Chapter 142 Do You Like Me?
Fu Qingyun: "Your attitude is wrong. If you survive a great disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. You are only in your early fifties, you still have a long way to live."
He changed the subject and said, "You should find a companion to accompany you. How about I introduce you to one?"
Jiang Jiang frowned as he listened to Fu Qingyun's uncharacteristic remarks.
Fu Qingyun: "I'm just kidding."
Jiang Jiang: “…” He has become more and more lively recently and even makes jokes.
Fu Qingyun: "Seeing that you are in a bad mood, I am just teasing you."
Jiang Jiang: "I'm not in a bad mood."
Fu Qingyun: "Really, I don't need to introduce you? It's so nice to have a companion by your side."
Jiang Jiang: “No need.”
Fu Qingyun: "You haven't looked for her for so many years, what do you think?"
"Aren't you envious of your friends who have children?" Fu Qingyun pointed at Fu Xijing.
Jiang Jiang glanced towards Fu Xijing, and as if thinking of something, a smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.
Fu Qingyun found it strange. Jiang Jiang had always had a cold and hard personality, and it was rare to see him smile so gently in all the years they had known each other.
No wonder Fu Xijing noticed something from the way he looked at Song Yi. It was too obvious.
Obviously, when Jiang Jiang showed this expression, he was thinking of his daughter whom he had not yet recognized.
——
On Sunday evening, when Song Yi was preparing dinner, Jiang Yuxu came back.
Jiang Yuxu looked very tired. Song Yi saw him walk into the kitchen and could feel his stress from a few meters away.
Song Yi asked with concern: "Is work not going well?"
"I've encountered a little problem." Jiang Yuxu didn't elaborate on what the problem was, but glanced at the island counter. "What are we having for dinner?"
"Ah, blanched lettuce, shrimp and tofu soup, and black pepper beef, is that okay?" Because Jiang Yuxu had a lighter taste, the dinner prepared by Song Yi was also based on his preferences.
Song Yi is a very careful person. When interacting with others, she pays more attention to their preferences. So after this period of time, she has almost figured out Jiang Yuxu's taste.
"Sure." Jiang Yuxu nodded. "When will you be back?"
Song Yi: "Four o'clock."
Jiang Yuxu said "hmm", "I'll go take a shower first."
…
Jiang Yuxu took a shower and changed into a set of sportswear.
When he came to the kitchen again, Song Yi had already served the rice and prepared the tableware.
One meat dish, one vegetable dish, and a pot of soup are more than enough for two people.
Simple yet nutritious.
Objectively speaking, Song Yi's cooking skills cannot be considered very sophisticated, they are probably just around the average level.
But Jiang Yuxu really likes the food she cooks, probably because of the filter.
While Jiang Yuxu was eating, all he could think about was how to reveal his identity to Song Yi as soon as possible and make her accept it.
Song Yi was struggling with whether or not to hand the necklace over to Jiang Yuxu. If so, how should he explain to him how he got the necklace back from Fu Xijing?
The two people had their own thoughts, and after more than ten minutes, no one spoke.
Finally, it was Song Yi who spoke first.
She tentatively asked Jiang Yuxu: "Has there been any progress on that matter?"
Jiang Yuxu raised his eyes to look at Song Yi, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Some."
"Really? Where is he?" Song Yi's voice rose unconsciously and his eyes lit up.
Jiang Yuxu first saw expectation in her eyes, and then the light gradually dimmed.
Jiang Yuxu observed her expression and answered irrelevantly: "Do you want to see him?"
Song Yi: “…”
Jiang Yuxu: "Perhaps, you should first think about what to do after you find him."
"For example, will you meet him first, or will you arrange for your aunt to meet him first? For another example, do you want to live together in the future—"
"He should have his own family, right?" Song Yi pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "Have you found out about this?"
"According to the information we have found so far, he is a single person," said Jiang Yuxu.
Song Yi gripped the edge of the dining table and didn't respond.
Jiang Yuxu saw her white knuckles, perhaps because of excitement or disbelief.
After several minutes, she asked, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Yuxu nodded, then asked her, "Have you ever thought that he didn't abandon you and your daughter on purpose?"
Song Yi's fingers gripped tighter and tighter, his throat felt sore, and he tried to keep his voice calm: "I haven't thought about it."
She didn't like making such rosy assumptions.
Unless he is really in danger of his life or trapped by the circumstances, no reason is worthy of forgiveness.
"If he had no choice, could you understand?" Jiang Yuxu asked.
Song Yi lowered his head again, "I don't want to think about this now, let's talk about it when I see him."
Jiang Yuxu: "Okay."
Then the two continued to eat quietly.
After dinner, Song Yi cleared the table as usual.
As she was wiping the table with wet wipes, Jiang Yuxu suddenly asked her, "Song Yi, what do you think of me?"
Song Yi stopped what he was doing and looked at him with some confusion.
She didn't understand the question.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Jiang Yuxu changed his tone and asked, "Do you like me?"
The wet wipes in Song Yi's hand fell and his pupils trembled.
What is...the problem?
Although she had considered this possibility before, she never thought that Jiang Yuxu would ask her so directly. Her mind was in a mess now. She hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.
Jiang Yuxu waited for a while, "Don't you like it?"
"No, no." Song Yi shook his head and denied it. "I am very grateful for your help and I respect you very much. You are a mentor and friend to me."
"Apart from being a mentor and helpful friend, is there no other definition of your identity?" Jiang Yuxu asked.
Song Yi was practically sweating profusely: "What do you mean by other?"
"Forget it, it's nothing." Seeing how nervous Song Yi was, Jiang Yuxu didn't want to put more pressure on her. "I'll go back to my room first. You should get some rest too."
Song Yi watched Jiang Yuxu walk out of the restaurant, his palms already soaked with sweat.
Thinking of the questions Jiang Yuxu had just asked, Song Yi shuddered.
She probably didn't misunderstand.
Is Jiang Yuxu really interested in her...?
Song Yi really couldn't figure it out, so after cleaning up the kitchen, he returned to his room.
She took a shower, picked up her phone, and told Ying Xing and Tang Qing what had just happened in the WeChat group.
Ying Xing: [I told him he definitely likes you! He was trying to use a trick of first praising and then criticizing, and now he can't hold his temper anymore.]
Tang Qing: [Like a confession.]
Song Yi: [……]
Ying Xing: [Why don't you talk to him? You don't have to get married. Having him before is not bad either. He's a top-notch guy anyway.]
Song Yi: [No, I don’t like him.]
Tang Qing: [Then you want to refuse? ]
Song Yi: [I'll talk to him clearly tomorrow and then move out.]
Tang Qing: [Didn’t he help you find someone?]
When Song Yi thought about this, he felt even more headache and turned over in bed.
Jiang Yuxu said that they were almost finding the person, and she should have waited a little longer.
But her conscience was troubled.
She already owed Jiang Yuxu enough, and now that she knew he had this idea, she felt even more pressured.
