"You look gorgeous, my baby. You look good in anything. Be a good girl. Wait until I finish reading this document, and then I'll go to bed with you." Fang Siyan said tenderly and affectionately.
"Okay." Ding Ruola replied in a low voice. She took a glance at the document in Fang Siyan's hand and reluctantly went back to the bedroom.
Was she less important than a document? Fang Siyan really looked handsome when he was working intently!
But why did she feel that this man was so far away from her?
Was there a vast gap between their worlds? Was he out of her reach? Was what Professor Lin said right? Ding Ruola fell asleep in a daze, feeling sad.
In her dream, Ding Ruola faintly felt a big hand pulling her into a warm embrace, and a sense of peace came over her.
The sun shone through the window into the room, brightening it up.
The movement of the person beside her waking up startled Ding Ruola.
Ding Ruola rubbed her eyes sleepily. Just as she was about to get up, she heard the man's gentle voice, "Baby, sleep a little longer. I'm going to work. Be a good girl."
When Ding Ruola opened her eyes, she saw Fang Siyan already dressed. He was lying on his side beside the bed, propping his head up with one hand. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Okay." She put her arms around Fang Siyan's neck and gave him a smooch.
Fang Siyan smiled and planted a kiss on Ding Ruola's forehead.
The man was so gentle and affectionate, but the moment he turned around, Ding Ruola still felt a twinge of sourness in her heart and thought he seemed a bit strange.
She didn't know if it was because of what Professor Lin had said.
She hadn't felt this way before, but now she always thought this man was out of her reach and that there was a huge gap between her and Fang...
Ding Ruola looked at herself in the mirror and felt a pang of inferiority.
[Are you free?] Ding Ruola lowered her head and sent a message to Bi Shuang dejectedly.
[What's up?]
[Do you have classes? Come out and play!]
At a milk - tea shop.
Ding Ruola was listlessly sipping a cup of milk tea, looking completely unenthusiastic.
Bi Shuang was wearing a yellow floral dress and a trendy big sun hat.
Seeing Ding Ruola sitting in a corner, Bi Shuang took off her hat and ran over with a smile.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so down? Did your Fang treat you coldly again? Don't be afraid with me around! Conquer him! We'll make a long - term plan. It's no problem to win over a few Fangs."
Bi Shuang winked at Ding Ruola. Her black, shiny eyes were full of determination.
"Pfft." Hearing Bi Shuang's words, Ding Ruola felt a bit better.
"Hehe, I just always feel that there's a big gap between Fang and me!"
"I always feel that I'm holding him back and that I haven't really fit into his world." Ding Ruola's voice got softer and softer. She lowered her head and took a big slurp of her milk tea at the end.
Just as Bi Shuang took a sip of the lemonade the waiter had brought, she choked, "……??!"
"Are you feeling inferior now?" Bi Shuang was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on a serious and mysterious look and slowly came up with a solution.
"It's okay! You can improve yourself and become as excellent as your Professor Fang! Work hard to reach the top and stand shoulder to shoulder with the man you love!"
"Yeah, I've also been thinking about this. But I don't know where to start." Ding Ruola lowered her eyes and pouted, looking conflicted.
"Crush everyone in your major? Make your Fang notice you?"
"I completed all the four - year college courses in my sophomore year and won the National Encouragement Scholarship in every major exam."
"And I got an offer from Parsons."
Ding Ruola reminded her obediently, her eyes shining with expectation.
Bi Shuang: "……"
"Work hard to win the highest award in the world - class design competition?"
"I won the first prize in the world - class design competition held in Tokyo in my freshman year and the championship in the Milan International Fashion Design Competition last year."
"I also have four other similar international awards."
Ding Ruola thought for a while and added, shrugging her shoulders at Bi Shuang disappointedly.
Bi Shuang: "……"
The corner of her mouth twitched. Why did she torture herself like this? She had forgotten that this girl was the famous campus belle and talented student of University B!
"I don't know what to do then." Bi Shuang looked at Ding Ruola embarrassedly, her face turning gloomy.
Ding Ruola was extremely intelligent. The achievements she had made were heights that others might not reach in many years! She was the super - talented campus belle of University B!
Thinking about the most difficult subject in which two - thirds of the students in the major failed, Ding Ruola had scored full marks.
Remembering this, Bi Shuang didn't want to talk anymore. She took a big gulp of the lemonade in her cup, feeling frustrated.
Ding Ruola, who was a bit disappointed, also dejectedly picked up her second big cup of milk tea...
They didn't say a word for a long time. There was an awkward silence.
After a while, Ding Ruola's eyes suddenly lit up. "I've got an idea!"
"What?"
"Professional problems should be solved by professional people!"
"Huh?"
"I remember Fang has a good friend from middle school. He works in the media industry! He's the boss of Pandora Media and Culture Company."
"He often comes to our house as a guest. I heard he's doing quite well."
"Okay. Then you can ask him for some good advice..."
Ding Ruola was a bit excited after coming up with a solution.
She wanted to settle this before Fang Siyan came back!
As soon as they finished their milk tea, the two of them went to Pandora Media and Culture Company together.
"Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Gu Sen."
To see the president? The girl at the front desk immediately became defensive. She sized up Ding Ruola and Bi Shuang beside her.
Although they were somewhat good - looking, they looked like poor, just - graduated students.
Nowadays, college students were always unrealistic, always dreaming of getting something for nothing. What did such people want to see the president for? Did they come to offer themselves in the hope of being favored by the president?
Thinking of this, the front - desk lady looked at Ding Ruola with a hint of disgust in her eyes. "Sorry, it seems our company isn't recruiting new people recently."
"Ah? No, I have some private business to discuss with Mr. Gu Sen." Ding Ruola stared at her with a pair of innocent and bright eyes and explained eagerly.
The front - desk lady raised her eyebrows and gave Ding Ruola a disdainful look. "Private business? Girls should be well - behaved. Don't always think about unrealistic things and do some shady things."
"Hey, who are you talking about? Who do you think is doing shady things?" Bi Shuang got angry as soon as she heard this.
Which eye of hers saw that they looked like bad students who sold themselves?
"Um, why are you arguing? What's going on?" Ding Ruola twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling a bit pained.
Before she could react, she saw the woman make a call on the intercom. Then a group of security guards in black uniforms came out and walked towards Ding Ruola and Bi Shuang.
Seeing this, Bi Shuang was really furious.
There were still some onlookers in the hall. The front - desk girl was feeling proud. It was her first day at work. She had graduated from a vocational college and had been unemployed at home for half a year. She still hadn't found a job.
