Before leaving, Xiao Jin brought two cups of coffee and a glass of sweet water.

Ye Kong lowered his eyes, picked up the cup, took a sip, and put it down.

Then he looked at the woman opposite him: "Song Zhixu?"

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly: "What do you want to say?"

"What position are you in to say these things to me?"

"What?"

"..." Ye Kong's mouth curled up, but there was no smile at all, "Every word - after all, you know, if you hadn't insisted on sticking to my boyfriend, I wouldn't even look at you, let alone listen to your nonsense."

"You are so rude. I thought people who study art should have some manners."

The woman was slightly angry: "You ask me what my position is? Teacher Chi is our sister's benefactor, of course I stand on Teacher Chi's side -"

"Oh?" Ye Kong raised his eyebrows, "You mean you want to be Wen Can's mother?"

"...What are you talking about! I mean...didn't you even learn elementary school Chinese well?!" Song Zhixu almost slammed the table and stared at Ye Kong with a red face, "What I mean is that Teacher Chi is my benefactor. Of course I hope her son can be happy and have a girlfriend who is well-educated and worthy of him! Instead of him dealing with several men like you..."

"Miss Song!"

It was Wen Can who interrupted her.

The man's eyebrows were slightly cold, and the sunlight coming in through the window fell on his nose, giving people the illusion of being cut by ice: "I don't like others to speculate about my girlfriend casually."

"How can this be called random speculation?" Song Zhixu seemed stunned for a moment, "We clearly saw and heard it together. That man clearly..."

"Even if there are other men who like her, it only proves that she is a very charming person." Wen Can didn't look at her, but only looked up at Ye Kong who was staring at him without blinking, and smiled, "But such a person is only my girlfriend - isn't this my luck?"

Song Zhixu choked for a long time before looking at Ye Kong unwillingly: "Ms. Ye, I hope you can live up to Wen Can's trust..."

"This is our business and has nothing to do with you." Ye Kong didn't even look at her.

"..." Song Zhixu turned to look at Wen Can, "Teacher Chi's things are in my dormitory, do you want to go with me to get them now?"

"..." This time Ye Kong didn't say anything else.

Her boyfriend went to the girls' dormitory to wait for someone or something - although it sounded unpleasant, she was very clear about Ms. Chi's importance.

The girl lowered her eyelashes and silently stirred the sugar water in the cup. The stirred water created transparent ripples of light, which fell on her soft, white cheeks and red lips. Although she still looked cold and indifferent, one could somehow sense that she was unhappy - like a cat.

Wen Can thought so, but said calmly: "No need, I'll ask Secretary Fei to go there later."

"...But," Song Zhixu opened his mouth and said, "I'm afraid I can't tell some of the notes apart. I need you to identify Mr. Chi's handwriting."

Wen Can sighed slightly: "Forget it then."

Song Zhixu's eyes widened: "What do you mean by forget it?"

"Either you send me all the books that need to be identified, and I'll sort them out and return the ones that belong to you. Or... these were originally gifts from my mother to your sister, so maybe it's best for them to remain with you."

Ye Kong suddenly looked up at him.

Song Zhixu was so surprised that he stood up: "You don't want it anymore? I still have the photos your mother sent me!"

Ye Kong also stared at her.

Wen Can lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. When her neck was slightly lowered, her entire profile was extremely elegant and beautiful, reminding people of the precious porcelain placed under spotlights and glass covers in a museum.

"If it's such a hassle to get it back," Porcelain said, "then I don't want it."

"What's the problem?" Song Zhixu's eyes widened. "You didn't find it troublesome when you kept coming to my house a few days ago..."

She subconsciously felt that it was not good to say this, the line sounded like a green tea, but at the same time, there was an indescribable sense of refreshment creeping up her throat, making her involuntarily pay attention to Ye Kong's expression with her peripheral vision, and the latter really responded as she subconsciously expected.

"Go to your house?" The girl looked up at him, smiling, "Still getting older?"

Before Wen Can opened his mouth, Song Zhixu spoke first: "You have been dating several men, so why can't Wen Can and I have normal relationships? Besides, he came to my house just to take Teacher Chi's old things."

After saying that, she smiled again: "You are not jealous, are you? If you are jealous of Wen Can and my relationship, then do you also admit that you are with those two men..."

Snapped--

The coffee cup made a crisp sound when it was placed on the table, and Wen Can's face turned completely cold: "Miss Song."

Ye Kong, who was about to speak, fell silent immediately upon seeing this.

Song Zhixu also stopped talking immediately and looked at Ye Kong with some reluctance.

But Wen Can didn't stop there.

"Ye Kong, there is no need to be jealous of us, because there is really no ambiguity between you and me. Before you took the initiative to call out my name, I had no memory of your existence at all. Regarding your family, I only remember that your sister was my mother's student, and you, I don't even know you."

Song Zhixu's face turned pale, and he looked at Wen Can in disbelief: "You..."

Wen Can didn't even look at her, and just said quietly: "And I didn't go to your house either. To be precise, I was just waiting downstairs for you to bring down my mother's old things. Even this was something you took the initiative to propose, and I agreed out of excitement, but now, I find that there is actually no need to go there in person."

He then looked at the stunned Song Zhixu and said slowly: "After all, if you really want to give me something, you won't set any necessary conditions. If you don't really want to give me something, but want to borrow my mother's old things and ask me to do something... I don't think my mother would be happy to have her things become a hindrance to me, what do you think?"

"...What?" Song Zhixu was obviously flustered. His eyes wandered around, but a look of grievance appeared on his face. "What do you mean by being a hindrance to you? I obviously meant well..."

Her eyes wandered for a while, and suddenly she seemed to have figured something out. She looked at Wen Can fiercely, trying to open her eyes wide, as if to fully express her sincerity: "Wen Can, I really hope you can be happy - you know that Teacher Chi left too hastily. My sister had just gone abroad not long ago. After hearing the news, she hurried back, but she couldn't even catch up with the funeral. In the end, she could only take me to the grave to kowtow a few times - do you know how sad she cried?"

She said: "My sister wanted to visit you, but at that time... you were also in the hospital, and the Wen family didn't allow us to visit. Afterwards, my sister sent you two letters that Teacher Chi had written in the past. The letters mentioned a lot about you. She wanted to keep it as a memorial for you, but you never replied..."

She looked really sad and sincere, immersed in it, so she didn't notice Wen Can's expressionless and almost cold face.

Only Ye Kong was looking at him.

Watching the sunlight penetrate the glass and fall on Wen Can, it seemed to penetrate him as well - just like penetrating an ice sculpture without a heartbeat.
