Episode 019

Song Lansheng had just woken up and was not very energetic. He had lunch, chatted with Song Yi for a few words, and then fell asleep again.

While Song Lansheng was asleep, Song Yi called Xu Shengwen outside and told him about postponing the marriage certificate.

"I'm sorry, Shengwen. My mother is in this condition and I really can't focus on her for the time being." Song Yi apologized to him sincerely.

Xu Shengwen stared at Song Yi for a while, then smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, let's wait a little longer."

"Anyway, you won't be snatched away by anyone." Xu Shengwen teased half-seriously.

It's not like the two of them had made jokes like this before, but today, Song Yi felt a pang in his heart when he heard it.

What followed was a feeling of guilt and helplessness.

Although Xu Shengwen is sometimes a bit patriarchal, he is really good to her.

After being kept by Fu Xijing for two years, Song Yi no longer had any desire for love.

She just wants to live a stable life.

Xu Shengwen is the most suitable person among her choices. He has a good character, is handsome, comes from an above-average family, has good working ability, and is ambitious.

If there was one shortcoming, it was probably that her parents were rather harsh towards her and didn't think much of her background.

This is easy to understand. Xu Shengwen is an only child, while she is considered a "bastard" with an unknown father in the eyes of others.

Although Xu Shengwen's parents didn't think much of her, they were still polite to her in front of others.

This way, she is already very content.

all is well.

But she happened to meet Fu Xijing again.

But Fu Xijing just didn't intend to let her go.

——

At six o'clock in the evening, Song Lansheng woke up.

Xu Shengwen arranged this evening meal in the afternoon. This was the first meal the three of them had together after Song Lansheng woke up.

Song Lansheng was very happy and praised Xu Shengwen highly.

Song Yi was washing fruit in the bathroom, feeling extremely anxious.

When she promised Fu Xijing to go to Chanshanju to see him tonight, she didn't know that Song Lansheng had been released from the ICU.

She must stay and keep Song Lansheng company tonight.

Originally, this kind of thing could be solved by just sending a text message to Fu Xijing to explain...

But she threw away the business card.

Fu Xijing did not give her any contact information in the morning.

She now has only two choices: leave Song Lansheng alone in the ward, go to Chanshanju to find Fu Xijing as agreed, or... stand Fu Xijing up.

After weighing the pros and cons for a few minutes, Song Yi chose the latter.

She couldn't possibly let Song Lansheng spend the night alone in the ward. As for Fu Xijing...she'd explain it the next time they met.

…

Song Yi and Xu Shengwen accompanied Song Lansheng to finish dinner.

While cleaning up the dishes, Song Yi glanced at the wall clock in the ward and saw that the hour hand had already pointed to eight o'clock.

If she hadn't arrived on time, Fu Xijing probably wouldn't have waited for her.

His time is so precious.

After dinner, Song Lansheng urged Xu Shengwen to go back and rest. Song Yi sent him to the elevator and returned to the ward to help Song Lansheng take a shower.

When I finished, it was already half past nine.

Song Lansheng went to bed after taking a shower. Song Yi covered her with a quilt and took a shower himself.

Song Lansheng was staying in a double room, but the bed next to him was empty, so Song Yi decided to sleep there at night.

Song Yi made the bed and lay down. He felt very tired and sleepy, but his mind was extremely clear.

Things go by one by one.

I don’t know how long it was before the phone next to my pillow suddenly started buzzing.

Song Yi was startled by the sudden noise. She sat up suddenly, picked up her cell phone and glanced at the bed next to her.

Song Lansheng was not woken up.

Song Yi lowered the volume, got up and went to the bathroom to answer the phone.

"Excuse me, which one..."

"Song Yi." The male voice on the other side interrupted her question.

The low and slow voice was like a hand suddenly grabbing her heart.

It’s Fu Xijing.

He just called her name and she knew he was angry.

Song Yi lowered her voice and explained to him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, my mother was discharged from the ICU today. I have to take care of her here tonight. Can I come to see you another day?"

No one is talking over there.

There was silence all around, and Song Yi heard his heavy breathing, which sounded dangerous.

"I'm really sorry... Next time, I'll do better next time." Song Yi said flattering words with a stiff upper lip.

"Really?" This time, the man on the other end of the phone finally responded.

There was no emotion or warmth in his voice.

Without waiting for Song Yi to respond, he ordered: "Then come down."

Song Yi was stunned.

What's coming down?

Where to go next?

Before she could react, Fu Xijing said, "Or, I'll go up to find you."

"No, no." Song Yi finally reacted, "I'll go down right away."

"Basement." Fu Xijing said, "You only have five minutes. I'll start the countdown now."
