"Ling Bai, I want to discuss something with you, do you have time now?"

Not long after Ji Lingbai returned to school, he received a call from Xi Zimo. Ji Lingbai didn't tell Xi Zimo about this incident, he didn't want Xi Zimo to come into contact with these now, although it was just a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster.

"I'll always have time for your business. Ji Lingbai said to Xi Zimo on the other end of the phone.

It just so happened that at this time, Liang Shuang brought in a document, Ji Lingbai motioned for the other party to put it on the table, and he walked to the window alone and listened to Xi Zimo's story.

"There was a calligraphy and painting competition, and my classmates and teachers wanted me to participate in the ......," Xi Zimo and Ji Lingbai recounted their troubles.

Ji Lingbai thought for a while, "What about yourself?"

Xi Zimo didn't know what he was thinking, in fact, he was originally learning this, and there was nothing to participate in. However, I can't say why, Xi Zimo always has some concerns.

"I don't know. Xi Zimo's voice was not loud, but Ji Lingbai still heard it.

"Zimo. "Ji Lingbai actually has a bit of a headache, when he communicated with himself in his previous life, Xi Zimo can be said to be a very mature person.

Even if he didn't agree at the last moment, Xi Zimo still replaced his own crime according to his own plan, so that he ended up like that.

Maybe it was because he was too tired over there this time, and when he came back and received such a call, Ji Lingbai couldn't help but feel a little tired.

"I thought you could handle it. ”

Xi Zimo, who was full of anticipation, didn't expect Ji Lingbai to answer himself like this, maybe he was really spoiled by Ji Lingbai, and when he heard it at first glance, Xi Zimo was a little stunned.

"You...... I'll figure it out on my own. Xi Zimo didn't say much, and hung up the phone directly.

Ji Lingbai looked at the blackened phone and realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, but he was just ...... Ji Lingbai rubbed his eyebrows, sat down at his desk, and began to deal with the problems left over from the past few days.

It's not that I don't know that the other party's current appearance is that I "cultivated" at the beginning, but when I really encounter a problem, I still hope that the other party can stand by my side or even in front of me.

By the time Ji Lingbai had almost handled all these tasks, it was already dark outside. The people in the company have already left work, and now only Liang Shuang is still here to accompany him to work overtime.

"Mr. Ji, are you off work?" When there were only two people, Liang Shuang was still more casual.

Ji Lingbai nodded and took his things and prepared to leave, "You should also get off work early, it's not too early." ”

Liang Shuang followed Ji Lingbai out of the company's gate, and when the two were waiting for the car, Liang Shuang asked the question that had been stored in his stomach for an afternoon.

"Mr. Ji, are you unhappy?"

Ji Lingbai looked at Liang Shuang, "Why do you ask that?"

Ji Lingbai, who thought that he had a clear distinction between work and private feelings, did not expect that the first time he had a conflict with Xi Zimo, he was discovered by his subordinates.

Liang Shuang lowered his head and whispered, "Because you looked very unhappy all afternoon." ”

"That's it?"

"Not really. Liang Shuang didn't know how to tell how he felt, "Anyway, you look very wrong this afternoon, is something going on?"

Liang Shuang shouldn't have asked this question, but looking at Ji Lingbai like this now, she couldn't help but ask it.

Ji Lingbai leaned against the tree on the side of the road, "Actually, I can't say it clearly, I just feel that the resemblance to myself is different, and I feel that I am very contradictory." ”

Yes, paradoxically. That is, he enjoys Xi Zimo's dependence on himself, but in some moments he misses the independent other party in his previous life.

"Everyone is contradictory. Liang Shuang said his feelings very directly. "The question is whether you can find the middle degree. ”

In fact, Ji Lingbai didn't understand this question, but when things happened to him, he couldn't turn a corner.

"The car is coming, I won't tell you, I'll go first. Seeing Ji Lingbai's discomfort, Liang Shuang left first.

Ji Lingbai, who was very confused in his mind, simply walked along the road, thinking about why he became the way he is now.

When Ji Lingbai was lying on the bed, he even couldn't sleep. The phone lit up at this time, but instead of a phone call, it was a text message.

"Ling Bai, what's the matter with you and Zimo?"

It was sent by He Yanfang, and as soon as she opened her mouth, it was a questioning tone. Ji Lingbai, who hadn't figured it out at the beginning, was a little irritable.

"Nothing. ”

"How is that possible?" He Yanfang looked surprised. "You must have upset Zimo. ”

Ji Lingbai didn't know how He Yanfang could come to such a conclusion, and he didn't know how to reply.

It is pure coincidence that He Yanfang has this feeling, mainly because she went out for a walk at night and came back to see Xi Zimo who was depressed.

asked the other party, although the other party barely held up a smile. It's just that He Yanfang is also an adult, what can't you see?

Thinking about it, Xi Zimo seems to be quite cold to everyone else, and no one should be able to influence him. Then the only one who can make the other party feel bad is his own daughter.

So I immediately sent a text message to Ji Lingbai, but I didn't expect to receive the same cold answer. He Yanfang instantly understood that these two must have really had a conflict.

The phone rang for a long time before Ji Lingbai picked it up. "Mom-"

"Ling Bai?" He Yanfang originally wanted to say a few words about Ji Lingbai, but when she heard Ji Lingbai's voice, she knew that Ji Lingbai was not feeling well, but she didn't know what to say.

"Hmm. Ji Lingbai also knew that it was wrong for her to do this, but she knew that even if this time passed, the next time she encountered something similar, it would still break out.

It's just that children are children in the hearts of adults, and He Yanfang still wants to use her experience to help them.

"You and Zimo ......" He Yanfang's words were interrupted by Ji Lingbai before she could finish speaking.

"Mom, I can solve this matter myself, so you don't have to worry. ”

No wonder Zimo can't stand you, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to. Although He Yanfang herself is a female man, she still prefers the kind of gentle girl.

A girl with a character like Ji Lingbai is basically on the strong side in love, but strong is never a good word in love. It means more giving, it means more responsibility, it means more harm.

Hearing Ji Lingbai fall silent, He Yanfang was still distressed, after all, she was her daughter.

"Okay, I won't say it, you can solve it yourself. I have only one sentence, the cold war is the most unwise way to deal with it. After speaking, He Yanfang hung up the phone without waiting for Ji Lingbai to respond.

"Cold War", "the most unwise". He Yanfang's words kept hovering in Ji Lingbai's mind, and by the time Ji Lingbai reacted, his hand had already involuntarily dialed Xi Zimo's phone.

Looking at her phone blankly, she reasoned and told Ji Lingbai that she should hang up, but she hesitated.

Just when she hesitated, Xi Zimo took the phone, "Hey?"

The boy's voice was low, and he probably didn't pay attention to who was calling. It's just that the mood is not high, even Ji Lingbai heard it over the phone.

Maybe Ji Lingbai didn't respond for too long, but Xi Zimo finally looked at the display on his phone.

"Ling Bai?"

"It's me. Ji Lingbai didn't feel that he was wrong, so even if he called, he didn't know what to say.

Xi Zimo was silent for a while, "Is there something wrong?" I'm busy, so I'll hang up if it's okay." ”

After the unpleasant conversation at noon, Xi Zimo thought about himself. This kind of thing can indeed be solved by himself, but why would he ask Ji Lingbai?

It's nothing more than wanting to share with the other party and listen to the other party's advice by the way. It's just that Ji Lingbai's rhetorical question really hurt Xi Zimo.

"What are you busy with?" Ji Lingbai tried to make his tone sound less aggressive, but there was inevitably some resentment. After all, in the past, Xi Zimo would put down everything just to contact himself.

"Busy preparing for the game. Xi Zimo's reply was cold, and there was even some meaning of "self-abandonment" in it.

Xi Zimo did hesitate before, because the previous match gave him a very bad experience, although the final result looked good. But it cannot be denied that the moment he saw the result of the game, Xi Zimo was very disappointed. This was the main reason why he asked Ji Lingbai.

"Did you participate in that competition?" Ji Lingbai was a little puzzled, really speaking, she knew Xi Zimo's troubles.

Xi Zimo's tone was a little stiff, "Didn't you let me make my own decisions?"

"I ......" Ji Lingbai didn't know what to say. "Then prepare well. ”

said so, but neither of them hung up the phone first, just silent.

"I'm going to paint, I'll call you later?"

Today's events made him realize that he couldn't always be the person behind Ji Lingbai, but had something that he could get his hands on. So, let's start with this one.

Xi Zimo said this, and Ji Lingbai couldn't continue to drag it out. "Well, then you're done and get some rest. ”

Ji Lingbai, who hung up the phone, actually regretted it a little, he had made his own decisions so many times before, and it was normal to change the other party at first glance and not get used to it. And it's true that there have been too many things lately, and the mood is not very good, so something like this will happen.

Ji Lingbai, who decided to talk to Xi Zimo tomorrow, fell asleep with peace of mind, but Xi Zimo on the other side didn't figure it out so quickly.

Xi Zimo, who was originally painting, looked at his works in frustration, "It's really bad." ”

Ji Lingbai's influence on himself was even more profound than he thought, so much so that he couldn't even paint a painting that satisfied him.

"I'm really ...... that," Xi Zimo fell into deep self-doubt.
