Chapter 297 Friends
It was hard to imagine that one day she would sit face to face with Fu Xijing and talk about their new relationship.
In Song Yi's opinion, this was impossible. First, it was impossible for her to become friends with Fu Xijing. Second, it was impossible for Fu Xijing to calmly accept her being "with" another man.
But such a situation that she could never have dreamed of was actually happening in her world at this moment.
Song Yi was silent for a long time because of this question. He forgot to take his eyes off Fu Xijing's face.
Fu Xijing saw her thoughts from her expression and asked with a smile, "Are you surprised?"
Song Yi came back to his senses and told the truth: "I'm really surprised. I didn't expect we could talk about this."
Fu Xijing: "Since we are friends now, why can't we talk about this?"
Song Yi choked and didn't know how to answer.
Fu Xijing: "You think we are not friends?"
Song Yi: "I don't think so."
"That's it." Fu Xijing smiled, "You can talk to me about whatever you usually talk about with Tang Qing and Ying Xing."
Song Yi nodded. Although she was not used to it, Fu Xijing's attitude was very calm and sincere. It seemed that he really wanted to be friends with her.
He has changed a lot - why not try to get along with him as friends first.
In fact, the problem between them is already very clear, that is, they have never gotten along with each other on an equal footing.
Both of them have their reasons.
Because of what happened in Rome, Song Yi always felt that she was inferior to Fu Xijing. In addition to his personality and temper, she never dared to dream of communicating with him on an equal footing.
When they met again later, he used threats and bribes, and she was completely powerless to fight back.
The two chatted for a few minutes, and then the waiter came to serve the dishes.
After picking up his chopsticks, Fu Xijing took the initiative to start a conversation: "I went to your parents' house a few days ago."
Song Yi paused while picking up the chopsticks.
She didn't know about this yet. Neither Song Lansheng nor Jiang Jiang mentioned it to her.
But it is conceivable that Fu Xijing did not gain any benefits——
"You look like you're worried I'll be kicked out?" Fu Xijing joked, then said seriously, "Don't worry, I wasn't kicked out and I even stayed for lunch."
Song Yi was quite surprised to hear this, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Although Jiang Jiang and Song Lansheng were angry about her being "bullied" by Fu Xijing, they were not the kind of people who couldn't tell right from wrong.
They blamed themselves more for what happened in Rome.
Objectively speaking, meeting Fu Xijing under those circumstances was a blessing in disguise. At least he never treated her unfairly financially. Although he had a bad temper, he had no bad habits and had never abused her.
Although Fu Xijing threatened her later, he did help Song Lansheng perform the surgery in time.
The two elders were more worried that she would be wronged when getting along with Fu Xijing - their personalities were too different, and what happened between Fu Xijing and Xu Rushuang was known to everyone.
Jiang Jiang also discussed these points with Song Yi.
He didn't absolutely forbid her from being with Fu Xijing, but he just said that if Fu Xijing didn't change, there would be various problems even if they were together.
But the change cannot be something they demand. Fu Xijing himself must truly realize the problem and change from the inside out.
Instead of using this as a means to be with her.
However, as a father, he still hopes that Song Yi can have more contact with other opposite sexes and enrich his experience, so that he may not end up hanging himself on a tree.
So he agreed to the Gu family's request to visit them.
Song Yi understood Jiang Jiang and Song Lansheng's intentions very well, and she also wanted to see what Fu Xijing would do next.
He had previously vowed that he would never let go no matter what happened. Was it true, or was it just a rhetoric to coax her?
And he also said that if she met someone she liked, he would not ruin their relationship.
Song Yi was silent for several minutes, and was finally drawn back to his attention by Fu Xijing pouring juice.
She said "thank you", picked up the juice and took a sip, then said to him solemnly: "Thank you very much for my mother's surgery."
Fu Xijing: "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
Song Yi: "It just suddenly occurred to me that I haven't thanked you formally yet."
Fu Xijing: "Okay, then I accept. You treat me to dinner today."
Song Yi nodded: "No problem."
She put down the cup and looked at Fu Xijing's face, thoughtfully.
Fu Xijing: "If you have any questions, you can ask directly."
Song Yi: "That's not a problem."
She directly expressed her true thoughts, "I was just thinking that you actually have a high emotional intelligence, but I just haven't seen this side of you before."
Just like the reply he just gave, it was just right.
At least Song Yi felt comfortable hearing that - he didn't say anything like "you're welcome", but accepted it first and then made a small request, which was the perfect response.
Song Yi didn't mean to complain, but Fu Xijing felt a little dry in his throat after hearing it.
"Then I'll show more in the future." Fu Xijing forced a smile and raised his glass to clink with hers.
After this topic passed, Fu Xijing took the initiative to turn the subject back to Gu Zhongzhou, "Is Gu Zhongzhou celebrating your birthday today?"
Song Yi: "It's not convenient today on a weekday, so I'll postpone my birthday to the weekend."
Fu Xijing nodded without commenting, "Living alone with him? Where are your parents?"
Song Yi: "I'll spend Saturday with my parents, and Sunday with him and his friends."
"Friends." Fu Xijing repeated the word, "You mean those two good friends of yours?"
Song Yi said "hmm", and then heard Fu Xijing laugh.
"You celebrated your birthday with your boyfriend and brought two light bulbs. Does he have any objection?" Fu Xijing asked teasingly.
Song Yi immediately understood why Fu Xijing asked that. She pouted and couldn't help but retort, "He's not you."
Fu Xijing: "..."
Seeing that he was choked and unable to speak, it was Song Yi's turn to laugh.
But she just smiled briefly and then picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Later, the two did not continue this topic, but talked about the professional title thesis. Fu Xijing happened to have some knowledge of the market research data that Song Yi wanted to use in his thesis, and the two talked about this for the whole meal.
Song Yi treated us to this meal, and after the meal, the two of them walked back.
Unprecedented harmony.
This was the first time that Song Yi put aside his grudges and talked and walked with Fu Xijing like this, and the experience was quite good.
He is actually very good at chatting. Just like just now, even when talking about the areas he is good at, he never sounded preachy. He spoke leisurely and easily got people into the mood.
——
Song Yi didn't expect that Gu Zhongzhou would come to pick her up from get off work.
At five o'clock, Song Yi had just saved the information he had sorted out today when he received a call from Gu Zhongzhou.
At that time, Fu Xijing had just returned from an open class.
As soon as he entered the office, he heard Song Yi's surprised voice: "You are downstairs in the first teaching building? Which door?"
"I'm here, are you waiting for me to come down?"
"...You've come up already? Oh, on the third floor."
