Chapter 19: Solo 19 Ru Ru, let go, don’t…
Shen Zhiyan did not keep his promise with Song Yu and applied to the best local university in City B. Instead, he went to S University in City S in the south.
By the time Song Yu learned the news, it was already too late. School was about to start and the matter was already settled.
She called Shen Zhiyan, and the phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Shen Zhiyan's voice was full of fatigue: "Ruru?"
Unfortunately, Song Yu, who was furious, didn't hear it: "Chen Zhiyan, did you choose S University in your college entrance examination application?"
"Yes!" Shen Zhiyan said briefly and did not deny it.
"Why did you apply to S University? Didn't we agree to apply to B University together? You can go to university without leaving home, and looking around the country, which other university can be as good as the one in B City?" Song Yu was almost furious. When she got angry, her voice rose unconsciously, causing Song's father and mother, who were chatting on the sofa, to turn around and look at her.
"Ru Ru, it was my fault for not telling you in advance, but I think I have the right to make my own choice." Shen Zhiyan's voice sounded very calm, as if he was just explaining the truth.
Song Yu held the phone receiver, got up and went upstairs to her room. After closing the door, she calmed down and spoke again: "Chen Zhiyan, what are you thinking about? I find that I don't understand you anymore recently."
Shen Zhiyan laughed meaningfully on the other end of the phone: "Ru Ru, people's hearts are complicated, and it's not suitable for a simple girl like you to figure it out."
"Chen Zhiyan, please stop talking about other things. Can we communicate properly?"
Song Yu was very unhappy with Shen Zhiyan's evasion of the main point. She pursed her lips and patiently spoke again: "What's wrong with you recently? Shen Zhiyan, don't you think there's something wrong with you recently?"
"Really?" Shen Zhiyan said indifferently, "Why didn't I feel that? Maybe it's because I'm an adult. When people grow up, they always think more than when they were young."
Song Yu found that she and Shen Zhiyan couldn't have a good conversation. Shen Zhiyan's attitude was too negative. He didn't want to resolve the conflict with her through communication. She felt choked up and simply gave up. "Shen Zhiyan, if this is your attitude, then there's no need for us to communicate. You can do whatever you want."
If it were any other time, when Song Yu was so angry, Shen Zhiyan would definitely come over to comfort him. In the past, Shen Zhiyan would never let Song Yu get so angry. If there was any sign of anger, he would have nipped it in the bud. He never allowed Song Yu to have these negative emotions.
But this time it was different, Shen Zhiyan said nothing, just "Okay!"
Song Yu was so angry that she didn't even want to say goodbye to him and just hung up the phone. She was so angry that Shen Zhiyan never called her again.
The two of them were competing with each other, neither of them willing to give in, and they didn't contact each other until two days before school started.
It was Song's mother who brought it up again: "Ruru, I heard Zhiyan went to S University? School is almost starting, aren't you going to see him off?"
Song Yu was lying on the sofa playing with his tablet, and said angrily, "He probably doesn't need me to send him off."
Song's mother was an experienced person, and she laughed when she heard this and said, "Are you having a quarrel?"
“No.” Song Yu didn’t say much, she didn’t want to say bad things about Shen Zhiyan in front of her parents.
Song's mother sat down next to Song Yu and advised her, "Ruru, if the situation isn't serious, why don't you go and see Zhiyan off? After all, you've been together for so many years, and our two families are neighbors. If Zhiyan leaves, you won't be able to see him for several months unless there are special circumstances."
"Mom, you don't understand the situation at all, so just don't worry about it." Song Yu turned over and clicked on a video to watch.
"Okay, Mom doesn't care. So do you want to go out today? It's nice to go shopping with friends. Didn't Ah Ci call you a few days ago? Do you want to ask him out for dinner? Xia Xia has a boyfriend recently, right? If she's free, you can ask her out. Don't stay at home all day. How can kids your age not go out and play?"
Song Yu was a little amused, "Mom, are you worried about my social issues?"
Song's mother glanced at her and said, "Shouldn't Mom be worried? You've already planned where to go before the college entrance examination. The whole summer vacation is over, and look where you've been?"
Song Yu acted coquettishly, "Then you won't be happy if I stay at home with you and dad?"
"Of course we're happy that you're willing to stay home with me and your dad, but Ruru, staying home won't solve the problems you're facing. If the problem lies with you, then you need to reflect on whether you've done anything wrong and admit your mistakes bravely. No one can accommodate you forever. If the problem isn't yours, you should also face it proactively. If you really can't solve it, don't force yourself. At least you've tried. Let everything else take its course."
"I understand, Mom." Song Yu lowered his head in shame.
Song's mother picked up a grape from the fruit plate and fed it to her: "It's good that you know." She didn't say anything else. Some things should be mentioned occasionally. Her daughter is already grown up, and she knows what is going on. Preaching too much will easily backfire.
Song Yu had been angry with Chen Zhiyan recently and didn't want to run into him when she went out for a walk in the morning. On the day the two had a conflict, as soon as she hung up the phone, she packed up her things and moved into her grandparents' house. She didn't go back to her home until the end of the vacation and she was about to register for university.
Grandpa and Grandma Song wanted to take her out to play for a few days, but she was unwilling to go. She stayed at home all day watching TV series and videos, which made Grandpa and Grandma Song very worried. They called Mother Song, and Father and Mother Song came to stay that night, which led to Mother Song's advice.
Song Yu finally called Shen Zhiyan, but she didn't expect that Shen Zhiyan's phone was turned off. Song Yu became even angrier and put down the phone without paying any attention. Grandma Song called her downstairs, so she went to listen to Grandma Song singing the quintessence of Chinese culture.
When she came back, there were three missed calls on her phone, all from Shen Zhiyan. She was about to call back when Shen Zhiyan's fourth call came in. Song Yu picked up the phone: "Shen Zhiyan?"
"Ru Ru, did you call me?" Shen Zhiyan was somewhere unknown, and the background noise was very noisy.
"Well, I want to ask when you will leave for S City?" Song Yu's face was serious and his voice was stiff.
There was no talk on the other end for a long time. It was so long that Song Yu thought the call was disconnected. He couldn't help but pick up the phone to take a look, then put it back to his ear: "Chen Zhiyan? What are you doing? Speak!"
Shen Zhiyan probably found a quiet place to talk, “Ru Ru, I’m already in S City.”
"Oh, that's nothing. I wish you a happy study at S University." Song Yu said stiffly.
There was silence for a moment before someone said, "Thank you!"
"Then hang up." Song Yu was annoyed and his tone became even colder.
In her heart, she still hoped that Shen Zhiyan could say something more, even if he didn't apologize to her, at least he could tell her about the food on the plane, the prosperity of S City, the campus of S University, these insignificant little things, instead of the mechanical question-and-answer relationship like now, as if there was nothing to say.
"Ru Ru, you hang up first." Shen Zhiyan still maintained his previous habit and let Song Yu hang up the phone first.
Such a thoughtful gesture did not move Song Yu. She hung up the call with a stern face, threw the phone aside, and fell on the bed.
She tossed and turned in bed, feeling increasingly unhappy. She sat up with a jerk, retrieved her phone, and called Xia Zhi: "Xia Xia, I need a drink. No matter what important life event you and your boyfriend are dealing with right now, you must go out right now and drink with me. Otherwise, our friendship will be overturned. You'll have to deal with it."
"I'll go, I'll go! Even if it rains knives from the sky today, I'll risk my life to accompany you, okay? Auntie, who made you angry?"
"Who else could it be except that bastard Shen Zhiyan?" Song Yu said hatefully.
"No, what's wrong with you two? I really don't understand. You haven't gotten over this quarrel yet? This shouldn't be the case! Summer vacation is such a good time. Brother Yan, who is so mean, actually wanted to waste such precious time quarreling with you? Can he bear it? It's so unlike him."
"Can you please not mention him? I get annoyed just hearing his name now." Song Yu was already angry, and after hearing what Xia Zhi said, he became even angrier. "Don't say anything, let's go out and have a drink."
"Come on, where shall we go for a drink? Do you want to call a few more friends?" Xia Zhi asked from the other side.
"Don't scream. It's so embarrassing. I don't want anyone to see us. It's just the two of us." Song Yu picked up a new lipstick from the dressing table, unscrewed the tube to examine the color, then put it back and changed to a more attractive color. "I heard from Zhang Zeyu that there's a new nightclub called Juesen opened in Xicheng. The owner has a big business. From the first to the twenty-sixth floor, there's a one-stop service for disco, karaoke, foot massage, and guest rooms. There's also a private club for business purposes. Should we go check out the nightclub there?"
"Auntie, please forgive me. I dare not take you to that kind of place. If Brother Yan finds out, he will hate me to death." Xia Zhi shook his head repeatedly over there, "Baby, it would be nice if we could just find a quiet bar to sit in. There aren't so many people in quiet bars. I know several good ones..."
Song Yu interrupted her directly and refused: "No! I just want to go to a nightclub. I have never been to that kind of place since I was a child. I want to go and have a look. Now that I think about it, it's good that Shen Zhiyan is not around. At least no one cares whether I go to the nightclub or not. Xia Xia, don't you think so?"
"Baozi, are you serious?" Xia Zhi carefully confirmed on the other end of the phone.
"More real than pearls."
"Isn't it to anger Chen Zhiyan?" Xia Zhi asked again, worried.
"I'm an adult now, so it's not excessive for me to go to a place like this, right? Why must it be to piss off Chen Zhiyan? I can't avoid him, right?" Song Yu was angry, and she was even more angry with herself.
"Don't be angry, baby. I'll pick you up at your door in thirty minutes." Xia Zhi finally said cheerfully, "Get ready and wait for me downstairs. I'll take you to open your eyes today."
"I'm at my grandparents' house." Song Yu added.
"I understand. See you in fifty minutes." Xia Zhi took the car keys and went out.
"okk!"
After hanging up the phone, Song Yu put on some makeup, used the man-attracting lipstick she had just picked, changed into clothes in the cloakroom, and picked out some jewelry to wear. Only when Xia Zhi called again did she take her bag and go downstairs.
"Grandpa, grandma, mom, I'm going out." Song Yu greeted the elders.
Grandpa Song and Grandma Song were even happier than Song Yu. Their previous worries were swept away, and they almost fired a salute to say farewell, "Go, go! Have fun and have fun."
Song's mother also said: "Be careful and come back soon."
"I know! Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma! Goodbye, Mom!" Song Yu waved back as he walked.
Xia Zhi's car didn't drive in, but stopped at the gate of the Song residence. She was sitting in the car, and when she saw Song Yu coming out of the small door, she smiled and said, "Hey, Ru Ru, you look great in this outfit! How is it that everything you and Brother Yan do is so perfect? I'm so envious and jealous."
Song Yu opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, rolling his eyes at her. "You've never eaten pork, but you've never seen a pig run. This is probably the extent of nightclub makeup, right?"
"That's right, you look pretty good with this nightclub makeup." Xia Zhi said, and she started excitedly, "Finally, my guy didn't bother me today. Come on, come on, sister will take you to have some fun."
"What's fun to do?" Song Yu leaned against the car window and asked her with his head tilted.
"You'll know when you go there." Xia Zhi said mysteriously.

Song Yu didn't expect that when Xia Zhi said he would take her to have fun, he actually meant taking her to play with male models.
They were all handsome guys over 180cm tall, standing in a row in front of her like a concubine, with a bright smile on their faces, ready for her to choose.
Song Yu had never seen such a scene before. Her face turned red. Under the scorching gazes of a row of male models, she felt very uncomfortable and wanted to run away.
"Xia Xia!" Song Yu called Xia Zhi softly, but Xia Zhi was having so much fun that she didn't even hear Song Yu calling her.
Song Yu had no choice but to pull Xia Zhi's sleeve again, and leaned close to her ear and gritted his teeth, "What are you doing? I asked you to bring me here for a drink, not to bring me here to look at male models." Being looked at by a group of men like this was uncomfortable, even if each of them was pleasing to the eye. What's more, when it comes to handsome guys, Shen Zhiyan and Zhou Ci are much more handsome than them. Even Hong Minbo and Zhang Zeyu are better looking than them.
"Are male models unattractive? Or are they not fun?" Xia Zhi skillfully pointed to a muscular man with eight-pack abs and directly touched his mermaid line. Under Song Yu's almost dull gaze, he let out a satisfied "wow" and said, "So hard!"
She excitedly asked the male model to sit down next to her, and then pushed Song Yu and said to the other male models, "This is my bestie. It's her first time in a place like this. Please be careful when serving her. Don't be too casual, or you'll scare her."
After Xia Zhi finished speaking, he pointed at the most handsome young man among them and said to him, "Come here and sit next to my best friend."
The handsome young male model responded happily and took three or two steps to sit next to Song Yu. Song Yu was startled. She was really not used to being so close to a man. She couldn't help but move her butt towards Xia Zhi, and then moved it again. Finally, she was a safe distance away from the handsome young male model, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Zhi leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Ru Ru, relax a little. Don't be so nervous. These male models are just accompanying us for drinks. They won't touch us without our consent. They have professional ethics."
Song Yu gritted his teeth and replied: "Xia Zhizhi, I misjudged you."
Xia Zhi was amused. "Look at you, you're such a loser. Ru Ru, let me make this clear! You mustn't tell anyone about us going out to play with male models today. Even if you and Brother Yan make up in the future, you are not allowed to tell Brother Yan that I brought you here. I'm afraid he'll be so angry that he'll want to skin me alive. I won't tell anyone either, lest my husband find out and make a fuss with me."
"Do you think I'm like you? I'm too embarrassed to tell others such a shameful thing." Song Yu glared at her angrily.
Xia Zhi smiled at her, "Now you know how good your sister is to you? You risked your life to be with your bestie!"
"Come on, you look so experienced. I don't know how many times you have come here to play secretly without Chen Chi's knowledge." Song Yu didn't believe her at all.
Xia Zhi laughed, "Ru Ru, not all white, rich and beautiful women are like you, being completely eaten by Chen Zhiyan. When you meet Chen Zhiyan, you are like a fish in a quagmire, unable to make any progress."
"Can you please not mention him?" Song Yu was furious again when he heard Shen Zhiyan's name.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Let's drink." Xia Zhi raised his glass and called to the male model next to Song Yu: "Brother, don't just stand there, pour some wine for my girlfriend." He also directed the group of male models who were not selected: "Brothers, don't stand there, find a place to sit, drink and sing to have some fun." In her spare time, she did not forget to poke the hard abdominal muscles of the macho man next to her. She was as busy as a butterfly.
Maybe because of the wine, Song Yu also relaxed a little. She and Xia Zhi leaned their heads against each other and complained, "Xia Xia, you don't know, Chen Zhiyan is really too much. We originally agreed to travel around the world after the college entrance examination. I have already chosen the places to go, but he disappeared for the entire summer without any explanation. I didn't even bother with him. Am I generous?"
Xia Zhi nodded: "That's really generous."
"He even changed his college entrance examination choice. We had already agreed to choose University B together. Isn't it too much for me to ask him for an explanation? But he still said nothing and said that he has the right to choose. Shouldn't I be angry?" Song Yu became more and more angry as he spoke.
Xia Zhi nodded heavily and said affirmatively, "That's exactly what I should do."
"I was angry and ignored him, but he ignored me too. He didn't even tell me he was going to City B. It was only when I called him that I found out he was at University B. What does he think of me?"
Xia Zhi turned to look at her: "Honestly, I'm also confused about your conflict this time. I don't know what it is and why your relationship has suddenly become strained for so long? Ru Ru, think about it carefully. Did you offend Brother Yan in some way? He is a man with deep thoughts and it's hard for others to guess."
Song Yu said angrily, "Do you think I haven't figured it out? I really can't figure it out. On the last day of the college entrance examination, we all agreed to have dinner together in the evening. After the exam, he left without waiting for me and then disappeared. I couldn't contact him, and the phone call was unavailable. It wasn't until we went to the prairie that he rushed over a few days later. I also found him inexplicable."
Xia Zhi thought about it in her head before saying, "I haven't heard anything has happened to their family recently. What happened to Brother Yan?" She touched her temples and shook her head. "It's such a headache, Ruru. This is the end of dating a man with a high IQ. You can never guess what he's thinking. Ruru, you're already good enough, but when it comes to scheming, Brother Yan has at least eight hundred more tricks up his sleeve than you."
Song Yu took another sip of wine from the bottle, leaned on Xia Zhi's shoulder, and swore angrily: "Xia Xia, Chen Zhiyan treated me like this, I will never take the initiative to contact him again. I have taken the initiative several times, but he didn't take it to heart. Do I have no face? I don't want to let myself be so cheap."
"Don't say those angry words." Xia Zhi advised her, "Ru Ru, the relationship between you and Brother Yan for so many years has not been easy. Although you haven't exposed that relationship, it doesn't matter whether you do or not. After all these years, who can't see that Brother Yan likes you? Only you, the person involved, foolishly realized it at the last moment."
"You're right. I also think that our relationship over the years is rare, so I keep giving him chances, but Shen Zhiyan doesn't want it. Xia Xia, do you think Shen Zhiyan has changed his mind?"
"Brother Yan? A change of heart?" Xia Zhi said as if he had heard a funny joke. "Brother Yan is a man of firm character. He is very stubborn and it is difficult for him to change his mind once he makes a decision. He will not change his mind easily when he has decided on someone. I believe you if Chen Chi will change his mind in the future, but I find it unbelievable when I think about you saying that Brother Yan changed his mind about you."
Song Yu also thought it was impossible, but she was also confused: "Then why did Shen Zhiyan become like this? I really can't figure it out no matter how hard I think."
Xia Zhi opened a bottle of wine and handed it to Song Yu: "Baby, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Let's drink. We will fight against the enemy. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Sisters will accompany you tonight until you are drunk."
Song Yu became more and more excited as he drank, and clinked his glass with hers in a heroic manner, "At times like this, we still have to rely on our good sisters. Cheers!"
That night, they were really drunk and dreaming.
As luck would have it, they were so drunk that they couldn't even walk, and were finally hugged and supported by several male models and put into the car.
It just so happened that this scene was seen by a curious person, who then filmed it and posted it on WeChat Moments, which quickly caused a sensation in the wealthy circle of City B.
This busybody's name is Zhou Nian.
