Half past ten at night.
After taking a shower, Su Ruowan took out the acupuncture book and turned to the pages that detailed various eye diseases.
Just after finishing the examination and preparing to get the needle box to change to other acupuncture points, Huo Shengnian suddenly came and knocked on the door.
Su Ruowan put down the needle box and stood up to open the door.
Huo Shengnian asked her, "Do you want to have a midnight snack together?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ruwan smelled the aroma of grilled skewers and spicy hot pot.
"Barbecue?" Su Ruowan was very surprised. Would he eat such a midnight snack?
"Well, you treat me to braised food, and I treat you to skewers. It's a give-and-take relationship that will last, right?"
"Yes, thank you. Next time, I'll stew it for you at our house. Although I haven't inherited my mother's braising skills, I've got about 70% of them, so it's still edible."
"Okay, let's finish the late-night snack outside today. Want to drink?"
"It's so late, why don't you just stop drinking? Let's have some drinks. There's iced sparkling water in the fridge."
"As you say."
"Yeah, I'll get it."
Su Ruowan took four bottles of sparkling water, opened two first, and handed one to Huo Shengnian.
A big plate of grilled skewers and a big pot of spicy hot pot.
Su Ruowan was in the bathroom just now and didn't hear any noise outside.
"When did you order takeout?"
"Not long."
"Didn't you eat enough tonight?" Su Ruowan took a skewer of grilled chicken wings.
"Are you full?" Huo Shengnian raised his eyebrows and asked instead of answering.
Su Ruowan shook her head. She really wasn't full. Then, remembering that Huo Shengnian couldn't see, she said, "No, there were so many weird things happening all night. I finally understand why those wise men don't attend class reunions or alumni associations."
"There are also normal class reunions." Huo Shengnian looked at her and said.
There was something a little unusual about her alumni meeting tonight, but there was no need to take it to heart, it was all in the past.
"Yeah." Su Ruowan nodded. Just now, she was definitely like a screw spoiling the whole pot of soup.
In addition to barbecue and spicy hot pot, Huo Shengnian also had a small bowl of fried rice next to him, which he had already eaten half.
Su Ruowan discovered that Huo Shengnian liked to eat these heavy-flavored foods with rice. Last time, when he had hot pot with Mo Youwei and his grandmother at a hot pot restaurant, he didn't eat much and ended up drinking two large bowls of millet porridge.
Huo Shengnian didn't like strong-flavored food as much as Mo Youwei, but he didn't refuse it either. He picked up the skewers slowly and ate them in small bites with an elegant demeanor, just like he was eating Western food.
Huo Shengnian only had four or five skewers, while Su Ruowan had almost finished twenty skewers.
Paired with spicy hot pot and sparkling water, Su Ruowan soon felt full.
She slowed down her eating and carefully observed Huo Shengnian sitting opposite her. The two of them were eating skewers in such an awkward manner. Sparkling water was not wine, so she felt embarrassed to clink the sparkling water with each other.
"Huo Shengnian, what's wrong with you tonight? I feel like you don't seem to be in a good mood. Did your uncle and aunt give you a hard time?"
Su Ruowan still remembered that he did not go to the alumni meeting with her today, but went to the airport to pick up his uncle and aunt.
It has been a while since they got the marriage certificate, and she still doesn't have a complete understanding of Huo Shengnian's family background. At present, she only knows that his grandmother is Grandma Liu who lives in Fushouju for retirement, and his uncle and aunt who came from the imperial capital tonight.
By the way, he has a sister and a brother-in-law. The boss of Yue Restaurant is his brother-in-law, and he was badly cheated by his brother-in-law tonight.
As for his parents, Su Ruowan never had the courage to ask.
Grandma did mention that he was unlucky for his parents, but she didn't believe it.
Huo Shengnian shook his head. "They have no right to make things difficult for me. I just don't get along with them. It's similar to your situation tonight."
“…”
Su Ruowan was silent. She could empathize with him about not getting along with the people around him.
That really put him in a difficult position. No wonder he didn't eat enough and had to order takeout when he got home.
"Su Ruowan, do you want to hear my story?" Huo Shengnian suddenly spoke.
"...Would you like some wine?"
Su Ruowan asked almost subconsciously, because she thought of the meme on the Internet: I have stories and wine, do you want to come with me?
Huo Shengnian was amused by Su Ruowan's cute and adorable look. He smiled and shook his head, "No, don't you have sparkling water? Sparkling water is like wine. Girls should drink less."
"Oh." Su Ruowan responded obediently.
She silently reminded herself that Huo Shengnian didn't like her drinking, so she should drink less in the future.
However, she also wanted to remind him that since she was married to him, she was no longer a girl but a married woman.
In the end, Su Ruowan did not speak to ruin the current atmosphere.
she……
I want to hear Huo Shengnian tell his story.
This shows that he is willing to open his heart to her.
That's good news, it proves that their relationship is about to break the ice, right?
Huo Shengnian was silent for a long time, at least ten minutes. During these ten minutes, Su Ruowan was neither impatient nor urging him. She just waited for him quietly and patiently.
She had prepared herself mentally, knowing that Huo Shengnian would remain silent until the end and might not say anything.
That doesn't matter.
He didn't say it, he must have his considerations, and he didn't trust her enough. She would work hard to do her duty in the future and win his trust.
Sooner or later, he might be willing to open his heart to her.
Huo Shengnian calmed himself down and just as he made up his mind to tell Su Ruowan his story, the phone rang as he opened his mouth.
“…”
It was his cell phone. Su Ruowan had turned off the silent mode on her phone. She was just about to give herself a needle.
