It took Li Qiyu a great deal of effort to recognize that the person in the photo was Li Xichi, who looked exactly like her in the ancient times.
Li Qiyu noticed that Li Xichi's face had lost a lot of weight, and there was hardly any bone structure left. She didn't dare to ask Li Xichi if she was sick. The way she looked, it seemed she was seriously ill. What if she touched a sore spot?
She turned to Song Jiaye for help. By now, she had learned how to use WeChat.
"Is Li Xichi sick?"
"Sick?" Song Jiaye put down what he was doing and asked in confusion. "What's going on?"
Soon, Song Jiaye heard Li Qiyu's footsteps clattering up the stairs. Li Qiyu stood outside the glass door and waved at him. Since the last time she had been dizzy after a bump, she didn't dare to act rashly. In fact, Song Jiaye's glass door wasn't closed, but seeing Li Qiyu waiting obediently outside, Song Jiaye cooperated and made a gesture of opening the door.
After Song Jiaye "opened the door", Li Qiyu boldly walked in. She held up her phone for Song Jiaye to see.
On the phone screen was a photo of Li Xichi that Li Qiyu had opened.
"Look, she's so thin. Her chin is out of shape. Isn't that a sign of being sick?"
Song Jiaye: "… This is called beauty filter."
"Beauty filter?"
"Yes, it's a function on the phone that can make people look more beautiful."
Li Qiyu murmured. "Is she more beautiful?" Forgive her, but she really couldn't appreciate it. The person had lost all her bone structure, and even she could hardly recognize her. Where was the beauty?
Song Jiaye thought something serious had happened. He asked, "Where did you get this photo?"
Li Qiyu exited the photo preview mode and showed Song Jiaye her Moments. Song Jiaye glanced at it and frowned.
Dreaming? What kind of dreams was she having?
However, Li Qiyu didn't notice this. After hearing Song Jiaye say it was okay, she clattered downstairs again.
After Li Qiyu left, Song Jiaye took out his own phone. He rarely checked Moments, not only because he didn't like to post on it, but also because the people in his Moments didn't like to post either. There wasn't much to see.
But when he opened it, he found that Li Xichi had posted more than just this one.
She had posted several in a row, all about dreaming. She said she had been having the same dream for the past few days.
Her situation reminded Song Jiaye of himself.
Was she also dreaming?
This puzzled Song Jiaye.
Li Xichi's Moments posts were like a serial drama. Not only about dreaming, but soon she started to talk about the content of her dreams. She said that in her dream, she had returned to ancient times, become the daughter of a general, and had a childhood sweetheart.
Now, both Song Jiaye and Li Qiyu were puzzled when they saw this Moments post.
Song Jiaye: How come her dream is linked to mine?
Li Qiyu: How come her dream is linked to my life?
So the couple started following the story on Moments. One day, Li Xichi was busy shooting an advertisement and forgot to post on Moments. Her Moments received several comments in a row.
Li Xichi felt secretly happy. It must have been Song Jiaye who left the comments.
Sure enough, posting on Moments for several consecutive days had an effect.
Thinking that Song Jiaye was in the bag, she decided to ignore him for a while. After finishing shooting the advertisement, she leisurely picked up her phone. At this time, the Moments showed that there were already ten comments.
In the past, when she posted on her personal WeChat Moments, hardly anyone paid attention to her.
Li Xichi happily opened her Moments. Sure enough, all the comments were from the same person, who was also asking if she had dreamed today.
However, it wasn't from Song Jiaye, but from Li Xiyu.
"Did you dream today? What else did you dream about? Why didn't you post on Moments? I'm so anxious waiting!"
Li Xichi: "…"
She scrolled down. Song Jiaye didn't react at all. He didn't even give a like.
This wasn't right.
Li Xichi decided to take the initiative. She opened the chat box with Song Jiaye and said, "Brother Song, can you recommend your psychologist to me? How did you get out of the dilemma of dreaming every night back then? I'm almost driven crazy."
Song Jiaye just glanced at the screen. When he saw the first sentence, he turned off the screen and continued the meeting without paying any attention to her.
After Li Xichi sent the message, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. She didn't know what else to say. Since Song Jiaye didn't respond, she couldn't lead the conversation to the content of the dream.
Although Song Jiaye ignored her, Li Xiyu privately messaged her to ask about the dream. But Li Xichi was in a心烦 state and didn't want to think about it. She ignored Li Xiyu.
During dinner time, Li Qiyu and Song Jiaye were having dinner. Song Jiaye's phone screen lit up a few times, but Song Jiaye ignored it. Li Qiyu silently ate her rice. Every time Song Jiaye's phone lit up, Li Qiyu's eyes would light up.
Song Jiaye also noticed Li Qiyu's strange behavior.
He asked, "Why are you staring at my phone instead of eating properly?"
"Did Xichi send you a message? What did she say?"
The message was indeed from Li Xichi. But Li Qiyu's question made Song Jiaye feel a bit vigilant. It wasn't that he was afraid of Li Qiyu checking up on him. He was afraid that Li Qiyu would have a relapse, hysterically overturn the table and throw a tantrum.
It had been a long time since he had to deal with such a situation. Alarm bells rang in Song Jiaye's heart, and he even felt a bit flustered.
Li Qiyu thought Song Jiaye minded her interfering. She quickly explained, "I don't mean anything else. It's just that Xichi hasn't posted on Moments today, and she didn't reply to my message. So I want to ask if she has contacted you."
Song Jiaye looked at Li Qiyu in confusion: "Why do you ask about her Moments?"
"That's just... " Li Qiyu said. "I'm just curious. I just want to know what else she dreamed about today. Don't you think her dreams are very interesting?"
Song Jiaye ate his dinner slowly and said, "I don't think so."
"Okay."
Since Song Jiaye was so cold, Li Qiyu didn't dare to say more. She silently ate her rice. Seeing her disappointed look, Song Jiaye finally couldn't bear it and picked up his phone.
The message was indeed from Li Xichi.
"Brother Song, are you busy? You should be off work by now. No matter how busy you are, you should take care of your health. Did you see the message I sent you at noon?"
She had divided a simple message into several parts, directly bombarding his phone with text messages.
Song Jiaye was concise. He replied with two messages.
First: Call me brother - in - law.
Second: Reply to your sister's message.
Then he turned off his phone, put down his chopsticks, and ate his dinner in peace.
Li Xichi stood there stunned, holding her phone.
What did Song Jiaye mean? Was he standing up for Li Xiyu? This wasn't right. According to the plan, Song Jiaye should have been deeply affected and shaken by now.
What Li Xichi didn't know was that she didn't know if this move of hers had any effect on Song Jiaye, but it had really shocked Li Qiyu.
