After dinner, Han Wanying rode her bike directly to the county library. She had to make this play out to the fullest. She didn't plan to go back to her office today. She wanted to see what Lian Xueer could do.
After arriving at the library, Han Wanying continued to look at the books in the library. This time, Han Wanying did not pay attention to the books on mechanics. When Zhou Xinping brought water to Han Wanying, he saw that she was not in the original area, and the book she was holding was not the type she read before. He curiously went forward to check what book she was reading.
Just looking at the book next to Han Wanying, which was labeled with the two big characters "Jane Eyre", Zhou Xinping was surprised and said to Han Wanying with a smile, "Why are you reading this kind of book?"
Han Wanying looked up and saw Zhou Xinping, and replied, "I finally have a day off, so of course I'll read some good novels. I heard this novel is quite popular, so I'm curious to read it."
Zhou Xinping sat across from Han Wanying and said cheerfully, "What's up? Is there a boy chasing you lately? Or do you have a boy you like?"
Han Wanying looked at the book in her hand and said calmly, "No, I was just curious, so I came to take a look."
Zhou Xinping looked at Han Wanying and said with a smile, "It's okay. It's appropriate for you to be interested in this at your age. However, you have to be careful about marriage. Young girls like you are the most easily deceived nowadays. You can't just be attracted by someone's good looks. In this situation, you can't just look at the face, you have to look at the person, whether he is a good person, what his personality is like, how he treats you, and what his family conditions are like. You have to think carefully about all these things."
Han Wanying watched Zhou Xinping transform into an old woman and interrupted with a smile, "Grandpa Zhou, what are you thinking about? I'm really just curious. I don't have any plans in this regard right now."
Zhou Xinping looked at Han Wanying and saw that she didn't seem to be lying. Thinking of her usual behavior, he said in a long and serious tone, "But if there's a suitable one, you have to seize the opportunity. It would be such a pity if you missed it. Let me tell you, I got my wife because of my persistence. She had many suitors before, but in the end, I was the one who married her."
Han Wanying listened to Zhou Xinping's words, put down the book in her hand, and listened carefully to Zhou Xinping's past.
Zhou Xinping continued, "My wife and I were classmates. We went to college together. When I first entered the school, I saw her carrying her luggage. She was wearing a white dress and small leather shoes. It was a very hot day, but she still had a beaming smile on her face. At that moment, I felt I had fallen for her. Later, I went to ask about her."
"But later I heard that many people had tried to find her but failed. She said she wasn't considering it for the time being. I was about to give up, but then I ran into her again in the library. She sat across from me reading a book. At that moment, I mustered up the courage again and went up to ask for her contact information."
Han Wanying was listening intently. Seeing Zhou Xinping pause, she hurriedly asked, "Did Madam give you her contact information afterwards?"
Zhou Xinping slowly shook his head and said, "No, she still rejected me, but I didn't give up so easily this time. Just when I was about to give up, she sat down in front of me. Doesn't this mean we're destined to be together? From then on, every time I went to the library, she would take a seat across from me, and then when she came, she would make way for me."
"Just like that, we gradually became more familiar friends. We often read books together and discussed the plots in the books. Finally, before the holiday, I successfully got her contact information. During the holidays, we often chatted."
Han Wanying interrupted, "I don't believe it. Madam is obviously a shy girl. It's impossible for her to write to you on her own initiative."
Zhou Xinping glared at Han Wanying unhappily, "You know so much, do you still want to listen?"
Han Wanying quickly shut up, handed the tea on the table to Zhou Xinping, and then said obediently, "Please continue. I won't interrupt."
Zhou Xinping took the tea, took a sip, and then continued with satisfaction: "Ahem, of course, this is mainly because I wrote more, but we still often exchanged letters. Just like that, our relationship became better and better. After that, we often went to the library to study together. If she went early, she would save a seat for me, and if I went early, I would save a seat for myself."
"All our friends thought we were together, but in reality, we were just friends. I felt it wasn't the right time yet, so we just lived our college life like good friends."
"During the last semester of my senior year, my friends were all discussing where to go. I asked around to find out where she was going to work, but she finally told me she might be studying abroad, and her family had already made arrangements. She came to ask me what I thought, and I knew she hadn't reacted at all. She thought I had no opinion, so she was about to walk away disappointed."
Zhou Xinping smiled as he slowly said, "I don't know where I got the courage to express my feelings to her directly. Unexpectedly, she turned around, hugged me, and told me that she was interested in me too. That's how we expressed our feelings and got together."
Han Wanying watched Zhou Xinping stop again, handed him some tea, and asked, "So, Madam, did you not go abroad to study after that?"
Zhou Xinping rolled his eyes at Han Wanying, took a sip of tea and continued, "No, I went abroad with her. My family had already arranged a job for me, but when they heard I wanted to study abroad, they didn't agree. But after meeting her, they changed their minds and immediately arranged for me to study abroad. When I left, my mother secretly took my hand and said, "Xiaoping, you have to treat that girl well and protect her well. It's not easy for a girl to fall in love with you, and she's so nice, you have to treat her well." I didn't know how to refute her when I heard this, so I could only agree."
