Ruan Yesheng propped himself up on the bed and sat up immediately.
Joy filled her from the inside out, Ruan Yesheng touched the screen with her hand, and immediately began to type to reply. But in the next moment, she suddenly stopped again, thought about it, and stopped typing.
She grabbed a soft pillow and held it in her arms, her chin resting on the pillow, still holding the phone, thinking that Xi Mo would send her a message because she thought she was asleep now. If Xi Mo sent it earlier, he would definitely chat with her for a while. Xi Mo might be worried that it would disturb her rest, so he chose to send it now.
Judging from Xi Mo's instructions before going out, considering that she was really tired, she should have hoped that she would go to bed earlier today. If she replies, it means that she is not asleep yet, and looks like... not very well behaved.
In fact, she still hoped that she could leave a good impression in front of Xi Mo.
Even pretending is fine.
So Ruan Yesheng put down the phone, but the pillow was still clutched. She buried her face in the pillow for a while, and then she felt a little ridiculous, why she thought so much. But she just couldn't stop herself from thinking about it. Every time she encountered something related to Xi Mo, her mind could go around countless circles.
Ruan Yesheng fell asleep in this undulating mind.
The next morning, as soon as the alarm clock rang, she woke up immediately, and the first thing she did was pick up the phone to reply to Xi Mo's message. She typed in the input box: "I slept early yesterday, and I only saw it now..."
Ruan Yesheng entered here, and suddenly felt a little lack of confidence.
She is very natural in front of others, and she doesn't know what embarrassment is. If she does lie for some reason, she never needs a draft to tell a lie. But in front of Xi Mo, she just couldn't do that. Lying in front of Xi Mo not only made her feel guilty, she even felt a little ashamed.
Ruan Yesheng changed her mind, deleted the nonsense words she entered, and sent another one: "Good morning, then I'll be waiting for your breakfast."
She avoided mentioning when she slept last night, which made her feel more at ease, and went to wash and tidy up.
The work of the crew was very busy every day. It was the norm to go out early and return late. When Ruan Yesheng went out to take the car, it was just dawn. It was very early in the morning, the air was still cool in the early morning, and the sky was covered with a thin red glow. Ruan Yesheng opened the car window and looked out, and the morning breeze blew her comfortably.
Ruan Yesheng arrived on the set in a good mood. Seeing that Xi Mo arrived earlier than her and was waiting for her in the dressing room, she was in a better mood.
Xi Mo was sitting on the sofa looking at her phone, but when she saw her coming in, she put away her phone, walked to the small table beside the sofa, and said, "Sit here."
With two bags on the table, Ruan Yesheng sat down and said with a smile, "What kind of breakfast did you buy?"
Xi Mo opened the bag, took out all kinds of breakfast, and put it in front of Ruan Yesheng for her to choose: "I bought it in a morning tea shop, I have eaten it before, and I think it tastes good. I bought some kinds of breakfast that you like, you can try it and see. Does it suit your taste?"
Before Xi Mo asked her what dishes and meals she liked to eat, Ruan Yesheng answered, but she didn't expect Xi Mo to remember it just after hearing it once. In fact, these preferences may only be trivial and trivial to many people, even if they listen to them, but Xi Mo actually takes them to heart.
Ruan Yesheng looked at the name of the shop printed on the take-out bag. She also knew this morning tea shop, which was some distance away from the hotel. She could bring it back early at this time, but she remembered how early it was.
Seeing that Ruan Yesheng seemed to be in a trance and didn't move, Xi Mo reminded in a low voice, "There will be more people in the dressing room later."
They arrived early today, and it's not time to put on makeup yet, and the surroundings are very quiet. However, as long as people arrived one after another, it would inevitably be noisy and chaotic when he was busy. Ruan Yesheng didn't want to have breakfast with Xi Mo in that kind of environment, so he quickly took a crystal shaomai and put it in his mouth, took a bite , still warm.
She smiled and said, "It's delicious."
Xi Mo also started eating. The strict tutoring made her develop a habit, and she seldom spoke during meals.
Ruan Yesheng asked her, "Can I chat with you while eating?"
Xi Mo: "..."
When Ruan Yesheng asked her, she was smiling, but she could see the seriousness inside, and Xi Mo said, "Yes."
"Then will you be uncomfortable?"
Xi Mo shook his head: "No. It's mainly because my dad asked me since he was a child, and it has become a habit. If my dad is at the dining table, I basically don't open my mouth, so eating with my dad used to be boring. But Now that I am with you, it doesn't matter, you can say whatever you want, don't worry about it."
Ruan Yesheng nodded: "That's good."
Xi Mo looked at her and said, "I know that most people like to chat when they eat. Don't think that I don't talk much when I eat, but I don't like that, but it's not. People are busy with work, and people may only be at the dining table. I can relax with my family and friends for a while. This time is very comfortable, and I can eat and chat without any restraint. It is a very happy experience, and I am very envious.”
It was rare for Ruan Yesheng to hear her say such words, and she was a little surprised, and found that the light in her eyes was indeed a little envious and yearning.
Talking while eating is a problem that most ordinary people in society don’t think about at all, because it happens so naturally, it’s so natural that it’s like drinking water when you’re thirsty, and eating when you’re hungry. , do you still need to think about it? At any restaurant, you can see people chatting while eating. Even in a high-end restaurant that pays attention to quietness, many customers will still whisper politely without disturbing other customers. After all, it takes time to eat. It would be embarrassing if the diners didn't communicate with each other during this time.
It was so simple that Xi Mo felt envious. It was not difficult for Ruan Yesheng to imagine how lonely Xi Mo was before.
"When you and your father eat together, don't you two chat from beginning to end?" Ruan Yesheng asked her.
Small Book Pavilion
"Basically, unless something is necessary."
Ruan Yesheng comforted: "Your father may just be not good at expressing in front of you, or maybe he doesn't really care about dining etiquette so strictly. I remember when I went to the manor with you before, I found that he actually knew how to Chat, after all, he is a businessman, I think the art of any language is the rest in his hands."
She looked at Xi Mo and laughed again: "You and your father have some similarities in personality. In this case, it's actually even more difficult to communicate. Someone has to start first, otherwise the deadlock cannot be broken. You also know you now. Dad actually cares about you very much, and he is no longer afraid of him, so when you go back to the manor to see him in the future, you can try to chat with him, and he will definitely respond happily."
When Xi Mo heard Ruan Yesheng's words, he actually thought it was reasonable, but he still said, "My dad won't respond happily, and I rarely see him happy."
"He is happy in his heart. He can be happy in his heart, but he doesn't have to show it on his face." Ruan Yesheng glanced at Xi Mo: "Aren't you the same?"
Xi Mo: "..."
"Then can you see if I'm happy now?" Xi Mo also stared at Ruan Yesheng and said with a sullen expression.
Ruan Yesheng didn't speak, his eyes fluttered.
She really can't see it.
I don't know why, in the past, she could actually figure out Xi Mo's ideas, but now it's getting harder and harder. She doesn't know what Xi Mo is thinking, so sometimes she will come up with an idea that she thinks is strange. , that is, Xi Mo may have noticed something, and deliberately hid what he was thinking, and no longer let her see it.
... Did Xi Mo sense her intentions
That's why it's so hard to fathom.
Ruan Yesheng felt that he began to fall into a vicious circle of imagination again. People with secret crushes are always humble and sensitive, and they like to speculate on the other person's mind, so it is easy to have many misunderstandings in these random thoughts, and she is inevitable.
The unavoidable reason is also simple.
Because she likes her.
As long as the feelings she likes are still there, no matter how rational she is, it is difficult to control those chaotic emotions deep in her heart.
"I don't see it, I don't have the ability." Ruan Yesheng smiled and changed the subject calmly: "Except when you are eating with your father, you basically don't talk, what about other times?"
Xi Mo lives in her own house. Throughout the year, she works outside the home, or sometimes returns to the Xijia Manor to visit her father, and the rest of the time is at home.
Xi Mo said: "I don't talk about it at work. Apart from Lu Qingming, there are all kinds of assistants around. They know my previous habits and usually don't disturb me when I eat. When I go home, except for the helper aunt who is responsible for the housework, I live alone, eat alone, and no one chats with me."
I will accompany you later.
Ruan Yesheng looked at Xi Mo, and the words in his heart seemed to be about to burst into his throat, but he still held back. Her eyes drooped, and she silently stuffed a snack into her mouth, blocking it.
"But it's different now. In order to adapt to your status, I also have to often chat with your friends while eating, just like Tangtang and Yan Tinghuan, in fact, there is nothing I am not used to. Sometimes, I I feel that life is not bad now, it's very lively, and they are actually pretty good."
When Xi Mo said this, he looked directly into Ruan Yesheng's eyes and said softly, "Of course, you are also very good."
The chopsticks in Ruan Yesheng's hand paused, and his heart became more and more happy.
She felt that Xi Mo was very different from before. However, she still thinks that Xi Mo may have always been like this, but Xi Mo was not very close to people before, and others could not get close to her to understand her. Now, as the distance with her is getting closer, her real side is soft and soft. It gradually emerged.
Ruan Yesheng was happy, and asked a question with great interest: "Why did you bring me breakfast?"
Xi Mo said: "Actually, I brought it to you yesterday, but you asked for leave and didn't eat, so I had to make up for it today."
Ruan Yesheng: "..."
"If you don't finish things, don't make up for them, don't you feel uncomfortable?" Ruan Yesheng responded with a light hum: "It's still like wood, you don't know how to chat."
When Xi Mo heard this, he looked at her and said very directly, "I want to bring it to you."
Ruan Yesheng: "..."
"Will you chat now? Or is it wood?" Xi Mo asked her.
Ruan Yesheng seemed to be hit by the wood suddenly, and when he hit it, flowers suddenly bloomed inside and out, which was very useful. She didn't say anything, but took a bite to show her joy, and then added: "This is so delicious, if you bring me breakfast later, I'm afraid I can't live without you—"
Xi Mo glanced at her.
Ruan Yesheng smiled: "—I can't live without your breakfast."
Xi Mo: "..."
After the two of them had breakfast, other members of the crew walked in after a while. Some of them had not had time to eat breakfast, so they hurriedly sat around the table and ate in a hurry. Others were busy getting ready to dress up. . A few people whispered gossip while they were busy, as if they were talking about something, and their faces were strange.
Today, Feng Tangtang didn't need to prepare breakfast, so he went out to buy while the temperature in the early morning had not risen yet. She went out early, and it was not too late when she arrived on the set. When she entered the dressing room, Xi Mo was already ready, Ruan Yesheng's makeup and hairstyle were much more complicated, and there were still some steps left to finish.
Feng Tangtang walked over and said to Ruan Yesheng, "Sister Xi, what do you want to eat at noon? Today's ingredients are quite fresh, and I even bought a fish."
After talking about what she bought today, Ruan Yesheng sat on the chair and let the dresser behind her do the styling for her. According to what Feng Tangtang said, she reported the name of the dish.
Feng Tangtang asked Xi Mo again, "Where's Ruan Ruan?"
Xi Mo also ordered a dish.
The dresser smiled and said, "Tangtang's craftsmanship is so good, when will we also dip a little light and eat a small stove?"
There are countless crews in the circle, and the situation is also different. The crew gets along very well. There is very little estrangement between the director, leading actors, supporting roles, and behind-the-scenes staff, so they speak casually and jokes are often made.
"Welcome anytime, but remember to book in advance." Feng Tangtang also said with a smile.
Although she was simple, she also knew that the crew would not come over to eat together, it was all a joke, and she answered politely.
Seeing that Xi Mo's costumes were changed, and there was nothing else to do for the time being, Feng Tangtang started talking to Xi Mo.
She talked about some things she went shopping for today, and later, her voice became lighter: "Ruan Ruan, in fact, I could have come back earlier, but the road I usually pass through is blocked, so I have no choice but to Back on the detour."
One of the gossip people heard it before, and interjected: "Yes, it's very blocked, and I also detoured. Tangtang, did you see that too?"
As soon as Feng Tangtang heard that someone had the same experience as her, he immediately said, "I just looked outside the crowd, but I didn't dare to go in and take a closer look. I was afraid."
"What happened?" Xi Mo frowned.
Feng Tangtang whispered: "On that road this morning, people died."
