Shen Jing had no time to stay in Shanghai; her senior sister had been urging her, as there were several out-of-town tourists who had been waiting for days to see her perform. They had come to Su City specifically to hear her storytelling through music, so she had to go back.
「Evening.」
Liang Yingning came to pick her up from work.
They bought milk tea by the roadside.
After paying, Liang Yingning stuffed a cup into Shen Jing's arms.
"Move into his house, and let his bodyguards drive you to and from work every day. That way, it'll be easier to take care of your grandma, and you won't have to worry about your stepfather coming to your door every day to intimidate you for money."
"I don't want to move in," Shen Jing said as she slipped a straw into her cup and took a sip.
Liang Yingning looked Shen Jing up and down. "So principled. Can't you be practical?"
Shen Jing said slowly, "I haven't thought it through."
