Zhou Ci: "You are right, I took it for granted..."
When she said this, she was still unconsciously distancing herself from him.
The change of pajamas last night had a huge psychological impact on her.
Song Bowan felt her dodge and sneered, "You think I'm dirty?"
Zhou Ci: "..."
Song Bowang: "When you and Zhang got together, didn't you feel dirty? You have the right to dislike me."
"I told you that nothing happened between me and him. You all know that I haven't had any boyfriends in these years, only you."
Zhou Ci felt a little tired. In fact, she had explained these words many times, but Song Bowan always didn't believe it. And she couldn't prove her innocence in this kind of thing.
"...Forget it, I want to calm down, I'm leaving first." Zhou Ci wanted to open the door, but Song Bo blocked the door and refused to let her go.
Zhou Ci: "Let me go. Yangzhi and Jiujiu will come up later and see. It's hard to explain."
Perhaps because his weakness was mentioned, Song Bowan finally moved his body this time. Zhou Ci opened the door and hurried downstairs.
When Zhou Ci went downstairs, Chang Jiu had just finished eating and Song Yangzhi was following her.
When Song Yangzhi saw Zhou Ci, he rushed towards her and hugged her, "Aunt Zhou, go and eat! I've left some delicious food for you."
Hearing her son's voice, Zhou Ci felt her eyes heat up. She touched Song Yangzhi's face and forced a smile, "Auntie doesn't want to eat. She has something to do."
Song Yangzhi was a little disappointed, "Ah, then you won't sleep with me?"
Zhou Ci: "Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it these days."
Song Yangzhi: "Then when will you finish your work?"
Zhou Ci: "...I can't tell, I will do it as soon as possible."
Song Yangzhi nodded and pursed his lips. Although he was reluctant, he still played the role of a sensible and good boy and did not pester Zhou Ci.
But Chang Jiu heard something else from Zhou Ci's words.
After Zhou Ci and Song Yangzhi finished talking, they came to Chang Jiu and Shen Chi. She squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm leaving first."
Chang Jiu lowered his voice and asked her, "Did my brother make things difficult for you?"
"No, we just talked about it. I wanted to think about it for a few days, and he agreed." Although Song Bowan did not respond clearly, Zhou Ci had unilaterally regarded his behavior as acquiescence.
This kind of thing really needs serious consideration. After thinking about it for a while, Chang said, "Then I'll give it to you."
"No, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold." Zhou Ci refused to let Chang Jiu go and see him off.
But Zhou Ci doesn't have a car, and she came with Song Bowan today. It's already a bit late now, and her residence is on the outskirts of the city...
"I'm going back too, I'll see you off." While Chang Jiu was thinking, Shen Chi spoke.
He was like a roundworm in her stomach, and he solved her worries with just one sentence.
Chang Jiu glanced at him subconsciously, and Shen Chi smiled at her, "Leave it to me, don't worry."
Chang Jiu: "Thank you."
Then, she went to Zhou Ci and said, "Then let him take you back. When you arrive, send me a WeChat message. If anything happens in the next few days, feel free to contact me."
Zhou Ci nodded, "Okay."
Finally, Shen Chi and Zhou Ci walked out of the Song family's old house together.
After coming out, Zhou Ci said to Shen Chi, "I won't bother you anymore. I live a bit far away. It's more convenient to call a taxi."
Shen Chi: "Come up, we'll have a chat on the way."
Zhou Ci frowned, Shen Chi wanted to talk to her?
Is there anything good to talk about between the two of them?
Despite his doubts, Zhou Ci was eventually invited into the car by Shen Chi.
She sat in the passenger seat, and after the car started, Zhou Ci asked him, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Shen Chi: "What exactly happened between you and Song Bowan?"
Shen Chi asked very directly and successfully used one question to make Zhou Ci break through her defense.
His body immediately stiffened and he didn't make a sound for a while.
Shen Chi followed and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. I just wanted to solve the problem for Jiujiu. As you can see, she is very worried about you."
When talking about this matter, Zhou Ci blamed herself a little more, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have told her this."
Shen Chi smiled and said, "It's not your fault. Even if you didn't tell her, she would still worry about your affairs."
Zhou Ci: "..."
Shen Chi: "So, I want to find out what is irreparable between you and Song Bowan."
Zhou Ci lowered her head and was silent for a long time. Shen Chi could see that she was having a psychological struggle, so he stopped urging her.
A few minutes later, while waiting at a red light, Zhou Ci finally spoke, "What I did to him may be even more excessive than what you did to Jiujiu."
Shen Chi: "..." This was somewhat beyond his expectation.
He originally thought that Zhou Ci and Song Bowan were just in a normal relationship, and then got into conflicts or separated due to some misunderstanding, and that was it.
Zhou Ci saw Shen Chi's surprised expression and laughed to himself, "I can't believe it, right?"
Shen Chi: "Is there any conflict between your family and the Song family?"
Zhou Ci shook his head, "It's not our family. I was adopted by the Song family. He and I were brothers and sisters in name only."
Shen Chi was even more surprised. When he went to check on the Song family, he didn't know about this incident.
But soon, Zhou Ci's next words answered his doubts: "But later, the Song family erased all my information, so there are not many people who know about it, and you are one of them."
Shen Chi: "Then how did you get to where you are today?"
Talking about the events of that year, Zhou Ci's thoughts wandered far away, and her voice seemed to come from another world. She lowered her head and mechanically recounted the events between herself and the Song family, Zhang family and Song Boban. The past was told to Shen Chi one by one.
Over the years, it has been difficult for her to take the initiative to explain this matter clearly to others. She told Chang Jiu once that year, and Shen Chi was the second person to listen to her "confidence".
Perhaps it was because of what happened last night that her recently suppressed emotions reached the critical point, so she revealed all the past that she had never wanted to mention to someone she was not even familiar with.
It is also possible that the two of them have the same experience.
It took nearly a quarter of an hour to finally explain these things clearly. Zhou Ci once again let out a mocking smile, "Actually, I deserve it for what I have come to this day. He did this to me because I asked for it."
Shen Su turned the steering wheel and squinted his eyes at the night road ahead, "Have you explained it to him? Strictly speaking, you are also a victim of this matter."
Zhou Ci: "Even so, it can't change the fact that his mother died because of me."
"You may not know that he wasn't like this before." Recalling the past, Zhou Ci talked a lot more than usual. She wiped her tears, "He used to talk less, didn't like to talk to others, and was a bit short-tempered. , but he is very soft-hearted and will take back any stray cats or dogs he encounters on the roadside. When he was in high school, he also funded several stray animal rescue centers."
