Fairytale Shelf Life [MTL]

Ch 44

Chapter 44

Song Zhi and Zhou Yichan met at night.

But this morning, before Zhou Yan got up, she put on her small suitcase and hurried out.

The sun is shining, and the world is waking up.

Song Zhi was sitting at the bus stop, eating a sandwich while checking in on his mobile phone to learn a foreign language. Cars honked their horns, wheels whizzed by, pedestrians hurried, and the revival of familiar life rushed to her.

Huh——

the waiting flight arrived, she took a last look behind her, picked up her luggage and left.

The bus drove away, Song Zhi held back and didn't look back.

Gradually, the number of passengers on the bus increased, and the worries for livelihood were written all over their faces. Every time the car stops, it pours some realistic fireworks.

She loves and enjoys such moments. It can make her feel that she is truly living in this world. So when Zhou Yan asked her which driving school she was in and if she needed him to pick her up, she refused without hesitation.

At this moment, Song Zhi is glad that he made such a choice back then.

This made it impossible for her to forget what kind of life she really should be living on the day of parting.

The bus stopped at the driving school, Song Zhi got off in a good mood.

Even though she hadn't actually gone to the exchange, the moment she left Zhou's house with her luggage, she had already decided to return to Song Zhi.

For this reason, she decided to move the practice time to the first batch in the morning.

It can not only avoid the sun exposure in midsummer, but also avoid the boy who always loves to appear at the hottest moment.

In fact, the moment Song Zhiyou stepped into the driving school, he was secretly worried.

Although the weather was calm yesterday, probably because she didn't leave the house, her farewell to Chen Yan was too abrupt and unpleasant, maybe everything will not go as planned.

However, this time, Song Zhi seemed to worry too much.

During the two-hour practice, students and coaches came and went, and the teacher Yang who was in contact with Chen Yan also appeared, but there was still no wind or waves.

Just like yesterday, the boy did not appear again, nor did he make any moves.

Including when she went to T University in the afternoon, went to the city library, and inquired about rental housing and part-time jobs, she never heard any news about Chen Yan.

It seems that the decision that day was hurtful enough and effective enough.

Chen Yan will not come to her again.

The last hidden danger was also eliminated. That evening, Song Zhi finally set off to the location sent by Zhou Yichan without any scruples.

It was dusk, and I thought it would be another high-end restaurant, but unexpectedly, the navigation stopped at the door of a certain apartment.

She dialed the girl's number and asked strangely: "Yichan, did you send the wrong location? I'm outside an apartment now." "Is the

Jianghuai apartment right?" Zhou Yichan confirmed with her.

"En."

Just as Song Zhi responded, he heard the girl say, "That's right, just wait, I'll pick you up right away!"

After a while, Zhou Yichan greeted her with a smile on her face.

The girl wears a white shirt with short sleeves today, a red plaid pleated skirt with a red bow at the neckline. Youthful, very similar to the outfits they wore when they first met. Of course, today's dresses are much brighter and more beautiful than the school uniforms.

Song Zhi lowered her mood for the whole day, and then became high-spirited. She smiled slightly and took the initiative to take a step forward.

"Wow! I know you wore the 'same style' from the exchange day today!" Zhou Yichan hugged her warmly when they met, "We have a tacit understanding!" Yes,

Song Zhi almost reproduced that day's outfit today.

That day, I wore a white T-shirt and jeans, and I wore a refreshing high ponytail because of the dusty day and night. Today, except for changing her jeans to a denim skirt, she completely reproduced the rest.

At this moment, embracing Zhou Yichan, who is also re-enacted, seems to be turning back time.

It seems that the previous month was a limited-time fairy tale that fell into the rabbit hole. Now that he wakes up from the dream, Song Zhi returns to the day when he just arrived in Haishi, and a new life is just about to begin.

"Yeah. But," she let go of the girl, and asked curiously, "Why did you make an appointment here? Is there any special restaurant inside?"

Zhou Yichan deliberately said: "You will understand when you come up with me!"

The girl led her, and she pulled the box, and the two ran to the apartment.

The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor with a ding, and finally, the girl opened a door for her. People are still standing outside the house, and when they raise their eyes, they can see the setting sun in the distant river.

This is not a special restaurant, but a double loft apartment with river view, bright and warm.

Song Zhi didn't know why, so he just looked sideways—

"Qiang Qiang! Surprise!" Zhou Yichan stepped into the apartment and raised her hands, "I have rented out this apartment for a long time, and this will be our secret base for the next four years!" The girl looked at

her , the bright eyes are full of anticipation: "How about it, Song Zhi, do you like it? If you like it, then before the start of school, you will live here first, okay?" Song Zhi was slightly distracted, how could she not like it

? ?

Because Song Yumo likes to write in the dark, the house they lived in since childhood was shady and cool, and it was always hard to see through. In fact, for a long time, Song Zhi longed for home but hated it at the same time. Love and hate, and finally simply choose to travel.

She never expected that there would be "another self" who secretly prepared a dream room for herself.

Years of grievances are another kind of "self-salvation".

She didn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Yichan put down her hand, with a look of uncertainty on her face: "Don't you like it? It's okay, then we'll pay a small liquidated damages, and then change to something you like—" Song Zhi suddenly stepped forward and threw

it tight.

"I like it!" she repeated, emphasizing, "I like it very much, I like it very much! Yichan, thank you. You don't know how much I have gained and how happy I have been exchanging this time with you." Song Zhi is fearless and

brave , she seldom showed her vulnerable side, and more often, she acted as Zhou Yichan's backing like a sister.

At this moment, Zhou Yichan touched the girl's soft and sensual side.

She hugged Song Zhi gently, and whispered: "That's really great. I've always worried that all I would bring you is depression and hard work. I'm even happier to know that you are also happy."

The two girls looked at each other and immediately smiled tacitly, just like when they first met.

Then, Zhou Yichan put Song Zhi's suitcase away properly, and dragged her out hastily.

"Where are you going again?" Song Zhi asked while running, "Actually, there is no need to go to any expensive restaurant. Yichan, my cooking is also delicious, how about I cook tonight and we eat in the secret base?"

Zhou Yichan turned to look at her, but said: "Good proposal, but next time, I must go there today!"

Song Zhi stopped persuading her and followed the girl unconditionally.

Then, when night fell, she was taken to a familiar coffee shop, the one she and Zhou Yichan decided to exchange.

Song Zhi smiled knowingly: "This place has a sense of ritual."

Zhou Yichan winked at her, and led her to the corner booth at the end.

The same coffee shop, the same booth, and the same neon night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The state of mind of the two girls is completely different.

On that day, they all experienced a bad and heartbroken day; and today, they snuggled together happily, looked at a menu and ordered happily.

At this time, Song Zhicai realized that her and Zhou Yichan's tastes were very different.

Girls like sweet and sour, but I like salty and spicy; Girls like light food, but she likes carbohydrates; Girls have a smaller appetite than birds, and I eat most of the time.

For a moment, Song Zhi thought, would Zhou Yan also notice these subtle differences?

"What are you thinking again?"

Zhou Yichan sat back across from her and said with a smile, "Song Zhi, I found that you are in a daze today."

Song Zhi shook his head: "No, I just feel a little weird. We have been exchanging for more than a month, and it's really true." Not found."

She made no mention of the difference in taste between the two. Anyway, after tonight, it doesn't matter if there are any openings.

"Yes! We are super powerful!"

Zhou Yichan put down the knife and fork for cutting steak, wiped his mouth and said, "However, when we ordered the food just now, our tastes are so different, I'm actually a little scared.

" We were discovered by others when we were exchanging, what will happen now?"

As if to echo Zhou Yichan's words, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of an arrogant engine coming from far and near outside the window.

The girl should be in a good mood today, so she couldn't help but jokingly said: "Wow. I don't know which dude bombed the street again."

Song Zhi smiled knowingly, and turned his head to look out the window: "Then let's just take a look." The

rumbling sound As it got closer, the two excited girls waited eagerly, wanting to see what kind of playboy he was.

But I saw a red Lamborghini calf coming through the night, and finally stopped steadily at the door of the coffee shop.

The neon lights flashed, and the passers-by around looked sideways. In the next second, that very familiar wild boy jumped out of the car, opened the door and walked into the coffee shop.

It was Chen Yan!

Song Zhi and Zhou Yichan were startled suddenly, their expressions froze instantly.

Accompanied by the boy pushing the door, they suddenly turned their heads and looked at each other.

The welcoming wind chime rang, and it seemed that it was the booth aisle on their side, and excited whispers suddenly surged.

Thinking of the gloom of the boy's eve, Song Zhi suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Yichan, hide and don't make a sound, I'll lure him away!" She stood up suddenly, opened the curtain of the booth and stepped out.

Only then did Zhou Yichan regain her senses.

In fact, they have already exchanged and returned, and Chen Yan is her own trouble after all. She doesn't want Song Zhi to stand in front of her again, and wants to go forward in person.

"Song—"

However, as soon as the curtain was lifted, it was discovered that not far away, two people had collided head-on.

Zhou Yichan's heart stopped beating, she hurriedly put down the curtain, and tried to hide inside as much as possible.

At the same time, in the narrow aisle of the coffee shop, the two farewells faced each other.

The young man was dressed in red, with a cold face, looking at her with deep and sharp eyes, like a hunter ready to go.

With just one glance, Song Zhi was sure that he came for her.

But the real Zhou Yichan is behind her right now, no matter what, she doesn't want to have anything to do with Chen Yan here.

Song Zhi stared at him, then turned to the left suddenly, wanting to walk shoulder to shoulder with him and lead him outside the shop.

Unexpectedly—

when she turned left, Chen Yan also turned left; when she turned right, Chen Yan followed her to the right.

The young man deliberately opposed her and wanted to block her here.

Song Zhi frowned slightly, raised his head, and wanted to speak.

Chen Yan stopped her and asked preemptively, "How long are you going to hide from me?"

They were separated from Zhou Yichan by a curtain, if they were dealing with the young man here, what if Chen Xichuan was mentioned?

Song Zhi didn't want to see that kind of scene.

After a moment of silence, she didn't answer the other party's question at all, but asked in a low voice: "Chen Yan, do you have to make a fuss in such a public place?" It was

already a slightly cold attitude that contained blame and bit back.

With Chen Yan's temperament and pride, he should turn around and leave. However, he smiled lowly and approached her step by step.

With a large audience, Song Zhi couldn't do what he used to do - let the young people approach and face the ambiguity directly.

When her toes were about to touch, she could only back away.

One step, two steps, step by step, and finally almost retreated to the booth where Zhou Yichan was in the corner, and could no longer retreat.

Song Zhiguo stopped decisively, and finally dared to look the boy in the eye.

But it was also at this second that Chen Yan suddenly stretched out his hand and opened the booth beside him with a bang.

He signaled: "Then sit down and talk."

If you sit down here, you will be back to back with Zhou Yichan, a real curtain will separate you.

Song Zhi looked at the aggressive and aggressive gaze of the young man, and was afraid that if he refused again, it would make the wild horse harder to tame, and he was also afraid that excessive rejection would backfire, and he would become suspicious if he wanted to leave too much.

She sat down happily.

Chen Yan followed closely behind, and properly closed the curtain for her to isolate the outside.

"Can we talk now?" he said.

Song Zhi tried his best to keep his tone calm: "Chen Yan, don't be like this. Stalking is not your character, there is no need to bother each other." Chen Yan

stared at her for a moment, and for a moment, he supported the table with his elbows, and the whole Lean your upper body toward her. "You want to drive me away so impatiently?" He didn't seem to hear her sarcastic words at all, instead he questioned her sharply, "You didn't even ask how I found you?" Indeed, from the first time I saw the boy, I only thought about how to lure him away, how to drive him away, so as to keep Zhou Yichan safe.

  Being poked in the center of her mind, she seemed slightly annoyed: "So Chen Yan, are you proud of following me?" Unexpectedly, Chen Yan shrugged and smiled smirk, as if she was really proud. "You just know? As a person, if I want to stay, I will definitely stay. So Zhou Yichan—" He stared at her with a sharp edge, "Don't use my brother to fool me." 

She couldn't find an excuse, but the young man's arrogant attitude really annoyed her a little. "Heh." She chuckled, "Why do you think I'm fooling you? Chen Yan, you are quite popular, but not every girl is interested in you." She reminded him: "Don't be too self-righteous." 

There was a sudden silence, his eyes fixed on her all the time, as if trying to judge whether her words were sincere. After a while, he looked at her with deeper eyes: "Okay, you like my brother, you used to get close to me because of my brother, right? It's okay, then from now on, I'll get to know you again." "Chen Yan!" Song Zhi suddenly felt unreasonable, "I don't understand why you must come to me again and say these things again." 

She simply stopped practicing Tai Chi and said frankly: "Even if we resume contact now, so what, wait for you After the summer break is over, you still have to return to London, and we will gradually lose contact." Song Zhi finally asked him: "Why do you bother?"

The young man looked straight at her and retorted: "Who said we would lose contact if I went back to London?"

Song Zhi was slightly taken aback.

The reason why she was convinced that they would eventually lose contact was because she was not the real Zhou Yichan.

There was a "limited friendship" between them.

However, facing Chen Yan's questioning, Song Zhi couldn't explain it.

She was really stumped.

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows: "So, that's why you want to break up the relationship?"

"No!"

Song Zhi denied it, but couldn't give the real reason, and immediately said annoyedly: "Chen Yan, why do you have to find me?" A reasonable reason? I just don't want to be friends with you anymore, okay?"

She asked sharply: "Chen Yan, there are many people you can entertain, why do you have to pester me?"

Chen Yan suddenly lost his voice.

And Song Zhi stared at him angrily, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, he got up and left.

Unexpectedly——

Chen Yan grabbed her hand and blurted out:

"Because I like you!"
