Chapter 25: Between Her and Her
Since the last time they were separated in the hospital, Ruan Youning has not seen Ruan Zhicheng for almost twenty days.
When I saw it today, Ruan Zhicheng had already faded the last trace of youth and immaturity on his face.
Ruan Youning just glanced at it, and found that his whole person revealed an inexplicable sharpness and indifference.
Seeing that Ruan Zhicheng was leaving, she hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth and called him urgently: "Cheng Cheng, don't go." ”
She wasn't sure if Ruan Zhicheng would listen to her, but since Jiang Pan'er returned to Ruan's house, her relationship with Ruan Zhicheng has indeed become more and more distant.
Now she doesn't know if Ruan Zhicheng will be kind to her.
What she didn't expect was that when Ruan Zhicheng heard her words, he really stopped, and stood quietly in place looking back at her.
With him like this, Ruan Youning was a little overwhelmed.
Song Shijing slowly peeled the shrimp in his hand and opened his mouth: "Sit down and eat together." ”
When Jiang Pan'er didn't appear, Ruan Zhicheng actually admired Song Shijing very much, although Song Shijing was the same age as Ruan Youning, but he was very mature and steady, and he could do anything very well.
When Ruan Zhicheng was just sensible, Song Shijing was a very good child, a typical 'other people's child'.
A little older, Ruan Zhicheng runs behind Ruan Youning every day, which is also mixed with the stinky fart psychology of children.
He was very proud that Song Shijing was with her sister every day, and he also wanted to show off Song Shijing to other children.
For so many years, Song Shijing's status in his heart is actually not lower than Ruan Youning.
But Ruan Youning is not his own sister anymore, and under Qin Yulan's strict supervision, he also has to work hard to put his mind on Jiang Paner.
Qin Yulan didn't allow him to be so good to a 'sister' who was not related by blood.
And every time he approached Jiang Pan'er, he always couldn't notice others, as if he was enchanted, and he couldn't pay more attention to people other than Jiang Pan'er.
Because of these reasons, unconsciously, Ruan Zhicheng slowly became cold to this most admired brother-in-law.
Now that Song Shijing asked him to sit down and eat together, Ruan Zhicheng really had mixed tastes in his heart.
His eyes flashed, but he quickly pulled a stool and sat down.
"Brother Shi Jing." He let out a low cry, and then looked at his nose, and his nose and heart bowed his head.
The waiter in the shop was quite discerning and quickly served new dishes and chopsticks.
Inexplicably, Ruan Youning felt that this younger brother, who had known him for more than 20 years, was a little cramped at this moment.
After hesitating for a moment, she moved to fill a bowl of porridge and put it in front of Ruan Zhicheng.
Ruan Zhicheng looked at the porridge in front of him, was silent for a short time, and still picked up the spoon and took a few sips.
This is the first time he has spent time alone with Ruan Youning and Song Shijing after he found Jiang Paner.
After more than 20 years of relationship, in fact, no one thought that it would end that night.
Ruan Zhicheng is still too young, he thinks that he will get along peacefully, and he will have one more sister, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and the first thing he didn't expect was Qin Yulan's reaction.
But Ruan Zhicheng did not regret taking Jiang Paner home to recognize his parents.
He couldn't find the point he regretted, he found his own sister, his parents' biological daughter, and he couldn't find the point where he regretted taking Jiang Pan'er home.
Moreover, this sister is not bad, she has seen a lot of factories, and she doesn't look like a person with a bad background at all.
The only thing he regretted was that every time he didn't want to be indifferent to Ruan Youning, but every time he did something very indifferent.
He didn't want to do this, but there was always a voice in his brain that was kind to him, making him uncontrollable cold eyes every time.
The strange feeling of the separation between the intellectual and the emotional, sometimes he feels that there is something wrong with him.
He tried to find someone to talk to, but he quickly shut up again.
This absurd feeling, what he wants to say, who to say.
Once he confides in, others will definitely think that he is either sick in the brain or schizophrenic.
He admits that he doesn't dare.
Ruan Zhicheng had a lot of messy thoughts in his head, and he didn't even feel like he could eat the porridge in the bowl.
He was silent, Ruan Youning and Song Shijing glanced at each other, and did not speak.
Sometimes I want to say so much that I don't know where to start.
After Ruan Zhicheng drank a bowl of porridge, he didn't mean to drink it again, he put down the spoon and said in a low voice: "I should go." ”
He got up as he spoke.
"Cheng ......"
Ruan Youning didn't have time to say the words he kept, and Ruan Zhicheng left without looking back.
His steps were hurried, and he soon disappeared in front of the store.
Ruan Youning didn't know what to say for a while, and after being silent for a long time, she sighed softly.
Song Shijing saw all this in his eyes, he pursed his lips, and still said, "Ning Ning, don't call him." It's not been a long time coming. ”
"Hmmm......"
Ruan Youning was depressed in her heart, and responded indiscriminately.
-
Ruan Zhicheng walked out of the door and went straight to another restaurant selling porridge.
He quickly packed a few small porridges and side dishes and went to the twelfth floor.
It wasn't until he reached the door of room 1208 that Ruan Zhicheng stopped, he knocked on the door, and only after getting a response from the people inside did he swipe the room card to enter.
"Sister, has the fever subsided? Are you feeling better? ”
Ruan Zhicheng opened the packing box and asked the person lying on the bed softly.
Coincidentally, Jiang Paner also happened to have a fever.
Her face was pale, and her whole person was obviously weak, and after seeing Ruan Zhicheng, she reluctantly got out of bed: "I'm much better, Cheng Cheng, I'm fine." ”
Although she said that it was okay, how could Ruan Zhicheng be her really fine.
He hurriedly helped Jiang Pan'er to the stool of the small dining table, and unconsciously complained with a trace of complaint: "Sister, just wait for me to bring the food to you, don't move around!" ”
Jiang Paner smiled apologetically, and couldn't help coughing a few times.
Two days ago, as soon as Ruan Zhicheng returned to the old mansion, he was given a task by Qin Yulan - to accompany Jiang Paner to participate in a manga bidding project on Saturday.
"If your sister wants to go, you can accompany you, do a good job of logistics for your sister, and don't let your sister be distracted by some trivial things."
She instructed again and again, for fear that Ruan Zhicheng would not agree.
Ruan Zhicheng wondered, he had never heard Jiang Paner say that he could paint, and didn't this kind of project generally fall on painters with deep painting skills? Ruan Youning will only get the project if he participates, right?
He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Pan'er, who was eating quietly on the side, and was even more surprised in his heart.
And Jiang Pan'er's gaze met him, and he just smiled slightly, revealing a harmless expression.
Ruan Zhicheng had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show half of it on his face, so he agreed.
Everything went smoothly.
After Ruan Zhicheng settled Jiang Pan'er, he went to the next room, washed up and prepared to rest.
Who knew that when I was in a daze, I was woken up by a phone call.
Jiang Pan'er's soft voice on the phone couldn't hide the hoarseness.
……
Ruan Zhicheng recalled today's events, and felt that it was really too coincidental to bump into Ruan Youning.
It can't be said to be too coincidental, it just seems that in the dark, he will definitely meet Ruan Youning tonight.
He couldn't help but sigh softly, but Jiang Pan'er was very keenly aware of the emotions flashing on his face.
Cheng Cheng ...... You ......," she stopped.
Ruan Zhicheng handed the chopsticks to Jiang Pan'er, and he didn't know why: "Ah, what's wrong, sister, what do you say?" ”
Jiang Pan'er took a sip of porridge slowly before continuing: "You just ...... Did you meet an acquaintance downstairs? ”
Who this 'acquaintance' refers to, she doesn't need to say it very clearly, and Ruan Zhicheng also knows who it refers to.
Subconsciously, Ruan Zhicheng shook his head and denied it: "No." ”
Did he say it, Jiang Paner seemed to believe it, she lowered her eyes, casually, and asked softly: "Cheng Cheng, who will you say that you will get the ownership of this project tomorrow?" ”
Of course it's my sister!
Ruan Zhicheng blurted out in his heart, but he covered it up very well on his face.
He shook his head, "I don't know, but I hope it's my sister." ”
How vague this sister is, only he knows in his own heart.
Jiang Pan'er's pale face was a little ruddy because of drinking the warm porridge, she raised her eyes, stared at Ruan Zhicheng with a pair of eyes that were exactly the same as Ruan Youning, and smiled, "I hope too." ”
-
At 8 a.m. the next morning, Nguyen Ninh's mobile phone received a text message on time.
"Miss Ruan Youning, congratulations on being shortlisted, please wait for the final result in Meeting Room A on the first floor."
Ruan Youning was surprised, what about this way of announcement? She also thought that she would notify the individual directly, and then sign the contract directly in private, and the whole process would be kept confidential.
Song Shijing was also a little surprised, this?
Puzzled, the two quickly went to the A meeting room on the first floor.
As soon as he entered the door, Ruan Youning looked up and was surprised to find that there were already people inside.
How can it be so coincidental......
Song Shijing glanced at it and was slightly surprised.
Ruan Zhicheng was uncomfortable, awkward, he left without saying a word yesterday, and at this moment Jiang Pan'er appeared next to him, this feeling is really ...... Indescribable.
He lowered his head and staggered their gaze.
Facing the different expressions of the three of them, Jiang Paner greeted generously: "Meet again." ”
Because of the terrible dream before, Ruan Youning just glanced at Jiang Pan'er and lowered his eyes.
She didn't want to admit that she would think of that dream when she saw Jiang Pan'er, and she didn't want to admit that the dark and twisted person in the dream was herself.
She nodded indiscriminately, in response to Jiang Paner's greeting, and pulled Song Shijing into the seat together.
Ruan Youning thought that someone would come in, but after waiting and waiting, no one came in again.
Don't......
Her gaze couldn't help but sweep to Jiang Pan'er, could it be that she and her were the only ones who received this message? No one else?
The end result is a choice between her and her?
As soon as this thought came out, it lingered.
The last time she went back to the old house, she thought that Jiang Paner's request to learn to paint was just casual talk, or she wanted to make up for those missing time, she never thought that Jiang Paner could surpass her after learning for a while.
But right now, the huge conference room is just her and her.
Is it, or is it she, who makes Party A entangled to this point?
Is her level regressing, or is Jiang Paner's level far beyond her?
Ruan Youning's brain was messed up with a lot of thoughts, and an indescribable horror came to his heart.
Her instincts told her that something seemed to be slowly changing. But what exactly it is, she doesn't have a single eyebrow.
Her expression changed and changed, and Song Shijing saw it in her eyes.
He grabbed her hand at some point, pinched her fingers gently, and silently transmitted his strength.
Ruan Youning raised her head and smiled reluctantly.
