Chapter 576: Opportunity
Zhou Xiaoan's cold nose was covered by his warm palm, Su Su was numb as if he had been burned, and his face was a little red from the heat on his hands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She rubbed her face against the thick velvet collar of her coat, soft and warm, and didn't mind being teased, when she suddenly saw an umbrella hanging on his bicycle, which was still dripping with water, "You've been here for a long time?" ”
Zhou Yuehai sighed deliberately, "Who told you to wear a padded jacket when you go out, I was so worried that I couldn't sit still when I saw the snow, so I had to chase after me." ”
Zhou Xiaoan turned his head around and didn't look at him, "Why don't you come in and look for me......"
Zhou Yuehai didn't argue with her about this, and pointed to her shoes, "Are your feet cold?" ”
How can a girl who loves beauty wear thick and stupid cotton shoes? Zhou Xiaoan's cotton leather shoes were frozen after standing in the ice and snow for a while, but she couldn't admit that it was cold, she walked forward very calmly, "Hurry up and go home!" It's silly to stand here! ”
Zhou Yuehai grabbed her, pushed her on the bicycle and took her to the side of the road.
On the side of the road was a closed vegetable station with a canopy at the door, and a large stack of bamboo baskets piled high under the shed.
Zhou Yuehai took Zhou Xiaoan around the stack of bamboo baskets, picked a dry leeward place to support the bicycle, and carried her to the back frame and sat down.
Before Zhou Xiaoan understood what was going on, he sat on the high frame with his legs in the air.
Zhou Yuehai took out a pair of thick woolen socks from his pocket and shook them in front of her, "Aunt Liu sent it today, saying that it was the leftover thread from knitting a sweater, and knitted socks for you to wear in winter, and now it is just right to use it." ”
Aunt Liu's needlework is fast and good, and the sweater is also knitted densely fitted, Zhou Xiaoan gave her some of the remaining thread from knitting the sweater, and asked her to knit a glove for the children or something, Aunt Liu was very grateful and knitted a pair of wool socks for her.
After Zhou Yuehai finished speaking, he squatted down directly on one knee and was about to take off Zhou Xiaoan's shoes to put on socks for her.
Zhou Xiaoan sat in the back seat of the 28-tall car, tightly wrapped in a big cotton jacket, afraid of falling off if he wanted to move, and there was nowhere to hide.
"No, no, I'm not cold! No! Ah! Stop! I wear it myself! Feed! You! It was too late to stop it, Zhou Yuehai had already untied her leather shoelaces and let her step on her knees and put on her socks.
Zhou Xiaoan was so frightened that he hurriedly looked around, they were hiding in the small door of the vegetable station, and there was a large stack of big baskets in front of them that were about to reach the roof, as long as they didn't deliberately go around, they couldn't see this side.
The road is full of shops after work, and there are no residential areas, and there are basically no pedestrians on the road after work.
But no one sees it, so it's not appropriate!
Zhou Xiao'an couldn't help but retract his feet, he was anxious and didn't dare to shout loudly, and he was afraid of falling, so he didn't even dare to make a big move, and his face was so anxious that he blushed, "I'll do it myself!" Do it yourself! You! Ah! ”
But one foot has been put on wool socks, put on shoes and tie shoelaces, and the other shoe has been neatly taken off, Zhou Xiaoan is really anxious, "Zhou Yuehai!" Let's talk! ”
Zhou Yuehai looked up at her, "Say it, I'll listen." ”
Zhou Xiaoan sighed in frustration, the posture of the two of them now is really a little strange, she can't step on someone's knees, and say something seriously to a person who is half-kneeling in front of her and dressing herself in socks, right?
Zhou Xiaoan buried his face in the thick cut collar of his coat, only revealing a pair of eyes that were a little hesitant, almost a little self-defeating, "Wait a minute, you, hurry up!" ”
Zhou Yuehai was not in a hurry at all, rubbed her frozen soles hot, then put on thick woolen socks, and slowly put on her shoes, tied her shoes, and pursued perfection every step like obsessive-compulsive disorder, "Xiao An, I know what you have to say." ”
Zhou Xiaoan shrunk her face into her coat again, she didn't believe it, she didn't even understand how to say it, what could he know?
After Zhou Yuehai put on Zhou Xiaoan's shoes, he didn't stand up, but looked up at her while maintaining the posture of squatting in front of her on one knee all the time, "Xiao An, let's make a bet, if I can guess, you will agree to my request." ”
Zhou Xiaoan shook her head reflexively, she knew Zhou Yuehai's ability too well, how did she win the bet with him?
And it's not something she wants to say that she can bet on.
Zhou Yuehai ignored her refusal and said directly, "You want to talk about our relationship, you haven't thought about whether to go further, and now you don't want me to have too close contact with you, right?" ”
Zhou Xiaoan's eyes widened in surprise, she really meant this, but she hadn't figured out how to say it tactfully.
Zhou Yuehai smiled bitterly, "Actually, what you really think in your heart is that we are not suitable, you hope that we can be estranged step by step, only as family members, not lovers, right?" ”
Zhou Xiaoan hurriedly shook her head, but she stopped halfway through the shake, she didn't have this idea clearly, but in fact, she did have this desire deep in her heart.
Zhou Xiaoan lowered his eyes with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I ......"
Zhou Yuehai didn't let her continue, "Xiao An, you don't have to say I'm sorry, I don't blame you." You've actually tried to accept me, but I've lost the opportunity myself. ”
Zhou Xiaoan raised his eyes in surprise, how did he know!?
Not long ago, she had begun to accept the transformation of Zhou Yuehai's identity, and she didn't know some of his hazy thoughts clearly, how could he know so accurately?
The last time I had a fight, those hazy thoughts were suppressed by the reality in front of me like a chasm.
There is a whole age between them, and it is not that a good impression can solve all problems.
She understands better than ever that they are not people of the same generation, that they can appreciate each other as a family, support each other, be lovers, and do not even have the most basic consensus on things, and it is impossible to get along harmoniously at all.
The foot she was about to take could only take a step back and keep herself in a safe place.
She didn't want to spend her life in frustration, helplessness, and loss like the day they quarreled, and his life shouldn't be like this.
Although Zhou Yuehai was full of loss, she still smiled when she saw that she had put all her thoughts on her face clearly, "Xiao An, did I guess right?" ”
Zhou Xiaoan nodded slowly, with some confusion and loss in her eyes, and even she didn't know why.
Zhou Yuehai held her hand through the sleeve of his coat, "No matter what, at least I still know you very well, don't I?" ”
Zhou Xiaoan nodded hesitantly, "It's easy for you to understand anyone." ”
In fact, she also knows him, he sees people and things very sharply, has his own set of deep-rooted rules of conduct, it is difficult for anyone to shake his mind, if he can't be equal to him, he can only be his subordinate.
Otherwise, it would be an exhausting and never-ending wrestling, and Zhou Xiaoan didn't want his life to be like this.
They had never had a conflict before, it was because their relationship was in a proper position, and as a family member, she believed in his abilities and was willing to obey him.
But if she is a lover, she must maintain her own independent personality and values, and she also has her own code of conduct to adhere to, and it is impossible to suppress herself for the rest of her life to cater to him.
So it's better for them to maintain the status quo.
Zhou Yuehai buried his face in the sleeve of Zhou Xiaoan's padded jacket and took a deep breath, and when he raised his head again, his face was undisguised bitterness, "Xiao'an, you are right, as long as I want to, I can understand many people." Over the years, I have seen through so many people, and the more I look at it, the harder my heart becomes, until I meet you. ”
"Xiao An, I've been looking for more than 30 years before I met you."
Zhou Xiao'an moved his lips, and he couldn't say anything if he refused.
Zhou Yuehai didn't force her to make a statement, but suddenly changed the topic, "What did you want to tell me just now?" ”
Zhou Xiaoan lowered his head, feeling that it was pointless to say this now, but he still said it honestly, "Let me think about it." ”
She just wanted to take it one step at a time, so she wanted to tell him to let her think about it, and then slowly let him accept the fact that they were not suitable.
Zhou Yuehai nodded, "Xiao An, since I guessed correctly, you can grant me a request." Don't be afraid, I won't make it hard for you. We're going to follow your original plan, give you time, and think about it. ”
"But you have to promise me that you can't have preconceived notions. Let's erase all the previous impressions, you give me a chance again, whether it's appropriate or not, let's just look at this time, okay? (To be continued.) )
