unruly

An old lover is not an enemy. It is common and not uncommon to meet again after breaking up, but no one thought that they would meet again in such a scene.

Unexpected and unprepared.

At least for Ming Shu, the moment he saw Ji Anli, he was more astonished.

They have been separated for too long, and now there is an illusion of unreality, a faint feeling that the other party should not appear here, maybe it has passed that stage, and they are relieved and let go. After trying to pass, some things gradually deteriorate , changed again.Ming Shu wasn't sad, nor was she nostalgic, it was just that she felt a little inexplicable emotion for no reason.

When the two broke up at the beginning, it was considered calm, there was no quarrel, they broke up formally after talking, and it is still the same now when they meet, they face each other decently and peacefully, and they will not blush to the point of arguing because of this.

After all, he was a member of the third party, and Ming Shu couldn't do anything to question his ex or settle conflicts in public, and besides, Ji Anli didn't come alone, he was accompanied by two business partners.

The partners are well-known figures, one of them is a professional in the fashion circle, the general manager of a certain big brand's division.The general manager of the division is familiar with Mingshu. He has vigorously supported the M&F studio and has a good relationship with Lao Cao. He is a college classmate of Lao Cao who has kept in touch with him till now.

Ji Anli was a little excited and blocked Mingshu's way.She seemed to have forgotten the fact that the two had separated a long time ago, and she asked softly, "Come here alone on a business trip?"

With important people around, Ming Shu would not lose face on such an occasion, embarrass Ji Anli or something, and would not be so immature.She hid her emotions very well, first recovered from the daze, then looked at the two partners, nodded without changing her expression, and then reached out to the general manager of the division, "President Cheng, it's been a long time not see."

Then came another man, "Director Sun, are you here on a business trip?"

Complete businessman style, natural and calm, did not show a look that should not be there.

Mr. Cheng was kind and familiar, and shook hands with Mingshu.

"Boss Ming, what a coincidence, why are you here too, today?"

Director Sun also smiled kindly, and replied, "Boss Ming."

These three people came to Xinjiang to do public welfare. On behalf of the various companies they belonged to, they came here to participate in activities related to environmental protection. The location is near the Taklamakan Desert, not far from the hotel.

The event will officially start tomorrow. After the reunion, Ji Anli took Mr. Cheng and Director Sun out for a walk for the purpose of negotiating business. While looking around, they talked about some business matters.

Ming Shu replied to Mr. Cheng, and said kindly: "I came here yesterday, and brought the model to shoot the film."

When acquaintances meet, they always have to greet each other for a while, ask simple questions, and make some boring cutscenes.

Cheng is always talkative and enthusiastic, because he has a cooperative relationship and appreciates Mingshu, so he talked for a while.She didn't know the real relationship between Ming Shu and Ji Anli, but she only remembered that they seemed to be pretty good, so she smoothed things over with a smile on her face and talked about some things.

Ji Anli wanted to say something else, but he didn't have the chance.

Ming Shu didn't want to have anything to do with it, and found out the other party's intentions, but turned a blind eye.

It's ironic to think about it. In the past, Ji Anli only dared to find her on WeChat, and occasionally texted and called her when he was emotional. No matter what, he didn't ask her out to talk face to face. Now that we meet, the situation is still the same.

Humans are animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the hurdle in the middle can never be crossed.

Mr. Cheng and Director Sun have other jobs, so they have to go back later.

The same goes for Ji Anli, the three of them are together, and there is another meeting at 07:30 to prepare for public welfare activities, and everyone will be present.

It was late, and Mr. Cheng had almost finished his speech. He raised his arm and glanced at his watch, and said cheerfully to Ming Shu, "Oh, it's time to go, I'm still waiting there. Boss Ming, see you next time. I'll be free tomorrow." Make an appointment for a meal, and we’ll talk about it later.”

Ming Shu replied: "Okay, I'm going back to Z City, I'll treat you and Director Sun to eat together, next week, it's at your convenience."

Mr. Cheng was happy, and Director Sun was also smiling.

Ji Anli didn't show it on the surface, and followed the wishes of those two, so he couldn't do anything, only at this time he asked Mingshu in a low voice: "Where do you live?"

Mingshu heard it, but remained indifferent, and continued chatting with Cheng and the two of them.

"Ashu," Ji Anli said again, getting closer to her, "I'll go find you after the meeting."

Only then did Ming Shu glance at the other party, the expression on his face was too late to put away, and he still maintained his closeness to Mr. Cheng.She lowered her voice, her eyes gradually became colder, and said calmly in a voice that only each of them could hear: "Mr. Ji, you should go."

Mr. Cheng didn't notice that there was anything going on between the two of them. At first glance, it looked like they were friends and wanted to say a few more words before parting, so he urged Ji Anli.Director Sun also looked over and stood there waiting.

Ji Anli had no choice but to follow, before leaving, he whispered, "Pick up my call at night."

Ming Shu didn't respond, and watched the three of them leave.

The vast desert is bleak, and the warm wind is blowing on the cheeks, making it uncomfortable.

Just missed it, Ning Zhi didn't show up until half a minute later, and came back alone.

Babyface and the others went to buy skewers, and couldn't bear it after eating a few bland meals. The smell of meat made them feel greedy, so they asked Ning Zhi to come and report first, lest Ming Shu would be worried.

Ning Zhi held not only a bottle of ice water, but also other things, a large bag of dried fruit, candied dates, and juicy fresh grapes.

They were all bought earlier, so there was a delay.

As soon as Ming Shu turned around, he saw her standing a few steps away, and suddenly his heart tightened.

Probably because he didn't see Ji Anli and the others, Ning Zhi had a calm expression on his face, and slowly approached with a plastic bag.

Put down the things, take out the ice water from the bag, and pass it to Mingshu.

"You want it, take it." The man's tone was blunt, a little unpredictable.

It has been a few minutes since I bought the water, and the body of the bottle is wet and "sweating", and it feels cold to the touch.

Mingshu took it and wanted to say thank you, but seeing Ning Zhi squatting on the ground without looking up, he changed his words and said in a roundabout way: "It's troublesome."

Ning Zhi tied the plastic bag, and replied dryly, "Two yuan."

Ming Shu was stunned for a while, then touched his trouser pocket and said, "I didn't bring any cash."

The child is very fussy, and he has to make an inch of it.

"Then go back and give it to me."

Intuition that there is something wrong with this person, a little strange, but I can't tell.Ming Shu stared at the little ghost for a while, but in the end he couldn't dig out anything deeper, so he could only hum, "Okay."

The little curly hair is annoying, looking for something to do when he has nothing to do, he fumbled in the plastic bag, grabbed a handful of food and handed it over. "Soldiers first, gifts later", two yuan is begged, and then a handful of dried fruits will be given as a bribe.

Ming Shu didn't follow up all of them, and put two unknown dried fruits into his mouth.

Originally, the previous incident made people feel quite complicated, but when Ning Zhi came, he suppressed that emotion again.

Ming Shu didn't bother with those messy things, tasted the sweetness in his mouth, and asked softly, "You bought all of them?"

Ning Zhi stood up and stood beside her hand.

"No, Sister He and the others."

Ming Shu paused, "That's it."

Poor children are quite indebted, but there is a skill in borrowing flowers to present Buddha.

The two stood under the shed and waited, chatting one after another.Mostly to divert energy and calm down, Ming Shu talked more, and Ning Zhi was basically listening.

Babyface and the others came back here about ten minutes later, all smiling brightly, and packed a bunch of meat skewers after eating, saying it was for Lao Cao and the others.

Lao Cao is a competent boss. He just woke up from a nap. When he saw the message from the baby face in the group, he immediately helped pay the bill with a big wave of his hand.

When they went back, another person drove, Ming Shu and Ning Zhi sat next to each other in the back.

Babyface was talking all the way, like a chatterbox.She inadvertently said: "It's a pity that Ning Zhi didn't follow you, so you returned halfway. The other side is more lively, and there are dancing Xinjiang girls. It's very fun."

Ning Zhi only said, "I'm a little tired."

Ming Shu closed his eyes and leaned against his back, silently listening to their chat.

It was quite late when we arrived at the hotel, and most of the staff were gone, resting in the room.

Lao Cao also lived on the second floor, not far from Mingshu's room.

Babyface lived on the third floor, so Mingshu helped deliver the meat skewers by the way.

Lao Cao, who just got up from the bed, was slovenly, and was still yawning lazily when he opened the door.

Ming Shu stuffed the meat skewers to him, turned around and was about to go back to her room.

Lao Cao suddenly stopped her and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Ming Shu was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Lao Cao said: "Your complexion is very bad, you don't look very good, maybe something is wrong with you, is it caused by too much sun exposure during the day?"

Ming Shu shook his head, and immediately denied: "I'm fine, I'm fine."

Lao Cao said: "Don't hold on to anything, why don't you ask a doctor?"

"Don't make a fuss," Ming Shu said, "It's really fine."

Old Cao was skeptical, hesitated for a while, and let her go.

For such a big man, he wouldn't be able to bear the burden of getting sick, so there was no need to frighten him.

Ming Shu's complexion was indeed not very good, it was pale, and there was not much blood, which was different from yesterday.

It was okay before going out in the afternoon, but now it is like this.

After entering the room and looking in the mirror twice, Ming Shu didn't feel too relieved.

Lie on the bed after washing, close your eyes and rest.

Maybe it was because of the thing about going out, Ming Shu couldn't sleep well that night, and even woke up once in the night.

In fact, I didn't think about it, and I didn't grasp those feelings.I don't let go of things, my mind is empty, I am tired and sleepy, but for some reason, I just can't sleep for a long time.

If you don't get enough rest at night, you don't have enough energy during the day.

Gather downstairs early in the morning, and head to the shooting location when everyone is ready.

Lao Cao got an RV from nowhere, and used a thick black cloth curtain to separate two spaces in the car, which were used by two models for changing clothes and makeup.

The team first posed for Chu Hengyi, and then it was Ning Zhi's turn.

During this period, Ming Shu had to help Ning Zhi change into his clothes.

The two of them occupied one side alone, let the baby face help to guard outside, and hurry up to change clothes.

Just like the last time at home, Ning Zhi still turned his back to Mingshu most of the time, and followed Mingshu's command in silence.

This time, neither of them spoke much, and the atmosphere was frozen.

The leather jacket was worn to the waist, Ning Zhi suddenly asked: "Is there something on your mind?"

Ming Shu replied directly: "No."

"You were distracted again just now," Ning Zhi said, "you have been absent-minded all morning."

Ming Shu refused to admit it, "No way, I just woke up."

Ning Zhi didn't believe it, which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, and said: "Since last night, you have been in a bad mood."

Ming Shu wanted to refute again, but he didn't want to go into details, so he said slowly, "I'm not in a bad mood."
