Fairytale Shelf Life [MTL]

Ch 32

Chapter 32

Maybe everything I encountered in London was too beautiful, and Song Zhi still felt sad after returning to China for several days.

At night, she also dreamed of the sound of engines spinning on the asphalt track, and the night tide and the ringing bells of the Thames.

And Zhou Yichan never replied to the message.

When she was still in London, she reported her itinerary to return to China, and asked Zhou Yichan what her plans were in the future. In the end, she returned to her hometown, but the other party still did not respond.

Song Zhi imagined the scene where she and Song Yumo hit it off again and chose the same destination to fly away, and couldn't help but have the illusion that they were a biological mother and daughter. There were moments when she wondered if Zhou Yichan would be like herself, and hoped that they could stay where they are now forever.

But in an instant, Song Zhi would forcibly cut off such thoughts.

Because she knew deep down that this was all a delusion born of her liking and enjoying being Zhou Yichan too much.

But it's not Song Zhi's fault either.

Not only has Zhou Yichan remained silent recently, but even Jiang Shuyue has suddenly stopped. However, Ms. Shu's account has updated the notes of the yacht party, as if sending a signal that she is willing to check and balance a temporary truce.

Therefore, she only meets Zhou Yan every day.

In the early morning, when Song Zhi and Zhou Yan had breakfast at the same table, the man would ask her what plans she had for the day. She didn't feel any discomfort from being monitored, and casually said that she was going out to collect folk songs, so she went out to get acquainted with the most prosperous city in the country leisurely.

And every night, as long as she was at home, Zhou Yan would rush back to have dinner with her.

It was like this for three days in a row.

On the fourth night, Song Zhi couldn't hold back and asked, "Dad, is the CEO so leisurely? You actually come home from work on time every day?" In her memory,

the CEOs in Song Yumo's works were all workaholics, while those in reality Which of the big bosses of the listed company hasn't entertained yet? There is no one like Zhou Yan. It takes half a month to accompany his daughter on a trip abroad, but he was able to get home before seven o'clock in the evening when he just came back!

Song Zhi was really curious about his work and the reason why he came home on time.

She intuitively felt that it should not be such a simple answer to work and leisure.

There was obvious doubt and thirst for knowledge in her daughter's eyes. Zhou Yan paused for a moment before asking, "Did you really forget?

"

Zhou Yan seemed to have succeeded in persuading himself, saying: "That's right, you just started elementary school then, so it's normal to forget."

Song Zhixin guessed, and tentatively asked: "I asked Dad?"

Zhou Yan nodded lightly and told her: "You The best friend in the first grade of elementary school, Peng Siyao, her mother prepares food every day for her to come home for dinner. Once you went to visit, but you didn't want to go home at midnight, and you cried so much that all the neighbors came over There's a knock on the door."

Speaking of this, the man chuckled suddenly.

Then he said: "They were worried about child abuse, and you called the police because you were scared in a big house alone. You said you wanted to stay at a friend's house, eat and sleep with her, and you said you wanted to Be their child."

"So since then, has Dad tried his best to go home and eat with me?"

"Yeah."

Song Zhi was startled for a moment.

She remembered that when she was a child, she often envied other classmates who had parents to pick them up, and could tell their parents about the joy and troubles of the day during meals. In fact, until the day she graduated from the college entrance examination, she was still looking forward to it. Unfortunately, she didn't have a soft-hearted mother.

Even if the mother's workplace is at home, the number of times their mother and daughter have dinner together is also very small.

But she only found out today that there are parents in this world who will try their best to go home and have dinner with their daughter even if they are busy with everything.

Song Zhi lowered her eyes, no wonder, recently she often has the illusion that this is her home.

It is true that someone is working hard to create the warmth of a home for her.

The girl stared at the food on the plate, seeing that delusions were about to arise again, Zhou Yan interrupted it.

"By the way, Xiaochan." The man said suddenly, "I need to confirm with you about something."

Song Zhi came back to his senses: "What?" Zhou

Yan asked, "Are you and that classmate Jiang really good friends?" ?"

Song Zhi was taken aback.

Zhou Yan put it more bluntly: "If you encounter a problem, you can tell me." He said, "Dad will help you solve it."

Although when he first entered London, Song Zhi tried to give the man a secret code, hoping that he would find out about his daughter's abnormality.

But now, he really saw the clues, and she wondered: "Why do you ask that?"

Jiang Shuyue has always pretended to be very good in front of Zhou Yan. Whenever he is present, she is cheerful, generous and very measured. Make any over-the-top requests.

In all fairness, if the identity is changed, from Zhou Yan's point of view, she will definitely not be troubled by getting along in such a short time.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan said, "A lot of details."

"For example?" Song Zhi asked.

"She didn't show up once when you were sick. Also," Zhou Yan paused, he added, "My daughter looked a little aggrieved on the night of dinner on the banks of the Thames." In fact, there are more details: always

generous His daughter invited friends to go abroad, but abnormally did not book a first-class flight; he also heard about the smell of gunpowder at the auction that day; In the lead.

But afraid that his daughter would think that he was monitoring her again, Zhou Yan only pointed out the two most obvious ones.

Because of this, Song Zhi underestimated the man's carefulness. At this moment, she didn't think too much, and only focused on Jiang Shuyue.

After pondering for a moment, she didn't answer directly, but said: "No matter what kind of problem, will Dad help me solve it, what if I am the one who did something wrong?" Zhou Yan said without thinking, "Then I will help you correct it.

"

"What if I made a huge mistake and even broke the law?" Song Zhi asked.

The rational Zhou Yan suddenly fell silent, as if seriously thinking about whether he would cover up his daughter if she broke the law.

After a while, the man replied: "I don't know. But Dad will always stand in front of you, so Xiaochan, you have to tell me what you did wrong first.

" Trying to cover up your posture.

Song Zhi was a little surprised, but felt that this was Zhou Yan. Although she has a strong desire to control, she will unconditionally support her daughter.

But——

Song Zhi smiled, not really confessing: "Just kidding, how dare I break the law."

She said: "Jiang Shuyue and I are fine. Even if something really happened, we will part ways when the university starts, so Dad don't worry Well, I have a sense of proportion."

The promise of a man is enough, everything is not yet settled, Song Zhi did not intend to show Zhou Yichan to her father without authorization.

Zhou Yan remained silent again, looking thoughtful.

Song Zhi thought he would ask, but he didn't expect him to speak again, and he said something completely irrelevant.

"Xiao Chan, you finally chose the Academy of Fine Arts." The man said firmly.

Song Zhi was stunned for a while before realizing that Zhou Yan was talking about college entrance examination volunteers.

When Jiang Shuyue was in London, she made no secret of her love for racing cars. She expressed more than once that she would apply for relevant colleges, and she also expressed in front of Zhou Yan that she wanted to go to the same university as Xiao Chan. At this moment, she stated that she wanted to part ways with Jiang Shuyue. The man thought it was normal for her daughter to pursue art firmly.

In fact, Song Zhi still doesn't know what Zhou Yichan's final choice will be.

As soon as she returned to China, she had already applied decisively to Zhou Yan's alma mater, T University. When filling out the application form, she had also asked Zhou Yichan's scores and ideal colleges online, but she had not received a response for a long time.

Now facing Zhou Yan, who was indifferent to joy and sorrow, Song Zhi didn't know how to answer for a while.

Tomorrow is the deadline to fill in the undergraduate batch of volunteers. In fact, men will be disappointed sooner or later, but inexplicably, she can't bear to let him fail at this moment.

After thinking about it, Song Zhi gave him the last ray of hope: "Tomorrow night, at midnight tomorrow night, can I tell you the final answer?" It's

just to delay the time of disappointment. Inexplicably brought a bit of surprise.

It was as if he really believed his false claims.

That night, Song Zhi clicked on the dialog with Zhou Yichan again, and all he saw was her own speech:

【Yichan, tomorrow we will end our trip to London. What about you, are you still in the northwest? ]

[Take a break, your stress will be released, and I have also found something to check and balance on Jiang Shuyue's side. After that, do you want to continue the exchange? ]

[Yichan, I fell in love with racing during this trip, so today I filled in your father's alma mater T University! ]

[I always forgot to ask, are you doing well in the college entrance examination? Did you choose your dream or your father in the end? ]

Both messages were sent this week, but there was no news twice.

If it wasn't for the middle, Song Zhi would have wondered if something happened to Zhou Yichan when she saw that Song Yumo had posted a mountain climbing Moments.

Now that the situation was urgent, she simply withdrew and called Zhou Yichan's number.

During the exchange, they had agreed that if there was an emergency, they would call directly.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off..."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yichan's cell phone was turned off.

out of battery? Lost your phone? Or are there other unexpected situations?

Song Zhi panicked for a moment, but she suppressed it quickly, and calmly dialed her mother Song Yumo's number.

"I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off..."

The same cold prompt came to her ears, and her heart sank rapidly.

Maybe it was because they just learned about Chen Xichuan's accident recently, at this moment, the first thought that flashed in Song Zhi's mind was: Will there be any accidents for them?

Panic kept pouring out from the bottom of her heart, and she could no longer force herself to remain calm.

Rationality prevented Song Zhi from making a decision right away. She waited anxiously in the room for an hour, trying to rule out reasons such as the dead battery of her mobile phone.

After a long hour, she redialed the number impatiently, but both of them were still turned off.

The loss of contact between Song Yumo and Zhou Yichan broke Song Zhibeng's nerves. She almost didn't think too much, and immediately rushed to Zhou Yan's room door.

After knocking and knocking, the man opened the door and saw his distraught daughter.

"Father!" Song Zhi blurted out, "Something went wrong!"

Zhou Yan paused slightly, put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly, what happened?

" Calm, suddenly silent.

These days, she and Zhou Yan get along like a pair of biological father and daughter, so that when she encounters a crisis, she instinctively seeks her father's help. But, she is actually a fake daughter.

At this time, if she asks him to find out the whereabouts of Song Yumo and Zhou Yichan, it means that the exchange will be exposed soon, and her dream will come to an end.

"Xiao Chan?" Seeing her silence, Zhou Yan asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

Song Zhi met his concerned gaze, feeling extremely reluctance and sadness in his heart, even more than the moment he left London.

But her dream is obviously not worth mentioning in front of human life.

Song Zhi took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"Father." She called Zhou Yan that way for the last time, and she looked over with determination, "Actually, I'm not really—"

The words "Zhou Yichan" had already poured into her throat, and the moment she was about to say them, she was caught A rush of bells interrupted.

Song Zhi suddenly stopped, lowered his eyes, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's okay!" She changed the subject sharply, "It seems that I'm thinking too much!"

After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and ran away, coming and going in a hurry, the initial anxiety and the sudden relief at the moment were completely unadulterated.

Zhou Yan was puzzled, thinking about the call notes he had just seen.

"another", another, who would the daughter set up such a note for? And so concerned about it, emotional ups and downs.

Song Zhi couldn't care less about this.

She didn't have the time to worry about what Zhou Yan would think, so she got on the phone as soon as she closed the door and said, "Yichan, why have you disappeared for so many days? I'm so worried about you!" "I'm sorry, but I'll explain this to you later

. May I?"

At the other end, Zhou Yichan's tone sounded a little anxious, "Song Zhi, can you go downstairs now? There is a very important item that needs your help!" Song Zhi was slightly startled, but still suppressed his ups and

downs Emotionally asked: "What is it, are

you in a hurry?" "It's very urgent, I have to pick it up!" Zhou Yichan urged, "And, don't let my dad find out."

Song Zhi then agreed: "Okay, then don't wait Hang up the phone, I have a lot to ask you later."

"Yes!" Zhou Yichan also readily agreed.

Song Zhicai opened the door lightly, confirmed that Zhou Yan was in the room, and then quickly went downstairs.

However, when she arrived downstairs, she found that there was no one there.

She raised her phone and said in confusion, "There is nothing."

Zhou Yichan said, "Go out of the iron gate, turn right, and go to the rose garden at the corner, and the things are there."

Song knew he was there, and strode out . At the corner, she suddenly stopped and stood still, her face full of astonishment.

Unexpectedly—the thing in Zhou Yichan's mouth would be herself.

The girl who was supposed to be far away in the northwest was standing in front of her at this moment, smiling brightly with her crooked eyes.

Song Zhi was startled.

And the girl pushed the suitcase out, ran towards her, and hugged her: "Surprise!"
