18     Take provocation

Xu Huaishen held her hand.

Gan Nian was stunned. The next second, he pulled her toward him and an electric car drove past her.

Xu Huaishen let go of his hand at the right time, unnaturally turned his eyes away, and said nothing, but his ears gradually turned red.

The girl's palms are thin and soft, completely different from those of a man's, so she is afraid that she will hurt her if she holds it tightly.

Gan Nian felt an electric current flowing from the palm of his hand to the heart, numb and numb, with a acceleration of his heartbeat.

It was probably because of the car that he subconsciously held her?

Otherwise, how to explain this behavior...

She glanced at him in the aftermath of her eyes and smiled quietly.

When they arrived at the restaurant where they were eating, the two sat down, and Xu Huaishen pushed the menu to her, "You can do it."

Gan Nian ordered a cheese rice cake hotpot and added half a Korean fried chicken.

She is greedy and loves to eat this fried chicken food.

After the dishes came, she scooped up a bowl of noodles and lowered her head to suck.

After she finished eating, she looked up and saw Xu Huaishen pushing the plate of fried chicken forward. He saw that he tore the chicken into several pieces, including a large piece of bone, and he also separated the meat and bones.

“Eat.”

He whispered.

Unexpectedly, when she was having a good meal just now, he was picking her bones. It was so considerate...

She took a bite of fried chicken and served with ice coke. She shook her legs with happiness and looked satisfied.

He looked up at her, pursed the corner of his lips, his eyes softer.

After dinner, the two walked to the cashier. Xu Huaishen scanned the payment code one step earlier and made up the money.

After leaving the store, Gan Nian said, “How much does this meal cost?

Let me and you AA."

"No."

"Oh, but..." Why did she feel embarrassed to let him treat him? Besides, she saw that he didn't eat much today, so she was basically just moving her chopsticks.

"It's okay, I'll treat you, don't give me money."

Xu Huaishen vaguely knew that Gan Nian's family's economic situation was average, and in his heart this was a gentleman's way.

Gan Nian had to compromise, "Then can I invite you to drink?"

You can't refuse this anymore."

Seeing that she was so persistent, he finally nodded.

The two took the bus and arrived in Jiangbin.

After getting off the bus, Gan Nian saw a milk tea shop next to the road, so she said she went to buy milk tea and let Xu Huaishen wait in place.

After Gan Nian finished buying it, when she walked back, she saw a strange girl next to Xu Huaishen.

The girl said something to her with her back, holding her cell phone in her hand.

Xu Huaishen was in place now and saw Gan Nian standing not far away with two cups in his hand, staring at them blankly.

He looked calm and said coldly to the girl who was chatting with him: "Sorry, I have a girlfriend."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight towards Gan Nian.

Gan Nian watched him walk up to her face, she blinked and asked tentatively: "Do you know that girl just now?"

"I don't know, I want the WeChat ID code."

He still told the truth.

"Oh..." She pretended to be indifferent: "Then... did you give it?"

“…What do you think?”

Gan Niannu nodded, thinking to herself why this person is so attracted to bees and butterflies outside, and you can meet the young lady who is chatting with you everywhere.

Seeing that she looked unhappy but wanted to pretend to be indifferent, he curled the corners of his mouth lightly and added: "I didn't give it."

After hearing this, she smiled with her lips and handed him the oolong tea in her hand: "Here."

"Thank you," he took it, "Let's go."

The two walked towards the riverside.

The sky is getting darker, and the street lights are lit at this time, and rows lead to endless distance.

Walking on the riverside, you can blow the cool autumn wind. A cargo ship drives from time to time on the river surface in the distance, and a specially designed wetland park along the coast.

Many adults and children will come here for a walk at night.

On the side of the road, there are carpets selling glow sticks and small toys, as well as ice water sellers.

Gan Nian and Xu Huaishen walked slowly in the wooden passage, Gan Nian said: "Xu Huaishen, what do you usually do at home on weekends?

Stay at home?"

"……almost."

She smiled, "Then why did you come out today?"

He paused, and before he could answer, the ringtone of his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was his mother's phone number.

His face darkened for a moment, but he still picked it up. Hong Xin's stern voice came from the other end: "Where have you gone?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

His attitude was colder than hers.

"Is this the attitude you are talking to your mother?

! I have been running out for so long, and I don’t know how to send a message. This is how you two make me worry all day long!"

Xu Huaishen frowned, "Don't always compare me with him."

Hong Xin took a deep breath, "...When will you go home?"

"Let's talk about it, I'm dead."

Gan Nian looked at Xu Huaishen after calling, and then changed his face and his stiff tone, which made people feel chill.

She heard a female voice on the other end of the phone, as if she was asking him when he would go home.

She whispered her lips and said softly: "What's wrong?

Is it your mom's phone number?"

Xu Huai was silent and thought his mother was urging him to go home, so he said, "Your family urged you to go back, so you can go back first. We can go around the riverside some other day."

He glanced at her and spoke slowly: "It's okay, keep going."

Gan Nian nodded and said nothing.

It just felt that Xu Huaishen became very depressed and dull. When she recalled the tone of his speech when his mother called him just now, she guessed... Is he a bad relationship with his mother?

Walking to a swing chair in front, she pulled his cuffs, "Let's take a break here?"

He nodded and the two sat down.

Gan Nian took a sip of milk tea, swept the milk cover on her lips with her tongue, and looked happy.

After drinking, she turned around and saw Xu Huaishen looking at her.

She leaned closer to him and blinked slyly, "Snap at me, am I caught?"

Seeing that he looked away unnaturally, she smiled even more happily, "Xu Huaishen, I find that sometimes you are quite cute, hehe."

“…”

"I mean, they all say you are cold, and I don't think so.

Sometimes, you will take the initiative to help me and teach me the questions. Anyway, you are very good in my heart."

He turned around and met her shiny eyes, Gan Nian said, "So I hope that you are so good to me, I can help you too.

I think you will laugh and be happy when I am by your side. I don’t want you to be unhappy.”

Xu Huai deeply understood what she meant, "I am in a bad mood, it has nothing to do with you... It's the reason for my family."

"Did you have a fight with your mom?"

He did not answer, and he did not know how to tell others about the scandals at home. In the eyes of outsiders, his family is rich, his family is happy, and his children are good at studying, which is enviable.

But in his heart, he didn't like this family at all, he felt tired and even wanted to escape.

Seeing his reaction, Gan Nian looked down at the milk tea in her hand, rubbed the wall of the cup, and told him about his family: "Actually, I am a reorganized family. My parents divorced very early, and later my mother took me to remarry.

At first I envied the children who had their own parents by my side, but later, I realized that I was also very happy in my new family and they were very nice to me. This is a new home that gave me warmth.
