For unknown reasons, Meng Yao and Xu Yao didn't chat anymore after that day, but Xu Yao's circle of friends was updated as always.
Song Siqi has paid special attention to Xu Yao's activities since she knew that Meng Yao's crush was Xu Yao.
Girls are very emotionally sensitive, and Xu Yao's regular daily sharing of updates in the circle of friends is too abnormal. This behavior is like telling a specific person what he does every day.
Too ambiguous.
Song Siqi intuitively felt that Xu Yao had someone he liked, but he probably hadn't caught her yet.
This intuition was very strong. Although Song Siqi was in disbelief, she could not imagine Xu Yao pursuing someone.
She wanted to find out about Zheng Hua, not because of gossip, but because of Meng Yao. Meng Yao has a delicate mind and has been in love with someone for so many years. Perhaps she realized Xu Yao's abnormality earlier than she did. How does she feel now?
Song Siqi found Zheng Hua's WeChat account, but didn't know how to ask appropriately.
She didn't dare discuss this matter with Meng Yao.
After that, whenever Song Siqi visited Xu Yao's Moments, she would think of Meng Yao, and she would feel a little upset when looking at the pictures Xu Yao posted. But she slowly discovered that Meng Yao's likes were found in every friend circle of Xu Yao.
From Song Siqi's understanding, Meng Yao is not someone looking for abuse. She can do such a thing as having a secret love for seven years, let alone stay in Xu Yao's circle of friends when she realizes that Xu Yao may have someone he likes. She couldn't do anything like this to increase her presence by giving likes as if nothing had happened.
Song Siqi suddenly thought of something.
Xu Yao's "abnormality" only started this month, and he only came back from Yunnan last month.
Song Siqi urgently needed to verify her idea, so she clicked on Xu Yao's Moments and scrolled down. She then looked at Meng Yao's Moments. The first time Xu Yao started this "abnormality" was on Teacher's Day. Meng Yao posted After joining the circle of friends.
Song Siqi boldly imagined: Could Xu Yao's various "abnormalities" be because of Meng Yao?
This possibility made Song Siqi excited.

After class, Meng Yao found that Song Siqi had sent her a message, asking her if school would be on holiday during the National Day and if there were any arrangements.
Time flies so fast, and the National Day is almost here in a blink of an eye. It’s a day to have fun with the people. Meng Yao said: Let’s have a seven-day holiday.
None of the school teachers stayed at school. Feng Xiao stayed here during the summer vacation. He planned to go to Dali during this vacation. In the morning, he asked Meng Yao if he wanted to come with him.
Meng Yao actually wanted to go home and see her grandma and grandpa, but Meng Yuanshan should be back during the National Day, and Song Lan also had a holiday, so they would definitely go back to her grandma's place. Meng Yao didn't want to run into Song Lan, so he hesitated and never made a decision.
She told Song Siqi: Let me take a look at the situation.
Song Siqi suggested: How about you come to Beijing? I’m going to Beijing for National Day, let’s get together.
Song Siqi went to Beijing to find her boyfriend, Meng Yao smiled and said: Should I be a light bulb?
Song Siqi said: No, I also made an appointment with Zheng Hua on National Day, and Xu Yao should also come.
This name made Meng Yao's heart skip a beat.
Song Siqi said: Come on, don’t you want to meet Xu Yao?
Meng Yao paused. In front of Song Siqi, she didn't need to hide. I want it, I want it very much.
Song Siqi asked casually: By the way, have you had any contact with Xu Yao after he returned to Beijing? I mean the kind of private chat
Meng Yao answered honestly: Yes.
But there has been no contact in the past few days.
Song Siqi touched her palms excitedly and said: Come on, I'm serious. You are too far apart and have too few opportunities to meet. Don't miss it.
She had to admit that Meng Yao was moved by what Song Siqi said. Her desire to see Xu Yao became stronger and stronger. She breathed out softly and typed: OK
Feng Xiao felt very sorry for Meng Yao's rejection of her invitation to visit Dali. After hearing Meng Yao say that she wanted to get together with her friends, she expressed her understanding and said, "When did you book the high-speed train? Is it for the morning of October 1st?" Uncle Liu can take us to the high-speed rail station together."
Meng Yao said: "I haven't booked a ticket yet."
She pulled out the ticket purchase app, looked at it, and said, "I'll book the trip at noon."
Feng Xiao said: "Then we are about the same time."
After Meng Yao confirmed the ticket purchase information, he called his grandmother.
She told her grandma that she would go to get together with Song Siqi during the National Day holiday, and then come back to visit her and her grandpa.
Grandma had no problem with it and told her to have fun and not worry about her and her grandfather.
After chatting for a few more words, Meng Yao hung up the phone.
The journey to Beijing was long and troublesome. Meng Yao took the high-speed train to Kunming and then transferred to a plane. Song Siqi's flight last night arrived in Beijing. She asked Meng Yao for flight information and said she would pick her up at the airport.
Meng Yao was texting Song Siqi in Uncle Liu's car. Feng Xiao was a little bored. He looked at her and suddenly asked: "Meng Yao, are most of your classmates in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou?"
Meng Yao looked up from his mobile phone and said: "It is true that more people are developing in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but some of them have returned to their hometowns to start businesses or take civil service examinations, and a few have gone abroad. What's wrong?"
Feng Xiao looked at her and said, "It's nothing. It's just that with your academic qualifications, I really feel it's a pity to be here."
Meng Yao smiled. She was not surprised at all when Feng Xiao said this. Meng Yao didn't know how many people she had heard similar words from.
"Actually, it's not a pity." Meng Yao said calmly, "Everyone wants different things."
Feng Xiao couldn't help but wonder: "But when you see your friends sitting in a comfortable office, eating afternoon tea and snacks, and earning hundreds of thousands in annual salary, won't you feel uncomfortable because of the huge difference?"
Meng Yao said: "No, this is my own choice."
"Like you, you may have a lot of job options, but why don't you come here?"
Feng Xiao muttered involuntarily: "I came here for a purpose."
"Well, there's a reason why I'm here."
"Moreover." Meng Yao said with a smile, "My friends are just starting out in society, so they are not as easy as you say."
When they arrived at the high-speed rail station, Meng Yao and Feng Xiao went to the waiting room together. Feng Xiao set off earlier than Meng Yao and set off first.
After she left, Meng Yao wandered around in the specialty store in the high-speed rail station and bought some things. After that, he waited for another half an hour before starting to check in. Meng Yao took her luggage and walked to the platform. Her route this time was different from Xu Yao's. It was the same as when she left Yunnan at that time. Xu Yao had also walked and seen every place she walked and the scenery she saw.
Before the train entered the station, Meng Yao took a photo on the platform. She didn't post it on Moments, she just saved the photo in her album.
It was late at night when we arrived in Beijing. The airport in Beijing was bustling with activity late at night. Meng Yao had been in Yunnan for a while, but he felt a little uncomfortable in such a noisy environment.
She got her luggage and walked out along the flow of people. Song Siqi and her boyfriend were waiting at the airport pick-up gate. When they saw Meng Yao from a distance, Song Siqi opened her arms as if waiting for a hug.
Meng Yao and Song Siqi haven't seen each other for a long time. Her boyfriend Meng Yao has heard about it and seen photos, but this is his first time meeting him.
Meng Yao hugged Song Siqi before looking at the man beside her.
Song Siqi's boyfriend looked very cheerful and took the initiative to say hello to Meng Yao: "Hello, Ji Yu."
Meng Yao also replied.
Song Siqi took the suitcase from Meng Yao's hand. She also carried a bag in her hand. Meng Yao said it was a specialty brought for her and she bought it casually. Song Siqi happily took it and handed it to Ji along with the suitcase. Yu.
She held Meng Yao's hand and walked with her, sometimes caring about Meng Yao's teaching work, sometimes talking about interesting things around her recently.
They have been friends for so many years. Although they don't get together often, time will not leave a gap between them and there are many topics to talk about.
Song Siqi booked a hotel for Meng Yao near where Ji Yu lived, saying it was convenient.
After leaving the airport and taking a taxi, Ji Yu put his luggage in the trunk, got into the passenger seat, and left the back seat for the two girls.
Meng Yao looked out the car window at the endless traffic on the road, took out his mobile phone and took a photo.
Song Siqi was used to Xu Yao's WeChat Moments mode and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to post on Moments?"
Meng Yao shook his head: "No."
But her finger subconsciously clicked on the circle of friends. Xu Yao only posted one update today. It was in the morning. There was no picture and he just said "Happy National Day".
Meng Yao had already seen this circle of friends on the high-speed rail. Not only that, she had actually received a message from Xu Yao while on the high-speed rail station.
This was their first contact after the Zhang Ping incident. Xu Yao sent her a separate "Happy National Day" message, and Meng Yao also replied to him saying "Happy National Day."
Xu Yao asked her again if the school had a seven-day holiday.
Meng Yao is right
She didn't take the opportunity to say that she was on her way to Beijing. She didn't say anything else after saying "yes". The topic seemed difficult to continue, and the chat finally stopped here.
In fact, Meng Yao didn't mean to create a cold situation, she just suddenly didn't know how to communicate with Xu Yao.
She looked back at the information from a while ago and realized that some of her ideas were quite immature.
Song Siqi came over and saw Meng Yao looking at Xu Yao's circle of friends again. She laughed, leaned on Meng Yao's shoulder and said, "I think you are really hopeless."
Meng Yao slid his finger on the screen, exited the WeChat page, smiled, and did not deny it.
When they arrived at the hotel, as soon as they got off the car, Song Siqi said that she would accompany Meng Yao tonight. She hadn't seen him for a long time and wanted to chat with Meng Yao. Ji Yu nodded and said yes, sent them to the room, said good night, and left quickly.
Lying in bed that night, Meng Yao wasn't sleepy because she slept on the plane for a while. It might also be because she was a little excited about coming to Beijing, a city that was special to her. In short, Meng Yao didn't fall asleep for a long time.
Song Siqi was sleepy, but because her desire for gossip was too strong, she slept next to Meng Yao and said, "Tell me the story between you and Xu Yao in detail from beginning to end."
Meng Yao pulled the quilt, the curtains in the room were tightly drawn, and the lights had just been turned off, and he couldn't see his fingers. Meng Yao said in the darkness: "Want to listen to a bedtime story?"
Song Siqi smiled and said, "That's right."
Meng Yao thought for a moment: "Actually, there's nothing special about it. In high school, except for the time I told you that he handed me an umbrella when it rained, we didn't have any interactions. Later, it was because of you. , I just had a few more face-to-face contacts with him.”
Meng Yao's tone was calm and relaxed.
"I was really surprised when I met him in Yunnan. It was such a coincidence. I feel that life is really like a movie script. The world is so big, and going around, some people actually have a chance to meet."
"The school where I teach will organize some left-behind children to read and write homework at school during the summer vacation. He happens to be helping at school as well, so we spend more time together."
Song Siqi had been curious for a long time, so she lay on her side and asked: "Then what did you feel when you met him in Yunnan?"
"Happy, complete, and grateful." Meng Yao replied without thinking, and then smiled unconsciously, "He was very good before, and I knew he would grow up very well. A few years later, when he stood in front of me again At that time, I found that he was better than I thought. Later I thought, yes, this is Xu Yao. Over the years, I have thought of him many times, and I have never once doubted that he would be frustrated in his life."
Song Siqi couldn't see Meng Yao's expression clearly, but he could imagine the firmness and softness in her eyes based on her tone.
She could not help but feel sorry for Meng Yao: "Why didn't you get a result for this relationship when you were in high school? Is it because you felt that this person was too unreachable?"
"At that time, I did feel that he was out of reach." Meng Yao said frankly, "Do you know what I often compare him to? The moon and stars."
"But the main thing is, there was something I wanted more at that time. I've always believed that love should be the icing on the cake, it's not a necessity, and the timing of having it is important."
"The reason why I compare him to the moon and stars is because in my eyes, he is very beautiful. He was my direction for a time, so I looked up to him willingly, but when it comes to liking him, I don't think I am too humble. .”
"Moreover," Meng Yao said, "I didn't think I was bad at that time, but now I have more courage to stand in front of him."
