Chapter 149 They've made up?
It's rare that we've finally been able to be honest with each other and admit our feelings; this is the first step the therapist helped me take.
If you want freedom, then do as you please; my doing as I please is Song Yafei.
Even though she did so many terrible things to me, I can't let go of our relationship of over ten years all at once.
To let go or to continue? Just let nature take its course.
"Sir and Madam, come out and have some soup!"
Song Yafei and I, unusually, put aside our differences, smiled at each other, and went downstairs together for soup.
I didn't stay that night and went back to my place.
Song Yafei said she would give me time. Even though she didn't want me to leave, I still went back in the end, with Liu Liu.
But when they got home, Liu Liu strangely squatted by the door, as if waiting for something.
At first I didn't understand, but later I started to guess.
I crouched down and gently stroked its little head. "You're waiting for your mom, aren't you? You already miss her even though we've only been apart for a short time?"
Woof—
Liu Liu called out, as if in response to me.
Even though I don't want to, I have to admit that because I've temporarily let go of the past, I've become much more relaxed and less resistant to my feelings for Song Yafei.
I smiled and ruffled its little head. "Okay, don't be upset. Mommy will be here tomorrow. Get some rest, okay?"
Liu Liu barked twice, then obediently returned to its cage; it was truly well-behaved.
The next day, I gave Professor Xie Song Yafei's contract and her funds, along with Mrs. Li's, together.
Senior Jiang Yi was also present at the time, and he was quite surprised that I resolved the matter so quickly.
Jiang Yi asked me with great concern, "Zhang Tian, did you agree to some conditions she set?"
Before I could reply, Professor Xie resolutely rejected Song Yafei's investment.
"If this collaboration requires sacrificing you, then I'd rather not hold this global exhibition at all, do you understand?"
I nodded to reassure them.
"Song Yafei didn't impose any conditions on me for this collaboration. It's a win-win situation for her, so why wouldn't she be happy to do it?"
I didn't want them to worry, and I didn't want to publicize my private affairs.
Song Yafei had no idea that her image in front of Professor Xie and Senior Jiang Yi was so unconvincing and completely lacked credibility.
Professor Xie and Senior Jiang Yi still didn't believe me. I explained it to them again and again and showed them the clauses in the contract one by one. Only then did they believe that what I said was true.
But Professor Xie was still a little worried. "Remember, you are my last disciple. I will never sacrifice anyone to complete the exhibition under any circumstances. If she has any additional conditions, I can call a halt at any time."
I am very happy to have Professor Xie defend me like this, but now that the funding issue has been resolved, the exhibition can continue.
When the people in the studio found out, they were all overjoyed and full of energy.
Just then, I received a call from Song Yafei.
She told me on the phone, "Today's partner is a farm, and they have a lot of fresh vegetables that have been sitting for a while."
"I think the orphanage would find it useful. I'm planning to send it there with Assistant Luo. Do you want to come?"
Are we going to an orphanage?
"Of course I'm going."
"Okay, I'll come pick you up."
"Okay, I'm at the studio. I'll go back first and take Liu Liu with me to relax. She misses you a lot."
Song Yafei laughed on the phone, "Really? Is it that it misses me, or that you miss me?"
That's so blunt, I don't know how to respond.
Song Yafei didn't insist on an answer. Seeing that I didn't speak, she continued.
"I'm at your place right now. I'll go up and bring it down, and then I'll come to your studio to pick you up later."
It turns out she had already gone to my place, but she was afraid of disturbing me, so she discussed it with me beforehand.
Her transformation has truly surprised and delighted me.
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yi stared at me in disbelief.
I couldn't stand his gaze any longer. "Senior, just say what you want to say."
As soon as I finished speaking, Senior Jiang asked me, "Was it President Song who called?"
I nodded.
"You two have made up?"
I thought about it for a moment, then shook my head.
We just talked it out.
Jiang Yi didn't believe me at all. "You were grinning from ear to ear while answering the phone, and you still say you haven't made up?"
I instinctively pursed my lips. "Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, look in the mirror yourself. You're all smiles now, completely different from your previous lifeless appearance."
is it?
Is it that obvious?
I don't think so.
Jiang Yi, the senior student, wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks to me, but Professor Xie stopped him. The professor was much more easygoing.
He said something thought-provoking.
"We are all ordinary people in this world, and it is inevitable that we will be entangled in emotions, separate and reunite, quarrel and argue. This is all unavoidable. Just find your true self."
The professor's words made me almost understand everything.
He just kept going around in circles, leaving Jiang Yi completely confused.
He wasn't convinced and still wanted to persuade the professor, even becoming somewhat angry.
"Who is that person? That's the shrewd President Song. Junior Brother Zhang Tian is a complete fool, a fool who keeps getting fooled. How could he possibly outmaneuver him?"
"You're a single guy, you don't understand the fun in this. You should find a girl to date, then your designs will resonate with more people."
When the topic of girlfriends came up, Jiang Yi fell silent instantly.
He'd never been in a relationship before and had no idea what it was like.
Professor Xie always says that Jiang Yi's designs lack emotion, and every time this comes up, Jiang Yi has an excuse.
It's not that he doesn't want to have a girlfriend, it's just that he can't find one that suits his taste.
He was completely focused on the work at the studio and had no time to pay attention to those pretentious women.
Seeing that Jiang Yi had been humiliated, I didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye to the two of them, I went downstairs to wait for Song Yafei.
I was downstairs for a short while when Song Yafei's car arrived.
As I got into the car, Liu Liu jumped into my arms. Song Yafei teased it with a smile, "What, you don't want your mom anymore now that you see your dad?"
When I heard her talk about her parents before, I still felt a little strange.
But this time, I actually felt a touch of sweetness in it.
When they arrived at the orphanage, they were surprised to meet Hu Mei.
We haven't seen each other since we last met at the hospital.
I heard that she was the one who handled the hospital director's discharge this time.
At the time, I was still busy with Lin Qiuran's affairs, but fortunately she was there for me.
The headmistress has recovered quite a bit. When we arrived, she was sitting in the yard sunbathing, with a blanket covering her legs.
Upon seeing us, they beamed with joy and, knowing the purpose of our visit, immediately ordered their belongings to be unloaded.
When we were unloading the things, I realized that there were not only vegetables and fruits as Song Yafei had mentioned, but also many toys.
