Mr. Manager, please take your seat

At 07:30 on Wednesday night, Rong Jingxi and Lin Shiqi sat face to face in the restaurant they used to frequent.

It's been almost two weeks since this woman came back, but she hasn't contacted me for a long time. She was worried that she would disappear silently like before. Rong Jingxi took the initiative to contact her, and finally invited her with an ultimatum. out.

But when they really met, the atmosphere was embarrassingly quiet. After all, the window paper was pierced, and it was impossible to get along with each other without any scruples like before.Rong Jingxi was afraid that if she accidentally said the wrong thing, it would make Lin Shiqi sad.

After thinking about it, she picked the most indifferent topic: "How are you going out to play?"

"Well, I encountered a lot of interesting things on the road," Lin Shiqi recalled, with a forced smile, "It's just that I accidentally lost my passport and came back in a mess. I couldn't bring gifts for you and Kexin."

"Could it be that I was waiting for you to come back because I was looking forward to your gift?" Rong Jingxi was very disappointed with Lin Shiqi's answer, "You clearly know what I care about, are we so unfamiliar that only polite small talk is left? "

Seeing the other party biting her lower lip and not speaking, Rong Jingxi sighed softly, "The Lin Shiqi I know won't disappear without a reason, which makes people worry."

Worry?During the days when she was not around, she was not with Mu Ning all the time, even when they met by chance that day, the two of them appeared at the same time, that intimate scene was like a needle in Lin Shiqi's eyes.

She stirred the sauce on the plate, and said angrily: "Hehe, I thought you were busy with dating and didn't have time to worry about other things..."

When she raised her eyes, she noticed that Rong Jingxi's face was slightly pale. Lin Shiqi was startled, and immediately regretted what she said deliberately, and apologized angrily: "I'm sorry, I didn't blame you..."

Knowing that she still has weight in her heart, knowing that she is really worried about herself, and clearly thinking about everything on the way back, why do you want to prove that she cares by hurting her?This selfish thought made Lin Shiqi almost ashamed.

Rong Jingxi shook her head, "I understand your feelings. But you know that I—"

"I know, I know it all."

Lin Shiqi interrupted her, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed, "Actually, you don't need to feel guilty about me, after all, emotional matters cannot be controlled. I just wanted to be self-willed, so I left without saying goodbye. To travel so far."

She smiled at Rong Jingxi, "I don't want to force you to do anything, and I don't want to force you to choose between us and Mu Ning. I think clearly, Xiaoxi, as long as you feel happy with her , I'm fine."

"You still want to treat me as a friend?"

"Of course, after knowing each other for ten years, even if you don't get love, you still have family affection." Lin Shiqi's nose was sour, "I will carefully keep this relationship until I can forget it, Xiaoxi, we I sincerely hope that you will live a happy life. Because of my selfishness, it has affected you, and I am very sorry, really."

Rong Jingxi could see Lin Shiqi's suppressed emotions, how could she never experience the feeling of liking someone but not getting a response?Rong Jingxi is very clear about Lin Shiqi's contributions over the years, but she has put Mu Ning in her heart, so she can no longer accept others.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, we will still be good friends in the future."

Lin Shiqi didn't want Rong Jingxi to be embarrassed, so she pretended to be relaxed and said: "No one will mention it in the future, just treat me as a face, and let's pretend that we have never confessed, okay?"

There was an indescribable feeling in Rong Jingxi's heart, she moved her lips, and only three words came to her mind: "Thank you..."

"How can we say thank you?" Lin Shiqi pushed the prepared sauce in front of Rong Jingxi, "I'm hungry after eating."

"Um……"

Looking at Rong Jingxi who was drinking tea with her head down, the smile on Lin Shiqi's face gradually faded.

The green tea in hand exudes heat and spreads between the two, like a layer of invisible barrier, just like the distance between them, they can get very close, but they can never get her.

Letting go of a relationship is always easier said than done.

Sometimes Lin Shiqi wonders if it is because the two are too familiar that the relationship can only stay above friendship and below love, but Mu Ning's existence makes her unable to ignore it.

Obviously meeting the same person in the same place at the same time, Rong Jingxi's choice was not Lin Shiqi.

Do you need a reason to like someone?

She fell in love with her best friend unknowingly, but she has been silently pretending to be another person in her heart.Lin Shiqi never thought that Rong Jingxi would really like that Mu Ning who is full of flaws. She has a bad temper, is inconsiderate, and is selfish, so people with two extreme personalities can attract each other.

She sighed softly, and curled her mouth in a self-deprecating way, love is not funny, it's just inexplicable.

Since you can't get it, at least let the person you love be happy, and then you will feel happy to some extent...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After dinner, Rong Jingxi planned to drive Lin Shiqi home, but when she picked up the car, she saw something pinned to the front windshield.

"These people who post small advertisements indiscriminately are really annoying, they can be placed anywhere."

At first, Lin Shiqi thought it was a small advertising leaflet that some people stuffed indiscriminately, so she stretched out her hand to pull it, but when she got closer, she saw clearly that it was a paper bag the size of an envelope. When she squeezed it, the inside was very hard.

She looked around and said to herself naturally while tearing it apart, "Huh? What is it?"

Rong Jingxi didn't pay attention to it at first, and opened the car door by herself, only to find that Lin Shiqi's expression suddenly changed when she opened the envelope, and then looked at herself with a strange look.

"Shiqi, what's wrong?"

Lin Shi looked serious, and handed the opened envelope to Rong Jingxi, Rong Jingxi took it, and was surprised to see some photos related to herself.

Downstairs of the company, coffee shop, pedestrian street, living quarters, hospitals, places are almost everywhere in life, and the person who took the sneak shot obviously knows her daily work and rest very well.

Rong Jingxi suddenly remembered the package containing dead mice a few days ago, could it be made by the same person?

"Xiaoxi..." Lin Shiqi grabbed her arm uneasily, "Did something happen to you recently? How could someone secretly take pictures of you? You're so perverted..."

Before Rong Jingxi could answer, the phone in the bag buzzed.Rong Jingxi freed one hand to get the phone, and the caller ID showed a completely unfamiliar number.

She instinctively had something to do with these photos, she glanced at Lin Shiqi and answered the phone.

On the other end of the airwaves was a completely unfamiliar voice: "Miss Rong, do you like these photos? I specially made the protagonist very beautiful."

"Who are you?" Rong Jingxi frowned, "Why did you do this?"

"I'm just a person who cares about Miss Rong, and I want to add some excitement to your boring life."

"You also made the package that was sent to the company?"

"It's rare that you still remember my gift. Is it fun?"

"What on earth are you doing all this for?" Rong Jingxi's expression became more and more serious, "I don't think you just want to tease me, do you?"

"Tsk tsk, what are you doing so serious with such a beautiful face? It will make me feel guilty."

Rong Jingxi's heart skipped a beat, she looked around subconsciously, and the person on the phone immediately spoke again: "What are you looking for, are you looking for me? Are you already nervous?"

She immediately realized that the person who secretly filmed herself was still watching and was nearby.Rong Jingxi forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart, Lin Shiqi was still by her side, if anything happened at this time, she would definitely be implicated.

"Xiaoxi, whose call is it?" Lin Shiqi felt more and more strange as she looked at it, "What did he say? You told me?"

"Your friend cares about you very much," the person on the phone giggled, "Should I prepare another gift for your parents..."

"What on earth do you want?" Rong Jingxi interrupted his banter sullenly, "If you have anything to do with me, don't harass my parents!"

"Oh, is that so? You can ask me not to harass your family. As long as you agree to my conditions, I will guarantee the safety of you and the people around you."

"What conditions?"

"It's very simple. Leave Huidong and take your parents away from here. The farther you go, the better."

"What did you say?" Rong Jingxi was extremely surprised, "I don't understand, why?"

This request is really unimaginable. Without extorting property, but you have to resign and leave Huidong yourself. Could it be that your own existence will threaten the other party's interests?

"You don't need to ask so much. As long as you do what I say, I will never show up again. Remember, I will give you a week to submit your resignation letter. Otherwise, I will let you feel what it means to be real. fear."

The other party hung up the phone immediately after speaking, Rong Jingxi could only stare at the blacked out screen in a daze.

Lin Shiqi grabbed her hand, "Xiaoxi, what's the matter with you? Who is calling and what did he say to you? Why did someone secretly take pictures of you? Did you offend some enemy?"

Rong Jingxi's thoughts were in chaos, how could she answer Lin Shiqi's many questions?

She pulled the other party around and opened the car door, "I'll tell you about these things later, you get in the car first, and I'll take you home."

"Where are you going then?"

"I'm going to the hospital to see my mother." Rong Jingxi was very disturbed by the pile of photos of inauthentic origin. Her home address and even her father's ward number in the hospital were all made transparent. How can I stop myself from going too far.

"Then I'll go with you!"

"No, you go home first."

"Xiao Xi, I can't ignore your business. I'll go back first unless you tell me what happened." Lin Shiqi stared at her disappointedly, "You'd tell me everything before."

Rong Jingxi knew Lin Shiqi's character well, and she was worried about Yun Jin's situation right now, she was not in the mood to persuade her friend anymore, she paused for a few seconds and closed the car door and hurried to the hospital.
