Zhou Chi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Ran. For a moment, neither of them spoke again until Liu Changsheng came in yawning.
"What's simmering in the pot? I can smell the aroma from far away," Liu Changsheng exaggeratedly took a few sips, and while lifting the lid of the casserole to take a look, he smiled broadly, "I'm craving for shrimp and mushroom porridge. This is it."
"I'm not afraid of burning my hands," Zhou Ran stretched out his hand and hit Liu Changsheng twice, saying disgustedly, "Go and wash up quickly, this end is a mess."
"Okay, okay, let's go now." Liu Changsheng promised, but he finally took a piece of shrimp into his mouth and went to wash up amidst Zhou Ran's urging.
"How old you are, you really don't look like an adult anymore." Zhou Ran stared at Liu Changsheng's back, feeling really disgusted.
Zhou Chi smiled and said, "I think it's good that my brother-in-law is like this. I used to only think that my sister-in-law is nice, but I always felt a little polite and distant. But since I have Teng'er, we feel more and more like a family."
Zhou Ran was actually just talking about it, but in his heart he disliked Liu Changsheng? Then he said with a smile: "He doesn't have any good qualities, but he is the most warm-hearted. If you treat him well, he will treat you better."
Zhou Chi looked at the smile on Zhou Ran's face and felt very happy in his heart. He said, "Yes, brother-in-law has always been enthusiastic, and I also like brother-in-law very much."
"Yes, life is inherently difficult, and it is even more difficult to find someone who agrees with you. I am lucky. I have a brother like you and a husband like him. This life is worth it," Zhou Ran said softly, putting down the dishes in his hand, looking at Zhou Chi, and said seriously every word, "Zhou Chi, your brother-in-law told me last night, whether you want to go to the capital or not, I, as a sister, shouldn't No matter what, what he said makes sense, but after all, it is your life-long matter, and I still want to take care of it. "
Zhou Chi stopped what he was doing: "Sister, please tell me."
"No matter whether you stay in Guangxi or go to the capital in the future, and no matter how successful you become as an official, you can't always be so alone." Zhou Ran reached out and grabbed the dish from Zhou Chi's hand, put it aside, and she pressed Holding Zhou Chi's hand tightly, he said, "Zhou Chi, I know you are having a hard time, and the path you have chosen is not easy, but you still need to find a companion. Life is short, you know?" If you are over thirty this year, you should be able to understand what it is like.”
"Zhou Chi, no matter where you are, don't wrong yourself." After saying this, Zhou Ran paused and her eyes were a little red. She opened her eyes hard and pushed back the tears. After a pause, she He continued, "Zhou Chi, I always thought that I was the person who loved you the most in the world, and I also selfishly hoped that I would always be the person who loved you the most and was the most worthy of your reliance. But Zhou Chi, now I really I especially hope that there will be someone who loves you more than me and is more worthy of your reliance. No matter... no matter that person is a woman... or a man, Zhou Chi, I hope you can have a better life... "
Zhou Chi didn't speak, he just looked at Zhou Ran without blinking, at his reflection in Zhou Ran's eyes, at Zhou Ran's red eyes, at the water droplets on Zhou Ran's eyelashes, and finally, his tears came first One step fell.
He buried his face in Zhou Ran's hand. He couldn't say anything, he just choked and called over and over again: "Eldest sister, eldest sister..."
Zhou Ran raised his head high while holding Zhou Chi in his arms, holding back tears for a long time before gently sliding down the corners of his eyes.
