Paper Lover At Old Town Bookstore Chapter 31

plot collapse

Taking advantage of Song Zhili’s full attention on me, Yang Changwen crawled towards the door, sliding faster than a rabbit, leaving only a hasty closing sound.

The next second, Song Zhili’s palm pressed on my shoulder. The force was too strong to resist, and he pressed me hard into the sofa.He leaned forward and approached, his 1.9-meter tall figure casting a heavy shadow that enveloped my whole body. The smell of cedar was mixed with the lingering anger, making me breathless.

“You are not allowed to leave my side tonight.” His voice was low and stubborn, and his fingertips rubbed my collarbone, with a scalding temperature and undeniable possessiveness. “I will not give anyone the chance to get close to you again.”

I was forced to look up at him, seeing the paranoia and madness surging in his eyes, and there was only one thought left in my mind – the plot of this novel is too outrageous!It really exploded more and more!

Originally, he was just wearing a book to save a miserable intern, but in the end, he not only provoked the sinister male co-star Yang Changwen, but also triggered the secret love line of the second uncle of the paranoid CEO who had been hidden for many years. Now, he is forcibly imprisoned on the hotel sofa, and even his personal freedom is restricted!

In the chaos, Xu Xingruo’s playful and understanding look just now suddenly flashed into her mind – when she looked at Song Zhili, she didn’t have the slightest panic, but instead had a kind of certainty that “it’s true”.

My heart skipped a beat, and a ridiculous guess popped up: Could it be that Xu Xingruo already knew what Song Zhili was thinking?Her “watching the show” just now was not accidental at all, but she had already seen through the essence of this farce?

If this is the case, then what is the purpose of her approaching me and cooperating with Yang Changwen’s temptation?

Song Zhili’s fingertips were still tightening, and when I looked at his face so close to me, I felt my scalp numb. This chain reaction caused by the book threading had completely gone in an unpredictable direction, and I was trapped in it, without even a trace of room for struggle.The pressure on the sofa became heavier and heavier. Song Zhili’s palm was pressed against my shoulder, and the hot temperature almost burned through the fabric of my clothes.I struggled to get up, but he leaned closer, the tip of his nose almost touching my forehead, and the paranoia in his breath mixed with the smell of cedar, woven into an airtight net.

“Don’t bother.” His low and hoarse voice was full of exhaustion, but still irresistible, “Qiu Sheng, I have been waiting for too many years, and I can no longer watch you escape.”

I turned my head to avoid his gaze, feeling angry and confused.Before I read the book, I clearly came here to “save the tragic characters”, but now I have trapped myself like a caged bird?Xu Xingruo’s abnormality, Yang Changwen’s drunken talk, Song Zhili’s madness, and the plot that had already strayed to my grandma’s house, each one made me numb.

At this moment, my phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket. The moment the screen lit up, Song Zhili’s eyes immediately glanced over with vigilant scrutiny.

I took the opportunity to raise my hand to take out my phone, but he didn’t stop me, but his fingertips still held my wrist, giving me no chance to break free.

The caller ID was Lin Zhiqing.

As soon as I pressed the answer button, Lin Zhiqing’s anxious voice rushed out: “Brother Song! It’s not good! I was kicked out by the landlord! I also received a warning from my second uncle that I am not allowed to contact you again! And Xu Xingruo, she just sent me a message saying… saying that she had known that my second uncle liked you, and she was approaching you just to stimulate him!”

“What?!” I suddenly raised my voice and looked at Song Zhili in disbelief.

His face instantly darkened, and there was a sinister look in his eyes, and he obviously understood what was on the phone.”She’s quite smart.” Song Zhili sneered and squeezed my wrist tightly with his fingertips, “Do you think you can sow discord in this way?”

I couldn’t get away, so I could only yell into the phone: “Lin Zhiqing, where are you now? Are you safe?”

“I’m in the hotel, and my second uncle didn’t do anything to me, but…” Lin Zhiqing’s voice paused, with a hint of hesitation, “He also asked a private detective to keep an eye on you, and even knows your whereabouts in the neighboring city! Brother Song, you have to be careful, my second uncle is really crazy this time!”

The phone was snatched away by Song Zhili, and he said coldly into the receiver: “Be calm, or it won’t be as simple as moving out of the apartment next time.” After that, he hung up the phone and threw the phone on the coffee table.

“What do you want?” I looked at him, my tone full of powerlessness, “Xu Xingruo uses you, Yang Changwen… none of this is what I want! I was just saving people who didn’t deserve to die, not to be your concubine!”

“Save?” Song Zhili raised his eyebrows, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then was covered by paranoia, “No matter what you say, from now on, you can only stay with me.” He leaned forward, his lips brushed against my ear, his voice was morbidly gentle, “Those who want to use you or entangle you, I will clean them out one by one.”

His words sent chills all over my body, and I suddenly realized that Song Zhili’s madness was never just a whim.From the anonymous gifts in adolescence, to the forced kisses in the apartment late at night, to the pressing advances now, he has already laid out a net called “possession”, and I, from the moment I walked through the book, became the prey in his net.

At this moment, the door of the hotel room was lightly knocked, and then Xu Xingruo’s voice came in, with a bit of joking: “Second Uncle Song, Mr. Song, can I come in and have a chat? About the ‘old things’ between you two, and my next ‘exit scene’.”

Song Zhili’s eyes instantly turned cold and piercing. He stood up and walked to the door. He didn’t open the door, but said in a deep voice through the door: “Get out.”

“Don’t rush me away.” Xu Xingruo chuckled, “I know how many years you have been hiding your thoughts, and I also know Song Qiusheng’s secret. If you don’t let me in, I will tell all these things to the head office, so that everyone will know that the always indifferent President Song is a lunatic who will do anything for his nephew.”

Song Zhili’s body stiffened suddenly, and rage and struggle surged in his eyes.Xu Xingruo’s smile as he leaned against the doorframe was eye-catching, Song Zhili’s tense back revealed a rage that was about to explode at any time, and I collapsed on the sofa, with only one curse word left in my mind that was frantically scrolling through the screen – what the fuck is this plot?!

What kind of god did I mess with?Or did you press the wrong switch when wearing the book?This is not at all the “rescue the miserable intern” novel I originally read!

Song Zhili in the original book is obviously a cold and ascetic business tycoon who only cares about profit. How could he turn into a crazy person who is paranoid and secretly in love with his nephew?Xu Xingruo was supposed to be a weak and bullied little cabbage, but how did he become a theatergoer who saw everything and stirred up the situation?And Yang Changwen, the good male protagonist doesn’t fall in love with the female protagonist, but he drunkenly said that he was close to Xu Xingruo just to imitate the type I like?

The most outrageous thing is that no one knows that I am not from this world at all!I was just a spectator who came through the book. I wanted to save Xu Xingruo and then ran away. As a result, I was entangled by these corrupt characters and couldn’t move, and even my personal freedom was restricted!

The moment Song Zhili opened the door, Xu Xingruo stepped in. His high heels made no sound when he stepped on the carpet, but they felt like they were stepping on my nerves.When she looked at me, there was a hint of inquisitiveness in her eyes, which made me feel nervous – could she also know something?

“Song Qiusheng, you seem surprised?” Xu Xingruo raised his eyebrows with a bit of ridicule in his tone, “Or did you not expect that I already knew what Second Uncle Song was thinking?”

I opened my mouth, but I didn’t know what to say.You can’t tell her, “I’m not the original Song Qiusheng, I come from another world, and the plot is completely different from the book I read,” right?

Song Zhili stood in front of me and stared at Xu Xingruo with cold eyes: “What exactly do you want to do?”

“Nothing.” Xu Xingruo spread his hands and smiled playfully, “I just think this scene is quite interesting, and I want to come over and chat with all the ‘protagonists’. After all, there are not many people who can make Uncle Song go crazy and make Yang Changwen fascinated.”

I looked at the tense scene in front of me and felt only despair in my heart – this book was completely destroyed, and now it was unknown whether I could leave this outrageous world alive.

Song Zhili’s imprisonment, Xu Xingruo’s temptation, Yang Changwen’s entanglement, and this completely out-of-control plot, when will it end?
