Chapter 186 Equality
"I don't have such a high status, you think too much." Fu Xijing waved his hand.
Zhou Qisheng: "Listen to me first, then consider whether what I say makes sense."
Without waiting for Fu Xijing to respond, Zhou Qisheng continued, "What you said to her was indeed not easy from your perspective. I know it took you a long time to mentally prepare yourself before you could say it."
"But from her perspective, these are all unilateral notifications and arrangements from you. They're no different from how you used to get along. You just notified her, and canceling the agreement seems like charity, don't you think?"
Zhou Qisheng talked about "alms".
Fu Xijing narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered Song Yi's question.
He looked at Zhou Qisheng: "Is there something wrong with my expression?"
Zhou Qisheng: "You're used to being the one who holds the initiative. She used to cooperate with you, but now she doesn't want to cooperate with you anymore. She rejected you. Maybe she really doesn't like you that much anymore, but more because she finally has the power to reject you."
"I have never looked down on her." Fu Xijing said seriously.
"That's what you think," Zhou Qisheng said, "but you two weren't equal from the start. On that basis, maybe every casual word you said would be magnified by her."
"I haven't had much contact with her, but I can see that she is very sensitive. Haven't you noticed?" Zhou Qisheng asked sharply.
Fu Xijing crossed his fingers and fell into deep thought.
It’s not that he didn’t notice it, it’s just that he couldn’t find a solution.
A person's character cannot be changed overnight.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Fu Xijing asked Zhou Qisheng humbly.
Zhou Qisheng: "Don't pursue her for now. Don't push her too hard. Start by being ordinary friends with equal personalities."
Ordinary friends.
This is a huge challenge for Fu Xijing.
Being just ordinary friends means that he can no longer interfere with who she is with.
"So that's how you treated Xu Rushuang?" Jiang Budu listened carefully to Zhou Qisheng's words. "I didn't see you actually get her."
Zhou Qisheng: “…”
Chen Zheng: "What a bad idea! If I don't push her too hard, will I just watch her be with another man?"
Fu Xijing himself did not express his opinion, and the remaining two people opposed Zhou Qisheng's proposal.
Zhou Qisheng rubbed his brow and said to Shen Zheng, "Don't put yourself in his shoes."
"Cen Sixue has let you down, but Song Yi has never let him down. You and Ajing have different problems to solve."
——
late at night.
Song Yi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and the events in the lounge kept replaying in his mind.
Back then, she had naively fantasized about Fu Xijing "confessing" his love to her, but when that day really came, she no longer had the excitement she had in her early twenties.
There was surprise.
After the surprise, there was more irony.
Fu Xijing must have been accustomed to giving orders in front of her, and even these words sounded like commands and notices.
She seemed to have no other choice but to accept it.
Especially when he used her soft-heartedness as evidence.
Song Yi thought that someone like Fu Xijing would probably never learn to communicate with her on an equal footing in his entire life.
They were not suitable, and she didn't think she had the ability to change a person.
Cutting off all ties is the best option.
Song Yi kept thinking about this matter before going to bed, and had another dream at night.
In her dream, she returned to Rome, where she had been with Fu Xijing for almost half a year.
He was working overtime in the study, and she had already taken a nap, but he hadn't come back yet.
So she tiptoed out of bed, heated a cup of milk for him, and planned to take it to the study.
As she knocked on the door, she called out "Mr. Fu".
Then, Fu Xijing opened the door while answering the phone.
Song Yi saw him answering the phone and immediately apologized.
But he shook his head to indicate that it was okay, took the milk and pointed towards the door, indicating that she should go first.
Song Yi left quickly for fear of disturbing him at work.
After returning to the room, she was still very upset and couldn't fall asleep even after closing her eyes.
I don't know how long it was before I heard the door open.
Song Yi immediately pretended to sleep.
Someone soon lay down next to him. After Fu Xijing sat down, he was still looking at his mobile phone. I don’t know if he was handling follow-up work.
Then his cell phone rang again.
He didn't go out, but answered the phone directly next to him.
Song Yi heard a man's voice over there and asked him: "Is that woman really the nanny? You are lying to me. Do you have a girlfriend?"
He said coldly: No, just a nanny.
Then the person on the other end asked him: "Whose nanny is still working in the middle of the night? Isn't she working in your bed?"
Fu Xijing said: The salary is enough, it doesn’t matter where I work.
…
When he woke up from his dream, Song Yi's hands were tightly clutching the quilt, and he was covered in cold sweat.
It was still dark outside, just after four o'clock.
Song Yi took a deep breath, turned on the bedside lamp, and sat up hugging his knees.
She buried her head in her knees, still not coming out of her dream.
At that time, she was really naive and wanted to gain Fu Xijing's respect.
Because he was really good to her. He would bring her gifts when he was on business trips, accompany her to the supermarket, and take her out to relax and find ideas when she couldn't write her thesis.
In the first few months, she really had the illusion that they were in love.
She even wondered whether to tell him that she liked him.
She is also trying to do better, care about him and be considerate of him.
That's why I went to deliver milk to him when he was working late at night.
It was not until she heard Fu Xijing's words that she realized how stupid her previous thoughts were.
Later, Song Yi was unwilling to recall those two years for a long time, because whenever she thought about it, she would despise herself.
No one wants to be a love-brained person who is led by a man.
So, even though Fu Xijing said he wanted to keep her for another two years, she still left.
She returned to North City, found a new job, and later got a boyfriend. She had a new circle of friends and no longer needed to revolve around him every day.
She also gradually regained herself and her sanity - when he was not around, she was actually still a rational person.
There was no need to pretend and endure all the time. Although she was financially tight at the beginning, she enjoyed the feeling of regaining her subjectivity.
But he appeared again.
She knew that Fu Xijing had helped her a lot during the year they met again.
Song Lansheng's surgery, and Xu Shengwen.
She was grateful to him, but this also meant that they could not get along as equals.
Song Yi was in a state of confusion and it was not suitable for her to stay at home.
She picked up her phone and sent a message in the group, inviting Ying Xing and Tang Qing out for dinner.
Ying Xing replied immediately: [You also have insomnia? ]
Song Yi: [Um, you too?]
Ying Xing: [Come to my house first! ]
Song Yi glanced at the sky outside which was gradually getting brighter, put down his phone and went outside to wash up.
She opened the door quietly and met Jiang Jiang sitting on the sofa in the living room as soon as she went out.
Song Yi was startled, "...Dad?"
Jiang Jiang: "Why are you up so early? Didn't you sleep well?"
Song Yi said "Uh", "I made an appointment with a friend to go out and play, I'm going to find her now."
"Why are you up so early?" Song Yi glanced at the time. It was only five twenty-five.
Jiang Jiang waved his hand and said, "I came out to answer the phone. I'm afraid I'll wake up your mother."
