She couldn't think of it anymore.
"It's very complicated," he smiled silently and slowly, "mostly it is the wealth accumulated by the older generations. The younger generations don't need to do anything, so they mostly choose what they like."
"For example, like you?"
"Is my profession very special?" He laughed: "I am familiar with a younger brother with a foreign surname. He is a nuclear engineer and is not loyal to any country. He is a dangerous and legendary person. The family is strange. There are many people, but most of them are not familiar to me. I entered the university when I was fourteen and started studying chemistry. I spent most of the time in the laboratory and my life was very monotonous."
Shi Yi listened interestingly, even though Zhou Shengchen said that, she still thought he was the most special.
For her, Zhou Shengchen is the only one, regardless of past and present.
Although this place in Zhenjiang is Shiyi's father's ancestral home, they don't come back often.
Similar to most Jiangnan cities, there are lakes, temples, high and low mountains and stories. When the car drove by the lake, you could see the Jinshan Temple in the distance, hazy in the rain.
It was still cloudy in the morning, and now there are signs of heavy rain.
Will it stop near here? Will it continue
Every few minutes, she would guess whether the car would stop at any time.
Unfortunately, the car went all the way south and entered the mountain without any signs of stopping.
The road in the mountains and forests, rendered by rain and fog, is very pleasant.
"My mother," Zhou Shengchen said suddenly, "she may be a little cold towards you."
Shi Yi listened to his tone, a little serious, and couldn't help but become nervous again: "Because my family is too ordinary?"
"It's not your reason, it's that my family is something special."
This is obvious.
Shi Yi unconsciously turned the gold-inlaid jade bracelet on his wrist: "Are there any taboos? For example, your mother doesn't like what other people say? Or after meeting, what needs special attention?"
"There is no taboo," he said. "My family is not a tiger beast. It's just that you are not the girl she knows. Maybe, she will need some time to get to know you."
She screamed.
Thinking of what he once said: "You said, you have complete information about me? Even my family members."
"Very detailed," he said simply, "detailed, your data from childhood to adulthood, every year."
Shiyi couldn't believe it.
"We—" He seemed to think of the day when he first met, and slowly said with a smile, "The acquaintance is too special, so we need some necessary procedures to get to know you."
She didn't expect that such a romantic thing would be approached intentionally by him.
But after a few seconds, it was relieved, she really approached intentionally. If you say it is unintentional, I'm afraid I won't even believe it.
He leaned his elbow on a wooden armrest, and seemed to want to take off his coat. Because of his height, the space in the car is not enough for him to stretch, and the action of taking off is a little uncomfortable. Shi Yi comfortably pulled the sleeve on one side for him and helped him take it off.
Of the two, one took off his coat because of the restraint, and the other just helped.
She helped so that the clothes came into her own hands.
With a slight temperature, she held it in her arms, suddenly a little faint.
"I'll get it." Zhou Shengchen said, he had already taken it, and put it on his lap.
Just such a small episode, somehow made the two people have a little closeness. She felt a bit dry in her heartbeat, turned her head, and continued to look at the mountains and forests in the rain and mist. She really couldn't forget him, and what about him? Why did you get engaged suddenly? If according to him, it is "need to be engaged to a person", why is it necessary
She thought about these issues in hindsight.
I don't know how to be an unmarried couple for myself and him.
Zhou Shengchen looked at her as if she was in a trance, and didn't bother her anymore. He was used to being alone, and of course he was also used to not disturbing others.
When she finally saw scattered buildings appeared, she also heard Zhou Shengchen say: "Slowly you will understand that I am not questioning you. These are all necessary procedures." He said calmly. And gently, the tone was nothing special, but it was obviously to make her more comfortable. Shi Yi turned his head and smiled at him: "Slowly you will understand that I am a very big person, and I am not very angry about small things."
The car parked in front of a very quaint old house, with someone waiting at the door.
When he got out of the car, he handed the suit and coat to the young man waiting at the door, with the umbrella in his hand. He turned to look at the time and made a gesture of slightly raising his arms: "Is that okay?"
She nodded, feeling that the two of them really seemed to be acting.
Zhou Shengchen held her chest slightly, adapting to the height of her coming out of the car, and from time to time she stretched out a leg, stepped on the wet floor tiles, and quickly grabbed his forearm. She was wearing a long-sleeved cheongsam, and he was a thin shirt, separated by two layers of light fabric, but he could still feel each other's body temperature.
She was full of heart, and after walking a dozen steps out, she took a serious look at the place where the yard was inhabited.
Although it is an old house, the drainage is very good.
Such heavy rain, all the way in, there is no water.
"You have lived here since you were young?" She looked at the sights along the way very vaguely.
"Before I was fourteen, I lived for a while," he said, "not long."
She nodded.
Because he said that he had lived here, he suddenly felt that the old house under the rain curtain was three points more cordial.
I often encounter people passing by in a hurry. They all pass by side doors and trails. When I see Zhou Shengchen, I will stop and lean back. I will not make a sound when I am far away. Shi Yi listened to such a mysterious word, and took the corner of his eye to look at him. The latter was rather indifferent, and most of the time there was no response.
Only said to the young man who led the way, go directly to the lady.
Zhou Shengchen, who was in a hurry at the airport, Zhou Shengchen who occasionally talked and laughed at Qinglong Temple, and Zhou Shengchen, who was slightly mysterious in Shanghai, had nothing to do with this person.
Until the two people walked into the rain shelter, someone carefully wiped off the water stains on their shoes, and this feeling became clearer. There were a dozen middle-aged women and girls in the sheltered rain pavilion, all laughing and chatting, and when they walked in, they all got up naturally or sat upright.
All eyes fell on her vaguely.
