She was like a piece of driftwood with a tow rope, tethered to the stern of a ship, adrift and directionless, sailing with the ship.
Seeing that she knew to fasten her seatbelt, the car drove off steadily.
He didn't go anywhere else; he parked his car in front of Pinhua Pavilion. A doorman recognized his car and hurriedly came forward to open the door.
They entered the prepared room one after the other.
It wasn't like an ordinary private room; it was more like a dining area next to an office, undisturbed by others. There was even a family photo of the four of them on a desk nearby.
Because Qiao Yiming often came over, and given her status it wasn't appropriate for her to eat in an open-plan place, they simply set up a room next to Qiao Yiyang's office specifically for the young lady to dine in.
Although this place can be considered Qiao Yiyang's private office, Anna has also come here a few times because Qiao Yiming often comes.
Anna only came to her senses slightly after being forced into her seat and tried to resist.
"Thank you, I'm not hungry."
Her words were like a bell signaling the arrival of food; several people carrying trays came in and arranged the dishes on the table.
My stomach let out a disobedient growl.
Qiao Yiyang raised her hand, and only the two of them remained in the room.
"Eat." He pulled out a chair, sat down, and uttered two words that left Anna with no way to refuse.
The dinner table was quiet, with no one speaking. Occasionally, the sound of chopsticks clattering against plates could be heard. Qiao Yiyang's occasional movements only added to the atmosphere, and soon her bowl was overflowing.
"You eat it yourself, I can't eat it."
“How can you take care of your mother if you don’t eat? Eat and rest here for a while. The caregivers will watch over her tonight. I’ve left your phone number; they can contact you directly if anything happens.”
His words almost completely shut down any reason Anna was looking for to refuse.
...
Then the whole room fell into a deathly silence again.
Qiao Yiyang wiped her mouth, not in a hurry to leave. She watched as the woman in front of her finished all the food in her bowl before she stood up.
Anna, who couldn't sleep at all, lay in his lounge. A calming incense made her feel drowsy. In the end, she felt as if someone tucked her in while she was sleeping and then left.
On the way to the psychology department with Luo Luo, Song Xingyao kept thinking about how to get some information out of her.
But when it comes to crucial moments, this girl becomes evasive, as if she has memorized her lines, and you can't get any information out of her.
Although I had a strange feeling, I put my mind at ease, since the people around me were still friendly.
Thinking about this, the man's face involuntarily appeared in my mind.
When it comes to wicked intentions, who can compare to him?
She only realized how spacious the office was when she stepped inside. Not only was the office itself quite large, but it also had a private treatment room and a rest room prepared for her...
This...isn't it a bit too extravagant? Even if it were the standard treatment for a specially appointed expert, this was still a bit excessive.
But the dean kept saying that with Song Xingyao joining, he believed the psychology department's rating would improve, and he kept expressing his gratitude.
Finally, it was Luo Luo who spoke up, saying that Jiangcheng's psychology department was the best in the entire city, which was why the hospital invested so much in it, and that dispelled Song Xingyao's concerns.
She thought it best not to attract too much attention.
As Song Xingyao walked out of the hospital, she saw Lao Xu already waiting downstairs. She then noticed that his car was quite eye-catching, so she quickly got in.
But instead of rushing back, he said, "Old Xu, why don't you drive around the area? I'll get familiar with it."
"Yes, husband... Song Xingyao."
Having almost mispronounced the name, Lao Xu simply shut his mouth.
The car circled the surrounding streets twice. Song Xingyao, like someone who had just arrived in Jiangcheng, looked out the window at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets.
I don't know if it was from the wind or from staring at the outside for too long.
I suddenly felt a throbbing, aching pain in my head.
When I opened my eyes again, the car had already arrived at the cross-river bridge.
She called out urgently, "Stop the car!"
Startled by her exclamation, Lao Xu pulled the car over to the side of the road.
As soon as the car came to a stop, the people in the back seat quickly opened the door and rushed out.
He left Lao Xu's voice behind.
The wind was strong by the river at the end of summer, blowing Song Xingyao's hair back high.
She stood in front of a pillar, a familiar scene flashing through her mind, but it passed by so quickly that she couldn't quite grasp it.
My eyes stung from the wind.
She reached out and touched the stone pillar, her head buzzed, and a sharp pain made her crouch down, clutching her head.
Suddenly, she felt a pressure on her shoulder, and the wind around her seemed to be blocked out. She looked up at the man in front of her with a dazed expression.
"How could it be you?" The chaotic consciousness in my mind suddenly drifted away.
Fu Siming watched her movements, seemingly lost in thought. His expression was anything but pleasant, and even carried a hint of fear.
Instead of getting a reply, I heard him ask, "Why did you decide to come here?"
"I... I don't know, Lao Xu drove here and suddenly... felt inexplicably familiar."
She wasn't lying, but she just felt strange. Why would she suddenly want to get off the bus on an ordinary bridge, and why would her head start throbbing uncontrollably?
She had barely finished speaking when she felt a pull on her hand and was pulled into his arms. She couldn't see his face, but she could hear the man's rapid heartbeat.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Song Xingyao was a little confused by his sudden hug.
But the clear sound in his ear seemed to transmit his anxiety, unease, and fear directly to himself.
