After urging Dong Qiliang and Lin Xueer in the company to prepare relevant materials for the board meeting tomorrow morning, Zhou Nan returned home at around seven o'clock in the evening. After going back to eat and take a shower, he lay on the bed and read for a while.
Falling asleep.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, the phone on the bedside suddenly rang, waking him up.
Zhou Nan frowned and grabbed the phone. Without looking at the caller number, he said in a deep voice unhappily, "Who are you calling so late?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then a soft voice sounded like the sound of nature, "Sorry to bother you, Zhou Nan, I'm Lan Ruo."
Zhou Nan got excited and sat upright. He laughed a little unexpectedly and excitedly, "Haha, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, Director Lan. Why, the banquet in the city is over?"
"You can just call me Lan Ruo from now on, don't be so harsh." Lan Ruo smiled softly, "Your city leaders are too enthusiastic and drank a lot of wine from me... Zhou Nan, if - if it's convenient, you...
Can the landlord take me to see the night view of Haidu? I have been to Haidu several times, but I have never gone out to see it. I can't sleep and want to go out for a walk..."
Zhou Nan stood up and said hurriedly, "Just wait for me for a few minutes, I'll be there soon!"
"Well, I'll change clothes and wait for you at the door of the hotel."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Nan changed into sky blue sportswear, picked up the car keys and walked out. His mother Yue Ping was watching TV in the living room. When she saw Zhou Nan walking out, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "Nan Nan, it's so late.
Where are you going?"
"Mom, I have something to do, you don't need to worry about me." Zhou Nan left the door happily after saying this.
The waves are rolling, the sea breeze is blowing, and the night is as cool as water.
The sky is full of stars twinkling, and the long coastline in the eastern part of Haidu City is immersed in the dark night. Only the two rows of tall streetlights on both sides of the coastal landscape avenue in the distance emit dim light. Looking from here,
The lights swayed and formed a faint dragon of light, extending infinitely into the depths of the night.
Zhou Nan parked the car at the end of the landscape avenue, then got out of the car and walked along the coastline with Lan Ruo.
From a chance encounter, to a fateful date, to today being alone together like lovers, being able to accompany the goddess in his heart to complete this journey of listening to the waves, for Zhou Nan, is already considered an incomparable blessing from God.
It has actually been quite a while since we quietly picked up Lan Ruo from the Haidu Hotel. It is already close to early morning. But whether they are driving on the road or taking a leisurely stroll together, the two of them don't talk much and the atmosphere is somewhat awkward.
Dull.
For Lanruo, she actually had no idea why she made that phone call to Zhou Nan by mistake, and when she made the call, her heart was filled with expectations. But when she actually met Zhou Nan, she
Don't know what to say.
It seems that there are thousands of words to say, but it also seems to be full of blanks.
A gust of sea breeze blew by, and Lan Ruo's long black hair was blown up by the night wind, swaying on Zhou Nan's face and forehead next to her, giving him a cool feeling, but also a bit of sweet and warm feeling.
Zhou Nan couldn't help turning his head to look at Lan Ruo. Under the dim street lights, Zhou Nan's eyes were filled with uncontrollable tenderness. This touch of unforgettable attachment and longing that had been separated from the past and present and that had traveled through the time and space blockade made Lan Ruo subconsciously
Di Xiafei's cheeks trembled, and a different, indescribable feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Her heartstrings were struck by this feeling again. And ever since she reunited with Zhou Nan in Haidu that day, this feeling had struck her heartstrings countless times.
This feeling confused her and made her confused.
She simply couldn't understand how the young man beside her, who was far from close to her, could make her confused and obsessed over and over again.
But at this time, if Lan Ruo still doesn't understand that Zhou Nan has some deep feelings for her, then she is not Lan Ruo. If she was not sure before, but now there are thousands of affectionate glances so close at hand, it is enough
It explains everything.
Although he had no words, Zhou Nan never confessed to her.
Lan Ruo's heart was throbbing, she was a little happy, a little shocked, a little confused, and a little anxious.
Lan Ruo stood there blankly, not knowing how to face Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan quietly stared at the angelic, holy and flawless face in front of him, his eyes as gentle as water.
On the deserted landscape avenue, the two of them stopped there in this awkward posture and were silent for a long time.
Suddenly, the tenderness in Zhou Nan's eyes became extremely firm. He reached out and slowly grabbed Lan Ruo's cold little hand. Zhou Nan could feel the little hand trembling slightly in his palm, but there was no
reject.
"Let's go!" Zhou Nan took Lan Ruo's hand and started running slowly. Lan Ruo followed Zhou Nan stiffly and passively at first, then she relaxed and simply followed Zhou Nan along the silent coastline toward the depths of the night.
Run away.
…
On the beach by the coast.
The two of them were sitting back to back on the beach, either looking up at the vast night sky, or staring at the sea where the sea breeze was rolling in the waves. The sound of the wind was intertwined with the sound of the waves hitting the shore. The two of them just sat quietly, almost
It becomes a solid landscape picture.
In fact, tonight is a very easy and suitable day to confess, and Lan Ruo secretly gave Zhou Nan this opportunity, but Zhou Nan did not confess.
And this is where Zhou Nan is smart. He understands in his heart that although Lan Ruo currently has some special vague affection for him and does not object to interacting with him, after all, the time between the two of them is still too short. If he confesses his love in a hurry, the effect will be
In fact, it will be counterproductive. Maybe it will scare Lan Ruo away.
Instead of doing this, it is better to keep this tender feeling and condense it into an unforgettable memory in the hearts of the two of them. As long as this memory cannot be erased, he will occupy a certain place in Lan Ruo's heart.
In fact, Zhou Nan could also deeply feel the beating of Lan Ruo's heart. This made him extremely happy, because it was a good start.
And next, both he and Lan Ruo need a natural opportunity to pierce this layer of window paper.
The night passed so quickly.
The sky to the east is white with fish belly, and on the seashore, more than a dozen seabirds are circling up and down, making piercing calls.
Zhou Nan slowly stood up and stretched out his hand to Lan Ruo, who was sitting on the beach, "Let's go back. It's dawn. Let's go back and rest for a while. We have a board meeting in the morning."
"Yes." Lan Ruo nodded lightly, stretched out her hand, and without any shyness or reserve, let Zhou Nan pull her up openly, and then they went back to the original route together.
Zhou Nan drove Lan Ruo back to Haidu Hotel. Lan Ruo got out of the car silently, suddenly looked back at Zhou Nan with a sly smile, and said in a low voice, "Chairman Zhou, when is it convenient for you to take me to see your personal Feiteng Group?"
"
Uh... Zhou Nan was a little shocked when he heard this. Before he could say anything, he saw Lan Ruo laughing and raising her hand to him, and then ran towards the courtyard of Haidu Hotel.
How did Lan Ruo know that she owned Feiteng Group? Did Ma Xiaojing say it? Zhou Nan immediately shook his head secretly, thinking it was impossible. Without his permission, Ma Xiaojing would never dare to leak this matter.
…
Lan Ruo tiptoed upstairs and walked to her room, like a thief. In her more than 20 years of life, she had never had such a different situation and feeling. Looking back, she felt
It was a little unbelievable: she actually sat alone with Zhou Nan on the beach for a night.
Although he didn't speak much, the distance between his hearts was quickly getting closer.
At the corner of the corridor, Lin Xueer suddenly appeared in front of Lan Ruo wearing pajamas. She looked at Lan Ruo with a strange and complicated expression, and lowered her voice and said, "Lan..."
Lan Ruo was startled, and her face suddenly turned red. But when she saw it was Lin Xueer, she put her hand on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Shh..."
Lan Ruo put a green-white and pink finger to her mouth, signaling Lin Xueer to keep quiet and go into the room before talking.
After entering Lan Ruo's room, Lan Ruo fell tiredly on the bed and stretched her graceful limbs comfortably.
Lin Xueer checked into the Haidu Hotel specifically to accompany Lan Ruo, but around ten o'clock in the evening, she who lived next door suddenly discovered that Lan Ruo had changed her clothes, quietly left the door and went downstairs, and what was waiting at the door was actually
It's Zhou Nan.
It was so late, and the two of them actually went out for a private meeting... This further confirmed Lin Xueer's previous doubts about the relationship between the two.
She stayed awake and waited for Lan Ruo. But time passed by little by little, and most of the night passed, but Lan Ruo still didn't come back... When she thought about this, Lin Xueer couldn't believe her eyes. Oh my God, Lan Ruo actually...
...actually spent the night outside with Zhou Nan!
Although Lin Xueer used to be Lan Ruo's assistant, because of their age, their personal relationship was still very close. Looking at Lan Ruo lying on the bed, Lin Xueer walked over gently, and before asking, Lan Ruo blushed and whispered.
Said, "Xue'er, Zhou Nan and I went for a drive and took a look at the night view of Haidu!"
Lin Xueer was speechless when she heard the words, her small and delicate nose twitched, "You guys have been driving around all night, my eldest lady..."
"Let's go to the beach and watch the sea...hehe."
"You've been looking at the sea all night and haven't done anything?" Lin Xueer muttered subconsciously, "Who would believe it? You're a liar."
"I was really playing at the beach for a while, and before I knew it..." Lan Ruo explained with a blush, but suddenly felt that her explanation was getting darker and darker, so she looked away awkwardly and simply stopped explaining.
