The rest of my life is no longer sad for you

Chapter 4: Time for a Flower to Bloom

Chapter 4 When a Flower Blooms

{"You don't want to plant flowers, you say, I don't want to see it wither a little bit. Yes, in order to avoid the end, you avoided the beginning of everything." But I missed the time when every flower bloomed with my heart, but I just met you. }
001
It was two hours after Shu Yan woke up, and the scenery outside the arched window was already shrouded in dusk.She asked the waiter to ask, but what she got was "Master Ning has already left", Shu Yan was stunned at that time, and on the way back, she scolded Ning Zechuan thousands of times in her heart.

When she got home, it was mostly dark. Walking in the unlit corridor, she tripped unluckily, and she blamed Ning Zechuan for the fall.She thought angrily, sure enough, people are not judged by their appearance, just looking at his appearance, how could she think that he is such a bad person.

Not keeping promises!

Pushing open the door, the room was as dark as the outside. While taking off her shoes, she yelled to the only lit kitchen: "Mom, I'm back."

In order to save electricity bills, the mother and daughter always turn on the lights wherever they are.When she was doing her homework in the room at night, her mother was sitting not far from her doing handwork.

When she walked to the kitchen, she found that her mother was not there, and there were cut vegetables on the cutting board. Shu Yan guessed that her mother must have encountered some emergency while cooking and went out.Shu Yan rolled up her sleeves, turned on the gas, and started to cook, her stir-frying posture was so skillful that she didn't look like a 16-year-old girl.Her parents were busy with work, and Shu Yan was often at home alone since she was a child. She learned to cook when she was just a little higher than the stove, and the meat and vegetables dishes were quickly served on the table.

Shu Yantuo sat at the table and waited for a while, the night was getting deeper and deeper outside the window, and the dishes were already cold.Shu Yan took the flashlight and planned to look for her mother nearby.

After searching all the way to the entrance of the village, Shu Yan couldn't help worrying about her mother, fearing that something might happen to her, and was thinking about calling the police when a black car stopped on the opposite side of the road not far away, and a person got out of it. .Shu Yan didn't associate that person with her mother, until the person crossed the road and walked up to her, she realized that it was her mother who she had been looking for for a long time. Ge asked: "Mom! Where have you been? Why didn't you leave me a note when you went out?"

Her mother held her in her arms, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yanyan, when I went out... I was in a hurry, so I forgot to leave a note for you."

"Don't do this next time, I will be scared, and I don't want you to... have any accidents."

The windows of the back seat of the black car were slowly lowered, and the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes watched the mother and daughter disappear into the narrow path without street lights, and sighed inaudibly.

After dinner, Shu Yan deliberately gave Shi Manli the snacks packed from the Xihe clubhouse. As she expected, her mother liked it very much, and said that it tasted like home.

It's a three-hour drive from her mother's hometown to the city where she grew up, and Shu Yan has been there twice.

Once when she was just born, she had no memory, and heard that her grandmother allowed her parents to sleep in the house for the sake of her face, and drove them away the next day.

Once, when she was seven years old and was about to go to primary school in the summer vacation, her grandmother drove her parents away and left her there to play for a month.At that time, she was just being naughty, and she just cared about climbing trees to catch birds and fishing in rivers all day long.Grandma bought a lot of these exquisite snacks for her, and she broke them into pieces to feed the chickens and ducks.

Now she regrets that she wasted so much, she sneaked a look at these snacks on the list of Xihe clubhouse in the afternoon, and the number on it made her drool several times.

Going downstairs to fetch water at night, Shu Yan borrowed the landlord's phone.

"Hey."

This time the call was answered quickly, but there was a moment of silence over there before he responded in a low voice: "Huh?"

The nasal voice was a bit fuzzy, as if it had just been awakened from sleep.

Shu Yan licked her lips, and said cautiously: "I'm Shu Yan, you're leaving first this afternoon, did you forget about your phone... the phone is really important to me, if you're not free, you can put it away Where is it, I'll go pick it up."

"Oh."

The other party responded lightly, breathing gradually and evenly, as if falling asleep.

Shu Yan waited for a long time but didn't get another word. She felt that Ning Zechuan definitely didn't want to pay her back, otherwise he wouldn't have just left in the afternoon. She said loudly into the microphone: " Don't you want to give it?"

"Why do you want it?" The other party's voice became clear, probably because he was completely woken up.

Shu Yan said speechlessly: "That's my dad's cell phone, why can't I have it?"

There were two laughs from the microphone that made Shu Yan very uncomfortable. Shu Yan could imagine the look of contempt on Ning Zechuan's indifferent face. Just as she was about to speak, Ning Zechuan said again: "When you buy a new phone Contact me again."

"Ah?" Shu Yan didn't react for a while, and heard that Ning Zechuan had hung up the phone, and immediately shouted, "What, what new phone?"

Ning Zechuan said impatiently: "Didn't you say that you would give me the exact same mobile phone as a reward? I'm not a good person, and you didn't do me any favors?"

"what?"

"Snapped."

Ning Zechuan dropped the phone this time.

Shu Yan held the microphone and thought about it in a daze, her face suddenly turned pale.

It seems that... I did say such things when I called him for the first time.

She was anxious at the time, afraid that the other party would hang up the phone, so she blurted out, but the price of a mobile phone was beyond her reach.

She was stupid for a long time before putting down the microphone, thinking about something in her mind, she even forgot to carry the water, and walked home with a dazed expression.

After taking a shower, my mother sat in the room doing handwork. The toys were brought from a nearby toy factory. My mother’s job was to cut off the excess thread from the toy. A toy that cleaned the thread could earn two cents.Shu Yan made a rough calculation in her mind, and the astronomical figures gave her such a headache that she gave up the idea of ​​doing handicrafts with her mother.

"It's so expensive?!"

Shu Yan crouched in front of the window, staring at the price tag under the phone, dumbfounded, and then hung her neck in frustration.

If I had known earlier, I would not have boasted about such a sea.

Reluctantly looking at the phone again, Shu Yan said to the boss behind the counter who was eating sunflower seeds: "Auntie, are you hiring an hourly worker to help?"

The boss glanced at the girl who was not much higher than the counter: "Come on, we don't employ child labor here."

"I'm an adult." Shu Yan lay down on the counter, pretending to be sincere and honest.

The boss was taken aback by her: "What are you doing, kid? Get up and play, I still have to do business."

"boss……"

"Shu Yan?"

Just as he was about to hug the boss's hand to drive her away, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Shu Yan froze, realizing that half of her body was lying on the counter, she slid down slowly, straightened the corner of her clothes, turned around and smiled: "Ou Zichen."

Ou Zichen frowned, glanced at her shirt stained with melon seeds, and said, "What are you doing?"

Shu Yan stood in front of the window, shook her head: "It's nothing."

Ou Zichen didn't believe her at all, he had seen her a long time ago, since she was lying on the window staring at the mobile phone inside, and finally escaped from her parents with the excuse of urgency, and saw her lying on the counter and pestering others.

Ignoring Shu Yan's behavior of trying to cover up, Ou Zichen took a few steps forward, took advantage of his height and looked into the window: "Do you want to buy a mobile phone?"

"I do not……"

"Doesn't your dad have a cell phone?"

Shu Yan pursed her lips and stopped talking, Ou Zichen couldn't be more familiar with that appearance, so she took out the wallet from her pocket and threw it into Shu Yan's arms: "Take it, the New Year's money collected for the New Year is not much, if it is not enough, I will... "

"I do not……"

"Ou Zichen!"

Shu Yan grabbed the wallet and was about to throw it back, when the dean's wife rushed over aggressively, her eyes turned around the two, landed on the wallet in Shu Yan's hand, turned around and slapped Ou Zichen on the head.

Ou Zichen scratched his head and shouted, "Mom, what are you doing?"

The dean's wife grabbed his ear and scolded: "You unfilial son! You used to take things, but now you just move the money out of the family! I raised you for nothing!"

"Mom! What are you talking about! This is what Shu Yan should take! Our family owes her!"

The dean's wife glanced at Shu Yan nervously, stomped her feet, turned her head and said angrily: "You! Shut up!"

Shu Yan stood aside clutching her wallet, a little at a loss, the scene in front of her overlapped with many similar scenes in her memory.

She moved to the family compound when she was 13 years old. The local accent is heavy, and her Mandarin is not standard. The children in the family compound who have played since they were young play together to laugh at her and imitate her speech. Only Ou Zichen is willing to play with her. Whoever bullied her, he immediately stood in front of her and acted fiercely.Ou Zichen is the principal's son, and those kids dare not offend him.Ou Zichen is tall and burly, but he is a nosy person, especially hers. Her family's conditions are not good, so Ou Zichen often takes his own things to her house.After the dean's wife found out about this, she couldn't bear to say anything about her, so she scolded Ou Zichen for being a good-hearted prodigal, and it was fine to save a kitten or dog, but now she has become a human being.In the most serious incident, the dean's wife chased Ou Zichen all over the yard with a broom, and Ou Zichen yelled as he ran, "Mom! I'm helping the weak, you should support me, the wheat milk hidden at home Let’s also contribute your essence.”

People in the family compound ran out to watch the fun, watching the mother and son leaning forward and back laughing.

At that time, the dean's wife was pretending and didn't make up her mind to beat her precious son, but Ou Zichen was hit by a garbage truck in the yard while escaping, and lay in the hospital for three months.

Later, Shuyan's mother took her to see Ou Zichen, the dean's wife stopped them outside the ward, and said to her mother: "Man Li, Zichen is too naughty, I can't teach my son well, I am incompetent, But your family, Shu Yan, has been sensible since she was a child, so she will stay away from Chen Chen."

Ou Zichen's kindness to her will make him very bad.Shu Yan understands this point, but no matter how hard she tries to avoid it, he will always find a way to find her, just like now.

"Auntie, Zichen..."

She yelled, and the mother and son were arguing so hard that no one noticed her.Shu Yan rubbed her nose, put her wallet on the counter, said hello to the boss who was watching the fun behind the counter, and left.

002
When I saw the text message sent by Shu Yan from an unfamiliar number, half a month had passed since the sending date.

"I'm Shuyan, I will definitely exchange a new phone with you, but it will take a long time, probably two months, please don't break the phone, and don't lose it, I will give you an extra storage fee Yes! Thank you very much!! Oh yes, if you need to contact me for anything, such as if you are in a good mood and ready to return my mobile phone... just call this number and tell him to find Shu Yan."

Ning Zechuan only glanced at it, then threw the phone under the bed, and pulled the quilt over his head.

The phone rolled a certain distance on the gray carpet and stopped when it hit the door frame wrapped in soft cloth.

Standing by the door frame that was being pushed open was a beautiful woman dressed in noble clothes. She was startled by the cell phone that was suddenly thrown over her, and after a moment of stunnedness, she frowned and said, "Ning Zechuan, what are you throwing your temper at?" ? The family teacher has asked your dad to resign, do you want to be sent outside by your dad like before?"

The bags piled up under the quilt on the bed did not move.

The beautiful woman hated iron and steel and reprimanded in a low voice: "Why did I give birth to you?"

The bag on the bed finally moved. Ning Zechuan lifted the quilt and smiled softly at the beautiful woman, showing his white teeth: "How did you give birth to me? Then I have to ask which quack doctor you asked for?" Drugs that don’t work.”

The beautiful woman's face blushed, perhaps because of guilt, or perhaps because of anger, and she was speechless for a while.Finally, when her face calmed down, she said to Ning Zechuan in a triumphant tone: "If you fail this entrance exam, I will propose to your father to send you to Zhoushan, the Ning family does not support idlers. "

The beautiful woman smiled, and the way she laughed was somewhat similar to Ning Zechuan's, with a sharp mockery.

When exiting the room, the beautiful woman saw the mobile phone on the ground, bent down to pick up the mobile phone and threw it into the nearby trash can.

The gray-toned room was quiet, and the smile on Ning Zechuan's face gradually retracted, forming an indifference at the corner of his mouth.

Gongyu walked in sideways from the door, looked at Ning Zechuan and paused for a moment with a solemn expression, he sat on the bed with a cynical smile on his face: "What's wrong with Zhoushan, Zhoushan is good, I'll go with you , to live a comfortable life of idle clouds and wild cranes."

"Gongyu!" Ning Zechuan interrupted him unhappily, looked at him, and said word by word, "You know, I will never let anyone look down on me."

"you……"

Shun Shun's messy sleeping hair, Ning Zechuan got out of bed and said, "I'm going out for a while."

"where to?"

Bare and thin feet stepped on the carpet, bent at the end of the bed, turned to the corner of the trash can, then bent to pick up the ill-fated cell phone lying inside, and softly replied: "Find someone to trouble you!" .”

The red brick factory located in the suburbs occupies more than ten acres of wasteland. The red bricks are piled into piles of half-person-high cubes, arranged regularly, and a little ahead is the brick kiln for firing bricks. The workers work in groups of two, pushing Carts full of red bricks that were stacked higher than themselves came out of the cave dwelling, and all of them were sweated by the high temperature inside the kiln.

Ning Zechuan frowned and stood by the dilapidated iron gate of the brick factory. Although he covered his nose with a black handkerchief, the strong chemical smell of the brick factory still made him feel unwell.

Gong Yu pinched her nose and asked in disbelief: "Is that girl really here?"

Ning Zechuan didn't speak, his dark eyes carefully scanned everyone who came out of the cave.

In the car just now, Ning Zechuan reported a mobile phone number for him to check. He fiddled with the phone for a long time, and the feedback he got was that this number belonged to the owner of a private red brick factory.

Ning Zechuan's expression turned ugly in an instant, and he told Gongyu Shuyan that he used this number to send text messages to him when it was almost time.

Gong Yu couldn't quite believe it, that little girl would be here... to work?
Suddenly, Ning Zechuan's expression changed, he took off his handkerchief and strode towards one of the cave dwellings.Gong Yu hurriedly followed, and saw Ning Zechuan throwing a person covered in red dust.

Gong Yu didn't even think about it, she caught it, lowered her head and bumped into those round almond eyes, after a long while, she couldn't believe it: "Shu Yan?"

She is actually here?

And made it look like this.

Shu Yan also recognized Gong Yu, before she had time to thank him, she struggled to stand up, wiped her face, turned around and shouted at Ning Zechuan: "You... what are you doing? It hurts so much, you know!"

Ning Zechuan saw her disheveled face covered in sweat, and the nameless fire in her heart suddenly seemed to be poured with oil, and it burned even more vigorously.

Gong Yu stepped forward: "Shu Yan, why are you here?"

Shu Yan turned to look at him: "I'm here to work."

"Are you short of money?" Gongyu raised an eyebrow.

Shu Yan glanced at the sullen Ning Zechuan: "Quiet, I want to buy a mobile phone and exchange it for my dad's one."

Now Gong Yu finally understood what was going on, it was Ning Zechuan who made things difficult for the little girl with the phone.He bumped the culprit with his elbow, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "Just tease her, let her run a few more times and let her fly a few more times, just teach her a lesson, and now, if something happens to her It won’t be easy.”

Ning Zechuan glanced at the girl who was drawing the yellow mud with her toes, and said three words: "Bo sympathy."

Gong Yu also looked at Shu Yan, touched her chin and said frankly: "I think, she doesn't have that IQ."

Ning Zechuan was silent. Just now he knew that the mobile phone number belonged to the brick factory and he was in a hurry. Now calm down and think about it, she did not disclose in the text message that she was working or where she was working. It was because he was in a bad mood and wanted to find her. After a troublesome meal, it was brought out that she was working in a brick factory.

After being silent for a while, Ning Zechuan walked towards Shu Yan a few steps, and stuffed something into her arms, Shu Yan hurriedly caught it, and looked down to see that it was her lost mobile phone.

"go home."

He ordered her in a deep voice.

Shu Yan held the phone in a daze for a while, thought for a while, then stuffed the phone into her pocket, as if she was afraid that he would repent and reach out to grab it, with one hand still tightly covering the pocket, she looked at him seriously and said : "Thank you, I will accept the mobile phone first, but we still have to keep what we agreed before. I will give you a new same mobile phone, and there is a storage fee." After speaking, he went to the brick kiln again.

Ning Zechuan quickly grabbed her with his eyes and said, "You can go to another place if you want to do a summer job."

"what?"

"Xihe clubhouse."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Yan immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I don't want to go."

As if he didn't expect her to refuse, Ning Zechuan frowned, looking very unhappy, as if he was about to come up and drag her away by the collar just like before.

"You can't force me." Shu Yan took a step back, and hastily increased her tone to emphasize.

Ning Zechuan was extremely impatient: "Go to Xihe."

Shu Yan said with certainty: "No, I'm right here."

Ning Zechuan's face turned cold, his bloodless thin lips were tightly pursed, and he just stared at her with downcast eyes.

The two stared at each other for a while, but she was finally defeated.

Shu Yan shrank her neck, surrendered and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go."

She finally found out that her aura would automatically drop a few degrees in front of Ning Zechuan. She thought it might be because Ning Zechuan was much taller than her. The height affected the aura and suppressed her.

At that time, Shu Yan was still young, and she didn't know her performance in front of Ning Zechuan until many years later, which was the so-called "everything in the world, one thing descends one thing".

Ning Zechuan, who won the momentum, turned his eyes away in satisfaction, turned and walked to the parked car outside.

003
Gongyu couldn't stay here for a long time, seeing that the two had reached a consensus, she hooked her neck in a good mood: "Let's go, go and report now."

"Let go, let go." Shu Yan was overwhelmed by his sudden hook, and almost lost her breath.

"Ah, I'm sorry," Gongyu raised her hands above her head and took a step back. Just as she was about to catch up with Ning Zechuan, she suddenly thought of something, leaned into Shu Yan's ear, and smiled treacherously, "Look at the score of our Yan Ruyu group. Now, let me remind you, go to Xihe, don't let our young master see you idle, our young master has a problem, that is, he can't see others comfortable, the more comfortable others are, the more unhappy he will be."

Shu Yan whispered: "Your young master is really a pervert..."

The boy who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and Shu Yan accidentally bumped into his bone-like back.

Ning Zechuan looked down at her, and opened and closed his thin lips with no expression on his face: "Bring the phone."

Shu Yan immediately protected her pocket: "You just gave it to me..."

He held out his hand to her: "I don't want to give it anymore."

Shu Yan clenched her fists and emphasized: "But this is my dad's phone!"

He was expressionless: "I gave it to Dr. Shu."

Not to be outdone, she said, "You gave it to my dad! My dad has used it for so long, it already belongs to him!"

He was still expressionless: "I bought it."

She was furious: "Do you know what it means to give! What you give as a gift to others, can it still be yours?"

He still had no expression on his face: "The money I spent."

She became angry from embarrassment: "...Ah, why don't you listen to others!"

Gongyu stood by the side of the road, watching the two people, one tall and one short, arguing, laughing and leaning forward.

The girl held her neck high like a little hen who would not admit defeat, flapping her wings to seek justice for herself.But the boy is unreasonable, even if she stomped her feet in anger, he didn't even change his face.

After arguing for a while, Young Master Ning gained the upper hand. Although he didn't ask for the phone back from Shu Yan's pocket, he got into the car with satisfaction.

Shu Yan quarreled with him, scratching her ears and cheeks in anger, grabbed Gong Yu and complained: "Your young master has always looked so cold?"

Gong Yu shook her head: "It wasn't before." She quickly added, "Believe me, you don't want to know the old him."

What was he like before?

Anyway, it won't be worse than now, Shu Yan thought.

That was many years later.

In the bar by the River Thames, Big Ben had just struck three times, and his dusty face appeared in the feasting lights. She felt that she was very drunk to see him.

She was so drunk that she couldn't see clearly, she walked towards him tremblingly, fell into his open arms, grabbed his collar, and asked him with tears in her eyes: "You hated me so much when we first met, We could have become two parallel lines, it was you... that brick factory, you could have ended up with me there, but why, why did you take me away? Why did you get closer and closer to me? Why did you end up with me again? So cruel? Ning Zechuan, I feel as if I'm going to die here," she grabbed his hand and placed it where her heart was, "I gave it to you, why did you accept it...but let It broke?"

The girl who had been reluctant to express her pain with tears since she was a child was crying in his arms until she lost consciousness.

He hugged her and couldn't say a word, the pain in his chest was overwhelming.

He didn't know why, he didn't know why he deliberately missed so many flowering seasons, but he happened to meet her.

She said she was in pain, why didn't he.

Mark Twain once said that the coldest winter is the summer in San Francisco.He didn't understand it when he was young, until the eight years in Tokyo, he understood that if you love someone but can't, it will be the coldest winter anywhere.

The winter in Tokyo is so cold, it's not as cold as he misses her heart.

But after so many years of wind, frost, rain and snow, in the end he only had one sentence to her: "I'm sorry."

Sorry, all wrong.

But he would rather be a despicable and selfish villain, and go to eighteen floors of purgatory after death, but also fight for the day and night with her.

The moment of holding her is like forever.

This summer vacation is destined to be rough for Shu Yan.

That day Ning Zechuan brought her to Xihe from the brick factory. As soon as she got out of the car, the car drove away. Ning Zechuan didn't explain anything. She stood alone at the door and didn't know whether to leave or stay. He ran out from inside, took her to wash, and changed into clean clothes.

Gu Taozhi is Xihe's foreman. Although she is young, she is already a girl who can deal with the rich and powerful in the upper class.

After Shu Yan officially started working, Gu Taozhi took care of her.

After working for half a month, Ning Zechuan came.

Gu Taozhi personally led her to deliver refreshments, it was the same room as last time, she stood behind Gu Taozhi, and after Gu Taozhi arranged the contents of a plate on the coffee table, she handed the plate in her hand to she.Ning Zechuan was half lying on the stone platform, holding a book and reading, if she hadn't caught a glimpse of him turning the pages of the book, she would have thought he was asleep.

After Gu Taozhi finished setting out the refreshments on the two plates, he gave Shu Yan a wink and signaled her to go out.

Shu Yan lowered her head, and when she retreated to the door, she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Snapped!"

The sudden sound surprised both Shu Yan and Gu Taozhi.

"Shu Yan, come here."

Shu Yan's face was almost wrinkled, but when she turned her head, she still put on an obedient smile, which fell into Ning Zechuan's eyes, and she could see her intention at a glance.

She said, "Is there anything wrong? If there is nothing important, I have to go to other things."

Ning Zechuan glanced at Gu Taozhi who was standing still: "Go down."

Gu Taozhi glanced at Shu Yan worriedly: "Yes."

The sliding door was pushed, Ning Zechuan looked at Shu Yan who was still standing there: "You don't seem to want to see me?"

"You misunderstood, I really have other things to do."

Shu Yan wanted to praise Ning Zechuan's self-knowledge, but she couldn't show it on the surface, which is really painful.

The series of rich psychological activities on her face have long been clearly seen by Ning Zechuan. Ning Zechuan has always been very confident in his ability to observe words and expressions, but when facing Shu Yan, his confidence in himself Doubts arose.

Sometimes he felt that this girl was really stupid, everything was written on her face.

Sometimes I feel that I can't see through her, or is she wearing a mask too well and hiding too deeply?
He doesn't think it's hard for a 16-year-old girl at all. He grew up in a place where 13-year-olds can laugh and watch him sink in the water, and change when adults come. Putting on another look of anxious self-blame, pushing the blame away completely.

Every time he sees Shu Yan, there are many question marks in his heart.

Why don't you cry?

It's her biological father, Dr. Shu is such a good person, how could she not have a single tear.

Is it really because the phone is so expensive and worth the money that I desperately want to get it back?
But why are you desperately working in a brick factory?

Is it to win his sympathy?

That girl's mind is too scary.

Shu Yan was still waiting for Ning Zechuan to speak, but he always cherished words like gold.

Seeing him slowly standing up and walking towards her, Shu Yan suddenly felt a sense of oppression, probably because he looked at her with unfriendly eyes.

The two met not long ago, but Ning Zechuan often looked at her like this. Every time she wanted to run away with her head in her arms, although she knew very well that she had done nothing wrong, it was because of this that she managed to straighten her back to face him.

He stopped at an arm's length away from her, picked up the blanket that was casually placed on the chair with two fingers, and threw it at her.

"Wipe the floor."

004
When Shu Yan lay down on the ground and wiped the floor carefully, she suddenly felt that the blanket Ning Zechuan gave her looked familiar. After wiping most of the room, she remembered that this blanket was used by Ning Zechuan to cover her legs last time, and she slept with it in her arms one afternoon.

She had a strange hunch that she was the one who turned the best woolen blanket into a rag.

Ning Zechuan had already put down the book in his hand. He wasn't reading at all, and with the cover of the book, he had been glancing at Shu Yan who was kneeling on the ground working from the corner of his eye.

The overalls were too big for her, and her head was buried very low. He could only see her forehead with a few pimples and slightly drooping eyelashes.He watched her wipe every corner carefully without a single complaint, and beads of sweat covered her forehead bit by bit.

The way she worked hard was very similar to Dr. Shu, which made him deeply moved.

He was waiting for her to get tired of arguing with him and tear off her hypocrisy, but she didn't.

After wiping the whole house, she respectfully said to Ning Zechuan, "Master Ning, the floor is clean."

Ning Zechuan, who had been lying on the stone platform reading a book, glanced slowly, and let out a soft "hmm" from his throat.

Shu Yan was about to ask for an amnesty, but before she opened her mouth, Ning Zechuan said flatly, "The cups on the counter have been left for too long, take them all out and wash them."

Shu Yan endured it, didn't say anything, turned around and went to the bar to clear out all the glasses one by one.

Every room in the Xihe clubhouse would be cleaned every day even if no guests came, no matter how stupid she was, she could see that Ning Zechuan did it on purpose, the purpose was to enslave her.

Just as Gong Yu pushed open the sliding door, she happened to see Shu Yan walking out with a large basket of cups in her arms, so she gave her a hand. Shu Yan smiled and said "thank you" and left.Gong Yu kept watching her go away, and then walked into the room, teasing: "Shu Yan works very neatly, look at this floor, tsk tsk, it must be waxed, it can be used as a mirror."

That whole afternoon, Shu Yan wiped the room three times, washed the cups twice, watered and turned up the two pots of green radishes on the window sill, and finally she sat on the low stool by the stone platform and watched for Ning Zechuan. Crickets dressed in glassware.Gongyu sat on the stone platform poking her head, directing her in a manner.

"Take it easy, take it easy, you're going to poke them to death, are you a girl, you're so ruthless?"

"Legs and legs! My little aunt, I have worked so hard to catch this. If you are missing an arm or a leg, I will fight you desperately."

"Well, yes, that's it."

Shu Yan sincerely felt that the crickets were not as noisy as him, and in the end Ning Zechuan drove him out with a bad face.

When only she and Ning Zechuan were left in the room, and the atmosphere became a little weird and uncomfortable, Gu Taozhi came, put a bowl of medicine on the tea table in front of Ning Zechuan, and said, "Master Ning, Mr. Jiang ordered the medicine to be delivered."

Ning Zechuan acted as if he didn't hear it, and didn't even raise his eyelids.

Gu Taozhi stood there in embarrassment, neither leaving nor urging, she was entrusted by Mr. Jiang to watch Ning Zechuan drink the medicine and return to his life.

Shu Yan's eyes flicked around Gu Taozhi and Ning Zechuan from time to time. She actually understood Ning Zechuan's reluctance to drink the medicine. She drank the medicine by mistake once, and the taste could no longer be described as unpleasant.She also drank traditional Chinese medicine when she was sick when she was a child, and she didn't like to drink it, but in order to please her father, she acted like she liked it very much.

Ning Zechuan, who would he drink medicine to please?

Suddenly, she thought of someone.

Shu Yan glanced at him, and casually poked the cricket with a bamboo stick: "My dad used to be your attending doctor, I remember, after he came here, you are the only patient."

Ning Zechuan only reads the books of sages and sages with all his heart, but he doesn't hear anything outside the window.

Shu Yan was not in a hurry, she looked at the medicine on the table and sighed softly: "You may not know, my dad loves you, and he has tried his best to cure you, forgetting to eat and sleep, how hard it is, but he always Not here, you don't even drink the medicine, alas... It really wasted all my father's painstaking efforts."

"Snapped."

Ning Zechuan dropped the book and looked at Shuyan viciously. Gu Taozhi quickly brought the medicine to him with a knowing look.

Shu Yan blinked at the dumbfounded Gu Taozhi, Gu Taozhi looked at her with complicated eyes, but Shu Yan didn't notice it, and praised the cricket: "Well, you're so good!"

Ning Zechuan couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered Shuyan to say, "Go to the public restroom outside and empty the toilet!"

Shu Yan said "Oh" and was about to go, when she reached the door, she suddenly turned around, touched her head and asked shamelessly, "Why is the toilet empty?"

"Brush it!"

When Shu Yan returned after cleaning the toilet in the public bathroom, Ning Zechuan had already left.

Looking at the empty room, she didn't know why, but suddenly felt empty in her heart.Back to the back room to rest, Gu Taozhi and several other employees were also there.

"Miss Peach."

Shu Yan greeted her.

Gu Taozhi pulled her aside and massaged her shoulders: "The shoulders are very sore... why did you go to clean the toilet? Aren't you friends with Young Master Ning?"

Shu Yan's eyes widened: "Who is friends with him?"

"You are the first person to let Young Master Ning drink the medicine so easily. He is willing to listen to you. What is it if you are not a friend?"

Shu Yan waved her hand: "No, he's just doing it for my dad's sake."

Gu Taozhi said "Oh": "Listen to what you just said... so your father is Dr. Shu Xiaoguang?"

She was by Mr. Jiang's side, so she had heard a lot about Dr. Shu's deeds, including the previous accident that caused a lot of trouble in the city.Ning Zechuan has a weird temper, even Mr. Jiang can't deal with him, but he listens to Dr. Shu Xiaoguang the most.

"Yeah." Mentioning her father, Shu Yan felt a little depressed.

Gu Taozhi patted her on the shoulder: "Your father is a great person."

Shu Yan smiled: "Thank you, Sister Taozi."

The two were silent for a while, and Gu Taozhi said again: "You, don't get angry with the young master, Dr. Shu is his benefactor, he will treat you well."

Shu Yan murmured disapprovingly: "My dad is my dad, and I am me. They can't be confused. Sister Taozi, why do you keep calling him Young Master Ning? Isn't that the mayor's eldest son who came here a few days ago? I haven't seen him either." Who called him young master."

Gu Taozhi explained to her with a smile: "It's different, the owner of the Xihe clubhouse is Mr. Jiang, and Master Ning is Mr. Jiang's son, and he is the half owner of Xihe."

Shu Yan suddenly realized that she thought that Ning Zechuan was a senior customer here, just like a VIP, so everyone respected him very much, but it turned out that he was the boss' son, the little boss.Now it makes sense.

She suddenly realized a question: "Hey, Young Master Ning is Mr. Jiang's son. Doesn't Ning Zechuan have the same surname as his father?"

Are parents divorced and remarried?
Gu Taozhi said "hmm".

"What about Gongyu?"

"Gong Yu is the child of Master Ning's housekeeper, and grew up with Master Ning."

Shu Yan nodded, feeling something was wrong in her heart, Gongyu and Ning Zechuan acted in front of her, but it was not like a master-servant relationship at all.

After knowing Ning Zechuan's identity, Shu Yan only hoped to meet this little ancestor less.

It's a pity that the sky didn't come true, and after that, Ning Zechuan went to Xihe more often, first every five days, then every three days, and finally every day.

Every time he came, he would call Shu Yan over to order him around, and then he didn’t need to call him anymore. Every day, Shu Yan waited for him in the room with a woolen rag. He yelled "Master is good", and then consciously started to clean up. After Gu Taozhi delivered the medicine, Shuyan didn't say a word, just imitated Ning Zechuan and stared at him sadly with a pair of misty eyes. That face resembled Shu Xiaoguang's, as if Dr. Shu Xiaoguang would appear in the next second, muttering in his ear.When Ning Zechuan was bored by being watched, he would drink down every drop of the medicine.

In fact, Shu Yan didn't know why she cared so much about whether Ning Zechuan took the medicine or not, but the skinny boy in the blue hospital gown she saw in the hospital was too shocking, she was worried that he would ruin it if he didn't take the medicine properly The body, and turned into that appearance again, the sterile ward that was not allowed to visit, several life-sustaining tubes, those pictures, she felt terrible when she thought about them.

At that time, she would not know that the special affection she had for Ning Zechuan when she was young had subtly affected her whole life.

In this life, if he is well, she doesn't care, and she can be a stranger thousands of miles away from him with peace of mind.

What she cares about is that he is not good, which makes her feel like a hundred ants devouring her heart, making her restless day and night.
