Zhou Zheng'an nodded politely to the two elders. As for the person sitting at the dinner table, he would not pay any attention to him if no one else greeted him.
Shen Li said with a smile on his face: "Everyone sit down and eat. Dinner is ready."
It was just after five o'clock, and several people sat down at the dinner table.
"Xiao Zhou, do you want to drink?" Song Kuan took a bottle of Maotai from the cupboard. It seemed to be quite old. He was about to pour it for Zhou Zheng'an as he spoke.
Before Zhou Zhengan could speak, Jiang Nan spoke first: "Uncle, he has to drive for a while, maybe next time."
Song Kuan's smile froze on his face and he said "Okay." Just as he was about to take back the bottle, Zhou Zheng'an said: "It's okay, uncle, I'll have a drink with you."
Jiang Nan looked at him hesitantly, and Zhou Zhengan curled his lips slightly at her, and said in a lighter voice: "You can find a driver, don't worry."
After all, it was his first time here, so Zhou Zhengan gave Song Kuan face.
Song Kuan's eyes turned into slits as he smiled, opened the wine and poured it into Zhou Zheng'an's cup.
Before he even moved his chopsticks, Song Kuan raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, Xiao Zhou, let's have a drink."
Zhou Zhengan raised his cup and touched it slightly with him. Song Kuan drank it all in one gulp, and Zhou Zhengan followed him.
The wine was very spicy, and Zhou Zhengan frowned subconsciously, but his eyebrows quickly relaxed and returned to normal.
Jiang Nan silently handed him a glass of water.
Song Yan suddenly laughed, a small sound.
Jiang Nan heard it since she was close, but she pretended not to hear it.
When the meal was almost finished, Song Kuan took Zhou Zhengan to sit at the dinner table and chat.
I have to say that Zhou Zhengan is very good at dealing with elders. Although he doesn't say much, seeing Song Kuan's smiling face, you know that every answer he gives satisfies Song Kuan.
Shen Li took advantage of this opportunity and pulled Jiang Nan to the balcony. The balcony door was closed, isolating them from the outside.
Shen Li looked inside and saw that no one was paying attention, so she dared to say, "Has your father been looking for you again these days?"
Jiang Nan shook his head to reassure her.
Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned fiercely for a moment: "You must not let Zhou Zhengan know about this matter. You two are not really married yet. If he knows about this matter, he will not want it." is you.
At least, you have to hide it until after marriage, did you hear me? "
Jiang Nan frowned slightly and said softly: "Mom, do you think Zhou Zhengan and Uncle Song are the same person?"
Hearing this, Shen Li was startled, looked at his daughter with a sneer and said: "Otherwise? Do you think he really loves you? Nannan, you have seen half of my life, do you think there is really something in the sky?" I'll step on the trap that I've fallen for you. Do you have any magic power? Can you make a man fall in love with you wholeheartedly?"
Her words were so cold that Jiang Nan remained silent for a moment.
Sometimes she wonders whether her life will be like her mother's, living a sparse life, but this seems to be the life of an ordinary person.
"Did your dad say anything to you?" Shen Li asked her.
Jiang Nan didn't say anything. He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to his mother.
"Did he give you money?" Shen Li took it and laughed: "Yes, he owes you a lot over the years. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Both of us owe our hard days to him. "
"Mom, I'll go in first." Jiang Nan really felt a little depressed and wanted to leave here.
"Hey." Shen Li grabbed her and wanted to return the card to her: "Take this money, don't spend it randomly, use it after you have it."
Jiang Nan shook his head: "You can take it, I don't need it, this is your grudge against him.
Besides, if you have some money, you can feel more secure in front of Uncle Song. "
Jiang Nan glanced at Shen Li, opened the door and walked in.
Shen Li was still standing on the balcony, not knowing what he was thinking.
The room was still lively, and Song Kuan was very loud and noisy after drinking.
Jiang Nan walked over and sat down beside Zhou Zhengan without saying a word. She did not get in between them, but just sat quietly.
Like a well-behaved rabbit, Zhou Zhengan thought to himself.
Zhou Zhengan looked sideways at her. Jiang Nan's eyes were red, showing a lot of fatigue.
"Uncle, that's it for today." Zhou Zheng'an said.
"No, what time is it this time?" Song Kuanyi said without saying anything. Zhou Zhengan didn't say anything, but the faint emotion in his eyes already revealed his thoughts.
Song Kuan is a good person, how can he force someone to stay with him? He hurriedly said: "Okay, okay."
He drank all the wine in one gulp.
Shen Li also walked in at some point. Seeing him like this, he knew that he had drank a lot, so he couldn't help but advise: "Drink less, don't get really drunk."
Song Kuan was still smiling and didn't reply to her.
The clock on the wall read eight.
Jiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, she finally didn't have to stay here anymore.
They walked outside together, and Song Kuan called out "Shen Li." and asked her to see them off together.
Song Yan sat on the sofa and played with her phone, as if she didn't see them.
Song Kuan had always doted on his son, so he would naturally leave him alone.
The four of them walked downstairs together. Zhou Zhengan stopped and turned around and said, "Uncle and aunt, please go back. It's too cold, so don't send her away."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhou, the next time we meet is probably when the in-laws have dinner together. You don't have to be polite to us, you can come and play anytime." Song Kuan said.
Zhou Zhengan had a polite smile on his face: "Yes."
"Let's go." He turned sideways and said to Jiang Nan, who had been in a daze.
Jiang Nan nodded and walked towards the road with him.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Nan suddenly stopped and turned around.
Zhou Zhengan stopped with her and waited for her quietly.
Jiang Nan saw that Song Kuan had turned around and left, but Shen Li was still standing there looking at her.
Touching her gaze, Shen Li opened a smile and raised his hand at her. It was the purest love without any adulteration.
Jiang Nan suddenly felt that his eyes were wet and hot, and he subconsciously turned his head and walked forward.
She and Zhou Zhengan walked in silence, but this time Jiang Nan walked in the front.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Zheng'an called to Jiang Nan, who had been walking forward with his head lowered.
Jiang Nan turned around, a little confused.
She saw Zhou Zheng'an walking up to an old man selling candied haws on the roadside. He said a few words to the grandfather, paid the money, and came back with a candied haws.
Zhou Zhengan handed the candied haws to her: "Try it."
Jiang Nan's eyes were dazed, and he subconsciously took it. The thin wooden stick seemed to have a different feeling in his hand.
Zhou Zhengan had a rare faint smile on his lips and explained to her: "That old grandpa, do you remember? He used to set up a stall in front of our school. At that time, when the sports day came, the fence of the playground Then there were people crowding around to buy candied haws. Everyone gave him money, and he handed the candied haws through the inside."
When Jiang Nan heard this, she glanced at the old man. Unfortunately, the old man had already walked down the intersection with his things. She only had time to see his back, not his face.
But she did remember this character being around when they were in school.
At that time, Gu Shengwei had just finished running 800 meters and was sitting on the grass to rest. Zhou Zhengan bought a bunch of candied haws like this and sent it to her. She was standing far away from them at that time, but she somehow saw it at a glance.
Zhou Zhengan and his friends sat casually next to Gu Shengwei. The big boys were there, very conspicuous, and they didn't know what they were talking about, which made Gu Shengwei very happy.
Jiang Nan lowered her head and stuffed a big mouthful into her mouth. The sweet and crispy shell was bitten into pieces. Jiang Nan did not feel the expected sourness, but it was completely sweet.
Jiang Nan raised his eyes and was a little surprised. What was wrapped inside was actually a strawberry.
Seeing her reaction, Zhou Zhengan couldn't help but curled his lips and said, "Let's go home."
Jiang Nan looked up at him and saw a bottomless smile in his eyes.
The cool breeze blew slowly, and she seemed not to feel it anymore.
The next second, Jiang Nan lowered his head and said with some frustration: "I'll have to dream again tonight."
"What?" Zhou Zhengan keenly captured what she said.
Jiang Nan bit her lip in confusion, but was embarrassed to say it out loud, so she could only reply vaguely: "I just... always dream."
Her ears were red and her head was lowered, obviously looking ashamed.
Zhou Zheng'an raised his eyebrows and found out something. He asked lazily: "Did you also have a dream the night before?"
Jiang Nan looked up at him, nodded with a blushing face, and did not dare to look at him again.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Zhengan understood everything and couldn't help but let out a "ha".
"Jiang Nan." He called her.
"Huh?" Jiang Nan replied very quietly.
"Look up at me." Zhou Zhengan's voice was indifferent.
Jiang Nan sighed deeply in his heart, raised his head and looked at Zhou Zhengan with the mentality of dying.
The two looked at each other quietly for a few seconds.
Jiang Nan was thinking about something and didn't pay much attention. He was still explaining in his mouth: "Maybe I just like to dream, but I..."
All her subsequent words were swallowed back into her mouth.
Jiang Nan's eyes widened and his whole body froze.
Zhou Zhengan bent down and kissed her, tenderly and lingeringly. The kiss gradually deepened, and the tingling feeling flowed into Jiang Nan's heart. She found that everything was almost exactly the same as the dream that night.
Jiang Nan's head was empty.
Within a few seconds, Zhou Zhengan stopped and slowly pulled away. He stopped just ten centimeters away from her and asked her in a low voice: "Do you think it was like the dream you had just now?"
Jiang Nan smelled a very faint smell of alcohol from him, which was not unpleasant.
She blinked and finally came back to her senses. She looked at Zhou Zheng'an blankly and said, "Are you drunk?"
Her silly look reflected in Zhou Zhengan's Mo Che's eyes.
...
"What is this? This is already the first business that has been robbed. Is there any mistake?" Xu Pingsheng threw his phone on the table, very angry.
