Song Baiyu woke up from his meditation to find the round moon hanging in the middle of the sky, its silver light spreading like mercury, filling the entire courtyard.
His stomach growled, and Song Boyu suddenly realized he hadn't had dinner yet. Subconsciously, Su Tingting appeared in his mind - if she were by his side, he would probably have already eaten her lovingly prepared dinner.
"Missing Tingting?" Song Baiyu had just walked into the living room when he heard his sister's clear voice.
"Sister, when did you arrive? How come I didn't know?"
"I saw you sitting in the yard staring blankly, didn't disturb you, were you thinking of Tingting? That's why you're so distracted?"
Song Baiyu was shocked, his sister had mistaken him for Su Tingting, fortunately, the pose he was in wasn't too strange or else it would have definitely raised his sister's suspicions.
"I knew you definitely haven't had dinner, so I specially brought some food back from the dormitory for you. Sit down for a while, and I'll heat it up in the microwave for you." Seeing Song Baiyu not speaking, Song Yuqing thought he was agreeing with her words, so she gave her brother a scolding look before going to the kitchen to heat up dinner for him.
Song Yuqing, as the mayor of Jinyang City, has a special secretary to serve him, and he also has many social engagements, so it's unlikely that he would go hungry. Song Boyu is different, however, as he doesn't know how to take care of himself and is alone in the world, so it's normal for him to be full one meal and hungry the next.
The dishes Song Yuqing brought back were all carefully selected by her and were naturally Song Boyu's favorite food.
Looking at her brother's voracious eating, Song Yuqing felt a pang of heartache. "You're already such a big person, but you still don't know how to take care of yourself. No wonder you never gain weight, how can sister be at ease with you?"
"Sister, I'm doing well physically now." Song Baiyu replied with a busy tone to his sister's concerned words.
"Don't show off in front of me, you're nothing but skin and bones yet you dare to say you're robust." Song Yuqing rolled her eyes at the remark and said softly, "I think Tingting is a nice girl. Although she comes from a poor background, she has good character, far better than those spoiled rich girls from the capital who don't even know basic social etiquette. These things can be learned slowly."
Song Baiyu heard his older sister suddenly mention Su Tingting, and his eating motion paused for a moment, but he didn't make a sound.
"...I see you haven't seen her for a week, and you're already lovesick. Tingting loves you so much, who knows what she's become? Why don't you go see Tingting? Some things can't be kept hidden in your heart, they need to be communicated to solve the problem." Seeing that her brother appeared not to have heard her words, but his ears were actually perked up, a smile involuntarily appeared in Song Yuqing's eyes. One mention of Su Tingting and another, it seemed like there was no end to it.
"Sister, you're not missing Tingting's breakfast, are you?" Song Boyu was a bit dizzy from his older sister's barrage of words, and when he looked up to see her excited face, he asked helplessly.
"Hmph, I don't want to bother with your affairs anyway. Good intentions are not rewarded." Song Yuqing's face turned stern as she said, "I'm going to listen to music, you clean up the table yourself later."
Watching his sister wearing pink crystal slippers on the milky yellow floor, taking light steps, her delicate collarbone slightly heaving, Song Boyu knew he had hit his sister's heart. A knowing smile involuntarily appeared on his face. The siblings had been together for so many years, and they couldn't hide their little thoughts from each other. However, thinking of Su Tingting, Song Boyu fell silent, perhaps he really should go see Su Tingting.
"Do you know that the taste of missing someone is like drinking a glass of icy water, and then using a very long time to drop one by one into hot tears..."
High-definition stereo sound suddenly echoed in the room, and as he listened to the melancholic music, Song Baiyu sighed: "Sister, let me off, I'll go visit Su Tingting right away, okay?"
"This is about right." Song Yuqing seemed to have expected that Song Boyu would surrender, she quickly turned off the music and a triumphant smile appeared on her face, "Remember to buy some flowers, chocolates or something, don't go empty-handed."
"Those are outdated." Song Bo Yu curled his lip and said disdainfully, "If those things were useful, that guy from the capital would have caught up with you long ago."
"You..." Just as Song Baiyu mentioned his own embarrassing story, Song Yuanqing's beautiful eyes widened in anger, but just as she shouted out a word, a loud "boom" sound was heard.
Song Baiyu was also startled by the sudden noise, and upon hearing that the sound seemed to be coming from the bedroom, his face changed greatly as he quickly rushed towards the bedroom.
"Hiss...". Almost as soon as Song Baiyu entered the bedroom, a black shadow jumped onto his shoulder.
"My alchemy furnace..." Seeing the alchemy furnace rolling around on the ground, Song Baiyu immediately knew what was going on.
In order to avoid letting his older sister discover that he was practicing alchemy, Song Baiyu had hidden all the things related to alchemy in his bedroom, and the alchemy furnace was even placed on top of the wardrobe. Now, however, the alchemy furnace had fallen from the top of the wardrobe, which was over two meters high, so how could it not make a loud noise?
He remembered that there were still a few grains of refined Jingyuan Dan in the alchemy furnace, so Song Boyu hastily picked up the alchemy furnace to check, but found that the alchemy furnace had been opened and not a single grain of medicine was left inside. He looked around the bedroom, but didn't see any medicine anywhere, and he couldn't help but look at the spirit beast on his shoulder with suspicion.
"Jiji, have you eaten all the dan medicine?" Song Baiyu asked in his heart.
The little guy knew he might have done something wrong, so he nodded dejectedly and looked up with a pitiful expression.
Seeing the little guy's pitiful appearance, Song Baiyu couldn't help but laugh and cry. He only then remembered that spiritual beasts didn't seem to be interested in ordinary food, and the medicinal pellets he had refined himself were left out in the open in the house, so it was natural that they would be found by it. But could this little guy digest so many Yuan Dan at once?
"Wow, what a cute kitty." Song Yuqing saw the spirit beast on Song Baiyu's shoulder and immediately threw aside the loud noise in the house. She quickly hugged the spirit beast in her arms and excitedly asked: "Little brother, you really have your own way, with such a cute kitty, those flowers and chocolates are indeed outdated."
"This isn't... " Song Baiyu originally wanted to say it wasn't a cat, but the words reached his lips and he immediately gave Jiji an order not to make a sound in front of outsiders. He then continued, "This isn't a gift for Tingting."
"Isn't it a gift for Tingting?" Song Yuanching was taken aback, "If it's not for Tingting, why did you buy this cat? I remember you didn't seem to like raising pets?"
"I bought it to raise with Tingting, no way!" Song Boyu felt a little guilty under his older sister's gaze, and he hastily threw down Jiji and said loudly: "Sister, I'm going to see Tingting, you temporarily help take care of Jiji."
"Uh-huh, you can go now. Is Gigi the little guy's name? So cute." Song Yuqing's attention was almost completely absorbed by the spiritual beast in her hand, and she didn't notice Song Boyu's guilty expression.
As he walked out of the villa gate, Song Boyu had a few regrets in his heart. Should he really go find Tingting? The hesitant thought flashed by, and scenes of life with Su Tingting appeared in his mind. Song Boyu quickly dialed Su Tingting's phone number.
"Ting Ting, I know you don't have a boyfriend, just accept me, I promise to treat you well..." As soon as the phone was answered, Song Baiyu heard a man's voice.
Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, Song Boyu furrowed his brow, wondering if he had dialed the wrong number. No, that couldn't be it; after all, the person on the other end was calling out to Tingting. When he heard someone confessing to Su Tingting, Song Boyu immediately tensed up and subconsciously held his breath.
"Lin Yue, I really have a boyfriend now, please stop bothering me." Su Tingting's helpless tone came from the other end of the phone, but she suddenly exclaimed and excitedly shouted: "Bo Yu, is that you? Can you come pick me up? I'm at the entrance of the computer training center in Times Square."
When Su Tingting spoke, the tone of the first half and the second half were worlds apart. Song Boyu could naturally hear the difference in Su Tingting's attitude towards the stranger and himself, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
In a brief sentence, Su Tingting surprisingly mixed in surprise, sweetness and pleading tone, Song Boyu heard it in his ears, he felt that his emotions were somewhat out of control, lightly responded with a sentence: "I'll be right there, wait for me!"
Song Baiyu hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, afraid that if he said more, Su Tingting would hear something unusual.
In Times Square, Su Tingting held the phone in her hand and heard the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone. Tears uncontrollably flowed out of her eyes.
A slender man stood beside Su Tingting, and when he saw her suddenly burst into tears, he quickly snatched the phone from her hand. However, all he heard was a busy tone, and when he looked at the caller ID, his face immediately turned ugly because there was no name on the screen, only a nickname: "Hateful Ghost".
"Tingting, don't be sad anymore. He didn't come to pick you up, did he? I'll take you home. If he doesn't know how to cherish you, then it's better to forget about such a boyfriend." Lin Yue, the boy who saw Su Tingting cry after finishing her phone call, subconsciously misunderstood that the person on the other end of the line had refused to come pick up Su Tingting.
Lin Yue now believed that Su Tingting had a boyfriend, and while he felt downhearted, he secretly rejoiced. If Su Tingting's boyfriend didn't know how to cherish her, didn't that mean he himself had the chance to pursue her?
