Fairytale Shelf Life [MTL]

Ch 31

Chapter 31

"The hush money, I accept it."

Song Zhi was awakened suddenly by the young man's voice, and she almost immediately stretched out her hand to push Chen Yan away.

Song Zhi should be angry and even slap this frivolous person directly, but her heart was inexplicably surging with the tide behind her, and her face was also burning badly.

It was clearly on the surface of the lake where the night breeze was blowing, but she felt that she was under the scorching sun, which was hot and stuffy.

The boy's eyes were shining brightly by the moonlight, Song Zhi took a deep breath, and finally said coldly: "I thought you were drunk." After saying that,

she turned around and wanted to leave.

However, Chen Yan grabbed her wrist and held it so tightly that the phalanges became more distinct.

"Angry?" he asked her quietly.

Song Zhi tried his best to calm down the huge wave in his heart, and asked, "Should I not be angry?"

"Chen Yan, let go." Reason told her that she should leave here as soon as possible, away from him who is in danger at this moment.

Chen Yan grabbed her even tighter. He said, "My brother already has a fiancée. Zhou Yichan, you might as well choose me."

Song Zhi turned her head abruptly. She saw the boy's eyes change from dangerous to sentimental. He was telling the truth.

At this moment, she was finally sure that all the ambiguity in London was not an illusion. Holding hands beside the Ferrari, looking at each other in the dark, and accomplices in the manor are all signals released by the teenagers.

He even said such absurd things.

Song Zhi was dumbfounded, and immediately didn't know what to respond.

She had never met such a young man, and she was not the real Zhou Yichan, and everything she saw was beyond her experience.

Suddenly, Chen Yan laughed, as if amused by her reaction.

He seemed inconceivable: "Miss, you have never attended a party in China, have you?"

"What do you mean?" Song Zhi was really confused.

Chen Yan didn't answer, and with his arms, he easily pulled her into his arms. He held the girl's thin limbs and asked, "Do you know what the theme of today's party is?"

The two of them were close to each other, the youthful breath invaded wantonly, and a light tobacco and warm woody fragrance penetrated into Song Zhi's nostrils along with the intoxicating smell of alcohol.

She was short of breath: "What is it?"

"Everything boat party."

Chen Yan almost said clearly: "It means that there are no restrictions, and you can do anything on this boat. Including——" "

It's ok!"

Song Zhi interrupted him She knew what two words he was going to say when she was about to say it, but she didn't want to be reminded to think about it again.

She said: "I have opened my eyes today, prince of the party, can you let me go?"

This person is sometimes sincere and sometimes flirtatious, and Song Zhi can't tell which of his words is true tonight.

But she desperately needs to get over the subject of kissing, she's not him, she's a big deal.

"Didn't you want to say goodbye to me?" Chen Yan finally let go of her, "Don't go, wait for me."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the inside of the boat.

And Song Zhi held the iron railing tightly, leaned over and looked at the turbulent river, breathing heavily.

She tried her best not to recall that moment, but the boy's smile and eyes lingered in her mind, unable to dissipate for a long time.

Something is changing, boundaries are blurring, on this parting night.

She should have bid farewell to Chen Yan completely, but when the young man returned with the blue bottle of wine he sent, Song Zhi stayed again with the excuse of "official farewell".

It seems that when facing Chen Yan, she has never been soft-hearted and never compromised.

Song Zhi later recalled that night, always blaming it on alcohol, but no matter what, she chose to stay at this moment.

Teenagers and girls were sitting side by side on the edge of the yacht deck, the crowd was noisy at the bottom of the feet, and the neon lights on both sides were fading away.

Chen Yan poured half a glass of wine for Song Zhi, and she realized that the bottle is actually transparent, and the sky blue is the color of the wine itself.

"Why are you dissatisfied?" She wondered.

Chen Yan laughed and said, "I'm afraid that some people will get drunk, and this time I want to play something bigger, just jump into the sea."

Song Zhi remembered the embarrassing appearance of being drunk and dragging the boy up the wall and up the tree last time, and the corners of his lips could not help but rise silently.

"Then you have to take good care of me." She said, offering a glass to him, "I promise you." There was a

crisp ding.

But Chen Yan said: "Respect tonight."

The young man raised his head and tried his best, but Song Zhi stared at him motionless, as if waiting.

"Okay, okay." Chen Yan raised his hand to touch his heart and said, "I swear by my luck on the track that I will help you keep a secret. Miss, are you satisfied with this?" Song Zhi asked uncertainly:

" What does luck on the race track mean?"

"Didn't you see it in Silverstone?" Chen Yan said, "Sometimes a bit of luck is needed to drive a racing car, to win prizes and save one's life." Song Zhi was stunned, and after a long silence she

finally Tell him: "Actually, you don't have to do this, as long as you promise, I will believe it." "

No."

The young man held the wine glass in his hand, and swayed it on his bent legs, the ruffian energy he saw at the beginning reappeared.

He retorted, "I charged a high hush fee, so I should show my sincerity."

Song Zhi felt the heat behind his ears, and even the night wind from the Thames River couldn't cool it down.

She felt that the young man was trying to lure her into a trap again, so she didn't answer, and directly changed the subject: "Is this boat going to swim on the river all night?" "

Then I guess you'll have to go to the hospital again tomorrow." let her go.

Song Zhi was a little surprised: "Do you know about my illness?"

Chen Yan said: "After all, I have a responsibility." He asked her, "How is it, Missy, do you feel cold? Do you need to move indoors?"

Song Zhi shook his head: "No, it was an accident last time, and I'm not that fragile."

"Really?" Chen Yan was very suspicious, "How can I remember that some princesses shed tears when they were sick when they were young, and even her father didn't allow her to go to work. "

Song Zhi was slightly taken aback.

Does he even know these things about Zhou Yichan? And is this also the reason why Zhou Yan made such a big fuss this time? Did his sensibility at the time make him feel strange and suspicious?

Successive questions popped up in her head one by one like instinct.

Song Zhi was inexplicably annoyed, so she said, "Can you not talk about the past?" "

Okay." Chen Yan didn't mind, "Then

let's talk about the future." Keep drawing.

Unexpectedly, the young man said, "Zhou Yichan, how do you think I will develop when I return to China?"

Song Zhi couldn't help but look sideways, she saw that Chen Yan's eyes seemed to be struggling a little, it didn't seem like a joke.

After a moment of silence, she replied: "I think it depends on what Ferrari thinks."

"Don't be shrewd." Chen Yan leaned over suddenly, and put his whole face in front of her eyes, "I'm serious, you don't support me going back to China to do A real estate tycoon?"

This time, Song Zhi pointed his index finger on the boy's forehead, making him return to a safe distance.

Then she asked: "Is this the reason why you ran away on your birthday, because your father told you to give up racing and return to China to inherit the family business?"

Chen Yan didn't admit it or veto it, he just said: "Stay away from the cliff of life and death, and go back to China to live a new life." An easy life sounds quite tempting."

Song Zhi said nothing.

She took the wine glass from his hand, and the sky blue alcohol swirled and reacted chemically with the lemon slice, faintly turning pink.

When the glass filled with wine was handed back to Chen Yan, the girl said to him: "I like you to drive a car, Chen Yan, choose Ferrari." As soon as

Chen Yan focused on her, a whistle was blown, yes The yacht arrives at the destination and is about to dock and berth.

The drunken guests came out of the cage like a flock of birds, and rushed to the top deck all at once. They broke into the secret realm of teenagers and girls, and wanted to have the last carnival tonight.

The two were pulled up by a group of drunk lunatics, singing and dancing. In fact, the atmosphere was warm and romantic, and it was the best farewell ceremony.

But when Chen Yan recalled it later, he always felt that the night ended when the girl said "I like you driving a racing car".

This "No Taboo Party" ended at two o'clock in the morning, Jiang Shuyue was drunk, Song Zhi called Zhou Yan to pick them up.

Maybe it was because Chen Yan didn't show up when they left, or maybe they were about to end the journey. Although Zhou Yan drove there in person and witnessed the end of the "ghosts and ghosts", the man didn't say anything.

Zhou Yan even asked her if it was fun.

With drunken eyes, Song Zhi thought of the boy's bombardment of text messages, the thrilling game of spinning the bottle, and the kiss that turned the world upside down.

She smiled to herself, and murmured: "Anyway, there will be no more in this life..."

The daughter's voice was so soft that Zhou Yan didn't hear it clearly, but through the car mirror, he felt that she was very happy.

The man raised his lips. He wanted to say a few words about his daughter, but forget it, the indulgence on the eve of parting is understandable.

Song Zhi drank more than last time, she completely trusted Zhou Yan, her nerves were completely relaxed after getting in the car, and she soon fell into a dream.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

The hangover and the cold wind blowing wildly in the middle of the night, although he didn't fall down again, it was still choking. She was too lazy to go downstairs to eat, so she ordered some porridge and snacks, and then casually collapsed on the sofa again.

After pondering for a while, she still reported to Zhou Yichan about her upcoming trip back to China.

Although during the exchange, they had agreed on a period of two months.

But this trip to London was so exciting and ups and downs that Song Zhi actually had a feeling that he had no regrets to leave. Perhaps, Zhou Yichan did the same after visiting the Northwest?

She thinks that it is necessary to ask Zhou Yichan's thoughts in advance to plan ahead.

The porridge order came quickly, Song Zhi picked out an electronic pickled mustard, and waited for the reply from the other side while eating.

Unexpectedly, before Zhou Yichan could hear back, he received Jiang Shuyue's questioning.

The girl sent it an anonymous chat record in Zhou Yichan's class group:

[Wow, is there anyone playing Little Red Book? I found an internet celebrity hiding in our school. 】

【Little Red Book Sharing: [Miss Shu's Secret Base]】

[I recently searched Chen Yan and just found this Miss Shu, how can I be sure it's from our school? ]

[Look at her line of sunset, it is obviously the view from the top floor of Mingzhi Building in the school! ]

[This can be picked up, I said that it would be a pity that you girls don't become detectives...]

[She is currently located in the UK, and she is in F1, a manor, and a yacht. I have an idea] [

Front, I Help you @周公主]

[We have a lot of rich people in our school, this is not Princess Zhou, she doesn't play Little Red Book! 】

The record ends here, followed by Jiang Shuyue's warning:

【Zhou Yichan, I know it's you. It seems that you still don't have a long memory last night. 】

Song Zhi raised his legs and dialed Jiang Shuyue's number.

The other end answered in seconds, and the girl's voice was obviously angry: "Zhou Yichan, my patience has a limit." "

Oh?" Song Zhi also said coldly, "So you think my patience has no limit?"

She replied : "Jiang Shuyue, you are not the only one who has a long mouth. I said, we will die together in the worst case. Since you crossed the line first, of course I have to return the gift." She was indeed taking revenge for what happened to Chen Yan last night

.

On the one hand, Jiang Shuyue wanted to vent her anger last night, but on the other hand, she wanted to test Zhou Yichan. After all, letting go is letting go, whether you can really let go is another matter.

Now she knew that Zhou Yichan was indeed the same as herself, and would really tell everything to the outside world.

Jiang Shuyue never expected that half a month later, she would be outdone by the tricks she used.

She had to admit that when she opened her eyes and saw her screen name ID in the class group, she did feel unprecedented fear, even worse than when Zhou Yichan caught her weakness.

It was a dread and fear of losing.

Jiang Shuyue was unwilling to accept it, but she was really intimidated.

"Zhou Yichan." She held her confidence up, and finally said: "If you dare to go one step further, I will accompany you to the end."

The beeping busy tone added a bit of momentum to the girl, but Song Zhi chuckled.

She knew that she had made the right move.

Last night, Jiang Shuyue suddenly fired a cold gun on the yacht, disrupting all her expectations and plans. Although she wanted to protect Zhou Yichan, she couldn't just swallow her anger.

When the demon was indulging in carnival, before Song Zhi and Chen Yan dealt with each other, they also put their opponents together.

When she first came to London, Jiang Shuyue told her to have a taste of exposing her weaknesses in full view, and now that she is going back, how can she not let the other party have a taste?

She also spread the other party's secrets to the class group in a subtle way.

Facts have proved that this counterattack is very effective.

From "don't let me teach you every time" to the sentence just now "I will accompany you to the end", Jiang Shuyue is no longer so wanton and calm at this moment.

She was also scared.

So Song Zhi didn't refuse when Zhou Yan said that he would take them to Harrods for shopping, and she even took the initiative to call Jiang Shuyue.

Entering this old-fashioned shopping mall in London, Zhou Yan patiently accompanied them to shop, ranging from hair clips worth a dozen pounds to watches worth hundreds of thousands.

The message conveyed by the man is very obvious: You can shop around, I will pay for everything you see.

However, even so, Jiang Shuyue only concentrates on acting the whole time, a good girlfriend who goes shopping with her friends.

She didn't even mention the tens of thousands of clothes and bags before, and just focused on matching Song Zhi; even Zhou Yan personally said that he would give her a gemstone necklace, which was actually only a few thousand yuan, and she tried her best to decline it. up.

Song Zhi knew it: Jiang Shuyue really began to fear herself. It's not that she didn't want it, but she didn't dare.

From the unscrupulous bullying at the beginning, to the fact that they dare not take it when it is brought to their lips, the trip to London has finally lived up to Zhou Yichan.

Therefore, Song Zhi felt a sense of satisfaction when he set off for the airport that day.

Watching the classical and elegant scenery outside the window flash like a movie lens, and remembering that the dream she had just arrived in London was unreal, she couldn't help but raise her lips silently.

This is indeed a dream, a beautiful dream in the graduation season, gorgeous and magnificent, which makes people sink.

This summer adventure will be the most brilliant, special and unforgettable stroke in her life.

Song Zhi leaned against the car window, using his eyes to describe every scene here for the last time.

Finally, the car carried her back to Heathrow Airport, the starting point of this "sleepwalking in wonderland". She turned her head, and with a contented heart said her last farewell, goodbye to London.

From the beginning to the end today, Song Zhi was full of contentment.

Until the plane started with a bang and flew towards the sky in a rush, the land gradually moving away under her feet grabbed her attention forcefully, causing her high emotions to begin to decline.

Accompanied by the soaring of the iron bird, all the scenes of the trip to London suddenly flashed in Song Zhi's mind.

The romantic bank of the Thames, the bloody Silverstone race track, the crazy day in Notting Hill, the lonely end of the white cliff... the out-of-control yacht party.

Dreamy, frenzied, moved, and indulgent, perhaps the only encounter in her life, is really coming to an end.

When he really wanted to leave this moment, Song Zhi suddenly felt reluctance and sadness.

When the plane finally rushed above the 30,000-foot cloud layer, the girl opened a book, which was "Romance in Notting Hill" given to her by Chen Yan.

The title page came into view, and Song Zhi's eyes welled up with moisture.

Sure enough, there are Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant's signatures on it, which is the most famous line in "Notting Hill":

"How long are you intending to stay here in London?"

(How long will you stay in London?)

"indefinitely "

(Stay indefinitely.)

"How long are you intending to stay here in London?"

(How long will you stay in London?)

"indefinitely"

(Stay indefinitely.) ——The original sentence of the movie "Notting Hill" is to ask "how long will you stay in the UK".
