When Song Xingyao arrived at the villa, she was surprised to find Zhuo Wen there as well.
A long line of people stood in front of Zhuo Wen in the hall, and his scolding voice could be heard: "How come we can't even find one person? Where could a woman like her have gone?"
The man in front of him nodded repeatedly and cautiously whispered to Zhuo Wen, "If we send more people to search, we're sure we can find Miss Lin."
Zhuo Wen impatiently raised his hand, turned around and saw Song Xingyao standing at the door pulling a small suitcase.
He looked like he was watching a show.
"You all go out first!"
Those people gave Song Xingyao a thank-you look and quickly left.
"I haven't seen you this angry in a long time?"
That's not untrue. From the time she met him to the time she accepted his help, and now that she's back in the country, Song Xingyao has never met anyone other than Lin Shuang who could make Zhuo Wen so angry.
She even admired Lin Shuang a little.
"Didn't Yu say he was going to pick you up? Why did you come back by yourself?"
“He suddenly had something to do. Besides, although I haven’t been back for so long, I’ve lived in Jiangcheng for over 20 years, so I’m more familiar with it than the two of you.”
She sat on the sofa opposite Zhuo Wen, and the housekeeper brought her a cup of tea.
"I heard from Shi Yu that you proposed to her? Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?" She took a sip of tea, but her eyes were still fixed on Zhuo Wen across from her.
Zhuo Wen was silent for a moment, then uttered a few words, "She's pregnant."
...
Song Xingyao's eyes widened. A drop of scalding hot tea spilled onto her clothes, which she then dusted off, finally cooling it down.
"...She's so young, and besides, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be so careless..."
Song Xingyao knew Lin Shuang's personality; she was the kind of person who would never let herself get pregnant so easily... How could such an accident happen?
For a moment, Song Xingyao didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort her by saying that if Lin Shuang contacted her, she would tell him.
After a day of repairs, Song Xingyao went to the First Hospital by herself.
The dean personally received her and said a lot of polite things like thanking her for her great help.
Song Xingyao went to meet the members of the research group, but unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance.
"Professor Xu!"
Xu Shi heard someone call his name from behind, turned around to greet them, and found that it was Song Xingyao.
He was notified that a very famous person in the industry, Skye, would be coming today, but he never expected that this person would be Song Xingyao.
"Xiao Song? What happened to you..."
"I came here to cooperate with brain and nerve research, I didn't expect to run into you here."
Xu Shi suddenly realized what was happening and asked, "You're back, Mr. Fu...does he know?"
Over the years, Fu Siming has kept his promise to establish a funding fund for the psychology department of Jiangcheng University, allowing everyone to conduct research with peace of mind.
Therefore, he continues to work on the front lines of projects and sometimes takes on practical tasks to help more people overcome trauma.
He thought that if he did that, his wife would be happy for him too.
Unexpectedly, she ran into someone who had crossed paths with Fu Siming so soon. She didn't explain, "He doesn't know that I came back this time just to do research, and I'll be going back soon."
“Hey… him,” Xu Shi paused, extending his hand, “Anyway, welcome to the project.”
The familiar manner of the two drew the attention of the researchers nearby.
Many members of the research team were students of Professor Xu and another professor of neuroscience.
Everyone was overjoyed to see a young and beautiful colleague arrive, and they all stepped forward to introduce themselves.
After learning about the basic research situation in the morning, Song Xingyao and Professor Xu arranged to have lunch together.
Song Xingyao politely served Xu Shi tea, and the two began to exchange casual greetings.
"I was in a bit of a rush this morning and didn't have time to congratulate you. I heard that after graduating from Scroo Academy, you've earned the title of 'Eastern Witch' in S Country."
Song Xingyao smiled and said, "No way, Professor, you're just teasing me. The Eastern Witch is all talk and no action. She just happens to run her own studio over there and has achieved some minor success."
"Xiao Song, you're too modest. When I suggested inviting you, a master of hypnosis in the industry, I didn't even know it was you beforehand. I'm really sorry."
"Professor Xu, you're too kind. I should be thanking you for such a wonderful project!"
Thinking about the treatment cases he had handled over the years, Xu Shi was unsure whether he should speak up, and ultimately changed the subject.
"You're not planning to let President Fu know you're back this time? But this project is a joint effort between the Psychology Department of Jiangcheng University and the Neurology Department of the First Hospital, and the funder is Tiansheng. I'm afraid..."
The incident four years ago caused a huge uproar, although it ultimately ended with Fu Yao being sent to a mental hospital.
However, the disappearance of the president's wife at Tiansheng is common knowledge.
After putting down her teacup, Song Xingyao slowly spoke: "It's alright. I knew I would run into him when I returned to Jiangcheng. Those things are all in the past. Besides, I didn't deliberately hide anything when I came back this time. I can't hide forever, can I?"
Professor Xu smiled and said, "You're right."
He extended his hand to Song Xingyao: "In short, welcome to the project team, and welcome back to Jiangcheng."
"Thanks!"
In the afternoon, a car drove over to pick up Song Xingyao from get off work. When the research team members saw this, there was a murmur of surprise.
It's such a shame that such a beautiful woman is no longer single.
Shi Yu gentlemanly opened the car door for her, and after the two left, they didn't notice a figure standing there for a long time at the hospital entrance.
"Everyone said I would pick you up, so why did you go back by yourself?"
"Oh, Shiyu, you're just like Zhuowen. It's so convenient to take a taxi from the airport. It takes you so much time and energy to come all the way from the company. Besides, I've lived in Jiangcheng for so long, I won't get lost, right?"
Shi Yu was rendered speechless by his words, and seeing her nonchalant expression, a fleeting look of disappointment crossed her eyes.
"Let's go. You said you wanted to eat at Pinhua Pavilion when we got back. It's changed a lot since then."
Shi Yu took the initiative to change the subject, which stirred Song Xingyao's thoughts. Returning to this familiar place made her feel both emotional and somewhat uneasy.
Those unfamiliar changes reminded her of the passing of time, and it seemed that this feeling could squeeze out some of the not-so-pleasant memories from the past.
As I was thinking, the car came to a smooth stop in front of Pinhua Pavilion.
A large, floor-standing life-size standee comes into view.
Fans crowded in front of Qiao Yiming's giant painting to take photos.
Her lively image appeared in his mind.
This young girl, who used to always call herself "senior sister," has long since stepped onto the screen and become a popular actress in both music and film.
