Episode 240: The Old Story Replayed
After dinner, Fu Xijing and Zhou Qisheng sent Liang Lixia back to her residence.
Liang Lixia lives in an apartment near Jiangcheng University Town. The property was newly built in the past two years and is a well-known high-end property in Jiangcheng.
Liang Lixia said that the house here was arranged for her by Biancheng.
Fu Xijing and Zhou Qisheng dropped Liang Lixia off at the gate of the community and left.
Fu Xijing was driving, and Zhou Qisheng was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at his profile. "This matter may be more serious than we thought."
Fu Xijing chuckled.
It's nothing more than that they have feelings but have many concerns and don't want to face them, so they try to find a girlfriend or get married as soon as possible.
Not only did Liang Lixia’s thoughts end, but my own thoughts as well.
"Indecisive." Fu Xijing commented.
Zhou Qisheng: "It's normal to think too much about this kind of thing. Biancheng is more than nine years older than her, and she has her brother's relationship..."
Fu Xijing listened to Zhou Qisheng's analysis for a long time before saying, "You really feel the same way."
Zhou Qisheng immediately understood what he meant and choked.
Fu Xijing: "I will talk to Xu Rushuang about Miki when she comes back. You should be prepared."
Zhou Qisheng pursed his lips and nodded.
Fu Xijing: "Just because you didn't tell her something doesn't mean she doesn't know. Xu Rushuang has enjoyed herself for so many years, it's time for her to take responsibility."
Zhou Qisheng: "I don't want to force her."
Fu Xijing scoffed, "Okay, ninja."
Zhou Qisheng was silent for a long time. When he spoke again, he calmly changed the subject: "When do you think Liang Lixia will contact you?"
Fu Xijing tightened his grip on the steering wheel and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Within three days?"
——
Fu Xijing didn't come to school for seven or eight consecutive weekdays, and there was also a weekend in between.
During the days he was away, Song Yi had a very quiet life and had made up for the classes he had taken during his sick leave.
On Wednesday, Song Yi had no classes all day, so he went to the airport to pick up Ying Xing who was on a business trip.
It just so happened that Song Yi also wanted to talk to her about the border town and ask her what she thought.
Breaking up was certain, but Song Yi hadn't figured out how to start the conversation.
Ying Xing's flight landed at around 11 o'clock, and Song Yi arrived at the airport at 10:30. There was no traffic jam on the road, so she arrived a little early.
Song Yi took a look at the flight information and decided to go upstairs for a cup of coffee first.
She unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. When she was about to walk towards the elevator, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Jian Rui?
There was a car parked in front of Song Yi. She saw Jian Rui through the gap. He was not far away, but Jian Rui didn't look over here.
Song Yi not only saw Jian Rui, but also saw a woman with him.
Judging from his figure, he is not very old and is still a student.
Maybe it’s a relative of the family, Song Yi thought.
However, just a few seconds after this thought came to her mind, she suddenly heard Jian Rui say, "Mr. Fu has already arranged accommodation for you. The school will have to wait for more than half a month. You can stay here first. He will come to see you when he is free."
Song Yi paused for a moment, frowned, and his gaze fell on the woman's figure again.
Song Yi could no longer hear what Jian Rui talked to her about later.
I just saw Jian Rui opening the car door for her and putting her suitcase in the car, and then the Cayenne drove away.
Song Yi recognized the car, after all, she had ridden in it countless times.
Jian Rui had taken Fu Xijing's orders and handled her affairs many times before.
Song Yi watched the Cayenne drive away, and Jian Rui's words just replayed in his mind.
——Mr. Fu has already arranged accommodation for you.
——We still have to wait at the school.
——He will come to find you when he is free.
She was too familiar with these wordings and plots.
Wasn't that what happened when she was in Rome?
But at that time it was not Jian Rui, it was arranged by him personally.
He took her to his villa in Rome and told her that she would live there from now on and he would pay for her school tuition.
He also gave her a card to use for her daily expenses.
She asked cautiously: What about you?
His answer at that time was: I will come to you if I need you.
But later she found out that Fu Xijing said that on purpose to tease her, because he had been living there ever since.
Thinking of the past, Song Yi felt a tightness in his chest and kept breathing.
So... it's the same old story all over again?
No, the protagonist has changed.
Song Yi didn't want to make malicious assumptions about anyone, but Jian Rui's personal presence at the airport, coupled with his words, made it clear as day.
Song Yi thought of Fu Xijing's persistence in pestering her a few days ago and the words "I want to pursue you", and curled the corners of her mouth sarcastically.
She patted her cheeks, mocking herself for her wishful thinking.
After so many years, why do I still take every word of his so seriously?
He was just teasing her because he was in a good mood, but she was actually shaken by his abnormal behavior in the past few days.
It's really ridiculous.
Song Yi's face turned cold, and he walked quickly towards the elevator with the car keys.
The elevator stopped at the arrival hall. Song Yi walked into Starbucks with an expressionless face and ordered an American coffee, drinking half of it in one breath.
A sour and bitter taste permeates the entire mouth.
——
At ten past eleven, Ying Xing met Song Yi who was waiting at the airport with his suitcase.
As soon as they met, Ying Xing hugged Song Yi enthusiastically, "Oh my, I missed you so much, baby. Let's go have hot pot for lunch today."
Song Yi's mood was affected by the chance encounter just now. Facing Ying Xing's hug, he forced a smile with a listless look.
Ying Xing quickly noticed that something was wrong with Song Yi, and walked out with her in his arms, "What's wrong? Who affected your mood?"
Song Yi shook his head and said, "Let's talk on the way. I just have something I want to ask you."
The two took the elevator to the basement, and Ying Xing sat in the passenger seat.
As soon as the car drove out of the parking lot, Ying Xing asked her: "What do you want to ask me?"
Song Yi pursed his lips, looked ahead, and whispered, "I plan to break up with Bian Cheng."
"What?!" Ying Xing raised his voice, "Why?"
Song Yi: "After trying for so long, I still don't feel anything. We don't seem to be in a relationship. I don't want to delay him anymore."
"It's only been a short time, less than a year." Ying Xing didn't think this was a waste of time.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Song Yi, and suddenly thought of something: "Is Fu Xijing up to something again?"
When Song Yi was sick and hospitalized, Fu Xijing seemed to have visited him several times.
Song Yi never mentioned this matter, Ying Xing learned about it from Song Lansheng.
But Ying Xing knew that Fu Xijing was a visiting professor at the University of Economics and Business and that he and Song Yi shared a separate office.
Whenever Song Yi showed any abnormal behavior, he would definitely think that Fu Xijing was causing trouble again: "Did he harass you? Or did he threaten you again?"
"It's not entirely because of him," Song Yi said. "I just feel that I should take care of my own affairs before falling in love."
Ying Xing simply ignored the second half of the sentence. "It's not entirely because of him, but it's partly because of him—what did he do?"
"He's been acting strangely lately. Maybe he finds it new and exciting." Song Yi thought of Fu Xijing's behavior and laughed at himself. "He said he wanted to pursue me."
Ying Xing: "...are you moved?"
"No." Song Yi shook his head.
Ying Xing: "Then you——"
Song Yi: "When I was sick, Bian Cheng was busy. My mother felt it was not good and wanted him to change his job as soon as possible, but I don't like him. It's too unfair for him to do this. I don't think I can continue."
After she explained this, Ying Xing could understand it.
But she still confirmed: "Is it really just because of this, and has nothing to do with Fu Xijing pursuing you?"
