18. I want to look at you
There was no banquet or dinner that night, Chen Liwan went out to visit friends, leaving Chen Ruowen alone in the hotel. The laptop was playing a sample of the first episode of the program that Zhang Jiang had just sent, but Chen Ruowen's expression was not very good-looking.
Zhang Jiang reluctantly understood his requirements, and the cut film could be regarded as a highly concentrated version of only the essence, but Chen Ruowen was still not satisfied with it. At this point, the quality is passable, but with these things you want to catch fire...... As if it weren't enough to see.
Could it be that as Zhang Jiang said, the fire can really only rely on life?
The mobile phone screen lit up suddenly, Chen Ruowen glanced at it casually, and the serious face that was frowning slightly in the last second was unraveled like a spring breeze and rain.
"What are you doing?"
The news was sent by Bai Jinyan, speaking of which, Chen Ruowen only called Bai Jinyan on the first day after coming to Beicheng to report that she was safe, and then she forgot about it because she was too busy with the draft, so she hadn't contacted Bai Jinyan for nearly a week.
So Chen Ruowen didn't reply to the message, but called back a video call very simply.
The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and Bai Jinyan's white and thin face was transmitted on the mobile phone screen.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Jinyan's voice was slightly hoarse, and he could hear that he was trying his best to keep the volume down.
Chen Ruowen snorted lightly, obviously this guy sent her the message first, but she actually asked herself what was wrong.
She glanced at the dark background of the screen and wondered.
"What are you doing? Why is there no light around? ”
Bai Jinyan glanced back at this, pointed the lens of his mobile phone at the pitiful light on the ceiling behind him, and turned the camera back before Chen Ruowen complained.
"I was studying last night, and the corridor was not well lit."
Chen Ruowen replied sullenly: "Yes, you still have to study at night." ”
"Well, when are you going to be back?"
Bai Jinyan said and walked a few steps in the direction of the staircase, and then put on headphones.
Sure enough, in the next second, he heard Chen Ruowen's familiar joke.
"What, miss me?"
Bai Jinyan subconsciously glanced around, but the expression on his face was still calm.
"You missed too many classes, and you didn't take the fall joint entrance examination, which is not good."
Chen Ruowen yawned, a little weak.
"It's not like you don't know, these exams don't mean anything to me at all. And there are so many things going on my side that I can't pull away at all. ”
"No wonder ......"
Bai Jinyan paused, but he didn't finish his words after all, and even asked as if he hadn't opened his mouth at all just now.
"What task did Uncle Chen assign to you? I thought you were traveling to Beicheng this time. ”
"What is there to travel in the North City."
Chen Ruowen didn't care too much, and then turned on the complaining mode that had been held back for several days.
"I watched the game at the venue during the day, and when I went back to the hotel at night, I had to watch samples, and from time to time there were various dinners and banquets.
Hearing the familiar complaint on the other side, Bai Jinyan chuckled, he stared at the familiar face on the mobile phone screen, but the emotions in his eyes could not be transmitted to the other end of the network through the camera.
"I have packed the exam papers of the past few days and sent them to your mailbox, remember to read them when you have time. The difficult points and easy mistakes have also been marked for you, and I have memorized these places, and I will take the test when you come back. ”
Chen Ruowen's red lips opened slightly, and her face became bitter.
"Hey, Bai Jinyan, do you have any sympathy? I'm tired like this, and you still let me do the test papers? I said, you can't message me just to remind me of this kind of boring thing, right? ”
Bai Jinyan hummed lightly.
"After all, it's hard for me to take double notes."
“……”
Chen Ruowen was completely speechless now.
Let's complain, after all, this is a note that Bai Jinyan specially made for her! Don't complain, the excitement I felt when I first received the text message was completely wasted.
"I thought you missed me, and I was happy in vain."
Bai Jinyan didn't reply this time, he glanced back behind him, and then still lowered his voice, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but said very gently.
"I'll go back to class, so I won't talk about it yet."
"No way!"
finally made a phone call, and this person actually told her a few words to let her want to run when she read the test papers?
Bai Jinyan didn't seem to be surprised at all by Chen Ruowen's refusal, but still patiently explained softly.
"It's class time, and I can't come out for too long."
Classes and classes are classes again!
Do you think I don't know that there is no teacher to watch at all in the evening self-study!
You are a rich second generation who thinks about studying hard every day and making progress every day!
Can you find something more interesting to do!!
"You can go back to class, but you can't hang up with me." In the end, Chen Ruowen compromised.
Bai Jinyan was a little helpless: "How can I answer your phone in class?" ”
"I don't care, you are not allowed to hang anyway. I didn't ask you to talk to me, you just need to listen with headphones! I've already taken a step back, are you going to take a step back too? ”
Bai Jinyan thought for a while: "I'll call you by voice at that moment." ”
"No, I want a video."
Chen Ruowen's tone was very resolute, with a hint of shyness that was almost negligible.
"I want to look at you."
Bai Jinyan didn't know how he was forced to agree to this ridiculous request in the end, he only knew that when Chen Ruowen said the words that he wanted to look at him, it seemed that fireworks in the sky suddenly exploded next to his ears, exploding his brain blank and making him delirious.
Chen Ruowen waited for a while for the mobile phone screen to light up again, Bai Jinyan seemed to have put the mobile phone horizontally in front of a bunch of exercise books on the table, the front camera slapped his face from bottom to top at a mysterious angle, and the half-tube fluorescent lamp on the ceiling was particularly eye-catching.
"You move your phone to the left, the light is too dazzling."
Bai Jinyan did as he was told.
"Bai Jinyan, you hold the phone a little higher, what kind of death angle is this, it's too ugly."
"Then I'll hang up." Bai Jinyan lowered his voice, and there was no unusual emotion in his words.
"No! You move your phone again! Yes, yes, that's all, a little higher...... Change to a vertical screen, just shoot yourself, I don't want to look at the messy people next to me...... Hey, who's that ugly monster behind you? Don't shoot him...... Why did this man come here? ”
Bai Jinyan followed Chen Ruowen's words and turned around, only to see a monkey face, leaning behind his head and constantly squeezing his eyebrows.
"Okay, Brother Yan, I have to turn on the monitoring to report the itinerary during the evening self-study, and Sister Wen is very strict!"
Bai Jinyan stretched out his hand and quickly pressed the lock screen button, then quickly unplugged the earphones, completely ignored Chen Ruowen's protest and decisively put the phone into his purse, and his white face was stained with a suspicious halo for the first time.
"You're wrong."
