After leaving the airport, the family had lunch and then went home to rest.
The whole family was exhausted from visiting relatives these days. Even Tian Caihua was too tired to visit the courtyard and needed a rest.
On the way home, Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying both fell asleep in the car.
The two girls were so excited that they went to bed very late last night. They chatted until almost two o'clock. They were also very excited on the plane. Finally, after they had their fill and got on the car, they couldn't hold it any longer.
Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengsen carried them out of the car without them knowing.
Zhang Rui, Ruan Tang and Zhang Fuyan knew that they needed to rest, so after sending them back, they said goodbye and left.
Zhou Chenglei: "Tell the old man that Xia Xia and I will go to see him in a few days."
Zhang Rui: "Okay, why are you being so polite? Grandpa said there's no need to go. It's rare for your whole family to come to Beijing, so you should accompany them around."
Mr. Zhang knew that their family was coming to Beijing today, so he arranged a car to pick them up at the airport.
Zhang Fuyan left the jeep to Jiang Xia, "Ruan Tang and I will go back in Zhang Rui's car."
Ruan Tang's family didn't have a car, so she took Zhang Fuyan's car to the airport.
Zhou Chengsen knew that Ruan Tang missed him and had been restless all day, so he said, "A Rui, you take Comrade Xiao Yan home, and I will take Xiao Tang home when the time comes."
After hearing this, Ruan Tang suddenly looked at him.
Zhou Chengsen looked at her: "Yingying brought you a gift."
Zhang Fuyan handed the car keys to Zhou Chengsen and said, "You drive Xiaotang home later. We'll leave first."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Zhang Rui: "See you tomorrow, little cousin."
Then Zhang Rui and Zhang Fuyan left tactfully.
There was no one else in the yard, so Ruan Tang asked Zhou Chengsen, "What gift did Yingying bring me?"
Zhou Chengsen: "Wait until Yingying wakes up and let her give it to you. Let's go! I'll take you back."
The two of them left the courtyard and got into the car together.
Ruan Tang said to Zhou Chengsen: "I don't want to go home so early, shall we go shopping?"
Zhou Chengsen put his hands on the steering wheel, started the car, and looked at her: "Where do you want to go?"
Ruan Tang was wondering where there was no one.
"Go to Ming Garden."
Zhou Chengsen glanced at her and asked, "Can I go in?"
"Yes, there used to be a production team growing vegetables there."
Zhou Chengsen: “…”
"It started to fail in the past two years, so we had to manage it."
At this time, Mingyuan had not yet been officially restored, but the remaining arches could be drilled freely.
When the weather is good, some people will fly kites over the ruins of the Western Building, and no one cares.
It's cold today, so there shouldn't be many people there.
This is the quietest place Ruan Tang can think of where she won't be disturbed by anyone.
Zhou Chengsen was not familiar with Beijing, but he had been there several times. He had a good sense of direction and knew some of the roads.
Ruan Tang reminded him: "You've taken the wrong path."
"Don't go there, go to Xiangshan Park."
Ruan Tang thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, she just wanted to find a place where there was no one, and Xiangshan Park was big, so she didn't believe that she couldn't find a place where there was no one.
The car drove to the vicinity of Xiangshan Park and found a place to stop.
There was no one in the parking lot.
Zhou Chengsen turned off the engine, walked over to the passenger seat, opened the door, and carried her out of the car.
Ruan Tang: “…”
Zhou Chengsen held her in his arms, like a big child, supporting her with his arms, letting her sit comfortably on his arms and lie in his arms.
Ruan Tang hugged him tightly and couldn't help but cry. At this moment, she felt particularly satisfied and at ease.
He always kept his distance from her and didn't dare to get even a little bit intimate with her. She felt that he was ready to end their relationship at any time, and she felt very insecure.
She knew he was respectful, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Especially after meeting her family, he left Jing City alone.
During the Chinese New Year, they only spoke on the phone on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, and then he had to go visit relatives. His grandparents lived in the mountains, there was no telephone, and there was not even electricity in the village.
They hadn't been in contact for two days. The people at home bothered her every day and were full of disgust towards Zhou Chengsen, so she had a big fight with them.
She didn't dare tell him and couldn't contact him, which made her even more uneasy.
These days, she couldn't help but worry that if her family still disagreed with his coming to Beijing this time, or even said something more extreme to him, would he be unable to help but break up with her.
She clearly knew before that he respected her and would not do anything too intimate with her, but during those few days, he deliberately kept a distance from her and was ready to withdraw and give up on her at any time!
Zhou Chengsen held her with one hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face with the other hand: "Don't cry."
The voice is hoarse.
Ruan Tang couldn't help but cry even more violently.
"Can you please stop talking! I can't hold it in anymore!" Ruan Tang became angry and raised her hand to wipe her tears.
Zhou Chengsen: “…”
He bent down to kiss her tears.
Ruan Tang: “…”
He didn't kiss her lips until her tears stopped flowing.
He didn't let her go until she couldn't breathe anymore.
Ruan Tang blushed, hugged him tightly, and buried her face in his chest.
Zhou Chengsen hugged her and stroked the back of her head: "Wait until you get to work and ask for approval of your marriage report, then we will go to get the certificate."
Ruan Tang looked up at him: "Aren't you waiting for my family's consent?"
Zhou Chengsen looked at her slightly swollen lips, his Adam's apple slid a little, and he pressed her head back to his chest and looked away: "No need to wait, you are more important."
Ruan Tang hugged him tightly again and buried her face in his chest.
Zhou Chengsen rubbed her head with his chin: "I just want to get your family's consent, not to wait for their consent. Going to meet them first is out of respect. I have shown respect, but I can't control whether they agree or not."
Zhou Chengsen: "Whether they agree or not, I will marry you. Marriage is a matter between you and me. It's up to you as long as you are happy. It has nothing to do with other people."
Ruan Tang hugged his waist tightly.
This time I feel completely relieved.
Zhou Chengsen held her tightly with one hand and gently touched her head with the other: "Do you want to walk around?"
It was impossible to go back now; her lips were too red.
"I don't want to move."
I just want him to hold me like this.
Zhou Chengsen understood what she meant. Without saying anything, he hugged her tightly, with his jawline and half of his face pressed against her head.
The fragrance of her hair filled my nose.
The two of them just hugged each other quietly.
This time, he didn't let go until she had hugged him enough and pushed him away.
After Ruan Tang let him go, she said, "I also want you to carry me around."
“…”
He turned his back to her and bent down.
Ruan Tang smiled and jumped onto his back.
Zhou Chengsen just carried her on his back and walked forward.
The two of them had dinner outside and had hotpot. Ruan Tang's lips were still swollen, so she couldn't go home so soon.
Zhou Chengsen called and said he would not go back for dinner, and then stayed with her until dark. Her lips were finally less swollen, which could be explained by eating too spicy food, and then he sent her home. (End of this chapter)
