Chapter 9 Zhenjiang Talks About Engagement 1

"High-speed toll booths?" "You should have heard of it," Wang Chennan did not hide it, "Zhenjiang is very special during this time, so there will be a record of vehicles coming and going." Shi Yi understood: "I heard about it, but ······" Even if there were records, how could it be so quick to know who was sitting in this car. Unless after they entered Zhenjiang, someone followed them and found out the identity of the people in the car. Shi Yi thought so, but did not continue to ask, "I have information about you and your family here, which is very detailed, so as long as your father's car enters Zhenjiang, I will know soon," his voice was a little apologetic, and his voice was even more rarely gentle, "I will explain the specific reason to you face to face." Now, I want to ask you a question. ”

Shi Yi was a little strange, but still didn't hesitate to say, "You ask." "What could be the problem that would make him call out of nowhere out of the blue; Wang Chennan's tone was very special, but when she asked him to speak, he was quiet. Shi Yi was not in a hurry, leaned against the desk, picked up the pen, and knocked on his cousin's forehead, who covered his head, glanced at her fiercely, lowered his head and continued to do the question, "I need to be engaged to someone now." He said suddenly; This is an unexpected topic, like a cold wind blowing through the bottom of her heart, cold, there is a kind of desolation that is difficult to hide, she snorted lightly. Reincarnated as a human being, all memories should have been erased. It was she who violated the rules of nature, and the resulting sadness and helplessness could only be swallowed by herself. She quickly shifted her position, leaning against her desk with her face facing out the window. She believed that if Wang Chennan continued to speak, she would definitely not be able to hold back her tears; So facing a place where no one is around, it's much better. Wang Chennan stopped making a sound, she was even wondering if the phone was disconnected; As a result, she said, "I heard that you have a fiancée"; "I heard?" "Well, when I was in Xi'an." "I didn't know her, but at that time, I accepted the kindness of my elders." Shi Yi didn't understand, and he was a little angry, and he didn't want to ask further, his vision gradually blurred, and he didn't know what to say.

"However, I want to change my plans now," he continued, "Shiyi, would you like to be engaged to me?" Shi Yi thought that she had heard it wrong, she didn't have any preparation, and her sadness was still there, and he suddenly asked this, so that she couldn't tell the difference between time and space and time for a while. Wang Chennan, he said...... He's going to get engaged to her? "You can say no." Zhou Shengchen's tone was very light, but there was a bit of loss in it. She remembered a lot, but she didn't remember anything, just as if, in the memory of his previous life, he had never said such a thing. "When is it?" He called her name. "Anthracene......" she finally spoke, in a faint nasal voice, "you say ......" "True," he continued, "it's been four days since April Fool's Day." "It's really nonsensical, I didn't expect him to say such a joke, but he still said it so naturally. Shi Yi bit his lower lip lightly and listened to him continue. "There are some personal reasons for this," Mr. Wang said, "and we are not strangers to each other, and we have some mutual affection, so maybe we can try to get engaged." She was really confused by his logic: "If you have a good feeling, you will get engaged?" "I don't know many girls, and if I have to get engaged, I want to be with you, not a stranger." He said a reason that was not a reason. Suddenly, there was the sound of a chair dragging and my cousin was already wide-eyed, and she looked up at her incredulously.

Shi Yi raised his index finger and put it to his lips, suggesting that her cousin should not make a sound, there was still water in her eyes, all tears, but with a smile, the kind of gentle smile that could not be concealed at all; The logic of Wang Chennan's speech seems to be very weird, but when he says this, Shi Yi has no reason to fight back at all, just imagine, if it was those various people who had pursued her, she would have hung up the phone a long time ago, and she was the kind of old and dead who didn't get along; But only he, saying so, would only make her lose her ability to think. Even in his mouth, he only had a good impression of her, better than a stranger. "You can say no," he reiterated a second time, "and maybe you'll have a better choice." And she blurted out, "I didn't." The tone was a little anxious, as if he didn't want to lose this opportunity, but he made Wang Chennan laugh. She listened to his laughter in embarrassment, very uncomfortable, but fortunately he quickly said, "I'm sorry, it should be a romantic thing, let me do it very uninterestingly, and the matter is urgent." "I don't mind...... "Damn, what am I talking about, Shi Yi lowered his head, looked at the white slippers on his feet, and stopped abruptly again; Wang Chennan seemed to be in a completely isolated room, and spoke calmly: "I think you may not hate me too much, if you find that after in-depth contact, you have no good impression of me, I will give this matter a very reasonable way to end, and will not make you feel any embarrassment." Shi Yi snorted, more and more weird logic. It's a pity that he didn't know that the object of his negotiation had already thrown himself into the net, "I'm a very slow person, and the cultivation of feelings for a thing will take a very long time, such as chemistry, and I've been in contact with it for 14 years this year, but I'm not sure if I really like it." So, if you find out later that you can't accept me like this, we can also cancel the marriage. ”

She pulled out a tissue from the tissue box, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, the sun shined through the window, shining on her calves, a little warm, before she knew it, he had finished saying all the things to say, waiting for her reply, Shi Yi asked him the first question softly: "You have all my information, even my parents', but I know almost nothing about you......" "You'll know soon." She hesitated for a few seconds, but in fact, her mind was blank, and for a moment she didn't know where the courage came from, so she finally spoke: "Okay." Perhaps Wang Chennan didn't expect that she agreed so directly and quickly; Maybe neither of them has much experience. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, so, suddenly a phone call agreeing to the engagement, what should they do? Finally, he hesitated for a moment and asked another question that made her jaw-dropping: "Is it convenient, tell me your body size?" After he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly added, "Maybe, I need to prepare some clothes for you." "The reason is very good, but Shi Yi looked at the cousin next to him.

“92,62,90。” She whispered. Wang Chennan sighed: "This is the ......" "The girl's measurements." She tried her best to keep her voice low, but Wang Chennan asked in too much detail; The cousin's expression changed a few times a second; "Anthracene, I see, you wait." Shi Yi waited obediently. Until now, it still feels like she is in a dream, and her cousin no longer has the heart to calculate the problem, and keeps dancing in front of her, so that she must be honest with herself. Shi Yi pouted and motioned for her to lock the door, the cousin was very obedient, clicked the lock, and when he returned, he continued to ask: "You also need the size of the neck circumference, the upper part of the arm, the forearm, the wrist, the thigh, the calf and the ankle." I really don't know, Shi Yi hurriedly commanded, asked his cousin to find the tape measure at home, measure them one by one, and tell him. He wrote it down and told her to inform her parents as soon as possible, and that he would visit her in person tomorrow; It wasn't until the call was over that she realized that the incident would definitely cause an uproar in her home.

Parents are both teachers, and their ideas are traditional, how can they accept such a sudden thing? "Shi Yimei," the cousin pressed her shoulder and leaned over, "This must be a big gossip, I haven't heard it yet, and my blood is already boiling." "It's a big gossip indeed! She didn't even have the strength to explain, "Let me sit down for a moment and think about it." Then she told her cousin the truth. This earth-shattering thing, from lunch to the end of dinner, Shi Yi still couldn't find a good time to tell his mother. What to say? Or don't say? But it seems impossible.

Although it is only engagement, although people in this era regard "engagement" very casually, judging from Wang Chennan's tone and attitude, at least for his family, this is very important; This matter cannot be delayed, otherwise he will come to the door tomorrow, and I am afraid that it will cause a big earthquake. It wasn't until she was about to rest that Shi Yi dragged her mother into her room, saying that there was an important matter that needed to be discussed, and her mother seemed to have a sixth sense, and soon asked her if it was "that person" she said in the morning. Shi Yi nodded lightly, and her mother's expression immediately became solemn, and she sat beside her: "Let's talk about it, see what your mother can help you." "He said," Shi Yi exhaled softly, "to be engaged to me." "Engaged?" The mother's stunned was undisguised, "Anthracene, engaged." "When?" "Maybe it's just a day or two." She guessed, "This day or two? The mother couldn't cry or laugh, "Is the child playing at home?" We have been in Zhenjiang for the past few days, and we will not go back to Suzhou, besides, your father and I have not met him, let alone understood. "He's in Zhenjiang," Shi Yi said carefully, "I'll come to visit you tomorrow." "Why so fast?" "I don't know." She confessed, "You agreed? Shi Yi nodded, "How long have you known each other?" "About half a year," although she had only met four times in total, of course she didn't dare to say that, "He is also a university professor, with a good character and a very simple personality." "Simple?" The mother was amused, "This word is not good to use to describe men. Shi Yi looked at his mother quietly, his expression was very firm, "Okay, I know," his mother shook her head, "Let him come, since you have known each other for a while, it can be regarded as a consideration, fortunately it is not a marriage, and the matter of engagement is just a formality for you young people." ”

Before leaving her room, her mother suddenly asked, "He is also from Zhenjiang?" Shi Yi was stunned and replied reflexively: "Yes." Fortunately, I didn't say I didn't know, otherwise my mother didn't know what to think, before going to bed, Wang Chennan called to confirm, Shi Yi was wrapped in a quilt, and the two talked on the phone one by one, mentioning his visit tomorrow, very worried; This feeling, like you just want to drink a sip of water to quench your thirst, but the Buddha gave you a whole well, will repeatedly doubt the truth of this matter, besides, the two of them have only met four times, just now they have adapted to each other, and after dawn, they are already engaged, she is even very afraid, what should she say when she sees him tomorrow? "Except for the engagement, all of our relationships are in order, and there is no need to disrupt," he said a lot today, his voice was a little hoarse, but he was still rational and light, and had the power to calm and reassure: "Just like when I do research, I will set a research direction and then conduct experiments, which is just a very reasonable and scientific way." "She was amused by him;" The right time? "Anthracene." "Don't have too much psychological burden." "Okay."
