Episode 187: Cheers to Your Hardness
"Let me cook you a bowl of noodles." Song Yi turned and went to the kitchen.
Jiang Jiang stopped her: "No, I'm not hungry yet. When your mother gets up, eat with her."
Song Yi: "Okay."
I thought the topic was over, but Jiang Jiang suddenly said, "Your mother is very worried about your marriage. How are you feeling in Border Town?"
"Very good." Song Yi had already decided to give Bian Cheng a formal try yesterday. Seeing Jiang Jiang asking about it, he told him directly: "I will talk to him when he comes back next time."
"Have you thought it through?" Jiang Jiang asked.
Song Yi nodded. "He has a good character, and my father is your comrade-in-arms. He knows everything about you. Mom will be relieved if I stay with him."
"What about you?" Jiang Jiang looked at her. "Putting aside these factors, do you have a good impression of him?"
"Feelings can be cultivated slowly." Jiang Jiang's gaze was too sharp. Being looked at by him like this, Song Yi couldn't even say a word against his will.
"Don't force yourself." Jiang Jiang comforted her and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"
"...I did before, but we weren't suitable." Song Yi replied ambiguously, "It's hard to find someone who likes each other and has a compatible personality, so it's not bad to find someone who is suitable."
Jiang Jiang nodded, as if he had listened to her words, "I watched Bian Cheng grow up, his character and personality are impeccable, so you two can get along with each other first."
Song Yi: "Okay, Dad, I'll go first."
The conversation with Jiang Jiang was quite stressful. She was afraid that she would be exposed if she said a few more words, so she left quickly.
A few minutes after Song Yi left, Song Lansheng also got up.
She walked out and looked around the living room, "Did Xiaoyi go out just now? I thought I heard the door close."
Jiang Jiang said "hmm", "She made an appointment with a friend."
Song Lansheng: "So early..."
Jiang Jiang: "Xiaoyi looks like she's worried. Find some time to talk to her."
——
Song Yi took a taxi to Yingxing's community and packed two servings of shengjian (stir-fried dumplings) and two cups of soy milk at the breakfast shop at the door.
Ying Xing opened the door and was shocked to see Song Yi with dark circles under his eyes. "How come your insomnia is even more serious than mine? Did you not sleep all night?"
Song Yi: "Is it that serious?"
"Look at yourself in the mirror. You have dark circles and red bloodshot eyes. If you let your hair down, you can look like a ghost and scare people." Ying Xing took the package from Song Yi. "What's going on? Are you in a bad mood?"
Song Yi changed into slippers and did not deny: "I had a nightmare."
Ying Xing didn't ask any further questions on the spot. He waited for Song Yi to change into slippers and then took him to the restaurant.
Ying Xing opened the soy milk for Song Yi and pushed it over before asking her, "What nightmare did you have?"
Song Yi pinched the paper cup, pursed his lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "I dreamed about Italy."
Ying Xing paused with his chopsticks and, seeing Song Yi's reaction, guessed almost exactly: "Fu Xijing?"
Song Yi nodded and took a deep breath.
Then, she told Yingxing her decision: "I plan to be with Biancheng."
Ying Xing: “?!”
Although she had always supported Song Yi and Bian Cheng to give it a try, Song Yi had been making excuses before.
"What's irritating you?" Ying Xing looked at Song Yi suspiciously. "Did Fu Xijing harass you?"
Ying Xing could only think of Fu Xijing as the reason why Song Yi changed his mind so quickly. "Did he threaten you again? With an agreement?"
Song Yi shook his head, "No."
"I'm just fed up and don't want to give myself room for random thoughts." She didn't say what happened. "Maybe I haven't seen enough men. If I see more, I won't be like this anymore."
"That makes sense," Ying Xing nodded in agreement. "So what did Fu Xijing do?"
"He said he wanted to pursue me." Song Yi curled his lips.
Ying Xing: “…Ah?”
Fu Xijing said he wanted to pursue her, isn't that a confession of love to her? It's understandable that Song Yi didn't accept it, but why did she decide to be with Bian Cheng just because of his confession?
"You don't believe he likes you?" Ying Xing guessed.
"Whether he likes me or not is not the point anymore, but I don't like how I feel when I'm with him." Song Yi lowered his head and looked at the pan-fried buns on the plate. "I don't want to be worried and have wild thoughts because of his words anymore."
"Besides wanting to pursue you, what else did Fu Xijing say?" Ying Xing asked again.
Song Yi: "He destroyed the agreement."
Ying Xing: "Well, this is a good thing, you should be happy."
"Yeah, I should be happy." Song Yi laughed at himself, "I think I should be happy too."
Ying Xing narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Yi, not understanding why she had these emotions.
A few minutes later, Song Yi muttered to himself again: "Anyway, no matter what he gives me, I have no choice but to accept it."
Ying Xing was enlightened.
It’s true.
Fu Xijing and Song Yi had an unequal relationship from the beginning, and Fu Xijing had long been accustomed to it. He perhaps didn't even think there was anything wrong with him.
But Song Yi has always been under a lot of pressure, and she is also very sensitive. Now Fu Xijing is like this...
Ying Xing could almost imagine the tone Fu Xijing used when speaking to Song Yi. Whether he was saying he wanted to pursue her or destroying the agreement, he was informing her.
No wonder Song Yi cares.
"Next time you feel unhappy when you hear him talk like this, just tell him directly, don't keep it to yourself." Ying Xing reminded Song Yi.
"There won't be a next time." Song Yi shook his head.
She said it so decisively. If Fu Xijing still looked for her, he would no longer be him.
Song Yi told Ying Xing that she rejected him, and also mentioned Fu Xijing's words that she was soft-hearted.
And he was beaten by Jiang Yuxu.
Combining these things, Ying Xing could better understand Song Yi's psychological activities.
But Fu Xijing should be confused.
He and Song Yi are not the same kind of people, and their thinking patterns are destined to be different. He may not understand Song Yi's sensitivity.
But as Tang Qing said, if Fu Xijing wants to be with Song Yi, understanding her is a basic condition.
Song Yi's reaction sounded a bit exaggerated, but considering her past experience with Fu Xijing, it was easy to understand.
She has always been the passive party in this relationship. Fu Xijing is the one in power. He has long been accustomed to that position and will not be willing to give up the dominant power.
Song Yi rejected him, actually reminding him.
She had another option.
She doesn't have to cooperate with him every time.
"That's right, cheers to your toughness." Ying Xing picked up the soy milk and clinked it with Song Yi.
Song Yi: "I thought you would dislike my pretentiousness."
Because she herself felt that this behavior was very pretentious and twisted.
Ying Xing: "How is this hypocritical? After being oppressed for so many years, you're not allowed to resist?"
She snorted, "You allow him to get angry and give orders at every turn, but you are not allowed to go back? If you ask me, you should have done it a long time ago. He spoiled you!"
Song Yi lowered his eyes, unable to refute.
Ying Xing was right. Fu Xijing was like this because she was used to being submissive.
"Forget it, forget about him." Ying Xing said, "Just talk to the new man happily, enjoy the new body, and experience a different **——"
Song Yi's mouthful of pan-fried bun got stuck in his throat and his face turned red.
