When Fu Siming returned home, Qi's mother was preparing dinner.
Fu Xunzhi lay alone on the small bed. When the servants saw him return, they voluntarily left the nursery.
Seeing him swaying unsteadily from side to side, laughing and joking, my initial anxiety was soothed.
He thought: Everyone says that Song Xingyao will definitely come back, so he should take better care of Fu Xunzhi so that when Song Xingyao comes back, she will see a healthy child and him who has been waiting for her all along.
His fingers brushed against Fu Xunzhi's forehead, and then, following the movement, were caught by the waving little hand.
"But when are you coming back? This time, I'll wait for you..."
...
From the lush greenery of summer to the frosty white of winter, Jiangcheng's winters are getting colder and colder. When she was pregnant with Fu Xunzhi, Song Xingyao said that Jiangcheng was too cold and that she must go to live in a warmer city in the future.
Fu Siming instructed people to turn the heating in the room up high enough, and Fu Xunzhi swayed and walked a long way on the carpet.
Jiang Man was overjoyed. She pulled Fu Siming out of the study, then had Fu Xunzhi walk up to him and picked him up in her arms.
For the first time, Fu Xunzhi changed his babbling words to "Mama".
Even Fu Siming was stunned and coaxed him to call out again.
Fu Siming was still in a daze, just standing there blankly, with Fu Xunzhi nestled in his arms.
Jiang Man turned around and wiped away her tears; she still missed her mother.
In the distant country of S, Song Xingyao looked at the photo of Fu Xunzhi taken by a reporter at the full moon celebration on her phone, her eyes welling up with tears, and then a warm smile crossed her face.
A classmate nearby nudged her, asking, "Skye, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I was just thinking about my family."
Song Xingyao has a very classic Eastern face, so she didn't doubt her words. She simply comforted her, saying, "Why don't you go back if you miss them?"
Song Xingyao didn't speak, but just shook her head, leaving those around her somewhat puzzled.
The man had no choice but to change the subject: "Skye, congratulations on being number one again! You've only been here for a little over half a year, and you're already this amazing. Joy next door must be so jealous of you!"
With a look of schadenfreude on her face, Song Xingyao felt helpless. Before Song Xingyao arrived, Joy had always been number one, and her looks and figure were also outstanding. Unfortunately, once this Eastern woman arrived, many people's attention was drawn to her, which made Joy very dissatisfied.
But Song Xingyao didn't want to compete with her. It would be a real shame to waste such a hard-won learning opportunity on meaningless competition.
Despite occasionally encountering discrimination and exclusion from those in the community, as well as inexplicable confrontations, Song Xingyao still managed to graduate with honors.
"Skye, you are truly the most diligent student I have ever seen."
When the dean of Sekro Academy turned her tassel, he gently gave her a hug.
"Thanks!"
"Why didn't you come today?"
Shi Yu is considered an outstanding alumnus of Sekro Academy. Since Song Xingyao studied there, Shi Yu would come back to visit every now and then, and occasionally bring her some photos of Fu Xunzhi that he had somehow gotten his hands on.
Rumors circulated on campus that she and Shi Yu were dating, which infuriated Joy, who had always admired Shi Yu.
With her seat next to the dean vacated and rumors swirling around her, Joy overturned Song Xingyao's desk, and the scattered booklets caught her attention.
Inside were photos of Fu Xunzhi from different angles, and at the end of the page was a faded, old photo with a small fingerprint on it.
Joy couldn't read the Chinese characters above, but she knew that this child had an important connection with Song Xingyao. Maybe... it was her child?
I took pictures of the booklet and had someone retrieve her school records. She was clearly unmarried, so it seems this Eastern woman was pregnant out of wedlock.
Joy became even more certain of her guess, overjoyed as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
Sitting in their seats, they didn't feel there was anything wrong with rummaging through things. Instead, after everyone had taken photos and returned, seeing the mess on the floor, they gathered outside the window and started talking non-stop.
Shi Yu had come to pick up Song Xingyao to go out for dinner to celebrate her successful graduation, and Zhuo Wen also made time to come back.
But I happened to encounter such a scene.
"Skye, is this your child?" Joy held the cover of the booklet in her hand, swaying it gently.
"Give it back to me! Why are you rummaging through my things?" Just as she was about to go forward to take it, Joy turned around and dodged away.
Two photos with Fu Xunzhi's smiling face were scattered inside.
Song Xingyao didn't want to argue with her. She simply picked up the photo from the ground, dusted it off, and put it in her shirt pocket.
Shi Yu, who was usually a refined and easy-going person, was shocked to see her being so domineering and bullying Song Xingyao. He took the things back from her with a dark face.
Joy was pulled forward by his movement and shouted at him, "Yu, you shouldn't be hanging out with a woman like that! She had a child out of wedlock and is a woman with an immoral private life!"
Hearing her say that, her already cold face darkened even more.
"Who are you? What's it to you? Rushing through other people's things like this, do you think I can't tell your character from your own?"
Joy was stung by his cold words and pointed at Song Xingyao's nose, but the latter carefully folded the booklet in her hand and didn't even glance at her.
After finishing her work, Song Xingyao spoke coldly, her words unhurried: "Joy, I don't think jealousy can make a person grow faster. Do those vulgar tricks and rumors really make more people see you? Looking at your confident and cheerful exterior, you are filled with inferiority. I think you should retake the Dean's course on 'Inferiority and Arrogance'."
The students who were watching the commotion all heard what she said.
For a psychology student, having their inner darkness laid bare and displayed is undoubtedly a tremendous blow.
Compared to illogical insults and abuse, a sharp revelation of their inner darkness makes them feel even more ashamed.
This Eastern woman showed Joy no mercy whatsoever. A normally glamorous and confident person was suddenly stripped naked in a market and put on display.
He gathered everything on the ground back into the box before walking over to Shi Yu, saying, "Let's go, don't keep Zhuo Wen waiting."
The two walked out of the classroom side by side, leaving Joy sitting there blankly behind them, being stared at and discussed by others.
Shi Yu looked at the woman beside him. He wondered if it was because of her past experiences that Song Xingyao always seemed indifferent, non-threatening, and without any discernible emotions.
But today, she delivered a gentle blow, each cut piercing the heart with perfect precision.
