Chapter 83 Someone bullied me on the train.
Jing Ge didn't expect to see Zhang Siming when he turned around.
I was startled and almost stepped back onto the frozen ground.
Zhang Siming quickly said, "Don't be nervous. I didn't dare to make a sound because I saw you were on the phone."
The smile in Jing Ge's eyes hadn't completely faded when he subconsciously asked, "You listened to my phone call?"
"..." Zhang Siming waved his hand in a panic, "I didn't hear you, I only came over after you finished fighting."
Night seemed to suddenly envelop the earth, with streetlights casting a faint glow in the distance.
Jingge was still wearing the extreme cold down jacket that Li Mu had bought for her before they went to Antarctica that year, which warmly wrapped her body and kept the cold wind at bay.
She gave a slightly apologetic smile: "Did you need something?"
Zhang Siming hesitated, unsure whether to speak directly: "President Li?"
Jing Ge nodded.
Zhang Siming: "You guys..."
Jingge tilted his head slightly, puzzled: "Did you need something from me?"
She emphasized the word "you".
In fact, Jingge has a strong sense of aloofness. She seems gentle and easy to get along with, but that's just a facade. She's okay with girls, but there's a clear barrier between her and men.
It's difficult for men to enter her social circle.
She was very resistant to having her boundaries disturbed, and Zhang Siming could tell that.
"It's nothing," Zhang Siming smiled. "It's time to eat, I'll come and call you."
Jing Ge: "Okay, thank you, let's go."
"Um."
The two walked together toward the guesthouse restaurant.
The night wind carried the biting chill of the snow-capped mountains, and my shoes crunched and groaned as I stepped on the frozen snow.
“Thanks to you,” Zhang Siming suddenly said, “otherwise I would never have met someone like President Li in real life.”
Jing Ge: "?"
Zhang Siming walked at a leisurely pace: "On the day of the company's team building dinner, I came back unexpectedly to pack a few set meals for my sister. I happened to run into President Li on the phone and heard your name again."
Jingge couldn't help but stop and stare.
On the day of the dinner party, Li Mushi helped her out by dismantling the crabs for her and then went out to wash her hands. When she came back, Jing Ge had already finished eating the crab meat and roe.
"Hmm," Jing Ge said, confused, not knowing what Zhang Siming wanted to say. "What's wrong?"
Li Mushi asked her what was wrong on the phone.
Isn't that normal?
Zhang Siming looked at the dark mountains in the distance: "He told the person on the phone that he couldn't ignore you after meeting you. You're family, and he was afraid that his second brother and sister-in-law would blame him for not taking care of their own child. At that time, I felt that President Li was not as cold as he appeared on TV. He was actually very good to his family."
Jingge was already looking at him.
Zhang Siming met her gaze and said gently, "I really envy children from families like yours, where elders care for and look after the younger generation. In ordinary families, people would fight tooth and nail over something as trivial as a Yadea. President Li has a really good relationship with his brother and sister-in-law."
“You’re wrong.” Jing Ge was unremarkable.
Zhang Siming: "What?"
Jingge: "He couldn't possibly have said those things."
"......"
“He condenses every three sentences into three words,” Jing Ge said bluntly. “He wouldn’t waste so much time on the phone.”
Zhang Siming pursed his lips.
Jing Ge: "Thanks to me, he didn't get the benefit, which is why you're able to slander him like this."
Zhang Siming's lips moved slightly: "I didn't slander you, I said I was envious..."
Jingge didn't want to listen and turned to leave.
If Zhang Siming's purpose was to sow discord, then clearly he succeeded.
The emotions I've been so deeply infatuated with these past two days have plummeted to rock bottom, and the hidden worries buried deep in my heart have resurfaced.
She was so focused on confirming whether she was experiencing the suspension bridge effect, and she was also infatuated with the feeling Li Mushi gave her. Hormones took over, and she ignored all other issues.
She was once Li Zhan's fiancée, and she almost called Li Kaiji and Sheng Man "Dad" and "Mom".
Li Mushi had a very good relationship with them, and the entire Li family had a very good relationship.
Li Mushi may seem unassuming, but he dotes on Li Zhan and Li Ying.
The dog that Li Zhan raised was a gift from Li Mushi for his 18th birthday, named Tianlang.
She only knew how to presumptuously change how she addressed someone and deliberately get closer to them, without realizing that her behavior might cause trouble for the other person.
It seems she's fallen for someone she shouldn't.

Jing Ge and Wang Weiran left the group the next day.
The two rented a car, with Wang Weiran acting as their guide, while the two girls went off to explore on their own.
Wang Weiran didn't ask Jing Ge why she suddenly left the group. This girl was younger than her, younger than everyone in their dormitory. She was young and smart, the kind of girl who was "precocious" as the old saying goes.
In matters of the heart, aside from having a few more relationships than her, Wang Weiran really didn't dare to talk about life's wisdom in front of her.
Back in college, Jingge kept her engagement to him, didn't interact with other boys, and never dated anyone. Besides, the men they were dating were from completely different social classes.
Wang Weiran's experience is not suitable for her.
Every year has its own thoughts, and every age has its own troubles. There are many things she needs to figure out for herself.
In the following days, Jing Ge would still send Li Mushi his location and let him know he was safe, but he stopped sharing photos and changed his nickname for him to "Uncle".
After the Lunar New Year, with the return-to-work rush underway, train and plane tickets were in high demand. Jingge had also left the tour group and could not return to Haishi with the group. She could only buy tickets for different segments of the trip and go to whichever city had tickets available first.
Wang Weiran saw her off at the station. Jing Ge told her that he would come to be her bridesmaid when she got married and would see her off on her wedding day.
The station was bustling with people, and the background noise was deafening.
Wang Weiran helped her fix her hair: "Relationships are a matter between two people. You should first understand yourself before trying to understand the other person. If one of you is not right, that's fine. But if both of you are right, then he should be involved in solving the difficulties you encounter."
Jing Ge asked, bewildered, "Huh?"
Wang Weiran said bluntly, "Your uncle will handle it."
“So what if Zhang Siming stabbed me?” Wang Weiran couldn’t help but say. “Some men are really disgusting when they can’t get a girl. Be careful of him at the company. He has no class.”
Jingge hugged her and said, "Okay."
The train was crowded, and Jingge sat in a seat next to the aisle, lost in thought as the train rattled along.
Several children screamed and ran past in the aisle.
Jing Ge pursed his lips, took out his phone, and changed "Uncle" back to "Li Mushi".
After a while, amidst the child's screams, Jing Ge became agitated and changed "Li Mushi" back to "Uncle".
After a while, Jingge deleted "Uncle" and changed it to his name.
After revising and editing five or six times, Jingge couldn't stand herself anymore. Just as she was about to make the final revision, her elbow, which was being typed, was suddenly bumped by a running child.
The single character "厉" was treated as a message and sent out against its will.
Jing Ge raised her eyelashes, her eyes fixed on the child who had been screaming and running around in the carriage for a long time.
"Mom!" the child screamed, "She's glaring at me!"
The child's parent immediately stood up: "He didn't do it on purpose, you scared him!"
The phone vibrated in her palm. Jing Ge lowered her eyes and saw that Li Mushi had received her message "Li" and replied with a "?".
The child and his mother stared at her, as if they were still waiting for her to apologize.
In a moment of impulsiveness, Jingge sent a voice message: "Daddy, someone bullied me on the train. Have Ah Long and Ah Hu come pick me up in a helicopter and take me home!"
