She was so scared that she almost threw her mobile phone out.
Unprepared.
The screams on the mobile phone lasted for more than ten seconds, and then someone hung up and a busy signal came.
Xin Gan was still shaken and quickly turned on all the lights in the studio. Only then did she feel better.
She picked up her mobile phone and checked it. The number was local. She tried to call it but couldn't get through.
I have no idea who played the prank.
Xin Gan consoled herself that it was just a coincidence. After a moment's pause, she took the car keys and bag and walked out of the studio.
Stepping out of the studio and getting into the car, she looked at the deserted street scene and still couldn't help but call Cheng Jiu's number on her mobile phone.
She really, really wanted to hear his voice. Maybe only by hearing his voice could she dispel the fear she had just felt.
There was a sound. Xin Gan broke the call button and lay on the steering wheel as if he had lost all his strength.
It's so late. He probably won't be able to answer.
Xin Gan didn't want to affect his work, so she decided not to look for him.
...
After getting home and resting all night, Xin Gan woke up the next day with a heavy head and light feet, difficulty in swallowing and a mild cough.
When having breakfast, Xin's father was also there. Seeing her gloomy complexion, he asked, "Did you come back very late last night?"
Xin Gan: "No."
"Is the studio very busy these days?" You don't look well.
I caught a little cold last night because of the wind.
If the studio is too busy, hire a few more people. Don't do everything by yourself. Xin's father stopped briefly and exchanged a few words. The topic then shifted to Cheng Jiu and asked her, "How is Cheng Jiu doing these days?" Why haven't I heard you mention him voluntarily?
Xin Gan was not very natural and said, "It should be okay."
"From your tone, it seems you don't know his situation." "
Xin Gan touched her ear and mentioned Cheng Jiu in front of her father, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She said, "Not really. It's just that we don't keep in touch much. I'm a bit busy."
"I have to be busy, but I still need to keep in touch." " Xin's father said so because his intention was for her own good.
Xin Gan was having breakfast while listening to him speak.
Father Xin: "Marriage requires the efforts of both parties to maintain. It can't be sustained by just one person. Xin Xin, Cheng Jiu is very kind to you. We can all see that. You can't let him give unilaterally. You also need to respond promptly. Only through this back-and-forth can it go on and go far."
"I see."
When you have time and are not busy, you should still take the initiative to call Cheng Jiu and support each other.
Despite saying so, Xin Gan still didn't call Cheng Jiu's mobile phone.
Not long after Xin Gan arrived at the studio that day, Shen Ruxin came with Coco.
The students all come to the studio in the afternoon. At this time, there are few people in the studio except for some teachers who are preparing lesson plans.
Xin Gan poured Coco a glass of juice and teased her.
Shen Ruxin took a look around and said, "Do you regret it?"
Xin Gan was puzzled and looked at Shen Ruxin with a puzzled expression.
"Give up immigration, give up everything abroad, return to Yongcheng, and start anew." Shen Ruxin had always wanted to ask her, but she hadn't found a suitable opportunity. There weren't many people now. Seeing Xin Gan's studio gradually get back on track, she was also happy. Finally, she could rest easy.
Xin Gan said, "I don't have any regrets. I'm just re-planning. What the future holds will always deviate from what I expected."
"Including marrying Cheng Jiu?" This is beyond your expectation.
Xin Gan smiled but said nothing.
Coco finished her juice, rubbed it over and clung to Xin Gan, Shouting, "Auntie, I want to eat bear cookies. I'm hungry."
Shen Ruxin pinched her cheek and said, "Why are you hungry? Didn't you have lunch? You're still hungry."
Coco pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Mom is naughty. She's cutting Coco's snacks. Auntie is still better. Coco is going to sleep with Auntie tonight."
Shen Ruxin was speechless: "As for you lackey, you always try to please Auntie, but not tonight. Auntie is busy. Let's play with Auntie another day."
Coco was not happy and began to SOB pitifully. There was only thunder but no rain. Her expression was sad and she didn't shed a single tear.
Xin Gan took the candy to comfort her. Coco was happy only when she saw the candy.
Shen Ruxin shook her head helplessly and said to Xin Gan, "Do you still remember that Xiao Han?"
Xiao Han?
Xin Gan nodded. "What's wrong?"
Didn't you have a bad time with her at Songchen's company before? Is she giving you trouble? Shen Ruxin had been to the company before. The HR director of the company was even her friend. It was very easy for her to want to know what was going on.
Xin Gan said, "Cousin, do you know everything?"
"Could you not know? Do you really think I'm just a housewife and know nothing?" "
Xin Gan smiled.
That Xiaohan made a fool of herself at the company a few days ago. The company is going to fire her.
Xin Gan had never paid attention to such news since she left her job. Suddenly, she was somewhat surprised to hear Shen Ruxin bring it up.
"Those who said you got into the company through a backdoor and slandered you as a mistress are all Xiao Han. I should have thought at that time that with your personality, you would surely be bullied if you entered the company, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. No matter what, it will take some time. This Xiao Han is no easy person to deal with, and neither are you. You didn't tell me about this at the first moment and just suffered in vain at the company." "
Xiao Han hooked up with a vice president of the company and sent ambiguous text messages. The vice president's wife found out. His wife went directly to the company, called the HR department, and fired her by name. Yesterday, Song Chen told me about this and asked me what you were doing now.
With a bittersweet feeling, she doesn't sympathize with Xiao Han at all. This is also the result of her own efforts.
Shen Ruxin patted Xin Gan on the shoulder and said, "I know you're not the type to cause trouble, but sometimes, being too silent will definitely get you bullied."
Xin Gan pursed her lips and suddenly thought of Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang thought she was easy to bully at first. He was so arrogant in front of her that he looked down on her everywhere.
I'm going back to this meeting now. I have no idea about Jiang Tang...
Not long after getting married, they were in different places. It's not good after all. Their relationship wasn't particularly stable either. She wasn't sure if Cheng Jiu could resist the temptation and if...
Xin Gan couldn't help but let her mind wander. This was completely unlike her personality.
Indecisive and hesitant.
Even when he had developed feelings for Cheng Jiu, he dared not admit it.
She had too many concerns. If she wasn't careful, she still failed.
...
After seeing off Shen Ruxin and Coco, she was busy until late at night. All the students in the studio had left, and so had the other employees. Only Xin Gan sat in the small office for a very long time.
Finally, she dialed Cheng Jiu's mobile phone number.
But he didn't answer. She guessed that he must be busy.
A few minutes later, Cheng Ju called back.
Xin Gan's heart was pounding like thunder. This time, she had no choice but to answer.
"Xin Gan?"
Xin Gan frowned, filled with countless worries. For a moment, she found it hard to express them and could only respond very lightly, "Yes."
What's up? It was so late. I called him, but he hung up after one ring. Clearly, there was something to do. Cheng Jiu walked to the corner, slightly softened his voice, and all his words condensed into one sentence: "You're still awake so late."
Xin Gan lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and her eyes sparkled.
Why aren't you saying anything? Cheng Jiu asked again.
Xin Gan was dazzled by his gentle voice and blurted out, asking him, "I don't know why, but suddenly I really want to hear your voice."
When she said this, she immediately felt embarrassed and a little spoiled.
Which kind of sound do you listen to, eh?
What other voices do you have?
There are quite a lot you haven't heard of. Cheng Jiu was about to take a bath in the bathroom. He took off his shirt and just turned on the tap when he heard his phone ring. He came out and took a look at it. It was sweet and sour. He didn't even take a bath and stood by the window to answer the phone. "What kind of scene do you need? I'll give you a live job."
Xin Gan is an adult. How could he tell what he was saying?
She pinched her ear and said, "OK. You come."
"Really here?" His voice is pleasant and he has a smile.
"Well, really come." She wasn't panicked anymore and became bolder, joking with him.
Cheng Jiu took a drag on his cigarette and slowly exspat it out, "Keep the real gun/real bullet when we meet. Don't beg me then."
Xin Gan's face turned red and he coughed. He didn't know why, but the conversation went off track and he couldn't turn back.
The two were silent for a while. After a while, Cheng Jiu said, "I probably won't be able to contact you for a while. If you need anything, ask He Chuan for help."
Xin Gan: "How long will a period of time be?"
"Uncertain."
Xin Gan no longer asked, "Have all the injuries on your body healed?"
"All right."
Then you should pay attention to safety.
"Um." He had nothing to explain. Anyway, every time he took action, he had to write a suicide note. Before meeting Xin Gan, he never wrote one. Meng Shanchang jumped up several times to hit him, but he still refused. This time it was different. He had to write one and give Xin Gan an explanation.
He has developed faith, someone he cares about, and a weakness. He can no longer be as indifferent as before.
Xin Gan couldn't help but worry, her voice shaking: "Cheng Jiu, remember, I'll be waiting for you in Yongcheng to come back."
Cheng Jiu's Adam's apple tightened. The smoke was stuck in his chest and couldn't be relieved. He said, "I'll be back. Don't worry."
It's really getting late. Xin Gan said, "Then you should go to bed early. Good night."
"Um."
