A dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and heavy rain poured down without warning, like a huge waterfall, sweeping across the entire Sang'an County. Bursts of thunder were hidden in the dark clouds, making people's ears numb.

"Why is it raining so heavily suddenly?" Jiang Hongqin closed the door of the photo studio to prevent rain from seeping into the house.

"We didn't bring an umbrella, how are we going to get back later?" Su Nan was helping Master Kong pack up his camera and other materials. He raised his head to look at the dim environment outside, sighed softly, and was very worried.

Fortunately, the three little girls walked fast, otherwise it would have rained so heavily, and they would not know when they could return home.

"My child's father should be here to bring me an umbrella. Why don't you borrow one from Master Kong?" Jiang Hongqin came over to help move things. She was very strong and could lift the heavy boxes easily.

"Just take my umbrella back later and return it tomorrow." Master Kong heard their conversation and readily agreed to lend the umbrella.

"Thank you, Master Kong." Su Nan smiled sweetly and thanked him quickly.

Because it was raining so heavily, not many people came to the photo studio, so they had some free time. Su Nan curled up on the sofa and read a book. It was some Chinese and foreign miscellaneous notes lent to her by Master Kong. The content was very interesting and was enough to kill time.

No one came to the photo studio until it was almost time to get off work. Finally, someone came to the door, and he was a family member of an employee of the photo studio.

Sure enough, Jiang Hongqin's husband came to bring her an umbrella. Although it was not yet the stipulated time to get off work, Master Kong still decided to let Jiang Hongqin and her husband go back first.

After they left, only Master Kong and Su Nan were left in the photo studio.

"Let me help Sister Hongqin sweep the floor." Since there was nothing to do just sitting there, Su Nan stood up and put the book on the table. Then he went behind the counter, took out a broom, and started sweeping the floor.

"You should go back first too. It will be the same if you clean tomorrow." Master Kong was making tea with hot water. When he saw Su Nan's actions, he quickly spoke up to stop him.

"It's okay, I'll finish sweeping before leaving." Su Nan raised his head and smiled, then waved his hand nonchalantly.

Zhou Rang went back to Xiaojia Village this morning. She didn't know when her husband would be able to come back. Anyway, she would have nothing to do at home, so she might as well stay with Master Kong in the photo studio. It would be lonely for an old man to stay alone.

Master Kong didn't say anything else and let Su Nan sweep the floor.

When it was time to get off work, Su Nan packed her bag and prepared to go out with Master Kong's big umbrella, she saw a tall figure waiting on the side of the road. Her eyes lit up and she asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Rang curled his lips, took two steps forward, took her hand, and whispered, "I'm here to pick you up from get off work."

"I thought you would stay in Xiaojia Village for a few days before coming back, but I didn't expect you to stay for only a morning? Did you miss me so much after being away from me for a short while?" Su Nan tilted her head and poked Zhou Rang's arm with her index finger like a spoiled child.

Zhou Rang rubbed her head and agreed lovingly: "Yes, I miss you so much that my heart aches."

"Tsk, so corny." Su Nan rubbed the goose bumps on his arms with disgust, pretending to be unable to bear it, but his eyes couldn't help but curve.

"Wait a moment, I'll return the umbrella to Master Kong." Su Nan remembered something and pointed to the extra umbrella in his hand.

Zhou Rang took the bag from Su Nan's hand, nodded, and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you at the door."

Su Nan turned and went into the photo studio, put the umbrella back in place, and then said to Master Kong who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea: "Master Kong, my girlfriend is here to pick me up, I put your umbrella back in the cabinet."

Hearing this, Master Kong subconsciously looked towards the door of the photo studio and saw a tall man standing there. After noticing his sight, he nodded politely and greeted him.

He is a nice guy.

"Yes, Tuo, go quickly, don't keep people waiting too long." Master Kong withdrew his gaze and waved his hand to signal Su Nan that he could leave.

"See you tomorrow." Su Nan also waved, then jumped into Zhou Rang's arms, saying delicately, "I want to eat the minced meat and eggplant you made yesterday."

"Tsuyoshi, what else?" Zhou Rang put his arm around Su Nan's shoulders, letting her whole body be protected by the umbrella. He didn't care even though his own shoulders got wet.

Su Nan frowned in distress and looked at Zhou Rang, scratching his forehead: "Oh, everything you made is edible, and I can't make a decision for a moment, what should I do?"

"Then let's go back and draw lots?" Zhou Rang laughed. His low laughter lingered in Su Nan's ears, making her swallow her saliva.

"Laugh more, I love to hear you."

"Well...I'll laugh at you tonight."

"What? I want to hear it now."

"Are you sure?"

"It's night, huh."

The coward raised his hands in surrender in an instant, touched his burning cheek, coughed lightly, and sat upright: "Don't indulge in promiscuity in broad daylight."

When they arrived at their home on Wutong Street, Zhou Rang told Su Nan about an important event, which was that Xiao Fangyun and Lu Zechen were going to get married.

"How come it's so fast? Five days later?" Su Nan patted the mud on his trouser legs and looked up in surprise at Zhou Rang who was closing his umbrella, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Clearly, the last time they met, Xiao Fangyun hinted that they were just dating. How come in less than half a month, they have developed to the point where they are planning to get married, hold a wedding banquet, and enter into marriage?

She thought Liu Yucai would be the first one among them to get married, but she didn't expect that it would be Xiao Fangyun. It's really unpredictable.

"Yeah, I also heard it from Ding Mao after I returned to the educated youth point the other day." Zhou Rang hung the umbrella on the hook outside the corridor, turned and went into the room, took out a towel and helped Su Nan wipe his trouser legs.

Su Nan stood still obediently, letting Zhou Rang wipe her, muttering, "Actually, a quick marriage also has its disadvantages."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Rang, who was squatting at her feet, raised his eyes with resentment and looked at her pitifully, as if to say, "Flash marriage, what about us?"

"Ahem, that's based on the consent of both parents, right? Besides, although Yun'er hasn't reached the legal age for marriage and can't get a marriage certificate, this is a military marriage, which is protected by national laws and is guaranteed."

Su Nan explained seriously and reached out to touch the top of Zhou Rang's head to comfort him.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Zhou Rang hesitated whether to return to the army and give Su Nan a secure military marriage. However, if he returned to the army, he would not be as free as he is now and could not be with her anytime and anywhere.

So what should I do to make her agree to a "flash marriage" with me?

Zhou Rang helped her wipe her trouser legs and stood up, obviously in a bad mood: "Also, Xiao Fangyun asked me to tell you something. She said she wants you to go back and help her put on makeup."

Su Nan noticed Zhou Rang's little mood and couldn't help but smile: "Hey, I'll go back a day earlier then."

After saying that, she suddenly came close to Zhou Rang, blinked her long eyelashes, and said cunningly: "Do you really want to marry me?"
