In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Zhao Yun took the initiative to break the silence, "Um, you are not angry with me anymore, right?"
Ren Jingshu sneered: "I wasn't angry at all."
"Then you wouldn't let me go to school with you yesterday."
"It's rare for you to come back to China, and you can't always be with me. You should go out and play with your friends."
After saying that, he casually asked Zhao Yun where he went last night.
Zhao Yun honestly told Wen Bingdong that he was dragged to DK Bar to play last night, but he felt it was boring and left early with Pei Ziheng. When he returned to the hotel, he told him everything about Dong Jiao's visit.
As we chatted, the previous awkwardness was gone.
Today is Saturday and there are no classes at school. Zhao Yun accompanied Ren Jingshu in rehearsal at the dance troupe until the afternoon. The two went to see a movie and went to the famous hutong snack street in the capital in the evening.
In addition to a variety of snacks, the snack street also sells various handicrafts such as pendants, dolls, backpacks, etc.
Zhao Yun bought everything that Ren Jingshu had looked at, and he wished he could move the entire street back to Ren Jingshu.
The love of young people is always so pure and passionate, and they are afraid that what they give is not enough or not good enough.
On the taxi on the way back, Ren Jingshu lowered her eyes and played with the palm-sized teddy bear, her face filled with a rare joy and satisfaction.
Her mother had been strict with her since she was young and did not allow her to play with any toys.
Tonight was the fulfillment of her childhood dream.
Ren Jingshu was immersed in the joy of owning the furry animal, but she didn't realize that the people around her never took their eyes off her.
The hazy night outlines the girl's facial features with a breathtaking beauty.
It felt like a flame was burning in Zhao Yun's chest, burning with desire to find an outlet to vent his anger.
"Jingshu."
"Well, what's wrong?"
Facing her smiling eyes, Zhao Yun finally couldn't muster up the courage to speak out his thoughts, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Go to the dance troupe for rehearsal."
"Aren't there any performances recently?"
Ren Jingshu was silent for a moment, then said, "There's a new Lotus Award dance competition this year, and I want to try it out. I heard the top three will have a chance to join the Central Song and Dance Troupe."
Zhao Yun encouraged: "You will be fine."
"I hope so."
Ren Jingshu looked at him, "When will you return to the team?"
"In a few days."
As they were talking, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the alley where Ren Jingshu rented a house.
Because there were too many things, Ren Jingshu couldn't carry them all by herself, so she had to ask Zhao Yun to help carry them into the house.
After all these years of dating, this was the first time that Zhao Yun saw his girlfriend's boudoir.
The small single room of about twelve or thirteen square meters is filled with a single bed, an old desk, a wardrobe and a clothes rack.
There is warmth in the crowd, and a pleasant faint fragrance in the air.
Zhao Yun was filled with joy and heartache.
He was happy that Ren Jingshu allowed him to step into her private territory, but he also felt sorry for his girlfriend living in such a simple place.
"Are you used to living in such a small room?"
Ren Jingshu poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, saying, "Compared to the dormitory, this place is pretty good."
Zhao Yun looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Although he had never been to the Ren family, he thought that the living conditions of the Ren family would not be that bad. At least, Ren Jingshu was brought up in a pampered manner in the Ren family.
Now I am satisfied with such living environment.
"Or, you can come with me to stay in the hotel."
The words that I had been holding back all night came out of my mouth.
Both of them were stunned.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Zhao Yun was both nervous and expectant.
Ren Jingshu's words undoubtedly made Zhao Yun's inner expectations fall to the ground and break into eight pieces.
"Oh, I'm leaving then?"
Seeing Ren Jingshu nod, he had to get up, put the empty cup back on the desk, and walked out reluctantly.
After coming out of Ren Jingshu's residence, Zhao Yun was filled with depression and melancholy, and couldn't help but take out his phone to call Pei Ziheng.
"Ziheng, you always have a lot of ideas. Can you help me think of a solution?"
"Zhao Yun, has your brain been eaten by a dog? You want to sleep with your girlfriend and you ask me for advice?"
Zhao Yun covered the microphone with his hands as if he was guilty. Seeing that there was no one around, he spoke up, "Don't say such harsh words. What's the point of saying I don't sleep or not? I just, I just..."
"I have the will but not the courage."
Zhao Yun: “…”

This is very to the point.
"Will you help me?"
"No help."
Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Zhao Yun hung up the phone in disappointment and hailed a taxi back to the hotel.
Although he didn't sleep well the night before, Zhao Yun still got up early the next morning and ran to the entrance of the alley to wait for Ren Jingshu.
After Ren Jingshu left, the two went to another nearby breakfast shop to try the specialty snack, soy milk, and then took the bus to the dance troupe.
After entering the rehearsal room, Ren Jingshu threw herself into the rehearsal, warming up while listening to the music to get into the feeling.
For this Lotus Award competition, she plans to choreograph her own dance moves.
The two stayed in the rehearsal room until the evening, and for lunch Zhao Yun went to a nearby restaurant to buy a box lunch.
After Ren Jingshu changed her clothes and came out of the theater, the two of them walked to a nearby restaurant to eat roast duck.
"Are you used to staying in a hotel?"
"I'm used to it. The room environment is pretty good."
Hearing him say this, Ren Jingshu nodded and said nothing more.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, her skin took on a translucent luster.
Zhao Yun realized it belatedly and changed his words in a coy manner: "Actually, I'm not used to it. I don't sleep well at all."
Ren Jingshu turned her head to look at him and said, "Then do you want to live with me? It's just that my place is a little small."
"If you can live here, so can I!"
Ren Jingshu stopped and turned to look at him seriously. "Zhao Yun, have you thought about it? You have a bright future now, but I may be stuck in a small song and dance troupe for the rest of my life, unknown and unable to bring you any help."
Zhao Yun bent down and kissed her on the mouth, using his actions to prove his determination and choice to her.
…
After eating the roast duck, Ren Jingshu accompanied Zhao Yun back to the hotel to check out, and then returned to her residence together.
The single bed could only accommodate one person, so Ren Jingshu made a bed on the floor for Zhao Yun.
A single man and a single woman are in the same room, and they are at a young age full of vigor. It is inevitable that things that should and should not happen will happen.
The moonlight filtered into the house through the thin curtains.
Zhao Yun stared quietly at the sleeping face of the girl beside him, not even willing to blink, for fear that everything in front of him would disappear in the blink of an eye.
What does it feel like to love someone deeply?
Many years later, when someone asked about Zhao Yun, he could still remember that moment clearly.
It's the pounding heart, the strong desire to possess, and the fear of losing.
It seemed like in the blink of an eye, she would disappear.
Finally, the morning light appeared outside the window. Zhao Yun, who had not slept all night, kissed the girl on the forehead, then he carefully got up, put on his clothes and shoes and left.
The moment the door was gently closed, Ren Jingshu, who was lying on the floor, opened her eyes.
She turned her head and watched Zhao Yun's tall shadow leave through the curtains before she turned over, closed her eyes and went back to sleep. (End of this chapter)
