five years later

After finishing Jianan's case, An Yuan finally had time to rest.It's just that whether it was intentional or unintentional, Liu Youxia has been so busy since the last intimate contact that didn't tear her face, like a spinning top, her family and company don't stop at both ends.

An Yuan drew circles on the desk calendar, thinking that it has been almost a week like this.

"Xiao An, do you have anything to do after get off work?" Sister Liu's voice came from the other side of the partition.

"Huh? It's okay, what's the matter, Sister Liu?" An Yuan came back to his senses, and dragged a chair closer to talk to her.

"It's not a big deal." Sister Liu is a beautiful woman. She is not a mature woman in her age, but she has cultivated to the top.The only downside is that if you don't gossip for a day, you will die.

"Then tell me how Sister Liu usually treats you?"

An Yuan felt that this was a trap, but he didn't dare not to accept it, so he could only blink and nod at her.

"You still have a little conscience." Sister Liu poked his forehead with her index finger, then pulled him closer and said in a low voice, "It's like this. I have something to do after get off work, so I want you to take it for me. Take the kids."

After hearing this, An Yuan immediately looked at her suspiciously, seeing that Sister Liu became angry and grabbed the back of his neck.

"The child is my nephew, what do you think!"

An Yuan shrugged, "I didn't think about anything, I just felt that it would be terrible and wasteful for a woman like you, Sister Liu, to step into the siege of marriage."

"Of course, the man who can marry me is probably not born yet." Sister Liu smiled smugly, and then remembered the business.

"Don't be nervous, just help take him to dinner, and I'll pick him up later."

An Yuan couldn't believe that he had earned a meal for nothing, he hesitated for a while and asked again: "That's it?"

Sister Liu patted his face, and said as if molesting her younger brother: "Otherwise? I have already booked the places to eat, so you can go to the coffee shop in front of our company to pick him up after get off work, and I will send you the address later." on the phone."

Unexpectedly, things turned out to be so simple, An Yuan temporarily forgot about Liu Youxia, thinking that he would not disappoint this free dinner.

"Ding--"

Sister Liu sent him the address.An Yuan opened it and saw that the place was not far away, but the name of the restaurant had never been heard before.

After get off work at five o'clock, An Yuan was reminded again by Sister Liu before leaving the office.He made an "OK" gesture to signal the other party to rest assured.

It was only when he entered the coffee shop that he realized that he didn't know what the child looked like, so he quickly took out his cell phone and called Sister Liu.

"Hey!"

An Yuan raised his head, and suddenly there was a boy who was a head shorter than him standing in front of him, staring at him impatiently.

"You are An Yuan?"

An Yuan put down his phone, and asked half hesitantly, "Are you Sister Liu's nephew?"

It's okay if you don't open your mouth, but the boy's eyes widened when he opened his mouth, wishing he could spew out a ball of fire and burn An Yuan to death.He pointed at An Yuan and scolded angrily: "She told you that I was her nephew? The ghost is her nephew! And what is your name, Sister Liu? Do you think you are very young?"

An Yuan looked around, his curious and gossip eyes made him a little uncomfortable.I didn't care so much all of a sudden, and directly dragged the person out.

"Okay, okay, I look old-fashioned, I shouldn't be called Sister Liu." He looked at the child with angry eyebrows, a little speechless and a little bit wanting to laugh. "I was wrong, I apologize to you, now we should go to eat, are you hungry?"

Hearing his apology, the boy relaxed a lot, straightened his wrinkled clothes because of the procrastination just now, and then walked forward like a gentleman.

An Yuan saw that he was watching at the door for a long time without speaking, so he asked, "What are you looking at? Are you waiting for someone?"

"Which car is yours?"

An Yuan was a little embarrassed, touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "I don't have a car."

"You don't have a car?! If we don't have a car, how are we going to eat there!"

His righteous roar attracted many passers-by to stop and watch. An Yuan sighed in his heart and dragged his little ancestor forward.

"I don't have a car, but I have money." He took out his mobile phone to take a taxi, muttering, "If it wasn't for Sister Liu's sake, I'd be stingy and let you go by, and how dare you laugh at me?" I."

The boy put his arms around his chest, looked at An Yuan and snorted twice.

He is still young, An Yuan will not care about him like this.It's just that this kid really deserved a beating, and he couldn't help but feel that this was a trap specially set by Sister Liu for him.

After waiting for a while, the car came.The boy stood on the side of the street without moving, until An Yuan stepped forward to open the car door for him, then rolled his eyes and got in.

An Yuan was stunned for a while, wondering who taught this kid and why he had such a bad temper.

"I'm starving to death, can't you come in?!"

An Yuan sighed in his heart again, thinking that the free meal is really not that easy to rub off on.

There was a traffic jam on the road for a while.In fact, for a while, the boy was cursing in the back seat, which made the driver in front unhappy.With a black face, he started to play music, and turned the volume to the maximum, directly suppressing his voice.

Only then did the boy stop, and only gouged Anyuan with resentful eyes from time to time.

An Yuan just closed his eyes and rested his mind, ignoring him.Boys of this age are full of energy, and he is not in the mood to say hello.

After getting off the car, it was already dark, and the two red lanterns hanging at the door of "Lotus Bird" were already lit.

The boy looked up and said, "She asked you to bring me here for dinner?" The words were asked, but he knew it clearly in his heart.

"Well, I'm a little hungry, let's go in." An Yuan walked in first, but he was really hungry.

The shop is brightly lit, but people are quiet.

When the waiter came to ask questions, his voice was lowered, as if he was afraid of disturbing other customers.

The two of them followed the waiter to the reserved box.In such a quiet environment, the boy finally calmed down.

When the waiter took the menu and closed the door, the boy relaxed, as if the reserved person before was not him.

"My name is Lu Siqi, your name is An Yuan?"

An Yuan nodded.

"Why does she have to work overtime after get off work, but you don't have to?"

An Yuan casually said: "Those who can do more work, people like me who can't even afford a car, of course have a lot of time."

Lu Siqi nodded, with a serious expression, as if he believed what he said.

The two were silent for a while, and the food was not served, Lu Siqi couldn't sit still.

"You will die if you say a word?"

An Yuan thinks that I won't die if I talk to you, but I really want to die when I talk to you.But Sister Liu's face still needs to be given, he thought about it, picked a question and threw it over.

"how old are you?"

"Sixteen. Why, do you feel that you are getting old?" Lu Siqi raised his chin to look at him, and An Yuan couldn't help laughing out from the smug expression on his face.

"What are you laughing at, what's so funny?!"

An Yuan lowered his head and pursed his lips into a smile, then looked at Lu Siqi with his chin resting on his hand.

"I didn't laugh at you, I just felt that I was really old."

His eyes were misty, and two small dimples appeared on the corners of his mouth because of this smile, so Lu Siqi forgot to blink.

After a long while, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva suddenly, and looked away embarrassedly.

An Yuan didn't notice his small thoughts, and asked again: "Just now you said that the ghost is Sister Liu's nephew, so what are you hers?"

Lu Siqi puffed out his chest, and said proudly: "I am her suitor, and I like her."

The boy's expression was very serious, and he didn't care about the astonishment on An Yuan's face.

"I know you all think this is a fantasy, but there is nothing wrong with liking someone. I don't think she is old, why do you all think I am young." After speaking, as if puzzled, Lu Siqi gritted his teeth and added another sentence : "Even she thinks so! Why on earth do you think this is?!"

An Yuan didn't know what to say. At this age, he was still fighting with his father to learn art, and he hadn't thought about what love was at all.Maybe it's because he's really old, the world is changing so fast, he doesn't even know that boys are like this now.

"Because you are really too young. Maybe you just want to have a beautiful relationship with a beautiful woman, but for her, love includes marriage.

Besides, by the time you get to her age, she's no longer pretty, and you'll still have plenty of opportunities. "

Lu Siqi was a little anxious by what he said, and quickly expressed his feelings: "I won't despise her! There's nothing to worry about."

An Yuan laughed, shook his head and said, "You are too young to know what time is. It is gentle and cruel, it can make you mature, and it also climbs the wrinkles around her eyes. Moreover, time is too slow, you The promises made will be covered with dust in these years, and then ferment and stink. Of course, this is not the saddest thing."

"Then what's the saddest thing?" Lu Siqi asked anxiously.

"The saddest thing," An Yuan smiled, "Of course you became enemies, not only loathing each other, but also abandoning the original love and affection together, and wishing that you never had it."

Lu Siqi looked at An Yuan with wide eyes, a little discouraged by what he said, and asked after a while, "Then what should I do?"

"Study hard, she will believe you when you become a mature and responsible man."

Lu Siqi stared at him suspiciously, "Then if she gets married, wouldn't I have no chance?"

An Yuan stroked his hair without saying a word, just squinted his eyes and smiled.

It's just that just as Lu Siqi was about to slap his hand off, the waiter came in to serve the food.So An Yuan smiled and put down his hand, pulling him closer.

The dishes are all elegant, but they don't seem to be enough to fill your stomach. Fortunately, the quantity wins, so An Yuan opened his mouth to eat.

Neither of them spoke during the meal, Lu Siqi was dictated by his tutor, while An Yuan was thinking about what he just said, and was a little lost in thought for a while, until Lu Siqi patted him for a while before he recovered.

"Hey, your phone rang, and you didn't answer for a long time, you're deaf." Lu Siqi cursed, but the hand holding the vegetables didn't stop.

An Yuan hurriedly took out his phone, and slightly bent his mouth when he saw who the contact person was.

He signaled to Lu Siqi to go out to answer the phone, but was waved away by the other party.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to return until very late today. Have you eaten yet?"

There was a little impatience in An Yuan's voice, but the expression on his face was passable. "I'm eating, what do you want?"

"It's okay, I just want to hear your voice."

An Yuan remained silent.

"Are you eating at home or outside? You have a bad stomach and can't eat too spicy food. Be careful when ordering."

An Yuan hummed lightly, and said, "Dining out with friends, if you have nothing to do, I'll hang up."

Liu Youxia over there also fell silent after hearing this, and said aloud after a while: "Where are you eating, I'll pick you up later."

"Aren't you going home late today, why did you come here to pick me up?"

Liu Youxia curled her lips, her voice was quite pitiful. "I haven't eaten yet, save some for me."

An Yuan was a little funny.

"Okay. I really didn't eat, or let Assistant Hu tell you?"

"The place is very remote, I don't know if you can find it."

After hearing what he said, Liu Youxia was so happy that he flew up, "I can't find a navigation, you can send me the address, and I will pick you up right away, um, let's have a meal first and then go home together."

An Yuan hung up the phone, stood against the wall for a while, and finally laughed.
