Huo Yan followed Ning Shuyi into the elevator without saying a word. When he saw Ning Shuyi reaching out and pressing the button for the top floor, his expression did not change and he stood quietly beside her.
Although it had been a while since he moved here, he was busy with work during the day and had to do physical training after work. When he came back, Huo Yan just went to Ning Shuyi's house to eat and then went back upstairs to rest.
This was the first time he had been to the top floor.
After getting out of the elevator on the top floor, he discovered that this place was similar to the top floor where Chang Junchao, the murderer of the Deng Qingrong case, was hiding. After arriving here, there were stairs leading to the top of the building.
Following Ning Shuyi all the way up, it soon became clear to him that the roof of the building was designed by the property management company to be like a sky garden, with cement-tiled benches and a corridor.
Ning Shuyi walked to the guardrail on the side. The guardrail was relatively high. With her height, she could only expose most of her head above her mouth. Huo Yan was much taller than her, so the guardrail was better to block her chest.
It's already dark outside now. This building is relatively tall. Standing on the top of the building and looking into the distance, under the inky black night is the sea of traffic and lights in the city. Looking at it from this angle, It seems both lively and deserted.
Ning Shuyi stared outside without saying a word, with no expression on her face. If it weren't for the unusual rise and fall of her chest, it would be difficult for anyone to see her mood at this moment.
Huo Yan didn't say anything, looking at the lights in the distance, his eyes flickering.
The two of them stood like this for a long time. Ning Shuyi came back to his senses and turned to look at Huo Yan, who was next to him. One of his arms was hanging by his side, in a position where he could pull himself up if he moved. .
"Don't worry," Ning Shuyi laughed, stretched out her hand to pat him, and teased, "I won't jump off the building if I can't think of it!
Look at the height of this guardrail. Let alone jumping off a building, it would be difficult for me to climb over this guardrail! "
Huo Yan did not laugh, but looked at Ning Shuyi: "Are you in a bad mood?"
Ning Shuyi did not deny it. After all, who in a normal mental state would not rest at home at night and go up to the top floor to blow the cold wind!
"This is a great place that I discovered by accident." Ning Shuyi replied with a smile, "When I first moved in, there were people on the rooftop doing activities, but later I found that the place was just this big and there were no activities, so it was not interesting. , and gradually no one came.
I found that it is really not interesting to go up during the day, but at night, the night view from upstairs is quite good, especially when I feel depressed, I can calm down after staying here for a while. "
"The view here is really good." Huo Yan nodded and reached out to touch Ning Shuyi's earlobe, which was cold.
"The sun has gone down and it's cold outside. If you don't have anywhere in particular you want to go, you can come to my place and I'll order takeout. After your classmate named Fang Zhiyang leaves, you can go home and rest." He told Ning Shu Yi said, his tone sounded more like a decision had been made than a discussion.
Ning Shuyi didn't wear much, and he did feel a bit chilly now. He didn't express any objection to Huo Yan's proposal: "What if Fang Zhiyang never leaves?"
"Then you stay upstairs, and I'll sleep in the duty room at work." Huo Yan answered simply, "There are always more solutions than difficulties, and it's impossible for a living person to suffocate to death."
Ning Shuyi was amused by his words and nodded: "Okay, let's go down! I'm really hungry too!"
It is my basic principle not to punish myself for other people's mistakes! "
The two of them took the elevator down again and came to the house rented by Huo Yan. Huo Yan opened the door and invited Ning Shuyi in.
The last time Ning Shuyi came over, Huo Yan and Ning's father were still repairing the damaged things here, and the house was a little messy.
Ning Shuyi was startled when he opened the door, feeling as if he had accidentally entered the barracks.
Huo Yan doesn't have many things, they are simple. The basic furniture in the house was purchased by Ning's father before. The small coffee table, fabric sofa, and single back chair in the living room are all clean now.
There is no clutter on the coffee table
, the lace sofa towel that Ning’s mother specially selected according to her own taste is also laid out very smoothly on the sofa.
"Good guy, if my mother saw this, she would be so moved!" Ning Shuyi walked around the living room and couldn't help but sigh, "Our whole family can't even do half as neatly as you!"
Huo Yan was busy ordering takeout on his mobile phone and sending the order. Then he raised his head and realized that Ning Shuyi was praising him. He smiled faintly and motioned for her to sit wherever she pleased.
Ning Shuyi thought for a while and sat on the single-back chair.
It wasn't that she was being polite, it was mainly because the sofa cover was laid out so neatly and meticulously, even the lace was exceptionally well-proportioned, which gave her the illusion that it was a sin to wrinkle her butt when she sat on it.
Huo Yan also sat down. He was used to having his back straight, so he also had an upright posture when he sat there. The back of the sofa seemed a bit redundant.
"The meal is expected to be delivered within thirty minutes." Huo Yan glanced at the notification on his phone and put it on the coffee table, "Why do you hate that Fang Zhiyang so much?"
Ning Shuyi didn't answer but asked: "How much do you think I hate him?"
Huo Yan thought for a while: "To say you hate him may be because I used the wrong word. I think you hate him, maybe even hate him a little."
Ning Shuyi looked at him in surprise: "Why do you think so? Did I have any inappropriate reaction just now?"
"No, you behaved very appropriately." Huo Yan looked at her, "But there is one thing that is different.
You are usually very warm to everyone, but just now you were not just cold to Fang Zhiyang, but even turned to ice in an instant.
Anyone who can make you treat someone with such an attitude is definitely not a good person. "
"So sure!" Ning Shuyi was originally in a bad mood, but he just didn't want to trouble others with his gloomy face. However, Huo Yan's words aroused his curiosity, "Is this because you know me? Are you preconceived and your stance not objective enough?"
"This is not a work matter. There is no need to remain objective." Huo Yan shook his head and said firmly, "Between you and outsiders, my subjectivity is the greatest objectivity."
Ning Shuyi had to admit that when he heard these words at this time, he really felt inexplicably comforted.
She was also surprised that a person like Huo Yan, who could express his emotions and anger and seemed to always maintain a sense of alienation from everyone, would actually say such words to comfort people.
