After that, neither of them brought up the matter again.0
After the meal, Bai Yinyue called a driver and bid farewell to the two.0
She left rather hurriedly, unlike the previous few times when she would say a proper goodbye to Zhong Ruanxing and confess her feelings before leaving.0
Zhong Ruanxing actually understood her feelings very well. When she was in school and got her first period in class, the class monitor had rushed over to cover her with a school jacket. She still remembered how the monitor had seemed like a superhero to her at that moment.0
She knew too well how panicked and helpless the person would feel in such a situation.0
Today, no matter who the person was, acquaintance or stranger, she would do the same thing when she saw it happen.0
It just so happened that Bai Yinyue had feelings for her. With how she had helped her today, Bai Yinyue was probably even more smitten with her now.0
When she got home that night and called Song Jinxing, she worriedly told him about it, "Should I make up a first love story about White Moonlight, saying that you're waiting for her return and want to remain chaste for her? What do you think?"0
Song Jinxing: "..." He was silent for a few seconds. "You can just tell her directly that I have a girlfriend."0
"Huh?" Zhong Ruanxing sat up in bed. "Who is she? Where? When?"0
Song Jinxing glanced at Zhong You beside him playing with bugs, then got up and walked out to the balcony. The autumn night wind already carried a chill. Standing here, he could see Miaoman's reflection through the glass window of the balcony.0
He wanted to say something but ultimately didn't say anything. He only said, "Anyway, it's made up. Might as well directly make her give up."0
Zhong Ruanxing felt strangely relieved for some reason, and lay back down on the bed. "I thought of that too, but don't the people around you know whether you have a girlfriend or not? If she insists on asking who my girlfriend is, how do I answer?"0
Song Jinxing said, "It's you."0
The person who had just lain down bolted up again. "Huh?"0
Song Jinxing smiled silently, but his tone was still as calm as usual. "I thought about it. We don't know when we'll be able to switch back, so we might as well confirm our relationship. That would not only facilitate future contact but also help ward off a lot of trouble for each other."0
Zhong Ruanxing's eyes widened, and she was stunned for a long time before asking, "Are you serious?"0
Song Jinxing said, "Yes."0
Zhong Ruanxing screamed silently in her heart, but the calm voice from the phone quickly calmed her down again.0
No, this wasn't a confession.0
Confirming a relationship, as he had put it, was only to make life more convenient for them both in the future, to give them a more justified reason to interact in front of others. She could help him reject Bai Yinyue, and he could also help ward off the rotten peach blossoms in the entertainment industry for her.0
It was a win-win policy that suited Song Jinxing's consistent style.0
Zhong Ruanxing couldn't say how she felt right now, but had to admit that for a moment earlier, her heart had stirred. But that was just her one-sided delusion. How could she fantasize that someone with emotional detachment would propose a relationship because of feelings?0
