Jiang Yu stood frozen at the doorway, blocking An Ning from entering. Seeing his reaction, An Ning guessed that her question might be a bit difficult, so she shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's fine if you don't want to say. I was just asking casually, you can just pretend you didn't hear it."
As she spoke, Jiang Yu had already silently changed his shoes and made way for her, creating a fairly wide path.
"I guess you've gone back."
His voice suddenly came out as An Ning entered and closed the door, along with the 'bang' of the door slamming shut.
She turned around and met Jiang Yu's gaze. "What do you mean? Why is it considered like we've gone back?"
Seeing that Jiang Yu was willing to speak, Jiang Chiyu didn't hesitate and continued to follow up on what had just been said.
The brief awkwardness between the two of them vanished without them even realizing it.
"Well... my parents want me to go back home, but I'll only go back for meals, I won't live with them."
Jiang Yu tried to explain his current situation, hoping that An Ning could understand his conflicted feelings.
He was willing to go back only because they were his parents who gave him life and raised him, not because he liked the family that way so much.
Jiang Yu, who had no premonition, looked away and emphasized, "Bad."
But I met someone who had two dollars in his pocket and still wanted to treat me to a meal.
Suddenly, a cup of cold tea was placed on the previously empty coffee table, and the previously empty sofa next to him suddenly sagged. Feeling the breathing of the person beside him, Jiang Yu's clenched fingers loosened a little. "Drink."
"What is he doing now? Is he a vagrant?"
That was a very polite way of putting it, but Jiang Yu had to admit that his impression of Anning after that visit was indeed like that.
"He...does he hate you?"
It seems you haven't known about Jiang Yu for quite some time.
An Ning placed her cup behind her, took out the remote, and turned on a TV series that she knew what was going on, playing it in the background.
Why would Jiang Yu suddenly give you a car? Especially a sports car worth hundreds of millions.
When Jiang Yu mentioned my dad's company, Anning, I suddenly realized that I had never asked Jiang Yu what his family did, and I only knew that his family was very poor.
In fact, he didn't want to go back to this house ever since he went in.
An Ning stared intently into Jiang Yu's eyes with her amber eyes. After a moment's thought, she frowned and asked, "Jiang Yu, ask him a question, and he'll answer you truthfully."
What about outside?
"Yeah, don't ask me when, you already know."
How could they possibly just give you a car that's empty?
After he came out again, he definitely wouldn't have gone back if they hadn't called him several times a day to urge him.
Realizing he hadn't thought things through, Jiang Yu quickly suppressed his chaotic thoughts and answered An Ning's question seriously, "It's far from his place, in the next district."
Is there some ulterior motive behind giving you a car worth millions out of the blue?
An Ning immediately understood what Jiang Yu meant. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Ah, so you mean you'll occasionally be urged to go back for a meal, but you'll still be living alone outside? All by yourself?"
Hmm... there are quite a lot.
An Ning thought long and hard but couldn't find a suitable excuse for the action. Just when you were about to give up, you suddenly thought of something, turned around and grabbed Jiang Yu's wrist, pulling him towards the unfocused TV screen.
In an instant, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Anning vaguely felt the body of the person whose wrist she was holding stiffen for a moment, a state that lasted for about ten seconds. Then Anning heard a reply that seemed to come from somewhere.
Actually, that's your fault too. After all, you only approached Jiang Yu because he was poor.
Is there something you want to know?
Suddenly, I thought of that sense of peace, but something just didn't feel right. Yet, I couldn't quite put my finger on what exactly felt right.
I laughed at the random thoughts that kept popping up in my head, and I forced a self-deprecating smile before suppressing these chaotic ideas.
An Ning tilted her head. "Following in his father's footsteps? He went back to his dad's company after get off work?"
Damn, I thought I knew Jiang Yu pretty well, but it turns out that all I know about him is that I've been to jail and I'm broke.
Even if we sell that car, we can still recoup some money, right? There's no harm in giving it to you, is there?
"Now he's a vagrant with a job, but now it's like his son is carrying on his father's business."
"Next door?" An Ning paused in pouring water. "Is next door also a villa area? Did he buy it recently, or did it sell out a long time ago?"
You looked into Jiang Yu's eyes and sensed a hint of panic and a desperate urge to flee the scene.
Where does he live now? Is it close to your place?
Judging from Jiang Yu's reaction, the chances of your guess being confirmed are very small.
Why did you ask that question?
My understanding is only superficial.
You're boiling water to make tea right now, and the questions you're asking are all thoughtless. You might find it strange yourself, but to Jiang Yu it's just too strange.
Anning asked again.
Although Jiang Yu changed his mind earlier, saying he would ask you to take the car back later if he needed it, he clearly didn't mean to give the car to you as soon as he finished speaking.
And at that time, you actually didn't think it was a problem and foolishly accepted the excuse Jiang Yu gave you.
I don't know why, but Anning suddenly added a question at the very beginning of her sentence.
Perhaps long ago, or perhaps on this very night when I was eating fried rice with sausage, it was the most embarrassing and awkward moment of my life.
Which one exactly?
Almost without restraint, a jumble of chaotic thoughts instantly flooded Jiang Yu's mind.
Oh, I guessed it. It makes perfect sense that Jiang Yu delivered the car to you.
Do you still remember the reason Jiang Yu gave you? It's because the car was just sitting there empty, and since you didn't have a car, he gave it to you to drive.
Jiang Yu wanted to answer that it was newly purchased and the decoration was still the original owner's, but what came out was, "It was purchased a long time ago, after your father bought it. It has been idle for a long time. You moved here because you wanted to continue living in Fengchao."
So much time has passed, and you still managed to swindle money... Yes, it seems you did manage to swindle them; they even gave you a car worth a few million.
Looking back now, you just feel like you were incredibly stupid back then.
Jiang Yu was displeased that An Ning found me strange, but he still couldn't help but pause when he heard An Ning's first question. "Yes, you live alone now."
Are they checking household registration?
Why do you even care where I live?
One lie after another, Jiang Yu now dared not even look An Ning in the eye, only daring to look at the coffee table behind him. "Bad, isn't it? Want some tea? Honey lemon tea."
