Gentle to the Bone - Chapter 30

Lu Jingce went to Z city to hold a financial summit. Shen Yansheng was bored at home and arranged the bedroom.

I bought a new fragrance, and even went to the mall to buy a new nightdress.

Said to be a nightdress, in fact, it has a little bit of fun.

She suddenly figured out something recently.

No matter who Lu Jingce takes her as a substitute, she is the one who is with Lu Jingce now.

She suddenly didn’t want to investigate whether Lu Jingce liked her at all. What if he likes her, what if he doesn’t like her, as long as Lu Jingce doesn’t let go, she will be with him for the rest of her life.

In that case, it’s better to pretend that you don’t know anything and be happy together.

If you don’t think about many things, you won’t be sad.

She originally thought that Lu Jingce would come back after the financial summit. On Saturday, she even got up early in the morning to study the recipe, thinking about waiting for Lu Jingce to come back in the evening and cook for him in person.

Who knew that at noon, Lu Jingce called and said that he was going to Shanghai for a business trip and would come back a few days later.

The enthusiasm for cooking disappeared in an instant, and he put down the recipe a little sullenly, lay down on the pillow, and said, “Okay.”

After a pause, he said, “Don’t be too tired.”

Lu Jingce said “um”, there seemed to be someone talking to him over there, and hung up the phone after answering this.

On this afternoon, when Shen Yansheng was drawing design drafts at home, he suddenly received a call from the design competition organizing committee, and solemnly apologized to her, saying that there was a lady named Lin Jiayi who provided video evidence that could Proving that Zhang Siqi completely copied her design, the organizing committee decided to cancel Zhang Siqi’s design gold award and forever prohibit her from participating in any domestic and foreign design competitions in the future.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yansheng immediately went online to check the news reports this morning. The news that Zhang Siqi plagiarized her design and won the award was topped the trending search. She clicked it and found that the discussion in the comment area was very hot.

Someone said: “When I saw the dress she designed at the time, I felt very familiar, very similar to the dress Wan Wan wore on the red carpet when she attended the film festival a while ago.”

Someone immediately posted: “Yes! It’s really similar, it feels like a style.”

“As we all know, most of Wanwan’s latest dresses and private clothes are from the hands of new designer Shen Yansheng.”

A fan of Wanwan replied: “Hahaha, we Wanwan and Miss Shen are good friends, and a while ago someone photographed the two of them shopping together.”

“He Zhiwanwan, recently the entertainment industry has become a trend of Shen Yansheng. Many popular female stars wear dresses designed by Shen Yansheng to attend various evening parties and award ceremonies.”

“One thing to say, it’s really good-looking, so I think when some celebrity stylists have such high aesthetics.”

“But I heard that Shen Yansheng’s recent schedule is not easy to make an appointment. I have a sister who is an assistant to a certain actress. A while ago, I wanted to make an appointment with Shen Yansheng’s dress, but she didn’t accept it.”

“It shows that people are not short of money at all.”

Another person posted a few sets of comparison pictures, “Come here, show the facts and tell the evidence, the left is the catwalk model designed by Zhang Siqi when he was the design director of M brand last year, the middle is her award-winning work this year, and the right is Shen Yansheng from last year to this year. It can only be said that anyone with long eyes can see that the middle and the right side are completely the same style, so how did Zhang Siqi change from the style on the left to a completely different style on the right in just a few months went up?”

As soon as the comparison picture was posted, someone immediately followed up.

“Damn it! This is a plagiarism without any suspense! What the **** is the design on the left?”

“I don’t know the design circle, but based on the comparison chart alone, the style on the left is indeed completely different from the right in the middle.”

“This clothing design dog is passing by, and Zhang Siqi’s aesthetics are 108,000 miles away from Shen Yansheng’s. This design work of hers is not copied from Shen Yansheng. I cut off my head for everyone to play as a ball. It’s really obvious, the middle award-winning work, Many small details are exactly the same as Shen Yansheng’s design habits.”

“Cough. A former colleague came to reveal the inside story. Although Zhang Siqi was the design director of the M brand before, her design level is really poor, and she is not as good as some of our company’s designers with a little aura. She and Shen Yansheng seem to have a little holiday. , Shen Yansheng has been suppressed by her since she joined the company last year, she is not allowed to do any work, and she is specially assigned to do some errands for her.”

“But because we’re all in the same department, we’ve all seen the clothes designed by Shen Yansheng, and they’re really aura. Talent is something I can’t really envy sometimes.”

“The former classmates also came to reveal the inside story. In college, Zhang Siqi was really ordinary, but he was really good at making the teacher’s favor. In the third year of junior year, our department wanted to select two students to participate in the competition, Shen Yansheng must not say it. , went out to win awards on behalf of the school every year. But another place fell on Zhang Siqi. To be honest, many of us were not convinced at the time.”

“After the results of the competition came out, Shen Yansheng directly dumped Zhang Siqi for 108,000 miles and won the first place in Asia. When he came back, he was guaranteed to study. Zhang Siqi should be very unconvinced. At that time, he was still spreading rumors at school. Shen Yansheng bought the prize from her family. .”

“How could it be possible to buy prizes in such an international competition? It’s not as good as other people, and it’s really unbelievable.”

“What’s this, she stole Shen Yansheng’s work to participate in the competition, and she has the face to accuse Shen Yansheng of infringing on her right to reputation.”

“So shameless people, really invincible in the world.”

Shen Yansheng read the comments around, and when she closed the phone, she thought, Lin Jiayi is Zhang Siqi’s confidant, why would she take the initiative to testify for her?

In the afternoon, she went to the office of the competition organizing committee and saw the evidence provided by Lin Jiayi.

She suddenly remembered that not long after Lin Jiayi joined the company, the company was shooting a promotional video, and Zhang Siqi handed over the shooting task of the design department to Lin Jiayi.

At that time, she took the design draft to discuss with her in Zhang Siqi’s office, and Lin Jiayi happened to photograph Zhang Siqi’s office at that time.

I probably wanted to photograph Zhang Siqi’s daily work, and by the way, I also took a picture of what she told Zhang Siqi about her design philosophy.

It’s just that this video was not cut into the promotional film at the time.

She didn’t expect that Lin Jiayi actually had this video in her hand, let alone that Lin Jiayi would come forward to testify for her.

But no matter what, she has been rehabilitated this time. Zhang Siqi has this kind of scandal, and it will be difficult to stay in this circle in the future.

As the saying goes, when a happy event occurs, people are in good spirits. On the day Lu Jingce came back from a business trip, she specially went to pick him up.

She didn’t tell Lu Jingce when she went there, or she quietly called Zhao Cheng last night to ask for the flight number of Lu Jingce’s return tonight.

So much so that when Lu Jingce came out of the airport and saw Shen Yansheng standing at the pick-up gate from a distance, looking at him with frowning eyes, he thought for a moment that he was confused.

He stopped unconsciously and stared at Shen Yansheng for a long time.

Seeing Lu Jingce stop and staring at her, Shen Yansheng smiled and waved to him, “Lu Jingce!”

Only then did Lu Jingce come back to his senses, and his expression returned to his expressionless expression. He walked up to Shen Yansheng, glanced at her, and asked, “Why are you here?”

Shen Yansheng smiled, reached out and took Lu Jingce’s suit jacket on the crook of his arms, hugged it into his arms, and then looked at him and said, “I’ll pick you up.”

Lu Jingce raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her, “The sun is coming out from the west?”

Shen Yansheng smiled, raised her hand to hold Lu Jingce, “It’s already dark, where is the sun coming from?”

Lu Jingce lowered his eyes and glanced at Shen Yansheng’s hand holding his arm. Although he didn’t know why she was so enthusiastic today, he still felt a little bit of it in his heart, and even the exhaustion of traveling on business was a little less.

When the two arrived at the parking lot, Shen Yansheng stepped forward and helped Lu Jingce open the front passenger’s door very attentively, and said with a smile, “Get in the car, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Jingce glanced at her and smiled rarely, “What kind of medicine did you take wrong tonight?”

Shen Yansheng smiled and said, “Isn’t it okay to come and pick you up and go home?”

Lu Jingce sneered, leaned over and sat in the co-pilot, and said, “Your temper is cloudy and sunny every day. I don’t know what you’re thinking about.”

Shen Yansheng smiled, thinking about explaining to Lu Jingce why she was unhappy a while ago when she got home for dinner.

When Lu Jingce got into the car, she gently closed the front passenger’s door, then went around the front of the car, got into the cab, bowed her head and fastened her seat belt.

Lu Jingce looked at her, a little uneasy, “Are you good at driving?”

As Shen Yansheng started the car, he said, “I thank you, a ten-year-old driver, you actually suspect that my driving skills are not good.”

Lu Jingce smiled and lowered his co-pilot seat. He closed his eyes and planned to rest for a while.

Seeing Lu Jingce resting with his eyes closed, Shen Yansheng thought that he must be tired from a business trip, so he gently adjusted the air conditioner in the car to a suitable temperature, and then started the car steadily on the road.

The solar term at the end of March, spring has come, but in fact, it is still a little cold in the morning and evening.

After leaving Airport Road and entering Nanjia Road, there are already spring scenery on both sides of the street. Rows of peach blossom trees are blooming brilliantly, and the trees along the road have also grown green shoots.

The dim yellow street lights on both sides of the road flashed in front of Lu Jingce’s eyes as the car moved forward.

At this moment, Lu Jingce woke up, opened his eyes, and glanced out the window. Because he had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse, “Are you at Nanjia Road?”

“Well.” Shen Yansheng drove the car seriously and said, “You can sleep a little longer, it will be a while before you get home.”

Lu Jingce was no longer sleepy, but he was a little addicted to smoking just after waking up.

Leaning against the back of the chair lazily, his eyes fell on Shen Yansheng’s face, and he couldn’t move away.

Since returning from Jiangcheng in February, these days, the two have quarreled in the cold war, and have not seen her for a long time.

He stared at her like this for a while, and was about to say something when he suddenly felt the headlights in front of him were dazzling. He glanced in front of the car and saw a car driving in the opposite direction towards them.

He couldn’t help frowning, looked back and forth in the rearview mirror, and said to Shen Yansheng, “Change to the next lane.”

Shen Yansheng also saw it, and while changing lanes at the turn signal, he frowned and said, “Is this person drunk?”

“Ignore him and leave quickly.” Lu Jingce usually drives, and is most afraid of encountering such a lifeless lunatic.

Shen Yansheng also thought about going through the tunnel quickly, for fear that this lunatic would drive towards them.

But she never dreamed that just when she was about to cross the car, the car suddenly accelerated and hit them like crazy.

Because the distance was too close, the headlights shone into Shen Yansheng’s eyes, making her almost blind for a moment. When her mind went blank, she almost instinctively slammed the steering wheel towards Lu Jingce.

The moment she heard the loud noise in her ears, she almost thought she would die.

After a short period of severe pain, her brain gradually became clear. She opened her eyes with the last bit of consciousness. When she saw it, Lu Jingce was protecting her.

As if blood was dripping on her face, she wanted to speak, but her throat could not make a sound, her mind was dizzy, and after a few seconds, she finally lost consciousness.

Shen Yansheng felt that she had a very long dream, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a white ceiling.

For half a minute, she thought she was dead.

Zhou Wanying, who was standing beside the hospital bed, saw that Shen Yansheng finally opened her eyes and almost burst into tears in an instant. She rushed to the bedside, her voice choked uncontrollably, “Sheng Sheng, you are awake, you are finally awake.”

Shen Yansheng looked at Zhou Wanying, and for a few seconds, she suddenly realized that she was still alive.

Her face was pale, and before she could speak, tears fell first. She grabbed Zhou Wanying’s hand and asked anxiously, “Where’s Lu Jingce? Where’s Lu Jingce?!”

Zhou Wanying hurriedly held Shen Yansheng’s hand and said, “Don’t worry about Shengsheng, Lu Jingce is fine, he is fine.”

“No.” Shen Yansheng didn’t believe it, she got out of bed after pulling out the infusion tube, and walked out in a hurry, “I want to see him.”

Zhou Wanying was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled him back, “Sheng Sheng, I really didn’t lie to you, Lu Jingce is fine. You are still very weak and need more rest.”

Sheng Sheng suddenly burst into tears, “It’s impossible to be okay!”

Before she finally lost consciousness, she saw Lu Jingce protecting her with blood all over her face.

She suddenly collapsed to the ground limply, crying so hard that her throat could not make a sound.

Zhou Wanying squatted down and hugged her quickly, “It’s okay, Sheng Sheng, it’s really okay. Lu Jingce was hurt a little bit more than you, but he was out of danger last night, and now he’s in the ICU, the doctor said that he’s in good condition. If so, I should be able to wake up tomorrow.”

Shen Yansheng only felt that her heart was dripping with blood, and the pain made her almost lose her voice. She propped her body up from the ground, still going out.

“Sheng Sheng—” Zhou Wanying grabbed her, frowning worriedly, “You need to rest.”

Shen Yansheng looked at Zhou Wanying, her eyes were red, and she choked up, “I want to go see him.”

“But I can’t go in now, and the doctor won’t let me see it.”

Shen Yansheng cried and said, “I want to see him outside.”

Zhou Wanying watched Shen Yansheng begging her with tears on her face, but she couldn’t help but take Shen Yansheng to see Lu Jingce.

Across the transparent glass of the intensive care unit, Shen Yansheng stood outside, looking at Lu Jingce lying on the hospital bed, she felt a colicky heart, and all her strength seemed to be drained.

Zhou Wanying supported her by the side, and she was actually very sad, and said, “Shengsheng, don’t worry, Lu Jingce will be fine. He has always been blessed with great luck, and the old master of Nanta Temple told him his fortune and told him that he would live. to a hundred years old.”

Shen Yansheng was still in tears, looking at Lu Jingce on the hospital bed, her voice choked, and she said softly, “Lu Jingce was injured to save me.”

She obviously turned the steering wheel towards the co-pilot at the moment of the accident, and it was Lu Jingce who unbuckled her seat belt and rushed over to protect her.

Zhou Wanying watched Shen Yansheng cry like this, and was also saddened, and said, “Lu Jingce loves you. At that time, of course he would want to protect you first.”

Through the transparent glass window, Shen Yansheng stood outside, quietly watching Lu Jingce from a distance. She didn’t cry anymore, she just watched, praying that God could hear her voice, she was willing to exchange the rest of her life, and only hoped that Lu Jingce could wake up safely.

Shen Yansheng’s body was slightly injured, and after waking up, there was no serious problem.

She does not return to the ward to rest every day, and has been guarding outside the intensive care unit from the moment she woke up.

It was not until April 2 that Lu Jingce finally woke up and was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward.

Zhou Wanying and Xie Rin were also very interesting. Seeing that Lu Jingce was awake, they didn’t stay in the ward much, and they went back first.

Shen Yansheng stayed beside the bed. In just a few days, she lost weight all over her body. Her originally small face seemed to be only the size of a slap.

Seeing that Shen Yansheng was crying all the time, Lu Jingce raised his hand with difficulty, wiped the tears from her cheek, and said in a low voice, “Don’t cry, it’s ugly to cry.”

However, Shen Yansheng suddenly cried even more, she crouched on top of Lu Jingce, crying so much that her whole body was trembling.

She cried like this, and Lu Jingce felt distressed when she cried. He raised his hand to touch her head, his voice was still a little weak, he was still in the mood to joke at this time, and said, “Why are you crying? Don’t you want to leave me? If I die, don’t you just become free.”

Shen Yansheng raised her head, her eyes were red with tears, she looked at Lu Jingce and cried, “I’ve never thought about it like this.”

She held Lu Jingce’s hand tightly, her dark eyes filled with tears, looked at him, and choked out: “Lu Jingce, when you were in a coma, I kept thinking, if something really happened to you, what should I do? What should I do? I don’t want to be alone in this world.”

Shen Yansheng’s words gave Lu Jingce a deep shock.

He looked at her quietly, raised his hand to wipe her tears, and after a long while, he asked softly, “Shen Yansheng, if you want to stay by my side for the rest of your life, would you like it?”

Shen Yansheng nodded desperately, “I am willing, Lu Jingce, I am willing.”

From now on, no matter who Lu Jingce takes her as, she will not care. As long as Lu Jingce didn’t let her leave, she was willing to be with him for the rest of her life.

Although Lu Jingce was seriously injured, he was in good health. Since he woke up, his body has been recovering faster day by day.

But staying in bed all day was really boring, Shen Yansheng didn’t allow him to work, and even Zhao Cheng came to report to him, but she was kicked out.

He looked helpless and a little funny, and there was a little inhuman pleasure in his heart.

In order to make Lu Jingce less boring, Shen Yansheng specially asked Uncle Chen to bring her cello.

Lu Jingce leaned on the back of the bed and looked at her, with a little smile in his eyes, deliberately teasing her, “No stories today?”

Recently, Shen Yansheng was afraid that Lu Jingce would be bored, so she bought several novels on the Internet, lying beside the bed every day telling stories to Lu Jingce.

She sat down on the stool with the cello, then looked up at Lu Jingce and said, “I don’t seem to have played the piano for you yet. What do you want to hear?”

Lu Jingce smiled and said, “I don’t understand music, so I listen to whatever you play.”

Shen Yansheng smiled and said, “That’s fine. But I haven’t pulled it for a long time. If it doesn’t sound good, you’re not allowed to talk about me.”

Lu Jingce looked at her with a smile and said, “How dare I tell you.”

Shen Yansheng smiled, lowered her head and began to enter the state seriously.

However, she really hadn’t practiced the piano for a long time, so that several notes were a little out of tune. After finishing a piece of music, she raised her head, smiled shyly at Lu Jingce, and said, “It’s out of tune.”

Lu Jingce smiled, “Is there? I didn’t hear it.”

Shen Yansheng smiled and said, “That’s because you are a layman.”

She got up and put Qin on the table next to her, then walked over to the bed, picked up her phone to check the time, and found that it was almost twelve o’clock. She smiled and said to Lu Jingce, “Aunt Ping will be delivering food in a while. Guess what’s for dinner today?”

Lu Jingce sneered and said, “How do I know.”

Shen Yansheng sat beside the bed, resting her chin in her hands, looked at Lu Jingce, and said, “Guess what.”

Lu Jingce smiled and said, “I don’t guess.”

Shen Yansheng flattened his mouth and said, “Forget it.”

She got up to wash her hands, thinking about cutting some fruit for Lu Jingce, but Lu Jingce grabbed her before she got up.

She was stunned and looked at him, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Jingce looked at her deeply, and after a long while, he finally asked, “Why did you turn the steering wheel toward me when the accident happened?”

Usually, the driver will instinctively protect himself when something happens out of a knee-jerk reaction.

But when the accident happened that day, Shen Yansheng turned the steering wheel to the co-pilot’s side, which was equivalent to exposing her own position to the other side for collision, but the co-pilot could escape the disaster.

He looked at Shen Yansheng deeply, held her hand, and asked very seriously, “Why?”

Shen Yansheng hesitated for a few seconds and replied, “It’s just a subconscious instinctive reaction.”

Lu Jingce dismantled her, “A person’s subconscious instinct should be to protect himself, not to put himself in danger to protect the co-pilot.”

Shen Yansheng pursed her lips unconsciously, she looked at Lu Jingce for a long time, and said, “I owe you too much. If you have another accident because of me, I will feel uneasy even if I live.”

Lu Jingce looked at her deeply, “Is that so? No other reason?”

Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce’s dark and deep eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly didn’t want to hide her thoughts anymore, and it seemed that it was no big deal to admit it generously.

She looked at Lu Jingce quietly, and after a long while, she said softly, “Lu Jingce, maybe, I’m a little in love with you.”
