Uncle, he likes you very much too.
Hearing this, Shi Yunnan unconsciously froze the smile on his lips. He held the little goldfish on the desk and denied it, "You are a big kid, how do you know that Luo Lingsheng likes me?"
"I'm sure I like it, my uncle is so good, everyone likes you."
The little goldfish shook his head in response, he paused, and continued to prove the answer just now with his own point of view.
"Uncle is very fierce towards other people, but he is very kind to my uncle. The first time we met, he told me that my uncle was family."
"We will be nice to those we like, right?"
"..."
Shi Yunnan stared at the clear pupil color of the little goldfish, and suddenly there was no rebuttal.
It is said that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders.
But sometimes, adults are not as thorough as children, and their purest thoughts are often the most accurate.
Yes.
Luo Lingsheng is a name that everyone else will be scared to hear, a person who will not be soft-hearted towards Xie Keyue and Wen Wanyou, just for the sake of a paper agreement, can he let his own nonsense
Although Shi Yunnan feels that he has enough excellence, he will not be so proud that he thinks that he is excellent in the sky and nothing in the bottom.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Luo Lingsheng wanted to agree to get married, there would be many people rushing to agree.
"Uncle, are you still not happy?"
The little goldfish saw that Shi Yunnan didn't speak again, and suddenly put his tender little face in front of him, "Then you poke my face, it's fun."
Shi Yunnan was amused by the little goldfish and poked his cheek as he wished.
"Little uncle, don't be afraid. If uncle makes you angry, I will teach you a lesson when I grow up."
When his uncle was not at home, the little goldfish favored Shi Yunnan without hesitation.
Shi Yunnan pretended to be surprised, "Yo, how dare you teach Luo Lingsheng a lesson?"
Thinking of Luo Lingsheng's serious face, the little goldfish was instantly cowardly, "... Can we be together? Uncle doesn't dare to kill uncle."
"Who said that, he murdered me today."
"Ah? That uncle is bad."
The two people, one big and one small, chatted, very daily, very trivial, and even a little cute and naive.
Perhaps it was the time when he usually went to sleep, and the little goldfish yawned uncontrollably, rubbing his tearful eyes, "... Little uncle."
"Want to sleep, right? I'll take you back to sleep."
"Can I sleep with my uncle?" The little goldfish glanced at the cat pajamas on his body, and bury his head to smell it, "I've already washed the fragrance, it doesn't stink."
Shi Yunnan couldn't stop laughing, and simply carried him to his bed, "Okay, you sleep with me."
Shi Yunnan's inner loneliness was temporarily driven away by this conversation. He stared at the little goldfish obediently sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed, and suddenly he was not so anxious to make a decision.
Even if the relationship between him and Luo Lingsheng can only stay on the agreement, it is actually not bad to have a sensible and sticky little goldfish to accompany him.
…
Luo Lingsheng went abroad for a comprehensive physical examination this time, but he actually only stayed for less than four days before returning.
When he and Qin Jian and others returned to Luo's house, it was not yet nine o'clock in the evening.
Shi Yunnan, who was in the room drawing the design draft, vaguely heard the movement downstairs, and habitually got up and picked up the water glass and wanted to go downstairs.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he met Luo Lingsheng at the door.
"..."
The two stopped blinking in unison.
This is the first time the two have met since the 'unhappy breakup' in the training room that day.
Luo Lingsheng took the initiative to send some WeChat messages in the past few days. Shi Yunnan only regarded himself as a blind man, pretended not to see and did not reply.
Shi Yunnan thought that Luo Lingsheng was just passing by to the study, so he kept silent, but after waiting quietly for three or four seconds, the other party did not intend to move the wheelchair at all.
"Just came back? Don't you go to the study?"
Shi Yunnan asked this sentence in a shriveled manner, completely losing the idea of 'making trouble' in the past.
Luo Lingsheng naturally understood his attitude, and controlled the wheelchair to push forward a little more, "Are you free? I'm here to find you, and I want to talk to you about something."
In less than five days, after the long flight time back and forth, Luo Lingsheng had to cooperate with the medical team to carry out rehabilitation training in addition to ordinary examination and treatment, so as to record the values of various activities.
Not only that, when he was exhausted from the test, he had to continue to deal with the affairs of the group. It can be said that his spirit has been in a tense state.
Even so, Luo Lingsheng still chose to come to Shi Yunnan when he returned to Luo's house.
"In the training room that day, I said the wrong thing in a hurry. I'm just not used to being... being seen so embarrassed by you."
Luo Lingsheng tried his best to suppress the exhaustion in his voice, and the tension in his heart that no one could detect.
The fact that Shi Yunnan didn't reply to his WeChat was enough to make him mess up.
In fact, after speaking that day, Luo Lingsheng felt a lot of regret, but he really couldn't find the time to talk face to face.
"Mr. Luo, you don't need to apologize to me."
Shi Yunnan lowered his eyes slightly, and replied calmly and generally, "In the training room that day, I broke in without permission. You're right, I'm out of bounds."
"If Mr. Luo hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that I and you are only in an 'agreement' relationship, but it's not too late to realize it again."
"From now on, apart from acting in front of outsiders, I will keep a distance from Mr. Luo in the rest of my private time."
Shi Yunnan quickly finished this paragraph of lies that had been choreographed countless times, and the palm of his hand holding the water cup was slightly sweaty.
Even so, he was unwilling to give in any more in front of Luo Lingsheng—
This is the temperament he has cultivated since he was a child. Once he feels a 'threat', he will protect himself in all aspects.
In fact, Luo Lingsheng's two sentences in the training room were secondary.
What makes Shi Yunnan focus on is that the other party is likely to keep him out forever because of the white moonlight in his heart.
In this case, he took the initiative to go far is the best protection for himself.
Shi Yunnan resisted the surging emotions and replied, "Mr. Luo, if there is nothing wrong, please let me go."
No matter how much mental construction he had done beforehand, in front of Luo Lingsheng, his heartbeat was still out of his control.
Luo Lingsheng's brows and hearts were complicated, and the other party said 'Mr. Luo', directly returning their relationship to the beginning.
Just as he was about to say something, a voice sounded nearby, "Little uncle, I have finished taking a shower."
The little goldfish hugged his little blanket and ran towards Shi Yunnan happily. His sight touched his uncle, and Sa Huan's pace slowed down, "Uncle, are you back?"
"Ok."
Luo Lingsheng looked at his little nephew, "Jin Yu, what are you doing?"
"I sleep with my uncle!" The little goldfish answered proudly.
During the few nights when my uncle was away, he came to sleep with my uncle every night.
Only in this way, the little uncle will not be like the little white rabbit in the story, taking advantage of the time to sleep at night, leaving their family members and sneaking away in private.
Shi Yunnan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and had to sigh that this good baby came at the right time.
He pulled the little goldfish into the room with one hand, and said indifferently to Luo Lingsheng, "We are almost going to rest, Mr. Luo, please feel free."
Bang.
The door was closed without hesitation.
"..."
The words Luo Lingsheng wanted to say were stuck in his throat, unable to speak or swallow, and gradually felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness.
He stayed silent for a while at the door before whispering 'good night' to the people in the room.
…
Shi Yunnan finally broke free from an invisible tension when he heard the sound of the wheelchair walking away.
Under his signal, the little goldfish released his mouth tightly covered by his hands, and said in a very deliberate voice, "Little uncle, is uncle gone?"
"Well, let's go."
Shi Yunnan lost the thought of drinking water and led the little goldfish back.
The little goldfish looked up and asked him eagerly, "Are you still angry with your uncle?"
"Not angry."
Shi Yunnan couldn't say much in front of the child, "Go to bed, it's almost nine o'clock."
"Oh."
The little goldfish obediently took his own blanket and climbed into bed, "Good night, little uncle."
"Good night."
Little Goldfish is a child who falls asleep quickly. Shi Yunnan adjusted the brightness of the bedside lamp, and after a while, he saw him fall asleep sweetly.
Shi Yunnan lost his desire to design, so he simply leaned against the bed.
In fact, Luo Lingsheng didn't need to take the initiative to apologize, he knew that the other party's 'crossing the line' was just an angry word in shame, and he also understood that Bai Yueguang could also be a past tense that had nothing to do with it.
The childish words of the little goldfish just aroused Shi Yunnan's cognition.
A character like Luo Lingsheng would not allow anyone to enter his inner world at will.
And the previous self, perhaps infinitely close to the position in Luo Lingsheng's heart, but only close, not rooted.
In fact, Shi Yunnan had a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome, so to be more precise—
He is jealous.
He was eating the vinegar of Luo Lingsheng, Bai Yueguang who had never met.
Shi Yunnan tried to throw away all his feelings and return himself to the status of the 'contract object', which was very difficult, and he couldn't do it overnight.
So I just pretended not to care and pretended to be calm like I did just now.
Just thinking about it, WeChat rang. It was a WeChat message from Lu Zhaoan.
- Mr. Shi, are you free tomorrow
—You said before that you wanted to visit Yuanshi’s processing plant and raw stone warehouse? I can arrange it for you tomorrow.
Shi Yunnan has this idea.
He agreed to the cooperation request with Lu Zhaoan for a very simple reason: compared to diamond design, jade design is the design direction he really wants to develop.
Since Yuan Shi and Lu Zhaoan offered this olive branch, he was naturally willing to accept it.
In the future, relying on the real name 'Shi Yunnan' to develop some contacts in the Chinese industry, he can further create his own design studio.
Even though the scene in the dream has undergone earth-shaking changes, in life, he has to plan a way for himself.
…
The next day.
In order to avoid Luo Lingsheng, Shi Yunnan deliberately hid in the room until near noon before going downstairs, but unexpectedly, he caught Luo Lingsheng's line of sight again.
"..."
Looking at each other, Shi Yunnan paused slightly when he went downstairs.
But it would be too deliberate to sneak upstairs now.
Shi Yunnan simply restrained his emotions and walked down, putting his thin coat and accompanying small bag on the chair, "...Why don't you go to the group at this point today?"
Luo Lingsheng said directly, "Wait for you to come downstairs."
Shi Yunan: "..."
Qin Bo motioned for the servants to bring up all the reserved meals, and then silently led the others to retreat, leaving room for the two masters of the family to be alone.
Luo Lingsheng took the initiative to care, "Don't eat breakfast and lunch together, skipping breakfast for a long time is bad for your stomach."
Shi Yunnan scooped up a mouthful of seafood porridge, "Mr. Xie Luo cares, but I'm used to it."
Luo Lingsheng's chest was blocked by the phrase 'Mr. Luo'. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the items Shi Yunan had brought down, "Want to go out this afternoon?"
"Ok."
Shi Yunnan's answer was very brief. His eyes stayed in the bowl, and he didn't look at Luo Lingsheng at all.
He didn't despise the other party, but he was afraid that once he met Luo Lingsheng's eyes, some deep-seated emotions would be captured with nowhere to hide.
Luo Lingsheng saw Shi Yunnan becoming more and more defensive and estranged towards him, his heart seemed to be clenched by invisible hands, and even the sound of breathing was a little tighter.
After all, Luo Lingsheng still couldn't control it, and controlled the diameter of the wheelchair to shorten the distance between the two, "Still angry?"
Shi Yunnan heard apologetic inquiries close to his ears, and his right hand holding the porridge shook unconsciously.
He turned his head to look at Luo Lingsheng's focused eyes, duplicitous, "No."
Luo Lingsheng sensed the sullenness he showed for a moment, and a smile finally eased from his dignified eyebrows, "Last time in the training room, I was the one who didn't choose to say anything, I..."
"I'm full." Shi Yunan interrupted Luo Lingsheng.
He couldn't control his fast heartbeat, so he had to retreat slightly to keep his calm state, "I have an appointment in the afternoon, and I still have work."
Luo Lingsheng raised his eyes and looked at Shi Yunnan, who had gotten up and left, and blurted out anxiously, "Who's on an appointment?"
"Lu Zhao'an."
The moment he heard the name emerge from Shi Yunnan's mouth, Luo Lingsheng's heart felt sour uncontrollably.
He didn't want to push the other party away with a tough attitude, so he could only ask slowly, "You work with him? When did it happen?"
"I agreed to Lu Zhaoan's jade design cooperation."
Shi Yunnan caught a glimpse of Luo Lingsheng's frowning brows, and his wickedness after holding his breath for several days came up again, "In the future, I may have to work together every day, and please Mr. Luo not to cross the line and ask more questions, so as not to interfere with my normal social life and work."
"..."
Out of bounds? put one's oar in
One sentence knocked Luo Lingsheng on the spot. No matter how tricky he encountered in the struggle for power, it was no match for the three words of the person in front of him.
Shoot yourself in the foot.
It was only now that Luo Lingsheng understood the true meaning of this sentence.
Shi Yunnan turned around and was about to leave, only to hear Luo Lingsheng's reminder, "Wait, I forgot something, put on your coat when you go out."
On a gray and rainy day, the weather in Dijing was already a bit chilly.
Luo Lingsheng handed over Shi Yunnan's belongings and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where do you work? I'll send someone to pick you up later?"
"No need, Mr. Luo."
Shi Yunnan bit the last three words very hard.
"..."
Luo Lingsheng was speechless.
He has always been mature and stable, and he wanted to return to the day in the training room for the first time.
Shi Yunnan saw Luo Lingsheng's vaguely 'beaten' appearance, and the corners of his mouth bent quickly unconsciously.
Different from dodging when he just went downstairs, he walked out of Luo's house very briskly.
Luo Lingsheng watched Shi Yunnan's back isolated by the door of the house, his mind was full of the other party's response not long ago, and his heart was full of unpleasantness.
From the day the two reached an agreement, Shi Yunnan took the initiative to shorten the distance between them again and again.
But now, the other party seems to have fallen back to the place without any attachment, and he realized that the mature plans in his heart were simply a mass of loose sand before the cognition that was about to be lost.
He wanted to grab the man in front of him.
This idea has remained in my heart from beginning to end.
Luo Lingsheng took off his glasses, rubbed his swollen and astringent eyes, and shouted loudly, "Qin Jian."
Qin Jian walked out of the cubicle quickly, "Check where Yunnan and Yuan's Lu Zhaoan work? Be careful, I'll pick him up in the afternoon."
Qin Jian answered without thinking, "Okay, the master."
…
Lu Zhaoan is a man of action, steady and decisive.
Now that he has decided to cooperate with emerging designers such as Shi Yunnan, he simply built a well-furnished office building near Linglong Market to facilitate the designers' daily work.
Of course, this work location is not mandatory.
Just because it is close to the jade market, it can be convenient for designers when sampling.
Lu Zhaoan showed Shi Yunan a brief tour of the office, "Your fingerprints have been entered at the gate. If you need it in the future, you can come over at any time."
Shi Yunan said, "Okay."
"I'll take you to the Yuanshi processing factory and jade warehouse? It's right behind Linglong Market."
Because when the market was first created, Yuanshi existed as an 'old club', so its own factory occupies a unique geographical advantage.
The two arrived at the Yuanshi Jade Factory within a few steps.
"The Yuan family has two processing plants in Dijing, one large and one small. The large one is used to process cut surfaces, and the small one is used for fine carving. In addition, there are jade carving studios distributed in large jade markets in various provinces."
All the jade carving ornaments sold by the shops with the 'Yuanshi' signboard are basically self-produced and sold. If their own rough stone stalls can produce good materials, the first demand is for their own jade carvers.
Shi Yunnan looked at the five outermost masters in charge of polishing jade beads and asked, "These are the jade beads for Lou's family?"
"Ok."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flamboyant tone sounded from the side, "Shi Yunnan, what are you doing here?"
Shi Yunnan recognized the owner of the voice right away, looked sideways, and sure enough it was Yuan Rui.
After a short period of time, the marks of being beaten on Yuan Rui's face have subsided, and now his eyes are drawn and bright.
"Xiao Rui, Shi Yunnan is a partner of our jade studio." Lu Zhaoan explained, "I need to bring him to visit the jade library and introduce it."
Yuan Rui still had an awkward attitude towards Lu Zhaoan, but turned his disbelieving gaze back to Shi Yunan, "Do you still understand jade design?"
But doesn't it mean that Shi Yunnan eats, drinks and has fun abroad all day long, and doesn't have any real skills that he can use
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows, "I know a little about fur, does the young master Yuan's expression distrust me?"
"I don't mean that." Yuan Rui immediately denied it.
He has suffered enough from Shi Yunnan, so he should keep his words from his mouth. He can't fall three times in the same person's pit.
Suddenly, Lu Zhaoan's cell phone rang, and shortly after he answered the call, his expression became solemn.
Yuan Rui, who had been watching him out of the corner of his eye, changed his eyes, and when he hung up the phone, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with the jade carving business in Lin Province, and I have to rush over to deal with it now." Lu Zhaoan looked at Shi Yunnan apologetically, "Mr. Shi, it may be another day..."
"What another day? It's all here, you don't have time to accompany you, why not someone else to introduce Shi Yunnan?" Yuan Rui interrupted.
Shi Yunnan heard the overtones and asked with a smile, "Master Yuan intends to introduce me?"
When Lu Zhaoan heard the words, he immediately turned his gaze to Yuan Rui.
Yuan Rui pretended to cough twice and muttered, "I'll come when I come, anyway, I can't go anywhere if I'm trapped here by my dad."
Yuan Rui was banned by Yuan Puguang. Only by clocking in at Yuan's Jade Factory for six hours a day could he get a certain amount of pocket money.
Day by day, the jade carving thing can't be done again, but it's suffocating him, so it's better to find something to do.
Lu Zhaoan showed a rare smile, "Mr. Shi, let Yuan Rui do it for him. He knows all about jade and is very professional."
Yuan Rui heard this affirmation, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly returned to the unhappy look of the boss.
Shi Yunnan has no opinion, not to mention Yuan Rui's presence, even he himself has researched on jade.
After Lu Zhaoan left, Yuan Rui stood up confidently, "Then what... Come with me, this young master will open your eyes."
After getting along a few times before, Shi Yunnan probably understood Yuan Rui's temperament.
He said that he wanted to introduce the Yuanshi Jade Warehouse to Shi Yunan, that is, a serious introduction without water.
The processing factory went further, and opened up five warehouses dedicated to placing jade. One room was connected to another room, and the area added together was large.
As one of the top brands in the jade industry, Yuanshi is naturally shocked by the number of top jades in his hands.
Yuan Rui is always from a jade family, and it is rare to be reliable in this respect.
The five warehouse rooms were introduced without any breath, and each piece of jade was thoroughly explained, and Shi Yunan added a lot of knowledge points.
Make people have to obey.
"Master Yuan knows a lot about jade? It's amazing." Shi Yunnan said sincerely.
Hearing this compliment, Yuan Rui's expression flashed with pride, and he pretended to be indifferent, "What's the use of knowing more? In my dad's eyes, it's not nothing, he only sees a jade carving expert like Lu Zhaoan."
Sometimes Yuan Rui often thinks that he is the child who was taken from the orphanage.
After years and months of blows, not to mention the rumors of outsiders, even Yuan Rui himself believed that he would not be able to live up to the slightest bit of Lu Zhaoan in his life.
Seeing the loneliness on Yuan Rui's face, Shi Yunnan suddenly remembered his ending in the original dream book—
Under the leadership of Xie Keyue, Yuan Rui has indeed developed Yuan's jade ornaments to the forefront of the industry, and he has inherited Yuan's jade ornaments smoothly.
"You haven't contacted Xie Keyue recently?" Shi Yunan asked.
"Why are you asking here? You and he are also family, and you still come to find out about me?" Yuan Rui instinctively became alert for a second when he heard his friend's name.
Shi Yunnan was speechless, "What are you afraid of? Afraid that I will eat you or eat him?"
"Who, who said I'm afraid?" Yuan Rui stuttered, "But there were a lot of bad things going on some time ago."
The money invested in the cosmetics industry was wasted, not only that, but also lost a lot of money one after another, and even he was brought to the investigation by the relevant departments.
Hearing that this alarmed Mr. Shi, the other party asked for a relationship before taking him home, and after closing the door, he was reprimanded again.
Yuan Rui knew about Xie Keyue's recent situation, and he also changed his views on Shi Yunnan, but he would not tell Shi Yunnan the privacy of his friends.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded.
Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui looked sideways at the same time, and could not help but sigh that Cao Cao Cao Cao is so effective as this saying—
Under the leadership of the jade carving master, Xie Keyue, who had not seen him for a long time, suddenly appeared at the door.
When the three saw each other's figures, the air seemed to freeze suddenly.
"Ke Yue, why are you here?"
Yuan Rui approached his friend, but he couldn't help looking away from Shi Yunnan, feeling inexplicably guilty of being a sea king.
It seems that he has betrayed his friendship with Xie Keyue, and has developed an intersection with Shi Yunan in private.
"Didn't you say it's boring to be locked up in the jade factory by your father during this time? I came to see you after get off work, and there was something I wanted to talk to you about."
After Xie Keyue finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Shi Yunnan, "However, I didn't expect Yunnan to be here?"
Shi Yunnan smiled without saying a word.
The two of them are natural enemies, and there is no need to pretend to be kind for a while.
Yuan Rui noticed that the two were not dealing with each other, but he didn't favor Xie Keyue like the first nightclub meeting.
"I was so busy that I didn't even notice that it was almost time to get off work."
Yuan Rui put on Xie Keyue's shoulder and took the opportunity to change the subject, "Let's go, Keyue, today I'll take you to have a nice meal. Didn't you say you have something to talk to him about?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Xie Keyue time to interrupt, and set his eyes on Shi Yunnan.
"Are you leaving? Our jade factory leaves work on time at six o'clock, which coincides with the closing time of Linglong Market."
"Let's go first, I want to study it alone."
Each warehouse is monitored, and there are masters outside who are responsible for locking the door after get off work. Besides, Shi Yunnan's character will not act like a dog.
"Row."
Yuan Rui only wanted to separate the two, so as to avoid extraneous problems, so he agreed very neatly.
Xie Keyue observed the interaction between the two without a trace, and the eyes that fell on Shi Yunnan flickered darkly.
He suffered a big loss a while ago and did not want to provoke Shi Yunnan to repeat the same mistakes, so he followed Yuan Rui away without saying a word.
"Shi, Shi Yunan, pay attention to the time yourself." Yuan Rui reminded.
"understood."
After the two left, Shi Yunnan took out his phone and glanced at it.
Five fifty.
There are ten minutes left before work.
Suddenly, the WeChat interface belonging to Luo Lingsheng suddenly popped up. It was a ten-second speech that was different from the straightforward text in the past.
Shi Yunnan should obviously ignore it, but he still couldn't help but click on the voice.
"Are you done? I'll pick you up, okay?"
The soft-spoken tone that has never been seen before, and the meaning of coaxing people is obvious enough to make people fall into the heart.
No one around.
The corners of Shi Yunnan's mouth couldn't help bending and bending, as if he was disgusting himself, and at the same time, he was disgusting Luo Lingsheng who would say this.
what the hell
For a while, he said that he had crossed the line, and for a while he hid Bai Yueguang in his heart. Now, with the prestige of 'Luo's Patriarch', he took the initiative to approach him again and again
Shi Yunnan still didn't reply according to his own temperament, and there was only a trace of blood left on the phone's battery. He had to seize the time to pick out a piece of material as the base for his first attempt to design a jade necklace.
"There seems to be a piece in the innermost No. 5 material warehouse that is not bad..."
Shi Yunnan muttered to himself, and walked to the innermost room according to his memory. He found the slice of the imperial green he wanted, and by the way, he remembered the number in his heart.
Just as he turned around to leave, suddenly, there was a bang—
The lights overhead suddenly went out, and the entire warehouse fell into deathly darkness.
