The correct posture of gratitude

When Fang Yu drove Chu Yan to his home, An Ning was already waiting outside the gate.

Instructing Fang Yu to park the car and leading the guests to the living room, An Zhiyuan was sitting on the sofa in the living room with an indifferent face.

"Dad, these are my friends, Chu Yan and Fang Yu. Chu Yan has been to our house before, you should know him?"

An Zhiyuan turned his head to look at An Ning, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Hello, Uncle An." Chu Yan didn't want to lose the basic etiquette.Fang Yu was not as well-mannered as him, and just stood aside quietly.

"Well, you guys sit down, I'll go to the company." An Zhiyuan said darkly, then got up and walked out.

Chu Yan thought he would stay here, staring at him and Fang Yu to keep them from talking nonsense, but he didn't expect him to really leave.

When An Zhiyuan walked past Fang Yu, he suddenly said: "Last time I talked with your dad about a project, I don't know what his opinion is, come here and I'll tell you the details, and you can help me convey it to him when you go back. .”

After An Zhiyuan finished speaking, he walked towards the outer door, Fang Yu raised an eyebrow at Chu Yan, and followed him out.

There is no business matter, you don't need to think about it, you know what An Zhiyuan wants to say to Fang Yu.

"You are willing to disregard the principles of nature and human relations, live your life regardless of your face, and don't drag others into the water. You see, he has a girlfriend now, and he will get married in a short time. If you are a man, don't meddle in it. What am I, An Zhiyuan? I'm sure you know more or less. Don't blame me for not reminding me if I was forced to do something like a dog jumping over the wall."

Fang Yu was twenty years old. Although he was married, had children, had a family and a job, he was still hot-blooded, and he couldn't stand such a positive threat.

He smiled and said to An Zhiyuan: "You see, why are you so disregarding your identity and calling yourself a dog? Besides, isn't it a bit forced to jump off the wall at your age?"

An Zhiyuan stared at Fang Yu's cheek with blade-like eyes.

Fang Yu didn't panic, and continued: "Don't be so worried, we are An Ning's friends, and I hope that his good intentions are not much worse than yours. Besides, not everyone will have the kind of self-righteousness to interfere in other people's love affairs Bad habit of freedom."

An Zhiyuan snorted coldly, and said: "I, An Zhiyuan, just let the word out here today, if you instigate him to do those messy things again, it depends on whether I can jump this wall!"

After speaking, the man left angrily.

Fang Yu stared at his back and watched him go away, scolding his ancestors all the time in his heart, and didn't care if it hurt An Ning.

Chu Yan and Fang Yu can spend the whole day with An Ning.

After the meal, we agreed to go to the upstairs room to play the game pk.

On the wall at the corner of the stairs was a large photo of a beautiful woman with a gentle smile.

An Ning introduced to the two: "This is my mother. She fell ill when I was nine years old and passed away within two years."

Chu Yan nodded. Of course he knew, not only did he know that the woman in the photo was An Ning's mother, but he also knew that she was once a well-educated lady, but she had a private life with the idle gangster An Zhiyuan. Regardless of the strong opposition of her family, she followed An Zhiyuan has lived through many years of hard times.

Later, An Zhiyuan became prosperous, but his enemies did not slacken. When An Ning was nine years old, he and his mother were kidnapped on a field road.Fortunately, Lin Cheng, who was 16 years old at the time, was by his side. In a crisis, he pulled An Ning and his mother out of the car and hid in the barren mountains. Finally, rescuers came to save them from greater danger.

But because of that time, An Ning's mother was greatly frightened, and her already weak body could not stand the toss, and she fell ill all of a sudden and couldn't get up again.

After that, Lin Cheng was valued by An Zhiyuan even more because of his contribution, and he was sent to the security school for more than half a year of solid training, and he brought him back to officially serve as An Ning's bodyguard.

The two got along day and night for many years, and gradually developed an extraordinary master-servant relationship. In the end, they were even more inseparable, until An Zhiyuan found out, beat the mandarin ducks with a stick, and separated for seven years. One ran away, and the other forgot the past. .

Because An Ning was closely guarded since she was a child, An Ning didn't have any close friends, so she later made friends with Chu Yan, and talked to him about those old things every chance she had.

Including the reason why Lin Cheng entered the house back then, the first ambiguous love between the two, the first kiss, the first in-depth contact, how Lin Cheng doted on him, how dignified the outside was, and the inside was sullen, tall and cautious...

Even if Chu Yan didn't want to hear anything at that time, An Ning filled his ears.

At this time, once An Ning mentioned it, everything rolled out.Turning his head to look at An Ning's lonely and thin figure, he felt like a big piece was missing, so that his whole body was no longer completely neat.

Maybe it was because he was too happy, Chu Yan looked at An Ning, thinking how could a person who lacked a lot of money still get happiness?

The three of them sat in a row, some were guarding the computer, some were holding an ipad, and Fang Yu sat on the sidelines watching the battle.

Seven years have passed, and the games have been updated, and they are no longer the ones they played before.

Fortunately, the Chinese people in the world are one family. Even though An Ning has been abroad these years, most of the games he plays are still popular domestic games. In addition, he and Chu Yan share similar tastes and hobbies, so naturally they hit it off.

One round ended and the next round started, Fang Yu was fine, those two guys who were addicted to the game were so excited as if they had taken drugs.

After several hours, the ipad in Chu Yan's hand was hot, Fang Yu pinched his neck and told him to stop.

"Okay, okay, we're both big and big, it's not good to be so obsessed, get up and move around, let's take An Ning out for a stroll."

Chu Yan made him feel comfortable, and agreed with her eyes closed.An Ning also stretched her waist, and sighed: "It feels like I haven't had such fun in a long time."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Chu Yan with his eyes closed, leaned over to lean on him, and said in an unusually enchanting tone: "Hey~ I don't know why, no matter how I look at it, I think you are very good, and it is very comfortable to be with you Do you think it is possible that I really had a crush on you before?"

Chu Yan opened his eyes and stared at him dazedly, and Fang Yu, who was rubbing his neck for him, also stopped.

An Ning turned her eyes to Fang Yu, and said provocatively, "Hey, why don't you give Chu Yan to me?"

Fang Yu's eyes widened, and he flatly refused: "Don't even think about it."

Chu Yan turned back and patted his hand: "An Ning is just joking, don't follow me blindly."

An Ning laughed loudly: "If it weren't for the fact that you are so loving that others can't get in the gap, I really don't know if I'm joking~"

Fang Yu didn't speak anymore, Chu Yan looked at the peace, but vaguely felt that he was a bit naughty and smart like before.

The three of them played around for a long time, discussing where to go for a stroll and eat.

"Haven't you been back once in so many years?" Chu Yan asked An Ning.

An Ning nodded: "No, you all know that I have been ill, but I haven't completely recovered. I have been seeing a psychologist over there for the past few years. Don't you know? My psychologist is a beautiful blonde with a pair of The blue eyes of the lake are beautiful."

Fang Yu said: "She is so beautiful and you haven't seen you fall in love with her?"

An Ning rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why are you thinking so obscenely? Do you have to fall in love with a beautiful woman? We are just a pure doctor-patient relationship."

Fang Yu said again: "You don't like people still praising their beauty so much? In my eyes, no one is as good-looking as my family, Chu Yan."

An Ning was so angry that he rolled his eyes, pulled Chu Yan and said: "I don't have a common language with you, no wonder I only invited you and didn't invite him to my house before! Let's go, let's go, ignore him... ..."

Fang Yu also hugged Chu Yan's waist and did not let go: "Hey~ This is my wife, why are you pulling him?"

Chu Yan was so confused by these two naive ghosts, he threw them out one by one, and said, "Is there anyone to solve the lunch? If no one can solve it, I will go out to find something to eat by myself!"

Fang Yu said: "If I were at home, I would make it for you. You know how delicious I cook, right?"

When An Ning heard this, he didn't have any cooking skills, and his aunt was newly hired in the past few years when he was away. The taste was not very good, and his eyes rolled around, and said: "There is a restaurant on Tuanjie Road that tastes delicious. Not bad, how about we go somewhere to eat?"

While talking, I heard someone calling An Ning downstairs: "A Ning, are you there? I'm coming!"

When the three of them heard that it was Zhang Hanxue, they all poked their heads out.

"Hey~ You guys are here too?" Zhang Hanxue was a little surprised after seeing Chu Yan and Fang Yu, although it seemed like she was pretending.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you went to learn flower arranging with Xiaoya?"

Zhang Hanxue leaned over and hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "I miss you!"

An Ning didn't refuse or show enthusiasm, she just said: "That's right, let's go out to eat together!"

Zhang Hanxue said: "Going out to eat again? Why don't you stay at home, and I'll make you Western food?"

Zhang Hanxue still has a little confidence in her western food skills.Back then, in order to go abroad to get closer to An Ning, her father specially found someone to train her specially.

Unexpectedly, An Ning said with a disinterested look: "I'm really fed up with eating every day abroad, Chinese food is still delicious, why don't you go to learn Chinese food someday?"

The attentive smile on Zhang Hanxue's small face suddenly froze, and she reluctantly agreed: "Oh!"

The four of them went out to eat, and wandered around by the way.An Ning has been abroad for several years, Chu Yan and Fang Yu don't often return to Lincheng, and most of them stay at home with their families when they come back, and rarely come out for such a stroll.

It's rare to have such a leisurely mood today. They went to see the urban changes in Lincheng in the past few years together, and talked about the unforgettable memories of their childhood.

Later, when they talked about each other's schools, they drove to the No. [-] Middle School where Chu Yan and Fang Yu were.The two talked to An Ning about the interesting things at school back then, and the relationship between the two of them because of repaying their kindness, and An Ning was envious and jealous.

Zhang Hanxue didn't run away from the dinner table this time, but kept following the three of them.

He still seemed not interested in their conversation, but was just trying to keep his spirits up. When Fang Yu and Chu Yan said these words, there was a look of disdain on his face. Although it was fleeting, Fang Yu still looked at it.

"Doesn't Ms. Zhang like to listen to the topics between us homosexuals? If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you ask An Ning to take you back?"

Zhang Hanxue was a little embarrassed, but she forced herself to cover up and said: "How could it be? I'm not that kind of layman, I can accept anything."

An Ning didn't play the role of a boyfriend throughout the whole process. When eating, she ate her own food, looked around, and recalled the vague old days, and even pretended that she didn't have such a female compatriot by her side.

At this time, after hearing what Fang Yu said, he finally turned his head and glanced at his girlfriend: "If you feel bored, take a taxi and go back! Go and go shopping with Xiaoya and the others."

Zhang Hanxue was obviously a little moved, but as if she had some concerns, she forced herself to persuade herself and shook her head: "No, I'm your girlfriend! I'm willing to follow you no matter what you do."

An Ning tilted her head to see that she didn't speak.

Zhang Hanxue was terrified by him, and repeated: "Really!"

Without saying a word, An Ning took her by the arm and walked to the side of the main road, waving to the taxi approaching in the distance.

Pushing Zhang Hanxue into the car, he took out a card from his wallet: "Go, go shopping, buy clothes and bags."

Zhang Hanxue took the card, leaned against the car window and asked again: "We have an appointment to go to the group tonight, will you go?"

An Ning shook her head: "I won't go, you guys have fun."

Zhang Hanxue pursed her lips and let out a resentful "Oh".

An Ning clapped her hands, turned around and walked back to Chu Yan and Fang Yu with ease.

Fang Yu smiled and said, "You used to like going to nightclubs, why have you changed your sex now?"

An Ning tilted her head and thought for a long time, and said, "Really? I don't have much impression. Anyway, I feel noisy and very irritable when I go now. It's better to stay at home alone."

Fang Yu asked him again: "Stay at home? What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of mold?"

An Ning shook her head and said, "Just listen to the music and go to sleep! Don't tell me, if you sleep soundly, you will have very sweet dreams!"

Fang Yu laughed at him: "What dream? Spring dream?"

An Ning suddenly blushed, obviously shy.

Fang Yu and Chu Yan glanced at each other, feeling amazed in their hearts. An Ning never knew how to write the word "shy" before.

After being ashamed, An Ning suddenly lowered her eyes again, and said, "It's not like I have sweet dreams every time. Sometimes I wake up crying when I fall asleep. When I wake up, I don't remember why I cried because of the dream. Anyway, I feel so uncomfortable that I will die. ..."

Fang Yu was silent for a while, not knowing how to answer.

An Ning smiled with the corners of his mouth up, and his smile was full of loneliness. He said, "I think, maybe during the period when I was sick, I lost something very, very precious, although I don't remember what it was."

Chu Yan watched from the side, and suddenly felt that his throat was choked by something.

**

The three of them wandered around following the footsteps of the past, and this time they went to the middle school where An Ning was.

The school gatekeeper here is not as easy to talk to as that of No. [-] Middle School. Even during the holidays, when no students are in class, they will not let them in.

The three had no choice but to give up. An Ning stood outside the campus gate, turning her head to look at the surrounding buildings, her eyes focused and blank.

"I remember..." he said as he walked unconsciously, turned around in a circle but didn't know which way to go: "I remember when I was in high school, I refused to live on campus, but it was too far away from home. , Dad arranged a place for me nearby... It seems that someone lived with me in that house at that time..."

Fang Yu and Chu Yan looked at each other, nervous for a while, Chu Yan tentatively asked him softly: "Then, do you remember who that person is?"

An Ning shook her head in doubt: "I don't remember, I feel like he should be a very familiar person, but I don't have the slightest impression..."

Chu Yan really wanted to mention something to him, but knowing that it would not be good to do so, he endured it for a long time, and stretched out his hand to hold Fang Yu's hand tightly.

Fang Yu gently shook him back, and then said to An Ning: "It's fine if you can't remember it for the time being, who hasn't forgotten things yet? What's more, you have been sick before! It's getting late, go to our house to see our son ah?"

An Ning is very interested in the children, she clamored to visit them when she came out of An's house, now that she got Fang Yu's invitation, she readily agreed.

But before getting into the car, he turned his head and carefully looked back at the surrounding buildings, but he still couldn't find the missing memory, so he had to give up.

**

It was already night when An's driver went to Fang Yu's house to pick An Ning home.

An Ning was still reluctant to part with her. She hugged the two friends from left to right by the gate, and said, "I had a very happy day today. I think this should be the happiest day I have ever had since I got sick. Thank you!"

Chu Yan patted his bony back to comfort him, while Fang Yu said: "Don't make it so gross, are you going to take advantage of my wife?"

An Ning pushed him away with a "cut", and said to Chu Yan: "Why did you find such a man as your husband? I'll wait, if you don't like him someday, come to me."

Chu Yan smiled at him, but didn't nod. He just said to An Ning: "If you feel unhappy, call me, or go to City A to find me."

An Ning nodded, and asked without giving up: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

Fang Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore, and stretched out his hand to pull Chu Yan's hand off: "Yes, yes, we are leaving tomorrow, so the big company is waiting for us to take care of it! It's not like Master An Are you so carefree every day?"

An Ning curled her lips at him and scolded him: "Stingy, jealous!"

Only then did he get back into the car and waved his hand to say goodbye to them.

Chu Yan waited until the buttocks of the car were no longer visible, then turned around and let Fang Yu lead him to the gate.

The two of them hadn't taken two steps when they suddenly heard someone calling them.

Both of them looked back in shock, only to see a person coming out of the shadow.

Not seeing each other for seven years, that person's originally dull face became more angular, as if it had been polished and sculpted by countless rains, snows, winds and frosts, vicissitudes of life, and it was as cold and hard as a sharp blade shining with cold light.
