Ch 45

Chapter 45

"Because I like you!"

The young man growled, instantly extinguishing all the emotional smoke.

The air was silent, the fierce debate came to an abrupt end, and Song Zhi and Zhou Yichan were both stunned across the curtain.

In fact, even Chen Yan fell into a moment of silence.

He squeezed the girl's wrist tightly, and the aggressiveness and impetuosity around him dissipated in an instant, replaced by a stunned stunned look.

Blunting a word, he gave the girl an answer, and at the same time found an explanation for Chen Yan's recent abnormal behavior.

For example, on the night Song Zhijue left, he, who was free and easy about the relationship between men and women, was actually angry and unwilling.

He actually put down all his gestures and still chased after her.

Not only that.

Even if the girl blocked him in all directions and her attitude was so decisive, he was still hesitating these two days whether to go to her again.

If it was in the past, if it was any other person, I'm afraid I would have lost my patience.

He, Chen Yan, has never forced anyone to make things difficult for him, and he has never lowered himself to such an extent for anyone.

Almost decided to forget it.

However, when he was at dusk, he suddenly received a photo of her from a friend.

For some reason, Chen Yan dissipated all his hesitation in an instant. He almost didn't think about it, took the car keys and ran out.

So I drove across several districts of Haishi, from dusk to night. When he set off, he didn't even think about whether she would leave early when he arrived across the district. He also didn't consider whether she was here alone or with friends, whether her arrival would cause trouble.

Whether he will miss it, or whether he will rush it, Chen Yan didn't think about it at all.

He just decided to see her at this moment, so he impulsively came to the girl.

Never has a relationship been so out of order.

Out of control, every move of the girl can easily affect his emotions and lead his actions.

In the past few days, Chen Yan has been confused and upset, unable to find an outlet to explain and vent.

Until he saw her goodbye, until he stretched out his hand to force her to stay at this moment, he finally understood.

Chen Yan's eyes suddenly became determined, he held the girl's wrist tightly, and asked, "Do you understand now?" The unexpected answer, questioning like a catharsis, rushed towards Song Zhi.

While standing still, she saw the sharp and affectionate eyes of the young man, and felt a palpitating oppression. He wanted to escape, but his wrist was firmly controlled by him.

Song Zhi opened his mouth, but couldn't make any syllables at all.

This sudden confession disturbed her heart and confused her mind. Just like the night when the boy kissed her, her breathing stopped suddenly, her ears ringing, her eyes became dizzy, and her world fell into chaos.

The only feeling is that Chen Yan's palm is very hot, like a scorching heat.

Simply incapable of thinking or answering.

Song Zhi could only stand there devastated and let himself be controlled.

Fortunately, the boy didn't intend to press to the end.

Seeing her silent for a long time, Chen Yan, who was holding her in his hand, suddenly got up with his strength and stood up abruptly. Song Zhi, under the traction, slammed into him lightly.

Chen Yan completely gave up being a gentleman, and with a heavy pull of his arm, he pulled the girl in front of him.

"Zhou Yichan."

He called Song Zhi, leaned his head against her ear and said, "So I don't care why you approach me, and I won't break up with you in the future." The boy looked sideways, his eyelashes almost touching her face.

He said to her like a vicious wild dog: "Miss, see you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yan finally let her go and walked away.

The crisis came into contact for a while, but Song Zhi still stood there as if he had lost his soul.

It wasn't until the dazzling car rainbow flashed outside the window, and the sound of the arrogant engine shattered the silence of the night, that she regained her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream.

The arrogant sports car disappeared in an instant, and the store was completely safe, but Zhou Yichan, who was separated by a curtain, did not immediately come to Song Zhi's eyes.

I don't know if he was astonished like her, or he was enduring, unwilling to embarrass her.

But no matter what, it is a fact that she messed things up in front of the girl herself, and escaping is not her style. After thinking about it, she decided to solve the immediate problem first.

Song Zhi took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to open the door curtain, and sat back facing Zhou Yichan again.

The girl's eyes were really embarrassed, but she didn't blame her when she opened her mouth, but asked with concern: "Song Zhi, are you okay?" "

I'm sorry, Yichan." She took the initiative to explain, "When I was exchanging with you, I approached Chen Yan in order to get closer to the truth. As a result—"

She lowered her eyes, guilty and guilty: "But she made things so confusing and complicated."

"Really I'm sorry." Song Zhi apologized again.

"No need to apologize!"

Seeing her blaming herself, Zhou Yichan immediately said, "I don't mean to blame you."

She said, "I know Jiang Shuyue's character, and you want to investigate and explore under her pressure. The truth is too normal. Moreover, what will happen during the exchange is unpredictable, and I fully understand and accept it!" The girl sincerely expressed that she didn't mind, and looked at her sincerely.

Song Zhi believes the truth of this statement, but she still intends to take responsibility for it.

"Thank you, Yichan." She promised, "Don't worry, this matter happened because of me, and I will handle it properly."

Zhou Yichan hummed lightly, and immediately fell silent.

The girl looked away from time to time, and then stared at her again, repeated several times, but hesitated to speak.

Song Zhi felt it, and asked calmly: "You don't believe me, do you think I will run away?" , how do you plan to respond?"

Song Zhishang was stunned.

The young man's words "I like you" reappeared in her mind instantly, disturbing her calm heart again. In fact, she doesn't know how to solve it at all now.

After pondering for a while, Song Zhicai replied, "I don't know. I will try my best to find a way. But—" She squatted down, a little embarrassed to speak.

"But what?" Zhou Yichan asked.

Song Zhi gritted her teeth and made a false request: "Can you extend the period of our exchange?"

Afraid that the girl would think too much, she immediately explained: "This matter can only be resolved with your identity. When I tell Chen Yan this After the matter is completely sorted out, I will give you a peaceful life."

"Of course."

Zhou Yichan gave her a comforting smile, and agreed without thinking, "Take it slowly, don't rush. I will leave it to you to decide when to exchange. Let's go!"

Song Zhiwei opened his mouth.

After a long time, I just said solemnly: "Thank you."

Zhou Yichan held her hand, but said: "It's okay. I choose the time to start, and you decide the time to end. It's fair." After much

tossing, Song Zhi finally returned to Zhou family.

Obviously only left for a day, far away, seeing this villa standing quietly in the summer night, it feels like a lifetime away.

Song Zhi walked forward slowly, and stopped suddenly when he reached the door. She stood in front of the door as if she was feeling like nostalgia, and didn't enter the password for a long time.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door was opened from the inside.

In the next moment, Zhou Yan's tall figure appeared in front of him.

The man held a cigarette between his fingers and looked like he was going out to light it.

Seeing his daughter come back, he put away the cigarette, and asked softly, "Why is it so late—"

Halfway through speaking, Song Zhi suddenly opened his arms and hugged Zhou Yan.

"Dad!" She cut off her father's question and said sincerely, "I miss you so much."

When she left the screening room last night, Song Zhi was ready for a farewell.

Going back from morning to night, seeing each other again at this moment, to her, was a complete surprise of finding something lost.

She couldn't contain her emotion.

After his daughter grew up, he never hugged Zhou Yan again. He obviously didn't expect this move, and his face was slightly dazed.

After a pause, he gently embraced his daughter and said, "Didn't you just meet yesterday? Why did you say that suddenly? Did you encounter something unhappy?"

Remembering that the man specially played "The Shawshank Redemption" for him last night, Song Zhi couldn't help laughing.

She let go of Zhou Yan, her eyes were real and light: "No. It's just that I was scolded by too many coaches when I was learning to drive, so that I felt more affectionate when I saw my father every day when I went home!" In fact, it was pure nonsense, but because of her smile came from the heart, and Zhou Yan believed it.

He also followed with a smile: "That's good. Dad was worried about your condition yesterday, but now I feel more at ease."

Thinking about the mood of an adolescent girl, it is like the sky in April, and it will change as soon as it changes. .

Zhou Yan didn't ask any more questions, and patted his daughter on the shoulder to urge him, "Go in and wash up and go to bed early, and Dad will come back after smoking a cigarette." "

Yeah." Song Zhi nodded, not intending to be too pretentious.

She pushed open the door and returned to the small room in the corner of the third floor.

The little episode with Zhou Yan unexpectedly made Song Zhi regain his composure, and began to be able to sort out Chen Yan's affairs.

In the dead of night and the wind still, she lay in bed tossing and turning, her mind constantly replaying the boy's confession.

In fact, it is not the first time that Song Zhi has been confessed by the opposite sex.

During her middle school career, she also received love letters and was even confessed at school celebrations. At that time, Song Zhi was calm and straightforwardly refused.

What about this time? She asked herself, should she refuse decisively this time?

The answer is yes.

Isn't the reason why she extended the exchange period with Zhou Yichan just to sort out these things and completely break off friendship with Chen Yan?

It's very easy to reject someone, just be calmly cruel, don't give a look or even respond. Over time, even the most passionate feelings can fade away.

Just like Song Yumo did to her.

The choice has been made, and the implementation of the plan is also promising, but Song Zhi's heart has become impetuous instead.

She turned over several times in a row before she faintly realized that she might not bear to treat Chen Yan like that.

No one knows better than her, the heartache and desolation after being extinguished, she can't bear to do to the boy what she doesn't want.

But it seems like it must be done.

Song Zhi changed his mind and comforted himself, maybe Chen Yan didn't like Chen Yan as much as she imagined?

He was originally a wild and unruly slut, and there was never a shortage of flowers to admire around him. How sincere would his love be? After all, he was not the real Zhou Yichan at all, but he didn't realize that.

Does Chen Yan like Zhou Yichan or Song Zhi?

Or, it is simply "Zhou Yichan played by Song Zhi", a false phantom.

Maybe, she thought, the boy just had a novelty about false appearances, so he acted on a whim.

Thinking of this, Song Zhi's restless heart slowly returned to calm.

Consciousness gradually blurred, but the idea of ​​refusing became more and more clear...

because Chen Yan said "see you tomorrow" when he confessed.

The next day, Song Zhi got up early, and still chose the time for the first practice in the morning to go to the driving school.

She knew that the teenager had a bad schedule, and she always liked to practice driving in the afternoon when there were the fewest people, so she went so early on purpose to avoid him.

The first step in rejection is to ignore. Ignore the other person, ignore what he says.

He wanted to meet, but Song Zhibian didn't see him.

As a result -

she took a few steps into the driving school when she saw the arrogant Lamborghini Maverick parked here last night.

Song Zhi stopped immediately, hesitated for a while, and finally walked towards the training ground calmly.

From afar, I saw the young man still in the same red shirt and black trousers, leaning on the tree trunk and chatting happily with the two coaches. And beside them, in the huge training ground, there was no one there today.

This is very abnormal.

If I remember correctly, among their students in this period, there are several girls who are afraid of the sun, and they usually come to the driving school at this time.

Song Zhi deliberately ignored Chen Yan.

She stepped forward and asked the coach suspiciously: "Coach, why is there no one today?"

"Here." The coach stared at Chen Yan with a smile, "This racing driver donated a batch of VR driving simulators to our driving school, and the students are all going to experience new gadgets.

" Do you want to go to the first floor over there?"

"You students are lucky. Driver Chen said that since the donation is here, let your students who are learning to drive experience it." The coach said with emotion, "When the test is over today , our driving school tuition is about to increase."

Song Zhi was taken aback for a moment.

In fact, when she was choosing a driving school, she learned that some schools can practice in VR. She was actually very interested, but the tuition fees of those driving schools were generally higher.

The name on the driver's license was "Song Zhi" after all, so in the end she chose to settle for the next best thing.

Unexpectedly, in order to pursue her, Chen Yan arranged a VR simulator for the driving school in a big way.

But, how could he think of this, did he mention to him that he wanted to practice VR?

Could it be that she accidentally mentioned it that night when she was enjoying the last indulgence in the karting club, even she couldn't remember it.

Song Zhixin was touched, but shook his head calmly: "No, I like to practice real cars." The

coach was speechless, but still flicked the key: "Okay, then get in the car."

Song Zhi immediately followed the coach, He didn't look at Chen Yan once during the whole process, as if he was an invisible mass of air.

Usually, she only practiced for an hour before leaving.

But today, perhaps because someone was waiting, she still refused to get out of the car after driving for nearly two hours.

In the end, the coach said: "It's almost done. You are already proficient and don't need to practice anymore. I will arrange for you to take the second exam tomorrow." In

addition, other students also just came out of the VR room.

Song Zhi didn't intend to "dominate the car", so he had no choice but to nod: "Thank you, the coach has worked hard."

Dodging and returning to the tree, Chen Yan seemed impatient to wait, and left.

Song Zhi breathed lightly, stepped on the mottled sunlight, and turned to go outside.

He went all the way to the bus stop and sat down, but the boy didn't show up either. She thought, fortunately, Chen Yan's patience was less than she imagined.

It is estimated that after a few more times, he will feel bored.

The waiting bus arrives quickly.

Song Zhi got up, and just walked to the boarding gate, the voice of the young man Lang Lang suddenly sounded behind him.

"Wow, Miss, you are so cruel."

She gave a sudden pause and turned her head sideways.

In the blazing summer light, Chen Yan walked towards her with two cans of condensed Coke in his hand.

Finally, the boy stood still in front of her, casting a cool shadow.

Song Zhi heard him complain: "I've been waiting here for you all night, and you really want to leave without telling me a word?"
