Chapter 077: The Old Man
After An Nian finished eating, he found an embarrassing question, whether to stay with Xiu Yu overnight. If he doesn't stay, it's already very late, and he doesn't feel at ease when he goes back alone, if he stays, what will the two of them do?
An Nian slowly picked up the fried noodles on the plate, and Xiu Yu was puzzled: "Aren't you hungry for a long time?" Why don't you eat it! ”
An Nian raised his head and smiled, "Hmm~ Maybe I'm too hungry, so I'm not hungry!" ”
Xiu Yu looked at the wall clock on the wall and said, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat, you won't be able to sleep if you eat too much at night!" ”
He was about to take away the plate in front of An Nian, but was protected by An Nian.
"I haven't eaten yet! I didn't say I wouldn't eat it~"
Xiu Yu sighed helplessly: "Okay~ Then you eat slowly." ”
An Nian lowered his head and continued to grill the ramen, Xiu Yu had already finished eating, holding his mobile phone and looking at something. An Nian looked up at him from time to time, frowning for a while, pouting for a while, and sighing for a while.
Xiu Yu raised her eyes and glanced at An Nian, but she immediately lowered her head. Xiu Yu smiled dumbly and said, "You eat quickly, I'll wash the dishes in a while, and I'll go back!" ”
An Nian raised his head and looked at him, the corners of his mouth were stained with tomato juice, and he looked at Xiu Yu blankly. Looking at An Nian's appearance, Xiu Yu couldn't help laughing.
He leaned forward and wiped the corners of An Nian's mouth, "Look at it, they are all in their twenties, and they still eat like this!" ”
"Oh?" An Nian stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, "It's not that you blame you for making it so delicious!" ”
"Yes, yes, blame me~ Then, have you finished eating? It's already past ten o'clock! ”
Xiu Yu's implication is that it is already past ten o'clock, and I still have to go home, whether you want to stay or not, but to say something.
Of course, whether Xiu Yu thinks this way, An Nian doesn't know, but An Nian thinks this way.
She nodded heavily, already having a decision in her mind.
"You, you, didn't you say to stay here today?"
Xiu Yu paused to clean up the plates, turned around and said to An Nian with a smile: "Today...... It's already good, I'm going to go back! ”
Before An Nian could say the next sentence, Xiu Yu went into the kitchen. An Nian scratched his head in annoyance, his expression must have been particularly ugly just now, so he said that!
When Xiu Yu packed everything up and came out, the snow outside had already fallen a thick layer, An Nian stood on the balcony and looked down, there was no one walking around in the community, only the bright street lamps. You can see some small snowflakes fluttering.
"What are you looking at? Go to sleep! I'll be back to work tomorrow! ”
An Nian walked in from the balcony, his hands behind his back, rubbing them.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, and I don't have to go to work!"
Xiu Yu smiled awkwardly, "That's right! I forgot! Then go to bed early! I'll go first! ”
For some reason, it was okay at first, but now the scene has become very embarrassing.
Xiu Yu kept laughing and walked to the door, taking her coat, putting on her coat, and putting on her shoes, all now, she didn't expect An Nian to keep her, after all, tonight, she had already taken a big step.
Looking at Xiu Yu's movements, An Nian couldn't help but get nervous, and kneaded his two hands together.
Just when Xiu Yu was about to open the door, An Nian said, "Actually, ......"
Xiu Yu's eyes seemed to flash with a glimmer of starlight, "What's wrong?" ”
An Nian rubbed his hands and said, "Actually, I want to say that tomorrow is Saturday, you don't have to go back!" Just stay here! ”
He was actually very happy when he heard An Nian say such things, so it seemed that his efforts over the years had not been in vain. However, seeing An Nian's expression of looking at death as home, he didn't want to force it.
"Niannian, don't be reluctant, it's been so many years, I'll wait a little longer, it's okay!"
An Nian was a little anxious, he didn't expect that in front of him, Xiu Yu would become so humble. One of Xiu Yu's feet had already stepped out of the door, and she hurriedly chased after it and grabbed Xiu Yu's arm.
"No, no reluctance, I, I want you to stay!"
Xiu Yu was stunned, this time, he didn't say anything, he directly blocked An Nian's lips and closed the door with his backhand.
In the middle of the night, An Nian looked at the sleeping Xiu Yu beside him and smiled bitterly. When she saw Gu Shen again at the school celebration, she didn't think that she would be with Gu Shen again. However, the moment Gu Shen spoke, she knew that she couldn't go back.
Seventeen-year-old An Nian belongs to seventeen-year-old Gu Shen. That reckless, bold, and carefree An Nian, at that time, she had not tasted the ups and downs of life, but was just looking forward to the sweetness of love.
But that is seventeen years old, and all her happiness and sweetness have stopped at seventeen years old. That year was a node in her life, and from then on, there was only guilt, sadness, and helplessness.
Twenty-seven-year-old An Nian, who has tasted life and death, experienced the test of tea, rice, oil and salt, has long lost his innocence and smoothed out the edges and corners. At the most depressed time, fortunately, there was Xiu Yu by his side, and An Nian after the age of twenty-seven was Xiu Yu.
She turned around and hugged Xiu Yu and fell asleep.
When An Nian woke up again, Xiu Yu was no longer around, and she got up and opened the curtains. The sky was clear, the sun was shining on the snow, and the piercing eyes were painful. She adjusted for a while, and then turned to see Xiu Yu leaning against the door frame.
"When did you get up? I don't even know! An Nian asked.
Xiu Yu walked over, pulled her to the bed and sat down, and put her on slippers. He looked up and said, "Not long after I got up, don't go barefoot on the ground in the future!" ”
An Nian pouted and went to the living room, only to find that Xiu Yu's breakfast had been prepared, and the wall clock on the wall was eleven o'clock.
An Nian couldn't help but open her mouth wide, and said in her heart: Lie to me again, maybe breakfast has been heated a few times.
An Nian walked into the bathroom, brushing her teeth and complaining inarticulately: "Why don't you call me!" It's so late! ”
Xiu Yu shouted in the living room: "I was so tired last night, how could I be willing to call you!" ”
An Nian couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of foam and choked and coughed.
Xiu Yu hurried over, "What's wrong?" ”
An Nian's face was flushed, and she was even more embarrassed to see Xiu Yu. kept pushing him out of the door, and finally, he simply closed the bathroom door.
Xiu Yu stood at the door and smiled evilly.
After breakfast, which is equivalent to lunch, An Nian received a call from his brother. After a phone call, An Nian repeated like a repeater, without revealing the content of the phone at all.
"Is it Brother An Yan calling?" Xiu Yu asked.
An Nian sat beside her and sighed, "Yes, let me have time to open up next Saturday, my eldest niece is going to have a birthday." ”
Xiu Yu nodded, "That's good, why are you sad!" ”
An Nianyou sighed and said: "He asked me to prepare the gift money, I wonder if he is my own brother, and he thinks about letting me spend money on him every day." ”
"Haha, huh? is so wronged, I remember when you were in school, Brother An Yan didn't give you less 'investment'! ”
An Nian's expression froze, "Hehe, he also said, let me take you with me!" ”
Xiu Yu nodded, "Okay, I shouldn't have anything to do next week!" ”
An Nian looked at Xiu Yu and remembered when he was in college at that time. Xiu Yu is a prestigious university, so staying at the school is not a problem at all. However, as soon as he graduated, he wanted to run to his hometown, and the school teacher persuaded him many times before he was willing to stay.
At that time, An Nian had only graduated from college for another year, she was in a normal college, and she was interning at a primary school in Xincheng, but Xiu Yu had been working there for a year, and her position and salary were good.
However, after hearing that An Nian planned to stay in Xincheng, Xiu Yu was desperate, so he took a suitcase, gave up the high-paying job there, and went back to Xincheng to start from scratch.
It was because of this decision that Xiu's mother was angry and went to the hospital, and An Nian once became the person who interrupted Xiu's mother's future for a while.
"What are you looking at me for?" Xiu Yu asked with a smile.
An Nian pouted, "I can't look at you!" ”
Xiu Yu was helpless, "Okay!" ”
An Nian knew that Xiu Yu didn't care about what she said at all, even if she made any unreasonable requests, he would agree.
After looking at the phone for a while, Xiu Yu rubbed his eyebrows. An Nian slumped on the sofa watching the drama, looking at it like this, it was really no different from when he was a teenager.
"Niannian, let's go out for a walk!"
An Nian sat up, looked out the window, the sun was shining, it seemed to be fine, and nodded in agreement. If she was alone, she would never have gone out. Because she can't drive, she is too lazy to squeeze the bus, and it is too expensive to take a taxi. Therefore, I basically don't go shopping in winter, unless there is some reason to go.
When he went out, An Nian knew that the sun was shining and it was all an illusion, and the cold was the most powerful pretender.
The two drove out, and An Nian didn't ask Xiu Yu where he was going, so he let him take him away. Walking to the mall, Xiu Yu didn't stop, walked to the playground, roared by, and finally went directly out of the city.
"Where are we going?" An Nian asked weakly.
Xiu Yu sighed and said, "I want to go see someone!" ”
When he saw the words from the cemetery, An Nian knew who the person Xiu Yu was talking about. It's been a long time since she's been here, and it's been a long time since she's mentioned the person. Sometimes, she even forgets, always feeling that they are still there, but they have not been in touch for too long and are unfamiliar.
Xiu Yu went to park the car, and An Nian stood on the steps at the entrance of the cemetery waiting for him. It's been nearly ten years since she thought about it, and she had been to this place many times, and then she gradually became numb. No matter how many times she came, she couldn't get rid of the guilt in her heart.
Just when she was sighing about time and life, two people came to her, these two people, she couldn't be more familiar, and almost all the memories of her high school days. It was Su Qi and Gu Shen.
They each held a bouquet of flowers, all of which were small daisies. An Nian stood there, and the moment she saw Su Qi, she couldn't believe her eyes.
I haven't seen him for many years, Su Qi is no longer the ruffian boy who loves to laugh, his chin is full of stubble, and his eyes are full of vicissitudes.
"Long time no see, An Nian!"
