◎ "Are you jealous?"◎

Song Siyao sent Xu Yingxi to the gate of the villa.

The light on the first floor of the villa was still on. It should be the light Xu Zhaoxue left for her.

"I'm going back now," Xu Yingxi said. "After you check in at the hotel, send me a message."

Song Siyao: "Okay."

Xu Yingxi frowned. "Why are you looking at me with such a subtle expression? You're already my boyfriend, is it weird for me to ask you to check in with me?"

Song Siyao shook his head slightly.

"It's not strange," he said. "It's just... a little strange."

Xu Yingxi: "What's wrong with you?"

Song Siyao: "I'm not used to the feeling of being cared for by others."

Xu Yingxi felt a little uncomfortable with what he said: "What do you mean by concern? This is your obligation as my boyfriend. You should always let me know your movements."

Song Siyao humbly asked, "What does time mean?"

Xu Yingxi was stunned for a moment and glared at him, "Master Song, have you written too many papers? You even have to pick on words like this?"

Song Siyao: "Sorry, this is my first time being someone's boyfriend. I don't have enough experience and no literature to refer to."

Xu Yingxi: “…”

It must be said that she was pleased by this sentence.

Everyone wants to be special in the eyes of their lover, and she is no exception.

"Alright." Xu Yingxi raised her chin. "Your situation is understandable. As for your question..."

She thought for a moment and replied, "Just tell me whatever you think is necessary for me to know. If I'm not satisfied, I'll tell you again."

Song Siyao: "Okay."

Xu Yingxi glanced at the time and said, "I really have to go back."

After she finished speaking, she looked at him, and even she herself didn't know what she was expecting.

It's like a teacher gives a question that he doesn't know the answer to, but hopes that someone can give a solution.

Fortunately, Song Siyao has always been the best student.

Feeling the man approaching, Xu Yingxi subconsciously closed her eyes.

A kiss fell on her eyelids.

Xu Yingxi's eyelashes trembled and she opened her eyes to look at him.

Song Siyao: "Good night."

Xu Yingxi: "...Good night."

…

Xu Yingxi tiptoed back to the villa and looked around guiltily.

After confirming that no one was around, she breathed a sigh of relief and carefully unzipped her down jacket.

Logically speaking, she is already an adult who can be responsible for her own actions, and her family has never opposed her relationship, so it’s no big deal if she is discovered.

But when she thought about how she had sneaked out to meet a man while the whole family was celebrating the New Year together, Xu Yingxi still felt an inexplicable sense of shame.

After changing into slippers, Xu Yingxi slipped back into the kitchen and put the remaining half box of brown sugar rice cakes into the refrigerator.

Then she tiptoed to the stairs, turned off the lights on the first floor, and carefully returned to her bedroom.

Only after closing the bedroom door did Xu Yingxi finally feel relieved.

She bit her lip as she thought about what she had done all evening.

Why do I feel like Song Siyao and I are having an affair?

Xu Yingxi quickly shook her head and threw away this ridiculous idea.

She took off her thick clothes and changed into thin pajamas. Her cell phone, which she had casually thrown on the bed, vibrated.

It was already past one in the morning, and the message list, which had been bustling with New Year's greetings from all sides, had been quiet for a while.

Xu Yingxi naturally thought that it was a message from Song Siyao. She thought that it had only been ten minutes since they separated. Could he have arrived at the hotel so quickly?

When I picked up the phone, I found that it was a private message from Chai Mengtian.

Chai Mengtian: [Xixi, have you and Qi Wangzhou reconciled? ]

Xu Yingxi frowned, and her first reaction was to curse inwardly what bad luck she had.

She knew that Chai Mengtian would not ask her this for no reason, and it was probably Qi Wangzhou who was making trouble again.

Xu Yingxi: [Of course not, why do you ask?]

Chai Mengtian: [I knew it! It must be that Qi Wangzhou who's messing around unilaterally!]

Chai Mengtian: [You shouldn't have deleted Qi Wangzhou as a friend on WeChat, right?]

Xu Yingxi: [No, we're from the same lab after all, deleting it would be troublesome.]

Chai Mengtian: [Then just go to his Moments and check out the latest one!]

Xu Yingxi frowned and exited the chat interface with Chai Mengtian.

When they broke up, she set permissions so that she couldn't see Qi Wangzhou's circle of friends.

Xu Yingxi went to the address book to find Qi Wangzhou's name, temporarily opened the permissions, and clicked on his circle of friends.

When the two were dating, the cover of Qi Wangzhou's Moments was a photo of him and Xu Yingxi. For this, many people praised Qi Wangzhou as a good man who put his girlfriend's photo on the cover to give her a sense of security.

After the breakup, Qi Wangzhou changed the cover to a photo of himself wearing sunglasses and standing next to a car.

Xu Yingxi scrolled down and found that Qi Wangzhou's latest update was posted after midnight.

At first glance, the copy doesn't seem special: [Thank you to everyone who loves me and everyone I love. Happy New Year.]

Xu Yingxi clicked on the accompanying picture, which was a photo of a bar with two glasses of red wine and a bracelet on it.

That bracelet was the one Qi Wangzhou had made for her when he was pursuing her, and it was also the token of their love.

Qi Wangzhou put a lot of thought into this bracelet, and it is indeed very beautiful. After receiving it, Xu Yingxi would wear it to class from time to time.

Several of Xu Yingxi's roommates, as well as her close classmates and friends, all knew that she had such a bracelet, and that it was a gift from her boyfriend.

Later, the two broke up, and Xu Yingxi returned the bracelet to Qi Wangzhou in person.

Yet, after such a long time, on New Year's Day, Qi Wangzhou suddenly let this bracelet appear in his circle of friends, taking up a large space in the photo, and it could be seen without clicking on the full picture.

It also comes with an ambiguous copy.

No wonder Chai Mengtian asked her if she had reunited with Qi Wangzhou.

Anyone who recognized that this bracelet was given to her by Qi Wangzhou would probably have only two interpretations: one is that Qi Wangzhou missed her as his ex-girlfriend, and the other is that she and Qi Wangzhou were back together.

Several new messages popped up on the phone one after another, all from Chai Mengtian.

Chai Mengtian: [How's it going, Xixi? Did you see it?]

Chai Mengtian: [This Qi Wangzhou is really annoying. He's doing this on New Year's Day. He should find a brazier to cross!]

Chai Mengtian: [If someone hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have wanted to tell you about this because I was afraid the rumor would spread and you wouldn't know about it.]

Chai Mengtian: [What are you going to do, Xixi? How about posting a message on your Moments to hint that you’re single now?]

Chai Mengtian: [Otherwise, if a boy who likes you sees you and thinks you've gotten back together with someone, wouldn't that block your chances of romance?]

Chai Mengtian: [Or I can just go to Qi Wangzhou's friend circle and scold him for you! We have so many friends in common, everyone will know it's Qi Wangzhou who's having a seizure once they see it!]

Chai Mengtian was anxious to give advice to Xu Yingxi, and seemed to be more anxious than Xu Yingxi herself.

Seeing so many messages sent by Chai Mengtian, Xu Yingxi couldn't help laughing, and the annoyance she had just felt from Qi Wangzhou disappeared.

Xu Yingxi: [It's okay, I'm not angry with him, it's not worth it.]

Xu Yingxi: [The peach blossoms were not blocked.]

This time, the words "typing" appeared above the chat box for a long time. After a long time, Chai Mengtian's message was finally sent.

Chai Mengtian: [Ah?! Is that what I meant, Xixi? Could it be that you're no longer single?]

Xu Yingxi: [Yes.]

Chai Mengtian: [? ]

Chai Mengtian: [???]

Chai Mengtian: [Who is it?! Who on earth is so lucky to be the fourth male guest??]

Chai Mengtian: [Isn’t that Song Xueshen?]

Xu Yingxi: [It’s him.]

Chai Mengtian: [!!!]

Chai Mengtian: [When did this happen?! Xixi, you didn't even tell me that I'm your best friend at S University!?!]

Chai Mengtian: [rolling.jpg]

Xu Yingxi glanced at the time and replied: [About an hour ago?]

Chai Mengtian: [! ]

Chai Mengtian: [So you two are celebrating the New Year together now?]

Chai Mengtian: [That's not right, Xixi, didn't you say you and your family went to a resort for the New Year? Has Song Xueshen already met your parents?]

Chai Mengtian: [That's still not right. Didn't you just get together? How could you possibly meet their parents?]

Looking at these series of questions, Xu Yingxi found it a little funny, and a secret sweetness rose in her heart.

Xu Yingxi: [It's a bit complicated to explain, but in short, he came to me at midnight, confessed his feelings to me, and I agreed.]

Chai Mengtian: [Shocked.jpg]

Chai Mengtian: [Oh my god, is Song Xueshen actually so romantic?!]

Chai Mengtian: [I thought someone like him, a high-class beauty, would be very subtle in his pursuit of women. But he actually came to you in the middle of the night to confess his love?!]

Chai Mengtian: [Ahhhhh, let's meet after school starts. You must tell me more details!]

Chai Mengtian: [By the way, Xixi, you're not planning on keeping this a secret, are you? I'm going to tell Xueyi and Sister Lei about you and Song Xueshen together!]

Xu Yingxi: [Okay, go ahead.]

She never deliberately hid every relationship from her roommates, and Xu Yingxi had to admit that it was quite prestigious to take her new boyfriend, Song Siyao, out.

Chai Mengtian didn’t reply to the message again. I wonder if she went to inform the other two roommates.

It seems that after learning the explosive news that Xu Yingxi and Song Siyao are together, Chai Mengtian has completely forgotten about Qi Wangzhou's little tricks.

It was Song Siyao who finally sent a message.

Song Siyao: [Already checked in.]

Song Siyao: [[Picture]]

Song Siyao: [The room is very nice. I will thank your sister in person when I have the chance.]

Seeing the message, Xu Yingxi curled the corners of her lips.

It seems that he remembered her reporting requirements and completed them seriously, even adding pictures.

Moreover, this man thought quite far ahead and even thought about meeting her sister.

Xu Yingxi: [Let me tell you in advance, I haven't brought any men to meet my sister yet, except Xu Xingluo.]

Song Siyao: [Then I will work harder.]

Xu Yingxi: [Okay.]

After this message, Song Siyao didn't send any more messages.

Xu Yingxi held the phone and waited for half a minute, humming in her heart.

Are you just going to ignore her?

He didn't even send her a goodnight message or ask her when she was going to sleep.

It turns out that this is a man who is in love for the first time. How come he doesn’t understand such a simple thing?

Xu Yingxi complained in her heart and didn't want to send him a message immediately, so she simply went out to check her Moments.

Many friends posted New Year updates around midnight. Xu Yingxi liked a few of them and suddenly thought of something.

Song Siyao... doesn't seem to like posting on WeChat Moments?

In Xu Yingxi's impression, she almost never saw this person's updates, and the few times she saw them were all reposts related to academics, probably tasks assigned by Professor Zhang.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingxi returned to the chat interface, found Song Siyao's avatar and clicked on it.

The background is the default picture, scroll down again——

Xu Yingxi's eyes widened slightly. When did he post a new circle of friends? Why didn't she see it just now?

I clicked on the time and saw that it was posted two minutes ago.

There was no text, only a photo of the fireworks they had just watched together on the observation deck in the square.

Xu Yingxi felt that the weather was too cold and her hands would get frozen while taking photos, but she also wanted to record the photos, so she asked Song Siyao to take a few photos with his mobile phone and send them to her.

The photo Song Siyao used to post on his Moments was the one she said he took the best.

Xu Yingxi flipped through the pages again and found that it was exactly as she remembered. Except for this one, all the posts Song Siyao had posted on WeChat Moments were forwarded academic journal information.

This photo of fireworks looks particularly out of place in the academic atmosphere of his circle of friends.

And their mutual friend in the lab seemed to think so too.

Even though it was already past one in the middle of the night, Song Siyao's post still received many likes and comments from night owls.

[Wow, God of Learning, why did you suddenly think of posting on WeChat Moments? ]

[It was you, Brother Song, who sent this. I thought I was seeing things! Happy New Year!]

【Happy New Year, the fireworks are beautiful! 】

[The fireworks are so beautiful, where are they? ]

Xu Yingxi pursed her lips.

Song Siyao didn't continue chatting with her just now, but instead posted this message on WeChat Moments?

If it were someone else, she might not think too much about it, but before today, Song Siyao had never posted anything other than academic information on his Moments.

I always feel like...something is wrong.

Xu Yingxi opened the chat box with Song Siyao and asked him: [Why did you suddenly post on WeChat Moments? ]

Song Siyao replied immediately: [You said it looked great, so I posted it.]

Xu Yingxi frowned.

Something is wrong. Something is still wrong.

If this is really the reason, why didn't he post it immediately after filming?

A possibility emerged in Xu Yingxi's mind.

Xu Yingxi: [Song Siyao, are you jealous? ]

Song Siyao: [No.]

Xu Yingxi: “…”

After thinking for a few seconds, Xu Yingxi suddenly laughed out loud.

She didn't expect that Song Siyao would actually be stimulated by the circle of friends posted by Qi Wangzhou, and then secretly posted a circle of friends himself.

Otherwise, if she wasn't jealous, he should have felt strange. Why would he deny it so quickly?

After figuring this out, Xu Yingxi suddenly couldn't suppress the smile.

This person, who appears to be cold and indifferent on the surface, actually gets jealous so easily.

Such a childish way of dealing with it!

Xu Yingxi bit her lip to hold back her laughter and selected a photo of fireworks from the ones she had saved in her album.

Just by simply comparing the buildings in the distance, you can see that this photo and the one Song Siyao posted on WeChat Moments were taken at the same location.

Like Song Siyao, Xu Yingxi posted the photo directly on her Moments without any text.
