The night before Song Yuan left Beijing, she received an invitation from a senior from her university. She wanted to treat her to a meal.
This senior was considered a member of the club at that time and took good care of her. However, after she graduated, they did not contact each other much. After all, she was still in school and the senior was working. Their circle was different. Suddenly, the senior asked her out on WeChat for dinner. She agreed without thinking.
The senior's surname was Jiang, and her name was Jiang Na. She was a warm person. She heard that she did not perform well in the college entrance examination. Otherwise, she might have been the top scorer in the liberal arts.
The two of them agreed to meet at a shopping mall near the Third Ring Road. When Song Yuan saw Jiang Na again, she could not help but sigh in her heart. Senior was so gentle. She looked like a talented girl with a strong scholarly aura.
"I only knew that you were in Beijing from my friend." Jiang Na poured a cup of tea for Song Yuan. "I don't know if your taste habits have changed. I took the initiative to order a dessert for you."
"I also like to eat sweet things now." Song Yuan laughed foolishly. "Senior, where are you working now? I didn't see you at our club's gathering last time. They said that you were very busy now."
"It's all for nothing. I'm working in a foreign company now. I'm mainly responsible for dealing with clients. Sometimes, I go abroad for business." Jiang Na paused and took out a packaged perfume from her bag. "I don't know what you like. When I was shopping in the duty-free shop, I thought that this smell was very girly and refreshing. It should suit you."
"I didn't even prepare a gift …" Song Yuan was embarrassed to accept the perfume.
"That's different. I've been working for a few years. You just graduated." Jiang Na pushed the gift to her hand and smiled. "Take it. I don't really like this smell. My colleagues might say that I'm pretending to be young."
The two of them chatted as they ate. The atmosphere was very good. This reminded Song Yuan of her senior in university. At that time, she often treated her to meals. It was very good!
When they were eating dessert, Jiang Na suddenly asked, "Yuanyuan, do you know that Ji Junpei is now in the same office building as me?"
The change of topic was too fast, and Song Yuan was dumbfounded.
"Actually, Ji Junpei and I went to high school together. He was one year ahead of me. I grew up listening to his legends." Jiang Na said in a joking tone, "I really admire him because someone said a long time ago that it would be difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. I always felt that he could do it."
"Senior …" Song Yuan didn't know whether to say it or not.
"I know what you're going to say. I heard Ji Junpei mention it when I had dinner with him a few days ago. Yuanyuan, since there are some things that I know, I feel that I should tell you. Otherwise, I will feel that it is a pity that the two of us cannot be together because of a misunderstanding. Yuanyuan, although you rarely talk about your family situation in front of us, many people know that your parents are famous local entrepreneurs. Everyone says that your family is very rich. Whoever marries you will have to work harder for twenty years. At that time, someone said those words in front of Ji Junpei. Ji Junpei's family situation is very ordinary. His grandfather had a heart bypass surgery. Every month, he spends more than two thousand yuan on medicine. His parents are ordinary workers. "
"Ji Junpei has a lot of pent-up anger in his heart. He doesn't want others to look down on him, and he doesn't want you to misunderstand him. Coincidentally, he applied for a scholarship and went abroad to study. He wants to wait until he has achieved a certain level of success before telling you his feelings. At that time, I also advised him not to think so much if he likes you. This is what he told me. He said that everything you eat and use is very good. If he was with you when he didn't have the financial conditions, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to give you these things. He was afraid that his mentality would change. "
"Actually, he really likes you."
Song Yuan was silent. She was really slow. Now that she heard Jiang Na's words and recalled how she took care of her in university, there was nothing that she did not understand.
She used a small spoon to stir the ice cream in her cup and whispered, "Senior, you like him, don't you?"
Jiang Na was stunned, but she only smiled and said, "I don't know. I just can't bear to see people misunderstand and not explain their difficulties. Actually, this has nothing to do with me. I haven't paid attention to you guys in the past few years. It's just that, it's just that, looking at his dispirited appearance, I can't stand it. How can a grown man not say anything even if he has something on his mind? What's with that long mouth of his? "
"Senior, thank you." Song Yuan looked up and smiled at her gratefully. "Although those things are in the past, I'm still happy to hear about it. I always feel that … I didn't think that those few years were unrequited love. It's just that I really don't like him now. I can't put my finger on it. I don't have any difficulties or regrets, but it's really impossible between him and me."
Jiang Na sighed. "I understand. I can only say that he is very arrogant. Perhaps all men are like that?"
She tilted her head and smiled. "Men are all egomaniacs. They always think that everything will go according to their plan, right?"
Song Yuan was amused by her words and nodded vigorously. "Yes, men are all egomaniacs!"
After this meal with Jiang Na, Song Yuan completely let go of her past with Ji Junpei.
She was in a very relaxed mood, even happy. She couldn't understand Ji Junpei's thoughts because they were in different environments. However, she had no right to criticize him. Perhaps if their perspectives were reversed, she would have made the same choice. She was just thinking about it. She was just heaving a sigh of relief for the past few years. Song Yuan, you didn't let your imagination run wild. You didn't think too much either. It's just that the two of you are really not suitable for each other.
Since she was in a good mood, her steps naturally became lighter.
Song Yuan took an express to the neighborhood. As she was walking quickly to the building, she saw Yung Heng beside the flower bed downstairs.
She was a little surprised to see Yung Heng here. She jogged to him. Her face was red from the cold wind. "Why are you here?"
Yung Heng took out a small hand warmer from his coat pocket and handed it to her. "I was just passing by. There's something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Song Yuan didn't want to take the hand warmer, but he stuffed it into her hands …
Yung Heng had a rare helpless and awkward expression on his face. "I can't say for sure. Mr. Xie, who is my father in name, arranged a blind date for me a few days ago. "
"Huh?" Song Yuan reacted in time and smiled. When she saw his awkward expression, she comforted him instead. "This is very normal. It's very normal here. Many of my classmates were forced to get married by their families right after they graduated from university. I read online that Xie Heng is also in his twenties. It's understandable that the elders in his family are anxious."
Seeing that she wasn't unhappy at all, Yung Heng lowered his eyes. When he looked up again, the helplessness from before was gone. It was as if he had been persuaded by Song Yuan's explanation. "Is that so? I don't know much about it. I don't know why, but I don't agree with this kind of thing. In fact, I'm a little against it. "
"I don't know what kind of blind dates are arranged by wealthy families, but I don't think they'll force you." Song Yuan actually wanted to laugh a little. The ancients were probably at a loss when their parents urged them to get married in the modern era.
However, could it be that what Gugu saw that day was his father's blind date? That was very possible.
"I hope so." Yung Heng looked at her again. "I think I saw Rong Ting that day. I thought I saw wrong, but then I heard you say that Uncle took him to the resort. I was a little worried. I was afraid that he would misunderstand if he saw me with other people. I don't have that kind of intention. "
"Gugu did see it, but don't worry. I've already told him. Now that you don't remember anything and have become Xie Heng, it's good that I don't remember anything either. You can live your own life." Song Yuan thought for a moment. "What I mean is, you don't have to worry so much when you meet someone you like. Gugu will understand and understand."
To put it bluntly, she and Yung Heng had nothing to do with each other in the modern era. Even in Gugu's world, she could explain it as a divorce. Now that they were divorced, he could pursue his happiness, and so could she. Even if Gugu couldn't accept it now, he would slowly accept it in the future, just like how she had done in the past.
Yung Heng looked at her intently. He seemed to want to say something but stopped. Then, he sighed. "Actually, have you ever thought that since I'm Rong Ting's father and you're Rong Ting's mother, we can give him a complete family?"
Song Yuan was shocked when she heard this.
She really didn't expect Yung Heng to think this way!
Seeing her like this, Yung Heng quickly added, "I don't have any other thoughts. I'm just afraid that I'll owe Rong Ting anything. I'm afraid that he'll be sad and upset."
No matter what he was thinking, in short, he couldn't have such thoughts!
Song Yuan wasn't afraid that he would think that she was imagining things or that she had misunderstood his thoughts. She said sternly, "Don't you think that it's very childish for two adults to entrust their feelings to a child?"
Yung Heng was stunned.
"If you were just Xie Heng, I might want to be with you." After all, he was really her type. She was also a little silly. She might have really gotten together with him on impulse. Of course, the premise was that he was Xie Heng, only Xie Heng.
"But you're not just Xie Heng. You're also Yung Heng. You and I don't know what we were like in the ancient era. We don't know what happened in the past either. How can we get together so carelessly? Isn't that irresponsible of the past? Don't you think so? "
Yung Heng clenched his hands in his coat pocket. He raised his head and smiled gently at Song Yuan. "You're right. I was foolish. I'm also afraid of this kind of blind date. I'm also afraid that Rong Ting will misunderstand. He doesn't seem to be very close to me. I'm afraid that he'll hate me. "
"No, Gugu isn't that kind of unreasonable child. I'll talk to him nicely. He'll understand."
"Okay."
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll go up first. It's too cold here. "
"Okay, goodbye."
Yung Heng watched Song Yuan enter the building before he turned and walked outside.
When he returned to his residence, he went to the study. His breathing was heavy and his expression was cold. He spread out the painting scroll, ground it, and picked up the brush to sketch on the paper. After more than an hour, the tip of the painter's brush seemed to have condensed all of his emotions. The portrait of the young woman was vivid and vivid.
Yung Heng closed his eyes. After a while, he finally calmed down and calmly rolled up the portrait and put it in the bookcase.
