It was only recently that Zhou Yi suddenly realized that Zheng Pianqing would always suffer all kinds of inexplicable grievances when she was around him. It was even worse when they were in love than now, but he was unaware of it.
Zheng Pianqing was confused by Zhou Yi's apology and didn't quite understand what he meant. In the end, she just nodded to him and let the matter be over.
In fact, Zheng Pianqing didn't take what that person said to heart very much. If she was in her early twenties, she might really feel sad because others said she was "not worthy" of Zhou Yi. Now after hearing this, she felt sad in her heart. No fluctuations.
She and Zhou Yi were not from the same world. It was an objective fact that they were not compatible, and she had no intention of being "matched" with him.
But Sansan was not as easy-going as Zheng Pianqing. She was still a little angry when she remembered the comments made by passers-by just now. She pursed her lips and said, "That aunt is so rude, she points fingers at others."
Zheng Pianqing: "Well, so there is no need to be angry at rude people, just have fun."
——
Early on the morning of the 5th, Zhou Yi arrived at the Xiangfu Villa.
Sansan was a little tired from visiting the scenic spots in the past two days. Zhou Yi didn't have any schedule today and planned to stay at home with her for the day - the father and daughter had not spent a whole day alone together. .
This decision was made after discussion between Zhou Yi and San San, and Zheng Pianqian had no objection to it.
When Zhou Yi came, Sansan hadn't gotten up yet, and it was Zheng Pianqian who opened the door.
Zheng Pianqing was wearing loose sportswear and her hair was casually pulled up twice. It could be seen that she had just gotten up.
After Zhou Yi saw her, his expression was a little complicated, "Where is Sansan?"
Zheng Pianqing: "She said she slept in today, but I didn't wake her up."
Zhou Yi nodded, "I bought the ingredients and went to the kitchen first."
Zheng Pianqing didn't stop him. After hearing him go to the kitchen, she turned around and went upstairs.
After that day, the two of them have been getting along in this way. Zhou Yi talks less and doesn't seem to "stalk" her like before. There is also very little verbal communication. He went out two days ago. When playing, he was mostly talking to Sansan.
Zheng Pianqian initially "reflected" on whether her words were too heartless and hurt him, but this "reflection" did not last long, and she soon realized that she had no obligation to take care of his emotions.
In fact, the way they got along in the past two days was more suitable for them. Zheng Pianqing didn't like Zhou Yi's excessive intrusion into her territory.
Zheng Pianqian and Qin Lie made an appointment to meet at 9:30 today.
It was a sunny day in Beicheng today, but the wind was very strong. Zheng Pianqing originally wanted to wear a woolen coat to go out. When she was putting on makeup and changing clothes, she received a message from Qin Lie.
Qin Lie: [It’s very windy today, remember to wear a down jacket. 】
Zheng Pianqing glanced out the window: [Well, you should also wear more clothes. 】
Zheng Pianqing finally wore a white down jacket and a woolen hat, with her long hair spread over her shoulders, which matched well with today's earth-toned makeup.
When Zheng Pianqing packed herself up, Sansan hadn't gotten up yet, but it was already nine o'clock and it was time for her to go out.
Zheng Pian hurriedly went downstairs and met Zhou Yi in the living room.
Not long after Zhou Yigang came out of the kitchen, he noticed Zheng Pianqing while she was still on the stairs. Although he had already known her appearance, he was still quite shocked when he saw her current appearance.
Zheng Pianqing's makeup today is much stronger than before, and the color of her lipstick is also darker. This contrast makes her skin whiter. She is wearing a light-colored outfit. When she sees her, her eyes are very natural. The ground will be attracted towards it.
Although Zhou Yi felt that the idea of "women should look good to please themselves" has long been outdated, Zheng Pianqian's appearance at this time made him unconsciously want to think in that direction - she went to see Qin Lie both times. She had dressed up carefully, even if it was not to "please" Qin Lie, at least it showed that she thought it was important to meet Qin Lie.
When she went out with him and Sansan before, she wore no makeup, her hair tied up casually, a heavy jacket, a mask and sunglasses, wanting to cover her entire face.
When Zhou Yi stared at Zheng Pianqing, she had already walked to the shoe cabinet.
Zhou Yi finally came to his senses after watching Zheng Pianqing take out her snow boots, "Is Sansan not up yet?"
"Well, you don't need to call her, she was too tired the past few days." Zheng Pianqing said, "If she wakes up too late, just prepare milk and bread for her to fill her stomach."
"Remember to let her drink more water." Before going out, Zheng Pianqian told Zhou Yi some precautions, "Don't give her sweets today."
Every time Zheng Pianqing said something, Zhou Yi nodded.
After the explanation, Zheng Pianying put on her shoes, picked up her bag and got ready to go out.
Zhou Yi couldn't hold it back. The moment she opened the door, he asked again: "When will you come back?"
Zheng Pianqing: "After dinner, probably around eight or nine o'clock."
Zhou Yi: "...Okay, I understand. Pay attention to safety."
Zheng Pianqian nodded slightly and opened the door and left. Zhou Yi stood there, watching her go out and close the door, but did not look back for a long time.
For a moment, he felt like a husband sending his wife out on a date with another man.
But he soon came to his senses. Zheng Pianqing was not his wife, and Qin Lie was not "another man."
Even if Zheng Pianqian didn't say it personally, Zhou Yi could clearly understand how special Qin Lie was in her life.
No one can replace it.
——
Zheng Pian Ting and Qin Lie made an appointment to skate, and they met near the park.
Today is a sunny day, windy and cloudless.
Although the temperature was very low, there were no shortage of people skating in the park. Zheng Pian Ting and Qin Lie bought their tickets and waited in line for almost twenty minutes before finally getting on the ice with their equipment.
The skating in the park is purely manual, with a small car and two pairs of iron sleds.
Zheng Pianqian went out without wearing gloves. When she touched the iron pry, the cold temperature made her palms ache.
"Stop holding it, I'll do it." Qin Lie took the crowbar from Zheng Pianqian's hand and said, "Put your hand in your pocket, otherwise the wind will blow your skin."
Zheng Pianqing was really not used to such a dry and strong wind, and she didn't have much strength in skating, so she listened to Qin Lie and sat in the back row as a "passenger".
Skating is still very stress-relieving. Although it is not a particularly exciting event, it is easy to be infected by the laughter and laughter around you.
After skating for about half an hour, Zheng Pian Ting said to Qin Lie, "I should have brought San San with me. She must like it."
Qin Lie: "How about going back to pick her up now?"
"No need." Zheng Pianqian shook her head, "I agreed to celebrate your birthday with you today."
Qin Lie: "It doesn't matter if you bring the children with you."
Zheng Pianqing: "I'll just bring her here again another day."
Qin Lie said "hmm" and asked casually: "What are Sansan's arrangements for today?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Zhou Yi will take her."
