After Zhou Chaoyang finished praising Zhou Luancheng, he began to worry about his second brother again: "What do you think my second brother would do if he saw Xiao Ran? They used to have a really good relationship. When Xiao Ran was bullied, it was my second brother who protected her. My second brother must like her very much."
When she said that, Sheng An Ning started to worry: "What should I do then?"
Zhou Chaoyang scratched his head: "I hope they don't have the chance to meet. I'm really worried about this."
After playing with An An for a while, she felt that the sun was shining brightly outside, so she ran over to open the window. Then she was shocked and turned to look at Sheng An Ning who was cutting Zhou Zhou's nails: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I met her!"
When Sheng An Ning heard Zhou Chaoyang's anxious tone, she quickly put down the scissors and walked over. She saw Zhou Luancheng and Luo Anran standing under a locust tree on the side of the road. The young buds were sparse, and she could vaguely see the two people, but she couldn't see their expressions clearly.
Zhou Chaoyang was so anxious that he jumped up and down, and kept muttering in a low voice: "How could this be such a coincidence? What should I do?"
Sheng An Ning didn’t know either, but she would see him sooner or later, so the sooner she saw him, the sooner she would give up!
…
Luo Anran was so busy last night by Geng Aiguo that she didn't get up in the morning. She got up in the morning and wanted to ask for leave from the company, but she didn't expect to see Zhou Luancheng when she went out.
He stood there staring blankly at Zhou Luancheng, his heart knotted into a ball, feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable, tears welling up in his eyes.
Zhou Luancheng also stopped and looked at Luo Anran quietly. Finally, he said calmly, "Happy wedding to you."
Luo Anran collapsed at once: "Why didn't you write to me if you were okay? Why didn't you tell me? Do you think I will be happy?"
Zhou Luancheng's expression was still calm, without a ripple in his eyes, and his tone was still as gentle as the breeze: "I can't write a letter. An Ran, since you are already married, live a good life with Aiguo."
Luo Anran hated the fact that Zhou Luancheng was always so nonchalant. Nothing could make him angry, and he had never been anxious, let alone angry.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged. She stared at Zhou Luancheng stubbornly with tears in her eyes, refusing to wipe them away: "Zhou Luancheng, did you ever like me? Why aren't you sad at all? Do you know how I got through these years? Every day I fantasized that you would come back alive, but I was disappointed day by day. I had no choice but to marry Geng Aiguo, but you came back. Why couldn't you come back earlier?"
Even a few months earlier, she would not have married Geng Aiguo.
Zhou Luancheng's expression remained unchanged, and he reminded Luo Anran sensibly: "Since you are already married, you must learn to let go, stop saying any meaningless assumptions and ifs, and live a good life with Aiguo."
Then he turned and left.
Luo Anran also knew that she couldn't cry or make a scene in the courtyard. She didn't know how many eyes were watching her. She shouted at Zhou Luancheng's back with some grief and anger: "Zhou Luancheng, you have no heart at all."
Zhou Luancheng paused for a moment, shook his shoulders slightly, and walked away quickly.
Zhou Chaoyang was relieved when he saw Zhou Luancheng leave: "I was really worried that the two of them would start chatting and then cry."
Sheng An Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you thinking? This is in the compound. Even if they are sad, they can't do anything out of line. And I think your second brother can definitely handle this matter well."
At noon, Sheng Anning and Zhong Wenqing took the child to the yard to bask in the sun. The locust tree by the wall provided shade, and the sunlight shone through the delicate branches and leaves, casting a mottled glow that was warm but not strong.
There was a single bed in the yard, and the three children lay on it, kicking their legs and waving their arms.
Sheng An Ning sat by the bed, watching out for the bees to prevent them from flying over.
While they were basking in the sun, Zhou Luancheng came back from outside with a few boxes of snacks in his hands. Seeing everyone surrounding the children in the yard, he came over with a faint smile to say hello.
Zhong Wenqing looked at his son with a smile: "Why did you go to Guihuazhai to buy snacks?"
Zhou Luancheng smiled and handed the cake to Zhong Wenqing: "Didn't you say that Guihuazhai's cakes are better than Daoxiangcun's? I bought some of the same."
Sheng Anning was sitting next to Zhong Wenqing. The moment Zhou Luancheng handed her the pastry, she smelled a faint scent of tobacco.
I looked at Zhou Luancheng with some surprise, thinking that such a cool and refreshing man would not smoke.
Zhong Wenqing happily took the cake and called Zhou Luancheng into the house for tea: "Go play chess with your grandfather. My sister-in-law and I will be looking after the children in the yard."
After Zhou Luancheng entered the house, Zhong Wenqing opened the cake box and let Sheng Anning eat. "Their peach cakes and osmanthus cakes are the best. In the past, I would only buy a little during the Chinese New Year, and each child would get a small piece. Chaoyang is smart, and she would sneak in every bite of the peach cake, thinking that I wouldn't notice."
I couldn't help laughing when I thought about the previous scenes.
Sheng An Ning touched his son's little feet, but felt a little sad. This was a childhood that Zhou Shixun would never be able to participate in. How regretful he would be if he missed his child's growth again.
Sheng Cheng'an came over in the afternoon and saw that Zhou Luancheng's attitude had become much friendlier. The two chatted in the living room for a long time before going upstairs to see Sheng An Ning and the child.
Sheng Chengan looked over at the three sleeping children and asked Sheng Anning who was reading, "Did they all take a nap?"
Sheng An Ning nodded: "The child is asleep, aunt and the others should go and have a rest, otherwise it would be too tiring to watch over several children every day."
Sheng Chengan sat at the desk, took the book from Sheng Anning's hand, turned two pages, and sighed: "Zhou Luancheng is a good person, very cunning, and more thoughtful than Zhou Shixun."
Sheng An Ning rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, how can they be compared? Zhou Shixun and Zhou Luancheng grew up in different environments, and what's wrong with Zhou Shixun?"
Sheng Chengan was very puzzled: "Look at you, you are angry again, I didn't say anything bad about Zhou Shixun, right? I am just talking about the facts."
Sheng An Ning was still unhappy: "That won't work either. Anyway, it won't work. I think Zhou Shixun is the best. I don't compare him to anyone else."
Sheng Chengan thought about how Sheng Anning had been in a bad mood recently, so he quickly admitted his mistake in a good manner: "Okay, okay, I was wrong. Look at you, you are so talkative. Can we gossip about Zhou Luancheng now?"
Then, regardless of Sheng An Ning's reaction, he said to her: "Zhou Luancheng will definitely have a bright future. He is the type who will pursue a career in politics. However, he doesn't seem to care about these things. It's really comfortable to chat with him."
Sheng Anning was a little surprised: "Why do you think so highly of him?"
Sheng Cheng'an is a very picky person. For example, he had looked down on Zhou Shixun in many ways before. There are really few people who can catch his eye. Zhou Luancheng is probably the first person he has praised since he came into this world.
