Liu Yi's eyes welled up with tears: "Thank you, President Fu, for personally praying for my safety. I will work even harder in the future."
"Sister Liu, I gave you this safety amulet not to make you work harder, but because I consider you a friend. Go on, distribute the gifts." Fu Jingchen smiled.
Liu Yi walked downstairs with light steps.
She would occasionally touch the small box in her pocket, and that was just fine.
Zhou Luo washed her hands and came over. She sat down opposite Fu Jingchen and said, "You must have a lot of work to do. I'll go to the break room and wait for you to get off work."
"Luo Luo, why don't you come to my place first, so you won't be bored at the company?" Fu Jingchen was reluctant to let Zhou Luo wait for him for so long.
“Okay, I haven’t seen Zhao Rong for several days, I’ll keep her company this afternoon.” Zhou Luo slung his bag over his shoulder and left.
Zhao Rong is livestreaming from home.
The live stream, which had 10,000 followers, only had about a dozen viewers online, but Zhao Rong was having a great time dancing.
When Zhou Luo called her, she was being punished after losing a PK battle with another streamer.
After finishing her punishment, Zhao Rong went back online and told her fans that her girlfriends had arrived and that she would be back online later that evening.
The guys in the afternoon weren't very good; they lost several PK matches in a row, so it was a good excuse to end the stream.
Zhou Luo brought a gift for Zhao Rong.
A bag of agricultural products plus a handmade sachet, all local specialties.
Seeing Zhou Luo's radiant face, Zhao Rong knew that the meeting with her parents had gone well.
She took Zhou Luo's arm and asked, "Uncle and Auntie really like Fu Jingchen, right?"
"How did you know?" Zhou Luo hadn't even said a word yet.
"Your smile is practically reaching your ears. Is there anything else that makes you this happy right now besides this?" Zhao Rong said, pointing to Zhou Luo's cheek.
Zhou Luo quickly wiped the smile off her face: "Couldn't it be because I see you're happy?"
Zhao Rong glanced at her best friend: "When did you see that expression on my face? What are you hiding? Isn't it normal to be happy? I'm not going to make fun of you. Tell me about it."
Zhou Luo wished she could describe even the subtle facial expressions of her parents.
After listening, Zhao Rong said decisively, "It's definitely going to happen. Fu Jingchen is quite good at showing off; he even volunteered to do farm work."
"Of course, but Rongrong, I don't know why, but I'm a little uneasy. Fu Jingchen is really good to me sometimes, but sometimes he's really bad, so bad that I feel like he's mentally unstable." Zhou Luo had argued with Fu Jingchen for a few days, and she found that Fu Jingchen's ruthlessness was quite frightening.
“What couple doesn’t argue? Besides, you’re so dramatic, so what if he ignores you? Does he have to go against you, fight tooth and nail, and start a big battle? Ignoring you is him being accommodating.” Zhao Rong’s opinion was completely different.
“What you said makes sense. If I say something and he replies, we’re bound to argue. Then he’ll ignore me. After a few days, we’ll both calm down and be able to resolve the issue properly. But what if this situation turns into passive-aggressive behavior in the future?” Zhou Luo had other concerns.
“That’s possible, but opinions on passive-aggressive behavior vary. Some people prefer to resolve issues by ignoring them, while others prefer to speak out. But if you do speak out, what if both of you lose control of your emotions and end up fighting? It’s up to you which option you can accept,” Zhao Rong analyzed.
“Each has its own downsides, let’s just take it one step at a time. What about you? Have you been to a coffee shop these past few days?” Zhou Luo steered the conversation back to Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong pouted, "I went, but I went for three days in a row. Doesn't Ye Jianming find that strange? Every time I went, he said the same thing: 'Miss, which kind of coffee would you like?'"
"Just this one sentence?" Zhou Luo asked incredulously.
“Yes, doesn’t he wonder why I go there every day?” Zhao Rong couldn’t figure out Ye Jianming’s thoughts. “Is he really the kind of extroverted person? But I’ve seen him a few times and I’ve hardly heard him say a word. After making coffee, if there are no other customers, he just sits alone in the small garden with a computer in front of him. He doesn’t seem like an extrovert at all.”
“He probably has to go online to play games at that time every day. When he’s playing games, he doesn’t have time to chat.” Zhou Luo had only heard about Ye Jianming a few times from Fu Jingchen. She didn’t know anything about the man.
"Then I'll observe him a bit more." After all, Zhao Rong had only just started paying attention to Ye Jianming; she couldn't expect to win him over in just a few days.
"Rongrong." Zhou Luo suddenly hugged Zhao Rong.
"Sister, stop being so dramatic." Zhao Rong guessed what Zhou Luo was going to say, and she pulled Zhou Luo's hand away. "I told you you would be happy, that someone would come along and make you feel that all the misfortunes you've experienced were worth it."
"Yes." Zhou Luo nodded vigorously.
She had just graduated from university and experienced a heartbreaking relationship. It was her first love, but he was a complete scumbag who cheated on her, cheated her out of money, and dumped her even after she had several miscarriages...
For a long time, Zhou Luo dared not trust men anymore, and even thought that she would never date again and would just play around with anyone.
She had considered finding someone to forget that unbearable past, but the more she tried to forget, the more she couldn't. The more she tried to prove that she was doing well after leaving that person, the less she could prove it.
Until she met Fu Jingchen.
"Luo Luo, I have to remind you again, don't play any childish tricks to test other people's true feelings. Let the hurt you suffered in another relationship remain buried in that other relationship. Fu Jingchen is not like Zha Hui, or rather, most men are not like Zha Hui, so don't live in the shadow of him forever. You have to believe that Fu Jingchen won't do that," Zhao Rong reminded her best friend.
“Hmm.” Zhou Luo nodded again. “Before I did this, I just wanted to know just how much he could tolerate me.”
"Don't do such childish things in the future."
"Know."
Zhou Luo shrugged and took a deep breath: "I'm a little hungry. Shall we have sushi? Kyōgun."
"Sure, I was just thinking of eating avocado. Wait, I'll head to the coffee shop first. Did you drive?" Zhao Rong hadn't visited Ye Jianming's place yet today.
"It's open."
"Then I won't drive. I'll ride in your car. It'll be a short drive, and I'll get a coffee to go." Zhao Rong said as she changed her clothes. Unlike the slightly sexy look she had when she was dancing, she was now wearing a Chanel-style suit, looking like a well-bred lady.
"You're quite the actor," Zhou Luo said bluntly.
"Hehe, isn't that right? Men like watching live streams, but they don't like their partners dressed like that, right? Before I can win over Ye Jianming, I have to behave myself."
"It's as if you were unruly before, Rongrong. True love is allowing yourself to be yourself."
"I know, but first impressions are very important. At least you have to fall in love with someone first."
"That's good to know, let's go." Zhou Luo took Zhao Rong's hand.
In the coffee shop.
After finishing lunch, Rong Bing sat down to rest in the small garden.
She stared blankly at the bustling traffic on the street, as if the lively scene had nothing to do with her.
I don't know why, but I feel empty inside.
