Chapter 198: Chapter 198 : Are You Familiar With Yan Lui?
The four of them were eating melon seeds, chatting while eating snacks, and drinking water.
Midway, Gu Nian went to the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Chi Yiheng at the door.
Thinking that she wanted to be convenient, she stepped out of the way. Just as she was about to return to the carriage, she was stopped by Chi Yiheng: "Gu Nian."
Gu Nian stopped and turned to look at him.
Chi Yiheng thought about it and said, "What did I do wrong? Your attitude towards me seems to have changed."
"Yes?" Gu Nian was stunned, "No, there's nothing you didn't do well."
Chi Yiheng frowned slightly: "But before, even if you liked Chu Zhaoyang and didn't accept me, you were not so alienated from me. Now, you seem to hate me and build a wall in front of us."
Gu Nian didn't expect that he would show it so obviously and Chi Yiheng would see it.
She smiled: "No, you are overthinking. But now that I am with Chu Zhaoyang, I should avoid getting into trouble with others to avoid misunderstandings."
"I admit, I still like you, but I won't pester you. I know you are with Chu Zhaoyang, and I just want to be your friend. If there is anything I can do to help, I will help. That's all. Don't push me away, just treat me like a friend, okay?" Chi Yiheng said softly.
Gu Nian only felt ironic in her heart. If she hadn't heard what he said to Yan Lui, she might really feel guilty at this time.
"I heard everything." Gu Nian whispered.
"What?" Chi Yiheng was stunned.
"I heard everything you said to Yan Lui." Gu Nian looked at Chi Yiheng, a little embarrassed, "You said it was to help him keep an eye on me and prevent me from talking to others..."
It felt embarrassing to repeat it like this.
It was as if she was really Yan Lui, and she couldn't bear the loneliness when Yan Lui was not around.
Chi Yiheng opened his mouth, but he didn't expect Gu Nian to hear him.
"I..." Chi Yiheng said.
Gu Nian smiled slightly and interrupted: "I don't blame you, I just feel a little embarrassed. I really felt guilty for not being able to respond to you at the time, but later I realized that there was no need for it."
Gu Nian sighed: "Let this matter go. I still regard you as a friend, but you don't have to tell me that you like me. I don't understand. I am already with Chu Zhaoyang, and you don't really like me. What's the point of telling me this now? Do you think you can deceive me and then give me to Yan Lui?"
Gu Nian felt that these two people were extremely boring.
What did they take her for?
Commodities?
She felt disgusted by what they were doing.
Chi Yiheng's expression darkened and he said softly: "I'm sorry, but what you heard at that time was not my true thoughts. Yes, Yan Lui asked me to help before he left, to take more care of you and to protect you from other men. But in fact, I have always liked you in my heart. It was me who was despicable and deceived Yan Lui. Although I clearly liked you, I did not tell him and pretended to help him. "
"If I lied to anyone, it was Yan Lui. I didn't lie to you." Chi Yiheng explained, "I would tell Yan Lui like that just... I didn't want him to know what I was thinking about you. Since you are already with Chu Zhaoyang, so there is no need for me to let Yan Lui know how I feel about you."
"Are you familiar with Yan Lui?" Gu Nian asked strangely.
"Well, actually we knew each other before Yan Lui was admitted to the police academy. We just wanted to avoid suspicion, so we didn't have much contact in school." Chi Yiheng explained.
Gu Nian always felt like there was something strange, but couldn't put it in words.
Gu Nian didn't respond to him. She just nodded lightly and turned to leave.
Chi Yiheng looked at Gu Nian's back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Do you really have a good relationship with Chu Zhaoyang?

Later, Chen Yuzheng got out of the car first.
Chi Yiheng got off the bus one stop earlier than them. Before Chi Yiheng got off the bus, Mu Lanshu extended another invitation to Chi Yiheng.
Chi Yiheng glanced at Gu Nian, smiled and nodded: "If Gu Nian welcomes me, I will definitely go."
"She will definitely welcome you!" Mu Lanshu said quickly.
Chi Yiheng smiled and said goodbye to them.
After getting off the train, Chi Yiheng did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood outside the window of Mu Lanshu and Gu Nian and waved to them until the train slowly started to start again.
Mu Lanshu sighed: "Chi Yiheng is really a good kid."
She gave Gu Nian a pointed look, "I don't know which girl will be lucky enough to be with him in the future."
It's not her anyway, Gu Nian thought lightly. She didn't answer Mu Lanshu's words, and her thoughts were on Chu Zhaoyang.
She logged into WeChat and there was no information about Chu Zhaoyang.
Gu Nian smiled to herself, she didn't feel disappointed now.
***
Gu Nian and Mu Lanshu arrived at the station. Mu Lanshu's younger brother, Gu Nian's uncle, Mu Dingjie was already waiting to pick them up at the exit.
Seeing Mu Lanshu, he smiled and waved: "Sister."
Mu Lanshu hurried forward, and Mu Dingjie took the big and small bags from Gu Nian's hand and said, "Why do you bring so many things back? You bring so much every year, not to mention spending so much money, and you are still so tired."
"I can't be filial to my parents, so I can only buy more things when I come back every year," Mu Lanshu said.
"Sister, please don't say that. I am your younger brother and I have no ability to make my parents live a better life." Mu Dingjie was a little disappointed, "I don't want you to worry about me all the time when you are so far away in City B."
Mu Lanshu shook her head: "I don't have any ability to talk about it."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Mu Dingjie said with a smile, "Let's go home quickly, Xinmei is preparing the New Year's Eve dinner at home."
Mu Dingjie hailed a taxi, carried all the luggage in with the driver, and then left.
Gu Nian's grandparents lived in an old community, which was like a large courtyard. After entering, the children from each family gathered together and played in the yard.
The two elders of the Mu family live on the first floor. It iwas an old house that has been built for decades. There were five or six families on the first floor. On weekdays, they couldn't see each other when they look up. There were long houses in the east and short houses in the west, so it was very lively.
The kitchen windows of every household face the corridors and yards outside. They could see whoever was coming or who was coming back while they are cooking in the kitchen.
When the neighbors next to Mu's house saw Mu Lanshu and Gu Nian, they raised the small window above the kitchen window and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Lanshu, Gu Nian is back!"
"Yes, Aunt Lin." Mu Lanshu stopped, looked in through the window, and smiled at Aunt Lin who was cooking vegetables inside.
"Yo, you brought so many things back again." Aunt Lin said enviously.
Mu Lanshu just smiled.
The neighbors in this yard all think that they were living a good life in City B and were prosperous.
As for what happened, Mu Lanshu didn't want to waste time explaining.
Anyway, even if they tell the truth, people here probably think they were crying out for poverty.
Mu Dingjie's wife Cui Xinmei was also cooking in the kitchen. She took in all Aunt Lin's words and her already bad face became even more gloomy.
Did they think their family was incompetent and they were not as good as Mu Lanshu and her daughter in a big city?
When Mu Lanshu and Gu Nian walked in, Cui Xinmei smiled feebly, and in a half-dead tone, she weakly shouted: "Sister, Gu Nian, you're back."
After saying that, she held her waist, frowned and said "ouch", her dry and dark face showing pain.
Mu Dingjie quickly put down his things and stepped forward to support her: "Is your waist getting bad again?"
Cui Xinmei shook her head weakly: "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired after working for a day."
Mu Lanshu smiled and said hurriedly: "Stop being busy, I will do the rest."
"This…" Cui Xinmei groaned.
Unexpectedly, Mu Dingjie said: "Sister, you are tired from the journey. Go and rest with Gu Nian. I will do it."
He glanced at the kitchen table: "There isn't much left."
"Yes, sister, you should go and have a rest. You have been sitting all the way on the train, so you are really tired." Cui Xinmei held her waist and said with a painful look, and then burped again, "My stomach is not feeling well."
When Gu Nian listened to Cui Xinmei's words, she felt that they didn't mean anything, as if they were mocking them for sitting all the time on the train, how tired they would be.
It's not that she thought too much, but Cui Xinmei was indeed such a person.
Mu Dingjie was an honest man. The only bad thing was that he listened to his wife too much. No matter what Cui Xinmei said was right or wrong, he will listen to her.
Almost every year when Cui Xinmei came back during the Chinese New Year, she would cause some trouble. She would cry for a while at the dinner table and talk about how difficult it was for her family to stay here to take care of their two elders. Finally, she would say that Mu Dingjie makes little money and has no ability.
