Jiang Nan's eyes were dark, and he seemed to have been thinking for a long time before continuing: "But I really made up my mind on the day my father died."
Zhou Zhengan frowned and raised his head. There were many emotions in his eyes when he looked at her, and he couldn't tell which one was the main one.
"I have never told you that I have a very bad father. He is addicted to drinking and gambling, which has brought me very bad memories. Because of these very bad things, I have been living in a haze. Not in the real direction." Jiang Nan explained calmly.
"He was hit by a car and died a few days ago. I suddenly understood..." Jiang Nan looked at Zhou Zheng'an with piercing eyes: "I want to love and be loved. I want to start life again. This new life The longing took root in my heart and grew stronger and stronger.”
"Zhou Zheng'an, as long as you show a little joy to me, Li Yanzhi will not be able to pursue you so blatantly, because she knows that the gap between us is huge and she can easily get in."
Zhou Zhengan said silently.
"I know it's not your fault, because you have told me the rules of our marriage from the very beginning, and it was me who overstepped the rules. Didn't you tell me before that you would tell you as soon as I wanted a divorce? Now I tell you, I want a divorce." Jiang Nan said slowly.
The living room was quiet except for the sound of the clock on the wall turning moment by moment, frame by frame, as if beating the listener's heart.
After a while, Zhou Zheng'an spoke out. His voice was very deep, like the bottomless water in a well: "Jiang Nan, you might as well guess why I showed up at Malegana's jewelry store?"
Jiang Nan was startled. Malegana was the place where he and Li Yanzhi were secretly photographed. She had seen this name in media reports.
Jiang Nan really hasn't thought about this issue carefully, but it is no longer important to her.
"I don't want to know." She lowered her head and said softly.
Zhou Zhengan nodded calmly, his expression returned to normal, showing no emotion at all, and then he bent over and signed his name on the divorce agreement.
The sound of paper and pen rubbing against each other seemed a bit harsh at this moment.
After Zhou Zhengan finished signing, he casually put down his pen, stood up and walked towards the door.
Jiang Nan stood up as he stood up.
Zhou Zhengan put his hand on the door handle and did not rush to open the door. He paused for a moment and spoke with his back to her, his voice as calm and deep as ever: "You have been prepared to escape unscathed, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to escape." I will always be unwilling to hold a wedding and hide your true relationship with me from your family."
"I'm sorry that you experienced a bad marriage."
"See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning." He said these last words, opened the door and walked out.
The sound of the door closing was neither soft nor heavy, but it seemed to hit Jiang Nan's heart, causing some pain.
She was the only one left in this huge room at this time.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Jiang Nan got into Xu Pingsheng's car carrying a large suitcase.
Even though winter has passed, Beixin is still a bit cool at night, and it’s very cool.
The car window was half open, and the cold wind made Jiang Nan's face stiffen, but she still didn't close the window.
There were bright lights outside the window, but there was no one on the road.
Xu Pingsheng glanced at her through the rearview mirror. Seeing that she looked lackluster, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sad?"
He only found out that Jiang Nan was married a few days ago when Jiang Nan asked him to help find a lawyer. Xu Pingsheng was almost surprised to death, especially when he found out that Jiang Nan had a flash marriage.
A girl who usually looks pretty steady turns out to be a big love brain.
Seeing her like this now, Xu Pingsheng felt distressed and angry.
Jiang Nan just kicked this man out in the middle of the night? Could it be that Jiang Nan has nothing to rely on and can be bullied at will?
When Xu Pingsheng really meets someone, he will definitely give that man a good beating.
"Yeah." Jiang Nan's voice was calm, without denying it.
"Hmph, you tell me that you don't cherish yourself at all. Where are you going to stay at this late hour? If I weren't here, who would be able to help you? Is it possible that you can go to your stepfather's house?
Logically speaking, you should think more about yourself. How dangerous it is for a little girl to be alone. If he doesn't care about you, why can't you care about yourself? "Xu Pingsheng became angrier as he spoke, and his voice became louder unconsciously.
Jiang Nan leaned on the back of the car seat and said, "You are so verbose."
Xu Pingsheng glared at her through the rearview mirror and finally said no more.
This girl's elbows are turned outwards, and she can't tell the difference between good and bad.
After finally calming down, Jiang Nan tilted her head and leaned on the seat and looked out the window. Her thoughts seemed to have drifted far away, and she recalled what happened when she was in school.
Ever since she got lost during military training and was carried back by Zhou Zheng'an, Jiang Nan always thought of Zhou Zheng'an, but at that time she didn't know Zhou Zheng'an's name, nor did she know which grade or class he was in.
She just wanted to see this boy again and tell him her gratitude in person.
However, the name Zhou Zheng'an has always been quite famous in their junior high school. Jiang Nan knew that there was a god named Zhou Zheng'an in class two and three of high school, but she didn't know that Zhou Zheng'an was the one who saved her.
Until one day, she and Zhou Zhixu were sitting on chairs outside the school's canteen to enjoy the cool air. They had just finished physical education class that day, their faces were red from the sun, and their whole bodies felt hot.
Jiang Nan rested her chin on her hands to cool herself out of boredom. Zhou Zhixu's voice came to her ears, and she was talking to herself about the newly overheard gossip.
People were coming and going in the canteen. Jiang Nan looked at the people coming in and out, not knowing how much he had absorbed Zhou Zhixu's gossip.
Several boys suddenly came from the teaching building. They all looked good and attracted the attention of the girls in the lower grades.
Jiang Nan also looked over with those gazes, and then saw Zhou Zhengan.
Zhou Zhengan had a cold face and walked toward her casually. Everyone around him was laughing, but he seemed to be the only one who seemed not to notice what was going on outside the window.
Jiang Nan suddenly became excited and patted Zhou Zhixu. He wanted to let her know that she had finally met the boy who saved him, but Zhou Zhixu looked over and shouted "Brother".
Jiang Nan forgot to react and was a little stunned.
A shadow fell behind her, and someone stopped behind her, and then she heard the senior boy's voice, which had long since changed to a calmer voice, exactly the same as the voice under the heavy rain that night.
"Brother, I want a Coke." Zhou Zhixu said hurriedly, fearing that Zhou Zheng'an would ignore her and leave. Zhou Zheng'an looked pale and did not speak. Zhou Zhixu said again: "Two bottles." She pointed at Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan tensed up his body instantly, as if he felt the gaze falling from behind him, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Then she heard the boy's voice. He shouted in the direction of the canteen: "Qian Sun, two bottles of Coke."
Jiang Nan was still a little uncomfortable when she saw Zhou Zhixu pat her arm and said excitedly: "Hey Nannan, do you still remember that it was my brother who carried you back during the military training? You cried at that time There was a lot of noise, and his clothes were covered with either rainwater or your snot and tears. I was so amused at the time."
Zhou Zhixu didn't notice anything unusual about her and said happily.
After Jiang Nan was sent back to the tent that night, she was taken to the school doctor for examination. Naturally, she didn't hear the conversation between Zhou Zhixu and Zhou Zhengan when he arrived later, and she didn't know that they were actually brother and sister.
Jiang Nan felt blushing and extremely embarrassed after listening to her words.
There was no sound behind him, and Jiang Nan didn't know what Zhou Zhengan's expression was.
She couldn't help but turn her head and look up behind her.
Behind the boy was the warm sunshine, reflecting a bright yellow color. He was only wearing a white undershirt under his school uniform, and he looked cold, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
But at this moment he was looking at her.
Jiang Nan met his gaze, and her heart suddenly jumped uncontrollably.
Her eyes were evasive and timid.
Zhou Zhengan's lips curled up slightly, and he said exactly the same words as he did more than ten years later: "You don't recognize me, do you?"
Jiang Nan was afraid that he would misunderstand her as an ungrateful person, so she hurriedly said: "No!", and she stammered.
Zhou Zhengan's smile deepened a little, but his eyes looked elsewhere. He put one hand on his waist and seemed not to care about Jiang Nan's words.
Jiang Nan's heart tightened. She just summoned up the courage to say thank you to him, but was interrupted again.
The boy named Qian Sun placed two bottles of Coke heavily on the table and joked: "Here we go."
"Xiao Zhixu, your second brother is pretty good, right?"
Zhou Zhixu took one of the bottles and said with a sweet smile: "Yes, better than big brother." As she said this, she deliberately glanced at Zhou Zhengan.
Jiang Nan thought to himself, that's not the case. Didn't your eldest brother ask your second brother to help you buy your drink?
Zhou Zhengan said "ha", turned around and walked towards the basketball court. Qian Sun and the two little girls sitting there waved their hands and chased after him.
Jiang Nan just looked at Zhou Zhengan's back and left her step by step.
She still couldn't express her gratitude in person.
Later, Jiang Nan learned a lot from Zhou Zhixu. She learned that her brother was Zhou Zhengan, that he had good grades, and that he had a rumored girlfriend named Gu Shengwei.
From the moment Jiang Nan's secret love began, the name Gu Shengwei seemed to be tied to Zhou Zhengan.
You can see them together everywhere, and you can hear rumors about them everywhere.
But at that time, Jiang Nan didn't think much about it, she just liked Zhou Zheng'an very much.
Her love was mixed in with the love of other girls, and seemed insignificant and ordinary. Even if she said it, no one would care.
But it's actually different. What she likes is Zhou Zheng'an's calmness in doing things and his words and deeds that don't care much about anything. It seems that by staying with him, she can forget those bad things.
Being around him makes you feel particularly at ease.
Jiang Nan's thoughts were so dark that she didn't even have the courage to tell her best friend Zhou Zhixu.
She has used her greatest courage to like Zhou Zhengan.
Only in this way can she stand next to Zhou Zhixu and look at Zhou Zhengan openly. In the eyes of others, it is like, look, I am just accompanying my good friend to see her brother.
