Chapter 37 Old Friends Reunion
As the car approached, Yan Nian felt inexplicably nervous.
Zhou Ran stuck his head out and greeted them.
There were not many parking spaces on the roadside, so Zhou Ran drove a short distance forward before finding a parking space and stopped.
He seemed to be in a good mood and raised his eyebrows at her, saying, "Get out of the car."
After getting off the car, she followed Zhou Hou, her view blocked. She only saw him open his arms and hug his childhood friend: "You are finally back."
At this time, Yan Nian also saw clearly the girl next to his childhood friend.
She is tall and has fair skin, big eyes and a lolita face. When she smiles, her lips are red and her teeth are white, making her look youthful and gorgeous. She is very beautiful.
His eyes met hers, and they smiled at each other as a greeting.
Yan Nian liked this girl at first sight, as if she was full of shining points. Her every frown and smile was unforgettable. She was inexplicably attractive and very contagious.
Yan Nian was a stranger, and she was the opposite sex brought by Zhou Ran. The two of them looked at her and waited for Zhou Ran to introduce her.
Zhou Ran introduced: "This is..." He paused, "My friend, Yan Nian."
Hearing this, Yan Nian looked at him in surprise, thinking that he would introduce her as his employee.
Zhou Ran introduced the two to her: "This is my good brother Wang Hongyu, and this is his fiancée, Cheng Xiao."
Yan Nian concealed his surprised look, and his eyes curved slightly: "Hello!"
Cheng Xiao responded enthusiastically: "Hello!"
Zhou Ran asked without hesitation, "Boss Cheng, did Aunt Ying cook beef today?"
Cheng Xiao greeted them with a smile: "It's done, come in!"
Yan Nian originally thought they were going to eat in a restaurant, but after entering the community, he realized that they were going to Cheng Xiao's home.
Wang Hongyu and Zhou Ran walked side by side in front of them and chatted.
Taking the elevator up, the house was bustling with activity. The hostess and mistress of the house were busy in the kitchen.
Zhou Ran took her in and said hello. After coming out, he handed her to Cheng Xiao and went to the balcony to chat with Wang Hongyu.
Cheng Xiao poured her some water and settled her on the sofa: "Sit down for a while, we'll have dinner later."
Yan Nian took the water: "Okay, thank you!"
Everyone in the house was very welcoming, and Yan Nian also put aside her awkwardness and sat on the sofa to watch TV.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Cheng Xiao ran over and opened the door: "Come in, no need to change your shoes."
The person at the door asked, "Sister, where is my brother?"
"It's inside!"
Yan Nian raised her eyes and looked towards the entrance. The girl who had just entered also saw her at this time. She stared at her for a long time before calling out her name: "Sister Yan Nian."
Yan Nian curved her lips calmly: "Shutong."
Wang Hongyu's biological sister takes her mother's surname and is named Zhao Shutong.
When Yan Nian first met her, she was still a young girl who had just graduated from junior high school. Around that time, she heard that she and a classmate had agreed to apply to the same high school, but her classmate broke the appointment. She was very depressed, and fearing being scolded by her brother, she would go to Zhou Ran every now and then to complain, and they often had midnight snacks together.
Now she has grown into a graceful young lady.
Cheng Xiao, who was standing aside, was slightly stunned and confused: "Do you know each other?"
"Yeah," Zhao Shutong nodded, as if seeing him meant he could see Zhou Ran. His face was still filled with astonishment as he asked, "Brother Ran is here too?"
Cheng Xiao pointed to the balcony: "Yeah, he's on the balcony with your brother."
Zhao Shutong came in and saw his brother and Zhou Ran chatting, so he didn't go over to interrupt them. He sat next to Yan Nian and asked, "Sister, when did you come back?"
Yan Nian replied: "It's been more than two months since I came back."
Zhao Shutong: "Oh! Then when are we leaving?"
Yan Nian: "I'm not leaving."
Zhao Shutong was surprised: "Are you really not leaving?"
"Well, I'm not leaving." Yan Nian asked, "How about you, how are you doing recently?"
Zhao Shutong curled his lips, his eyes full of resentment: "Prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination."
On the balcony, the two men talked about work and future plans, and then chatted idly.
Wang Hongyu looked at the person sitting on the sofa inside and asked solemnly, "What's going on?"
Zhou Ran placed his hands on the balcony railing, staring into the distance with a deep gaze. He smiled and asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Hongyu raised his chin: "The people inside."
No one knew what was going on between these two people better than him.
During those years in college, we were in different classes and dormitories and each had our own circle.
Zhou Ran suddenly fell in love and told him that unfortunately, the girl he liked lived in a northern city thousands of miles away, and they were in a long-distance relationship just like him.
Zhou Ran is the kind of person who easily becomes lax if no one is pushing him forward, even in college.
But he was very serious about the relationship. He remembered that they didn't date for long, but Zhou Ran was unable to get over it for a long time. She even ignored his advice, gave up the postgraduate entrance examination, and began a self-destructive training.
The fiery young man at the beginning has long since turned into a man with clear edges and corners.
Zhou Ran knew he would come to question him, so he smiled helplessly and said, "In my company?"
Wang Hongyu was puzzled: "Your company?"
"Yes, the translation team."
Afraid that Wang Hongyu would worry, he raised his lip and said, "I was introduced by an acquaintance. I didn't mean to get close to him. It's been many years."
Wang Hongyu looked at him calmly for a while, then scoffed, "Don't you dislike people with connections? Did you lay off your uncle's people?"
Zhou Ran laughed when he heard this and didn't answer.
His father is still arguing with him about the layoffs.
Zhou Ran changed the subject: "Your boss Cheng has changed a lot in recent years! He started his own company and expanded the family store into branches."
Wang Hongyu looked at the people inside, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised up: "I'm not as strong as her."
Zhou Ran asked, "Are you planning to come back and take over your uncle's business?"
Zhou Ran's mother and Wang Hongyu's mother have the same surname. Before Zhou Ran was born, the two families joked about arranging a baby marriage, but they didn't expect that both of them would be boys.
Later, when Wang Hongyu's mother had Zhao Shutong, she called Zhao Ning "Auntie", and the two of them followed suit tacitly.
Wang Hongyu turned around and looked at the scenery outside: "Yeah."

After dinner, the five young people went to the park outside to walk around and digest their food, while the elders chatted at home.
Zhao Shutong was still the chattering girl: "Brother Ran, my brother is getting married soon. When will I wait for you to give me a red envelope?"
Zhou Ran knocked her head and said, "You're still taking the postgraduate entrance exam? Even the first round is difficult. Just give up!"
Zhao Shutong was dissatisfied: "How could the first test be difficult?"
Zhou Ran smiled and said, "What about the retest?"
Zhao Shutong hit him: "Are you a devil?"
She subconsciously turned back and complained to Yan Nian: "Sister Yan Nian, please take care of him."
Yan Nianben walked alone in the middle of the four people, watching them playing with a slightly curved mouth. Hearing this, he put away the faint smile on the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhou Ran blankly.
She was just wondering if Zhao Shutong had misunderstood something.
Zhou Ran raised his hand and forcibly turned Zhao Shutong's head back: "Zhao Shutong, you can't change this bad habit, right? You act like a spoiled child to everyone you catch."
He then exposed her past: "I heard that your boyfriend is back. Bring him to meet me someday."
Zhao Shutong immediately turned his head and glanced back past Yan Nian. The two were holding hands and standing some distance apart.
Zhao Shutong pinched Zhou Ran hard: "If my brother hears this, I will break up with you."
Yan Nian followed behind with mixed feelings. After walking for a while, he began to feel pain in his heels.
She didn't feel comfortable disturbing their gathering, so she just stood there quietly, seeming a little out of place.
By the time Zhao Shutong ran to the back to chat with Cheng Xiao, it was already quite late. She quickly walked over to Zhou Ran and wanted to discuss going home with him: "Zhou Ran..."
Zhou Ran happened to receive a phone call and motioned her to wait.
Yan Nian immediately fell silent and stood aside waiting.
