Chapter 178: He had a serious car accident on the way to find you

The atmosphere in the private room was relaxed, with constant laughter.

You could hear them talking even at the door.

Zhang Zixin: "Everyone! Look who I ran into?"

The moment the door opened, there were a dozen or twenty people sitting inside.

All eyes looked toward the door.

When Shen Li appeared.

The voices stopped abruptly.

It fell into a weird silence.

The few who reacted quickly had their eyes darting between Xie Qin and Shen Li at the same time.

There was surprise and sighing in those eyes.

And those watching the show.

Shen Li saw at a glance the person sitting in the middle wearing a black jacket.

The gaze that fell on him forgot to move away for a while.

She looked at him.

He was also looking at her.

Only the emotion in those eyes was cold and strange.

Over these years, he had changed.

No longer looking like a teenager, his contours became deeper, sharp and noble, with an uncontrollable aura, his dark eyes fixed on her.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, as if a century had passed.

Xie Qin withdrew his gaze, his fingertips holding half a cigarette, lowered his eyes, extinguished it in the ashtray, and said to Zhang Zixin, "Not going to introduce her?" His tone was idle, revealing a thin coldness.

Zhou Mingyu on the side reacted quickly, his voice a decibel louder: "Shen Li! The school beauty of Chengde University back then, in our class."

There should have been more to say, but no one dared to mention it.

They could only say they were in the same class before.

"Shen Li?" Xie Qin seemed to be thinking of a stranger he couldn't quite remember and was irrelevant. Finally, he probably couldn't remember at all, so he raised his lazy eyes and slowly spat out a sentence: "A bit familiar. Since we're old classmates, come over and sit?"

As Shen Li's eyes flowed, she saw an extremely beautiful woman sitting beside him, with long wavy hair and a lot of temperament, like a movie star, and her dress was also very exquisite.

Xu Zhouyuan noticed the sinking atmosphere and quickly livened it up: "What are you dazed for, hurry up and call the waiter to add a seat."

Her appearance was too abrupt, breaking the original harmony.

Staying here... should also make them uncomfortable.

Even if you liked someone very much before, it had been so long since you separated.

Who would still like them?

Six years had passed.

There had been no contact at all over these six years.

They should have forgotten long ago.

That last phone call was sentenced to death by herself.

Now seeing with her own eyes that he had a new life and a new girlfriend, and was doing very well.

She actually shouldn't come to disturb his life again.

Shen Li lowered her eyes, having an urge to escape and not dare to face him.

After a moment of silence.

Her voice said faintly: "I'm not finished over there, so I won't disturb you guys."

"You guys... have fun."

After Shen Li finished the last sentence, she turned and left the private room.

Zhou Mingyu stood up, wanting to keep her, "Hey, don't go."

Zhang Zixin: "Shen Li..."

…

After Shen Li came out of that private room and returned to the other one that hadn't ended, her mood was not calm, and she had no desire to stay any longer, so she picked up her bag and left with an excuse.

It wasn't far from the apartment she was going back to, so she walked all the way back.

On the dark street, Shen Li was walking on the sidewalk paved with floor tiles, daydreaming, the breeze blowing her hair, and she couldn't tell what it felt like in her heart.

She just kept thinking about the cold look in Xie Qin's eyes when he looked at her after six years, including the things he said.

He really didn't remember her.

But it seemed so, he already had a new relationship long ago.

She had said such excessive things to him back then.

It was only right that he didn't remember her.

After all...

No one would take it for granted to wait for someone forever.

Everything she thought was right.

It was also an expected thing.

But why...

Did she seem a little sad?

Clearly, the one who proposed the breakup first.

Was herself, wasn't it?

In the future...

Better not disturb him again.

After Shen Li returned to the apartment, she suppressed the extra emotions, went to boil water, and took her medicine.

After taking a shower, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The sky outside the window brightened, the fog dissipated, and the sunlight passed through the branches and leaves, casting mottled light spots on the floor.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

After Shen Li got up and washed, she made herself a cup of coffee to refresh herself.

This bed was too soft, making her waist ache.

The phone on the bedside table lit up.

Shen Li walked up to pick up the phone, took a sip of warm coffee, and saw a message from Zhang Zixin: 【Pick a place, let's talk?】

After hesitating for a while, she looked at today's schedule.

Half a minute later.

Shen Li sent her a location address, 【Eleven o'clock at noon, I have time.】

After waiting for a while, the other party didn't send another message.

She drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, packed her things, and still had to go to a public class.

Today is Thursday, and the whole day is usually arranged for Ma Si.

Shen Li sat alone in the back row, her temperament cold, reading English literature, occasionally taking notes.

After the class ended, she remembered the time she had agreed with Zhang Zixin.

They met at a coffee shop near Jiangchuan University.

When Shen Li arrived, Zhang Zixin was already sitting by the window, wearing a camel coat, her long hair draped casually, more mature than before.

Such a scene also pulled Shen Li back to the past, in the shopping mall near Chengde University, they sat face to face, eating, and then talking about some gossip, the atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable.

Zhang Zixin raised her head and asked her, her tone as natural as if they had never been separated: "What do you want to eat?"

Shen Li: "I'll just have a glass of juice."

"Have you eaten?"

"No."

Zhang Zixin was surprised and asked her: "Is juice enough for your lunch?"

Shen Li was silent, quiet for two seconds, and said faintly: "I'm not very hungry."

Zhang Zixin nodded and didn't say anything more. After ordering, she picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip: "Did you propose the breakup to Xie Qin?"

She asked very bluntly.

But it also fit her personality.

She was never someone who beat around the bush.

She always said what she had to say.

Shen Li: "Mm."

Zhang Zixin: "The reason? Because you were going abroad?"

Shen Li was silent for a moment, as if brewing something, and finally nodded slowly: "Yes."

There was indeed a part of the reason in it.

Zhang Zixin looked at her, suddenly curled her red lips and laughed, crossed her hands on her chest and leaned back: "Why didn't I notice before that you were so heartless!"

"Going abroad to study, it shouldn't have been to the point of not replying to a single message, not contacting a single phone call!"

"Just disappeared like that, for six years!"

Thinking of Xie Qin who didn't know how he got through these years.

She actually felt quite uncomfortable in her heart.

Shen Li held the cup in her hand, lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling lightly.

"I also heard from Xu Zhouyuan that it should be... the day you proposed the breakup to Xie Qin, he had a serious car accident on the way to find you." ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
