The next day, Xidan.

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. There are not many shops open in Xidan, which is usually bustling. However, I tried to find one or two shops that were still open.

There were people coming and going on the street, chatting and calling people, preparing to visit relatives and friends.

Jiang Zhiyi stood at the entrance of Yunmengze, looking at the gate of Yunmengze.

Jiang Zhiyi had always known about this entertainment venue opened by Jiang Zhida, but because she was in Guangzhou at that time and did not come back, and later went abroad, she had never really visited Yunmengze.

Seeing Yun Mengze now, Jiang Zhiyi's first reaction was shock. This entertainment venue was more high-end than the one she saw in Guangzhou, and it did not give people a sense of impropriety. Instead, it made some people who were not upright themselves stay away.

As she was watching, a familiar sound of footsteps sounded behind her. Jiang Zhiyi's body froze, and she suddenly felt homesick.

She wanted to turn around, but her feet seemed to be fixed, and she couldn't turn around at all.

"Zhiyi."

The restraints on Jiang Zhiyi seemed to be broken all of a sudden, and her body regained consciousness, and she slowly turned around.

Qian Ran, wearing a dark gray coat, stood one step behind her, looking at her deeply with eyes full of familiar affection.

Jiang Zhiyi's emotions could no longer be controlled. Her nose suddenly felt sore and tears immediately burst out.

"Brother Xiaoran, I'm sorry."

Qian Ran suddenly sighed, took a step forward and hugged Jiang Zhiyi into his arms, gently patting her back: "You know, I have never blamed you."

Jiang Zhiyi clutched his clothes tightly in front of her chest, and cried in his arms, unable to speak a complete sentence.

"I... I know, but... but I... blame myself."

Qian Ran's hands suddenly tightened, and the pain in his heart seemed to be smoothed out by just this one sentence.

He was always so soft-hearted towards Jiang Zhiyi.

"That's your job, don't blame yourself, stop crying."

Jiang Zhiyi: "I... I can't stop."

Qian Ran smiled helplessly, hugged her and let her cry, and the two didn't speak to each other.

Yunmengze is open today. Employees who work today can get triple wages and double bonuses, so many employees take the holiday to work.

The security guard on duty standing at the door watched the two hugging each other for a long time. They looked at each other, their eyes full of gossip.

But because they were working, they stood straight without any other movements.

Jiang Zhiyi finally cried enough. In the past few days since she came back, it seemed that she had shed all the tears she had saved in the past few years.

She let go of Qian Ran, looked at the large area of ​​his coat soaked with tears, and covered it with her hand, trying to hide it, and looked up at Qian Ran: "I didn't mean it."

Qian Ran tapped her head lightly: "Even if you did it on purpose, so what, I won't blame you. Let's go for a walk."

"Okay." Jiang Zhiyi nodded, and Qian Ran naturally took her hand and walked on the street of Xidan.

There was an open-air billiard table on the street, and young people gathered there to play billiard. There were also many children running around on the street, throwing firecrackers at will.

From time to time, the sound of firecrackers was heard by someone's house, and the atmosphere of the New Year was all around. Jiang Zhiyi exhaled a breath of white air, these were all things she was most familiar with, and the whole person was very relaxed.

Qian Ran didn't sleep much the whole night after watching TV with Jiang Zhiyi last night. He didn't know what was waiting for him.

Heida only knew that Jiang Zhiyi was coming back, and he didn't know what her plan was.

Qian Ran was afraid that he would get an answer he didn't want, but he had to come. No matter what the result was, he and Jiang Zhiyi had to talk now.

But when he saw Jiang Zhiyi, Qian Ran couldn't say anything in his heart, and he didn't want to ask her what she thought. He just wanted the two of them to keep walking like this.

After walking for a while, Jiang Zhiyi looked at Qian Ran: "Brother Xiaoran, why don't you ask me why I came back?"

Qian Ran was silent and said, "I dare not ask."

Jiang Zhiyi's bitterness reached its peak. In her heart, Qian Ran has always been a confident person. Although he is less talkative than Jiang Zhida, he has never said anything he dared not to say since he started doing business.

Jiang Zhiyi looked at Qian Ran, trying to hide the bitterness in her heart. She smiled at Qian Ran: "I came back because I missed my family, and I missed you too."

Qian Ran couldn't help but tighten his hand holding Jiang Zhiyi's, and his breathing paused: "Zhiyi, did I hear you wrong?"

Qian Ran's tone was a little cautious. He was really afraid that he had misunderstood Jiang Zhiyi's meaning. He had waited too long in the past few years.

"No. I won't leave in the future, I will stay in Beijing."

Jiang Zhiyi no longer let Qian Ran guess, and gave him a positive answer directly. In these years, the person she felt most sorry for was Qian Ran.

Qian Ran took a deep breath and suddenly hugged Jiang Zhiyi in his arms. He used great strength, as if he wanted to embed Jiang Zhiyi into his body.

His hands were shaking a little, and the veins in his hands were all tense. Qian Ran was trying hard to restrain himself from being too excited.

Jiang Zhiyi also hugged him back tightly, understanding his excitement.

"Zhiyi, this is the best blessing I have heard in the New Year."

Jiang Zhiyi smiled and patted him: "Then can I tell you once a year in the future?"

Qian Ran took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions, then let go of Jiang Zhiyi, took her hand, looked into her eyes and asked: "Are you serious?"

"Yes!" Jiang Zhiyi nodded without any hesitation, calming the uncertainty in his eyes.

Qian Ran nodded: "Okay, you said it."

Jiang Zhiyi wanted to take a closer look at the look in Qian Ran's eyes, but before she could see it, Qian Ran pulled her and ran: "Follow me."

His tone was very urgent, as if there was something very important waiting for them ahead.

Jiang Zhiyi was confused by his behavior, but she still ran after him, and asked: "Where are you taking me?"

Qian Ran did not answer: "I won't sell you out, you will know when you get there."

He took Jiang Zhiyi to where he parked his car, opened the door and let Jiang Zhiyi get in.

Although Jiang Zhiyi was confused, she had been brave once, so it didn't matter now. Besides, she also wanted to know what Qian Ran was going to do.

After Qian Ran waited for Jiang Zhiyi to sit down, he opened the driver's door and sat in. He leaned over to fasten Jiang Zhiyi's seat belt and started the car.

Jiang Zhiyi looked at the road ahead, and the more he looked, the more familiar it became.

"Brother Xiaoran, isn't this the way to your house?"

Qian Ran nodded: "Yes, are you scared?"

If Jiang Zhiyi said he was scared now, Qian Ran would turn around immediately and would not drive any further.

"I'm not scared."

Jiang Zhiyi understood what Qian Ran was going to do, but she was not scared at all.

"But Brother Xiaoran, if I want to meet your parents, I hope to buy something before going. I don't want your parents to misunderstand that I don't know etiquette."

On the first day of the new year, who would visit the elders without bringing New Year gifts?

Qian Ran: "It's in the trunk of the car."

Jiang Zhiyi widened her eyes and looked at him in surprise: "You are actually ready, have you already decided to bring me to meet your parents?"

Qian Ran didn't hide it from Jiang Zhiyi at this time, and said "hmm".

"There are only two possible results for coming to see you today. One is that we will separate from now on, you go back to work abroad and I will..." "

Stop, there is no such assumption!"

Before Qian Ran finished speaking, Jiang Zhiyi interrupted him, and Qian Ran laughed out loud, with unfaithful joy in his eyes.

"Okay, the other option is that you have to spend the rest of your life with me. I was thinking last night, if this is the case, then I will take you home to meet my parents right away, I want to settle down with you as quickly as possible, and then get married."

When Qian Ran said the last sentence, his eyes looked at Jiang Zhiyi, not hiding his impatience at all, his determination to win.

Jiang Zhiyi: "So you prepared the New Year's gift in the trunk in advance?"

Qian Ran nodded and said "yeah", he would not let Jiang Zhiyi be rude in front of his parents, he wanted to live a good life with Jiang Zhiyi, and the blessing of his parents was indispensable.

Jiang Zhiyi's face instantly blossomed with a smile: "Brother Xiaoran, I'm so happy."

She was happy about Qian Ran's feelings for her, happy that Qian Ran was thoughtful and considerate of her, and happy that he wanted to spend his life with her.

Jiang Zhiyi was extremely glad that she decided to come back at this moment. If she didn't come back, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.

The car soon stopped in front of Qian Ran's parents' house. His family lived in a separate courtyard, and his parents lived on the second floor.

Qian Ran also bought a courtyard house in Beijing, and he bought it with Jiang Zhida.

Jiang Zhida had this idea when he bought the courtyard house in early summer, and later he found a few suitable ones, and they all bought them when they got along well.

In addition to the courtyard house, there are other properties. Just as Chuxia said, if she wants to open a store in the future, she won’t have to worry about where to find a suitable house to open a store if she has a house.

Chuxia bought a house near Cen Huaian’s school, thinking that Cen Huaian might need it in the future.

She did not buy houses indiscriminately. She bought what she could use and did not hoard what she could not use.

Chuxia and Zhishu Jiang cooperated to develop a lot of ointments, cosmetics and skin care products. There were dividends from these, as well as dividends from Yun Mengze. She was not short of money.

When she and Cen Zhengnian retired, she thought about finding a place to live that was not so noisy around, not far away and with various convenient facilities. When she had nothing to do, she would go out for a walk, see the scenery of the capital, and enjoy life.

Thinking of days like this, Chuxia has an urge to retire impatiently.

The courtyard house that Qian Ran bought is also very large. He had wanted to let his parents move in before, but his parents were used to living in the family compound, and the second floor was not very high, so they were unwilling to move.

Jiang Zhiyi followed Qian Ran to his doorstep and then she became nervous. In fact, she had met his parents. After all, Qian Ran grew up with Jiang Zhida, and his home was not far from Jiang Zhida's home.

"Brother Xiaoran."

Jiang Zhiyi held Qian Ran's hand tightly. Qian Ran's other hand was full of things, so he used the hand that was holding her hand to rub the back of her hand with his thumb to comfort her.

"You've met my parents, and you know their tempers."

Jiang Zhiyi knew all this, but she still couldn't control her panic.

"Who is it?"

There were footsteps in the door, and the next second the door was opened. It was Qian Ran's mother. She saw Qian Ran and Jiang Zhiyi standing together, and looked at Jiang Zhiyi in confusion: "Zhiyi, when did you come back? How did you run into Xiao Ran? Come in, come in."

As she was about to hold Jiang Zhiyi's hand, she lowered her head and saw Jiang Zhiyi and Qian Ran holding hands. She stopped moving and looked up in surprise, looking at Qian Ran and then at Jiang Zhiyi.

"You...what are you doing?"

Qian Ran smiled and raised his and Jiang Zhiyi's hand: "Mom, as you can see, Zhiyi and I are dating, and we want to get married in the future."

Qian's mother was stunned for a moment, but soon came to her senses, and smiled instantly, looking at Jiang Zhiyi with endless kindness.

"Hey! This is a good thing, Zhiyi, come in quickly, Xiaoran didn't tell us about this, I didn't know. If he had told us earlier, why would I still worry about his marriage?"

Qian's mother was so happy that she didn't know what to do. Qian's father heard the conversation between the few people and also smiled.

Qian's father is different from Jiang's second uncle. He is really good-natured. He likes to laugh at everyone he meets and loves to help others. He is a good person. Uncle Jiang's smile always carries some other meanings, and his personality is more smooth. The

one who has the final say in the Qian family is Qian's mother. She is busy pouring water and serving fruit snacks, and putting all kinds of melon seeds and candies in front of Jiang Zhiyi.

"Zhiyi, eat. I remember that you loved this kind of snack when you were a child, and I happened to have prepared a lot for the New Year."

"Thank you, Aunt Qian." Jiang Zhiyi was not nervous, because Qian's mother and Qian's father were still the same as she was familiar with. She picked up a piece of her favorite snack and ate it. She didn't eat much for breakfast and was hungry now.

"I heard Zhiyi is a reporter now?"

"Yes." Jiang Zhiyi nodded: "I used to work in Guangzhou and abroad, and I will work in Beijing after the New Year."

Mother Qian's smile became bigger: "Beijing is good, you grew up in Beijing, you are familiar with the work here, and you don't have to worry about being bullied."

Jiang Zhiyi smiled and nodded, no matter whether she really thought so or not, she agreed with what Mother Qian said, which made her very happy.

Qian Ran was originally a quiet and gentle person, and he spoke even less at this time, only saying a few words when he needed to supplement, and mainly serving Jiang Zhiyi and his mother food.

As they chatted, they talked about marriage. Mother Qian used to sigh when she talked about Qian Ran's marriage, but now she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Nowadays, the elders listen to your opinions on marriage, and Xiao Ran's father and I respect you. You can do whatever you want, we are not in a hurry."

Mother Qian thought well, as long as her son has a partner, marriage is a matter of time, she doesn't need to urge.

The two children have a good relationship, and they will be willing to get married when the time comes.

"Mom." Qian Ran spoke at this time: "I will discuss this with Zhiyi."

"Okay, okay." Mother Qian saw Jiang Zhiyi blushing, young and thin-skinned, it is normal to be shy when talking about marriage.

"Zhiyi, have dinner here today. I remember that you loved the food I cooked when you were a child. Tell me what you want to eat today, and let me show you my cooking skills."

Dad Qian nodded happily and said, "Usually, if Xiaoran and I want to eat your aunt's specialties, it depends on her mood. Today we are thanks to Zhiyi."

Mom Qian nodded, "Of course, can you compare with Zhiyi?"

Jiang Zhiyi is not picky about food. She had no conditions to be picky about food when she was a child. After growing up and living abroad for a few years, she eats whatever is available. Being picky about food will make you hungry.

Mother Qian said, "Then I'll watch and do it. Dad, you come and help me. Xiaoran, you stay with Zhiyi."

Jiang Zhiyi offered to help, but Mother Qian refused, saying that it was enough to have Dad Qian around.

After the two elders entered the kitchen, Qian Ran asked Jiang Zhiyi, "Do you want to watch TV?"

Jiang Zhiyi shook her head, "No, I don't want to watch it. I want to talk to you."

She hugged Qian Ran's arm and leaned on his shoulder.

Qian Ran touched her head, "Are you tired?"

Jiang Zhiyi shook her head, "No, I just want to lean on you and chat with you for a while."

"Then let's go to my room."

"Okay."

Qian Ran usually cleaned his room by himself. Since he followed Jiang Zhida to do business in Guangzhou, he stayed here less often.

There were many books in it, as well as various toys he liked to play with when he was in school.

Jiang Zhiyi saw something familiar to her, pointed at it and asked him with a smile: "Did you also play with spinning tops when you were a child?"

Qian Ran turned his head to look over and nodded: "There was nothing fun at that time."

There was only one chair in the room, Qian Ran asked Jiang Zhiyi to sit on the bed.

Jiang Zhiyi patted his bed. He had laid a lot of soft bedding.

"Are you living here now too?"

"You know, I usually stay in Guangzhou, and I don't live in a house when I come back to clean up."

Qian Ran opened the cabinet and took out a bag of snacks for Jiang Zhiyi.

Jiang Zhiyi looked at the cabinet: "You don't put all food here, do you?"

Qian Ran laughed: "Most of it is. You can pick whatever you want to eat."

When she worked in Yangcheng before, Jiang Zhiyi knew that Qian Ran liked to store food. He wanted to eat when he felt tired at work.

If he hadn't been exercising all the time, he would have a lot of fat on his body.

But Qian Ran kept a good figure. Jiang Zhida and his group of people were all over 30 years old, but they didn't have the greasy feeling of other men. They were still fresh and handsome, and even had a more mature taste, which made them more attractive. Jiang Zhiyi

really went over to pick and found her favorite small cake to eat. But she didn't eat much, because she had to eat later.

"Zhiyi, I have something to tell you."

The cakes were small and could be swallowed in one bite. After Jiang Zhiyi swallowed one, he spoke unclearly and asked, "Go ahead."

Qian Ran's throat rolled and he looked at Jiang Zhiyi seriously, which made Jiang Zhiyi stop eating involuntarily because his attitude was too serious.

Qian Ran held Jiang Zhiyi's hand, "Zhiyi, I don't know if you have the idea of ​​getting married now, but I want to marry you. If you are willing, I will discuss with my parents today to go to your house to give the betrothal gift. If you are not willing, I can continue to wait."

Qian Ran has been thinking about this since just now. He doesn't want to wait any longer. He is afraid that if he waits any longer, he will not have the courage to speak.

"Okay."

Qian Ran thought that if Jiang Zhiyi refused, he might be disappointed, but he shouldn't be too disappointed, because Jiang Zhiyi gave him enough surprises today.

But when Jiang Zhiyi really agreed, Qian Ran's first reaction was to stand there in a daze, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"What?"

Qian Ran asked again in disbelief.

Jiang Zhiyi tilted her head and looked at Qian Ran with a smile, "I said okay, let's get married, we..."

Before she finished speaking, Qian Ran hugged her tightly: "Zhiyi, I'm so happy, I've never been so happy as today!"

Qian Ran didn't dare to think about his future with Jiang Zhiyi before, nor did he dare to think about whether the two could get married. He felt uncontrollably uncomfortable when he thought about it.

Jiang Zhiyi also nodded and said, "I am happy too."

Jiang Zhiyi had a very happy lunch at the Qian family. The whole family took care of her, fearing that she would not eat well.

Because he was a few years older than Jiang Zhiyi, Qian Ran always treated Jiang Zhiyi like a child, and it was still the same now. Taking care of her became a habit.

After lunch, Jiang Zhiyi chatted with Qian's father and mother for a while, and Qian Ran sent her home.

Downstairs at Jiang Zhiyi's house, Qian Ran held her hand and was reluctant to let go: "I'll pick you up tomorrow. There's a resort near the capital, which is open during the New Year. Let's go there to play."

"Okay. But don't you have to visit relatives?"

It is a custom to visit relatives during the New Year. Jiang Zhiyi's relatives had all been seen on the day of the New Year's Eve dinner. The others were all her elders' friends and colleagues. She could go with them or not.

"It's not too late to go in two days."

Jiang Zhiyi: "Okay, then can I ask others to go with us? I don't think it's lively enough with just the two of us."

"Okay. Brother Dazi should want to go."

The two were talking about who they could invite tomorrow, and Jiang's second uncle came back from seeing off the guests and happened to see the two of them being intimate.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was indeed Jiang Zhiyi and Qian Ran.

Jiang's second uncle immediately called out, "Zhiyi!"

Jiang Zhiyi looked over, took Qianran's hand and walked in front of Jiang's second uncle gracefully: "Dad, this is my girlfriend, you should know her, Qianran."

"Hello, Uncle Jiang."

Jiang's second uncle frowned and looked at the two people holding hands. Jiang Zhiyi did not let go, but held it tighter: "Brother Xiaoran, we have a deal."

"Okay. Uncle, I'm sorry for being rude today. I will visit you and aunt another day."

Jiang's second uncle waved his hand and let him go quickly.

As soon as Qian Ran drove away, Jiang's second uncle asked Jiang Zhiyi directly: "When did you talk to him? You were with him before you went to Guangzhou, right?"

Jiang Zhiyi walked home and said, "Yes. Xiao Ran has a successful career, a harmonious family, and impeccable appearance. He has been waiting for me for so many years when I went abroad. Dad, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Jiang's second uncle was stunned, frowned and thought carefully. He really couldn't find any faults with Qian Ran, and even thought that this son-in-law was pretty good.

"He's a little old." Jiang's second uncle said this after thinking for a long time.

Jiang Zhiyi: "When you are older, you will be more caring."

This is not a problem. Many parents like their daughters to marry men who are a few years older so that they can take better care of their daughters.

Jiang Erjiu was even more depressed. His daughter had not been back for long, and now she was being taken away by a wolf.

However, it is time for sons and daughters to get married. Zhiyi is indeed old enough to get married. Qian Ran is not bad.

"What's the situation between you two?"

Jiang Zhiyi: "We're talking about getting married."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Jiang's second uncle coughed violently because of his own saliva. After coughing for a long time, he was shocked and said: "You...you two!"

"It's not what you think. It's time for us to get married. His parents will come to discuss the engagement in a few days."

Jiang's second uncle was almost scolded again. He couldn't accept all the news at once.

"Why so soon?"

"Not soon." Jiang Zhiyi said: "We've been talking for several years. Dad, go home and talk to Mom. I'm afraid we'll quarrel again."

Jiang's second uncle looked like he had a headache.

In Yunmengze, Zhang Lu came over early in the morning.

She is now used to running every day. She wakes up at a certain time in the morning, when her parents are still asleep.

Zhang Lu did not wake them up. After getting up, she ran several laps and bought breakfast. When she got home, her parents were already up.

While eating breakfast, Zhang Lu told them that she was going out to play.

Jiang Zhiguan felt pain in her eyes when she saw Zhang Lu's hair. When she heard her words, she quickly waved her hand and said, "Go, go, your hair makes me uncomfortable."

Zhang Lu ate several buns in no time, picked up the bowl and drank the soy milk in one gulp, wiped her mouth and ran away.

Jiang Zhiguan and Zhang Wei looked at her eating like a whirlwind, their eyes widened.

After Zhang Lu ran out, Jiang Zhiguan showed sadness in his eyes: "Lu Lu must have suffered a lot in the military academy."

Zhang Wei sighed: "Alas, who made her like this?"

If Zhang Lu didn't like it, Zhang Wei would never let the girl take the military academy entrance exam.

The two of them ate breakfast and felt that the food in their mouths didn't taste so good.

Zhang Lu didn't think too much. During the special training, they were trained to eat fast. If they didn't eat fast, they would have less rest time, or even not finish eating after the rest time, and then they would have to go hungry.

She took the bus to Yunmengze, and Yunmengze didn't open the door yet.

Jiang Zhida didn't stay here last night. If Zhang Lu didn't bring her special card, she might not be able to get in.

Her appearance has changed a lot, and Yunmengze has also had new people, so it is normal that she is not recognized.

Staying in the special box reserved by Jiang Zhida, Zhang Lu called her friends one by one and paged them with a pager. Those

who answered the phone all readily agreed to come over, and were very happy to ask Zhang Lu to wait in Yunmengze.

These friends of hers have not seen Zhang Lu for a long time, and they missed her very much.

Tang Song was the first to arrive at Yunmengze. After receiving the call, he did not even want to wait for the bus and took a taxi directly.

After taking a few deep breaths at the door of the box, Tang Song calmed his breathing and finally looked less excited. He knocked on the door.

A familiar and cheerful voice sounded from the door: "Come in, no need to knock!"

Tang Song pushed the door open and saw Zhang Lu sitting inside.

He didn't dare to recognize her for a moment, and he called out hesitantly: "Zhang Lu?"

"It's me! What, you don't recognize me after I changed my hairstyle?" Zhang Lu stroked his head, patted the seat next to him and said: "Come in and sit down, I just ordered a song "Green Flower in the Army", can you sing it? If you can, let's sing it together."

Tang Song's familiar voice and sunny personality will never make you feel that she is difficult to approach. Even if you don't talk much, she will always lead you and make you not bored.

Tang Song walked over and sat beside her, still looking at her hair. They hadn't seen each other since Zhang Lu went to college, and her appearance had changed so much.

But no matter how much she changed, her personality was still the same as before, and she was still the one Tang Song was familiar with.

He really missed Zhang Lu so much. Seeing her now, he always wanted to look at her a few more times. After she started school, he didn't know when he would see her again.

Zhang Lu put the other microphone into Tang Song's hand: "It's started! The cold wind blows the fallen leaves..."

Zhang Lu sang. It was obviously a song with a hint of sadness, but she sang it with bright sunshine, as if she was singing an inspiring military song.

Without hearing Tang Song's voice, Jiang Zhiyi turned around and looked at him, motioning him to sing along with her.

Tang Song picked up the microphone, and the two began to sing line by line. His singing was more in tune with the song than Zhang Lu's, expressing his own feelings, and his eyes never left Zhang Lu.

But Zhang Lu was immersed in the song and didn't notice it at all.

As they were singing, other students pushed open the door and came in one after another, without disturbing the two people singing.

When they finished singing, a group of people cheered and applauded, shouting "Good!" "One more song!"

Zhang Lu waved at them crazily with a smile as bright as a sunflower on his face: "Hello everyone, I will sing a song "Returning from Target Practice" for you!"

"Good!"

"Oh oh oh~"

The group of people were very supportive, and Zhang Lu sang loudly again. Everyone knew this song. The music teacher taught everyone in school, and then the classmates sang this song in a chorus competition.

Suddenly, the whole box was filled with the sound of "The sun sets in the west and the clouds fly", which was deafening.

When Cen Huaian pushed open the door of the box, his ears were almost shaken off.

He rubbed his ears and adjusted for a while before going in. He found that everyone was having a great time singing. The group of people seemed to have really turned into those warriors who "returned from target practice", competing to see who was louder and happier.

Tang Song did not go crazy with the others, and he gave his microphone to someone else, but he sat beside Zhang Lu all the time, watching her sing loudly, like a tireless sun, trying to illuminate the surroundings with his singing.

After a song ended, Cen Huaian walked in, but he did not go to the singing place, but walked to the billiard table, listening to a group of people howling, he silently picked up the billiard cue to play.

He played a round of ball by himself, and then Zhang Lu gave the microphone to someone else, ran to the side to drink water, and saw him.

Zhang Lu ran over with a drink: "An An, why don't you go sing?"

Cen Huaian half-bent his waist, his eyes on the ball that the club was aimed at, and with one club, the ball went into the hole steadily. He straightened up and said: "Tone-deaf."

Zhang Lu had indeed never heard Cen Huaian sing, and believed what he said.

"Want something to eat? And drinks. Is the chef in my uncle's shop on holiday?"

Cen Huaian: "Wait until I finish this game."

Zhang Lu put the drinks aside and took a cue: "Let me play with you. See if I'm not good at it."

Tang Song was standing not far from the two of them. When Zhang Lu left the singing class, he also came out.

Hearing this, he stepped forward and said, "I'll be the referee for you."

"Okay! Tang Song, I remember you're good at billiards, right?"

Tang Song: "Yes."

"Then wait until An An and I finish playing, and then we'll play a game too?"

Tang Song naturally agreed. Even his heart was beating a little faster. He hoped that Cen Huaian and Zhang Lu's game would be finished quickly, but he also hoped that they would slow down and give him enough time to prepare.

Some people noticed that Zhang Lu and Cen Huaian were playing billiard and gathered around, but many people were still singing.

Everyone understood the rules of billiard, so they just watched and never interrupted to disturb the two of them. Some

people's hands itched when they saw them playing, and there happened to be a table next to them, so they found a partner to play with them.

Cen Huaian hit one shot after another, leaving Zhang Lu no chance, and all went in. He teed off first.

Zhang Lu didn't hit it himself, but he didn't think it was a big deal. He smiled and praised Cen Huaian for his great skills.

"An An, have you been practicing secretly at home? At least you gave me a chance to play before."

Cen Huaian wiped the cue and said, "I feel good today." Zhang

Lu agreed to play with Tang Song, so she didn't play with Cen Huaian anymore. She asked Tang Song if he was ready.

Tang Song nodded, and he started first.

Zhang Lu sat aside with a club, drank some water and said to Cen Huaian beside him: "I hope Tang Song will give me a chance to play."

Just after he finished speaking, Tang Song hit a shot and the ball almost went into the hole. He smiled at Zhang Lu: "Almost, it's your turn."

Zhang Lu instantly became energetic, picked up the club and went over, grinning at Tang Song: "This is the chance you gave me, I will definitely win this round!"

Tang Song: "Well, that's also because I'm not as good as you."

Zhang Lu laughed "Haha": "I'm kidding, I'm not that good, I haven't played billiards for a long time."

She moved her wrist, bent down, and her expression

immediately became serious. At this time, Zhang Lu no longer looked cheerful and lively, and the whole person was like a cheetah ready to catch prey.

Now Tang Song realized where Zhang Lu's real change was, not in appearance, but in the momentum of facing the enemy, which was the result of real experience in the army, like a sharp sword unsheathed, unstoppable!

Cen Huaian looked at Zhang Lu, and stood up straight, his eyes changed. He had the same idea as Tang Song, the army had changed a lot towards Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu

hit the ball one by one, and the ball went into the hole one by one. She was not proud, nor did she smile. Her expression was still the same as at the beginning, her eyes fixed on the balls on the table, and now they were her enemies.

One by one, until the last one went into the hole, Zhang Lu's momentum suddenly subsided, and she smiled at Cen Huaian and Tang Song with great joy: "I won!"

Her smile was pure like a child's, and it didn't show how fierce she was just now.

Those classmates who were just surprised by Zhang Lu's momentum in playing basketball also turned around and applauded.

Zhang Lu asked them not to applaud, she ran to Tang Song and stuffed a candy into his hand: "Hey, don't cry if you lose, there is candy."

This was something Zhang Lu picked up from the table just now, and she put it in her pocket to eat it herself, and it was just right for Tang Song to comfort him after he lost.

After giving the candy, Zhang Lu ran to Cen Huaian, smiling so much that his eyes curved into two crescents: "I'm awesome! If I had started the game just now, I might have won."

Cen Huaian: "Then let's play another game?"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "Forget it, it's boring to keep playing, let's play something else."

The two of them were talking and preparing to go skating, only Tang Song held the candy tightly in his palm, and the ripples in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.
