Chapter 13 Chapter 13 No, why are you crying? ...
"A-choo."
Song Youning rubbed his itchy nose and gradually regained consciousness.
I had originally just wanted to take a nap, but I ended up sleeping incredibly soundly. I hadn't expected it to be so comfortable lying in the car. The pillow under my head was soft and warm...
wrong!
Song Youning suddenly opened his eyes.
The car was already parked in the parking lot, and it was dark and quiet all around.
When I opened my eyes, I saw not only the roof of the car, but also Ji Siyun's neat jaw.
Song Youning subconsciously held his breath.
In the darkness, Ji Siyun had moved from the front row to sit next to her without her knowing. Song Youning was resting her head on his legs, using him as a pillow, and had been sleeping until now.
From this angle, Song Youning could see his slightly protruding Adam's apple.
A moment of body stiffness revealed the fact that she was awake. Ji Siyun lowered his head slightly, his handsome face showing no emotion in the darkness, and his pair of shiny black eyes stared straight at her. Song Youning felt uneasy when she saw such a look.
It feels like being targeted by a dangerous animal.
She didn't say anything, and the other party was silent too.
Maintaining the same posture, Song Youning touched the phone that fell between the seats and pressed it, but the screen was still dark - it had run out of battery and turned off long ago.
Song Youning and Ji Siyun looked at each other. Her innate keen sense of danger made her dare not look away easily.
"Why are you sitting here?" She was the first to speak in the silent confrontation.
Ji Siyun stared at her, his dark, inorganic pupils reflecting her face, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
He didn't answer immediately, and Song Youning didn't panic. He slowly got up and sat aside.
"You fell asleep."
After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "I was going to call you, but you were sleeping soundly."
"Then why am I sleeping on your lap?"
Ji Siyun said calmly, "I was sitting here waiting for the young lady to wake up. She came over here on her own."
Song Youning pointed at his nose and said, "You mean, in my dream, I asked you to sit in the back seat and used you as a pillow?"
"Jisiyun, do you think I'm stupid?"
The young man stared at her with dark eyes with unknown meaning, and suddenly chuckled. In the darkness, his bright red lips parted slightly, and his hoarse voice sounded in the car.
"I can't fool the young lady after all." Ji Siyun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I saw that the young lady was not sleeping well, so I took the initiative to come to your door."
"After all... I have to serve the young lady well, don't I?"
Will this matter ever be over?
Song Youning's temples were throbbing. She closed her eyelids and rolled her eyes upwards. She gritted her teeth and didn't want to discuss the word choice with this crooked guy. She pushed open the car door with a cold face.
Her expression changed and she got out of the car. Because she had just unconsciously distanced herself from him, Ji Siyun, whose head was full of dark thoughts, suddenly became panicked.
Of course he knew that what he said was ambiguous, and he even said it in an ambiguous way on purpose, so as to appreciate the hint of surprise in Song Youning's eyes, which could laugh and get angry, but always seemed to be looking at him from the sidelines.
This made him feel that she finally had some vivid emotions towards him.
But she seemed angry.
Ji Siyun followed Song Youning out of the car. He had long legs and took big steps, but he didn't dare to get too close to her. He followed her a few meters behind her without saying a word.
The two returned to the apartment one after the other, and the door was closed by Ji Siyun.
"Tell me." Song Youning sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, folded his arms across his chest, and asked Ji Siyun with a serious expression: "Why did you do this?"
"If you feel embarrassed, Miss, I won't go there anymore." Ji Siyun walked up to her, lowered his head, and had a very indifferent expression.
She frowned slightly, her voice a little serious, "Ji Siyun, that's not what I'm asking."
To be able to compete with her elder brother Song Zhiyan, who also has the support of her mother's family and joined the group a few years earlier than her, she definitely cannot do it alone. Song Youning knows how to cherish talents and cannot understand Ji Siyun's behavior of not making good use of his abilities.
Besides, with this kind of hard work, how long would it take Ji Siyun to become the boss and then take revenge on her by sending her offline and home?
Before the system was taken offline, it was said that Ji Siyun entered the company with the trust of Song's parents, and later gradually gained the right to speak, gradually infiltrated and annexed the Song family.
But as of now, the Song family’s parents must have known that the original owner treated Ji Siyun like that, but they did not stop it. This shows that they did not take this adopted son seriously, let alone trust him.
We have to find an opportunity to let Ji Siyun join the Song family company.
Song Youning's mind was in turmoil, and the words she wanted to say went around in circles on her lips, and she processed them into a way that suited her vicious personality.
"But you're right. It's shameful for someone from my Song family to do hard labor." She raised her head and glared at him arrogantly, "Is there nothing else you can do?"
"Isn't he the top student in the academy? Can't he even find a decent part-time job?"
"Or are you born to be a hard worker and just like doing this kind of work?"
There was a sharp hint of contempt in her words. Song Youning observed Ji Siyun's expression as she spoke.
The young man's face was completely drained of color, even his usually rosy lips had become dull, and his long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow under the light.
The hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists and Ji Siyun's lips were stretched into a straight line, but he still stood there silently.
"Why don't you speak?" Song Youning continued, "Are you mute? Aren't you quite arrogant? You just..."
"Wasn't it arranged by the eldest lady?"
A hoarse voice interrupted Song Youning's impromptu performance. The young man tried hard to suppress his emotions, but his trembling tone still betrayed his pain at the moment.
"Every time I found an easy, high-paying job, you would have your husband and wife contact the other party and not hire me."
"My teacher recommended me to be a tutor, but you locked me in the basement and wouldn't let me out."
"After a long time and so many times, no one is willing to help me anymore."
"You said that a lowly person like me is only fit to do the dirtiest and most tiring work."
Black hair, snow-white skin, a fragile yet stubborn expression, calmly recounting the injustice he had suffered for a long time.
It was clearly the former "Song Youning" who did this bastard thing, but Song Youning felt guilty.
What did she just say? She is really not a human being.
The thin young man had delicate features, his soft lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were red, and there were traces of water in his dark pupils. He just looked at her quietly.
"Isn't this what the young lady wants?"
A tear slid across the fair face, fell to the ground and shattered.
Song Youning, who was in charge of the overall plan, suddenly panicked.
"No, why are you crying..."
She could no longer sit still, so she walked up to Ji Siyun, stroked his face with her slender hands, and wiped away the pearl-like tears that had broken off the string for him.
"I...I didn't mean that..."
Song Youning had never cried since she was old enough to understand things. Now, seeing a grown-up boy crying in front of her, she was at a loss as to how to comfort him.
The more she wiped the tears from her hands, the more she cried. She gritted her teeth and looked at Ji Siyun. The handsome young man had red eyes and stared at her with watery eyes, with big tears rolling down his eyes.
He felt wronged, sad, and in pain, and his whole body was about to break.
After just one glance, he felt so guilty that he turned his face away quickly. Song Youning really didn't know how to deal with this situation.
Even sitting at the negotiation table is easier than this.
Her brain was working fast, thinking about how to deal with the situation. She had no corresponding life experience, but what would the protagonist do in this situation in the novel?
Song Youning thought of a way. She stretched out her arms, tentatively, and gently wrapped her arms around Ji Siyun.
She hugged him.
The slender and warm palms gently patted his back, as if coaxing a child, the movements were extremely gentle.
"Okay, stop crying..."
The petite, soft body pressed against his chest, and Ji Siyun embraced her with the rich aroma of jasmine tea.
Her soft voice came from her chest, "I won't treat you like that again. Don't cry, Ji Siyun."
The arms hanging at his sides actively wrapped around the girl in front of him, and with a little force, he deepened the hug.
The young man was much taller than the girl, so Song Youning in his arms could not see that the gloomy and handsome young man was crying, but a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
His dark eyes were fixed on the person in his arms, and Ji Siyun greedily breathed in her fragrance.
Song Youning felt him hugging her back even tighter. Just as she was about to struggle to let go, she heard his hoarse and low voice coming from above her head.
"I don't blame the young lady."
Song Youning was about to push his hand away and stop.
"I was originally a lowly person, sleeping in a grass nest in a shabby mud house, competing with wild dogs for food. If the young lady hadn't brought me out of the mountains, I don't even know if I would be alive today."
"It's my fault. I have nothing and can do nothing for the young lady. I'm always causing trouble for her and bringing shame to the Song family..."
Ji Siyun's voice was trembling, and Song Youning's heart tightened when he heard it.
"Don't say that." She patted his back soothingly, her movements a little awkward and unnatural.
"You are smart and good at studying, and the scholarship in the college is yours every year."
"You are strong and brave. You grew up unyielding in such an environment. Even at such a young age, you took good care of your grandmother."
"You're even a good cook. You keep the house in perfect order. Without you, I wouldn't even know how to boil water."
She comforted him clumsily, "Ji Siyun, you are very good. I shouldn't have treated you like that."
The arms around her tightened, and Song Youning seemed to be buried in his arms. His chest trembled, and his strong heartbeat rang in her ears.
"I'm not okay."
"I am shallow, mean, and selfish. I will do anything to survive, including lying, cheating, and even stealing."
"You gave me the chance to live and changed my life forever."
Ji Siyun hugged her tightly, as if swearing.
"My lady, everything I have is given to me by you.
"I will never betray you."
There was a sudden sound of electricity in my mind.
"Ding! Your system is online."
Song Youning's eyes suddenly lit up.
You bastard, you're finally back!
