102 Feeling aggrieved
Wife, why didn't you call me? (More)
The windows in the living room were open, and a dark green fan was whirring, blowing up the hair of both of them.
ambiguous?
Wu Qiuhong's eyes flickered. She nodded first, then quickly shook her head. "I don't know if this counts as..."
She didn't reveal too much information, and Song Shixi was confused for a moment, so she simply asked Wu Qiuhong to tell the whole story from beginning to end, and she would help analyze it.
Wu Qiuhong took a deep breath, made up her mind, and whispered, "He and I are not in the same department."
"On my first day at work, I didn't know where to report. He saw that I was so anxious that I was about to cry, so he showed me the way. Later, when I was delivering documents to another department, I ran into him again and found out that he was in the marketing department."
At this point, Wu Qiuhong tucked her hair behind her ears, her face flushing. "We weren't close at first, but then we kept running into each other in the company cafeteria. He took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and over time, we became a bit more familiar. Last week, he said he liked me and asked if I'd be interested in dating him. I panicked and said no."
Hearing this, Song Shixi's eyes widened and he continued, "So you regret it now?"
"I have no regrets."
Wu Qiuhong firmly denied it, lowering her eyelashes, clasping her hands together, and lowering her voice. "My family is not well off, and I'm from another place. Brother Ye is so outstanding. Even if I agreed, we wouldn't have any results. It's better not to waste time in the first place."
Song Shixi frowned and subconsciously retorted, "It's just a relationship, does it have to have a result?"
But after saying this, thinking about the era they were in and Qiuhong's traditionally conservative and introverted personality, she sighed silently and said softly, "Qiuhong, you can't think like that. You only see his excellence, but you're not bad either. You can't choose your background, but you can choose other things."
"You are only twenty years old, young and beautiful, with excellent academic performance and good character. You have unlimited possibilities in the future."
"If you really like someone, why not give it a try? Nowadays, people advocate free love. Even if you date and don't end up together, it doesn't matter."
Hearing an idea that was completely different from her own, Wu Qiuhong raised her head in a daze and looked at Song Shixi, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Song Shixi held Wu Qiuhong's hand, his eyes serious, "Qiuhong, what I want to say is that you are very good, you are excellent! You must be more confident and improve your sense of worthiness. You deserve the best!"
"Of course, even if you like someone, you can't just blindly fall in love. What if the other person is a scumbag who just wants to play with little girls? So you have to open your eyes and make a choice."
"If you don't want to be in a relationship right now, focus on your studies and career at this stage and improve yourself. The higher you go, the different people you'll meet will be."
"By then, you might think that Brother Ye isn't that great after all."
Song Shixi winked at her coquettishly at the last sentence, which made Wu Qiuhong laugh out loud. She pursed her lips, smiled sincerely and said, "Thank you, Shixi."
After he finished speaking, he paused for two seconds before continuing, "I'll think about it."
Song Shixi knew that Wu Qiuhong was always a cautious person, so she patted her shoulder as if it was nothing unusual. Just as she was about to say a few more words, the phone beside her suddenly rang. The shrill ring scared her, and it was at this moment that she remembered that she had forgotten something very important. She screamed and rushed over to answer it.
"young married woman."
As soon as the other person opens his mouth, you know who it is without having to guess.
The deep voice drifted into his ears along with the wind. The straightforward and corny name made Song Shixi unconsciously clench the phone in his hand. A bright crimson color climbed up the tip of his ear, and his heartbeat became irregular.
"Why didn't you call me when you got home? Did you forget?"
Hearing this, Song Shixi immediately came back to his senses, swallowed guiltily, and replied hurriedly: "How is that possible? I just got home and was about to call you."
"Yeah?"
The drawn-out ending evokes a hint of danger.
Song Shixi coughed lightly, thinking that he was far away in Shenzhen. Whether he had clairvoyance or not, how could he know the truth? So he said without thinking, "Yes."
"That means Secretary Xu is lying."
As soon as Qin Yue said this, Song Shixi understood that it was Secretary Xu who reported the work progress to him. According to his meticulousness, he must have called Qin Yue as soon as he left her house. After all, there was a convenience store not far downstairs where he could make a phone call.
"Oh, I haven't seen Qiuhong for a long time, so I just chatted for a while."
Song Shixi bit the tip of her tongue, her fingers wrapped around the phone cord, her face still flushed with shame, looking a little coquettish. After a vague explanation, she immediately turned the tables and snorted, "Since you already knew the news, why didn't you call me first? You're still teasing me here."
There was silence for a moment, and then the tone suddenly changed from slow and gentle to aggrieved, and he said word by word: "Because I want to take your call."
There is only one word difference between answering the phone and making a call, but the meanings are very different.
Song Shixi pondered the deeper meaning of this, and felt that even the living room with the window open was a little stuffy. His breathing gradually became lighter, and the only sound in his ears was the beating of his heart, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"I hope you miss me. Don't forget me."
She said nothing, but he continued.
Song Shixi knew that Qin Yue said this on purpose to make her feel sorry for him, but even though she knew it was just a trick, she still couldn't help but want to go along with him and obey him.
"How could I possibly forget you? I didn't drink the love potion."
"Love Potion?"
Listening to him repeating himself with that rising tone, she could imagine his expression without even having to see him in person. He must be secretly happy in his heart, but with a cocky look on his face.
"Um."
After Song Shixi admitted it, he felt his face burning and goose bumps appeared all over his body. Especially since he spoke without thinking, he forgot that there were people present. Now that he remembered it and looked back, he saw Wu Qiuhong, whose face was also flushed.
"I still have some reports to look at, so I'll go back to my room first." Wu Qiuhong stood up from the sofa at a loss, and without waiting for Song Shixi to say anything, she ran away.
"Okay, let's go to bed early after watching."
I didn't think there was anything wrong with saying sweet words to Qin Yue, but this was especially true when we were alone.
Song Shixi was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She watched Wu Qiuhong trot away and disappear behind the bedroom door. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's all your fault. I'm too embarrassed to face anyone now."
Qin Yue chuckled softly on the other end of the phone, and one could hear how happy he was even through the line.
Song Shixi became angry and threatened to hang up the phone. Only then did he stop smiling and kept calling her "baby". He also said that he missed her so much that he had no focus on work and was still working overtime at the company at this time.
"Hmph, you're so smooth-talking." She spat at him, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
The two chatted for a long time before reluctantly hanging up the phone. It was getting late, so Song Shixi changed into a four-piece suit, washed up, and went to bed.
The next day, she took the local specialties and first delivered a portion to Lin Xiu'e, then turned back, took the one prepared for Zhang Sulan, and planned to walk to the intersection to take a taxi to find Zhang Sulan.
Halfway through the journey, I met an acquaintance.
"Shixi."
She was holding a parasol in one hand and carrying something in the other, just looking at the road ahead. If the other party hadn't called her, she might not have noticed. Following the voice, she saw Zeng Jingxu in a police uniform. When he saw her, he couldn't hide his joy on his face.
"I haven't seen you these days. I thought you went back to the Qin family. Later I asked Comrade Wu and found out that you were away on a long trip."
Although Beijing is not as hot as Shenzhen, the sun is still scorching and it is unbearable to stay outdoors for a long time. Song Shixi was sweating even with an umbrella, not to mention Zeng Jingxu who had to be exposed to the sun for a long time while performing patrol work.
Seeing the sweat on his face dripping down and almost into his eyes, Song Shixi remembered that there was a tissue in her bag, so she handed it to him and said, "Wipe it off."
After that, she answered his question: "Yes, I went out of town for work and came back yesterday afternoon."
She blurred the location because she didn't want Zeng Jingxu to know. He was a public security officer and his brain was more flexible than that of ordinary people. If he knew too many clues and followed them to guess the relationship between her and Qin Yue, that would be bad.
Although according to his personality, he would not say anything outside even if he knew, but it is better to be safe than sorry, and she did not want to cause any trouble.
Zeng Jingxu looked at the tissue she handed over and wanted to refuse, but the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back. He carefully reached out to take it, holding it in his palm but not wiping it. He just wiped his forehead with his sleeve and smiled, "I saw the newspaper you took for that garment factory. It's really beautiful."
Song Shixi didn't expect it to be so widely circulated. Zeng Jingxu actually saw it. He was stunned for two seconds before he said generously, "Thank you."
"By the way, you might not know since you're not at home, but a while ago, there were a few little girls hanging around your house, like they were staking out."
"After asking around, I found out they all lived nearby. They'd seen you before and read about you in the newspaper, so they thought you were a celebrity and came over to get your autograph. We did some persuasion and persuaded them to leave, so we haven't seen them in the past few days. But you'd better be careful when you go out in the future, just in case you run into someone with extreme ideas."
She was really confused now. At this stage, she had not really thought about this problem, because she had only taken a few sets of photos, appeared in newspapers and magazines a few times, and accompanied Yu Wan to Shenzhen to participate in a competition. Moreover, Beijing and Shenzhen are so far apart, and the Internet is not well developed in that era, so information flow is not fast.
She felt that she was at most a model with some minor fame, so she did whatever she wanted. But now, after Zeng Jingxu's reminder, she gradually started to pay attention to safety issues.
After her studio opens, she will receive more and more work and her popularity will surely increase rapidly. For safety reasons, should she move to a new place?
Song Shixi's thoughts were a little confused, so he took a deep breath and suppressed them temporarily. After expressing his gratitude to Zeng Jingxu, he said that he had something to do and had to leave first.
"Okay, bye."
Zeng Jingxu stood there, and only after he could no longer see her did he dare to raise his hand and look at the paper in his palm. The snow-white paper was stained with a little of his sweat, and was smudged with darker colors.
