Fairytale Shelf Life [MTL]

Ch 69

Chapter 69

Song Zhi and Zhou Yichan chatted until late at night.

From the tears in the eyes at the beginning, to the later, each other's brows and smiles are relaxed.

Song Zhi said that having a twin sister is actually something worthy of joy and celebration, and they should not punish themselves for their parents' mistakes.

So Zhou Yichan said: "Then let's forget about them tomorrow and start a new life! We're going to do what twin sisters would do!" "

But..."

Lying on the bed, Song Zhi turned over, a little confused Question: "What do twin sisters do?"

"Hmm." Zhou Yichan blinked, "The most important thing to do, we seem to have already done it!"

Song Zhimiao understood what she meant by "exchanging lives". thing.

She curled her lips into a chuckle: "What to do, it's because we took too big a step at the beginning, and now we should celebrate but didn't move." "Wait, I thought of it!"

Zhou

Yichan lifted the quilt, "Before we all Sneaky, deliberately avoiding encounters. But now, we have to be aboveboard and tell everyone that we are twins!"

Song Zhi raised his eyebrows: "How do you tell me, take a loudspeaker and shout in the street?"

"Stupid you!" Zhou Yichan became excited , "As long as we walk side by side, anyone will know. But—"

she began to list:

"We still have to go shopping first, buy some identical clothes like crazy; then we can take pictures together, but I Post your photos in the circle of friends, and you post my photos in the circle of friends, cheating friends; after we were tired, we went to buy a second cup for half the price for a rest; finally, we went to the park to wait for the sunset, but next to People are not looking at the sunset at all, they are all looking at us!"

Zhou Yichan said and held her hand excitedly: "Song Zhi, what do you think?!"

Song Zhi was infected by her happiness, and his eyes were smiling: "I think we're going to be so excited that we won't be able to sleep tonight, maybe we'll be able to watch the sunset when we go out tomorrow."

"What?"

Zhou Yichan stretched out his hand to cover her eyes: "Now, immediately, immediately, go to sleep! Whoever talks again is a puppy!"

Song Zhizhen switched to silent mode in a second.

The room suddenly fell silent.

As a result, after a while——

Song Zhi heard a voice clearly in her ears: "Wow~"

She couldn't hold back a chuckle, and beside her, Zhou Yichan made the smile even higher.

The two sisters just talked to you and me, talking about boring chatter.

In the end, they didn't know what time it was, they faced each other, and finally fell asleep together in a daze.

But fortunately, Song Zhiyan was not really hit by Song Zhiyan the next day.

Although they woke up late, it was actually not long after noon, and there was still plenty of time for them to realize their dreams last night.

Just like the day when they decided to exchange, the two girls did what they said, and immediately set off hand in hand after a simple wash without even eating.

Unexpectedly—

they had just walked outside the apartment building when they saw an unexpected visitor.

It was Zhou Yan who rushed out after seeing the letter.

Although he rushed here the first time in the morning, he didn't go upstairs to disturb him, he just waited here.

Seeing his daughters appear at this moment, he went up to meet them.

The two girls suddenly stopped, their eyes full of surprise.

Especially Zhou Yichan, she had never seen such a slovenly Zhou Yan. In the past, the father she saw was always calm and organized no matter what happened. She deeply remembered that Zhou Yan once had an operation, and the anesthetic was gone, his forehead was covered with sweat, but when she opened the door, she saw him sitting there in a suit and leather collar, having a video conference.

Zhou Yan, who was calm even in the face of knives, was wearing yesterday's crumpled and dusty clothes, his eyes were dark, and his chin was slightly green. The man couldn't hide his fatigue, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night.

"Can we chat for a few minutes?"

Zhou Yan stopped at a place not far from them and said, "A few minutes is enough."

Zhou Yichan stared blankly at her father.

In fact, she should be even more angry. What she hates the most is the oppressive feeling of father, who wants to control your whereabouts at any time. But at this moment, seeing her father's decadent face, the resentment in her heart plummeted instead.

Although Zhou Yichan hated Zhou Yan's desire to control and was angry at him for concealing the twins, she had been truly loved by her father for eighteen years.

She relented almost immediately.

But Zhou Yichan promised to choose Song Zhi.

So, she didn't express her opinion, but just held her sister's hand tightly and said, "Zhizhi, let's go?"

If Song Zhi didn't want to give her father a chance, she would leave without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Song Zhi squeezed her hand and smiled: "It's okay."

Then she looked at Zhou Yan: "What do you want to say, say it now."

Zhou Yan originally wanted to chat with the two daughters separately, but they firmly held each other. Holding each other's hands, there is no meaning of separation.

He gave up, turned to Song Zhi and said to her, "Song Zhi, Dad is here to apologize to you."

Song Zhi was not surprised.

However, the man's next sentence was: "Actually, there is a big difference between you and the daughter I imagined." The

abrupt sentence had nothing to do with their conflict yesterday.

Song Zhi was slightly taken aback.

She stared into Zhou Yan's eyes, and heard him say again:

"When I heard that you applied for the Mechanical Engineering Department of T University, I thought my daughter was a flamboyant, sassy, ​​and selfish person. She might be a bit cool, so she Only a girl will choose machinery and race tracks."

When it came to college entrance examination volunteers, the father and daughter looked at each other silently for a while.

Then, Zhou Yancai continued: "Maybe when we meet, she will say to me coldly, 'You are my dad who is alive but dead', and then she will lose her temper and walk away." "However,

you You are not such a reckless person, you are neither indifferent nor capricious. You are brave, firm and considerate, even when you are angry, even in the pain of loss, you are still thinking about the people around you." "Song Zhi——

"

Zhou Yan called her, and his eyes turned red instantly.

At this point, he formally apologized. He said, "I'm sorry for making you a sensible child."

Song Zhi was suddenly stunned, his heart felt like a heavy blow, painful and sore, and he had the urge to cry.

This is completely different from the "apology" she thought. She thought Zhou Yan wanted to explain the reason for abandoning him, and thought he just wanted to redeem.

She never expected that her father would say such a thing.

Song Zhi stared at Zhou Yan steadfastly, seeing his self-remorse and self-hatred.

She should speak coldly and formally settle with her father. The moment she saw Zhou Yan just now, she made up her mind that today she must clarify her attitude and let him stop looking for him again.

However, at this moment, Song Zhi opened his mouth, but he was still unable to utter a single word.

She was silent, but Zhou Yan continued to apologize: "I'm sorry, I missed eighteen years in your life. It was my father who was wrong, and I failed your sincerity. You know, my father doesn't expect your forgiveness, I just want to ask for a forgiveness." Opportunity."

"A chance to use the rest of my life to make up for my mistakes."

He said, "The thing I regret the most in my life is that I didn't insist on getting you back eighteen years ago. If possible, in the future, I hope I have Opportunity to be Song Zhi's father. A father who is no longer absent."

"Why?"

Song Zhi finally couldn't help venting: "Why can you make up if you want to? Zhou Yan, this world is not what you say it is. You I want a chance, but I don't want to give it."

She took a deep breath and said frankly: "I admit, I once expected fatherly love, but now, I don't care anymore." "

I found someone more important."

Song Zhi held his younger sister's hand tightly, and said calmly, "If Dad really wants to make up for it, then please don't show up again, and don't remind me of those hurtful pasts over and over again." The girl's attitude did not change, just

as Yesterday's determination.

She didn't know that those longings that had been hidden deep in her heart had been known by her father.

Song Zhi thought that his father should retreat, or, like Song Yumo on the day of the breakup, let the foreseeable drift away.

In fact, Zhou Yan did nod his head and responded: "Okay, Dad knows. I never thought about it, and I can make up for something just today." His father stopped pressing, but

Song Zhi still felt uncomfortable for some reason.

She took Zhou Yichan and wanted to leave, but she heard the man continue to say:

"Dad, I just want to make sure you are safe first. I want you to know that Dad actually cares about you very much and cherishes the time spent with you very much. I really want to save you."

Zhou Yan said firmly: "If you don't want to see me for a while, I will try another way. But, Dad doesn't want to give up on you, and he won't give up on you again." Song Zhicai

insisted The heart is loose again.

But she felt that she shouldn't be so easily and humblely shaken by a few beautiful words from her father.

"That's your business, I've already said my request."

Song Zhi looked coldly, and finally said: "Whether you respect my request is up to you." After saying

that, she pulled Zhou Yichan to cross her body with him, leave decisively.

Zhou Yan turned around, thought for a while, but finally did not catch up.

He didn't tell Song Zhi that he had seen the letter. At this embarrassing moment, he thought, she might feel embarrassed.

And that was not Zhou Yan's original intention. He ran over regardless, in order to respond to his daughter, to teach her that her father also cared about her and was reluctant to part with her.

Zhou Yan didn't know if it was useful or not.

But as long as Song Zhi can get such a sliver of relief from the bottom of his heart, he will make this trip worthwhile.

It wasn't until Zhou Yichan took an online car-hailing service that Song Zhi suddenly realized that he had deprived Zhou Yichan of the opportunity to talk to his father.

"I'm sorry." She apologized to her sister, "Because of me, you couldn't talk to Dad. Otherwise—"

She was about to call the driver: "Shall we turn around and go back?"

"Don't!"

Zhou Yichan handed the phone to In front of her eyes: "No need to go back. Look, I didn't miss anything."

Looking at the screen, Song Zhi saw Zhou Yan sending Zhou Yichan several voice messages.

Zhou Yichan touched lightly, and his father's voice came to his ears:

"Xiaochan, Dad wants to redecorate a room at home, the one opposite to you. Although I know you won't mind, but you are also Dad's daughter, so I will tell you in advance One sound."

"Then—"

Seemingly a very important decision, Zhou Yankong sent a message, and then said:

"Maybe for many years in the future, Dad will not be able to help but care about Song Zhi more, and maybe I will give priority to it unconsciously." Song Zhi. I'm sorry, that's very unfair to you, but Dad owes Song Zhi." "

I'm sorry, Xiao Chan. If this makes you feel uncomfortable, Dad apologizes to you first." The

voice message ended.

It turned out that what Zhou Yan wanted to say to Zhou Yichan was also "I'm sorry". He wanted to do his best to make up for the "abandoned" Song Zhi, even if the price was to make another daughter sad, he would not hesitate.

It was hard for Song Zhi to describe how he felt when he heard this.

But she found that it was really difficult for her to hate Zhou Yan completely, and it was difficult to draw a clear line with him.

This father will apologize after making mistakes, will try his best to find ways to make up for it, will catch up with his daughter when he leaves in anger, and will stay up all night looking for her daughter's trace to confirm her safety.

He is not perfect.

But he was a real and sincere father.

Song Zhi didn't know what to do.

She felt that she had encountered another difficult problem, but now, there was no bright light that could point her in the right direction.

Forgive me for that? Will not be reconciled, will feel too humble.

Do not forgive? It is also uncomfortable, and even a little bit of fear will be completely lost.

While hesitating, he looked at Zhou Yichan.

Thinking of Zhou Yan's voice, Song Zhi felt that his sister was implicated by him, and she was about to say something.

Zhou Yichan took the lead.

The girl smiled and shook her head, indicating that she doesn't need to say more, and then she said: "You know, don't feel that you owe me anything. I chose you, and I first monopolized Dad's concern. I am very willing. I am very happy. So— —"

Zhou Yichan blinked at her: "Let's see first, how daddy can favor you, and how he can make up for you!" The two sisters looked at each other for a moment, and then they smiled knowingly at the same time.

Yes, since you don't know how to choose, then don't choose. Go forward and see what happens, and maybe the answer will emerge automatically.

Song Zhi nodded and made a decision: "Okay, let's take a look first."

The appearance of Zhou Yan did not depress the two girls for long.

When they walked into the business district hand in hand, and the passers-by around couldn't help but look sideways, Song Zhi and Zhou Yichan looked at each other with a low smile—there was no need to wait to go to the park to watch the sunset, and wherever they went, there would be a scenic spot!

Everything was expected, and the sisters didn't mind these gazes at all, and started their schedule generously and enthusiastically.

Zhou Yichan is more familiar with Haishi, and she has become the leader today.

She took Song Zhi to the food street first, "shopping and eating" in a mess, and after walking to the end of the two alleys, her stomach was full.

Then, they began to travel through various shopping malls, picking out the twins' jerseys.

Every time they enter a store, the clerk will say in surprise, sigh or envy, "Wow, you are twins!"

They will smile and nod at the same time, and then they will welcome the most enthusiastic recommendation and service.

Without exception, when trying on clothes, others will ask: "Which of you is the older sister and who is the younger sister?"

At first, they would naturally say that Song Zhi is the older sister.

But when someone asked: "Is your birth time only a few minutes apart?"

Song Zhi and Zhou Yichan suddenly remembered that their current birthdays...are not even on the same day! Song Zhi was on November 1st of the Gregorian calendar the previous year, and Zhou Yichan was the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month of the following year, so they acquiesced that Song Zhi was the older sister.

"One of our birthdays is fake!" They told the truth in unison.

Whose birthday is fake?

Zhou Yan and Song Yumo, who would be so ridiculous that they even changed their daughter's birthday?

Song Zhi said: "My birthday should be fake, because Song Yumo's birthday happens to be November 1st in the Gregorian calendar." In the past

ten years, every time their mother and daughter celebrated their birthdays together, she was the happiest. But I never thought that even this is fake.

"It's too much!"

Zhou Yichan couldn't believe it and was indignant: "If your birthday hasn't been changed, then we will definitely recognize each other after we meet for the first time! How could it be..." How could there be such an

absurd mother.

In the narrow fitting room, Zhou Yichan hugged her: "I can more and more understand your sadness before. Song Zhi, otherwise you can be my sister, and my sister will protect you!" "No." The

experienced

man Song Zhi didn't feel much about it, she said with a smile: "Although I'm half a year younger, I don't want to be downgraded. I want to be an older sister, so I can bully my younger sister at any time." "Tch!" Zhou Yichan let go of her

, While helping her tidy her skirt, she replied, "It's not certain who is bullying whom!"

"Really?" Song Zhi immediately went to tease her.

"Don't, don't, don't!" Zhou Yichan dodged for a second and conceded for a second, and immediately fought back after Song Zhi stopped.

The two sisters laughed and laughed, and the day passed briskly.

They walked hand in hand through the busy alleys; they went shopping together in commercial buildings; they huddled together in front of the photo sticker machine, wearing cute and funny headgear to take pictures; they stood side by side on the bridge to watch the sunset and the neon lights up; Return with a full load of bags.

Although it is a pity to miss the eighteen years, it also makes them closer now.

When they set off today, the two were worried, but when they returned, their faces were full of joy.

That night, when they were washing together inseparably, the doorbell rang suddenly.

In the next second, a male voice came: "Hello, flash delivery in the same city."

The two looked at each other, and both of them came to the entrance, and saw that the electronic peephole was indeed the Flash.

Get the bag, open it, inside is a car key and a note.

"The car is in the garage of the apartment. Hiring a taxi is never as convenient as driving by yourself. Practice every day, and you won't be unfamiliar with it.

Song Zhi, you will become the best vehicle engineer, and you will also be the best driver on the school team."

It was Zhou Then came the pink Ferrari.

Song Zhi told him not to show up again, so he really changed his approach.

Zhou Yichan looked at her and said bluntly, "Sister, if I say I want to go for a ride in your car..."

Song Zhi packed the keys and put his arms around his sister's shoulders: "No problem, I'll satisfy you tomorrow!"

The next day.

Zhou Yichan was ready to jump on the pink Ferrari, but in the end, Song Zhi took her to the karting experience club.

When they raced on the tandem go-kart, Zhou Yichan shouted happily, while Song Zhi smiled, and the young man's flamboyant face couldn't be restrained in his mind.

In the past few days, because of the incident of the twins, she was able to temporarily forget the parting with Chen Yan.

Now that all the dust has settled, even though Song Zhi has deliberately avoided the club where Chen Yan gets along a lot, once he gets on the go-kart, he still misses him uncontrollably.

I don't know how the boy is doing now, has he started his first F1 race, has he stood on the podium?

Looking at Song Zhi who was slightly absent-minded, Zhou Yichan was thoughtful.

She didn't disappoint right away, but didn't ask until the sisters started chatting at night, "Zhizhi, are you really planning to stop here with Chen Yan?"

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment.

After a long time, she said: "That's it. He and I are people from two worlds."

"Nonsense!"

But Zhou Yichan turned over, turned on the light, and said very seriously: "How can you be from two worlds? People? You know, if your mother hadn't taken you away, then you and Chen Yan should have been childhood sweethearts!"

The girl told her firmly: "Zhizhi, you finally got to know Chen Yan, which means that you are destined to meet each other."

Song Zhi was stunned.

But soon, she smiled and shook her head: "Yeah, we met and got together. Now, he returned to the track to drive F1, and I started my career as a mechanic." She said, "Enough is enough

. "

Perhaps this is all the fate that belongs to them at this stage.

However, Zhou Yichan said: "You still don't understand! In the racing world, is there any closer distance than the driver and the mechanic? I know, maybe you will meet again in the future! At that time—" She looked at her,

encouraging Ask generally: "Will you tell Chen Yan the truth?"

Perhaps Zhou Yichan's gaze is so contagious and inspiring.

For a moment, Song Zhi really remembered that scene.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yichan knew that she hadn't let go completely.

"Know!"

the girl suggested imaginatively, "otherwise, before school starts, let's fly to Belgium to watch Chen Yan's F1 scene!"

Wait!
