Chapter 84 Prying the corner
Shen Shijing supported his temple with one hand and looked at her lazily.
I was not surprised at all by Ning Baicha's words.
But he didn't intend to let Ning Baicha go so easily. After a brief silence, Shen Shijing said, "Wait a moment, I'll go back with you."
Ning Baicha said "oh", nodded, and walked out the door obediently.
As soon as she went out and closed the door, people who had just been reluctant to discuss things in front of her immediately began to talk in low voices.
"Boss Shen has a way of training his little lover. He actually made her so obedient."
"As expected of Mr. Shen, only Mr. Shen can make Xiao Qinger so obedient."
"I see that Ning Baicha obeys Mr. Shen in everything. What should I do if I don't want to play anymore and want to leave?"
"Yes, being obedient is a good thing, but being too obedient may not be a good thing."
"Mr. Shen, be careful. The closer you are to someone, the more trouble you'll have."
"Shi Jing is not afraid of being trapped by love, but he is afraid that when the time comes, he doesn't want to play with Ning Baicha anymore, but she still pesters you. By then, Ning Baixuan will be unhappy, and it will be troublesome."
"Yes, Ning Baicha and Ning Baixuan are twins. If Mr. Shen wants to do something with Ning Baixuan in the future, when he returns home, won't he have to... see Ning Baicha? If Ning Baixuan knew about your past... it would be hard to explain."
"That's secondary. I have a tricky question for Mr. Shen. If you are with Ning Baixuan and Ning Baicha finds another man... Wouldn't it be too..."
"You men are still trying to steal someone else's girlfriend, stop saying these disgusting things!"
"That's right, it's not like a woman can only find one man in her life."
The expression on Shen Shijing's face faded. He put the water cup in his hand on the table with a thud and said coldly, "Let's go."
Then, regardless of the people around him trying to keep him, he just walked out.
When I opened the door, I saw Ning Baicha standing outside the door with his head down, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression seemed a little confused.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice Shen Shijing coming out.
It was rare for Shen Shijing to see this expression on her face, so he crossed his arms over his chest, leaned lazily against the door frame, his eyes falling on Ning Baicha.
A minute passed.
Three minutes passed.
Ning Baicha's frown became more and more obvious.
Seeing that she still hadn't come back to her senses, Shen Shijing walked towards her and asked calmly, "What are you thinking about?"
"Mr. Shen...Mr. Shen?" Ning Baicha was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She looked at Shen Shijing, "Have you finished eating?"
"Yeah." Shen Shijing's mood didn't seem good. "Let's go."
After he said that, he walked straight up to Ning Baicha.
Ning Baicha stared at Shen Shijing's back for a while before jogging to catch up with him.
Until they returned to the theater, Ning Baicha didn't find a chance to ask Shen Shijing the question he wanted to ask, or rather, she actually didn't know what to ask.
Today's rehearsal was very intense. Yimeng has two rehearsals.
We have completed one rehearsal this morning and are now waiting for the second one.
Backstage, everyone was more or less nervous, except for the main creators, and even the dancers who had just graduated from school and came to participate in the competition were constantly cheering each other on.
Since they all just graduated, you can clearly see the excitement on their faces.
Ning Baicha was not in the mood to feel anxious at the moment. Shen Shijing's abnormal behavior today made her a little uneasy.
She was originally 50% sure that Shen Shijing would not be confused in such a situation, but considering Shen Shijing's reaction today, it was hard to say.
The reason is very simple.
Because Shen Shijing can afford the compensation.
For drama actors like them, a dream is particularly important because they are the leading actors and are engaged in this industry.
But for Shen Shijing, a big capitalist, he has so many industries under his name, and it is just a small drama. If he loses, he loses.
When Ning Baicha feels uneasy, she will subconsciously bite her lips, and her lips will be bitten, leaving a bloody taste in her mouth.
Chen Ying was looking at the personality of her character. She glanced over and saw Ning Baicha's expression. She blinked and said, "Chacha, you look quite uneasy."
Ning Baicha came back to his senses: "No...no."
"Really?" Chen Ying blinked. She was actually quite slow to grasp the emotions of many people. She said "Oh" and nodded. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she asked, "By the way, Cha Cha, have you found any good way to communicate with Shen Shijing?"
Ning Baicha sighed: "Let me think about it."
Seeing Shen Shijing's abnormal reaction, she really needed to be careful. She couldn't figure out what Shen Shijing was thinking at this moment.
Did Ning Baixuan say something?
Not right either.
Where is the problem?
Ning Baicha was unsure. If she knew why Shen Shijing suddenly changed, she would be prepared and could think of countermeasures in advance.
But it’s not working now.
"The competition will be held tomorrow." Chen Ying also knew that this matter was a bit embarrassing for Ning Baicha, but there was no other way at the moment. Yimeng was the result of the hard work of many people, and she just hoped that Shen Shijing could make the judgment as fairly as possible.
Ning Baicha frowned slightly, and glanced at the people waiting to go on stage behind the stage. Her heart sank.
She had been rehearsing with the Yimeng crew for so long and had already become friends with these people. She thought of He Haimei lying on the hospital bed and Director Chen.
Ning Baicha gritted his teeth.
"I'll make an appointment with him tonight."
Chen Ying was quite embarrassed: "Otherwise, I'll go with you."
"No thanks." Ning Baicha refused immediately.
But Chen Ying was a very particular person. She said she wanted to accompany Ning Baicha and insisted that she must not be left alone to find Shen Shijing.
"Actually, this matter concerns the entire Yimeng, and we can't let you go alone." Chen Ying clapped her hands, "Then it's decided. I'll go with you. How about this, let's treat Shen Shijing to a meal and discuss this matter with him!"
Ning Baicha sighed: "Really, there's no need."
"It's decided!" Chen Ying ignored her refusal and simply made the final decision.
Ning Baicha was a little bit amused.
However, Chen Ying did not have Shen Shijing's contact information, and Shen Shijing probably didn't know Chen Ying either, so Ning Baicha was not worried that Chen Ying would really ask Shen Shijing out.
She just looked at Chen Ying and let her make a fuss.
But Ning Baicha never expected that Chen Ying would actually run directly to Shen Shijing who was rehearsing in the referee's seat.
When Ning Baicha was pulled in front of Shen Shijing, she hadn't reacted yet. The next second, she heard Chen Ying say to Shen Shijing, "Mr. Shen, our Cha Cha wants to treat you to a meal."
