C29 Dinner

Aunt Zhang had always been enthusiastic and hospitable. Since she had come here with Qu Nan, she was, at the very least, a friend.

Qu Nan did not expect Auntie Zhang to appear at this place at this time. She had already come over and could only smile and call out, "Auntie Zhang." She patted Jialuo's head, "Jialuo, quickly call Granny."

Jialuo very obediently called out. Usually, Qu Nan did not have time to take care of Jialuo, so she entrusted it to the landlord's family to take care of him. Because of this, Jialuo was very close to the landlord's family.

"Granny Zhang, I miss you so much!"

Jialuo held Auntie Zhang's hand and hid in her arms.

"Hey, look, this child... Granny misses you very much too. Let's go, Granny will bring you to eat delicious food!" As he spoke, he prepared to pull Aunt Zhang away. Before he left, he did not forget to greet her. " Then, I'll bring the child over first. The two of you can slowly chat. Oh yeah, Nan Nan... Come and eat at my house today! "

Qu Nan nodded politely and watched the old and young leave.

"Han Jin, look, it's getting late..."

"I'm having dinner here today!"

"Eh?" She couldn't quite understand what was going on.

"What, can't I?" He asked.

"No, I'm afraid you won't get used to it. It's just some simple dishes, I'm afraid you won't be able to satisfy your appetite"

Han Jin lowered his head and sneered. During the period after the Han family was destroyed by Ye Zhenxing... He had experienced all kinds of hardships, from a young master who lived a comfortable life to a beggar who made a living by begging. He had also experienced it and survived it.

...

Qu Nan still brought Han Jin to the landlord's house to freeload. The corridor of this old-fashioned apartment was usually very dark. The light bulb, which was old and unrepaired, lit up every once in a while. From time to time, it would make a "baring" sound. The apartment was a rotating staircase and there was no elevator. Qu Nan's house was on the third floor. There were a total of four households on the third floor. Qu Nan's house took up one of the households, and the landlord's house was the neighbor on the left.

Qu Nan's foot was still injured, so it was a little difficult for her to walk on this kind of road. Without lifting her foot, she felt as if there was a shot put hanging on her foot. It was very heavy. It was even like a taut spring. She did not dare to step too hard. He was afraid that his strength wouldn't be stable and would collapse. He would pull and pull.

Han Jin walked behind her and noticed Qu Nan's strange movements. He stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist. He quietly squatted down and pinched her injured ankle and neck. "Does it hurt?"

When her wrist was pulled, she had already turned around. She wanted to ask what had happened. After being touched by him, her left foot subconsciously took a step back and her heel pressed against the staircase. This time it hurt even more.

Qu Nan directly sat on the staircase and supported her ankle with her face full of pain.

The man's face tightened and his heart was immediately raised to his throat. His hand movements were one step ahead of his brain's instructions. He directly picked Qu Nan up from the waist and was about to carry her downstairs.

"Sigh!" She was at a loss. Her arm grabbed the man's neck with force. "Han Jin, what are you doing? Quickly put me down."

"You're already on your feet, yet you still dare to go against me. Come, let's go to the hospital!"

Qu Nan freed a hand and hit the man's chest. Her small face was somewhat hot. Fortunately, the dark space concealed it very well. She could only see the clear and transparent eyes of the deer, which were filled with a layer of fog. He hurriedly said, "Quickly put me down. I'm already fine!"

Han Jin's face froze. He asked her in disbelief, "Is it really fine now?"

"Yes, it doesn't hurt anymore. I just bumped into you just now, and now I have recovered. Wait for me to go back and apply some medicine. Put me down quickly!"

Qu Nan's legs were kicking randomly in the air. Han Jin was afraid that he would really fall down if he was not steady. He followed her and put her down skeptically.

After Qu Nan stood on the ground, her heart calmed down. She touched her face and the heat was unbearable. So she used her right hand to fan the side of her face.

"Alright, let's hurry up and get it. Auntie Zhang might be anxious from waiting."

The person who came to open the door was a man. Qu Nan called Uncle Zhang uncle. This was the first time he saw Qu Nan bring a man home.

As soon as his old wife came up from below, she kept muttering something good to herself. Could it be that Nan Nan had found a second spring?

He could not help but look at the man standing beside Qu Nan. He just stood there. He already felt that this man had the temperament of an upper-class person flowing in his bones. It was not appropriate to appear in such a simple and crude place like theirs.

"He's here, please come in!"

He opened the door and stuck it to the side of the door, indicating for the two of them to hurry in.

Qu Nan taking off her shoes was a little inconvenient. Han Jin did not hesitate to squat down and help Qu Nan change into her shoes. She was stunned and did not know what to do.

Han Jin flicked the back of her feet and motioned for her to lift her feet. Then, he found a pair of slippers and passed them to her feet for her to put on.

The landlord was also stunned. He could not bear to look at this scene. He quickly turned his back and shouted, "Old woman, the guest is here!"

Aunt Zhang ran out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in her hand. She looked at Han Jin excitedly and shouted, "Come, come. Don't stand outside. Quickly sit inside!"

Uncle Uncle Zhang glanced at the kitchen knife in her hand. Auntie Zhang also realized that something was wrong. She awkwardly carried the kitchen knife behind her and was pushed into the kitchen by Uncle Uncle Zhang. "The guest is here. Quickly go and cook!"

"Got it, got it... Why are you pushing me? Why don't you do it? Really!" Auntie Zhang said impatiently.

Every time he choked, she would say the same thing. She didn't know how to save face for him in front of a customer. She glared at him and blew on her mustache. She tilted her head to indicate that there was a customer behind her, so she couldn't give him any face.

In the end, Auntie Zhang compromised. She rolled her eyes proudly and went into the kitchen to cook.

Uncle Uncle Zhang pretended to be embarrassed and smiled. "Sorry, I let you see a joke. Come in and take a seat."

Han Jin smiled politely. He had already changed into his slippers and was still standing where he was. Qu Nan had already walked to the sofa to play puzzles with Jialuo.

The sun was just right. It was not as dazzling as it was at noon.

It was warm and gentle.

He said, "No, and I'm very envious."

He envied the fact that there was one person who died of old age, envied the passage of time, only able to accompany him.

...

During dinner, Qu Nan helped Auntie Zhang cook in the kitchen. Han Jin and Uncle Uncle Zhang sat on the rattan chair on the balcony and played chess. Jialuo squatted by Han Jin's feet and continued to puzzle. When he encountered a problem, Han Jin would give him some pointers.

"Does Mr. Han really like Jialuo?"

They had introduced each other just now, and they already knew each other's identity.

Han Jin's face was taut, and he pursed his lips. He was used to being a leader in the company, and he rarely got along with his elders. This habit could not be changed.
