spy on

After drinking all the wine, Song Sen almost fainted.

Lu Lingyou helped him into the guest room and found a blanket to cover Wang Zhao on the sofa. He took a bath and then returned to his bedroom.

Fortunately, it's summer already, otherwise if there was only one quilt in the house, either he or these two would freeze to death.

In the room, the bedding was as smooth as new, but you didn't realize it until you lifted the quilt and lay down on it.

The quilt and pillows were all filled with the faint fragrance of Fang Ning's body.

I was obviously using my own three-dollar soap, but how could I get rid of this smell?

He raised his hand and smelled his arm.

It just smells like soap.

After sighing, the cell phone beside the bed suddenly rang.

Picking it up, I saw it was a WeChat message from Fang Ning.

This is in the middle of the night.-

I'm going to the northwest region these days to attend an event jointly organized by a psychological association and a public welfare association.

Ding, another one.-

I just want to tell you that I may not be able to report to the city bureau these days.

He half-sited up, took the cigarette case nearby and lit another cigarette, and then replied with a good word.

After about ten seconds, the other party was typing intermittently, and finally another one was sent.-

what are you doing.

Lu Lingyou smiled and scratched his scalp. Before he could reply, the screen showed that the other party had withdrawn a message.

Fang Ning had just withdrawn the message and was planning to send a final message such as good night, but the other party called her.

"You were running out of words in the middle of the night, so you thought about it before sending it.

What's wrong?"

Fang Ning curled up in bed, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"What kind of charity activities?"

Listening to her hesitation, Lu Lingyou could only ask himself.

After a pause for two seconds, Fang Ning finally reacted and let out a sigh.

“Ah, it’s a public welfare activity that goes into remote mountainous areas.

Send some supplies to those relatively backward places, and then do some popular science on the necessity of reading to some left-behind children and parents."

Feeling that she might not have explained it clearly enough, she added.

“Most people in these places give birth to children in order to add labor to the family, and there is no concept of sending their children to receive education.

I donated some money to the association before and built several schools there.

But everything was ready, but only a few children were sent there to study. In total, not even one classroom was full.

So they contacted me when they were planning this event.

Experts in various fields and some supporting teachers will go there together."

Lu Lingyou gave a faint hum.

"How long will it take?"

"The whole journey takes more than a month, but I only went to one stop. It probably took more than half a month anyway.

This batch of supplies needs to be distributed to various family units, and transportation there will not be easy soon."

The two of them talked about each other for more than ten minutes.

"You have never been there, the environment and people there are different from what you have been exposed to.

The patients you usually receive can only contact you if they want to seek medical advice no matter how desperate they are.

But it's different in the mountains where you go. They don't recognize psychiatrists or experts. They don't have this concept at all.

Moreover, a large number of people have limited knowledge of the law.

Pay more attention to everything.”

Lu Lingyou gave instructions like an old father. Fang Ning rolled back and forth in bed but didn't dare to let him hear the sound. His tone was still calm.

"Okay, I remember."

How could Lu Lingyou not hear her tossing and turning on the bed? She was smiling and pretending to be casual.

"Then hang up."

Fang Ning exclaimed and sat up from the bed.

"that."

Lu Lingyou didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"Well, I didn't take the key."

Lu Lingyou hummed.

"There are no more three hundred taels of silver here. I saw it.

Okay, hang up and go to bed early."

Fang Ning whispered a long note.

"Okay, you should be early too."

After hanging up the phone, he threw the phone aside.

It's a bad virtue. If you don't take it, you have to say it out loud.

Lighting another cigarette, I remembered a long section of Song Sen's ramblings while drinking just now.

How could he not understand this?

But nothing in this world is necessary, as long as you think about it clearly.

But some things may be caused by fate. Even if you don't touch fate, it will still chase you.

He was like this to Fang Ning, and Fang Ning was like this to him.

Song Sen and Wang Zhao may never understand that, no matter in the past or now, the person who has been hesitating and retreating has never been him.

The next morning, Fang Ning went to the airport alone to prepare to rush to the meeting point to join the expert team.

Shen Qingrang is also on the expert team. After he rushes over from City B, he will pick her up at the airport first.

But Fang Ning didn't mention this on the phone.

In fact, she and Shen Qingrang had always been innocent and had nothing to say, but Lu Lingyou had guessed that when she was injured and hospitalized, Shen Qingrang would be taking care of her at the bedside day and night.

So now it feels awkward to put Shen Qing in front of two people.

It's true what Lu Lingyou said yesterday, there is no three hundred taels of silver here.

As soon as the plane landed in the afternoon, Fang Ning received a WeChat message from Shen Qingrang.

"I'm at Exit B of the airport pick-up hall. You can just come directly after picking up your luggage."

As soon as the two met, Shen Qingrang's smile never stopped.

"Long time no see again.

After you went to G city, I kept flying everywhere.

I was really scared when I watched the news.

I asked on the phone but I still feel uneasy. Now seeing you standing in front of me, it feels a bit real."

Fang Ning shook his head.

"Nothing.

Several police officers were indeed injured at the time, but they have all been discharged from the hospital now.

I haven't had time to thank you for providing accommodation, which saved us a lot of trouble later."

Shen Qingrang didn't take it seriously.

"I don't live there all the time, so there's nothing I can say thank you for.

And hadn't Lu Lingyou already arranged for someone to clean it up completely?

The housekeeping company called and said that when they went there the next week, they even changed the water in the swimming pool."

Fang Ning didn't want to continue talking to her about Lu Lingyou.

She took out a wet wipe from her bag and wiped the dust on the box, then changed the subject.

"But I didn't expect you to be involved this time.

I remember that your schedule of open classes in various places is not over yet."

Shen Qingrang shrugged.

"I am also a member of the Psychological Association.

Mainly for the schools you are planning to build, didn’t my teacher also donate money?

He can also be considered one of the initiators of this event.

He is abroad and won't be able to come back for a while, so I'm going to help him go there.

But for the last stop of this trip, he might come over if he has time.

He also asked me about you and asked you whether you would get used to it after returning to China."

Fang Ning smiled.

“There’s nothing you’re not used to growing up here.

But it’s true that I haven’t seen Teacher Qin for a long time.

A newcomer like me can join the Psychological Association as soon as I return to China. I really want to thank him for recommending some of my papers.

I would also like to thank you for being the recommender for membership.”

The two of them walked out of the airport together.

"You don't have to thank anyone for this.

If you have this professional level, even if I don't recommend it, it will be a matter of time.

Furthermore, I told you at the time, even though there are various big bosses in charge, what the association lacks most is a master with both skill and money like you.

Big bosses also had to look for sponsorship and research funding, not to mention that at that time they were having a headache about withdrawing funding from one of their foundations.

I have negotiated with charity organizations for several projects and all have been implemented, but I won’t be able to get the money for a while.

As soon as you get in, the funds will follow, and they will be eager to keep you alive."

Fang Ning shook her head helplessly.

“The part I participated in is a rare part of the association’s public welfare projects.

Besides, I’m not the only one who paid for these schools, Teacher Qin also took a lot, so didn’t you also pay for them?”

"The teacher and I decided on the amount before you went, and it has nothing to do with you.

To put it simply, you have solved the urgent need of the association at that time, so it is not excessive to give you the title of joining the association.

But this time you have to be mentally prepared. When you arrive at the meeting point, find a pharmacy to buy some motion sickness medicine first.

After we meet up this time, we have to take a two-hour bus ride together.

It's not an easy road, so some people may have suffered a lot.

Moreover, the environment was not very good after entering the mountains, so we could only live in the school’s staff dormitory.”

Fang Ning nodded.

“It’s okay if you can live there, it’s already very good.”

Shen Qingrang observed Fang Ning's expression as he walked. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't help but want to ask about the topic she just interrupted.

"How have you been getting along with that Lu Lingyou recently?" Seeing Fang Ning turn his head, his eyes full of inquiry, he immediately added.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm really curious.

Although I know I have no chance, I have to know who I lost to."

Fang Ning looked at him with a smile.

"You're here again, and I have to take out the 180-year-old almanac and look through it."

Shen Qingrang curled his lips.

"I just didn't expect that you like this type of thing."

Fang Ning also laughed, but was not fooled at all.

"I heard that you went on a blind date?"

Shen Qingrang sighed helplessly.

"Good guy, that girl Jiang Moyu's mouth is really quick.

I won’t dare chat with her easily in the future.”

After arriving at the gate, the two of them got into an airport taxi and headed to the meeting point.

After getting in the car, Fang Ning continued the topic.

"But senior, can't you see that Jiang Moyu had some thoughts about you before?"

Shen Qingrang was not surprised.

"Sister, you know what our major is about, right?

Can I tell what she is thinking?

But you also said it was before.

And she liked me for a while just because I looked like her ex-boyfriend."

This actually made Fang Ning a little surprised.

"Do you know Huo Cheng?"

Shen Qingrang shook his head.

"That girl is shallow-minded and has all her thoughts clearly on her face. How could I not see it?

And if you don’t look at the boyfriends she posted on WeChat Moments later, they could all create a joint series together.

It's not me she likes."

After saying that, Shen Qingrang shook his head again.

“Everyone says, don’t take everything seriously and be confused.

But how can we be confused about emotional matters?"

Fang Ning just smiled and stopped talking.

The taxi drove for less than an hour, and the door of the previously agreed meeting hotel was already within easy reach.

A very conspicuous banner was hung at the door, with the title of this charity event written on it and a welcome to experts and volunteer teachers.

As soon as the car stopped, someone came to ask if they were members of the expert team who had come to gather.

Fang Ning got out of the car first and nodded to the little girl opposite.

"What's your name? Let me check the list."

"Fang Ning."

She pointed at Shen Qingrang who was picking up luggage in the trunk.

"Shen Qingrang."

The little girl immediately found the names of two people in the first few rows of the first page.

"Hello, I am the receptionist and one of the supporting teachers.

My name is Zhao Zhiyan, you can call me Xiao Zhao or Xiao Yan."

Fang Ning smiled at her.

"Not so polite."

Zhao Zhiyan showed two rows of small white teeth. This smile reminded Fang Ning of Zhao Yue, and she couldn't help but feel a little better.

"That's right, the large team of volunteer teachers arrived here at about 4:30 in the afternoon.

The rest of the expert team will also be assembled within this time period.

Once everyone has arrived, we will board the bus and set off, which will take place around five o'clock.

We have prepared a temporary resting place in the hotel's business conference room. You two can go there and wait.

If you don’t have time to eat at noon, the hotel restaurant has a buffet.”

Shen Qingrang carried their luggage and turned to the front of the car. Only then did Zhao Zhiyan see his face clearly and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Fang Ning declined the buffet coupon and thanked her before entering the door side by side with Shen Qingrang.

After walking out a little further, Shen Qingrang finally spoke.

"Look, my face should actually be quite popular with girls."

Fang Ning smiled.

"Yes, you are a grasshopper.

The contestant who stands out among the many blond European and American physiques.”

Shen Qing let his brows relax.

"That's not the case."

After taking two steps, he suddenly turned back and added.

"At least I think I'm better looking than that Lu Lingyou."

Fang Ning smiled and his shoulders shook twice.

"Yes, yes, you look good."

The two of them were the first to arrive among the expert team. After entering the temporarily arranged lounge, people began to arrive one after another.

Fang Ning really admired Shen Qingrang's communication skills. Even though they had just introduced each other, they could talk freely, as if they had known each other for 180 years.

After a while, many people came to the conference room. Suitcases were piled all over the floor. Occasionally, staff came in to take photos and videos. They said that the entire event would be recorded and later made into a documentary on the online platform. broadcast.

Fang Ning found an inconspicuous corner, sat on the sofa and looked at it for a while, bored, and suddenly thought about whether to send Lu Lingyou a WeChat message.

After thinking about it, they hadn't officially arrived at their destination yet, they were just making some adjustments at the gathering place.

Let's wait until we get to the dormitory where we'll be staying.

During the phone call yesterday, Lu Lingyou asked her to change the emergency contact number on her mobile phone to his. Now, as long as she long presses the number 1 on the keyboard, the number will be dialed automatically.

Unlocking the phone screen and turning to the emergency contact settings page, Fang Ning couldn't help but curl up his lips when he saw the familiar row of numbers.
