It was already half a month later, and there were only a few days left until her exam.
As soon as she got off work, Shu Nian took the subway home with a book in her arms. She spent the time on the subway reading.
When I got home, it was already getting dark. In the neighborhood, the smell of dinner wafted from every household.
Shu Nian walked towards home, took the key and opened the door. As soon as he stepped in, he heard a familiar voice coming from the door.
"Aunt Gui, please check quickly. Is it clear?"
Shu Nian felt like he was hallucinating. Wasn't that Ye Yan's voice? How could he appear in his own home
Then there was the sound of water splashing. Aunt Gui smiled happily, "It's not blocked! It's not blocked! As expected, people who rely on outsiders are unreliable! Young people nowadays are smart and can handle anything!"
Ye Yan smiled proudly, "In the future, if something like this happens again, just call me. I will definitely be there whenever you call!"
"How can I trouble you with such a small matter? Are you busy on weekdays?"
"Not busy. Very free!"
Shu Nian listened to their conversation, put down the book in his hand, and immediately went into the kitchen.
As expected, Ye Yan was huddled in the small kitchen. He was wearing a grey casual pullover with his sleeves rolled up, revealing most of his strong, white arms. He was already outstanding in temperament, and it was totally out of place to be squeezed into such a small kitchen. Moreover, his hands were obviously dirty because he had just unblocked the water pipes.
There was no sign of disgust or impatience on his face. Instead, he kept smiling while talking to Aunt Gui.
"Hey, Niannian is back!" Aunt Gui saw Shu Nian at the door first and spoke up.
"Yeah." Shu Nian responded, looking at Ye Yan with some surprise, "Why are you here?"
Besides, when did he come back? Wasn't he on a business trip
"You look like you're not welcoming me?" Ye Yan raised his dirty hands in front of her and lowered his voice, "How dare you not answer my call? It's only been a few days. Who gave you such a hard wing?"
Shu Nian dodged his dirty hands, "Go wash it quickly, it stinks."
Ye Yan sniffed it himself and his face turned pale, then he rushed to wash. Shu Nian filled another basin with water, placed it on the shelf, and looked at Ye Yan with complicated eyes.
How did he get here
Does father know
Will it...
Shu Nian was worried and looked at Aunt Gui, "Aunt Gui, why is he here?"
"I met him in the supermarket. I was there to buy things, but I was having trouble carrying so much stuff, and then I met him. The young man was enthusiastic and strong, which was great."
Aunt Gui has been full of praise.
Shu Nian was worried.
At this moment, Ye Yan came over after washing his hands. Shu Nian handed him a piece of soap and said, "Wash your hands carefully again. I'll get you a towel."
"Yeah." Ye Yan put his hands in the basin and washed them carefully with soap, but his eyes followed Shu Nian's figure as he walked out. Aunt Gui was preparing to cook, and she didn't look at them much, she just regarded them as friends.
——
Shu Nian walked out of the kitchen and saw Shu Dafu sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Dad." Shu Nian went over and called, "Are you hungry? Aunt Gui is cooking. I'll feed you in a while."
Shu Dafu blinked, indicating that he understood. After a while, he raised his hands and waved them around, speaking to her in a mumbling voice. Shu Nian squatted down, "Dad, I haven't lived with you for long, and you're sending me away? Don't worry, I will go back. Don't worry about me. Your health is more important than anything else."
Shudafu hummed a few more times.
Shu Nian nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll move back in two days. Are you relieved now?"
After Shu Nian finished speaking, she felt a burning gaze coming towards her. She subconsciously looked over and saw Ye Yan looking at her with a complex look in his eyes, as if he was hiding many emotions, but also a bit cool.
Shu Nian didn't say anything, avoided his sight, took a towel from his room, and walked towards him.
Ye Yan lowered his head and looked at the towel, "Yours?"
"… Um."
"Has anyone else used it?" For example, that guy Xiang Muyang!
"have."
Ye Yan was about to throw the towel back, but Shu Nian said, "I used it to wipe my dad's hands. If you want to dislike it, forget it. We don't have new towels at home right now."
As she spoke, she was about to take the towel away. Ye Yan dodged her hand and wiped it carefully again and again, "Who said I disliked it?"
Shu Nian didn't say anything. Ye Yan looked at her seriously and asked in a low voice, "Are you moving away?"
"Um."
"I won't allow it."
Shu Nian glanced at him, and the tyranny in his eyes was clearly revealed.
Shu Nian took the towel back and said, "Master Ye, this house belongs to my father. He won't let me live here. If you are not sure, go and tell him if you are afraid."
Ye Yan's face was very ugly, and he gritted his teeth, "Do you still want to move back to the Xiang family and be bullied by that scum?"
"Then what else can we do?"
"Live at my place." Ye Yan didn't even think twice. "You have the key to my house. It has everything you need. Just live there."
The tone was firm, obviously not a negotiating tone.
Shu Nian looked at Ye Yan, and a complex emotion flashed through her heart. She thought she was going to become a homeless wanderer again, but at this moment, she realized that it was not the case. At least, there was still someone who was willing to take her in.
Although…
She couldn't live there.
"Shu Nian, please let Ye Yan stay here for dinner." Aunt Gui's voice came from the kitchen.
Shu Nian was afraid that his father would notice something, so of course he didn't dare to keep Ye Yan. He just said loudly, "Ye Yan said he is very busy and doesn't want to eat anymore."
Ye Yan gritted his teeth, "Who's busy?"
I have been busy for half a month, and I am still busy. I am almost vomiting blood! I haven't even slept well in the past half month!
As soon as Shu Nian finished speaking, he heard Shu Dafu babbling. Raise your hand.
Before Shu Nian could reply, Ye Yan walked over with a smile, "Uncle, you want me to stay for dinner, right? Okay, I'm not busy. Okay, okay, I will definitely stay and try Aunt Gui's cooking."
Shu Nian was greatly surprised.
She didn't expect Ye Yan to be able to understand what his father said. She and Aunt Gui were used to it and had practiced it, but how long had Ye Yan been here
Aunt Gui came out of the kitchen at this moment and said to Ye Yan, "Don't leave. No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. I have already cooked for you."
Ye Yan raised an eyebrow at Shu Nian, and then continued with a clear voice, "I won't leave, Aunt Gui, I will listen to you and uncle."
Shu Nian has a headache.
—
Shu Nian went to the kitchen to help Aunt Gui, leaving Ye Yan and Shu's father outside.
Shu Nian was afraid that Ye Yan would be bored, so he would occasionally look out. Unexpectedly, Ye Yan stayed very peacefully in the hall.
He sat next to Shudafu and occasionally gave him water. He was very patient and never annoyed.
