Episode 356: The Definition of Deception
Song Yi replied almost without hesitation: "Mr. Li, my personal opinion is that you should confess the truth as soon as possible."
Mr. Li: [I'm afraid she'll get angry with me or break up with me.]
Song Yi: [Do you think you can keep this a secret from her? With all due respect, there's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. You're together day and night, so she'll find out one day.]
Song Yi: [Between you confessing and her finding out, the latter is definitely more serious.]
Mr. Li: [Yes, you are right.]
Song Yi: [I believe your girlfriend is a reasonable person. As long as you explain your thoughts clearly at the time, she will understand.]
Mr. Li: [Really?]
Song Yi looked at this question and felt like laughing - this was somewhat inconsistent with Mr. Li's painting style.
However, it is normal for people to worry about gains and losses when facing people they care about.
Song Yi comforted him: [Really? Since she is willing to be with you again, she must not be able to let you go. Believe her.]
Mr. Li: [Okay, I’ll think about it.]
Song Yi: [Okay, it's late, go to bed early! Just send me the recipe tomorrow, thank you.]
…
Song Yi chatted with Mr. Li for quite a long time. When they were done, they saw that it was already half past ten.
She felt a little sleepy and yawned. Looking at the empty space beside her, she felt a little uncomfortable - Fu Xijing had only lived with her for less than half a month.
Song Yi glanced at the bedroom door, sighed softly, turned off the bedside lamp and fell asleep.
——
I slept pretty well last night.
The next day was a weekday, and Fu Xijing would have dinner at home before going to work. Song Yi's alarm clock was also set to the usual 8 a.m. schedule.
The bell rang at half past six.
Song Yi has a regular life and getting up at 6:30 has been a habit for many years.
The sun is shining brightly outside today. It's already bright at 6:30 in the middle of summer.
Song Yi got up, folded the quilt, opened the curtains and windows, washed up quickly, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
When she came out of the master bedroom, she happened to run into Fu Xijing who was going to the bathroom outside to wash up.
He was still in his pajamas and hadn't had time to change.
"Good morning." Song Yi waved to Fu Xijing, "Let's eat wontons later."
Fu Xijing: "Okay."
Song Yi: "Were you busy until late last night?"
Fu Xijing: "Twelve o'clock, not bad."
The two chatted for a few minutes, and then Song Yi went to the kitchen to busy herself.
There are frozen wontons in the refrigerator. I brought them back from the last time I visited Song Lansheng.
Song Yi usually makes breakfast in a simple way, doing whatever she can to save time. Fortunately, Fu Xijing is much more restrained now than he was in the past. He eats whatever she cooks and doesn't ask her to change the recipe.
However, Song Yi would still change her food every few days. After all, she couldn't eat the same thing every day.
When Fu Xijing changed his clothes and came to the kitchen, Song Yi had just finished cooking the wontons.
Fu Xijing went up to get the bowls and cutlery, and soon the two of them sat down at the dining table.
The sun shines in from outside, there are two bowls of steaming wontons on the table, a simple breakfast, and daily conversations, but the air is filled with warmth.
Song Yi lowered her head to drink the wonton soup, looking at Fu Xijing sitting opposite her, and suddenly realized that this was the "stable life" she had been pursuing.
Unexpectedly, I ended up living with him.
"Why are you sighing so early in the morning?" Fu Xijing became alert when he heard Song Yi's long sigh.
"I didn't sigh, I just feel that life is really good now." Song Yi said with a smile.
Fu Xijing pondered her words and immediately understood them at a business level: "Is it good to be with me?"
Although a little narcissistic, Song Yi did not deny his words and nodded gently: "You are doing very well now."
Fu Xijing: "Then you wanted to kick me out last night."
Song Yi: "You were the one who made me unhappy first."
Fu Xijing: "Are you happy now?"
Song Yi: "That was just a joke. I don't have such a bad temper."
Fu Xijing smiled and asked half-seriously, "If I really make any other mistakes, will you kick me out?"
This question came out of nowhere, but Song Yi was still very sensitive and immediately narrowed his eyes to look at him.
Fu Xijing: "Don't doubt it, I didn't do anything, I just set a rule for myself."
With his explanation, Song Yi's expression eased a little.
She thought about Fu Xijing's question seriously and said, "As long as it's not a mistake of principle, I won't tell you to break up."
It's okay to have little disagreements from time to time, it's impossible for two people to be completely free of conflicts, but she knows the difference very well and isn't the type of person who talks about breaking up easily.
Song Yi felt that talking too much about breaking up was very hurtful.
However, once she said it, it meant that she really wanted to break up.
That was the case with Xu Shengwen before.
"What do you mean by a mistake of principle?" Fu Xijing asked humbly.
Song Yi: "Cheating, cheating, breaking the law, these are the bottom line issues."
Fu Xijing's focus was on the first two words: "How do you understand deception?"
Song Yi: "Hmm? Is this hard to understand?"
Fu Xijing: "What level of deception is unacceptable to you? Everyone has things they don't want to say out loud."
Song Yi: "I understand this. I don't want you to be invisible in front of me."
She organized her words, trying to make her expression as precise as possible: "But when it comes to our relationship, I don't accept deception, and I won't lie to you either."
"Okay, I understand." After listening to this, Fu Xijing nodded solemnly.
"Yes, Aunt Qing said yesterday that our two families will have dinner together this Saturday." Song Yi changed the subject.
Fu Xijing said "hmm" and said, "I just saw her notification."
Song Yi: "I'm going to my mom's place today to tell them."
Fu Xijing: "Drive carefully."
…
After Fu Xijing had breakfast and said goodbye to Song Yi, he went out to work.
After closing the security door and entering the elevator, the smile on Fu Xijing's face gradually disappeared and his expression became serious.
He picked up his phone, flipped through the WeChat chat history from last night, and stared at the few lines sent by Song Yi, seeming to be lost in thought.
We must cut the Gordian knot and not delay any longer.
The elevator stops at B1.
Fu Xijing quickened his pace and walked to the parking space.
After getting in the car, he picked up his phone again and sent a document to Song Yi's chat box.
——
Song Yi saw the recipe given by Mr. Li when he was about to go out.
She thanked Mr. Li and immediately opened the recipe to read it herself.
This recipe seems to be written by Mr. Li himself, and the steps and ingredients are very clear.
After reading the recipe, Song Yi also felt that "I can do it too."
She saved the recipe and decided to buy some ingredients when she came back today - anyway, Fu Xijing would need it when he was "studying", so she might as well prepare it in advance.
