Fang Jinyao considered herself not a shy person, and was quite capable and decisive in the workplace. But at this moment, she was unusually hesitant.
Countless possibilities flashed through my mind in an instant. Should I just say it directly?
After speaking frankly...can they still be friends?
From Shen Zhiming's perspective, in the few months they had known each other, Fang Jinyao had been doing this and that, and even running errands, as if all the efforts were unilaterally made by Fang Jinyao.
The most she gave in return was a few meals. Although she also read a lot of guides online to avoid pitfalls in order to treat others to a meal, it was really insignificant compared to what Fang Jinyao did.
Shen Zhiming didn't know that everything Fang Jinyao did was a satisfaction to her. She didn't mind giving because she gained the emotions she wanted from giving, even though most of these emotions were made up by herself.
"Sister?" Ever since asking that question, the talkative Fang Jinyao seemed to have been given a mute drug, not uttering a single word. The socially anxious Shen Zhiming was almost unable to hold back, and began to frantically think of topics to talk about.
"So, shall we go see the scene?"
Yu Yu will be on stage later.
Fang Jinyao: ...
"Xiao Shen, I'm going to take you somewhere, do you want to go?" Fang Jinyao thought about it and thought that Ziyi was on the scene and should be able to take over Qin Yuhuan's affairs. At this moment, she was madly thinking about skipping work in an unprofessional manner.
Shen Zhiming:?
"But aren't you very busy today?" The point is, if she left halfway, then she would have only watched two of Yu Yu's shows today, what a loss!
"Yeah, it's okay. I've explained everything." Fang Jinyao's phone vibrated. Seeing the "OK" from Ziyi, she felt relieved. "Will you come with me?"
Shen Zhiming hesitated, but Fang Jinyao had a sense of urgency that "time waits for no one", so she raised her foot and walked forward. By the time Shen Zhiming reacted, Fang Jinyao had already leaned over to help her fasten her seat belt.
"Why am I in the car?" The person with indecisiveness hasn't made the final decision yet.
With a click, Fang Jinyao fastened her seatbelt. "Maybe you've made the decision subconsciously."
Shen Zhiming thought so too. Since she was already out, she sat down happily and asked, "Sister, where are you taking me?"
"I heard there's a place in Jincheng that's perfect for watching the sunset and sunrise." Fang Jinyao started the car. "Haven't you always wanted to go see it?"
Judging from the time, if they drive there now, they can still catch the sunset.
As for the sunrise...
If there is a chance in the future.
On the way, Fang Jinyao stopped by a flower shop and bought a bouquet of roses.
Shen Zhiming was surprised even as he held the flowers, "Is it for me?"
She lowered her head and looked at the bouquet of roses in her hand. "Are these roses too?"
She recognized white roses, but the other kind also looked like a rose in shape, but the color was actually light brown.
"Well, that's a cappuccino rose." The first time Fang Jinyao saw it, she thought of Shen Zhiming, who loved coffee. "I like its flower language very much."
The language of flowers and the like were in Shen Zhiming's blind spot.
She nervously moved the flower to the left, her heart pounding. She furtively took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Ziyi: [Yiyi, what does the flower language of Cappuccino Rose mean? Hurry! Help!]
After sending it, I opened Baidu and started searching. This two-pronged approach worked very well.
"Unexpected happiness, gentle love," Shen Zhiming unknowingly read out the answer he had searched for. At the same time, Ziyi's message also came in, [Asking Fang Jinyao.]
Shen Zhiming laughed out loud at Ziyi's reply, and Fang Jinyao gave her a puzzled look.
Shen Zhiming shook his phone and said, “You said you liked the flower language of cappuccino, I just searched it and asked Yiyi.”
She has a sweet voice and always gives people a soft and sticky feeling when she speaks, so she always thinks of herself as a sweet girl, a sweet girl who is a dozen centimeters taller.
"She asked me to ask you." Shen Zhiming found it funny, "But I was just... searching secretly. She used to ask me to ask Baidu."
On the winding mountain road, the silver car was driving smoothly, and Shen Zhiming's favorite songs were playing in the car, and each one was her favorite.
"Sister, why haven't you changed the playlist for so long?" Shen Zhiming cut to the next song.
"You said you like it." Fang Jinyao found a place to park the car on the top of the mountain. "I asked a lot of friends, and they said that watching the sunset here is the most beautiful."
At least in Jincheng, you can get the word "best".
"Just because I like it, you can listen to it all the time?" Shen Zhiming couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. For a moment, he felt that he was really a bit of a bully, and for a moment, he felt that Fang Jinyao had such a good temper that he made people lose their way without realizing it.
Fang Jinyao hummed, "If you like it, I can listen to it all the time."
She thought about it all the way, hesitated all the way, and finally decided to give it a try. With Shen Zhiming's personality, they should be able to be friends. At worst...
Fang Jinyao walked to the railing and had a panoramic view of the urban area of Jincheng. Even her mind seemed to become more open invisibly.
"I don't think I've ever told you about my family. Do you want to hear about it?"
Before Shen Zhiming could answer "yes or no", Fang Jinyao started talking, "I grew up in a single-parent family, without a father. My mother bought sperm to give birth to me because... her ex-girlfriend got married and had a child."
Shen Zhiming had never expected such a thing. She guessed that Fang Jinyao was a single parent and knew that her mother was Ren Jing's agent, a former high-ranking figure in the entertainment industry. However, she did not expect that Fang Jinyao was born under such conditions.
"She wanted to prove to her ex-girlfriend that marriage isn't the only option in life, that you can raise a wonderful child without getting married, and that being a parent isn't the only definition of a 'complete family.'"
Fang Jinyao's eyes flickered with memories. She chuckled softly at something she was thinking about. "She told me that herself. I suspect she just didn't want to admit defeat. She didn't want to lose to her ex-girlfriend. She wanted to make her regret it, just to feel good about it."
After all, her mother has always been strong and competitive, and when they broke up, her mother's career had not yet reached its peak, and her ex-girlfriend found a husband with quite good conditions.
"I think so too." Shen Zhiming agreed softly, "So what happened next? You're so outstanding, did Auntie feel happy?"
"I don't know," Fang Jinyao shook her head. "I haven't asked. My relationship with her is... a bit plastic. She doesn't ask me about my personal matters, and I don't ask hers either."
But when one of them wants to talk, the other will be willing to listen.
Shen Zhiming rarely had a flash of inspiration: "You can say that, which means that you and Auntie still have a very good relationship. Real plastics won't say plastics, and will tell the whole world that your relationship is so good."
