Song Xingjin thought he might be crazy.
After rejecting Zhang Qiao's confession, he was afraid to see her again, but he couldn't control his desire to see her. The two conflicting ideas kept colliding in his mind.
Ever since he could remember, his parents had been arguing constantly. He was scared at first, but then he got used to it.
That day, my parents were arguing in the study while my sister was taking a nap.
He sat on the stairs, listening quietly to their heated argument, pinching his arms hard with his nails, forcing himself to stay calm.
Song Xingyu didn't know when she woke up and was frightened by the sound of a vase breaking in the study.
She walked to her brother and looked at him with uneasy eyes, "Brother, I'm scared."
"No."
Song Xingjin pulled his sister to sit on the stairs in front of him and covered her ears with his hands.
If you can't hear it, you won't be afraid.
The couple finally divorced when he was ten, and that same year his nominal father remarried.
Two years later, his nominal mother also remarried.
From then on, he and his sister lost their parents in a sense.
He rejected love and marriage, as these were not options in his life plan. However, Zhang Qiao was an accident in his life plan.
Zhang Qiao confessed her love to him, which was something Song Xingjin never expected. She lived freely and worked hard to improve herself. She was a very good girl, but she fell in love with the wrong person.
Song Xingjin doesn't have the ability to love and cannot give her happiness.
He saw that she had become much more haggard and had become much colder towards him.
The project was about to end, and Song Xingjin felt inexplicably uneasy. He tried his best to delay the project progress. Seeing her working hard to revise the plan, he secretly cursed himself.
Sometimes when Song Xingjin saw He Chi and Jiang Yining being a loving and happy couple, he would feel shaken for a moment.
But what followed was the scene of the parents swearing at each other.
He Chi said to him in the bar's private room, "Song Xingjin, no one will wait for you forever. Some people, once you miss them, will be a lifelong regret."
This sentence kept playing over and over in Song Xingjin's mind.
"Xingjin, are you listening to me?"
Old Lady Song tapped the ground with her cane, feeling disappointed. "I thought you were really capable of bringing me a girlfriend, but you turned out to be putting on a show."
"Don't be late tomorrow at noon. Girls don't like men who are late for blind dates."
Song Xingjin's expression remained calm as he said calmly, "No."
"You kid, do you still want to make me go to the hospital?"
Song Xingjin looked up at Old Lady Song who was sitting across from him and asked her, "Grandma, do you want me to walk the same path my parents walked?"
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Song said nothing, sighed, then got up and went back to the bedroom.
His words touched grandma's sore spot.
Song Xingjin lowered his eyes, feeling uncomfortable when he said this.
But it is meaningless to go on a blind date if you know that you will not accept the other person. It will only waste both of your time and affect your mood.
When Song Xingyu returned home, she saw her elder brother sitting on the sofa in a suit and tie, with his legs folded and a slightly gloomy expression on his face.
She walked lightly, trying to sneak up to the second floor without him noticing.
Song Xingjin looked at Song Xingyu, speechless for a while, then said, "I'm not that blind."
Song Xingyu chuckled, "Brother, you also know you are blind."
Song Xingjin: “…”
She muttered, "I thought you didn't know you were blind."
