Although Liu Xinran, who returned to Shanghai from France, met with Ankang frequently, and to some extent actively tried to break through the relationship with ordinary friends, Ankang very obviously deliberately avoided that kind of breakthrough in relationship.

Ankang, who was under the pressure of a blind date and bringing his girlfriend home during the Spring Festival, was not because Liu Xinran had hurt his poor self-esteem because he had dumped himself before, but because Ankang himself was no longer the Ankang he used to be. The current Ankang does not reject Liu Xinran's feelings, what he rejects is Liu Xinran's attitude towards life.

Although Liu Xinran, who is financially wealthy, still dresses as low-key as before, her views on what she wears are not interesting and she can understand how to live. In other words, Liu Xinran's life is a life of arrangement, never fighting for anything, everything comes in response. It is logical to find a suitable person to fall in love at the right age to fall in love, and it is logical to find a suitable person to marry at the right age to get married. Of course, most people do. It's just that Liu Xinran is a little more logical than most.

Imagine that a pampered princess naturally does not have to worry about her marriage, she will inevitably marry an enviable prince and nobleman, but how much of such love and marriage is because of the depth of love, and to what extent will it hurt deeply? The movie "Roman Holiday" may only reflect the imagination of ordinary people about aristocracy, but to some extent, it can also reflect the real life of Liu Xinran.

Liu Xinran's avoidance of Ankang initially thought that Ankang's self-esteem was at work, but later he was angered by one thing.

Ms. Liu wanted Ankang to invest in the company she had set up in Shanghai, but Ms. Ankang said that her company was only for marketing and did not fit in the field in which their company invested. Liu Xinran asked Ankang to invest in her father's company, saying that it was an industrial company, a mining company, and its annual cash flow was good. As a result, Ankang got the company's information and said that it did not meet the company's investment principles after evaluation.

After that, Liu Xinran ignored An Kang for a long time.

An Kang, who is not bound by emotions, is indeed fully devoted to his work. Last year, a small half of the year was spent working from home, which caused many projects to be significantly lagged behind. In the second half of the year, Ankang almost became a trapeze, frequently going back and forth to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places.

Ankang has a lot of resources in its hands, but most of them need to be integrated. Many people think that investing is all about throwing money out today and waiting for the day when it starts to pay off. In fact, investing is far from being so simple. Post-investment management is much more important than investment.

Ankang and Liu Xinran did not return to their previous relationship, and the relationship between Ankang and Zhu Xue did not know where to start. Ankang recalled the evolution of the relationship between him and Zhu Xue, and thought that his initial feelings for Zhu Xue must have been related to the incident when Zhu Xue came to his house to help him fold his clothes.

The two have met several times in the past year or so since their reunion, but they probably met in a hurry and said goodbye in a hurry. One of them is a classmate of his sister, and the other is the older brother of a classmate. Having a meal between acquaintances, calling friends and having fun, that's all.

Fate came suddenly. In fact, nothing extraordinary happened during this period. Even folding clothes is a trivial thing that can be ignored entirely. But this fate has just come.

Maybe Zhu Xue came to Ankang's house to help him pack up his things and fold his clothes, but this thought has changed many people and changed many things.

After Zhu Xue was transferred to Lujiazui to work, she and Ankang often met, but it was just a follow-up to folding clothes. And it was half a year before Zhu Xue went to Ankang's house again to help him fold his clothes.

Just when the old man under the moon was cleaning up the messy ball of yarn with his old eyes, and Cupid, the little god of love, was playing a game of losing handkerchiefs in between the maintenance of his bow and arrows, Ankang, who came home alone during the Spring Festival in 2004, was questioned by his parents: "What about the girlfriend you said you wanted to bring back?" ”

Ankang casually used Zhu Xue as a shield to prevaricate.

After the Spring Festival, Ankang carried a big bag and asked Zhu Xue out for dinner.

Zhu Xue opened the big bag in surprise and flipped through it: "Uncle, why did you bring me these things from your hometown?" ”

An Kang smiled: "You can treat me as Grandma Liu who came to the city to visit the Grand View Garden." When I entered the city from the countryside, I had to bring some things that the girls in the city usually eat and play, so as to leave a good impression on the girls in the city. Besides, who made you my niece? ”

"Hahaha. What city girl? Our Zhoupu place is also in the countryside, okay? Do you know how to cut it? Our people there go to Puxi, not to say to Puxi, they all say to go to Shanghai. ”

An Kang nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes." Except for Shanghai and Puxi, the whole country is in the countryside. ”

After dinner, Ankang carried the big bag and walked to the Huangpu River with Zhu Xue, overlooking the railing. The banks of the Pujiang River are indeed ten thousand styles. The river breeze blowing here is not the wind of nature, but the wind of humanity. The influence of the environment on people is evident.

Both Ankang and Zhu Xue have been to the Huangpu River countless times, but this time is different. Because this is the first time they have come together.

There are many tourists along the river, most of them are tourists from other places.

Although the tall Zhu Xue was dressed very elegantly, this elegance was ruined by the big bag that An Kang was carrying. Zhu Xue pursed her lips and smiled, but Ankang didn't care.

"I'm a countryman anyway, I'm not afraid." Ankang put the bag on a bench and said.

"I'm not laughing at your big bag, I'm laughing at your expression. Why is it so serious? It's not to bomb bunkers. ”

Ankang sat down beside Zhu Xue, smelled the faint fragrance, and said, "You little girls in Shanghai just know how to dress up." ”

Zhu Xue said: "This is also considered to be dressed up?" My grandmother was only known to be able to dress up in their generation. I was often scolded by my grandmother at home, saying that I would run outside without even putting on makeup. ”

"Then your mother won't talk about you?"

"My mother? She doesn't wear makeup. You don't want to think about what age my mother is, and she is a bourgeois who can wear makeup. So my mom and my grandma couldn't talk to me about it at all. I was right in the middle of them. If you're in a good mood, if you're in a bad mood, that's it. Anyway, we always run to the construction site, and we are disgraced at the end of the day. ”

Hearing Zhu Xue say this, Ankang really found that Zhu Xue, who was transferred to work in Lujiazui, was indeed dressed more attentively than before.

"You should dress up too." Zhu Xue glanced at An Kang and said.

An Kang said: "I can't dress up or not? When all men go to work, they wear all suits and leather shoes. The only difference is the looks and hairstyle. You see, my looks aren't bad, and my hairstyle was designed at a hairdresser. ”

Zhu Xue didn't refute, but pursed her lips and smiled: "When do you go shopping for clothes, I'll accompany you." ”
