"Hello." The man's low and indifferent voice came from the phone.
"Brother!" Zhou Zhixu said excitedly: "You finally answered the phone. I tell you that if you don't answer the phone, you will definitely regret it. You are lucky to have me as your biological sister. You can secretly be happy in your heart. ..."
Zhou Zhengan felt irritated listening to her chirping voice. He took the phone further away and said impatiently: "You have something to say."
"Okay, then let me tell you, Jiang Nan is going on a date with someone else today. Do you know about this?"
There was silence for a long time before a voice came: "With whom?"
"I don't know, but I heard that he is a barrister, and he has helped Nannan a lot. Nannan has a special liking for him, and now they have arranged to have dinner together. You said that this lonely man and a widowed woman will inevitably be unhappy. Ah." Zhou Zhixu said with embarrassment.
There was no sound from Zhou Zhengan, and Zhou Zhixu continued: "Oh, by the way, according to time, the two of them are already eating now."
After Zhou Zhixu finished speaking, she listened carefully to what was happening on the other side of the phone. Unfortunately, she only heard the familiar "beep beep beep" sound.
"You really don't understand good people's hearts." Zhou Zhixu curled his lips.
Ren Xianzhi said slowly on the side: "It's very possible that he is already anxious and angry."
Zhou Zhixu raised his eyes and looked at him: "Do you know him very well?"
Ren Xianzhi shook his head and said honestly: "I am just analyzing what you just said from the perspective of a normal man."
Zhou Zhixu rolled his eyes and thought about this question seriously.
...
When Xu Jing hurried over to the Western-style restaurant, Jiang Nan was still looking at his phone. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the content on the phone, and then slowly sat down opposite Jiang Nan.
Xu Jing was wearing a suit, which was in sharp contrast to Jiang Nan's comfortable and casual attire.
Jiang Nan heard the movement on the other side, raised his eyes and looked over, and happened to meet Xu Jing's gaze after he sat down.
Xu Jing smiled and said, "I just came back from the court and didn't have time to change clothes. I hope you don't mind."
Jiang Nan quickly shook her head: "No." She turned off the screen of her phone and put it aside.
Xu Jing noticed her movements, remembered what he had just accidentally glimpsed, and asked casually: "Are you paying attention to Seth?"
"Do you know this?" Jiang Nan couldn't help but concentrate more when he heard the topic he was interested in, and temporarily forgot about their slightly awkward relationship today.
"Oh, it's a new project of LT Company. Go to cities with developed resources in West Asia to cooperate with others for mutual benefit. I heard that many companies have joined this project." Xu Jing thought for a while: "One of the cooperation points of this project It’s to help the poor families over there, which requires a lot of translation. Is that why you pay attention to Seth?”
Jiang Nan nodded: "Yes, I will go there with the LT people in a few days."
"Have you thought about it? The environment over there is not as relaxing as here. You used to do nothing more than do hard work for others, and you had to be exposed to wind and sun all day long. People who understand West Asian languages and have this major will never be willing to do it. It's such a laborious thing, so they asked for a translator. Frankly speaking, it's a hard job. You are a girl and you are not familiar with the place. Will your family agree?" Xu Jing looked worried.
"This is nothing, it's only three to five months. The key is that I can still see new things. I'm quite willing to go." Jiang Nan's lips curved slightly.
Xu Jing said: "You are really not as obedient as you appear."
Jiang Nan lowered his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curved deeper.
The night is getting darker.
Seth gave Jiang Nan and Xu Jing a head start. Most of the topics they discussed next were work-related. Xu Jing and Jiang Nan talked about the strange things they encountered when handling cases, and Jiang Nan would often laugh at his humorous words. Point, can't help laughing.
While chatting, it was past eleven o'clock.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Jing offered to send Jiang Nan back. Jiang Nan wanted to refuse, but when she thought of this refusal, she would have another reason to get together next time, so she simply went with Xu Jing.
It was not that she was unwilling to be with Xu Jing, but it felt a bit strange to associate him with a couple. She felt that Xu Jing's existence was quite similar to Xu Pingsheng's.
Xu Jing drove the car to the intersection outside Jiang Nan's residence. He learned from Jiang Nan that he could not get in any further, so he parked the car near the intersection.
Jiang Nan got out of the car and was about to say goodbye to Xu Jing when he saw Xu Jing opening the door on the other side and getting out of the car.
"It's too dark around here, and there are no cameras. I'm not worried about you as a girl. I'll send you in." Xu Jing said.
"I pass by here every day, there's nothing unsafe." Jiang Nan said hurriedly.
Xu Jing looked at her helplessly and said, "Jiang Nan, don't think about rejecting me."
Jiang Nan was a little embarrassed when he poked at the center of things.
"It's such a small thing, do you still want to argue with me here?"
He had said so, so of course Jiang Nan couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to let him go.
The two of them walked towards Chengxiang together, separated by a short distance.
Jiang Nan felt extremely tormented along the way. Fortunately, Xu Jing was careful about his size and didn't say anything. He sent Jiang Nan downstairs. Jiang Nan said with relief, "Thank you."
Xu Jing did not leave in a hurry, looked at her and said: "Jiang Nan, you should be able to see what I am thinking. I don't ask for anything else. I just ask you not to reject me in a hurry. We still have a long time to go." Contact isn’t it?”
Jiang Nan pursed her lips in embarrassment, stopped talking for a while, and finally said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xu Jing, I really don't have that regard for you. I hope you won't waste your time on me."
She and Xu Jing waved and then walked into the corridor.
It was pitch dark in the corridor. Jiang Nan tried to step on the floor several times, but no lights came on. She accepted the fact that the lights on this floor were broken, thinking that she would have to go to the property management office tomorrow to tell her, and her steps were also unstable. It became very slow. After all, there was no light, so I had to watch everything carefully.
After finally reaching the fourth floor, Jiang Nan lowered her head to look for the key in her bag. She couldn't see anything, so she could only use the weak light from her mobile phone to shine into the bag and search very carefully.
Jiang Nan took out the key and just put it into the door lock when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming up from downstairs. The footsteps were very fast and sounded urgent. They were very close to her. Jiang Nan subconsciously looked at her. In the past, before she could see the figure of the person clearly, the next moment she was roughly pushed against the door. The man grabbed her hands and told her not to move.
Jiang Nan's heart was in his throat, nervous and fearful.
The key fell to the ground due to the violent collision, and the phone also dropped to the ground and made a sound. In such a silent night, all the sounds were amplified infinitely louder.
In the darkness, with the little light coming from the illuminated screen of his mobile phone, Jiang Nan could only see clearly the man's familiar and deep eyes. Dark and unclear emotions were surging in those eyes at the moment, and they were not at all the same as their usual calmness. .
Jiang Nan's eyes were full of surprise, and her nervousness and fear were completely replaced by another emotion. Before she could speak, the man's hot kiss fell haphazardly. Jiang Nan was stunned, Zhou Zhengan pressed her tightly, he The kiss was domineering and snatching, showing no mercy at all.
Zhou Zheng'an's kiss gradually deepened. He pried open Jiang Nan's lips and teeth and intertwined with the tip of her tongue. Jiang Nan struggled hard only to be treated harder. She had no choice but to raise her head and cooperate with him.
Gradually, the man's kiss became much lighter, more like a gentle attachment, and his hands became much looser. Jiang Nan suddenly withdrew his hand, ignoring the pain in his hand, and pushed Zhou Zhengan away.
Zhou Zhengan took a few steps back, but didn't completely let go of his hand, just staring at her.
After all the fuss just now, everyone was breathing heavily now, and there was an atmosphere of shame and ambiguity lingering in the corridor.
Jiang Nan looked into Zhou Zheng'an's eyes, and remembering what he had just done, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and shouted at him: "What are you doing?"
"Jiang Nan, have you forgotten what I said to you that day?" Zhou Zhengan had regained some composure, and the storm in his eyes had not completely dissipated. He looked at her silently, his eyes dark.
Jiang Nan was stunned, and then quickly recalled everything he said to her that day.
Zhou Zhengan continued: "I just saw you and that man. Did you come back from having dinner together? You were talking and laughing. Also, before, at the expo, you were with him. Did you tell me what I said? Do you keep it in mind?"
His voice was much darker, and the emotion in his eyes was gloomy.
"Yes, if you ask me to consider it, then I must agree to you?" Jiang Nan's eyes gradually turned red, and she bit her lower lip tightly, as if all her emotions were about to pour out at the next moment. She endured it, and her heart became even more intense. Frustrated.
Almost all the grievances that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time burst out at this moment. Jiang Nan suppressed his voice and said: "Zhou Zheng'an, why are you so domineering? Do I have to be you in this life? How can you be so sure? ?You never really cared about me when we got married, and now that we’re divorced you’re pestering me again. How can you be so self-righteous? Are you playing with me? "
Zhou Zhengan's face was a little pale and his brows were furrowed.
"If you wanted to marry me last time because you were suitable, then why do you want to marry me this time? Tell me, is it because you are suitable again? Jiang Nan is not the only one in this world who has this kind of temper. There are many people like me. There are many people who meet your requirements, please don't come to me, okay?" Jiang Nan said, tears couldn't help but fall down, like raindrops, they couldn't fall, blurring her vision.
Zhou Zhengan looked at her, feeling as if his heart was stuffed with cotton. He stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, but then he remembered what he had just done, and for fear of hurting Jiang Nan again, he lowered his hand again. Zhou Zhengan's first time I felt so helpless that even the position of my hands felt very uncomfortable.
After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Jiang Nan, this time is different."
"What's the difference?" Jiang Nan shouted.
"After we divorced, I thought about it for a long time, why am I so sad when I am separated from you? Why do I feel lost when I see you alienating me? Why do I get angry when I see other boys interacting with you? Later I figured it out, Jiang Nan I like you."
Jiang Nan's eyes gradually widened as she listened to his words. When Zhou Zheng'an finished his last sentence, she almost thought she was hallucinating. Her eyes were bright red and she stared at Zhou Zheng'an blankly.
