Chapter 58
The next day, afternoon.
Jiang Chi Nan had already made an appointment with Shen Yizhi to have dinner at the restaurant today.
But this dinner date was a little different from every other one.
A silent awkwardness spread in the atmosphere.
Shen Yizhi lowered his head and fiddled with the knife and fork, watching Jiang Chinan first pick up the knife and fork by mistake, then mistakenly took the garlic cloves for mashed potatoes, and took a big gulp of spicy food.
She sighed and handed him a piece of paper. Jiang Chinan took it and said apologetically while covering his mouth: "Sorry, I didn't see clearly that it was a garlic."
Shen Yizhi asked, “What are you thinking about while eating?”
When this was mentioned, Jiang Chi Nan's eyes were filled with grievance again. He hung his head and said in a muffled voice, "If I had known it would be so embarrassing, I wouldn't... confess."
His voice got lower and lower in the second half.
Unable to bear the silence in the restaurant, Shen Yizhi still heard it clearly. She put down her knife and fork and looked serious.
"Didn't we agree that we wouldn't be awkward when we meet again and we could just continue to be friends? Dinner with friends isn't awkward."
Jiang Chi Nan slowly raised his eyes, tears still hidden in his watery eyes, "Really?"
Shen Yizhi nodded, "Of course."
Jiang Chi Nan pressed on, "Is it possible that you will be attracted to me in the future?"
"Jiang Chinan." Shen Yizhi looked at him calmly.
Jiang Chi Nan blinked, and the water stains on his eyelashes made him look even more shabby, and he looked as pitiful as an unwanted puppy.
"knew."
"I still need time to digest it. Please give me some time." He lowered his head and spoke slowly.
Shen Yizhi said: "If you need comfort, you can come to me."
"The kind that makes you fall in love?" Jiang Chi Nan raised his eyes and looked at her with his sparkling eyes blinking.
Shen Yizhi: “…”
"Jiang Chi Nan, if you continue like this I'm going to hit you." She said expressionlessly.
"Okay." Jiang Chi Nan was stunned for a moment. He took a deep breath and cheered up again: "The flower room is decorated for you, and its door will always be open for you."
Shen Yizhi lowered her eyes, avoiding his direct gaze, "Okay."
"Oh, yes, stay away from Pei Yanhe," Jiang Chinan covered his heart, "I'm afraid it will hurt if I see you two together."
“…”
Shen Yizhi almost gritted his teeth, "Jiang, Chi, Nan."
"Okay, let's eat." Jiang Chi Nan was really obedient this time.
"Chen Yizhi, why are you eating alone with him?" Chen Jinyang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, walked forward, and his eyes wandered between the two of them.
"Are you really together with this guy?"
The tears in Jiang Chi Nan's eyes had dried up, and he became as serious as usual. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and looked across.
"You didn't tell them?"
Shen Yizhi fed a mouthful of broccoli into his mouth, and after swallowing it, he said slowly, “It’s not too late.”
The main thing is that she doesn't know either, and everyone will know about this.
Chen Jinyang was confused by their words, "What are you two talking about?"
Jiang Chi Nan said calmly: "We are not together."
In short, his confession was rejected.
But he didn't say the second half of the sentence. He didn't want to say this cruel fact in person, which would be like rubbing salt into his wounds again.
Chen Jinyang realized it belatedly, as if it had suddenly dawned on him, "So that's how it is."
"Then Pei Yanhe came to see you last night. What did you two quarrel about?" He looked at Shen Yizhi.
Shen Yizhi paused obviously, what else could it be?
She lied to Pei Yanhe and almost drove him crazy.
Jiang Chi Nan was shocked, "Were we having a fight?! Then I——"
Chen Jinyang slapped him on the back of the head, "No way, stop making trouble."
Jiang Chinan: "..."
Shen Yizhi raised his eyes, looked at Chen Jinyang, and asked curiously: "How do you know we had a fight?"
Chen Jinyang pondered for a moment and deliberately exaggerated his description. "That's because he drank all night last night and got himself drunk. He kept yelling, 'I'm sorry, Zhizhi. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have quarreled with Zhizhi,' and was about to jump into the river."
He spoke with deep emotion, "If Shang Kuoheng and I hadn't stopped him in the end, he would have been a floating corpse long ago."
“…”
Shen Yizhi said expressionlessly: "Erhuo, you are fooling a fool."
Not to mention that Pei Yanhe, a very restrained and self-disciplined person, would get himself drunk. Just the words he said did not sound like something that would come from the mouth of that young master.
Seeing that he was exposed, Chen Jinyang shook his hands and said, "Oh, anyway, you two should find some time to have a good chat."
He suddenly remembered something and continued, "It looks like rain is in the forecast today, so please pay attention."
After saying that, he left.
After the people walked away, Shen Yizhi looked a little dazed, and subconsciously opened his phone to check the weather.
Fifty percent rainfall.
Seeing her frown, Jiang Chi Nan asked, "What's wrong with the rain?"
Shen Yizhi tilted his head, looked at the sky which was already filled with dark clouds, and said absentmindedly, "It's okay."
It's just that someone is locking themselves in the room again.
I hope that God will be on his side with this 50% luck.
After dinner, Shen Yizhi stood in front of the restaurant, looking up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds and getting darker.
Jiang Chi Nan stood beside her and said, "Before it rains, I'll take you back to your room."
Shen Yizhi smiled at him and said, "It's okay, I can go back by myself."
Before Jiang Chi Nan could say anything else, Shen Yizhi had already walked away in the direction of Shanshu Pavilion. She smiled but it seemed forced, her brows were furrowed, and she looked like she was worried about something.
Who is afraid of rainy days?
-
After Shen Yizhi returned to Shanshu Pavilion, she was obviously feeling uneasy and uncomfortable in the room. She opened all the covered windows in the room.
The purpose is to be able to observe whether it is raining or not at the first time.
Time passed minute by minute. She sometimes paced back and forth in the room, and sometimes stood in front of the window motionless for dozens of minutes.
Until a "click" sound was heard outside, followed by the sound of countless stones hitting the ground.
Shen Yizhi quickly leaned over to the window, and his heart seemed to be twisted hard.
It's still raining.
She picked up her phone to send a message, but was afraid that he wouldn't read it, so she just called him.
The only response she got was a cold, mechanical voice.
When will this annoying problem of shutting down the computer whenever something happens be fixed?
Shen Yizhi turned off his phone, stood there thinking for a second, as if he had made up his mind, picked up the umbrella at the entrance, and walked into the rain without hesitation.
The raindrops hit the umbrella and rolled into the mud, splashing small water droplets that wet her shoes.
She usually loves cleanliness, but now she has no time to care.
When I arrived at Pei Yanhe's door, the curtains on both sides were closed tightly, and there was no trace of light. It seemed as if it wanted to blend into the darkness and disappear from sight.
Shen Yizhi knocked on his door decisively.
Two crisp sounds seemed to break through the rain curtain.
No reaction, not even a little bit of reaction.
The damp air from the rainy day climbed up, causing Chen Yizhi's wrist to swell and ache slightly, making it a little difficult for him to hold the umbrella.
She was about to knock on the door again.
The door suddenly opened a crack, and it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Before Shen Yizhi could see clearly, her forearm was strangled, and a cold, broad palm wrapped around her.
Before she could react, she was dragged into the room.
