Fairytale Shelf Life [MTL]

Ch 17

Chapter 17

Chen Yan's words slapped Jiang Shuyue's face hard like a loud slap.

Her smile froze instantly, and her face was red and full of embarrassment.

Not only was he humiliated by the person he cared about the most, but also because of the looseness in the eyes of Tao Jia, who believed in her deeply.

Ever since Tao Jia met Jiang Shuyue, the "Miss Zhou" in Chen Yan's mouth has been quiet and silent. She thought it was because she was afraid of showing cowardice, that Zhou Yichan, like herself, was an ordinary friend who followed Ms. Shu to "snap shots".

However, at this moment, Chen Yan knew that she liked this book so much, and knew that she had been questioned because of it, but she wanted to take this book for Zhou Yichan.

Could it be... the fact is just the opposite, Miss Shu is not as powerful as she thought at all, she is the foil?

With questioning eyes, Jiang Shuyue's nerves were stretched to the limit.

A sense of guilt brings endless embarrassment and panic.

In an instant, the despicable feelings she tried to hide gushed out from the bottom of her heart, like being stripped naked and hanging on a frying pan. It was both shameful and dangerous. Once she couldn't tell a good lie, she would be doomed forever.

Seeing the humiliation and anxiety on his face that flushed and then paled, Song Zhi felt delighted, but——

she glanced at Jiang Shuyue more anxiously, then lowered her head.

She was caught off guard and anxious, as if she didn't know anything about Chen Yan's actions.

From the corner of her eye, Chen Yan had a panoramic view of the girl's performance.

He coughed lightly, but he didn't know if he was complaining about her exaggeration, or urging Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue understood it as urging her.

Her palms were covered with sweat, and her heart was full of humiliation, but she had to smile brighter than ever.

"How could I mind it!" Jiang Shuyue hugged Song Zhi quickly, the embarrassment and anxiety on her face were swept away, she made it up, "Actually, I resisted not taking it, even knowing that Yichan also likes it very much Lah. I don't want to take away people's love, I didn't expect Yichan to maintain the same tacit understanding with me and didn't raise my placard."

She seemed to have lied to herself, convinced that this was the truth, and her tone relaxed again: "This is just right now, as a gift, it is the most worthwhile! My best friend got it, there is nothing better than this. You say Right, Yichan?"

The girl adjusted her state so quickly, and quickly came up with a way to save her respect.

Song Zhi looked sideways at her, with admiration in his eyes. After a slight pause, she finally chose to cooperate with him, and said "um" with a smile.

At the same time, the auctioneer dropped the hammer and announced that Chen Yan had won the item.

Song Zhi felt that Jiang Shuyue hugged herself even tighter, like a drowning person hugging driftwood, as long as he let go, he would die. She also noticed Tao Jia on the side, with a dubious expression on his face, as if he was still analyzing the authenticity of Jiang Shuyue's retaliation.

After a while, the auction ushered in today's little easter egg - Chen Yan's helmet.

The auctioneer vividly explained how this helmet meant a lot to the boy. Only then did Song Zhi know that the helmet was a charity auction, no matter how much the price was sold, it would be donated in full, and Xichuan Manor and Ferrari would add an additional 1 million pounds to the transaction price.

Song Zhiyuan's plan was to choose this helmet and let Chen Yan find a way to take a picture of himself, so that Jiang Shuyue could not fulfill his wish.

But now—

she glanced at Tao Jia who seemed to regard Jiang Shuyue as a rich man, and suddenly changed her mind.

"Shuyue," Song Zhi handed her number plate to the girl and said, "Thank you for letting go, but you can't leave empty-handed. Don't you like this one too, take it away." Jiang Shuyue

suddenly Startled.

Although she had told Zhou Yichan to help her take off Chen Yan's helmet, she knew better than anyone else that Zhou Yichan would definitely resist. Just now, Tao Jia's pressing step by step and Chen Yan's unexpectedness almost made her unable to get off the stage. She thought Zhou Yichan was going to take the opportunity to expose her bottom line and rebel.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually wanted to help her lie and help her regain her face when she landed?

Zhou Yichan would be so kind to herself? Jiang Shuyue didn't believe it.

She was on alert immediately, but of course, she took the number plate for auction. No matter what kind of conspiracy Zhou Yichan has, at least, taking a photo of Chen Yan's helmet with the number plate in person is of great benefit to her.

The auction starts quickly, there is no starting price, and the bidding is completely free.

In order to regain her dignity, Jiang Shuyue was the first to bid.

"100,000." She tentatively gave a number that was not too high, but not too low.

Perhaps because of its charitable nature, the second bidder only added £50,000. In this way, Jiang Shuyue will not appear petty.

"200,000", "300,000", "350,000"... The asking price is slowly increasing.

Jiang Shuyue clenched her number plate tightly and glanced at Chen Yan from the corner of her eye.

She sat up unconsciously, took a deep breath, and when she held up the placard again, imitated the boy's calm tone and said: "1 million." The price increase stopped abruptly, and the auctioneer began to repeat the

high price given by the girl: "100 million." 10,000, once; 1,000,000, twice—"

Jiang Shuyue held her breath, praying in her heart that no one would increase the price, otherwise, her momentum would be greatly reduced!

As if even the sky was helping her, the next second, the auctioneer dropped the hammer and announced: "1 million for the third time, congratulations to this lady from 2217 for getting the easter egg in this auction, congratulations!" Suddenly, the audience burst into applause

.

And Tao Jia looked at her with trust and admiration again, and the girl's expression was more excited than her: "My God, Miss Shu, you are so awesome, you took down Chen Yan's helmet so easily! And the 1 million It's supporting charity, really worthy of Ms. Shu's style!"

The applause and flattery overwhelmed Jiang Shuyue, causing her to temporarily put down all her defenses.

In fact, she didn't expect that she could get the lot she wanted so easily.

Jiang Shuyue had completely forgotten the humiliation not long ago, she held Song Zhi sweetly, and she seemed to be showing a bit of real tenderness under the affectation: "This is all thanks to Yichan for giving up, I just wasted a little bit of saliva."

"Well, Miss Shu and Yichan's girlfriends are also very enviable!" Tao Jia has completely believed at this moment that Jiang Shuyue and Zhou Yichan are good girlfriends in the circle of socialites.

Song Zhi keenly noticed that Tao Jia's title was wrong.

Since she calls herself "Yichan" familiarly, it is impossible to call Jiang Shuyue "Miss Shu" distantly. There is only one explanation: in Tao Jia's consciousness, "Miss Shu" is a very intimate reference, just like Yichan.

Song Zhi then smiled at Tao Jia and extended an invitation: "Jia Jia, you are too sweet, we will play together at the party later." "

Okay!"

Jiang Shuyue suddenly woke up from her sweet dream, and she suddenly realized: Maybe Zhou Yichan noticed something and wanted to get in closer contact with Tao Jia.

But Zhou Yichan's personality is quite good, and the other party's posture is normal at the moment, so she is not completely sure.

There were too many mistakes, so she could only enthusiastically agree: "You are welcome to join!"

However, Jiang Shuyue still had the precautions she should have.

Throughout the auction and the after party, she deliberately dragged Song Zhi and Tao Jia into the crowd. When there are more people, there are more topics to talk about, and she can naturally avoid talking about her own affairs.

Song Zhi couldn't find a chance to be alone with Tao Jia, let alone get some useful news.

This is not going to work. After thinking about it, she finally set her sights on Chen Yan who was in the middle of the crowd.

It was extremely difficult for Song Zhi to be alone with Tao Jia, but it was easy with Chen Yan.

As night fell and the dinner party was about to begin, she saw Zhou Yan and Chen Yan coming with a middle-aged man. Compared with Zhou Yan, this man looks more dignified and older. The most important thing is that his eyebrows and eyes are 70% similar to Chen Yan.

Song Zhi no longer missed the battle with Jiang Shuyue, and got up and left the table because he wanted to "greeting with the elders".

Someone obviously relaxed a lot immediately, but she kept her composure and quickened her pace.

Walking in front of the three of them, Song Zhi called Zhou Yan first, then looked at the man beside him and said, "Hello, Uncle Chen."

"It's Xiaochan." Father Chen's majestic eyebrows and eyes softened immediately, "Uncle Chen always thinks that you are the little guy who is following Xi Chuan, time is so fast, you will become a big girl in a blink of an eye." It is clearly a very normal

sentence Emotional, but the emotions of the three of them seemed to be emotional in an instant, especially Chen Yan, whose air pressure was extremely low for a while.

Song Zhi felt something, and repeated the word "Xichuan" in his mind.

This manor is called "Xichuan Manor". Judging from Father Chen's tone, "Xichuan" should be alone. She intuitively felt that perhaps, their emotions at the moment were all related to this "Xichuan".

But because he didn't know the inside story, Song Zhi didn't dare to ask questions rashly. Moreover, she still has more important things in her heart, and she can't distract herself from exploring for the time being.

After pondering for a moment, Song Zhi only said: "Uncle Chen is not blaming me, he hasn't visited you for so long, has he?" Then she looked at Zhou Yan, blinked innocently and said, "It's not that I don't want to, just I can blame some parents for assigning too much homework, and I didn't go out a few times in the whole high school."

The three of them showed their faces again after hearing this.

Chen's father smiled the most: "Then Xiao Chan had a lot of fun today, and I will help you educate your father later!"

Song Zhi followed Wan Yan: "It's better to be Uncle Chen."

Father Chen was so coaxed by her With a smile in her eyes, she asked Chen Yan to take her to play, and the two parents would not bother her.

In a few words, Song Zhi fulfilled his wish to be alone with the young man.

As soon as the two parents left, Chen Yan circled around her and looked at her.

"What are you doing?" Song Zhi reached out and grabbed him.

Chen Yan stopped, his eyes full of novelty: "Last time at the track, I didn't believe you lied to your dad, but today I really gained knowledge." I don't know whether it is a loss or a compliment, he said, "It's okay Zhou Yichan, now There are different ways to coax parents."

Song Zhi knew that he was joking, but she looked at him and asked seriously, "Is this not good?"

Chen Yan was stunned, all the indecency on her body put away.

"Very good." He said bluntly, "Compared with before, I like your current state better."

The boy's eyes with peach blossom petals look at you and say such words, which will give rise to some ambiguous illusions.

Song Zhi knew better than anyone else that in fact all the changes were due to the change of people.

But she still couldn't help asking him: "What state am I in now?" "

Now." Chen Yan smiled narrowly, "I'm in a state of bullying."

Song Zhi almost instantly understood that he was alluding to himself What the afternoon did at the auction.

But she was not annoyed, and instead said bluntly to the young man: "Then—can you help me 'bully' someone again, can you?

" Benefits?"

Song Zhi knew that there was something to be done, and said kindly, "I'll tell you when the help is over." "

No birthday present, no thank-you fee for helping you bully others, and the salary for the second dispatch is still in arrears." Chen Yan counted them one by one, Then he folded his arms and stared at her, "Why didn't I find that Miss Zhou was so stingy before?"

Facing the teenager's complaints and doubts, Song Zhi didn't know what guilt was. She looked directly into Chen Yan's gaze, and even slapped her upside down

: "Why didn't I find out that Young Master Chen is so grumpy before?"

Tell me."

Song Zhi rolled her eyelashes, hooked her hands to signal the young man to bow his head, and then she whispered to him softly.

When Chen Yan suddenly appeared, Jiang Shuyue and Tao Jia were sitting on a bench on the lawn of the manor having a meal.

Today's dinner was also divided into indoor and outdoor. In the hall, most of the relatives, friends and partners of the Chen family were there. Chen Yan arranged for the young guests to have a buffet outside.

Since Song Zhi never came back, Tao Jia acquiesced that she went to the hall.

Tao Jia really wanted to learn more, so she said to Jiang Shuyue: "Miss Shu, we have been here for a long time, why don't we go in and find Miss Zhou?" She was thinking about how to refuse, when Chen Yan walked towards

her come over.

The boy stood a few steps away and asked her, "Miss Jiang, can I bother you?"

Jiang Shuyue got up and walked over almost immediately.

Chen Yan smiled at her: "The chief engineer of Ferrari is here today. I remember Miss Jiang said last time that she wanted to be a racing engineer, right? If you want, I can introduce you now." Jiang Shuyue's heart skipped a beat

. Bang, looked at the young man in disbelief and was flattered: "Chen Yan, did you come here on purpose to introduce me to the chief engineer of Ferrari?" "

Otherwise?" Chen Yan asked back.

He actually came here specially for her! So last time in the racetrack, I didn't listen to my scriptures in vain, and Chen Yan really remembered her because of this. Moreover, remember this dream for her!

The corners of Jiang Shuyue's lips raised uncontrollably, and she said with a bit of annoyance: "That's right, I thought you came to find Yichan."

Chen Yan came to find her on purpose, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. But she still remembered that last time in the racetrack, Chen Yan threw herself to the engineer and went to find Zhou Yichan!

She didn't want what happened that day to happen again, so she wanted to find out in advance and make plans.

"Don't look for her." The young man froze her, with a provocative tone, "She is busy with the elders introduced by her father, and I will be your interpreter later." That is to say,

Chen Yan will go through the whole process this time accompany her! Moreover, Zhou Yichan happened to be busy with other things, so he would go and return quickly without delaying anything, and he could still be intimate with the person he liked, so why not do it?

Jiang Shuyue tried her best to control her ecstasy: "That's it, then I'll trouble you!"

After giving the young man an affirmative answer, she immediately turned to look at Tao Jia.

Just a few steps away, Tao Jia heard every word of their conversation.

There was no need for Jiang Shuyue to speak, she smiled ambiguously: "Go, go, I'll be here waiting for you to come back and share your experience!" "

Then, let's go?" Jiang Shuyue looked into the boy's eyes again.

Chen Yan responded lightly, and led her into the box of the motorcade.

Inside sat Ferrari and core figures of Chen Yan's current F2 team. He formally introduced that the girl was his friend.

From the moment she stepped into the box, Jiang Shuyue followed closely beside the young man, which made her feel that their relationship was very close, as if she was "his person".

In particular, after taking his seat, Chen Yan was really serious about serving as a bridge between Jiang Shuyue and the chief engineer.

While asking her doubts and needs in Chinese, the young man was patient and gentle; on the other hand, he helped her seek answers from the engineer in English, which was sincere and touching.

Jiang Shuyue stared at his busy face, her ears were full of beating heartbeats.

The picture that I dared to imagine in my dream actually came true at this moment. They were too close, and sometimes Chen Yan's elbow would touch her when he turned sideways. She had only him in her eyes and mind, so that she couldn't hear the words he translated for herself several times.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jiang Shuyue apologized nervously, "Maybe I'm still a little uncomfortable, can I trouble you to explain it again?" She was a little cautious, afraid of

being spotted, and also afraid that Chen Yan would run out of patience and walk away. .

Unexpectedly, the boy comforted her with a smile: "It's okay, don't be nervous. In fact, the team is not that unattainable. After a while, you will find that they are easy to get along with." He didn't blame her for being distracted at all

. As if afraid to scare her, his voice was a little lower.

Jiang Shuyue let go completely and boldly sank into this dream.

She asked about everything: the choice of colleges and universities, the direction of major diversion, language barriers and study abroad plans... She even asked about the food rankings of British colleges and universities.

She doesn't care whether these questions will reveal her birth, she just wants to prolong this dreamy moment infinitely.

This night was too beautiful for Jiang Shuyue, as if she was drunk in the clouds, she forgot all her troubles and vigilance.

Chen Yan escorted her out of the box, and when she came into contact with the outside air, she still felt light, as if she hadn't woken up from a dream.

Until——

Tao Jia, who was supposed to be waiting there, became Song Zhi.

Chen Yan stopped to say goodbye to her: "Let's go here, I won't disturb your sisters' reunion."

Jiang Shuyue's eyes fell on Song Zhi, and she suddenly woke up, remembering that she had stayed in the box for so long, that she forgot about this time bomb!

But she was still calm, first thanked the boy for watching him leave, and then walked slowly towards Song Zhi.

Jiang Shuyue's nerves tensed up immediately, and as she approached Song Zhi, she scanned the surroundings from the corner of her eye, but Tao Jia was indeed nowhere to be seen.

As she approached, she tentatively asked: "Where is Tao Jia? Didn't she say she would wait for me here? Why did she disappear?" "I don't know." But

Song

Zhi answered her nonchalantly: "Maybe I can wait alone. I'm bored, let's go find her friend."

The other party's tone was very natural, and there was nothing unusual in his expression and posture, and he seemed to know nothing.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuyue felt relieved, probably Tao Jia had left long ago and she hadn't been exposed.

She was lucky, and immediately sat beside Song Zhi, and asked impatiently, "Where is my helmet, when can I get it?"

Song Zhi didn't answer, and took a sip of the juice slowly.

Then, she seemingly inadvertently put the phone on the table and said, "In such a hurry, do you want to send it to 'Miss Shu's secret base' quickly?"

Jiang Shuyue turned her head suddenly, and her whole body froze instantly.

She tried to quibble, but after her eyes touched the phone page, she was speechless.

The profile picture of Daisy Cangyue, the background of fireworks in the dark sky, and the ID "Miss Shu's Secret Base" are exactly the homepage of Jiang Shuyue's internet celebrity account.

Her secret, her weakness, was exposed.
