Yang Jingxing carefully filled the bowl of soup, including two pieces of fish maw, two pieces of ham, and a piece of chicken. He placed it in front of He Peiyuan and warned: "Be careful of scalding."

He Peiyuan had no reaction.

Yang Jingxing was very polite: "I don't know what you like to eat. Just order two dishes and we'll cook them once."

He Peiyuan glanced at Yang Jingxing and said, "Don't do this on purpose."

Yang Jingxing was angry: "You have already thought about it, but I am thinking in another direction. You have to give me some time to adapt to the 180-degree U-turn, right?"

He Peiyuan probably felt that what the other party said made sense, so she didn't find fault and went to eat the food: "...you eat it."

Yang Jingxing picked up his bowl and thought about something.

"Okay." He Peiyuan continued to persuade: "Eat...tomorrow you will feel that the sea and the sky are brighter. There are so many beautiful junior girls at the beginning of school!"

"No." Yang Jingxing pointed to his mouth: "Why do I feel that these things are not worthy of my mouth."

He Peiyuan turned away, looking annoyed.

"Am I bloated?" Yang Jingxing wondered: "Why do I feel like this? I suddenly feel that I should learn to play a wind instrument, and I will definitely be successful."

"You should go on a hunger strike from now on!" He Peiyuan was sarcastic, and suddenly put on a pleading look: "Can you just think of it as helping me? If you really like me, I'll beg you!" Her eyelashes trembled.

Yang Jingxing immediately restrained himself: "I have a little inertia. Seeing you making such a fuss... Okay, let's eat."

He Peiyuan watched Yang Jingxing put a piece of ribs into his mouth as if under surveillance before looking away. It was obvious that the scoundrel no longer had any credibility with her.

Yang Jingxing said while eating: "Then I can't call you tonight unless there are special circumstances."

He Peiyuan nodded: "...could there be any special circumstances."

Yang Jingxing thought: "Should we still go to Nanjing Road?"

He Peiyuan shook her head: "I'll go by myself tomorrow without bringing a camera."

Yang Jingxing thought: "A mobile phone is fine, but it's not easy to do it alone."

He Peiyuan was impatient: "I'll go alone!"

Yang Jingxing was obviously restraining himself and took a deep breath: "...Okay, you can go alone."

Finally getting the good news, He Peiyuan took the spoon and lowered her head to drink the soup.

Yang Jingxing was not able to draw inferences at all, so he asked again: "What about the two gifts I saved..."

He Peiyuan had already thought about it: "Keep it for yourself or give it away, it's up to you."

Yang Jingxing was angry: "How can you give it away...forget it, I'll keep it, just think I like this kind of thing."

He Peiyuan didn't care.

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Don't you want the photo? I'll keep it."

He Peiyuan hesitated and decided: "I'll take it home."

Yang Jingxing sighed: "Okay... I don't think it's possible. I just reminded myself three or four times that I really like you! It's definitely counterproductive to keep repeating this."

He Peiyuan swallowed her food with an expression as if she had swallowed a bitter pill, and then she held the bowl and chopsticks almost motionless, as if she was thinking about life.

Yang Jingxing said: "You can't just rely on you to criticize and educate. I also need to be self-conscious."

He Peiyuan looked at Yang Jingxing with hope, but seemed to be afraid of some kind of trap.

Yang Jingxing thought for a moment: "Let's do this. I'll try my best not to cross the line in the future, but you also have to pay attention to your methods. You can't just follow the wind and rain. It's not good to be too deliberate or overcorrect. It will cause backlash, even if you let others watch.

It looks good, but you have to save some face for me...what do you think?"

He Peiyuan did not express her position easily: "What do you think is not overkill?"

"A normal relationship between friends..." Yang Jingxing gave an example: "If I come to your place again and treat me as a guest, you can't do anything special, right?"

He Peiyuan nodded: "That's no problem."

Yang Jingxing added: "When I was doing art, if I asked you seriously, you wouldn't ignore me, right?"

He Peiyuan frowned: "I'm not that unreasonable."

Yang Jingxing was still worried: "Tong Yichun still wants to hold another concert. She is really nostalgic. You can't just do it because of me..."

He Peiyuan nodded: "Yes, as long as I am the same as Xiaojie."

Yang Jingxing also cheered up: "Okay, let's eat."

The two of them ate in silence for two minutes before He Peiyuan spoke: "Go and make it clear to Lao Qi. I can tell Wang Rui, it's up to you."

Yang Jingxing was a little pitiful: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, it's only been a few days..."

He Peiyuan said seriously: "I don't want others to think that I am doing some dirty tricks behind my back."

Yang Jingxing was wronged: "Even if I'm still chasing you, I won't be embarrassed, right? I should tell her that I'm chasing you. What's the point of telling her if I can't catch you? Are you asking for sympathy? I don't think it's necessary."

He Peiyuan seemed to be hesitating.

Yang Jingxing added: "You also said that people's hearts will change over time, and everyone will naturally know what's going on in the future. I will never again force you to board a pirate ship when I get off work, and I will never betray Liu Miao and Xiaxue again.

Such a dirty thing to do to help."

He Peiyuan pouted: "You still know?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Isinglass is okay, eat more."

He Peiyuan gave face: "...You don't have to be deliberate, but you have to let them know as soon as possible."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "It's best if you don't do it deliberately. I believe time will prove... I also said that I would go see Mr. Ding with you the day after tomorrow. It's hard to explain now."

He Peiyuan panicked: "Did you say that?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I didn't say you were my girlfriend, I just said I would go with you. The old man is quite happy... Actually, it's time for 306 to send a representative."

He Peiyuan thought: "If Lao Qi is inconvenient, you can go with the blind man."

Yang Jingxing was so tacky: "What does it mean for the deputy leader to go?"

He Peiyuan was also in a dilemma: "...If you want to invite Lao Qi, she should agree."

Yang Jingxing said: "I tried it shortly after we separated, but I didn't agree."

He Peiyuan is optimistic: "It may be different now."

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I bring greetings to you every time."

He Peiyuan asked: "Second Symphony?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "It's mainly to visit and have a chat by the way."

He Peiyuan asked: "Is it completed?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Ninety percent, some soft decoration is left. It will probably take another twenty or thirty hours. Please complete your tasks first."

He Peiyuan reminded: "Your energy is too scattered now. When others create large-scale music, they devote themselves to it regardless of worldly matters..."

Yang Jingxing is shameless: "My art comes from life."

He Peiyuan asked: "Then what did it come from this time?"

Yang Jingxing said: "There are so many, just put them together randomly."

"Walking with you?" He Peiyuan was not sure: "Really?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head and nodded: "It's a little bit... the motive of your song was used. You will know it when you listen to it. I originally thought of inviting you to the performance."

He Peiyuan thought for a moment and frowned: "It's too unserious... Is the Philharmonic performing there?"

"Of course." Yang Jingxing boasted, "Even the conductor is looking forward to it."

He Peiyuan curled her lips and rolled her eyes: "...it's only been a few days, how can you force the motive into it without destroying the original idea?"

Yang Jingxing laughed: "This motive was first used in the symphony."

He Peiyuan asked: "Is there a piano this time?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No piano, string section."

He Peiyuan thought about it again: "Whatever you want... I knew you were up to something. Such a good melody must not have come from a sudden inspiration, and you still pretended to me." She didn't blame her too much, it was just a bit of ridicule.

Yang Jingxing said: "But this motive appears for you. After a motive develops into a movement, there will be a completely different song. It can't be done without some inspiration and impulse."

He Peiyuan smiled: "It's hard for you. If you had known better, you wouldn't have wasted this energy, right?"

Yang Jingxing said: "This motive appeared before I chased you."

He Peiyuan didn't seem to be shy or resentful. It seemed that she had an artistic vision: "Why? Because I happened to be there that day?"

Yang Jingxing thought for a moment and shook his head: "If I don't talk about this, I'll be self-conscious."

He Peiyuan pouted: "Rare."

Yang Jingxing protested: "I finally managed to keep my bottom line, why don't you praise me and still be sarcastic?"

He Peiyuan coaxed a child: "Okay, praise."

Yang Jingxing sighed: "Why do I want this bitter praise?"

He Peiyuan chuckled: "...Then you created dozens of motives for them?"
