Fortunately, Zhou Zhengan didn't care. He walked past her to the stage, put his hands on the shelf, and didn't take the painting book over. He said: "It's okay, just look at it. It's a bit lonely if there is no one to enjoy it with me." ”
The night was particularly good that night, and the moonlight shone on the young man's handsome profile, as if the stars were being sucked into his eyes.
This was the first time Zhou Zhengan talked to her since Jiang Nan's secret love began. Jiang Nan didn't know how fast her heart was beating. She forgot about her reaction and just held the hand of the drawing book tighter and tighter, just like this It's like his soul is in the painting book.
At that time, most boys liked sports and had little interest in studying or these literary and artistic things. But Zhou Zhengan was different from them. Jiang Nan often saw him standing on the edge of the rooftop with a sketchbook, especially during evening self-study.
He is not afraid of loneliness and enjoys it.
The location of Beixin No. 1 Middle School is somewhat away from the city center. The school is famous for providing a quiet environment for students to study. The school floors are also built very high. In the summer, the stars at night are particularly beautiful. Basically, Zhou Zhengan’s sketch book All stars.
He also used some beautiful lines to connect the stars together into different shapes. Jiang Nan couldn't believe that this was done by a boy.
Ren Xianzhi drove Jiang Nan to the main gate of the institute. This was Jiang Nan's first time here. She had always thought that Zhou Zhengan only worked at Xinda, but she did not expect that the institute was his main place of work.
Jiang Nan stood at the door for a while, and soon saw Zhou Zhengan's figure. He hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, still wearing a white coat and glasses.
He really looks like a doctor, Jiang Nan thought to himself.
Jiang Nan handed him the thermos box: "The dumplings I brought for you."
Zhou Zhengan took it and said to her: "Go in and take a look?"
Jiang Nan was startled and hesitated: "Can I go in? Will it disturb your work?"
Zhou Zhengan glanced at the security guard who was guarding the door and looked towards them from time to time. He curved his lips and said, "Strangers are not allowed in, but family members are allowed." After saying that, he lowered his head and gently held Jiang Nan's wrist, leading her with him. Head inside.
The security guard at the door seemed to have guessed the identities of the two people, and waved to Zhou Zhengan, without letting her go to register. Zhou Zhengan smiled slightly and nodded towards the man.
The institute is quite large. There are many astronomical ornaments placed along the middle aisle, as well as some national-level commendations and certificates. Jiang Nan glanced at them hastily, but she couldn't understand the professional terminology above.
Zhou Zhengan's workplace was on the second floor of the building on the left. It was already this time, and the lights in several buildings were still on. Jiang Nan felt how hard their job was.
No one else was allowed to enter that floor. Jiang Nan could only stand outside the building and take a look at it from a distance. It was a pity. She really wanted to see what Zhou Zhengan's place of work was like.
The two stood outside the building for a while, and then someone came out of the building.
A very young man wearing glasses.
"Zheng'an." The man waved to Zhou Zheng'an from a distance, and then his eyes tightened, staring at the young woman whose wrist was held by Zhou Zheng'an, with curious light in his eyes.
Zhou Zhengan took the initiative to introduce the two of them to each other: "My wife Jiang Nan, and my colleague Zhao Yuan."
Zhao Yuan is the old Zhao that Zhou Zhengan mentioned to Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan also remembered the name in an instant, and nodded to Zhao Yuan with slightly curved lips to show courtesy. Zhao Yuan gave her a meaningful look: "She is my wife. I have admired her for a long time."
Last time Zhou Zhengan received a call from Jiang Nan at the institute, he was stripped naked by these "detectives" in the institute. Now all the people in the institute want to meet this legendary figure.
Zhao Yuan originally thought that Zhou Zheng'an's wife would be cheerful and lively or as aloof and clear-faced as him, but now looking at Jiang Nan, it seems that she is neither of the two.
He couldn't help but become more curious about Jiang Nan. What kind of person could make Zhou Zhengan have a flash marriage?
But his thoughts were always a little more profound than reality.
Jiang Nan was very uncomfortable with Zhao Yuan's gaze. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhou Zhengan and ask him for help.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Zhengan asked Zhao Yuan.
"Oh, let's go buy some food. I'm so tired after working for so long." Zhao Yuan stretched his waist as he spoke and yawned: "After all, I don't have a wife to bring me food."
Jiang Nan looked a little shy when he heard this.
"By the way, Comrade Xiao Jiang, then." Zhao Yuan pointed to the building behind them towards Jiang Nan and continued: "There are many scientific toys in that building. Let Zheng An take you to play. The things here are much fresher than those in the Science and Technology Museum.”
He winked at Jiang Nan mysteriously, then waved and left.
Jiang Nan looked curiously at the place he pointed at, and Zhou Zhengan glanced at her lightly: "Want to go?"
Jiang Nan withdrew her gaze, shook her head quickly and said, "You go ahead and eat, don't worry about me, otherwise the dumplings will become lumpy and won't taste good after a while." The look in her eyes just now was clearly full of curiosity and yearning.
Zhou Zhengan said: "It's up to you."
In Zhou Zheng'an's thinking, he rarely delved into other people's true thoughts, and he was too lazy to pay too much attention. Just like at this moment, he clearly knew that Jiang Nan wanted to go, but she shook her head, and he would no longer pay attention.
Jiang Nan gave him a flat look.
Zhou Zhengan took Jiang Nan to the top floor room on another floor. This room was unused. Except for an old astronomical telescope on the balcony, there were only some free tables and chairs in the room.
It's quiet and empty here, which is pretty good.
Zhou Zhengan sat down to eat. He was actually not too hungry. To be precise, he had become accustomed to this state over the years. However, when Jiang Nan kindly came to give him food, Zhou Zhengan still ate it to save face.
Jiang Nan walked around and saw a few scattered drawings on the table with some symbols she couldn't understand.
She guessed that this was probably left by Zhou Zheng'an. She identified some star symbols in it, which she had seen in Zhou Zheng'an's painting books before.
When he records these things, he likes to bolden some traces in the corners, which can be clearly seen.
"Zhou Zheng'an." Jiang Nan suddenly called his name.
Zhou Zhengan looked up at her.
"Is this the star map you drew?" She picked up one of the drawings and showed it to him.
"Do you understand this?" Zhou Zhengan smiled.
He must have forgotten that he once asked her to see the star map he drew himself.
Jiang Nan looked away: "I've seen it elsewhere."
"Can I use that telescope?" She pointed to the things on the balcony. Zhou Zhengan followed her movements and looked over, quickly nodding: "Okay."
He immediately stood up and walked to the astronomical telescope, opened the cover of the telescope, wiped the telescope carefully with a dry rag on the table, and then opened the cover of the telescope and adjusted it over and over again.
Jiang Nan walked next to him and watched him play with it. Zhou Zhengan's expression was focused, his eyes were calm and far-reaching, and he didn't notice anything else. This was his unique state when facing something he liked.
That was the way she liked him the most. Jiang Nan was in a daze when she heard Zhou Zhengan say: "I'm lucky tonight. The moon and stars are not covered by clouds."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Nan looked at the sky. The moon in the sky was shrouded in a layer of white mist, making it look a bit more mysterious. There weren't many stars, but they were very bright. Fog layer.
"Try it." Zhou Zheng looked at her and signaled.
Jiang Nan walked over and put her face close to her. Zhou Zhengan adjusted the height of the telescope for her. Jiang Nan's vision suddenly brightened. The sky was magnified many times. She felt that the moon and stars were right in front of her eyes. The distance between them was so close that she could see the stars twinkling one after another, so clearly, like a living oil painting.
Due to the layer of mist, all the colors are lighter, but it has a more cold meaning, making people feel unapproachable.
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment. She had never observed the sky from such a perspective. She didn't know that its beauty would be like this when it was magnified so many times.
She couldn't help but be curious, this is what happens in winter, but what about summer, spring, and autumn?
"How's it going?" came Zhou Zheng'an's voice.
Jiang Nan turned to look at him with a smile in his eyes: "Great."
Perhaps he was infected by her, Zhou Zhengan also smiled. He raised his head and glanced at the sky: "Unfortunately, the moon now is not the most beautiful. I will take you to see it again when I have the opportunity."
His eyes were looking at the sky quietly, and the smile in his eyes had not completely dissipated. He did not see Jiang Nan's eyes looking at him.
That kind of longing, hopeful, and regretful, fleeting look.
Jiang Nan wanted to tell him that she had actually seen the best moon in the world, the most beautiful one.
During the vacation when Jiang Nan was in college, he followed a mountain climbing team to spend the night on the top of the mountain to watch the moon. The night view there was very beautiful, and the sky was brightened, as if someone had lit a lamp on the stars. Everything was filled with the unique tenderness of the south. , the warm wind blowing from the top of the mountain in summer makes people immersed in it.
The moon is therefore warm and bright.
At that time, the leader of their mountain climbing group once lamented to her, saying that this was the most beautiful moon he had ever seen, and it made people feel warm and like they were at home.
Jiang Nan just smiled at that time. She unconsciously thought of Zhou Zheng'an's cold and handsome face. She actually did not agree with what the team leader said.
The moon, of course, is the most beautiful when it hangs coldly in the sky.
Most people in the world like hot and warm things, but that is the characteristic of the sun, not the moon. She prefers the cold moon. This is the characteristic of the moon, and it will not change for anything.
It's a pity that the moon she likes is too far away from her, farther than any other moon. Her speed is too slow, and she doesn't know if she has enough strength left to catch up.
