Chapter 82: Toys to Keep for Fun

Shen Shijing suddenly crossed his arms and looked at Ning Baicha, wanting to know what she would say next.

Ning Baicha was seen biting her lower lip lightly, with a somewhat conflicted look on her face, and she had many small facial expressions and movements.

She secretly raised her eyes to look at Shen Shijing several times, and happened to meet Shen Shijing's eyes every time, and then quickly looked away.

"You'll be a judge?" Ning Baicha picked up the water bottle again, sipped the water, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Shen Shijing lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Do you know now?"

"Yeah." Ning Baicha pursed her lips, "I just found out."

She looked a little uneasy.

Shen Shijing was about to say "You look very uneasy", but then he thought of something and didn't say it. He just looked at Ning Baicha coldly.

After a brief pause, Ning Baicha spoke cautiously, "You will be a fair and impartial judge, right?"

The corners of Shen Shijing's lips were slightly curled, with no expression on his face. He just stared at Ning Baicha quietly.

The latter waited for a while, but when there was no response from Shen Shijing, he raised his head and looked at him eagerly, with a somewhat pitiful look.

"Not necessarily." Shen Shijing said.

Ning Baicha was stunned. This expression didn't seem to be fake, but seemed to be expressed from the heart. She stared at Shen Shijing for a long time, feeling a little panicked, but the panic that appeared on her face only lasted for a few seconds.

"What does 'not necessarily' mean?" she asked again.

Shen Shijing raised one eyebrow, looking a little distant: "I'm just not sure, it depends on my mood."

"It depends..." Ning Baicha paused, "It depends on my mood?"

Shen Shijing nodded: "Yeah."

Ning Baicha bit the soft flesh in her mouth. She had not expected Shen Shijing to react like this. She was stunned for a moment before she said, "Mr. Shen does things based on his mood?"

"Yeah." Shen Shijing's expression was indifferent, but if you looked closely, you could see the mockery in his eyes.

Ning Baicha was speechless for a moment, but fortunately she reacted quickly. She did not continue to dwell on this issue, but lowered her head, looking even more pitiful: "Oh, I know."

Shen Shijing crossed his arms and tapped his right elbow lightly with the fingers of his left hand.

"But Xuanxuan is in the crew next door..." Ning Baicha hesitated to speak. She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Shijing with tearful eyes.

If it was before, maybe Shen Shijing might really be touched.

But now, he just tilted his head slightly, and his gaze on Ning Baicha was more of an inquiry: "Do you think I will choose the crew that Ning Baixuan is in?"

"You can't?" Ning Baicha even had a little nasal tone when he said this.

Shen Shijing smiled: "Maybe."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Ning Baicha was left alone with the computer down.

Not...what do you mean?

No, no, why is Shen Shijing acting so weird today?

Ning Baicha stared at Shen Shijing's back until he disappeared without coming back to her senses. She bit her lower lip gently, and this time her brows were really furrowed in confusion.

On that day, the Yimeng crew parted ways with the theater.

Ning Baicha was sent downstairs by Zhuzhu. Before going upstairs, she sent a message to Shen Shijing, but Shen Shijing did not reply to her, let alone pay attention to her.

Not sure what is being done.

Ning Baicha returned home, made herself a fat-reducing meal, then sat on the sofa and randomly found a variety show to watch to relax her tense nerves.

Until the evening rest time, Shen Shijing still didn't reply to her message.

Ning Baicha felt inexplicably frightened.

A slight feeling of uneasiness arose in my heart.

She threw herself onto the bed, not allowing herself to think too much.

Shen Shijing's abnormal behavior today is most likely due to other things and should have nothing to do with her.

Or did Ning Baicha provoke Shen Shijing?

Ning Baicha turned over and sat up. She was a little confused about whether to send a message to Ning Baixuan, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

After all, the competition is just around the corner, so it’s better not to cause any other trouble.

Ning Baicha forced himself to close his eyes.

However, this uneasy feeling continued into the rehearsal the next day, causing her to make some mistakes in her performance.

The assistant director called her aside and said, "Bai Cha, you have always been the least worrying actor in the Yi Meng Troupe, but don't be nervous before going on stage. There is nothing to be nervous about. You were not nervous when facing the camera before, so you should not be nervous when facing these audiences now."

"Sorry, assistant director, I will mediate it." Ning Baicha smiled at the assistant director apologetically.

The assistant director patted her on the shoulder and said, "Just keep it in mind."

During lunch, Ning Baicha took out his cell phone again and sent a message to Shen Shijing as usual.

This time Shen Shijing replied, but gave her a location and room number.

It is positioned as a high-end restaurant not far from the theater.

Ning Baicha took a look at the lunch box in her hand, which was not much in it, and realized that Shen Shijing asked her to find him.

After putting down the lunch box, Ning Baicha and Chang Mengyu informed Shen Shijing and went there according to the location and room number he sent her.

Xue Zixuan just happened to pass by her. He finally mustered up the courage to say hello to her, but Ning Baicha acted as if he didn't see her and just walked past her.

Seeing her bewildered look, Xue Zixuan thought for a moment and followed her with some concern.

The restaurant that Shen Shijing sent to Ning Baicha was not far away, only about five or six hundred meters away.

Ning Baicha quickly found the room number.

She knocked on the door and it opened.

What came into view was not a box with only Shen Shijing, but a box with many people sitting in it.

Shen Shijing was sitting in the innermost part, in the C position.

Ning Baicha walked in and her eyes met Shen Shijing's.

Everyone in the box turned around to look at Ning Baicha.

"Isn't this...Xuanxuan?"

"Xuanxuan, this way."

"Xuanxuan, are you still Mr. Shen's little follower? Haven't you two made any substantial progress yet?"

"Boss Shen, you are too unkind. You invite Xuanxuan to this kind of occasion. She smokes and drinks, which is a bad example for Xuanxuan."

Ning Baicha pursed her lips, somewhat unsure of Shen Shijing's meaning, and just looked at him.

Shen Shijing waved to her.

Ning Baicha then walked over, but when she got closer, she found that there was no empty seat next to Shen Shijing, so she could only stand.

However, Shen Shijing pushed the chair back a distance, patted his thigh, and motioned Ning Baicha to sit down.

Ning Baicha's face turned pale. She had never sat in front of so many people before. She evaded the question, "Boss Shen..."

"Competition." Shen Shijing said calmly.

Ning Baicha thought of He Haimei lying on the hospital bed, and also thought of Director Chen, the assistant director, Chen Ying, and others. She took a deep breath and sat on Shen Shijing's lap with a stiff face.

Everyone in the room burst into boos and sighs again.

"Boss Shen and Xuanxuan are doing well."

Shen Shijing interrupted the other party in time and put his arm around Ning Baicha's waist: "This is Ning Baixuan's twin sister, Ning Baicha."

Everyone's expression changed immediately.

"Just a toy for fun." Shen Shijing said casually again.
