"Hello, uncle and aunt." Zhou Zheng'an greeted several people naturally. When his eyes glanced at Wang Qianning, Wang Qianning's face couldn't help but turn red. He was speechless for a long time following Song Yan.
Shen Li looked at his daughter, feeling confused. He couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhengan and asked, "Are you... a colleague of Nan Nan?"
Zhou Zhengan shook his head: "No."
"That is......"
"The relationship between me and her..." Zhou Zhengan slowly glanced at Jiang Nan. His eyes were profound but very calm: "It is decided by her."
Jiang Nan couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Zhou Zhengan.
Shen Li and others all heard the ambiguous meaning in these words. Shen Li secretly slapped his daughter with his hands and blamed her for hiding it from him.
Along the way, Shen Li asked all kinds of questions, almost destroying Zhou Zheng'an's family fortune. Fortunately, Zhou Zheng'an didn't feel impatient, and even responded to Shen Li's words in detail.
In this way, it was as if Jiang Nan and Zhou Zheng'an were really married, like a mother-in-law trying to find out the details of her son-in-law.
Jiang Nan was silent for a while, during which she couldn't help but interrupt Shen Li, but to no avail. Seeing that Zhou Zhengan had no objection, she stopped talking.
When Shen Li was sent to the hospital, Jiang Nan wanted to get out of the car with her, but Shen Li reached out to stop her and pushed her back to her original position. Then he got out of the car and closed the door. Looking at her like that, it was already right. Zhou Zhengan was completely satisfied. He smiled at the two of them through the car window and asked for his hands, then he rushed slowly to the inpatient department.
As soon as Shen Li left, the car was extremely quiet. Through the rearview mirror, Jiang Nan saw Zhou Zhengan's eyebrows in the driver's seat. They were dark and deep and cold. The smile he had just faced Shen Li had faded a lot, and he didn't either. He opened his mouth, not knowing what he was waiting for.
Is it because the air conditioner is turned on a little higher? Jiang Nan feels a little hot.
The weather outside was foggy, and the cars parked nearby were covered with a layer of mist. The wind seemed to be blowing, and the branches were swaying lightly.
"Let's go watch a movie together?" Zhou Zheng'an said suddenly, as if this was something he had thought about for a long time. Jiang Nan nodded lightly and said, "Okay."
Neither of them mentioned the fact that they were dating by mistake.
As Zhou Zhengan drove, Jiang Nan chose a movie on his phone. What jumped out at him was a literary romance film with the highest rating. Jiang Nan flipped through the pages until he saw a comedy, and then he raised his head and asked Zhou Zhengan what he meant. .
Zhou Zheng'an didn't say anything bad, he just said jokingly: "Others with a relationship like ours would probably consider a romance movie."
"What is our... relationship?" After Jiang Nan asked, he felt that his heartbeat seemed to be speeding up and he forgot about everything else.
"Maybe we can give us the answer after watching the movie." Zhou Zheng'an said.
Jiang Nan didn't speak anymore, but lowered his head and silently swiped the phone screen, sliding the screen back to the interface of the literary film.
The film chosen by Jiang Nan is quite famous. Li Yanzhi, who plays the heroine in the film, became famous because of this film. It is said that it tells the story of a frustrated female painter who traveled to a foreign country alone and met a racing driver on the way. The male protagonist, a series of stories about the collision of cold snowflakes and hot fireworks.
Oh, by the way, when the film crew went to a foreign country, Jiang Nan went as one of the translators accompanying the film. She had already seen the scenery in the film, but because of the film, the title was changed. Because of this, she only remembered it after the movie started playing.
Most of the audience for this movie are couples. When Jiang Nan and Zhou Zheng'an entered the venue holding movie tickets, the venue was almost full, and at first glance they were all young men and women.
They were in the middle of the fifth row, and the two of them sat in with their waists bent.
Compared to the other people who came to sit here, they seemed much plainer. The men and women around them were either leaning against each other, or hugging each other and whispering. Zhou Zhengan and Jiang Nan were separated by a fist. He didn't turn around to talk to the other person.
At first glance, it looks like a contrast between a couple in love and an old married couple.
Before the movie started, Jiang Nan felt a little bored and reached for the popcorn placed between the two of them. Her thoughts drifted away as the two figures in the front seat got closer and closer. Without paying attention, her hand almost crossed He reached the edge of the popcorn bucket and touched Zhou Zhengan's arm.
His sleeves were pulled up to his elbows, and half of his arms were exposed. They were a little cold, but Jiang Nan's fingers were warm. The moment the exposed skin touched, Jiang Nan pulled back as if he was electrocuted.
Under the dim light and shadow, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly. The heads of the couple in the front seat were already touching. The boy lowered his head, while the girl raised her head, kissing as if no one was watching.
Zhou Zhengan thought Jiang Nan's touch was calling him, so he turned to look at her. Jiang Nan lowered his head, and half of his face and earlobes were so red that they were bleeding.
"What's wrong?"
He seemed not to notice the atmosphere around him at all, nor could he see the wantonness in the front seat.
Jiang Nan shook her head gently. Before she could say anything, the big screen moved and the movie started. Zhou Zhengan's eyes naturally turned to it, and the conversation just now continued.
Slowly, Jiang Nan's attention was attracted by this movie. She had to say that the style of this movie was quite to her liking. Zhou Zhengan, on the other hand, seemed a little absent-minded. It seemed that he was not interested in this type of movie. He was not interested, but he actually sat here and patiently watched the movie with Jiang Nan.
They came out of the cinema. At this time, the sky was a little bright, and the sun's gleam was sparsely shining on the pedestrians.
This is the first time Jiang Nan has encountered such good weather since she returned to Beixin, and her mood has improved a lot.
Zhou Zhengan raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It happened to be four o'clock.
"Want to sit in a cafe?" Zhou Zhengan said.
Right next to them, there happens to be a nicely decorated cafe.
Jiang Nan glanced over: "Okay."
A lyrical cello music was playing in the cafe. A pair of good-looking men and women sat opposite each other by the window. They both had steaming coffee in front of them. Jiang Nan quietly lowered his head and stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon. .
"Jiang Nan."
Zhou Zhengan called her name. He leaned back on the sofa and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something that he was not very sure about.
Jiang Nan raised his head slightly and looked at him.
"Do you have an answer in your mind?" Zhou Zhengan asked her.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Nan asked uncertainly: "Do you... want to be with me?" Her voice was a little dull and low, and she didn't know what she was suppressing.
She looked calm on the outside, but Zhou Zhengan would never know how much she was sweating when she put her hands under the table, nor how fiercely she was conflicting in her heart.
"To be precise, I want to marry you." Zhou Zhengan's calm voice contained no emotion, as if this was not talking about his own lifelong event, but just a business matter.
Jiang Nan opened his eyes slightly, full of surprise.
Zhou Zhengan thought that he might have frightened the little girl, so he couldn't help but calm down his voice and said, "I'm a little abrupt. If anything makes you uncomfortable, you can even stand up and turn around and leave."
Jiang Nan did not move, but lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing whether he was looking at the vase on the table or the delicate stones under the vase.
"Let me explain my situation to you first. I am a person who puts all my thoughts on work and has no experience in relationships. I have no intention of putting my energy into this aspect. If it were not for the pressure from my family, If it were tight, I wouldn't even consider getting married, it would be troublesome.
I originally planned to keep in touch with you for a while, but I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. When I called you at noon today, I originally planned to talk about this matter. The time for my return has not yet been determined, and I don’t know whether we will be back in the future. If there is a chance to meet again, I think it would be better to just open it up.
At my age, I have no plans to fall in love vigorously, and my temperament is also dull. Our union may not be as joyful about love as other couples. "
After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Zhengan looked at Jiang Nan and said again: "I know everything I said is very unfair to you, so I hope you can think it over clearly. I respect all your choices."
Jiang Nan was silent for a while. The coffee on the table went cold, and then she raised her eyes to meet Zhou Zhengan's gaze. His eyes were as deep as the deep sea without any ripples.
Jiang Nan couldn't help but think that if the person sitting directly opposite her was Zhou Zheng'an, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, there would probably be a gentle smile in his eyes at this time.
"Why me?" Jiang Nan asked.
Why did he choose her to marry instead of another woman?
Zhou Zhengan said honestly: "Because you are suitable."
Jiang Nan Wenxiu's temperament is not easily disliked.
In other words, he happened to be of the age to get married, met the right woman, and then had the idea of getting married to her. If the blind date with him that day was not her, but another woman who was silent and talked little, he would Consider marrying someone else.
Jiang Nan curled her lips slightly, but could not see any joy.
"I'll tell you after I think about it." Jiang Nan said.
"You can think about it slowly."
"..."
As night gradually fell, Jiang Nan stood by the window of the old-fashioned house where she lived. The cool breeze blew through the screen window and blew onto her face. Jiang Nan seemed to be completely unaware and kept looking quietly at the building opposite. On the basketball court, my eyes were empty, as if I was thinking about other things.
Under the white street lights, several teenagers were running there, and the sound of their shoes scraping against the floor was particularly sharp.
When she was young, Jiang Nan made a wish, that is, she hoped that she could marry Zhou Zheng'an. This slightly ridiculous and childish wish has been with her throughout her youth. Until now, it seems that this wish can finally come true.
She didn't know how long she stood by the window and thought about it. The pointer on the wall slowly pointed to eleven o'clock. Jiang Nan finally made up her mind and took out her mobile phone and pressed the number.
"Hello?" After a few seconds, Zhou Zhengan's voice came, and the sound of people flipping through books came from his side. He was not asleep yet.
"Zhou Zheng'an, I have thought about it. I am willing to marry you." She said.
She told Zhou Zhengan that her family was also urging marriage, so she also needed a marriage partner.
A blind date, a meal, a movie, and they got married.
