It was nearly eleven o'clock on Sunday night. Office workers after a short weekend should go to bed early and get up early. Yang Jingxing thought of calling He Peiyuan again.

He Peiyuan probably hadn't rested yet, so she answered the phone quickly: "Hello, what are you doing?"

It is rare for Yang Jingxing to hear such a gentle tone now, which may make him feel even more ashamed: "What happened during the day..."

He Peiyuan did not let the silence be too obvious, and took the initiative to ask: "What? What do you want to ask? Is it Lao Qi?" She seemed willing to tell everything.

Yang Jingxing said: "No... I wasn't telling you at that time. I had something to tell you."

"Oh..." He Peiyuan seemed to have forgotten this: "What?"

Yang Jingxing was very apologetic: "My brain was a little short-circuited at the time... Don't take it personally. I apologize to you."

"Oh!" He Peiyuan was obviously relieved: "It's okay, it's okay."

Yang Jingxing was not only relieved, but also grateful: "That's good... Then it's okay. You can rest early."

He Peiyuan confirmed: "Will you go there tomorrow afternoon?"

Yang Jingxing replied, "I also made an appointment with Lu Zhi. I'll go to his place first and then I'll see you."

He Peiyuan looked welcoming: "Okay... Monday is the most beautiful time. Everyone must have bought new clothes. Everyone is richer than the other."

Yang Jingxing said: "...well, the eighteenth transformation of women."

"Already old! Still eighteen." He Peiyuan was very angry, and then said: "Lao Qi, Feifei, and I are here this afternoon. Lao Qi has seven thousand or eight thousand today, and he has a particularly beautiful set...that kind of color-blocking skirt, really

Very beautiful.”

Yang Jingxing replied: "...her little salary."

He Peiyuan said: "It's okay, but she has a rather vicious look... Actually, it's okay. I don't know what you are talking about, but Lao Qi is fine and nothing is wrong." A relaxed tone seems to enhance credibility.

Yang Jingxing said: "That's good."

He Peiyuan was a bit troubled: "I think she really meant it as a joke at the time... Maybe Tao Meng might have misunderstood it at the time."

Yang Jingxing replied: "Yes, it's a misunderstanding."

He Peiyuan suddenly realized her worry: "You didn't blame Lao Qi, did you?"

"No." Yang Jingxing was self-aware: "I don't have any position to blame her, she didn't do anything."

Still silent for a moment, He Peiyuan also expressed a little regret: "The main reason is that you didn't tell her. I was very surprised at the time...but it's not surprising either."

Yang Jingxing couldn't answer the question: "Let's not talk about this anymore."

He Peiyuan said: "I want to ask you something, if you want to say it, just say it."

Yang Jingxing Yeah.

He Peiyuan's voice was a little lower, as if she was trying to spy on some gossip: "This matter, Internet Security, did it happen to Lao Qi's family? Her mother."

Yang Jingxing hesitated for a moment: "...Yes, it was Qi Qingnuo who helped and Hui Jufen helped. How did you know?"

He Peiyuan was so proud: "I've sensed it a long time ago...She even attacked and ridiculed you this morning, otherwise she wouldn't have done it."

Yang Jingxing said: "You can't tell others because it will affect her image and reputation."

"You still don't believe in my organizational skills?" He Peiyuan was quite angry, "You have guessed it a long time ago."

Yang Jingxing uttered a vague modal word, close to um.

He Peiyuan seemed to be able to guess: "Yu Xinting and Tao Meng must have come back on a special trip too!"

"Yes..." Yang Jingxing said in an uncertain tone, "Everyone helped... You also helped a lot."

"Don't talk about me!" He Peiyuan protested: "What about Ruirui and the others... Is Yu Xinting gone?"

Yang Jingxing said, "We should be arriving in Tokyo soon."

He Peiyuan was very gossipy: "You haven't reconciled yet?"

Yang Jingxing didn't know what to say: "It's almost... I can say a few words."

He Peiyuan expressed her understanding: "There must be feelings, not love... Of course she will be anxious when you encounter such a thing, no matter what."

Yang Jingxing was amused: "This is the true sect of harming others but not benefiting oneself."

"You can't say that." He Peiyuan's objection was not strong: "...Maybe you are not very good at handling this kind of thing."

Yang Jingxing didn't care about the blow: "Yes, not at all."

He Peiyuan became even more serious: "You were in a panic at the time... Do you know why this happened?"

Yang Jingxing wanted to hear the details: "Huh?"

He Peiyuan is a bit like a relationship consultant. Her tone of voice is: "The most important thing is your own mentality. You don't think of them as ordinary friends... Why can you be so indifferent to anything else? You think about it yourself."

Yang Jingxing replied: "...After all, there was a time."

"Not only in the past!" He Peiyuan solemnly reminded: "Including now...why do so many people say that after a breakup, it is impossible to be friends again, at least not that kind of good friend. The deeper the relationship, the less likely it is."

Yang Jingxing still said: "It's not impossible... but it's more difficult than imagined."

"Yes." He Peiyuan was not sure: "You may care too much about other people's feelings... Use friendship to make up for the shortcomings of love, which is wrong. In fact, sometimes shortcomings are also a kind of beauty... What a chicken soup."

Yang Jingxing chuckled: "Chicken soup is also right..."

Expert He continued: "Do you know why?"

Yang Jingxing didn't know: "Why?"

"Because the shortcomings are real, the feelings are real!" He Peiyuan was so condescending: "The real relationship ended or was interrupted, otherwise it would not be regarded as a regret... So sincerity is the most important, no matter love or friendship."

Yang Jingxing seemed to have learned something: "Yes."

He Peiyuan seemed to be pleased that the people she consulted were more on the road: "So, why should we make up for a real regret in a nondescript way, but instead lose the most precious thing."

Yang Jingxing said: "Thank you."

"Oh." He Peiyuan teased again: "Let's discuss..."

Yang Jingxing said: "The motive for making amends is actually that I don't want to lose the most precious thing...or to seal it up."

"I was about to say!" He Peiyuan was almost excited: "So you have to think clearly about what you don't want to lose the most, or who it is?"

Yang Jingxing was silent.

He Peiyuan encouraged: "If you think about this problem clearly, what you get will be true, whether it is regret... or perfection. Or both."

Yang Jingxing remained silent.

He Peiyuan knew that Yang Jingxing was listening: "I dare not say who still likes you or can't let you go. In fact, Lao Qi may not necessarily mean this when she helps you, but it doesn't mean that she is not interested in you... In short, your own thoughts are

the most important."

Yang Jingxing said: "I know what you mean."

He Peiyuan hasn't finished speaking: "You have to think things through clearly, and... you have to implement it, not only for yourself, but also for others. In fact, it is all mutual."

Yang Jingxing replied, "You're right...have you ever had plastic surgery?"

"What?" He Peiyuan was confused, and then said angrily: "Don't be biased against beautiful women, okay... Those who have never been in love are all experts at arm's length. This is called bystander's wisdom."

Yang Jingxing chuckled: "Anyway, thank you."

"You're welcome, let's discuss it." He Peiyuan suddenly giggled: "Don't tell anyone what we talked about... No matter who you choose, I don't want to be hated by others."

"I'm not qualified to choose anyone." Yang Jingxing's mind was wide open: "I want to ask you a question..."

"Ask." He Peiyuan said readily.

Yang Jingxing actually didn't even pause: "Suppose you were my girlfriend...can you tolerate what I do?"

He Peiyuan was silent.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Even hypotheticals won't work?"

"No." He Peiyuan didn't seem to be disgusted: "...concrete issues should be dealt with in detail. You spoke too generally. How did you do it?"

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "For example, you have a good friend who is also a beautiful woman. I like to tease her..."

"So ugly!" He Peiyuan protested: "How did you tease me? When!? We have made a few small jokes after knowing each other for such a long time... Just control the tone."

Yang Jingxing didn't believe it: "You talk so easily now, but you gave me so many looks."

"That's me!" He Peiyuan argued with reason: "Lao Qi has never been angry... The key is, you can't be sneaky, you can't lie to me, you can't do little tricks behind my back... I think you are quite honest with Lao Qi, what?

Tell her everything."

Yang Jingxing felt ashamed: "It's not a confession... If it were you, could you tolerate my relationship with Yu Xinting?"

"I don't know your specifics..." He Peiyuan was in a dilemma and almost complained: "How do I know... In short, communication is the most important thing. If I have any ideas, I will definitely tell you... But it turns out that you and Yu Xinting went too far.

It’s close…if I tell you I don’t like this, will you change it?”

Yang Jingxing sighed a little: "Now it's only after the fact..."

He Peiyuan asked: "Have you seriously said this? Have you ever argued about this matter?" Although times have changed, she still sounded concerned.

Yang Jingxing said: "Nono has given me many opportunities, but I haven't grasped them."

He Peiyuan really insisted: "...Then, I can give it again."
To be continued...
