Feng Ning suddenly laughed.
My forehead rested on his shoulder, but my vision became increasingly blurry.
When she was a child, Feng Ning's dream was to grow up quickly, work and make money, and buy a big house for her mother to live in. Even if life was hard, she always worked hard and climbed up. No matter what she encountered, she never thought of giving up. Later, Qi Lan passed away and she suffered from depression. For some reason, her life became worse and worse, and it seemed that nothing was interesting. At that time, she just wanted to survive one day at a time.
The long-term avoidance, loneliness, embarrassment and hesitation after being seen through, these days and nights, weighed on my heart, like a thought drowning in the deep sea. But at this moment, it seemed as if a hole was suddenly opened, and a beam of light shone in.
...
Feng Ning, I used to be a very proud person.
But I really want to ask you now.
...
Just these two simple sentences seemed to open a barrier, revealing all of Jiang Wen's past helpless feelings to Feng Ning.
Her heart felt sour and painful.
The nasal cavity also feels sore.
At such a sentimental moment, Feng Ning hid her inner turmoil, hugged Jiang Wen's head with both hands, and shook it vigorously, "Are you an idiot?"
Looking at her tear-stained face, Jiang Wen bent down and kissed her eyes, "If I were smarter, would I have been fooled by you so many times?"
"It's a good thing you're not smart."
Feng Ning survived the disaster, hooked her arms around his neck, and kissed him back, "Otherwise, how could I have gotten such a big bargain."
After a night of ups and downs, the cold wind calmed them down. Pulling away from the previous emotions, Feng Ning paid some attention to Jiang Wen's clothes.
He was only wearing a shirt and a sweater, and gave her the jacket.
She pulled him towards the house, but it didn't move. Feng Ning turned around and said, "Let's go in first."
Jiang Wen stood there stubbornly.
She followed his gaze and saw the ring again.
I was so busy crying that I forgot about this. Feng Ning held her breath and was stunned for a while. She hesitated a little, "Isn't your proposal... a little too sudden?"
"Suddenly?"
"It scared me."
"I thought you were trying to dump me again."
"You're not right." Feng Ning corrected him, "When did I ever dump you? Wasn't it you who dumped me last time?"
"I'm sorry." Jiang Wen apologized seriously, "Breaking up with you is the most regrettable decision I've ever made in my life."
Feng Ning patted his shoulder and was about to say a few words of comfort.
"I hope you'll never mention it."
"how?"
After a few seconds, Jiang Wen turned his head to the other side and said, "It makes me sad just thinking about it."
He looked a little fragile and uneasy, yet inexplicably attractive. This made Feng Ning's heart soften, and at the same time she wanted to bully him.
"Are you afraid that you will regret it when you wake up?"
"No."
Feng Ning smiled a little, then sighed and stretched out his hand, "Come on then."
Jiang Wen asked quietly: "What about you? Are you afraid of regretting it?"
Feng Ning tilted his head, "To be honest, a little bit."
"There's no point in being afraid."
Jiang Wen grabbed her hand, put the ring on her ring finger, pushed it up, and stuck it firmly. "If you regret it, spend the rest of your life regretting it."
Neither of them wanted to sleep, they just kept hugging and kissing each other like conjoined twins. They didn't do anything, just stayed together quietly, talking to each other from time to time, but they felt unprecedented warmth and peace of mind.
He suddenly asked, "Where's your household registration booklet?"
Feng Ning raised his face and looked at him.
Jiang Wen pretended to be calm.
Feng Ning couldn't help but laugh, "What's the point of having your household registration booklet now? The Civil Affairs Bureau can only open after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Do you have any common sense?"
Before they knew it, the dawn had already begun outside. Feng Ning whispered softly in Jiang Wen's ear, "Jiang Wen, I have a wish."
"What?"
"I hope that we can both work hard together in the future. Feng Ning will be full of energy and shine again. Jiang Wen will quit smoking and drinking and live a good life."
Jiang Wen felt her hot breath, was silent for a long time, reached out and put his arms around her waist, and said, "Okay."
The two of them slept until the afternoon.
Jiang Wen's phone had more than a dozen missed calls, all from Zhao Binlin.
As soon as I called back, the call was picked up almost immediately.
"Fuck, you idiot, you finally answered the phone. I thought you blocked me. Damn it, where have you been? Why haven't you checked your phone for so long?"
Jiang Wen glanced at Feng Ning who was still asleep, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "I just woke up, what do you want from me?"
"Let's go out for dinner tonight. There's a lot of people here. How about coming?"
"It depends."
Zhao Linlin scolded: "It's Chinese New Year, what can happen to you? Why is it so difficult to have a meal with you? You are harder to get an appointment with than Buffett?!"
Feng Ning was a light sleeper to begin with, and she woke up as soon as Jiang Wen moved.
He leaned against the door and talked on the phone for a while. She rubbed her eyes, sat up from the bed, and shouted, "Jiang Wen?"
As soon as her voice came out.
Both sides are quiet at the same time.
When he heard a female voice, Zhao Binlin instantly became angry and swore continuously for two minutes on the other end of the phone.
Jiang Wen listened patiently.
He is in a good mood now and doesn't care.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wen pushed open the door and went in, half squatting beside the bed, "Did I wake you up?"
"No, I've had enough sleep." Feng Ning blinked lazily, "What's wrong? Is there anyone looking for you?"
Jiang asked: "Zhao Binlin, they want to have a meal with you, do you want to go?"
Feng Ning thought about it and said, "Okay."
After last night, the atmosphere between the two of them had clearly changed. It was hard to tell exactly what the difference was.
However, Feng Ning could finally understand some of Min Yueyue's previous exaggerated behaviors.
She has now become the kind of sweet woman who would take advantage of the few seconds she has to wait for a traffic light to hold hands with her boyfriend.
The dining place was about half an hour's drive from Feng Ning's home, but Jiang Wen stretched the journey to an hour.
Also coming this time were their childhood friends, about five or six people.
When we arrived, the waiter led us to the second floor, where we knocked on the door of the private room and pushed it open.
It was noisy inside, but the moment Feng Ning and Jiang Wen appeared holding hands, the box became quiet for a few seconds.
Xi Gaoyuan and Zhao Binlin looked at each other knowingly. There were also a few others who were unaware of the situation and stared at them with their eyes wide open.
Facing a group of familiar friends, Jiang Wen said calmly: "Let me introduce you."
Zhao Binlin stood up from his seat and waved his hand impatiently: "What are you introducing?"
He directly skipped Jiang Wen and went to greet Feng Ning: "Sister Ning, please come this way."
Jiang Wen grabbed Feng Ning's wrist and stopped her from leaving.
Seeing others showing affection hurts his eyes, Xi Gaoyuan also became impatient and shouted: "Okay, no need to introduce, everyone knows she is your girlfriend, no need to show off."
Jiang Wen glanced at him calmly, "I want to introduce you."
Xi Gaoyuan: "..."
Zhao Binlin hesitated for a moment, "Okay, okay, then you introduce them."
"This is Feng Ning, my high school classmate."
Feng Ning raised her hand to match Jiang Wen, smiling with eyes curved, and greeted: "Hello, everyone."
Although the people present had known about this for a long time, they still wisely applauded and said, "Nice to meet you, sister-in-law."
"She is now," Jiang Wen paused and said shockingly, "my fiancée."
