Chapter 122 New Year's Day
After Zhou Ran drove away, Yan Qilin also came out of the elevator.
Yan Nian happened to turn around and see him: "Dad, are you leaving?"
Yan Qilin said, "Well, I'll let grandma stay here with you. Is that okay?"
Yao Lijun's legs and feet haven't been feeling well since winter. Xu Yiqing had wanted to take her over for a long time, but Yao Lijun said to wait a little longer. Yan Nian, of course, hoped that her grandmother would come.
Yan Nian walked over: "Of course no problem."
I don’t know when it started, but the father and daughter have run out of things to talk about, to the point where they need to deliberately find topics to talk about.
Yan Qilin glanced behind her and asked, "Is Zhou Ran gone?"
Yan Nian replied: "Yes, I just left."
Yan Qilin walked towards the parking space: "Hurry up and get on, I'm leaving too."
Ever since Wen Lijun left Lindu, she and Yan Qilin have met very rarely. Perhaps because he felt guilty towards her, Yan Qilin would send her a WeChat message every week to ask about her recent situation.
Yan Nian looked at his back and shouted, "Dad!"
Yan Qilin stopped and turned around: "What's wrong?"
Yan Nian walked up to him, pursed her lips, and asked, "Dad, is the house in the south renovated?"
Yan Qilin was slightly startled: "Okay, we still have to buy some furniture, what's wrong?"
It has been completed for a long time, and ever since Yan Nian mentioned not letting them move in, he has not paid any attention to the house.
Wen Lijun argued with him several times before he saw the woman's true face.
Yan Nian nodded: "Oh, then when I'm free someday, I'll show you the furniture! You can move in quickly."
Yan Qilin paused for a few seconds, then a look of delight appeared on his face: "Okay. Okay, the key is with grandma. If you're free, please help dad."
Yan Nian smiled and said, "Well, drive carefully."
Yan Qilin didn't leave. He seemed to have something to say but was hesitant.
Yan Nian asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Yan Qilin habitually adjusted the frame of his glasses and asked her, "Zhou Ran, is he treating you well?"
Yan Nian's eyes trembled, and he replied: "Yeah, it's good for me."
Yan Qilin said earnestly, "That's good. I believe Nian Nian's judgment is correct. Your mother was just testing him on purpose. She didn't really want you to quit."
"Yeah, I know."
Yan Qilin added, "Zhou Ran is doing well. Dad supports you."
Yan Nian's mouth curved up: "Thank you, Dad."
Yan Qilin unlocked the car: "Alright, get in quickly. It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
"good."
-
This winter, for Yan Nian, was not cold at all, just like a sunny February day.
Another year passed in the blink of an eye. On New Year's Day, Zhou Ran was unable to return home from the coast. Xu Yiqing went to Aunt Chen's house early in the morning, so Yan Nian had to stay at home.
I was reading a book when the phone next to me lit up. It was Cheng Xiao announcing her pregnancy in the group.
After a while, the small group of five people suddenly became lively.
Yan Nian also joined in the group to offer congratulations.
Switching out, there is also news about Xu Ke.
Xu Ke: [Nian'er, want to get together for a while?]
-
It was very lively outside with huge crowds of people and the cafe was packed with people.
The two of them finally found a milk tea shop and sat down. Xu Ke ordered a cup of low-sugar tea.
Yan Nian was still struggling over which one to order. Her period had just ended and she had no appetite for anything.
Xu Ke asked, "I heard you took Zhou Ran to meet his parents?"
Yan Nian lowered his eyes and flipped through the drinks on his phone and responded, "Yeah."
Xu Ke nudged her with his elbow: "At this rate, are you getting married soon?"
Yan Nian ordered a cup of hot milk tea and said as he placed the order, "It's still early."
Thinking of something, she asked again: "By the way, the seniors are here and working, how are you guys developing?"
Xu Ke pouted: "That's it."
Yan Nian curled her eyelashes: "I think he is a good person, why do you seem so hostile to him?"
Xu Ke sighed. "It's not that I'm hostile. Think about it, if someone who calls you brother every day suddenly confesses his feelings to you in front of twenty or so people, how would you react? And as a psychology major, wouldn't it be creepy?"
Yan Nian didn't expect Mu Chen to be so bold. She said, "I don't find it creepy. On the contrary, I think he must have been interested in you for a long time and wants to be your brother first, and then your boyfriend."
Xu Ke chuckled, "Come on, I treat him as a brother, but he wants to be my boyfriend."
Yan Nian also smiled: "People are often confused by the situation. I see that you care about him a lot, and you care so much about your image in front of him. Ever since he came to the capital, you have been going to the gym every day, and now you are really losing weight like lightning."
Xu Ke rolled his eyes and said, "Tsk, even if he doesn't come, I still go there every day!"
Think about Yan Nian's words, does she really care that much about her image in front of him?
Yan Nian coaxed, "Okay, okay, you go every day. You're not in a relationship right now, why not try it with the senior."
Xu Ke pushed her away: "Let me think about it."
The two of them walked around the mall for a while, and then Yan Nian followed Xu Ke home. They were spending New Year's Day at her uncle's house today.
As soon as I arrived at my uncle's house, Zhou Ran sent me a message: [Happy New Year, baby! ]
Yan Nianhui: [Happy New Year, are you done with your work?]
Zhou Ran: [Well, it's almost done. The contract has been signed, and we're preparing materials for production. We need to ship it within this month, so we'll have to wait a few more days.]
Yan Nian: [Don't be too tired.]
Zhou Ran asked: [Are you at home?]
Yan Nian: [At my uncle's house, I'll be back in the evening.]
After waiting for a few minutes, Zhou Ran didn't reply. Xu Ke leaned over and said, "Hey, honey, your boss is really busy."
Yan Nian quickly put away her phone and didn't let her see it.
Pan Yuzhi asked Xu Yiqing and Yao Lijun to stay overnight. Yan Nian had to work overtime tomorrow and took a taxi home.
After paying the fare and getting off the car, a black SUV flashed its high beams twice in front of me on the left.
Yan Nian noticed it and looked over again in a blink of an eye. Zhou Ran was sitting in the driver's seat with a smile on his face, waving at her.
Yan Nian was a little surprised. Didn’t he have to stay for a few more days?
As he walked over, his steps became lighter.
Zhou Ran lowered the car window.
Yan Nian asked, "Why are you back?"
Zhou Ran raised his chin and said, "Let's talk in the car."
Yan Nian walked around to the side and got on the passenger seat, fastening his seatbelt: "When did you come back?"
Zhou Ran: "I was at the airport when I sent you the message."
Yan Nian has long been accustomed to Zhou Ran's surprise attacks, and this has happened more than once or twice.
Yan Nian asked about his well-being for a long time, and finally accompanied him to have a Western meal.
The two walked hand in hand towards the East Square.
There is an empty lawn in the East Square. There is a fireworks show every New Year’s Day, and this year it is particularly lively.
When they arrived, fireworks had already soared into the sky, drowning out the noise of the crowds on the ground.
The two held hands and walked through the crowd.
They didn't know that on the other side, someone was pointing a mobile phone at them and pressed the camera button the moment the fireworks exploded.
"Yan Nian, Mr. Zhou."
Hearing the sound, the two of them turned around together.
Xu Mi was wearing a festive red sweater, her hair pinned into a princess bun with velvet hairpins, and she waved to them.
Following behind was Qi Jin, who was wearing a black windbreaker and had his hands in his pockets.
