Chapter 68 Love is Clean
Shen Shijing's gaze stayed on Ning Baicha for a longer time this time. He suddenly changed his sitting position, crossing his legs. Even when he looked up at Ning Baicha, there was a sense of condescension in his tone.
"eager to go?"
Ning Baicha swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and she shook her head slowly. She glanced at Shen Shijing shyly, and then quickly retracted her gaze: "You obviously know why I participated in this program in the first place."
Shen Shijing curled his lips, took out a card from his pocket, put it on the coffee table, and pushed it in the direction of Ning Baicha: "There is enough money in this."
But Ning Baicha didn't reach for the card right away, and even looked a little disappointed: "I made this mess, I can clean it up myself, I don't want your money. I've already taken what I should have."
If it were in the past, Ning Baicha might have really accepted it.
But after deeply analyzing Qiu's character attributes, she decided to give up the money.
Because in the eyes of many people, love is pure, but it is not so pure when money is involved.
Shen Shijing has already shown interest in her, but who knows, is Shen Shijing's behavior a test from time to time?
She couldn't ruin all her current plans.
"No need." Shen Shijing did not take the card, but stood up. He walked towards Ning Baicha, pinched her chin, forced her to look up, and gently rubbed her red lips with his thumb. "Ning Baicha, learn to be smarter. When it's time to learn to use the people and resources around you, learn to use them."
Ning Baicha bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, tears welling up in her eyes: "I like you, not use you."
Shen Shijing's heart paused, he leaned over and kissed her lips.
The kiss became deeper and deeper.
Ning Baicha's breathing was a little rapid. She raised her hand and wanted to hug Shen Shijing. The next second, her body was in the air. Shen Shijing picked her up in a princess hug and walked towards the bathroom.
A night of love.
The next day, Ning Baicha woke up with an arm across her waist.
Shen Shijing didn't leave.
The curtains were closed tightly, and the room was dim. It was impossible to tell what time it was. There was only a chance of light peeking in from the edge of the curtains.
Ning Baicha touched the phone next to the pillow and opened it. It was seven o'clock in the morning.
She moved slightly, trying to get out of bed, but the hand on her waist exerted force and directly pulled her into his arms. Shen Shijing's chest pressed against her back, and his voice was hoarse: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
"No." Ning Baicha protested quietly, "Director Chen has a meeting at 8:30. Also, Zhuzhu is already waiting downstairs."
Shen Shijing frowned. He was used to giving orders, and was very unhappy when his proposal was rejected for the first time. He did not loosen his hand around Ning Baicha's waist, and even tightened his grip. His tone was particularly tough: "Sleep a little longer!"
Ning Baicha suddenly turned around, raised her head and kissed him on the chin, her eyes sparkling: "Shi Jing, don't be angry, I'm leaving first, you can sleep for a while. There are dishes I made yesterday in the refrigerator. If you like them, just heat them up in the microwave in the morning."
Shen Shijing half opened his eyes, stunned by Ning Baicha's kiss and the sound of "Shijing".
Ning Baicha immediately crawled out of his arms, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and she tiptoed out the door.
The door closed with a click.
Shen Shijing lay down and looked at the ceiling, raised his hand and touched his lips, the next moment, he frowned again.
Ning Baicha took a long time to wash up. Before, when Shen Shijing stayed overnight here, she always prepared disposable items. But this time, she went downstairs to the small supermarket at the entrance of the community.
I chose a pair of couple tooth cups and a pair of couple toothbrushes, and also bought two towels, one blue and one red.
After Ning Baicha bought all the tea, she unpacked everything. Although she had already washed up, she still rinsed her toothbrush with water, washed her face, and used a towel.
After doing all this, she came out of the bathroom, took out Shen Shijing's favorite dish from the refrigerator, and put it in the microwave.
Ning Baicha went downstairs only after the time was set.
She hummed some music as she got into the car.
Zhuzhu glanced at her and said, "Sister, you are in a good mood today."
Ning Baicha smiled and said, "I guess so."
After being sent to the theater by Zhuzhu, Ning Baicha sent a message to Shen Shijing before getting off the car: The food has been heated in the microwave, you can eat it after you get up. There is a toothbrush and cup specially prepared for you in the bathroom, as well as a towel, don't use disposable ones.
During the rehearsal, Ning Baicha received a reply from Shen Shijing as expected: OK.
She took a screenshot and sent it to Ning Baixuan.
After about a minute, it withdrew again.
After doing all this, Ning Baicha went to rehearse.
They don't have much time left, only one week. After entering the countdown, it is obvious that everyone is extremely nervous.
Even Chang Mengyu and Xue Zixuan made mistakes several times.
Only Ning Baicha is still moving forward steadily.
Chen Ying was a little unhappy. During the break, she walked over to her and patted her shoulder: "How can you be so positive?"
During this time, Ning Baicha had become close friends with her. She couldn't help but smile: "Because I don't care about winning or losing, as long as I do my best, the result is not something I can decide."
"Nonsense! When doing something, of course you should aim to do it well."
"That's what I said." Ning Baicha took a sip of water, "But often the results of many things are beyond our control. Also, a setback may seem serious, but... after experiencing more setbacks, you will find that there are countless setbacks in life."
Chen Ying put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, you!"
"To be honest, as long as you are alive, you will definitely encounter countless things, and many things will even be beyond your control." Ning Baicha smiled, she looked down at her legs and said softly, "But it doesn't matter, as long as you are healthy, you will have the opportunity to start over at any time."
Xue Zixuan lay directly on the ground next to the two of them: "Sister Baicha, I think that even if you are not healthy, if you have a positive attitude, maybe a miracle will happen."
Ning Baicha raised his eyebrows: "Maybe."
Director Chen clapped his hands and said, "We'll go check out the venue tomorrow. The official performance will be next week. By then, the seven drama troupes will perform in turn. This time, the rankings will be determined, so everyone, come on."
Ning Baicha suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Director Chen, will the screenwriter attend?"
She couldn't remember the details, but she remembered that He Haimei suddenly fell ill at a press conference after the first performance.
In fact, Ning Baicha has always wanted to find a time to remind He Haimei to go for a physical examination, but she neither knows her nor has any way to contact her. She has been rehearsing for so long, but has never seen He Haimei appear in the rehearsal room.
