29     Down laughter

When Gan Nian heard this, she paused and then stepped closer to him, looking up at him, and a fox-like smile flashed in her clear eyebrows and eyes: "Of course, if you don't stick to you, who will you stick to?"

She was even more shy and reserved in front of outsiders, but once she was alone with him, she would say nothing and say anything.

The sweet smell and soft voice on her body made Xu Huaishen's heart feel hot again. He restrained his emotions, pretended to be indifferent, turned around and walked towards the cashier. Gan Nian smiled and followed.

After the two of them bought the water, they saw a strange girl on the dining table.

The girl was burning the big waves, wearing a leather jacket and a miniskirt, holding a cigarette in her hands, and a little bit of clouds spit out from her red lips, sexy and charming.

The girl's eyes fell on Gan Nian and Xu Huaisan and gently curled the corners of her mouth.

Qiu Luo introduced: "This is also a friend of mine, named Yinglei.

Ying Lei is my sister, Gan Nian, and her friend Xu Huaishen.”

Ying Lei bent the corner of her mouth and looked at Xu Huaishen, with a different meaning in her eyes: "Well, I have heard of the name Xu Huaishen. It's really handsome. No wonder girls like it."

Everyone here was stunned when they heard this, only Xu Huaishen's eyes were still cold, and he saw that he had no intention of answering Lei's words.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Qiu Luo quickly smoothed out: "Come on, sit down, you have been there for so long."

Gan Nian sat next to Ying Lei, and Xu Huaishen was on his right.

After the barbecue came on, Qiu Luo pushed the plate to Gan Nian, "Eat it, order more if you don't have enough."

Xu Huaishen tore open the disposable chopstick packaging, grind the wood chips, and then put them in Gan Nian's hand. Gan Nian smiled and said thank you.

This thoughtful scene was seen by the other four people. Qiu Luo and others shook their heads with a smile, while Ying Lei seemed to be smiling, but she looked at Xu Huaishen more.

Gan Nian must have felt uncomfortable. She couldn't notice that Ying Lei had any thoughts about Xu Huaishen, but Ying Lei's eyes always crossed her and looked at Xu Huaishen, as if her own things were being missed.

But she could see Xu Huaishen's attitude and felt much more relieved.

Gradually, Qiu Luo and the others started chatting, and she just turned into transparent and ate slowly.

She ate the beef skewers and saw that Xu Huaishen had basically not moved his chopsticks. She asked in confusion: "Why don't you eat it?"

His eyes fell on her lips, then he sucked a piece of paper and handed it to her. Gan Nian hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

His head slightly moved to her ear, "What else do you want to eat?"

Gan Nian licked her lips and muttered softly: "That roasted corn is so delicious..."

He gradually raised his lips and was about to get up to help her get it, she grabbed his sleeve, "No need, I'll just go by myself."

Qiu Luo noticed and said, "If you want to eat, go get it and get a few more baked steamed buns."

Gan Nian nodded and stood up, Ying Lei also stood up at this time, "Let's go together?"

Gan Nian was stunned for a moment and said nothing.

When the two of them went to the ingredient area, Ying Lei suddenly approached her and chuckled twice: "I really didn't expect that the first girl who walked to Xu Huaishen would be like you."

Gan Nian frowned and heard Ying Lei continue, "I thought he would like that kind of good girl or... he wouldn't have an early love."

"Do you know him very well?"

I miss you coldly.

Ying Lei smiled even more clearly, "As long as girls in love will be wary of all the opposite sexes around you?"

Don't think too much, I'm not interested in Xu Huaishen's style, a nerd."

Gan Nian was a little angry and wanted to laugh. She found that Ying Lei was quite fun to speak, and her personality seemed to be more ostentatious than hers.

"Then why do you say that?"

She asked.

Ying Lei took a few strings of baby cabbage and put them in Gan Nian's basket and said, "Actually, I've been a neighbor with him for a while. I have a good impression of him, but I guess he doesn't remember it."

"Neighbor?"

"Well, it seems that when I was in the first grade of junior high school, my parents always used him as a role model to teach me. Every day, they talked about Xu Huaishen, who was from the neighbor's house, who got the first place in the year and won the award again, so I did whatever it was.

Later, during the Chinese New Year, I visited their house. At that time, Xu Huaishen had this cold personality, but he was quite handsome.

But he has become a psychological shadow of me. I hated him at that time and it was too late.

Later, I saw him occasionally in No. 1 Middle School.”

Gan Nian smiled, "This is a coincidence. It turns out that he had this kind of personality before."

"It is precisely this kind of personality that has been loved by girls since childhood, but he ignored it. I didn't realize any intimate actions he had with any girl."

Ying Lei chewed chewing gum in her mouth and quietly said to Gan Nian's ear: "His parents seem to have a bad relationship and often quarrel. I don't know how it is now..."

Gan Nian heard him say this in person, and she nodded and didn't want to ask more questions.

Ying Lei patted Gan Nian's arm, "Actually, you two are quite compatible."

"We're not together yet..."

Ying Lei curled her lips, "Yes, good students don't fall in love early.

But love is coming, no one can stop it.”

She blinked at Gan Nian and left.

Gan Nian sent the ingredients to the boss and returned to the table.

Later, Gan Nian had almost finished eating, so she pulled Xu Huaishen's hand under the table, "I'm fine, should we leave first?"

He nodded, and Gan Nian told the others that he would go back first. Qiu Luo looked at Xu Huaishen with Gan Nian and was relieved to let them leave first. Qiu Luo and the others probably didn't have that fast, and it might not be necessary whether they would go back to school tonight.

Gan Nian waved at Ying Lei, and Ying Lei also smiled.

The two walked away from the night market and the surroundings gradually became quiet.

Gan Nian said with satisfaction: "I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time, I'm satisfied."

But she found that he was eating very little, so she asked, "Do you don't like eating this?"

His eyes were glossed and his tone was calm: "In the past, my family didn't let me eat much, so I didn't eat very little."

Gan Nian noticed that he had the student street he went to last time in the night market. This place with many people but not very hygienic places, so he showed a slight obsession with cleanliness.

Gan Nian suddenly felt guilty and said softly: "I'm sorry, I'll take you out for midnight snacks. If you don't like these places in the future, remember to tell me that we won't come."

He looked at her sideways, and a little softer added to his shallow eyes, "It's okay, just be fine if you eat enough."

He didn't need to be willing to compromise for him, and he was willing to go with her.

Gan Nian nodded, “Didn’t you say you didn’t eat supper?

So should we buy something else?”

He silently said, “…No need.”

"But you didn't eat much?"

Her eyes turned and suddenly realized something. She smiled proudly and walked to him: "Oh~ I understand, you are here because I am coming, right?"

She pestered him and wanted to know the answer, so he had to admit, "It's a bit dangerous for you, a girl, to come out so late. After passing the access control, what if you just climbed over the wall and just happened to be caught by the teacher?"

"But Qiu Luo is here, I'm not the only one."

His eyes gradually became darker, and after a while, two words came out of his throat: "I'm not relieved."

She smiled with satisfaction, her eyes lit up, "Okay, I promise you that I won't run out alone so late in the future. If I want to come out, I will definitely tell you."

She didn't expect that Xu Huaishen admitted his concern for her. She thought he always kept silent, but today she told the truth.

Keep moving forward, she became happy and began to ask him various questions: "By the way, do you have an impression of Lei?"

"What's wrong?"

"Ying Lei just told me that you and her were neighbors when they were junior high school, and she still remembers you."

He thought for a few seconds and said, "I have a vague impression."

"She said you were the 'other child' as your parents said at that time. It seems that you have always been the image of a top student in everyone's heart."

He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked her, "What about in your heart?"

Gan Nian was stunned at first, and a smile immediately rose from the corner of her mouth, as if she was talking about tongue twisters again, "You are in my heart. First, you must be very smart and good at studying. I can ask you any questions I don't know. Second, you are sometimes quite cold, but you give me a very heartwarming feeling.

The you in their eyes are not the you in my eyes.

But you in my eyes are the real you."

The closer she got to him, the more she saw his unknown side.

He was slightly stunned, looking at her eyes as quiet as the abyss, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

The two walked to the school gate and were indeed closed. Gan Nian asked him what to do.

He took her to the back door, which was just locked by a chain, and there was a high platform made of stones next to it. If you stepped on it, you could climb over the wall with your hands.

"I'll go there first."

He turned over with ease, "Come here."
