"Ha." Xu Pingsheng suddenly sneered. He looked at Zhou Zheng'an and said coolly, "I asked you why I always think you look familiar when I look at you."
He said word by word: "Ex-husband brother."
Jiang Nan: "..."
Zhou Zhengan: "..."
It seemed that his stereotype of Zhou Zhengan had not changed yet. Jiang Nan couldn't help but raise his forehead.
"I am also my current husband." With this, Zhou Zhengan's tone was naturally not much better.
Gao Xinyue was confused: "What do you mean?"
Xu Pingsheng opened his mouth and was about to talk to Gao Xinyue properly when Jiang Nan immediately stopped at the side: "What are you planning to do?"
When Gao Xinyue heard this, she stepped forward and took Jiang Nan's hand: "You haven't eaten yet? Why don't you go eat with us?"
There were some inconsistencies in what she said. Jiang Nan was stunned, and saw Gao Xinyue winking at her. Jiang Nan looked at Xu Pingsheng beside her again, understood a little, nodded and said: " all right."
Zhou Zhengan naturally had no objection to this, but Xu Pingsheng pouted, rather dissatisfied.
They found a nice restaurant nearby. The four of them looked like two couples, which was quite eye-catching.
Jiang Nan sat down at the very end. Zhou Zhengan was just about to sit down next to her when a figure suddenly stepped in and stopped him from sitting down.
Gao Xinyue sat down there.
Zhou Zheng'an raised his eyebrows slightly, then saw Gao Xinyue making a request with her hands together and whispered: "Handsome boy, I'm so sorry, I don't want to be paired with a bad man by fate."
Zhou Zhengan: "..."
Xu Pingsheng: "..." How can he be a bad man? It hurts my heart that he pursues the girl he likes but still has to be called a coward.
Zhou Zhengan had no choice but to sit down next to Xu Pingsheng with a cold face. Neither of the two grown men looked good-looking.
Jiang Nan tried hard to hold back her laughter and did not dare to speak at this time.
Halfway through the meal, Gao Xinyue got up and went to the bathroom. Jiang Nan immediately said, "I'll go with you."
Gao Xinyue nodded, and the two of them walked to the bathroom together arm in arm.
Zhou Zheng'an still picked up the dishes on the plate slowly without raising his head. On the contrary, Xu Pingsheng seemed to be burying the hatchet, and said to Zhou Zheng'an uneasily: "You said they didn't mean to say bad things about me, right?"
"Shen Nan, stay away from me." After noticing Xu Pingsheng approaching, Zhou Zhengan moved to the side in disgust.
Xu Pingsheng was so furious that he simply turned away and ignored Zhou Zhengan, who happened to be free.
Their scene looked a bit strange to others, like the darling wife who was annoyed and the boss who knew that the darling wife was angry but did not coax them, each having their own emotions.
But this is just what it looks like to outsiders.
On the other side, what Gao Xinyue had been holding back for a long time finally came out in the empty bathroom. As soon as they walked to the door of the bathroom, Gao Xinyue spoke very quickly: "Ah Jiang Nan, let me tell you, I am simply a big person." I'm speechless, that Xu Pingsheng actually wants to chase me? I don't know why he fell in love with me, it's really killing me, God knows I don't have any feelings for this kind of boy."
After she finished her long spiel, Jiang Nan slowly asked, "Xu Pingsheng is a very nice person."
"I know he's a nice guy, he's quite loyal, and he's pretty good-looking, but what I like is the kind of aloof guy who's motivated, not this kind of funny guy who does nothing all day long. Such a person is the same as me. We’re almost friends.”
Jiang Nan was speechless. She never knew how to face this kind of situation. The person who was good at analyzing this kind of thing was another good friend of hers, Zhou Zhixu.
"You have to help me." Gao Xinyue took Jiang Nan's hand.
Jiang Nan was stunned: "What can I help you with?"
"Help me persuade him to stop liking me, okay?" Gao Xinyue looked at Jiang Nan distressedly.
Someone happened to enter the bathroom at this time, and their conversation was interrupted. Jiang Nan did not say whether he would help or not.
When they returned to the dining table, Xu Pingsheng looked dejected and Gao Xinyue pretended not to be seen. As soon as Jiang Nan sat down, she lowered her head to eat, covering up her guilty conscience.
Only Zhou Zhengan was the most at ease in front of the entire dinner table.
There was some silence at the dinner table, except for the sound of Gao Xinyue talking to Jiang Nan from time to time. When the meal was about to end, Zhou Zhengan stood up and said to Jiang Nan: "Don't we have other things? Let's go first."
Jiang Nan was stunned. Although she didn't know why, she stood up and left with Zhou Zhengan. She turned back and waved to Xu Pingsheng and Gao Xinyue.
When he walked to the door, Zhou Zhengan asked Jiang Nan to wait there for a while, and then went to the front desk to pay the bill.
They held hands and walked out. Jiang Nan couldn't wait to ask Zhou Zheng'an, "Do we have anything else to do?"
"have."
"What?"
"Come back with me and live in a world of two." Zhou Zhengan's expression was calm.
Jiang Nan's tone sounded a little disappointed: "That's it." She thought there was some other surprise.
Zhou Zhengan glanced down at her and said, "Otherwise, do you still want to be cannon fodder between those two people?"
Jiang Nan felt a little distressed when he heard this: "Xu Pingsheng is really nice, but Xinyue doesn't like him."
"This is not something you should worry about." Zhou Zhengan stretched out his hand and gently scratched her nose.
"Is it possible that when Gao Xinyue asks you to persuade Xu Pingsheng, do you really want to go? You know in your heart that you are not only Gao Xinyue's friend, you are also Xu Pingsheng's friend. If you go to persuade Xu Pingsheng, Xu Pingsheng may not He would be very sad to really give up.”
"Why are you getting involved in such an unflattering matter?" Zhou Zheng'an's voice was very gentle, waking up Jiang Nan bit by bit.
Jiang Nan nodded numbly.
After a while, she said: "This kind of feeling is very sad."
Zhou Zhengan raised his eyebrows: "You know it very well?"
Jiang Nan's heart was agitated, and she whispered: "No..."
Zhou Zhengan said slowly, "Yes, you are always being chased."
Jiang Nan's face turned red, and she heard Zhou Zheng'an say: "I know two of them."
Zhou Zhengan raised his eyes and pretended to think seriously. After a few seconds, he said: "That foreign guy who participated in the outdoor variety show, and...Lawyer Xu."
When talking about Lawyer Xu, Zhou Zhengan deliberately lowered his tone.
Jiang Nan was speechless. It took her a while to think of a rebuttal. By then, they had already walked for a while, and she said with renewed energy, "You have one too, that big star Li Yanzhi."
"Li Yanzhi?" Zhou Zheng'an thought about it for a while before he remembered this person. He said: "After the scandal, she came to see me and told me a lot of messy things. I felt quite irritable when she heard that. It’s not good either, she probably won’t bother you again in the future.”
Jiang Nan nodded lightly. She hadn't seen Li Yanzhi for a long time. She had already become a passer-by in their lives, good or bad.
...
At night, Zhou Zhengan and Jiang Nan watched a love movie together. The ending of the movie was a bit sad. Jiang Nan never recovered after watching it and was in a very low mood.
Zhou Zheng'an took her to the balcony to look at the potted plants she was caring for. The flowers were already in full bloom, but it was getting colder soon and they were probably going to fail again.
Jiang Nan gently stroked the withered leaves of the flower with her fingers and said, "It would be great if I could keep it from withering."
"Flowers never bloom forever, and people never grow old forever." Zhou Zheng'an said a line from the movie they just watched.
Jiang Nan said nothing and looked at the bouquet quietly.
Everyone will be a little sad when they think about getting older, but if there is such a person by your side, there seems to be nothing to fear.
Just like the movie they just watched, the male protagonist in it got dementia in his old age and began to slowly forget. His wife was afraid that he would really forget himself, so she accompanied him and told him the story of his youth bit by bit. .
Later, the male protagonist slowly fell into a deep sleep while she was telling the story, but the hostess did not feel scared anymore, because when she told their story, she slowly recalled everything in the past.
In front of their grand love, growing old, getting sick, forgetting, and dying are just small things.
Later, Zhou Zhengan went to the study to get busy with work. Jiang Nan did not disturb him and found another comedy movie to watch.
Zhou Zhengan was busy until late that day, and he forgot the time. After finally getting everything done, he suddenly wanted to find a book to read.
On the shelf on the right side of the study room, there is a book that is half shorter than the other books. There are cute pictures on the book cover, like a comic book that only children would read.
In the past, Zhou Zhengan would not pay attention to such books, but he suddenly remembered that Jiang Nan had read this book while sitting on the sofa, and she seemed to like it very much. Zhou Zhengan often saw her holding this book when she came home the night before. Book in a daze.
He was a little curious about what Jiang Nan liked to read.
Zhou Zhengan took down the book by accident. The hard white paper cover added some solemnity to the book, and the touch felt inexplicably very comfortable.
Zhou Zhengan took a closer look at the book cover and discovered that the graffiti on the book cover had the ugly duckling's mouth a little crooked. It didn't look like it was printed delicately at all, but more like it was added clumsily by someone who was not good at drawing. of.
He touched it with his hand and then turned the page. On the first page was a teaching building. There was a boy and a girl in school uniforms standing on the fourth and second floors respectively. The girl on the second floor raised her head and didn't know what she was looking at. Which, and the boy on the fourth floor was obviously looking at the sky.
Zhou Zhengan felt nothing in his heart. When he turned to the second page, the contents of the book suddenly fell to the ground.
It's a bright white bookmark.
Zhou Zhengan lowered his body and picked it up.
The few lines above made him pause:
"I once tasted a kind of wild fruit that is open all over the mountains. It is bitter and sour, but it has a nice name, Congnan. I will never try this taste again, just like I do to you. Like the same.”
The handwriting was elegant and clean, and there was no name at the end. He could tell who wrote it. Jiang Nan's handwriting didn't change much and was easy to recognize, but he couldn't figure out who she wrote it for.
