Seeing the aggrieved expression on the man's face, Song Xingyao turned her face away, not so heartless as to let go and leave him with her back turned.
"You..." Both of their voices rang out at the same time.
Fu Siming didn't wait for her to speak first this time, because he was afraid of hearing her say things like "you don't want to see me" or "you should leave now."
All I heard him say was, "Are you free? Let's have lunch together?"
I felt that his words were a bit strange. First, I didn't know why he suddenly came over, and then there was this strange invitation.
Song Xingyao looked at him and said, "No, I'm going to show my new colleagues around at noon. With President Fu here, I think the hospital cafeteria will be bustling. You should go back."
She thought Fu Siming would bring up yesterday's events, but since he didn't, she felt both relieved and frustrated.
But the man behind her was like a robot that wouldn't obey commands, following her all the way to the office. Because Fu Siming was so conspicuous, many people stared at the two of them along the way.
This made Song Xingyao feel very uncomfortable again.
Finally back in the office, I opened the door and saw Shi Yu reading on the bookshelf next to Song Xingyao's desk, casually flipping through Song Xingyao's graduation thesis from Sekro.
Shi Yu immediately met Fu Siming's gaze behind her, and Song Xingyao walked straight over.
"Why did you dig this out and look at it? You've seen it before, so you can't just say now that the original guidance wasn't given, Professor Shi!" After saying that, she took the collection of papers back from his hands without any politeness.
Shi Yu gave a helpless smile. "I was just admiring your work from your student days. Why are you in such a hurry? Do you really think of me as your teacher? I remember you were scared when you saw your advisor back then. What's wrong? Did you get PTSD?"
Instead of getting a reply, Song Xingyao was glared at fiercely and shoved the book back into the bookshelf.
Song Xingyao was studying under a professor with an eccentric temper at the time. He had extremely high research requirements, and the old man in the humanities and social sciences was so serious that even Song Xingyao couldn't handle him. However, she was considered to have been scolded the least in the entire group. Some of her classmates were scolded so badly that they cried and went to the dean to change professors.
Fortunately, despite his torment, Song Xingyao still managed to graduate smoothly.
Fu Siming, who was still standing at the door like a statue, saw them laughing and joking about the years he missed with Song Xingyao. He felt frustrated and unable to join in the conversation. In addition, Shi Yu's feelings for Song Xingyao made him feel like a huge third wheel.
A third wheel? How could that be? Fu Siming immediately realized that they weren't divorced yet, and Song Xingyao was still his wife.
Why would someone who is the original wife want to turn their own wife into a mistress?
He straightened his back and, upon hearing Song Xingyao say she planned to take Shi Yu to the hospital cafeteria, instantly went on high alert.
Song Xingyao hadn't originally planned to take him to the hospital cafeteria, but since she had already told the man at the door, she couldn't change her mind now.
Shi Yu readily accepted the opportunity.
So Fu Siming, adhering to the principle that he wouldn't be kicked out if he didn't speak, silently followed her. The strange three-person activity eventually turned into two people chatting and laughing, while Fu Siming followed by her with a cold face.
Because the hospital doctors are on duty in the outpatient department, they eat at staggered times, so there aren't many people in the canteen at this time.
There weren't this many strange looks.
Song Xingyao was somewhat relieved, but the man following behind her was too conspicuous. Even though she was talking to Shi Yu the whole way, she couldn't ignore his eager gaze.
Not wanting to make a scene in public, Song Xingyao pinned the two men to the table and ran away to order food.
After Song Xingyao left, the two people at the table exchanged glances, which did not look friendly.
Shi Yu could tell that the atmosphere between them was strange, so he smiled and joked, "I wonder when President Fu started to have the mind to be a follower?"
He deliberately provoked Fu Siming.
Fu Siming already had a cold expression, and when he heard him say that, the temperature around him dropped even more.
"I didn't know Professor Shi was so shameless, persisting even though he knew there was no hope."
Shi Yu was not angered by him at all. Instead, her eyes curved even more. "How does President Fu know I have no hope? Marriage can end in divorce. Who can be sure that feelings in this world will never change?"
Perhaps it was hearing the word "divorce" from a competitor that made Fu Siming too lazy to pay attention to his insidious provocation. In any case, she didn't believe that Song Xingyao would really fall for this treacherous man who spoke ill of others in public.
His act of being harmless in front of Song Xingyao is annoying to look at.
He even suspected that Shi Yu deliberately brought up the time when Song Xingyao was studying at Saikeluo, the time he missed and the lonely time when Song Xingyao was filled with despair and had to leave Jiangcheng.
She is such a grateful person. She will always remember any kindness others show her, not to mention that when she was studying alone in Sekro, they were almost always by her side.
Thinking of this, he seemed to deflate, his tall figure leaning against the back of the plastic bench in the cafeteria, yet still carrying a unique sense of noble loneliness.
When Song Xingyao returned after ordering her food, she ran into Luo Luo, who had left without lunch that day, and invited her over.
Upon noticing the two men sitting opposite her, one looking smug and the other dejected, Song Xingyao glanced at Shi Yu, that old fox, and asked him with her eyes if he had said something inappropriate again.
Fu Siming, who happened to look up, saw them and assumed they were exchanging glances. His frustration intensified, and a spark of anger ignited within him.
Luo Luo was a simple-minded person. She took the tray and sat down next to Shi Yu, which saved Song Xingyao the trouble of choosing.
Song Xingyao went around to sit next to Fu Siming.
Fu Siming immediately developed a great liking for Luo Luo, who had such good judgment.
I feel less tightness in my chest.
The entire dinner table was practically a fan meeting for Luo Luo. She was naturally outgoing, and Shi Yu was a renowned psychological counselor, but because he took on few cases, the rumors about him became increasingly exaggerated.
Luo Luo was incredibly excited to hear that he could control other people's minds. Moreover, the person sitting opposite her, Fu Siming, was a top figure in Jiangcheng's business circle. The fact that she could dine at the same table with them made her extremely excited.
Song Xingyao felt that bringing Luo Luo along was absolutely the right decision, marveling at the fearlessness of a newborn calf.
Despite her barrage of questions, the two men maintained their friendly smiles, almost as if they were competing, and simultaneously placed a piece of food on Song Xingyao's plate.
Even the slow-witted Lolo could sense the feeling of swords flashing and shadows flying.
Besides, both men picked up the same dish. The braised pork was the one Song Xingyao ate the most on the table.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became quiet.
Song Xingyao gently put down her chopsticks, without touching anyone's food, wiped her mouth, and said, "I'm full."
