SWG Chapter 45

Chapter 45

The voice gradually faded, and the car also started smoothly, driving steadily on the night road, the headlights adjusted within a reasonable range dutifully fulfilling their responsibilities.

There was an eerie silence in the car for a moment.

So silent that Ruan Shengyi didn’t dare to turn her head to look.

After a long while, there seemed to be some fumbling in the passenger seat, followed by the soft sound of the handle above her head being pulled open, and finally Xiao Wenyu sighed a long breath, and said faintly, “Ruan, why do you always bring up these topics when the car starts?”

“How am I, who is extremely prone to dying twice at once and can’t beat you right now, supposed to answer this question?”

The question was asked as if Ruan Shengyi was carrying a deep blood feud on her shoulders, and she was afraid that if she didn’t answer correctly, the next second, the Ruan would tear off a layer of human skin mask, holding a fruit knife and smiling evilly, saying, “I am a fugitive with a five million bounty, that scar is actually the edge of my human skin mask, if you find out you can’t escape, Jie Jie Jie Jie.”

Xiao Wenyu was amused by her own thoughts, endured it, couldn’t hold back, covered her lips with her free hand and laughed.

Sorry, she read too many messy novels when she was in school.

Ruan Shengyi was already nervous, and hearing those words made her feel even colder, and her smile made her even more nervous, “What are you laughing at??”

The hand holding the steering wheel trembled, and the car body followed with a tremor, scaring the person in the passenger seat to quickly grab the handle with one hand and cover her lower abdomen with the other, “Hey, hey, drive carefully!!”

Ruan Shengyi calmed down, “Sorry, but I’m telling the truth.”

Xiao Wenyu laughed again, opening her mouth before she could ask, “Does Ruan have a girlfriend?”

“…That was my first kiss.” Someone’s voice was faint, with a hint of resentment.

“Then did she murder and commit arson?”

Ruan Shengyi pondered the actions of those two crazy people, and said, “Probably not.”

Xiao Wenyu leaned back against the door in horror, “Ah?! What do you mean probably? This thing only has ‘will’ and ‘won’t’, there’s no ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’!”

Ruan Shengyi hesitated, “…Then, won’t.”

At this point, Xiao Wenyu understood, it should be related to Ruan Shengyi’s past, which only revealed a little bit and was particularly distressing, maybe the answer to this question was the answer to that scar.

She paused for a second, then raised her voice again, interjecting and joking, “This is a matter of life and death, how can you say it so hesitatingly?”

Ruan Shengyi: …Then how should she say it?

She exhaled a breath, “Won’t.” This time she was decisive.

Xiao Wenyu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, sitting back in her seat steadily, “Then what other urgent matters could there be? If you don’t murder, commit arson, or steal, and you don’t do anything morally corrupt, what else could there be? Have you also been a street thug, and then turned over a new leaf?”

Ruan Shengyi was silent for a moment.

Um, she did follow Chen Yuexin when she first started the bar…

“Wait a minute, why use ‘also’?”

Xiao Wenyu chuckled, “Because my mother used to be a thug, but then fell in love with my other mother at first sight, and stopped being a thug, turned over a new leaf, and became a high school math teacher.”

“…” This transformation is a bit too big.

High school, still math, still thirty years ago.

A certain former delinquent girl with a high school education was momentarily shocked and unable to speak, coughed a few times, and said quietly, “Xiao’s family is truly deeply learned.”

Xiao Wenyu ignored her secretly mocking sarcasm, and asked instead, “So what bad thing did you want to say just now?”

But the atmosphere just now had been disrupted and fragmented, Ruan Shengyi opened her mouth and realized that she seemed to not know how to start, so she simply closed her mouth, exhaled a breath, and said, “Never mind, I won’t say it.”

The other person didn’t respond or comment, only slightly curved the corners of her lips, drawing a faint smile in the deep night.

*

Standing in front of The Fourth Kind of Primary Color, Ruan Shengyi suddenly had a feeling of being close to home but feeling timid.

Although it was too cold, so there weren’t many people going out at night, and the store didn’t need so many people, but she stood across from her own store looking at the busy employees inside, feeling a little sorry.

And also a little smug.

But she should have done this long ago, Chen Yuexin defaulted that she would not be a permanently refreshing NPC in the store after cultivating several capable bartenders, and her appearance probability and location were random every day, and she also began to develop other industries in the city, she did not have the ambition of Chen, but it was right to liberate herself from the store, and her place was far less lively than Le Xin, and could only make a small profit, so she did not need so many people to watch over it.

When she had nowhere to go, she could stay there every day to kill time, but now, she really needed to re-plan her schedule and business hours.

And, although she couldn’t move this place, should she consider doing other industries, she still had some spare money to do some small business.

Xiao Wenyu opened the door, turned to look at her, “Do you want to go back to the store?”

Ruan Shengyi came back to her senses and shook her head.

Xiao Wenyu smiled and turned on the lights in the room, “Then I’ll go get my clothes, will you wait for me to come over and do your makeup?”

Ruan Shengyi’s gaze fell on a leaflet on the side, she walked over and picked up the leaflet, “Photography competition? Did they invite you?”

“Ah.” Xiao Wenyu hummed vaguely, “Xiao Wan brought it back, she wants to go, do I have any need to participate, the stuff I shoot…”

It’s long gone.

She pressed down on the corners of her mouth, so as not to bring out the remaining words together.

Ruan Shengyi looked down at the flyer, thought for a while, “You get your clothes, and then go upstairs to lie down for a while, I’ll just do my own makeup. You’ve been tired all day today, even if you’re not tired, the little one is tired.”

That person really went to the second floor, the voice floating out from inside, “I really have to say, she’s growing quite fast, I feel like my belly has a small visible arc.”

Ruan Shengyi raised her eyebrows, took pictures non-stop, and said gently, “You’re too thin, I saw some online who are over 13 weeks have very obvious bellies.”

“No, it’s because this girl is sensible and put her home on the back wall. It is said that the placenta on the back wall doesn’t show the pregnancy, I hope so.”

Xiao Wenyu was quiet, not knowing if she was looking for clothes or decorating that Angel Growth Record Tree.

It’s strange, before everything was exposed, Xiao Wenyu always asked her if she wanted to go to the second floor to take a look, but after the things on the second floor were discovered, Xiao Wenyu was unwilling to move the tree back home, and no longer allowed her to go to the second floor to see it.

Ruan Shengyi always felt that the fleeting glimpse on the second floor that night, had she missed something.

But now is not the time to dwell on this, Ruan Shengyi quickly took a picture of all the information on the photography competition flyer, put her phone in her pocket, and picked up the foundation when she heard Xiao Wenyu coming down, then provoked a sound of disgust.

“Oh, even if Ruan is naturally beautiful, she can’t just put on foundation without doing a base, right? What were you doing just now, why didn’t you even do a base?”

Ruan Shengyi didn’t change her expression, “I was processing the information that Xie Yu and the others sent over, they haven’t adapted to my life of delegating authority like this.”

“Um, speaking of…” Xiao Wenyu put the clothes on the small sofa on the side, walked over, and took out the skincare samples she put in the store, and said while applying them, “Can your bar be a long-term business?”

The photo studio could, especially after she felt a little better and started thinking about finding a stable business, she told Xiao Yanyue about the county high school coming to her to take pictures, the Big Cat lady snorted, and said that the old things were not blind and hung up the phone to Zhao Wen, probably also understood what Xiao Wenyu meant.

Spring City not only has one county high school, but also three junior high schools, five elementary schools, and even several kindergartens, if she can subtly direct all the business to her here in the future, the series of photos every year is actually a very stable income, especially starting next year this income will start from September, by then the little one will be four or five months old, and she can free up some hands.

But her traffic and connections are not very helpful to Ruan Shengyi.

Sure enough, Ruan Shengyi was silent for a moment, and said, “Let’s do it and see, I still have some spare money, but I don’t dare to make big moves, business is not easy to do these days.”

Xiao Wenyu was slightly surprised, “You still have money? A set of street shops opposite, your house is not small, two cars should also be two to three hundred thousand. Oh my, you’re a rich woman.”

Ruan Shengyi silently raised her hand to hold her wrist, and said softly, “If I was a rich woman…”

There were always some primitive and passionate impulses in her heart, urging her to say something, but her rationality was good at restraint, so the words came to her lips and then swallowed back, and curled her lips.

She hated her own broken personality.

Xiao Wenyu’s hand also fell on the corner of her lips, gently rubbed it, and said in a low voice, “Don’t say it, I haven’t thought about it yet.”

Ruan Shengyi’s heart jumped, opened her eyes to look over, but the other person had already turned to get her big red lip glaze, and sighed impatiently, “If I hadn’t come just now, were you planning to use the things on my makeup table?”

It was as if the soft sound just now was a dream.

Even though there have been many such dreams that have been turned over without a sound between them.

Ruan Shengyi came back to her senses and watched Xiao Wenyu take a disposable brush and dip a little lip glaze, wanting to apply it to her, before she could do that, she said, “Isn’t Xiao’s stuff easy to use?”

Xiao Wenyu covered her head and slapped it, “What are you saying? Can’t do that conscience-lacking thing, what I use here is no different from what I use myself.”

After the lipstick was over, Ruan Shengyi once again had the opportunity to speak, and laughed, “Then why don’t you let me use it?”

“The samples are free, save money.”

Ruan Shengyi: …Okay then.

Save where you should save, spend where you should spend, that’s how you should do the accounting.

Xiao Wenyu saw her curl her lips and laughed, “Not happy?”

“…Non-alcoholic drinks are actually harder to make than alcoholic drinks.”

Oh, this is secretly satirizing her comments about saving money on samples.

Xiao smiled haha, decided to scare her in a while.

She lowered her head to add two eyeshadows, supported this face and put it a little further away, and sighed slightly, “You are simply a natural model.”

Tall and long legs, the head-to-body ratio is perfect, and the figure is also very good, this face naturally exudes coldness, before when she had dark tea-colored long hair, it didn’t poke her that much, now with a haze blue hair, like a cold beauty who drilled out of the deep sea.

It would be great if she was still in Yecheng, if she was still in Yecheng, she could pull her to shoot underwater blockbusters, her dark blue hair topped with the only sky light, so beautiful.

“I have blue-toned colored contact lenses here, do you want to try them? It’s rare to take pictures, let’s take a full set, what’s your prescription?”

“Left four hundred and fifty, right three hundred.”

Xiao Wenyu was surprised, smiled and said what a coincidence, snapped open two daily disposables for her, the hands of the precious Ruan holding this thing were shaking.

God, it’s daily disposables!!

Xiao Wenyu said, “This was brought by a customer before, just the same as your prescription, is it a coincidence?”

“Now are non-alcoholic drinks still hard to make?”

…
