Chapter 131 - Change of Attitude
Chapter 131 - Change of attitude on the first day of the new year
This sentence of "Happy New Year" never received a reply, whether it was from the mobile phone or when we looked into each other's eyes in the living room.
In short, Ning Fei came out of the bathroom, poured a glass of water, and then went straight into the master bedroom. This time the door locked with a click and was never opened again.
Until daytime, noon on the first day of the New Year.
Ning Fei slept until lunch time, and if he hadn't been woken up by the phone ringing, he could have slept for another two hours. He frowned and reached for his phone to see the caller ID: Zheng Liwen.
"..." Ning Fei is now fed up with Zheng Liwen.
But he still answered the phone, but his tone was not very good: "Hello?!"
"Happy New Year! Your voice really hasn't gotten up yet?" Zheng Liwen said happily, "Then you really didn't see my message."
Ning Fei was a little grumpy after waking up: "If you have something to say, just say it. If you just want to wish me a happy new year, I'll hang up. Oh, Happy New Year."
"You are so irritable, maybe you are hungover. Can you do it? Weren't you so high-spirited when you left yesterday?" Zheng Liwen didn't care about his hard tone at all and replied, "Okay, open the door."
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door from the receiver.
Ning Fei was stunned for a moment: "...what?"
"Open the door. I just went out to eat. I thought you were probably alone today, so I brought you a portion. It's brand new, not leftovers." Zheng Liwen said, "Don't ask me to take it back. It's New Year's Day, and I'm here..."
He had just recited two sentences of the "Four-Character Formula" when the door opened.
"...Huh?" Zheng Liwen was a little confused when he saw the person who opened the door. It took him two seconds to come back to his senses, "Director Duan?!"
Duan Yunhong, who had gotten up long ago, stood at the door with a calm expression: "Captain Zheng? How are you? Is there anything wrong?"
"This..." Zheng Liwen was full of question marks. He couldn't understand why this person was here now. Shouldn't he be at the Huichuan base thousands of miles away? If this person came to Tianyue to spend the New Year with Ning Fei, why did Ning Fei have New Year’s Eve dinner with his team members yesterday?
There is another problem. Zheng Liwen only packed lunch for one person. Now that he has Duan Yunhong at home, Zheng Liwen feels a bit embarrassed and awkward.
Furthermore, Zheng Liwen took advantage of his drunkenness to talk to Ning Fei about some private topics last night, and today he saw Ning Fei's "that person", which was even more embarrassing.
——What has happened to these two? Don’t accidentally interfere again…
Fortunately, before Zheng Liwen could come up with a line of speech, Ning Fei came out of the master bedroom, raking his messy hair with one hand, and walked towards the door with a dissatisfied tone: "Are you addicted to being a father or do you want to be a male mother? You come to bring me food for no reason. Isn't it enough for you to take care of those kids in your team?"
As soon as he arrived, Duan Yunhong made way for the door, and the original sense of oppression and confrontation suddenly dissipated. Zheng Liwen raised the bag in his hand and said, "You were right. Those two are still lying in my house, dying. I also prepared food for them. It was a good idea for you to run away last night. Otherwise, you would have vomited in the middle of the night and the whole house would have been filled with the smell of alcohol. You would have been so angry that you would have kicked them."
"Then you are really a male mother. I'll give you a banner someday to publicize your spirit of dedication." Ning Fei's eyes quickly swept over the two men and he made a quick decision in his mind, but the lazy expression on his face did not change at all. He took the lunch from Zheng Liwen and said, "Got it, you can go now."
Zheng Liwen raised his eyebrows: "You think I'm a delivery man, right? At least you can say 'thank you' when you receive the food."
"Thank you. You've worked hard. Happy New Year." Ning Fei said a bunch of words without any emotion, and then said, "That's all. Bye."
"You are such a..." Zheng Liwen said jokingly, but did not finish his comment. He glanced at Duan Yunhong who was standing aside, and changed the subject: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. It seems I don't need to ask you whether you will attend the 'Singles Dinner' today. See you later."
"bye."
Zheng Liwen finally nodded to Duan Yunhong, then turned around and left.
Ning Fei closed the door, turned around and glanced at Duan Yunhong, and complained: "You open the door, don't you know what's going on outside? What if the person who comes has bad intentions and you don't have any special abilities? If you can't handle it yourself, and you also implicate me, then I will be in big trouble."
"Am I that stupid? I heard him talking outside the door." Duan Yunhong replied, "Also, I don't have any special powers, but that doesn't mean I don't have weapons. It's not necessarily slower for me to take out a weapon from space than for you to take out a gun from a holster."
"Then what? If you don't kill the opponent, you will be exposed for your spatial ability?" Ning Fei put the lunch box on the table. "By the way, did you report your visit to Tianyue this time? Don't wait until Huichuan calls Tianyue to ask for someone again, and Yu Zhou turns around and scolds me again."
"Are you asking now? If I hadn't informed you, you would have known I was coming. After all, I have a 'criminal record', and the first place they suspected was the Tianyue Base." Duan Yunhong listened to his questioning, vaguely sensing some concern in it - or perhaps it was an illusion - and replied with a nonchalant smile, "But even if you find Yu Zhou, what's the point of Yu Zhou scolding you?"
"You're asking even though you already know the answer. Isn't it because of your criminal record? Because you came to Tianyue without permission last time, Yu Zhou thought I recruited you, so he'll naturally think it's my fault this time." Ning Fei said as he opened the bag and took out the lunch box. "But how did you report this to Huichuan? If you applied to come to Tianyue in advance, Tianyue should have received the news in advance."
Duan Yunhong replied naturally: "I told them to keep it a secret."
Ning Fei: “…”
He subconsciously wanted to ask "Why keep it a secret?", but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized and swallowed them back.
Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong did not hide anything about what happened in Huichuan. Everyone who should know must know it. Duan Yunhong had "sneaked away" with Ning Fei before, and this time he came again and asked Huichuan to keep it a secret. You can guess with your toes what excuse this guy used.
It's nothing more than, "I'm going to celebrate the holiday with Ning Fei, so I have to keep it a secret and give him a surprise."
Ning Fei decided to skip the question "Why" and directly asked the next question: "Then when you go back, if they ask, how will you give them feedback on the results?"
Duan Yunhong was not surprised at all that he guessed the so-called "confidential content" and replied nonchalantly: "Just say that I failed, so there is no result. Are they going to come and verify the situation with you? Those people are not that idle."
"It doesn't matter if you check it." Ning Fei replied, "I asked you to help cooperate, so I will naturally cooperate with your words."
"What if I say I succeeded?" Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Wouldn't that be different from what you said to someone in Jinghui?"
"It's indeed contradictory." Ning Fei said jokingly, "Then I can only say, 'Duan Yunhong is talking nonsense for the sake of face.' If it lowers your reputation, you can't blame me."
Duan Yunhong realized that Ning Fei's condition was different from last night.
Last night, Ning Fei was in a state of obvious rejection, and was always in an unhappy and irritable mood. In that situation, Duan Yunhong couldn't say anything, because the more he spoke, the more the conflict would be intensified. But today, Ning Fei's state seemed to have completely changed. He returned to his original natural and casual attitude, and more importantly, he no longer ignored Duan Yunhong today.
You know, Duan Yunhong hasn't received the response of "Happy New Year" yet.
Although there is no "read" prompt on the social software, Duan Yunhong doesn't know whether Ning Fei brought his mobile phone when taking a shower last night, but Duan Yunhong is very clear that Ning Fei must have seen it. Ning Fei is a person who always keeps abreast of information. Even if he didn't see it at the time, he must have seen it after entering the room. But until now, Ning Fei had not responded to this simple congratulation. Instead, he first said "Happy New Year" to Zheng Liwen who had also come uninvited...
Thinking of this, Duan Yunhong said, "By the way, Happy New Year."
"…Why are you so serious?" Ning Fei turned around and looked at him, "Happy New Year, may you make a fortune, be healthy, and have everything go your way. Is that enough?"
Duan Yunhong: “…”
Although he received a few more congratulations than Zheng Liwen, Duan Yunhong couldn't help but say, "Such perfunctory and impatient congratulations are quite rare."
"Come on. You and I are not from this world, why bother with the sense of ceremony?" Ning Fei sneered and spread his hands at him, "Besides, why do you ask me to congratulate you seriously? Are you going to give me a red envelope?"
Duan Yunhong held his hand and said, "You can send it."
As soon as he finished speaking, 100 points of luck were transferred to Ning Fei.
This time it was Ning Fei's turn to “…”
"You're just trying to comfort a child!" Ning Fei slapped Duan Yunhong's hand with her other hand. As soon as Duan Yunhong relaxed, Ning Fei withdrew her hand. "You're crazy."
Duan Yunhong was scolded for his bad luck, but to be honest, he felt much better than last night.
Ning Feike didn't care about his feelings and continued, "I have taken care of my lunch, you can take care of yours yourself. Don't think that I provide food and accommodation here."
"Do you think I'll be short of food?" Duan Yunhong said, "I have other vacuum-frozen foods and even a microwave. Do you want to charge me for the electricity to heat the food? I can pay for it now."
As he spoke, he really stretched out his hand. This time, Ning Fei just glanced at his hand, sneered, and turned to go into the bathroom to wash up.
Duan Yunhong looked at the closed bathroom door and carefully recalled Ning Fei's every move, words and expression. Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.
——Ning Fei...seems like he's still pulling away, but the distance has become less obvious.
——The tone and attitude he used when speaking to me were actually similar to Zheng Liwen’s. It seems like a joke, but in fact the boundaries are clear.
Duan Yunhong's gaze moved to the three dishes and one soup brought by Zheng Liwen on the table.
——And their relationship has become so good? They had New Year's Eve dinner together, and Ning Fei even sent lunch to their house without permission, and Ning Fei accepted it...
However, Zheng Liwen's words "No need to ask whether you will still attend the 'singles party'" should have meant that Ning Fei "has a partner now".
Ning Feike did not refute that statement.

Ning Fei actually makes the decision. Did you see that?
