Song Wei was about to hang up the video call when Ling Qingxue suddenly appeared. She was stunned. She stared at the phone screen with her eyes wide open. She didn't move at all, as if the video was stuck.
Xia Ruofei was also stunned. Then he said in his heart, You exposed yourself, so you can't blame me!
As he thought about it, he looked at Ling Qingxue carefully.
Song Wei was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She looked quite embarrassed and didn't dare to look directly at the screen. She gently bit her lip with her pearly white teeth and said, "Qingxue … So … So you're here too!"
Ling Qingxue also felt Song Wei's pain, which was why she jumped out in a moment of hot-headedness. Now, she felt a little regretful because the situation was too awkward.
Even though this wasn't a face-to-face conversation between the three of them, the atmosphere was very awkward.
Ling Qingxue glared at Xia Ruofei and said, "Song Wei, I heard about what happened between you two …"
"I'm sorry, Qingxue!" Song Wei said quickly.
"It's not your fault …" Ling Qingxue sighed and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person. Ruofei told me that you were poisoned because you helped him. In addition, the matter of cultivation … was purely an accident. No one can blame you for this matter. "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be surprised. Ling Qingxue was so reasonable? She wasn't like this before the video call! Once a woman got angry, she didn't care about reason.
It was a big mistake to reason with a woman.
Song Wei didn't know what Ling Qingxue meant, so he could only follow Ling Qingxue's words and say, "Qingxue, you're right. This was indeed an accident. But … It's my fault. If I hadn't been so impatient and waited for Ruofei and I to improve our cultivation before we got rid of the Peach Blossom Miasma, maybe it wouldn't have been so dangerous. Ruofei wouldn't have had to take the risk and rush into the core of my mind. Then, the things that happened later wouldn't have happened … So, don't blame Ruofei. If you want to blame someone, blame me for being too impatient … "
Ling Qingxue glanced at Xia Ruofei in annoyance and said, "Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. This guy might be secretly happy right now!"
"I didn't …" Xia Ruofei immediately defended herself.
"Shut up!" Song Wei and Ling Qingxue said almost at the same time.
After saying that, the two of them were a little embarrassed and their faces were slightly hot.
Ling Qingxue said to Xia Ruofei, "You don't have the right to talk here! We haven't even found lunch yet! Why don't you hurry up and go fishing? "
"Oh … Then you guys talk …" Xia Ruofei awkwardly handed the phone to Ling Qingxue and ran away.
He knew that the best thing to do at this time was to stay far away. The two women were like barrels of gunpowder. Maybe if he just sat there and did nothing, they would explode.
Xia Ruofei obediently took the fishing net and went to the hydrophilic platform at the back of the yacht.
Of course, he couldn't really focus on fishing. He was just absent-mindedly casting the net and pulling it in. It didn't matter if he didn't catch anything. Most of his attention was still on Ling Qingxue.
Xia Ruofei's spiritual power had already spread out and carefully paid attention to Ling Qingxue's situation. He was afraid that she and Song Wei would fall out again.
Xia Ruofei's spiritual power was much higher than Song Wei's, so his spying didn't attract Ling Qingxue's attention.
After Xia Ruofei walked away, Ling Qingxue sighed and said to Song Wei, "Song Wei, tell me … What are your plans?"
Song Wei's pretty face blushed slightly as she said, "My thoughts … Ruo Fei should have already told you! At that time, I was the one who suggested for you to come in contact with the cultivation method of the [Questioning Heart Sutra at the Beginning]. Apart from the countless benefits it would bring to your body, there was another important purpose. I hoped that you would be able to understand us after experiencing the feeling of cultivation … "
"Don't you think this suggestion is ridiculous?" Ling Qingxue was a little angry and frowned slightly. "What era is it now? How can a man have three wives and four concubines? How can a man be so fickle? "
Song Wei was very embarrassed and said, "Qingxue, I know you must be very angry. After all, Ruofei is your boyfriend. I … Although it was an accident, I'm still a dishonorable third party …"
At this point, Song Wei couldn't help but lower his head in shame.
However, Ling Qingxue suddenly asked, "Song Wei, you actually liked him before you cultivated with him, right?"
Song Wei was suddenly stunned and looked up at the screen.
Ling Qingxue also stared at the camera with clear eyes. From Song Wei's point of view, it was as if she was looking directly at him. That gaze seemed to be able to see through his heart, which made him panic.
After hesitating for a while, Song Wei nodded gently.
"Sure enough …" Ling Qingxue said softly.
Song Wei quickly explained, "Qingxue, don't misunderstand. Even Ruofei didn't know about this. I've always hidden it in my heart …"
"How could he not know?" Ling Qingxue didn't believe it. "Men and women are very sensitive about this kind of thing. If you have feelings for him, he must have felt it. Maybe he was just secretly happy!"
"I really didn't …" Song Wei said embarrassedly, "Qingxue, to tell you the truth! The reason I was so eager to get rid of the Peach Blossom Miasma was that I made up my mind to stay far away from Ruofei. I didn't want to ruin your relationship … "
Ling Qingxue raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, "What do you mean?"
Song Wei sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, I do have a good impression of Ruo Fei. Back then, it was he who saved my life. From the start, I was grateful to him, but as we interacted more and more, I unknowingly developed a good impression of him …"
Ling Qingxue had gradually accepted this fact, so she didn't overreact when she heard this. She just said calmly, "So that's why you were so concerned about him. He wanted to explore the ancient tomb, so you went with him regardless of the danger?"
Song Wei nodded embarrassedly, but he continued to explain, "You know what happened after that. The accident happened mainly because I was too eager for success. I was eager to get rid of the Peach Blossom Miasma because I wanted to distance myself from Ruofei as soon as possible. I hoped to leave him far away and gradually forget about him … You may not know this, but after practicing the Questioning Heart Sutra of [Genesis] for a long time, the frequency of two people's souls will tend to be the same, and the resonance between the souls will be stronger. The longer I stayed with Ruofei, the stronger my feelings for him would be. At that time, you happened to go to the capital and attend the Taoyuan Club's groundbreaking ceremony with Ruofei. I saw Ruofei's photo of the two of you on Weibo, and so many netizens left comments saying that the two of you were a match made in heaven … I felt even more tormented. After a long struggle, I decided to take the risk and get rid of the Peach Blossom Miasma in advance. I didn't expect something like that to happen … "
Song Wei said all of this in one breath, and he felt a lot more relaxed. He looked at the screen and said sincerely, "Qingxue, I didn't even tell Ruofei these things. Today, I won't hide anything from you … I know that all of this was caused by me, and I don't expect you to forgive me. But please don't blame Ruofei. He really didn't know, and it's all my fault! Don't worry. Now that my mind has been cleared, and there are no more hidden dangers in my body, it doesn't matter whether I cultivate or not. I won't disturb you in the future. Please forgive Ruofei this time! I hope that in the long years to come, you can help each other in times of need and be happy forever! "
After that, a trace of sadness flashed in Song Wei's eyes, and he reached for the button on the screen to hang up.
At that moment, Ling Qingxue suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Song Wei's hand stopped above the screen, and he looked at Ling Qingxue on the screen, waiting for her to continue.
Ling Qingxue bit her lower lip gently with her pearly white teeth. After a while, she said coldly, "Some things can't be explained clearly over the phone. Let's find a time to talk about it face to face! Can you come to Sanshan? "
Song Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded and said, "Okay! I'll try my best to … "
"That's it, then. Goodbye!" Ling Qingxue said coldly before Song Wei could finish his sentence, and then she hung up the video call.
…
Yunan Province.
At the foot of a barren mountain.
There were several large tents here, and staff members went in and out from time to time.
Not long ago, a half-collapsed tomb was found here. It should have been dug by grave robbers in the early days, and then the continuous erosion of the rain caused the tomb to collapse.
This archaeological team had been at the site for some time. Their main task was to excavate the tomb, and now the work was in the final stage.
Song Wei was a member of this archaeological team. Her job was to be an assistant to her postgraduate supervisor, and she was to organize pictures and written materials. It was also because she had almost lost her life in the Mount Yu ancient tomb that her supervisor rarely allowed her to go to the site in person. She worked in the tent most of the time.
Song Wei was on a ridge not far from the tent, and he was having a video call with Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue.
After Ling Qingxue hung up the video call, Song Wei was confused and didn't know what Ling Qingxue's attitude was.
However, since Ling Qingxue wanted to talk face to face, she had to meet with her.
Not only did she have to meet with her, but the sooner the better.
Therefore, after Song Wei put away his phone, he immediately walked to the largest tent in the campsite.
There were many staff members in the tent, and an old man wearing reading glasses was talking to a few staff members.
This old man was Song Wei's postgraduate supervisor, Professor Zhao.
"Professor." Song Wei walked to Professor Zhao and greeted him respectfully.
"Song Wei is here!" Professor Zhao greeted him cheerfully.
"Professor, I have something to talk to you about," Song Wei said.
Professor Zhao smiled and said, "Oh? Let's talk outside! "
He also noticed that Song Wei seemed to want to avoid the staff members.
The two walked out of the tent side by side. Without waiting for Professor Zhao to ask, Song Wei said directly, "Professor, I have something urgent at home. I was wondering … Can I take a few days off?"
Professor Zhao heard him and said quickly, "That's it! No problem! Anyway, the work here is almost done. You can go first! You can just come back to school and meet us … "
Song Wei said gratefully, "Thank you, professor! I'm sorry … I haven't finished my work here, so I … "
"It's okay!" Professor Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "There's just some finishing work left. You're mainly responsible for some recording work. Just leave it to your juniors!"
This time, not only did Professor Zhao bring along a few of his own graduate students, but he also brought along a few undergraduates who performed well. The job that Song Wei was in charge of this time did not require a high level of skill. The main thing was that she had to be serious and meticulous. It was not a problem for undergraduates to complete it.
Song Wei said, "Okay! Thank you, professor! I'll hand over the work. "
Professor Zhao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! You can go back to school after you finish your work at home. Don't worry. "
Postgraduate students' study time was usually more flexible, especially when they were doing research with professors. Taking a few days off was just a matter of a sentence from the professor.
"Okay, okay!" Song Wei said.
Professor Zhao thought for a while and said, "We have a car going to the county town to buy some things in the afternoon. You should hurry up and hand over the work at hand to Xiao Qian. You can go with the car in the afternoon. If the time is right, you can board the plane in the provincial capital at night. "
"Understood, thank you, professor!" Song Wei said sincerely.
Professor Zhao also called Xiao Qian out. After a few words, he asked Song Wei to take Xiao Qian to hand over the work at hand.
In the afternoon, Song Wei left the camp with the archeological team's car and took a bus to the provincial capital.
On the way, she had already booked a plane ticket. As soon as she arrived at the provincial capital station, she immediately took a taxi to the airport.
At around eight o 'clock in the evening, Song Wei boarded the plane to Sanshan City.
Before turning off his phone, Song Wei sent a WeChat message to Ling Qingxue: The plane will land at around 10: 30 pm. Let's meet tomorrow?
Before Song Wei turned off his phone, Ling Qingxue replied: Let's meet today! I'll pick you up at the airport.
Song Wei was stunned. She didn't expect Ling Qingxue to be so anxious. However, this was exactly what she wanted. She would have to face this sooner or later anyway, so it was better to solve it as soon as possible.
Therefore, she replied with a "Okay". Before Ling Qingxue replied, she turned off her phone.
In fact, at this time, Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue had already returned to the mainland.
They were not in the mood to play at sea. After lunch, Ling Qingxue asked Xia Ruofei to drive the yacht back.
On the way back, the two of them didn't talk much. The atmosphere was very dull.
When Ling Qingxue and Song Wei were sending WeChat messages, Xia Ruofei didn't look sideways, but he used his mental power to spy on them clearly.
He was also a little nervous. He didn't know what would happen when the two women met. Now, he felt like a prisoner waiting for his sentence. His heart was very tormented.
However, Xia Ruofei couldn't say anything. Since Ling Qingxue wasn't going to tell him, he could only pretend that he didn't know.
Now, Xia Ruofei's mentality was also relaxed. Anyway, he had said what he needed to say. As for the specific outcome, it was up to fate.
Xia Ruofei was driving the Knight XV off-road vehicle to the Jiangbin Villa area. Ling Qingxue put away her phone and said lightly, "Take me to the company."
"Ah? It's so late. You're still going back to the company? "Xia Ruofei asked, a little surprised.
Ling Qingxue didn't say anything. She just leaned against the seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Xia Ruofei touched his nose a little awkwardly and said, "Okay!"
After that, he turned the car around and drove in the direction of the headquarters of Ling Ji Catering.
In fact, Xia Ruofei had already guessed Ling Qingxue's intention. Recently, Xia Ruofei had been driving Ling Qingxue to and from work. Ling Qingxue's car had been parked in the underground parking lot of the company's headquarters.
Now that Ling Qingxue was going to the company, needless to say, she was going to pick up her car. Wasn't she going to the airport to meet Song Wei?
Xia Ruofei naturally could only pretend that he didn't know anything. He sent Ling Qingxue to the headquarters of Ling Ji Catering and watched Ling Qingxue walk into the building. Then, he smiled bitterly and drove back to the Jiangbin Villa area.
