Jiang Nan planned to send the clothes to Zhou Zhixu when she was free on the weekend, asking her to pass them on to Zhou Zhengan, and then return to her ordinary life day after day.
At noon the next day, Jiang Nan made two meals in the company cafeteria and took one to the hospital for his mother, Shen Li. Jiang's mother was still having an infusion in her hands, her mouth was full of bitter taste, and she had no appetite, so she asked Jiang Nan to Nan put the things away first.
Jiang Nan put the thermos box on the table, then walked to the window and opened some curtains, letting in some light.
"Put the food here and go back and have a rest. You have to go to work in the afternoon." Shen Li slowly sat up and leaned on a pillow. Due to her long-term illness, the corners of her mouth had no color and she looked very haggard. .
Jiang Nan replied softly: "It's okay, I don't have much time to spend with you."
Shen Li sighed, feeling sour in her heart. She thought of something and said, "Your Uncle Song said you don't want to live at home? Are you not used to it?"
The Uncle Song that Shen Li mentioned was her husband who she later married. At that time, Jiang Nan was already studying in college in Nanlin. He had a meek temper and was not close to his new family. Shen Li felt guilty and always thought that he owed his daughter.
Jiang Nan actually didn't think about it that much, but she felt that it was probably inconvenient to live in that home now. After all, in addition to Uncle Song, Uncle Song's son was also at home.
Although he thought so, Jiang Nan did not say anything to make Shen Li worry. He just smiled and said: "The house at home is far from the place where I work. I now live in the house allocated to me by the company. It is close to the company and the transportation is convenient. fine."
"When will Uncle Song come over?" Seeing his mother's expression of embarrassment, Jiang Nan asked casually, changing the topic.
"It should take a while. Song Yan has brought his girlfriend home. He has to stay at home."
Song Yan was Uncle Song's son. Jiang Nan nodded in understanding, moved a chair and sat down next to his mother.
Shen Li looked at his daughter and reached out to hold her daughter's hand. It was very warm, completely different from Jiang Nan's frozen hand when he came in from outside.
Jiang Nan looked at his mother's eyes looking at him and felt a little strange. He couldn't help but asked funnyly: "What's wrong?"
Shen Li said: "Song Yan is two years younger than you, but he has already brought his girlfriend home. In all these years, I have never seen your boyfriend."
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment and said perfunctorily: "If I get a boyfriend, I will definitely bring it to you to see."
"Waiting for you to bring it? Will I ever be so lucky in this life?" Shen Li shook his head.
Jiang Nan smiled and said nothing. Shen Li seemed to have prepared something to say to her. Without waiting for her to speak, he said again: "Your uncle Song has a colleague's son who is one year older than you. I I’ve seen the photos…”
"Mom." Jiang Nan interrupted Shen Li helplessly. She finally understood her mother's intention.
"What's wrong?" Shen Li muttered dissatisfiedly: "I am already half buried, and I just hope that my daughter will be safe. Now I just ask you to meet someone, and I didn't say that it will definitely happen. You If you don't want to, then..."
"I'll go." Jiang Nan interrupted quickly. She was convinced. When she was in Nanlin a few years ago, her colleagues there often complained about being forced to get married by their families. She thought it was nothing at the time, but when she came back, I have experienced something like this myself, so I understand what it feels like.
When Shen Li saw that her daughter had agreed, she picked up the mobile phone on the table and made a call. She was as fast as if she had already been prepared and waited for Jiang Nan to nod in agreement.
After a while, Shen Li put down his phone, looked at his daughter with a smile and said, "Wancheng Hotel at eight o'clock on Friday night."
Jiang Nan: "..."
On Friday afternoon, Jiang Nan slowly came to the hotel at the urging of her mother's phone call. Shen Li sent her a message. The man she was dating was wearing brown clothes and glasses.
Jiang Nan stood at the door of the hotel and looked inside. This hotel really looked like a good place for a blind date. Although there were many people, it was not noisy. The decoration of the store even had a somewhat elegant style.
Seeing her standing at the door, the waiter couldn't help walking up and asked: "Hello, do you have a reservation?"
Jiang Nan looked around but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he described the information to the waiter and asked the waiter to help him find the person.
The waiter thought for a while and led her towards the inside of the hotel.
They stopped in front of the window. Jiang Nan's eyes turned to the man sitting there, and he couldn't help but tense up. It happened that the man also raised his head and looked towards them.
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhou Zhengan's eyes.
Seeing them like this, the waiter knew that they knew each other, so he left a message: "Take your time, please." and walked away.
Jiang Nan was still in shock, so Zhou Zhengan raised his chin towards the seat opposite him: "Sit down first."
Jiang Nan quickly calmed down her expression and sat down opposite him. The two looked at each other in silence, and a feeling of embarrassment spread between them.
Zhou Zhengan looked much more comfortable than Jiang Nan. He seemed to be here to relax more than to go on a blind date. He casually took off his gold-rimmed glasses and rubbed his sore eyes.
He almost forgot about the blind date today, but it was only after his mother called to remind him that he realized that he had almost missed the time. He rushed from the laboratory in a hurry and even forgot to take off his glasses.
Unexpectedly, the young lady with whom he was on a blind date came even later than him.
Jiang Nan took a look at Zhou Zhengan. He must be wearing glasses and a brown windbreaker. She still couldn't believe it.
"How are your feet?" Zhou Zhengan picked up the teapot on the table and poured Jiang Nan a cup of tea.
"It's ready." Jiang Nan thought of something and continued: "Your clothes are still with me. I have washed them and will send them to you tomorrow."
"There's no rush." Zhou Zheng'an said.
Just at this moment, the dishes were served. Zhou Zhengan first picked up the chopsticks in front of Jiang Nan and wiped them carefully with paper. His speed was neither hasty nor slow, and coupled with his beautiful hands, it was very eye-catching.
Zhou Zheng'an handed the cleaned chopsticks to Jiang Nan and said with a warm smile: "Miss Jiang, whether you want to participate in this blind date or not, since you are here, you should have a good meal."
Jiang Nan realized that he was referring to her being late for the blind date, and suddenly felt ashamed. Zhou Zhengan watched her face turn from white to red, feeling a little funny.
This girl always seems to easily show her emotions in front of outsiders.
"I didn't know it was you..." Jiang Nan muttered subconsciously.
"What?" Zhou Zhengan didn't hear clearly and frowned slightly, showing a confused expression.
Jiang Nan hurriedly waved her hand and replied: "No, no, I said... I didn't expect you to come on a blind date."
"Same as you, the family is forced." Zhou Zhengan felt very helpless when he thought of this. If it was just his mother, that would be fine, but there was a grandma sitting above him, using her physical condition to suppress him, giving Zhou Zhengan no room for re-election. None, it was fine before, but since Zhou Zhixu, who is younger than him, got married, this situation has become more and more serious.
"..."
Probably because the person sitting opposite her was Zhou Zhengan, Jiang Nan couldn't even taste the food in her mouth. She hoped that the blind date banquet would end quickly, but paradoxically she hoped that time could slow down a little bit more. .
Zhou Zhengan found that the girl seemed to talk less than him. Except for his occasional words and Jiang Nan's echoing responses, the two of them could only eat quietly.
This was good, as he didn't have to think about how to prevaricate the other party's words.
Zhou Zheng'an was forced by his mother to have a kiss for almost a month. His colleagues in the hospital didn't know how to make fun of him, but he just had no interest in this aspect. After a month of kiss, he was either annoyed by the other person's chattering or noisy. Both parties have no feelings, and they are both here to deal with the parents.
Zhou Zheng'an liked to see the latter, but the former gave him a headache.
But Jiang Nan unexpectedly made him feel comfortable.
When the meal was almost over, Zhou Zhengan got up to pay the bill. Jiang Nan's cell phone also rang on the table. She glanced at the number of the incoming message on her cell phone, picked it up and put it to her ear.
Shen Li sounded helpless on the other end of the phone: "Nannan, where are you now?"
Jiang Nan was a little confused: "I'm right where you said I am."
"Then why did the young man's family call to say that they haven't seen you yet?"
Jiang Nan said "Ah" and stood up. Shen Li said in an ironic tone: "This young man has left before he can see you. You'd better come and explain to me right away."
Jiang Nan put down her phone, still in a dazed state. She raised her eyes and saw Zhou Zhengan who had just returned from paying the bill. Zhou Zhengan was also confused by her and stopped.
Later, Jiang Nan learned that the name of the man who was going to go on a blind date with her was Cheng Nuo, not Zhou Zhengan, that he wore black-rimmed glasses instead of gold wire, and that the man wore a brown sweater instead of a windbreaker.
"..."
Jiang Nan told Zhou Zhengan that he was going to the hospital to accompany his mother.
Although she repeatedly refused, Zhou Zhengan still drove her to the door of the hospital. The two parted at the door of the hospital. Jiang Nan seemed to have something to say to him and showed hesitation. Zhou Zhengan felt a little strange and was not in a hurry to leave. He walked beside the car. Stand and wait.
"Um...Zhou Zheng'an, have you made a mistake?" Jiang Nan finally couldn't help but say, they went on a blind date with the wrong person, and the two of them even had a meal together. This was simply worse than meeting a stranger. The blind date was even more embarrassing, making her ashamed to speak.
Zhou Zhengan was puzzled: "What?"
Jiang Nan pursed her lips, still hesitating, and was about to speak again when the pleasant sound of piano interrupted everything. Zhou Zhengan took out his cell phone from his windbreaker, took a look at it, and pointed to his cell phone at Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan could only swallow his words, waved goodbye to him and turned around.
"Zhou Zheng'an." After Jiang Nan took a few steps, he quickly turned around and called him.
Zhou Zhengan looked at her, not answering the phone in his hand.
Jiang Nan said hurriedly: "I will return the clothes to you tomorrow."
In this way, as if she was afraid that Zhou Zhengan would misunderstand that she wanted to hide her coat, Zhou Zhengan couldn't help but smile and said hello.
Not surprisingly, Zhou Zheng'an was also scolded by his family, but this was probably because Zhou Zheng'an had always been perfunctory about blind dates. The Zhou family just called and talked for a few words, and then began to choose blind dates for him in private.
On Friday morning, the school bell of New University rang on campus. People in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief. They collected their books and walked outside. Only two or three little girls were left. They were holding their mobile phones and eager to try. Zhou Zhengan As if they didn't see it, they picked up their books and walked out of the classroom. The little girls showed regretful expressions and completely lost their courage.
Zhou Zheng'an's reputation in SNU is very divided. Some people think that he doesn't like to laugh and is strict in his work. Even if Zhou Zheng'an never gets up to answer people and doesn't care about the little tricks in the audience, they are not willing to take his class.
There is also a group of people, either because they think Zhou Zhengan is good-looking or because they think he is good at conversation, they are all vying to take Zhou Zhengan's class. Before that, New University even had a fight among the students to become the most popular professor. The voting was announced in the forum, and the most popular professor was Zhou Zheng'an. Within a few days, the least popular professor was ranked, and Zhou Zheng'an was also ranked first.
