In the morning, Jiang Nan was awakened by the sound of playing. When she opened her eyes, the sound of men and women giggling outside the window continued. It was already very bright.
She slept a little late last night and seemed to wake up a little late.
Jiang Nan got up, washed up, changed into clean and simple clothes, and walked out of the bedroom. There was no one outside the bedroom. The door of Zhou Zhengan's room next door was wide open, and the quilts and pillows were neatly arranged.
The person is not there.
The curtains on the balcony of the living room were opened. At this moment, there was only a transparent screen door, and Jiang Nan could see the scene outside.
Zhou Zhengan sat on the steps with his back to her, Shen Qingfeng stood beside him and chatted with him, Jiang Youan and Gu Shengwei in sportswear were playing badminton in front of them.
Jiang Nan glanced at the time on the clock, it was eight o'clock.
They seemed to have gotten up early. Jiang Nan felt a little embarrassed and walked over and opened the screen door.
"Sister-in-law, are you up?" Jiang Youan waved to her with a badminton racket, not forgetting to catch the ball.
Jiang Nan smiled shyly at him. She lowered her head. Zhou Zhengan, who was sitting on the steps, turned his head at some point and was looking at her.
Shen Qingfeng had already walked over and joined the badminton team.
Zhou Zhengan just glanced at it and turned his head, picked up the mineral water next to him, opened it and took a sip.
Jiang Nan sat down ten centimeters away from him. Not long after he sat down, Zhou Zhengan handed her a new bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you." Jiang Nan took it and held it in his hand before drinking.
Zhou Zhengan looked at the three people playing in front of him with a calm expression, but he had no intention of joining in.
His elbows were casually supported on the step above, and his body was leaning crookedly, leaning towards Jiang Nan. The next moment, there was some friction with the fabric on Jiang Nan's shoulders.
The two people touched each other on the shoulders, and Jiang Nan's body instantly became very stiff. She stiffened her head and turned to look at Zhou Zhengan. Zhou Zhengan didn't seem to notice, and was still watching them playing badminton.
Jiang Nan wanted to be next to him like this, so she didn't dare to move.
"Let's go have breakfast." Shen Qingfeng called and waved to them.
"Isn't my brother still with Jinyue?" Jiang Youan stopped what he was doing.
"Don't worry, your brother Ning Yuan will not wrong you." Shen Qingfeng said to him jokingly.
Gu Shengwei also curled his lips with unknown meaning, put the racquet on the lawn next to him, and walked towards the restaurant first: "Let's go, I'm already hungry."
Suddenly everyone started to move.
Zhou Zhengan stood up, and Jiang Nan felt that the power around her disappeared. She felt a little sad, and she also stood up, and they walked that way together.
...
It wasn't until after breakfast that everyone saw Jiang Ningyuan and Su Jinyue. The two walked towards the restaurant one after another. Su Jinyue had a bright smile on her face and waved at them from a distance. Wave.
But she and Jiang Ningyuan didn't look good.
Jiang Ningyuan followed her, and the two of them didn't seem to be familiar with each other.
This is the first time Jiang Nan has seen Su Jinyue. She is very beautiful and good at dressing up.
Because this strange woman whom she had never met invited her to participate in the show she organized, Jiang Nan became more curious and appreciative of her.
Su Jinyue obviously noticed her. When Su Jinyue faced her, her smile deepened. Her curiosity was all in her eyes. Her tone was quite meaningful: "Are you Zhou Zhengan's wife? It's really a bit strange." Same thing."
There was no malice in it.
Jiang Ningyuan found an empty seat and sat down. He got himself some soft bread from the table, tore a piece off and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What's the difference?" Jiang Youan asked curiously.
Su Jinyue curled her lips: "It's just different, but how different it is, I'm afraid only Zhou Zheng'an knows, right?" She said and glanced at Zhou Zheng'an, and that look was a little emotional.
Zhou Zhengan slowly held the fork and played with the things on the plate. At this moment, the movements in his hands paused, but there was not much reaction.
"It seems that we are really getting older. Marriage seemed far away from us before. We only talked about it as a joke. Now it has become a reality. I didn't expect that the most indifferent person in the past was actually the first one among us to get married. of."
Someone next to him sneered, and Shen Qingfeng mocked: "Do you think Zheng An wants to get married? It wasn't forced by his mother at home. He is not as free as us. Most of his family members are abroad and can't control us. Otherwise, he would definitely be like us." The last to get married among the few."
Zhou Zhengan's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, and he did not raise his head.
Jiang Nan seemed to be as nonchalant as him, but the movements of her hands were much lighter, and the sound of the plate and fork being rubbed was much lighter.
It seemed that she didn't want others to pay attention to her at this moment.
Women's thoughts are more delicate, and men don't think anything of it, but in the eyes of women, they can always detect the rudeness more keenly.
Gu Shengwei looked calm and composed, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Su Jinyue smiled softly: "Maybe."
"Would you like to pick oranges together later? There are so many sugar oranges in the garden on the hillside in the backyard." Jiang Youan said.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little interested. After all, they are all people who spend a lot of time in the city, and this kind of leisurely extracurricular activities is the most attractive.
Gu Shengwei raised his hand and said, "I won't go, as you know."
"Then I'll stay here and do other things with you." Shen Qingfeng said, then she didn't want to go.
Jiang Nan swallowed back what she was about to say. Rather than staying with the two of them, it would be better for her to pick oranges.
The group of them walked towards the backyard of the villa. Along the way, the only sounds were Su Jinyue and Jiang Youan talking.
Jiang Ningyuan, he was really weird today. He unexpectedly spoke less. If we talk about the relationship between him and Su Jinyue, it would be even weirder. The atmosphere between the two is very strange.
It's that kind of feeling that seems very unfamiliar, but the atmosphere revealed is that we are familiar with it.
The garden was surrounded by an iron fence. When they got there, an aunt handed them baskets. Each of them carried one in her hand. The size was only as big as the palm of two hands.
Compared with Zhou Zhengan and Jiang Nan, Su Jinyue and Jiang Youan were obviously more interested in picking oranges, so they took the basket and entered the garden happily.
Although Jiang Ningyuan was holding a basket in his hand, he was swaying back and forth. It didn't look like it was used to hold oranges. He followed Su Jinyue and Jiang Youan forward, leaving only Zhou Zhengan and Jiang Nan at the back. Walk slowly and leisurely.
There seem to be quite a lot of orange trees here, but they are all a bit small. They are the smallest type of sugar oranges.
I don’t know if it’s sweet or not.
When Jiang Nan reached the halfway point, she stopped and looked down the mountain. There were no trees in front of where she was standing, and she had an unobstructed view of the scenery down the mountain.
It's just that the fog is a bit thick, and all the houses seem to be surrounded by the fog, and they seem to be above the clouds.
Zhou Zhengan noticed that she stopped and paused. He followed Jiang Nan's line of sight and looked down.
"It's so beautiful here." Jiang Nan said softly.
Such a tranquil scenery often makes it easier for a person to calm down and let go of all bad things.
Zhou Zhengan said nothing, his eyes were calm and far-reaching, looking into the distance.
The two stood in silence for a while.
It wasn't until the cold wind made my hands stiff that I continued walking deeper into the garden.
Neither of them had much interest in picking oranges. After more than half an hour, each person's basket only had six or seven small oranges, and the basket was not half filled.
On the contrary, Jiang Youan and Su Jinyue picked up a full basket. As if it wasn't enough, they also borrowed Jiang Ningyuan's basket and filled it half full with their mouths still stuffed.
"Hey, if this is a hot spring villa, there should be a hot spring, right?" Su Jinyue's hands were also very cold.
Jiang Youan immediately replied: "Of course there is. There is a huge hot spring on the third floor, and the fourth floor is full of cubicles. You can go wherever you want."
"That's great, let's go." Su Jinyue clapped her hands happily, and all the oranges in the basket were shaken out and fell to the ground.
The orange rolled to Jiang Nan's feet, and Jiang Nan knelt down to pick it up.
When Su Jinyue saw it, she hurriedly waved and said, "Jiang Nan, please try it quickly. My basket contains the sweetest ones."
Jiang Nan held it in her hand without moving. Just as she was about to speak, Su Jinyue stuffed another full basket into her arms. She picked up another basket and turned around to skip away with Jiang Youan.
She had to swallow her words.
Jiang Ningyuan sneered beside her: "Good boy, I'm going to steal a woman from your brother."
"..."
"Are you going to take a hot spring bath?" Jiang Ningyuan turned around and asked them.
Zhou Zhengan shook his head and said, "It's better to go back and take a hot bath."
Walking up the hillside, it was dingy. It was time to go back and change clothes. Bathing in hot springs can make people sweat all over, and the smell of steam is not very pleasant to Zhou Zhengan.
"I understand, I've made a bad mistake." Jiang Ning summed it up in one sentence.
He looked at Jiang Nan again, and Jiang Nan also shook her head. She didn't bring any clothes for hot spring bathing, so forget it.
"Then I'll go first, it's freezing." Jiang Ningyuan lazily raised his hand and walked in the direction Jiang Youan and the others had just walked.
Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhengan returned the same way.
She was in trouble because of the large basket of oranges that Su Jinyue had just brought to her. She turned around and asked Zhou Zhengan: "What should I do with these oranges? Do you want to give them to Miss Gu and the others to try?"
Zhou Zhengan glanced at the big basket in her hand and said calmly: "Gu Shengwei doesn't like oranges, and Shen Qingfeng is probably tired of them. You should keep them for yourself."
As he spoke, he lifted the heavy basket from Jiang Nan's hand into his own and walked ahead.
Jiang Nan unknowingly stayed where she was, looking at Zhou Zhengan's back with dim eyes.
Zhou Zhengan knew that Gu Shengwei couldn't eat oranges, but he didn't know that she couldn't eat them either.
This basket of oranges seems a bit difficult to handle.
It's probably going to be wasted.
Jiang Nan felt astringent in her heart, just like the orange peel. If it accidentally got into her eyes, tears would easily come out.
