11 Aperol Spritz

"I think Miss Zhou misunderstood, getting married is not something that can be done in a hurry."

Su Xiyue heard Zhou Yuan's words and replied with a light smile.

Su Xiyue heard Zhou Yuan's voice, and knew that she had misunderstood what he had just said.

Perhaps "need" is a better way to describe his current thoughts on marriage than "anxious".

It has nothing to do with Fengyue, nothing to do with love.

It's just needed, that's all.

"That's true." Zhou Yuan heard Su Xiyue's words and agreed with each other, feeling as if he had found a soulmate.

Because of the unpleasantness of the blind date with Cao Zheng, she hasn't forgotten it in a short time, which makes her involuntarily compare the two in her heart after meeting Su Xiyue now-

The same man, thinking and behaving in the world are simply worlds apart.

Zhou Yuan doesn't talk much on weekdays, but maybe it's a bit of a coincidence that she meets someone who has similar thoughts to her and is facing the situation of being urged to marry at the same time, she couldn't help but continue: "If only my family thought the same way." ”

"Is your family in a hurry?" Su Xiyue thought for a while and said lightly: "Professor Yue said that you were her student who graduated last year, so you should be 97?" ”

"I'm '98." Zhou Yuan's age is indeed small among students of the same level, and she is still the birthday of the second half of the year, "I went to school early when I was a child." ”

Su Xiyue didn't seem to understand why Zhou Yuan, who was born in 98, would also face the urging of his elders to marry.

Just then, the waiter interrupted their conversation.

The first thing to be served to the table by the waiter was a tiramisu.

Mr. Su actually likes to eat desserts?

Sure enough, people can't look good, how could Zhou Yuan never think that a man with an indifferent and noble appearance actually likes to eat desserts behind his back?

Tiramisu was placed in the middle of the table near Zhou Kite's position, and then a single set meal was served, the waiter seemed to be struggling with who to give, Zhou Yuan took the initiative to speak: "The set meal is for this gentleman." ”

The waiter put the single set meal in front of Su Xiyue, and finally served two glasses of sparkling water, one cup per person in front of Zhou Yuan and Su Xiyue, "This is the non-alcoholic grapefruit sparkling water for the two of you, your meal is ready, I wish you two a happy meal." ”

Zhou Yuan didn't expect Su Xiyue to order a drink for her.

Zhou Yuan once again realized that Mr. Su was not as indifferent as he looked out on, and he must be a very warm person on his heart.

Zhou Yuan lowered his head to bite the straw in the cup, and there was a pair of finger knuckle hands in his sight.

These beautiful hands have appeared in her sight more than once, and she wears a watch that looks like a lot of money on her wrist.

Unlike the last time she gave her tissues and warm water, this time, these hands pushed Tiramisu's plate to her hand.

"If you've eaten, you might as well have some dessert after your meal." Su Xiyue smiled lightly and said, "How can you let a girl just sit there and watch me eat without eating anything." ”

"Thank you......" Zhou Yuan's voice was very small, so small that it was almost inaudible.

It turned out that Mr. Su didn't like to eat tiramisu, it turned out that he ordered it for her.

Su Xiyue held the knife and fork in his hand, slowly cutting the steak on the plate, his fingers were distinctly jointed, and there was a faint green tendon bulge on the back of his hand, spreading to the forearm, hidden under his suit, and there was some indescribable ascetic temperament in his nobleness, and even the ordinary knife and fork could not be more ordinary had a trace of inexplicable charm in his hands, like the exclusive tableware of the medieval royal family.

If the blind date process is like this, then Zhou Yuan thinks that there should not be so many people in the world who reject and complain about blind dates.

The weather in March is also strange, the sky suddenly becomes gloomy, the wind becomes stronger, and the leaves are blown and swayed, as if it is going to rain.

Sure enough, the rain came quickly.

The dripping rain fell on the glass window, and the cloud slid downward, leaving a long mark.

The pleasing man sat across from him, and Zhou Kite's appetite did not deteriorate because of the weather, but became better.

Just when Zhou Yuan's appetite and mood began to be good, eating tiramisu one bite at a time, WeChat popped up one voice after another, all of which were from Zhou's mother.

Zhou Yuan felt that it might be a little rude to listen to the voice directly with Mr. Su when she was having dinner with Mr. Su, so she clicked on the voice to text.

Who knew that with an unconscious slip of his fingers, the voice directly clicked into the external mode.

[You must get married this year......]

Zhou's mother's rather strong voice was released without warning, Zhou Yuan panicked, and didn't have time to think about why Zhou's mother suddenly changed so much, so she quickly exited the chat dialog box with Zhou's mother.

It's embarrassing, isn't it?

Although the volume of Zhou Yuan's mobile phone was not high, she was sure that it was 100% sure that Mr. Su, who was sitting opposite her, must have heard it.

Zhou Yuan embarrassedly put the mobile phone screen upside down on the table, quickly glanced at Mr. Su, and then pushed his fingers behind his ears to hide the embarrassing situation of not knowing what to say at the moment.

Zhou Yuan thought to herself, if she were Su Xiyue, she might not be able to look as usual like him, as if nothing had been heard or happened, and even the posture of the meal was as standard as ever.

"Professor Yue won't rush you like that." Zhou Yuan opened his mouth as if laughing at himself.

"Hmm." Su Xiyue didn't deliberately pretend that he didn't hear the voice and didn't understand what Zhou Yuan said, so he naturally spoke, "Because they know that urging me is just doing useless work." ”

Zhou Yuan was inexplicably envious, she had been a student of Professor Yue for three years, and she thought that she still knew a little bit about Professor Yue's character.

In fact, she couldn't imagine that a woman like Professor Yue, who is perennially gentle and emotionally stable, would urge her son to get married, if she did, it must be in a tactful way, such as today, let her son go out for dinner, and she herself as the intermediary between the two of them, more just hoping that they would meet as friends, rather than a blind date in a very traditional sense.

But Zhou's mother is different, the man Cao Zheng introduced by her colleague has an obvious purpose, that is, to go on a blind date for marriage.

Zhou Yuan always thinks that Zhou's mother will not urge herself, and let her blind date is just that her colleagues' children are married, so she is a little anxious in this atmosphere, but her colleagues can't have children get married every month for twelve months a year, as long as this period of time passes, Zhou's mother's mood of urging marriage has also faded, and she will naturally turn over this page.

Judging from the voice that Zhou Yuan didn't listen to just now, it doesn't seem to be what she thinks she is.

Su Xiyue said lightly: "Whether you are married or not, it depends on yourself, don't hand in a sloppy answer sheet because of the urging of your elders." ”

Zhou Yuan once again agreed with Su Xiyue's words, "So, Mr. Su is not in a hurry to get married now, but he has the idea of getting married?" ”

Su Xiyue bowed slightly, "I grew up with my grandparents, my grandmother was sick, and she wanted to see me get married. ”

Zhou Yuan was stunned, she didn't expect that Mr. Su would want to get married for such a reason.

He was still telling her just now: Don't hand in a scribbled answer just because the elders urge her.

But he seemed to be sitting in the examination room, scribbling his name and preparing to answer the sheet.

People sometimes contradict themselves.

Reassuring others is one way to say, but doing it yourself is another.

Why is this not the case sometimes?

Just now she was still thinking that with her understanding of Professor Yue, Professor Yue would definitely not be the kind of mother who urged marriage, but who knows what the truth is, even Mother Zhou, in the eyes of outsiders or even relatives, no one will believe that she is the kind of person with a strong desire to control.

Thinking about it this way, she and Mr. Su, in some places, are quite similar.

Zhou Yuan replied to him: "I can understand. ”

The rain was still falling, dripping to the ground, and the ground was damp.

Zhou Kite's mobile phone ringtone was very abrupt in the pouring rain.

It was Zhou's mother who called.

Zhou Yuan got up from his seat, "I'm sorry, I'll go out and answer the phone." ”

She walked to the waiting area at the door of the restaurant, "Mom, what's wrong?" ”

"You didn't see the voice I sent you." Zhou's mother saw that Zhou Yuan was reluctant to reply to her, so she specially called, and Zhou's mother's tone was tough that could not be concealed: "Kite, you are in your twenties this year, and if you can get married, you must get married." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuan sighed, "How can I get married this year, it's not like I said that I can get married if I can get married." ”

Mother Zhou's tone was a little serious: "Do you remember Aunt Huang?" ”

Zhou Yuan didn't react for a while, and replied reflexively: "It's a colleague in your class again?" The child is getting married? ”

Mother Zhou was a little anxious: "What, no, it's Huang Lanxiu, Aunt Huang!" ”

"Aunt Huang, I remember." Zhou Yuan let out an "ah" sound, and suddenly said, "What's the matter, Aunt Huang came to 'borrow' money again?" ”

Aunt Huang Lanxiu Huang is Zhou's mother's high school classmate, they are not in the same school in college, but the relationship is not bad, even after marriage, the contact is quite frequent, Aunt Huang gave birth to a son, one year older than Zhou Yuan, when Zhou Yuan was born, they even joked that they would let the child be a baby in the future.

Ms. Huang and her husband ran a supermarket with a decent income, and later opened two chain branches.

But the good times didn't last long, and Aunt Huang's husband got together with a newly recruited employee at a branch.

How did Huang Lanxiu find out?

Or because of Zhou's mother.

It was about ten or twenty years ago, Zhou's mother was in a car accident while performing a task, and she urgently needed a blood transfusion, Zhou's mother was AB type, and it happened that the AB blood stock in the hospital was insufficient at that time.

Also at the hospital this time, Huang Lanxiu accidentally bumped into her husband and brought the clerk of her branch to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

The two talked and behaved intimately, and they had long exceeded the boundaries between ordinary employees and bosses.

Huang Lanxiu quietly followed, only to find out that the woman was actually three months pregnant!

Huang Lanxiu was stimulated and fainted in the hospital, and when she woke up, her temper and mental state were much worse than before.

Her husband knelt in front of the hospital bed and begged for her forgiveness, and it was then that she learned that her husband had come to accompany the clerk to have an abortion.

At that time, I thought in my heart, what a disgusting man, irresponsibly made the girl's belly bigger, and irresponsibly let the girl beat it off, and what is even more disgusting is that this man turned out to be her husband.

Her son is still young, and in order for the child to have a normal family, Huang Lanxiu did not choose to divorce.

But derailment, which is like a thing in the throat, is not something that can be forgotten.

Even if you pretend that nothing happens, you can't hide the fragile home that is about to be lit.

Zhou's mother only learned about this after she was discharged from the hospital.

After she was discharged from the hospital, she gave gifts and red envelopes to every friend and colleague who donated blood to her, even if the other party didn't want it, Zhou's mother also gave them strongly.

After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that they saved her life.

In fact, Zhou's mother is very grateful to Huang Lanxiu, who is a friend she has known for many years, a future in-law that she talked about in a joke, and a savior of her life.

But it was also from this time that the relationship between Huang Lanxiu and Zhou's mother was no longer as pure as before.

Some friends are jealous of each other, and they used to have a very happy marriage and family, so no one would envy anyone.

But now, Huang Lanxiu looked at Zhou's mother and Zhou's father's happy family of three, and couldn't help but compare with herself.

It's just that she hides it very well and can't see much difference, and Zhou's mother doesn't care about the details, so she doesn't notice it.

But Huang Lanxiu's husband was obsessed with playing cards again, and he went to the chess and card room every day for a day, and a lot of money in the family was used to gamble, and Huang Lanxiu later began to borrow money from Zhou's mother.

Due to the two-layer relationship between friends and life-saving benefactors for many years, Zhou's mother did not let Huang Lanxiu write an IOU.

Huang Lanxiu would repay it at first, but later, it began to become more borrowed money and less repayment.

Within a few years, she and her husband divorced, but most of the family's property was also lost by her husband, and she was alone with her son, and life was very poor.

Her relationship with Zhou's mother has also begun to change from meeting often to contacting each other every Chinese New Year.

During the New Year's greetings, everyone was harmonious, and no one took the initiative to repay the borrowed money, but Huang Lanxiu always intentionally or unintentionally introduced the topic to her blood transfusion to Zhou's mother, saying that if it wasn't for her blood transfusion, she would not find out that her ex-husband was cheating, and then turned the topic to Zhou Kite, praising how good Zhou Kite was, and finally talking about the two children's dolls.

It has the meaning of taking the joke that was once unintentional into reality.

Zhou's mother said, "No, it was your Aunt Huang who returned all the money she had borrowed over the years." ”

Zhou Yuan didn't understand: "Then you called me to say?" ”

"I didn't ask for Aunt Huang's money, she saved me once, and it has not been easy for her over the years." Mother Zhou paused, "But today, she talked about you and Fang Zhendi again." ”

Fang Zhendi is the son of Aunt Huang, who dropped out of high school, and later studied a junior college casually, and opened an auto repair shop after graduation.

"Oh my God, isn't Aunt Huang still thinking about the baby's kiss?" Zhou Yuan's back was cold, Fang Zhendi she had seen it when she was studying, smoking, drinking, fighting, all the types she didn't like, and he was about the same height as her.

"I want you to meet." Zhou's mother said a little angrily, "I also said that she could get the certificate after meeting a few times, and she could say it!" ”

Zhou Yuan: "So you ......"

Zhou's mother: "I said that you are in love, and your relationship with your boyfriend is very stable......"

Zhou Kite: ". ”

Zhou's mother continued: "I'm going to get married this year. ”

Zhou Yuan: "I don't have to get married if you say that, Aunt Huang knows that I'm going to get married this year." ”

"Your Aunt Huang said that the feelings of young people are also unstable now, and if you get married, you have to come to drink happy wine." Zhou's mother was not very happy, "What she meant in her words was that if you break up, you will meet his son." ”

"Her son fought and went to the police station, and he was not honest since he was a child." Mother Zhou said very seriously: "I don't want you to find this kind of person as my son-in-law." ”

Zhou Yuan didn't understand: "Then do I have to find someone to marry in order not to go on a blind date with her son?" ”

"You also know that your Aunt Huang always talks about blood transfusions." There was a hint of melancholy in Zhou's mother's tone, "She always said that back then, she rushed together, and I said that you were going to get married this year." ”

Zhou Yuan didn't say anything more, in fact, she had heard her words many times since she could remember, Aunt Huang was in business, and she was very good at speaking, and the Zhou family didn't feel good about what she said.

Between the words, she can also understand Mother Zhou, after all, Aunt Huang saved her once.

The rain was still dripping, and the air smelled damp.

Su Xiyue sat lazily in his position, even if he was sitting there, the slim suit showed his figure at a glance, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, slender legs naturally overlapped, and deep eyes looking out of the window.

He didn't expect to see Zhou Yuan again today, nor did he expect her to be his mother's student.

The last time he saw her in the hallway, it was when Professor Yue and his father wanted to see the cat, so he took Lancet home.

Lancet liked to be carried up the stairs by him, so he didn't choose to take the elevator that day.

Because of this, he overheard her conversation with the owner of 1102 in the quiet hallway.

When he hadn't seen Zhou Kite's appearance, he could outline that it must be a rigorous and serious girl who would never be perfunctory.

After all, if you were someone else, you might continue to say it according to the owner's wishes.

But she didn't.

Su Xiyue has been nurtured by his mother since he was a child, so he understands everything Zhou Yuan said and understands the greatness of women in history.

Su Xiyue is also a doctor who saves lives.

He won't see someone hurt in front of him and ignore it.

Lancet seemed to be in a more anxious hurry than him, and couldn't wait to get out of his arms, moving his paws, wanting to get to Zhou Kite's side.

Although Zhou Yuan was splashed with juice that day, there was anger, fear, and anger in her eyes, but there was no sadness and brokenness.

It's not like it is now—

Zhou Yuan came in from the door of the restaurant, the occasional splash of raindrops wet the broken hair on her forehead, just went out to answer a phone call, she looked a lot haggard, she wore a white slim dress, the prominent waist was full of hand, her hair was scattered on her shoulders, under the hair strands, her collarbones were looming, and her hair swayed gently with the wind when she walked.

She has a pair of eyes that can speak, but somehow, Su Xiyue actually read broken in her eyes.

From the moment Zhou Yuan hung up her mother's phone, her heart was cold.

After the divorce, Aunt Huang's personality became more unpleasant, and sometimes she was stubborn and terrible.

She was really afraid that Aunt Huang would lead her son to their house, even if she wouldn't have any contact with Fang Zhen Digan, she would be made known by Aunt Huang to the point where the neighborhood was known.

Zhou Yuan suddenly had an idea in his mind, that is, to find someone to "fake marriage", which sounds like a good choice.

When she had this thought, what appeared at the same time was Su Xiyue's face.

Yes, there is no one more suitable than him.

They also don't want to get married, and they also deal with their elders, so they should have a lot in common in this regard.

The rain turned the layers of leafy leaves outside the window green, and the rain fell to the ground along the leaves, causing small waves of water.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, accompanied by the sound of the rain, relying on the only impulse left in his mind, he blurted out as if he was afraid that he would regret it in the next second: "Mr. Su, are you married?" You and me, us. ”
