"You agree?"

It's time to nod.

"How long have you known each other?"

"About half a year," although she has seen it four times in total, of course she dare not say that, "he is also a university professor, with a very good character, and very innocent."

"Very simple?" Mother was amused. "This word is not good to describe a man."

Shi Yi looked at her mother quietly, with a very firm expression.

"Okay, I see," the mother shook her head. "Let him come. Since you have known each other for a while, it can be considered as a consideration. Fortunately, it is not marriage. For you young people, getting engaged is just going. A situation."

Mother's willingness to accept, let her relax.

Before leaving her room, her mother suddenly asked, "He is also from Zhenjiang?"

Shi Yi was stunned, and reflexively answered: "Yes."

Fortunately, I didn't say I don't know anymore. Otherwise, the mother doesn't know what to think.

Before going to bed, Zhou Shengchen called to confirm.

Shi Yi snuggled in the quilt, talking on the phone with him question and answer, mentioning his visit tomorrow, very anxious.

This feeling is like you just want to drink a sip to quench your thirst, but the Buddha gave you a whole well, and you will repeatedly doubt that this matter is true. Besides, the two have only seen each other four times, and they have just adapted to each other.

After dawn again, he was already engaged.

She was even scared and would see him tomorrow. What should I say? It will not be nervous and confused.

"Except for the engagement, all of our getting along is done in a step-by-step manner, and there is no need to disrupt," he said a lot today, his voice was a little dumb, but he was still sane, with the power of calming and reassuring: "Just like I did. When researching, a research direction will be determined, and then experiments will be conducted. This is just a very reasonable and scientific method."

She was amused by him.

"What's the time?"

"Um."

"Don't have too much psychological burden."

"good."

The next morning, Zhou Shengchen arrived as scheduled.

The moment she opened the door, she was surprised again. The person in front of me is rare to wear a pair of frameless glasses, and inside a pure black suit is a silver-gray shirt. Very rigorous and solemn. Such Western-style clothing makes him taller.

Shi Yi held the door and forgot to let it go. Two people just looked at me and I looked at you.

It just treats everyone else as a display.

He smiled at her: "Is it inconvenient to let me in?"

She let herself return to normal as much as possible, stretched out her hand curiously, and shook it before his eyes: "Do you have myopia?"

"There is some farsightedness."

She laughed and muttered softly, "Hypersighted? Isn't that presbyopia?"

Behind him, he still followed the driver, and there were two men and two women.

When Shiyi said this, I wanted to laugh a little, but they all bowed their heads politely to cover up.

Zhou Shengchen didn't care too much, and looked at her: "Did you sleep well?"

She was puzzled: "No."

He used his fingers to place an arc from under his eyes: "You, it seems that you haven't slept well."

He spoke in a low voice because of his politeness.

It's a pity that the people who followed all heard it in their ears. Shi Yi was a little embarrassed by the fact that he could not sleep in the presence of these strangers.

Fortunately, her parents had already walked out of the living room and gave her time to avoid.

The fashionable young uncles and aunts, as the real masters of this home, also greet the guests. From entering the room, to finally sitting down, and receiving the tea, he did not show any drips. Even the unhappy father began to smile appreciatively. Shi should always be on the sidelines, and only then can he be relieved.

She has a body and skin, and is affected by her parents, she remembers it in her heart, and naturally hopes that her parents will really like him.

But now it seems that the elders in the family have a very good impression of him except for the five people behind him.

"Mother is inconvenient to go out due to physical reasons, but it also made the younger generations take some care." When Zhou Shengchen spoke, the middle-aged man behind him had already placed a six or seven-foot-long yellow rosewood box on the table. , "This is for uncle."

The box is unfolded, and nine pocket screens are juxtaposed.

Mostly green emerald material, only the base, emerald green and white. Everyone was a little surprised. Shiyi took a closer look and found that the most ingenious are the reliefs on the screens, the autumn geese, the pavilions, and the palace ladies in the building. different.

"How many ladies are there?" The cousin couldn't help but asked softly.

"It happens to be nine hundred and ninety-nine," Zhou Shengchen turned his head slightly, and said politely, looking directly at his cousin. "It is said that the number of people who have no relationship with it is incomplete. You can try if you have a chance."

Mother wanted to refuse, but she repeatedly said that she was too polite.

It's a pity that Zhou Shengchen had already prepared the words first, which was the intention of the "mother". And that very generous mother hasn't arrived yet, how can anyone bring back all the gifts

The gifts are spread out one by one.

In the end, the room was a little quiet. He would simply say the names of these things only when the cousin was curious, and would never tell the origins without asking, they would only be regarded as ordinary gifts. From a set of six blue and white pine and plum pattern goblet and silver gilt tortoise ornaments, to white glazed pearl flower pattern plum vase, every elder has it, but nothing is left.

Even the cousin took a scary green jade pendant.

Her shock was no less than that of the family.
