"It's pathetic." The proprietress shook her head and said, "My husband and I came here from other places to open a shop, our home is far away, and it costs a lot of money to go back. ”

Zhou Zheng'an nodded with her.

The proprietress hurried towards the back kitchen without saying a word.

Jiang Nan raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Zhengan a few more times.

Zhou Zheng'an met her gaze, the girl's eyebrows were full of worry and entanglement, he guessed what she was thinking, and said calmly: "I wasn't a liar just now, right?" You are younger than me, and you are a good friend, can I not be your brother? ”

Jiang Nan looked away: "I didn't mean that." ”

"Then should you call me brother like Zhixu?" Zhou Zhengan looked at her.

For a moment, Jiang Nan felt that Zhou Zhengan was joking with himself, but this joke was very serious.

She didn't speak, Zhou Zhengan looked at her quietly like this.

After a while, Jiang Nan called out with a numb scalp: "Brother Zheng'an." ”

Her voice was small, but Zhou Zhengan didn't ask for more, his tone was comfortable and easy-going: "So, sister, you can always ask your brother for help if you have something in the future." ”

Jiang Nan realized only then that Zhou Zhengan's intention of asking her to call her brother was, he saw her difficulties and wanted to help her.

The two bowls of noodles were quickly lifted, and the fragrant smell hit his nose, and a small pinch of coriander was placed on the noodles, as well as an unusually large amount of beef.

Jiang Nan couldn't help but raise his head to look at the proprietress who brought them noodles, and the proprietress said gently: "Don't be polite to eat, let's get together today and we'll be a family, no one should be sad and sad, everyone will be happy." ”

The proprietress felt that this girl didn't seem to be in a good mood when she peeked at them there earlier, and then when she heard Zhou Zheng'an say that, she felt more and more pitiful for the two children.

She looked at both of them with inexplicably more loving eyes.

Zhou Zhengan raised his eyes and said, "Thank you." Jiang Nan followed.

The proprietress looked at these two children more and more pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Nan's bowl of noodles quickly fell into his stomach, his stomach suddenly warmed, and his face became more ruddy.

After eating, Jiang Nan subconsciously pulled into her pants pocket, and sure enough, there was nothing, she didn't even bring her mobile phone, how could she bring money.

Jiang Nan watched with some embarrassment as Zhou Zhengan took out the money and settled the bill.

Out of the door of the noodle restaurant, Jiang Nan said to Zhou Zhengan: "I didn't bring any money today, but I will definitely pay you back." ”

Zhou Zhengan reacted for half a second, only to realize that what she said about repaying the money was the money she had just eaten noodles, and he suddenly laughed a little: "No need, just treat it as the elders invite the younger generations to eat, how can there be any reason to repay the money." ”

"Oh." Jiang Nan replied sullenly.

"Jiang Nan."

"Hmm."

"Remember what the lady said?" Zhou Zhengan looked at her.

Jiang Nan raised his eyes: "What?" ”

Zhou Zhengan repeated what the proprietress said: "No one should be sad and sad, everyone is happy." ”

His voice was moist, as if adding rain to the dry cold wind, Jiang Nan looked at him in a daze, and the piece blocked in his heart had disappeared before he knew it.

The corners of Zhou Zhengan's mouth hooked slightly, and he said, "Happy New Year, Jiang Nan." ”

This sentence has been lingering in Jiang Nan's heart for a long time.

......

When it was all dark, Jiang Nan returned home, and she stood at the door of the house and hesitated for a while before knocking on the door.

Jiang Nan was very worried in her heart, and she didn't know whether she was waiting for her to be insulted or scolded.

It was only a few seconds before the door opened.

Jiang Nan was startled by the sudden opening of the door, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

No scolding, no pain.

Shen Li looked at her quietly through the dim light in the room.

Jiang Nan couldn't say anything, he stood timidly in place, and he didn't dare to go in, let alone look up at Shen Li.

After a few seconds, Jiang Nan heard Shen Li's voice, her voice was tired and forbearing: "Where did you get the money to buy clothes for yourself?" Is it the money you stole from my purse? ”

Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was referring to the Zhou Zheng'an dress she was wearing, his clothes looked like brand new, and the dark blue color could be worn by both men and women.

Shen Li naturally thought that she bought it, and the money in her wallet was often taken away by Jiang Feng, and now, she misunderstood this account for Jiang Nan.

Her daughter didn't come home for a day, but her first reaction was to ask her daughter where she bought the clothes.

Jiang Nan didn't speak.

"Nannan, do you know something? Don't learn to be like your father, people with unclean hands and feet, no one wants to want it in the future. ”

As she spoke, Jiang Nan listened quietly, and waited until she finished speaking, Jiang Nan passed her sideways and entered the house, and the smooth breath outside the house disappeared as soon as she entered the house.

There was no Jiang Feng in the house, Jiang Nan just glanced at the empty living room and went back to his room.

......

A holiday that goes by quickly.

The campus is back to its usual bustle.

Zhou Zhengan was lowering his head to do the question, and a well-folded coat caught his eye, covering the question in front of him.

"The little girl named Jiang or something sent it, she asked me to help you say thank you." Qian Sun put his coat directly on his desk.

Zhou Zhengan picked up his clothes and stuffed them into the desk.

Qian Sun didn't leave, his eyes looked back and forth on the boy in front of him, and asked curiously, "I'm curious, why are your clothes there?" And thank you, what happened to you during a holiday? ”

His tone was like that of an entertainment reporter.

"That girl is in junior high school." Zhou Zhengan reminded him coldly.

"What happened to junior high school? It's the third year of junior high school, and it's about three years younger than you, according to the rules of adults, what is this age difference? ”

"You've said it all, adult law."

"Go away." Zhou Zhengan simply didn't bother to deal with him.

Qian Sun tugged at his lips and said before leaving: "If you let me find out that the wife you are looking for is three years younger than you, I will definitely talk to her about her husband's old-fashioned thinking." ”

"Thanks to you." Zhou Zhengan glanced at him.

The days returned to peace.

During this time, Jiang Nan only met Zhou Zhengan once again, when he ate in the school cafeteria at noon.

She was dragged by Zhou Zhixu to eat with those boys, and let Zhou Zhengan treat him to eat chicken legs, his living expenses as a high school student were twice as much as Zhou Zhi's, and Zhou Zhixu was envious to death.

She also wants to save her living expenses to buy beautiful clothes, and the money for food can only come from other places.

Zhou Zhengan just raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, and ruthlessly spit out two words: "No." ”

"You're annoying, I don't want you to be my brother anymore." Zhou Zhixu was so angry that he died.

Zhou Zhengan let out a "heh" and continued to eat his own food and ignored her.

Jiang Nan, who was sitting next to Zhou Zhixu, couldn't help but hook his lips and smile.

"Okay, okay, your brother's money is all mine, I'll buy it for you." Qian Sun opened his mouth and said, he took out a handful of change from his trouser pocket, these money were indeed Zhou Zhengan's, Zhou Zhengan's people found him a bunch of change when he bought things, and he put it all in Qian Sun.

Zhou Zhengan didn't say anything, which meant that he acquiesced.

"Thank you, second brother." Zhou Zhixu was about to cry.

This girl is so pleasing, Qian Sun looked at Zhile, and when he got up and was about to go to the window to line up to buy chicken legs, Zhou Zhengan suddenly stopped him.

"What?"

"Buy one for Jiang Nan too." Zhou Zhengan said.

Jiang Nan hurriedly said: "No." ”

"What are you being polite to him? Just a big capitalist. Zhou Zhixu stretched out his hand and pressed Jiang Nan's hand to wave, and said to Qian Sun: "Brother, then buy two." ”

"Okay." It wasn't Qian Sun who paid the money, he naturally agreed, and he was thinking about buying one for himself.

Qian Sun's figure walked away.

Jiang Nan glanced at Zhou Zheng'an embarrassedly, his face was calm, and his clear and plain eyes were as clear as ever, with some familiarity at the moment.

The fate of a bowl of noodles that day made the relationship between the two unconsciously peaceful a lot, Zhou Zhengan completely noticed the inconspicuous Jiang Nan beside his sister, and Jiang Nan's vague heart had some more frank emotions.

She had the courage and the reason to look him in the eye.

*

The college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination are also things before and after, this holiday is very long, and it is rare to relax.

Jiang Nan heard the news of Zhou Zheng'an from Zhou Zhixu, he was admitted to Xinda with the first score in the city, in addition, she also knew a news, Gu Shengwei also went to Xinda.

She can't talk about her feelings, it's complicated, maybe she knew that her crush would not come to fruition, but when she saw that the person she liked was involved with another girl, she would still instinctively be sad and sad.

This kind of emotion is something she can't say to anyone, and what Jiang Nan is best at is to digest it silently by herself.

On the day the college entrance examination results came down, Zhou Zhengan invited everyone to dinner, and Jiang Nan was also invited by Zhou Zhixu, and at the dinner table, Gu Shengwei was still sitting in the position closest to Zhou Zhengan.

Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhixu had juice in front of their tables, while the others were all drinking in front of them, and when everyone raised their glasses together, this difference was easily revealed.

Jiang Nan vaguely realized that Zhou Zhengan might be farther and farther away from her life in the future, just like the difference between this glass of juice and wine, she felt a little sad in her heart, but she was sincerely happy for Zhou Zhengan.

The meal was eaten on the terrace, and the wind was cool and cool from time to time, which was very comfortable.

Jiang Ningyuan and Qian Sun belonged to the type of binge drinking, and when they were only halfway through the meal, the two of them were already in a dizzy state, Zhou Zheng'an, Shen Qingfeng, and Gu Shengwei were chatting comfortably.

When Qian Sun was drunk, he pulled Zhou Zhixu to chat and asked her if she had fallen into high school?

The results of the high school entrance examination are generally slower than those of the college entrance examination, and at this moment, Zhou Zhixu and Jiang Nan are not in a state of knowing the results.

As soon as he said this, Zhou Zhixu Benxing's elated little face was pulled down: "Second brother, which pot are you not opening and mentioning?" ”
