The relationship between the two young people was exposed so easily.
Chen Zhou slept soundly all night, his dreams filled with the laughter of the Song family and several neighbors, and the occasional cacophony of Song Jianmin's laughter.
She woke up at five in the morning.
I opened my eyes, and it was pitch black outside the window.
Chen Zhou covered his face with his hands, writhing on the bed, and let out a scream: "Ah!!!"
The lingering sensation of her toes digging into the ground last night was still present in the soles of her feet.
Chen Zhou tossed and turned, then punched the pillow as if it were Song Jianmin!
She told him to let go, to let go! But he wouldn't listen!
Chen Zhou sighed, staring at the top of the bed curtains, and let out a helpless howl.
Last night, after Song Jianmin pulled Chen Zhou aside and ate a small piece of watermelon, Xu Guiying coughed twice and gave the rest of the Song family members a look, signaling them to go back.
Aunt Wang and Zhuo Huai and the others dispersed with smiles.
After Song Jianmin took Chen Zhou home, he remained silent and acted like a quail. After a while, he finally said to Chen Zhou, "It's okay, my parents are very supportive of us."
After kicking the people out, Chen Zhou quickly took a shower and went to bed, trying to convince himself to forget about it.
Chen Zhou's head was spinning from a night of complicated and chaotic dreams.
She stood up and splashed cold water on her face.
So what if everyone finds out?
It's a small matter, a small matter, a small matter.
Even if it's awkward, Song Jianmin should be the one to feel awkward.
She wasn't embarrassed, not embarrassed at all.
Chen Zhou steamed two buns in the morning and read a book. At seven o'clock, there was a knock on the door.
It was almost light.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Zhou asked in surprise, "Why are you here so early today?"
They usually go to school at 7:40.
Song Jianmin, in high spirits, said mysteriously to Chen Zhou, "There will be more people later."
Chen Zhou glared at him, "It's all your fault!"
After saying that, he turned and went inside.
Song Jianmin touched his nose and followed him inside.
Chen Zhou packed his schoolbag and handed Song Jianmin a steamed bun.
Let's go.
Song Jianmin helped Chen Zhou lock the door, and the two walked out together.
Song Jianmin: "Last night..."
Chen Zhou: "You..."
Song Jianmin: "You go first."
"No, you tell me."
Song Jianmin glanced at Chen Zhou's expression and said carefully, "I went home last night."
Chen Zhou raised an eyebrow and deliberately laughed at him, "Song Jianmin, you're quite something."
Song Jianmin: "Don't interrupt, I'm going to get down to business."
Chen Zhou: "...Please speak."
Song Jianmin stopped and said to Chen Zhou with a solemn expression, "I... Chen Zhou, after we get married, I will definitely treat you well."
Chen Zhou blushed slightly and gave a very soft "oh".
Song Jianmin's palms were sweating as he stared intently at Chen Zhou.
"And also... if I can't go home anymore, would you be willing to marry me? I promise I'll treat you well! I swear! I'll work hard, I have savings, we can buy a small house to live in first, and when we have children, we can hire a nanny to take care of them."
Chen Zhou's brow twitched slightly. "Song Jianmin, is this your proposal?"
Song Jianmin's expression changed slightly, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up. "It's not a proposal. I'm just asking you. A proposal should be a little more formal."
Chen Zhou couldn't help but laugh, staring at the shoe's surface, "I haven't even told you I want to marry you yet."
Song Jianmin's eyes widened slightly. "Chen Zhou, stop it. If you're not going to marry me, who else do you want to marry? Answer my question first."
Chen Zhou smiled and said, "You and Aunt Xu have separated from the family, so you probably won't be able to go home again."
Song Jianmin's expression froze, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He and his third brother had no one to blame but themselves; they brought it on themselves. If only they had been a little smarter back then…
Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it too much.
Song Jianmin continued to wait for Chen Zhou's reply.
Chen Zhou: "It was your fault to begin with. I knew that a long time ago. If you can go back, that would be a pleasant surprise. If you can't, then we'll just live our own lives."
Song Jianmin breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wide smile.
"I knew you would agree."
Chen Zhou scoffed, "Let's go, let's go to school."
The more Song Jianmin looked at Chen Zhou, the more he liked her. He cupped her face and gave her a big kiss on the forehead.
Song Anmin, who was out buying breakfast: "...You two, can't you find somewhere else to go!"
Song Jianmin: "Third Brother, good morning!"
Chen Zhou blushed and slapped Song Jianmin's arm, "Let's go!"
Song Jianmin quickly caught up with Chen Zhou, glancing at Song Anmin with a grin, raising his chin with extreme pride.
Song Anmin scoffed, "What's there to be proud of, you idiot?"
...
On the way to school, Song Jianmin kept talking.
They asked Chen Zhou what kind of wedding he preferred, whether he liked a son or a daughter, and whether he wanted to live in an apartment building or a courtyard house in the future…
Chen Zhou: "Stop talking, we'll be at school soon."
Song Jianmin: "I'll wait for you downstairs at the Second Teaching Building at 5:30 this afternoon."
Chen Zhou: "Understood."
Chen Zhou has two long classes this afternoon, which will last until after 5 p.m. Song Jianmin has no classes this afternoon and plans to read in the library while waiting for her.
After reading for a while and getting bored, Song Jianmin went out again. He went into a real estate agency and asked about houses in the vicinity.
The real estate agent was incredibly enthusiastic, introducing several apartments to Song Jianmin, but Song Jianmin wasn't very satisfied with any of them. After thinking it over, he still wanted to live in the kind of apartment in Heping Lane.
He thought to himself that he would ask Director Jiang if there were any vacant rooms when he got back that night.
After picking up Chen Zhou around 5 p.m., the two went to the night market for something to eat.
In December, when the weather got cold, Song Jianmin was persuaded by Chen Zhou to go out for hot pot.
