"Hey, why are you hitting people so casually?"

Recognizing his voice, Ren Jingshu looked at him in surprise, and the next second she lowered her eyes as if she didn't know him.

Mother Ren looked at Zhao Yun carefully, "Who are you?"

"I, I was just passing by. Why can't I just talk it out calmly? Why did I hit someone?"

Mother Ren was not someone who could be easily fooled. She looked at the roses Zhao Yun was holding, then glanced at Ren Jingshu, and said with a half-smile: "Are you here to look for my Jingshu?"

"What Jingshu Dongshu? I don't know her! I'm just passing by. Don't hit her again, or I'll call the police!"

After giving the warning, Zhao Yun turned around and left without even looking at Ren Jingshu, as if she was really just a passerby.

However, Ren's mother did not give up and interrogated Ren Jingshu for a long time, but she didn't get anything out of her.

Perhaps she had calmed down a little. Looking at the clear five finger marks on Ren Jingshu's face, Ren's mother raised her hand to touch them, but Ren Jingshu turned her head away.

Ren's mother didn't care and spoke in a gentle tone as if nothing had happened.

"Go backstage and remove your makeup, then go to the dance studio for training. Don't worry about the quota. I have an appointment with President An for lunch at noon, and I will ask her to find a way to get you a spot in the national finals."

Looking at Ren's mother's back as she left, Ren Jingshu looked self-deprecating and then turned backstage to change her clothes.

Zhao Yun did not run far away, but hid beside a car and observed the mother and daughter of the Ren family through the rear view camera.

If Ren's mother dared to hit Ren Jingshu again, he would really make a scene.

Why did you hit his girlfriend? Seeing Ren Jingshu return to the theater, he did not rush to chase her. Instead, he waited until Ren's mother drove away before he excitedly chased her backstage.

"Jingshu, congratulations on getting the runner-up!"

Ren Jingshu paused while removing her makeup, turned around and glared coldly at Zhao Yun's bright smile as he held the roses. "Is it funny? Is it funny that I won the runner-up!?"

Zhao Yun was a little confused. "No, I think you are very good. You got the runner-up among so many contestants. This is a manifestation of your strength."

Ren Jingshu turned her head and continued to remove her makeup. "Go away. I don't need sympathy or pity."

"No, Jingshu, I really think you're amazing. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. Ziheng, Guoguo and Monkey are all very happy for you. They've already gone to the hotel, waiting for you to come over and hold a celebration party for you!"

Ren Jingshu stared at her face in the mirror and clenched the makeup remover sponge in her hand tightly.

"If I'm really good enough, why am I not the champion? Why did I only get the runner-up?"

"That's not your problem. It's the judges who have no vision and don't know how to appreciate. If I were a judge, you would definitely be the champion!"

Ren Jingshu was not comforted by his words. Instead, she felt humiliated and angry.

Does she have to rely on backdoors to be able to participate in the national finals and be eligible to win the championship?

"Go away, don't come to me again, I don't want to see you!"

"Jingshu, I know you are in a bad mood. Especially at times like this, I should accompany you..."

"I told you to get out of here. Don't you understand what I'm saying? You won't feel better until I scold you, right?"

Seeing that she was angry, Zhao Yun didn't dare to say anything more. He put down the flowers and walked away, looking back every few steps.

…

The celebration party was held at Qinyuanchun, a new branch of Shen’s that opened at the beginning of this year.

When Zhao Yun arrived at Qinyuanchun, the dishes had already been served.

Seeing that he came alone, everyone naturally asked about Ren Jingshu out of curiosity.

Zhao Yun didn't have the nerve to say that he had quarreled with Ren Jingshu, and he didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so he made an excuse that Ren Jingshu was taken away by her mother.

"It's okay, let's eat, as a way of thanking everyone for coming to support my Jingshu."

After hearing what he said, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Shen's is quite famous in Fengcheng, but the prices are too expensive and ordinary people simply can't afford it. Today I finally got the chance to have a delicious meal, and I would be losing money if I eat less.

It takes time to serve new dishes, and waiting on an empty stomach is not a solution, so Zhao Yun called Pei Ziheng and planned to go to the nearby Mingzhu Food Court to buy some snacks to fill their stomachs.

Pei Tang insisted on going too, so the three of them went together.

On the way to Mingzhu Food House, Zhao Yun briefly told Pei Ziheng about Ren Jingshu being beaten and angry, hoping that Pei Ziheng would help him think of a way to make Ren Jingshu happy.

Pei Tang said quickly: "Brother Black Bear, I have a good idea!"

"What method?"

"Let's break up and find someone with a gentle temper."

Zhao Yun was speechless: "Nonsense, I am fine with your sister Jingshu."

Pei Tang rolled his eyes cutely, "She told you to get lost, but you still think she's nice. It's pitiful that she got beaten, but it's none of your business. You bought her flowers and held a celebration party out of kindness, but she didn't appreciate it, and she even got angry at you. That's her fault."

"She's just in a bad mood. I'm her boyfriend. If she doesn't vent her anger on me, is she going to vent it on another man?"

Seeing that Zhao Yun was still making excuses for Ren Jingshu at this moment, Pei Tang shook his head.

A dog licks a dog and ends up with nothing.

…

"Jingshu!"

After Ren Jingshu finished practicing a dance, she was about to go to the rest area to get a towel to wipe her sweat when she saw Zhao Yun, who was sitting on a bench, waving at her with a smile, and her body paused slightly.

"How did you know I was here?"

She walked over and looked down at Zhao Yun.

She is the same age as Zhao Yun, 1.66 meters tall, and a head taller than Zhao Yun when he is sitting when she is standing.

Zhao Yun didn't reply, but handed her a towel in one hand and a cup of water in the other, very attentively.

Ren Jingshu took the towel expressionlessly.

Zhao Yun was very happy, because Ren Jingshu's willingness to accept his things meant that she had calmed down.

"It's the weekend, you definitely don't want to go home, where else can you be except here?"

Hearing his answer, Ren Jingshu was stunned for a moment, then noticed the lunch box on the stool.

A small glass lunch box filled with colorful food.

"You haven't had lunch yet, have you? I brought you some special food: vegetable salad, tea eggs, braised beef, and baked sweet potatoes. They are staple foods, protein, and vitamins. Not only are they nutritionally balanced, they are also low-calorie foods. You will definitely not gain weight if you eat them."

Looking at the food laid out one by one, Ren Jingshu was stunned for a long time before she took the fork from Zhao Yun and tasted a bite of the salad.

It tasted very good, at least, much better than the boiled vegetables she usually ate.

"Eat a piece of beef, don't just eat vegetables."

Ren Jingshu swallowed the food in her mouth, then picked up a piece of beef and started eating it in small bites.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Ren Jingshu lowered her eyes and did not answer. Her tears fell into the lunch box without any warning.

She was tired and hungry after practicing dancing for so long that even her own mother didn't think of bringing her food. Instead, it was an outsider who was thinking about her and caring about her.

Zhao Yun had been watching her, and he immediately noticed when she started crying.

He suddenly stood up and took off his T-shirt in two or three seconds.

Ren Jingshu was shocked by his actions, tears hanging on her eyelids, "What are you doing!?" (End of this chapter)
