At the time, she had cut them off so mercilessly, not leaving any leeway for them. If they were to start over now, she would be the first to turn back.
Actually, when she was in Beijing, she had wavered many times.
Maybe it was because of her age, but she lacked that little bit of courage and impulsiveness.
Just like now. She really wanted to give him a call, but she was just …
Just as Song Xiangsi thought about it, she suddenly heard the phone ring. Before she could snap back to her senses, she heard a familiar voice. "Hello?"
Song Xiangsi's eyes darted around, only then did she realize that she had unknowingly dialed Xu Jiamu's number.
"Excuse me, who is this?" Xu Jiamu's voice came from the phone again.
Song Xiangsi instinctively wanted to hang up, but then she heard Xu Jiamu speak again. This time, his voice sounded a little deep. "Xiangsi?"
Song Xiangsi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She clutched the phone, a little at a loss.
"Xiangsi, it's you, right?" As Xu Jiamu spoke again, Song Xiangsi heard the sound of him getting up and walking. She then raised her head and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was three in the afternoon, which was deep into the night in China.
Had she woken him up while he was sleeping?
Xu Jiamu was very patient, he wasn't the least bit annoyed that she hadn't said a word even though she had called. Over the phone, he seemed to light a cigarette as he blew out a faint ring of smoke. Then he spoke again in a magnetic voice. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Did something happen?"
"Are you listening? Xiangsi? "
Song Xiangsi finally managed to stop her tears from falling again. She tried her best to control her emotions, but she still couldn't help but sob a little. She was afraid that Xu Jiamu would notice something was wrong with her, so without a second thought, she quickly hung up the phone.
After a minute, her phone rang again. It was Xu Jiamu, but she didn't pick up. She curled up on the sofa, staring at the flickering phone screen.
Xu Jiamu consecutively called about ten times before he finally stopped.
The room became especially silent. Song Xiangsi helplessly buried her head in her knees.
At around nine in the evening, her bruises started to swell up. She gave Jiang Licheng a call and told him not to bring Little Red Bean back today.
That night, she curled up in bed and watched a movie. It was almost one in the morning when she fell asleep.
The next day, at daybreak, she was woken up by a knock on the door. When she climbed out of bed, she tugged at the spot she had scraped yesterday. The pain instantly woke her up, and she assumed that Little Red Bean had been away for too long. Jiang Licheng had sent her back, so she hurriedly ran out and opened the door. Just as she called out "Little Red Bean", she saw a travel-worn Xu Jiamu.
Song Xiangsi's eyes flashed with disbelief. She opened her mouth slightly, staring straight at the man standing outside the door. After a while, she forced herself to say, "Why are you here?"
Xu Jiamu didn't answer her question. Instead, he looked her up and down. "Did something happen to you?"
