Uncle also likes you very much.

Hearing this, Shi Yunnan unconsciously condensed the smile on the corner of his mouth. He hugged the little goldfish on the desk and denied it, "I'm a big kid, how do you know that Luo Lingsheng likes me?"

"I must like you, little uncle is so nice, everyone likes you."

The little goldfish responded with a shake of his head, he paused, and continued to prove the answer just now with his own point of view.

"Uncle is very cruel to other people, but he is very kind to my little uncle. He told me that my little uncle is a family member when we first met."

"We are good to the people we like, aren't we?"

"..."

Shi Yunnan stared at the little goldfish's clear pupils, and suddenly had no rebuttal words.

It is said that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders.

But sometimes, adults are not as thorough as children, and their purest thoughts are often the most accurate.

Yes.

Luo Lingsheng, a name that would frighten others upon hearing it, a person who would not soften his heart towards Xie Keyue and Wen Wanyou, could he let himself mess around just for a paper agreement?

Although Shi Yunnan feels that he is good enough, he is not so proud that he thinks that he is so good that there is nothing in the world.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Luo Lingsheng wants to agree to get married, there will be many people scrambling to agree. Why does it have to be me who has only met once?

"Little uncle, aren't you happy?"

The little goldfish saw that Shi Yunnan was silent again, and suddenly put his tender face in front of him, "Then you can poke my face, it's fun."

Shi Yunnan was amused by the little goldfish, and poked his cheek as he wished.

"Little uncle, don't be afraid. If uncle makes you angry, when I grow up, I will teach you a lesson."

Taking advantage of his uncle's absence, Xiao Jinyu leaned toward Shi Yunnan without hesitation.

Shi Yunnan pretended to be surprised, "Hey, how dare you teach Luo Lingsheng a lesson?"

Thinking of Luo Lingsheng's stern face, Little Goldfish was instantly frightened, "...how about we go together? Uncle doesn't dare to hurt little uncle."

"Who said that, he killed me today."

"Huh? That uncle is bad."

The two people, one big and one small, were chatting, very routine, very trivial, and even a little cute and childish.

Maybe it was the time when it was time to go to sleep, the little goldfish yawned uncontrollably, rubbed his teary eyes, "...Little uncle."

"You want to sleep, don't you? I'll carry you back to sleep."

"Can I sleep with my little uncle?" The little goldfish glanced at the cat pajamas he was wearing, and then sniffed it, "I've already washed it so it smells good, and it doesn't stink."

Shi Yunnan couldn't stop laughing, and simply hugged him to his bed, "Okay, you sleep with me."

Shi Yunnan's inner loneliness was temporarily driven away by such a conversation, he stared at the little goldfish sleeping obediently on the bed with his eyes closed, and suddenly he was not in such a hurry to make a decision.

Even if the relationship between him and Luo Lingsheng can only stop at the agreement, but it doesn't feel bad to be accompanied by a sensible and clingy little goldfish.

...

Luo Lingsheng went abroad for a comprehensive physical examination this time, but actually only stayed for less than four days before returning.

It was not yet nine o'clock in the evening when he, Qin Jian and others returned to Luo's residence.

Shi Yunnan, who was drawing design drafts in his room, vaguely heard the movement downstairs, got up habitually, picked up a water glass and wanted to go downstairs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I met Luo Lingsheng's eyes at the door.

"..."

The two of them stopped looking at each other.

This is the first time the two have met since the 'breakup' in the training room that day.

During the few days when Luo Lingsheng was abroad, he took the initiative to send some WeChat messages. Shi Yunnan only regarded himself as blind, pretending not to see and not replying.

Shi Yunnan thought that Luo Lingsheng was just passing by the study, so he kept silent, but after waiting quietly for three or four seconds, the other party didn't have the slightest intention to move the wheelchair.

"Just came back? Don't go to the study?"

When Shi Yunnan asked this sentence dryly, he completely lost his previous thoughts of 'making trouble'.

Luo Lingsheng naturally understood his attitude, and pushed the wheelchair forward, "Are you free? I'm here to see you, and I want to talk to you about something."

In less than five days, despite the long flight time back and forth, Luo Lingsheng had to cooperate with the medical team in rehabilitation training in addition to ordinary examination and treatment, so as to record the values ​​of various activities.

Not only that, but when he was exhausted from the test, he had to continue to deal with the affairs of the group. It can be said that he was in a state of tension all the time.

Even so, Luo Lingsheng still chose to come to Shi Yunnan the first thing he did when he returned to Luo's residence.

"That day in the training room, I said something wrong in a moment of impatience. I'm just not used to being... seen by you so embarrassed."

Luo Lingsheng tried his best to suppress the exhaustion in his voice, and there was a tension in his heart that no one could detect.

Just because Shi Yunnan didn't reply to his WeChat, it was enough to make him mess up.

In fact, after speaking that day, Luo Lingsheng felt very regretful, but he really couldn't find the time to talk face to face.

"Mr. Luo, you don't have to apologize to me."

Shi Yunnan lowered his eyes slightly, and replied calmly and understandingly, "That day in the training room, I broke in without permission. You are right, I crossed the line without restraint."

"If Mr. Luo hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot that you and I are only in an 'agreement' relationship, but it's not too late to realize it now."

"From now on, except for acting in front of outsiders, I will keep a distance from Mr. Luo in private time."

Shi Yunnan quickly finished this paragraph of lies that had already been arranged countless times, and his palms holding the water glass were slightly sweaty.

Even so, he was not willing to give in to Luo Lingsheng any more—

This is a temperament he has cultivated since he was a child. Once he feels a 'threat', he will protect himself in all aspects.

In fact, the two words Luo Lingsheng said in the training room were secondary.

What Shi Yunnan is most concerned about is that the other party is likely to reject him forever because of the white moonlight in his heart.

That being the case, he took the initiative to go far away is the best protection for himself.

Shi Yunnan resisted the turbulent emotions and replied, "Mr. Luo, if you have nothing to do, please step aside."

No matter how much mental construction he had done beforehand, his heartbeat was still out of his control in front of Luo Lingsheng.

Luo Lingsheng's brows were complicated, and the other party said "Mr. Luo", directly returning their relationship to the beginning.

Just as he was about to say something, a voice sounded nearby, "Uncle, I'm done taking a bath."

The little goldfish ran towards Shi Yunnan cheerfully, hugging her own blanket.His eyes touched his own uncle, and Sa Huan's pace slowed down, "Uncle, are you back?"

"Ah."

Luo Lingsheng looked at his little nephew, "Jin Yu, what are you doing?"

"I sleep with my little uncle!" The little goldfish replied proudly.

During the few nights when his uncle was not at home, he came to sleep with his little uncle every night.

Only in this way, the little uncle will not be like the little white rabbit in the story, leaving his family members behind and slipping away privately while sleeping at night.

Shi Yunnan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and had to sigh that this good baby came at the right time.

He pulled the little goldfish into the room with one hand, and said indifferently to Luo Lingsheng, "We are about to rest, Mr. Luo, please feel free."

Bang.

The door was closed without hesitation.

"..."

What Luo Lingsheng wanted to say was stuck in his throat, unable to speak or swallow, and gradually felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness.

He stayed at the door in silence for a long time before whispering 'good night' to the people in the room.

...

Listening to the sound of the wheelchair fading away, Shi Yunnan finally broke free from an invisible sense of tension.

Under his signal, Little Goldfish let go of his tightly covered mouth with both hands, and said in a particularly deliberate tone, "Little Uncle, is Uncle gone?"

"Well, let's go."

Shi Yunnan lost the thought of drinking water, and led the little goldfish back.

Little Goldfish raised his head and asked him anxiously, "Are you still angry with Uncle?"

"Not angry."

It's not easy for Shi Yunnan to say anything in front of the child, "Go to bed quickly, it's almost nine o'clock."

"Oh."

The little goldfish obediently climbed onto the bed with his own blanket, "Good night, little uncle."

"Good night."

Little Goldfish is a child who falls asleep quickly, Shi Yunnan adjusted the brightness of the bedside lamp, and soon he fell asleep soundly and sweetly.

Shi Yunnan lost the desire to design, so he just leaned on the bed and stared blankly.

In fact, Luo Lingsheng didn't need to take the initiative to apologize, he knew that the other party's "crossing the line" was just an angry remark in shame and desperation, and he understood that Bai Yueguang could also be an irrelevant past tense.

The little goldfish's childish words just aroused Shi Yunnan's awareness.

With a character like Luo Lingsheng, he would not casually allow anyone to enter his inner world.

And the previous self may have been infinitely close to the position in Luo Lingsheng's heart, but it was only close and did not take root.

In fact, Shi Yunnan had a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get past, to put it more accurately——

He is jealous.

He was jealous of Bai Yueguang, Luo Lingsheng, whom he had never met.

Shi Yunnan tried to throw away all his feelings and return himself to the status of 'partner of the agreement'. This is very difficult, he can't do it overnight.

So I just pretended not to care and pretended to be calm like before.

Just as she was thinking, the WeChat rang, it was a WeChat from Lu Zhaoan.

—Mr. Shi, are you free tomorrow?

——You said earlier that you wanted to visit Yuan’s processing plant and raw stone warehouse?I can arrange it for you tomorrow.

Shi Yunnan had this idea.

He agreed to cooperate with Lu Zhaoan for a simple reason: Compared with diamond design, jade design is the design direction he really wants to develop.

Since Yuan Shi and Lu Zhao'an offered this olive branch, he was naturally willing to accept it.

In the future, relying on the real name of 'Shi Yunnan' to develop some contacts in the Huaguo industry, he can further establish his own design studio.

Even though the scene in the dream had undergone earth-shaking changes, he had to figure out a way for himself in this world.

……

The next day.

In order to avoid Luo Lingsheng, Shi Yunnan deliberately hid in the room until noon before going downstairs, but unexpectedly, he caught Luo Lingsheng's sight again.

"..."

Looking at each other, Shi Yunnan paused slightly when he went downstairs.

But it would be too deliberate to sneak upstairs again at this moment.

Shi Yunnan simply restrained his emotions and walked down, casually put the thin coat and accompanying small bag on the chair, "...Why don't you go to the group at this hour today?"

Luo Lingsheng said directly, "Wait for you to go downstairs."

Shi Yunnan: "..."

Uncle Qin signaled the servants to bring up all the reserved meals, and then led the others back silently, leaving space for the two masters of the family to be alone.

Luo Lingsheng took the initiative to care, "Don't eat breakfast and lunch together. Skipping breakfast for a long time is not good for the stomach."

Shi Yunnan scooped up a mouthful of seafood porridge, "Mr. Xie Luo is concerned, but I'm used to it."

Luo Lingsheng's chest was blocked by the phrase 'Mr. Luo', and he caught a glimpse of the things Shi Yunnan brought down from the corner of his eye, "Going out this afternoon?"

"Ah."

Shi Yunnan's answer was very brief, his eyes stayed in the bowl all the time, and he didn't look at Luo Lingsheng at all.

He didn't despise the other party, but he was afraid that once he met Luo Lingsheng's eyes, some deep-seated emotions would be captured without a place to hide.

Seeing Shi Yunnan becoming more and more defensive and unfamiliar with him, Luo Lingsheng's heart seemed to be clenched by invisible hands, and even his breathing became tighter.

After all, Luo Lingsheng couldn't control it, and manipulated the wheelchair to shorten the distance between the two, "Still angry?"

When Shi Yunnan heard the apologetic inquiry that was close to his ear, his right hand holding the porridge unconsciously shook.

He looked sideways at Luo Lingsheng, who had focused eyes, and duplicity said, "No."

Luo Lingsheng sensed his momentary sulking, and a smile finally appeared between his serious brows, "Last time in the training room, I was the one who said nothing, I..."

"I'm full." Shi Yunnan interrupted Luo Lingsheng.

He couldn't control his accelerated heartbeat, so he had to retreat slightly in order to maintain a calm state, "I have an appointment in the afternoon, and I still have work."

Luo Lingsheng raised his eyes to look at Shi Yunnan who had gotten up and moved away, and blurted out uneasily, "Who are you dating?"

"Lu Zhaoan."

The moment he heard this name coming out of Shi Yunnan's mouth, Luo Lingsheng's heart felt sour uncontrollably.

He didn't want to push the other party away with a tough attitude, so he asked slowly, "Are you working with him? When did it happen?"

"I agreed to Lu Zhao'an's jade design cooperation."

Shi Yunnan caught a glimpse of Luo Lingsheng's frowning, and his bad intentions surfaced after holding his breath for the past few days, "In the future, we may have to work side by side every day, so please don't cross the line and ask too many questions, so as not to interfere with my normal social interaction and work."

"..."

crossed the line?put one's oar in?

One sentence knocked Luo Lingsheng in place. No matter how difficult the estrangement and calculation encountered during the struggle for power, it was not as good as the few words of the person in front of him.

He shot himself in the foot.

It was only now that Luo Lingsheng understood the true meaning of this sentence.

Shi Yunnan turned around to leave, but then heard Luo Lingsheng's reminder, "Wait, I forgot something, go out and put on your coat."

On a gray and rainy day, the climate in the imperial capital is already a bit chilly.

Luo Lingsheng handed over Shi Yunnan's items with his own hands, hesitating for a moment before asking, "Where do you work? I'll send someone to pick you up later?"

"No need, Mr. Luo."

Shi Yunnan bit the last three words very hard.

"..."

Luo Lingsheng was speechless.

He who has always been mature and prudent wanted to go back to the day in the training room for the first time, wishing to take back the urgent words that hurt others and himself.

When Shi Yunnan saw Luo Lingsheng's vaguely 'shocked' appearance, the corners of his mouth quickly bent unconsciously.

Different from the dodge when he just went downstairs, he walked out of Luo's house very briskly.

Luo Lingsheng watched Shi Yunnan's back being blocked by the door, his mind was full of the other party's response not long ago, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

From the day the two reached an agreement, Shi Yunnan took the initiative to narrow the distance between the two of them time and time again.

But now, the other party retreated back to the original place as if without nostalgia, and he realized that the mature plans in his heart were just a mess in front of the cognition that was about to be lost.

He wanted to catch the man in front of him.

This idea has not changed from the beginning to the end.

Luo Lingsheng took off his glasses, rubbed his swollen and astringent eyes, and shouted loudly, "Qin Jian."

Qin Jian quickly walked out from the cubicle, "Find out where Yunan and Yuan's Lu Zhao'an works? Be careful, I'll pick him up in the afternoon."

Qin Jian responded without thinking, "Okay, Patriarch."

...

Lu Zhao'an is a steady and decisive person.

Now that he decided to cooperate with Shi Yunnan and other cutting-edge designers, he simply rented a well-decorated office building near Linglong Market, which is convenient for the designers' daily work needs.

Of course, this place of work is not mandatory.

Just because it is close to the jade market, it can be convenient for designers when sampling.

Lu Zhao'an showed Shi Yunnan a brief tour of the office, "Your fingerprints have been entered at the gate, you can come over anytime if you need it in the future."

Shi Yunnan said, "OK."

"May I take you to Yuan's processing factory and jade storage? It's right behind Linglong Market."

Because when the market was first established, the Yuan family existed as an 'old owner', so its own factory occupies a unique geographical advantage.

The two arrived at Yuan's Jade Factory within a few steps.

"The Yuan family has two processing plants in the Imperial Capital, one large and one small, the large one is used for processing cut surfaces, and the small one is used for fine carving. In addition, jade carving studios are distributed in large jade markets in various provinces."

All the jade carving ornaments sold by shops with the signboard of "Yuan's" are basically self-produced and sold. If their own rough stone stalls can sell good materials, the first demand is to supply their own jade carvers.

Shi Yunnan looked at the five outermost masters who were in charge of polishing jade beads, and asked, "These are the jade beads for Lou's?"

"Ah."

As soon as the words fell, a ostentatious tone sounded from the side, "Shi Yunnan, what are you doing here?"

Shi Yunnan immediately identified the owner of the voice, and looking sideways, it turned out to be Yuan Rui.

After not seeing him for a while, the marks of the beating on Yuan Rui's face have faded, and now his eyes are bright and bright.

"Xiao Rui, Shi Yunnan is a partner of our jade studio." Lu Zhao'an explained, "Design needs, I will bring him to visit the jade warehouse and introduce him."

Yuan Rui still had that awkward attitude towards Lu Zhao'an, but turned his disbelieving gaze back to Shi Yunnan, "Do you still know about jade design?"

But didn't it mean that Shi Yunnan was eating, drinking and having fun abroad all day long, so he didn't have any real skills that could be used?

Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows, "I know a little bit about superficiality, does the young master Yuan's expression mean that he doesn't trust me?"

"I don't mean that." Yuan Rui immediately denied.

He suffered enough from Shi Yunnan, let's keep the words out of his mouth, he can't fall into the same person's pit three times.

Suddenly, Lu Zhaoan's cell phone rang, and it didn't take long for him to answer the call before his expression became serious.

Yuan Rui, who had been watching him from the corner of his eye, changed his eyes, and after he hung up the phone, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with the jade carving business in Lin Province. I have to rush over to deal with it now." Lu Zhao'an looked at Shi Yunnan apologetically, "Mr. Shi, it may take another day..."

"What's another day? It's already here. You don't have time to accompany me. Why don't you introduce someone else to Shi Yunnan?" Yuan Rui interrupted.

Shi Yunnan heard the overtones, and asked with a smile, "Master Yuan is going to introduce me?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoan immediately turned his gaze to Yuan Rui.

Yuan Rui pretended to cough twice, and muttered, "I'll come here, anyway, I can't go anywhere because I'm trapped here by my dad."

Yuan Rui was banned by Yuan Puguang. Only by clocking in at Yuan's Jade Factory for six hours a day can he exchange for a certain amount of pocket money.

Day by day, he couldn't handle the jade carving, but he was so aggrieved, he might as well find something to do.

Lu Zhao'an showed a rare smile, "Mr. Shi, let Yuan Rui do it for you. He knows all about jade and is very professional."

When Yuan Rui heard this affirmation, the corners of his mouth curled up briefly, and he quickly returned to his unhappy boss look.

Shi Yunnan had no objection, not to mention Yuan Rui was present, even he himself has researched jade.

After Lu Zhao'an left, Yuan Rui straightened himself up confidently, "Then what... come with me, my young master will open your eyes."

After getting along with each other a few times before, Shi Yunnan roughly understood Yuan Rui's temperament, he was nothing more than an overly arrogant young master with a not bad nature.

He said that he wanted to introduce Yuan's Jade Storehouse to Shi Yunnan, and that was a serious and unadulterated introduction.

Going further back from the processing factory, five warehouses were opened up for storing jade. One room is connected to another room, and the area added together is very large.

Yuan's is one of the best brands in the jade industry, so the number of top jades under his hands is naturally shocking.

Yuan Rui was born in a jade family, so it is rare to be reliable in this respect.

The five material warehouse rooms were introduced without any breathlessness. They explained every piece of faceted jade thoroughly, and added a lot of knowledge points to Shi Yunnan.

It makes people have to obey.

"Master Yuan has a deep understanding of jade? It's amazing." Shi Yunnan boasted sincerely.

Hearing this compliment, Yuan Rui looked smug, and pretended to be indifferent, "What's the use of knowing more deeply? In my father's eyes, it's not like nothing is accomplished. In his eyes, only a good jade carver like Lu Zhao'an is in his eyes."

Sometimes Yuan Rui often thinks that he is the child who was picked up from the orphanage.

Years of blows, not to mention outsiders, even Yuan Rui himself believed it, and in his life, he would not be worth a single iota of Lu Zhao'an.

Seeing the loneliness on Yuan Rui's face, Shi Yunnan suddenly remembered his ending in the original dream book——

Under the leadership of Xie Keyue, Yuan Rui has indeed developed the Yuan family's jade ornaments to the forefront of the industry, and has successfully inherited the Yuan family.

"Haven't you been in touch with Xie Keyue recently?" Shi Yunnan asked.

"Why do you ask here? You and him are also a family, and you come to inquire about me?" Yuan Rui instinctively became vigilant for a second when he heard his friend's name.

Shi Yunnan was speechless, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will eat you or eat him?"

"Who, who said I was scared?" Yuan Rui got stuck and muttered, "But a while ago, there were a lot of bad things on my mind."

The money invested in the cosmetics industry was in vain, not only that, but also lost a lot of money one after another, even he himself was taken to investigate by the relevant departments.

I heard that this incident alarmed Mr. Shi, and the other party only took him home with some help, and after closing the door, there was another round of severe reprimands.

Knowing Xie Keyue's recent situation, Yuan Rui has also changed his opinion of Shi Yunnan, but he will not share his friend's privacy with Shi Yunnan.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded.

Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui looked sideways at the same time, and couldn't help sighing that Cao Cao Cao Cao is so effective in this common saying——

Under the leadership of the jade carving master, Xie Keyue, who hadn't seen him for a long time, suddenly appeared at the door.

When the three of them saw each other's figures, the air seemed to freeze suddenly.

"Ke Yue, why are you here?"

Yuan Rui approached his friend, but couldn't stop looking at Shi Yunnan, feeling inexplicably guilty of being the king of the sea.

It was as if he had betrayed his friendship with Xie Keyue, and even had a private relationship with Shi Yunnan.

"Didn't you say that being locked up by your father in the jade factory during this period is boring? I came to see you after get off work, and I just wanted to talk to you about something."

After Xie Ke finished speaking, his eyes fixed on Shi Yunnan, "However, I didn't expect Yunan to be here?"

Shi Yunnan smiled without saying a word.

The two of them are natural enemies, and now they don't need to pretend to be kind.

Yuan Rui sensed the disagreement between the two, but he didn't completely lean towards Xie Keyue like he did when they first met in a nightclub.

"I was so busy that I didn't even notice that it was almost time to get off work."

Yuan Rui put Xie Keyue on his shoulders and took the opportunity to change the subject, "Let's go, Keyue, I'll treat you to dinner today, didn't you say you have something to talk to him about?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Xie Keyue time to interrupt, and turned his gaze to Shi Yunnan.

"Are you leaving? Our jade factory gets off work on time at six o'clock, which is the same as the closing time of the Linglong Market in front."

"Let's go first, I want to study alone."

All warehouses are monitored, and there are masters outside who are responsible for locking the doors after get off work. Besides, with Shi Yunnan's character, he will not engage in sneaky behavior.

"Row."

Yuan Rui only wanted to separate the two of them so as not to cause complications, so he agreed very neatly.

Xie Ke observed the interaction between the two indiscriminately, and the eyes that fell on Shi Yunnan flickered with a dark light.

He suffered a big loss a while ago, he didn't want to provoke Shi Yunnan to make the same mistakes again, so he followed Yuan Rui away without saying a word.

"Shi, Shi Yunnan, watch the time yourself." Yuan Rui reminded.

"understood."

After the two left, Shi Yunnan took out his phone and took a look.

Five fifty.

There are still 10 minutes left before get off work.

Suddenly, the WeChat interface belonging to Luo Lingsheng popped up. It was a ten-second long voice, which was different from the straightforward text expression in the past.

Shi Yunnan obviously should ignore it, but he couldn't help but click on the voice.

"Are you done? I'll pick you up, okay?"

The never-before-seen submissive tone and the coaxing meaning are obvious enough to make people feel numb.

No one around.

The corner of Shi Yunnan's mouth couldn't help but bend again and again, as if he disliked himself, and Luo Lingsheng who could say this.

what the hell?

Sometimes he said that he had crossed the line, and then he hid Bai Yueguang in his heart again. Now that he is fine, with the prestige of 'Patriarch of the Luo family', he took the initiative to show his favor to him again and again?

Shi Yunnan still didn't reply according to his petty temper, the phone's battery was only a little bloody, he had to hurry up and pick out a piece of material as the base for his first attempt at jade necklace design.

"There seems to be a good piece in the No. [-] warehouse in the innermost..."

Shi Yunnan muttered to himself, and walked to the innermost room according to his memory, he found the section of the emperor green he wanted, and by the way, remembered the number in his heart.

Just when he turned around and was about to leave, suddenly, there was a click——

The lights above the head suddenly went out, and the entire warehouse was plunged into deathly darkness.
