Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

After Su Fengnan left, the atmosphere in the rest area immediately became quiet.

The Zhang siblings sat down and waited, Zhou Chenyu not even glancing at them. Remembering that Su Fengnan's hand injury was caused by this girl, he gave her an even colder look.

He thought for a moment, then walked over and handed the camera bag to Zhao Chuan, telling him to leave first. He then headed straight for the restroom—he planned to wait for Su Fengnan outside.

In the restroom, Su Fengnan finished using the toilet and washed her hands, standing in front of the sink, feeling annoyed. "Ugh, how can I be so naive?" she thought. "My soul is already in its thirties, and it's not like I've never seen a man before. It's just a title, yet I'm acting like a shy little girl." She couldn't help but despise herself inwardly.

But why was this happening? She couldn't figure it out. No, she seemed to grasp a fleeting thought that crossed her mind—it was a sudden flutter of the heart, and this wasn't the first time she'd felt this way.

Although she had been married and had children in her past life, she had never felt a spark of attraction for anyone; she had always just settled for someone. Back then, her bottom line was that she had to finish the path she had chosen, even if she had to crawl on her knees.

In this life, Zhou Chenyu was an unexpected surprise for her. He was handsome, had a great physique, and subtly cared for her; she wasn't someone who could remain indifferent. But... could she really have someone like him? Moreover, she felt that Zhou Chenyu wasn't as simple as he seemed. Although she spent a lot of time with him, she still knew nothing about him.

Sigh, she doesn't even know how to get along with Zhou Chenyu anymore. She's most afraid of ambiguity, and now she feels uncomfortable whenever she's around Zhou Chenyu, and all she wants to do is run away.

"You're already out, what are you still standing here thinking about?"

Zhou Chenyu waited for a while, but when Su Fengnan didn't come out, he went straight to the door. To his surprise, he saw Su Fengnan standing in front of the sink, lost in thought.

Su Fengnan turned her head and saw Zhou Chenyu. She quickly strode out, not daring to look at him, and her heart began to ache again: "Um... Brother Zhou, what brings you here?"

"I'll wait for you." Zhou Chenyu looked at Su Fengnan's awkward expression and wanted to laugh.

"oh."

"Nannan, please allow me to call you that from now on, okay?"

Just then, someone came to use the restroom, so Su Fengnan quickly moved away and left the restroom one after the other with Zhou Chenyu.

As they were about to enter the rest area, Zhou Chenyu suddenly grabbed Su Fengnan's wrist: "Are you angry?"

Su Fengnan instinctively pulled her hand away and bit her lip: "I'm not angry. Brother Zhou, I just... don't understand why you call me that, and I'm not used to it."

"What? Your classmate can call you Su Su, so why can't I call you Nan Nan? Don't be so sensitive, girl. I'll call you that a few more times, and you'll get used to it."

Zhou Chenyu felt that now was not the time to confess his feelings; he wouldn't do anything unprepared. If the girl rejected him and didn't go with him, but instead went with those two troublesome people, he would lose out. He could only find an excuse first.

Su Fengnan looked up at him, her eyes filled with inquiry: "Is that so?"

"We'll talk about this when we get back to Zijiang. For now, let's deal with those two, okay?" Zhou Chenyu said gently, trying to soothe them.

Su Fengnan lowered her head somewhat dejectedly and softly replied, "Mm."

"If you want to go out to eat with them, I'll go with you. After we eat, we'll go back to the city. My two younger sisters are waiting for us at the hotel."

Hearing Zhou Chenyu say that, Su Fengnan suppressed her slight disappointment and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Zhou. Let's go then."

When the two returned, the Zhang siblings were still sitting there waiting.

"I'm sorry, Zhang Xinrui, I've kept you waiting."

"Su Fengnan, can we go eat now?" Zhang Xinrui immediately stood up and grabbed her arm.

Su Fengnan nodded in agreement, then added, "This is my friend Zhou Chenyu. We came together. Can he come with me?"

"Of course, let's go." Zhang Xinrui said, and took Su Fengnan's arm and walked ahead.

Actually, the brother and sister had already discussed it before Su Fengnan returned. Su Fengnan definitely wouldn't go with them alone, and they wouldn't want to put Su Fengnan in a difficult position.

Soon, the four of them left the Chrysanthemum Exhibition Villa and arrived at the nearby hot spring resort, which took only ten minutes to walk there. There was a restaurant there, and Zhang Wenhao had already made a reservation by phone.

The Zhang siblings had originally planned to come to the hot springs with friends and have lunch together. However, because they accompanied Su Fengnan and waited for Zhou Chenyu, they missed their lunch gathering. By then, it was already past 1 p.m., and their friends had long since finished eating and were soaking in the hot springs.

Because it was a holiday, there were quite a lot of people coming to soak in the hot springs. There were several people in each pool, it was like dumplings being boiled in water.

In the restaurant, Zhou Chenyu kept putting food on Su Fengnan's plate, and soon her bowl was overflowing with food.

"Brother Zhou, you should eat too. Don't just focus on me." Su Fengnan returned the favor by putting a piece of food on Zhou Chenyu's plate.

The Zhang siblings watched their practiced and natural movements, as if this was perfectly normal between them.

Zhang Wenhao saw this and felt a pang of jealousy. He had only just begun to develop feelings for a girl when she was already taken.

Zhang Xinrui was rather simple-minded and didn't pay much attention to her brother's thoughts. Instead, she chattered away with Su Fengnan. She did most of the talking, with Su Fengnan occasionally replying.

The two girls gossiped about everything from what they liked to eat to what books they liked to read and which celebrities they liked to watch. The two grown men next to them listened quietly and didn't say much.

However, Su Fengnan felt something was off when Zhang Xinrui repeatedly mentioned liking Hu Ge, the male lead in "Chinese Paladin".

She tentatively asked, "Zhang Xinrui, you're so good-looking, why don't you try applying to film school? Maybe you can even meet your dream star then."

"Sigh, I want to too! But my parents don't agree." Zhang Xinrui's tone was tinged with melancholy.

"So you've been studying dance for years and it's just going to be a hobby? Haven't you ever thought about studying it as a major?"

"My mom thought about it when I was little, but later she would never agree to anything related to art and insisted that I follow the path they had planned for me."

"That's a pity."

"You're your parents' darling, how could they let you go and act like an actress!"

As soon as Zhang Wenhao said this, all three of them looked at him. Zhang Xinrui, in particular, looked like she was about to cry; she hadn't expected her brother to think this way.

"Don't look at me like that. That's not what I think. These are your mother's exact words." Zhang Wenhao's voice trailed off at the end, clearly realizing he had said the wrong thing.

"Brother, tell me! If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm going with Su Fengnan and I'm not going back with you!" Zhang Xinrui said angrily.

Su Fengnan was exasperated. They were having a perfectly good conversation, so why did Zhang Wenhao have to be so sarcastic? Her expression darkened as she stared at Zhang Wenhao, waiting to see what kind of nonsense he would spout.

Zhou Chenyu didn't want to take another person with her, and glared at him with unfriendly eyes, as if to say: Why don't you hurry up and appease your own sister?
