(1) The second week of Beijing
Exceptionally qualified for the "Perfect Love" International Wedding Dress Competition, early the next morning, Jin Shuxian really received a call from the contact person from the co-organizer of the competition, Dai Diamond International Jewelry Collection. To her surprise, they sent out Dared's No. 1 secretary, Maureen.
"Your company doesn't have enough manpower to get to this point?" Seeing Maureen, she greeted her, and after the politeness was over, Shuxian sighed. This comment with low emotional intelligence made Miss Mo smile awkwardly.
After that, the conversation between the two quickly turned to the point, and Maureen very professionally proposed a series of packaging to make Shuxian a star designer, and made a list of needs. The two had a slight disagreement on the scale and method of personal packaging, Jin Shuxian, who is used to doing things in a low-key manner, has never been too interested in media publicity such as being on TV and doing interviews, while Maureen insists on packaging and promoting her in an all-round way from various media. In the end, it was Maureen who listed the pros and cons from factors such as the success rate of the competition and the development prospects of the "Shuxiang Mendi" studio, persuaded Shuxian, and set a rough plan.
By the time the day's preparations and team meetings were over, the sky was already glowing red. Sending off Maureen, Jin Shuxian took Xiao Wei and Mengmeng to the "East Eighth Time Zone" Western restaurant for a meal and a break, and the three of them enthusiastically discussed the wedding dress making plan and techniques for this competition, and finally, inevitably chatted about Minxiang's body and the one million expenses that needed to be raised.
"I don't know when the prize money for this competition will be in place......" From the elation just now to the gloom at this moment, Mengmeng's expression changed only for a moment.
"The wedding dress was given a month, and after it was completed, the program team needed two weeks to prepare for the show, so the selection results would not come out until six weeks at the earliest. Not to mention whether you can win the prize, even if you are lucky enough to win the prize, it is estimated that it will take three months for the prize to be in place at the earliest. Shuxian responded with a solemn face, or said to herself, "With Minxiang's current condition, she can't wait that long." ”
"But where are we going to get together so much money? a million, I've never seen so much money in my life. Xiao Wei couldn't help but sigh.
"Let me figure it out. I couldn't bear to let the two young girls bear such a big psychological burden, Shuxian took the initiative to resist all the responsibility, "Everyone went all out to cooperate with me to make this 'perfect love' wedding dress that matched the 'Angel Heart', as for the million, let me figure it out." ”
Having said that, Jin Shuxian still clearly understands that there are really not many ways that can be thought of at present. Not to mention that he spent almost all his savings to study in the United States for two years, and his parents who contributed to the motherland in the northwest are not big families, and they like to donate money as soon as they have money to help build Hope Primary School...... Not to mention a million, it's 100,000 yuan, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for parents and adults to come up with it. A few of her best friends, Lan Xinzi, who is the most wealthy, has no news at the moment, and Suzune is still running around day and night to make money, and Shuxian can't bear to open up to her. After thinking about it for a long time, in the end, Shuxian decided to try her luck at the lending company.
So, early the next morning, Jin Shuxian searched on the Internet and found a lending company based in Jianwai SOHO on the Middle Road of the East Third Ring Road, and their homepage suddenly read: unsecured, unsecured, the maximum loan can reach 1 million, guaranteed to be disbursed within three days, 100% cash withdrawal, etc. With such relaxed conditions, just matching the amount of demand and such a fast loan speed, Shuxian felt that she had to come to the door to try it, so she brought her passport, ID card, all kinds of award photos and web pages that could be found, as well as personal resumes and so on...... I was nervous and headed towards my destination.
As soon as I walked into the rustic lending company that was renovated, I saw the four big golden words "King of Loans" next to the company's plaque. There was no reception from the front desk lady, but as soon as the person walked into the office area, the only forty-year-old uncle who was idle put down the gaiwan tea in his hand, shook his face, waved his dark hand, and beckoned Jin Shuxian to come over.
The girl sat down nervously, looked up and pulled out a stiff smile on the mouth of the borrowed uncle, pulling two sausages.
"Excuse me...... Is it possible to borrow money here?" asked Shuxian cautiously.
"Actually, this is a place to sell Lanzhou ramen—cut!" The uncle slammed the table, and suddenly changed from a smirk to a fierce look, "Are you blind? Dou Da can't see the words 'king of loans' clearly? Haven't you graduated from kindergarten? People with such a low level of education, we don't do your business, let's go!"
"No, uncle, I'm really here to borrow money. Shuxian was a little panicked and hurriedly put all the personal information on the table.
"Oh, I'm still a graduate student in the United States, that's good. The uncle took Jin Shuxian's passport and proof of study and looked at her again and again, and then looked her up and down, "I should have pretended to be a high-achieving student a long time ago, what kind of illiterate should I pretend to be? The uncle took out a forty-page thick form from the drawer and threw it to her, which not only asked about the eight generations of Shuxian's ancestors, but also included nonsensical questionnaires such as personality tests.
After stumbling with those questionnaires for an hour to complete them, Shuxian presented them to the office desk of the borrowing uncle.
The uncle finally tightened the gaiwan tea in his hand and asked, "Tell me, why do you want to borrow money?"
Shuxian sighed: "Actually, I was forced to be helpless, the reason is simple, it is ......"
"Stomach (wait) ——" the uncle interrupted the girl's statement, "don't talk yet—let me guess—is it that my mother has no money to repay the loan shark?"
"It's not. ”
"Then it must be that Dad has lost public funds to fill in the account?"
"It's not ...... either"
"Oh, I know, you shopaholic bad girl maxed out your card, right?
"No......"
"Damn, the top three of the Dragon and Tiger list for borrowing money are not hit, what the hell is it?!"
"It's for my good friend. When she was in college, she started a studio with me, worked together, and was a very talented and very lovely girl - she had blood cancer, needed treatment, and needed a bone marrow transplant. The whole treatment process requires a million medical bills, and I borrowed money for this ......."
"I see. The uncle closed all her information and asked, "Do you have a regular source of income?"
"Nope. ”
"Do you have fixed assets to pledge?"
"Yes, yes, but the house is now being taken care of by my relatives, and it is not convenient for me to mortgage it. ”
"Reject!"
"Wait!!" This time it was Jin Shuxian's turn to slap the desk angrily, and she stood up excitedly, attracting a sideways glance, "Uncle! Didn't your company say that you can borrow money without collateral or guarantee? In any industry, the customer is supreme, isn't it written like that?—— the customer is God! How can you deceive a customer as great as God?"
"Does anyone still believe in advertising these days? The uncle glanced at her with disdain, and there was immediately a chorus of mockery around her.
Seeing that the hard set was completely useless, Shuxian had a flash of inspiration, and immediately put her hands under her chin, trying to squeeze out some tears in her eyes. She asked pitifully, "Uncle, do you have a daughter?"
"There is one. ”
"Have you ever thought that you have pulled your daughter up with a handful of and urine since you were a child, and you have to eat and sleep with her every day, play with her, and worry about her being bullied by boys all day long, not letting her watch TV, and helping her with her homework. Finally, my daughter grew up to be sensible -- but! One day, there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day! She actually got such a strict disease, and you close your eyes and think about it, how distressed you will be? How sad will you be? Will you be willing to leave her alone and not raise money for her medical treatment? Who dares not to lend you money?......
Before Shuxian finished speaking, she was knocked on the head by the uncle - "You dead girl, don't curse my daughter!"
"Uncle...... In order to heal the suffering people in this world, use the money for the most virtuous things, you lend me money is the bodhisattva's heart, this is simply the most touching good people and good deeds of contemporary times...... "Shuxian said all the good things, and she was really about to cry.
"Alright...... Drum dog (goodgirl), I didn't lend you money for your own good...... You go out for another lap, think of a way, and find a friend to borrow it. I really can't do it, come back to me in a week. The uncle's eyes finally softened a lot, and he said it hintly.
"Uncle......
"Okay, you can take a copy of these materials, if you really want to borrow money to get some houses and cars to mortgage, it is still possible. The uncle stuffed the loan manual into Shuxian's hand, turned his head to pick up his gaiwan tea, stopped looking at her, and threw out the last sentence of the expulsion, "The white of the drum (goodbye), don't send it." ”
Walking out of the lending company dejectedly, all the way in a trance, Jin Shuxian lowered her head and pressed the button indicating the elevator to go downstairs, walked into the elevator room with her head down, and then walked out of the building with her head down. If it weren't for the male voice that stimulated her nerves from the front, it is estimated that she would have walked to the subway station with her head down, and then walked back to the studio in the 798 Creative Park with her head down to reflect.
However, there was a voice that greeted him: "Jin Shuxian, why don't you stay in the studio and make your wedding dress, what are you doing here?"
You don't have to look up to know that it's the man who is so domineering that he is completely unreasonable, and meeting him in a low-mood stall can be described as adding insult to injury...... Shuxian frowned unconsciously, pursed her mouth, and raised her head. Standing in front of him was indeed Mr. Polar Bear Dai Ruide, and standing next to him was Zhao Xinrui, who was carefully groomed and put on a smile.
"Of course, there is something to come, a private matter. ”
"The most important thing now should be to play and not let down the expectations of you. ”
"You know, you gave a one-month time limit, and today is only the next day, don't worry...... Besides, I also have the right to use my own time during the competition?"
Before Dai Ruide could answer, Zhao Xinrui's eyes were sharp, and he aimed at the loan manual that Shuxian was holding in his hand.
"Are you looking for a loan company to borrow money? Shuxian!~" Zhao Xinrui deliberately said in a surprised tone, "God, you won't even be so poor that you don't even have the cost of materials for making wedding dresses, right?" I said, Xiao D, your company can't be too picky about sponsoring competitions, you have to fund a difficult household like Miss Jin." ”
"You need money?" Dai Ruide frowned slightly, "Why don't you ask Maureen for a request, no matter what you need, she will help you prepare." ”
"No, it's not about the game. I'll get the wedding dress and won't mess up your game. Say no more, bye-bye. There were a bunch of things to worry about in her head, and she didn't have the heart to entangle with them at all, Jin Shuxian dropped her words, walked around them, and continued to bury her head in her path.
At the moment when she passed by, Dai Ruide was about to reach out to stop her, but Zhao Xinrui pulled his arm with one hand and reminded in a coquettish voice: "Xiao D, Mr. Tang is still waiting upstairs for us to negotiate the contract, such an important deal, I really can't let them wait too long." ”
This small detail was seen by Shuxian, and for some reason, her heart tightened uncontrollably for a second. Soon, she ignored this physical discomfort and continued to think about money.
Dai Ruide did not respond to Zhao Xinrui's urging, but he did not take another step forward, he looked at Jin Shuxian's back as she gradually walked away, revealing a thoughtful expression. This made Xin Rui, who was standing next to her, feel a little unhappy again, she added: "I remember that there is indeed a loan company in this building, and what about a loan company with a bad reputation...... It's really worrying. This girl doesn't have any special background, right? It's very likely that she borrowed a loan shark and was being collected for her debts...... Speaking of which, this world is really dangerous, you don't know your heart, you really need to be careful when making friends. ”
"Let's go. He didn't respond positively to Zhao Xinrui's comment, but quietly got rid of her pulled arm and walked towards the building.
At half past seven, the evening glow had just fallen, and the lights began to flicker on the buildings, most of the small courtyards and streets in the 798 Creative Park. As is customary, the windows are completely open, only the door is ajar, Xiao Wei and Mengmeng go out to dinner, at this time, the world in the attic in the corner of the D area is always so quiet as if time has stopped. Not many people know about this place, and even if they do, they have to spend time exploring the secret staircase entrance, which is why Kim Shuxian and Min Hyang chose this place as their studio, peaceful, quiet, and secluded.
Therefore, when there was a slight sound of footsteps at the door, Shuxian's first reaction was that Xiao Wei and Mengmeng were back - Shuxian, who was immersed in the system, didn't want to go out to eat and interrupt her work rhythm, so she asked the two girls to bring a bento for herself after dinner as dinner.
"Coming back?" she asked, without looking up, greeting.
"You should say, 'You're here,' right?" replied the visitor.
As soon as she heard this voice, Jin Shuxian immediately habitually frowned, pursed her mouth, and turned her face: "What are you doing here?"
"As the owner of the sponsor company, of course I have the right to check the post. With a tone of course, Dai Ruide put up his hands and unconsciously put on a boss shelf.
"It's because you're the sponsor owner that I'm worried. Jin Shuxian put down the pin in her hand, spoke earnestly, and pretended to admonish, "As the chairman of Daizuan International, shouldn't you learn from the chairman of other groups, focus on strategy, deal with big things, put on a shelf of great opportunities, and give shareholders of all sizes a little more confidence......?
Before she could finish speaking, Dai Ruide laughed: "You also realize that I am the chairman of Dai Diamond International, and it is good to understand that I am worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a second, hum." One of the advantages of being the chairman of the board of directors is that you can choose to do what you want to do, including checking the unreliable wedding dress contestants from time to time. I said, "You don't have confidence in yourself when you talk about yourself so pitifully?" If you don't have confidence, you should quit the game early and don't waste your time. ”
Hearing the above words, Shuxian's self-esteem was stimulated again, thinking that it was really incompatible with this Dai Dagongzi, and the six were against each other, and what was even more annoying was that his ability to scold people without dirty words really had a fight with himself. Of course, Shuxian retorted: "Yes, every second, hundreds of thousands of Mr. Chairman come to check the post, should I show gratitude to the point of crying? Funny—— Who said that I don't have confidence in myself? If I don't have confidence, will I still spend time trying to qualify? Don't you know what 'self-deprecation' is? You really don't have a sense of humor!"
"I don't have a sense of humor? When I was in college, everyone called me partyboy because I was the funniest joke I told. ”
As soon as Dai Ruide's words came out, Jin Shuxian was immediately stunned, staring at his cold face for a long time, and then as if she had returned from a Martian fugue, she suddenly burst into laughter - this is indeed the funniest joke she has heard this year!
The girl kept laughing, and the man finally couldn't help but interrupt and tried to turn the topic to the purpose of his trip - "Don't laugh, I say, are you short of money?"
It's a pity that the chick's laughter has been completely poked, and she doesn't care about his question at all, she just can't stop laughing.
Dai Ruide stared at her for a full ten seconds, and seeing that she had no intention of stopping, he finally couldn't help but get closer, grabbed her arms, and asked word by word, "Are you, yes, no, very, lack of money?"
"I'm short of money, so I'm going to race. ”
"I promised Harry to take good care of you, if you lack money you have to sue me, you know I can help you. ”
"You've done me a great favor, you've given me a chance to compete. Shuxian smiled crookedly and looked back at him seriously, "Thank you, Pai duì boy diamond! This nickname is so easy to pronounce, it really suits you!" After saying this, Shuxian, who had a very low laugh, giggled again.
"I'm leaving!" Faced with the girl who had caused him to suffer from communication barriers every time, Dared turned away speechlessly.
Soon, apart from Kim Shuxian's gradually ceaseless laughter, there was only calm left in the studio.
Hastily ate the chicken leg dinner brought back by Xiao Wei and Mengmeng, Shuxian returned to a state of hard work, and time passed little by little unconsciously. The lights outside the window began to gradually go out, and in order to prevent the night dew from falling, Xiao Wei and Mengmeng closed all the windows, and then they said goodnight goodbye to Shuxian and left the studio together.
Jin Shuxian is still building and adjusting the details of the very important lining structure, which is not a simple job, even if she stays up all night with the lights on, she may not be able to finish it, so she needs to keep doing and adjusting.
The clock finally skipped two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the slightly sore shoulder turned on the indicator light for the hostess, and she stabbed her left index finger in a distraction, and the sharp pain finally brought her back to reality from the state of work. In desperation, she climbed up and down the ground to look for a band-aid, but to no avail, she knocked over the water glass placed on the edge of the table, causing debris to be scattered on the ground, orange juice overflowing, and a mess.
"Isn't it......" Shuxian let out a wail when she saw the flowing water stains begin to flow and pollute the clothes and objects around her......
Hurriedly rescued the clothes aside, and the second thing was to clean up the affected handbag, Jin Shuxian's eyes fell on the "loan manual" placed next to the handbag at this time, and her mood also fell to the bottom at this moment.
Are you short of money?——
The question that came to mind just now......
No, no. Shuxian shook her head, trying to shake off the serious expression of the man in her mind.
No matter how many times he asked, she couldn't ask for his help, the game had already caused him trouble, and he had been taken care of after being drunk before, how could he ask for more again and again? They were just friends who had only known each other for less than two weeks......
However, the one million medical expenses related to Min Xiang's life and death are indeed clueless, and the "perfect love" wedding dress with a sophisticated and complex structure also needs to invest a lot of energy and time to make zuò, as well as the clumsy self who broke the water cup and pierced his fingers, which made Jin Shuxian a little confused at this moment. She sighed and reached out to pick up the shards of glass scattered on the ground, when a tall figure suddenly leaned down behind her and removed the debris before her fingers could touch the shards.
"Be careful, let me do this dangerous work. ”——
Turning her face, Jin Shuxian suddenly met Cai Zhiheng's concerned expression...... A stone's throw away.
"Wow-wow, wow——!!!——" Shuxian shot a long way away, like that, she looked scared.
"It's me, Harry......" Seeing Shuxian's ghost-like appearance, Zhiheng's little self-esteem was slightly stimulated, revealing a pitiful expression like a wounded puppy, "I've been sending you messages since the afternoon, and I haven't received a reply, and suddenly I'm so worried, so I found it all the way here......"
"I'm such an adult, why do you need to worry? I don't have a habit of looking at my phone when I'm working. It's the middle of the night...... Appearing here at two o'clock in the middle of the night, isn't it scary?—— and besides, didn't you say that you should keep a distance of two steps?!" Shuxian pouted again.
"I'm worried in the middle of the night...... You see, you don't just need my help. Zhiheng sighed, pointed to the rattan chair not far away and said, "You go over there and sit down and rest, and I'll clean it up here." With that, he began to clean the glass shards from the ground and wipe away the splashing water stains.
After a while, Cai Zhiheng cleaned up the scene where Xiao Nizi messed up, and Jin Shuxian, who was standing aside and trying to help clean up, also calmed down.
"I'll take you home, it's time to sleep, or you won't have the energy to continue working tomorrow." He straightened up and built yì.
"No need to send it, I'll go back myself. Shuxian rubbed her temples and habitually refused.
"It's already half past two...... Zhiheng glanced at his phone, and sighed again, "At this point in time, do you think I will rest assured that I will let you go home alone?—— today, just listen to me once." He insisted.
On this physically and mentally exhausted day, Shuxian didn't have the strength to support her unreasonable self-esteem, she obediently picked up her handbag, followed Jihyung's footsteps and walked out, closing the door of the studio.
The starry sky in Beijing tonight is quite clear, at least the moon is full of shape, and gently emits a soft light, echoing with the few stars, illuminating the pair walking in the night.
"For as long as I can remember, we always walked like this. Someone has to break the silence, so Cai Zhiheng took the lead in speaking, "Really...... Super happy. ”
"Is it super fun to walk? Then you can be happy really easily, and you can be happy at any time. ”
"I actually mean ...... Always walking behind you, just like Tom and Jerry (from the names of the two main characters in the cartoon Cat and Mouse). Now, I can at least walk parallel with you. ”
"Oh, yes, you reminded me to stay two steps away, Jerry. ”
"Shuxian ......"
It was supposed to be a light-hearted and funny conversation, but Shuxian couldn't laugh. She quickened her pace and walked forward, her mind still full of all kinds of pressures and thoughts.
When the distance between the two began to gradually widen again, Zhiheng suddenly grabbed her handbag and asked, "You always rush forward like this, won't you get tired?"
This question really asked Jin Shuxian. She was tempted to reply, "No." But the words were blocked in his throat. She looked up at Ji-hyung's face, but her eyes were drawn to the moon hanging high behind him.
"It turns out that the moon in Beijing can be so bright. She said.
Zhiheng turned his head, followed her eyes and glanced up at the moon, then looked back at her, sat down slowly, and lay on the floor in the middle of the road: "Shuxian, try to appreciate the moon in this way, it will be more beautiful." ”
Kim Shuxian stared at this very nonsensical scene - Jihyung lying on his back in the middle of the road...... After looking around left and right again, he hesitated, but still lay down.
Exhaled, and the moment she lay down, she finally felt the only moment of the day in a state of complete relaxation, perhaps because the moon in the sky was so charming when viewed from this angle. She smiled.
"Shuxian, do you like the moon in Beijing or the moon in Los Angeles?"
The moon in Los Angeles ?—— Shuxian's thoughts immediately flew back to the days in Los Angeles. She always likes to pick a weekend and drive from Los Angeles to San Diego in the morning, spend the afternoon wandering the streets, gardens, and churches of a small Spanish town, or lie on the beach with a big-brimmed hat to bask in the sun, read a book, and observe strangers passing by. When night came, she would open the canopy of her car and drive back to Los Angeles in the sea breeze, and the most beautiful scenery on the Pacific Coast Highway was the reflection of the moon in the sky and the moon in the sea......
"I prefer the moon in Los Angeles. She replied.
"Me too. He chimed in, adding, "I really want to go back to Los Angeles with you, I don't like to see you carrying so much burden and so much pressure here." ”
"Harry......" she turned her face to the side, and stopped talking.
"You don't have to say it again. I know your heart isn't ready for me. But it doesn't matter, liking you is my problem. He also turned his face sideways and looked gently at her softened eyes. She looked into his eyes, obviously pondering, this picture was far more beautiful than the moonlight in the sky, so he couldn't help but use his hand to stroke a messy strand of hair on her cheeks, and when the action was completed, he laughed: "You see, we are so close now, and you don't have an allergic reaction because of me." ”
Her heart was touched. Maybe it's because some self-questions and answers that happen in my heart can't explain whether it is suddenly or imperceptibly for a period of time, in short, the allergic reaction to Cai Zhiheng is indeed gradually disappearing, disappearing for unknown reasons......
She still didn't answer, and lowered her eyelids quietly. In that way, he suddenly gave Ji-hyung great courage, and he finally decided to let go of his worries at this moment and move with his heart—just like that, gently and naturally...... kissed her on the lips.
It's not a lingering kiss, it's just the softest touch between the lips, gentle and long, so that time stops as if it were a century. Her slightly curly hair was blown by the summer night breeze, brushing his snort, and the whole world was left with the fragrance of the first orange on her body, and Ji Heng closed his eyes unconsciously......
Didn't understand what was going on at all.
When he kissed her on the lips, coincidentally, she was thinking about the fact that the symptoms of "Ultimate Love Terminality" had failed in him, and as a verification, when he kissed her on the lips, the end of the world really did not come as scheduled. Staring at his face with his eyes closed, Shuxian became puzzled......
Finally, after one last fine light peck, the perfect kiss finally came to an end.
Cai Zhiheng slowly opened his eyes, nervously preparing to face Jin Shuxian's next very likely outrage...... But it didn't happen.
She turned quietly and stood up, and walked briskly forward on her own.
He immediately chased after her, and this time, instead of pulling the handbag, he grabbed her arm.
"You have to remember to keep ...... two steps away"
Shuxian's reminder hadn't been fully uttered, and Jihyung had already pulled her over and kissed her on the lips again.
This is no longer a tentative kiss, it has a bit of certainty, and a long-deposited love, pouring out all of Ji-hyung's feelings. His hands swept up her back, his fingers slid into her fine hair, and he held up her slender neck and her tight, heavy kisses, and when his tongue poked into her mouth in a panic, she felt only a wave of dizziness—
"Shuxian ——?!" Jihyung's nervous cry was her only memory of the last moment, and then the world fell into darkness......
Jin Shuxian fainted like this.
When I woke up again, it was starting to light up slightly outside. Judging from the washed red cross logo on the white single sheets and the drip bag hanging above the head, you can clearly see that this is a hospital. Coupled with Cai Zhiheng, who was lying next to him and fell into a deep sleep, the time, place, and characters were all clearly understood.
The moment I just woke up, my first reaction was, of course, to be angry. Recalling what had just happened, Jin Shuxian frowned and seriously considered wrapping the man with a sheet and beating him violently, but looking at the more innocent and innocent appearance of Cai Zhiheng lying next to him when he was asleep, the mood of wanting to ask the teacher for guilt gradually subsided inexplicably.
Feeling her turn over slightly, Jihyung slowly opened his eyes—the first glance met her angry and frowning expression.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry——!" Before Jin Shuxian could open her mouth, Cai Zhiheng folded his hands and raised them in surrender, "I didn't mean to cause you to enter the hospital...... I just can't help it. ”
"What did I say to you before? In order to avoid triggering my 'male allergy,' we need to minimize our contact as much as possible. There can be no social, polite, necessary and unnecessary contact, and once you cross the line, you will immediately terminate the 'fake boyfriend and girlfriend' relationship, and ignore you again. All the terms are written in a notebook, and you still have to sign them! How can you cross the line?"
"I'm sorry, but...... Shuxian, you can punish me or ignore me, but I didn't want to be your fake boyfriend, I wanted to be by your side with dignity. Finally, Jihyung mustered up the greatest courage, and he decided to make a thorough confession, "From the first time I met you at a school party, I knew that the girl I had been looking for was you." Whether it's the way you read quietly in the library, the way you can eat three burgers in one go, or the way you drive bravely, I like it, even if you have 'male allergies' and can't let me get close, it doesn't matter if you refuse me over and over again, I know that true love is hard to get, so even if you go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, as long as you can be by your side in the end, everything is worth it. I just hope that you can give me a chance to pick up the pieces for you when you knock over your teacup, to testify for you when you need to win a bet, to send you home while you're still in the studio at 2 o'clock in the night, but I won't end you up in the hospital next time......"
Jin Shuxian exhaled and smiled helplessly: "You are like Sun Wukong, it's boring." What do you say about guarding or not guarding, aren't you already by my side now?"
Cai Zhiheng blinked in confusion: "Shuxian, what do you mean ......?"
"If my allergies can't be cured, there's no way I can give happiness to any man. We made the 'fake boyfriend and girlfriend code of conduct' contract to restrict contact because I hated you, but because I didn't want to have a recurrence. If one day I'm really ready to give my lover happiness, I'll let you know, but for now...... Please give me a little more time. ”
Looking at the eyes that looked particularly deep in the faint morning light, Zhiheng smiled and nodded.
For the next few days, Shuxian would go to a lending company every morning to try to borrow money, and then return to the studio in despair after failing to quickly switch to work, straightening up until the early hours of the morning.
As for Cai Zhiheng, who said that he was like Sun Wukong, he naturally intensified his efforts and vowed to carry out the "protection" to the end, except for bringing all kinds of takeaway meals to Shuxian every once in a while, making Shuxian look like a seriously ill patient. also came to "escort" Shuxian home late every night. Speaking of which, Jin Shuxian really got used to it after treating his frequent appearances as an unavoidable thing in life.
This Thursday afternoon, Jin Shuxian and Xiao Wei found a free time to visit Minxiang together. When she walked into the ward, Minxiang was sleeping with her eyes closed, so Shuxian put down the condolences in her hand and went to the doctor's office to inquire about her friend's condition.
"Again, Jian yì did the operation. The doctor habitually pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said earnestly, "We have explained the current situation to her, but Minxiang still has some concerns, as her good friend, you can persuade her." ”
"No problem, I'll do my best to persuade you. Where do the doctors think her concerns?"
"It should ...... It's money, right?"
Shuxian sighed slightly.
The doctor naturally sees it. He pursed his lips and said, "I don't think the problem is the money. ”
"Huh?" Shuxian looked up in confusion.
"Oh, we have medical ethics, the most important thing is to help patients, you can treat the disease first and then collect money, don't worry, you just persuade your friends to undergo surgery." ”
"But you didn't say ...... before"
"Before, we just did things according to the rules of the hospital, but we didn't pretend to be a loan shark to collect debts from you. ”
"Yes, but ...... It seems that since I took 30,000 yuan to pay off part of the medical expenses I owe last week, you really haven't urged the money, and we should still owe some ......."
"What, do you want our hospital to collect debts every day?" the doctor pushed his glasses again to hide the sharp eyes behind the lenses.
"That's not what I meant, I ......" Shuxian was a little incoherent by the doctor's kindness.
"Okay, in that case, go and persuade your friend to undergo surgery, I've already said that, don't worry about medical expenses, let's get cured first. The doctor waved at her to end the conversation.
It turns out that there is really true love in the world......
Coming out of the doctor's office, Jin Shuxian laughed from the bottom of her heart as if she had picked up a winning ticket,
Back in Minxiang's hospital room, her friend had already woken up, and Xiao Wei was peeling apples for her, talking and laughing about the gossip news of the last few days. Shuxian walked straight up to her, shook her friend's hand with both hands, and firmly persuaded: "Minxiang, you are our indispensable friend and future, in order to be able to heal your body, please undergo surgery." ”
Shuxian's eyes were full of determination, which brought Minxiang undoubted faith, and after a few words of back and forth, she finally nodded and agreed to the request for surgery.
Early on Friday morning, Maureen drove to pick up Jin Shuxian and went to the small internal show set up by Dai Diamond International Company to shoot a video and photo of all the selected contestants. Because she was in a hurry to work until three o'clock in the morning the night before, Shuxian really couldn't get up at eight o'clock at the appointed time. More than a dozen urgent phone calls were missed, and Mo Lin stood outside her apartment door ringing the doorbell, knocking on the door, calling someone, and almost using someone from the property management office to smash the door. Washed hastily, put on the baby V-neck black dress given by Lan Xinzi, Shuxian was stuffed into the car by Maureen with a haggard face, and rushed all the way to the destination.
As soon as you open the door of the studio, a show surrounded by white reveals itself. The background, lighting, and various lighting boards have been set up, and the remaining seven designers are all in place, and they have changed into uniform white clothes, and their makeup and hair have been set.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry - I've kept you waiting!" was frozen by the momentum of the people waiting in front of her, Jin Shuxian didn't speak, but Mo Lin apologized for her first, "Shuxian, you hurry up and get the clothes and makeup done, be quick, don't make everyone wait too long!"
Shuxian nodded, and under the naked gaze of everyone, she ran to the makeup area to dress up.
"Johnny, is this the Kim Shuxian who qualified for the competition?" asked a male designer who was slender and comparable to a girl, the square black frame on his face was distinctively very eye-catching, and his name tag suddenly read "Li Kun Charm Fashion Group".
"Chris, I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to learn about this kind of thing, maybe it's her. The man, known as Johnny, lowered one slender leg down the steps and leaned over to straighten the folds of his trousers.
"Heh, how could you not know, you are the main brand of the Diamond International Wedding Dress Department. How could Johnny, the most important of Ivy and Dai, and the famous Qiao Dong, not know who their new favorite is?"
"I'm really busy, unlike you, and I don't have time to care about who my future followers are. Qiao Dong responded without raising his head, and the smell of gunpowder on this table was already strong.
"Hehe, it's worthy of being a popular student, and the words you say are different. An older lady tugged at her white shawl and commented. Having designed and operated the independent wedding dress brand "Muse" for 20 years, Ms. Dong Qin exudes a mature and sharp temperament.
"Staying in a big company, the backstage is very hard, which is different from our independent studio, and I will need more advice in the future. Luo Cheng, who also designs and runs an independent wedding dress brand "Love Sea", has a little less industry experience, but he has also been in this industry for more than five years with exquisite skills and good connections.
"Or is it more challenging for you to run your own company? Chen Feiyan, who has just come out of a big-name European wedding dress design company and returned to China, modestly commented that she is thinking of creating a new brand when she returns to China this time, and is ready to work hard.
"Alright, don't be bored. Isn't it only more than five weeks at most that you will have to see the real chapter on the PK stage? Who is the top card and who is the follower, you will be able to see the pound and the two pounds at that time. The girl sitting on the edge of the stairs playing a shooter mobile game opened her mouth, she was a new rookie, a talented fashion designer from St. Martin's College, Mina, but it seemed that this was the first time she had designed a wedding dress.
A few people talked back and forth for a while, and Luo Tingting, the only student of the Fashion Institute who was sitting on the side, was the first to see Jin Shuxian dressed and came to gather. The two girls looked at each other for a moment, and as soon as Shuxian wanted to introduce herself, Maureen stepped forward and introduced everyone to her one by one. Whether it was Li Kun, who was in the limelight at the Tokyo show last year, Qiao Dong, who is currently famous, Dong Qin, who has decades of experience, Luo Cheng, who has a good reputation in the industry in Beijing, Chen Feiyan, who has a strong background, or Mina, a genius designer from a famous school, did not arouse Shuxian's interest. Only Luo Tingting, who can be regarded as a junior sister in the same school, has a quiet and humble appearance, which makes her can't help but pay more attention.
"Senior sister, I look forward to you making works that go beyond the 'rhyme' series. When she started taking a group photo, Luo Tingting stood next to Jin Shuxian, taking advantage of the free time, she said so softly.
"Thank you, and I'm looking forward to my sister's work. This is a heartfelt sentence, she is very curious, to be selected for the competition, to be able to compete with these extraordinary designers, how good it must be?
When the busy day came to an end, Shuxian immediately rushed back to the studio and started working non-stop. She became more and more aware that she had to fight for it with all her might. And the final answer can not only save the "Shuxiang Mendi" studio and Minxiang, but also find her lost self......
