When eating, Gu Miaoyan didn't talk about business, Chi Nuan was under invisible pressure, and his stomach was aching.
After the meal, Gu Miaoyan pulled Chi Nuan and sat on the sofa to drink tea to relieve her tiredness, and called her by her name intimately and familiarly: "Chi Nuan..."
Chi Nuan sat upright: "Yes."
Gu Miaoyan was amused by her restrained appearance, and reached out and patted her knee: "Relax, I am Aning's sister, not anyone else."
There's nothing wrong with what she said, but Chi Nuan couldn't control her nervousness. She lowered her eyes and said obediently, "Okay..."
Gu Miaoyan said: "You look like this, reminds me of my friend... She is as quiet and quiet as you, and she is especially shy. Although we don't see many of us moving overseas now, but when we talk about it, any important event will be dismissed. We leave it aside, no exaggeration! My husband is often jealous and jokes that she and I are a couple."
Gu Miaoyan's smile was naturally revealed, and she couldn't hide it: "The friendship during my student days is really pure and warm... isn't it?"
Chi Nuan's heart "squeaked", and she forced a smile to face it.
"By the way, I went to your school this morning to learn about Aning's situation, and I also asked Mr. He about you by the way." Gu Miaoyan said.
Chi Nuan: "... me?"
"You don't know, when Teacher He said Aning, she was still straight and upright. When I mentioned you, her expression immediately became vivid, saying that you were the most obedient and the most well-behaved among all the students she brought. The one to worry about. Chi Nuan, I'll be honest with you. In fact, I saw you last night, and I was a little worried. I'm afraid you're not a good girl, and I'm afraid that you will lead Aning down a bad path... This is probably all parents. Common problem? - Chi Nuan, don't take it offense, forgive me for my random speculation... In short, today, after Teacher He said it, I feel at ease."
No one wants friends with bad behavior around their relatives. Gu Miaoyan's words and practices are not difficult to understand. At the same time, Chi Nuan did not doubt that if Gu Miaoyan knew that she was a "bad girl who would lead Gu Ningzi down a bad road", she would definitely persuade Gu Ningzi to stay away from herself.
- What is the definition of a bad road? Are they in love
Chi Nuan wondered if Gu Miaoyan was hinting, and her heart became heavier.
Gu Miaoyan took a sip of tea, and the smile on her charming face gradually disappeared. The long scattered hair was pushed behind her ears by her, she looked directly into Chi Nuan's eyes and said sternly: "Chi Nuan, you may think that it's a little too much for me to ask the teacher about you, and I'm a little disrespectful to you. But, I have The reason... You may not know, in fact, An Ning has no friends since she was a child. A spoon is counted as one, but the Tang family has a relationship with our family. They have been playing together since they were born, so they cannot be counted; and you, you are Aning. The first one willing to introduce myself to a friend I know."
Then Gu Miaoyan took the initiative to tell Chi Nuan an old incident that happened when Gu Ningzi was young.
"That day, Spoon went to kindergarten with a very delicate butterfly hairpin. A naughty child in the class hid her hairpin secretly while taking a nap. After Spoon woke up, she couldn't find the hairpin anywhere, and she was crying. Out of breath. It was Aning who walked up to the child who secretly issued the card and stretched out his hand to ask him for it. The child refused to admit it and pushed Aning, and Aning started with him. The teachers finally twisted it together. They pulled away, and An Ning's face was marked with three long marks by the kid's fingernails."
"This was originally just a conflict between children, and my family didn't take it to heart. But the parent of that child heard about my family from the teacher... The mental pressure of adults directly affected the children, and finally developed to all kindergarten children, except for spoons. , no one wants to play with Aning."
"You can't touch her, you can't provoke her, otherwise the consequences will be serious! - Then don't play with her!"
"An Ning, who used to be obediently waiting for her aunt to send her to kindergarten, gradually became reluctant to go to school. It wasn't until she transferred to an ordinary kindergarten that the situation got better. ... But what is distressing is that she never From that time onwards, the interpersonal relationship was very problematic…”
When Gu Miaoyan said this, a deep pain flashed in her eyes, and she stopped for a while before continuing: "Six years ago, when my mother passed away, this incident has particularly stimulated Aning. She was taciturn. After that, it became more withdrawn... At its worst, it even had to rely on drugs to maintain it.”
After Chi Nuan listened carefully to Gu Miaoyan for such a long period, she didn't return to her senses for a long time.
"Dad has high hopes for Aning, but because of the death of his mother, Aning has a strong resistance to his father. Chi Nuan, I know that when you were very young, your parents were gone. You must be more than anyone else. Everyone understands the value of family better. Aning is very sensitive, and it is too difficult for her to open her heart! Since she recognizes you as her friend, you must have a special weight in her heart. Can my sister ask you for help? When you have the right opportunity, please help me to persuade Aning not to confront her father, okay?"
Gu Miaoyan shook Chi Nuan's hand with a sincere face.
Chi Nuan was moved by the affection between Gu Miaoyan's words, and her love affair with Gu Ningzi made her feel a strong sense of guilt when she faced Gu Miaoyan's sincere eyes. If this matter is known to their family, Gu Ningzi and her father, their conflict will only intensify, right
"I... I may not have such a heavy weight... What can I do?" Chi Nuan fidgeted and spoke.
Gu Miaoyan said, "Chi Nuan, I believe you, try it, okay?"
Chi Nuan lowered her head and clenched her fingers. Gu Miaoyan's trust is a kind of torture to her.
The chat was almost over, the two came out of the box, and the waiter who was standing outside led them out. Gu Miaoyan said to pay the bill, and the waiter looked at them curiously and said, "Just now, a customer settled your table as well. already."
Gu Miaoyan's smile faded slightly: "Oh? Who is it?"
"Mr. Han from Carrying Spring Mining." The waiter said, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at Gu Miaoyan to the middle-aged man pacing around the corner in front.
Gu Miaoyan didn't say anything, she turned around and held Chi Nuan: "Chi Nuan, let's go."
Chi Nuan saw that Mr. Han was coming to greet him, and Gu Miaoyan said carefully and cautiously, "Miss Gu, take the liberty of not knowing that you are in the cloud..."
Gu Miaoyan nodded slightly and passed by him directly.
Chi Nuan followed Gu Miaoyan, turned around, and saw that Mr. Han was standing there with a panicked expression.
The two got into the car, Gu Miaoyan sat in the back seat, and didn't say where to go, her eyes were flat, and she stared at the rearview mirror in front.
Eerily quiet.
"...I was confused for a while, Miss, give me another chance." The driver wiped his hands on his knees, all sweaty.
"Spit out everything that was eaten." Gu Miaoyan raised her red lips slightly and said, "Drive."
Chi Nuan didn't dare to make a sound the whole time. She clearly realized that if it wasn't for Gu Ningzi, Gu Miaoyan's gaze on her wouldn't last longer than a second.
When the two separated, Gu Miaoyan pulled Chi Nuan and instructed: "What practical difficulties do you have in the future, whether in study, work or at home, don't have any ideological burden, contact Secretary Su directly, I have already informed I will try my best to help you solve it within the scope of my ability.”
The driver turned his back to them and kept raising his hands to wipe the sweat.
Chi Nuan was overwhelmed by Gu Miaoyan's heavy concern. It was like a huge hand was constantly pushing her in one direction. Even if she was reluctant, she could only stumble and walk over involuntarily.
…
Chi Nuan peeled off a grain of sugar outside the bedroom door and put it in his mouth, then gently opened and closed the door. Xu Dan and the others were taking a nap, and she also lay down on the bed.
The bed was like cotton soaked in water, taking her and sinking to the bottom of the water.
There are unread messages of Gu Ningzi on the phone, so Chi Nuan will tell her sooner or later when she is done.
Chi Nuan's mind was in a mess, thinking for a moment, should this love end? Or ignore it, follow your heart and stay with Gu Ningzi? ... How long will Gu Ningzi like her? Could it be that they broke up because of a broken relationship without waiting for her family conflict to arise? ... If so, isn't the torment in the heart at this moment superfluous and ridiculous
…
The chocolate candy slowly melted away. Chi Nuan thought about it a lot, and then the alarm clock rang, and one after another, the roommates all got up to go to the afternoon class.
Chi Nuan stood in front of the pool and splashed water on his face, and took a long time to come out.
I collided with Xu Dan.
"Your eyes are so red?" Xu Dan asked her.
Chi Nuan said, "It's okay, the water got into my eyes."
Going to the classroom, class is about to start, Gu Ningzi wants to talk to Chi Nuan. Chi Nuan pointed to the podium, He Liwen had arrived.
Gu Ningzi asked her quietly, "Didn't you receive my message?"
Chi Nuan said, "Gu Ningzi, let's talk about it later, let's go to class first."
Speaking of class, Chi Nuan was distracted the whole time. He pulled his attention back several times, and ran away after a few minutes.
She looked back at Gu Ningzi, and Gu Ningzi was also looking in the direction she was in, her eyes were careful, wronged, and dazed.
When Gu Ningzi was not in front of her eyes, Chi Nuan seemed to have a kind of blind courage, thinking that she could make any decision; but once she met her gaze, she was immediately beaten back to her original shape, and her heart softened instantly. I couldn't help but reflect, I was too selfish, thinking about my own thoughts from beginning to end, did you even care about Gu Ningzi's feelings for a second
Chi Nuan sent a message to Gu Ningzi: "I'll go home with you for dinner."
Gu Ningzi almost replied in seconds: "Okay."
I never felt that the afternoon was so long, and finally persisted until after school, Chi Nuan and Gu Ningzi went home together.
Chi Nuan knelt on the carpet to touch the cat, and while Gu Ningzi went to the room, Secretary Su who came to deliver the meal gave Chi Nuan his business card: "Did Aning's sister tell you?"
On the business card is Secretary Su's name and her contact information, and there is no other information.
There is no need to embarrass Secretary Su, Chi Nuan raised her hand to take it, and thanked her: "Thank you."
Secretary Su said, "It's nothing, just contact me if you need it."
Gu Ningzi came out of the room, Chi Nuan stuffed the business card into his pocket, Secretary Su said, "A Ning, I'm leaving", and opened the door to go out.
Gu Ningzi came over and stood behind Chi Nuan. Their figures were printed in the blue cat's pupils. Gu Ningzi raised her hand to land on Chi Nuan's shoulder, but finally she took it back: "... Chi Nuan, let's eat first."
Chi Nuan proposed to eat steamed fish yesterday. Although she didn't come at noon, she still prepared this dish at night. There were very few steamed fish bones, and the meat was tender. Gu Ningzi asked Chi Nuan to eat more, but the dishes at noon were still stuck in the stomach and difficult to digest, so Chi Nuan stopped chopsticks before eating much.
Gu Ningzi pushed the bowl and asked Chi Nuan nervously, "Is your stomach still hurting?"
Chi Nuan slowly shook her head, forcing herself to accompany Gu Ningzi to eat for a while, but it was obvious that Gu Ningzi's mood was greatly affected by her, and she lost her appetite.
The two of them left the table tacitly, with Gu Ningzi in front and Chi Nuan bowing her head in the back. While walking, Gu Ningzi suddenly turned around and pulled Chi Nuan into her arms.
They couldn't see each other's faces, Chi Nuan heard Gu Ningzi's voice, with a slight trembling: "Can you promise me first, there are thousands of reasons for you to leave me, but never give up because of my family. I?"
Chi Nuan remembered what Gu Miaoyan told her about the kindergarten child.
How much shadow did this incident have on Gu Ningzi, so that today, after so many years, the first thing she thought of was still this
"Chi Nuan, give me some time. Five years... or ten years, I will work hard, and I will work hard to control the future in my own hands."
Chi Nuan's eyes were moist.
