Tang Yi'an's eyes paused slightly, she stared at Xiaomei who was licking her fur under the sun room not far away, and said lightly: "Got it."

She hung up the phone and was stunned for a while before she realized it.

The friend Ah Wei mentioned was Zhong Ruan.

For some reason, there was a vague crisis in her heart.

In Xicheng Community, Mi Xingwei entered Zhong Ruan's room with a lunch box. Zhong Ruan was sitting by the window. When she turned around and saw her coming, she was taken aback for a moment before asking, "Why are you here?"

Mi Xingwei put the lunch box on the coffee table and asked her, "Are you alright?"

Zhong Ruan hummed and said, "Okay."

Mi Xingwei walked over, and Zhong Ruan sat by the window, right up to her chest, and raised her head slightly when looking at her.Mi Xingwei took advantage of the situation to reach out her hand to feel the temperature of her forehead, tried the temperature of her hand, Manman said: "It seems that it is not hot anymore, does it hurt?"

Zhong Ruan shook her head lightly, but did not speak. Seeing the lunch box she was carrying, Mi Xingwei hurriedly picked it up and put it in front of her to open it, saying: "This is hand-rolled noodles. There is someone celebrating her birthday today. It is her." The noodles I rolled by myself, I brought you a copy by the way, it's delicious, have you had it for lunch?"

Zhong Ruan glanced down at the steaming hot noodles in front of her, and the aroma rushed over her. She hadn't eaten since yesterday, and her stomach was already empty.She pursed her lips, looked at the tomato beef brisket noodles in the lunch box, and said with a trembling voice, "This is specially brought for me..."

"Yeah, you should eat some pasta when you're sick to nourish your stomach." Mi Xingwei sat down beside her, looked up at her and said.

"Do you have chopsticks?" Mi Xingwei asked, turning her head to look.

Zhong Ruan said: "Here they are, left over from the last time I ordered takeaway." She picked up the disposable chopsticks stuck in the pen holder on the table.

Zhong Ruan lowered her head and started to eat. Mi Xingwei stood up and asked her softly, "The person you share the rent with is called Huimin, right?"

Zhong Ruan was slightly stunned, looked up at her, hummed lightly, and said, "Do you know her?"

"I know her, she is Tang Yi'an's assistant." Mi Xingwei said.

Zhong Ruan lowered his head to eat the noodles, and realized that Mi Xingwei was Tang Yi'an's fiancée, so he lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, you should know her."

Mi Xingwei pulled up the chair and sat beside her, leaning her hands on the table, staring at the person in front of her, and suddenly asked: "Zhong Ruan, why...why don't you want to act in "Ming Jin"?"

Zhong Ruan's hand holding the chopsticks froze suddenly, she raised her head from the bowl, her eyes were slightly disappointed, she stared blankly at the person in front of her, her eyes were shining like stars in the sky.Zhong Ruan asked softly, "Have you met He Lan?"

Mi Xingwei noticed the change in her expression, and she hummed lightly.

Zhong Ruan looked down at the longevity noodles in the bowl, slightly pulled the corners of his mouth, showing a faint smile, and said, "He Lan didn't tell you, why don't I want to act?"

Mi Xingwei pursed her lips, but did not speak.

Zhong Ruan looked out the window, from here, it happened to be the roof of the previous building, and there were a few birds flying around on the eaves.

With her thoughts drifting away, she said lightly:

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was an orphan. She didn't know who her parents were, and she didn't know when she was born or what her name was. Later, someone adopted her, and that person was very kind to her at first. After raising her, this man married a wife who was her stepmother, and the stepmother brought a brother with a different surname, who was two years older than her."

Zhong Ruan's hand holding the chopsticks trembled twice, she paused, with vague pain in her eyes, she raised her breath and continued: "When I was 14 years old, that brother sexually assaulted the girl, and the girl accidentally killed someone , that was the day after she turned 14, for which she served three years and six months in prison."

She looked at the free-flying birds outside the window, tears dripped into the noodle soup next to her hand, she lowered her eyes, with a bitter smile on her lips, and said lightly: "Where is there any real empathy in this world, if there is, That must have been experienced personally. So, do you still want me to act in Bai Sitong's life?"

Mi Xingwei frowned and froze in place. She tried her best to raise the corners of her lips. She didn't know how to speak for a moment. She silently looked at the person in front of her, and remembered that night, when she was on the Tinghu cruise ship, she met him for the first time. To Zhong Ruan's situation.

Such a bright, smiling person...

Life is so shocking.

Mi Xingwei lowered her eyes, she shouldn't have come, she shouldn't have come up with such a cruel idea.

She also finally understood why He Lan wanted Zhong Ruan to play the role of Bai Sitong, and Bai Sitong's life... no one knew better than her.

"I'm sorry..." Mi Xingwei said softly. At this moment, she didn't know what to say except this sentence.

What Zhong Ruan said is right, there is no real empathy in this world, and no one can understand the feelings she experienced except herself.

Zhong Ruan looked down at the lunch box in front of her, the antipyretics on the table, and the antipyretic stickers... She suddenly said, "So these are good, is it because of He Lan's suggestion? You and He Lan designed a gentle trap. Watch me make the last struggle, and then jump in without hesitation?"

In this world, it has been a long time since no one has treated her so carefully...

But it wasn't really true.

When Mi Xingwei heard her words, she suddenly felt pain deep in her heart, as if being stabbed by the tip of a knife. Her eyebrows twitched heavily. She pursed her lips without saying a word, stood up and went out.When she walked to the door, she turned her head slightly, and said softly: "Whether you believe it or not, I did this purely out of my friend's concern. Maybe there was a little bit of selfishness, but I never thought about it." She paused for a moment, "I'm going to lie to you."

Zhong Ruan didn't speak, holding the chopsticks in his hand, lowered his head to hold the lunch box in front of him, smiled faintly, and tears fell drop by drop.

Dad once told her that if you want to get your sincerity, you need to exchange your sincerity.

It's a pity that she spent the first half of her life without learning this truth.

Mi Xingwei opened the door and went out. When she walked to the living room, she happened to run into Huimin who came out of the room. She felt sore. When she glanced at her, she tried her best to smile, and said softly, "Huimin."

"Why are you leaving?" Hui Min said softly.

Mi Xingwei hummed in a nasal voice, and said, "I'm leaving."

Huimin was about to speak, but when she saw that the people beside her had already opened the door and went out, she was stunned for a while, and when she saw the door slam shut, she turned her head and glanced at Zhong Ruan's room.

Walking to the opposite room, Huimin knocked on the door. Before there was a sound from the room, she pushed the door open and went in. She blurted out, "What's wrong with Xingwei? Her eyes seem to be red..."

Before Hui Min could speak, she caught a glimpse of Zhong Ruan's eyes turning her head back, and she froze.There was coldness and indifference in those eyes, as if there was another moment of pain, she had never seen Zhong Ruan like this.

Zhong Ruan paused for a moment, then raised her eyebrows again after a while, regaining her usual unruly and relaxed manner, and asked, "Do you want to eat noodles? Your boss made it himself."

Huimin walked over suspiciously, glanced at the noodles in her lunch box, curled her lips and said she would not eat, "Give me the rest, you don't mind drooling, I think you have caught a cold and give it to me."

The way the two of them get along has always been like this, Zhong Ruan has long been used to it.Hui Min pushed her with her elbow and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Zhong Ruan hummed and said, "Okay."

With gossip-like eyes, Hui Min sat on the chair next to her and asked, "Ham, how did you meet Mi Xingwei?"

Zhong Ruan lowered her head to eat the noodles again, and said truthfully: "She asked me to act in her new movie."

Huimin obviously didn't believe it, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't tease you, Mi Xingwei's new movie is called "Ming Jin", which is our company's key IP this year, can I find you a little actor?"

Zhong Ruan smiled, but did not speak.

"Go to the kitchen and bring me a lump of garlic."

Huimin frowned, and asked, "Why eat garlic? It smells bad, and besides, how can there be garlic at home?"

"Sterilization." Zhong Ruan said, "I went back to the supermarket to buy it, it's on the second floor above the closet, go." Then he took out a ten-yuan bill from the drawer and handed it to her.

Huimin caught a glimpse of the ten yuan she handed over, and after a two-second pause, she reached out to take it and put it in her pocket.

The wages of avarice is death.

"You wait." Huimin took the money and went out to find Garlic.

Mi Xingwei went downstairs and just walked to the entrance of the community. She glanced at the luxury car at the intersection and was stunned. She looked up and saw the person standing beside the car. She walked over quickly and said in surprise: "Tang Yi'an!? Why are you here? gone?"

Tang Yi'an leaned against the car window with his chest folded, and when he heard Mi Xingwei's voice, he straightened his back and stood up. He was stunned for half a second, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I heard Huimin say that you came here."

Mi Xingwei carried the bag on her shoulders, and looked at her in disbelief, "Huimin... said that?"

Tang Yi'an showed embarrassment, she changed the subject calmly, and said, "By the way, I'm going to take Xiaomei to deworming today, I don't know which one it is, you have always taken it before."

Mi Xingwei looked into the car, and sure enough, she saw a space capsule-style cat bag on the co-pilot, and through the transparent cover, Xiaomei stretched her head to look around.

Mi Xingwei frowned, and asked: "Has it been three months since the last time? Xiaomei gets rid of insects once every three months. It's on the road next to the coffee shop on Xingming Street. There is a cat house. The villa is not far away. Before I left, I told Aunt Zhao, didn't she tell you?" She said while reaching out to tease the cat.

Tang Yi'an was stunned for a moment, then said deliberately, "No, Aunt Zhao probably forgot."

[Aunt Zhao, who was dancing in the square at the moment, suddenly stopped and sneezed two times in succession. 】

Mi Xingwei let out a sigh, didn't think about anything else, and said directly: "Then let's go." She opened the car door and sat in, picked up the cat schoolbag and put it on her lap.

Tang Yi'an slightly pursed the corners of his lips, turned to the other side, opened the door and sat in the cab.

The car started, she took Mi Xingwei, Mi Xingwei took the cat, and drove away from the community together.

The weather was fine, and the gentle wind blew in from the car window, blowing her hair and blowing into her heart.

This is a suburb, and it was already past one o'clock when we returned to the city.

Tang Yi'an and Mi Xingwei took Xiaomei to the cat house, asked, and said that it was only a week before the three months.But the man said again: "It's not a problem, regular deworming, three months is just an approximation."

Mi Xingwei smiled and said yes.

The two stood side by side, like parents waiting for their children to leave school.

The store manager hugged Xiaomei and asked them with a smile: "You raised this together, right? It's really well raised, and the hair is dense and shiny."

Tang Yi'an smiled, but did not speak.

The store manager said again: "By the way, there seems to be a little girl before. Why didn't you come over this weekend?"

Tang Yi'an said lightly: "She and her father have gone abroad."

The store manager said oh, but didn't say anything more.

After expelling the insects, Xiaomei was a little depressed, lying motionless in the cat bag, her eyes narrowed.

Tang Yian answered a phone call.

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

The store manager said: "You guys should live nearby. If you are busy, you can leave Xiaomei with me first, and take it back later."

Mi Xingwei also turned to Tang Yi'an and said, "If you're busy, I'll take Xiaomei back."

Tang Yi'an grabbed her arm, turned to the store manager and said, "Then I'll trouble you, we'll come back at night."

Mi Xingwei followed Tang Yian out of the cat house, she turned her head and asked her, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Tang Yi'an looked up at her, and suddenly asked: "You went to find Zhong Ruan today, didn't you?"

Mi Xingwei was stunned for a moment, without denying it, she hummed, and said, "I went to deliver food to her, what's the matter?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone in her pocket rang suddenly, she took it out and looked, it was He Lan calling.

Mi Xingwei was slightly stunned, she glanced at Tang Yi'an suspiciously, then connected the phone, "Hello, Director He."

"Xingwei, Zhong Ruan agreed to play the role of Bai Sitong."
