CH 51

Villainous Poor Student (16)

The first thing Song Xu Yi saw when she got up the next day was He Siyu’s sleeping face close at hand.

It had been a long time since the two of them had slept together, and when she saw He Siyu asleep, Song Xu Yi did not even react to it for a while.

He Siyu’s sleeping face was as usual: she was lying naturally flat on her back, her hands were placed at her sides.

Song Xu Yi’s arms were wrapped around He Siyu’s waist and one of her legs was resting on He Siyu’s thighs…

Song Xu Yi froze and retracted her arms and legs in a sheepish manner.

How did she sleep with Siyu again?

The first thing she remembered was that she had taken He Siyu out for a barbecue and then had a drink, but she couldn’t remember what had happened afterwards.

Luckily, the system was still there.

Song Xu Yi called out to the system in her mind.

The system’s voice sounded strange: “You’ve really forgotten?”

“Hmm.”

Song Xu Yi was inexplicably a little nervous——there seemed to be something wrong with the System’s attitude.

The system sneered out, with a bit of indignation and a few moments of obvious misery in its voice: “You kissed He Siyu last night!”

?

Song Xu Yi, however, didn’t show the apprehensive expression that the system had expected at all.

“How is that possible?”

Song Xu Yi let out a long breath and backhandedly pulled the system in the dark. The system must have been misleading itself, actually making up such an obvious and poorly thought out lie!

How could she possibly go and kiss Siyu?

Song Xu Yi despised the uncouth system for a while, looked at the time and saw that it was only six in the morning, and thought of letting Siyu sleep a little longer, so Song Xu Yi took the lead and got up…

However, when she looked at herself in the mirror while brushing her teeth, Song Xu Yi couldn’t help but see certain images in her mind…

Her giggling self after a drink.

Herself who pulled He Siyu foolishly and rubbed her neck.

Herself who went over… and licked the corner of He Siyu’s lips?!

……

As those images swirled in her mind, Song Xu Yi felt sick to her stomach!

She looked in the mirror: her cheeks were red but her eyes were full of despair.

Song Xu Yi sprinkled a handful of water on her face, and with great difficulty, she managed to restrain her despair and dry her face.

She was ashamed to look at He Siyu lying on the bed, feeling like a scum who had molested a virtuous girl and then ran away, hanging her head in shame and then releasing the system from the dark room–

“What to do ah ah ah! I really kissed Siyu! I didn’t think I’d be so bold when I was drunk…how am I supposed to face her afterwards aaaaahhh…”

Song Xu Yi hung her head down and rode the bus like a wandering soul.

The system originally wanted to mock He Siyu, but seeing Song Xu Yi in this state, it suddenly couldn’t say the words of mockery.

The system rolled its eyes, thinking that this might also be an opportunity, changed its tone and sighed softly, “Indeed, Siyu is a young girl with a heart of her own, she has made it clear to you that she likes girls, and you are still making such ambiguous gestures towards her, it is hard not to let her think about it…”

Song Xu Yi sniffled, feeling like her eyes were about to burst into tears, this was what she was worried about: He Siyu was a young girl who knew how to repay her kindness, because of her actions like this, if she mistook her intention for her, would she pretend to accept her because of kindness?

……

The more she thought about it, the more flustered Song Xu Yi felt, because she realised that in the past, on the basis of her mental age being much older than He Siyu, she had no sense of boundaries at all, and had said a lot of things that would be misunderstood, and done a lot of actions that would be misunderstood…

And what she feared was what came, Song Xu Yi’s mobile phone suddenly rang at this time, and the caller happened to be He Siyu.

Song Xu Yi’s hand shook and almost dropped the phone. She took several deep breaths before finally biting her lower lip and answering the phone as though she was dying.

“Si, SiYu,” Song Xu Yi tried her best to control her voice, “what’s the matter?”

“Why did you leave all of a sudden? Auntie Wang even made your breakfast.”

“There’s an emergency at the office,” Song Xu Yi stumbled and tried to think of an excuse, forcing her voice to sound relaxed, “You know, the office can’t do without me right now.”

He Siyu gave a soft “hmm”.

“And… that’s it. Siyu, I’m sorry about last night!”

Song Xu Yi clenched her fist tightly, feeling that a knife was pointed at her head, she simply opened her mouth, “I may have overdone something after drinking last night, but I promise I didn’t mean to do it, I’ve always treated you as my best friend, and I’ve never had any thoughts about you that I shouldn’t have, so believe me…”

“I know.” However before Song Xu Yi could finish her sentence she was interrupted by He Siyu.

Song Xu Yi didn’t know if it was just her own mistake, but He Siyu’s voice seemed to sound a few degrees colder.

“I didn’t take your behavior last night to heart, so don’t think about it, go ahead and get busy with your company’s business——”

He Siyu finished speaking in an icy tone, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.

Song Xu Yi listened to the “beep” sound on the phone, and her face fell in defeat.

Siyu was actually angry, wasn’t she? She had never hung up on her like that before…

But having said that, Song Xu Yi was also relieved.

Song Xu Yi planned to send a gift to He Siyu in a couple of days to express her apology, but at this stage Song Xu Yi felt that she needed to reflect on herself and develop a sense of boundaries with He Siyu.

The system and Song Xu Yi discussed and made some plans for future behavior when facing He Siyu: for example, not to make intimate gestures when facing He Siyu and not to say things that exceed the boundaries, after all, He Siyu is now an adult, even though Song Xu Yi has a sense of responsibility for He Siyu because he took her out of the mountain village back then, it is time to let go and let He Siyu grow up on her own…

Because of her weakness, Song Xu Yi did not contact He Siyu for a long time. Although she would still call, the Song Xu Yi on the phone seemed extremely polite, and even when she wanted to send He Siyu a gift, Song Xu Yi sent it by courier.

He Siyu didn’t seem to feel any difference and took the initiative to contact Song Xu Yi as before, seemingly still treating Song Xu Yi as her best friend.

Soon, another semester passed.

In the second semester of Song Xu Yi’s sophomore year, He Siyu took her entrance exams.

The rumour was that a temple on the outskirts of the city was very spiritual, so Song Xu Yi went to the temple to devoutly ask for a talisman for He Siyu and then sent it to her by courier.

After that, Song Xu Yi once again became extremely busy, as she planned to launch a project to help farmers on OSN. However, even though OSN was already growing rapidly, the capital invested by investors had not been returned, and Song Xu Yi wanted to help poor farmers without making a profit, which naturally led to opposition from the investors.

However, Song Xu Yi was able to overcome the opposition and created this section on OSN.

Because rural areas are generally full of fresh produce, this also means that they need to be supported by a more time-efficient logistics industry, and Song father has a logistics company under his name.

After Song Xu Yi proposed that Song father’s company be transformed, the father and daughter spent the afternoon in the study talking: this time the two were not talking as father and daughter, but as business partners assessing each other.

After listening to Song Xu Yi’s plans, Song father looked at Song Xu Yi with complicated eyes, and finally smiled after a long time, with a little tear in his eyes: “I used to envy Old He for having a daughter as progressive and understanding as Siyu, but now I think my daughter is the best…”

Xu Yi had once fallen into the abyss, and managed to escape from it. It was clear that she should have been the most fearful in her life, but she kept working hard, not for herself, thinking of bringing hope back to the abyss and saving the millions of girls who were still suffering…

She is his daughter, and she should be his pride and role model!

Song father’s heart suddenly surged with pride: his daughter had done this, how could he, as a father, lag behind?

……

As Song Xu Yi and Song father both began to work intensively on the countryside economy, along with the arrival of July, the results of the college entrance examinations began to be announced.

As reporters excitedly interviewed the province’s top science student, He Siyu’s unperturbed face appeared on the television. Even though she had won the top prize, the girl’s face was still very calm, but this kind of look on her face did not make people feel abrupt——a person who is beautiful to the extreme has the capital that ‘all the treasures in the world cannot be exchanged for one look back’, not to mention He Siyu also has talent and looks.

Originally, only people in the city had heard of He Siyu’s reputation, but now He Siyu’s fame has spread throughout the province, and the interview with the top student of the college entrance examination has even reached the highest ratings in recent years, with the television station deliberately playing the interview video on a loop several times.

In that interview video, the reporter asked He Siyu a few questions about her study experience, and He Siyu answered them in an extremely official manner, and finally the reporter saw the talisman He Siyu was wearing around her neck.

The reporter kindly joked, “Did your mother ask for this for you?”

The girl who had been looking cool and calm had her eyes slightly moving, suddenly biting her lip and finally hooking her lips into a faint smile, like a hundred flowers all blooming in one moment: “It’s not from my mother, it was given to me by someone who is very important to me…”

“Wow——”

The reporter was shaken for a moment by He Siyu’s smile, then immediately became enthusiastic and was as gossipy as many of the viewers in front of the TV: “Do you mind revealing who it is?”

“My saviour.”

“Oh… how did you meet?”

The excitement on the reporter’s face intensified a little more and he happily sped up his speech, “Mind revealing your current relationship?”

These days, there are many candidates who have poked the window and got together after their college entrance exams.

Yet He Siyu’s answer was not a nice school fairy tale as everyone expected it to be.

She lowered her eyes slightly, a small subtle smile at the corner of her mouth, as if she had thought of something very beautiful, and her whole aura became steeply soft and peaceful.

“She’s my best friend——”

But…

I am the only one who knows that I love her more than life.
