"Sold?" Lin Xinxin's terrified scream came from the other end of the phone.

"Calm down." Cheng Fengshu wasn't frightened and remained calm as usual. "You called just to ask me about this?”Was she full?

" Of course not, I do have a question for you, but…" Lin Xinhao had yet to recover from her shock.”Did you really sell the glass slippers? Are you really selling it?" She really couldn't believe it!

"If I sell it, then I sell it. Thirty thousand yuan is enough for me to eat for two to three months.”

Thinking of this, Cheng Fengshu smiled. He felt that the glass shoes were not that useless. At least they sold for a good price.

"Thirty thousand?" Lin Xinxin couldn't help but shake her head." You actually sold out your lifelong happiness for a mere 30,000 yuan. I'm really…defeated by you.”Unable to find an appropriate adjective, Lin Xinxin could only conclude with this sentence in frustration.

"What happiness? A pair of shoes that can't be worn can bring happiness? Then I can only say that this pair of shoes is as magical as God.”Cheng Fengshu didn't think much of it as usual.

"Miss, you're really stubborn!”Lin Xinhao was really defeated by her." People say that it's better to believe it than not to believe it. Why do you always refuse to listen? I really don't know what you're thinking by selling something that others dream of so casually.”

"Nothing." Cheng Fengshu answered smoothly.

It's okay if you didn't think about it, but you don't have to deliberately avoid what might happen! The master said that you would meet your other half through the glass shoes, but you just had to sell the shoes. I'm really…Ouch! I'm so angry. And, I'll say it again: those are glass shoes made just for you. There's only one pair of them in the world. They're special! And…it can be worn!"

She really felt bad for those shoes. They actually met such an owner!

"What are you angry about?" Cheng Fengshu really didn't understand. From the beginning to the end, it had nothing to do with her, yet she could still speak so indignantly and passionately. If this really happened to her, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't have a heart attack from overexcitement.

"Also, it doesn't matter if those shoes can be worn or not. It has nothing to do with you, right?”Instead of listening to her ramble on about fate, lifelong happiness, and a prophet, she would rather figure out her purpose and hang up.

" I..." Lin Xinhao was so choked by her that she couldn't say a word.

She was such a person. There was nothing more to say! Lin Xinhao reminded herself again and again not to argue with her about her perception with a low EQ.

"I won't ask anymore!" Her psychological construction had failed, and Lin Xinxin was so angry that she didn't even want to do anything proper.

"Goodbye then." Cheng Fengshu didn't ask any more questions. He casually said goodbye to her and hung up the phone.

"Cheng Fengshu!" Lin Xinhao, who had been hung up, widened her eyes and screamed, but Cheng Fengshu couldn't hear her at all.

She was so angry! This woman was getting more and more annoying! Humph! Lin Xinhao slammed the phone on the floor and felt that she was asking for it.

Most importantly, her original question was still unanswered. Sigh, it was normal for him to be mad when he met a cold-blooded woman like Cheng Fengshu.

When Cheng Fengshu had a good night's sleep and had just finished his 'breakfast', even if the phone suddenly rang, her tone would be better than usual.

However, when she heard the man's voice on the other end of the phone, she replied without thinking,"You dialed the wrong number."

She didn't think that a man would call her at home.

" Wait, Miss Cheng Fengshu." Liang Shiyin called out her name in time to avoid the fate of being hung up.

He hadn't even said a word, and she was already sure that he had dialed the wrong number after just a simple "hello"?

After figuring out the reason, Liang Shiyin felt relaxed.

"My surname is Liang." He reported his name first, but Cheng Fengshu still seemed unmoved.

"I don't know a man with the surname Liang." After saying that, she wanted to hang up again.

"Wait." Liang Shiyin said weakly. He could understand why his sister had such a terrified expression at that time.”Then you should know Miss Liang from Yunrong Lane, right?”

"What does that have to do with you?" Cheng Fengshu poured himself a glass of water and forced himself to be patient.

"I'm her brother."

"Are you here for money?"

How did she come up with such an answer?

"No, I didn't mean that. We want to ask you for another favor."

"Again and again?" She raised her eyebrows. "I remember telling Miss Liang last time that no matter if you want to buy shoes or not, don't call me again!”

"So, she didn't call, I did.”Liang Shiyin tried to be humorous.

"In short, the two of you can conspire.”Cheng Fengshu really didn't want to react to this little trick, but the siblings knew that this kind of trick wouldn't work on her.

"It can't be that serious! Originally, we only wanted the glass shoes, but now the situation has changed, so we have to trouble you again.”

"I have no obligation to trouble you." She concluded. "Goodbye."

She did not forget to say goodbye and hung up the phone.

He had only sold a pair of shoes. Did they expect after-sales service?

Hey! He was thinking too much!

He wasn't surprised that she would hang up on him, so after waiting for three minutes, Liang Shiyin pressed the redial button.

After the call connected, he made the first move. "Miss Cheng, it's me again. Please listen to me first, okay?”

"Not good." Cheng Fengshu's voice was even colder than before.”Mr. Livingstone, does your family only know how to use harassment calls to achieve their goals?”

"No." He smiled. "It's just that when we don't even have the chance to express our thoughts, our family will appear rude and impetuous.”

Are you blaming me for not giving you a chance?”From Cheng Fengshu's tone, there was not much emotional fluctuation.

"You didn't give us a chance, but we don't have the right to blame you.”His words were quite to the point and clearly pointed out the truth.

" Then it's settled. I don't have to cooperate with you.”

"Wait a moment." Liang Shiyin stopped her from hanging up. "Don't you want to know why we still came to you even though we have the glass shoes?”

"No." She answered without thinking.

"But I want to tell you."

Liang Shiyin had already started to shamelessly refuse because other than doing this, he couldn't think of any other way to contend with her indifference.

The silence on the other end of the phone was very short, lasting at most four seconds. Then, her cold voice sounded again,"Talk to the phone yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang again.

Liang Shiyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he hung up the phone. He understood that the phone was definitely not a good communication tool.

Then, what should he do?

As usual, Cheng Fengshu had just finished his first meal and turned on his computer. Just as he was about to surf the internet, the doorbell rang, which surprised her.

She couldn't be blamed for this. In the five years she had lived here, the number of times the doorbell had unexpectedly rung could be counted with her fingers. In fact, the expected number of times it had rung had never exceeded twenty.

She tilted her head and pondered. She really could not think of who would ring the bell.

Just as she was thinking, another two minutes passed before the doorbell rang again, indicating that the person outside the door was still waiting for her to open the door.

With a doubtful attitude, she opened the door. When she saw the face of the person outside the door, she fell into deep thought again.

It looked familiar. Where had he seen it before?

In her simple life, she had not seen many faces. Soon, she remembered that he was the man who had spilled coffee all over her.

"Are you so insistent on buying a set of Yunrong House's clothes for me?”

He crossed his arms and looked at the person outside the door. Cheng Fengshu certainly did not believe that the other party would be so persistent over such a small matter and even chase after him.

She had only been in contact with one man recently, and the place where she bumped into him twice happened to be in Yunrong Lane…

She opened the door but did not intend to invite him in. She just stood at the door.

"Are you Mr. Livingstone who called yesterday?”This was the only male name that had appeared in her life recently.

"So you are Miss Cheng Fengshu. What a coincidence.”Liang Shiyin's expression could be described as " surprised." Hello, I'm Liang Shiyin."

"I don't think you need to be so happy.”Cheng Fengshu threw a bucket of cold water on him. "I don't think we have anything to talk about.”

"New and old grudges?" He was slightly stunned. "Do we have any grudges?"

"Yes." Cheng Fengshu answered without hesitation.

"Your sister and another young lady disturbed my good sleep and disrupted my life. You splashed iced coffee all over me and made me wet all over as I returned home from Taibei.”

This man did not seem to have a good memory, but she did not forget.

"If I apologize again now, will you feel better?”Liang Shiyin was still smiling as if he had no nerves, completely oblivious to the coldness of the others.

"I won't."

Although he said that, Cheng Fengshu felt a little overwhelmed when he saw his gentle eyes and smile. Ever since they bumped into each other by accident, she felt that this man's smile would never disappear. No matter how cold her attitude was, he was completely unaware.

What was wrong with this man? Even if he had no temper, he wouldn't look like this, right?

"I really hope you can forgive me, because I have been given a great responsibility and need your help.”

"I'm useless and can't help at all.”She hated trouble.

"You can do it." Liang Shiyin looked sincere. "My sister is planning a summer fashion show. I hope you can agree to participate and perform.”

Cheng Fengshu rolled his eyes. "Are you kidding me?"

Fashion show? He wanted her to participate? This man could actually ask her for such a thing without changing his expression. Was his eyes damaged or did he take the wrong information?

She, Cheng Fengshu, was not good at anything other than living abroad and having good English skills that could earn her living expenses by translating manuscripts, let alone walking the runway!

"No." Liang Shiyin's expression was very serious. He revealed a comforting smile and began to explain this suggestion that was very strange in her eyes."Of course, we know that you are not an official model and have no relevant experience in the past, but we really hope that you can participate in this event.”

"What's the reason?" Cheng Fengshu didn't think he had the ability to walk on the runway. Just by looking at her height, one could tell this fact.

"Because of the glass slippers."

"I didn't sell it to you guys." Cheng Fengshu glared at him, feeling as if he was being eaten up by them step by step. First, he wanted the shoes, now he wanted them, and then what?

"We have shoes, but no one can wear them.”Liang Shiyin thought that she should know how small she size. "That's why we need you to participate. Otherwise, the glass shoes are useless.”

"I believe that I'm not the only woman in Taiwan who wears size twenty-two shoes!”She would not be convinced by him so easily.

"It's not just you, but there aren't many. Moreover, glass is not malleable, and that pair of shoes was specially made according to your foot shape and size.”He believed that anyone with a little knowledge could understand his theory.

Cheng Fengshu could understand what he was saying, but she had no intention of accepting it.

"That's enough. Don't be too demanding.”She replied indifferently. "Also, sometimes it's not necessarily easier to do things in front of you.”

Didn't they already know that she was difficult to communicate with? Or was this man in front of her cannon fodder who was framed by her own sister?

"You don't want to? Can you give me a reason?" When " negotiating " with others, if one wanted to convince the other party, one had to brainwash the other party's thoughts.

As for her, he had already done some research.

"Do you need a reason?" Cheng Fengshu looked at him.

"Aren't you curious about something you haven't tried before?”He tried his best to raise questions to get her to respond, and at the same time, to test her thinking patterns and habits.

"Curious about what?" She looked at him with a smile.

"Won't you be dissatisfied with your current life and want to try other domain spaces?”His smile was still on his face, as if it was his only expression.

"Uncomfortable? I'm afraid it'll be very difficult." She loved her current lifestyle!

"Can you please consider helping us?”Although he didn't have much hope in his heart.

"Why should I help you?" Cheng Fengshu asked coldly, waiting for him to be like those people in the past, to remove that hypocritical smile and start to criticize her wantonly. Then, he would leave angrily and never talk to her again.

But he didn't. He was quite calm, and the smile on his face was even brighter.

"Do you always reject people like this?”No wonder Xinyan didn't want to look for her anymore.

He knew his sister's temper and personality very well. Looking at a girl with such looks and always rejecting him coldly, she would definitely go crazy.

"Most of them." Cheng Fengshu had never thought about it carefully. He didn't know when she had become like this.

The past her…was too far away. It was better not to torture her brain. Anyway, the current Cheng Fengshu was just so annoying.

Why? It didn't matter anymore. She didn't care anymore. Anyway, she was like this now. What was there to think about?

"Are there any exceptions?"

Liang Shiyin didn't give up and continued to smile sincerely. The more he asked, the more energetic he became. He wasn't hurt by her cold words at all.

"I'll try my best…to make sure it doesn't." This was not a joke, but an answer that she had given serious thought to.

Liang Shiyin smiled until his white teeth were revealed. She was really cute.

He stood at her door and watched her frown and think. He had the urge to hug her. She was so petite, so cold, and so distant, but she attracted him. From the first time he saw her, he could not let go or forget her.

It was ridiculous and unexpected that he had fallen in love with her.

"Are you alright?" Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time and only smiled at him, Cheng Fengshu pursed his lips and turned around to enter the house.

"Wait a little longer." He pressed the door. "Are you really not going to consider it?"

"There's no need to think about it. I don't want to participate.”She was neither curious about the work in that field nor did she feel that her current life was boring. What was there to consider?

"Do you have a regular job?" he suddenly asked.

"No, I haven't." She worked as an assistant for a year after graduation. She felt that her nine-to-five job was suffocating, so she quit her job and wandered around until now.

"Then, are you doing well financially recently?”Step by step, he made good use of the information he had already investigated.

"I have 30,000 yuan for shoes!" Thinking that she could survive for a while by selling a pair of useless shoes, she felt happy.

"And after that?" Liang Shiyin looked at her seriously. "How long can you live with 30,000 yuan? Do you have any other sources of income?"

He didn't believe that she would be able to win a big prize every two or three months and sell it off.

Cheng Fengshu really wanted to answer him with a " yes "…she had a very unstable translation fee.

There were also short-term investments that made people want to vomit blood…stocks that were currently in a terrible state.

She had been on a tight diet because of the lack of manuscripts recently. Originally, she still had short-term profits from real-time manipulation to supplement her living expenses. However, she did not expect the Taiwan stock market to fall again in the past few days. The retribution of sleeping was that she slept past the trading time. It was too late to sell when she realized it. Now, she could only wait for it to rise again.

She really believed that it would rise back up, but she didn't know if she could hold on until then.

However, she was unwilling to admit that she had made a mistake. It was fine if it was because she had made a wrong judgment, but this time, it was because she had overslept!

Overslept!

"Miss Cheng?" Was this question so difficult for her to ask? With her personality, she should have coldly replied to him with,"None of your business", right?

"None of your business!"

Sure enough, Cheng Fengshu answered as he wished. What did her financial situation have to do with him? Would he send her food when she had no food to eat?

"I just hope to find a way to cooperate that is good for both of us.”Liang Shiyin was neither servile nor overbearing. He wasn't arrogant or begging for mercy at all. He was just stating a fact, which made Cheng Fengshu uncharacteristically not slam the door. He only looked at him with his eyes, waiting for him to continue.

In fact, she really wanted to know what he had to do to save her quality of life.

"We really hope that you can agree to participate in this grand event. You don't have to worry about the training work. We'll take care of it. You just have to arrange a time with us, prepare some work in advance, and then go on stage on time that day.”

He felt that she did not like to be controlled by time, which was why she lived such a semi-banished lifestyle. Therefore, he naturally did not ask her to be at his beck and call.

"We can fully cooperate with you during the preparation work, except for the day when you officially go on stage. This request shouldn't be too much.”

Cheng Fengshu almost nodded in agreement. This was not too much, but was it necessary? Did they really need him so much that they were willing to offer him such generous conditions?

"As for the remuneration, I believe that as long as you are willing, this can be discussed.”Liang Shiyin revealed his usual gentle smile. "We sincerely hope that you can agree to this. Can you please consider this proposal as it will help your current life?”

Cheng Fengshu's heart struggled for a moment before he nodded.

"I can agree, but are you sure that I can arrange the time?”No matter what, she would not give up on the principle of " sleeping until she wakes up naturally."

She could even cause her stocks to be tied up and her life to be in trouble for the sake of sleeping. How could she give up sleep for the sake of living?

"When do you think is a suitable time? This is negotiable.”No matter how different her lifestyle was from ordinary people, there was still a pattern to it. He guessed that she would only wake up after noon. Otherwise, why would she choose to go to Yunrong Square in the evening that day?

Cheng Fengshu looked at his confidence and suddenly felt as if she had become transparent in front of him. She rarely had this feeling when she talked to others, as if he knew her quite well and the conditions he proposed were very suitable for her needs.

Why?

Liang Shiyin chuckled when he met her scrutinizing gaze.

"You don't believe me?" he teased.

"I don't believe you." It wasn't her usual nonchalance and indifference, but a deliberate act of opposing. Only she herself understood this subtle mentality.

Perhaps Liang Shiyin also understood her, because when he heard this, he laughed even more heartily.

It was because of her abnormality, her uneasiness, and her deliberate actions. To let him know that he was not as good as the people she had rejected or stabbed in the past.

This made him extremely happy.

"What's so funny!" Cheng Fengshu was slightly angry.

"No, I'm very happy because you agreed.”These words were true. He was really happy. After all, if she didn't agree, how could he get close to her in the future?

After convincing her, he actually heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn't care if the press conference was open. He was only worried that he would cut off his connection with her.

"Crazy." Cheng Fengshu cursed.

"Maybe." Liang Shiyin stopped laughing, but the smile remained on his handsome face. "But I'm really happy."

Looking at his sparkling black eyes, Cheng Fengshu held back her answer and quietly looked at his smile.

Cheng Fengshu didn't speak for a long time until the person in front of her stopped smiling and looked at her with a gaze that made her feel hot and uneasy.

"I've already agreed. You can leave now.”With a glance, she started to chase him away.

This time, Liang Shiyin didn't stop her and let go of the hand on the door.

"When is it convenient for you tomorrow? Can you come to the shop? Let's talk about the details together." The way he looked at her was very gentle, so gentle that it was as if he wanted to suck her into his eyes.

Cheng Fengshu instinctively turned his head away from him. It seemed that he had kept his word and had not set a time with her.

Nodding, she decided to close the door and isolate him.

Liang Shiyin didn't move. He just looked at her profile and waited.

Waiting for her to close the door and enter the house, or waiting for her to look back.

In the end, Cheng Fengshu did not enter the house, nor did he turn around. She just stood there, as if she was considering something, hesitating about something…

"About the same time as last time."

After saying this, she reached out and closed the door.

Looking at the door blocking her figure, Liang Shiyin placed one hand on the door and suddenly laughed.

Similar to last time? Was she setting a date for tomorrow? It was a very interesting and creative way of putting it.

Such a sentence that had no rhyme or reason, which was equivalent to nothing in the ears of ordinary people, excited his heart.

He wanted to understand her more and more. Was it similar to the last time? What did this mean? Did she wake up around that time, or was she free around that time?

He thought that he had been poisoned. He could guess everything and find everything interesting. No matter what she did, he felt that she was…really cute.#
