His voice was a little low, with a hint of coaxing.
"You said you weren't drunk." Jiang Nan was so embarrassed that she wanted to push him away, but a woman's strength could not match that of a man, so Zhou Zhengan simply put his arm around her waist and turned her towards him.
Two pairs of black eyes looked at each other in the gray night.
There is a very faint scent of tea seeds at home. It was a spice that Zhou Zhengan bought randomly before and has been using it ever since.
At this time, this smell became the catalyst for their love.
Zhou Zhengan said "hmm" and said confidently: "So now I need to sober up."
Before Jiang Nan's wide-open eyes could relax, she was kissed heavily by the man. The delicate taste between her lips and teeth filled the two of them with ambiguity.
Sobering up is what he said.
Of course, it's not just that.
After just standing like this and kissing for a few minutes, the man was no longer satisfied. Zhou Zhengan leaned down and picked up Jiang Nan's legs, holding her tightly around his waist. He held her with his hands underneath. She went to the bedroom.
Jiang Nan buried her head in his neck, pressing her red cheek against the man's collarbone.
Zhou Zhengan felt that this hot feeling seemed to have spread to his heart.
hot.
That night, the lights in the house really didn't turn on.

When Zhou Zhixu was nearly four months pregnant, Jiang Nan went to see her. They sat on the newly built swing in Zhou's backyard and chatted.
Zhou Zhixu's belly was not pregnant at all, and she had a happy smile on her face. Jiang Nan was also happy for her when she saw it.
It's almost summer now, and the weather is cool, but not cold at all.
Jiang Nan only wore a white cotton dress, while Zhou Zhixu was also wearing a knitted cotton coat.
She is gradually becoming a mother.
Jiang Nan reached out and touched her belly gently, asking her if she had decided on a name for the child.
Zhou Zhixu said with a smile: "If it's a girl, I want to call her Zhixia, if it's a boy, I'll call her Zhiqiao. This is what Xianzhi and I have discussed a long time ago."
Jiang Nan smiled.
"Nan, has my brother told you about having a child?" Zhou Zhixu asked.
All in all, Jiang Nan and Zhou Zheng'an have been married for some time, not to mention that they are both very young, but the two of them have almost never talked about children.
During the Spring Festival, when the family was having dinner together, Zhou's mother asked some insidious questions, but Zhou Zheng'an gave perfunctory answers. She probably didn't know what the two people really thought, so Zhou's mother asked Zhou Zhixu to ask Jiang Nan what he meant.
So Zhou Zhixu came with a mission this time.
When Jiang Nan heard that the topic was brought to him, he couldn't help but startled for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "We haven't talked about it. At the moment, we might just want to live a good life first. Besides, we are both very busy at work. Political Security is now They are all on a business trip.”
Zhou Zhengan left the night before yesterday and went to the plateau. The signal there was not good. Jiang Nan rarely heard from him in the past two days.
"How do you live a good life? My brother is over thirty, and so are you. If you don't give birth, you will be an advanced mother. After the child is born, you can ask my mother to help you take care of the child. It happens to be the same as the baby in my belly. As a companion, my mother will definitely not mind having too many children, and the two old people will definitely be laughing from ear to ear."
"It was so lively at home at that time," Zhou Zhixu said.
Jiang Nan looked hesitant. To be honest, she was persuaded by Zhou Zhixu.
Jiang Nan also likes children, but she is not sure whether Zhou Zhengan wants children.
Zhou Zhixu continued to speak in her ear, and Jiang Nan leaned on the hemp rope used to tie the swing, thinking carefully.
When Zhou Zhengan called her at the signal station the next day, Jiang Nan tentatively brought up the topic. She clutched the phone more tightly than usual.
"I went to see Zhixu yesterday. She was in good condition. We chatted for a long time," she said.
"Yeah." Zhou Zhengan responded to her.
Zhou Zheng'an's voice was quieter, and the sound of the wind pouring into the microphone was louder.
"She also said that if there were more children at home, the house would be lively and Zhou's mother would be very happy." Jiang Nan admitted that she is really not a person who doesn't talk about topics.
In this way, the intention is too obvious.
After a while, there was no sound from Zhou Zhengan's side, only the sound of the wind.
Jiang Nan got a little nervous when she didn't get a response.
"Do you want a child?" Zhou Zhengan's voice finally came, with some uncertainty.
"Then do you want it?"
When Jiang Nan said this, her face was a little hot and her voice was weak.
If Zhou Zhengan's answer was that she didn't want it, she would definitely not say anything more. This was a matter that should be discussed between the two people.
After a few seconds, he was probably really thinking about this topic.
At this moment, the sound of men's conversations came from Zhou Zheng'an's side. It seemed that Zhou Zheng'an's colleagues came over to talk to him.
Zhou Zhengan responded to the man, "Okay."
"Nan, I..."
"Go and get busy." Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Nan said hurriedly.
Zhou Zhengan said "hmm" and paused for two seconds. Before Jiang Nan could wait for the sound of hanging up, she almost thought that Zhou Zhengan had forgotten to hang up. Zhou Zhengan's voice came over again: "As for the child, wait until I get back. Let’s talk again.”
Jiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief after receiving his answer.
This means that he is thinking about this matter as seriously as himself, instead of immediately denying it outright.
Then no matter what the outcome is, you can accept it.
This time Zhou Zhengan was on a business trip for a long time, and it was already more than a month before he came back.
At that time, Jiang Nan was sleeping soundly under the covers. Zhou Zhengan walked into the bedroom. Seeing this scene, his footsteps became much softer. He didn't turn on the light and walked to her side with low steps.
Even if he wasn't there, Jiang Nan still only slept in her side. Most of the space on the bed was vacant. She huddled at the foot of the bed, only exposing her round head outside the cold quilt.
Under the dark color, her facial features looked much softer than usual.
Zhou Zhengan knelt down and placed a very light kiss on her forehead. His intense lovesickness in the past few months was all melted into it.
After squatting for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Zhengan didn't look away from her until she felt a tingling sensation on her feet. He stood up and walked towards the outside of the bedroom, even the sound of closing the door was very soft.
The next day, Jiang Nan was woken up by the alarm clock she set. She had to go to work, so she didn't dare to stay in bed for too long and sat up from the bed neatly.
As usual, Jiang Nan glanced at the empty space next to him, and felt a slight sense of emptiness in his heart.
Zhou Zhengan used to go on business trips, but probably because he would call her every day when he used to go on business trips, she didn't feel so empty. But this time, she really rarely contacted her.
She didn't even have a chance to ask when he would come back.
Because she didn't know the deadline, the meaning of waiting increased. Jiang Nan had said long ago that she didn't like this feeling.
After sitting quietly on the bed for a while, Jiang Nan patted his face and ordered himself to clear away these bad emotions. Then he got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked towards the living room.
After opening the bedroom door, Jiang Nan froze on the spot. She caught a glimpse of the person lying on the sofa, who was the person she had been longing for.
Zhou Zheng'an was a light sleeper and woke up as soon as he heard any movement. He happened to meet Jiang Nan's eyes standing at the door of the bedroom, his eyes filled with deep silence.
"Are you awake?" Zhou Zhengan sat up from the sofa.
Jiang Nan was still in a state of surprise and indescribable joy. She nodded blankly and asked him in a daze, "When did you come back?"
"Last night, it was too late, I didn't take a shower, and I smelled like dust, so I didn't go to bed." Zhou Zhengan explained to her why he didn't sleep in the bedroom.
"Are you going to work today?" Zhou Zhengan asked her again.
Jiang Nan nodded and then remembered that he was going to the kitchen just now.
Zhou Zheng'an saw what she was thinking. He got off the sofa and walked towards her and said, "Go and wash up. I'll cook some noodles for you."
The tone was light and it was Jiang Nan's familiar voice.
Jiang Nan's heart was filled to the brim, very sweet.
As she got closer, she noticed the changes in Zhou Zhengan.
I don't know if it's a problem with the lighting. He's darker and has some green stubble. He looks less dignified and more wild.
Jiang Nan likes him no matter what he is.
Zhou Zhengan had already gone to the kitchen. Jiang Nan looked up at the time on the clock on the wall. He was startled and quickly turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
Almost late.
Zhou Zhengan drove Jiang Nan downstairs in the company. He had the day off, and he had nothing to do with the school. He would probably be the driver for Jiang Nan's commute to and from get off work throughout the day.
Jiang Nan was going to discuss a cross-border transaction with her company's team today. The conversation took place in the office building opposite the company. She rushed there holding the information.
Zhou Zhengan's car was parked downstairs of their company and did not leave.
He opened the car window, rested his chin on the window with one hand, and glanced casually at Jiang Nan's work place.
Jiang Nan took the elevator to the third floor. The seat left for her by the team was by the window. Before the other team arrived, she lowered her head and quickly reviewed the information again.
From her position, she could just catch a glimpse of Zhou Zhengan's black and conspicuous vehicle downstairs, which was parked alone at the same spot downstairs without moving.
With just one glance, Jiang Nan fell into the busyness of work again.
The morning passed quickly.
If the communication is pleasant, the cooperation will naturally be pleasant.
Her colleagues discussed where to go for dinner to celebrate.
Jiang Nan glanced downstairs. Zhou Zhengan's car was still parked there. He didn't know when he got off and stood next to the car. There was a person standing opposite him.
The two are chatting.
Just then, Jiang Nan's colleague called her and asked her what she wanted to eat.
Jiang Nan came to her senses, quickly picked up her bag and stood up, apologetically telling her colleagues that she would not eat with them anymore. Then she left her seat and walked quickly downstairs.
