Chapter 60: As a Fiancée (Part I)
Early the next morning, I opened my mailbox as usual, and Dawn's cold email was already there.
"Didn't I make it clear? Or do you simply not understand the meaning of the word dark night? What is this you gave me? Dawn? ”
I was stunned for a moment in front of this series of question marks, such an unceremonious tone is really rare, I shook my head with a wry smile, and typed a line back, "Do you think that the dark part of the night is still too little?" Personally, I don't think it's necessary to portray the night as completely dark. ”
There was a reply almost immediately, but it was only three words, "Look it up the dictionary." ”
"Is it true that the literal meaning of the word night alone should be assumed that the night is cold and dark? Wouldn't it be too superficial? Angered by his above-the-top attitude, my tone couldn't help but smell of gunpowder.
"I just need to be dark and dark, and I don't need you to make any extensions on that." It's such a straightforward order, and I think this Mr. Dawn is also a high-ranking figure.
I took a deep breath and calmed down, "Mr. Dawn, the night is not necessarily so dark as to be hopeless, isn't the night a precursor to the dawn?" Isn't there some kind of prelude to light in the dark night? All darkness is not permanent to the point of despair. ”
This time the wait was a little longer, and the other party seemed to be thinking about something.
After more than ten minutes, he replied, but he was still stubborn: "I want a tune, a piece that faithfully depicts this theme, not to discuss philosophical issues with you." ”
"With all due respect, Mr. Dawn," I said, taking a deep breath, not holding back, "why did you choose the name Dawn?" Perhaps, your heart is full of darkness, and even your life is as dark as the so-called dark night, so you will decide that the night is so dark that it is hopeless. But you named it Dawn, maybe you didn't realize it, this is your subconscious reaction, you also subconsciously look forward to the dawn to shine, pierce the bottomless darkness, you are also looking forward to the dawn, right? So why not believe that there is light in the dark night? ”
A long dead silence.
I sighed, why bother? Horizontal and vertical is for money, and it is changed according to the customer's requirements, so why bother competing with him? Again, it's not such a serious problem.
What's more, the light and darkness in the heart, the parties themselves may not be willing to face it, how can they talk about it?
I took a deep breath, calmed down, and calmly typed out a line, "Mr. Dawn, I'm sorry, I'm being too reckless, I'll change it as you ask, please give me some time." ”
The waiting time was quite long, but I was not a saint, and I had to bend my waist for five buckets of rice, so I could only convince myself to be patient.
Half an hour later, he replied to me, "Tomorrow before 12 noon." ”
Short sentences, with a cold trace of warmth between the lines, I pouted and got to work.
In the evening, Nik came home, looked back and forth in the house, and asked, "Sister Ruori, didn't Brother Ian come today?" ”
"No, I don't." I was in the kitchen preparing dinner, "Maybe Brother Ian has something to do today." ”
"Hmm......" Nik's face showed disappointment, "Brother said that he would play games with Nik today......"
I laughed, "But Brother Ian has his own things to do, and he can't be with Nik every day." Well, go wash your hands first, and dinner will be fine in a while. ”
"Well, I'll help you." Nik took two bowls and went to serve the rice.
"Nik, how was the homework the teacher gave today?" I put the dish on my plate and asked, turning my head.
"Not much, but Ray wants us to hand in a diary every day."
"Is that the new teacher who asked you to write "My Family" last time?" I asked casually.
"Well, that's him." At the mention of the new teacher, Nik was a little energetic, "Do you know Sister Ruori?" Ray is very handsome, no worse than Ian's brother, and he has a personable personality, and many girls in our class are talking in private, saying that Ray is very charming! ”
I smiled and tapped his little head lightly, "You little devils, you don't feel at ease studying, but you observe the teacher's appearance, and when you don't pass the grades, see if your new teacher will be soft when he punishes you." ”
Nik flattened his mouth, "It's true, Ray is really good-looking, a lot of girls like him, and they often surround him after class......"
I was so angry and funny, I bent down to look at him with my hands on my knees, "How old are you, just say what you like or dislike, do you know what it means to like?" ”
"I know!" Nik raised his head and said confidently, "Just like Brother Ian did to Sister Ruori!" ”
I was stunned, then I couldn't laugh or cry, and reached out and patted his little head, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
"I'm not talking nonsense." Nik was unconvinced, "Brother Ian likes Sister Ruori very much, I can see ......"
"Well, you can see that......," I interrupted him, no longer arguing with the imp, "but now you have to wash your hands at once, for dinner is ready." ”
As he spoke, Nik was already pouting and I pushed him out of the kitchen.
Sure enough, until noon the next day, Shang Jingyi did not appear again, my life was as usual, and I was originally living a clean life, so there was nothing wrong with it, but Nik was a little uncomfortable.
Surprisingly, however, at around four o'clock in the afternoon, Shang Xunyi appeared outside my house, looking a little anxious.
Poured a glass of water for him, I was a little surprised, so that the young master Shang, who has always been calm and calm in any situation, is anxious, presumably things are really not simple.
"What's wrong?" I wondered.
There was a slight embarrassment on his face, "Ruori, can you do me a favor?" ”
What does he need me to help him? I became more and more curious, "You say, if I can help." ”
"You," he said after a pause, "can you pretend to be my fiancée and accompany me to a ...... A blind date? ”
"What?" There was so much information that I couldn't accept it in an instant.
"I want you to accompany me on a blind date, as a fiancée." He was a little more confident, and raised his voice to repeat.
"Wait......" I looked at him in confusion, "since you're going on a blind date, what's the point of taking your fiancée?" And you don't seem to want to go. ”
He frowned, looking rather melancholy, "I really don't want to go, but ......"
I couldn't help but be curious, tilting my head and waiting for his explanation.
He finally sighed, "My aunt came here from the United States today, and brought a daughter of a big entrepreneur who said that she was going to introduce me tonight, originally I didn't go back to the United States recently just to avoid her, she lived in my house some time ago, and was always urging me to get engaged, I lied to her that there was something to deal with in the UK, and I came here to avoid her for some reason, but I didn't expect her to chase her, and look at her posture, if you don't see my engagement, I won't stop......"
