Chapter 276: Photos
"I didn't answer your call, don't you want to recognize me as a grandfather?" Old Man An didn't look up, but said quietly.
Ning Chuyi pulled out the chair in front of the table and sat down, leaned back on the chair, put his hands on the table, looked at the photo album in Old Man An's hand, and did not speak.
If it was in the past, if she didn't respond to him, Old Man An would definitely be angry, but now he just sighed heavily.
"In the past two days, I have thought back to the past and found that I can't remember what you looked like when you were a child, but fortunately, Lao Pan has always collected your photos in the book before he died, and I realized that I missed so many when I looked at these photos. ”
Hearing this, Ning Chuyi's eyes fell on the thick album again, because in the opposite direction, she didn't even realize that the protagonists in the album were all her.
Grandpa Pan......
Ning Chuyi's hand on the table curled his fingers, from childhood to adulthood, Grandpa Pan was like her real relative, taking care of her meticulously.
On the day of Grandpa Pan's ashes burial, she accompanied Yi Chuning in the hospital and did not attend the burial ceremony.
At that time, there were some complaints about Grandpa Pan, if he hadn't done those things, her life would not have been up and down like this.
After a while, she has also let go of that little prejudice, no matter what, Grandpa Pan's kindness to her can't be disguised.
"Maybe it's really that people are getting old, and after the people around them leave one by one, they feel extra lonely. Lao Pan, I don't care about the things you did in the past, you wait for me below, and the two brothers can be companions together. Old man An said sadly.
Ning Chuyi felt her heart contract, she frowned and said, "What do you say, Grandpa Pan has to wait for you to say that the scourge will last for a thousand years, so that you won't be finished so soon." ”
The scourge is a thousand years old......
The corner of Old Man An's mouth twitched, and the emotional card was almost shattered, but fortunately, he had not worked in vain for so many years, he controlled his expression in time, did not raise his eyes to look at Ning Chuyi, just looked at the photo album, and his old hand stroked the children's version of Chuyi on the photo over and over again.
Ning Chuyi couldn't stand such an old man An, from her point of view, the old man was really old.
In the past, the old man would dye his hair regularly to take care of his image, but since Grandpa Pan died, the newly grown white hair on his head has not been taken care of, and the skin on his face looks a lot looser, and the whole person has aged a lot.
Especially at this time, the sad expression is completely different from the image of the old fox that was invincible in the past.
The chairman is old, and every day is one day less......
Yan Zixi's words seemed to still echo in his ears.
Ning Chuyi Huo Ran stood up and walked out, she was a little afraid to think about the fact that this bad old man might leave at any time.
"Is it so reluctant to even talk to me?" asked Old Man Ann with a sigh behind her.
Ning Chuyi stopped, didn't look back, and replied lightly: "You think too much, I'm tired for a day today, so I'll go back to my room to rest first, and you can go to bed early." ”
Speaking of this, she paused and added: "I'll play chess with you another day." ”
After speaking, she opened the door of the study, and when she saw Yan Zixi standing outside, she didn't say anything, and went upstairs directly.
Yan Zixi watched her leave, and then walked into the study.
"This stinky girl really eats soft and not hard. The expression on Old Man An's face swept away the previous sadness.
Yan Zixi smiled slightly, and his gaze fell on the photo album in front of the old man.
Xiao Chuyi, who is wearing pigtails and has a pair of big eyes and looks at the camera ignorantly, is so cute.
He hadn't seen a photo like Ning Chuyi before.
"Can I take a look at these pictures?"
Old Man An pushed the album in front of him and sighed: "Speaking of which, that girl was cute when she was young, she would hug my legs and ask for a hug, and she would kiss my face." ”
Yan Zixi looked at the past carefully one by one, Ning Chuyi in his youth was indeed quite cute, small, delicate and cute, and his eyes were pure like fledglings.
He could imagine how cute the young version of Ning Chuyi was based on these photos, and at this moment he was extremely envious of Yi Chuning.
Only Yi Chuning experienced the innocent period of Ning Chuyi.
The photos in the album are sorted in chronological order, from far to near, page by page, Ning Chuyi on the photo is also growing up a little bit, and his appearance is also changing a little bit.
The immaturity slowly faded, and the eyes changed from smart to sharp.
Ning Chuyi had quite a lot of photos before he was 14 years old, but between the age of 14 and the age of 16, there were only two photos, one was obviously taken secretly, and the other was an ID photo.
In that candid photo, the girl is sitting in front of the piano, her hands on the keys but not moving, she is looking out the window in a daze, not knowing what she is thinking.
Her side face is like a fine brushstroke, fresh and beautiful, but she inexplicably gives people a feeling of loneliness.
On the remaining ID photo, it was obvious that Ning Chuyi was unhappy at that time, her eyes were much more calm and introverted, and there was no smile on her face at all.
Yan Zixi's fingertips stayed on this page for a while before turning it over gently.
Ning Chu's photos after the age of sixteen regained her former smile, and she began to wear makeup during this period, with some makeup on the photos, not thick, but making the whole person look more mature and beautiful.
Seeing a photo of Ning Chuyi smiling happily in a small floral dress, the familiar feeling instantly brought a picture to his mind.
It was their first solo date in the strict sense of the word.
At the time, he was working part-time as a waitress at a high-end restaurant, and she came in after class wearing her high school uniform, only to be denied entry because her clothes did not meet the restaurant's dining requirements.
She made a phone call, and a team of people came, some people took clothes, some people carried shoeboxes, and some people took makeup bags......
Even the restaurant manager was alarmed.
"Yan Zixi, you come and choose one for me. The girl raised her chin slightly, and her expression was bright as she spoke.
He chose this little floral dress tucked in a pile of dresses.
Then, she changed into this skirt and was respectfully invited into the restaurant by the restaurant manager and took the best seat.
"I heard that you have to come to eat in pairs, after all, it is the rules of your store, if I don't follow it, it will be too unreasonable," she looked at him who was standing silently next to the manager with a cunning look in her eyes, "In this way, let him come to eat with me, and the delayed work hours will be deducted from my expenses." ”
That night, for the first time in his life, Yan Zixi had a high-profile dinner with someone in such a high-end restaurant.
That night, he ate a lot of good food, was dragged to a movie, and came home later than usual, but had a happier time than ever.
The photo was taken by him, at her request, in front of a movie poster in the cinema.
