At that time, Jiang Nan's love for Zhou Zheng'an was crazy and secretly passionate.
The name Zhou Zhengan has been with her throughout her youth.
It wasn't until they went to college that Jiang Nan and Zhou Zheng'an seemed to have completely diverged. During holidays, Jiang Nan would occasionally go back to Beijing to meet Zhou Zhixu.
Jiang Nan went to Zhou Zhixu's home twice and went to the university where Zhou Zhixu went to see her once, but it seemed that no matter where she was in Beixin, she had not seen Zhou Zhengan.
She obviously knew that he was in this city, and she had obviously heard about him many times from other people's mouths, but they seemed to be on two different roads and could never meet him.
They only met once more, when he came to Nanlin with his friends.
Later, when Jiang Nan was in her junior year, she followed her tutor to do research in other places. When she had free time, several students walked around the city together and passed a store called Memoirs.
The store happened to be having an event that day, and the clerk stood at the door to solicit customers and enthusiastically pulled them in.
The store has a special literary style, with gray-brown tones everywhere, ancient decorations, sofas, TVs, etc. It really seems to take people back ten years ago.
The clerk took them all to a separate small room, gave them paper and pen, and asked them to write what they wanted to say about the future.
Jiang Nan didn't know what to write. Looking at the blank paper, she just suddenly thought of Zhou Zhengan. She didn't know what he was doing now, whether he had changed his hairstyle, or whether he was still with those friends. When we play together, does his face still look the same as when he was in high school?
In a daze, Jiang Nan picked up a pen and wrote on the paper.
...
Jiang Nan writes very fast, probably because she has already simulated many words in her mind thousands of times, so she hardly thinks when she writes, and quickly fills up a piece of paper.
When she walked out of the small room, the others had not yet finished writing. Jiang Nan was sitting on the sofa waiting, and her envelope was sealed and put in a drawer.
A waiter came up and asked for her name and address.
When it came to the address, Jiang Nan hesitated for a moment. She was about to graduate from college. Even if this letter was really sent back to them, it would never be in the past two years. She was no longer in school at that time, but If it was sent to Beixin, she didn't know where she could stay.
Jiang Nan thought for a long time and finally filled in his previous home address.
They haven't lived in the house over there since Jiang Feng was imprisoned and Shen Li remarried. Shen Li lived in the Song family, but she didn't dare to stay in that house alone.
Jiang Nan didn't expect the letter to be sent back. She just needed an address, so she filled it out.
Many years later, she had long forgotten what happened in this memoir.
She didn't know at that time that she would have so many bonds with Zhou Zhengan many years later.
Jiang Nan pulled away from her memories and squinted her eyes because of the cold wind blowing by the car. She was still looking out the window with empty eyes. She told Xu Pingsheng: "Xu Pingsheng, my youth is completely over."
Her voice was as empty as her eyes, low, like a murmur in a dream.
Xu Pingsheng sneered: "Isn't it just a divorce? As for this? I don't know how deep the relationship between you and him is. Isn't it just a flash marriage and a flash love?"
Jiang Nan said nothing.
Xu Pingsheng sent her to the house where she lived when she first came to Beixin. Jiang Nan didn't expect that she would come back here again.
"Then you have a good rest. I won't go in. I haven't been in this house since you moved out last time. The things inside have not been touched. They are still the same." Xu Pingsheng stopped at the door and did not go in. He said one sentence after another. He told Jiang Nandao.
Jiang Nan nodded.
"Thank you." She said to Xu Pingsheng.
"Why are you so polite?" Xu Pingsheng waved his hand, turned and left.
Jiang Nan sat down on the sofa and looked at the ceiling, blinking slightly. The luggage was still placed by the door, untouched.
...
After Zhou Zhengan came out of home, he drove to Jiang Ningyuan's residence. When he arrived, Jiang Ningyuan had just finished taking a shower. He heard a knock on the door and went to open the door. He was startled when he saw that it was him and hurriedly turned aside to let him in. .
"What are you doing? You have never come to my humble home in the middle of the night before."
"I didn't bring my ID card, so I had to come to you." Zhou Zhengan said coldly.
Jiang Ningyuan wiped his hair with the towel on his shoulders: "Aren't you afraid that Su Jinyue is here with me?"
Zhou Zhengan sat down on the sofa and glanced at him after hearing this: "If she really had such a good relationship with you, you wouldn't chase her like a dog."
"Hey." Jiang Ningyuan pouted, sat down next to him, stretched out one hand on his side, almost resting on Zhou Zhengan, he said lazily: "Tell me, why are you here? "
Zhou Zhengan looked at him with frighteningly quiet eyes.
Jiang Ning raised his body from behind and said exaggeratedly: "Isn't it right? He was kicked out? Jiang Nan doesn't have this kind of character, right? He can't be so bad after staying with Su Jinyue for two days, right?"
Zhou Zhengan became more and more irritable. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "She filed for divorce with me."
Jiang Ningyuan's surprise was all in his eyes: "What's going on?"
"have no idea."
Jiang Ningyuan looked at him, becoming more and more weird: "The divorce was brought up after coming back from the Villa... Could it be that you and Gu Shengwei were involved again in the past two days, right?"
Zhou Zhengan raised his eyebrows impatiently, and just when he was about to speak, Jiang Ningyuan denied himself: "There is definitely no such thing. If you were really that kind of person, you wouldn't have wanted to keep Gu Shengwei or not when he decided to go abroad. Just a moment."
Jiang Ningyuan glanced at his face and joked: "No, does a divorce make you look so bad? Didn't you show off your arrogance before?"
"Then if you don't want to leave, just talk to her. I don't think Jiang Nan is the kind of person who makes trouble on a whim without any reason."
"..."
Zhou Zheng'an was silent for a while, then said: "Do you have any cigarettes here?"
Zhou Zhengan is not a heavy smoker. He doesn't really like the smell of cigarettes, but tonight he really wanted to smoke. It felt like it was tickling his heart, very uncomfortable.
After a while, Jiang Ningyuan threw the cigarette to him. Zhou Zhengan lit the cigarette and blew out the smoke ring. His appearance was a little distorted under the swirling smoke. He thought for a long time.
Zhou Zhengan seemed to be surrounded by a mist. He didn't know if Jiang Nan had ever had a crush on him. He didn't know where Jiang Nan defined the short relationship between them.
He didn't think about everything clearly, and now he has reached the end.
...
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Nan arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau early. There was no one at the Civil Affairs Bureau yet. She sat on the steps in front of the door and waited with her head in her hands.
I don’t know how long I waited, but gradually there were more people in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and people were coming in and out.
Jiang Nan stared at the ground in a daze, and a shadow suddenly fell in front of him.
She raised her head and met Zhou Zhengan's eyes.
Zhou Zhengan put his hands in his coat pockets and looked at her with his head lowered, his eyes as indifferent as ever.
Jiang Nan stood up and patted the clothes behind him.
"Go in." Zhou Zheng'an said, and after saying that, he entered the Civil Affairs Bureau first.
Sitting in the waiting area, although the two of them were not side by side, there was still a fist distance between their shoulders. Apart from the words they said when they first came in, there was no communication between the two. They really looked like a couple whose relationship had broken down.
Sitting next to them was a young couple who also came to get a divorce like them, but they seemed more harmonious, talking and laughing.
The girl glanced towards them and whispered to the boy next to her: "Look, how handsome that boy is. We're all gone now, tsk tsk tsk."
"He's so handsome that he can't be eaten for a living." The boy glanced at her.
None of them noticed that Zhou Zhengan's face became darker and darker as they were talking about him.
In such a big place, no matter how quiet you are, you can hear it. Jiang Nan can hear it clearly. She glanced at Zhou Zhengan quietly, pursed her lips, turned to him and whispered: "Don't listen to what they say, I I think you’re pretty good.”
Zhou Zhengan's expression remained unchanged, and Jiang Nan felt that he seemed even more angry than before.
She shut up completely now and didn't dare to say anything else.
...
In less than half an hour, the two of them walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Probably because it was just the Spring Festival, there were many marriages but very few divorces, so they handled the matter quite quickly.
Jiang Nan stood at the door, looking at the small green book in her hand, breathing heavily in her heart, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Zhou Zhengan walked behind her in a leisurely manner, catching her full view of the smile that only appeared for three seconds.
It turns out that divorcing him would make her so happy.
Zhou Zhengan's eyes darkened and he walked towards the stairs. Jiang Nan only saw his back walking down the stairs step by step.
She stood behind him and watched him leave.
This time, it should be the last time I see his back before leaving, Jiang Nan thought to himself.
Zhou Zhixu rushed to Jiang Nan's residence in a hurry after receiving a call from her.
Jiang Nan had no intention of hiding it from her this time, and she was the first person to tell him.
When Zhou Zhixu arrived, she was still sitting on the sofa writing something with a notebook in her hand.
Zhou Zhixu was convinced, and she was so anxious that she almost got angry: "No, are you still in the mood to work?"
Jiang Nan looked innocent: "Because of the divorce, I took half a day off. Of course I have to make it up."
Zhou Zhixu stepped forward, held her face and looked at her carefully: "Are you really okay?"
"It's okay, I really plan to start living a good life." Jiang Nan looked at her and said seriously.
Zhou Zhixu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then can you tell me why you don't want to be my sister-in-law?"
Jiang Nan was a little helpless and looked at her: "Zhixu, what I just said."
"I don't care. As long as nothing happens to you, my brother will have nothing to do with his character."
