"Didn't you say you were going to move back? Why didn't you bring anything back today?" Aunt Gui suddenly remembered this and asked Shu Nian.
Shu Nian was stunned for a moment and really didn't know how to answer.
Ye Yan said calmly and generously: "Niannian has to go back to the hospital to work tomorrow. I happen to have an empty house next to the hospital, so let her stay at my place first."
Shu Nian glanced at his father secretly.
Shu Dafu nodded and talked for a while. Ye Yan smiled at Shu Nian, "Uncle agreed."
Shu Nian breathed a sigh of relief. It was unexpected. He didn't expect it to be so smooth.
She also knew that Ye Yan had passed this test. Both his father and Aunt Gui were very satisfied with him.
After dinner, they sat for a while. Before leaving, Shu Nian and Aunt Gui talked in the room.
"Aunt Gui, have there been any guests at home recently?"
"Yes, I have."
Shu Nianxin asked, "Who are they?"
"They are just some neighbors next door. They are worried that your dad is bored, so they come over occasionally to talk to him. What's the matter?" Aunt Gui could tell that Shu Nian must have a reason for asking this.
Shu Nian glanced at Aunt Gui and finally said, "Today, I met my mother downstairs."
"Your mother?" Aunt Gui was very surprised and her voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees.
"Hush." Shu Nian gestured, glanced outside the door, and cautiously stood up to close the door. Aunt Gui lowered her voice, "Is your mother back?"
"I saw that she wanted to come up. But I stopped her downstairs and let her go."
"Oh..." Aunt Gui looked a little disappointed and lost her focus for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, "If your mother can come back, your father will definitely be happy. You will be happy too. The three of you can be together again. From now on, with your mother taking care of your father, you can rest assured while you study abroad."
Aunt Gui said a lot of things by herself.
Shu Nian looked at her for a long time.
Aunt Gui looked at her and then lowered her head again.
Her eyelashes fluttered, hiding the deeper and more complicated emotions in her eyes. However, women understand women's feelings best. Shu Nian had already seen it, and shook Aunt Gui's hand, "If my mother comes back now, my father will definitely not be happy. I can see that he is quite satisfied with the current life. He treats you... In my father's eyes, we are all his relatives."
Aunt Gui didn't say anything and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shu Nian sighed again, "My mother will not come back, she got married."
Aunt Gui was not surprised by this, and did not ask any more questions. After all, these were their family's private affairs.
"Aunt Gui, you must keep an eye on me these days. I'm afraid my mom might come to our house and upset my dad. If anything happens, you must call me right away." Shu Nian didn't know why, but he always felt uneasy.
Aunt Gui nodded, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on you. But you'll be going to study in Country M in the future, so I won't be able to find you even if I want to."
Aunt Gui couldn't help feeling a little sad when she said this.
Shu Nian also felt sad.
"You still have to explain things to Ye Yan. Keeping it to yourself is the worst thing. This kid doesn't care that you're married. Although marriage and divorce are common in today's society, how many men really don't care about this or other people's opinions? Why do you have to hide it from him?"
Shu Nian looked a little disappointed, "… The admission review will only take a few days. I want to wait until the review is over before I explain it to him."
It has been reviewed, so at least there won’t be any more complications.
——
Shu Nian didn't dare to talk to Aunt Gui for too long for fear that his father would get suspicious. When he came out, he saw Ye Yan cutting Shu Dafu's nails.
Shu Nian was slightly stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Aunt Gui. Aunt Gui smiled, "This child, from this point of view, is really much more reliable than Xiang Muyang. You guys, it would be great if you had met him earlier."
Shu Nian felt a little sad.
No matter how early it is, how early will it be
Five years ago, they had already met each other.
Shu Nian suddenly wondered what they were like that night five years ago. If there hadn't been that accident five years ago, would... there never have been a beginning between him and Ye Yan
Shu Nian was lost in thought, his eyes fixed on Ye Yan. He usually looked immature, but now, sitting beside his father, helping him cut his nails, he looked focused and sincere. His movements were also quite skillful. Under the light, he looked more handsome than ever in a black shirt. At least, that was what Shu Nian thought.
Shu Nian's heart was in turmoil. He walked over and looked at the old and young with a smile, "Is your haircut done?"
"Well, that's almost it." Ye Yan nodded.
Aunt Gui followed and said, "I'll do the rest. It's getting dark outside, you should go back early. It might rain heavily tonight."
Ye Yan glanced out the window at the strong wind before handing the nail clippers to Aunt Gui. Shu Nian naturally took his coat in his hand and slung his bag over his shoulder, "Then we'll go."
Shu Dafu nodded, and Aunt Gui pushed him to escort the two out.
Shu Nian and Ye Yan walked out of the house side by side. They looked back at the warm light in the house and the two figures standing under the light, and their hearts ached.
"You guys go in." Shu Nian waved his hand.
Ye Yan looked at her expression several times and didn't say anything.
The two of them arrived at the garage and got in the car. While driving, Ye Yan said casually, "Just now I saw that you looked reluctant."
"… Um."
"I feel like you're going on a long journey at any time."
Shu Nian was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "I didn't expect you could actually cut other people's nails. Just now I saw that you were so skilled, so this shouldn't be your first time. Do you cut your dad's nails at home?"
"My dad?" Ye Yan shook his head. "Do you think someone like my dad would let me cut his nails? Except for my mom, no one dares to wave a sharp weapon in front of him."
Shu Nian sighed, "I can tell your parents have a good relationship. Who do you usually cut your nails for?"
"Who else could it be? The little ancestor of the family. When she was a child, I was the one who made these for her. Fortunately, now that she has grown up, she can do it herself."
"I really envy your family." Shu Nian smiled as he nestled in the passenger seat. "You are very happy, and Ye Lan is also very happy. A harmonious family brings sunshine to the children."
"If you are really envious, I will teach you a method." Ye Yan said mysteriously.
"what way?"
Ye Yan turned his head slightly, slid one hand off the steering wheel, and held her hand, "You have become a member of our Ye family. My parents are your parents. Our harmonious family is also yours. How is it?"
Shu Nian smiled, feeling moved and genuinely looking forward to it.
