Chapter 5: A Key
When Ning's father was about to cook, he asked Ning Shuyi to call Huo Yan and ask him if he would come back to eat, but after Ning Shuyi called, he didn't answer there.
When Huo Yan came back, it was already after lunch, and when he came back, he helped Ning's father buy some vegetables and came back.
This thoughtful gesture made Father Ning very happy, and immediately served the meal left for him at noon to Huo Yanre.
Huo Yan no longer has any politeness with Father Ning now, and when he sits down, he eats all the food cleanly, and consciously takes his dishes and chopsticks to the sink to wash them.
"What's this kid up to? Look at him who is hungry!" Ning's father muttered to Ning's mother in a low voice.
After eating and washing the dishes, Huo Yan called Ning Shuyi over.
"I'll put this one there." He took out a small paper bag from the pocket of his clothes and stuffed it directly into Ning Shuyi's hand, without giving her a chance to ask at all.
Ning Shuyi was stunned for a moment, opened the small paper bag, and poured out a black rectangle from it, with a few buttons on one side and a familiar logo on the other.
"Car keys?" Ning Shuyi was a little puzzled, the car keys were new, and it was clear that it couldn't be from the bureau, so there was only one answer, "You didn't see anyone this morning, and you went to pick up the car?"
When did you buy it? Is it licensed?
No, this weekend, the DMV is closed, and I can't get a license......
"I've booked for more than three months, almost four months, I just arrived a while ago, looking for a 4S store to get a license plate, everything is done today, I'll pick it up." Huo Yan answered all her questions in one go.
Ning Shuyi looked him up and down: "You are secretive enough to do this! It's been so long, we've been working together and getting off work together every day, and I haven't even heard you mention it!
Why did you suddenly remember to buy a car? I haven't heard you say you have this intention before!"
Huo Yan glanced at Ning's mother and Ning's father: "It's dispensable, it's more convenient to have it, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it.
Now, with a means of transportation, uncles and aunts can sulk a little less."
Ning Shuyi didn't expect Huo Yan's original intention to be like this, it was absolutely impossible not to be surprised, but she quickly hid her surprise and didn't show it in front of Huo Yan.
"I see," she said, twinking the car keys in her hand, "You did a lot of meritorious service in the first place!" The strength is amazing!"
Huo Yan touched the back of his head: "There was nothing to spend money on before."
He seemed to be a little embarrassed by Ning Shuyi's praise, and hurriedly pointed to the car key in Ning Shuyi's hand: "There are two in total, let's take one for each of us, and it's convenient for anyone to use anything."
"Okay." Ning Shuyi nodded with a smile and looked at the car keys in his hand, "I'll look through any beautiful key chains in a while and hang a decorative decoration."
Huo Yan smiled, his smile looked relaxed, nodded, turned around and went to help Father Ning again.
Ning Shuyi looked at the back of him striding away, and also smiled.
Originally, when the two of them were not familiar with each other, she knew that he was always alone and refused to be thousands of miles away, so she would never exceed half a point, so as not to lose a sense of boundaries, which would make people feel pressure and annoyance.
As he gradually became familiar with it, he also knew Huo Yan's past experience, understood how his current temperament was formed, and what the biggest knot was, so he did the opposite, from the initial sense of abiding by the boundary, to now not treating him as an outsider at all.
The reluctance to accept others stems from the fear of being abandoned by others, and it is the psychological shadow left by the past abandonment.
And that kind of politeness that is not needed by others will only make him more lonely, and simply accepting, and there is no way to completely eliminate the shadow in his heart.
Then let him feel dependent and needed, which will give him a sense of security.
At dinner in the evening, Huo Yan was extremely low-key, and he didn't say a word about ordering and picking up the car, so Ning Shuyi had to announce it for him.
Ning's father and mother are all this
As soon as he heard that Huo Yan bought a car and handed over the car keys to Ning Shuyi, he understood a little bit about his original intention of doing this.
The old two *** changed their eyes, and they didn't say too many kind words, trying to behave naturally and calmly.
It's just that Father Ning's eyes looked at Huo Yan a little hotter, and Mother Ning didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so she sandwiched Huo Yan several more dishes in one meal.
In the evening, Huo Yan went back upstairs after helping Ning's father clean up as usual, Ning Shuyi also wanted to rest, but was called to the living room by Ning's mother and asked her to sit on the sofa.
"What are you doing here?" Ning Shuyi couldn't cry or laugh, and touched his face, "What new drama is playing on my face today? That's what you want to see!"
"Xiaoyi, ...... you and Xiao Huo?" Mother Ning asked with some curiosity and caution.
"Me and him? Colleagues, friends, upstairs and downstairs neighbors." Ning Shuyi spread his hands.
Mother Ning grabbed the pillow next to her casually and threw it over: "You girl! I'm here with me and pretending to be confused!
You have so many colleagues in your unit, and your friends are not old or young, we have more upstairs and downstairs neighbors, why haven't I seen others because you don't have a scooter, specially bought a car back, and gave you a key?
Is he ...... What does it mean to you?"
"He saw that my dad asked Nie Guang to spend the money for the car alone, because he had been sulking for so long because of this, so he felt that he couldn't bear it, so he bought the car and gave me a key." Ning Shuyi stated the reason why Huo Yan told him today, rubbed his chin, and looked at Father Ning, "According to your logic, what might he mean to my father......
Father Ning touched Mother Ning with his arm: "Give me that pillow, let me smash this little girl who runs the train with her mouth full!"
Ning Shuyi burst out laughing, and hurriedly made a plea: "Don't! Didn't I say this along the lines of your dear wife!
Okay, let's not make trouble, I understand what you mean, and the current situation is that he has done all these things, but he has never said anything to me.
You ask me, am I not in a position to answer this question?"
Mother Ning opened her mouth and found that her daughter's words were really irrefutable.
Father Ning sighed: "Huo Yan, this young man, is really good! As far as I'm concerned, I'm special, very happy with him.
People are tall and have a good physique, they are down-to-earth and diligent, and they don't talk much, in my opinion, this is what a reliable man should look like!
But what about this, I don't think it's useful, you have to make up your own mind!
Dad told you before, although our family is not a rich family, but there is no shortage of food and drink, if you don't mean anything to others, we can't take advantage of others because they are good to you.
If you don't have any ideas, if you want me to say, don't drive Xiao Huo's new car! Take a ride, and when you go back, Dad will take the money to cheer Xiao Huo!"
