"You deserve it."
After the initial surprise, Song Siyao replied: "I'm not mocking you."
Xu Yingxi blurted out: "Impossible!"
After a pause, she felt that she needed to present her arguments, otherwise it would seem like she was making a fuss.
Xu Yingxi: "I know you usually act like someone owes you eight million, but your expression that day was definitely different."
Song Siyao: “…”
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Yingxi thought that just asking like this would not really get her to know anything.
So she changed her mind, took a step closer and stared at Song Siyao: "How about this, tell me first, at that time, did you already know that Qi Wangzhou and his blind date went to the movies?"
The reason why she suddenly approached him was because Xu Yingxi believed that at this distance, if Song Siyao was lying, she would be able to see the flaw in his eyes.
Song Siyao silently looked at the girl who suddenly approached.
He knew that this was not right, but at this moment, he was distracted for a moment.
She was so close that he could smell the citrus laundry detergent on her.
Until Xu Yingxi spoke again: "Just answer me, do you know, or don't you know?"
Song Siyao: “…I know.”
Xu Yingxi gave him a look that said, "Just watch." "So you saw that I was kept in the dark and still treated Qi Wangzhou as my boyfriend, and you thought I was funny, right?"
Song Siyao said in a deep voice: "I have never thought about it that way."
Xu Yingxi: "Nothing?"
Song Siyao's voice was steady: "I didn't mean to laugh at you."
Xu Yingxi narrowed her eyes.
Song Siyao has a face that makes it easy for people to believe what he says, and his deep and magnetic voice makes people subconsciously feel that what he says is true.
But Xu Yingxi knew very well that good-looking people could also be deceptive.
What's more, he is a man like Song Siyao, who looks very scheming at first glance.
Xu Yingxi: "If you weren't laughing at me, why were you looking at me like that?"
Song Siyao's eyes moved slightly.
"I'm not sure what you saw in my eyes at that time." He whispered, "But if you really saw mockery, it was me mocking myself."
Xu Yingxi didn't understand what he meant and was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"
Song Siyao spoke slowly: "I hate trouble and I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs."
Xu Yingxi blinked in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly changed the subject.
Song Siyao lowered his eyes: "At that time, when I realized that I actually wanted to stop you and remind you what Qi Wangzhou had done..."
He looked up at her: "I am very confused about my own thoughts."
Xu Yingxi's breathing suddenly stopped.
Song Siyao concluded: "So, the look you saw at that time was probably my mockery of myself."
The two looked at each other so closely that she could even see her own reflection in the man's eyes.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she took a step back.
Xu Yingxi: "You..."
She bit her lip: "You said it nicely, but in the end, didn't you remind me?"
Song Siyao: "Indeed."
He looked at her, his voice somewhat helpless: "Not only did I not remind you, but you also hated me."
Xu Yingxi: “…”
She looked at him: "You deserve it."
Song Siyao: "Well, I deserve it."
Xu Yingxi: "You should have reminded me at that time, so that I could break up with that scumbag sooner."
Song Siyao: “Yeah.”
Xu Yingxi: "If there is a next time..."
Song Siyao's eyes darkened slightly.
Xu Yingxi felt a little unlucky halfway through her speech, as if she was cursing herself to be cheated on again.
So she changed her tone: "...Forget it, there won't be a next time. My vision won't be that bad anymore."
After saying this, Xu Yingxi felt a little discouraged.
It was clearly she who came to confront Song Siyao in a rage, but after getting the answer, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
It was Song Siyao’s fault for not reminding her at that time. She was indeed not familiar with him at that time, and he had no obligation to do so.
But she couldn't blame him. Xu Yingxi still felt a subtle discomfort in her heart.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden "bang" sound at the door.
It was the kitchen sliding door that hit the door frame.
They both looked over at the same time and saw a panicked-looking young man standing behind the door.
Xu Xingluo: "I didn't hear anything!"
Xu Yingxi: “…”
Xu Xingluo really just arrived.
After his mother went to the kitchen to find his father, although he was curious, he knew better than to eavesdrop on the "conversation between adults."
But the two of them stayed in the kitchen for too long, and Xu Xingluo couldn't help it and wanted to go to the door to take a quick look, just a glance.
Unexpectedly, the kitchen door was not pushed all the way in. He leaned against the door to gain some leverage, and the door hit the door frame with a loud noise.
Xu Yingxi waved at him: "Come here."
Xu Xingluo walked over with a guilty look on his face.
Xu Yingxi cleared her throat and said, "Let me ask you something."
Xu Xingluo: "What?"
Xu Yingxi: "If I had a boyfriend..."
The boy's eyes widened.
Xu Yingxi rolled her eyes at him. "What do you mean by that? I'm just giving you an analogy. If you accidentally discovered that my boyfriend had intimate contact with another woman, but I didn't know about it, would you remind me?"
Xu Xingluo was a little confused. Why did his mother suddenly ask such a question?
But since Mom asked...
Xu Xingluo said truthfully: "Of course."
How could he possibly watch someone cheat on his mother's feelings?
Xu Yingxi said "hmm" in satisfaction.
She gave Song Siyao a meaningful look and said, "I'm going out first. Call me when dinner is ready."
She waved and walked out of the kitchen.
Song Siyao: “…”
Xu Xingluo still hasn't figured out the situation.
He scratched his head: "Dad, what did my mom mean by that question just now?"
Song Siyao glanced at his son and sighed softly.
"I'm going to continue preparing dinner," he said. "You go stay with your mother."
Xu Xingluo: "Oh... OK."
It’s really hard to understand what goes on between adults.
I wonder if his mother still hates his father?
…
At around six o'clock, Song Siyao prepared dinner.
Xu Yingxi looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table and was a little surprised: she thought that Xu Xingluo's praise of Song Siyao's cooking was because he was using the filter of a son looking at his father.
Unexpectedly, the dishes Song Siyao served were much better than she had imagined.
Song Siyao noticed her surprise and explained, "I learned these before I became an adult. I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."
Xu Yingxi blinked, remembering what Senior Sister Wei had gossiped about with her before.
Song Siyao's life trajectory before adulthood can be described as "wandering". Perhaps such a life would make it easier for people to master some life skills?
Xu Yingxi herself doesn't know how to cook at all. Her parents never let her learn, and she doesn't think she needs to learn it specifically.
At worst, I can just wait until the need arises and then learn again, as long as I don't starve to death.
Xu Yingxi picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
It was quite to her taste and was considered above average among the home-cooked dishes she had eaten.
Xu Xingluo began to eat heartily without any burden.
Seeing him eating so happily, Xu Yingxi couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever eaten your father's cooking before... I mean, before you traveled through time?"
Xu Xingluo was stunned for a moment and glanced at his father: "No... In the future, my dad will be very busy at work, and the nanny will be cooking at home."
Xu Yingxi said "Oh" and glanced at Song Siyao: "As expected of Senior Brother Song who is so busy every day."
She asked Xu Xingluo curiously, "Have you ever eaten the food I cooked?"
Xu Xingluo shook his head: "No."
Xu Yingxi: "Why? Because I never cook?"
Xu Xingluo recalled: "Well, Mom, you said that you didn't want to waste your precious life on troublesome things like cooking."
Xu Yingxi: "Really? That sounds like something I would say. It makes sense."
Song Siyao, who had just wasted forty minutes of his life: "..."
After dinner, Xu Yingxi decided to go back to school.
Originally, coming to Song Siyao's place for dinner was an exception, and she didn't want to stay here too late.
Xu Xingluo also wanted to go back to S University Affiliated High School, so Song Siyao offered to drive them back first and then go back to clean up the dishes.
With a free driver, Xu Yingxi had no reason to refuse.
There was not much traffic on Saturday night, and the car soon arrived near the school.
After sending Xu Xingluo back to middle school, Song Siyao drove the car to the gate of S University.
Xu Yingxi had just taken a few steps after getting off the car when she heard someone calling her.
She turned around and paused.
"Xixi, it's really you." The speaker was a middle-aged woman in a dark knitted skirt. "The light was bad at night, I thought I was seeing things."
Next to the woman stood a young man.
It was her first boyfriend, He Xu.
Xu Yingxi didn't recognize the woman's identity at first glance, but finally confirmed it after seeing He Xu.
The woman who called herself was He Xu's mother, whose surname was Wu, and she was a former colleague of Xu Yingxi's mother.
The reason why it is "former" is because both of them are now retired.
Xu Yingxi raised a faint smile and greeted the other party: "Aunt Wu."
Wu Chunping smiled and replied, "Hey."
Xu Yingxi met He Xu's gaze.
He Xu's expression was complicated: "...Yingxi."
Xu Yingxi nodded.
When the two were in love, Xu Yingxi did not tell her parents.
It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose, I just feel there's no need to tell you before I'm completely stable.
But as for He Xu, he must have told his mother.
Because when they broke up, Aunt Wu called Xu Yingxi. The gist of the call was that she apologized on behalf of her son and said that if He Xu had done anything wrong, she hoped she would forgive him.
Xu Yingxi was not the kind of person who would change her decision just because of a phone call, so she politely declined.
I didn't expect to run into each other today.
He Xu's expression looked a little embarrassed.
Wu Chunping greeted her calmly, "Ah Xu and I had dinner at a nearby restaurant, and then took a walk to help digest the food. How about you, Xixi? Did you just get back from school?"
Xu Yingxi smiled: "Yeah."
She didn't want to talk too much, there was no need.
Wu Chunping: "What a coincidence, would you like to walk around and chat with Auntie?"
Xu Yingxi frowned slightly: "Auntie..."
Wu Chunping gently interrupted her, "I haven't seen you in ages, ever since you graduated from high school. I remember the last time I saw you was at your coming-of-age ceremony. You were the prettiest girl in your grade, wearing a long silk dress that made our Ah Xu's eyes pop out."
He Xu: "Mom, don't—"
Wu Chunping: "Oh, I just like Xixi. Why don't you let me say it?"
Xu Yingxi: “…”
Wu Chunping: "How about taking a walk with Auntie?"
Xu Yingxi certainly didn't want to take a walk with these two people.
But the other party was an acquaintance of her mother, so it was not easy to refuse too bluntly.
As I was searching for an excuse in my mind, I heard footsteps behind me.
Xu Yingxi turned around and was surprised to find that it was Song Siyao who came over.
Song Siyao stood beside her and said softly, "I'm a little worried since you haven't come back for a long time."
Xu Yingxi: "...Yeah."
Suddenly, a strange man appeared. Aunt Wu asked in surprise, "Xixi, who is this?"
Xu Yingxi: “…”
She was hesitating on how to introduce Song Siyao when the person next to her spoke first: "I am Xu Yingxi's senior brother, Song Siyao."
Xu Yingxi glanced at Song Siyao silently. He was telling the truth.
In this situation, as the only person who knew both sides, it was basic courtesy for her to introduce them.
Xu Yingxi: "This is my mother's friend Aunt Wu, and the one next to her is Aunt Wu's son, He Xu, my high school classmate. They were walking around here and we met by chance."
There is no need to point out the identity of my ex-boyfriend, as it will only add to the embarrassment.
Song Siyao nodded: "Aunt Wu, classmate He, hello."
Wu Chunping was still a little unresponsive: "Uh... hello."
He Xu on the side nodded and remained silent.
He knew Song Siyao. Any student majoring in computer-related subjects at S University and A University who wanted to continue their studies must have heard of Song Siyao.
Professors like to use Song Siyao's scientific research results as examples when explaining them to students.
But why did Song Siyao appear next to Xu Yingxi, and why did he seem to be very familiar with Xu Yingxi in his words and deeds?
He Xu felt as if something was stirring in his stomach.
Song Siyao turned his head to Xu Yingxi and said, "The car is parked, we can set off."
Where are you going?
Xu Yingxi didn't know either, but she could tell that Song Siyao was trying to help her out.
So she replied: “Yeah.”
Song Siyao turned back and said calmly, "Auntie, Xixi and I won't bother you any further."
