Chapter 25

The moment Zhou Yan's voice came, Chen Yan's steps stopped suddenly.

He pointed behind him, and silently communicated with Song Zhi: I'll go out and hide first.

Song Zhixian calmly folded the paper with sensitive content on the table, then shook his head at the boy.

Chen Yan tilted her head slightly to the right, and asked her with puzzled eyes: I won't avoid it? It's not for me—

the young man glanced in the direction of her bedroom, hesitating.

"It's a good idea."

Song Zhi felt that he was too tired to play riddles, so he asked directly, "Why are you hiding?"

Before Chen Yan could speak, there was another knock on the door, and Zhou Yan called her again.

The young man made a knife in his hand, and slowly slashed across his neck, with a face full of "do you understand?"

Chen Yan wanted to turn around, but Song Zhi grabbed the hem of his clothes, and he stopped.

She immediately turned to the white painted door and asked, "What's the matter?"

She had no intention of opening the door.

Everyone inside and outside the house seemed a little surprised, and the air was silent for a while.

After a while, Zhou Yan didn't ask her to open the door, but only told her: "Come to the restaurant to eat at night."

Song Zhi didn't speak, as if he was thinking about it.

And Zhou Yan suddenly said: "You can move about in the whole manor, I didn't tell you to just stay in the room." "

Is there a difference?" Song Zhi blurted out and asked.

After a while, Zhou Yan reminded her: "Zhou Yichan, don't forget that you still have a friend." "

Then may I ask, is Dad taking care of my face, or is he just taking care of my friend?" Inexplicably with some sarcasm.

Zhou Yan didn't answer, he was quiet for a moment, and only said: "The review must be written, but the food must also be eaten."

After that, there was a long silence outside, and he seemed to have left.

Because Chen Yan was here, Song Zhi didn't dare to be careless, and walked lightly to the electronic cat to confirm.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan really left, as if he knocked on the door specially to remind his daughter to go out for activities and meals.

Song Zhi was stunned for a while, then raised his hand to say OK to the boy behind him.

"Awesome."

Chen Yan walked to her side, clapped his hands and sighed, "Zhou Yichan, you are so talented, you dare to talk to your father like this now." He asked her, "Aren't you afraid that your father will be even more angry?

"

Song Song Zhi pulled the chair and sat down, and asked calmly: "Review, grounding, can it be worse?"

Chen Yan gave her a thumbs up and sat down beside her: "Just now I saw you staring at the review in a daze. I thought you were the same as before, secretly hiding at home and crying. I was too worried, you now—"

After a pause, he looked into the girl's eyes and said, "You look like a real arrogant young lady."

Song Zhi looked at the boy , but those cruel news and Zhou Yichan's sad eyes appeared inexplicably in his mind.

"Chen Yan." She asked him, "Did I love to cry before?"

"It's more than just love to cry. In the past, your father's voice was a little louder, and you had to hide in the room for a few days." Chen Yan said, "I didn't see Someone who is more timid than you."

Song Zhi remembered that when she first met Zhou Yichan, the girl was really timid, and she didn't know how much effort she had to muster up the courage to propose an exchange.

She remembered that Chen Yan said that she liked her current state better than before.

After pondering for a moment, Song Zhi suddenly asked: "Then do you hate the old me?"

The sunlight outside the window was just right, and the broken golden light mixed with the wind came in.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was so relaxed, Chen Yan replied almost without thinking: "With my brother backing you up, I wouldn't dare—"

Before he finished speaking, the boy suddenly fell silent.

The wind suddenly became stronger and rolled up the tassels on the green curtains.

Song Zhi noticed that Chen Yan was obviously stunned for a moment, and she whispered: "Sorry."

But Chen Yan laughed and said: "Forget it, when you are young, don't recall the past, talk about the present."

He asked her, "Miss, do you really want to obediently ground your feet and write an inspection here?" "

So," Song Zhi tacitly followed him to jump the topic, "Did you climb upstairs on purpose just to take me out of prison?"

Chen Yan Then he stood up and stretched out his hand to her: "Will you go?"

Song Zhi looked up at him.

The young man is against the light, his whole body is dazzlingly bright, and his wild wolf eyes hide his passion, revealing a bit of evil.

If it was before today, she would definitely be seduced and follow him.

But she just learned about Chen Xichuan.

Song Zhi smiled and shook her head: "No, it's quite interesting to experience foot restraint for the first time, and I won't go with you."

She thought, now she represents Zhou Yichan.

Before being sure about the truth of the matter, she should, like Zhou Yichan herself, stay away from the boy she likes.

"For the first time, it's interesting?"

Chen Yan asked in a very strange way: "Didn't you hate being grounded by your father the most?

"

"No." She added, "Well, it's quite romantic to be grounded in a foreign manor for the first time, isn't it? And—" Song Zhi was afraid of

revealing his clues, and deliberately brought out Zhou Yan: "Now you bring If I run away, what should I do if my dad finds out again? Wouldn't it be more sinful!"

I feel that being grounded is also romantic, which is quite in line with Zhou Yichan, who is full of girlish thoughts, and her follow-up supplements are more reasonable, Chen Yan had no doubts about him.

"I'm not so popular that reporters follow me every day."

Chen Yan stared at her: "I didn't want to take you out of prison at first, but I was afraid that some people would hide in the house and cry, so I came to make amends and visit you." Missy really doesn't know good people."

Song Zhi resisted the desire to white him: "Okay, thank you for your kindness, but I declined. From today on, I just want to be a good girl." "Understood

. "Chen Yan stopped talking, and finally said: "The lettuce poet slowly wrote poems on the review book, and I withdrew it."

After the young man finished speaking, he turned around.

Song Zhi chased a few steps forward, and saw him stepping on the edge of the terrace, climbing up the tree trunk next to him like flying, and landing on the grass on the first floor with a few light steps.

He went all the way out without looking back.

And Song Zhi stood on the balcony on the second floor for a long time, until the boy's back completely disappeared, and she didn't return to the room for no reason.

In the evening, Song Zhi's door was knocked again.

I thought it was Zhou Yan who came to enforce the order to go downstairs to eat and open the door, but it was a completely unexpected person.

"Sister Yu Meng?" Song Zhi was surprised, she never thought that Xie Yu Meng would find her at this juncture.

Women don't seem to like to beat around the bush.

She picked up the red wine bottle, shook it, and said straight to the point: "I heard that you and Dad had a fight, would you like to have a drink with me?"

Xie Yumeng and Zhou Yichan are also old acquaintances, and Jiang Shuyue once emphasized that " Forget that no one will forget Senior Sister Xie Yumeng."

Song Zhiben intended to contact her, so naturally he would not refuse.

"Of course." She agreed, and then said, "Actually, sister Yu Meng wants to see me, so she can send me a message directly, and there is no need to make a special trip." Xie Yu Meng took her out, stretched her legs and hooked the door

, Immediately he said: "It's more sincere to come here in person."

It was reliable, and the strong aroma of rose tobacco was so strong that Song Zhi couldn't help but look up at the woman.

Xie Yumeng was also looking at her tiltedly, to be precise, he should be sizing her up.

The next moment, the woman told her: "This green dress looks better on you."

Song Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

Exhausted after going back to her room last night, she fell asleep and went to bed when she got up today, so she didn't change her skirt, it was the one Chen Yan gave her last night.

Does it have any connection with Xie Yumeng?

Xie Yumeng smiled meaningfully, but Song Zhi resisted asking why it was "better looking", and only smiled at the woman.

Fortunately, the other party didn't say any more, just led her out.

Song Zhi recalled the woman's words, and then thought of the intimacy between her and Chen Yan when they met her twice, and gradually felt uncertain in his heart.

She guessed that Xie Yumeng should have seen the scandal between herself and Chen Yan, and it might be a grand banquet.

Thinking about what Xie Yumeng wanted all the way, she was quickly brought to the destination of this trip.

Here is a kiosk high up on the estate overlooking the neon lights of parts of London.

The two sat opposite each other, and Xie Yumeng poured red wine for her.

As soon as Song Zhi thanked her, she heard the woman ask, "Sister, what's the matter with you and Chen Yan?"

To be so straightforward, is he going to declare sovereignty to himself without any foreshadowing?

Song Zhi didn't expect it, and was stunned for a while before saying: "Sister Yu Meng, don't get me wrong, I, Chen Yan, are just friends." She explained, "It was raining yesterday, and I happened to be passing by, so he took me to change. It's just clothes."

Song Zhi had no intentions towards Chen Yan, nor did he want to make enemies for Zhou Yichan, his tone at this moment could be called sincere.

"Why are you nervous?"

Xie Yumeng chuckled, and pushed the red wine glass towards her: "I'm not here to interrogate you, Xiaochan, let's have a drink first." The crisp sound

of glass colliding echoed, Song Zhi Yiyan took a sip of his wine.

She glanced at the woman quietly, a little uncertain whether the other party was ironic.

After thinking about it, Song Zhi put down his wine glass, and took the initiative to emphasize: "I may be a little nervous, but Chen Yan and I are really fine."

Xie Yumeng didn't say anything more, but got up suddenly, and walked to Song Zhi's side.

The woman's arms were down, supporting the balcony of the pavilion, and the night wind stirred up her brown waves.

Xie Yumeng looked at the lights in the distance and said, "Xiaochan, you regard me as a big patriarch like your father, don't you?"

Song Zhi was slightly stunned.

She was a little puzzled, why the woman didn't mean to be jealous at all, and she didn't even mention Chen Yan a few times, but she had a sense of prying when she spoke.

Song Zhidun felt hesitant, she didn't want to talk about Che Zhilu anymore, but felt that what she wanted to say was a bit risky.

After deliberating over and over again, Song Zhi finally went all out.

She said: "No, I just don't want my sister to misunderstand Chen Yan." She told her firmly: "Chen Yan didn't betray you."

Finally, cracks appeared on Xie Yumeng's calm mask.

She turned her head suddenly, and asked in disbelief: "What?"

Song Zhi bravely stared at her, and repeated: "I said, Chen Yan didn't betray you."

The girl's attitude was so firm, as if she had endured for a long time and finally decided to go all out .

"You think I'm with Chen Yan?" Xie Yumeng looked at her with shock.

Song knew that she was puzzled: "You guys are always in pairs, and, besides, you just said that I look better in this dress."

She opened her mouth to verify her guess: "This dress is actually yours, isn't it?

" The two women met each other's eyes, and they fell into silence. The air seemed to stop flowing, and even Night Breeze automatically detoured towards them.

Suddenly -

Xie Yumeng burst into laughter, as if hearing some big joke.

She turned around and sat down next to Song Zhi: "So that's why you didn't tell me the truth?"

Song Zhi said nothing, waiting for her next words.

But when Xie Yumeng threw a shocking thunder, she said: "I've had Chen Xichuan, how could I still like a kid like Chen Yan." Have you ever had Chen Xichuan? !

Changing Song Zhi this time shocked: Is the person Xie Yumeng likes Chen Xichuan, and this is the reason why she and Chen Yan are close? !

Will what I said just now reveal flaws? Song Zhi's brain was crazily active, and Xie Yumeng spoke again: "No wonder you have such a strange attitude when you see me this time, and you have

such a misunderstanding."

When he came to London for the first time, he said that he would build a small house on this meadow so that I could overlook London every night."

Song Zhiwei paused, which meant that Xie Yumeng and Chen Xichuan were probably boyfriend and girlfriend .

Sure enough, the woman immediately testified for her.

"Later you also knew." Xie Yumeng raised her hand and caressed the ring on the necklace, "He only left me with regrets. So Xiaochan—" the

woman smiled and advised her: "Don't deny it, don't be afraid, just catch it." I have a lover. If you like it, don't care what other people say, even if that person is your father, you and Chen Yan don't have the regrets of me and Xi Chuan anymore." Xie Yumeng's words were very touching, and Song Zhi was moved for a moment.

But soon, her gaze could not be restrained from falling on the shining ring around the woman's neck.

It was a diamond ring with three interlocking rings of silver, pink and gold. Each ring was covered with diamonds like broken stars. It was gorgeous and eye-catching, like a wedding ring with a strong sense of ceremony.

Song Zhi guessed that it should be a gift from Chen Xichuan.

Are Xie Yumeng and Chen Xichuan married? No, there shouldn't be.

She thought of the afternoon news, none of which mentioned Chen Xichuan's wife. Since his father and younger brother were both in the news, if he married Xie Yumeng, especially when he was just 22 years old and should be newly married, it would be impossible for the news not to mention it at all.

Even if it is an engagement, there should be a few words to mention it.

For such a gorgeous diamond ring, she could only think of one explanation—marriage proposal.

Song Zhi thought for a while, then suddenly poured half a glass of wine for himself, and drank it all in one gulp.

Immediately, she looked directly into Xie Yumeng's eyes and apologized: "Sister Yumeng, I'm sorry, I'm too narrow-minded! I knew that Brother Xichuan had already proposed to you at that time, how could you—" At this time, you still

tried , Song Zhi also felt shameless.

But she didn't know where the next opportunity would be, so at this point, she drank half a glass of wine and sincerely apologized: "I'm really sorry! I'm sorry!"

Xie Yumeng heard the sound, and drank one after another.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and said, "It's okay. He left me as soon as he proposed. After so many years, I may fall in love with someone else." She smiled

at Song Zhi: "I forgive you, because it's not It's your fault."

Leaving right after proposing?

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment. Could it be that...the marriage proposal happened not long before the accident? Do you travel only after proposing marriage, or is it just a proposing trip at all?

She couldn't help probing again: "I'm sorry, anyway, I shouldn't bring up my sister's sadness. It would be great if... I didn't choose that place at the beginning." "

Yes." Xie Yumeng lowered her eyes, her eyes were full of regret, " If I knew this would happen, I should have told him that I liked being at home and was proposed early in the morning."

Chen Xichuan actually died unexpectedly during the proposal trip.

Song Zhi got the answer, but fell into deeper confusion.

The protagonist of the story is not Zhou Yichan at all, so why did she convict herself? Could it be... Was she the one who proposed the place?

Song Zhi vaguely remembered that in the diary fragments that Jiang Shuyue sent to him, there was a sentence "He went there because of me, and I killed him".

But even so, what selfishness could she have? Besides, the marriage proposal was Chen Xichuan's own decision, and the accident was also an accident, so how can we talk about "killing him"?

The closer he was to the truth, the more confused Song Zhi seemed to be.

I want to continue to ask, but I don't know what else to ask. Moreover, Xie Yumeng was also the injured person in that accident after all, so she still came to admonish herself with good intentions today.

Song Zhi was surrounded by complicated and chaotic emotions, making her speechless for a long time.

Until Xie Yumeng patted her head soothingly and said, "Okay, don't worry, we'll just talk about it." She raised her glass and said, "If you really feel embarrassed, then you can have a drink with me tonight." If you don't get drunk, you won't go home."

"Okay." Song Zhi agreed without hesitation this time.

The two women really started to exchange glasses.

Xie Yu talked a lot in his dreams, but most of them were related to Chen Xichuan. She told Song Zhi the details of Chen Xichuan's proposal to her, and she told Song Zhi the place where Chen Xichuan and Chen Xichuan were dating in London, and encouraged her to go with Chen Yan.

Every time he said a few words, he would invite a glass of wine, and Song Zhi would not refuse anyone who came.

As the night deepened, the temperature outside dropped, but the two women who were drinking High didn't realize it.

Song Zhi has never experienced this kind of feeling: it is difficult to walk straight, every step seems to be stepping on the clouds, the brain seems to be unable to turn, but it is still awake.

It was thicker than slightly drunk but lighter than heavily drunk. If she had to describe it, she felt like falling into the Thames River full of sunset. People float on it, and the setting sun shakes her boat.

The two women later ordered several more bottles of wine. Although they did not return until they were drunk, when they returned, they were already in a high mood.

Xie Yumeng drank more, and when she was leaving, she stood at the gate of the white "palace" and shouted to Song Zhi: "Girl, go and fall in love bravely!

" Has been maintained in an OK state.

Every few steps she went up, she showed Xie Yumeng OK.

So much so that -

when she walked in the wrong direction and came to the other side of the corridor, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and met Chen Yan's familiar eyes, she still gestured "OK" foolishly.
