Gu Yan had no chance to sleep on Shen Jinnian's bed today.

The baby also plays for a long time during the day and has no energy to pester the two of them to sleep together.

Gu Yan stood alone in the empty room facing the moonlight.

The cell phone on the bedside was vibrating.

Gu Yan's heart was nervous for a moment. After discovering that it was the neighbor upstairs who applied as a friend, his nervousness disappeared instantly.

He clicked through to apply.

Omega on the opposite side immediately sent a good evening emoji: "Hello Mr. Gu, we have cleaned up the water in the room. We have contacted the company to estimate the damage to the floor and furniture to be about [-] million yuan. …”

The price was completely unexpected by the neighbors.

He originally thought that his home was just some ordinary old-fashioned furniture, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

Unexpectedly, after people from the appraisal center came to check, they learned that it was indeed old furniture.

The furniture was older than his great-grandfather.

It can be regarded as an antique-level existence.

"Um...Mr. Gu, the decoration company negotiated that the maximum compensation is [-] yuan, and we need to make up the rest ourselves... You see, this is already nearly [-] million, and we won't be able to pay it back for a while... Can we pay it back in installments? For you?"

Gu Yan: "Just transfer me 4800."

Neighbor:"?"

Gu Yan said calmly: "You don't need to pay for the furniture. You will be responsible for the loss of the bathroom and the cost of cleaning."

In fact, he had already discovered that the water pipe upstairs was leaking.

When I entered the bathroom to take a shower, water was already flowing all over the floor.

But Gu Yan didn't say anything, silently turned on the faucet in the bathroom a little, and then took Shen Jinnian to eat at her aunt's house downstairs.

He even calculated.

Two hours is just right.

It can allow water to fill the room without leaking downstairs and affecting the normal life of the uncle and aunt downstairs.

The neighbor didn't understand what Gu Yan meant for a moment.

Two million is not a small amount, and antique furniture will appreciate in value in the future. Can he really forgive himself so easily?

Gu Yan gave a brief explanation: "The furniture has only been soaked for a short time, so there won't be any major problems. Don't worry."

The neighbor was still worried because he didn't have that much money, but he still felt sorry for him.

Gu Yan typed a reply to the other party.

If you really feel uneasy, you can do him a little favor.

"Just tell my partner that the house is being repaired."

The neighbor didn't understand but didn't dare to ask any more questions: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your understanding."

After saying that, transfer 4800 to him.

Gu Yan accepted it unceremoniously and deleted the neighbor.

I was thinking about ordering a bouquet of flowers for Shen Jinnian tomorrow.

It's a pity that the order was not made.

Neither of them knew how to grow flowers. The day after Shen Jinnian took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments, the bunch of peonies wilted and lost all its petals, leaving only the bare center.

The flower that symbolizes love withers, and the scene is particularly desolate.

Gu Yan suddenly felt that buying flowers was not a good thing.

After silently clearing away the flower petals on the ground, he put on his apron and went to make breakfast for Shen Jinnian.

It's rare for three people to eat at the same table in harmony.

Gu Yan hugged the child and said softly: "I have to go back to school today, from [-]:[-] to [-] p.m."

Shen Jinnian was still sleepy, but when he heard these words, he suddenly woke up and looked at the little boy worriedly: "Where is the child?"

"I would like to ask Aunt He to take care of me."

Shen Jinnian buried his head and took a bite of thick egg roast: "It's up to you."

The two hit it off.

The little cub was once again given to the aunt to take care of. Fortunately, it only lasted for two hours. He played and ate for a while and it passed in the blink of an eye.

But Gu Yan didn't come to pick him up in time.

While the man was in a meeting, he secretly texted Shen Jinnian: "Your last class is at [-]:[-], can we go back together to pick up the kids?"

Shen Jinnian did not reply.

But Gu Yan knew that this guy would definitely check his phone and see his messages.

It was already half past six after the meeting ended.

Thirty minutes longer than expected.

Gu Yan knew that Shen Jinnian was most unhappy with queuing and waiting for people, so he took the elevator straight to the first floor with some anxiety, passed through the sparse crowds on the road, and found a path that Shen Jinnian was most likely to pass by.

as predicted.

Shen Jinnian squatted on a small cobblestone road behind the green belt.

If the holly in the school hadn't been planted recently and its branches and leaves weren't very dense, he wouldn't have been able to spot Shen Jinnian hiding behind it.

However, after Gu Yan walked over, Shen Jinnian still did not move, and did not even notice his presence.

For a moment, I was a little curious as to what Shen Jinnian was thinking about, or why he had to tie his shoelaces with such concentration.

Gu Yan walked to the edge of the green plants and leaned slightly to look at Shen Jinnian.

The other person was not tying his shoes, nor was he in a daze.

Instead, he held a small handful of cat food in his palm, patiently waiting for the little stray cats around him to fill their stomachs.

The three little tabby cats looked to be only two months old and had just been weaned. Their bodies were round and round, and they were all begging for food in Shen Jinnian's hand with their heads buried in their hands.

While eating, he nuzzled Shen Jinnian's wrist or palm with his little head. At first glance, he was particularly trusting of Shen Jinnian.

Occasionally, Shen Jinnian reached out and gently scratched the kitten's back neck and chin with his fingertips.

The kitten meowed, and Shen Jinnian also laughed.

a quarter to seven.

The school street lights suddenly came on.

Shen Jinnian and the kittens are bathed in the warm yellow light beam, and the picture is harmonious and holy.

Gu Yan waited for a while and then quietly came up behind him: "Do you like cats?"

When the kitten heard the unfamiliar voice, it ran away, completely different from the way it treated Shen Jinnian.

Gu Yan scared the cat away.

Shen Jinnian was visibly unhappy.

He slowly stood up with his hands on his knees, resisting the soreness and numbness in his legs: "It's not bad, I had a white cat when I was a child."

"Why don't you take it home and raise it?" Gu Yan stepped forward to help him and continued.

Shen Jinnian put the remaining cat food back into the plastic bag and stuffed it into his side bag.

"Originally I planned to raise one." He even bought the cat food and waited to catch it. "But before picking up the cat, I picked up a child."

He didn't understand whether cats had any influence on children, and since the house was in chaos after picking up the child, he never had the energy to care about other things.

So I put the matter of raising cats on hold for the time being.

Gu Yan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then dismissed the matter.

"It's getting dark, let's go home first."

Shen Jinnian also had this intention.

After relieving the soreness and numbness in his legs, he and Gu Yan left the side door of the school one after another.

The two of them didn't much want to attract attention.

But sometimes some things just don’t happen if you don’t want them to.

Shen Jinnian also couldn't understand how they could still be captured in the same frame even though they were so far away.
