Chapter 20 She just proposed it and he agreed.
"Brother Xingzhi, are you encountering... difficulties? Is it because your father doesn't understand you? I have an idea... Let's get married! If you have your own little family, your father will probably feel more at ease! Coincidentally, I also want to get married and leave my parents. We can kill two birds with one stone."
After the graduation party, everyone was immersed in the exciting atmosphere of reminiscence and imagination. Amidst the laughter and joy of drinking and getting drunk today, Ren Limeng noticed that Chen Xingzhi had been away for a long time.
She finally couldn't bear it any longer and stood up. She tiptoed to the stairwell outside the corner of the corridor and saw Shen Xingzhi, who looked tired.
Ren Limeng had almost never seen Chen Xingzhi like this. Chen Xingzhi answered the phone expressionlessly, his eyes slightly closed, his half-hunched body leaning heavily against the mottled wall, his slender right hand tightly grasping the phone next to his ear, the blue veins bulging silently on the back of his white hand.
At this moment, the indifferent and cold feeling lingering around him added a bit of stubbornness. Shen Xingzhi was like a decadent and fragile cold beauty rose, which made people feel distressed and fascinating.
Ren Limeng didn't know the ins and outs of what happened to Shen Xingzhi. When she got closer, she heard Shen Xingzhi's cold voice when he replied on the phone, and she secretly guessed that Shen Xingzhi might have had a conflict with his father.
With a burst of courage and in the atmosphere of graduation and farewell, Ren Limeng spoke without hesitation, her passion still lingering. She brought out the beautiful dream that she had only imagined in her mind, half-truthfully revealing her long-hidden girlish thoughts.
curious coincidence.
To this day, Ren Limeng cannot find a second word to describe the two people at that time.
However, if she was acting in a superior manner due to the atmosphere, why would Shen Xingzhi agree?
Ren Limeng didn't know.
She didn’t even understand what Shen Xingzhi and his father were arguing about, nor did she know whether her so-called advice could solve his problem.
She just proposed it and he agreed.
Ren Limeng believed that when she faced Shen Xingzhi, her heart rate was definitely over 180 beats per second. She was even more nervous than when she was doing the last question of the most difficult math test in the college entrance examination. After so many years, the feeling of anxiety is still vivid in her mind.
At that time, after impulsively making the suggestion, Ren Limeng's mind was blank. She tried hard to control her trembling palms, but she couldn't stop the sweat that suddenly appeared on her hands.
Ren Limeng didn't have the courage to pay attention to the expression on Shen Xingzhi's face. She just took a deep breath through her nose, lowered her head quietly, secretly regretting her "shocking words", and kept praying for good luck to come.
"good."
Shen Xingzhi's voice was very soft, but it flowed into Ren Limeng's heart like a stream of sweet spring water. Ren Limeng looked up suddenly, and the disbelief and uneasiness in her eyes were stained with ecstatic excitement. She tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that kept turning up unconsciously.
Until she heard Shen Xingzhi's firm and powerful voice continue to say "Let's get married", Ren Limeng finally couldn't help it.
She secretly pinched the side of her thigh with the fingertips of her right hand. The intense pain made her even happier. A special light flashed in her bright eyes, which was her vision of the future.
It turns out that even if Shen Xingzhi is about to graduate, they may have a different ending besides separation!
The stairwell was shrouded in soft dim light, and Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng smiled at each other.
“My starting point…”
Ten years later, in the same midsummer of June, in a similar dim stairwell, Ren Limeng and Shen Xing were only one step apart. As they stared at each other in silence, their eyes revealed unconcealable temptation and wariness.
"...Well, it's unnecessary for me to do this."
Chen Xingzhi took a deep look at Ren Limeng's tense face, and pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mockery. He raised his head, spoke slowly, and turned to leave.
When the two returned to the restaurant with normal expressions, the other members of the production team had already finished their meal. Dong Zhu was sitting next to Yan Baiwei, patting her left shoulder with her right hand. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her calm expression did not subside until she looked at Chen Xingzhi on the other side.
After Dong Zhu secretly observed the surroundings, a warm smile appeared on her face. She stood up and walked to Shen Xingzhi's side, saying slowly, "Teacher Shen, can we continue filming the Flame Altar now?"
Shen Xingzhi looked at the dozens of people at the scene with a faint gaze. Under his piercing gaze, he remained silent, a silence that was extremely oppressive.
Yan Baiwei, who was standing aside, bit her lip, feeling Dong Zhu's burning gaze, and suddenly raised her voice and said, "Chen Xingzhi, I'm sorry, it was my fault this morning! I shouldn't have been so petty!"
Before she finished speaking, Yan Baiwei didn't look at anyone and ran out of the restaurant alone. Noticing Yan Baiwei's crying tone, Li Qingzi hesitated a little, picked up her bag, and chased after her.
Shen Xingzhi did not embarrass Dong Zhu again.
At the same Yantan scenic spot, the five guests and the program staff returned to the location where the recording was stopped at noon, preparing to quickly complete the filming of the first scenic spot at the first stop.
"Qingzi, do you have any ideas for this weekend's Yigong?"
Taking advantage of the debugging period before the recording of the program, Ren Limeng finished her makeup neatly and walked lightly to Li Qingzi, who was having her bangs fixed by the makeup artist. Her smiling eyes were fixed on Li Qingzi.
"I'm fine with either. Just listen to what everyone says!"
Li Qingzi turned her head calmly and secretly looked at Ren Limeng who walked to her side alone. She did not ignore the frequent glances from Yan Baiwei who was also putting on makeup not far away. A trace of vigilance flashed across Li Qingzi's eyes.
Because of Shen Xingzhi, Yan Baiwei was in such a mess in front of everyone, and Yan Baiwei would not tolerate this.
Why did Ren Limeng suddenly look for her at this time?
"Qingzi, Wednesday is almost over. We can't delay any longer."
Ren Limeng followed Li Qingzi's gaze and looked at Yan Baiwei. The smile on her lips was still so gentle and dignified. She didn't care about Yan Baiwei's disdainful roll of eyes at all, nor was she angry about Li Qingzi's alienation.
After Ren Limeng finished speaking, she turned her gaze to the leftmost side where Shen Xingzhi was resting with his eyes closed. He looked calm and composed among the people coming and going. Li Qingzi also looked at Shen Xingzhi without saying a word.
She understood Ren Limeng's purpose.
After a while, Ren Limeng finally heard Li Qingzi's complicated reply, "I should be able to persuade Bai Wei. But what about Brother Xingzhi? Can you, a junior student like you, convince him?"
He is known throughout the company as a stubborn person.
Li Qingzi rarely saw Chen Xingzhi's emotions so exposed. At noon, when she heard Chen Xingzhi's undoubted dissatisfaction, she secretly said badly in her heart and had to worry about the recording of the first stop.
Li Qingzi and Shen Xingzhi have been in the same company for six years and have had the same agent for four years. She has some understanding of Shen Xingzhi's indifferent personality.
Even though she was Shen Xingzhi's nominal "junior sister", she did not seem to have any control over Shen Xingzhi's thoughts.
No matter how fantastic the marketing was, Li Qingzi didn't dare to take it seriously. She knew very well that if Hanxing and Xu Jiao hadn't used both soft and hard tactics and caught up with the time when Chen Xingzhi was renewing his contract, Chen Xingzhi would never have cooperated with Hanxing to take her with him.
Li Qingzi knew this very well and was even frightened.
She was very afraid that Shen Xingzhi would show his indifference and disregard for her in public, which would have a huge impact on her development in the entertainment industry. After all, the only thing she could remember was "Shen Xingzhi's junior sister". Even though she was extremely unwilling, Li Qingzi could do nothing about it.
"Of course I don't have that ability."
Ren Limeng seemed not to understand Li Qingzi's slightly thorny question. She raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Dong Zhu on the other side. "But the program team will definitely be able to do it."
No way.
It took a whole afternoon to even deal with Yan Baiwei's boycott of recording. It is obvious that Dong Zhu and others have reached the limit of being able to deal with the top-tier traffic Yan Baiwei. If Ren Limeng wants to influence the top evergreen Chen Xingzhi, she will not pin her hopes on the program crew.
She only knew Shen Xingzhi a little bit.
No matter how distant he seems, he actually has a basic sense of responsibility. Behind his cold and indifferent appearance, there is a passionate heart, which is why she fell deeper and deeper in love with him. It all started with his appearance and ended with his character.
As a team leader, Shen Xingzhi should be easier to deal with than Yan Baiwei.
Ren Limeng finished her negotiations with Dong Zhu in a natural manner, and then went straight to Shen Xingzhi with a smile.
"Senior Xingzhi!"
Hearing Ren Limeng's pretendedly friendly call, Shen Xingzhi's ears moved slightly, and he opened his eyes but did not look at Ren Limeng, his eyes were indifferent.
"Senior, have you thought about the stage for our first performance?"
Chen Xingzhi stared expressionlessly at Ren Limeng, who was smiling brightly, and said coldly, "Who is your senior? Ren Limeng, is this the stranger you were talking about?"
Well, I'm still angry.
A real man like him actually played word games with her!
Ren Limeng's inner complaints were endless, but she still had a gentle smile on her face. When she heard Shen Xingzhi's sarcastic question, Ren Limeng was neither angry nor annoyed.
She shamelessly said, "I was just making an analogy. How could we be strangers? We can't go back to college and change the past. It's an indisputable fact that you are my senior! However, if I could go back to college, I wouldn't want to change the past. I think everything is the perfect arrangement!"
"Honestly?"
Shen Xingzhi’s eyes were dark, and suddenly they became extremely sharp, shooting straight at Ren Limeng’s smiling face.
That deep glance was like a gaze from the depths of the sea, like an echo in a long valley, causing Ren Limeng's expression to freeze subtly for a moment.
She seemed to understand what he meant.
Is he asking if she really doesn't want to change the past?
Do you really not regret meeting him in college?
Even if it ends in disgrace, does she still think that everything is the perfect arrangement?
The myriad thoughts in my mind are but a moment's thought in reality.
The complexity in Ren Limeng's eyes faded away, the corners of her mouth raised, and she met Chen Xingzhi's eyes, which were as deep as the deep roots of an old tree, without any concession. As her eyes moved, her eyes became even clearer, as warm as the morning light, as crystal clear as dewdrops, without the hypocrisy when she called him "senior" affectionately just now.
She answered Shen Xingzhi without hesitation, her tone firm and powerful.
