This time it was Shen Che's turn to be silent.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Tomorrow is the deadline, if Smith is still hesitant to sign, we will choose another agent." It's a two-way street, not only does he choose us, we can choose others. ”

His voice was calm and firm, with a seriousness that Xu Zhiyi had never heard before.

After a pause, he added, "Zhizhi, this project is very important to me. I'll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest. ”

“…… Good. ”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhiyi felt a little emotional.

Today's Shen Che is no longer the one who was able to accompany her unscrupulously in Tongcheng.

As he grows, his responsibilities are getting heavier, and the time he can spend on her is getting less and less.

She didn't blame him, she just missed it a little.

I miss the windy boy who once took her for a ride in Tongcheng on a motorcycle, the boy who saved her from fire and water again and again, and the boy who was as warm as the sun.

However, one cannot live in nostalgia.

They have a bright future ahead of them.

Xu Zhiyi looked up at the sun outside the window, sorted out his mood, and returned to Lin Youxi's side.

……

After returning to school, Xu Zhiyi received a lot of gifts one after another.

There were a few roommates and Lin Youxi, Liang Yuan and Zhou Shikun, and Shen Wenzhi and Qin Shuyi.

Scattered and scattered, almost filling the entire desk.

Xu Zhiyi expressed his gratitude one by one, and also sent a message of thanks to those who did not meet him.

In the evening, Xu Zhiyi invited a few roommates and Lin Youxi to have a meal together, which was regarded as a birthday.

After returning to the dormitory, Xu Zhiyi shared the cake with everyone and made a wish.

This is how his eighteenth birthday came to an end.

Compared with the eighteenth birthday of the previous life, Xu Zhiyi is very content in this life.

At that time, she was in a strange school, without the blessings of her family, nor the company of friends, nor did she have a birthday cake or any gifts.

She remembers that she was working part-time outside the school that day, and to celebrate her eighteenth birthday, she gritted her teeth and bought herself a small cake on the way back to school.

Unfortunately, on the way back to the dormitory, he was accidentally hit by someone, the cake fell to the ground, and the perpetrator ran away without a trace.

For this reason, she was sad for a long time......

Today, however, she not only has such a big birthday cake, but also receives blessings and gifts from so many people.

It's already complete.

Perhaps, the only fly in the ointment is that Shen Che was not able to be by her side and accompany her to spend this most important birthday in her life......

After cleaning up the mess, Xu Zhiyi was ready to go to bed.

However, just as she climbed into bed, she suddenly received a call from Shen Che. “…… Feed? ”

"Xu Zhiyi." Shen Che rarely called her full name: "Go downstairs." ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhiyi was stunned for a while: "You ......"

"I'll wait for you."

After Shen Che said this, he hung up the phone.

Xu Zhiyi was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed with his mobile phone.

She opened the closet, took out a coat and hurriedly draped it over her body, and prepared to go downstairs.

"Zhizhi, where are you going so late?" Yang Yiru poked her head out with some curiosity.

"That ......" Xu Zhiyi turned his head and smiled: "Shen Che is back." ”

"Whew~"

Yang Yiru suddenly realized: "Then are you coming back tonight?" ”

Xu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what he thought, and a suspicious flush suddenly appeared on his cheeks: "It should, shouldn't it come back." ”

"Got it, go ahead." Yang Yiru waved her hand, looking like "I understand".

Xu Zhiyi smiled embarrassedly and went out with his mobile phone.

Because it was almost time for confinement, Xu Zhiyi trotted all the way and ran out of the gate of the girls' home before closing.

The street lamp at the door was a little dim, and her eyes looked around the door before finally landing under the big tree not far away.

A figure was standing silently in place, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, the man lifted his feet and slowly walked towards her.

Xu Zhiyi also subconsciously walked towards him.

Step by step......

"Happy eighteenth birthday, Zhizhi." Shen Che handed the flowers in his hand to her.

Xu Zhiyi stretched out his hand to take the flowers, and said with some complexity: "Aren't you going to come back until the day after tomorrow?" ”

"I thought I wouldn't be back until the day after tomorrow, but shortly after I called you in the morning, Smith changed his mind and agreed to sign a contract with us. So I hurried up and finished what I was doing, and then bought the nearest plane and flew back. ”

After Shen Che finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, as if he was a little lucky.

Xu Zhiyi didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only lower his head and whisper, "It's hard."

"It's not hard, I'm sorry I couldn't celebrate your birthday with you." Shen Che said apologetically.

"It's okay, can you come back...... I'm already happy. ”

……

Shen Che drove over, and the car stopped outside the entrance of the girls' courtyard at this time.

The two chatted briefly and got into the car, watching the car slowly drive out of Beijing University, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?" ”

"Take you to a secret base." Shen Che blinked a little mysteriously.

"Secret base?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Pretend to be mysterious. Xu Zhiyi smiled, and his heart was aroused with a little curiosity.

However, within a few minutes of driving, the car stopped on the side of the road.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Zhiyi subconsciously looked at Shen Che, but found that his eyes were surprisingly black.

He looked at her quietly, and then asked, "I'm a little thirsty, do you want to drink water?" I'll go down and buy two bottles. ”

"I'm not thirsty, you can buy yours."

"Okay."

Soon, Shen Che got out of the car, and Xu Zhiyi watched him walk into a roadside convenience store.

After a while, he returned with a bag.

"I'll buy a few more bottles and see if you want to drink some."

"Okay."

Soon, the car was restarted.

However, to Xu Zhiyi's surprise, the car drove into a community not long after, and then stopped under an elevator apartment building.

"Where is this?" Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar environment around him, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but ask.

"It's our 'secret base.'" Shen Che smiled: "It's here, get out of the car." ”

Xu Zhiyi got out of the car with curiosity and followed Shen Che to the elevator.

The elevator eventually stopped on the 21st floor.

Shen Che pulled Xu Zhiyi out of the elevator, stopped in front of an anti-theft door, and skillfully entered the password.

With a "drop", the door opened.
