Chapter 70
"Do you mind if I sit in the front?" Song Xianle naturally wanted to sit in the passenger seat. She also knew that he didn't have a girlfriend, so she just asked him symbolically.
"No problem."
In this way, Song Xianle got a ride with He Yanqing.
"Why are you back tonight?" She meant coming back to Liaokai University.
He Yanqing: "I'm having dinner with my family tonight."
Song Xianle nodded when she heard this answer. She thought of the three people she had just seen, and they must have come to see his sister.
He Yanqing was afraid that she didn't know why she was eating here, so he explained, "My sister is studying here."
"My parents are coming over today, and the whole family is here."
"It's rare for us to get together and have a meal together."
Song Xianle was stunned: Is he taking the initiative to mention his family?
Well, that's a good entry point.
She also took the initiative to tell He Yanqing the purpose of her visit: "I came to see Zhu Yan."
"Zhu Yan, do you still remember me? My roommate."
He Yanqing thought about the people he only remembered now. In addition to his roommates and more familiar friends, there were also the people in Song Xianle's dormitory.
He said "hmm" and replied: "I remember."
Song Xianle leaned back in his chair, glanced at him, blinked, and asked, "Where did you eat tonight? I seemed to see you when I was about to leave after dinner, but I didn't see clearly if it was you."
As she spoke, she observed He Yanqing's expression. Song Xianle didn't see any surprise on his face, as if he was sure that the person she saw was him. Could it be that he saw her too? Otherwise, how could he not be surprised?
She understood and smiled.
He Yanqing only saw them when he knew Song Xianle had left, unlike him who saw them at the beginning.
"We are at Dianjian Restaurant, are you there too?"
Song Xianle: "Yes, it's a coincidence again."
"Have you seen us?"
He Yanqing, let's see if you admit it. From the information she extracted from his expression just now, she could almost judge that He Yanqing must have seen them.
However, when he heard that she and he were in the same place, his expression didn't change at all. Either he already knew, or he completely didn't care about her.
Did he really just treat her as an ordinary colleague?
He Yanqing paused and replied, "Sorry, I didn't notice you."
Seeing that he had seen her but didn't say anything, Song Xianle wondered if he really didn't want to have anything to do with her, or was he just being awkward and refusing to admit it?
But why should he be awkward?
Thinking of this, Song Xianle's heart was up and down, which was very exciting.
She watched him look back at her, his expression calm and puzzled, making her wonder if she was overthinking it. Maybe He Yanqing really didn't see her. After all, she didn't see them at first either.
Song Xianle said with great regret: "Okay, I thought you saw me."
After saying this, he looked at He Yanqing with an emotion that was hard to tell whether it was pity or resentment.
The fiery gaze fell directly on He Yanqing's back, making him feel a heavy feeling as if he was leaning forward.
Was his feeling wrong? Why did he feel that Song Xianle was a little aggrieved at the moment?
Thinking of this, He Yanqing took advantage of the straight road with few vehicles and glanced at her.
He saw her eyes open, gleaming faintly. Her almond-shaped eyes, misty and full of spring water, appeared extremely soft and hazy. The irritation on her face made him immediately aware of her current mood.
He also discovered that Song Xianle now reveals his emotions more easily than before.
Song Xianle didn't expect He Yanqing to turn her head to look at her. Her expression that had not yet been retracted and her surprise were both shown on her face. Her misty eyes seemed to be illuminated by the sun at this moment, the white mist dissipated, and her previous clear gaze was restored.
He Yanqing was very surprised to see Song Xianle like this. While waiting at the traffic light, he patiently asked her, "What's wrong?"
His tone was no longer as polite and cold as before, and his face was no longer motionless except for his open mouth, and his other senses were no longer stationary.
The moment Song Xianle and He Yanqing locked eyes, the care and smile in his eyes drifted into hers, carried by the air currents. She seemed to see a gray world, now joined by something new: a lush green tree. It broke the grayness, adding a touch of color, no longer monotonous.
She thought, maybe He Yanqing still had feelings for her. Even if it was just a friendship between classmates, she would hold on to it.
It is not easy to gain the favor of others. It seems very simple to gain the favor of others, but in fact it requires your own heart.
"Nothing, just a little disappointed." Song Xianle pretended to look regretful and looked at He Yanqing who was looking at her incomprehensible.
He Yanqing was surprised by Song Xianle's frankness. He pondered the meaning of her words calmly, his eyelids drooping, staring motionlessly at the red light ahead.
"Why does Secretary Song feel lost?"
After the countdown, He Yanqing drove forward. He didn't know why Song Xianle said that, or he didn't know what Song Xianle was going to do next.
Song Xianle: Secretary Song? Just now, it was classmate Song.
Although she complained in her heart, her expression was calm and she smiled faintly, "Maybe it's because you didn't see me."
He Yanqing's originally natural expression suddenly changed.
What's the meaning?
This sentence goes a little beyond their current relationship as ordinary colleagues.
Seeing his expression suddenly change, Song Xianle added, "Director He, it was just a joke."
"After being abroad for so long, you've even learned to joke around," He Yanqing scoffed. He still couldn't fathom her thoughts, just like before. Perhaps this was her true character, though she'd never expressed it to him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Xianle wisely shut up and did not continue.
He Yanqing saw that the person next to him was silent, and reflected on what he had said just now to make her unhappy.
Once on the highway, the only sound in the car was the navigation system. He Yanqing didn't dwell on what he had just said and focused on driving.
About twenty minutes later, He Yanqing drove to the gate of Song Xianle's community.
"Thank you, Director He."
"You're welcome, Secretary Song." He Yanqing looked up at her and replied.
When getting out of the car, Song Xianle unbuckled his seat belt and said to He Yanqing, "By the way, remember our date this Saturday."
The girl's eyes twinkled like stars, but not really, because they seemed to have never dimmed.
Before He Yanqing could say anything, Song Xianle opened the car door and got out. She smiled at him and waved before leaving.
I was thinking of explaining the tone I used when speaking to her, but now she's gone.
He Yanqing opened WeChat and explained things to her clearly.
【My tone was off just now. I'm sorry.】
Thinking of the blue sleeveless miniskirt she was wearing, he typed another line: [Secretary Song, I have a business trip next Monday, please take care of yourself.]
Song Xianle saw these two messages on the way and laughed out loud. When she saw the last message, she looked at her skirt and found it was indeed a bit thin.
Song Xianle: [Okay, thank you Director He~]
She took a look and typed two words in the chat box and sent it: [Good night~]
He Yanqing: [Good night.]
After reading the message, He Yanqing stared at Song Xianle's profile picture thoughtfully.
Is there still a chance they can?
As soon as this absurd thought came to mind, He Yanqing felt even more at ease. Speaking of which, he hadn't met anyone he liked yet. Thinking of Tan Xian'er asking him to go on a blind date, he thought of Song Xianle. He had to admit, he still had some feelings for her. But after so much time had passed, He Yanqing still had no idea what she was thinking.
He didn't dare to offend her rashly, after all, it was she who proposed the breakup.
Song Xianle stepped onto the stairs, stood on top, looked towards the exit from afar, and then looked away.
If you have a follow-up with the person you want to meet, then you can believe that you are destined to be together.
If a god came tonight, it would light a guiding lamp for them to meet, just to lead the way for them alone.
So, let's bring them closer.
