Don't be bad, I'm a love brain

Chapter 97 97. Missed again and again
"An iced Americano, thank you."

"OK, wait."

Holding it in his hand, Chen Zhi sipped lightly, the tip of his tongue curled up with bitterness, and the aftertaste of caramel passed through his throat, with a long-lasting astringency on his lips and teeth.

Shen Zhi didn't like the bitter taste before, but he likes it very much in recent years.

Shen Zhi was sitting on the bus, looking through the window to see the things around him flash by quickly.

Revisiting the old place, only strangers are left.

Row upon row of buildings, bustling and noisy pedestrian streets, all kinds of people walking back and forth, time seemed to freeze her, imprisoning her alone and being out of place.

The melody is still playing slowly in the earphones, and the volume is turned up to the maximum, shielding the sound from the outside world.

The dilapidated rental house she lived in at the beginning has been replaced by a brand new scenery.

Can't find any trace at all.

Did she remember wrongly?

She had this idea.

Shen Zhi searched for a while, and saw a sycamore tree with a huge trunk, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and sprinkled finely on the ground.

She looked a little dazed.

It's been almost eight years, Nancheng has changed a lot.

Shen Zhi walked slowly, walking through the pedestrian street in the alley.

Shen Zhi walked into an alley where all the snacks and gadgets were sold.

Her footsteps followed her eyes and landed in an unremarkable shop.

She Dingqing looked at the boss who came out with wontons and put them on the customer's table outside, and was stunned.

Shen Zhi took off an earphone and went into the store.

"bowl--"

"A bowl of wontons, heavy and spicy."

A deep and cold voice came from the ear, hitting the eardrum through the ripples of the years.

Shen Zhi's back froze, his calm black pupils were slightly turbulent.

How could he be here.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the man behind her didn't notice her, and walked towards the table with long legs.

Shen Zhi bit her lip, raised her eyes quietly, and a tall and straight figure came into view.

The boss's kind voice asked along with the steam rising from the pot in front of him, "Girl, what do you want?"

Shen Zhi's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, covering his dark eyes, turned his back to that end, and pointed to one of them on the menu.

"Do you want it spicy?"

Shen Zhi nodded, lowered his hat, and pulled up his mask.

Fortunately, I'm glad she wrapped herself up tightly when she went out.

Shen Zhi chose to sit at the farthest side of the corner, with a little distance from the man.

From her point of view, she could see clearly that the person looked down at the phone with his head slightly down, with a cold white profile, slightly drooping broken hair, wearing a dark gray coat, dignified and refined.

It overlaps with the reckless young man in memory.

Shen Zhi looked at him almost greedily, the mist condensed and wet his cheeks.

The other party raised his head belatedly, and came towards Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi was so frightened that he moved closer subconsciously, avoiding that gaze in a panic.

Liang Chubai frowned slightly, and swept around the corner.

The boss chatted with him for a few words at this time, and didn't pay attention to other things.

His voice is still so nice.

The corners of Shen Zhi's lips curled up slightly, with bitterness and nostalgia, he suppressed the misty eye sockets back.

After the man finished eating and left, Shen Zhi got up slowly.

Before leaving, she asked, "Does that person come here often?"

"what?"

The boss didn't understand at first, and looked up to notice her looking out.

He understood.

"He doesn't live here often, and he only comes here to try something new when he occasionally does business here."

"He has a pretty girlfriend, but she's not around."

He thought she had taken a fancy to that person, so he specially reminded her.

Shen Zhi didn't ask any more questions, and scanned the shop.

"Is Auntie not here?"

The boss wiped the table slightly, and squinted slightly to look at the woman in front of him wearing a pile of hats and covering her face with only one pair of eyes exposed.

"My old lady left the year before last. It seems that you are still our regular customer. You haven't been back for a long time."

Shen Zhi opened his lips and apologized again and again, "No offense intended."

The boss waved his hand indifferently, "It's all right, life, old age, sickness and death, it's human nature."

I walked to a high school without knowing it, and looked inside through the brand new floating door.

It was the time when the lunch break was about to end, and there were quite a lot of students going in and out of the school.

The vague memory gradually became clear.

She turned around as if fleeing and accidentally bumped into a woman who was passing by.

"Why are you—"

The woman's face was fair and delicate, she was holding two books, her hair was casually held in shark clips, she was wearing an apricot sweater and white wide-leg pants, and she looked impatient at this moment.

"Su Ruan."

Hearing her name called out by the other party, she raised her head, only to see her pair of quiet, clear and slightly surprised fox eyes that were only exposed.

She glanced at it a few times, feeling a little uncertain, and tentatively called out, "Shen Zhi?"

Shen Zhi nodded and smiled lightly, "Long time no see."

There was a heavy rain yesterday, and the ground is still a little wet.

In the milk tea shop opposite the school, Su Ruan looked at the beautifully made-up face in front of her, with beautiful and soft brows and eyes, fair and thin skin, curly hair hanging on her shoulders, light gray sweater and blue jeans, with an elegant temperament.

Shen Zhi spoke first, "Are you a teacher in No. [-] Middle School now?"

Su Ruan looked at the textbook beside the table, nodded, "Yes."

"It's easy to be close to home. After staying in a familiar environment for a long time, I don't want to go to other places."

After finishing speaking, she asked, "What about you? Where have you been all these years?"

Shen Zhi took a sip of milk tea, pursed his lips lightly, "I've lived the life I wanted to live."

Su Ruan frowned, "Then it doesn't mean that we don't contact anyone. Thanks to our good friendship, I lost a bridesmaid in my wedding."

Her tone was a little complaining.

Shen Zhi was startled, "With...Xiao Hao?"

Mentioning him, Su Ruan nodded, blissful and shy on his face, "He proposed to me as soon as he graduated."

"pretty good."

She smiled, "I'm sorry, I couldn't attend your wedding, I hope it's still too late to bless you."

Shen Zhi avoids talking about her own affairs.

Seeing this, Su Ruan sighed silently.

She hesitated and said, "Have you contacted him?"

Shen Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he gently rubbed the cup of milk tea, "Who is it?"

"Liang Chubo, if you don't see him, he went crazy looking for you."

"Really? I almost forgot about this person."

Seeing Shen Zhi's calm attitude, she was stunned.

It seemed that she hadn't expected her to react like this.

Shen Zhi explained, "This time I'm on a business trip with my husband and stopped by to have a look."

Su Ruan's voice widened slightly in shock, her eyes were shocked, "Are you married?"

She shifted her gaze slightly to Shen Zhi's slightly raised hand, and finally noticed the ring on her ring finger.

She murmured, "That's it."

Her brain digested the information.

"Shall I ask Xiao Hao to have a meal together tonight?"

Shen Zhi shook his head, "No, tonight's car."

Before leaving, Su Ruan added her on WeChat and called her to stop.

"You have to tell me, where are you living now?"

Shen Zhi tilted his head and said in a low voice, "I was in Yuzhou before."

Then it won't be there anymore?
Su Ruan caught those two words and thought carefully, looking at Shen Zhi's thin back.

There was a touch of alienation in her speech, like an unpredictable fog that would drift away at any time.

Su Ruan had this idea inexplicably, and she shook her head.

He lowered his head and stared at the person on the WeChat list, but did not reveal the news of Shen Zhi's appearance after all.

Now that we have our own lives, it is better not to see each other.

Before leaving, Shen Zhi went to a famous temple in Nancheng.

The tall golden Buddha statue, Shen Zhi folded his hands together and murmured softly, "Thank you for allowing me to meet him."

The towering trees blown by the wind are rustling, and the red ribbons tied with them are swaying and winding, and the red ribbons belonging to her are hanging in countless red ribbons.

Not long after she left, a dignified man stood where she had been.

A black low-key luxury car slowly descended the hill, passing by a woman who lowered her head and tied loose shoelaces.

Shen Zhi stomped his feet, looked sideways and photographed the scenery along the way.

The huge flat road and the pedestrian railing constitute two different roads.
