“I have two hundred percent confidence in you, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

She raised her chin proudly and said, “Just take your design, go to the competition and pick up your trophy.”

Ji Qingying: “…”

She glanced at her lightly, and quietly said, “Don’t strain out your friends too much.”

Chen Xinyu laughed.

It’s not that she intended to put pressure on Ji Qingying , just that she knew how good her friend’s skills were.

If it wasn’t for those things that happened in college, Ji Qingying would have been in competition after competition to reveal her outstanding talent.

Thinking about it now, Chen Xinyu took the opportunity to sit down beside her.

“Do you know?”

“What is it?”

Chen Xinyu leaned on her shoulder, “You posted a picture of Jasmine yesterday, and you were mentioned in the class chat in the evening.”

Ji Qingying was startled.

“Why did you mention me?”

Chen Xinyu turned her glaring eyes towards her, "What else could I say? Should I have just taken it as irony and accepted all those satirical words?"

She said, “You were so good in school. I didn’t expect that even two years after graduating, you didn’t work on creating any designs.”

She turned her head and stared at Ji Qingying with a scorching glint in her eyes, “Do you still remember Sun Yijia?”

In order to jog her memories, Chen Xinyu specifically mentioned her past historical deeds, “The one who competed with you everywhere in the school, the one who won the newcomer award in the National Designer Competition last year. She was there in the chat last night. She was still pretending, saying that she didn’t expect you to be the way you are now, and she couldn’t bear to see you like this.”

At the end, Chen Xinyu was panting with rage as she went on, “It made me so angry! I swear if the class monitor was not in the group to persuade me, I would have almost quarreled with her.”

“…”

Ji Qingying couldn’t figure out whether she should laugh or cry.

She stretched out her hand and patted Chen Xinyu’s shoulder to appease her, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, you will get older easily if you get angry.”

Chen Xinyu rolled her eyes.

Ji Qingying smiled and the corners of her lips were bent.She was silent for a while then said, “Others will say what they want, don’t mind them.”

“How about you?”

Chen Xinyu asked.

“You really don’t care at all?”

Hearing this, Ji Qingying paused again before saying, “No, I care.”

She said, “But I am not participating in the competition just because of that matter.”

Most importantly, she was thinking about the future.

She was still young, going on like this wouldn’t be good.

Chen Xinyu wanted to say something, but Ji Qingying had already changed the topic.

“Are you not going back?”

Chen Xin Yu nodded, “No. I will sleep here tonight.”

Ji Qingying laughed while glancing at her meaningfully, and teased, “Your boyfriend won’t urge you?”

“Won’t urge.”

Chen Xinyu took the remote control, turned the TV on, and lazily said, “He has been busy with work recently, so how can he take care of me.”

When Ji Qingying heard this, she felt something was wrong. But seeing that her expression showed nothing wrong, she felt that she was thinking too much.

Before going to sleep, Ji Qingying received a message from Fu Yan Zhi.

[Just finished. ]

She raised her eyes and looked at the time.

It was ten o’clock in the evening.

Ji Qingying paused before she stretched out her hand and rubbed her tired eyes: [Then go home and rest early, good night.]

Fu Yanzhi: [Okay.]

Ji Qingying didn’t dare to disturb him any more. She placed her phone on the bedside table, closed her eyes and slept.

Fu Yanzhi had done three operations in one day.

In their hospital, this kind of workload was common.

After putting down the phone, Fu Yanzhi slowed down in the department before leaving the hospital with his sore eyes.

When he got home, he habitually went to the balcony to take a look.

The flowers were blooming and the balcony next door was pitch black, all quiet, without any sound.

He glanced at the plants and pots on the shelf, and when he was about to close the door, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Ji Qingying: [Are you home?]

Fu Yanzhi was slightly startled: [Not asleep yet?]

Ji Qingying: [Yes. I can’t seem to fall asleep.]

The quality of her sleep was usually very poor, even bordering insomnia from time to time..

It had been going on for a long time.

In the beginning, she took some sleeping pills to fall asleep.

But relying on medicine too much was not good. Ji Qingying forced herself to fall asleep after that, with little effect, but gradually got used to it.

But today she couldn’t seem to force it.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she felt like she was watching a movie, recalling some things that she just didn’t want to remember.

It made her unable to fall asleep.

Ji Qingying was lying in bed, and Chen Xinyu next to her had already fallen asleep.

She quietly got up, walked out with light steps, and closed the door of the room.

She walked towards the balcony.

“Fu Yanzhi.”

Fu Yanzhi, who was standing in his apartment’s balcony, put away his phone and moved closer in the direction of the voice he just heard.

“I am here.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingying bent her lips slightly.

“Why are you so late today?”

“Had to work overtime.”

Ji Qingying said “Ah”, stared at him for a while, then turned to look at the tall building across the lake.

The building had just been repaired, so it became a lot more beautiful from the inside and outside.

At this time of the night, bright lights were shining from top to bottom of the building.
