friend
"Take a look at the new manuscript." Lin Jingming handed the latest manuscript to Xia Zhitang.
"The meaning is basically fine, but it still needs to be translated into their spoken expressions." Xia Zhitang opened his schedule, "Any time after next week is fine. I'll arrange a dubbing schedule with everyone first."
"Okay, let's read the script a few more times to get familiar with it. Let each person have more time. This kind of first-person amateur script needs to be natural, so it takes more time to guide and polish it." Lin Jingming informed his assistant to leave a message to arrange the trip to Yunnan Province for the recording.
Xia Zhitang communicated via WeChat and phone simultaneously, and spent a whole day working out a rough schedule.
"Let's go. I'll take you home." Lin Jingming came over to Xia Zhitang with a bag of books. "I'll give you the books by the way."
"I'm going to the South District to have dinner with my friends." Xia Zhitang reached out to take the book from Lin Jingming's hand, "Give me the book."
"That friend at the hospital?" Lin Jingming slapped her hand away. "Who knows how long it'll take to get a taxi now. I'm free right now, so giving you a ride will definitely be faster than taking a taxi."
Xia Zhitang hesitated for a moment and left a message to his friend to tell him about the situation.
"If you are free, come together." Xia Zhitang's friend said excitedly that he wanted to meet Lin Jingming.
When Xia Zhitang got on the passenger seat of Lin Jingming, a telephoto camera was pointed at them and the shutter was pressed behind the dark window film of a black car behind them.
When Xia Zhitang led Lin Jingming into a Chinese restaurant, Wang Jiajia and her boyfriend had already arrived.
The man in black, carrying a bag of lenses, walked around the restaurant pretending to look for someone and then left.
In the evening, Gu Zian looked at the photo with a grim face, showing Xia Zhitang getting into Lin Jingming's car, and the four of them eating by the window.
His expression didn't ease until he saw the photo of Xia Zhitang walking with Wang Jiajia and the others.
"Based on our observations over the past few days, Miss Xia is currently living with her doctor friend." The man in black who had followed Xia Zhitang for a few days handed Xia Zhitang's schedule to Gu Zian.
"Where's Lin Jingming?" Gu Zian took a look and saw that Xia Zhitang went to work and came home normally every day except for the time when he took Lin Jingming out for dinner.
"Ms. Xia usually takes a taxi to and from work, and Lin Jingming occasionally drives her there. Their working hours are not necessarily the same." The man in black circled the times when Xia Zhitang and Lin Jingming had overlapping schedules.
Gu Zian nodded: "Send me her current address."
"Lin Jingming, why am I not on the list of people going to Yun Province!" Xia Zhitang threw the list of staff leaving for Yun Province onto Lin Jingming's desk with a bad look.
"I was just about to discuss with you that you take care of the post-production editing in Taipei, and I'll go to Yunnan Province to record the video." Lin Jingming's computer screen froze on the aerial photography of the rainbow halo taken by Xia Zhitang.
"Why am I staring at you when the manuscript hasn't even been finalized?" Xia Zhitang smiled and grabbed Lin Jingming's collar. "I'm in good health. There's no need to treat me like a porcelain doll."
"Does the prenatal checkup schedule conflict?" Lin Jingming knew she was angry. "Wang Jiajia agreed to your running like this?"
"Pregnancy checkups happen once a month, and who around her isn't saving lives and healing the wounded while carrying a big belly?"
Rather than staying at home and resting, Xia Zhitang would rather create the works he likes as long as his body allows.
"Okay, go ahead if you can handle it." Lin Jingming secretly cursed his assistant for sending the list directly to the group without informing him first.
"Didn't you delete my name on purpose?" Xia Zhitang still grabbed Lin Jingming's collar.
"How dare I? Auntie, am I that kind of person?" Lin Jingming resolutely put the blame on his assistant. "This is a preliminary plan, he's waiting for my approval!"
"Don't even think about getting rid of me!" Xia Zhitang expressed his attitude firmly before letting him go.
"No way, I wish you would stick to me!" Lin Jingming expressed his clear attitude seriously.
"Smooth talk." Xia Zhitang rolled his eyes and pushed open the glass door of Lin Jingming's office with the list booklet in hand.
"I'm expressing my true feelings." Lin Jingming shouted at her back.
As the door closed, Lin Jingming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He did want to persuade Xia Zhitang to stay in Taipei, but unfortunately he didn't do it properly.
Lin Jingming opened a pregnancy app and checked the precautions, wondering what he would do if Xia Zhitang really fell out with Gu Zian.
The elevator door opened with a ding dong, and Xia Zhitang walked out with his head down, holding a bag of fruits and vegetables.
When she looked up, she saw Gu Zian wearing a black sportswear, a mask and a hat, and her heart was beating fast with fear.
"How did you find this place?" Xia Zhitang looked at Gu Zian's expression, wondering if he knew that she was pregnant.
Honestly, she wasn't ready to confess to him yet.
"Don't leave me." Gu Zian stepped forward and hugged Xia Zhitang.
Xia Zhitang was knocked back a step and subconsciously protected her stomach, and the fruits and vegetables in her arms fell to the ground.
"I've blocked Tang Ning. The password to her phone is your birthday. You can check her schedule at will..." Gu Zian buried his face in Xia Zhitang's shoulder, "I'll never be jealous again."
His voice gradually softened: "Come back, okay?"
"Zi'an, have you ever thought about why you like me?" Xia Zhitang asked with some difficulty. Once she realized something, she couldn't convince herself to ignore it.
In the dead of night, she would occasionally wake from her dreams and, under the desk lamp, gather her chaotic thoughts and complex emotions into words. When she was tired of writing and had vented her emotions, she would fall into a deep sleep under the urging of hormones.
"Sister, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you." Gu Zian wanted to pour out his true heart and show it to Xia Zhitang.
"I believe your feelings for me are real, but sometimes love doesn't make it suitable to be together for a long time." Xia Zhitang knew that Gu Zian might not understand what she meant, but she still said it.
"Sister, are you in love with Lin Jingming?" Apart from this number one rival in love, Gu Zian could not think of any other reason.
"No, it has nothing to do with him." Xia Zhitang denied without hesitation, "Have you ever heard of this saying? It's easy to fall in love, but hard to get along with each other."
"We have been together for two and a half years." Gu Zian felt that although there were people with bad intentions around them, everyone had stuck to the bottom line, which was a very important thing.
But now that I'm pregnant, we're going to have to deal with more than just our relationship issues...
Xia Zhitang was silent. She didn't want to tell Gu Zian the news yet.
"Come home with me, okay? Qingluan missed you." Gu Zian gently kissed Xia Zhitang's neck. "You didn't even bring your car keys."
"I'm going to Feiyun Province tomorrow." Xia Zhitang closed his eyes and forced back the tears. "I'll come back to Beicheng next week and I'll find you then."
"Can you come back with me to pack up now? You didn't bring anything with you." Gu Zian planned to coax the person back first.
Xia Zhitang was thinking about how to refuse when the elevator behind him dinged.
Wang Jiajia looked at the fruits and vegetables scattered on the floor and the two people huddled together in the elevator lobby with a look of surprise: "No, are you two acting out an idol drama here?"
She pointed at the camera and said, "Are you not afraid of being on the trending search list tomorrow? I don't want paparazzi blocking my door tomorrow!"
"Come in first." Xia Zhitang pushed Gu Zian away and squatted down to pick up vegetables and fruits.
Gu Zian quickly squatted down and rushed to do the work. Wang Jiajia raised her eyebrows and looked Gu Zian up and down.
She looks really good, with great genes, Tangzi won’t lose out at all!
Xia Zhitang waited for a long time before her best friend finally looked over. She winked at her while picking up things.
Wang Jiajia rolled her eyes at her.
"Don't just stand there, come in and talk." Wang Jiajia took out her key and opened the door. "Remember to change your shoes."
"Hello, I'm Gu Zian. Thank you for taking care of me these days, Tangtang." Gu Zian picked up the bag and took Xia Zhitang's hand and Wang Jiajia's hand to express his gratitude.
"Don't talk about taking care of me or not. We have known each other for twenty years and have been like sisters for a long time." Wang Jiajia poured a glass of water and handed it to Gu Zian.
"Thank you." Gu Zian stood up and took the water cup with both hands, then took out a business card with a black background and gold edges from his pocket and handed it over.
"If you need anything, you can call this number and just say my name." Wang Jiajia took the business card and glanced at the words on it.
Wow, that's a good offer! It's just a bit too hot-headed, and the ambition is really high.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I just want to be a salted fish." Wang Jiajia handed the business card to Xia Zhitang, "Tangzi's will be mine, you keep it."
Xia Zhitang took the card. She had no idea about the organization on it, but she expected it to be a very generous one.
"Okay, I don't want to get involved in your affairs, but Tangzi can't leave tonight." Wang Jiajia simply took out her phone and waved it in front of Gu Zian. "She's going home with me for dinner tonight. My parents haven't seen her in a long time, and they already agreed to get together tonight."
"I'll pick you up after dinner?" Gu Zian turned to Xia Zhitang and said.
"I'll stay there directly. It's close to the airport and it will be more convenient for me to leave tomorrow." Xia Zhitang looked at Gu Zian's face and felt a little dizzy and wanted to kiss him.
"I don't have any announcements recently, so I can take you there early in the morning." Gu Zian insisted.
"Okay, I'll give you 15 minutes to get bored." Wang Jiajia checked the time on her phone and ruthlessly interrupted them. "First come, first served. The person I made the appointment with first set the itinerary. If you're not sure, you can come together, but I won't let you go."
Gu Zian frowned and looked at Wang Jiajia, and she looked back at him unwillingly.
Xia Zhitang pulled Gu Zian's hand and whispered in his ear, "Jia Jia's parents treat me like their own daughter and help me a lot."
Gu Zian nodded slowly: "Sister, wait for me for 15 minutes. I'll go downstairs to buy some things and go with you later."
After he left, Wang Jiajia jumped up and shook Xia Zhitang's shoulders. "Oh my god, he actually knew I was a doctor! I wonder how valuable his business card is! I only reluctantly refused because of our long-standing friendship!"
She cried and took the card from Xia Zhitang's pocket: "Let me absorb the magic of this card again!"
