Love is like the blue sky and white clouds, you are like a storm

When I went downstairs, it was already late.
Yan Yizhou reached out his hand to stop Shi Ning who jumped down from the stairs, and asked, "Why are you in such a panic?"
"Nothing." She denied too quickly.
Yan Yizhou doubted: "It's nothing, your face is so red?"
Shi Ning thought of her mother, Ms. Xu Jiali's explicit temptations and reminders, and felt her face was on fire, especially when Yan Yizhou was staring at her.
She thought of something, and changed the subject: "You performed well today. It can be seen that my parents like you very much."
It's almost the same as when I was a child, and it's still like this after so many years.
Yan Yizhou laughed, but said nothing.
Shi Ning paused, and then asked: "You said today that you recognized me when you first met me?" Yan Yizhou raised his eyebrows and said, "This sentence is true."
Shi Ning guessed that what he said was half-truth and half-false, like he said that he liked her for a long time, and the pursuit process was not easy, he was obviously playing the sympathy card.
But what Shi Ning cares more about is: "You recognized me and didn't tell me?"
"It's because you are too stupid, and I haven't changed my name, so you don't even doubt it?"
Shi Ning was right after thinking about it, and quibbled: "I was too young at that time, okay, I always called you brother, and I don't remember your name at all. But it's your problem that you haven't said it all the time."
Yan Yizhou reached out to press the top of her head, and by the way, suppressed her little temper.
Yan Yizhou withdrew his hands in his pockets, looked down at Shi Ning's eyes and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Shi Ning asked.
"It's nothing, I thought of something from my childhood."
Yan Yizhou's deepest memory of the city in front of him is actually just a few years, the moss on the stone road outside the yard when he was a child, the sound of raindrops on the roof when it rained, and the quarrels between his parents every day.
He should be regarded as a special child in the eyes of those around him.
Silent and withdrawn, alone.
One day, crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded in the yard, and his mother told him that Uncle Shi's family next door gave birth to a daughter.
The first time he saw her, she was a little bit big, and she couldn't even open her eyes when she was held in her mother's arms.
But it was much better looking than the wrinkled newborn babies he had seen before.
As time passed, the increasingly intensified quarrel between his parents became gossip on the streets and alleys every day, and he didn't even want to enter the house for a while.
He was sitting on the stone steps when a festive glutinous rice dumpling suddenly stumbled towards him.
At that time, she was still walking unsteadily, and she stretched out her hand to him two steps away, showing two white small teeth.
Any older, and she'd start hugging his thighs.
She sat on the ground at every turn, raised her head with her black eyes open and called him brother.
She asked for food and drink, and asked him to play with her. When she was rejected, she could immediately curl her lips and start crying.
His parents divorced, and when he left the city with his father, the child was in elementary school, and he never saw him again.
The reunion was unexpected, and he didn't think about telling her who he was.
Yan Yizhou withdrew his thoughts, looked at Shi Ning's not-so-happy expression and said, "Next week, I plan to go back to the old courtyard where I used to live. Do you want to come together?"
Shi Ning's eyes lit up: "Okay."
"Okay, then you go up first, I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
Shi Ning stood still for a long time, looked at Yan Yizhou and asked hesitantly, "How long will we keep in this state?"
Always pretended to be a couple.
Yan Yizhou knew what she meant, and replied, "When the time is right."
Shi Ning had a dark face: "What I'm asking is when is the so-called time ripe?"
"You have someone you love." Yan Yizhou looked into her eyes and said.
Shi Ning's heart skipped a beat, and seeing his other hand put back into his pocket, he replied flatly, "Maybe I have."
Shi Ning: "Oh..."
She wanted to ask him just now if he had such a slight liking for her, but the words were on the verge of her mouth, and looking at Yan Yizhou's face, she insisted on not asking.
Forget it, wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone said no.
When Shi Ning was forced out of bed by her mother the next day, her mind was still muddled.She had insomnia last night, thinking about something in a mess in her mind, and rolled on the bed until more than two o'clock in the middle of the night before falling asleep.
Ms. Xu Jiali slapped her and said: "Get up quickly, Xiao Yan arrived downstairs early in the morning, what do you look like if you are still lying in bed? Come on, don't cry when you are going to be late later. "
Shi Ning suddenly remembered that Yan Yizhou said he would pick her up early this morning, and she jumped up from the bed.
Shi Ning hurriedly washed up, and ran downstairs with her breakfast.
She opened the door of the passenger seat and sat on it, looked at Yan Yizhou who was leaning on the car window with one hand and looking at her, and said, "Excuse me, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"It's okay." Yan Yizhou looked at her face, "Didn't sleep well last night?"
"Well, I'm having insomnia."
"Why insomnia?"
Because you have been spinning in my mind, Shi Ning didn't say this, and handed over the breakfast in her hand: "Here, my mother prepared it for you."
"Actually, I've already eaten." Although he said so, he still took it, "Thank you for me, Auntie."
During the morning rush hour, the car was stuck on the road for more than ten minutes, but luckily I was not late.
Shi Ning hurriedly waved to Yan Yizhou, and ran into the building of Nanda Hospital.
At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, she received a call from Yan Yizhou.
"Busy?" he asked.
"No, just free, what's the matter?"
"I'm going on a business trip to another province, and I'll be back in two days."
Shi Ning: "Oh..."
Yan Yizhou was also silent for a long time, and after a while he said: "It's nothing, just to tell you. There seems to be something wrong with the washing machine at home. When I come back and find someone to fix it, don't use it for the next two days. gone."
"Oh, okay, be careful on the road."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Ning stood by the window and patted her chest. Was Yan Yizhou reporting his whereabouts to him just now?
This is a conversation that only real boyfriends and girlfriends have, right?
On the other side, Zhou Rui, who was on a business trip with Yan Yizhou due to a temporary arrangement, saw him coming back after a long time, and asked casually, "Brother Zhou, you have been on the phone for so long, and you reported the itinerary to your girlfriend?"
"Yeah." Yan Yizhou nodded expressionlessly.
Zhou Rui: "..."
He sat on the stool in the airport waiting room for a long time, and then he remembered to take out his mobile phone and share this huge gossip with others in the group.
"The boss is out of order! He admitted it himself!"
Sure enough, the group exploded.
Zhou Rui carefully inquired about gossip with Yan Yizhou: "If I'm not wrong, it's the girl who came to 'Moore Space' twice before, right?"
Yan Yizhou nodded: "Yes."
The more Zhou Rui asked, the more excited he became: "When did it happen?"
"Two days ago."
"Who's chasing who?"
Yan Yizhou finally raised his head and glanced over coldly: "You ask too many questions."
Zhou Rui backed away in fright, and then said as if he was not afraid of death: "I think, with your fierce and decisive methods all these years, Boss, it's easy to take him down, right?"
The subtext is that you have many routines and deep thoughts, the girl probably didn't even notice that she fell into it.
Yan Yizhou didn't speak anymore, but kept staring at the laptop on his lap without stopping his movements.
The two have now changed from landlords and tenants to "boyfriend and boyfriend", and their relationship can be regarded as a qualitative leap.
As for whether it was intentional, only Yan Yizhou knew.
Yan Yizhou got on the plane smoothly, but Shi Ning found himself getting nervous.
Always want to take the phone.
She really wanted to ask Yan Yizhou if he got on the plane, what time he arrived, and what he was going to do, but then she thought that she seemed to be thinking a little too much, which was beyond the scope of the current relationship between the two of them, so she gave up.But she couldn't control her mind, so she seemed restless.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaoxiao's call diverted part of Shi Ning's attention.
Yang Xiaoxiao seemed to have some new signs of progress with her brother who was like a big radish. Shi Ning asked her, "How far has it progressed?"
"He...he kissed me."
Shi Ning: "..."
She just wanted to scold Shi Jun as a beast at the moment, but in just a few days, he bullied him vigorously because he liked him.
Yang Xiaoxiao was obviously still very excited, and stammered, "I think...he might...maybe also likes me a little bit."
Yang Xiaoxiao is working at the milk tea shop this afternoon.
Shi Jun suddenly came in with a few foreigners in his briefcase. While visiting, he also introduced the signs of the store.
She was so frightened that she didn't know what he wanted to do.
Seeing her flustered, Shi Jun leaned on the table with a comforting smile and said, "Don't panic, these people are my partners, and if you want to experience the taste of authentic Chinese milk tea, you can just do as usual."
She nodded.
Yang Xiaoxiao was doing the movements with her hands while listening to them chatting and joking in Chinese and English.
Yang Xiaoxiao's English is ok, and she can basically understand her.
It was because she could understand that she was even more embarrassed. Among them, two foreigners with yellow hair kept praising her for being cute in English, and even Shi Jun looked at her several times.
She didn't even dare to lift her head.
After half an hour, they finally decided to get up and leave. One of the British boys took advantage of the checkout gap and approached Yang Xiaoxiao in English to ask for her phone number.
Yang Xiaoxiao was thinking about pretending that she didn't understand, and forgetting about it, when she saw Shi Jun walking over.
He put his arms around the boy's neck to get him away, and said with a smile, "Hey, she is my girlfriend." After speaking, as if to confirm his own words, he took advantage of Yang Xiaoxiao's unpreparedness, stretched out his hand and pressed The back of her head kissed her forehead directly.
Yang Xiaoxiao said to Shi Ning on the phone: "At that time, I felt that my heart was about to stop."
It's shock and surprise.
Yang Xiaoxiao said: "I knew he was trying to help me out, so I went to ask him."
"What did he say?" Shi Ning asked.
Yang Xiaoxiao imitated Shi Jun's tone: "The rescue is true, and I can't help kissing you."
Although she didn't learn very well.
Shi Ning scolded Shi Jun as a "big pig's hoof", and felt that Yang Xiaoxiao, a little white rabbit, was eaten to death by Shi Jun.Shi Ning couldn't guarantee if her brother was playing for real this time, so she sent her brother a message.
Shi Ning: "Do you like Xiaoxiao?"
Shi Jun: "Do you like Yan Yizhou?"
Shi Ning: "I like it."
Shi Jun: "Then I like it too."
Shi Ning was convinced, and then posted: "Don't play on Xiaoxiao's head, it's not like you don't know how much she likes you. If you're not serious, don't provoke her."
Shi Jun: "Are you still going to be my emotional counselor? I heard that Yan Yizhou's kid actually passed the test of his parents. My brother will give you a piece of advice. I don’t care about you when you go home and cry.”
Brothers and sisters come and go, and I don't know who is educating whom.
Shi Jun finally turned off his mobile phone, thinking of the news he heard recently, he couldn't help but sweat for his sister.
Yan Yizhou had stayed in the United States before, and was a core member of a top international software development company. Later, he returned to China for development. Now he has quietly built a company, and has been closely watched by relevant people in the industry. It is said that there is no simple person in the team. .
With such a character, can my silly sister play well?
14
Of course, Shi Ning has no way of knowing all this. Her field of work is far from Yan Yizhou's field by more than a thousand miles, so Yan Yizhou has been on a business trip for the past two days, and she can't even find a place to start asking him about his work.
Later, she simply didn't ask anything, thinking about letting nature take its course.
That afternoon two days later.
The weather was rarely cool, so Shi Ning bumped into Tang Wenqing who had just come back outside Nanda Gate.
Shi Ning knew that he accepted the opportunity to go abroad for exchange and study, and it should be the time for the handover recently, so he has been busy.Shi Ning even heard many people in the hospital yelling that they couldn't bear his words every day.
"Brother." Shi Ning greeted.
Tang Wenqing looked at her and smiled: "Have a cup of coffee together?"
"Okay, I'm treating you." Shi Ning said.
The two found a nearby coffee shop, Shi Ning sat down and said, "Congratulations, brother, I wish you success in the future."
"Thank you, but there is nothing to congratulate, so I changed the environment."
The relationship between them has not changed much from before, which made Shi Ning a little more comfortable. She asked, "I heard that you went abroad with senior sister?"
"Nothing, I didn't agree."
Just as the coffee was served, Shi Ning didn't continue to ask, she knew that it would be embarrassing to ask this topic.
Tang Wenqing took a sip of coffee, looked at her, and said, "Before, I really imagined that the two of us might have the opportunity to go abroad together, but I didn't expect you to refuse so simply."
Shi Ning said: "Although I have regrets, I generally don't regret the decisions I have made."
"Well, you've always been so...simple."
Shi Ning was a little surprised to hear this comment.
Tang Wenqing smiled and said, "Isn't it? In my eyes, you have always been like this. You can see through what you like and what you don't like at a glance."
Shi Ning smiled exaggeratedly: "So I am like this?"
Tang Wenqing slammed the coffee cup on the table, his expression suddenly became more serious, Shi Ning suddenly became a little nervous, and sure enough, he heard him say in the next second: "Although it's a bit late to say now, I think we should be very close in a short time." It’s hard to meet again, so I decided to tell you.”
When he said this, seeing Shi Ning unconsciously clenched the cup in his hand, he smiled and said, "You have already guessed it, I like you."
The words from the other person's mouth and the person's mouth were completely different feelings, and Shi Ning felt mixed feelings for a while.
It's not that she hasn't been confessed before, but she doesn't know what to say when faced with the confession of her senior brother who has always been so close to her.
After a long time, she could only answer dryly: "I guessed a little bit."
Tang Wenqing glanced out of the window, with a calm expression, quickly turned around and smiled again, saying, "You don't have to feel any pressure, we are still friends."
Shi Ning nodded: "Yes."
The next sentence he continued to tease: "I met your boyfriend, he is nice."
Shi Ning: "Thank you..."
At the same time, at the gate of Nanda, a very tall jeep was parked in the open space, and a tall and long-legged extremely handsome man came down, attracting the attention of many people.
He stood there with his back against the car body, with a look of indifference to the eyes of his surroundings, and he turned the mobile phone in his hand calmly, as if he was waiting for someone.
People around him came and went, unconsciously looking at him.
There were even a few bold girls who laughed and said they would go up to him to strike up a conversation, and two or three groups of people passed by in a short while.
Someone asked him curiously: "Handsome guy, who are you waiting for?"
Yan Yizhou was not too cold to say anything, and replied, "Girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" Some people were disappointed, some people were surprised: "Which girl in Nanda has found a boyfriend as handsome as you, and I have never heard of it."
Naturally, it wasn't the first time Yan Yizhou came here, but he didn't stay here much before, and it was impossible for Shi Ning to publicize it everywhere, not to mention that both of them had such false identities that were not worthy of the name.
Seeing that Yan Yizhou didn't answer, someone said, "Don't you introduce yourself? If you don't tell me, we will reasonably suspect that you are lying."
Among them, two girls were reluctant, and they probably thought it was fun.
After all, this is Shi Ning's workplace, and whether these people know each other or not, they are still her colleagues. Yan Yizhou said, "Shi Ning."
Several girls suddenly showed stunned expressions. Shi Ning is a well-known beauty in Nanda, and there are really a small number of people who have never heard of her name.
Sure enough, in this world, good-looking people are with good-looking people.
The people who joined in the fun began to disperse.
However, someone who was walking this way stopped when he heard Shi Ning's name, and now he saw that everyone had left, so he stepped forward.
Yan Yizhou looked at the person in front of him and asked, "What's the matter?"
What can Zhou Yaqin say? She has been disliked by Shi Ning for a long time. In her eyes, as long as it is about Shi Ning, she will always pay special attention to it.
She smiled and stretched out her hand: "I am a colleague who entered Nanda in the same batch as Shi Ning. My name is Zhou Yaqin."
Yan Yizhou didn't reach out to shake it back, but just nodded: "Hello."
Anyone who is familiar with Yan Yizhou can tell from his attitude that he doesn't just dislike the person in front of him anymore, but he doesn't even intend to do all the superficial politeness.
Even if Shi Ning never said anything about work and colleagues, Yan Yizhou still has this ability to distinguish people.
The person in front of him didn't look like someone who just came to say hello.
Sure enough, Zhou Yaqin's complexion changed slightly, but he still kept the corners of his mouth raised. He changed the topic and continued to smile and said, "Are you looking for Shi Ning? But she is not here now. As far as I know, she is talking to Tang from our courtyard. The doctor has gone out. You probably don't know who this doctor Tang is, he was Shi Ning's senior in college, and I heard that he originally wanted to take Shi Ning to go abroad with him a few days ago."
Zhou Yaqin observed Yan Yizhou's expression while talking.
But she was disappointed, this person didn't seem to hear her at all, making her look like a clown.
Her face froze.
At this moment, two figures came over from the road on the left side of Nanda, they were Shi Ning and Tang Wenqing.
The two laughed and talked about something, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Seeing Yan Yizhou's eyes flickering in that direction, Zhou Yaqin was overjoyed, coughed twice, pointed over there and said, "They're back." After speaking, he answered as if he was muttering to himself, "Listen It is said that Tang Wenqing has been chasing Shi Ning for a long time, and I don't know what the two of them did just now."
It's almost like saying clearly, Shi Ning Zhao Qin Muchu, with you as a boyfriend, she is still smiling at other suitors.
Yan Yizhou's attention was drawn back.
He smiled, and suddenly felt a little pity for this clumsy and childish provocateur.
Deliberately pretending to be influenced, he lowered his eyes and said softly, "Really?"
Zhou Yaqin changed his attitude at this moment, as if he was very embarrassed: "Ah, don't take it seriously, I just said it casually, it will not be good if it affects your relationship."
"No." Yan Yizhou changed the subject, and smiled inscrutablely, "I like it like this."
Zhou Yaqin: "..."
Yan Yizhou paid attention to Shi Ning's movements, seeing that she seemed to have discovered him, he turned his gaze back again, and called to stop Zhou Yaqin who was about to turn around and leave.
"Ms. Zhou, although our Shi Ning has always been big-minded, I'm sorry, I'm small-minded. I don't know anything about your yard, but if you have anything you don't like next time, you can talk to me directly. If anyone makes her unhappy one day, if she plays with me, I will make the other party unhappy too."
Yan Yizhou's voice was very soft, but his meaning was clear. There was someone behind Shi Ning, and that person was Yan Yizhou.
This time Zhou Yaqin's face was completely broken. She fully understood that it was a stupid decision to show off in front of this man.
In the distance, Shi Ning accidentally saw Yan Yizhou. He was wearing a short black jacket, leaning against the car body with his sleeves rolled up, his long legs crossed and his posture loose.He didn't seem to notice the scrutinizing eyes of the passers-by around him, and he was talking to the person standing in front of him.
Shi Ning looked at it for a long time, and confirmed it several times before she was sure that the woman was Zhou Yaqin?
What did Zhou Yaqin tell Yan Yizhou?
Shi Ning knew exactly who Zhou Yaqin was. It was a terrible situation. She waved goodbye to Tang Wenqing and walked straight towards Yan Yizhou.
Before Shi Ning got to the place, she found that Zhou Yaqin had turned around and left, but her expression was not good no matter what.
Shi Ning: "..."
She walked towards Yan Yizhou again, and he was so close that he had no intention of moving.
"I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow." Shi Ning stood in front of him and spoke first.
Yan Yizhou smiled: "The work is over today, so I came back directly."
Shi Ning nodded, she observed Yan Yizhou's expression, he didn't look unhappy.Getting closer, she raised her head and asked him, "What did Zhou Yaqin tell you just now?"
Yan Yizhou raised his eyebrows, glanced at where Tang Wenqing was standing just now, and said, "It's nothing, it means that your senior brother has been chasing you for a long time, and said that you plan to go abroad together."
Shi Ning: "She talks nonsense!"
Shi Ning was so angry, who is it?
She explained to Yan Yizhou very seriously: "The matter of going abroad was suggested by the courtyard, and I rejected it at that time, and the brother is going to go abroad soon, so I just treated him to a cup of coffee."
The moment she finished speaking, she thought to herself, why was she in such a hurry to explain to him?
Yan Yizhou smiled, Shi Ning thought about it and was still angry, and said, "No, I have to ask Zhou Yaqin to clarify!"
Yan Yizhou took her arm.
He smiled and said, "I just came back, are you sure you want to spoil the next plan because of such a person?"
It's really not worth it when Shi Ning thinks about it.
However, she was soon aroused by Yan Yizhou's curiosity: "What plan?"
Yan Yizhou said: "Go to eat, are you off work? Get in the car after get off work."
Shi Ning didn't need Yan Yizhou's help, she opened the car door and sat in, leaned on the window sill and smiled at him and said, "Then let's go, Mr. Yan."
Yan Yizhou took Shi Ning to a place she had never been to before.
Shi Ning followed him around the seven bends and eight alleys, and saw the most intense and real images of the city.
"Where is this?" Shi Ning asked.
Surrounded by food stalls, the aroma of food has been lingering in the nose.
She suddenly felt hungry.
Yan Yizhou finally found a small shop and sat down, pointed to the side and said, "Bypassing the street next to it is No. [-] Middle School."
When he said this, Shi Ning remembered.Isn't this the junior high school that Shi Jun attended? Yan Yizhou and her brother are in the same school, but he left before graduation.
Shi Ning was in a trance for a while, until she heard the boss ask them what they were eating.
Yan Yizhou said: "Why don't you try their beef noodles, it's delicious."
Shi Ning followed him and ordered this.She looked around, and it was approaching evening, and there were quite a few people chatting around almost every shop in the alley.
Shi Ning asked, "Have you been here since you came back?"
"I've been here once, but I didn't expect the store here to be here all the time."
More than ten years have passed, the city has changed, and the people have changed, but there are always some things in memory.Yan Yizhou pointed behind Shi Ning, and said with a smile, "Back then, your brother even invited someone to fight there."
Shi Ning doubted: "Really?"
"Really, talk harshly to the other party, whoever admits defeat first is the grandson."
Something flashed through Shi Ning's mind, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "Don't tell me that you are the one who made an appointment with my brother?"
Unexpectedly, Yan Yizhou nodded.
Shi Ning: "Who won in the end?"
"No fight."
"why?"
"Someone told the teacher."
Shi Ning couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing with a "puchi", she didn't expect such a result.
But when Shi Ning accidentally brushed the old scar on Yan Yizhou's brow bone again, she fell silent.In fact, if you don't look carefully, there are basically no traces of the scar.
Shi Ning asked casually, "Then did you still fight afterward?"
Yan Yizhou was silent for a while.
"Hit," he said.
Shi Ning noticed that he was touching his pocket, probably wanting to smoke, but in the end he stopped and said flatly, "When my dad just had an accident, he fought with people every day."
Shi Ning's heart suddenly clenched, and she tasted the taste of heartache.
She pointed to her brow bone: "Is this also from that time?"
Yan Yizhou nodded.
Shi Ning could even imagine that a teenage boy was supposed to be a talented boy, but a sudden family accident destroyed his world.
Let him go to the end of the road and become an enemy of the whole world.
Shi Ning leaned her elbows on the small square table, looked at Yan Yizhou tenderly, and said softly, "If you want, I can repair your scars for free."
Yan Yizhou looked up at her, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "No need, it won't affect anything anyway."
Shi Ning admitted in her heart that the scar would never affect his handsomeness, but she still said, "But that's all I can do."
Yan Yizhou's eyes softened in an instant.
He stretched out his hand to shuffle the hair on her forehead, and said with a light smile, "Don't underestimate yourself, your usefulness is more than that."
At least it made him feel so relaxed for the first time when recalling the past.
Shi Ning had to admit that the food in this shop was really delicious, and it was almost 07:30 when the two finished their dinner and came out of the alley.At the beginning of the roadside lights, rows of street lights are lit up one after another.
Yan Yizhou drove her back.
After entering the door, I found that there was no sign of anyone returning from the house. Shi Ning asked Yan Yizhou who was following behind: "Have you returned from a business trip?"
"No, I went to the company and then picked you up."
Picking her up was just for dinner, when Shi Ning thought of this, her joy level instantly increased by more than two levels.
But when everything quieted down, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Shi Ning sat cross-legged on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, and turned on the TV at will.
She didn't pay attention to what was on the TV at all, but noticed that Yan Yizhou kept coming in and out.He first entered the room, then entered the bathroom with the towel, then turned back to get the cup and went in again.
This was the first night that the two really lived in the same house after publicly admitting their identities as boyfriend and girlfriend in front of Father Shi and Mother Shi.
Shi Ning always felt awkward, everything was wrong.
She forced herself to turn her attention back to the TV, but within two seconds she was distracted by other sounds, and she heard the constant sound of water in the bathroom.
When the water stopped, Shi Ning sat upright immediately.
Yan Yizhou took a bath very quickly, perhaps because he had girls in mind, he wore a set of conservative cotton pajamas, and came out barefoot.
Shi Ning looked at his bare ankles on the ground, and swallowed unconsciously.
Yan Yizhou didn't seem to notice her eyes at all, and went straight to the kitchen.
He came out again soon, put a glass of water on the coffee table with one hand, and put the other hand on Shi Ning's forehead.
Shi Ning's whole body froze because his hands were moist and warm after taking a bath.
Seeing him frowning slightly, Shi Ning said to her, "Did you catch a cold? I have a little fever."
She suddenly bounced off the sofa, jumped off and said, "No, I'm going to take a shower first."
Yan Yizhou watched her close the bathroom door with a "bang", the smile hidden in the corner of her mouth widened and finally transformed into a helpless and pampering smile.
15
Because Yan Yizhou asked her to go back to the old house with her this weekend, Shi Ning asked Yu Lu to change shifts early on.
Early that morning, in a city that hadn't rained for half a month, it started to rain lightly.
But the two still had a tacit understanding without saying anything, and went out together.
From the area where they are now back to the place where they lived before, it will take four to 10 minutes if there is no traffic jam.
Fortunately, they passed smoothly along the way.
Now this old house has already been included in the demolition map planned by the government, and demolition construction sites can be seen everywhere around it, and when it rains, the surrounding roads become difficult to walk.
Yan Yizhou protected Shi Ning all the way with an umbrella to prevent her from falling.
The two got out of the car and walked for nearly 10 minutes, and finally saw a familiar place.
It has not been demolished here yet, so the old yard is relatively well preserved.
The gate of the compound was locked and rusty, and the peeling walls and dead branches around were marks of time.
Shi Ning stood in front of the door and looked at Yan Yizhou: "What should I do? I can't get in at all."
Yan Yizhou stepped forward and pulled the iron lock twice, and opened it.
Shi Ning: "..."
They stepped into the yard back and forth. Shi Ning didn't know how Yan Yizhou felt. Anyway, she had a very familiar and friendly feeling. The place where she grew up carried too many childhood memories.
There is a big persimmon tree in the middle of the yard, but Shi Ning has never seen it bear a single persimmon in all these years.
Yan Yizhou came over and stood side by side with Shi Ning under the tree.
Shi Ning felt very, very magical at this moment. She remembered that there was a small swing under this tree when she was very young.At that time, her parents were busy, and Shi Jun was busy messing around with his buddies. Most of the time, it was Yan Yizhou who moved a stool in the yard while doing homework and helping to take care of her.
Now that the scene has changed, they are standing in the place where they once lived together in an adult posture.
Shi Ning suddenly turned her eyes, pointed to a small pit on the side and said, "I remember when I lost my temper and insisted on planting a litter of rabbits there, right?"
Yan Yizhou smiled and nodded: "Yes, I was bitten by a rabbit in the end, and I almost cried to death."
Papa Shi bought that rabbit specially to coax her. She naively thought that planting a rabbit would produce a litter of rabbits.Little did she know that the rabbit would bite when it was in a hurry, which made her little index finger swell for a whole week.
So many years later, when countless women whispered "bunny is so cute, how can you eat rabbit", only she left endless psychological shadows on rabbits.
Shi Ning dragged Yan Yizhou around the yard, and was familiar with every place, with his own little story.
She had a great time talking, and kept secretly observing Yan Yizhou's expression.
Because she knew that Yan Yizhou was different, and his feelings about this place should be complicated.
It is the period when he has the most complete family, and it is also reminding him that his original family relationship is very bad.
Shi Ning tried her best to tell some funny stories about herself, and by the way, she also revealed the scandal about Shi Jun taking off his pants and kneeling in the yard being beaten.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Yan Yizhou, she grabbed his sleeve, raised her head and asked him, "How does it feel to come back?"
Yan Yizhou turned around, looked down at her, and lightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Not bad."
Shi Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, she found that Yan Yizhou had been staring at her, stroking her hair with his hand.
Shi Ning wondered, "Why..."
"Baby." This almost whispered address seemed to be uttered from the depths of Yan Yizhou's throat, with endless tenderness and intimacy.
Shi Ning felt that everything from her fingertips to her scalp exploded in an instant, and she blushed and said urgently, "Don't yell!"
"Baby" was Shi Ning's nickname when she was a child, but even her parents haven't called her that for many years. When Yan Yizhou came here suddenly, she felt as if she had rolled through magma, and her whole body was hot.
The moment Shi Ning raised his head, Yan Yizhou also happened to catch the precise timing and lowered his head.
The soft touch on the lips made Shi Ning react for a while before realizing that Yan Yizhou was kissing her.
The umbrella in Yan Yizhou's hand was thrown away at some point, he held her waist and pulled her towards him, the strength in his hand was getting stronger and stronger.Moreover, Yan Yizhou didn't seem to intend to let her go easily, and kissed her repeatedly, as if he wanted to deeply imprint his brand on the person in his arms.
Shi Ning had difficulty breathing, she never expected Yan Yizhou to be so domineering when he kissed him.
When Yan Yizhou finally felt that the kiss was enough, he slowly let go, but the hand on her waist did not move.
While Shi Ning was embarrassed, she also felt that her face was burning.
She didn't even dare to raise her head to meet Yan Yizhou's eyes.
But they were so close, Shi Ning couldn't avoid it, and finally looked up at the sky helplessly, and then said pleasantly: "The sky is clear."
At this moment, the drizzle had stopped, and the thick clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and a ray of light penetrated the clouds and leaves, and sprinkled on the feet of the two of them.
Yan Yizhou looked at Shi Ning's smile, which was brighter than the sun.
Like the tacit understanding between each other, no one mentioned this sudden kiss afterwards.
But Shi Ning can be sure that Yan Yizhou doesn't say how much he likes her, but at least he has feelings for her, right?Otherwise, why kiss her for no reason?
Nanda, two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shi Ning finally got a free time, and was dragged by several colleagues in the hospital to gossip.
Yu Lu took her arm: "Why are you so dazed as you keep touching your lips? Have you got cheilitis?"
Shi Ning: "I don't have cheilitis, okay?"
She put down her hand, and felt helpless for her behavior of recalling that kiss whenever she was free, Yan Yizhou's face always flashed in her mind.
She changed the subject and asked them, "What were you talking about just now?"
Colleague A said: "Didn't you just listen? A nurse in our department was followed yesterday." "Stalking?" Shi Ning was taken aback, "Who is it?"
"I said I didn't see her face clearly, but she was on the night shift last night, so she must have been quite frightened. Fortunately, someone passed by at that time, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
"It can't be some pervert, right?" Someone said in horror.
Shi Ning put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, frowned delicately, and answered, "Did you call the police?"
"It's useless to call the police. You don't even know what a person looks like."
Nowadays, there are many reports on the news about being followed by strangers and then having accidents. In this world, the relationship between doctors and patients is tense, and the plastic surgery industry is not much better.
Shi Ning said: "Everyone should be careful these days, go together after get off work, don't leave alone."
Someone laughed: "We are all quite safe, a beautiful woman like you should be more careful, right?"
Shi Ning raised the folder in her hand and photographed it, and said with a smile, "It's just you who are free after work."
There was no follow-up to this incident. The girl who was followed returned to work normally. After a few days, everything was normal.
Shi Ning hasn't seen Yan Yizhou much in the past few days. Since he came back from his last business trip, he seems to have accepted some kind of cooperation. Recently, he has been working overtime day and night.
Often when Shi Ning fell asleep, he didn't come back, but when Shi Ning got up, he had already left, and the time was perfectly staggered.
This made her feel slightly depressed.
Even if it's not a real couple, but is this the state that a fake couple who just kissed should have?
Shi Ning happened to have half a day off on Sunday, so she slept until noon.With her messy hair, she stepped on her slippers to search the refrigerator, only to find food wrapped in plastic wrap, several of which were her favorite.
She was wondering when she saw a post-it note inside.
"Seeing that you rarely have a holiday, I'll reward you. Heat it up before eating, and be careful of diarrhea."
The font is strong and beautiful, and it looks like it was written by Yan Yizhou.
Shi Ning smiled immediately, ran over to pick up her phone and sent a message asking him, "When did you come back yesterday?"
Because of the relationship of pretending to be a couple, Shi Ning has always been embarrassed to ask him about his itinerary, and she didn't dare to send messages to ask him what he was doing. After all, she seemed too proactive and urgent.
He was probably busy at the moment, so he didn't reply after waiting for a few minutes.
Shi Ning simply put down her phone and went to get some food, halfway through she wondered if she should reciprocate, Yan Yizhou was even busier than her.
Thinking that she was about to act, she immediately called her mother.
Shi's mother was surprised over there: "What do you say you want to learn?"
"Make soup."
Shi Ma guessed right: "Give Xiao Yan a drink?"
Shi Ning hesitantly said "Yes".
The loudspeaker was probably turned on over there, and Dad Shi heard it, and immediately said: "You have never been allowed to enter the kitchen at home, but now you are learning how to cook soup for a man. You can turn your elbows very quickly."
Not to offend her own father, Shi Ning hurriedly made amends: "Dad, you have to believe that among all the men in the world, I will always love you the most."
Dad Shi complained that she only knew how to speak with her mouth, but her tone was obviously tinged with a smile.
Just when Yan Yizhou replied, Shi Ning said to her mother, "Mom, please send me the production process. If there is anything else I don't know, I will call you again."
She hung up the phone and saw Yan Yizhou replied, "Around one o'clock."
Shi Ning thought to herself, no wonder she didn't know.
She immediately took a picture of the food for him and said, "Lunch is good, I'll show you my heart."
After sending the message, she stared at the emoji with red hearts constantly popping out, and added a moving picture of "I LOVE YOU" in a daze.
Hmm... is it too straightforward?
Yan Yizhou was calm, and replied like a businessman: "Well, I'm busy recently and I can't make it for you often, remember to eat well."
There was no ambiguity at all, Shi Ning was speechless, thinking such a straight man?
It's a fact that Shi Ning doesn't know how to cook. I didn't talk about it when I was at home. Later, when I came out to work, I ate in the cafeteria when I went to work. When I was at home, I basically relied on takeaway and fast food to support myself.
But she bumped and bumped, and in the end she actually boiled a pot of corn ribs soup. She made it that day, thinking that Yan Yizhou's place of work is not far from the hospital anyway, so she simply took it there.
Qi Heng and the others happened to be on the first floor, and they knew her very well, and they kept smiling ambiguously when they saw her.
Shi Ning: "..."
She picked up the thing on the handle and said, "I brought some food, do you want a piece?"
A group of people waved their hands quickly.
Xiaoyou said in a super loud voice: "Sister-in-law is so virtuous!"
Shi Ning often can't stand the painting style of this group of people together, which makes her feel overwhelmed.After looking around but not seeing Yan Yizhou, she could only quickly say, "Um... isn't he here?"
"Yes, yes." Qi Heng pointed to the top, "But he is talking about something now, you can sit here and wait for a while."
Shi Ning noticed that Qi Heng gave other people a wink when he said this. Although he thought it was strange, he didn't think much about it.She put the heat preservation box in her hand on the table and said, "I still have something to do today, just give it to him later, I'll go first."
"Eh……"
They were about to call Shi Ning to stop when someone came down from the second floor.
Shi Ning turned around and saw Yan Yizhou first. He was coming down the stairs with his coat on his arm, and he was talking to the people behind him.Just as Shi Ning was about to say hello, he saw someone following him.
Shi Ning rarely sees such a tall girl. Wearing high heels, she looks only two or three centimeters shorter than Yan Yizhou, who is more than 1.8 meters tall. She is wearing a skirt that wraps around her hips, with a protruding front and back. She is a very European-style mature woman.
From a woman's sixth sense, she feels threatened.
The other party obviously also saw Shi Ning, saw that she was very familiar with Xiao You and Qi Heng, and asked Yan Yizhou with a smile: "Didn't you say that your company doesn't recruit girls? Why don't you introduce them?"
"Girlfriend." Yan Yizhou said.
Yan Yizhou changed his clothes and put his arm on it, walked up to Shi Ning, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Shi Ning lifted the insulation box on her hand.
Yan Yizhou was a little surprised: "You did it?"
"if not."
Shi Ning had just finished chatting with Yan Yizhou, when she realized that the woman's face seemed not right just now, and she kept looking at herself in surprise, Shi Ning nodded at the other party: "Hello, my name is Shi Ning."
The woman smiled: "Julian."
Julian left quickly, and Yan Yizhou sent her out.
Shi Ning asked Qi Heng: "Is Julian here to talk about work?"
"Half and half." Qi Heng whispered to Shi Ning in a rather mysterious voice, "As far as I know, Julian has been chasing Lao Yan for more than a year. She said she was talking about cooperation, but how much selfishness is there?" Well, it's hard to say."
Shi Ning was startled: "More than a year?"
"That's right." Zhou Rui joined in enthusiastically, and continued, "Julian is a well-known strong woman in the industry, and there are countless men who have had relationships with her, and our Brother Zhou is as stable as an old dog. You can't sit still. Then Julian must be vomiting blood when she sees you now, hahaha!"
Shi Ning couldn't laugh.
Don't say that they are a fake couple now, even if it's a fake, a woman who has chased your boyfriend for more than a year and still looks good, even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, it's not normal to have no sense of crisis, okay?
Yan Yizhou came back quickly, and came in in less than 3 minutes.
He walked to the sofa in the rest area, sat next to Shi Ning, and opened the insulation box she brought.
Qi Heng and Xiao You had voluntarily withdrawn a long time ago. Shi Ning looked at his movements with anticipation and trepidation. After he tasted it, he quickly asked, "How does it taste?"
He looked at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Want to know?"
Shi Ning nodded.
He said: "Very well, it was unexpected."
Shi Ning immediately answered: "Of course, this is the only way to cook such a pot after failing three times. I have tried all of them."
Yan Yizhou laughed, and rubbed the hair on the back of her head with his backhand.
Shi Ning felt that it was not in vain to get such a pot of soup after almost blowing up the kitchen again.
Shi Ning sat on the sofa without moving, and said calmly, "The girl just now, Julian, is pretty, right?"
She didn't look up, and she didn't notice Yan Yizhou's hand movements slightly paused.
All he could hear was a calm "hmm".
Shi Ning: "..." Hmm what?
She tilted her head to look at him, and he was drinking his soup calmly as always.
Shi Ning gritted her teeth: "Is it delicious?"
"Well, it's delicious."
Shi Ning continued: "I'm quite virtuous, right? Look, I can even make soup."
Yan Yizhou's expression remained unchanged: "There is still room for improvement."
Shi Ning stood up from the sofa, snatched the insulation box from his hand, knocked it lightly on the table in front of him, looked down at him, and said speechlessly: "There will be no room for improvement. Do it yourself next time!"
She knew that Yan Yizhou did it on purpose.
There is a woman who has been chasing him for so long, and he still says that she is good-looking?
After all, even if the two kissed last time, he never personally said that he would remove the two words before "fake boyfriend and girlfriend".At first, she thought that she was already cooking soup, and when the time was right, it would be okay to pierce the window paper by herself.
Now, she will never be the one who speaks first!
The Shi family's baby, Pidao, still has some confidence. Besides, she is a girl, so she is hypocritical.
Seeing Shi Ning leave, Yan Yizhou smiled and shook his head.A voice watching the show just came from behind: "Some people are careful about their wives for a while, and chase their wives to the crematorium."
Yan Yizhou turned around and said to the few people who were acting stupid behind him: "Next time, tell Shi Ning some nonsense, and all wages will be deducted."
Qi Heng raised his hand: "Hey, this is not nonsense, we will report it truthfully."
Xiaoyou: "There's nothing wrong with that. Making my sister-in-law feel a little bit of a crisis will help strengthen the relationship between you."
Yan Yizhou picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it over, then said coldly, "The conference room will have a meeting in 10 minutes."
"A meeting again?" Qi Heng stood up, walked around the sofa, put his arm on Yan Yizhou's shoulder and said in a low voice, "What does that woman mean by coming here today? She doesn't really intend to cooperate with us, does she?"
Yan Yizhou's expression remained unchanged: "I don't agree."
Qi Heng nodded: "You're right, I've inquired about the software development team she's in now, and a few people's resumes are not very clean. Asking Julian to lobby you is obviously because of the fact that the two of you know each other Friendship, with her, this matter may be difficult."
Yan Yizhou waved his hand away, and glanced over: "Since you all know it, are you talking nonsense?"
"Where are you talking nonsense? Don't you have fun yourself? Besides, it's a fact that Julian is chasing you? If you didn't understand the style at the beginning, I would have wondered if there was something wrong with you."
……
(End of this chapter)
13
When I went downstairs, it was already late.
Yan Yizhou reached out his hand to stop Shi Ning who jumped down from the stairs, and asked, "Why are you in such a panic?"
"Nothing." She denied too quickly.
Yan Yizhou doubted: "It's nothing, your face is so red?"
Shi Ning thought of her mother, Ms. Xu Jiali's explicit temptations and reminders, and felt her face was on fire, especially when Yan Yizhou was staring at her.
She thought of something, and changed the subject: "You performed well today. It can be seen that my parents like you very much."
It's almost the same as when I was a child, and it's still like this after so many years.
Yan Yizhou laughed, but said nothing.
Shi Ning paused, and then asked: "You said today that you recognized me when you first met me?" Yan Yizhou raised his eyebrows and said, "This sentence is true."
Shi Ning guessed that what he said was half-truth and half-false, like he said that he liked her for a long time, and the pursuit process was not easy, he was obviously playing the sympathy card.
But what Shi Ning cares more about is: "You recognized me and didn't tell me?"
"It's because you are too stupid, and I haven't changed my name, so you don't even doubt it?"
Shi Ning was right after thinking about it, and quibbled: "I was too young at that time, okay, I always called you brother, and I don't remember your name at all. But it's your problem that you haven't said it all the time."
Yan Yizhou reached out to press the top of her head, and by the way, suppressed her little temper.
Yan Yizhou withdrew his hands in his pockets, looked down at Shi Ning's eyes and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Shi Ning asked.
"It's nothing, I thought of something from my childhood."
Yan Yizhou's deepest memory of the city in front of him is actually just a few years, the moss on the stone road outside the yard when he was a child, the sound of raindrops on the roof when it rained, and the quarrels between his parents every day.
He should be regarded as a special child in the eyes of those around him.
Silent and withdrawn, alone.
One day, crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded in the yard, and his mother told him that Uncle Shi's family next door gave birth to a daughter.
The first time he saw her, she was a little bit big, and she couldn't even open her eyes when she was held in her mother's arms.
But it was much better looking than the wrinkled newborn babies he had seen before.
As time passed, the increasingly intensified quarrel between his parents became gossip on the streets and alleys every day, and he didn't even want to enter the house for a while.
He was sitting on the stone steps when a festive glutinous rice dumpling suddenly stumbled towards him.
At that time, she was still walking unsteadily, and she stretched out her hand to him two steps away, showing two white small teeth.
Any older, and she'd start hugging his thighs.
She sat on the ground at every turn, raised her head with her black eyes open and called him brother.
She asked for food and drink, and asked him to play with her. When she was rejected, she could immediately curl her lips and start crying.
His parents divorced, and when he left the city with his father, the child was in elementary school, and he never saw him again.
The reunion was unexpected, and he didn't think about telling her who he was.
Yan Yizhou withdrew his thoughts, looked at Shi Ning's not-so-happy expression and said, "Next week, I plan to go back to the old courtyard where I used to live. Do you want to come together?"
Shi Ning's eyes lit up: "Okay."
"Okay, then you go up first, I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
Shi Ning stood still for a long time, looked at Yan Yizhou and asked hesitantly, "How long will we keep in this state?"
Always pretended to be a couple.
Yan Yizhou knew what she meant, and replied, "When the time is right."
Shi Ning had a dark face: "What I'm asking is when is the so-called time ripe?"
"You have someone you love." Yan Yizhou looked into her eyes and said.
Shi Ning's heart skipped a beat, and seeing his other hand put back into his pocket, he replied flatly, "Maybe I have."
Shi Ning: "Oh..."
She wanted to ask him just now if he had such a slight liking for her, but the words were on the verge of her mouth, and looking at Yan Yizhou's face, she insisted on not asking.
Forget it, wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone said no.
When Shi Ning was forced out of bed by her mother the next day, her mind was still muddled.She had insomnia last night, thinking about something in a mess in her mind, and rolled on the bed until more than two o'clock in the middle of the night before falling asleep.
Ms. Xu Jiali slapped her and said: "Get up quickly, Xiao Yan arrived downstairs early in the morning, what do you look like if you are still lying in bed? Come on, don't cry when you are going to be late later. "
Shi Ning suddenly remembered that Yan Yizhou said he would pick her up early this morning, and she jumped up from the bed.
Shi Ning hurriedly washed up, and ran downstairs with her breakfast.
She opened the door of the passenger seat and sat on it, looked at Yan Yizhou who was leaning on the car window with one hand and looking at her, and said, "Excuse me, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"It's okay." Yan Yizhou looked at her face, "Didn't sleep well last night?"
"Well, I'm having insomnia."
"Why insomnia?"
Because you have been spinning in my mind, Shi Ning didn't say this, and handed over the breakfast in her hand: "Here, my mother prepared it for you."
"Actually, I've already eaten." Although he said so, he still took it, "Thank you for me, Auntie."
During the morning rush hour, the car was stuck on the road for more than ten minutes, but luckily I was not late.
Shi Ning hurriedly waved to Yan Yizhou, and ran into the building of Nanda Hospital.
At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, she received a call from Yan Yizhou.
"Busy?" he asked.
"No, just free, what's the matter?"
"I'm going on a business trip to another province, and I'll be back in two days."
Shi Ning: "Oh..."
Yan Yizhou was also silent for a long time, and after a while he said: "It's nothing, just to tell you. There seems to be something wrong with the washing machine at home. When I come back and find someone to fix it, don't use it for the next two days. gone."
"Oh, okay, be careful on the road."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Ning stood by the window and patted her chest. Was Yan Yizhou reporting his whereabouts to him just now?
This is a conversation that only real boyfriends and girlfriends have, right?
On the other side, Zhou Rui, who was on a business trip with Yan Yizhou due to a temporary arrangement, saw him coming back after a long time, and asked casually, "Brother Zhou, you have been on the phone for so long, and you reported the itinerary to your girlfriend?"
"Yeah." Yan Yizhou nodded expressionlessly.
Zhou Rui: "..."
He sat on the stool in the airport waiting room for a long time, and then he remembered to take out his mobile phone and share this huge gossip with others in the group.
"The boss is out of order! He admitted it himself!"
Sure enough, the group exploded.
Zhou Rui carefully inquired about gossip with Yan Yizhou: "If I'm not wrong, it's the girl who came to 'Moore Space' twice before, right?"
Yan Yizhou nodded: "Yes."
The more Zhou Rui asked, the more excited he became: "When did it happen?"
"Two days ago."
"Who's chasing who?"
Yan Yizhou finally raised his head and glanced over coldly: "You ask too many questions."
Zhou Rui backed away in fright, and then said as if he was not afraid of death: "I think, with your fierce and decisive methods all these years, Boss, it's easy to take him down, right?"
The subtext is that you have many routines and deep thoughts, the girl probably didn't even notice that she fell into it.
Yan Yizhou didn't speak anymore, but kept staring at the laptop on his lap without stopping his movements.
The two have now changed from landlords and tenants to "boyfriend and boyfriend", and their relationship can be regarded as a qualitative leap.
As for whether it was intentional, only Yan Yizhou knew.
Yan Yizhou got on the plane smoothly, but Shi Ning found himself getting nervous.
Always want to take the phone.
She really wanted to ask Yan Yizhou if he got on the plane, what time he arrived, and what he was going to do, but then she thought that she seemed to be thinking a little too much, which was beyond the scope of the current relationship between the two of them, so she gave up.But she couldn't control her mind, so she seemed restless.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaoxiao's call diverted part of Shi Ning's attention.
Yang Xiaoxiao seemed to have some new signs of progress with her brother who was like a big radish. Shi Ning asked her, "How far has it progressed?"
"He...he kissed me."
Shi Ning: "..."
She just wanted to scold Shi Jun as a beast at the moment, but in just a few days, he bullied him vigorously because he liked him.
Yang Xiaoxiao was obviously still very excited, and stammered, "I think...he might...maybe also likes me a little bit."
Yang Xiaoxiao is working at the milk tea shop this afternoon.
Shi Jun suddenly came in with a few foreigners in his briefcase. While visiting, he also introduced the signs of the store.
She was so frightened that she didn't know what he wanted to do.
Seeing her flustered, Shi Jun leaned on the table with a comforting smile and said, "Don't panic, these people are my partners, and if you want to experience the taste of authentic Chinese milk tea, you can just do as usual."
She nodded.
Yang Xiaoxiao was doing the movements with her hands while listening to them chatting and joking in Chinese and English.
Yang Xiaoxiao's English is ok, and she can basically understand her.
It was because she could understand that she was even more embarrassed. Among them, two foreigners with yellow hair kept praising her for being cute in English, and even Shi Jun looked at her several times.
She didn't even dare to lift her head.
After half an hour, they finally decided to get up and leave. One of the British boys took advantage of the checkout gap and approached Yang Xiaoxiao in English to ask for her phone number.
Yang Xiaoxiao was thinking about pretending that she didn't understand, and forgetting about it, when she saw Shi Jun walking over.
He put his arms around the boy's neck to get him away, and said with a smile, "Hey, she is my girlfriend." After speaking, as if to confirm his own words, he took advantage of Yang Xiaoxiao's unpreparedness, stretched out his hand and pressed The back of her head kissed her forehead directly.
Yang Xiaoxiao said to Shi Ning on the phone: "At that time, I felt that my heart was about to stop."
It's shock and surprise.
Yang Xiaoxiao said: "I knew he was trying to help me out, so I went to ask him."
"What did he say?" Shi Ning asked.
Yang Xiaoxiao imitated Shi Jun's tone: "The rescue is true, and I can't help kissing you."
Although she didn't learn very well.
Shi Ning scolded Shi Jun as a "big pig's hoof", and felt that Yang Xiaoxiao, a little white rabbit, was eaten to death by Shi Jun.Shi Ning couldn't guarantee if her brother was playing for real this time, so she sent her brother a message.
Shi Ning: "Do you like Xiaoxiao?"
Shi Jun: "Do you like Yan Yizhou?"
Shi Ning: "I like it."
Shi Jun: "Then I like it too."
Shi Ning was convinced, and then posted: "Don't play on Xiaoxiao's head, it's not like you don't know how much she likes you. If you're not serious, don't provoke her."
Shi Jun: "Are you still going to be my emotional counselor? I heard that Yan Yizhou's kid actually passed the test of his parents. My brother will give you a piece of advice. I don’t care about you when you go home and cry.”
Brothers and sisters come and go, and I don't know who is educating whom.
Shi Jun finally turned off his mobile phone, thinking of the news he heard recently, he couldn't help but sweat for his sister.
Yan Yizhou had stayed in the United States before, and was a core member of a top international software development company. Later, he returned to China for development. Now he has quietly built a company, and has been closely watched by relevant people in the industry. It is said that there is no simple person in the team. .
With such a character, can my silly sister play well?
14
Of course, Shi Ning has no way of knowing all this. Her field of work is far from Yan Yizhou's field by more than a thousand miles, so Yan Yizhou has been on a business trip for the past two days, and she can't even find a place to start asking him about his work.
Later, she simply didn't ask anything, thinking about letting nature take its course.
That afternoon two days later.
The weather was rarely cool, so Shi Ning bumped into Tang Wenqing who had just come back outside Nanda Gate.
Shi Ning knew that he accepted the opportunity to go abroad for exchange and study, and it should be the time for the handover recently, so he has been busy.Shi Ning even heard many people in the hospital yelling that they couldn't bear his words every day.
"Brother." Shi Ning greeted.
Tang Wenqing looked at her and smiled: "Have a cup of coffee together?"
"Okay, I'm treating you." Shi Ning said.
The two found a nearby coffee shop, Shi Ning sat down and said, "Congratulations, brother, I wish you success in the future."
"Thank you, but there is nothing to congratulate, so I changed the environment."
The relationship between them has not changed much from before, which made Shi Ning a little more comfortable. She asked, "I heard that you went abroad with senior sister?"
"Nothing, I didn't agree."
Just as the coffee was served, Shi Ning didn't continue to ask, she knew that it would be embarrassing to ask this topic.
Tang Wenqing took a sip of coffee, looked at her, and said, "Before, I really imagined that the two of us might have the opportunity to go abroad together, but I didn't expect you to refuse so simply."
Shi Ning said: "Although I have regrets, I generally don't regret the decisions I have made."
"Well, you've always been so...simple."
Shi Ning was a little surprised to hear this comment.
Tang Wenqing smiled and said, "Isn't it? In my eyes, you have always been like this. You can see through what you like and what you don't like at a glance."
Shi Ning smiled exaggeratedly: "So I am like this?"
Tang Wenqing slammed the coffee cup on the table, his expression suddenly became more serious, Shi Ning suddenly became a little nervous, and sure enough, he heard him say in the next second: "Although it's a bit late to say now, I think we should be very close in a short time." It’s hard to meet again, so I decided to tell you.”
When he said this, seeing Shi Ning unconsciously clenched the cup in his hand, he smiled and said, "You have already guessed it, I like you."
The words from the other person's mouth and the person's mouth were completely different feelings, and Shi Ning felt mixed feelings for a while.
It's not that she hasn't been confessed before, but she doesn't know what to say when faced with the confession of her senior brother who has always been so close to her.
After a long time, she could only answer dryly: "I guessed a little bit."
Tang Wenqing glanced out of the window, with a calm expression, quickly turned around and smiled again, saying, "You don't have to feel any pressure, we are still friends."
Shi Ning nodded: "Yes."
The next sentence he continued to tease: "I met your boyfriend, he is nice."
Shi Ning: "Thank you..."
At the same time, at the gate of Nanda, a very tall jeep was parked in the open space, and a tall and long-legged extremely handsome man came down, attracting the attention of many people.
He stood there with his back against the car body, with a look of indifference to the eyes of his surroundings, and he turned the mobile phone in his hand calmly, as if he was waiting for someone.
People around him came and went, unconsciously looking at him.
There were even a few bold girls who laughed and said they would go up to him to strike up a conversation, and two or three groups of people passed by in a short while.
Someone asked him curiously: "Handsome guy, who are you waiting for?"
Yan Yizhou was not too cold to say anything, and replied, "Girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" Some people were disappointed, some people were surprised: "Which girl in Nanda has found a boyfriend as handsome as you, and I have never heard of it."
Naturally, it wasn't the first time Yan Yizhou came here, but he didn't stay here much before, and it was impossible for Shi Ning to publicize it everywhere, not to mention that both of them had such false identities that were not worthy of the name.
Seeing that Yan Yizhou didn't answer, someone said, "Don't you introduce yourself? If you don't tell me, we will reasonably suspect that you are lying."
Among them, two girls were reluctant, and they probably thought it was fun.
After all, this is Shi Ning's workplace, and whether these people know each other or not, they are still her colleagues. Yan Yizhou said, "Shi Ning."
Several girls suddenly showed stunned expressions. Shi Ning is a well-known beauty in Nanda, and there are really a small number of people who have never heard of her name.
Sure enough, in this world, good-looking people are with good-looking people.
The people who joined in the fun began to disperse.
However, someone who was walking this way stopped when he heard Shi Ning's name, and now he saw that everyone had left, so he stepped forward.
Yan Yizhou looked at the person in front of him and asked, "What's the matter?"
What can Zhou Yaqin say? She has been disliked by Shi Ning for a long time. In her eyes, as long as it is about Shi Ning, she will always pay special attention to it.
She smiled and stretched out her hand: "I am a colleague who entered Nanda in the same batch as Shi Ning. My name is Zhou Yaqin."
Yan Yizhou didn't reach out to shake it back, but just nodded: "Hello."
Anyone who is familiar with Yan Yizhou can tell from his attitude that he doesn't just dislike the person in front of him anymore, but he doesn't even intend to do all the superficial politeness.
Even if Shi Ning never said anything about work and colleagues, Yan Yizhou still has this ability to distinguish people.
The person in front of him didn't look like someone who just came to say hello.
Sure enough, Zhou Yaqin's complexion changed slightly, but he still kept the corners of his mouth raised. He changed the topic and continued to smile and said, "Are you looking for Shi Ning? But she is not here now. As far as I know, she is talking to Tang from our courtyard. The doctor has gone out. You probably don't know who this doctor Tang is, he was Shi Ning's senior in college, and I heard that he originally wanted to take Shi Ning to go abroad with him a few days ago."
Zhou Yaqin observed Yan Yizhou's expression while talking.
But she was disappointed, this person didn't seem to hear her at all, making her look like a clown.
Her face froze.
At this moment, two figures came over from the road on the left side of Nanda, they were Shi Ning and Tang Wenqing.
The two laughed and talked about something, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Seeing Yan Yizhou's eyes flickering in that direction, Zhou Yaqin was overjoyed, coughed twice, pointed over there and said, "They're back." After speaking, he answered as if he was muttering to himself, "Listen It is said that Tang Wenqing has been chasing Shi Ning for a long time, and I don't know what the two of them did just now."
It's almost like saying clearly, Shi Ning Zhao Qin Muchu, with you as a boyfriend, she is still smiling at other suitors.
Yan Yizhou's attention was drawn back.
He smiled, and suddenly felt a little pity for this clumsy and childish provocateur.
Deliberately pretending to be influenced, he lowered his eyes and said softly, "Really?"
Zhou Yaqin changed his attitude at this moment, as if he was very embarrassed: "Ah, don't take it seriously, I just said it casually, it will not be good if it affects your relationship."
"No." Yan Yizhou changed the subject, and smiled inscrutablely, "I like it like this."
Zhou Yaqin: "..."
Yan Yizhou paid attention to Shi Ning's movements, seeing that she seemed to have discovered him, he turned his gaze back again, and called to stop Zhou Yaqin who was about to turn around and leave.
"Ms. Zhou, although our Shi Ning has always been big-minded, I'm sorry, I'm small-minded. I don't know anything about your yard, but if you have anything you don't like next time, you can talk to me directly. If anyone makes her unhappy one day, if she plays with me, I will make the other party unhappy too."
Yan Yizhou's voice was very soft, but his meaning was clear. There was someone behind Shi Ning, and that person was Yan Yizhou.
This time Zhou Yaqin's face was completely broken. She fully understood that it was a stupid decision to show off in front of this man.
In the distance, Shi Ning accidentally saw Yan Yizhou. He was wearing a short black jacket, leaning against the car body with his sleeves rolled up, his long legs crossed and his posture loose.He didn't seem to notice the scrutinizing eyes of the passers-by around him, and he was talking to the person standing in front of him.
Shi Ning looked at it for a long time, and confirmed it several times before she was sure that the woman was Zhou Yaqin?
What did Zhou Yaqin tell Yan Yizhou?
Shi Ning knew exactly who Zhou Yaqin was. It was a terrible situation. She waved goodbye to Tang Wenqing and walked straight towards Yan Yizhou.
Before Shi Ning got to the place, she found that Zhou Yaqin had turned around and left, but her expression was not good no matter what.
Shi Ning: "..."
She walked towards Yan Yizhou again, and he was so close that he had no intention of moving.
"I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow." Shi Ning stood in front of him and spoke first.
Yan Yizhou smiled: "The work is over today, so I came back directly."
Shi Ning nodded, she observed Yan Yizhou's expression, he didn't look unhappy.Getting closer, she raised her head and asked him, "What did Zhou Yaqin tell you just now?"
Yan Yizhou raised his eyebrows, glanced at where Tang Wenqing was standing just now, and said, "It's nothing, it means that your senior brother has been chasing you for a long time, and said that you plan to go abroad together."
Shi Ning: "She talks nonsense!"
Shi Ning was so angry, who is it?
She explained to Yan Yizhou very seriously: "The matter of going abroad was suggested by the courtyard, and I rejected it at that time, and the brother is going to go abroad soon, so I just treated him to a cup of coffee."
The moment she finished speaking, she thought to herself, why was she in such a hurry to explain to him?
Yan Yizhou smiled, Shi Ning thought about it and was still angry, and said, "No, I have to ask Zhou Yaqin to clarify!"
Yan Yizhou took her arm.
He smiled and said, "I just came back, are you sure you want to spoil the next plan because of such a person?"
It's really not worth it when Shi Ning thinks about it.
However, she was soon aroused by Yan Yizhou's curiosity: "What plan?"
Yan Yizhou said: "Go to eat, are you off work? Get in the car after get off work."
Shi Ning didn't need Yan Yizhou's help, she opened the car door and sat in, leaned on the window sill and smiled at him and said, "Then let's go, Mr. Yan."
Yan Yizhou took Shi Ning to a place she had never been to before.
Shi Ning followed him around the seven bends and eight alleys, and saw the most intense and real images of the city.
"Where is this?" Shi Ning asked.
Surrounded by food stalls, the aroma of food has been lingering in the nose.
She suddenly felt hungry.
Yan Yizhou finally found a small shop and sat down, pointed to the side and said, "Bypassing the street next to it is No. [-] Middle School."
When he said this, Shi Ning remembered.Isn't this the junior high school that Shi Jun attended? Yan Yizhou and her brother are in the same school, but he left before graduation.
Shi Ning was in a trance for a while, until she heard the boss ask them what they were eating.
Yan Yizhou said: "Why don't you try their beef noodles, it's delicious."
Shi Ning followed him and ordered this.She looked around, and it was approaching evening, and there were quite a few people chatting around almost every shop in the alley.
Shi Ning asked, "Have you been here since you came back?"
"I've been here once, but I didn't expect the store here to be here all the time."
More than ten years have passed, the city has changed, and the people have changed, but there are always some things in memory.Yan Yizhou pointed behind Shi Ning, and said with a smile, "Back then, your brother even invited someone to fight there."
Shi Ning doubted: "Really?"
"Really, talk harshly to the other party, whoever admits defeat first is the grandson."
Something flashed through Shi Ning's mind, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "Don't tell me that you are the one who made an appointment with my brother?"
Unexpectedly, Yan Yizhou nodded.
Shi Ning: "Who won in the end?"
"No fight."
"why?"
"Someone told the teacher."
Shi Ning couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing with a "puchi", she didn't expect such a result.
But when Shi Ning accidentally brushed the old scar on Yan Yizhou's brow bone again, she fell silent.In fact, if you don't look carefully, there are basically no traces of the scar.
Shi Ning asked casually, "Then did you still fight afterward?"
Yan Yizhou was silent for a while.
"Hit," he said.
Shi Ning noticed that he was touching his pocket, probably wanting to smoke, but in the end he stopped and said flatly, "When my dad just had an accident, he fought with people every day."
Shi Ning's heart suddenly clenched, and she tasted the taste of heartache.
She pointed to her brow bone: "Is this also from that time?"
Yan Yizhou nodded.
Shi Ning could even imagine that a teenage boy was supposed to be a talented boy, but a sudden family accident destroyed his world.
Let him go to the end of the road and become an enemy of the whole world.
Shi Ning leaned her elbows on the small square table, looked at Yan Yizhou tenderly, and said softly, "If you want, I can repair your scars for free."
Yan Yizhou looked up at her, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "No need, it won't affect anything anyway."
Shi Ning admitted in her heart that the scar would never affect his handsomeness, but she still said, "But that's all I can do."
Yan Yizhou's eyes softened in an instant.
He stretched out his hand to shuffle the hair on her forehead, and said with a light smile, "Don't underestimate yourself, your usefulness is more than that."
At least it made him feel so relaxed for the first time when recalling the past.
Shi Ning had to admit that the food in this shop was really delicious, and it was almost 07:30 when the two finished their dinner and came out of the alley.At the beginning of the roadside lights, rows of street lights are lit up one after another.
Yan Yizhou drove her back.
After entering the door, I found that there was no sign of anyone returning from the house. Shi Ning asked Yan Yizhou who was following behind: "Have you returned from a business trip?"
"No, I went to the company and then picked you up."
Picking her up was just for dinner, when Shi Ning thought of this, her joy level instantly increased by more than two levels.
But when everything quieted down, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Shi Ning sat cross-legged on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, and turned on the TV at will.
She didn't pay attention to what was on the TV at all, but noticed that Yan Yizhou kept coming in and out.He first entered the room, then entered the bathroom with the towel, then turned back to get the cup and went in again.
This was the first night that the two really lived in the same house after publicly admitting their identities as boyfriend and girlfriend in front of Father Shi and Mother Shi.
Shi Ning always felt awkward, everything was wrong.
She forced herself to turn her attention back to the TV, but within two seconds she was distracted by other sounds, and she heard the constant sound of water in the bathroom.
When the water stopped, Shi Ning sat upright immediately.
Yan Yizhou took a bath very quickly, perhaps because he had girls in mind, he wore a set of conservative cotton pajamas, and came out barefoot.
Shi Ning looked at his bare ankles on the ground, and swallowed unconsciously.
Yan Yizhou didn't seem to notice her eyes at all, and went straight to the kitchen.
He came out again soon, put a glass of water on the coffee table with one hand, and put the other hand on Shi Ning's forehead.
Shi Ning's whole body froze because his hands were moist and warm after taking a bath.
Seeing him frowning slightly, Shi Ning said to her, "Did you catch a cold? I have a little fever."
She suddenly bounced off the sofa, jumped off and said, "No, I'm going to take a shower first."
Yan Yizhou watched her close the bathroom door with a "bang", the smile hidden in the corner of her mouth widened and finally transformed into a helpless and pampering smile.
15
Because Yan Yizhou asked her to go back to the old house with her this weekend, Shi Ning asked Yu Lu to change shifts early on.
Early that morning, in a city that hadn't rained for half a month, it started to rain lightly.
But the two still had a tacit understanding without saying anything, and went out together.
From the area where they are now back to the place where they lived before, it will take four to 10 minutes if there is no traffic jam.
Fortunately, they passed smoothly along the way.
Now this old house has already been included in the demolition map planned by the government, and demolition construction sites can be seen everywhere around it, and when it rains, the surrounding roads become difficult to walk.
Yan Yizhou protected Shi Ning all the way with an umbrella to prevent her from falling.
The two got out of the car and walked for nearly 10 minutes, and finally saw a familiar place.
It has not been demolished here yet, so the old yard is relatively well preserved.
The gate of the compound was locked and rusty, and the peeling walls and dead branches around were marks of time.
Shi Ning stood in front of the door and looked at Yan Yizhou: "What should I do? I can't get in at all."
Yan Yizhou stepped forward and pulled the iron lock twice, and opened it.
Shi Ning: "..."
They stepped into the yard back and forth. Shi Ning didn't know how Yan Yizhou felt. Anyway, she had a very familiar and friendly feeling. The place where she grew up carried too many childhood memories.
There is a big persimmon tree in the middle of the yard, but Shi Ning has never seen it bear a single persimmon in all these years.
Yan Yizhou came over and stood side by side with Shi Ning under the tree.
Shi Ning felt very, very magical at this moment. She remembered that there was a small swing under this tree when she was very young.At that time, her parents were busy, and Shi Jun was busy messing around with his buddies. Most of the time, it was Yan Yizhou who moved a stool in the yard while doing homework and helping to take care of her.
Now that the scene has changed, they are standing in the place where they once lived together in an adult posture.
Shi Ning suddenly turned her eyes, pointed to a small pit on the side and said, "I remember when I lost my temper and insisted on planting a litter of rabbits there, right?"
Yan Yizhou smiled and nodded: "Yes, I was bitten by a rabbit in the end, and I almost cried to death."
Papa Shi bought that rabbit specially to coax her. She naively thought that planting a rabbit would produce a litter of rabbits.Little did she know that the rabbit would bite when it was in a hurry, which made her little index finger swell for a whole week.
So many years later, when countless women whispered "bunny is so cute, how can you eat rabbit", only she left endless psychological shadows on rabbits.
Shi Ning dragged Yan Yizhou around the yard, and was familiar with every place, with his own little story.
She had a great time talking, and kept secretly observing Yan Yizhou's expression.
Because she knew that Yan Yizhou was different, and his feelings about this place should be complicated.
It is the period when he has the most complete family, and it is also reminding him that his original family relationship is very bad.
Shi Ning tried her best to tell some funny stories about herself, and by the way, she also revealed the scandal about Shi Jun taking off his pants and kneeling in the yard being beaten.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Yan Yizhou, she grabbed his sleeve, raised her head and asked him, "How does it feel to come back?"
Yan Yizhou turned around, looked down at her, and lightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Not bad."
Shi Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, she found that Yan Yizhou had been staring at her, stroking her hair with his hand.
Shi Ning wondered, "Why..."
"Baby." This almost whispered address seemed to be uttered from the depths of Yan Yizhou's throat, with endless tenderness and intimacy.
Shi Ning felt that everything from her fingertips to her scalp exploded in an instant, and she blushed and said urgently, "Don't yell!"
"Baby" was Shi Ning's nickname when she was a child, but even her parents haven't called her that for many years. When Yan Yizhou came here suddenly, she felt as if she had rolled through magma, and her whole body was hot.
The moment Shi Ning raised his head, Yan Yizhou also happened to catch the precise timing and lowered his head.
The soft touch on the lips made Shi Ning react for a while before realizing that Yan Yizhou was kissing her.
The umbrella in Yan Yizhou's hand was thrown away at some point, he held her waist and pulled her towards him, the strength in his hand was getting stronger and stronger.Moreover, Yan Yizhou didn't seem to intend to let her go easily, and kissed her repeatedly, as if he wanted to deeply imprint his brand on the person in his arms.
Shi Ning had difficulty breathing, she never expected Yan Yizhou to be so domineering when he kissed him.
When Yan Yizhou finally felt that the kiss was enough, he slowly let go, but the hand on her waist did not move.
While Shi Ning was embarrassed, she also felt that her face was burning.
She didn't even dare to raise her head to meet Yan Yizhou's eyes.
But they were so close, Shi Ning couldn't avoid it, and finally looked up at the sky helplessly, and then said pleasantly: "The sky is clear."
At this moment, the drizzle had stopped, and the thick clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and a ray of light penetrated the clouds and leaves, and sprinkled on the feet of the two of them.
Yan Yizhou looked at Shi Ning's smile, which was brighter than the sun.
Like the tacit understanding between each other, no one mentioned this sudden kiss afterwards.
But Shi Ning can be sure that Yan Yizhou doesn't say how much he likes her, but at least he has feelings for her, right?Otherwise, why kiss her for no reason?
Nanda, two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shi Ning finally got a free time, and was dragged by several colleagues in the hospital to gossip.
Yu Lu took her arm: "Why are you so dazed as you keep touching your lips? Have you got cheilitis?"
Shi Ning: "I don't have cheilitis, okay?"
She put down her hand, and felt helpless for her behavior of recalling that kiss whenever she was free, Yan Yizhou's face always flashed in her mind.
She changed the subject and asked them, "What were you talking about just now?"
Colleague A said: "Didn't you just listen? A nurse in our department was followed yesterday." "Stalking?" Shi Ning was taken aback, "Who is it?"
"I said I didn't see her face clearly, but she was on the night shift last night, so she must have been quite frightened. Fortunately, someone passed by at that time, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
"It can't be some pervert, right?" Someone said in horror.
Shi Ning put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, frowned delicately, and answered, "Did you call the police?"
"It's useless to call the police. You don't even know what a person looks like."
Nowadays, there are many reports on the news about being followed by strangers and then having accidents. In this world, the relationship between doctors and patients is tense, and the plastic surgery industry is not much better.
Shi Ning said: "Everyone should be careful these days, go together after get off work, don't leave alone."
Someone laughed: "We are all quite safe, a beautiful woman like you should be more careful, right?"
Shi Ning raised the folder in her hand and photographed it, and said with a smile, "It's just you who are free after work."
There was no follow-up to this incident. The girl who was followed returned to work normally. After a few days, everything was normal.
Shi Ning hasn't seen Yan Yizhou much in the past few days. Since he came back from his last business trip, he seems to have accepted some kind of cooperation. Recently, he has been working overtime day and night.
Often when Shi Ning fell asleep, he didn't come back, but when Shi Ning got up, he had already left, and the time was perfectly staggered.
This made her feel slightly depressed.
Even if it's not a real couple, but is this the state that a fake couple who just kissed should have?
Shi Ning happened to have half a day off on Sunday, so she slept until noon.With her messy hair, she stepped on her slippers to search the refrigerator, only to find food wrapped in plastic wrap, several of which were her favorite.
She was wondering when she saw a post-it note inside.
"Seeing that you rarely have a holiday, I'll reward you. Heat it up before eating, and be careful of diarrhea."
The font is strong and beautiful, and it looks like it was written by Yan Yizhou.
Shi Ning smiled immediately, ran over to pick up her phone and sent a message asking him, "When did you come back yesterday?"
Because of the relationship of pretending to be a couple, Shi Ning has always been embarrassed to ask him about his itinerary, and she didn't dare to send messages to ask him what he was doing. After all, she seemed too proactive and urgent.
He was probably busy at the moment, so he didn't reply after waiting for a few minutes.
Shi Ning simply put down her phone and went to get some food, halfway through she wondered if she should reciprocate, Yan Yizhou was even busier than her.
Thinking that she was about to act, she immediately called her mother.
Shi's mother was surprised over there: "What do you say you want to learn?"
"Make soup."
Shi Ma guessed right: "Give Xiao Yan a drink?"
Shi Ning hesitantly said "Yes".
The loudspeaker was probably turned on over there, and Dad Shi heard it, and immediately said: "You have never been allowed to enter the kitchen at home, but now you are learning how to cook soup for a man. You can turn your elbows very quickly."
Not to offend her own father, Shi Ning hurriedly made amends: "Dad, you have to believe that among all the men in the world, I will always love you the most."
Dad Shi complained that she only knew how to speak with her mouth, but her tone was obviously tinged with a smile.
Just when Yan Yizhou replied, Shi Ning said to her mother, "Mom, please send me the production process. If there is anything else I don't know, I will call you again."
She hung up the phone and saw Yan Yizhou replied, "Around one o'clock."
Shi Ning thought to herself, no wonder she didn't know.
She immediately took a picture of the food for him and said, "Lunch is good, I'll show you my heart."
After sending the message, she stared at the emoji with red hearts constantly popping out, and added a moving picture of "I LOVE YOU" in a daze.
Hmm... is it too straightforward?
Yan Yizhou was calm, and replied like a businessman: "Well, I'm busy recently and I can't make it for you often, remember to eat well."
There was no ambiguity at all, Shi Ning was speechless, thinking such a straight man?
It's a fact that Shi Ning doesn't know how to cook. I didn't talk about it when I was at home. Later, when I came out to work, I ate in the cafeteria when I went to work. When I was at home, I basically relied on takeaway and fast food to support myself.
But she bumped and bumped, and in the end she actually boiled a pot of corn ribs soup. She made it that day, thinking that Yan Yizhou's place of work is not far from the hospital anyway, so she simply took it there.
Qi Heng and the others happened to be on the first floor, and they knew her very well, and they kept smiling ambiguously when they saw her.
Shi Ning: "..."
She picked up the thing on the handle and said, "I brought some food, do you want a piece?"
A group of people waved their hands quickly.
Xiaoyou said in a super loud voice: "Sister-in-law is so virtuous!"
Shi Ning often can't stand the painting style of this group of people together, which makes her feel overwhelmed.After looking around but not seeing Yan Yizhou, she could only quickly say, "Um... isn't he here?"
"Yes, yes." Qi Heng pointed to the top, "But he is talking about something now, you can sit here and wait for a while."
Shi Ning noticed that Qi Heng gave other people a wink when he said this. Although he thought it was strange, he didn't think much about it.She put the heat preservation box in her hand on the table and said, "I still have something to do today, just give it to him later, I'll go first."
"Eh……"
They were about to call Shi Ning to stop when someone came down from the second floor.
Shi Ning turned around and saw Yan Yizhou first. He was coming down the stairs with his coat on his arm, and he was talking to the people behind him.Just as Shi Ning was about to say hello, he saw someone following him.
Shi Ning rarely sees such a tall girl. Wearing high heels, she looks only two or three centimeters shorter than Yan Yizhou, who is more than 1.8 meters tall. She is wearing a skirt that wraps around her hips, with a protruding front and back. She is a very European-style mature woman.
From a woman's sixth sense, she feels threatened.
The other party obviously also saw Shi Ning, saw that she was very familiar with Xiao You and Qi Heng, and asked Yan Yizhou with a smile: "Didn't you say that your company doesn't recruit girls? Why don't you introduce them?"
"Girlfriend." Yan Yizhou said.
Yan Yizhou changed his clothes and put his arm on it, walked up to Shi Ning, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Shi Ning lifted the insulation box on her hand.
Yan Yizhou was a little surprised: "You did it?"
"if not."
Shi Ning had just finished chatting with Yan Yizhou, when she realized that the woman's face seemed not right just now, and she kept looking at herself in surprise, Shi Ning nodded at the other party: "Hello, my name is Shi Ning."
The woman smiled: "Julian."
Julian left quickly, and Yan Yizhou sent her out.
Shi Ning asked Qi Heng: "Is Julian here to talk about work?"
"Half and half." Qi Heng whispered to Shi Ning in a rather mysterious voice, "As far as I know, Julian has been chasing Lao Yan for more than a year. She said she was talking about cooperation, but how much selfishness is there?" Well, it's hard to say."
Shi Ning was startled: "More than a year?"
"That's right." Zhou Rui joined in enthusiastically, and continued, "Julian is a well-known strong woman in the industry, and there are countless men who have had relationships with her, and our Brother Zhou is as stable as an old dog. You can't sit still. Then Julian must be vomiting blood when she sees you now, hahaha!"
Shi Ning couldn't laugh.
Don't say that they are a fake couple now, even if it's a fake, a woman who has chased your boyfriend for more than a year and still looks good, even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, it's not normal to have no sense of crisis, okay?
Yan Yizhou came back quickly, and came in in less than 3 minutes.
He walked to the sofa in the rest area, sat next to Shi Ning, and opened the insulation box she brought.
Qi Heng and Xiao You had voluntarily withdrawn a long time ago. Shi Ning looked at his movements with anticipation and trepidation. After he tasted it, he quickly asked, "How does it taste?"
He looked at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Want to know?"
Shi Ning nodded.
He said: "Very well, it was unexpected."
Shi Ning immediately answered: "Of course, this is the only way to cook such a pot after failing three times. I have tried all of them."
Yan Yizhou laughed, and rubbed the hair on the back of her head with his backhand.
Shi Ning felt that it was not in vain to get such a pot of soup after almost blowing up the kitchen again.
Shi Ning sat on the sofa without moving, and said calmly, "The girl just now, Julian, is pretty, right?"
She didn't look up, and she didn't notice Yan Yizhou's hand movements slightly paused.
All he could hear was a calm "hmm".
Shi Ning: "..." Hmm what?
She tilted her head to look at him, and he was drinking his soup calmly as always.
Shi Ning gritted her teeth: "Is it delicious?"
"Well, it's delicious."
Shi Ning continued: "I'm quite virtuous, right? Look, I can even make soup."
Yan Yizhou's expression remained unchanged: "There is still room for improvement."
Shi Ning stood up from the sofa, snatched the insulation box from his hand, knocked it lightly on the table in front of him, looked down at him, and said speechlessly: "There will be no room for improvement. Do it yourself next time!"
She knew that Yan Yizhou did it on purpose.
There is a woman who has been chasing him for so long, and he still says that she is good-looking?
After all, even if the two kissed last time, he never personally said that he would remove the two words before "fake boyfriend and girlfriend".At first, she thought that she was already cooking soup, and when the time was right, it would be okay to pierce the window paper by herself.
Now, she will never be the one who speaks first!
The Shi family's baby, Pidao, still has some confidence. Besides, she is a girl, so she is hypocritical.
Seeing Shi Ning leave, Yan Yizhou smiled and shook his head.A voice watching the show just came from behind: "Some people are careful about their wives for a while, and chase their wives to the crematorium."
Yan Yizhou turned around and said to the few people who were acting stupid behind him: "Next time, tell Shi Ning some nonsense, and all wages will be deducted."
Qi Heng raised his hand: "Hey, this is not nonsense, we will report it truthfully."
Xiaoyou: "There's nothing wrong with that. Making my sister-in-law feel a little bit of a crisis will help strengthen the relationship between you."
Yan Yizhou picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it over, then said coldly, "The conference room will have a meeting in 10 minutes."
"A meeting again?" Qi Heng stood up, walked around the sofa, put his arm on Yan Yizhou's shoulder and said in a low voice, "What does that woman mean by coming here today? She doesn't really intend to cooperate with us, does she?"
Yan Yizhou's expression remained unchanged: "I don't agree."
Qi Heng nodded: "You're right, I've inquired about the software development team she's in now, and a few people's resumes are not very clean. Asking Julian to lobby you is obviously because of the fact that the two of you know each other Friendship, with her, this matter may be difficult."
Yan Yizhou waved his hand away, and glanced over: "Since you all know it, are you talking nonsense?"
"Where are you talking nonsense? Don't you have fun yourself? Besides, it's a fact that Julian is chasing you? If you didn't understand the style at the beginning, I would have wondered if there was something wrong with you."
