Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1635 Evening

Just as Zhou Zhi was driving towards Manzhou, on the Manzhou Yangtze River Bridge shrouded in thick fog, a girl was leaning on the concrete bridge railing, staring blankly at the invisible river.

The orange light of the bridge street lamps looks very warm, but in fact it has no temperature at all.

The girl seemed to have made up her mind. She placed her expensive handbag and a small Motorola mobile phone, which was not something that someone of her age should own, on the railing. She took off her woolen coat and high heels, and then climbed over the railing.

If I let go of her hand again, the girl would disappear in the thick fog shrouded by lights and bid farewell to this world forever.

Just at this moment, the Motorcycle on the bridge railing rang.

The girl didn't expect the phone to ring at this time, and this ringtone was the one she set. After thinking about it, she climbed the bridge railing with one hand and answered the phone with the other hand: "You stupid guy, why are you calling so early?"

"Xueshan, I'm heartbroken."

"Where are you now?"

"I'm on my way over from Jiachuan."

"Then I'll wait for you at the Yangtze River Bridge."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, the girl sighed, climbed back over the bridge railing, put on her shoes and coat again, took a look at the Motorola, and threw it into the river.

By the time the Cherokee reached the bridgehead, Feng Xueshan had already returned to her calm and composed self, with her purse hanging over her shoulder and her hands in her coat pockets. Seeing Zhou Zhi in the car, she came over and leaned over to take a look at him: "Are you really breaking up? You seem to be doing fine."

"Stop messing around, find a place and I'll talk to you."

"Then let's go to Zhongshan Park." Feng Xueshan opened the car door and got in: "And go home on the way."

The car drove to the back door of Zhongshan Park. There was a cement platform here, where one could see the Yangtze River and the bridge where Feng Xueshan was just standing. After Zhou Zhi turned off the engine, Feng Xueshan asked, "Tell me, what happened between you and Shuyi?"

Zhou Zhi told Feng Xueshan about the situation with a wry smile. He knew that if there was a third person in the world who could understand the situation between Jiang Shuyi and him, it would probably be Feng Xueshan.

Feng Xueshan listened quietly and couldn't help but shake her head: "So that's how it is... I told you a long time ago that things weren't right between you two from the beginning, remember?"

Zhou Zhi then recalled that Feng Xueshan had indeed said that he was too polite to Jiang Shuyi, and Jiang Shuyi was also extremely cautious towards him. Such a relationship between lovers was somewhat abnormal.

However, I didn't care about it at all at that time, and I was confident that I could handle everything after living two lives. However, the result was contrary to my expectations.

The only thing that was better than the previous life was that I finally knew the reason why Jiang Shuyi left without saying goodbye in the previous life.

"Later, I saw your relationship gradually improve. I thought I was overthinking it. Maybe this is how you scholars get along with each other." Feng Xueshan tilted her head and looked at Zhou Zhi: "Shu Yi is really admirable. If it were me now, I might also tolerate it."

"Love is a luxury. If you can settle for the next best thing, it's good enough to get a shadow."

"That's not what you, Feng Xueshan, would say." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "Don't you always put love first?"

"Let's talk about your business now, don't bring me into it." Feng Xueshan said seriously: "You two don't put love first, but you are both unwilling to compromise and lie to yourselves."

"It's not that she doesn't want to lie to herself, it's that she doesn't want to lie to me, and I can't bully her." Zhou Zhi said, "In fact, Shuyi understood it earlier than me, but she was confined to the thoughts of the people around her, and tortured herself like this. According to her personality, if it weren't for me, she wouldn't be like this."

"You really are..." Feng Xueshan suddenly chuckled: "I didn't think you were anything special when I was a child, how come you made the little girl so confused? Now you are suffering the consequences, right?" "Hey, I'm heartbroken, and you're comforting me like this?"

"Tsk, you're talking like everyone has experienced heartbreak. As long as you don't go into a dead end, you can get over it with a change of mind."

This suddenly reminded Zhou Zhi of Feng Xueshan's fate in her previous life. He grabbed her hand in fear and said, "Xueshan, why do you say that? Last time you came to Shudu to visit the Jiulong Shopping Center, Liu Lu said you picked out two men's suits..."

"I bought it for my colleague but it's not okay? I bought it for my dad but it's not okay?!" Feng Xueshan didn't expect Zhou Zhi to be so sensitive. Instead, she was a little scared and quickly made up an excuse: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Thinking that such force was not enough to make Zhou Zhi look away, she rolled her eyes and gently held Zhou Zhi's hand: "What's the matter? You just left Shuyi and you want to tease me again?"

Zhou Zhi quickly threw Feng Xueshan's hand away: "I... I'm just concerned about you."

Feng Xueshan also felt that today's events were too miraculous. If Zhou Zhi hadn't called her early in the morning, what she had just said might have really come true. She was actually very touched by Zhou Zhi's reaction in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. She smiled and leaned back in her seat: "Anyway, today we are finally even."

"What do you mean by even?" Zhou Zhi didn't know where this girl's thoughts had gone.

"Do you remember the agreement we made when we came back from the Hydropower School?"

"The one where everyone gets together when they're thirty and haven't found a partner yet?"

"Ah." Feng Xueshan smiled and said, "But there is a prerequisite, that is, we have to be fair to each other. It can't always be that you listen to me talk about feelings and I have to listen to you. Only then can it be fair. Are we fair today?"

"Why do you seem so happy that I broke up?"

"Elbow, you still don't understand." Feng Xueshan sighed: "In the eyes of others, you are the ones who broke up, but from what you just said, how could you have ever been in love? It's obvious that you both loved each other."

"Since you have never been in love, how can you be heartbroken?"

  A word of advice awakened Zhou Zhi, who then remembered that Jiang Shuyi fell in love with his own shadow, and the one he fell in love with was also the shadow of Jiang Shuyi in his previous life.

It was that bond that made him cautious in this life. Even though Jiang Shuyi's fate had changed greatly from the previous life, his attitude towards her was still based on the guilt from the previous life.

With such a desire to repay and protect, his feelings for Jiang Shuyi are also not equal, and there is a misalignment between the two.

Seeing Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded by what she said, Feng Xueshan reached out and patted his face: "You still have a lot to learn from this lesson."

After Feng Xueshan pointed this out to him, Zhou Zhi finally understood why he had felt a vague sense of relief on the way here.

The emotional shackles from two lifetimes were finally completely untied today. Although I still lost the comfort after all, I let it go on my own initiative after understanding the reason.

"Thank you Xueshan, I feel much better now."

"Go home and sleep when you feel better. You look like you haven't had a good rest in a long time. You haven't even adjusted to the jet lag yet and you're staying up late. You're killing yourself."

"Then I'll take you to work first?"

"No, I don't want to go to that crappy class anymore. Elbow, how about I go to you?"

"What?"
