He suddenly recalled what Jiang Yongfeng had said.
Right, he was really stupid. He even considered confessing his dream to Li Xiyu.
Li Xiyu clearly knew everything.
Seeing Song Jiaye start but then fall silent, Li Qiyu looked at him in confusion. "What's wrong?"
Was she pretending not to know?
Song Jiaye really wanted to ask her this, but he thought it would be too aggressive.
He had indeed said many cold and excessive things to Li Xiyu in the past without realizing it. He had once sworn to part amicably with her.
Song Jiaye was deeply entangled.
On one hand, he comforted himself not to care too much about Li Qiyu. After all, they would go their separate ways in two or three months. On the other hand, he was really angry and couldn't persuade himself to calm down.
Most of all, he was angry with himself.
When Li Xichi played a trick on him, he could, for Jiang Yongfeng's sake, act as if it had never happened. And he was only sad for one night, not really because of Li Xichi but more because he had been tricked like a fool.
However, Li Xiyu was different.
He couldn't be as indifferent to Li Xiyu as he was to Li Xichi.
Song Jiaye took two angry steps forward. Finally, he couldn't help but turn back.
If he kept this to himself any longer, he would surely suffocate.
"Li Qiyu, I'm asking you, did Aunt Jiang say anything to you?"
The name Jiang Yongfeng was like a switch, instantly setting off alarm bells in Li Qiyu's mind.
She hadn't even had the time to deal with that woman yet. Could it be that she was walking right into the trap?
Li Qiyu didn't dare to be perfunctory anymore. She mustered all her energy to respond.
"What did she say to you?"
Li Qiyu's attitude made Song Jiaye even more suspicious of her.
Song Jiaye thought to himself, could there really be something going on between Li Xiyu and Jiang Yongfeng? Why was she so nervous when this matter was brought up? This was very strange.
Song Jiaye still wanted to stay rational, so he chose to be straightforward.
"Li Xiyu, be honest with me. Are you hiding something from me?" Song Jiaye thought that if Li Xiyu could tell the truth now, he wouldn't be angry with her.
"Just say what you want. Don't beat around the bush." Li Qiyu couldn't stand this kind of round - about way of speaking.
"Did you really lose your memory?" Song Jiaye decided to ask directly what was on his mind.
At least asking the person involved was better than hearing second - hand information from others.
Hearing this, Li Qiyu couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"Song Jiaye, then let me ask you. What do you think is wrong with me? Am I acting to deceive you?"
Song Jiaye hesitated for a few seconds. In the past, he could have given a definite answer, but now...
The face that popped into his mind was no longer that of his dream lover, but Li Xiyu's face?
Fortunately, Li Qiyu wasn't going to wait for his answer. She analyzed, "Why would I deceive you? To win your favor? Can your favor feed me? I've already told you that I'm from ancient times. You said I was being absurd. I really don't understand you modern people. You think time - travel is absurd, but acting isn't? Who in their right mind would spend all day acting around you?"
Even the most good - tempered person would get angry after being treated like this, and Li Qiyu wasn't exactly good - tempered to begin with.
Song Jiaye didn't know what was going on. He actually thought that Li Qiyu had a point. Even for something as absurd as time - travel, he even had the urge to believe it?
Could it be that Li Xiyu had cast some kind of spell on him?
"Without even thinking, I know that these words were told to you by Jiang Yongfeng. You can think carefully. How could Li Xiyu and Jiang Yongfeng sit down and have a calm conversation? Would she really help me? Okay, even if all these were possible, would I have the time? I didn't even know how to use a phone before. How could Jiang Yongfeng teach me to act and deceive you? Does she have magic like Ultraman and can control people's minds?"
The angrier Li Qiyu got, the more she resembled an angry little frog.
Song Jiaye was somewhat awakened by her scolding.
He took out his phone and started looking up the time.
The documentary had only started airing a month ago. The first time Li Qiyu saw the documentary was when it first aired. Before that, no one knew about this collection of poems, let alone the ancient tomb.
Of course, one could think more sinisterly. Maybe Li Xiyu was extremely capable and found this information from an unknown source.
However, as soon as this thought popped up, Song Jiaye knew it didn't hold water.
This was a classic chicken - and - egg problem. If, as Aunt Jiang said, Li Xiyu started acting after knowing that the "Chunyu Collection" was exactly the same as his dream, then Jiang Yongfeng would have to see the content of the collection first before she could tell Li Xiyu.
However, even in the documentary, there were only snippets. Before that, no one knew about this collection of poems. How could Jiang Yongfeng be sure that the content in the collection highly coincided with his dream?
Moreover, Li Xiyu had always been like this before.
She had been like this ever since she lost her memory. If what Jiang Yongfeng said was true, then the time would have to be pushed back several months.
Realizing this, Song Jiaye knew how stupid he was.
He couldn't even figure out such a simple logic.
He apologized to Li Qiyu.
"Sorry, I didn't think it through."
Song Jiaye actually apologized?
This really surprised Li Qiyu.
Li Qiyu actually knew that Song Jiaye was at most the knife that Jiang Yongfeng used to kill with a borrowed knife. Even if she wanted to blame someone, she should blame the real culprit.
However, this knife couldn't tell right from wrong, which was really infuriating.
The Song Jiaye in ancient times was a jerk, and the current Song Jiaye was a fool. After thousands of years, he hadn't become any smarter.
Li Qiyu didn't know what other tricks Jiang Yongfeng had up her sleeve, but she knew that all Jiang Yongfeng could use against Song Jiaye was Li Xichi's former affection for him.
In that case, she might as well eliminate the problem once and for all.
"Song Jiaye, I, Li Qi... Li Xiyu, hereby solemnly swear that I don't like you, not at all."
This wasn't an angry outburst but a solemn statement.
Song Jiaye was shocked. He didn't expect Li Qiyu to be able to say such words so calmly and绝情ly.
"Song Jiaye, I'm saying this not because I hate you. I just want to tell you that I don't have romantic feelings for you."
Li Qiyu still owed Zhou Donglin an emotional debt. Before finding out what had happened to Zhou Donglin, she wouldn't have any thoughts in this regard.
"I regard you as a friend. If you still want to be friends with me after three months, you're welcome. If you want to end this fateful relationship and never see each other again, I don't care either. We'll part ways sooner or later, so I don't need to do anything extra. Please also remember my words and don't make any unnecessary guesses."
