◎It would be nice to keep her for a moment longer.◎
The word "Xixi" came out of Song Siyao's mouth very smoothly, as if that was what he called her every day.
Xu Yingxi has been called this by many people.
It’s just that people with nice voices have a natural advantage. The same two words spoken by Song Siyao seem to be different from those spoken by others.
Xu Yingxi's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Then she heard the man's deep, clear voice ringing in her ears: "Shall we go?"
Xu Yingxi turned her head to look at the person next to her, slightly startled.
She actually felt that Song Siyao's eyes at this moment could be described as "gentle as water".
It must be because it was too dark at night that she was dazzled.
Xu Yingxi warned herself like this, but still couldn't help being mesmerized by the beauty in front of her for two seconds.
She agreed in a daze: "...Okay."
"etc!"
Someone called out to the two of them.
He Xu pursed his lips and found that he couldn't help but make a sound.
His fingers clenched unconsciously.
The man and woman in front of me are so well matched in terms of height and appearance that it is not an exaggeration to describe them as a perfect match.
The way the two of them were talking just now seemed very close.
He Xu thought of himself.
He once stood side by side with Xu Yingxi like this, welcoming everyone's envious gazes.
She also acted like a spoiled child around him.
He Xu took a deep breath. "Xixi... Last time at the sharing session, I wanted to come find you after it was over. But then I heard from your friends that you had left early because of something."
Xu Yingxi: “…”
If only He Xu and she were there, she could just turn around and leave.
However, since there were elders present, she nodded coldly and responded, "Well, something urgent happened that day."
He Xu was speechless for a moment.
In fact, he didn't know what was the point of bringing up the sharing session that had happened many days ago.
Perhaps because the two of them had met so few times in recent years, this was the only topic he could think of.
The two of them were not in the same school, and after this farewell, he was afraid that he would find another excuse to interact with Xu Yingxi.
He wanted to say a few more words to her, or even keep her for a moment longer.
Seeing her son's silence, He Xu's mother spoke up, "Oh, what a coincidence! You two just met not long ago? You too, Ah Xu, why didn't you tell me you saw Xixi?"
He Xu smiled awkwardly.
He knew his mother's thoughts clearly. Xu Yingxi was not only outstanding, but her family conditions were also rare.
My father's job as the director of a law firm is respectable and well-paid. My mother was a company leader before she retired. I have no older brothers and I have an older sister who is successful in her career and has plenty of money.
In his mother's eyes, Xu Yingxi was a daughter-in-law that was very suitable for her. After the breakup, his mother repeatedly urged him, both openly and secretly, to find a way to win Xu Yingxi back, saying that it would be difficult for a boy to meet a girl with such good conditions again.
Doesn't he want to too?
Xu Yingxi was his first love, the girl he had liked since high school. Even after they broke up, he had never been attracted to other girls.
But she didn't give him any chance to redeem himself.
He Xu felt very complicated about his mother's behavior today.
On the one hand, if her mother had not been there, Xu Yingxi would have turned around and left long ago.
But he was also worried that his mother's intentions would be too obvious and would disgust Xu Yingxi.
not to mention……
He Xu glanced at the man next to Xu Yingxi and clenched his fists tighter.
Wu Chunping: "The sharing session you're talking about is the one jointly held by major universities last month, right? I heard Ah Xu mention that he was selected as an outstanding student representative of University A and asked questions to industry leaders at the meeting."
Hearing his mother's intention to show off, He Xu frowned and stopped her: "Mom——"
Wu Chunping shook off her son's hand. "Oh, I was just chatting with Xixi. What's the big deal? By the way, Xixi, if you went to the sharing session, you should have seen Ah Xu's questions, right?"
Xu Yingxi: "Yeah."
Wu Chunping smiled and said, "That's great. I said I didn't understand these things and didn't know if what Ah Xu said was true. Tell me the truth, did Ah Xu behave okay at that time?"
Xu Yingxi didn't answer immediately.
To be honest, at that time she was thinking about who Xu Xingluo's father was, and she didn't listen to He Xu's question seriously.
However, she could tell that Aunt Wu didn't really want to know the answer, but was taking the opportunity to show off her son's excellence.
Did Aunt Wu mean to persuade me to change my mind and reconcile with her outstanding son?
Xu Yingxi was wondering when the person next to her suddenly spoke.
Song Siyao: "Auntie, I was also at that sharing session. If you are interested in what happened that day, I can tell you about it in layman's terms."
Wu Chunping didn't expect Song Siyao to interrupt, let alone say that. She was stunned for a moment: "Ah? This..."
Song Siyao added methodically, "I'm quite familiar with the relevant fields, and coincidentally, I was the one who reviewed He's speech."
Wu Chunping: “…Ah?”
Seeing Aunt Wu's confused expression, Xu Yingxi bit her lower lip and tried hard not to laugh out loud.
I don’t know if Song Siyao really doesn’t understand the social etiquette here, or if he’s deliberately trying to embarrass Aunt Wu?
Anyway, no matter which one it was, Xu Yingxi found it really funny.
Wu Chunping was stunned for a few seconds and looked at her son for help.
He Xu's face looked very unhappy.
At that time, a total of four outstanding student representatives were arranged to ask questions at the sharing session, including Song Siyao.
In such an important occasion, everyone's questions are not asked casually.
So what Song Siyao said was true. The organizer asked him and two other students to write the questions in advance and submit them to Song Siyao for review. They could only be officially used after confirmation that there were no problems.
At that time, Song Siyao read it and gave him some suggestions for revision. Two of the three questions he raised were revised based on Song Siyao's suggestions.
Even though he was very reluctant, He Xu had to admit that Song Siyao's professional level was far above his own, and he would not be able to catch up even if he was given another two years.
I am already good enough among my peers, but I am still a little inferior to the real genius.
He Xu tried to calm down and ignored his mother's request for help.
He looked at Song Siyao.
The other party did not avoid his gaze.
If it was just a vague guess in his mind before, then after meeting Song Siyao's eyes, He Xu was sure of one thing -
Song Siyao's feelings for Xu Yingxi are definitely not ordinary feelings between a senior brother and a junior sister.
Even though he understood this, he did not even have the qualifications to declare war on Song Siyao.
Because he was eliminated early three years ago.
Thinking of this, He Xu smiled dejectedly.
"Senior Song," He Xu said, "My mother was just asking casually. She doesn't understand these things. Your time is precious, so my mother and I won't bother you any more."
Song Siyao's expression remained unchanged: "That's fine."
He Xu: “Yeah.”
"Mom," he said to his mother, "Yingxi and Senior Song must still have things to do. Let's go first."
…
He Xu left with his mother.
Xu Yingxi looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, glanced at Song Siyao, and said from the bottom of her heart: "Senior Brother Song, I didn't expect you to be such a person."
Song Siyao remained calm: "What kind of person?"
Xu Yingxi answered in her heart: To attack someone from behind is to kill them without them being seen.
She smiled: "Nothing, anyway, thank you for helping me out just now. I thought you had already driven back."
When they left, the dishes on the table had not been cleared away yet, so Song Siyao sent her and Xu Xingluo back first.
Song Siyao: "I originally wanted to see you enter the school gate before leaving."
Xu Yingxi's heart moved.
"Brother, you're worrying too much," she said. "Our school's security is pretty good. There's no danger of anything happening at the school gate."
Song Siyao's face was expressionless: "Well, it's just that there's a chance that I might run into my ex and his ex's mother while they're taking a walk."
Xu Yingxi: “…”
She took a second to react and looked at him in disbelief: "You know He Xu is my ex-boyfriend?"
Song Siyao said calmly: "I've heard of the name."
Xu Yingxi still couldn't believe it: "How did you hear that?"
To be honest, it’s no secret who her ex-boyfriends are, and she herself is quite famous in school.
But she is not a nationally famous star after all. Even if she is a popular figure in school, most people only know her name and may not be able to recognize her when they meet her, let alone know how well she knows her.
If we talk about the most famous of her exes, it definitely wouldn’t be He Xu.
Both Xiao Zhiyu, who has many fans on the Internet, and Qi Wangzhou, who acts flamboyantly, are much more famous than He Xu, the low-key student A.
Therefore, only those who are very close to her or those who are very keen on gossip and scandals will clearly understand her love history and know that He Xu is her first boyfriend.
Song Siyao obviously does not belong to any of the above categories.
Xu Yingxi stared at Song Siyao, wanting to know where he heard that He Xu was her ex-boyfriend.
Song Siyao said calmly, "I don't remember it clearly, maybe I heard someone mention it by chance."
The corner of Xu Yingxi's mouth twitched.
She would never believe it if she didn't!
Xu Yingxi: "Brother Song, tell me the truth, have you ever asked anyone about my ex-boyfriends?"
Song Siyao: “No.”
Xu Yingxi: "It's okay. It's normal for you to ask. It's human nature."
Song Siyao: "Really not."
It's just that his memory is so good that he can remember some things unconsciously.
The dialogue reached a deadlock.
When talking about her three exes, Xu Yingxi sometimes lamented that her vision and luck were not very good.
But she never thought there was anything wrong with having had three relationships, nor would she deliberately hide it.
The main reason Xu Yingxi felt unhappy at this time was that she discovered that the information between the two of them was too unbalanced.
Her knowledge of Song Siyao's love history was limited to the gossip she heard from Senior Sister Wei.
And Song Siyao even knew about her least famous ex!
Xu Yingxi felt that it was necessary for her to get some information from Song Siyao himself.
After thinking for a moment, she pointed to a vending machine not far away: "Senior Brother Song——"
Song Siyao looked at her: "What would you like to drink?"
Xu Yingxi: "...mineral water."
Song Siyao walked over to operate the machine.
Xu Yingxi followed behind him and said casually, "Brother, I have a question for you."
Her gaze lingered on Song Siyao's raised finger: "When you first heard that you and I would get married, were you particularly surprised?"
The man's bony fingers paused slightly.
Song Siyao: “Yeah.”
He pressed the button below the mineral water.
Xu Yingxi: "Because I don't fit the image of your ideal future partner at all, right?"
Song Siyao: "I haven't thought about what my other half should be like."
He took out his phone to pay.
Xu Yingxi thought to herself, this person is really stubborn.
She changed the question: "Then you must have felt very incredible at the time, because with your personality, there is no way you would choose to marry a girl like me, right?"
Song Siyao: “No.”
Xu Yingxi: "So, you must be——"
Wait, what did he answer?
Xu Yingxi was shocked: "Don't you find it incredible?"
Song Siyao turned around: "No."
Xu Yingxi: “…”
This must be a lie, right?
Xu Yingxi: "Do you think it's normal for you to marry me in the future?"
With a "bang", a bottle of mineral water rolled out from the shipping port.
Song Siyao leaned over, picked up the water bottle, and handed it to her, his tone calm: "Why is it abnormal?"
Xu Yingxi took the mineral water in a daze.
After a moment, she came back to her senses: "Don't you think... we are a good match?"
Song Siyao had a blank expression on his face: "What's wrong with it?"
Xu Yingxi was at a loss for words.
"For example." She blinked, "I'm Qi Wangzhou's ex-girlfriend?"
Xu Yingxi admitted that this argument was not convincing enough, but please forgive her for not being able to think of a better reason at the moment.
She didn't want to remain silent for too long in front of him, as it would seem like she was stumped by his question, so she suddenly came up with this idea from her mind.
Song Siyao's eyes darkened slightly.
“I don’t think it’s a problem,” he said.
Xu Yingxi: “…”
Well, actually she also felt that this was not the main contradiction.
Ex-boyfriends have never been a factor influencing her choice of a partner.
Xu Yingxi cleared her throat. "That one doesn't count. Let's try again. I mean, I don't think our personalities are compatible."
Song Siyao didn't say anything.
Xu Yingxi unscrewed the bottle cap and presented facts and reason: "Brother Song, there's something you may not know. I can't stand being wronged at all. That's why I have high expectations for my partner: he must be extremely good to me, very good, and completely obedient. No matter what the reason for our argument, he must unconditionally admit his mistakes and comfort me."
After saying that, she tilted her head back and drank some water.
She was giving Song Siyao time to express his opinion and criticism on what she had just said.
For example, tell her: When two people get along with each other, they should tolerate each other, and it is absolutely not possible for the man to be the only one to accommodate and make sacrifices unilaterally.
Or: Rationality is the only way to solve the problem, and whoever is wrong should apologize.
Then she can prove that the two of them are not suitable.
Song Siyao: “Yeah.”
Xu Yingxi's movements paused.
Song Siyao: "I know now."
Xu Yingxi: “…”
A mouthful of water went into her trachea and she started coughing violently.
While coughing, she raised her hand, indicating that Song Siyao didn't need to help her.
After finally venting her breath, Xu Yingxi stood up straight.
She glared at Song Siyao: "Brother, did you misunderstand something? I was just telling you why the two of us are not suitable."
Song Siyao: "I didn't misunderstand."
He looked at her, his voice flat: "I just think that what you said does not conflict with the fact that we will get married in the future."
