Su Ping was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, Xu Yichen turned and left with a complicated expression.
No, did he misunderstand something?
On the subway, people would occasionally take out their phones and secretly take pictures of him.
Song Qi sighed helplessly and could only look down at his phone to make himself appear busy.
When he returned home with the marks on his face, Song Yifei heard him open the door and turned to look at the entrance. Her gaze involuntarily fell on his face, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Xiao Qi? Your face..."
Song Yifei couldn't quite control the corners of her mouth from smiling.
My younger brother has always been very clean and would never draw on his face like that.
And with all that graffiti on his face, could it be that his latest part-time job is tutoring kids?
The thought that her usually aloof younger brother would allow a child to put such a thing on his face left her momentarily stunned.
It seems that Xiao Qi has changed a lot recently. He is slowly accepting and changing many things that he would not have done before.
"Sister, I'm going to wash my face first."
Song Qi was too lazy to explain anymore, so he covered his face and went into the bathroom.
Turning on the light, Song Qi looked at his face in the mirror and laughed in exasperation.
She really is vindictive; it seems she's holding a grudge tonight.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have secretly drawn this on his face while he was asleep.
Song Qi wet the towel and then used some facial cleanser to wash his face.
After washing for several minutes, there were still some marks on my face. I guess I can only wait for them to disappear on their own.
In the end, he gave up. At worst, he could ask his sister for some concealer when he went out tomorrow, or he could wear a mask if all else failed.
When Song Yifei saw Song Qi come out, she waved to him and said, "Xiao Qi, come here. I have something to tell you."
Song Qi's brow twitched, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Because his sister spoke with an upturned tone, he hadn't heard her sound so happy in a long time since breaking up with Xu Yichen.
He shook the water off his hair and walked towards Song Yifei.
"Did you have dinner?"
As Song Yifei spoke, she mysteriously got up and took out a beautifully packaged cake box from the refrigerator.
It's my sister's favorite cake shop.
Song Qi rubbed his stomach. Actually, he had already eaten his fill at the Su family's house, but in order not to disappoint his sister, he shook his head.
"No, I'm actually a little hungry right now."
Upon hearing this, Song Yifei's smile widened, and she placed the cake on the table.
"That's great! I passed by a cake shop today and saw the cake you like, so I bought one for you."
As Song Yifei spoke, she opened the box, revealing a strawberry cake inside.
Because it was in the refrigerator, the cream hadn't melted yet, and it looked very appetizing.
Song Qi was taken aback. Why did he think the cream would melt?
"Try it."
Song Qi nodded and picked up the spoon his sister handed him.
Actually, he has never really liked desserts, but knowing that his sister does, he said that he likes them too.
Only then will his sister believe that when he bought it for himself, he also bought one for her.
The aroma of strawberry jam mixed with cream filled Song Qi's mouth as he scooped up a spoonful.
The cream melted in his mouth, and Song Qi was stunned for a moment, a scene flashing through his mind.
He seemed to be watching a girl under a tree eat a similar cake, but because it was too hot and she waited too long, the cream melted.
Who is that girl?
Song Qi frowned, trying to see the girl's face clearly, but found his mind blank and couldn't remember anything.
It was as if what he had just witnessed was merely his imagination.
When he tried to see clearly again, his head suddenly started to hurt, and Song Qi rubbed his temples uncomfortably.
"What's wrong, Xiao Qi? Is it not tasty?"
Seeing the pained expression on his face, Song Yifei asked with some concern.
As the cream melted slowly in his mouth, Song Qi clutched his chest and gasped for breath.
He felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by a hand, and it was throbbing with pain.
He seemed to have forgotten something very important, but he couldn't remember anything.
Seeing his difficulty breathing, Song Yifei was startled and quickly picked up the water glass on the table, patting his back with her other hand.
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong? Don't scare your sister."
She remembered that her brother had just had a physical examination in the first half of the year, and there was nothing wrong with his heart. Why is he having trouble breathing now?
It wasn't until a tear rolled down his cheek that Song Qi's reaction gradually subsided, but his body still couldn't help but tremble.
"elder sister……"
Song Qi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes in disbelief, feeling as if a piece of his heart was missing.
Song Yifei didn't know what was wrong with him, but after he calmed down, she still continued to pat his back for peace of mind.
"Sister, do you believe in parallel universes?"
Thinking about some unusual things that had happened to him recently, Song Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and this idea popped into his mind.
Could it be that he has really forgotten something?
Could it be that he really has some kind of bond with Su Ping, but not in this time and space?
Instead, it exists in another parallel world.
He didn't believe in these things at first, but when he put those strange fragments into this explanation, everything seemed to make some sense.
Song Yifei was stunned and didn't say anything because she didn't know why Song Qi suddenly brought up the topic of parallel worlds.
She didn't know how to answer him, because she didn't know whether parallel worlds actually existed.
Thinking about the pain that made it hard to breathe, Song Qi still couldn't quite shake off the emotions.
After calming himself down, he looked at Song Yifei.
"Sister, what did you say you wanted to tell me?"
Song Yifei's worried expression gradually relaxed after seeing that her younger brother was alright. Upon hearing what he said, she couldn't help but smile shyly.
"Yichen came to see me today. We met and talked about some things."
"It turns out I've been misunderstanding him all this time, and he's been suffering too."
They made up as expected.
Seeing that he was not speaking, Song Yifei thought he was unhappy, so she explained, "We talked a lot this time and cleared up all the misunderstandings."
"Yichen promised me that he would discuss things with me in the future and wouldn't have to shoulder everything alone like last time."
Song Qi pursed his lips and surprisingly found that he was not very moved.
As long as my sister is happy, that's all that matters, isn't it?
And what about him?
Song Qi clutched his heart, feeling an emptiness inside.
