That night, Song Xiangsi stayed in front of the tombstone for a long time before heading down the mountain.
Yang Sisi sat in the taxi, chatting with the driver while waiting for her. When she saw her come out of the cemetery, Yang Sisi was still in the car, so she helped her push the door open.
On the way back to the city, Yang Sisi and Song Xiangsi didn't talk at all. The taxi was extremely quiet, with only the constant whistling of the car as it sped past.
When the taxi entered Fifth Ring Road, Yang Sisi gestured for the driver to pull over.
When the car came to a stop, Yang Sisi opened her wallet. Just as she was about to pay, Song Xiangsi, who had been sitting motionlessly outside the window, said in a raspy voice, "Let me do it."
Yang Sisi didn't stand on ceremony. She closed her wallet and stuffed it into her bag. With a "Thank you", she pushed the car door open.
Before she closed the door, Yang Sisi hesitated for a moment, then said to Song Xiangsi, "I shouldn't have told you all this, because Jiamu told me you were married, but I just thought about how he knew he couldn't be with you, yet he wasn't willing to find someone to walk the rest of his life with? I just feel sad... "
As Yang Sisi said this, the rims of her eyes suddenly turned red. This was probably the only time in her life that after being hurt, she still wanted to be good to him without any regrets.
Yang Sisi curved her lips into a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Goodbye". She quickly closed the car door, turned around, and left with tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.
Song Xiangsi originally wanted to ask the driver to take her back to Su Yuan apartment, but in the end, she went to an old residential area beside Second Ring Road.
The mushroom restaurant hadn't closed yet, and there was only one table of customers eating. They had drunk quite a bit, so they were talking rather loudly.
The owner still remembered Song Xiangsi, and was very happy to see her. She led her to a relatively quiet corner to sit.
Song Xiangsi actually didn't have much of an appetite, but she still ordered a few dishes.
When the owner placed the order, she couldn't help but say, "You've been with Mr. Xu for so many years, but your tastes haven't changed. Every time he comes here, he always orders these dishes."
Of course, Song Xiangsi knew that Mr. Xu was Xu Jiamu. Her expression changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Does he often come here to eat?"
"Often." After the lady boss placed the order, she said with a smile, "He basically comes here once every other week, and he's always alone. However, he always likes to order two sets of cutlery and place them opposite him. He keeps putting food into that cutlery."
"Oh." Song Xiangsi curved her lips into a smile and didn't say anything else.
The lady boss hugged the menu and turned to leave.
Because there were few customers in the restaurant, the dishes were served very quickly.
The dishes still tasted the same, but Song Xiangsi found it hard to swallow. In the end, she barely touched the food, then paid the bill and left.
It was already ten at night, but Song Xiangsi didn't hail a cab to go home. Instead, she walked aimlessly along the road.
The mushroom restaurant was very close to the business district. When Song Xiangsi was a little tired from walking, she realized that across the street was the Xu Enterprise building.
Song Xiangsi raised her head and stared for a long time, before she finally counted to the office where Xu Jiamu was. The lights were still on, but because she was too high up, she couldn't see what was going on inside.
