These words seemed to be talking about Ning Shuyi's realization and emotion after that initial experience, and they seemed to have a different meaning.
Huo Yan looked at Ning Shuyi, smiled silently, and nodded: "I understand."
It was about nine o'clock in the evening, and Ning Shuyi felt very sleepy. He guessed that Nie Guang and the others would not be shameless enough to stay so late at someone else's house, so he went downstairs to go home and rest.
When I got home, everyone had already left, leaving only Ning's father and Ning's mother watching a noisy family drama in the living room.
Seeing that Ning Shuyi was back, Ning's father quickly got up and went to the kitchen: "My daughter is back! What a delicious meal Dad made tonight, and I specially left a portion for you! Just wait, I'll heat it up for you !”
Ning Shuyi originally wanted to say that he had eaten takeout and was not hungry at all, but he was afraid of disappointing his father's wishes, so he responded with a smile.
Ning's mother patted the sofa next to her and motioned for Ning Shuyi to sit over. She pulled her daughter to look at her with some distress: "Did you not sleep all night yesterday? Look at the dark circles under your eyes!
It's already this late, and I didn't see you back just now. Your dad and I were still worried about whether we would have to stay up all night again, which would be too much for our bodies to endure all this time!
You sit down for a while, eat something quickly, and then go to bed early! "
Ning Shuyi responded and asked seemingly casually: "Why did Nie Guang bring his clients to our home?"
Ning's mother glanced at her little daughter helplessly, knowing that she had never liked her brother-in-law, so she could still show some respect in front of her sister, but she didn't even bother to pretend in private.
"I guess he wants to curry favor with others. I heard that his partner's son is very picky, and the average chef's skills outside can't satisfy him, so I thought of bringing him over. Your dad is good at cooking and can cook some private dishes for him. Something like that." She said to Ning Shuyi, "I didn't expect that when we started chatting at our house, I found out that that person was your classmate!"
Ning Shuyi chuckled: "The taste is so tricky, but I haven't starved to death yet, haven't I grown so old!"
"I guess I just don't know how to beat someone up!" Ning's mother also felt that this statement sounded too pretentious, "How was your relationship with your classmate in the past?
Before you came back, listening to the two of them chatting, it seemed that you were quite familiar with each other, but judging from your reaction after entering the house, it didn't seem like that. "
"We're not familiar with each other, we're just in the same class, and we haven't even spoken a few words.
Don't let him bring people home again in the future. My father is retired and can pursue his own interests at home, not as a private chef at home. "Ning Shuyi brought the topic over in an understatement.
"Well, don't worry, Mom knows what's going on." Ning's mother nodded.
After eating, Ning Shuyi washed up and rested, preparing to recuperate and devote himself to the next day's work.
But when she actually lay on the bed and closed her eyes, the image of Fang Zhiyang's face that she saw when she entered the house at night came to mind involuntarily, making her feel a twinge of discomfort. A cold came out.
Ning Shuyi turned over and buried his face into the pillow.
She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that after so many years, the impact of what happened back then still remained on her.
Although during that period of innocent disaster, she used her stubbornness to disguise her strength and nonchalance, which shocked those girls. Later, they were afraid that the matter would get worse and it would not end well, so they did not dare to do any more drastic actions. In the end, all the gossip was gone. In the end, because it was aimless, there was gradually no movement.
He even found his life's purpose and value as a blessing in disguise.
But those who have been frightened and hurt, as well as being helpless and unable to argue, are like a scar, a bumpy, ferocious scar. As long as you see it, the feeling when you are hurt will be the same as Like a phantom, it returns like a ghost.
If he hadn't suddenly seen Fang Zhiyang again at home today, Ning Shuyi always thought that he had completely turned the page on the past.
She suddenly remembered Huo Yan's abnormal state when the Chang Junchao case was closed. She thought of the figure who ran around and around the sports field as if to vent his anger. She thought of how he always stayed close to others and kept them close. With a distant attitude.
Huo Yan said that night that he had no family. Regarding this, Ning Shuyi was not sure whether he was stating facts or talking.
But after having her thoughts today, she also realized a problem.
When a person is really hurt by someone or something, others who have no personal experience or feelings will always lightly persuade others to let go and look forward, and this kind of comfort is so feeble.
If his previous experience left a scar in his heart, then Huo Yan's current character and attitude seem to have been exiled by his past experience.
He was among the crowd, but he seemed to be on an isolated island.
Ning Shuyi turned over and sighed.
It's not a knot that can be settled easily over a trivial matter, nor can it be opened so casually. I hope I can really help him.
Early the next morning, as soon as Ning Shuyi got up, he saw the message Huo Yan sent to him the day before on his phone, saying that he had gone to the bureau first and they would meet again at the work.
Taking a look at the sending time, it turned out to be in the early morning!
What on earth did this guy think about after he got home? He didn't even have a good night's sleep. He went to work overtime in the middle of the night?
With strong curiosity, Ning Shuyi didn't even eat breakfast. She packed a few steamed buns that Ning's father had heated up in the morning and went out. When she arrived at the door of the office in a hurry, many people hadn't arrived yet. Huo Yan In front of the desk, he frowned slightly, looking thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.
When he heard someone coming in, he came back to his senses, saw Ning Shuyi, and nodded to her as a greeting.
Although this kind of reaction is not very enthusiastic, it is already quite a special treatment here in Huo Yan. After all, no one else has ever experienced this.
"Here!" Ning Shuyi brought two portions of steamed buns, and she took out one and handed it over, "Why do you have to work overtime when you don't sleep at night?
Be careful, I will report you to Captain Dong! Let Captain Dong give you a vacation as a punishment! During the vacation, you are not allowed to work or exercise, you can only sleep, eat and watch TV! I feel so sorry for you! "
Hearing her gritting her teeth and describing the comfort of vacation as if it were torture, Huo Yan couldn't help but laugh. He reached out to take the bun, thanked her, and then said to her: "Last night I figured out something that had been ignored before. s things."
