Chapter 6

What she could do, however, was to once again raise her sword, just as she did when she made that phone call to the special forces to break up with Gu Changfeng, and neatly draw a line between her and Ji Xiang.

In fact, the success of Song Shijia's confession can be attributed to this grand national event

As expected, Ji Xiang, feeling frustrated by the remark about his inability to protect his pride, pointed to Gu Changfeng, who stood tall in the shadows not far away, and coldly laughed: "He has the ability, so why not disregard everything and return to his side? However, Miss Song, when the day comes that he personally destroys you, do not blame me for not having warned you"

Because he understood too well, a simple statement from him had already put Song Shijia on edge. He said seriously: "Ji Xiang, I cannot control how you indulge in pleasures outside, but you must be responsible for Xu Nuan. You have been together since university, and it has been six or seven years now. Regardless of whether her way of loving you is what you desire, a woman who spends her best youth with you should not be met with indifference in return. As I said before, one must have a conscience in life." Regardless of whether her way of loving you is what you desire, a woman who spends her best youth with you should not be met with indifference in return. As I said before, one must have a conscience in life.

When Song Shijia received the news of Ji Xiang's marriage, she thought that life would change, but in fact, nothing had changed

Ji Xiang extinguished a handful of cigarette butts with the sole of his foot, glanced coolly at the girl, and smiled: "The wedding was held first, but we haven't registered the marriage yet"

Gu Changfeng was also present. Song Shijia inquired about what was happening. He briefly explained that the other party had mistaken the person. Then he glanced at the disordered beverage bottles and magazines.

Whether it was due to being frightened by Ji Xiang's words or feeling a sense of relief, Song Shijia collapsed onto the steaming ground. It was not until she felt a shadow overhead that someone spoke from a position of superiority: "It seems there are quite a few people waiting to settle accounts with you"

Do not think that you are the only one who wants to be reborn, Ji Xiang. I also wish I could drill back into my mother's womb and be born again, so that I could tell myself at the moment of birth: absolutely do not say a word to this bastard! I was just bored, which is why when you were infatuated with the class flower in the sixth grade, I printed reference materials for the whole class using her name and told her it was your work. I was just idly spending my time, which is why I spent money to hire someone to help you when you couldn't get past a level in a game, and you were so pleased with yourself, thinking you were incredibly lucky, as a master-level player took the initiative to take you as a disciple. I was also out of my mind, which is why I rushed to help you when you were fighting with older boys, only to end up losing a front tooth...

Song Xiaojia, are you being foolish? Given his father's status and surname, do we really need to wait until the official announcement day to know whether the bid for the Olympics was successful?

Song Shijia comforted Ruan Xuebi's wounded spirit. Although she seemed satisfied as long as there was food, she still tried to signal to herself. Song Shijia secretly pinched her, receiving a look of grievance in return. Fortunately, after inspecting each room, the person said he was leaving. Out of gratitude, Song Shijia accompanied him downstairs

Clearly aware of the impending success, yet feigning a gamble. This is merely a way to find the best excuse for an uncontrollable attraction.

She originally thought that the words she blurted out would provoke a sharp retort, but unexpectedly, Gu Changfeng was taken aback, his eyes quietly fixed on her without uttering a word

Song Shijia was in a difficult situation, struggling to speak: "Yes, it was that group of people last night who made a mess, I haven't had the time to tidy up yet"

In the deep sea, some fish change their skin color to disguise themselves when encountering external threats, while others expel blue flames in an attempt to scare off their adversaries. Now, there are individuals who appear strikingly similar to these fish that rely on the intimidation of others.

She acknowledged her past arrogance while simultaneously mocking Gu Changfeng for having fallen into her trap before

Therefore, the person who is least qualified to lecture me on morality is you, Song Shijia

At that time, Gu Changfeng was so annoyed by her persistence that he casually made a bet with her, stating that if the bid for the Olympics was successful, he would reluctantly accept her. However, if the bid failed, it would prove that even heaven thought they were not suited for each other, and Song Shijia would either obediently remain friends with him or obediently disappear. The outcome, of course, was beyond doubt: the bid was successful

Upon seeing Ji Xiang, Song Shijia was not surprised. Having known each other for many years and understanding each other deeply, neither of them was the type to keep their thoughts to themselves; she just did not expect him to arrive so quickly

She felt disheartened and, wanting to cover up her emotions, explained: "The ticket was given by Ji Xiang. When I received it, I happened to hear a song that I really liked, so I noted down the lyrics."

After delivering a harsh remark, Ji Xiang left in a huff, the sound of the car door slamming echoed loudly.

In the past, every time she went to Gu Changfeng's apartment, she would always mess up his room, leaving it in complete disarray, and it remains the same now

Song Shijia, I must be a fool

If I still want to hold you now

It has been six years since the breakup, and the vows from that time still resonate in my ears as if from a distant world. And behind the opening ceremony ticket, there are her beautifully written small characters.

Having stood up a colleague, Song Shijia hurried back to the apartment, where Ruan Xuebi was already sitting comfortably on the sofa

What initially began as a mere pastime of flipping through pages became deeply memorable due to the annotations that closely resembled his first impression of Song Shijia, prompting him to mark them. However, he did not anticipate that his seemingly trivial actions would leave a lasting impression in Song Shijia's eyes.

Xu Nuan could not reconcile with her own cleanliness and beauty, she could not easily face the appearance of Gu Changfeng, and Ji Xiang could not let go of the obsession in her heart

While crying, she did not forget to stuff a piece of Oreo cookie into her mouth, saying she was so hungry

To this end, Song Shijia finally grasped Gu Changfeng's weakness, beginning her transformation from a slave to a landlord, embarking on a path of unrestrained behavior before him. Not only did she engage in reckless antics, but she also demanded a gift on the hundredth day of their relationship. When Gu Changfeng was unprepared, she seized the opportunity to make him promise that they would attend the 2008 Olympic Games together in person

He recalled the marine encyclopedia he had read during his university years, where he had seen a fish known as the deep-sea astrologer: adept at ambush attacks, with eyes set high above its head

Those are two Olympic opening ceremony tickets that were previously tucked inside Song Shijia's sketchbook, seemingly the result of his earlier inspection of the room

The exposed Song Shijia's face turned even redder, and with a sharp tongue, she retorted, "Is that so? Then it must not be me, because even if I were a fish, I would be a deep-sea astrologer. The kind that likes to lie in ambush at the bottom of the sea, waiting for the opportunity to attack its prey, with eyes positioned on top of its head, a creature that is utterly arrogant."

Thus, later on, Song Shijia often exclaimed that she was a girl favored by heaven, favored to the extent that God would fulfill her in such a manner, until Zhou Yan mocked her as if she were a fool.

The girl had a pair of bright, darting eyes, and her cheeks appeared flushed under the streetlight. It was unclear whether she was angered by Ji Xiang, overheated, or embarrassed by her thoughts being exposed. Regardless of the reason, this expression evidently caught Gu Changfeng's attention, to the extent that he playfully teased her without holding any grudges.

Regardless of whether you have plans to get married at that time, Gu Changfeng, you must present me with a diamond ring as large as a cow's head in front of the entire nation, so that I can feel a surge of excitement! Do not even think about using the excuse of being too busy with work to evade this. When the time comes, I will tell you to choose between having a wife or remaining a single dog.

In a moment of distraction, Song Shijia bumped into the straight back of a person ahead. She covered her head and said apologetically, but when she looked up, she discovered Ji Xiang at the entrance of the community. The other person was leaning against the car door, illuminated by the streetlight, seemingly having been there for a long time, with a pile of cigarette butts at their feet

The garage of the community is located outside the main gate, and Song Shijia follows closely behind the silent man, reminiscent of how she used to try every means to cling to him during their university days

I am sorry, Ji Xiang, only by distancing yourself from me will you have the opportunity to start anew

At this moment, under the night as thick and inky as a writing stone, the gaze of an old friend pierces through the heart and lungs

From childhood to adulthood, when has it not been you who caused trouble and then ran away, leaving me to bear the consequences, ultimately getting beaten by my father until my nose was not a nose and my eyes were not eyes, while you laughed heartily. When you were happy, I accompanied your happiness; when you were not happy, I tried every means to make you happy, almost jumping into the Yellow River for a swim. Back then, when you and Gu Changfeng finally got together, you casually tossed her to me with the words, 'I think you and Nuan Nuan are particularly suitable,' and I really took it on just to make you believe that the world is beautiful and life is full of joy. You said she accompanied me with her best youth, yet I spent three times more time accompanying you; did you ever truly see me?

The only difference is that she used to be full of confidence, as if there was nothing in the world that could not be accomplished. Now she hangs her head, like a defeated rooster.

Song Shijia looked up, and that person took out two ticket-like items from their coat. Their eyes were pitch black. "Actually, I have no intention of prying into this, but I am quite curious. What do these two tickets mean?"

Always remember that someone is waiting at the ends of the earth. No matter how far the journey is, do not fail to return

Last year, when she first started selling tickets, Song Shijia saved diligently for two months before she could purchase them. Yet, despite being alone, she inexplicably decided to book two adjacent tickets.

Conscience? It is you who lacks conscience, Song Shijia

For so many years, you have always felt that your feelings run deep, but in reality, it is merely a sense of unwillingness. For this little bit of unwillingness, you have repeatedly pushed me to the edge of the waves, yet you lack the ability to help me navigate through these storms

Gu Changfeng's pause lasted only a moment before he lifted his foot and walked to the parking lot entrance. Song Shijia, as if relieved of a heavy burden, seemed as though nothing had happened. She raised her face to tease Ji Xiang, saying, "A newlywed running out, aren't you afraid of your wife giving you a hard time?"

Under the midsummer sky, Song Shijia rolled over from the ground and anxiously tiptoed to snatch. Unfortunately, Gu Changfeng seemed to have grown taller; with just a slight stretch of his hand, she could not reach even a bit.

Seeing her still harboring delusions of escape, Ji Xiang's gaze grew even colder as he moved closer to her, for the first time wearing a fierce expression.

Faced with Ji Xiang's severe accusations, Song Shijia's slender shoulders trembled under the warm streetlight, and after seemingly making countless resolutions in her heart, she lifted her head

Upon seeing Song Shijia, she rushed over as if she had just finished mourning: "Shijia, I thought I would never see you again!"
