non-contractual relationship

Chapter 6

As soon as An Lan walked to the office, she found Ankang standing at the door like a pillar.An Lan walked over and patted Ankang's tense shoulder lightly: "Why are you so nervous?"

Ankang hadn't gotten out of the word "dirty" just now, but this time he seemed to be awakened by An Lan's slap, and almost jumped up: "I'm not nervous."

An Lan's hand that opened the office door froze for a moment, and said "Yes" nonchalantly, before asking, "How many months' salary do you want to pay in advance?"

Ankang was a little embarrassed, and fumbled out a number: "One, one year." Then he quietly raised his head and glanced at An Lan, and added with a lack of confidence: "Is it possible?" Yuehua is in charge of food and shelter, Ankang I don't worry much about my life for the next year.

An Lan opened the door, turned on the light, and saw the blinds that were still closed. She didn't know what to think, and walked straight to the window. After standing still by the window, she raised the shutters and looked at them again.After seeing enough of the lights outside, An Lan seemed to think of Ankang, and looked back at him: "You are courageous enough, you dare to advance a year's salary directly within 24 hours of joining the job." Saying that, she pressed the shutter button.

The blinds opened slowly, but Ankang's fingers on the edge of the trouser seams tightly clasped the fabric under his hands.He knew that his request was too much, but he really needed the money urgently, and there was not much time for Papa Ann to delay.During the conversation yesterday morning, the doctor urged the cost of the intensive care unit for the past two days.Although he had only been in Yuehua for less than a few hours, Ankang had already realized how simple he thought things were before... He needs money urgently, right away!immediately!At least for a while.

It didn't take long for Ankang to get nervous, An Lan took out a stack of banknotes from the drawer, and waved at Ankang: "Cash, or bank card? Or you can pay online if you have online banking."

Ankang raised his head abruptly, looking at An Lan with incredible eyes.Think about it too, who would casually lend tens of thousands of yuan to a person on the street who has only spoken a few words.Ankang had a vague premonition in his heart: the person in front of him seemed to be very special to him from the very beginning.

But he didn't have the time to explore the reason now.

An Lan threw the money back into the drawer, raised her eyebrows, raised her voice, and asked again: "I'm asking you. How are you going to get the money? Are you deaf?"

Ankang quickly regained his senses: "Bank card! Bank card is fine!"

An Lan took out her phone.

Ankang went on with insight: "My bank card number is..."

"Wait a minute, don't rush to read the number. I haven't opened the webpage on my phone yet." After An Lan finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and said, "Come here."

Ankang took a step blankly.

An Lan added patiently: "Stand at the table."

As soon as Ankang stood still at the table, An Lan threw a piece of paper and a pen over: "Write a receipt. If you can work for a year, I will tear this up. Just write the amount of 10 and the date." today."

Ankang nodded, took the pen and started writing.Anyway, he has nothing to be tricked by others. As long as he can get his salary in advance, the major matter on his mind will be solved again, and it is very refreshing to write.Ankang was just about to hand over the receipt when he finished writing, when he heard An Lan give another order: "Do you have your ID card or something?"

Ankang nodded, took out his ID card from his close pocket, and handed it along with the receipt.

An Lan took out a box of ink pads from the corner of the desk and handed it to Ankang. After Ankang took it, he picked up the phone and made an internal call.In less than 1 minute, the manager was at the door.

An Lan took Ankang's ID card and said to the manager, "Give him two copies."

The manager nodded, walked in without looking sideways, took the ID card, turned and left.

An Lan put down the phone, leaned against the table, watched Ankang finish fingerprinting, and then picked up the receipt.

The manager came in again, holding Ankang's ID card and a copy.

An Lan took it and glanced at it, drew two random strokes on Ankang's fingerprinted receipt, clamped the several pieces of paper together with a small clip, threw them into the drawer, and waited for the order without raising her head. The manager said: "Okay, you go and do your work."

The manager quickly disappeared again, and closed the office door intimately.

Ankang felt like he was on a pirate ship, but he still honestly reported his bank card number.

An Lan casually clicked on the phone, and Ankang received a text message from the bank.

But An Lan said suddenly: "This money is considered to be a personal loan from you, and it is formally regarded as your salary in advance. You must work hard in the future and don't renege on your debts."

Ankang looked at the balance of the bank card, heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded seriously.

An Lan took one more look at him before saying, "Today is considered to be a burden on you due to work, go and rest."

Ankang turned and left, and when he went out, he ran into Bai Yuehua standing outside the door - the man he had seen standing by the window with An Lan in his arms.He nodded somewhat cautiously.Unexpectedly, Bai Yuehua, who Ankang thought would not respond to him, also nodded to him.

Before Ankang left, he heard Bai Yuehua open the door and say to An Lan: "When I came here, I saw the manager just went out, so I thought you..."

He didn't hear clearly after that, since the general manager told him to rest, he should be considered off work.Ankang is going to the hospital to have a look.Although he can't do anything now, he can only stand outside the door for a while, but after doing this, at least he can feel at ease.

When Ankang went downstairs, he met the man who was upstairs and asked Mr. An if he was his relative.The man didn't seem to notice himself, and ran down the stairs at a leisurely pace.

Ankang breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the man seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly stopped downstairs, took a few steps back, turned around and looked towards the stairs.

Ankang lowered his head subconsciously, feeling conflicted in his heart.

The man ran up the stairs in three steps and two steps, and stopped in front of him.

The breath that Ankang just exhaled was stuck in this way.

Ankang buried his head and moved to the left.

The man stretches out a leg.

Ankang looked up at the man in disbelief.

The man smiled shamelessly at him and showed his big white teeth.

Now, Ankang could only put on a polite professional smile, stood up straight, maintained the basic creed of "the customer is God" that the foreman told them in the afternoon, and asked, "Hi, what's the matter?" Is there anything I can do to help you?"

When the man heard this, his eyes wandered for a second. Ankang reflexively determined that it must be something bad, and then he heard the man calmly ask a question: "I want to pick up a friend. How do you go through the gate?"

Ankang: "..."

Ankang: "..."

Ankang: "..."

Three consecutive silences.

When he lived to be 25 years old, he usually waited for others to come to his door. Zheng Dashao, who had almost zero experience in striking up a conversation, did not expect that he would perform so poorly once in a while.

But after Ankang was silent, he quickly calmed down. Now his mind is full of the words "customer is God", and he doesn't care whether the man in front of him is finding fault. Just turn left."

Young Master Zheng, who also felt a little embarrassed, hurriedly responded: "Oh, oh, oh, thank you."

He stopped at the spot with a good temper, waiting for this person to leave first, but the other party didn't move at all, and the polite expression on Ankang's face froze for a moment.

The restless Young Master Zheng ignored Ankang, who froze for a moment, took out a business card from the inner pocket of his suit, and suddenly grabbed Ankang's hand and stuffed it in.

This grasping made him grasp something else: Ankang's hands did not have the effect of smooth skin, but rather rough due to frequent work and carelessness.Young Master Zheng had never touched such a hand before, so he couldn't bear it and touched two more. After realizing it, before Ankang could withdraw his hand, he let go, and apologized politely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Dazed."

He was really dazed.

Ankang groaned inwardly, and put his hands behind his back.No answer.

Looking at the slightly melancholy smile of the young man in front of him, Young Master Zheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and he felt that he had returned to the age when he was in love at the beginning of the sixteenth and seventeenth period. Then, he explained: "This is my business card, if you need anything, you can contact me."

Ankang held the business card in his hand and didn't speak or respond, let alone ask what the vague "need" meant.

He dared not ask.

At this time on the second floor, An Lan was staring at the monitor. Seeing this scene, she didn't know what to think of, and she was a little lost.

Bai Yuehua hated him the most. He went to the refrigerator in the corner of the kitchen and took out a box of milk and poured it into a milk pot. Then he turned on the induction cooker and put the pot on it to start heating. Tsukuru casually mentioned: "I haven't seen such a stupid Feihe for many years."

An Lan glanced back at him, walked outside the cooking table, moved the high stool nearby, and sat on it: "I think his stupid look hasn't changed since he was a child." After thinking about it, he still Can not help but sigh.

Bai Yuehua glanced at him, a little amused in his heart: "When he first met you in his teens, you were always worried about how this tricky monkey would get things done. Now that you are in your 20s, you are still so worried. My sister won't give it to you." You send out the pennant of 'Caring for your nephew is number one in the world'."

An Lan crossed her legs on the high stool, recalling the past with a trace of helplessness on her face.And the stool he was sitting on was not that big, so it looked narrower when he sat on it like this, and he looked a little overwhelmed: "Why do you think this kid can't teach well? When I was young, no matter what I said, I called your uncle "Big Brother" .When I grow up, the whole person also floats around, and I still don’t have a definite definition.”

Seeing that Bai Yuehua, who was a little worried, set the heating level and time, he turned around and pushed An Lan's feet down forcefully: "Sit down, don't cross your legs, you have to cross your legs on the sofa. I will fall again later. "

An Lan looked at him in a daze: "Do you still remember the newcomer you saw this morning?"

Bai Yuehua didn't care too much: "Well, remember, that one hasn't enlightened yet. What's the matter?"

An Lan was a little curious: "How can either of you know at a glance whether the other person is enlightened or not? Do you have eyes for the sky?"

"He told me the way he saw the man and the man together. Well, the eye-catching guy you mentioned before, who always comes to Yuehua to deliver goods recently, is he? You didn't say it before, he sees these things Is there something wrong with the eyes in the scene?" Bai Yuehua paused halfway through speaking, and asked, "One or two? Who else told you that besides me?"

An Lan raised her eyebrows: "The little thing that was put in to prove my innocence, came here to 'entrust' me before, and told me not to do anything that forced me into prostitution."

Bai Yuehua was a little unhappy when he heard the words, his brows were all wrinkled, and he felt cold all over his body: "Why didn't you tell me? I said it before, there is no need to let this kind of person in, it will only increase trouble. Yuehua behaved properly , there is no need to do so.”

An Lan was a little helpless: "Yes, yes, we are not afraid of the shadow."

"It was."

"Then have you considered Lao Ding's feelings? He hasn't had much contact with you recently, right?" An Lan's tone was without any doubt, clearly affirmative.

Bai Yuehua, who walked back to the pot, paused: "What's wrong with Lao Ding?"

"He has recruited a new apprentice, a dead-brained kind. His apprentice can help him pull out the poison nest of Moby Whale. Recently, he has too much free time and has been eyeing Yuehua."

Bai Yuehua was a little speechless: "If you have the time to stare at Yuehua, it's better to keep an eye on that little thing. After poking such a big basket, you don't really think that those who slip through the net can let her go."

An Lan nodded perfunctorily: "That's why Lao Ding came to ask me to accept Lu Hong. First of all, she is the police's secret agent. After being inserted in, the group who have been tormenting Lao Ding recently and his apprentice should be separated. Give Yuehua a little help, be a little quieter. He can free up his hands to do things. Second, let us keep an eye on Lu Hong, don't let her jump around, it's the meaning of protection. Third, it's my own thought. Rather than letting them guess, it is better to show Yuehua openly in front of their eyes. Anyway, we are excellent taxpayers who are lawful and courteous, so we can check it casually."

Bai Yuehua picked up the pot and shook it, then brought the topic back: "...that newcomer?" Halfway through speaking, he was discouraged, and turned his head to look at An Lan with a little inquiry: "After so many years, you still Have a knot."

An Lan avoided Bai Yuehua's stare, sighed, and responded: "I never thought I would meet someone whose name and circumstances are so similar to my past. I'm really curious."

The milk was a little boiling, Bai Yuehua turned around to deal with it.An Lan ignored him, and said to herself: "...I wonder if I could not be with you for money 15 years ago."

Bai Yuehua's hand holding the milk pot trembled: "What's so curious about this?"

"Because no matter how I think about it, I feel that betraying myself like that is very unbearable..."

Bai Yuehua poured all the milk in the milk pot into a cartoon bowl, then put the bowl into the cold water prepared early in the morning, and then unplugged the electric wire of the induction cooker: "It will be ready to drink in 3 minutes."

An Lan remained silent.

Bai Yuehua came out of the small kitchen and turned the high chair around. There was originally a person sitting on the chair, but when it was pulled violently, there was a harsh friction sound in the room.

For a while, neither of them spoke.Bai Yuehua's arms were propped on the high chair, and his body was slightly bowed. An Lan looked at him with a little dodge in his eyes.

Bai Yuehua's throat moved: "You know what I want to say, right?"

It was rare for An Lan to take off her mask, and wrapped her arms around Bai Yuehua's neck obediently, with a little melancholy in her eyes.

Bai Yuehua hugged An Lan in the posture of the two of them, and put them on the cooking table where there were no sundries.

An Lan looked at him condescendingly.Bai Yuehua suddenly raised his head and bit An Lan's lips, and kissed An Lan lightly and shallowly, without any desire, mostly to comfort her.

After the kiss, An Lan panted a little, and pressed Bai Yuehua's forehead to calm her breath.

Bai Yuehua raised his head and kissed An Lan's forehead again.

An Lan let go of Bai Yuehua's hand, saw him walk into the kitchen, carefully poured the milk from the cartoon bowl into the milk cup, brought it over, and then said: "I don't mean to hurt myself. The past is In the past, I even changed my name, so I really don’t care. It’s just a rare curiosity.”

Bai Yuehua hummed, turned around and poured himself a glass of white water, and handed over the milk in his hand.

An Lan took the milk brought by Bai Yuehua and took a sip.

The two of them just stayed there so quietly, you stay with me, I stay with you, they are clearly together, but their thoughts are still spinning.
