Chapter 11 Preparing to Visit Mrs. Han
In a few moments, the door was half opened.
Shi Nuannuan's small figure stood behind the door, poked her head out and asked, "Han Shao, is there something wrong?" ”
There was only one lamp in the room, and Han Munian looked over her head and easily saw a stack of paper and a pen on the desk, looking like she was writing something.
"Busy?"
Shi Nuannuan glanced back at his gaze and smiled embarrassedly: "No, it's a trivial matter." ”
"Academically?" Han Munian was not a nosy person, but he wanted to talk to her more.
"Hmm...... Not counted. It was my high school Chinese teacher who asked me to write a reprint of a collection of essays. ”
"A collection of essays? What did you write? Han Munian searched for information about her in his mind.
According to the information collected by Xin Yue, she seems to have published a book in high school, but it is a collection with others.
Sure enough, she shook her head: "No, it's a collection with another classmate." ”
"I published books in high school, and I studied well." Han Munian was already a well-known business talent in China when he was studying, and there were very few opportunities for him to take the initiative to praise people.
Shi Nuannuan didn't realize how rare his praise was for ordinary people, she just showed a shy smile: "Thank you." ”
Seeing that she was still standing at the door honestly, without the slightest intention of taking the initiative to invite herself into the room, Han Munian really didn't know whether to say that she was simple or didn't understand the world.
So he simply pointed to the side and gestured, "Come to the study, I have something to tell you." ”
"Oh, good."
Entering this unusually spacious study room again, Shi Nuan Nuan was much more relaxed than the previous two times.
She looked curiously at the neatly arranged books on the shelves, and found that his collection of books was rich and wide-ranging, from ancient times to the present, in any field, like a private library.
She looked at it so seriously that she once again forgot about Han Munian.
Han Munian rubbed the leather cigarette case in his pocket, and did not urge her, half leaning on the desk, his eyes kept following the movement of her footsteps - no one of the opposite sex could ignore him so completely in front of him, and only because of those lifeless books. When those women saw him, they were either fainting with excitement or screaming frantically, or they were trying their best to get involved with him, and Han Munian usually avoided them.
However, Shi Nuannuan seems to be an alternative existence, and it has been several days, not only does she not have the slightest pride in living under the same roof with him, but she even often ...... Snubbing him?
Could it be that her ideal future partner is like the kid who is a cook, looking silly and stupid?
Thinking of this possibility, Han Munian's deep eyes couldn't help but narrow dangerously, and his tone became a little unhappy, and he reminded him stiffly: "I asked you to come in to talk about things." ”
Hearing this, Shi Nuannuan was like a student who was deserting in class and was criticized by the teacher by name, withdrew his gaze lingering on the books, took two steps in his direction, and said softly: "I'm sorry." ”
Han Munian found that she seemed to be very accustomed to apologizing to herself, but in his opinion, her soft attitude did not comfort him, but made the anger in his heart swell more and more, and even he didn't know what he was angry about.
In order to distract himself, he could only divert the topic: "Grandma is critically ill, you will go to the hospital with me tomorrow." ”
It was the first time Shi Nuannuan had heard about his family from his mouth, but when she heard the word "critically ill", her heart trembled violently, and her face turned a little pale, as if she had heard not an ordinary news, but a life and death situation, so she nodded and agreed without thinking about it: "Okay." ”
Han Munian secretly wondered, did his tone be too serious?
He added: "Grandma's health has not been very good for most of the year, don't worry, you just need to accompany me back to her old man's house." ”
"It's okay, I know, I'll go with you." Shi Nuannuan said, and then asked, "Do you need me to prepare some fruits or health products?" Or something else? I don't know much about your habits at home, if you can, can you tell me first, and I'll get ready in a moment. ”
"No, I'll let Aunt Pei and Xi Po prepare." Her natural concern warmed his heart, and he felt that his mood was a little lighter.
He does not lack a woman who accompanies him back to the old mansion to offer courtesy and filial piety, but lacks a person who will accompany him wholeheartedly to comfort the old lady without any purpose.
Well-behaved, obedient, and kind, all these advantages were taken up by Shi Nuan, just based on the words she blurted out in the second half of the sentence just now, Han Munian felt that she had not looked away.
"And what should I wear?" Shi Nuannuan thought about it comprehensively, since he promised to pretend to be his girlfriend, he should act more realistically and devotedly, so that he can be worthy of the money he paid.
Han Munian rarely paid attention to the woman's clothes, looked at the T-shirt and short skirt on her body at this time, and said indifferently: "As long as it's not this set." ”
Shi Nuannuan also looked down at her clothes, and suddenly smiled: "Of course it won't be this set." ”
Han Munian actually meant that as long as she didn't dress too casually, he didn't think that Nuan Nuan would wear a very grand evening dress or something amazing, but when the first ray of sunlight shone into the living room the next morning, Han Munian saw a young girl in a pink cotton gauze skirt with her back to her, fiddling with a large bouquet of flowers on the coffee table. The Korean-style double ponytail that fits her shoulders makes her look very pure and cute, and her fair skin is even more white and dazzling under the sun.
"What is this?" Han Munian walked behind her, and a faint floral fragrance mixed with an unknown fragrance rushed into his nostrils, making his voice a lot softer.
"You're up?" Shi Nuannuan smiled softly at him, and held up the things that had been busy for a long time in his hands in front of him, "This is what I just picked in the flower garden in front, Aunt Pei said that the flowers there can be picked, so I think maybe grandma will like the new moon season in the morning." ”
Han Munian looked at the milky white flowers in front of him, the flowers were white and full, which really made people feel better when they saw it.
"What are these for?" He pointed to the brown paper, fine hemp rope and ribbons on the coffee table.
Shi Nuannuan didn't answer, and motioned for him to come closer.
I saw that she cut off some of the roots of the arranged bouquet with scissors, and then neatly wrapped it in brown kraft paper, tied it tightly on the outside of the kraft paper with a thin hemp rope, and finally picked a pink ribbon and tied a bow, and a beautiful bouquet of moon flowers was completed.
Her movements are light and graceful, and her fingers like jade onions are even better at doing these things, making it impossible to take your eyes off it. Although her movements were not very skillful, Han Munian just felt that she was unusually compatible with this bouquet.
"Is it pretty?" She asked with a smile as she lifted the flower to his chest.
Han Munian lowered his eyelids and looked at the bouquet of flowers in front of him, and her smiling face was behind the flowers, such a beautiful scene was like the sun entering his heart, making him smile rarely: "It's beautiful." ”
"I also think it's beautiful, I want to take this as a gift for grandma, do you think she will like it?" As she spoke, her eyes sparkled at him.
Han Munian knew that his grandmother didn't usually play with flowers much, and the juniors of their family didn't give these imaginary things, but looking at her eyes, he couldn't say these words.
He nodded unconsciously, and followed her words and said, "She'll like it." ”
Shi Nuannuan, who was affirmed, was very happy, looked at his sportswear, and asked a series of three questions: "Do you want to go out for a run?" What do you want for breakfast? Shall I do it well? ”
She seemed to be addicted to making breakfast yesterday, and looked at him expectantly.
Han Munian thought for a second, and briefly answered her last question: "Okay." ”
Then he saw her like a happy little rabbit, bouncing down into the kitchen.
Han Munian looked at Yueji she left on the coffee table, and then looked at her back, and suddenly felt that it was no longer a depressing thing to visit her grandmother today.
As usual, he went to the morning exercise and ran alone, and he was busy in the kitchen alone, and when Han Munian came back from running two laps outside with his sweaty forehead, the warm breakfast had already been made.
"Thirsty? Would you like to drink some water? Shi Nuannuan took advantage of the time to cook porridge, soaked a pot of lemon and honey water, and put it in the refrigerator to chill.
Because the ice time is short, it is neither cold nor hot to drink now, and the temperature is suitable.
Although Han Munian rarely drank these, in the face of her kindness, he couldn't refuse, reached out and took the lemonade, raised his head and drank two sips, his Adam's apple rolled, and he looked extremely abstinent.
Today's breakfast is millet porridge, fried dumplings, potato cakes and a few side dishes, the fried dumplings are ready-made, the potato cakes have the help of Aunt Pei, and the side dishes are bought from outside, so this breakfast is not very time-consuming. When Han Munian came downstairs from upstairs, Shi Nuannuan just served all the breakfast on the table.
And just like yesterday, Han Munian still ate this Chinese breakfast into his stomach, and Aunt Pei and Xi Po also became more and more convinced that he was very special to Shi Nuannuan, maybe he had feelings.
After the two finished breakfast, they changed their clothes and prepared to go out. As soon as the car door was closed, the phone rang and a familiar name jumped on the screen.
Shi Nuannuan glanced at Han Munian, he just lowered his eyes and looked at his mobile phone, as if he didn't care about her movements.
So she pressed the answer button and said softly, "Hey, senior? ”
Hearing her address the other party, Han Munian's right eyelid twitched slightly, and the movement of his hand sliding the screen quietly stopped.
"Nuan Nuan, how are you doing? I heard that you have been admitted to L University, congratulations. Lin Shunian's voice was as clean and nice as ever.
"Thank you, senior. The seniors are also in L University, so I will ask the seniors to take care of them in the future. "It's rare to chat with old alumni, and Shi Nuannuan smiles when she speaks.
"That's certain, I'll pick you up at the door when school starts, and I'll leave the luggage or something to me." Lin Shunian took over her hard work in just a few words.
"Then thank you seniors in advance." Shi Nuannuan thanked him, thinking that he wouldn't call him suddenly, so he took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything else that Senior Lin called me?" ”
Sure enough, Lin Shunian smiled lowly: "You are still so smart." Actually, about the reprint of that collection of essays, Mr. Guo should have looked for you, right? ”
"Well, she asked me to write a reprint testimonial for publication. I had already typed a draft last night. ”
"Mr. Guo said that the reprint testimonials of the two of us should be put together at the beginning of the book, I think we should find a free time to come out and talk about it? Anyway, I haven't been back to my teacher in high school for a long time, so how about sending it directly to Mr. Guo? Lin Shunian suggested.
Shi Nuannuan thought about it and agreed: "Okay." ”
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, will you be free at noon for a while?"
"Noon today?" Shi Nuannuan didn't expect him to be in such a hurry, and subconsciously glanced at Han Munian, who had already put away his mobile phone and was turning his head to look out the window.
"What? Inconvenience? ”
"Well, there's something going on at noon." rejected the senior's invitation for the first time, Shi Nuannuan felt a little embarrassed, thought about it and added, "Otherwise, how about the evening?" ”
Lin Shunian said "um", and directly set the time and restaurant: "Five o'clock in the evening, Bird Feather Restaurant." ”
"Okay, I got it."
The two chatted a few more words and hung up the phone, and Shi Nuannuan immediately reported to the owner of the house honestly: "I have something to do at night, and I won't eat dinner at home." ”
Han Munian listened to the conversation between her and Lin Shunian just now, but he had been in the mall for so long, and what he was best at was pretending to be deaf and dumb, and he was no exception at this time.
He put away his phone and asked, "Going out?" ”
"Well, I have something to talk to my high school seniors." Shi Nuan Nuan looks like a good baby.
"Don't come back too late." He said a word and turned his head, deliberately ignoring the faint loss in his heart.
