set fire to his heart

"It was you who killed that Song Xiya."

Song Xiya said it lightly, but every word was pierced into Shen Shili's heart with sharp thorns.

The pupils behind the pair of lenses suddenly shrank and turned gray when they heard what she said clearly.

"..." He felt stuck in his throat, unable to speak.

Looking at his darkened eyes, the corners of Song Xiya's lips raised again.

Her body was still shrouded in thin smoke, which dissipated with the flow of time and air.

A faint smell of smoke remains.

The woman in front of her is so real, familiar yet unfamiliar.

Song Xiya dropped the cigarette in her hand.

She raised her red lips and looked at him with a half-smile: "I heard that you regretted it? After I left, you realized that you have been missing the past these few years, and you even want to chase me back?"

Her straightforward words made Shen Shili's Adam's apple slip.

He swallowed hard and admitted, "Yes."

"Ah."

Song Xiya was teased by him, and looked at him with bright eyes: "What? You didn't cherish them when you were together, and regretted it after you separated?"

"Do you love her, or do you love her infatuation with you? After she left, no woman will treat you like that again, so you regret it?"

Song Xiya directly poked his sore spot: "Shen Shili, belated affection is lighter than grass, do you know this truth?"

She spoke bluntly and poked at his sore spots.

"know."

"Then you shouldn't have these unnecessary fantasies about me anymore." Song Xiya told him, "I don't love you anymore, and I can't treat you like I used to, so..."

Song Xiya didn't finish her sentence, but was interrupted by Shen Shili: "So, let me chase you this time, okay?"

He stood in front of her with a dignified expression and a solemn tone.

Shen Shili said every word firmly, and the pupils behind the glasses stared at her sharply and deeply.

Seeing that he was not affected by her words, he expressed his opinion to her in turn.

A momentary surprise flashed across Song Xiya's expression.

Then, she looked at him with great interest and said, "Even if I don't love you anymore, do you still plan to do so?"

"Yes."

Shen Shili nodded: "It was me who used to escape from reality, and it was me who couldn't face up to my heart. This time, I want to choose you firmly. Shia, I don't need you to do anything for me, let me come from now on, okay ?"

"You just stand there and wait for me, let me walk towards you."

His thin lips parted slightly, and he expressed his heart to Song Xiya solemnly.

Shen Shili's eyes were serious, and the amber pupils reflected her in front of him.

Looking at himself in his eyes.

Sensing his firm attitude, Song Xiya raised her red lips lightly.

"Even if I become like this?" She raised her eyebrows and reminded him, "The me now is no longer the idiot who would hang around you before."

"No matter what you become, as long as you are still Song Xiya, I will recognize you."

Shen Shili emphasized to her again.

His jaw line was tense, and his hands that hung down his legs were also clenched.

"is it?"

Song Xiya took out the cigarette case calmly, her vermilion nails made her fingertips as pale as scallions.

She took out a cigarette, brought it to her lips and pressed it lightly, then took out a delicate lighter and lit it.

In front of Shen Shili.

Song Xiya smoked again elegantly and calmly.

Her side face is enchanting and charming, and her makeup and hair are mature and beautiful.

After lightly exhaling a puff of smoke ring, Song Xiya glanced at Shen Shili, and said with a smile, "That depends on your performance."

***
In the ward.

After Shen Shili left, only Mia and Shen Siqing were left.

Facing the food on the table.

They no longer have any appetite to eat.

Shen Siqing burrowed into Mia's arms, longing for more hugs from her, acting very insecure.

The atmosphere is silent and somewhat subtle.

"Madam..."

Shen Siqing was held in Mia's arms by her.

He put his hands around her neck, buried his face in her chest, and asked in a muffled voice: "That lady... is it my mother... her son... is it me..."

Shen Siqing's voice became softer and softer.

And Mia's heart became heavier and heavier because of his inquiry.

She hugged his hands involuntarily tightly.

No.

Mia really wanted to tell him, but when these two words came to her throat, she couldn't say a single word.

How can she prove that she is not?
Now both grandma and Shen Shili think she is Song Xiya.

She denied at this time that after instilling this kind of thought in the child, if the child preconceived it and then revealed it...

If Shen Shili finds out, will she become the second Lin Zhiqing?
He will think that she is plotting something wrong, that she has other plans.

What if she, like Lin Zhiqing, was controlled and banned from approaching Shen Siqing?
Will it just fall right into the arms of that Song Xiya?

She is so eager to meet her elders, friends, ex and son in one day... It's hard to say what her purpose is.

But no matter what it was, it was a fact that she pretended to be Song Xiya.

Although she can't get in touch with Louis right now, and she can't investigate the fire for the time being, she can find an opportunity to collect evidence—to prove that she is not Song Xiya.

As long as it is proved that she is not Song Xiya, that Song Xiya will no longer be able to deceive her.

Her behavior is self-defeating, no matter what she wants to do, she can't do it!
Mia was thinking secretly in her heart.

At this moment, Song Xiya's voice sounded again outside the door: "Mia seems to be very distressed, is it because of my son's illness?"

Mia, who was still in deep thought, suddenly withdrew her thoughts.

She looked towards the door.

I saw Song Xiya and Shen Shili returning to the ward together.

Meeting her gaze, she chuckled and walked in: "I know, you can definitely cure my son's illness. I believe in you, and I am very relieved of you."

Song Xiya spoke lightly, but every word made Mia's heart shudder.

Although to outsiders, there was nothing wrong with her words, but she - she knew her identity, but she kept her mouth shut and called Shen Siqing her son.

And with this, she is certain that she will cure him.

She knew very well how important he was to her, and he was her weakness.

Looking at Song Xiya's playful eyes, Mia's whole body was covered with displeasure.

She clenched her fists slightly, and glared at Song Xiya with a pointed look in her eyes.

But in an instant.

A thought flashed through Mia's mind.

While restraining her sharpness, she smiled at Song Xiya and said: "The young master's treatment has just started, just to be on the safe side, Miss Song needs to provide some more blood as a reserve. Look, is it possible?"

When Mia's voice fell, Song Xiya was slightly startled.
