Chapter 114: Acting like a Korean drama hero (Please subscribe, almost 10 subscriptions)
Chen Zhuo's home is in Yuexiu, and there is no direct evening bus at this time. After going downstairs, Chen Zhuo simply gritted his teeth and hailed a taxi.

After all, when he was in school, School Beauty Song helped him a lot.

Not to mention the many times he got free meals, there was also the matter with Yuanyuan, including the favors he received in the Chong'erfei Club for helping him to show off... He had to pay them back!

After arriving at Zhujiang Dijing, Chen walked towards the river while calling Song Shiwei.

This community is really close to the Pearl River. From the main entrance, it is just across a road, and not far away is the landmark building Guangzhou Tower which is under construction.

There are still a lot of tourists here during the National Day holiday, but there seem to be even more patrolling police. After all, there is a rich variety of food in Guangzhou, but there are almost no places to play, so even the riverside has become a rare place to go.

"…I'm already here at the dock, where are you?"

Chen said while talking on the phone.

"I'm here too."

Song Shiwei said.

When Chen looked up, he saw Song Shiwei standing by the railing by the river and was suddenly stunned.

It was the first time that he saw the school beauty Song with her hair loose. Her straight long hair was as smooth as satin and fell naturally to her waist. Her left hand was resting on the railing, her eyes gazing at the river, which was covered by a cold halo, and she was alone in the night.

"Hello."

Chen Zhuo came to Song Shiwei and greeted her in a fashionable way.

Song Shiwei turned around and glanced at Chen Zhe, and nodded as well.

"Do you want to go over there?"

Chen felt that there were too many people around, or maybe it was Song Shiwei who was looking out over the river, inadvertently attracting some men to gather around him.

"Good~"

Song Shiwei did not refuse. She followed Chen and walked a few steps to the side. It turned out that there were only regretful looks left there.

When they arrived at a quieter place, neither of them spoke at first.

Under the pitch-black night, the surface of the river looked like a huge piece of black jade inlaid in the city. Occasionally, a few ferries would cut through the water and pass by, emitting low whistle sounds.

"What's more complicated?"

After a while, Chen Zhuo broke the silence.

Song Shiwei was silent for a while, then said, "My mother has always been very strict with me. Can you guess that?"

"Um……"

Although Chen Zhuo didn't know what this matter had to do with him, he still nodded slightly:

"When you were having dinner with Senior Brother Ye, you said that your mother didn't allow you to keep kittens and puppies since you were young because they shed hair."

"Actually, I noticed that you quite like small animals. At that time, I thought that Auntie was a bit overbearing."

"During the two subsequent meals, your mom seemed to call you at a certain time. She was more punctual than me going to work at 8 a.m."

"Also, on the National Day holiday, your aunt drove to pick you up. Although you didn't say a word, she kept wiping the wheels of the suitcase with wet tissues when she loaded the luggage into the car."

At this point, Chen felt a little depressed: "A mother who is overbearing, controlling, and a bit of a germaphobe is more than just [strict]..."

Song Shiwei also sighed in his heart. He had actually been facing these random examples, which made him feel suffocated even when describing them, alone for more than ten years.

After a while, Song Shiwei said softly: "Actually... Mom wasn't like this before."

This involves private family matters. Chen Zhuo didn't intend to ask but he didn't refuse to listen either.

However, Song Shiwei was just helping his mother explain and did not intend to discuss this issue in too much detail.

Then, she said to Chen Zhuo, "We walked back to school together that night. My mother wanted to know who you were. I was worried that she would come looking for you and cause you some trouble."

"Oh~"

Chen Zhuo understood a little bit. This should be the reason why Song Shiwei came to see him tonight.

From what she said, it seemed that she was worried about being implicated.

Chen stared at the Pearl River. The river surface spread out quietly, as if it was so vast that it could only be seen in dreams.

"Then what do you think?"

Chen Zhuo suddenly asked.

"I?"

Song Shi was stunned for a moment. She thought that the matter was over after she talked to Chen Zhuo.

By the way, I experienced the wonderful feeling of meeting a boy by the river late at night.

Then, I became like I was in high school, with everything going according to plan under my mother's supervision. There were no surprises, no impulses, and no fun.

Thinking about his future living conditions, Song Shiwei felt that the invisible wet cotton jacket on his body seemed to have become a little heavier.

"Correct!"

Chen Zhu nodded: "Do you want to draw a clear line between everything?"

If School Beauty Song personally means this, then there is naturally nothing to say.

If she...

"No."

Song Shiwei spoke up, and she told Chen Zhuo solemnly: "I think everyone is fine."

“Everyone” may include many things and does not necessarily refer to people specifically.

It was more like Song Shiwei's summary of their experiences over the past month, including free meals, cooking, Chen Zhuo's troubles, and his circle of friends.

Chen looked over, and Song Shiwei did not avoid his gaze.

Her eyes were as clear as water and calm, her skin was very fair, and under the dim street lights, her whole body looked as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

Chen smiled, picked up a few stones from the riverbank, and threw them into the river. Song Shiwei did not say anything, watching the waves on the water.

"What do you think of my makeshift startup team?"

After a while, Chen asked as if his thoughts were jumping.

At this time, Song Shiwei felt that there was no need to say anything against her will. Although it was a makeshift troupe, she felt that it was a hundred times more interesting than the boring and uneventful life in high school.

“It’s very attractive.”

Song Shiwei thought for a moment and replied.

"So……"

Chen Zhuo exerted all his strength and threw all the stones in his hand into the river. Hearing the "plop" sound, he clapped his hands and said, "Then I will formally invite you to join this makeshift team!"

Song Shi was stunned for a moment, she understood what Chen Zhe meant.

Knowing that his mother might find him, he invited himself to join?
"But……"

Song Shiwei wanted to say something.

"Will Auntie eat people?"

Chen interrupted in a seemingly rude manner.

"will not."

Song Shiwei shook his head.

"That's it."

Chen said casually: "Since you can't eat people, why should I be afraid?"

"As long as you feel happy, as long as you don't mind."

Chen made this decision as if he was discussing the weather forecast: "You can do whatever you want. When you get tired of it, it won't be too late to leave."

Looking at Chen's heroic and determined tone, Song Shiwei's depressed mood just now seemed to be suddenly cleared up, and the sadness in his eyes was also gradually reduced.

In fact, she doesn't necessarily have to join this team, but the attitude Chen Zhe showed when facing problems made Song Shiwei feel that he was very responsible.

"Thank you."

Song Shiwei tried hard to remain calm and composed.

On this somewhat dull midsummer night tonight, the deep sky seemed to be burned through by countless small holes by sparks from the sun, and finally transparent beams of light leaked out.

"What are you thanking me for? You helped me so much in college."

Chen Zhuo indeed did not take it seriously. Although he did not know what Song Shiwei's mother did, it sounded like she should have a high status.

If she really finds herself and talks to me nicely, then there will be no problem.

If she gets really angry, she won't be easy to deal with. She might even disgust her: "Auntie, do you want to join the team? We are in need of talents like you!"

"Because you helped me in high school, too."

Song Shiwei said that she should be referring to the harassment incident by Li Jianming.

But now when Chen Zhuo mentioned these things, he suddenly felt like "the past has been gone for thousands of years", and couldn't help but say: "At that time, I really didn't expect that the rumors about the two of us would spread so fiercely, and there is no way to explain it clearly."

It’s all fucking Mou Jiawen’s fault!

Hearing the slight complaint in Chen's tone, Song Shiwei couldn't help but laugh.

She was usually very cold and aloof, but when she suddenly smiled, she looked so cool and elegant under the moonlight, which gave people an extremely strong feeling. Even Chen Zhe could not help but be stunned.

Song Shiwei avoided her gaze, smoothed her wind-blown hair, and said softly as if talking to herself, "I'm not angry about these rumors."

"Om~"

Suddenly, another ferry passed by, honking its horn.

"What did you just say?"

Chen Zhuo picked his ears and didn't hear clearly the last sentence Song Shiwei said.

"there is nothing."

Song Shiwei shook his head.

Some words seem very light, but once they are blown by the October wind, you can no longer hear anything.

Suddenly, Song Shiwei's cell phone rang. The ringtone was rapid and shrill, and it was particularly harsh in this quiet night, as if someone was scratching glass with fingernails next to his ear.

Song Shiwei glanced at it and didn't answer.

After the phone rang once and then hung up automatically, the second call came in persistently.

Song Shiwei frowned slightly, as if hesitating whether to answer it.

Chen Zhuo, who was standing next to him, suddenly recalled some scenes from Korean dramas.

He suddenly snatched the phone, hung up the call, removed the SIM card, and was about to throw the phone into the river like the handsome male protagonist in a Korean drama.

"A cell phone costs 1 yuan."

Song Shiwei said calmly beside him.

"Oh?"

Chen Zhuo turned his head slowly: "You mean, if I throw it away, I have to pay for it?"

Song Shiwei nodded his chin.

"I was just kidding. I was just testing the weight and feel of the phone."

Chen handed over the phone obediently: "Here, there's also the card, be careful not to lose it, or it'll be hard to find it late at night."
