Chapter 159 Secondary CP: Song Xingyu x He Jin (1)
1.
Song Xingyu usually stays at home with her grandmother, and goes to Shiyou for a drink when she has time.
At Shiyou, she met many new friends who worked in different industries, were of different ages, and had different experiences.
Song Xingyu felt very novel talking to them. They were just casual acquaintances and might never meet again.
He Jin walked into the bar and saw Song Xingyu chatting with strangers again.
He frowned, took out his phone and sent her a message: [Miss Song, I have something to talk to you about. Can you come over?]
Song Xingyu saw the message and turned around to look for someone as usual. She curled her lips and replied: [Who is Miss Song? My name is not Miss Song, my name is Song Xingyu.]
He Jin lowered his head, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: [Song Xingyu, can you come over here for a moment? ]
Song Xingyu: [Call me Xingyu.]
He Jin: “…”
He reluctantly followed her instructions: [Xing Yu.]
Song Xingyu had walked up to him at some point, giggled, and asked him, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
He Jin glanced at the people at that table and asked, "Are they your friends?"
Song Xingyu nodded, "I guess so. To be more precise, we are just friends we met by chance."
Hearing this, He Jin glanced towards the bar and saw those people hiding like turtles.
He said, "Don't listen to Chen Ran's words about bars being like the underworld."
"I have no right to interfere with who you communicate with. As a friend, I remind you not to share your personal information with them, don't add them on WeChat, and try not to meet them again after leaving the bar."
Almost everyone in Lincheng knows about Junxi Hotel Group, and they are afraid that some people with ulterior motives will know Song Xingyu's identity and have bad intentions.
It was rare for He Jin to talk so much to her.
Song Xingyu felt sweet in her heart as she looked at his face, which was so handsome that people couldn't help but tear off his clothes.
Chen Ran and the others all said that He Jin was definitely interested in her.
What the public says is always somewhat correct.
He Jin saw her staring at him with bright eyes.
He didn't know if Song Xingyu had taken his words to heart, "Miss Song?"
Song Xingyu frowned. "Call me Xingyu. I don't know how many times I've emphasized this. Why don't you change it?"
He Jin repeated patiently, "Okay, Xingyu, did you hear what I just said?"
Song Xingyu hummed, "I know all this. I'm not that stupid."
She laughed. "Do you think I'm naive? You haven't communicated with those people in my circle. Talking to them is like a large-scale palace intrigue. I know who is real and who is fake."
In this case, He Jin said no more.
After He Jin went up to the office on the second floor, Song Xingyu returned to the booth to say something to them, and then went to the bar to find Chen Ran.
As soon as she arrived, Chen Ran immediately gossiped, "Xingyu, what did Brother Jin say to you just now?"
Song Xingyu ordered a glass of fruit wine. "Nothing much. He Jin was worried that I'd been cheated, so he just reminded me."
Her brother probably went home tonight and sent her a message.
Brother: [Xingyu, don't come back too late. Ask the driver to pick you up before you go home.]
Song Xingyu asked: [Brother, is grandma asleep?]
After waiting for two minutes, her brother replied: [Asleep.]
Then she'll go back later.
Song Xingyu said to her brother: "Brother, I'm chatting with Chen Ran and the others now. I'll be back later. You should go to bed early and don't have to wait for me."
After sending this message, Song Xingyu asked Chen Ran to ask He Jin what time he would be home.
Chen Ran was puzzled. "Why are you asking him what time he'll be home? Brother Xingjin just sent me a message asking me to send you home early."
Song Xingyu snatched Chen Ran's phone away and pointed the phone interface towards him, "Unlock."
The bar waiter was calling him, but Chen Ran ignored the gossip and unlocked Song Xingyu.
Song Xingyu found He Jin and imitated Chen Ran to send a message: [Brother Jin, what time will you be home tonight? ]
He Jin didn't notice anything: [I should be back early, what's going on? ]
Song Xingyu then asked: [What time is breakfast? ]
He Jin pondered this sentence. It didn't sound like something Chen Ran would say. He tentatively sent a message: [What time do you want me to go back?]
Song Xingyu replied without any defense: [Ten o'clock.]
After waiting for a minute, Song Xingyu received a reply, which only contained the word "OK".
Putting down the phone, He Jin curled his lips in amusement.
Just as ten o'clock arrived, someone knocked on his office door. He Jin looked over and said in a slightly raised voice, "The door is not locked, come in."
Seeing Song Xingyu, He Jin pretended to be surprised and asked, "Miss Song, why is it you?"
Before Song Xingyu could open her mouth to correct him, He Jin smiled and called her name, "Xingyu."
Song Xingyu nodded in satisfaction and said, "My driver has asked for leave for family matters, and Chen Ran hasn't finished get off work yet. Can you take me home?"
He Jin looked at her and said, "Okay."
He turned off the computer and picked up his suit jacket that was lying on the sofa.
Song Xingyu, who was standing at the door, considerately helped him turn off the lights, secretly praising herself for being so smart.
He Jin didn't doubt her words at all.
She now has Brother He Chi in charge of the rear, and she has also come to her senses, so she is not afraid that He Jin will not surrender.
Passing by the bar, Song Xingyu smiled proudly at Chen Ran and the others.
She deleted all the chat records. Chen Ran didn't know what she sent to He Jin. He looked at the two people leaving the bar together with a confused look on his face.
He muttered, "It seems that Brother Jin is not far from falling."
The bartender came over and said, "On the surface, Xingyu is the winner, but she's also the real loser."
Chen Ran frowned and asked, "What exactly did you say?"
The bartender pretended to be profound and said, "If you don't understand, it proves that you are still young. Try to understand it carefully, young man."
After saying that, he patted Chen Ran on the shoulder.
Chen Ran: “…”

Song Xingyu was waiting on the street for He Jin to drive over. When she saw his car, she happily opened the passenger door and got in.
He Jin opened the navigation and said, "Give me your home address."
It was a rare opportunity to be with him, and Song Xingyu suddenly didn't want to go home so early. She clutched her stomach and said anxiously, "He Jin, what should I do if I'm hungry?"
He Jin asked, "Didn't you have dinner before coming to the bar?"
"I can't be hungry after dinner?"
Seeing her say this angrily, He Jin smiled and said, "That's not what I meant."
"What do you want to eat?"
In fact, she wasn't too hungry. Song Xingyu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not picky about food. I can just find a restaurant that's still open and eat."
He Jin took her to the restaurant he often went to.
After the meal was served, Song Xingyu regretted finding such a stupid excuse.
I feel full, but I can’t waste food.
She picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
He Jin was not hungry, but he ate a little with her.
Halfway through, he heard Song Xingyu burp. He Jin then looked at her carefully and saw that she was frowning slightly, as if she was in pain.
He reacted, feeling a little helpless and inexplicably distressed, so he said tactfully, "It's hard to fall asleep if you eat too much for dinner. I see you've eaten quite a lot, that's enough."
Song Xingyu looked at the untouched dishes on the table and asked, "What should we do with these dishes?"
He Jin thought that his parents were busy reviewing student papers and probably didn't go to bed so early.
"My parents also like to come to this restaurant. I pack some food and bring it back for them as a midnight snack."
Song Xingyu said with a sense of relief, "Then pack your things."
No, I’m too full. When He Jin asked the waiter to pack up the food, Song Xingyu held her stomach and breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, it’s better not to act blindly next time.
After leaving the restaurant, He Jin took her to the riverside for a walk to help digest the food. She walked very slowly, occasionally looking up to glance at him, then lowering her head again.
He Jin couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
Ever since he rejected Song Xingyu's confession, Song Xingyu's attitude towards him has been capricious, sometimes passionate and sometimes cold.
The two walked side by side, with a fist's distance between them.
When Song Xingyu raised her head, He Jin happened to look down at her, and the two of them stared at each other.
She saw He Jin's lips move slightly, probably thinking he was preparing to talk to her.
At this moment, her brother called, which was very unpleasant.
Song Xingyu answered the phone unhappily, "What's up?"
Hearing her tone, Song Xingjin frowned, "Why don't you go home?"
It was almost half past eleven. Song Xingyu knew her brother was probably waiting for her to come home before giving up, so she said dejectedly, "Go back now."
After hanging up the phone, Song Xingyu looked up at He Jin and asked him, "Did you have something to say to me just now?"
He Jin originally wanted to ask her what she thought of him.
He coughed lightly and said, "Well, I just wanted to ask when you'd be home. Your brother just happened to call, so I'll take you home first."
"Yeah?"
Song Xingyu didn't believe it. If she was asked when she would go home, why would she think for so long before speaking?
He Jin lied to her.
Song Xingyu got angry and turned around and left, "I'll go back by myself, I don't need you to send me off."
He Jin: “…”
Why are you suddenly angry?
He Jin quickly caught up with her and held her arm. "It's too late. I'll take you home."
He said helplessly, "Xingyu, I just feel that now is not a good time to talk."
Song Xingyu knew what He Jin was worried about. He was afraid that her liking for him was just a whim. He was concerned about her identity as the eldest daughter of the Song family and felt that they were not a good match.
She will use time and actual actions to prove the former, and she and her family don't care about the latter.
Although Song Xingyu stopped, she didn't speak to him.
He Jin had never interacted with girls before, and was afraid that she would get angry. If she ignored him, he would not say anything.
But it seemed that Song Xingyu was even angrier and even snorted at him when she got off the car.
He Jin parked the car in front of the Song family's villa and looked at the luxurious villa for a long time. Then he sent a message to his old classmate who was selling the house.
He asked: [In Lincheng, what is the approximate price of a villa with a good location and environment?]
An old classmate asked him: [Manor house or detached villa?]
He Jin thought about it and decided that a house for two people didn't need to be too big: [A small villa, but not too small either, needs to be spacious enough and have a garden.]
My old classmate quickly replied: "The best one is the one in Dijingyuan, but the price is not low, around 60 million per unit."
Dijing Garden, the property of Chen Feng's family.
Sixty million, it would be no problem to take out the savings he has accumulated from investing and starting a business over the years and get the full amount.
He Jin: [Please keep an eye on it for me.]
3.
Song Xingyu returned home angrily. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw her brother sitting on the sofa like an ice sculpture.
She sighed, both the brother and sister were unsuccessful in love.
"Brother, does Sister Zhang Qiao really not want you anymore?"
Song Xingjin glanced at her with his dark eyes, "Do you think your brother isn't sad enough yet? Do you want to stir up trouble again?"
Song Xingyu threw her bag on the sofa and said, not afraid of his anger, "You deserve it. Who told you to kick the opportunity away?"
"Chen Ran said you and He Jin left the bar together. Where did you go?"
Song Xingyu didn't say anything, "This is my freedom, you can't interfere."
Song Xingjin said in a deep voice, "Xingyu, you are my only sister. Grandma is old and doesn't have much energy to take care of you, but I can't just ignore everything. Do you understand?"
Song Xingyu said softly, "I understand. We're not going anywhere. We're just going to have a meal and then take a walk by the river."
She looked at Song Xingjin and said, "Brother, it's all your fault. If it weren't for your phone call, He Jin might have confessed to me."
Hearing this, Song Xingjin snorted, "So what if he confessed his feelings? You've been pursuing him for so long, you have to let him experience the feeling of being rejected."
Only after experiencing it can you know the pain of loss, just like him now.
Song Xingyu pondered over her brother's words. It was rare for her brother to say something so sensible.
She nodded in agreement, then picked up her bag and went upstairs happily.
When she came out of the shower, Song Xingyu received a message from He Jin: [I'm home.]
Song Xingyu replied with an "Oh".
After much thought, she decided that she had to follow the "cold and aloof" approach that He Chi suggested.
He Jin stood at the door of his parents' house and couldn't help frowning when he saw the word "Oh".
Is she still angry?
He's mother just heard footsteps outside the door. She looked through the peephole and saw that it was her son, so she opened the door.
Very surprised, he asked, "Xiaojin, why are you back so late?"
He Jin suppressed his emotions and raised the packed food in his hand, "I'll bring you some midnight snacks."
He's mother: "......"
Is her son possibly possessed by an evil spirit?
She shouted towards the study, "He Rongsheng, your son has brought you some midnight snacks, come out quickly."
Mr. He came out of the study without taking off his reading glasses.
Seeing He Jin setting up the table with greasy food, he asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Mother He lowered her voice and said, "I don't know either. Don't worry. If something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Let's observe first."
He Jin also knew that the old couple only ate until they were 60% full for dinner and only ate light food.
The couple was polite enough to sit down and eat something.
He's mother tested him, "Xiao Jin, are you in love?"
He Jin was drinking water and almost choked. Seeing his reaction, the couple smiled at each other.
There is hope.
They were not in a hurry for He Jin to answer.
After a long while, He Jin finally spoke, "Dad, Mom, if I find a girl whose family is much better off than ours, do you have any objections?"
He's father asked, "How much better?"
He Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's about the same as He Chi's family."
The gap was indeed quite large. Mother He thought for a while, then got up and went to the bedroom.
She took out all the dowry her parents had given her when she got married and all the valuables in the house.
She placed it on the table and said, "Son, all your father and I have left here."
"Although our family is not wealthy, it's not so bad that a girl would feel wronged if she married into our family."
He's father also supported her, "Before your aunt started her own business, your grandfather divided the antiques and valuable calligraphy and paintings in the family into two parts, half for me and half for your aunt."
"Your aunt has already taken her half, and my half is still with your grandfather. I will find a small truck to move it back home tomorrow."
He Jin looked at his parents with mixed feelings.
If he had known that he would meet Song Xingyu in the future, he should have earned more money.
"Dad, Mom, these are your things, I can't take them."
Mother He smiled and said, "You think too much. This is not for you, but for my future daughter-in-law. When will you bring her home for us to meet her?"
Facing his parents' eyes full of expectation, staring at him without blinking, He Jin was too embarrassed to speak.
He coughed lightly, "Dad, Mom, we...are not together yet."
He's father: "......"
He's mother: "......"
