Fairytale Shelf Life [MTL]

Ch 41

Chapter 41

Chen Yan did not immediately respond to messages.

But Song Zhi didn't think much about it at this moment, she and Zhou Yichan both stayed up all night yesterday, and as Chen Xichuan's younger brother, the young man would certainly not feel well.

She only thought that he was the same as herself, who was in urgent need of a deep sleep recovery due to excessive emotional consumption.

Song Zhi took a good night's sleep first, and woke up in the sunny afternoon.

Concerned, she didn't get up in a hurry, she lay on her side on the bed and turned on her phone. Except for Zhou Yan reminding her not to indulge in sorrow too much, to eat on time, and to remember the plan ahead, all other dialogues were silent.

The boy still hasn't responded.

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, then clicked on the dialog box with Zhou Yichan:

[Yichan, I made an appointment to practice driving this afternoon, are you feeling better today? ]

[If you need it, I'm free anytime tonight]

Immediately afterwards, she replied to Zhou Yan, then got up to eat step by step, and set off for the driving school.

As soon as he stepped into the training ground of the second division, the phone ding-dong rang.

Song Zhi was supposed to get in the car for practice, but she took the initiative to move one seat back and check the information first.

[I feel better]

[Song Zhi, let's have dinner together tonight, right here [location sharing]]

The result was Zhou Yichan's response.

Song Zhi sighed softly. Up to now, she had to admit that she had always harbored hidden expectations in her heart.

Chen Yan never played cards according to common sense.

Although he didn't reply for a long time, she was expecting that the boy would fall from the sky and play a surprise game.

However, no.

Everything in the driving school was as usual, except for the sweltering sunshine and helpless admonitions from the coach.

Today is not Song Zhi's first time touching a car, but inexplicably, she remembered her thrilling drifting in London for the first time.

At that time and at this moment, she was sitting in the cab controlling the whole car, and a coach was sitting next to her, and she subconsciously recreated the scene at that time.

Accelerate with your right foot, step on the brake with your left foot at the corner, and slam the steering wheel with your hand.

Huh—

the "old and young" from the driving school drifted around the corner, kicking up a cloud of dust. Of course, because her speed was not considered fast, she actually just flicked her tail and drifted a little.

However, the coach next to him was still holding on to the handrail of the car roof and reprimanded him harshly:

"You're going to play drift for me when you turn at a right angle? If you don't want to learn how to drive, leave as soon as possible. Neither the driving school's car nor the life of the coach can withstand your torment!"

"Also, I've said it 800 times, don't brake with your left foot, use the accelerator with your right foot!"

"I'm so pissed off!"

"You, recalculate the hours of subject two tomorrow, and the exam time will also be moved back. Now, get out of the car, get off A student gets in the car!"

Song Zhi raised his lips silently after being scolded and punished by the coach.

After all, it's still different from that time. The teenager will only think that her speed is too slow, and the real coach will order her to stop when she exceeds 50 yards.

Song Zhi sighed, expelling the memories in his mind.

"I'm sorry." She turned her head and apologized to the coach, "I was too nervous just now, and there will definitely not be a next time." The

coach gave her a look and said nothing.

She knew she was wrong, so she didn't argue too much, she unbuckled her seat belt and obediently got out of the car.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she settled down on the surface, she saw the boy she had been thinking about for a long time descend from the sky.

Chen Yan was standing under the shade of the tree in front of him, the dappled sunlight was shining on him, and he was looking at her with a smile.

The corners of Song Zhi's mouth turned up slightly, the sense of loss was swept away in his heart, and he walked towards him almost without hesitation.

Before she could stand still, she began to interrogate: "Why didn't you reply to my message?"

Maybe it was because the young man was wearing loose clothes today, which made his voice sound a bit lazy.

He said: "How can I see the wonderful performance just now when I go back?"

Chen Yan caught the drift just now!

Song Zhi felt ashamed, raised his eyes to look over, and there was a smile on the young man's face.

On the contrary, she calmed down a little, and replied as a matter of course: "How dare you say, who is to blame for this?" She asked angrily, "It is because of your random guidance in London that I am scolded every day for braking with my left foot and accelerator with my right foot!"

"Okay, it's all my fault."

Chen Yan seemed very happy to be accused, and walked towards her with a smile in his eyes: "From now on, my time will be at the disposal of the eldest lady. If you want to practice driving, you can send it at any time.

" Standing still in front of him, he asked again, "Are you satisfied with this compensation?"

Knowing that he always loves to approach her beyond the boundary to stir her up, Song Zhi was still uncontrollably distracted.

She took a step back, trying to break up the weird atmosphere: "Come on. You have to take the driver's license test, at most, you can pick up my practice car by the way, don't pretend." The

girl refused to be moved by herself, which was funny.

Instead of restraining himself, Chen Yan intensified, pretending to be pitiful after pretending.

"Hey." He felt disappointed, "It's a pity that I gave up the high-paying business and hurried here, but some young ladies said I was pretending." He turned around and pretended to leave, "I think I'd better go." Song Zhi couldn't help laughing

, It was really like a arrogant young lady who said: "Then I will pay. What is the business price, how about I give you double?"

Chen Yan stood still, turned sideways to her, and said meaningfully: "Are you sure you want to pay? I ask the price It's very high."

Facing the boy's playful eyes, Song Zhi suddenly remembered the hush money he charged last time.

The two suddenly fell silent.

Only the humming of cicadas above the green shade is very similar to the humming of the Thames River that night.

The sun was heading westward, and the temperature should obviously drop by a second, but Song Zhi felt that the scorching sun was burning his face and heart.

She saw Chen Yan turning around again, and the old things wanted to repeat themselves, but the old things must not repeat themselves.

"Then I won't give it."

Song Zhi forcefully broke the tacit understanding, and she acted like a fool, "Anyway, it's what you said, and I'll stay when I open my mouth. You're just fulfilling your promise!" Chen Yan stopped and put

away The frivolous and ambiguous face was replaced by unconditional indulgence.

"Okay." He tilted his head to indicate, "Then give the young lady a free lesson now, will it work?"

Song Zhi almost agreed.

When the words reached her throat, she suddenly remembered the agreement with Zhou Yichan, and she shook her head again: "I already have an appointment today, let me inform you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, she patted the boy on the shoulder and walked away with him.

Chen Yan is not in a hurry at this moment. He thought that they still had a lot of opportunities this summer, and he didn't plan to catch up.

Watching the girl's back leave, he chuckled to himself and left in the opposite direction.

After Song Zhi arrived, he realized that the restaurant Zhou Yichan had booked was extremely formal.

Above the pearl, you can have a panoramic view of the river and the steel forest. It is a revolving restaurant overlooking the sea city.

After taking her seat, she looked at the girl in the pink skirt across from her, and then looked at her black and white sweatshirt and said, "If I had known, I would have gone home and changed." Zhou Yichan was taken aback

.

Immediately, she said nervously: "I'm sorry, I was negligent! Otherwise," she suggested, "Let's order the food and ask the waiter to reserve the table first. Can I accompany you to buy a piece of clothing nearby?" "I'll send it to you.

" You!" she added.

The girl is always sensitive and thoughtful, Song Zhi didn't think too much at the moment.

"No need!" She explained with a smile, "I'm just afraid that you're in a bad mood, and I'm joking with you." Afraid that the

other party might not believe it, she emphasized: "The sportswear is comfortable, I like it very much and feel at ease." "

That's good " Zhou Yichan sighed softly, and then handed her the menu, "Order whatever you want, I'll treat you tonight." "

Thank you, princess!" Song Zhi was not polite to her.

After placing an order for a few signature dishes, she cut to the chase: "Yichan, are you really okay? If you're feeling depressed, don't bear it anymore. Tell me, or you can talk to your favorite Auntie Song."

The girl cares about herself so sincerely and ironically.

Therefore, Zhou Yichan didn't want to lie to her, she shook her head: "I don't know. But—"

After confiding in her heart last night, she also thought a lot.

Although, she still couldn't let go, but she didn't want to be a coward as cowardly as before.

In the past month, she had indeed temporarily let go of all her depression by hiding in the northwest. For Jiang Shuyue and Chen Xichuan, these troubles were temporarily far away from her.

But she knew that it was all because Song Zhi was carrying the burden for her.

The girl tentatively asked herself several times, she must have noticed about Chen Yan and Chen Xichuan. Last night, after she heard the truth, she also cried so sadly.

She said, "Together we bear the burden, we redeem our sins together", and it is true.

But all of that had nothing to do with Song Zhi.

It was he who pulled her into the quagmire.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yichan's eyes became more determined.

She straightened her back, looked at the girl seriously, and said, "However, I decided to be brave and face it. So," she paused, solemnly announced, "Song Zhi, let's exchange back!" Song Zhi was stunned for a moment

. .

She never expected that Zhou Yichan would suddenly propose to return to their respective positions at this juncture.

In an instant, Chen Yan's smiling face flashed in her mind, and her first reaction was, what should the swap boy do now?

Too caught off guard, Song Zhi lost his voice for a moment.

Let Zhou Yichan return to Zhou Yichan in shackles, let Song Zhi return to free Song Zhi.

This should be justified, this is the best ending.

She should be happy for Zhou Yichan's courage, but inexplicably, when the other party proposed to return, Song Zhi was suddenly astonished and reluctant.

She was opposed to the exchange at first, but when she was about to return it, she was startled by nostalgia.

For a moment, she even wanted to refuse, and wanted to take the initiative to extend the deadline.

Seeing him without saying a word, Zhou Yichan asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, don't you want to return it for the time being?"

"No!" Song Zhi categorically denied it.

She looked into the girl's eyes and felt guilty for the first time in her history. She lied: "It's just too sudden, I was a little surprised."

Song Zhi didn't indulge her selfishness after all.

Because she understands how difficult it is for Zhou Yichan to take the initiative to take this step. The girl regained her courage, she should support it.

Song Zhi smiled at her: "Yichan, I'm very happy for you, really."

"Song Zhi..."

Zhou Yichan's eyes were sore, she got up and hugged her: "It's you who give me strength , you are my sister sent by heaven. Promise me Song Zhi, even if we change back, we will keep in touch every day like now, okay?"

Song Zhi held her hand: "Of course. Don't forget that we still have to go to school. The same university, nothing will change."

"Yeah!" Zhou Yichan hugged her affectionately for a while before letting go and sitting back.

The dishes were served quickly, and the girl recounted her plans for Song Zhi.

She said that she would rent a two-bedroom house as their secret base in the future; she also said that she would still go out with Song Yumo from time to time, asking if she minded; she was even planning a beautiful itinerary for them after school started... Zhou

Yichan Describing the future intoxicatedly, Song Zhi was still unable to devote himself to it.

It was like returning to the plane that left London, she looked down from mid-air, and had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery under her feet, all her thoughts were on the splendor of the past.

Even the "period meal" carefully arranged by the girl, she ate like nothing.

Zhou Yichan was very affectionate, Song Zhi didn't want to spoil the fun, and responded with a smile from time to time, and occasionally said a few words in line with the plan.

After the meal was over, the girl dragged her back and forth through the bustling neon lights, asking her to choose a gift she liked.

Looking at the gorgeous and exquisite objects in the window, Song Zhi finally couldn't help but say: "Yichan, I do have gifts I want, but they are not these things." Zhou Yichan was slightly startled, and said frankly: "

Song Zhi, are you It's not that I'm not very happy."

The girl is very sensitive to emotions, but she didn't think about exchanging, she just asked: "I see that you have something on your mind, what do you want? As long as I can do it, I will give it to you."

Song Zhideng felt even more ashamed.

But she had to do it, took a little deep breath, and said, "Can you give me two more days? I still have some things I want to do, but only in your name."

Song Zhi wanted to deal with Chen before parting . According to the agreement that Yan had just reached, he said goodbye to Zhou Yandao properly.

But she didn't want to tell Zhou Yichan about these two things.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yichan didn't go into it at all, and immediately agreed: "That's all? Of course, you can do whatever you want, it's not too late!" "Don't

you ask what's the matter?" Song Zhi was slightly surprised .

Zhou Yichan winked at her: "You didn't ask me the bottom line."

The girl didn't mind, but Song Zhi still explained: "Being courageous is something that needs to be done in one go. If it will interrupt your rhythm, I will try my best." Take care of it tonight."

"It's okay." Zhou Yichan said, "You've helped me so much, and I'm glad to have something to give back to you!"

Song Zhi smiled knowingly, all worries gone.

She suggested: "In that case, let's stop here tonight, I have to hurry up."

"Okk!" Zhou Yichan readily agreed.

The two said goodbye for a while.

The night fell, the traffic flowed like weaving, and the taillights gathered into a sea.

Song Zhi sent the girl away first, then waved, and got into the car to blend into the billowing sea of ​​lights. After much deliberation between returning to Zhou's house and meeting Chen Yan, she finally chose the latter.

Song Zhi first reported the destination to the driver, and immediately sent a message to the boy:

[I changed my mind]

[Let's take the first lesson now, see you downstairs. 】
