Along the way, Ning Tongxi no longer spoke. Sitting in the back seat, she continued to watch the scenery outside the window. However, Uncle Tong, on the other hand, wasn't he just looking at Ning Tongxi's expression from the rearview mirror? Not far away, Uncle Tong brought Ning Tongxi to a stop below Ji Siqi's office. Ning Tongxi looked at the sun outside and said to Uncle Tong: "Don't wait for me, I'll go back by myself tonight."

"Yes, miss." The Uncle Tong had already recovered his calm expression. He watched as Ning Tongxi walked into the building before slowly driving away.

With such thoughts in her mind, Ning Tongxi walked up to the second floor and lightly knocked on Ji Siqi's office door.

"Come in." Ji Siqi's voice seemed to have not been heard for a long time.

Ning Tongxi lowered his head and pushed the door open. Ji Siqi was at the desk copying an ancient painting. Ji Siqi raised his head and looked at Ning Tongxi, a smile spreading across his face, and said: "Wait for me, after I finish drawing, we will talk about your thesis."

"No rush, won't I be disturbing your drawing?" Ning Tongxi asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"No, no, sit down first." Ji Siqi raised his chin and indicated for Ning Tongxi to sit in front of him.

Ning Tongxi smiled indifferently as she sat opposite to Ji Siqi. She extended her hand to support her chin as she watched Ji Siqi draw.

"I didn't think you'd be here by this time. I thought you'd come in the afternoon!" As Ji Siqi drew, he smiled and said, "So, I'm going to start drawing first."

Ning Tongxi squinted her eyes, and laughed somewhat embarrassedly: "Are you saying that I woke up late?"

Ji Siqi sighed with a smile: "No, no, anyway I don't have anything to do today, you can come anytime!"

"Oh, thank you for helping me!" Ning Tongxi shrugged her shoulders and said: "Otherwise, I really don't know how I would have graduated!"

"Sigh, it's a small matter. You said that I wanted you to be my assistant before, so no matter what, I have to let you graduate! " Ji Siqi said as he drew.

"But I didn't help you at all!" Ning Tongxi said embarrassedly: "What did you draw?"

Ji Siqi focused on drawing a few strokes, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Huang Gongsheng's Landscape."

"Oh, you're so awesome!" Ning Tongxi looked at Ji Siqi's calligraphy stroke with envy, and said indifferently: "Actually, I've drawn one before."

"You can paint too?" Ji Siqi asked as he raised his head happily to look at Ning Tongxi.

"Yes, I learned it when I was young. However, most of the drawings I drew were just illustrations. I drew them casually." Ning Tongxi stuck her tongue out and said.

"That's great! This one is borrowed from the library and will be returned after I've copied it. Recently, I've been quite engrossed with that drawing you mentioned. If you have time, teach me! " Ji Siqi said with a smile.

"Alright, that won't be a problem. However, with just my skills, I'm afraid that you'll die laughing." As Ning Tongxi said this, she unconsciously smiled at herself.

"Painting! Ji Siqi smiled as he looked at Ning Tongxi, full of happiness. He subconsciously asked: "What are you so busy with these past few days?"

Ning Tongxi suddenly raised her head and looked at Ji Siqi who was focused on drawing, and said with a tinge of sadness: "My mother passed away!"

Ji Siqi's brush stopped in mid air for a moment, retracting the smile on his face, and said: "Sorry."

"Un, it's alright. I'm much better now. " Ning Tongxi said with a smile, maybe Ning Tongxi no longer wanted to discuss this topic, and said indifferently: "What is your relationship with Sheng Angsi?"

"Oh, we should be good friends, the kind that grow up with each other." Ji Siqi could see how sad Ning Tongxi was. Since Ning Tongxi no longer wanted to continue the conversation, it would be easier to change the topic.

"Then have you two been together all this time?" Ning Tongxi asked as she looked at Ji Siqi curiously.

"Un, more or less. We met in England, when he and his mother had just arrived, and although they had brought a lot of money with them, they had no acquaintances or acquaintances. It just so happens that I am in the same school as Sheng Angsi. Honestly speaking, I am also one person, so not only have I taken care of them, mother and son, I have also received quite a bit of care from them as well. " Ji Siqi said with a smile.

"But I think I heard him say that he and his mother didn't live together?" Ning Tongxi asked curiously.

"Oh, that was after we went to university. The two of us went to another city to study, so Auntie and I separated." Ji Siqi smiled and said: "You seem to know quite a lot?"

"No, I heard it the other day when he suddenly started talking." Ning Tongxi leaned on the chair with a smile.

"That Sheng Angsi guy! for most people, it's not easy to get along with. " Ji Siqi said gently.

"Mn, I can see it," Ning Tongxi said while feeling the same thing.

Ji Siqi raised his head, looked at Ning Tongxi, and laughed: "But, as long as it's someone that Sheng Angsi approves of, he would wholeheartedly pay. From another angle, it's just that his requirements for his friends are too high."

"So, you want to say that he is only a friend to you?" Ning Tongxi found it funny.

"Un, more or less! In fact, the reason why Unsi wanted his friends was not just because of their identity, status, and accomplishments. It should also be because of their values and their mindset! " Ji Siqi picked up his brush and a dull brush.

"Why do you sound so ambiguous?" "You speak as if you two are natives!" Ning Tongxi said while smiling awkwardly.

"Haha, aren't friends and lovers just meant to keep you company for a long time? The choice is the same, those who can be friends can be lovers, and those two who can be lovers can also be close friends in life. " Ji Siqi explained with a smile.

"Mm, you're not lying after all." Ning Tongxi thought for a moment, then said: "But you don't seem to have any human feelings towards Sheng Angsi!"

"That's not it, Sheng Angsi is just not very good at expressing himself." Ji Siqi said with a smile.

"You said he can't express himself?" Ning Tongxi expressed her disbelief.

"I don't mean what I said, but what he was thinking in his heart. To outsiders, Sheng Angsi often seems to be someone who values his own interests more than others. He had been doing business since the day I met him, as if he was born and would do business as well. I think that most of the time, Sheng Angsi would use this perspective to examine his relationship with other people. Even though he doesn't have any human feelings, but in reality, the efficiency of Sheng Angsi solving problems is way higher than a human relationship! " Ji Siqi reasoned after he analyzed it.
