C19 Hesitating

Her fingers brushed across the text on the screen. It was at this moment that Xia Jing truly felt that Lin Xiu was still alive.

It had been five years. He had disappeared from her world for five whole years. She once thought that he was dead. Even when he appeared on television and Song Yi told her that he had returned to the country, she still could not truly feel his existence.

She felt that this person was still very far away, so far away that if she did not look for him, perhaps she would never have anything to do with him in this life.

He still did not exist in her life, even though she was eager to look for him.

But now... She suddenly felt that he was very close to her. He had come to look for her. As long as she replied with the word "Alright," she might be able to see him immediately.

She gripped the phone tightly with her pale fingers. Xia Jing suddenly thought of what Shen Ruo Bai had said earlier.

She frowned slightly.

In fact, Shen Ruo Bai rarely lost his temper. At the very least, in the past five years, he could count the number of times he had truly lost his temper with her fingers. Most of the time, he would give in to her or sulk. He really resisted Lin Xiu, and it was not as simple as being jealous.

Because they had been together for so many years, she knew what it was like for him to be jealous.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Jing put down her phone.

She would pretend that she did not see it. When the time came, she would look for him.

The sun was strong outside, and it was hot. It was not suitable for her to go out on such a day.

Shen Ruo Bai had been keeping her in a pen, so there was no need for Xia Jing to go out. She went to the study room to get a few books, then went to the greenhouse in the backyard.

This greenhouse was specially built for her. It was full of flowers all year round, most of which could not be seen on the market. It was very precious. Xia Jing, on the other hand, did not know much about flowers. She just looked at them and felt more comfortable.

She was a person who didn't like to be lively, but she wasn't lazy either. When she was at odds with Shen Ruo Bai a few times, she felt that she was being raised by him, so she suggested going out to work, but Shen Ruo Bai refused no matter what she said. The reason was that she was still young and not old enough to work.

Of course, Xia Jing didn't agree with this reason, but she couldn't argue with him. Every time she pushed him to the edge, he would buy a bunch of books for her to read and even give her all kinds of test papers to pass the time and say that she was suitable for studying at her age.

Xia Jing could not understand it either. Since he felt that she was still young, why was he still willing to destroy her every night?

However, she did not let him down for his painstaking efforts to buy books for her all year round. She, who was supposed to go to university, had always relied on herself to get a doctorate last year.

The summer was thick, and in the hot weather, the cicadas' noisy voices sounded weak. However, she still knew what was going on and kept shouting.

Xia Jing suddenly closed the book in frustration. She got up to water the flowers in the greenhouse. The temperature in the greenhouse was as hot as spring all year round. No matter how the four seasons changed outside, there was no way to tell at all.

At that time, the sun was shining brightly. The white car had been parked outside the villa for a long time. A refined man stood next to the car and endured the baptism of the scorching sun. He stood there for the entire afternoon.

But she never came.

Not even a cold reply.

Shen Ruo Bai had underestimated Song Yi's influence after all. After the replacement of the spokesperson, the Shen family company had lost several hundred million yuan in succession. Xie Yan's heart ached for the money so much that he almost knelt down to beg Shen Ruo Bai to change to the C-list celebrity Qiao Le Yan and sign another A-list card.

Shen Ruo Bai only replied coldly, "It's not her problem."

Indeed, it was not her problem, let alone the first and third lines. He had only underestimated Song Yi's influence. On the day he broke off the contract, Song Yi naturally would not let him go. He relied on his own fans to fan the flames and set him up a few more times, which led to the current situation.

His answer was light, but when the others heard it, they were very protective. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong. For some reason, the rumors had somehow reached Xia Jing's ears.
