stray

Chapter 7

After giving this stern warning, He Nian finally calmed down.

Yan Ruizhi turned over.He has always fallen asleep very slowly and lightly. Thinking about it carefully, the most sound sleep in recent times was the night after drinking that glass of wine.

Just now, it was basically New Year's chat, but now that he calmed down, Yan Ruizhi closed his eyes, but he couldn't help recalling some vague past events.

After waiting for a long time, he heard a very light breathing sound not far away.

It's kind of amazing.Yan Rui thought.

It was already unexpected to meet He Nian again, and what was even more surprising was that the other party was still lying in the same room as him.

It is a strange experience to breathe with one more person beside you while sleeping. Yan Ruizhi originally thought that it would be difficult to fall asleep in the second half of the night, but he did not expect sleepiness to come up unconsciously.

And he hadn't had a dream for a long time.

Yan Ruizhi was woken up by the biological clock on time the next day.

When he just opened his eyes and sat up, he hadn't realized it yet, but his sense of smell was more sensitive, and he smelled a bit of the aroma of food.

However, before he could see what was on the table, he heard a vigorous call called Zao.

"Mr. Yan!" He Nian's voice was not loud, but energetic.

"..."

Yan Ruizhi's first thought when he woke up - his brain might have been kicked by a donkey last night.

He didn't even throw out the New Year in the end.

He didn't wake up, but He Nian had the standard demeanor of a contemporary outstanding college student, which made Yan Ruizhi lazy when he just woke up.

"There were too many people at the breakfast counter, so I just brought some." He Nian changed into a gray-blue cotton and linen T-shirt, and he was so fresh that he could smell the morning sun. "See if you like it." .”

"I am already very grateful that you are willing to take me in for one night. I know that you will definitely not accept my money, so I just want to do something for you." Every time I say these words in the New Year, I am very sincere, which makes people even I can't even get angry.

Yan Ruizhi pinched his eyebrows.

That's right, in the economic situation like New Year's Eve, you have to share the room bill with someone who has a one-night stand, and you have to fight to pay for the meal, and your self-esteem is higher than the sky, which is also reasonable.

He looked aside, and there was indeed breakfast on the table, everything was clean and packed in lunch boxes, including the most standard soy milk fritters, as well as refreshments provided by the hotel, freshly baked toast, sun-dried eggs, and raw boiled fish The porridge was steaming, and even the chopped shallots were placed in a small plate, for fear of misremembering the taboo.

He Nian is careful enough in this respect.

It can be seen that he is a well-educated person.

But if the family conditions are good, how can...

Yan Ruizhi interrupted the speculation, got up and got out of bed to wash, and said "no need to buy any more".

A quarter of an hour later, Yan Ruizhi sat at the table drinking porridge slowly, looked at the person listening to the English broadcast, and after enjoying the breakfast he bought, he simply and coldly issued an order to evict the guest: "You should go to work part-time in the hotel."

There was a bit of regret in He Nian's expression: "I asked when I went down, they don't hire temporary employees for half a day."

Yan Ruizhi didn't express any opinion, and continued to eat breakfast quietly.

"Mr. Yan," He Nian stood in front of him, "I'm going to find Mr. Zhao first."

"You don't need to report to me." Yan Ruizhi said.

This time, when the New Year greetings are good, I will accept it, and stand up with a "hey".

He just stopped at the door and turned around: "Yan——"

As soon as he said a word, Yan Ruizhi raised his eyelids and glanced at him unkindly.

He Nian finally came to his senses, left without a word, and closed the door for Yan Ruizhi.

The room suddenly returned to tranquility, Yan Ruizhi's brows relaxed, and he raised his cup and took a sip of tea.

There is plenty of time today, so he will finish the necessary work online first.

When the things in hand are basically resolved, the time is only 10:30.

The climate in Yunlin City is much better than that in Anjing, and it is sunny and pleasant now.

The phone vibrated, and Hao Shuai sent a message.

[Hao Shuai: My good brother! 】

[Hao Shuai: Xiaoyou said that you have nothing to do today on the plane in the afternoon, can you go to Zhongxin Street and bring me two boxes of special products? 】

【Sharpness: Online shopping by yourself】

[Hao Shuai: If you’ve been there, just drop by, and I’ve checked that there’s a very famous century-old Cantonese restaurant there. Don’t think there are chains all over the street, but I assure you, only Yunlin City The main store is the most authentic! 】

[Hao Shuai: You can buy me two boxes when you go.Brothers! 】

[Sharpness: I don't want to line up. 】

This time Hao Shuai took a while to reply, and he probably couldn't find a reason.

[Hao Shuai: It’s rare for you to go out for a trip. The weather in Yunlin is good. Let’s take a walk when you’re free. Just find some new inspiration. 】

Yan Ruizhi didn't continue to return.

It's just that before he put down his phone, a message from another person also came over.

[Reasonable: Mr. Yan, do you want to have dinner together at noon? 】

[Reasonable: This store is a century-old brand, and it takes a long time to queue up even at noon! 】

Seeing that line of writing, Yan Ruizhi began to think about why he didn't delete He Nian after paying off the money.

In fact, Greeting the New Year is not bad, with a good personality and ability, except that he talks too much and is annoying...

But before he could figure out the answer, an outstanding contemporary college student with strong self-esteem and a passion for reasoning sent another message.

It is a picture of waiting seats, which shows that there are 125 tables ahead.

[Reasonable: [picture]]

[Reasonable: But Mr. Yan, I'm already in line. 】

[Reasonable: Intangible cultural heritage, don't you really try? 】

Yan Ruizhi pursed his lips and put the phone on the table indifferently.

[Reasonable: Come here! 】

It turns out that a person's head can be kicked by a donkey twice in one day.

Yan Ruizhi commented on himself like this when he asked the hotel to drive him to the center street.

The door of this store is actually not big, but there are endless diners, and the queue is crowded. Yan Ruizhi frowned when he saw this scene.

He was about to turn around and leave, but it was too late.

He was lightly patted on the shoulder, and He Nian's face came in, eyes full of surprise: "Mr. Yan, you are really here."

Yan Ruizhi didn't know where his awkwardness came from, so he didn't nod and didn't go in: "I'm here to buy some special products for my friends."

This sentence is not a lie.

"Is it the one next door?" Unexpectedly, He Nian also carried a bag, "I heard that this one is very famous, so I just bought some when I was queuing."

After all, hand over what is in your hand.

"It's just time for me to go in together?" He Nian's tone was natural, and Yan Ruizhi was holding the things that Yan Ruizhi originally wanted to buy for Hao Shuai, and there was no other reason.

He stood where he was, watching the crowd behind him still waiting in line to eat, and finally accepted the favor.

Seeing that he agreed, He Nian immediately led him to the shop. The decoration of the shop this time is much better than the Cantonese cuisine he chose randomly last time.

As soon as the two of them sat down, He Nian raised his hand and said in Cantonese, "Young boy, I'm placing an order!"

Yan Ruizhi has never seen him speak Cantonese. In the past, he used to speak standard Mandarin when celebrating the New Year, but now he has suddenly changed his pronunciation, which makes him feel more youthful. It sounds nice and has a different kind of fireworks.

Probably because of the previous experience, the ordering efficiency is higher this time.

I have to say that this store does have the capital to make people queue up, and Yan Ruizhi's appetite finally improved.

He Nian watched his words and expressions, and ordered another stomach-warming soup.

In fact, Yan Ruizhi asked himself that getting along with He Nian was not uncomfortable, but the reason for the time between the two of them was that he always wanted to keep some distance.

"You don't need to be so careful about everything." Yan Ruizhi naturally noticed it, and said flatly.

There is no need for the other party to treat yourself to a meal because of gratitude, and to come early and queue up.

But Yan Ruizhi didn't say anything about the rest.

"I don't mean anything else." He Nian replied quickly, "It is rare to meet you here, doesn't it mean that I am destined to be with you?"

Yan Ruizhi took a bite of the shrimp dumpling politely, he didn't agree, but he didn't refute either.

In a way, it's kind of miraculous to keep seeing each other like this.

"What time is the flight?" Thinking of what he said in the New Year last night, Yan Ruizhi thought about it, and asked, "I called a car, and if the time is close, we can go together."

When He Nian talked about a flight, Yan Ruizhi paused for a while.

But he quickly recovered: "Coincidentally, me too. Do you have anything to bring, let's go there together later."

He Nian was overjoyed, and immediately said: "No, it's all on me!"

He still wanted to say something to express his gratitude, but Yan Ruizhi raised his eyelids and looked at him in silence, the meaning was self-evident - let's go by himself.

The reasoning classmate had nowhere to vent his enthusiasm stuck in his throat: "...Oh."

Seeing He Nian's depressed look, Yan Ruizhi suddenly found it interesting, and added, "You're welcome."

He Nian didn't expect Yan Ruizhi to suddenly look pleasant, he didn't speak, but blinked.

After dinner, Yan Ruizhi's reserved car will arrive in 10 minutes.

It was not convenient to park here, so the two walked along the street to a wide area.

I can feel that Lunar New Year is in a good mood today. When I checked out, I saw a white Samoyed with a rope on the side of the road, and walked over to tease it twice.

Summer has a good temper, smiles cutely, and stretches out a front paw to say hello to New Year.

He Nian teased for a while, seeing the dog's owner still watching, he boasted, "That paparazzi is so proud!"

Yan Ruizhi doesn't understand Cantonese very well, but he can probably hear that he is praising the dog for being cute.

The other party chatted briefly with the dog owner, and stroked Samo's head to say goodbye to it.

Samo was all white, and sat obediently. When He Nian put his hand on its head, it flicked its tail left and right for a while.

"Let's go, Mr. Yan." He Nian clapped his hands and stood up, then turned to Yan Ruizhi and said, "I also have a Satsuma, and I couldn't help it when I saw it."

Probably because the appearance of teasing a dog during the New Year greetings just now was too vivid, Yan Ruizhi asked one more question: "Is that your avatar?"

"Yes, it's called Xiao Wangcai," said He Nian, "now I'm raising it for my mother."

"It's just that I don't see my mother often now, so I haven't seen Xiao Wangcai for a long time."

"Ah."

Yan Ruizhi was well versed in basic social etiquette and didn't ask much else.

After He Nian finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, stopped talking, and walked in front of Yan Rui.

Mentioning the past didn't seem to make him feel down. As he walked, he hummed a Cantonese song with a familiar melody in a low voice.

"I want to meet him every minute, and I ran into Yile on the road for a few days..."

He sings Cantonese very well, and his different pronunciation makes his voice even deeper, but he sings the tune very cheerfully, and it sounds casual and indifferent.

The New Year is very tall, with an invisible light that only people of his age can have. The spring breeze blows over the soft cotton and linen T-shirt, making a hunting sound, which is mixed in the short last sentence of the lyrics.

"A light feeling floating above—"

Probably after receiving two warnings, He Nian behaved quietly after getting into the car, and he really didn't talk to Yan Ruizhi.

Yan Ruizhi was very satisfied with this way of getting along, and when he got off the car, his expression seemed a little gentler.

He saw He Nian frowning and looking at the notice board in the hall, and asked kindly, "Didn't you go with Mr. Zhao and the others?"

"I thought about it too, but I have a tutor in the evening and I have to go to class tomorrow, so Mr. Zhao's secretary helped me book tickets yesterday."

"Yeah." Yan Ruizhi responded, and walked to the first-class check-in counter, "See you on the plane."

The VIP procedure was done quickly and effortlessly. Yan Ruizhi sat in the exclusive lounge to read the documents and waited for the security check to board the plane.

In the end, I didn't look for long, and felt movement around me. As soon as I looked up, I saw the person who was still checking in at the moment standing in front of me.

Somewhat outrageous.

But He Nian looked surprised and surprised: "Mr. Yan."

"Jingxing doesn't even cover your accommodation," Yan Ruizhi frowned, "Why did you buy a first-class air ticket instead?"

"No," He Nian seemed to be in a dream, "When I checked in just now, the ground staff said that because the economy class was oversold and my check-in was full, they gave me an upgrade."

Yan Ruizhi looked at him.

"Really, Mr. Yan," He Nian handed Yan Ruizhi the original flight information, "I don't know why I'm so lucky!"

Yan Ruizhi glanced at it, and it was true that the seat at the beginning was economy class.

He Nian was still very excited: "Then can I go to the security check first?"

He looked like he had never been in a VIP lounge before.

Fortunately, his voice was low, Yan Ruizhi withdrew his probing eyes: "...No need. Just wait for someone to come and call."

Holding the boarding pass in his hand, He Nian said "Oh", probably not reacting to this kind of cheapness, he nodded awkwardly, and then sat down.

Indeed, Yan Ruizhi remembered how he almost went to sleep in a youth hostel yesterday during the New Year's Eve, and thought that Jingxing was really weird in this regard.

Thinking of this, he asked He Nian: "Why did you choose Beijing Bank as an intern?"

"Ah?" He Nian didn't expect Yan Ruizhi to ask this suddenly, he paused before saying, "There was one time..."

He started by submitting his resume, and Yan Ruizhi probably understood half of it, so he didn't let him finish.

Just now, he wanted to say for a moment, "We also have projects for what Jingxing is doing now", but he took it back in time when the words came to his lips.

A man's head cannot be kicked by a donkey three times a day.

But if He Nian does have that ability, it's not impossible if he really has other ideas when he gets out of Beijing.

Yan Ruizhi thought of the question about the future that He Nian asked last night, and suddenly thought so.

After a while, a staff member came to take them to the security check. Although He Nian looked calm, Yan Ruizhi looked at his back and felt that he was a little nervous.

Everything went well, and the positions of the two of them happened to be connected. He Nian seemed to be relieved before sitting down.

Because not long after eating, both of them refused the meal. The flight was not too long, and Yan Ruizhi didn't pay much attention to the New Year's greetings after boarding the plane, and began to plan the work after landing.

After a while, the flight attendant came to their row, and as soon as Yan Ruizhi looked up, he saw the flight attendant politely addressing the person beside him, and seemed to be holding a souvenir in his hand: "Hello, sir, you are our airline. As a distinguished member, your mileage has been accumulated this time, and this is a small gift for you on this flight, I hope you will support us a lot in the future..."

He Nian's face changed again and again, and he said in surprise: "I, I don't seem to have done it before."

Yan Ruizhi heard their conversation and looked over.

The flight attendant smiled and continued, "Maybe it took you a long time to check in, but you are indeed our member."

He Nian took over the souvenir from the other party, but his expression was both nervous and puzzled: "But I'm really not..."

When the flight attendant left, Yan Ruizhi hadn't spoken yet, and He Nian came over and asked, "Mr. Yan—"

"You became a member yourself, ask me how I know." There was no emotion in Yan Ruizhi's voice.

He Nian was even more anxious than him: "I, I just remember—"

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped, and suddenly realized: "I seem to have done it several years ago."

His voice dropped suddenly: "It was still when I was with my mother."

Yan Ruizhi didn't intend to listen, but just turned his head, and saw He Nian's head drooping, a little depressed.

He looked away: "Yes."

He Nian also stopped talking, and silence returned between the two of them.

Yan Ruizhi didn't take this matter to heart, and continued to turn his gaze back to the computer screen.

Halfway through the itinerary, when he put away his notebook, he felt that the next door was too quiet, so he subconsciously turned his head to glance.

He Nian had already fallen asleep, but his posture looked a bit awkward, his body was still sitting, his head resting on the pillow and tilted to one side, his long legs had nowhere to rest, so he could only bend sloppily.

Originally, the seats here could be adjusted to become a simple soft bed, but He Nian didn't seem to know the button, so he fell asleep just like that.

He didn't even adjust the seat, Yan Ruizhi looked at it for a while, and remembered how surprised He Nian was when he heard that he was a member just now.

There is also the white Samoyed that I saw in the afternoon, and He Nian's hesitant "I gave it to my mother".

That's right, He Nian's upbringing and personality are excellent, and he has raised large dogs before.

Maybe He Nian used to be carefree, maybe something happened that made him live in embarrassment now.

After all, they haven't met much, and there are still many stories about He Nian that he doesn't know.

Yan Ruizhi looked away.

Suddenly, I felt that the abnormal emotions I felt just now were really unnecessary.

He reached out and patted each other.

He Nianfan opened his eyes in bewilderment, and followed Yan Ruizhi's hand to see the adjustment button, but he still didn't seem to react: "What's wrong, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Ruizhi didn't speak, and simply found the function key for him, the foot support at the bottom slowly rose, and finally He Nian's two legs no longer had to curl up in aggrieved way.

He Nian seemed embarrassed: "I don't even know."

Then he said, "Thank you, Mr. Yan."

"Need not."

The two of them didn't mention what happened just now, probably because they were finally able to lie down properly, and the New Year's mood returned to normal.

It was still dark when he landed, so he didn't invite him to dinner this time for New Year's greetings.

Liang Xiaoyou called the driver to pick him up, while He Nian walked towards the airport bus: "Mr. Yan, I'm busy with tutoring, thank you for yesterday and today."

Yan Ruizhi wanted to stop him and ask him if he wanted to take his own car, but He Nian seemed in a hurry, so he took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"By the way, Mr. Yan." He Nian was about to run to the station, but suddenly stopped when he thought of something.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, his hair was soft and tied obediently, looking fluffy under the sunset.

Yan Ruizhi looked at him: "Yes."

He Nian seemed to know what he was thinking, he said with a smile: "Then you see my performance today is not bad..."

"Don't delete my contact information, okay?"
