Shi Jingnian raised his hand to straighten his tie. He behaved calmly. His eyebrows were a little indifferent as he lowered his eyes. He wanted to bend down to pick up the sketchbook and paintbrush that fell on the ground.

The paintbrush rolled down to Ji Ning'an's feet, and the azure skirt was elegant and beautiful.

The delicate white fingers picked up the paintbrush and sketchbook on the ground faster than him, handed them to him with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Professor Shi."

The sketchbook is still stuck on the outline that Shi Jingnian drew with lines at will, which is her appearance.

After a two-second pause, Shi Jingnian stared at her and accepted: "Thank you."

Ji Ning'an didn't dare to look into his eyes at all. Her gaze flickered past his sharp jaw. Her lips were a little thin and cold, but she looked away for a second.

Her throat was a little dry and astringent, and she couldn't say a word. Her whole body felt hot, so she had to sit stiffly in place.

There is still such a strange and strange temperature on the lips that cannot be wiped off.

She bit her lower lip unconsciously, and her little tiger teeth touched her lips, feeling numb and numb.

It seemed that the moment she touched the cold skin, the feeling became more and more weird. She sweated on her back and pursed her lips uncomfortably several times, feeling a little dry.

When the soft tip of the tongue licked the corner of the lips without knowing it, it was stained with a bit of water color, making it more crimson and radiant.

Shi Jingnian paused with his fingertips holding the paintbrush, changed his posture, and looked directly at her casually: "Do you mind if I continue painting?"

Ji Ning'an's mind was filled with the ambiguous scene of just two seconds. When she suddenly heard his words, she still didn't react and stumbled to answer.

"No...don't mind."

The atmosphere became quiet and there was no more unnecessary conversation.

Until the car stopped outside her community, Ji Ning'an almost opened the car door with relief.

If she continues to stay with Shi Jingnian like this, she will really go crazy. Her heart will be gnawed by ants every minute and every second, as if she is being roasted in a stove.

She got out of the car, paused for a second or two when closing the door, and whispered her thanks.

"I still have something to do. Please say hello to your father for me and I will visit you another day." Shi Jingnian said coldly, his voice like a lonely moon.

"Okay." Ji Ningxin's head was pounding and she couldn't speak, and she closed the car door.

Shi Jingnian withdrew his gaze, placed his sketchbook aside, and tapped his knees with his fingertips.

However, the car door was not closed tightly. With her fair and slender fingers on it, the girl looked straight at him with her clear eyes, filled with sunlight.

"Professor Shi, when will you come back from Wenzhou?"

Ji Ning'an struggled with this sentence all the way whether he should ask it, or he said it impulsively at the last moment.

When Shi Jingnian heard the words, he raised his eyes and looked at her. His eyes were dark and calm, almost cold. The sunlight turned into broken gold and reflected in his pupils. The pressure was silent and made Ji Ning'an breathe slightly.

After a long while, he replied gently and leisurely: "As short as three to five days, as long as half a month."

The sound is clear and low-magnetic, very pleasant.

That kind of gentleness is like the attitude that elders should have towards younger generations.

Ji Ning'an tightened her fingers on the car door: "Then next week's class..."

He smiled lightly: "I'll try my best."

"Okay." Ji Ning'an smiled obediently, "Professor Shi, see you next time."

He nodded slightly and did not respond to the second half of her sentence.

The car door is completely closed.

"Let's go." Shi Jingnian raised his wrist and looked at the time, his tone calm.

The driver held the steering wheel and turned around, heading towards the airport opposite the community.

They were going directly to the international airport, but when they passed Tingde Avenue halfway, Shi Jingnian suddenly asked him to stop.

I don’t know what the relationship between this Miss Ji and her husband is?

Love? But Mr. Shi’s attitude doesn’t look like it either.

What on earth is it!

He didn't dare to ask any more questions, and the whole journey was silent.

After arriving at the airport, I met someone.

"Jingnian." Zheng Qiling said hello and smiled sweetly, "I heard that you are going to attend an art exhibition in Wenzhou, so I came to see you off."

This is the news she got from Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi wished that Shi Jingnian, a piece of ice that could not understand the charm, would fall into the gentle countryside, so he naturally tried every means to match him.

If work didn't allow it, Zheng Qiling would also like to go with Shi Jingnian.

Shi Jingnian did not attend lk's offline meeting, and Zheng Qiling had no intention of going, so she had to give up.

When Shi Jingnian saw her, his voice was slightly cold: "Sorry, no need to do it next time. Xu Si, call Miss Zheng a car."

The driver picked up a suitcase and followed Shi Jingnian. He agreed and planned to call Zheng Qiling a ride-hailing car on his mobile phone. He was polite but distant: "Miss Zheng, where are you going back?"

Zheng Qiling was a little embarrassed and could feel Shi Jingnian's displeasure.

This displeasure was not directed at her, but at the old man's behavior behind the scenes. She felt unhappy in her heart, looking at the man's handsome and cold eyebrows.

People come and go in the airport. His outgoing personality, slender and ascetic, can always be noticed at first sight. He is like an ancient painting that is incompatible with the hustle and bustle of the world. The black tie matches the white shirt collar, the lapel pin is sharp and cold, and the Adam's apple

The lines are crisp and sexy.

Under his short black hair, he has deep eyes, a high nose, and a cold white side face. He has an artistic aura of loneliness and arrogance, like a wild pine growing in a mountain stream.

Out of politeness, he would rather let the driver call her a cab than let the driver take Zheng Qiling back in person. It was obvious that the driver would not follow him to board the plane.

Zheng Qiling thought so and felt very sad: "No, I just want to go back by myself. I still want to go shopping."

The assistant has already rushed over, wearing a smart suit and being respectful: "Mr. Shi, there are still five minutes until boarding time."

Shi Jingnian nodded, said goodbye to Zheng Qiling, and walked to the ticket gate with a long and straight back.

Zheng Qiling watched him leave. It took a long time to come back to her senses and asked the driver: "Is he busy recently?"

As is customary in the New Year, unless you have a busy schedule, you won’t be stuck in time to come here.

Driver: "..."

How should he answer this? Did he say that he sent a girl home?

Miss Zheng might explode after hearing this.

Moreover, Shi Jingnian never liked to disclose his personal affairs. In line with his professional ethics and his infinite respect for the big boss, the driver smiled and replied: "There was a small problem with the car on the road, which delayed some time."

"So that's it, then did he say when he would come back?"

"Not really."

"Okay."

Zheng Qiling was a little disappointed, but she was unwilling to give in: "Then can you take me back easily? There is no need to waste taxi money."

The driver couldn't express his pain, and he didn't dare to make his own decision, so he had to make it up.

"Sorry, I have to go back to Shi's house later. Miss Zheng, I'd better call you a taxi."

Zheng Qiling felt depressed and took the online taxi called by the driver to go back. In order to wait for Shi Jingnian, she didn't eat at noon. She happened to see a newly opened hot pot restaurant on the roadside: "Stop."
