5. Blind Date
◎These two children are a perfect match◎
As soon as these words were spoken, several pairs of eyes turned to Song Shixi, the person involved.
Hearing this, Song Shixi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered who the other person was.
Wei Shuqiang, one of the original owner's blind dates, is a fair-skinned man. Although his family conditions are not as good as the Qin family, they are not bad either. They both work in the unit.
The two had only met once before. He fell in love with the original owner at first sight and did not care about her background. He asked his parents to ask about her many times. Zheng Huilan also felt that the two children were suitable, so she tried to match them up several times.
Unfortunately, the original owner was completely focused on Li Yanxing and looked down on everyone else, so she rejected him directly.
This time, the other party must have been unwilling to give up and came to inquire again. Zheng Huilan couldn't resist and had to help speak again.
Song Shixi took a deep breath, forced a smile, and declined politely: "I have something to do this Saturday, so I won't go."
Her ideas were completely different from the original owner's. She was only nineteen years old and had not even reached the legal age for marriage. Why did she have to find a man to marry when she could do something else?
Besides, how can such an important matter be handled so carelessly?
No matter how outstanding Wei Shuqiang was, she didn't want to spend her whole life tied to a man she had only met a few times and didn't know.
But the original owner had been clamoring to get married before, and now she suddenly said that she didn't want to get married, which might arouse suspicion. It would be better to go with the flow and refuse this time. When she moved out and had less contact with the Qin family, she could find an excuse that she wanted to talk about marriage after graduation.
"Then Sunday is also fine."
Zheng Huilan could clearly hear the hidden meaning in Song Shixi's words, but she really thought that Wei Shuqiang was a good guy. If Song Shixi missed this village, it would be difficult for her to come across this store.
Let’s not talk about how many requirements the prominent families in Beijing have for marrying a wife. Even ordinary families are picky.
Song Shixi's appearance is indeed beyond reproach. She has lived for so long, but has never seen many people who can be more beautiful than her. However, beauty cannot be used to make a living. No matter how beautiful a person is, it will be useless if he or she has bad character.
Just because she was so cruel as to push Zhiyi down the stairs, almost making Zhiyi unable to dance anymore, few decent families in Beijing dared to marry her.
The boy from the Wei family didn't care and was willing to marry her. She was already lucky.
When she thought of this, the anger that Zheng Huilan had been holding back deep in her heart began to surge out, making her face darker and darker.
No, she had to marry Song Shixi off quickly. Every day she stayed in the Qin family, she would have to put on a smile. This was more painful than killing her.
"I feel like he and I can't talk to each other. We have no common topics, so let's just forget it." After hearing what Zheng Huilan said, Song Shixi became more straightforward.
"That child is a little shy. He becomes more talkative the longer you spend with him. Do you want to get in touch with him again?"
"Aunt, this isn't a question of how much you talk..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Qin Boyuan frowned and interrupted, "Okay, if Shixi doesn't like her, forget it. There are so many outstanding men in Jing City, you can find another one."
"It's easy for you to say. Why don't you help find it?" Zheng Huilan had been holding her breath, and when she saw Qin Boyuan speak so lightly, she couldn't help but retort.
"There are so many things to deal with at the factory, how can I have the time?" Qin Boyuan snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Dad, Mom, have a drink of water." Qin Zhi felt that something was wrong, so he quickly stepped forward and turned into a caring little cotton-padded jacket to pour a glass of water for each of them. Only then did their expressions ease a little.
Song Shixi didn't expect things to turn out like this. A hint of discomfort flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he met Qin Zhiyi's cold eyes opposite him.
Given her awkward position in this family, it would be better for her to remain silent as she would only make more mistakes if she spoke more.
Song Shixi lowered his head and closed his mouth.
No one spoke at the table for a while, until Qin Yue stood up and left, which seemed to put an end to this farce.
"You are dissatisfied here and think there is a problem there. I am increasingly confused about what you young people are thinking nowadays." Zheng Huilan couldn't stay any longer, so she left after saying this.
Qin Zhiyi hurriedly followed, and suddenly only Song Shixi and Qin Boyuan were left at the table.
"Your aunt doesn't have any bad intentions. She's doing this for your own good. Don't take it to heart, Shixi."
When facing Song Shixi, Qin Boyuan's gloomy expression softened a lot.
Hearing this, Song Shixi nodded politely, "Aunt has been running around for me all this time, I'm very grateful to her. But I wasn't thinking straight before and did a lot of things that disappointed her, and Zhiyi..."
Having said this, she put on a distraught look and her tone became increasingly depressed.
As expected, Qin Boyuan's expression changed slightly, and a trace of relief flashed across his face. "It's not your fault. You and Zhiyi are of the same age, so misunderstandings and conflicts are easy to occur. I believe you didn't mean it at that time. What happened is over. Your aunt and Zhiyi won't blame you."
Song Shixi lowered her head obediently. The two chatted for a few more words, and then she left Qin's house on the pretext of going to class.
Only after I got out of the door did my tense body completely relax.
This meal was really torturous. Qin Boyuan seemed to care for and protect her in every way, but in fact he threw all the big and small matters to Zheng Huilan. Zheng Huilan was still brooding over the fact that the original owner had pushed Qin Zhiyi down from the building. She didn't even have time to hate her, so how could she treat her sincerely?
Not to mention Qin Zhiyi herself. She was very close and friendly to the original owner at the beginning and really treated her as a younger sister. That's why she repeatedly advised her to study hard and not focus all her attention on getting married.
But the original owner misunderstood Qin Zhiyi as having ulterior motives and couldn't stand her being better than him. She said all kinds of cold words to her and later pushed her in a fit of emotion, which completely chilled Qin Zhiyi's heart.
If Qin Zhiyi discovered the unclear relationship between the original owner and Li Yanxing in the future, she would probably hate her even more.
And Qin Yue...
Whenever Song Shixi thought of him, he would get a headache.
In short, after this meal, she became even more determined to move out.

Traveling these days is not as convenient as it is in later generations. Most people would choose public transportation, the most common of which is the bus. In addition, those who have a close destination would choose to ride a bicycle.
Rich people have more choices. They can either travel by private car or choose a taxi that has just appeared on the market. This is a yellow mini van. Although it is not as beautiful and stylish as a car, it is much more convenient and comfortable than a bus. People affectionately call it "mian di" or "xiao mian".
The reason why Song Shixi knew this was because the original owner always chose to take a taxi when traveling. On the one hand, she wanted to pretend to be rich in front of her classmates, and on the other hand, she wanted to compete with Qin Zhiyi, thinking that if she took a taxi, it would not be much lower-class than if she took a car.
In fact, at the beginning, both of them were going to drive the family car, but after they broke up, Zheng Huilan was so angry that she only asked the driver to drive Qin Zhiyi.
If Song Shixi had some spare money, he would also like to take a taxi, so he wouldn't have to squeeze through the crowds and finally get on the bus like he does now.
She squeezed in the crowded carriage for a long time before she quickly found a corner.
Song Shixi held onto the railing to steady herself. There were a few aunts standing in front of her. They should know each other. As soon as they got on the bus, they started chatting. Although it was a bit noisy, it was better than standing next to a man who reeked of cigarettes.
The car swayed forward, the window half open, and the wind blew gently, blowing away some of the irritability.
Song Shixi leaned against the window, admiring the scenery that was very different from that of later generations. There were not many tall buildings on the street. What was common were low-rise buildings with red walls and green tiles, alleys, cypress trees on the street, and energetic people...
These together create the unique flavor of Beijing.
After looking around all the way, Song Shixi finally got off at the station. Following his memory and the signs on the roadside, he successfully entered the campus and found the classroom. He found a random seat and sat down, and his heart was finally at ease.
The original owner studied accounting, which is a very popular major nowadays. It is a popular major with huge market demand and good employment prospects.
But Song Shixi studied broadcasting and hosting arts in his previous life, which had nothing to do with accounting. It could be said that he was a complete layman and had no idea where to start.
The original owner was able to get into university in this era. Although she was not among the top students, her learning ability should not be too bad. However, after she came to Beijing, she was thinking about how to get married every day. She never studied properly and failed several courses last semester.
Fortunately, I managed to pass the make-up exam at the beginning of this semester, otherwise I would have to retake it.
Thinking of this, Song Shixi felt a severe headache and sighed heavily while lying on the desk.
At this moment, someone suddenly patted my shoulder gently, "Shixi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Song Shixi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pretty girl with short hair appear in front of her. She was wearing a yellowed shirt and black trousers. She looked decent but a little rustic.
With just one glance, Song Shixi guessed the other person's identity.
Wu Qiuhong.
She and the original owner were half-fellow villagers, and Wu Qiuhong had a simple and enthusiastic personality, so after a few visits, their relationship became close.
At the beginning, the two were still friends and helped each other at school. Later, the original owner changed his mind and wanted to integrate into the life in Beijing. He began to dislike Wu Qiuhong for not keeping up with the trend and being poor and unfashionable, and gradually distanced himself from her.
Wu Qiuhong may have also realized the original owner's change, and no longer took the initiative to curry favor with him, so the two of them lost contact.
"Are you okay? You don't look well. Do you want to go to the infirmary?"
Wu Qiuhong looked at Song Shixi who was staring at her blankly, as if he couldn't believe it. A trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he asked again.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she noticed Song Shixi sitting in the middle seat. Seeing that her face was pale and she was absent-minded, as if she was sick, she hesitated for a long time and decided to go up and ask.
After all, no matter what, they were friends before. Even if Song Shixi treated her sarcastically again, she would accept it as long as she had a clear conscience.
She had prepared herself for some sarcastic remarks, but the man in front of her smiled and said in a gentle tone she had never shown her before, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
Hearing this, Wu Qiuhong took a step back in surprise, but she forgot that this was a tiered classroom. As she took a step back, her whole body lost its balance and she fell backwards.
