In fact, Li Xiyu was extremely regretful. She shouldn't have been so curious and clicked on that voice message. The key was that she didn't know how to stop it, so she could only quickly cover her phone.
But the car was so small. How could Song Jiaye not hear the phone call?
Things had come to this point. As expected, her best friend Ming Yuexuan couldn't keep a secret. Li Xiyu had no choice but to brace herself.
"You've heard it. Confession gets leniency, resistance gets severity."
Song Jiaye found it amusing. "Shouldn't you first confess to me why you went to meet that Song Yunsheng?"
"This is also related to what I want to ask you."
Song Jiaye pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's talk when we get back."
When he heard the name "Zhou Donglin", his mood was already in turmoil. He also had a lot of things to ask Li Xiyu, but now he was the driver and had to ensure the safety of both himself and Li Xiyu.
Li Xiyu nodded and then changed the topic.
Song Yunsheng's interference had formed a contrast with Song Jiaye. Now, Li Xiyu even felt that, at least for the time being, Song Jiaye had been quite nice to her.
Just for Song Jiaye's considerate care in the past few months, she should sit down and have a good talk with him.
So, her attitude towards Song Jiaye was no longer as angry as when she first found out in the morning.
This made the way they got along briefly return to the previous state.
"Why do you have a sports car with such a... unique color, Mr. Song? Your taste is really something." Li Xiyu was careful not to say the word "gaudy".
Hearing Li Xiyu's teasing, Song Jiaye replied unhurriedly, "This car is yours. I only have business cars under my name. I thought they were too slow, so I saw your sports car in the garage and drove it out."
Song Jiaye was so anxious at that time that he didn't care about the color at all. He just drove the fastest car.
Hearing this, Li Xiyu finally realized what it meant to shoot herself in the foot.
She尴尬ly laughed twice and murmured.
"So I could drive before."
"Yeah, you drove the sports car even more aggressively than me."
Li Xiyu was an impatient woman. Buying a sports car wasn't for fun but for speed. The first time Song Jiaye took her car, she made him vomit.
At that time, Li Xiyu was a bit arrogant. Seeing him vomit, she coldly said, "You're already vomiting?"
There was full of mockery in her tone.
It was also from that time that Song Jiaye's originally steady driving skills gradually became more assertive.
No man could be completely indifferent when looked down upon by a woman.
However, all these were in the past.
While driving, Song Jiaye turned his head and glanced at Li Xiyu. In his eyes, she was now completely different from Li Xiyu before.
So, the past unhappiness didn't affect Song Jiaye. He asked, "Do you want to learn how to drive?"
"Can I?"
Li Xiyu was a bit excited when she heard this. If she learned how to drive, would she not have to ask Xiao Wu for help when she wanted to go out in the future? In this way, she wouldn't be watched by someone sent by Song Jiaye.
Song Jiaye didn't expect that the reason for Li Xiyu's excitement was to get rid of him. He nodded.
"If you want to learn, I can teach you. You drove a car before. Although you've forgotten now, driving relies on muscle memory. Maybe you'll remember how to drive after driving a few times by yourself."
"Okay." Li Xiyu readily agreed. However, she also had her own question: "What does driving have to do with chickens?"
"Chickens?" Li Xiyu hadn't asked such a stupid question for a long time, so Song Jiaye didn't react at first.
"Yeah, didn't you just say that driving relies on something like 'chicken muscle' skill?"
"This 'chicken muscle'." Song Jiaye couldn't help laughing.
Li Xiyu was annoyed by his laughter. "What are you laughing at? Didn't you say that yourself?"
"Yes, yes, I said it." Song Jiaye's smile didn't stop. Seeing his attitude, Li Xiyu knew that she must have made a fool of herself. So she crossed her arms and turned her head away, ignoring him.
When they arrived at Xiyu Villa and parked the car in the garage, Li Xiyu was about to get out of the car, but she didn't know how to open the car door. Song Jiaye didn't rush to get out either. Instead, he took off his coat.
His action confused Li Xiyu.
"What do you want to do?"
Song Jiaye rolled up his sleeves, made a fist and lifted his arm, showing the muscles on his arm. He explained to Li Xiyu, "This is muscle. It's 'ji' with a 'moon' radical and a 'ji' character, not the 'ji' of 'egg'."
"The 'ji' of 'skin'?"
"Right!"
In ancient times, when describing a strong person, people usually used adjectives like "having a back like a tiger and a waist like a bear". Few people said "muscle"; they usually said "strong muscles".
"I have this too."
Li Xiyu said and imitated Song Jiaye's action, raising her hand.
But there were no bulging muscles on her arm like Song Jiaye's.
She remembered that she used to have strong muscles. She wasn't afraid of arm - wrestling with her father's subordinates in the army.
Seeing Li Xiyu a bit disappointed, Song Jiaye held her hand that was about to put down and pointed to the slightly bulging part on her arm, telling her.
"Here, this is muscle. You have it too. It's just that girls' muscles are usually less obvious."
He was gentle and patient.
"I definitely had it before." Li Xiyu was still a bit disappointed.
"Before?"
"Yeah, in ancient times."
The car had stopped, and they might as well have a long talk. Li Xiyu turned her head and was about to have a good chat with Song Jiaye. Song Jiaye had leaned forward to tell her that she had muscles. When Li Xiyu turned her head back, their faces bumped into each other. Their breaths were on each other's faces, and they could clearly hear each other's heartbeats.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Xiyu leaned back belatedly. Her action also made Song Jiaye realize the current situation, and he quickly backed away.
Li Xiyu composed herself and asked, "Song Jiaye, are you like me, a time - traveler?"
Naturally, Song Jiaye shook his head at this question.
"I'm not."
He had a father and a mother. He had been in the modern world since he could remember, so he definitely wasn't a time - traveler.
Li Xiyu didn't beat around the bush and directly asked, "Then how do you know the Li family's family motto?"
"Family motto?"
"Words must be meaningful, and struggles must achieve results. Don't speak rashly, don't struggle blindly."
"This... How do you know this? And is this your Li family's family motto?"
Now, it was Song Jiaye's turn to be shocked.
"Not the modern Li family, but the ancient Li family, the one before I time - traveled. I heard you say this sentence to Li Tong. Where did you hear it from?"
"From a dream."
