Eye of Sin

When Ning's father was preparing to cook, he asked Ning Shuyi to call Huo Yan and ask him if he would come back for dinner. However, Ning Shuyi didn't answer the call after he called him.

When Huo Yan came back, it was already after lunch. When he came back, he bought some vegetables for Ning's father.

This thoughtful move made Ning's father very happy, and he immediately served Huo Yan the meal left for him at noon.

Huo Yan no longer had any courtesy with Ning's father. He just sat down and ate all the food. He consciously took his dishes and chopsticks to the sink and washed them.

"What's this kid doing? Look, he's hungry!" Ning's father muttered to Ning's mother in a low voice.

After eating and washing the dishes, Huo Yan called Ning Shuyi over.

"Put this here for you." He took out a small paper bag from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Ning Shuyi's hand, without giving her a chance to ask.

Ning Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then opened the small paper bag and poured out a black rectangle with several buttons on one side and a familiar logo on the other side.

"Car key?" Ning Shuyi was a little confused. The car key was brand new, which made it clear that it couldn't be from the bureau, so there was only one answer, "You haven't seen anyone all morning, so you went to pick up the car?

When did you buy it? Is it registered?

That’s not right, today is the weekend, the vehicle management office is closed, so you can’t get your license plate..."

"It has been booked for more than three months, almost four months. I just arrived a while ago and asked the 4S store to put the license plate on my behalf. Everything is done today. I will pick it up." Huo Yan answered all her questions in one breath. .

Ning Shuyi looked him up and down: "You are so secretive about this matter! We have been working together and getting off work together for such a long time, and I haven't heard you mention it at all!
  Why did you suddenly think of buying a car? I've never heard you say you had such a plan before! "

Huo Yan glanced at Ning's mother and Ning's father: "It's dispensable. It's more convenient if you have it. It doesn't matter if you don't have it.

Now, with a transportation tool, uncles and aunts can be less sulky. "

Ning Shuyi did not expect that Huo Yan's original intention was like this. It was absolutely impossible to say that she was not surprised, but she quickly hid her surprise and did not show it in front of Huo Yan.

"I see," she weighed the car keys in her hand, "You did make a lot of meritorious deeds back then! Your strength is amazing!"

Huo Yan rubbed the back of his head: "I didn't have much to spend money on before."

He seemed to be a little embarrassed by Ning Shuyi's praise, and quickly pointed to the car keys in Ning Shuyi's hand: "There are two in total. Each of us will take one. It will be convenient for anyone to use it for anything."

"Okay." Ning Shuyi nodded with a smile and looked at the car keys in his hand, "I'll look through it later to see if there are any nice key chains and hang them as decorations."

Huo Yan smiled, his smile looked relaxed, nodded, turned around and went to help Ning's father again.

Ning Shuyi looked at his back as he strode away and smiled.

When the two of them were not familiar with each other, she knew that he always kept to himself and kept others away from him, so she would never go beyond it, so as not to lose the sense of boundaries, which would make people feel stressed and annoyed.

As he gradually became familiar with it, he also learned about Huo Yan's past experiences, how he developed his current temperament, and what his biggest frustration was, so he went in the opposite direction, starting from adhering to his sense of boundaries. Until now, I don't think of him as an outsider at all. The unwillingness to accept others is self-protection due to fear of being abandoned by others, and is the psychological shadow left by being abandoned in the past.

And that kind of politeness when he is not needed will only make him more lonely. Simple acceptance cannot completely eliminate the shadow in his heart.

Then let him feel dependent and needed, which will give him a sense of security.

During dinner in the evening, Huo Yan was extremely low-key and didn't mention anything about booking and picking up a car. Ning Shuyi had no choice but to announce it for him.

Ning's father and Ning's mother are already at this age, and have richer life experiences, so they naturally live a more transparent life. When I heard that Huo Yan bought a car and gave the car key to Ning Shuyi, I kind of understood what he was doing. What is the original intention of doing it.

The old couple exchanged glances, neither saying too many polite words, trying to act natural and calm.

It's just that Ning's father looked at Huo Yan with a little more warmth, and Ning's mother didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she gave Huo Yan several extra dishes during the meal.

In the evening, Huo Yan helped Ning's father clean up and went back upstairs as usual. Ning Shuyi also wanted to rest, but Ning's mother called her to the living room and asked her to sit on the sofa. The old couple didn't watch TV and just stared at each other. she.

"What are you doing?" Ning Shuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and touched his face, "What new drama is on my face today? It makes you want to watch it so much!"

"Xiao Yi, you and Xiao Huo...?" Ning's mother asked curiously but cautiously.

"Me and him? Colleagues, friends, neighbors upstairs and downstairs." Ning Shuyi spread his hands.

Ning's mother casually grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it over: "You girl! You're pretending to be confused here again with me!
  There are so many colleagues in your unit, friends of all ages, and we have many neighbors upstairs and downstairs. How come I didn’t see anyone else because you didn’t have a mobility scooter, so you bought a car specially and gave you a key?

Does he...mean anything to you? "

"He saw that my dad had asked Nie Guang to spend the money for the car all by himself. He had been sulking for so long because of this, so he couldn't bear it, so he bought the car and gave me a key." Ning Shuyi He stated the reasons Huo Yan told him today, rubbed his chin, and looked at Ning's father, "According to your logic, he might have some interest in my father..."

Ning's father touched Ning's mother with his arm: "Give me that pillow, and let me hit this little girl who talks about running on trains too!"

Ning Shuyi burst out laughing and quickly apologized: "Don't! Didn't I just follow your dear wife's idea?
  Okay, let’s stop making trouble. I understand what you are saying. The current situation is that he has done all these things, but he has not said anything to me.

You ask me, am I unable to answer this question? "

Ning's mother opened her mouth and found that there was really no way to refute her daughter's words.

Father Ning sighed: "This young man Huo Yan is so nice! As for me, I am very, very satisfied with him.

He is tall, tall and well built, down-to-earth, hard-working and doesn't talk much. In my opinion, this is what a reliable man should look like!

But as for this matter, I think it’s useless, you have to make your own decision!
  Dad has told you this before. Although our family is not a wealthy family, we still have plenty to eat and drink. If you don’t care about someone at all, we can’t take advantage of them just because they treat you well. People are cheap.

If you don’t have any ideas, let me tell you, don’t drive Xiao Huo’s new car! Let's take a ride, and dad will give Xiao Huo some money to cheer him up later! "
