Anxiously sitting at the desk, Ji Sang suddenly thought of Fu Yisi.
Right, today she officially moved in, so asking him if he wants to have dinner shouldn't be too awkward, right? Ji Sang picked up her phone, opened WeChat, clicked into the chat with Fu Yisi, where the background was empty except for a lonely line:
I've accepted your friend request, now we can start chatting.
Oh, right, at that time, under the pressure of her parents, she was the one who proactively added Fu Yisi on WeChat, and that guy took a whole two days to accept her request.
Rubbing the corner of her brow, Ji Sang felt a headache coming on.
She never knew how to interact with people; among those close to her, it was always the others who initiated contact. She seemed clueless on how to initiate interaction with others, even... if that person was her husband.
What to do? Ji Sang rested her chin on her hand, her lips unconsciously pouting, her usually aloof face now possessing a touch of playful cuteness. Her slender, fair fingers lightly tapped on the phone screen.
Should she send it?
Just as Ji Sang was deep in thought, her fingers, unbeknownst to her, sent Fu Yisi a sticker.
And it was the popular "I'm so south" one.
She had only ever used this sticker when chatting with Su Ge.
Instant recall.
Looking at the successful recall message, Ji Sang breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her chest; she was truly scared to death. But... seeing the new message on the screen, Ji Sang's headache intensified.
Fu Yisi definitely knew she had recalled the message.
Her fingers started to crazily tap lightly; it was a habit of hers, when she was in a bad mood while filming, she would do this, usually helping her mood recover swiftly without affecting her work.
But what about today? Why was she getting more and more panicked?
After a while, Ji Sang, with her fingers almost sore from tapping, still sent a message.
"I made lunch, would you like to have some?"
After sending it, Ji Sang put down the phone, leaned back in her chair, and exhaled deeply.
It was really difficult for someone like her to initiate a message.
After hesitating for a while, Ji Sang decided to pick up the phone again, and seeing that he hadn't replied yet, she actually felt a bit delighted.
She served herself a full bowl of Eight Treasure Rice
"It's not that I want to waste food, it's just that he didn't reply to my message, I've already tried my best."
Then she looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed.
"I'll start eating."
She had been busy all morning and was already very hungry!
Eating alone might make others feel lonely, but Ji Sang did not feel this way at all, possibly because the feeling of hunger during her childhood was too vivid, she grew up to be a real foodie, and she had a big appetite.
After eating, there wasn't much food left!
Ji Sang looked at the leftovers on the table and pinched her waist.
Hmm, traveling for half a year and enduring hardship, she had lost quite a few pounds! She wanted to gain it back, no worries!
Fu Yisi saw the message at three in the afternoon, and he was just looking at some notifications from the hospital. He wasn't expecting to see her message
Seeing this sentence, a flicker of surprise crossed Fu Yisi's deep eyes.
He thought that they needed some time to adjust to their new roles. But now, it seemed like she was quite proactive?
Fu Yisi never expected that Ji Sang was actually forced to send him this message.
"At work."
"Not eating."
After thinking for a moment, Fu Yisi sent another message.
"Thank you."
This time, nearly all the hospital matters were settled, and Fu Yisi had some leisure time. Rarely without a book in hand, he stared at his phone, seemingly waiting for a reply.
Ten minutes passed, his phone remained silent.
Fu Yisi felt like a fool, not knowing why he was waiting for her message. He put down the phone and picked up the case file placed aside.
When Xiao Zhang, the assistant doctor, came in and saw him like this, he quickly put the medical report on the table, said something, and hurriedly left.
Even though he had been with Dr. Fu for some time, he was still quite intimidated by him!
On the other side, Ji Sang really didn't intentionally not reply to Fu Yisi's message. After winning the award, someone from the city TV station contacted her, offering her a special appointment as a photographer for the station. As it happened, she wanted to stay in S city for a while, so she agreed to meet with the head. The meeting was set for today at three in the afternoon at a coffee shop in the city center.
There were few people in the coffee shop at that hour, and Ji Sang recognized the head of the TV station immediately by his meticulous dress, which was quite conspicuous in the coffee shop.
Ji Sang walked over, asked in a soft voice,
"Are you Mr. Lu Ming?"
Lu Ming stood up and extended his hand gentlemanly,
"Hello, I am Lu Ming, you must be Miss Ji Sang Ji."
Ji Sang smiled stiffly, gently shook his hand, and then let go. Lu Ming was not offended at all, but politely gestured towards the seat,
"Miss Ji, please have a seat."
Ji Sang sat down, her expression cold, but inside she was extremely flustered.
She was not good at interacting with people, and only barely agreed to come out after being vigorously persuaded by her best friend Su Ge.
She said: Ah Shang, you can't just limit yourself to this small world, it would be a waste of your talents.
So, she accepted Lu Ming's invitation.
Lu Ming discreetly observed Ji Sang sitting across from him, and almost instantly, he was certain that this renowned photographer wasn't fond of socializing. Dressed simply in a White T-shirt and jeans, she seemed to embrace a casual spontaneity.
"What would Miss Ji like to drink?"
"Black coffee."
Lu Ming's eyebrows lifted. The black coffee here was intensely bitter, hard to imagine someone so delicate-looking enjoying such a thing.
Truly an artist's preference.
After the order, Lu Ming chuckled lightly,
"I didn't expect Miss Ji to accept the invitation, really grateful."
Ji Sang slightly curled the corners of her mouth, not speaking.
When the coffee arrived, Lu Ming had a good grasp of Ji Sang's nature and went straight to the point.
After listening to what Lu Ming had to say, Ji Sang's face didn't show much change, only she said while looking at the cup of coffee in her hand,
"I would like to add a condition."
A flicker of scrutiny flashed in Lu Ming's eyes,
"What condition would Miss Ji like?"
It was then that Ji Sang finally lifted her head to look at him, her eyes avoiding his stare.
"If I need to go out for location shooting, I hope your station won't interfere too much."
Ji Sang said this with a firm gaze, and Lu Ming was inadvertently mesmerized.
This demeanor, so much like himself back then, intensely determined for what he wanted.
Almost without thinking, Lu Ming nodded.
"Of course, isn't it a special appointment?"
Ji Sang smiled.
That was the most sincere smile he had seen since she entered the coffee shop, so Lu Ming smiled as well.
