The two stayed in the convenience store for a while that day, mostly sitting quietly, and a few times Zhou Zhengan would take the initiative to say a word or two, Jiang Nan replied.

I haven't seen him for three years, Zhou Zheng'an has more calm and calm, his edges and corners are sharper, and he has lost some of his youthful innocence.

Staying with him, Jiang Nan suddenly felt that he had really become a helpless child.

Similarly, Zhou Zhengan also felt that Jiang Nan was a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different, her eyebrows were still as soft as before, except for her height, he really didn't see anything else.

At about two o'clock in the morning, Zhou Zhengan sent Jiang Nan back to his residence.

She lived in a low-stilted building, with almost no lights outside, and from time to time there was a fishy smell of sewers, which accompanied the summer heat, which made people feel uncomfortable at all.

Zhou Zhengan sent Jiang Nan downstairs, and the unpleasant smell was always mixed between the two.

As soon as he stopped his footsteps, Jiang Nan hurriedly said to Zhou Zheng'an: "Thank you, Brother Zheng'an, it's too late for you to go back." She couldn't bear him standing in the stinking gutter.

Zhou Zhengan glanced at the room upstairs with the lights on, and then nodded and said, "Okay, good night."

Jiang Nanmu sent his figure into the darkness, Zhou Zhengan was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and his figure looked cold and straight, like the moon in the dark night.

It's not the moon hanging in the sky, it's the moon in Jiang Nan's heart.

Her gaze lingered on him for a long time.

For Jiang Nan, this summer vacation is extremely lucky.

The alley where Jiang Nan sat and nibbled on steamed buns was the place where Zhou Zhengan had to pass when he came home from school every day after his senior year.

Because he saw Jiang Nan in the alley that night, when Zhou Zhengan passed by there later, he couldn't help but look there, and when he looked at it for the second time, there was still a dim street lamp in the alley, no one, and no one looked at it for the third time......

A place that I never looked at in the past has now developed the habit of looking at it.

For the seventh time, he finally saw Jiang Nan there again.

Zhou Zhengan stopped his gaze.

It's still a dark night.

Jiang Nan sat much closer to the street lamp this time, just under the street lamp, she leaned against the pillar, against the warm light, bent her knees, with a thick dictionary and a notebook on her knees, taking notes very seriously.

She was dressed in the clothes of a waitress, the street lamp shone on her bare fair skin, as if it was glowing, her expression was so focused, there was not a trace of noise in her eyes.

With this kind of appearance, Zhou Zhengan didn't step forward to disturb her, but he didn't leave in a hurry, and his eyes fell on her quietly.

Zhou Zhengan finally took care of the girl.

He finally saw what was different about Jiang Nan.

She has more energy than before, a strength to climb up.

If it is said that Jiang Nan, whom Zhou Zhengan knew before, is like a gray fish waiting to dry up in a pool of stagnant water, then now she seems to have suddenly woken up and desperately wanted to jump from the stagnant water to the sea water opposite the high wall.

The energy on Jiang Nan's body is not as dazzling as others, but flows quietly like hot spring water, slowly converging into rivers, lakes and seas.

It's not easy to notice, but it's not easy to go unnoticed.

is such a difference, which attracted Zhou Zhengan's attention and looked at her for a while.

This girl has the power to save herself, and she doesn't need anyone to save her.

*

Before the end of the summer vacation, Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhixu met, it was at Zhou Zhixu's house, although Jiang Nan had also been to Zhixu's house before, but when she went again, she would still be a little restrained and overwhelmed, and she behaved very restrained.

This is also Zhou Zhengan's home.

Fortunately, Zhou's father and mother were not at home that day, Zhou Zhixu originally told Jiang Nan that there was no one at home today, but when Jiang Nan really arrived, he still saw the people next to him.

There is a beautiful tree in the courtyard of the Zhou family, and when the summer sun is high, the leaves of that tree are just enough to cover a cool shade, and there is a suitable deck chair there.

Zhou Zhengan was lying on the recliner, with a professional book standing on his abdomen, one hand on it, and he was looking at it with his eyes down.

In the room, Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhixu retracted their gazes at the same time.

Zhou Zhixu waved his hand at Jiang Nan, looking innocent: "My brother was going to have dinner with Brother Ning Yuan and them today, but I don't know why I didn't go."

Jiang Nan shook his head gently: "It's okay."

How could she mind that?

Zhou Zhixu nodded, and pulled Jiang Nan to tell her about her freshman year, the two of them were not in the same school, and they experienced many different things with each other.

Jiang Nan listened patiently.

The people who read the books outside the house also read very carefully and carefully, and most of the time in the morning was doubled.

At lunchtime, the three young men naturally sat down at a table.

It was made by Zhou Zhengan, and he boiled the clear water.

Before starting, Zhou Zhixu took a photo of them eating with his mobile phone and sent it to Ren Xianzhi, I don't know what she said, she had a shy and joyful expression on her face.

She didn't move the chopsticks, Jiang Nan didn't know if she should eat first, she didn't reach out for the chopsticks for a while, or Zhou Zhengan said: "Don't worry about her, eat yours."

He had already picked up a mouthful of noodles, Jiang Nan nodded, and also picked up chopsticks to eat noodles.

The scene of the three people is still more or less weird.

After a while, Zhou Zhixu put down the phone, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was different.

Zhou Zhixu smiled and picked up the chopsticks to eat the noodles, and the noodles in the bowl were a little lumpy.

"By the way, Nannan, when are you going back to school?" Zhou Zhixu asked while chewing noodles.

Jiang Nan: "Twenty-eighth."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengan raised his eyes.

Zhou Zhixu's eyes suddenly lit up: "My brother is also the twenty-eighth!"

"Huh?" Jiang Nan didn't understand.

Zhou Zhixu had an expression of excitement on his face, and explained to her: "My brother is also going to Nanlin on the 28th, and he is going to the research institute over there for an internship, and he will go for half a year, so you can go with a companion."

Jiang Nan looked at Zhou Zheng'an with some surprise, he was also going to Nanlin, and he actually had to stay there for half a year, which was equivalent to living together for half a year in a city that was unfamiliar to both parties.

This mood is strange and complicated.

Nanlin, nineteen-year-old Jiang Nan didn't like this place that made her feel extremely lonely, but now, the person she loved had set foot in her lonely area, which became a little different.

Although this does not mean that there will be any relationship between them, it is only half a year.

"Let's go together, then." Zhou Zhengan said.

"Huh?" Jiang Nancai withdrew from his thoughts.

Zhou Zhengan glanced at her and repeated it again: "Then let's go together, I'll book a ticket."

"It's so fateful, brother, you must help me take care of Nannan." Zhou Zhixu clapped his hands.

Zhou Zhengan was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Okay."

Jiang Nan didn't have time to think, it all happened too fast.

"I ...... I can't get on the plane. Jiang Nan was overflowing with a faint embarrassment in his heart, and it was the most difficult to talk about being downcast in front of the person he liked.

It was impossible for her to go on a plane with him, Jiang Nan knew that with Zhou Zheng'an's family background, she would definitely be able to take a plane.

Zhou Zhengan said very calmly: "Then take the train."

In this way, she and Zhou Zhengan got on the same train.

Jiang Nan didn't have the money to take a plane, but Zhou Zhengan casually chose to accompany him, he said: "You can see the scenery on the train that you can't see on the plane."

It was true, and as they traveled to the south, they passed through grasslands, highlands, mountain peaks, streams and rivers and lakes, yaks and sheep.

It's a long way to go, and the scenery is long.

When encountering good-looking scenery, Jiang Nan habitually took pictures with her mobile phone, and she told Zhou Zhengan that she would make postcards of good-looking scenery.

"You know how to draw?"

Jiang Nan nodded: "The scenery that people can encounter in a lifetime is limited, and I want to record them all."

Her eyes looked out of the window, her side face was quiet and soft, but it was very beautiful.

The person who asked the question didn't know that he was the most commonly recorded scenery of the girl in front of him, and he was also the person the girl was thinking about right now.

Zhou Zheng'an looked at her quietly and peacefully.

The train journey lasted for two days, and most of the people on the train, young and old, were a little tired.

Jiang Nan still felt a little sorry for Zhou Zhengan.

For the first meal after getting off the train, she originally wanted to invite Zhou Zhengan to eat a local meal to express her gratitude, but as soon as they got off the train, someone who came to pick up Zhou Zhengan greeted her at the gate of the train station.

The man was a young man, he looked as old as Zhou Zheng'an, and Zhou Zheng'an didn't know him, but he later learned that he was sent by the research institute to pick him up.

The young man was very enthusiastic, and he said to Zhou Zheng'an that he would come to eat with him in the hot pot bureau in the courtyard today.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Nan planned to leave alone.

As soon as she wanted to speak, Zhou Zhengan looked at her and said, "Let's go together?"

Jiang Nan was stunned: "Is it appropriate for me to go?"

"Just eating." Zhou Zhengan didn't care much about the extra meaning of this meal.

In the end, Jiang Nan still followed Zhou Zheng'an.

The hot pot in the south is different from the one in the north, where the soup made from popular plants is used as the raw material for the hot pot, and the dipping water is mostly a bowl of dried chili peppers.

Zhou Zhengan didn't adapt to it when he first came, but Jiang Nan had already adapted to it.

"You scoop a spoonful of the soup into a bowl and stir it with the dried chilies, it might be better." Jiang Nan said to him.

Zhou Zhengan did as she said.

The other people at the dinner table looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity and concern.

No one expected that this new young man would bring a girl over to his first dinner at the beginning of his official work, which was full of colleagues who were going to spend the next six months with him.

"Xiao Zhou, you didn't introduce us properly when you came in just now, this is your girlfriend?" In the end, it was the eldest gentleman in the room who couldn't help but open his mouth first, and his eyes looked back and forth at Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhengan.
