Gentle and radiant history graduate student vs. Cool, charming, and de...
Jiang Yiyu nodded: "I will try my best."
Song Shengsheng was thinking at that time that one day Jiang Yiyu would become more dazzling than all the male protagonists in the TV dramas she had watched.
There was no reason for this belief, it was just an inexplicable conviction, just like on the summer basketball court in the first year of junior high school, amid the noisy crowd, even though there was an iron fence between them, even though she didn't know Jiang Yiyu yet, she still saw him in the crowd at a glance and remembered him.
Why do I like him? Maybe it’s because one day when it was snowing heavily, he said nothing but just walked in front of her to clear the snow for her.
Maybe the hot pack he gave himself that day was very warm.
Or perhaps many years later, Song Shengsheng happened to watch his interview and heard him tell the story of Pluto and Charon that she had told him in front of the camera. The reporter asked, has he found his Charon?
Jiang Yiyu smiled and said, "I must first work hard to become a shining star so that she can see me."
"Who is she?" the reporter asked. "Is she the girl you said before, the one you would marry anytime if she wanted to?"
Jiang Yiyu smiled but said nothing.
Having known him for so many years, Song Shengsheng never knew that there was a girl in his heart who liked to look at the stars just like her, but that person... didn't seem to be her.
Because Jiang Yiyu had never shown her any affection beyond that of a friend's sister.
…
The hot pot was boiling completely. Su Bei had put too much in the pot, and the soup overflowed as soon as the pot opened. The soup splashed onto Song Shengsheng's hand, scalding her so much that she subconsciously shrank back. Su Bei quickly turned down the heat and handed her a tissue: "Damn, your little electric cooker is pretty good! It boils pretty quickly."
She used a slotted spoon to scoop out a stuffed beef ball and put it into Song Shengsheng's bowl. "Stop letting your imagination run wild and eat quickly. No matter why you like Jiang Yiyu, food is the most important thing for people. You still have to eat. Only when you are full will you have the energy to chase stars or have a crush on someone."
Song Shengsheng smiled at her, poked the chopsticks into the meatball, and just after taking a bite, she frowned because it was too hot.
Su Bei laughed at her: "Why are you in such a hurry? How can meatballs not be hot when they are just out of the pot? You can't eat hot meatballs in a hurry. You have to take your time."
After dinner, Song Shengsheng brought a thick blanket from the bedroom. Su Bei turned off the lights in the living room, took her arm, and snuggled up on the sofa with her, covered with the blanket, to watch a horror movie.
Song Shengsheng has never believed in ghosts and gods, so horror movies are not as scary to her as some criminal detective films, but Su Bei is a typical weakling who is addicted to fantasy. Even though he is obviously scared to death, he is still curious about the next plot.
Just as the story was reaching its climax and the ghost was about to appear, Song Shengsheng's cell phone suddenly rang. Su Bei was frightened and screamed: "Damn! Song Shengsheng, do you know that scaring others can kill them?"
"Excuse me, there's a message. Let me take a look."
Su Bei tightened his grip around her arm again. Song Shengsheng dimmed the screen of her phone and opened WeChat. It was a message from Jiang Yiyu saying that he had returned to the hotel and did not drink today. He asked her when she was free and if they could video chat again before going to bed.
Song Shengsheng: I’m watching a movie with my friends. I don’t know when it will end. Why don’t you go to bed first?
After the message was sent, the top of her and Jiang Yiyu's chat box kept showing that the other party was typing...
But after typing for a long time, I didn't see his reply. Two or three minutes later, Jiang Yiyu's reply message came together with Su Bei's scream.
Jiang Yiyu: Have you told your friends about us?
Song Shengsheng was stunned for a moment. She turned her head to look at Su Bei who was lying on her shoulder, and replied to Jiang Yiyu: Can I tell her?
Jiang Yiyu: Of course.
Song Shengsheng turned off his phone and patted Su Bei's arm hesitantly: "Um...Su Bei, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Su Bei's voice trembled as the female ghost in the movie hadn't left the stage yet. "Hurry up and tell me."
"It's just... I'm actually married to Jiang Yiyu..."
"Ah?" Su Bei's voice suddenly rose a few notches: "Shengsheng, are you crazy? Why don't we go to the hospital tomorrow to check it out? This secret love is too much, and excessive fantasy is also a disease. Early detection and early treatment."
Su Bei obviously didn't take her words seriously.
Song Shengsheng got up and walked towards the bedroom.
"Where are you going?" Su Bei asked.
"Go get you a marriage certificate."
"Ah? You still have that thing? Song Shengsheng, making a fake certificate is illegal!"
Song Shengsheng took out her and Jiang Yiyu's marriage certificate from the drawer of the bedside table and walked back to the living room. She turned on the floor lamp next to the sofa and handed the marriage certificate to Su Bei: "I didn't make a fake certificate."
Su Bei opened the marriage certificate, looked at the photo of Song Shengsheng and Jiang Yiyu, and rubbed the seal vigorously. She looked up at Song Shengsheng again: "Song Shengsheng, are you serious with me? Then what was that car downstairs just now..."
"It's Jiang Yiyu's. I still have his clothes in my cloakroom. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see them."
"Then why did you just say the car belonged to Song Ming?"
"I don't know how to tell you, and I don't know if Jiang Yiyu wants others to know."
"Damn it!" Su Bei cursed, "Sister, your secret love has come true. Is that girl Jiang Yiyu mentioned before that he has always had a crush on you?"
Song Shengsheng shook her head. "I don't know. We've known each other for twelve years, and I've never seen him like me more than just a sister. But I also didn't know he had someone like that in his heart."
"What is all this? Does he like you now?"
