time-limited addiction

Shen Jing followed Zhou Xiangqun with an empty bottle in her hand.

The corridor is lit with lights.

He has a majestic body, carefully protects his nephew in his arms, and loves to smile at his nephew with a pair of gentle eyebrows.

Zhou Xicheng hugged Zhou Xiangqun's neck with his small hands and blinked, "Ba... you are scolding Xicheng."

"Why?" Zhou Xiangqun asked.

The little thing's nose turned red, "Dad, pull it back...Xicheng is not good."

Such a little one will definitely be scolded by the second child.

She was designated to offend Shen Jing, but the second child was playing favorites.

Zhou Xiangqun put his arm on his nephew's little back, comforting him gently. He was doted on by someone, and he lay on Zhou Xiangqun's shoulder, crying and feeling aggrieved, and his shoulders trembled.

Zhou Xiangqun's care was overwhelming.

"It's okay, uncle, let's take you to see the birds, okay?"

When Zhou Xicheng said there were birds, he immediately stopped crying, clapped his little hands and laughed.

Shen Jing laughed accordingly.

He said, "Xicheng is a sensible kid. During the time I was in the courtyard, I didn't dare to go home late after work, for fear that he would be too observant and have to wait for me before eating."

Coincidentally.

Song Yanpei walked in and met the two people.

Song Yanpei straightened up his appearance, smiled and nodded at Shen Jing.

After all, it’s not familiar yet.

Shen Jing responded with a smile.

He saw Sister Fang leading the way and taking Song Yanpei to the bathroom.

Until Song Yanpei's figure disappeared behind the Yimen.

Zhou Xiangqun introduced Shen Jing, "The Zhou family has appointed her."

Shen Jing replied in a low voice, "I heard that Sister Fang said that my eldest brother has been very worried about Miss Song these days and has no appetite to eat."

Really good at passing it on.

The smile on Zhou Xiangqun's lips couldn't be suppressed. He turned his face and asked, "Do you think she is suitable for me?"

Shen Jing always lowered her head, "I shouldn't judge myself. Whether we are suitable or not is my eldest brother's private matter."

He lowered his gaze and said, "I want to tell the truth."

There was no response from Shen Jing for a long time, and the corridor was so quiet that there was only the sound of two people's footsteps.

"We fed mosquitoes together." He added.

Shen Jing answered directly, "It's appropriate."

It seems.

Everyone thinks it’s appropriate.

Zhou Xiangqun stopped and reached out to touch the safety knot of the light box for his nephew in his arms to play with.

"Why is it suitable? Do you understand me and her?"

She thought of the mosquitoes in the turnip field, and then said, "I don't know what my eldest brother is like."

"However, although Miss Song seems shy, since she came to the courtyard, everyone in the family feels that my eldest brother's mood has changed a lot. Don't let your high position constrain you. When you get home, your eldest brother is very good to us. I think so The eldest brother is humane and not as serious as on TV. He is like a warm and normal person. I have always felt comfortable getting along with him. I think Miss Song thinks the same way. You are worthy of becoming a family member."

He nodded and said thank you.

Then he changed the topic without showing any emotion.

It was nothing more than asking about Zhou Lüchen and going out to socialize at night.

Unconsciously walked to the restaurant.

Zhou Xiangqun stepped out of the way and motioned for Shen Jing to go in first, "I'll take Xicheng to see the birds. You eat first."

Song Yanpei heard this and stopped beside him, teasing his little nephew with a smile.

inadvertently.

The two people's eyes meet.

The corners of Song Yanpei's mouth were raised wider, and the irony seemed to be saying: Don't you dare to eat at the same table with me?
Zhou Xiangqun's brows furrowed slightly, but in the next second he decisively carried Xicheng into the restaurant.

"Xiao Zhang, bring the bird to coax Xicheng."
-
at night.

Zhou Xiangqun is going out to meet friends.

But they learned that Song Yanpei was staying in the courtyard.

The reason was Shen Jing's invitation.

She would not refuse and had no choice but to agree to live with Shen Jing in the back attic.

The back attic is quite lively, and there are also children laughing. Shen Jing is always good at opening her mouth. She will open NetEase Cloud for Song Yanpei and listen to a few pieces of Pingtan with a Su accent.

He recalled Shen Jing's words.

It doesn't count as knowing him.

Apart from the warmth provided by the Zhou family, he has always lived alone emotionally.

How many people squeezed their heads to get into Zhou's house, and how many businessmen offered all kinds of honey traps to please him. It was not that he had never encountered them before. They smiled and turned their heads, but he solved them all with a piece of paper.

Due to his own identity, he is very guarded and has no desire to be romantic. He can even be said to be a bit mysophobic and has not had much contact with any girls.So far, I am alone.

Do you really have to get married and start a family in your life?

forget about it.

Tomorrow is not the weekend.

Zhou Xiangqun lay down to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the door was knocked open.

I thought it was Sister Fang coming.

Zhou Xiangqun patiently put on his clothes and stood up, opening the door.

Seeing Song Yanpei with his arms crossed, he said, "Your brother and sister were picked up by Master Zhou. It's not suitable for me to live in your house alone."

Second child, second child, do you have a heart? Are you a human being?

"So?" he asked.

Song Yanpei: "Let's go back first."

Zhou Xiangqun glanced at her, then went back to the house to get his coat and handed it to Song Yanpei, "Is the driver here?"

She puts it on herself.

"Coming."

Regardless of the city, even if there is no traffic jam in the middle of the night, it can take an hour to get from the northern suburbs to the western district.

Come over to the Song family mansion.

Zhou Xiangqun thought for a while, "Do you know the way?"

Song Yanpei shrugged and immediately smiled innocently at him.

"Can you deliver me? It would be boring to wait for the driver alone."

"Wait." He buttoned up his coat and raised his hand to signal Song Yanpei to take the first step, "Let's go." Song Yanpei would not refuse his fiancé and insisted on sending him out of the alley area.

She was wearing Zhou Xiangqun's coat and followed him.

do not speak.

As long as Zhou Xiangqun was at home, the door to the courtyard was never locked.

He opened the door, let Song Yanpei go out first, and then slowly closed the door.

The gatekeeper didn't look over.

Song Yanpei's eyes suddenly shifted and he asked in a low voice, "If we leave in the middle of the night, won't he think we are secretly having a tryst?"

tryst?

This question comes from a simple and unsophisticated way.

Think about yourself, what do you know?

Zhou Xiangqun whispered, "His duty is not to pay attention to you."

Song Yanpei, follow him on the roadside.

"I heard from my grandfather that your compound faces the two seas of Chang'an and An'an."

"Ah."

The street lights were dim, making his back look dark. His straight waist and broad back blended well into the night.

Song Yanpei was out of sight, looking straight at his back and stepping on the traces of his footsteps.

The lights and shadows intertwined, and his shadow was split into three parts on the road.

"You are too reluctant to talk to me. Why did you pick me up for dinner?"

His mood remained unchanged, "You are my fiancée."

Song Yanpei did not accept this sentence.

"The explanation is still very reluctant."

Zhou Xiangqun suddenly turned around and caught her looking at his back.

She didn't panic at all, she only blinked once, as if to say: Keep your back in front of your eyes, and don't tilt your eyes to the sky.

How to describe it.

However, her authenticity and sincerity are easy to impress people.

Zhou Xiangqun's lips twitched and he continued to walk ahead.

"What explanation do you want? Do I need to make it up for you?"

Song Yanpei said firmly, "You definitely can't make it up."

"They all said that you are only good at work and don't know anything about love between children."

"I don't agree with these remarks. In my opinion, you are obviously very good at making Xicheng happy and are kind to Xicheng. It's just that I don't feel the same way about you."

Zhou Xiangqun was not afraid of being seen through by Song Yanpei and smiled slightly.

What exactly he was laughing at was hidden so deeply that Song Yanpei didn't know.

He said, "I thought Miss Song was only passionate about work, but I didn't expect that she would come to spy on my thoughts."

Song Yanpei was very calm and replied, "You are my fiancé."

Zhou Xiangqun had nothing to say.

The fiancée's reaction was straightforward and sincere.

The Song family's car has arrived.

Stopping firmly next to Song Yanpei, the driver got out of the car and opened the rear door.

Song Yanpei took off his jacket and handed it back to Zhou Xiangqun, "Thank you."

Zhou Xiangqun naturally put his coat in his crooked arms and said, "Walk slowly."

He didn't even wait for her car to leave first, but turned around and walked back to the alley.

Song Yanpei paused as he got into the car, "Let me tell you, have you been worried about me these past few days?"

Zhou Xiangqun's voice was flat, "You are my fiancée, it's settled, isn't it?"

again.

Fiancée was dismissed with three words.

Song Yanpei was really a little disappointed.

"Don't all these Zhou people have a heart?"

Zhou Xiangqun walked back to the courtyard all night and had dinner in the evening. The courtyard was originally quite lively, but at midnight there were a few people missing from the house, so the old lady and grandpa went to bed early.

The courtyard became quiet and peaceful.

He walked back to Jingtai Pavilion alone.

Since then.

The Zhou and Song families became more frequent, and they would gather together for meals on simple occasions.

Min Yanxi's small mouth came up and asked, "When can I call you uncle."

There are no taboos for children to talk.

Zhou Xiangqun laughed it off.
-
Fence by the lake.

He saw Zhou Lüchen in a black shirt leisurely feeding fish, with Zhuang Ming standing upright next to him.

We were talking about the Union Bank branch.

At dusk, the late tide hits the lake surface, fish surge in, and the water surface sparkles with golden light.

Zhou Xiangqun walked aside, stood firm, and waited until they finished talking before speaking.

"Our son is having a good time on Tuesday."

Zhou Lüchen spread some fish food, his knuckles were white and noble, and his movements were quite careless.

"I had already anticipated that my eldest brother's marriage would be a major event. The Zhou family's arrangement was to join forces with a strong and stable family in Beijing. If it wasn't for me to have an arranged marriage, then it would be you. Do you regret switching over?"

Zhou Xiangqun faced the sunset and said, "I have no regrets."

"On the other hand, we, the second young master, are running to unite the two countries. Are you tired?"

What can I be tired of?

Zhou Lüchen put down the fish jar, "I didn't intend to take the path you did. I just wanted to live freely, so I feel sorry for you to go all the way for me."

If you live a smooth life, you can really say that if you want everything to be simple, how can you talk about grievances?Zhou Xiangqun's voice was thick and steady, "It's not bad, Miss Song is fine."

Zhou Luchen turned his eyes sideways and smiled slightly.

"You have come this far by acquiescing to the arrangement of the clan, and Miss Song is affectionate and righteous to you, so don't let it down."

Zhou Xiangqun laughed out loud, "Come around, you are trying to trick me on purpose."

He was never wary of Zhou Lüchen. Even if he was, he was once a cynical second master. It was not difficult for Zhou Lüchen to understand Zhou Xiangqun's thoughts.

Zhou Lüchen walked past Zhou Xiangqun and said calmly, "Don't let me down, you taught me this kind of useless advice."

Zhuang Ming followed and left, forgetting the fish jar, then turned back and placed it in Zhou Xiangqun's hands.

"You feed the fish slowly, the second master is going back to take care of the children."
