After the party, the first thing Su Nuo wanted to do was to go home to see her parents and grandfather. Su Nuo didn't know if they were still venting their anger on her because of her brother, but as a family, Su Nuo felt that she should go home and spend the New Year with her family.

On the way to the company, Ning Tianyu saw Su Nuo waiting for the bus.

"Go home," Su Nuo didn't know what to say to Ning Tianyu now, "spend the New Year with Mom and Dad."

Ning Tianyu parked his car beside Su Nuo.

"No need, it's quite close. I'll just take the car." Su Nuo felt a little embarrassed. She didn't want Ning Tianyu to misunderstand her, let alone Xiao Yue.

Ning Tianyu could feel that Su Nuo was deliberately keeping a distance from him. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have to go to the company. I just happened to pass by. We should at least be friends. Do you want to talk to me like this in the future?"

"Alright then." Su Nuo also knew that she shouldn't be too cold to Ning Tianyu. At the very least, he had helped her and was at least a friend.

Along the way, Su Nuo did not say anything, nor did Ning Tianyu. The two of them listened to the music in the car and looked very calm.

Su Nuo looked out of the window and thought about how to face her parents and grandfather.

Su Nuo did not understand why her grandfather would vent his anger on her because she really wanted to get along well with her family. Su Nuo really wanted to make everyone around her happy in her short life, but things always went against her wishes.

Seeing Su Nuo's calm expression, Ning Tianyu hid a trace of sadness. Although he knew that Su Nuo was feeling sad because of the family matters, he did not know what to say. After all, this was her own matter.

Ning Tianyu wanted to comfort Su Nuo and let her know that he cared about her very much, but he didn't know what to say.

"Su Nuo, that day's party." Ning Tianyu really wanted to know what Su Nuo thought of the songs he played, but he didn't know how to say it.

Su Nuo didn't know how to comment on Ning Tianyu's performance, so she could only say such a paradoxical comment. "Your performance that day was very good and completely suited your style."

"My style?" Ning Tianyu could tell that Su Nuo's words were obviously perfunctory. "Then do you like my style?"

Su Nuo smiled faintly, "Not bad, not bad."

"Have you always liked Xiao Yue's playing style?" Ning Tianyu knew that he shouldn't have mentioned Xiao Yue, but he didn't know why he still said it faster than his brain.

"It should be said that Xiao Yue's performance gave me a very stable feeling and made me feel very comfortable." Su Nuo did not directly answer Ning Tianyu's question. She did not want a trace of disharmony between Ning Tianyu and Xiao Yue.

"Yes, I understand." Just as Ning Tianyu was about to say something, he saw Su Nuo suddenly straighten up.

Su Nuo felt that it was really uncomfortable to stay with Ning Tianyu, but she could not say anything, so she could only take the opportunity to get off the car. "Stop, Ning Tianyu. I want to go shopping there."

"Alright," Ning Tianyu parked his car in front of a fruit shop.

Su Nuo immediately got out of the car, turned around and smiled at Ning Tianyu, "I still need to pick something to bring back to my parents and grandfather, so you don't have to wait for me, this place is already very close to our home."

Ning Tianyu could tell that Su Nuo was looking for a reason to leave, but Ning Tianyu was unwilling to leave.

Su Nuo could only smile and nod, then turned around and walked into the fruit shop.

Not long after, Su Nuo picked up a few fruits and checked out of the fruit shop. She took the fruits and sat in Ning Tianyu's car.

Neither of them spoke. The car was so quiet that the air seemed to condense.

Just as he was about to arrive at Su Nuo's door, Ning Tianyu pretended to say something casually that had been brewing in his heart for a long time, "Su Nuo, do you want me to accompany you to meet your parents and grandfather?"

"Why?" Su Nuo did not understand why Ning Tianyu would say that.

Ning Tianyu was actually thinking of something else, "I've experienced your grandfather's strength before. I also know that your brother has run away from home now, so your grandfather will definitely take it out on you if you go home now. I think that if you had me with you, your grandfather wouldn't have gone too far." That was, if Su Nuo's grandfather and parents treated him as Su Nuo's boyfriend, then at least he would have a chance to win back Su Nuo.

Su Nuo did not know Ning Tianyu's plan, but simply felt that this matter was very inappropriate. "Stop joking. You are not my person. You will be misunderstood by my parents and grandfather if you accompany me home. This is not good."

"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding what?" Ning Tianyu deliberately pretended not to know, wanting to lure Su Nuo into explaining.

"You shouldn't be like this. This isn't good." Su Nuo heard the voice-over from Ning Tianyu's long words, but Su Nuo didn't want to break it. She didn't want the relationship between the two of them to become even more awkward.

"Is that so? I just want to help you. Don't think too much." Ning Tianyu didn't expect Su Nuo's mouth to be so tight and her mind to be so meticulous. He actually didn't follow his own intentions.

Su Nuo turned to look at Ning Tianyu, but Ning Tianyu stared in front of him, avoiding Su Nuo's eyes.

'"I haven't heard you say'sorry' for a long time." Ning Tianyu wanted to say something relaxing, but he didn't know why he suddenly mentioned the person he didn't want to mention. "It seems that sometimes a stronger request is useful. Xiao Yue wants you to get rid of this problem, but you really don't say much anymore."

'"Is that so?" Su Nuo wondered why Ning Tianyu suddenly mentioned Xiao Yue. "I don't know, I guess so. Every time I said those three words, I would think of his cold face and unconsciously swallow them back."

"You seem to have always cared about what he said," Ning Tianyu wanted to use a roundabout way to tell Su Nuo that he was different from Xiao Yue. "Actually, you don't have to care too much about him. He is such a person. Whatever he says and does is always very self-centered, and he always hopes that others can follow his way."

'"Fine, I don't think he's very self-centered. He always took good care of everyone at the last gathering, right? It's not as serious as what you said, right?" Su Nuo always felt that Ning Tianyu's words were strange. "What about you? What kind of person do you think you are?"

"Me?" Ning Tianyu was very surprised by Su Nuo's rhetorical question. "I never liked to force others to do something. I liked to let nature take its course. I felt that as long as I worked hard, the water would reach the natural canal. Nothing could be forced, nor could I force others to change anything."

"Then it's really not easy for you to be friends with Xiao Yue," Su Nuo said lightly, and then did not say anything about Xiao Yue.

Ning Tianyu could not guess what Su Nuo meant. He didn't understand whether Su Nuo was speaking for him or Xiao Yue. Ning Tianyu felt that Su Nuo had also become unfathomable. She was no longer the Su Nuo who used to say whatever she wanted when she was at school.

Ning Tianyu didn't even understand when Su Nuo had become so unfamiliar to him. He had always thought that Su Nuo had always been the same as when they were at school, and had not changed. He was still Su Nuo's closest person.
