◎What did she do?◎
It takes about seven or eight minutes to walk from S Daximen to the subway station.
Wei Shi estimated in his mind that he had plenty of time, so he decided to start from the beginning.
"Didn't we just talk about how Song Siyao was the top scorer in science in North City that year?" Wei Shi said, "Actually, strictly speaking, he's not from North City."
Xu Yingxi thought for a moment and said, "You mean, he wasn't born and raised in North City?"
"Right, right!" Wei Shi gave Xu Yingxi an affirmative look, very satisfied with her understanding. "Song Siyao was born in England, but transferred to the United States when he was seven years old. He has lived in several cities since then."
Xu Yingxi nodded as if she understood something.
No wonder she once sat in on Song Siyao's research report in English and found that he spoke very fluently and had a nice pronunciation.
Xu Yingxi thought that her English was quite good. She was just one point away from getting a perfect score in the college entrance examination and had already passed the CET-4 and CET-6 with high scores.
But her choice of words and pronunciation are still not as authentic as Song Siyao's, and her fluency is also a little bit lacking.
At that time, Xu Yingxi sighed in her heart: Song Siyao must have studied high school and undergraduate and master's degrees in China. His English is close to his native level. His language talent is really strong.
It turns out that people grew up speaking English.
Wei Shi counted on her fingers. "If I remember correctly, Song Siyao attended elementary school in Seattle for a year, then spent three years in Silicon Valley, and later went to New York. He returned to China at fourteen and attended two years of junior high and half a year of high school in Shanghai before transferring to Beicheng in his second semester of high school."
Hearing Senior Sister's detailed account of Song Siyao's experiences, Xu Yingxi was filled with awe: "Senior Sister, you are amazing. You know so much."
Wei Shi's eyes curved with a smile, and she said modestly, "It's okay! I have a very good friend who went to the same high school as Song Siyao. I always listen to him."
Xu Yingxi: "I see."
Wei Shi added, "Song Siyao was incredibly popular in their high school. What I just said was first reported by the girls who liked him, and then it spread. Legend has it that most of the girls in the school liked Song Siyao, and that's not even counting the secret crushes."
Xu Yingxi couldn't help but curl her lips: "Half of the school? That's a bit exaggerated..."
Wei Shi smiled and said, "It's just a legend, just listen to it. Anyway, Song Siyao is a legend in their high school. Speaking of which, are you curious about something?"
Xu Yingxi blinked: "Did he ever have a relationship in high school?"
"Bingo!" Wei Shi snapped her fingers. "I knew you understood me, Xixi! So guess, has he dated someone?"
Xu Yingxi wrinkled her nose: "I guess not."
Song Siyao is the type of person who never shows any interest in love even when he was in college, let alone middle school.
Wei Shi gave her a thumbs-up: "Correct, ten points. I heard that Song Siyao's personality in high school was similar to what it is now, cold and aloof, and he kept a distance from both the opposite sex and the same sex."
"Speaking of this," Wei Shi changed the subject. "I've been reading a psychology book lately, and it says that besides genetics, childhood experiences are also a very important factor influencing a person's personality."
Xu Yingxi pursed her lips, as if thinking about something.
The senior sister probably thought that analyzing other people's personalities too bluntly was bad, but Xu Yingxi understood.
Since he was a child, Song Siyao would move to a new city every few years, and the number of times he changed teachers and classmates must have been even more frequent.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that he treats others coldly.
After all, even if you finally make friends, they will soon be thousands of kilometers away, or even halfway around the world.
Xu Yingxi was born and raised in North City. Apart from a few college roommates with whom she has a good relationship now, her two best friends are a childhood friend she has known since kindergarten and a junior high school classmate.
It was hard for her to imagine what life would be like changing cities and schools so frequently.
Maybe... you would be very reluctant to enter into an intimate relationship?
"Junior sister? Junior sister Xu?"
A male voice pulled Xu Yingxi back from her thoughts.
Senior Brother Chen: "Wei Shi, what did you talk about with Junior Sister? You made her speechless."
Wei Shi glanced at him and said, "Don't meddle in the conversations between girls."
Senior Brother Chen said good-temperedly, "I'm even more curious when you put it that way."
Xu Yingxi came back to her senses and responded calmly, "My senior sister was sharing with me some interesting ideas she recently read in a psychology book. I was so engrossed in them that I was lost in thought."
Wei Shi gave Xu Yingxi an admiring look and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! That's it!"
Then he glared at Senior Brother Chen: "There are four of us. Xixi and I are chatting, and you two boys are chatting. Isn't that fine? Why are you suddenly concerned about us girls?"
Senior Brother Chen said gently, "There's a traffic light ahead. I'll wait for you to go together."
Wei Shi was surprised: "I didn't expect you to be so attentive. Did your girlfriend teach you?"
Senior Brother Chen: "Haha, you make me feel ashamed when you say that. As someone with a girlfriend, I can't compare to single people in this regard."
After these words were spoken, Xu Yingxi and Wei Shi looked at Song Siyao in surprise.
Was it Song Siyao who suggested waiting for them to cross the road together?
Xu Yingxi and Wei Shi exchanged glances, and the same thought came into their minds -
It seems that Song Siyao is not as cold as he appears.
After passing the traffic light, Brother Chen and Wei Shi talked about the recent projects they were working on, and the two walked side by side in front of the sidewalk.
It is strange that four people are traveling together, with the first two walking in a row and the remaining two walking separately.
So Xu Yingxi did not deliberately distance herself from Song Siyao, but walked side by side with him behind.
But she still remembered Song Siyao's words at noon, "Have you seen enough?", so she looked straight ahead without looking away, so that he wouldn't say that she was staring at him again.
There were only a few minutes left to go, and Xu Yingxi was ready to walk to the subway station in silence.
The next second, Song Siyao's voice came to my ears: "Have you fixed the error in your code?"
Xu Yingxi: “…”
Is this person deliberately bringing up something that is not related to the topic?
Of course!
Otherwise, with Song Siyao's eyesight, could he not see that she had deliberately made the error report this morning?
Xu Yingxi turned around and smiled: "It's fixed. Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother."
To avoid further questioning, Xu Yingxi changed the subject: "I've been having a headache from writing code these past few days. It's rare for me to come out for some fresh air, so let's talk about something else."
Song Siyao: "For example, psychology?"
Xu Yingxi remained calm and said, "Well, the psychology theory that Senior Sister told me is quite interesting."
The topic should have ended there.
But Xu Yingxi suddenly thought that she could take this opportunity to find out more about Song Siyao's views on marriage and love.
According to the information currently known, she will marry Song Siyao and have children in the future, and maintain an unhappy marriage.
Xu Yingxi really wanted to know why this happened and whether there was any way to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
If she knew why she and Song Siyao would get married in the future, things would be much easier.
Unfortunately, Xu Xingluo didn’t even know the reason. If he wanted to find the answer, he could only start from Song Siyao.
Now Song Siyao has no idea what will happen in the future. Asking him at this time might give him more real information.
Thinking of this, Xu Yingxi decisively started to talk in a clichéd way: "Speaking of psychology, I recently saw a view that said that a person's approach to intimate relationships is largely influenced by their parents."
In order to avoid making her purpose too obvious, she first used herself as an example: "Take me for example. My parents have a very good relationship, so I have very high standards for the quality of my marriage and will not make do or settle."
Song Siyao looked at Xu Yingxi.
Xu Yingxi looked at him calmly, her face showing: I've already said this, it would be unreasonable for you not to share your own opinion, senior brother.
Song Siyao lowered his eyes: "You are right."
Xu Yingxi's eyes were burning: "What's right?"
The girl stared at him intently, the intensity of her gaze comparable to the sunlight above their heads at that moment.
Song Siyao's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied lightly: "There is no need to maintain a low-quality marriage."
Xu Yingxi snorted in her heart.
Is this true? Are you just setting up a character?
Otherwise, if they separate in the future, why doesn't he divorce?
Or does it mean that in the future Song Siyao loves her so much that he can't bear to let her go?
That's possible, after all, Xu Yingxi's charm is just that great!
Anyway, it definitely doesn't mean she doesn't want to get divorced. This doesn't conform to her life principles!
"What's going on? What are you talking about? Why are you talking about getting married?" Wei Shi's curious voice came.
Xu Yingxi: "Nothing much, just rambling and chatting casually."
Wei Shi looked at the two of them in confusion. It was okay for Junior Sister Xu, but Song Siyao actually chatted about this kind of topic with others?
As they were talking, the four of them had already arrived at the subway station.
Their destinations were two different hospitals, and they took the subway in opposite directions.
Several people said goodbye on the platform.
Wei Shi waved and winked at Xu Yingxi: "Junior sister, let's discuss psychology together next time we have the chance!"
Xu Yingxi laughed out loud, waved and said okay.
After bidding farewell to their seniors, Xu Yingxi and Song Siyao boarded the No. 4 subway line.
There were no empty seats in the carriage, but fortunately it was not as crowded as during rush hour.
Xu Yingxi glanced around, picked out a passenger who looked like he was about to get off the bus, and stood in front of him waiting.
Song Siyao was half a meter away from her.
The two of them maintained a perfect social distance and remained silent with each other.
From the perspective of passers-by, they look like two strangers.
Xu Yingxi took out her phone and sent a message to Xu Xingluo: [I'm already on my way to the hospital with Song Siyao. How's your side? Will you be able to do well tonight?]
It is now lunchtime at S University Affiliated High School. She remembers that the school atmosphere was very relaxed when she was studying there. The teachers turned a blind eye to mobile phones, as long as students did not use them during class.
Sure enough, she received a reply soon.
Xu Xingluo: [Yes, madam! I'm ready to carry out the mission!]
Xu Yingxi couldn't help but laugh.
Regardless of her son's abilities, his attitude has always been very upright.
Xu Yingxi: [Don't just think about the mission, but pay attention to the class first. I don't want to be forced to go to your school just because you failed the exam.]
Xu Xingluo: [Mom, what if, I mean what if, something really happens to me in the future and I need you to come to school, will you come?]
Xu Yingxi curled the corner of her mouth: You are quite good at pushing your luck.
Xu Yingxi: [No, let your dad go.]
Xu Xingluo: [QAQ No! I want you to come!]
Xu Yingxi: [Can't you just look forward to yourself?]
Xu Xingluo: [;︿;]
Xu Xingluo: [T_T]
Xu Xingluo: [QWQ]
Xu Yingxi: “…”
Suddenly, I didn't really want to pay attention to this guy who looked like he was only three years old mentally.
Even though he was complaining in his heart, the corners of his mouth still unconsciously rose a little.
"Junior sister." Someone called her.
Xu Yingxi turned her head and saw that the passenger sitting in front of Song Siyao stood up and got off the bus.
She was surprised for a second that he would call her for this, then she walked over and sat down without any hesitation.
Although this is basic gentlemanly behavior, she could reluctantly give him 5 points since he was quite self-aware.
So how many points does Song Siyao have now?
I can’t remember clearly, I think I failed.
…
As planned, after getting off the subway, the two arrived at the entrance of the People's Hospital at 1:45.
The hospital has several imaging rooms, and the two people made an appointment with the staff to meet each other on the basement floor first.
When they arrived at the agreed location, they were greeted by a young female doctor in a white coat.
Upon seeing the two, the doctor smiled and introduced himself: "My last name is Wang, you can just call me Doctor Wang. This is Xu from Professor Zhang's team, and you are Song, right?"
After a few pleasantries, Dr. Wang took the two into the nearest information room.
The space in the information room is not very large, so Dr. Wang did not close the door.
"The films you need are already organized in this room. Let me teach you how to use this scanner."
Dr. Wang speaks clearly and at a slightly faster pace, sounding very capable.
She first briefly explained how to use the scanner, then demonstrated it herself, and finally watched them both operate it once.
After confirming everything was correct, Doctor Wang nodded. "It looks like there's no problem. Then finish scanning the films in this room first. When you're done, call me and I'll tell you where to go next."
After Xu Yingxi and Song Siyao agreed, Dr. Wang walked out and closed the door behind him.
The People's Hospital in Beicheng was built early. Although it has undergone several renovations, the outpatient building where they are located is almost twenty years old.
This information room is located on the basement floor. It has no windows and the limited space is occupied by filing cabinets and tables of various sizes.
With the door closing with a "click", Xu Yingxi suddenly felt a little cramped.
Especially since Song Siyao was in the same room with her at this time.
She could remain calm when there were other people around, but now that they were alone, the thought that the man next to her was her future husband kept turning over and over in her mind.
At this moment, Xu Yingxi suddenly had an urge to tell Song Siyao about Xu Xingluo's existence immediately, so that she would not be the only one who felt awkward.
She held back.
No, we have to wait until the results of the paternity test come out and make sure it is absolutely safe before telling him.
She didn't want Song Siyao to think that she had a mental problem, or that she was a little girl who was scheming because she loved him.
Xu Yingxi put on a businesslike expression. "One of us will be responsible for operating the scanner, and the other will be responsible for passing the films. I'll operate the machine first, and we'll switch after we finish scanning half of the films. How about that?"
Song Siyao: "Okay, then come to my side first."
He took a step back, making way for her to get to the scanner.
Xu Yingxi nodded and walked past Song Siyao.
The passage was narrow, and she tried to keep a distance from him, and finally did not touch him.
After standing still, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to operate the scanner.
But Xu Yingxi overlooked that she had tied her hair into a high ponytail today.
She turned around a little more, and the ends of her hair flew up, brushing the nose of the person behind her.
Song Siyao: “…”
He resisted the urge to touch the slightly itchy skin, lowered his eyes, picked up the first film on his right, and handed it to the girl beside him.
Xu Yingxi was unaware of the incident and took the film from Song Siyao.
Their task today is to scan all the films in the hospital that meet the requirements into electronic versions and bring them back to the laboratory to prepare for subsequent data processing.
To put it simply, you put the film into the scanner, wait for the machine to run for dozens of seconds, then take away the scanned film and replace it with the next one.
The whole process was actually very boring. If there were other people Xu Yingxi was familiar with, she would probably just chat about something casually.
But Song Siyao is her future husband, and the two of them are now in a slightly small and enclosed space, less than twenty centimeters apart.
These simultaneous facts made it difficult for her to concentrate completely.
Xu Yingxi simply stopped talking. After all, it would be the two of them who would be embarrassed.
In the quiet air, the only sound was the humming of the scanner.
Bored, Xu Yingxi first thought about the possibility of pulling out a few of Song Siyao's hairs.
If she could handle it herself, there would be no need to ask Xu Xingluo to come specially.
However, Xu Yingxi glanced at the people around her and came to the conclusion -
The two of them were too close, and there was a height difference of nearly 20 centimeters, so it was really difficult for her to make a move.
There was no way, Xu Yingxi gave up this idea and began to observe the man's hands boredly again.
In order to pass the film to her more conveniently, Song Siyao placed his hand on the table next to him, with his slender fingers lazily resting on the edge of the table.
The nails are neatly trimmed and clean.
Perhaps he was as bored waiting as she was, the man tapped the table lightly with his index finger.
The frequency is not fast and the amplitude is very slight. It cannot be detected without careful observation.
But Xu Yingxi was bored to death at the moment, so bored that she noticed all the little details that she would not normally notice.
Thinking also becomes wild and imaginative.
She thought that Song Siyao's hands were really beautiful.
Knowing his future identity, Xu Yingxi subconsciously compared him with several of her predecessors.
Among her three exes, He Xu had the most beautiful hands, with long fingers and well-proportioned joints.
Qi Wangzhou’s is also okay, and it’s considered good-looking.
Xiao Zhiyu was just a little bit short of that. His hands didn't match his 1.80 meter height. His fingers were not very long and were a little fleshy, which was somewhat similar to his personality.
And what about Song Siyao...
Xu Yingxi felt that his hands were the most beautiful among the four people, slightly better than He Xu.
The same fingers are slender and have distinct joints, but Song Siyao wins because of his cold white skin, which makes his hands look like some kind of work of art.
Sure enough, what she said to Chai Mengtian before was right. Skin is very important to a boy's appearance and is a key plus point.
Xu Yingxi's mind kept popping up these random thoughts. After an unknown amount of time, she finally realized that something was wrong.
Song Siyao stopped tapping the table with his fingers at some point.
After realizing this, Xu Yingxi's body stiffened and her breathing stagnated.
She slowly raised her gaze and met Song Siyao's meaningful gaze.
Xu Yingxi: “…”
"Sorry." She said as naturally as possible, "I accidentally spaced out for a while."
As she spoke, Xu Yingxi adjusted her breathing, pretended nothing had happened, took the scanned film out of the machine, put it aside, and then reached out to Song Siyao for a new one.
Song Siyao cooperated without saying anything and handed her a new film.
Xu Yingxi appeared calm on the surface, but her heart had already turned the table over countless times.
What did she do?
First, at noon, I stared at Song Siyao's profile for too long, and he asked me in person if I had seen enough.
Then, when he was working, I stared at his hands intently and didn't react for a long time.
Plus, she'd volunteered to be in the same group with him on this field trip, and she'd taken the initiative to sit next to him at the team meeting this morning...
Help, Song Siyao wouldn't think that she is so secretly in love with him that she can't control her behavior, right?
Can't!
How could she, a super beauty who had been confessed to since she was a child, with suitors lining up from the gate of S University to A University, and the opposite sex always staring at her in amazement, tolerate such a misunderstanding!
It's simply the opposite of Tiangang!
Countless comments were floating through Xu Yingxi's mind, but she tried hard to appear calm on the surface.
She took a deep breath as the scanner started running again.
"Senior Brother Song," Xu Yingxi said, "I feel I need to clear up one... no, two misunderstandings."
Song Siyao raised his eyebrows slightly: "What misunderstanding?"
Xu Yingxi: "First, I was staring at you this afternoon because I noticed that your profile looked very similar to someone I know. When you meet him later, you'll know I wasn't lying."
Song Siyao looked at her quietly without comment.
Xu Yingxi: "Secondly, it takes too long to scan a film, so I'm just distracted!"
Song Siyao: "Yeah, I know."
Xu Yingxi: “…”
What does he know?
Moreover, she swore with her 5.2 eyesight that the corners of Song Siyao's mouth were definitely one millimeter more raised than usual!
Xu Yingxi thought that she might as well be more straightforward and said: I'm not interested in you, don't think too much about it.
But this would make her seem like she was trying to hide something.
After hesitating, Song Siyao said calmly, "Okay."
Xu Yingxi glared at him: "What's okay?"
What does "that's enough" mean? Do you think she talks too much?
Song Siyao looked at her, his voice calm and gentle: "The new film just shown has been scanned."
At first glance, he looked like a modest gentleman, but beneath this nonchalant appearance, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and a nonchalant smile appeared in his eyes.
Like the first clear day after rain, the ice and snow melted, very——
hateful.
Xu Yingxi was very angry at this smile. She turned around and didn't look at him.
Laugh, laugh!
Wait a few days and see if he can still smile when he finds out he has a sixteen-year-old son!
