Episode 342: Prove Innocence
Because of shock, Song Yi just looked at Fu Xijing and forgot to react. He did not respond for about four or five minutes.
Fu Xijing waited for a while, and seeing that she hadn't spoken, he smiled and said, "Don't think too much. This is the first time I've done this in my lifetime."
Song Yi was brought back to her senses by Fu Xijing's voice, and immediately understood what his explanation meant - did he think her silence was because she was thinking of Xu Rushuang?
She hadn't had time to think about that level yet.
But Fu Xijing really understood her. Once she came back to her senses from her shock, she would naturally think of Xu Rushuang.
It's not that she is narrow-minded or likes to bring up the past. Xu Rushuang's existence itself is a highlight in Fu Xijing's past. Unless she really cares about Fu Xijing, it is impossible for her to completely pretend that this never happened.
But there is a difference between thinking about her and being bothered by her existence.
"I haven't thought about that yet." Song Yi explained to Fu Xijing.
Fu Xijing: "Well, whether you want it or not, I have to prove my innocence first."
He was still kneeling on one knee when he said this. Song Yi's gaze was focused on his face again. After meeting his slightly haggard eyes, his heart tightened slightly.
Song Yi grabbed his arm and said, "You get up first."
Fu Xijing refused to move and said as a matter of course: "Can't you see, Teacher Song, I'm morally blackmailing you."
After a pause, he repeated the question: "So, are you willing to give me this opportunity?"
Song Yi: “…”
He is really amazing. He can explain moral kidnapping in such a fresh and unconventional way.
On this point, Fu Xijing has always been consistent - he never hides some of his thoughts and behaviors, even if they are bad and negative, he puts them on the table openly and readily admits them.
And Song Yi was also very clear that this was also the reason why she was attracted to him.
People are always attracted to the kind of people they want to be.
"Get up." After thinking for a minute, Song Yi finally spoke softly and said these four words.
It’s not a direct expression, but the answer is hidden between the lines.
A smart person like Fu Xijing could naturally hear it on the spot.
But he still insisted, deliberately asking her to say another sentence in person: "Do you mean you are willing to let me get up?"
Song Yi lowered his eyes and looked at him, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "You are really relentless."
Fu Xijing: "I told you, there are some things I want to hear from you in person."
He seemed to have become a repeater: "Are you willing?"
"...I'm willing." Under his relentless pressure, Song Yi finally gritted his teeth and said this answer, his cheeks getting even hotter than before.
When Fu Xijing heard these two words, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He held her hand in his and bent down to kiss the back of her hand.
"Thank you."
Song Yi's arm trembled due to his kiss, and a strange sour feeling surged in his chest.
She and Fu Xijing had already done all the intimate things in the world. When she returned to the villa with him, the two of them rolled into the same bed.
We've kissed countless times.
But, if she remembered correctly, this was the first time Fu Xijing kissed her hand like this—
Song Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the sour feeling, and came to his senses and said to him, "Hurry up and get up."
Fu Xijing said "hmm" and finally got up this time.
He sat back on the sofa, his hands still clasped with hers, as if they were reluctant to separate for even a moment.
After feeling his strength, Song Yi felt helpless: "Don't hold on so tightly, I won't run away."
"Who can say for sure?" Fu Xijing said, "I feel like I'm dreaming now."
Song Yi felt that he was exaggerating too much, but seeing his extremely serious expression, he finally did not say what sounded like a question.
However, there are some things that need to be mentioned -
Song Yi: "My mom and dad, after returning to North City..."
"Well, when I get back to North City, I'll go talk to them as soon as possible." Fu Xijing took over Song Yi's words, "Even if you don't tell me, I will go."
"Are you mentally prepared?" Song Yi asked.
Fu Xijing: "How dare I pursue you if I'm not mentally prepared?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of all these problems. Just be my girlfriend."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly added, "What I meant is that I won't let you get caught between me and them. I'm not saying you should be a puppet or a pet who obeys my every command."
Song Yi said "hmm".
Fu Xijing's current level of sensitivity and attentiveness always surprises her.
I was surprised and a little touched.
She was not heartless. She had been delicate and sensitive since childhood and was keenly aware of his changes.
He was really trying to be with her, and his actions spoke louder than his words.
The two of them leaned on the sofa and were silent for a while, but their hands never separated.
Finally, it was Fu Xijing who spoke first and broke the silence.
He put his arm around Song Yi's shoulders and asked her with concern: "Are you tired of catching the plane? You haven't adjusted to the time difference yet, right? Can you take a rest for a while?"
"I slept on the plane." Song Yi shook her head. She didn't feel sleepy at all.
Fu Xijing: "Then go back to the hotel to sleep tonight. Jian Rui has made all the arrangements."
Song Yi: "Are you alone at night?"
Fu Xijing smiled and pinched her ear. "There are nurses here. Just take a good rest. Don't worry."
Song Yi glanced at the sky outside and said, "Then I'll go back later."
Fu Xijing: "Have dinner here and go back."
Song Yi: "Yeah."
After this topic was over, the air was silent for a few seconds.
Fu Xijing suddenly hugged her tightly, "Thank you for coming."
"Are your parents very angry about your separation from Gu Zhongzhou?" he asked.
"No." Song Yi shook his head in denial.
Fu Xijing raised his eyebrows slightly, not quite believing it.
Song Yi saw his suspicion and said, "They have always known what I am thinking and they also know that I don't like Gu Zhongzhou."
"They just let me try something new. They won't force me to make a decision."
"That's right." Fu Xijing sighed softly, "But Aunt Song must be quite disappointed in me."
Song Yi was silent, thinking about how to tell him about this matter, when Fu Xijing suddenly changed the subject: "Have you told Gu Zhongzhou about us?"
Song Yi: "He saw it himself."
Fu Xijing chuckled, "No wonder he cooperated more diligently later."
Song Yi: “…”
——
Song Yi and Fu Xijing sat on the sofa and chatted for more than an hour.
Song Yi is not good at finding topics to talk about. Most of the time, it is Fu Xijing who takes the initiative to bring up the topics, and she is responsible for responding.
This pattern was not common in their previous interactions.
Fu Xijing is good at socializing, but when he is alone with her, he rarely puts so much thought into it - or rather, he is unable to lower himself to cater to her.
As long as he wants to, he can actually do it very well.
It was getting late, and the two had just finished a topic when Jian Rui and Fu Xiao came back with the dinner they had bought.
