Chapter 168: Men Need to Soften
Fu Xijing knew that his image in Song Yi's heart had never been very good.
But he didn't expect it to be this bad.
He admitted that he was indeed worried after learning about Song Yi's identity, but he was not worried that she would be out of control.
Or rather, he had been worried for a long time.
Before, he went to see Song Lansheng privately, helped her with some small things at home, and chatted with her, all in order to make Song Lansheng have a better impression of him.
What happened in Rome back then could not be kept secret forever.
He did all this because he thought that Song Lansheng would not kick him out after knowing what happened that year.
This is also the reason why he "performed" in front of Jiang Yuxu.
But Song Yi interpreted it as "seeking benefits and avoiding harm."
After taking a shower, Fu Xijing still looked gloomy.
He opened a bottle of ice water, sat on the sofa, tilted his head back and drank half of it.
Just after I finished drinking the water, I received a message from Fu Xiao saying that Miki and the others had been sent back.
Fu Xijing replied with an "hmm", exited the dialog box, and saw the message Jiang Budu sent ten minutes ago.
Jiang Budu: [How was your day? Did you meet anyone? Did you find a chance to talk?]
Fu Xijing: [What kind of person do you think I am?]
Jiang Budu: [? ]
Jiang Budu: [Why are you suddenly thinking about life? ]
Without waiting for Fu Xijing to reply, Jiang Budu directly made a voice call.
Fu Xijing pressed the answer button and put the phone on the armrest.
Jiang Budu's voice came from the loudspeaker: "What's going on, my President Fu?"
Fu Xijing: "Do you think I'm snobbish?"
Jiang Budu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly realized something: "Did Song Yi say that to you?"
Fu Xijing: "What do you think?"
Jiang Budu: "My opinion is not important. You need to find out why Song Yi said that."
Fu Xijing: "She thinks I helped her mother get the DNA test report to show my favor to the Jiang family so that they can repay me in the future."
Jiang Budu: "Did she say that herself? What's the reason?"
He didn't quite believe that Song Yi would say such harsh words for no reason.
Fu Xijing helped Song Lansheng do these things, but any sensible person would not associate it with that level.
Jiang Budu guessed: "You must have provoked her, right?"
Fu Xijing: "Did Song Yi drug you?"
Jiang Budu: "... no buddy, could you please stop being jealous? It makes me not want to talk to you anymore."
Fu Xijing was silent.
Jiang Budu: "Just tell her you're helping her because you like her, and that's it. I'm impressed you took so long to solve something that could be solved with just your mouth."
Fu Xijing sneered, "Are you sure if I tell her now, she won't think I'm trying to gain benefits by marrying into the Jiang family?"
Jiang Budu: "..."
Judging from how nervous they are right now, it's really possible: "Why don't you calm down for a while and let her calm down too."
Fu Xijing: "And then let her develop a relationship with Biancheng?"
Jiang Budu: "Then go confess your feelings and tell her directly that you want to pursue her - that's useless, isn't it? Even if you say it with a serious face, Song Yi might still agree to it if she's angry now."
Although Jiang Budu was telling the truth, it was undoubtedly a knife piercing Fu Xijing's lungs.
Fu Xijing blurted out the word "get out".
Jiang Budu sighed, "Look how angry I am."
"You're too hard. This isn't good. A man should be soft when he needs to be. Only by showing weakness can people feel sorry for him. Do you understand?" Jiang Budu taught Fu Xijing earnestly.
Fu Xijing: "Stop giving bad advice."
Jiang Budu: "Okay, okay, you are tough. Don't cry to me when Song Yizhen gets married to Biancheng. Goodbye!"
This time, it was Jiang Budu who hung up the phone.
Fu Xijing leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and Jiang Budu's words were still echoing in his ears.
To be soft is to show weakness.
This is definitely not his area of expertise.
Fu Xijing leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed and thought for a long time, when suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
He opened his eyes and picked up the phone again.
——
Before starting work, Song Yi, Ying Xing and Tang Qing made an appointment for a hotpot meal.
As soon as the three of them met, Ying Xing couldn't wait to ask about Song Yi and Bian Cheng's progress: "How is it? Have you tried it? What's the experience like?"
Song Yi was helpless when asked by Ying Xing, "He and I are just friends now."
Ying Xing: "Why are you still just friends? Don't you get along well?"
"We get along well, but there's no other feeling." Song Yi thought about Bian Cheng's attitude, "He probably doesn't have that kind of feeling towards me either."
"Just think of it as making another friend. He'll be back in the army tomorrow."
The feelings between people are also a kind of metaphysics. Bian Cheng's personality and style are in line with Song Yi's standards for choosing a partner, but after a few days of getting along, she did not feel that they had that kind of hormonal collision.
Of course, this didn’t happen with Xu Shengwen before, it’s just that her thoughts have changed.
Ying Xing felt somewhat regretful when he heard Song Yi say this.
Tang Qing said, "Don't worry. There will be opportunities to cultivate feelings in the future. Maybe you will fall in love with me over time."
Ying Xing: "That has to happen first."
Song Yi almost couldn't catch his breath and glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense in public."
Ying Xing: "Really, once the desire is satisfied, the feeling will come. You should try more and don't hang yourself on one tree."
Speaking of that tree.
Tang Qing looked at Song Yi and asked casually, "Have you met recently?"
Song Yi nodded, "I've seen him a few times."
Tang Qing: "He looked for you?"
Seeing Song Yi's unnatural reaction, Tang Qing had already guessed something.
"Maybe he got angry with Miki's mother, so he can't bear to see me live a good life." Song Yi thought of the two unpleasant arguments and took a sip of sour plum soup. "Let's not talk about him anymore."
Song Yi clearly said that she didn't want to talk about this topic, so Tang Qing and Ying Xing naturally wouldn't continue pursuing her.
The three of them ate hot pot and talked about other things. The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.
When they were halfway through the meal, an unexpected guest arrived at the table - Jiang Budu.
Jiang Budu sat down next to Tang Qing without paying any attention to the surprised expressions of the three people. He waved his hand and asked the waiter to bring a set of tableware.
After the waiter brought the tableware, Jiang Budu said with a smile, "I just happened to be craving hot pot today. What a coincidence."
Ying Xing: "You are so kind."
Jiang Budu: "This meal is on me."
Ying Xing picked up his phone and scanned the code, added a few more plates of meat, and ordered a few desserts.
Tang Qing was also surprised, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Budu leaned closer to her and smiled, his peach blossom eyes filled with affection, "Of course it's because I miss you."
When Song Yi heard this, he got goosebumps out of embarrassment.
Ying Xing rolled his eyes rudely.
On the other hand, Tang Qing himself did not show any emotion and seemed to be accustomed to Jiang Budu's speaking style.
This meal was eaten by four people instead of three.
Fortunately, Song Yi was familiar with Jiang Budu, so he didn't feel awkward having dinner with him.
After the show, Song Yi was about to take a taxi back, but Jiang Budu stopped her and said, "Let me take you there. I have something to talk to you about."
