Chapter 23 A handsome man like him

It was a hot summer day, but the light from outside could not penetrate into this small piece of land.

The lunch was eaten in unusual silence.

An Yucan kept putting pork liver into An Ning's bowl, but he didn't eat much himself.

An Ning understood that he had a poor appetite recently and it wasn't that he wanted to eat pig liver, but he just wanted her to have it.

In fact, she didn't really want to eat.

She just... wanted to make a request to Li Chunfang, just like other daughters acting coquettishly to their mothers.

However, she didn't get the feedback she wanted.

When An Tianhua walked into the room drunkenly with a bottle of wine, the three people at the table didn't say anything and just ate their meals.

It seemed that everyone was already accustomed to his drunken appearance.

An Tianhua glanced at them, kicked the chair at his feet, and cursed, "Damn it! It's getting so dull every day. Is someone in this family going to die?"

Li Chunfang didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, but this sentence just touched her sore spot.

An Yucan is her life, and she does not allow anyone to mention the word "death" in front of her.

"Bang!" Li Chunfang threw the chopsticks onto the table, his face livid. "Go ahead and die! Die now!"

An Tianhua was drunk and slammed the bottle to the ground. "I won't die! If you want to die, go ahead and die!"

Li Chunfang slammed the table, pointed at An Tianhua and cursed, "Yes, let's die. You'll be happy if the three of us die! Look at you, all you do is drink, and when you're drunk you start looking for trouble. You're not a human being, and your family isn't a home. How can you live like this?"

An Ning and An Yucan continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

After decades of living the same life, I got used to it and became numb.

But I can't help but my hands still shake when I pick up food.

"If you can't survive, don't live!"

An Tianhua picked up a chair and threw it to the ground, "Get the fuck out of here and it will be quiet!"

Li Chunfang stood up, pointed at him, and cried and scolded him with tears and snot.

The food in her mouth had no taste at all. An Ning raised her eyes and saw that the boy opposite her also had tears in his eyes.

She stood up, said nothing, and pushed An Yucan's wheelchair out.

Behind her, she heard Li Chunfang and An Tianhua cursing at each other at the top of their lungs, and she didn't want to listen anymore.

She felt that the "home" without any warmth was like an invisible pair of hands, strangling her throat and making it difficult for her to breathe.

As I walked out of the alley, a ray of sunlight shone on me.

An Yucan suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, "Sister, I don't want to be treated anymore."

When he was nine years old, he was diagnosed with "congenital heart disease". A series of treatment costs and high surgery fees made the already poor family even worse off.

But he, at an age when he should be enjoying his youth, is confined to a wheelchair.

He sat there for eight years.

It was also in that year that An Tianhua began to drink heavily and had a bad temper.

"Don't be silly."

An Ning pulled the corners of her pale mouth and pushed him forward into the bustling street.

"You haven't gone to college yet, you haven't seen the outside world yet, your life has just begun."

"Yuchan, you're going to be fine."

An Ning said this to him and also to herself.

Everything will be fine.

In a lifeless life, there is always light.

The bustling streets were extremely lively. As we were talking, the roar of motorcycles came from far away.

A team of cool motorcycles sped past her, one after another.

An Ning suddenly stopped and looked at the convoy, and subconsciously an extremely handsome man's face appeared in her mind.

Then he shook his head violently again.

They just met by chance and saw each other briefly.

It may be difficult to meet again in this life.

Besides, how could a man as handsome as him walk into her stagnant life again?

The other side.

The speeding motorcycle suddenly stopped at the corner.

The black helmet was taken off his head, revealing a face that was dazzlingly handsome.

Lu Xiyan casually brushed his messy short hair, adding a bit of unrestrained youthfulness to his look.

His deep gaze followed the figure not far away.

The thin girl was pushing a heavy wheelchair, walking up the hill step by step with difficulty.

He looked at it a few more times with interest.

"Mr. Lu, what are you looking at?"

A motorcycle caught up and stopped next to Lu Xiyan's car. Liang Xu followed his gaze and thought he saw someone he knew.

Lu Xiyan didn't answer his question, but turned to ask him, "Liang Xu, have you ever seen someone sell blood because they are short of money?"

Liang Xu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and joked, "Mr. Lu, if you have nothing to do, you should read more social news. There are too many poor people in this world, and many people can't afford to eat. The gap between the rich and the poor in the world is too big. Not everyone is born into the prime of life like you."

Lu Xiyan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then his gaze fell to the place not far away. The figure had already disappeared around the corner.

"Why are you asking this?" Liang Xu asked doubtfully, "Are you starting to care about the lives of ordinary people?"

"nothing."

Lu Xiyan put his helmet back on, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

......

When An Ning pushed An Yucan back home, the house had already been cleaned by Li Chunfang.

So clean as if nothing had happened.

But An Ning knew that there was nothing left in the dilapidated house for An Tianhua to smash.

In the past, when he drank, he would smash the TV, the refrigerator... anything that was worth money.

Later, Li Chunfang didn't buy it anymore. If it was smashed, it was smashed. At worst, she wouldn't use it anymore.

Over the years, the only things An Tianhua could smash were stools, chairs, cups and plates.

The broken porcelain pieces can be cleaned up as soon as they are picked up, which is good.

This is what Li Chunfang said.

An Tianhua and Li Chunfang were sitting in the main room. There was another person sitting in the room, Chen Yumei from the convenience store at the corner of the alley.

The three people were discussing something.

An Ning thought Chen Yumei came for the wine money that An Tianhua owed her.

"An Ning Yucan is back?"

Seeing them come back, Chen Yumei stood up, glanced at An Yucan who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said to Li Chunfang, "Chunfang, please think about what I just said. It won't do any harm to your family."

Li Chunfang responded, her gaze lingering on An Ning for a second, and then she waved to Chen Yumei and left.

"Mom, have you paid Aunt Chen the wine money you owe her?" An Ning asked.

"Where can I get the money?"

Li Chunfang rolled her eyes at An Tianhua and shouted, "Whoever owes it should pay it. I don't have the money anyway!"

An Tianhua didn't say anything, just smoked one cigarette after another.

An Ning had to go to work in the afternoon, so she left first. When she reached the alley, she met Chen Yumei again.

This time, Chen Yumei didn't mention the money to her, but just looked at her with a smiling look.

From top to bottom, from beginning to end.

An Ning felt that the look in her eyes was indescribable.
