The car passed the coastal highway. Anran turned her head to look out the window, the sparkling sea reflected in her eyes.
Just as she turned around excitedly to look at Jiang Huainian.
But I found that his slightly trembling hands were gripping the steering wheel tightly, as if he was suppressing some strong emotions, and his face turned a little pale.
"What's wrong with you?" An Ran noticed that Jiang Huainian was acting strangely and asked worriedly.
Jiang Huainian shook his head and tried to force a smile, "Nothing, I just remembered some things from the past." His voice was low and hoarse.
He didn't continue speaking, but An Ran could feel the heaviness and depression in him.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of the village.
"Boss, pull over here." An Ran pointed to the roadside.
Jiang Huai Nian slowed down the car, looked around the surroundings, and asked, "Are we there yet?"
An Ran shook her head. "Your car is too conspicuous. If the neighbors see it, they might gossip about it."
Jiang Huaian nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll listen to you." He responded gently and parked the car steadily at the location designated by An Ran.
An Ran unbuckled her seat belt and said to him, "Boss, wait for me."
Jiang Huai Nian nodded.
After getting off the car, Anran trotted back to the wonton shop.
"Mom, cook a bowl of shrimp wontons, and pack a box of shrimp wontons and a box of meat wontons." She said as she walked into the store.
An Yunxin was busy making wontons. When she heard her daughter's voice, she looked up and a kind smile appeared on her face.
She skillfully cooked the wontons according to An Ran's request, packed two servings of wontons, and asked curiously, "What do you want to do with this?"
An Ran took the wonton and explained with a smile: "My colleague gave me a ride back home, and I wanted to thank him with this."
After hearing this, An Yunxin immediately said, "You should invite your colleagues to the store. Wontons don't taste good if they're left out for too long."
"Parking is inconvenient in the village." Anran smiled.
"That's right." An Yunxin quickly cooked the wontons and packed them.
Anran walked out of the store briskly, carrying the wontons.
Back in the car, she handed the wontons to Jiang Huai Nian and said with a smile: “Boss, these are the wontons you thought were delicious last time.”
Jiang Huaian raised his eyebrows and took it.
"Eat it while it's hot." An Ran handed over another two boxes of wontons, "You can take these two boxes home and share them with your family."
"Okay." Jiang Huainian looked at the wontons in his hand and smiled.
An Ran handed him a spoon, and he took it and tasted the delicious wonton.
"It's delicious." Jiang Huainian nodded.
An Ran watched him eat with a smile on her face.
Soon the bowl of wontons was empty. Jiang Huainian put the empty bowl into the bag and wiped his mouth.
An Ran picked up the bag he had placed aside and reminded him, "Drive safely."
Jiang Huainian looked at her, a gentle smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded gently.
***
Holiday.
An Ran has been helping out in the wonton shop.
That day, Li Hao and Zhang Mingfeng came to the store.
"Hello, Auntie." Zhang Mingfeng greeted politely and handed over some carefully selected nutritional supplements with a gentle smile on his face.
An Yunxin smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I have a lot of nutritional supplements at home that I can't finish. You can bring them back later and I will cook wontons for you."
An Ran looked at Zhang Mingfeng in front of her, feeling somewhat helpless.
She didn't want Zhang Mingfeng to give too much for her. After all, there was no possibility between them.
But faced with his enthusiasm and politeness, she couldn't just chase him away.
An Ran smiled and said, "Brother Hao, you take care of Mr. Zhang, I'll be busy first."
Li Hao knew that An Ran was not attracted to him as a younger brother, but Zhang Mingfeng insisted on coming, so he had to accompany him.
He patted Zhang Mingfeng's shoulder gently, signaling him not to force it, then turned to An Ran and said, "We just stopped by to take a look."
An Ran nodded.
At this time, more and more customers came into the store, and Anran quickly turned around to get busy.
Seeing this, Li Hao and Zhang Mingfeng also took the initiative to help greet the guests.
After finishing for a while, An Yunxin pulled Li Hao aside and whispered.
"Ahao, you didn't tell Xiao Zhang, but..."
"Like I told you, Xiao Zhang is a bit stubborn. We who have served in the military tend to be persistent about the things we believe in." Li Hao smiled helplessly.
"Xiao Zhang is a really good kid, a down-to-earth person, but it's a pity that Ranran doesn't have that kind of interest in him." An Yunxin sighed, with a hint of regret in her tone.
In the following days, Zhang Mingfeng still arrived as scheduled every day and helped silently in the wonton shop.
His diligence won unanimous praise from customers.
An Ran took advantage of An Yun's distraction and said to him: "Xiao Zhang, actually I have someone I like."
Zhang Mingfeng was stunned for a moment, and the movements of his hands also paused.
He raised his head, looked into An Ran's clear eyes, and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I know you don't like me. I have nowhere to go even if I'm on vacation, so I can still help out here."
After An Ran talked with Zhang Mingfeng, he still came to the store to help every day.
His persistence made An Ran feel helpless.
***
10 month 7 day.
The last day of vacation.
It is also Jiang Huai’s birthday.
Anran took a bus back to her apartment in Shenzhen early.
With a nervous yet excited mood, I searched for cake-making tutorials on the Internet.
She read each step carefully, fearing that she would miss any key information.
During her first attempt, she burnt several cake bases because she failed to control the heat and time well.
After an afternoon of hard work, I finally baked a perfect cake base.
Anran carefully spread the cream evenly on the cake and then placed fresh fruits as decoration.
When the last step was completed, she glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was already seven o'clock.
At this moment, the phone vibrated slightly, and a message from Jiang Huai Nian came into view: "Expected to arrive at 8 o'clock."
Jiang Huaian doesn't like sweets, so she specially prepared longevity noodles.
When everything was ready, Anran sat on the sofa, waiting for Jiang Huaian nervously.
Ding-dong-
The doorbell rang, and Anran's heartbeat instantly accelerated.
She quickly stood up from the couch, took a few deep breaths to relieve her tension, and then walked to the door.
As soon as the door opens.
A strong smell of alcohol hit me in the face.
An Ran was stunned.
Wei Jingshen and the driver were supporting the drunk Jiang Huainian. His face was flushed, his eyes were closed, and he was drunk and unconscious.
"This guy wanted to run away as soon as he arrived at the birthday party. The other brothers were unwilling to let him go, so he ended up forcing a whole bottle of whiskey into his mouth," said Wei Jingshen.
He continued, "He can drink a bottle of alcohol, but today he drank too fast..."
Wei Jingshen put Jiang Huainian on An Ran's shoulder and said, "I'll leave him to you."
After saying that, he hurriedly took the driver and left, leaving An Ran and the drunk Jiang Huainian behind.
"Hello..." An Ran called out, but no one answered.
Jiang Huainian had completely lost consciousness, and his whole body lay weakly on An Ran.
An Ran was afraid that he would fall, so she subconsciously hugged him tightly.
Suddenly——
An Ran clearly felt a soft lip pressed against her shoulder...
That moment.
Her heart seemed to have missed a beat...
