Chapter 198 Care
Ren Limeng looked at Shen Xingzhi with cold eyes. Although her words were just a brief reminder, they seemed to imply a faint hint of "Don't waste your time on me". She and Shen Xingzhi were only one step away from each other, as if they were within reach, but they seemed so far apart.
The road ahead is long and arduous. If she wants to catch up with Shen Xingzhi, she has to work harder!
No matter what Chen Xingzhi meant by his words, Ren Limeng's smile froze for half a second, and as her mind turned, she suppressed all her discouragement and gave herself more encouragement to move forward. Her expression quickly returned to normal, and in the dim light under the stage, no one seemed to notice her abnormality for a moment.
Ren Limeng grinned, "Senior Xingzhi, are you praising me for my progress this year? I remember when I first joined the club, you said I wasn't suitable for hosting!"
Ren Limeng seemed to have not heard the hidden meaning of Shen Xingzhi's words at all. She changed the subject and brought up the topic of love. Her eyes were clear and bright, as if these small talk were just casually mentioned and she hid all her thoughts.
"Hmm? Did I say that?"
"Your eyes expressed it! I remember the interview clearly, senior, don't tell me you didn't think that way back then!"
Ren Limeng raised her face righteously, frowned and "questioned" with a smile in her eyes, but there was no disappointment in her bright eyes, as if Shen Xingzhi's sudden serious reminder just now did not make her sad at all.
"Schoolmate..."
Chen Xingzhi seemed to be somewhat frustrated by Ren Limeng's specious arguments. He sighed softly without further explanation, but his tone gradually softened.
"So, Senior Xingzhi, it was really unreasonable of you to suddenly doubt whether I'm suitable for hosting. I'm clearly so hardworking, there's no way I wouldn't be suitable! I just... combine work and rest with hosting, and sometimes I learn a little bit about other things. If you're not interested, I won't tell you next time. These gossips may not be known to ordinary people!"
Ren Limeng blinked with a smile, and her eloquent look of "I'm discussing this with you only because we have a good relationship" made Shen Xingzhi shake his head helplessly. When they looked at each other, they both couldn't help but smile.
At that time, Chen Xingyi certainly never thought that the ranking in his heart would undergo a drastic change later, and he would one day dislike someone for caring more about work.
Chen Xingzhi: Ren Limeng, don’t change the subject.
Shen Xingzhi: You are childish!
Ren Limeng recalled Shen Xingzhi's cold face when they met just now, coupled with the strong emotions that came across in the conversation at this moment, the contrast was inexplicably cute, making her unable to help but smile.
Ren Limeng: Okay, okay, I’m childish.
Ren Limeng: Brother Xingzhi, I’m sorry. It’s my first time being a captain, and I’m a little happy.
Ren Limeng: Just a little bit!
Ren Limeng: Actually, I am very sad. It’s a pity that San Gong can’t be on the same team with you!
Ren Limeng: If I am still the captain in the fourth public performance, can you talk to the program team and stop being the captain? I will definitely be the first one to take the initiative and firmly choose you!
Ren Limeng: (firmly swear starry eyes.jpg)
Chen Xingzhi: Huh.
Shen Xingzhi: I almost believed it.
Chen Xingzhi: Sharp-tongued.
Shen Xingzhi's reply was very cold, but the speed of his reply still allowed Ren Limeng to keenly notice the change in his attitude.
Ren Limeng pursued the victory.
Ren Limeng: I can’t help it. Who told you not to tell me anything? (Shakes head helplessly)
Ren Limeng: We are not in the same team this time, Brother Xingzhi, you should reflect on yourself.
It’s okay that the two of them are not together in the Sangong team, but Ren Limeng has been talking about Shen Xingzhi’s attitude towards dealing with certain things for a long time, but she just hasn’t found the right opportunity.
Ren Limeng: When I asked you about the contract renewal, you always said you knew it and told me not to worry. But look at today's arrangement, it's definitely not what you expected (dog head)
Ren Limeng: There are some things you don’t need to bear alone.
Ren Limeng: Even though I'm not very useful, I'm not stupid. Even if I come up with random ideas, I can still come up with a bunch of nonsense. Maybe one of them will be useful!
Ren Limeng understood that Shen Xingzhi didn't want her to worry because he wanted to do it for her own good, but she really wanted to tell Shen Xingzhi that despite his good intentions, she didn't know his thoughts and arrangements, and her worries would only increase.
Because even if she says one thing and means another, she still has to admit that she cares.
Ren Limeng: Anyway, next time I have something to ask you, can you please talk to me more?
Don't always say you know what's going on, it will make her feel uneasy.
Ren Limeng expressed it quickly, but this time, Shen Xingzhi replied very slowly. However, Ren Limeng believed that Shen Xingzhi should have seen her message as soon as possible.
After all, during the recording trip, there was not much that anyone could do in the car.
More importantly, Ren Limeng caught the "the other party is typing..." that flashed across the top of the chat box just after she started sending the message. Although she hadn't received a reply from Shen Xingzhi for a long time, Ren Limeng didn't feel anxious at all.
In the camera inside the car, her expression was still calm and gentle. Perhaps only the slight pause of her fingers recorded her hesitation for a moment in sending the message, but in the end, Ren Limeng was loyal to her heart and told Shen Xingzhi her thoughts.
She just wanted to tell him that she wanted to know about him.
It was only 12:15 when Ren Limeng and her group arrived at the VIP room of the high-speed railway station. Everyone sat on the sofas in the corner of the VIP room and continued to play with their mobile phones in silence. The only difference was that the cameras were set up again in the VIP room. Whenever the four guests made eye contact, they would show the same friendly smile.
Not long after, Team Chen Xingzhi and Team Guan He also arrived at the VIP room. Guan He came over with a smile to greet Ren Limeng and his group, his eyes frequently falling on Ren Limeng.
After saying hello, he sat down next to Fei Jingting and An Ling and started chatting with them. However, Ren Limeng suddenly stood up.
"Li Meng, where are you going?"
Guan He asked subconsciously, realizing that he had reacted too quickly. He tried to make amends and continued to ask with concern, "I heard there are a lot of fans gathered outside the station. If you go out alone, be careful!"
"I'm just going to the bathroom to tidy up my clothes."
Ren Limeng nodded politely with a hint of alienation. After the recording yesterday, Guan He actually wanted to ask her out privately, but Ren Limeng had no other thoughts and just coldly rejected him again.
Regardless of whether Guan He really likes her, as adults, they should at least be aware of the appropriate distance between each other, especially in public.
"Brother Guan He, you are too worried about Li Meng."
Li Qingzi, who was standing by, had put down her phone at some point and was looking at Guan He quietly. She blinked with a teasing look on her face.
"Qingzi, Brother Guan He is just concerned about everyone. There's no need to overthink it, right?"
Ren Limeng smiled faintly, and her face, which seemed to be half-smiling, lost some of its gentleness and became more serious. Before Li Qingzi could explain, she continued, "Brother Guan He and I were teammates in the second public performance, but we were also teammates in the first public performance. I believe you are just as nervous about me."
The tone was firm and firm. Sensing the different attitudes between Ren Limeng and Yigong, Li Qingzi couldn't help but look up. She smiled meaningfully, "Of course, and Limeng, you're our captain this time, so of course we're very nervous about you."
Li Qingzi didn't expect that Ren Limeng would behave much more powerfully than she had imagined after becoming the captain. Whether it was because she was just a captain in the show, or Ren Limeng wanted to bully others by relying on Chen Xingzhi, Li Qingzi was willing to accompany her to the end.
But it is true that during the recording of the third public performance, she had to think more carefully before each move. In addition to the subtle changes in Ren Limeng's current status, what was more important was that their current teammates no longer had a second Yan Baiwei.
Fei Jingting's every move was meant to protect herself, and An Ling's attitude was ambiguous and difficult to discern. Due to their personalities, neither of them would be as impulsive as Yan Baiwei, and Li Qingzi also had to think carefully about it.
Li Qingzi's eyes couldn't help but fall on An Ling, who was sitting beside her with a smile.
The cooperation between her agent Xu Jiao and Orange Platform Entertainment Director Zhong Yanjun has ended. It seems reasonable for An Ling to stand by and watch at this moment, but Li Qingzi does not believe that An Ling can treat Ren Limeng with a completely normal attitude.
In any case, Ren Limeng had to "grab" An Ling's guest spot in the beginning to have the opportunity to record "Mountains and Seas". To be able to become the number one host on the Orange platform, An Ling is not a careless person!
Li Qingzi was thinking slowly in the VIP room. On the other side, Ren Limeng had already gone to the restroom outside the VIP room. The restroom was still in the VIP room area. Compared with the crowds in the high-speed rail station, it was very quiet.
As soon as she came out of the women's bathroom and walked towards the sink, Ren Limeng immediately noticed Shen Xingzhi standing on the side of the men's bathroom. She paused slightly and the smile on her face became even bigger, "Brother Xingzhi, what a coincidence."
The so-called coincidence is naturally more of a human thing.
Before parting in the greenhouse, Ren Limeng's ears moved slightly when she heard Chen Xingzhi's words "see you at the high-speed rail station". Chen Xingzhi was looking at her when he said it, as if it was a deliberate invitation. Ren Limeng thought about it and realized that only the bathroom outside the VIP room had no cameras, and it was relatively quiet with few people, and it must be blocked.
"Li Meng, I'm sorry."
Shen Xingzhi stood by the sink to the right of Ren Limeng. He turned his head and looked at Ren Limeng intently, then said seriously, "You're right, I was arrogant."
Shen Xingzhi's voice was very soft, and the deliberately controlled distance of his voice was inexplicably low. His low and hoarse voice was particularly alluring at the inappropriate time, especially when he met those deep black eyes. Even someone as calm as Ren Limeng was shaken for a moment.
She didn't know what was shaking her, but looking at Shen Xingzhi who was so serious, she always felt that he shouldn't be the one to apologize, but that there was something wrong with her.
Sure enough, male beauty is attractive!
"But there is one thing I object to."
Chen Xingzhi's eyes followed Ren Limeng who suddenly lowered her eyes to wash her hands. He looked at her, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. "You are so smart, how could you give such random advice? Limeng, every word you say is important to me. I am very lucky to have met you."
