Parallel World 1

Jiang Zhiyue stood downstairs of the villa. She looked up at the brightly lit balcony on the second floor, and suddenly felt a hint of powerlessness and panic in her heart.

The girl’s mobile phone screen was lit, showing that she was on the phone.

Seeing that Jiang Zhiyue didn't say anything, Yan Shu, opposite the receiver, hurriedly comforted her. Her voice was very anxious, so anxious that she couldn't say it clearly: "Zhizhi, don't think too much, those entertainment reporters like to make up randomly. Last time Chuchu was not accidentally dressed up in a skirt, but was then supported by her male partner at that time. There was a reporter rumor that the two were secretly married. Chuchu was angry for a long time because of this incident..."

"I know."

Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to make the little sister worried. Since the incident became a hot search, the phone number and WeChat were all occupied by news from family and friends.

She tried hard to squeeze out a smile and slowed down her voice to reply: "You don't have to worry about me, Shushu, I'm fine. I have been in love with Shen Chi for so many years. I must believe him, not to mention."

Jiang Zhiyue paused, and his eyes moved to the bright balcony again.

On the day Shen Chi proposed to her, she was leaning against the railing to watch the moon. The young man with outstanding eyes suddenly walked forward and put a cold object on her hand.

Even in this situation, Shen Chi still looked lazy and out of tune, but the tail of his eyes was red. He held a party at home today and drank a lot of wine. Jiang Zhiyue guessed that he should be drunk now.

Shen Chi said: "Girlfriend, don't fall in love anymore, will you get married?"

After the memory was recovered, Jiang Zhiyue was a little confused. She smiled again and said softly: "Besides, what if Qin Xin comes back? It was Shen Chi who took the initiative to propose marriage. He chose me, and I should believe him."

"Don't worry, Shushu, don't worry about me, I won't be so stupid that I believe the words of those entertainment reporters. I'll call Shen Chi first, chat later, and hang up."

Before Yan Shu could speak again, Jiang Zhiyue hurriedly hung up the phone.

The interface returned after the call is a hot search on Weibo, with the title saying: "Shen Family Second Young Master meets the model young actress Qin Xin at night"

Jiang Zhiyue stared at the photo of the two embracing each other for a few seconds. Because it was a secret photo and the distance was far, the photo was a bit blurry, but Jiang Zhiyue recognized it at a glance. It was her boyfriend and fiancé, and her childhood sweetheart she loved since childhood.

And, her boyfriend's white moonlight.

Jiang Zhiyue had the key to the villa. Just as she saw the news, her mind went blank. She took a taxi overnight to the villa to find Shen Chi to ask for an answer. Looking at the closed door, she suddenly retreated.

In the end, Jiang Zhiyue just called Shen Chi.

The phone rang for about a minute before it was connected, and a familiar tone came from the opposite side: "What's wrong, baby, is there anything wrong with calling so late?"

The smiling eyebrows suddenly appeared in her mind. Jiang Zhiyue wanted to shed tears. She forced herself to be so arrogant and pretended to be complaining and acted coquettishly: "Can't you call you so late?"

"Why can't it be? My baby will be able to play whenever he wants."

Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to listen to him jokingly now, and she turned straight forward: "Chen Chi, where are you?"

The next second, Chen Chi, who was still laughing, suddenly stopped. He paused for a second and spoke unnaturally: "Didn't I say that, I've been called on a business trip by the old man these days."

Jiang Zhiyue knew that Chen Chi was lying. She wanted to ask him why he was lying to her, if he was with Qin Xin now, and wanted to ask Qin Xin what her fiancée was when she came back.

But when the words came to her mouth, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word.

Chen Chi didn't seem to notice something wrong with Jiang Zhiyue, and he continued, "Okay, baby, it's getting late, I'm still going to work hard. You have to rest early, and I'll be back in a few days. I'll take you to play when I come back. Good night."

Jiang Zhiyue lowered her head and smiled, whispering: "Okay, good night."

The weather in Qingcheng has become colder recently. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhiyue's heart seemed to be rolling around in an ice cellar, and the temperature at her fingertips became colder bit by bit. She wrapped her coat on her body and looked up at the night sky.

The clouds were densely packed together, and there were no stars on the curtain, only a few scattered moons attached to them, shining with bright and faint light that was almost undetectable.

Jiang Zhiyue felt very cold, a bit cold, and her stomach felt disgusted. She stood by the flower bed, looking at a loss and confused, and her phone was still flashing with messages. There were Yan Shu, Tang Chuchu, and brother Ji Yunshen, but she was in no mood at this time.

The asphalt road is long and there is no end at first sight. The lights on the roadside have broken for a while. Jiang Zhiyue is afraid of the darkness, but in the past, Chen Chi would send her home, so she never felt anything. Now, that kind of helpless fear gathers towards her from all directions.

Jiang Zhiyue was too anxious to leave at night and didn't have time to charge her phone. She had been calling Yan Shu just now, and the battery obviously couldn't support her staying outside anymore.

Fearing that his parents were worried, Jiang Zhiyue did not ask the driver at home to see her off, but ran out secretly.

Chen Chi's private villa is located in the suburbs, a little distance from the Jiang family. Because it was late at night, there was no one in the already remote place, and it was not easy to get a car. Jiang Zhiyue waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for a taxi to take orders.

Until the last one was exhausted, the phone screen was completely blacked out. Jiang Zhiyue was stunned for a second, and in just a moment, her consciousness that had been holding on for a night suddenly collapsed.

As soon as she blinked her eyes, tears in her eyes fell one by one to the ground. She squatted on the ground with her knees in her arms, suddenly she didn't know what to do.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a burst of rapid footsteps broke the cold atmosphere at this time. The footsteps became closer and closer until they stopped until they walked to the girl.

In front of her was a pair of exquisite and noble men's leather shoes. In the blur of tears, Jiang Zhiyue's gaze was focused on one point. She subconsciously raised her eyes and faced the person who came.

The man has a tall body, wide shoulders, narrow waist, and a good figure. He is wearing a clean and neat dark black suit, with long and straight legs under the suit pants, high eyebrows, beautiful curves and thin lips, and every line on his face seems to be carefully carved.

His face is somewhat similar to Shen Chi, but it has a completely different style. The Shen family has excellent genes. Chen Chi's facial features are soft. He loves to laugh. Everyone in Qingcheng knows the rebellious Shen family's second young master Chen Chi.

The man in front of him was blunt and had a very outstanding look, but his cold face was hidden very deeply, and his expression was light without any emotion. It was a kind of innate nobleness that no one could compare to.

Jiang Zhiyue remembers that this is Chen Chi's half-brother Chen Yan.

The Jiang family has a good relationship with the Shen family. The Jiang family is kind to Mr. Shen. The Shen family has only two boys. Mr. Shen likes Jiang Zhiyue very much and spoils her like a granddaughter. Jiang Zhiyue goes to the Shen family to see Mr. Shen when she has time. She has grown up with Shen Chi since she was young.

Although Chen Yan is Chen Chi's brother, she has little contact with Shen Yan. In addition, she has been a little afraid of him since she was a child. Chen Yan is also a distant and cold-hearted person, so whenever he sees him in the Shen family, the two of them just say hello and there is no further information.

The last time she saw Chen Yan again, she was invited by Mr. Shen to play at home. At that time, she had just been engaged to Shen Chi.

While his parents were talking to the old man, Jiang Zhiyue sneaked out to have a breath of wind and met Chen Yan who had come back from outside in the yard.

She was also shocked at the time. Jiang Zhiyue remembered that a few days ago she heard Grandpa Chen mention something accidentally, saying that his eldest grandson was abroad and was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home to see him.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't know why Chen Yan, who was so busy that she couldn't see anyone, suddenly came back. Out of politeness, she greeted her as usual and shouted "Brother Chen Yan".

Chen Yan seemed to have drunk wine. The two were far apart, but Jiang Zhiyue still smelled the faint smell of tobacco and the intoxicating smell of alcohol in the air.

Chen Yan didn't say anything, just stared at her for a long time before speaking: "You and him..."

The man paused slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again. His lips bent down self-deprecatingly, and loneliness was hidden under his cold expression: "Are you going to get engaged?"

Jiang Zhiyue was stunned for a moment when Chen Yan asked her. She guessed that Chen Yan must be drunk at this time, otherwise she would not have shown such an expression that was not like his style.

But she still responded honestly.

There was no light in the yard, and Chen Yan stood in the backlight. With a few rays of bright moonlight that fell quietly, Jiang Zhiyue couldn't see his expression clearly, and could only see those beautiful eyes.

His pupils were very dark, as dark as the cold glass on a snowy night. Something was floating in the man's eyes, and the bottom of his eyes was dark and unclear.

Being stared at by those deep eyes, Jiang Zhiyue's heart trembled. She wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, such as she got engaged to Shen Chi a few days ago, and asked Chen Yan when he came back.

Before Jiang Zhiyue had figured out which topic to use was better, she suddenly saw Chen Yan's thin lips slightly lifting, as if she was about to say something.

The next second, someone in the hall called her, and Jiang Zhiyue subconsciously turned her head and looked over. When she turned her face again, Chen Yan had already left.

If it weren't for the fact that he had seen a man in a suit and tie next to Grandpa Shen again, Jiang Zhiyue would almost think that night was just a dream she had in a trance.

However, Chen Yan's gaze did not fall on her throughout the whole time. His expression was very light, and he still had the expression of no mountains or water, as if what Jiang Zhiyue saw was really a dream.

Jiang Zhiyue stared at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Chen Yan lowered his eyes and his eyes fell on the girl's slightly swollen eyes. Jiang Zhiyue had just cried. Her eyes were red now, and there were bright tears on her long eyelashes. Her nose was also red, and she looked very pitiful.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes gently, looked at Jiang Zhiyue's silly face, and his finger bones drooped bent to his side, restrained the urge to hold her in his arms, and lowered his voice: "What, can't you even shout now?"

Jiang Zhiyue hurriedly came back to her senses: "Shen, Shen, Shen, Shen..."

She stuttered even with nervous words, and she "shen" for a long time before she whispered the words behind her: "Brother Chen Yan."

Chen Yan didn't care either, he asked again: "Why did you turn off the phone and didn't answer the phone?"

Jiang Zhiyue was stunned and looked at him stupidly: "The phone is out of battery."

She hesitated for a few seconds and asked the question: "Why did you call me suddenly?"

She and Shen Yan cannot say that they have nothing to do with each other. If you really want to make up for it, they can only be regarded as brothers from aristocratic families who can be said occasionally when they met when they were young.

Jiang Zhiyue really couldn't think of any reason to call him to call him for someone like Chen Yan.

Chen Yan responded lightly and seriously: "I'll pick you up."

He stretched out his hand to Jiang Zhiyue, still with that bland expression: "Can you still stand up?"

Looking at the big hand with clear joints, the cold white skin became more delicate and beautiful in the moonlit night. Jiang Zhiyue hesitated a little. She thought for a while, and was embarrassed to hold his hand, but just gently pulled the man's sleeve.

Jiang Zhiyue patted the soil on her butt and said politely: "Thank you."

For various reasons, Jiang Zhiyue felt that it was necessary to keep a distance from Shen Yan, but she had to squat for too long and really didn't have much strength, so she had to stretch out two fingers and carefully pull the edge of the sleeve.

Looking at the fingers hanging on the black cloth, perhaps thinking of something, Chen Yanqing couldn't help but curl up his lips and murmured softly: "It's still the same as when he was a child."

The man's voice was very low. Jiang Zhiyue thought he was talking to him, but she didn't hear it clearly. She blinked and looked over. The face that had no emotional changes came into her eyes. She hesitated for a moment, thinking that she might have heard it wrong, so she didn't ask.

Under the thick moonlight, she held Chen Yan's sleeve and followed the man obediently. Jiang Zhiyue walked a little slowly, and Chen Yan's pace was also slow, as if she was waiting for her.

The shadows of the two people were pulled long.

The heater in the car was very high. As soon as Jiang Zhiyue got on the car, she felt much warmer all over her body. Her breath was filled with the pleasant smell of men, like the long-lasting mangrove snow, mixed with a faint smell of tobacco, but it was unexpectedly not bad.

She was wandering all night long, and for some reason, as if she suddenly had a reliance on her and landed steadily.

Jiang Zhiyue secretly glanced at the man beside her with his light. Since he got into the car, Chen Yan had not spoken anymore. His eyes were half closed, and his slender legs were overlapping, as if he was closing his eyes to rest.

The atmosphere was too serious and solemn. Jiang Zhiyue seemed to be back when she met her class teacher in high school. She sat upright and didn't dare to move. She tried to move towards the car window, and even breathed subconsciously, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.

Jiang Zhiyue stared at the shadow of the tree outside the car window and was in a daze. A low and magnetic sound suddenly came from her ears, like a torn moonlight.

"Jiang Zhiyue."

Jiang Zhiyue turned her face and looked back with a puzzled expression.

Chen Yan raised his clear eyelashes to look at her. His eyes were very dark, and the eyes of the two people were intersecting in the air.
