"Yeah, you know Ying Jie?" Wang Xiaofang’s tone was quite surprised as she said, "Come to think of it, he’s a student at Kyoto University like you!"
Xia Chuyi was silent for a moment before responding, "Philosophy Department?"
"Philosophy Department? I’m not sure, but it seems like it," Wang Xiaofang tilted her head, thinking for a bit, then said to her.
After another moment of silence, Xia Chuyi asked, "Sister Fang, did you get the letter I wrote to you?"
"Letter?" Wang Xiaofang asked. "You’ve written me several, which one are you talking about?"
Hearing Wang Xiaofang say that, Xia Chuyi could almost be certain that she hadn’t received the letter concerning the matters about Song Yingjie.
After musing to herself, Xia Chuyi said, "Sister Fang, there’s something I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Wang Xiaofang looked at her, puzzled.
Xia Chuyi spoke, "This person, Song Yingjie, I definitely know him..."
She didn’t want to dwell on the process and went straight to the point, "But it seems he... has already got a girlfriend at Kyoto University."
Wang Xiaofang’s expression suddenly stiffened, then her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "No, that can’t be possible, can it?"
"If the Song Yingjie you’re talking about is the same Song Yingjie I know," Xia Chuyi paused before continuing, "Of course, it’s also possible that the one you’re talking about and the one I’m talking about aren’t the same person."
This statement was somewhat consoling to Wang Xiaofang.
"Right, the Song Yingjie I know, this time, came back with his girlfriend," Xia Chuyi said. "If we’re talking about the same person... Sister Fang, you should prepare yourself mentally."
With a name that matched, a university that matched, and a train schedule that matched, Wang Xiaofang’s expression was awful.
Quickly, Wang Xiaofang’s gaze moved past her and stared straight at a certain place.
Xia Chuyi turned her head, following Wang Xiaofang’s gaze, and saw, indeed, it was Song Yingjie and "Meng Zhaodi."
The fury in Wang Xiaofang’s eyes almost seemed to solidify.
Xia Chuyi sighed: It seemed that this Song Yingjie was indeed that Song Yingjie.
Then Song Yingjie’s gaze shifted over here, but he first noticed Xia Chuyi.
Song Yingjie’s face changed, and he was about to steer "Meng Zhaodi" away from her when he saw Wang Xiaofang standing behind her, frowning.
Song Yingjie’s expression clearly read "Why are you here?" and was very impatient.
Xia Chuyi pursed her lips, feeling that "unidentified person’s" punishment for Song Yingjie was way too lenient.
However, there was only limited time for the stopover.
"Sister Fang, it’s time for the train, I need to go back," Xia Chuyi glanced at Wang Xiaofang, then at Song Yingjie and the two scumbags, feeling somewhat uneasy about Wang Xiaofang’s situation, but she had to board the train nonetheless.
"Sister Fang, there are plenty of good men in the world, don’t get too upset over some trash," Xia Chuyi advised Wang Xiaofang. "If you need anything, just give me a call. My uncle’s home number is... and our area code is..."
After reeling off the phone numbers, she gave a few more words of caution before returning to the train.
The train started to move with a clunk, and from the window, she saw Song Yingjie walking towards Wang Xiaofang with "Meng Zhaodi" on the platform.
Wang Xiaofang didn’t move, and it wasn’t clear if she was calm or very angry.
Xia Chuyi sighed and thought to herself: I hope Wang Xiaofang will be alright.
When she got back to Ling County, she decided to send her some delicious treats. For a foodie, there’s nothing that can’t be fixed with some good eats.
