After dinner, the live broadcast was paused, and Song Yanci did not come back.
Although Shen Tingci didn't say it clearly, her gaze that fell on Song Yanci from time to time drew everyone's attention away.
Jiang Yunxi secretly observed Xu Zizhi, who was gloating about his misfortune. He originally wanted to take Shen Tingci to the study room, but who knew that Sheng He was one step ahead of her this time and tricked Shen Tingci into going to the balcony.
There is a balcony in the public area on the second floor. The balcony extends outwards, and the thoughtful owner has built a small pavilion and a swing on it.
Shen Tingci almost stopped walking the moment she saw the swing, but luckily in the end she remembered that it was a variety show recording and she was with Sheng He, so she gave up the idea.
There are many flowers and plants planted on this small balcony. There is also a large desk on the sliding door next to the window. There are pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table, and green plants and rockeries are placed on both sides, which is somewhat elegant.
There was also a stone table in the pavilion. As soon as Shen Tingci went over and sat down, she touched the tabletop and said, "It's quite suitable for playing mahjong. You said if we play mahjong..."
Sheng He interrupted her: "Then just wait until this show is taken off the shelves."
"Just talking." Shen Tingci looked at this stone table with pity, which was very suitable for use as a mahjong table.
Sheng He's eyelids suddenly jumped. He crossed the stone ridge in front of him in a few steps and walked to sit opposite Shen Tingci: "Did that person send you another message?"
"Who are you talking about?"
After hearing Shen Tingci's words, Sheng He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at her, as if asking: What do you think?
When Shen Tingci saw it, he smiled and said, "I was joking with you, of course I remember."
"It's also thanks to Teacher Sheng, otherwise others would know about it."
Seeing Shen Tingci's smiling face, Sheng He knew in his heart: "Did you and Song Yanci have a conflict over this matter?"
"No."
"You don't have to lie to me." Sheng He said, "When I got up this morning, I happened to meet Song Yanci. He looked at me as if he were looking at an enemy."
"It has nothing to do with you."
"I know it has nothing to do with me, but Song Yanci doesn't necessarily think so. Do you need me to explain it to you?" Sheng He was a rare human being.
It's just that she doesn't really need it.
Shen Tingci shook her head: "No need."
"Between him and me, your reasons are insignificant. What's the use of talking about it." Shen Tingci said lightly, "If nothing happens, I'll go back. I'll sit outside and enjoy the breeze. It's still quite cold."
Sheng He could see that Shen Tingci was completely avoiding this person.
He pondered for a moment and caught up with Shen Tingci in a few steps: "Since I am not the culprit of the quarrel between you and Song Yanci, why not bother Teacher Shen to do me a favor?"
"Teacher Sheng, you probably can't push yourself too far."
"I have a pretty good book, but I'm still missing a female lead."
"Deal." Shen Tingci turned around and smiled without thinking, and shook hands with him coldly, "I'm looking forward to Teacher Sheng's script."
A low smile with unknown meaning emerged from his throat. Just when Shen Tingci thought that this person was sick, Sheng He smiled and tilted his head, motioning for her to turn around and look back.
Shen Tingci blinked and turned his head in confusion.
At the corner of the corridor, a tall figure stood quietly.
The light and shadow from the backlight fell on his body, even his outline was wrapped, but the most shocking thing was the loneliness.
Shen Tingci immediately stood there with cold hands and feet, lowering his eyes blankly, not daring to look at Song Yanci.
In the not-so-bright light, Sheng He stood by her side like a knight, and he was the evil dragon trying to steal the princess.
There was a hint of smile on Sheng He's elegant and handsome eyebrows. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Song Yanci had gotten up from the wall he was leaning on and walked past them with a cold face and without saying a word.
His extremely cold gaze never even stayed on her for a second.
Shen Tingci thought about countless moments between them, and also thought about the moments when they were so unfamiliar and even disgusted with her. However, when such a moment came and saw it with her own eyes, Shen Tingci found that she would still feel uncomfortable.
If she hadn't felt how kind Song Yanci was to her at the beginning, and it was just wishful thinking on her part from the beginning, maybe she wouldn't be able to come out after seven years of absence.
"Shen Tingci." Sheng He didn't expect that just one day later, Song Yanci would change so drastically, with such a cold and decisive attitude. Not to mention Shen Tingci, even Sheng He couldn't bear to see it.
Especially when he brought himself and Xu Yue in, he was already itching to hit them.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Tingci shook his head slightly: "It's okay."
"I'm sorry, I didn't think the problem between you would be so big. I'll solve it right away..."
Before Sheng He could finish his words, Shen Tingci had already grabbed Sheng He's wrist through his sleeve: "Teacher Sheng, you don't have to go."
She still lowered her head and didn't raise her eyes to look at him. Even her voice didn't seem to have changed much. Only by listening carefully could you hear the vibrato in her voice, which was like a kitten's and made people feel distressed.
"Before me and him, it was not your problem. If you go, I'm afraid he will vent his anger on you. It's unnecessary."
"Then what's the problem between you that you can't talk about?"
"Maybe it's an unexplainable problem." Shen Tingci raised her hand and pressed the ends of her eyes with her fingers. After making sure that she had no urge to cry, she raised her head and smiled with watery eyes, "So, don't bother Sheng. Teacher."
Sheng He said nothing and just nodded.
"Okay, if Teacher Sheng is okay, I will go back to the room first. When the person contacts me, I will tell Teacher Sheng."
Sheng He wanted to say no, but Shen Tingci had already let go of his wrist and left quickly with heavy steps.
When he turned around, thinking about how to explain this matter to Song Yanci, he saw Song Yanci leaning against the wall at the end of the corridor, looking down at his phone. After hearing the voice, he looked up casually, eyes But it was an edge and indifference that he had never seen before.
Sheng He knew he was wrong and touched his nose. When he was about to step forward to explain, Song Yanci had lost the careless look he had seen before. He opened the door and went straight in, but he was rejected.
The staff suppressed laughter and still held up the camera to take photos dutifully.
Sheng He looked back at them feeling a little embarrassed: "Hey, remember to pinch me this time, otherwise my reputation will really be gone."
The staff member held up the camera and shook his head, apparently rejecting Sheng He's proposal.
After Shen Tingci returned to the room, she didn't want to stay where there were cameras, so she simply packed up her clothes and went into the bathroom, taking her mobile phone with her.
Water vapor was rising thickly, and Shen Tingci lay in the bathtub with her eyes closed.
But every time I closed my eyes, my mind was filled with the indifferent and determined figure of Song Yanci just now.
It is said online that the person who lets go first has no right to regret.
And she really had no right to regret it.
After all, isn't this what she wants?
As long as she stayed away from them, she could live and die in a clean manner.
