Episode 349: One Step Further
Song Yi subconsciously wanted to dodge under his burning gaze, but Fu Xijing predicted her movements and held her face first, not giving her this chance.
Fu Xijing changed the question: "Do you have any thoughts about me?"
Song Yi had no choice but to whisper, "Having an idea won't change anything."
Fu Xijing disagreed: "If you had been more obvious, maybe we wouldn't have to wait so many years."
Song Yi: "It's pretty good now."
In other words, she prefers to get along with the current Fu Xijing.
If their relationship had turned official, she would have been inferior to him in their future interactions.
Fu Xijing would not have made the changes he is doing now.
Fu Xijing savored Song Yi's words, understood her hidden meaning, and nodded in agreement with a smile, "Yeah, that's right, it's good now."
——
Fu Xijing and Song Yi stayed in Rome for about a week and visited many places.
Later, the two of them retraced their original route and returned to North City in early August.
On the day we arrived in Beicheng, Jiang Yuxu came to pick us up at the airport.
Fu Xijing and Song Yi met Jiang Yuxu at the airport. Jiang Yuxu looked at him and saw his smug expression. He knew that he was in a good mood recently.
Although he was dissatisfied with some of Fu Xijing's past behaviors, now that he was with Song Yi, Jiang Yuxu's attitude towards him was acceptable.
At least Song Yi can't be caught in the middle.
"I'm back." Jiang Yuxu nodded to Fu Xijing and asked casually, "Are you feeling better?"
"Okay, thank you for your concern." Fu Xijing immediately answered Jiang Yuxu's question, "Are you not busy today?"
"Not busy," Jiang Yuxu looked at Song Yi, "Where are you going?"
"Let's go to her parents' place." Before Song Yi could answer, Fu Xijing took the lead.
It's exactly ten o'clock in the morning, which is a good time to visit.
"Don't you suffer from jet lag?" Jiang Yuxu asked in confusion.
Although it was natural for Fu Xijing to come back and visit, he was a little anxious to rush over right after getting off the plane. "It's still not too late to rest for a while."
Jiang Yuxu said this while looking at Song Yi. He cared more about whether Song Yi was tired or not.
"Then let's go first. It's a good opportunity to give them the things we brought." Song Yi slept for a few hours on the plane and is in good spirits now.
After hearing what Song Yi said, Jiang Yuxu stopped trying to stop them.
…
At half past eleven, the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
Fu Xijing walked to the trunk, picked up the gift he had taken out in advance, and walked into the yard with Song Yi side by side.
Jiang Yuxu was ahead of the two of them and opened the door first.
Near noon, Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang were sitting in the yard chatting.
Seeing Song Yi and Fu Xijing behind Jiang Yuxu, they were both stunned.
Song Lansheng: "Xiaoyi? Why didn't you go back to rest?"
Song Yi: "I'm not sleepy, so I'll just come and give you the things first."
She pointed to the boxes in Fu Xijing's hand.
Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang looked at Fu Xijing at the same time.
Fu Xijing smiled and placed the box on the table. He bowed politely to the two elders, "Aunt Song, Uncle Jiang."
His attitude was very good, and he didn't want to hit someone who smiled at him. Song Lansheng also asked with concern: "Are you sick recently?"
"As long as Song Yi is here, I won't get sick." Fu Xijing answered without forgetting to glance at Song Yi.
He acted like this in front of his elders without any reservation, and Song Yi was really unable to cope with it.
She is thin-skinned.
However, judging from Song Lansheng's reaction, he seemed to be very satisfied with this answer.
Recently, Song Yi has come to realize a truth - if Fu Xijing wants to coax someone, he is fully capable of coaxing the other person into submission.
After answering Song Lansheng's question, Fu Xijing took the initiative to ask Jiang Jiang: "How is your rehabilitation treatment going recently?"
Jiang Jiang: "Same old."
Although his attitude was not very warm, Jiang Jiang still responded to Fu Xijing's words, "Stay for lunch."
Fu Xijing: "Okay, thank you."
Jiang Yuxu stood aside and did not participate in this topic, but he watched Fu Xijing's performance throughout.
He and Fu Xijing had known each other since they were in the womb, and ever since he could remember, he had never seen Fu Xijing "fawning" on anyone so obviously.
However, the fact that he could do this for Song Yi also proved his attitude.
Jiang Yuxu had tried to make Song Yi "fall in love with someone else" before, but failed several times, so he simply accepted reality.
Song Yi came back in much better condition than before.
Even if she didn't say it, it was obvious that she was very happy to be with Fu Xijing.
That's enough.
…
Song Yi and Fu Xijing arrived suddenly, so Song Lansheng temporarily notified the chef to add a few dishes, which delayed the meal for more than half an hour. The family didn't have lunch until almost one o'clock.
We had lunch in the yard.
Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang sat on one side, Song Yi and Fu Xijing sat on the other, and Jiang Yuxu occupied a corner alone.
Jiang Jiang didn't have the habit of drinking, so grapefruit juice was prepared on the table.
Song Yi got up and poured a glass for everyone.
Fu Xijing was very considerate. He picked up his cup and clinked it with the two elders respectively, and finally did not forget to toast Jiang Yuxu.
After clinking glasses with Jiang Yuxu, Fu Xijing looked across at Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang and said solemnly, "Aunt Song, Third Uncle, I've done a lot of bad things in the past. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Song Yi pursed his lips, clenched the cup in his hands, and sweat broke out on his palms.
The topic still comes here.
I prepared myself mentally for a long time, but I couldn't avoid feeling nervous when the moment finally came.
Jiang Jiang raised his eyes to look at Fu Xijing, his gaze passing over Song Yi. "It wasn't us who gave you the chance, it was Song Yi who gave you the chance. If you want to thank someone, thank her."
"That's for sure." Fu Xijing was very sensible. He immediately looked at Song Yi and said to her in front of everyone, "Thank you for giving me a chance."
Song Yi took a deep breath and his face turned a little red.
Song Yi didn't answer, and Fu Xijing didn't mind. He said to the two elders again: "I know it's useless to say nice things. I have a long criminal record, so I need time to observe."
What he said happened to be exactly what Jiang Jiang and Song Lansheng thought.
After hearing this, Song Lansheng habitually exchanged glances with Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang: "From what you said, there are no plans for the next step for the time being." Fu Xijing: "Of course not, I can't wait to marry her right now - if you agree."
Jiang Jiang: "It's useless for me to agree. You should ask Song Yitong if he agrees."
The question was handed to Song Yi, and everyone at the table looked at her.
Song Yi thought for a moment under the gaze of everyone, and then slowly said: "It's a bit too fast, let's wait a little longer."
She has always felt that love and marriage are different concepts.
Many of the processes that occur when you are in a relationship disappear after you get married.
She had only been in a serious relationship with Fu Xijing for more than half a month, and she wanted to experience it more.
