time-limited addiction

The belly of the fish is swollen.

It's not his turn to feed.

Zhou Xiangqun put down the fish jar and returned to the front yard.

There are no children to worry about, and every day's work goes on in an orderly manner.

See Song Yanpei again.

It's where you work.

Zhou Xiangqun lowered his eyes and wanted to simply say hello and treat it as passing by.

The greeting is over.

The way Song Yanpei stood motionless made him a little surprised, so he became curious.

"Are you here for something?"

She said, "On the way, come see you."

Which way to follow.

Zhou Xiangqun didn't expose it and nodded.

After all, the roads in Beijing are narrow and narrow, and you can follow them wherever you go.

She stepped forward and looked directly at Zhou Xiangqun frankly, "Can you please hold your hand?"

Zhou Xiangqun put his hands into his coat pockets and remained silent.

To be honest, Song Yanpei didn't intend to hold her hand, so he put his hand behind his back.It’s just that I don’t like two people getting along like it’s work, and the atmosphere is serious and cautious.

That would be so boring.

tease him.

But it can’t be teased.

His emotions are really beyond the control of ordinary people.

"Where are you going on your vacation this week?"

With that said, Song Yanpei quickened his pace to keep up and walked to Zhou Xiangqun's side.

He said, play chess.

Song Yanpei asked, "How about I invite you to Rongpai Mansion for dinner?"

Zhou Xiangqun did not answer.

She guessed that she shouldn't ask this, so she was silent for a moment.

No matter how proactive, probing, and approaching she was, after all, she was inexperienced in relationships, and her thoughts were really at the end of her rope.

Zhou Xiangqun tilted his head and said, "Prepare your appearance and remain dignified at all times."

Song Yanpei deliberately stood up and took a breather.

"Follow your arrangement."

Zhou Xiangqun pursed his lips, the skin on his cheeks twitched, and he smiled without showing any emotion.

Then he said, "If you want to treat me, I will treat you. I won't eat my wife's food."

Send her back to the Song family mansion in the northern suburbs.

Zhou Xiangqun returned to the courtyard.

After playing chess on the weekend, he promised Song Yanpei to treat her to a meal.

Wearing his usual simple black clothes and black trousers, his face was clean and he didn't wear much makeup.

During the meal, Zhou Xiangqun remained silent to the end.

So does Song Yanpei.

It's just like eating with ordinary friends, no different.

Autumn.

Sudden floods.

Zhou Xiangqun needs to go on a business trip.

After returning to Beijing.

I heard Xiao Zhang say, "The Song family asked Miss Song to go out on a mission in person again. She just left yesterday."

Zhou Xiangqun's reaction was normal.

Work hard when you need to work, and go home when you need to go home.

The temperature changes greatly.

The old lady always suffers from leg ailments, which are inherited diseases from her early years. The second son is busy and rarely comes to the courtyard to honor her and touch her legs.

The old lady had no choice but to lie on the rocking chair under the crabapple tree, knocking, and kept talking when she saw him.

"You will get married in the spring next year. Due to your two identities, the marriage procedures will be complicated. Remember to apply in advance."

Zhou Xiangqun squatted down, rolled up his sleeves twice, and patiently massaged the old man's legs, saying yes.

What's the trouble, Mrs. Silan is still here.

However, the necessary procedures and procedures still need to be prepared.

I don’t remember how long it has been.

I almost forgot that Song Yanpei had been away from Beijing for less than half a month.

Didn't come back at the scheduled time.

Zhou Xiangqun's first reaction was that something had happened.Song Yanpei once said: If I had known if I had not come back so early, you would definitely be the one crying at the grave

"Crow's mouth."

Based on Song Yanpei's personality, he was not someone who could joke around or deliberately make him worry. Something really delayed him.

After all, that tough-looking girl is his fiancée.

Zhou handed the group a letter for approval, changed his jacket, and headed to the border overnight.

at last.

He had found her.

Deep in the jungle of Cloud City.

Song Yanpei was resting against a tree stump, followed by her two colleagues. Her clothes were torn from tree hooks, her face was stained with black mud, she was very stubborn and had no tears left.

Seeing him, Song Yanpei was slightly surprised at first, then regained his composure.

Is he worried about her?

It doesn’t matter whether it’s an engagement, a responsibility, or a caring relationship at work.

Anyway, he was worried when he came. This was what Song Yanpei's mind, which had never seen the world of love, thought.

Zhou Xiangqun stretched out his hand.

Song Yanpei put his hand on his palm, and there was a layer of rough callus skin on the tiger's mouth.

The advantage is that his palm is thick, and the skin-to-skin feeling is quite...comfortable.

Even, there is a little bit of indulgence in this moment.

Let her imagine that there is a slight possibility between them.

Song Yanpei's hands were not much better. They were used to practice weapons all year round. Their bones were hard and not as soft and delicate as a girl's hands should be.

But she never cared about this and smiled calmly, "You are all here, marry me?"

"I don't want to disgrace the Song family."

Zhou Xiangqun always says this.

Song Yanpei always had a smile on her face. She had slender eyes and a beautiful narrow face that was the most typical feature of Beijing girls.

The character of a girl who grew up in the Imperial City can be described in just a few words: Don’t be shy, talk about things and discuss them directly.
This is something Zhou Xiangqun has been exposed to before.

She spoke suddenly.

"After marrying you, can I live in a courtyard for the rest of my life, close to where I work?"

"Can I also live in Jingtai Pavilion and touch your bamboos?"

She had the nerve to ask, where was her shyness in going to the courtyard to meet the elders?

Second Mistress often said that girl Yan Pei was dignified, elegant, quiet and decent.

In private, Song Yanpei had nothing to do with these words in front of him.

Zhou Xiangqun looked calm and spoke very little as he did that night, "You can stay wherever you like."

Song Yanpei just assumed that he acquiesced and that he was 'putting his wife first'.

Overnight flight.

Zhou Xiangqun took her back to Beijing.

He told Song Yanpei, "I donate my salary every year. Are you afraid of eating soy milk and fried dough sticks with me? I have Huji beef noodles for breakfast, lunch at work, and dinner at home with my grandparents. I am used to eating light."

The Zhou family gave him a lot of money, but he never touched it.

The betrothal gift prepared by the Zhou family for Song Yanpei was also given according to regulations.

Avoid extravagance and extravagance, but there is no lack of etiquette that should be lacking.

"Our days from now on will be very ordinary. Of course, I will leave half of my salary to buy you a dress."

He was applying medicine to the scar on her arm. These actions were very normal and caring.

He squatted and she sat.

Song Yanpei patted him on the shoulder, but he stared back coldly.

Song Yanpei smiled, his pupils shining brightly.

"I don't often wear skirts. Even if I buy them, I have the salary to buy them."

"Whether you want to marry or not."

"Zhou Xiangqun, you're here, let's get married."

Zhou Xiangqun stood up and said, "The date has been set, why are you still asking?"

Song Yanpei's smile softened and her eyes followed the man's tall back.

It was an ordinary white shirt. It turned out that when he was not wearing a jacket, he lost his maturity and looked so tough and young.

She was satisfied with Zhou Xiangqun. She liked his integrity, his straight spine, and his down-to-earth manner when he didn't speak human words.

She likes the smile on his face when he coaxes Xicheng, and even more likes the filial look on his face that cares about his family. He is a man who has been raised well by the Zhou family with all their heart, and she really can't express it in words.

Since that incident.

To show his gratitude, Song Yanpei had another reason to get close to Zhou Xiangqun.

Waiting for each other, a foregone conclusion that has been arranged by the family.
