Chapter Twenty-Five: I'm Afraid of Getting Dirty

Just now he called the customer, but the other party released the pigeon, and the other party's tone and attitude were as if he owed millions to others.

It's infuriating.

Jiang Nan sat opposite him, without saying a word, her eyes looked low, thinking.

"No, Jiang Nan, who have you offended? It's taken so much trouble to fix you, this is too serious about our little broken company. ”

Xu Pingsheng glanced at her sadly and helplessly, seeing that she didn't speak, thinking that she was uncomfortable, he coughed lightly twice and said comfortingly: "But don't worry, since I recruited you, I will definitely not give up on you, let's be the Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, right." ”

Jiang Nan looked up at him, his eyes calm: "I want to be sorry for you, I have lost so much business to you, I will find a way to solve it, you don't have to worry." ”

"What do you mean by that? We've been friends for so many years, can I really abandon you? Xu Pingsheng frowned, quite disapproving of her words.

Jiang Nan gently pursed her lips and didn't speak, she knew that what Xu Pingsheng said was true, but she didn't want to cause trouble to others.

......

It has rained in Beixin these days, and the weather is often overcast and windy.

Zhou Zhixu asked Jiang Nan to eat hot pot after work, and she recently prefers spicy food.

ordered two pots with spicy bottoms, but fortunately, Jiang Nan is also a spicy person, and she learned all these things that she was not good at before in Nanlin.

They sat by the window, but the window was not opened, and the dripping raindrops were beating on the transparent window, and there was quite a sense of atmosphere in it.

Zhou Zhixu's mouth was red, as if she had applied an extra red lipstick, which matched the red scarf around her neck, and it looked more and more ruddy.

Jiang Nan smiled lightly: "People say that pregnant women are easy to get haggard, but looking at you, why do you feel more and more moisturized?"

Zhou Zhixu stopped the movement in his hand, thought about it seriously, looked at her and said, "Maybe it's because of ...... I'm a doctor? ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them couldn't help laughing.

"You're not an obstetrics and gynecology doctor, so could it be that your internal medicine department is still in charge of this?" Jiang Nan joked.

Zhou Zhixu raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

Zhou Zhixu lowered his head and touched his stomach again, there was a little more affection in his eyes, and he said softly: "Sour and spicy girl, I love spicy food so much now, I guess it's a girl, I hope my baby is a cute girl."

"You'll definitely take care of her as a little princess, pretty and cute." Jiang Nan echoed.

The two chatted for a long time and ate for a long time, but it was dark, and the rain outside gradually became lighter.

Jiang Nan was a little tired, and lazily looked at the crowd of people passing by with umbrellas scattered outside the window.

At this time, some new cars entered the parking lot outside the hot pot restaurant, and the headlights flashed in front of the window, flashing Jiang Nan's eyes.

Jiang Nan blinked instinctively and looked over.

The car stopped steadily in the parking space, and a few seconds later, three people got out of the car and walked towards the hot pot restaurant.

Coincidentally, Jiang Nan knew all three of them.

The woman walking in the middle is the most conspicuous, her black leather coat is draped outside, and she wears a tight black long skirt inside, and her big wavy hair matches this dress, which looks delicate and generous.

It's Gu Shengwei.

The other two people, one is Shen Qingfeng and the other is Jiang Youan.

The three of them talked and laughed.

Jiang Nan's gaze was a little wooden.

She hadn't seen Gu Shengwei for a long time, and when she met again, she was still so flamboyant, as beautiful as ever.

She went back to Beixin.

Jiang Nan's eyes couldn't help but look nearby, but she didn't see Zhou Zhengan's figure, she was actually relieved because of this.

The three of them walked into the hot pot restaurant, and the waiter who stood at the front desk said a few words, and then the waiter pointed them out a location on the second floor.

They walked upstairs talking and laughing, not noticing Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhixu at all.

"Nannan, did you hear me talking to you?" Zhou Zhixu stretched out his hand in front of Jiang Nan and shook it.

Jiang Nan retracted his gaze and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Zhixu repeated what he had just said: "I said, how are you and my brother doing?" I haven't seen him in a long time, he should be very busy with that job, right? ”

Jiang Nan's eyes raised, and he nodded absentmindedly: "Busy."

The smoke floating in the pot slowly stretched out from the front of the two of them, Jiang Nan leaned back to avoid being smoked, and there was already a smell of hot pot on her body.

Jiang Nan listened to Zhou Zhixu's words, and suddenly remembered the kiss that Zhou Zhengan gave her on the side of the road a few days ago.

Although Zhou Zhengan later said that he was not drunk, Jiang Nan still felt that it was not true.

She didn't sleep well that night, when she was lying in bed, her brain was chaotic and clear, she didn't feel sleepy at all, Zhou Zhengan was lying next to her, and it was not as real as the kiss.

"Know, do you think a person will suddenly become very different?" Jiang Nan's eyes were a little empty, this was really a question she hadn't thought of an answer to.

Zhou Zhixu frowned: "Very different? Irritated? ”

Jiang Nan thought for a while and shook his head: "What else about this?" For example, if he suddenly did something, he would never have done it before. ”

"You're talking about my brother?" Zhou Zhixu keenly caught what was hidden in her words, and she leaned in curiously and asked, "What did he do?" Make you so puzzled? ”

Of course, Jiang Nan wouldn't tell her those things, she blushed and said perfunctorily: "I just did something completely inconsistent with him."

"For you?"

Jiang Nan nodded: "Almost."

"Isn't it just that he likes you, loves you, makes changes for you, wants to move you, and makes your heart move." Zhou Zhixu opened her mouth to come, as if she had become a master of emotion.

A trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Nan's eyes, and she was silent for a while without speaking.

Will Zhou Zhengan like her?

Jiang Nan didn't dare to think about it anymore.

......

Tonight was a little different, Jiang Nan became the one who came back later, and when she got home, Zhou Zhengan had already changed into comfortable pure black pajamas, sitting on the sofa and watching the astronomical news on TV.

It looks pretty laid-back.

Jiang Nan remembered Gu Shengwei's group that he met when he was eating hot pot just now, Zhou Zhengan was free today, but he didn't go.

Is that so?

"Zhou Zheng'an." Jiang Nan's hand was held very tightly.

Her mind was full of what Zhou Zhixu had told her.

Zhou Zhengan likes her and loves her.

She was desperate to find a gap in this conversation.

Zhou Zheng'an paused with his hand playing with the remote control, looked at Jiang Nan, and waited for her next words.

His gaze was calm and deep.

"I went to eat hot pot with Zhixu tonight, and I met Shen Qingfeng and them, ...... Didn't go...... It's just that it's quite early to see you come back today. ”

"Just ask you." Jiang Nan added, for fear that his intentions would be exposed.

She knew her words sounded weird, but she was too nervous to put together a complete sentence.

When she said this, her heart beat extremely fast.

It seems that as long as it is proved that Zhou Zhengan is avoiding Gu Shengwei, you can know that he likes her a little.

Even if Zhou Zhengan thinks deeply, he can guess her thoughts.

It's a pity that Zhou Zhengan didn't dig deeper, he only frowned slightly at Jiang Nan's strange words.

He didn't have Jiang Nan's twists and turns in his mind, and explained directly: "The hot pot thing is too oily, I just ate a few days ago, and I don't want to eat it anymore these days."

Jiang Nan's overflowing emotions were extinguished little by little in the calm touch with him.

Jiang Nan remembered the unpleasantness they had when they were at the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhengan's words at that time passed over and over again in her heart.

Again and again extinguished the fire that was faintly burning in her heart.

Jiang Nan smiled at him and said, "That's right."

Zhou Zheng'an turned his gaze away, casually looking at the TV screen.

"By the way, there's something I'd like to ask for your thoughts."

Jiang Nan changed his slippers and sat down on the single sofa next to him, looking at him.

Zhou Zheng'an's eyes didn't glance at her, but said: "Su Jinyue wants to invite you to watch her new show, and after half a month, she will leave you a place."

"Me? I've never been to a show, don't I think it's a cow? Jiang Nan hesitated.

"You still have half a month to think about, don't worry, it's not a big deal." Zhou Zhengan said.

Jiang Nan nodded thoughtfully.

After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Jiang Nan went to the study, since the last time Zhou Zhengan said that he could go in at will, many of Jiang Nan's things have also been moved to the study, and if they are placed outside, it will be a little messy.

The time for her and Zhou Zheng'an to use the study is almost staggered, and each does not disturb.

Zhou Zhengan also deliberately vacated a place for her to put her things.

After Jiang Nan entered the study, he began to check the grammar that he didn't understand too well during the day, and then recorded these in detail in his notebook.

Her notebook had been in use for many years, and on the first white hard-cover cover was a sketch of a black carbon pen drawing that she had learned when she was in college and had joined a drawing club.

It depicts a boy with a handsome face, wearing a school uniform with a white shirt, and his eyes are calm and flat, just like that, looking through the paper, as if he has been looking at the person outside the painting.

Except for Jiang Nan, no one knew about the painting hidden in this notebook, because most of the time the painting was covered by an all-black book cover.

Jiang Nan only dared to take it out secretly every time he sat in front of the library window and enjoyed the quiet, and then hid it back in the book cover.

Her roommates sometimes asked her strangely, "Why do you put an all-black cover on an all-white bookcase?"

She would only reply, "I'm afraid I'll get dirty."

During her years in college, she always remembered Zhou Zheng'an, recalling the few conversations he had with her, and his wanton and loose smile when facing close friends.
