After simply tidying up the house, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Chen and Han Shu did not show too much tenderness, but walked out of the bedroom, called Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si who had also tidied up, and went out.
It’s time to eat.
There is a restaurant at the entrance of the community, so the four of them found a small restaurant and ordered a few dishes.
"Well, the food here in Shanghai is a lot lighter than the food here in Shanghai, and it's also a bit sweeter."
It was the first time for Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si to come to Shanghai, and it was also the first time to eat Shanghai local food. After taking a few bites, they expressed their thoughts.
"But it's not a big problem. I can adapt. I just don't know how the food in the school cafeteria tastes. I heard people say that the food in the university cafeteria tastes terrible. I don't know if that's true."
Among the four, Han Shu, the 'only' one who had gone to college, said: "It's not as unpalatable as you think. Some of it is quite good, and there are many kinds. It will depend on what you like to eat."
Li Si said to Cheng Miaomiao: "It's okay. If the school cafeteria is not delicious by then, I will take you to a restaurant outside the school."
"Forget it, this is Shanghai, and prices are much higher than in our oil field base. With our living expenses, let's save some money."
"Then wait until we have a holiday and take a car to Zhou Chen's place, and let him cook for us."
Zhou Chen immediately mocked: "Li Si, what you think is quite beautiful. I am your nanny, and you want me to do it. If you come, you can come as you like, but you must also learn to cook by yourself. Don't really just count on me."
I'm alone, I'm taking classes at university, so I might be quite busy."
He came to college not only to learn knowledge, but also to make money. He had promised Han Shu that he would marry her after graduation. Marriage required money, so he naturally had to spend time making money, so he couldn't give it to her.
Li Si and others work as free nannies.
Cheng Miaomiao volunteered and said, "No problem, I will learn to do it when the time comes."
She and Li Si are in the same school, the same major, and probably in the same class, so they will definitely travel at the same time.
After eating, Cheng Miaomiao grabbed Li Si and said to Zhou Chen and Han Shu: "Teacher Han, Zhou Chen, Li Si and I are all coming to Shanghai for the first time. It's still very early and we want to be nearby."
Let’s take a walk and go back to rest later.”
Han Shu said: "You are not familiar with this area. If you want to visit, I will take you."
"No, Teacher Han, we are not children anymore. We know where to live so we won't be unable to find a home. We just want to stroll around and get familiar with each other. We will definitely come to Zhou Chen's place often in the future."
Cheng Miaomiao quickly rejected Han Shu. It was true that she wanted to hang out with Li Si nearby, but she also wanted to make space for Zhou Chen and Han Shu to be alone.
She didn't know when Zhou Chen and Han Shu fell in love, and to what extent it had developed, but it was definitely right to give them more time alone.
Although Li Si is not very smart, he has worked with Cheng Miaomiao for many years, and after receiving the signal from Cheng Miaomiao's eyes, he immediately understood what she meant.
"Yes, Teacher Han, Miaomiao and I can just go shopping, you don't have to worry about us."
Zhou Chen also said: "Let them go. It's their first time in Shanghai and they must be very curious about it. Let them wander around by themselves and get familiar with it early."
So the four soldiers divided into two groups. Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao went to play together, while Zhou Chen and Han Shu went back to the rental house.
As soon as he separated from Li Si and the others, Zhou Chen took the initiative to hold Han Shu's hand. Han Shu struggled symbolically, and then let Zhou Chen hold her hand.
"Is this the first time we hold hands and walk alone on the street?"
"Um."
When he was at Lin Qi Oilfield, Zhou Chen respected Han Shu. For the sake of her reputation, although he secretly expressed his feelings for her, he did not have too much contact with her openly, let alone show any intimate behavior, so except for the two of them, in their own hearts
Apart from the vague understanding of the other party's thoughts, no one else knows their thoughts.
Their status at that time allowed them to walk together on the street, but it was absolutely impossible for them to walk hand in hand and walk as intimately as a couple like they do now.
The summer wind at night gently blew Han Shu's long hair, and her face was filled with a happy smile. This was not only the first time they walked hand in hand on the street, but it was also the first time she walked hand in hand with a man.
This feeling is really good.
"I took care of senior high school students in my last year at Linqi Oilfield. It's almost the end of August now. I will go back to Linqi Oilfield in two days. I won't be able to come back until the winter vacation and the Chinese New Year."
She went to Linqi Oilfield to teach just to gain experience, and she didn't plan to stay forever. If it weren't for Zhou Chen, she might have stayed for one or two more years, but now that Zhou Chen had passed the exam in Shanghai, she naturally wouldn't
She plans to continue to stay, which means she is reluctant to take care of the students she has taught for two years, otherwise she will not go after this summer vacation.
"So after I go back to Linqi Oilfield, I may not see you for half a year."
When the relationship was first established, it was supposed to be the time when they were together and the relationship was heating up, so naturally she couldn't let go of Zhou Chen, but she was also a responsible person and couldn't possibly put aside her work for Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen consoled him: "It doesn't matter. If our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night? We will spend a lot of time together in the future. When you return to Shanghai to work, we can meet at any time."
Han Shu said: "There are many beautiful girls in college. If you are so good, you will definitely be liked by many girls."
She knew that Zhou Chen was very popular with girls in high school, and some people wrote love letters to Zhou Chen. Even Li Chunhua in her class also liked Zhou Chen.
Female students in high school still know how to be embarrassed and will not express it easily, but girls in college are different. Girls in college are adults and are much more courageous than high school students. Excellent boys like Zhou Chen have long
If you are handsome, smart, and good at studying, many girls will definitely like you.
Although she thought she was not bad, after all, she was more than six years older than Zhou Chen, and there were many girls who were better than her in the university, so of course she was worried.
Zhou Chen stopped, looked at Han Shu with tender eyes, and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter to me whether other girls are pretty or not. The one I like is you, and everything I said to you is true."
, I will wait for you to come back in Shanghai, and I will also talk to you on the phone every day. When you come back, we can always be together."
"I believe you, but I just feel that being in two cities would make me a little worried."
Long-distance relationships are a test for couples. What's more, it's Han Shu's first time falling in love, so the feeling of worrying about gains and losses is very serious.
Zhou Chen hugged her into his arms and said softly: "Don't worry, I don't promise easily, but since I told you, I will never break my promise. I promise not to have too much sex with other girls in college."
I will wait for you wholeheartedly, and you can finish your last year in Lin Qier Middle School with peace of mind."
"Um."
Han Shu also knew that her worries were unnecessary, but she still couldn't help but want to say it out because she really wanted to develop a relationship with Zhou Chen instead of hastily. It was precisely because she had a long-term relationship and could even be together forever.
This kind of thinking leads to such worries about gains and losses.
The two of them returned to the gate of the community together. Zhou Chen held Han Shu's hand and suddenly said: "You will go back to Lin Qi'er Middle School in two days. There is not much time left for us to be together. Otherwise, we will go back tonight."
Don’t leave, let’s have a nice talk tonight.”
But Han Shu gave Zhou Chen a big look. Even at her age, she still didn't know what Zhou Chen was planning.
"No, I'm still living at home. I just made an excuse when I came out today. If I don't go home at night, my parents will probably call the police."
"Then can't you make another excuse?"
"That won't work either. Let's not talk about whether my parents will believe it. Let's just say that Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao are still there today, so I can't stay there."
These are indeed reasons, but the most important thing is that she is not mentally prepared yet. They only established their relationship today. Although the progress is very fast, she never thought of handing herself over to Zhou Chen so soon.
I never thought I would stay home all night with Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen actually asked tentatively. In fact, he knew in his heart that she couldn't be worried. After all, when a boyfriend or girlfriend is in love, one party will always launch an attack. No matter whether it succeeds or not, they have to give it a try, otherwise they can only
Staying where you are.
Han Shu lived in the Hongkou District next door and had been with Zhou Chen for a long time. Then she received a call from home and had to leave. She kissed Zhou Chen goodbye before getting into a taxi home.
Zhou Chen returned home for a while before Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao came back.
"Teacher Han is gone?"
After Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao came back, they looked around the room and saw that Zhou Chen was the only one, so they asked.
"Well, I'm back."
Upon hearing that Han Shu had left, Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao pulled Zhou Chen to the sofa and sat down.
"Leniency for confession."
"Resistance is severe."
"Tell me the truth, what's going on with you two?"
"When did you start? Did you take the initiative to pursue her, or did she pursue you?"
"Zhou Chen, you are really not a human being. You actually hid it from us for so long and you succeeded. It's so unreasonable."
"Teacher Han is so beautiful. My brother-in-law didn't catch her at first, but you caught him. Why? Why don't you just grow taller, look better, and study better? Apart from these, what else do you have?
What do you have?"
"…………"
Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao were talking to each other like they were talking in cross talk. They couldn't stop talking and asked more than a dozen questions. Zhou Chen didn't say a word until they stopped.
"Have you finished asking? Do you have a hundred thousand whys? Where do you come from with so many questions? How do you want me to answer them?"
"Then you start from the beginning, explain honestly, and answer one by one."
Of course, Zhou Chen couldn't really tell them the truth, so he simply said: "There is nothing to explain. We both have a good impression of each other and like each other. If we have to say who chased whom first, then
It’s Han Shu who I pursued first. She’s beautiful and has a good personality, so there’s nothing wrong with me liking her, right?”
Li Si nodded seriously and said: "There is indeed nothing wrong with her. She looks like Shuzhen, so beautiful. I don't know how many teachers and students in our school like her. Of course, the kind of liking I mentioned,
It’s not the same as your situation.”
Cheng Miaomiao had a serious look on her face. She stood up and paced back and forth, as if she was possessed by Sherlock Holmes.
"No wonder, so many male teachers in the school pursued Teacher Han before, including my brother-in-law, but Teacher Han did not agree to anyone. I originally thought that she was too high-minded and looked down on others. Now that I look at it,
, it’s probably because you already have someone you like, so you don’t have feelings for others.”
"But like I just said, how did you create sparks? And she is several years older than you, right? Do you two really not care at all?"
Zhou Chen pushed Cheng Miaomiao's head aside: "What do you know? Love has no age or identity. As long as it doesn't violate the law and morality, why can't we be together?"
"That makes sense, but you guys are just too outrageous. If your relationship was exposed when you were in school, it would probably cause a huge commotion."
"You've guessed wrong. She and I only confirmed our relationship today. Before today, we were not in a relationship, so there is no such speculation as yours."
"ah?"
"ah?"
Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si looked shocked again.
"The relationship was just established today? Who are you kidding? You think we are stupid, but we saw you hugging each other and chewing each other at the train station. Is this called a newly established relationship?"
"What happened at the train station is true, but it is also true that we only established our relationship today. Maybe we both had a crush on each other before, but we never crossed it or made it clear. Today is the beginning of our true love.
"
"I see."
Cheng Miaomiao nodded as if she understood: "You used to hide it, I understand, you are just afraid of bad influence, right?"
Zhou Chen knocked on Cheng Miaomiao's head: "Oh, I didn't see it, Cheng Miaomiao, you actually have a brain."
"Go away."
Cheng Miaomiao slapped Zhou Chen's hand away: "You're going to knock me stupid again."
Li Si also hummed: "Zhou Chen, I'm warning you, you have a girlfriend now, don't touch Miaomiao again, otherwise, I will tell Teacher Han."
With that said, Zhou Chen pulled Li Si over, pushed him down on the sofa and blasted him with a blaster. He didn't let him go until Li Si begged for mercy repeatedly and even his uncle called him.
"Don't worry, Zhou Chen, we won't tell others what happened between you and Teacher Han." Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si promised, patting their chests.
Zhou Chen said: "I'm not afraid of others knowing, but now she has to teach at Lin Qi'er Middle School for another year, so it's better not to tell anyone about it this year. She will return to Shanghai next year, and then there will be no need to hide it."
"No problem. We both have very strict mouths. We promise not to tell anyone else this year. You and Teacher Han are so good to us, and we will never betray you."
Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si are actually not the kind of people who can hide secrets, but they are also very loyal. They also know that this matter has spread to Lin Qi Oilfield and will have a bad impact on Han Shu, so even if they know
After learning this big secret, they made up their minds and would never say another word.
"Let's wash up and go to bed first. I have agreed with Han Shu that I will take you to see the Bund tomorrow. Although the Bund is not much, I still want to see the Bund when I come to Shanghai."
For those who have been to the Bund, they may think there is nothing interesting to see there, but for those who are here for the first time, they are full of curiosity about the place, and the Bund is also a must-go place.
"Okay, I've heard about the Bund a long time ago, and now I finally have the chance to go and see it. It's great."
Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao were very excited. The last time they went to Xiangjiang, they didn't have much fun. After all, they only had a week and they were sick for a day. But this time it was different. They would stay there for the next few years.
There is enough time to visit various places in this city.
