nodded in agreement and pointed to the bag in front of her: "What do you do with this? How can you return it if you've already opened it?"
"Leave it to me." Bai Qiujing turned to Uncle Wang, "Uncle, you can do whatever you want with this flower. We will take it away. If anyone over there asks you about the situation, just tell the truth."
Uncle Wang was totally confused and just stared at the two of them with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"Who is this Zhichu?"
Shen Zhichu said: "My boyfriend."
Uncle Wang didn't react much, but Bai Qiujing's face turned red first. However, he was wearing a mask and no one could tell anything. Only his ears were trembling.
"Is this your boyfriend?" Uncle Wang looked at Bai Qiujing with surprise in his eyes.
"Not bad, not bad."
"Then we'll go up first." Although there are usually not many people at the East Gate, today is the weekend and it's noon, so there's no guarantee that someone will come back and use this gate.
"Okay, you two go up."
Shen Zhichu took Bai Qiujing in. Bai Qiujing held the bag in one hand and went upstairs without telling Shen Zhichu what to do.
"You don't feel uncomfortable looking at this bag?"
"It's disgusting, so I plan to sell it on a second-hand platform."
Li Jingshen would definitely keep an eye on whether Shen Zhichu had signed for it. Doesn't he like killing people and destroying their hearts? Then he would let him have a taste of this.
…….
Bai Qiujing took a few photos of the bag, downloaded a second-hand luxury goods platform on his mobile phone, and listed the bag there.
——My girlfriend is very interested in this fish. The price is 2.5 million. Only serious buyers are welcome.
After marking it and sending it out, Bai Qiujing put down his phone and turned to ask Shen Zhichu who was reading the script.
“Is there any food at home?”
Shen Zhichu sat on the rocking chair on the balcony, legs crossed, script in hand, and replied without looking up.
"Go check the kitchen. I remember there aren't many vegetables in the refrigerator. See if you need anything and go out and buy some later, or buy it online and have it delivered."
"Buy it online. It's the weekend and there are a lot of people in the supermarket." Bai Qiujing got up and walked into the kitchen.
Shen Zhichu nodded.
As Shen Zhichu said, there were no fresh vegetables in the refrigerator. Bai Qiujing poked his head out of the kitchen and asked Shen Zhichu, "Chuchu, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"I'm not picky about food, as long as it's not too greasy. I'll eat whatever you cook."
Bai Qiujing took out his cell phone and started buying groceries. He wanted to have a light dinner, so he could make some side dishes. He had to go home in the evening, so he might as well prepare breakfast for tomorrow. Shen Zhichu liked to drink porridge and eat crab roe buns in the morning.
Bai Qiujing bought a few hairy crabs and prepared to make crab roe buns. They would be best tonight, and Chen Zhichu could heat them up and eat them tomorrow morning.
After ordering the dishes, Bai Qiujing looked up and subconsciously fixed his eyes in the direction of Shen Zhichu.
Chengdu has smog in mid-October. It is dark outside, with gray clouds floating above the buildings, and a faint halo on the edges of the clouds.
Shen Zhichu lowered his head to read the script, his temperament was calm and well-behaved, and he was curled up in the rocking chair.
Shen Zhichu had a delicate face, but if one had to pick out the most beautiful part, it would be his eyes, which were the most like his eyes in the past.
Peach blossom eyes, with the upturned corners of the eyes dyed with delicate pink, like the color of peach blossoms, long and curled eyelashes, pupils as black as ink, and pink eyelids. When she raises her eyes slightly, she looks bright and charming.
Bai Qiujing liked Shen Zhichu as a person rather than her face. He looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to carve her soul into his memory so that no matter what she looked like, he would be able to recognize her at the first moment.
Chen Zhichu works very seriously, and has a fatal charm to him. Bai Qiujing likes people who work seriously, likes Chen Zhichu's smile, likes the way Chen Zhichu smiles brightly and calls him the big movie star to tease him, and likes the way she takes his hand and actively approaches him, interlocking their fingers to announce to outsiders that he is her boyfriend.
It would have been great if he had known Shen Zhichu before. Meeting the most beautiful person at the most beautiful time is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Although things are not bad now, he wishes that he could stay with Shen Zhichu all the time, watching her grow up, laughing with her when she laughs, and having his shoulder to lean on when she is sad.
…….
"Did she sign for it this time?" Li Jingshen placed his hands on the edge of the table, tapped his fingertips twice, and after confirming, he said lightly, "Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jingshen opened the incoming call page and looked at the column for Shen Zhichu. He would make this call every day, and every time he would hear the cold system tone.
After Shen Zhichu called Bai Qiujing once when he was in a car accident, he blocked him and hasn't let him out until now.
Shen Zhichu has always been decisive in his actions. She had been tolerant of him repeatedly in the past only because she liked him.
He once relied on Shen Zhichu's love for him to betray and bully her again and again. But now Shen Zhichu no longer likes him, so what does he have left?
"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door. "Boss Li, it's me."
"Come in."
The person who came in was Zhao Qian, holding a stack of documents in his hand. Seeing that Li Jingshen was not in a good mental state, he casually asked with concern: "Mr. Li, are you okay?"
