Ren Yi was full of suspicion, wondering what kind of restaurant Gong Yingxian would take him to all the way, it should be a special kind of high-end, members-only club
I didn't expect it to be just a hot pot restaurant. Although it looks very high-end, the door is open and people come in and out, so it doesn't look like a private place.
Ren Yi smiled and said, "You really bring me to eat hot pot?"
"Ok."
"I eat you watch?"
"eat together."
Ren Yi turned his head in surprise: "Can you eat hot pot? 'Fire' pot?"
"Use electricity." Gong Yingxian parked the car and looked back at Ren Yi leisurely, "What's the matter, can't I eat hot pot outside occasionally?"
Ren Yi laughed dryly: "Don't you think these places are dirty?"
"After becoming a policeman, I have to go to many dirtier places. If I can adapt, it will be good for me."
Ren Yi clapped his hands happily: "It's great that you think so, the police, be more down-to-earth, it will be more helpful to your work and interpersonal relationship, let's go for a walk, let's eat hot pot."
After entering the hot pot restaurant, Gong Yingxian reported the name of the appointment, and the waiter led the two of them to the private room.
This shop is luxuriously decorated, there are not a few dining tables in the lobby, and most of the area is given up to decorative sculptures and waterside pavilions. It is not as lively as a hot pot restaurant, but it seems a bit cold.
But Ren Yi didn't care about these things, Gong Yingxian took the initiative to invite him to eat a hot food with "fire" in its name outside his home, this was a one-off triple leap, and he was already very happy.
After being seated, the waiter came over with the menu, and Gong Yingxian raised his chin to Ren Yi, motioning for him.
Ren Yi took the menu: "I basically remember what you don't eat, what do you want to eat more?"
"Order what you like."
Ren Yi glanced at the menu, thinking that it was really expensive, he ordered some dishes according to Gong Yingxian's likes and dislikes, since he himself would eat anything anyway.
After ordering, Ren Yi looked around: "Is this your first time eating out?"
"Didn't you take me to eat crayfish last time?"
Ren Yi laughed: "You only drank mineral water last time."
Gong Yingxian pouted: "I will eat today."
Ren Yi scrambled for a chair and sat beside Gong Yingxian: "Try it, and you'll find that it's not that difficult. You can also eat at my house and in my dormitory."
"...that's different."
"Well, it is indeed different from the outside, but..." Ren Yi said with emotion, "I think this place is cleaner than my dormitory."
Gong Yingxian sneered: "It's good that you know."
"I think my dormitory is dirty." Ren Yi raised his eyebrows, "I see you rolled on my bed last time with a lot of energy."
Gong Yingxian's face turned red, and she shouted angrily, "Shut up."
Every time I see Gong Yingxian being shy, Ren Yi can't help but want to tease him: "I'm not lying, why did the police uncle tell me to shut up? Last time I really didn't see that you dislike my bed, let you go down If you don't go down, you still..."
Gong Yingxian leaned over to cover Ren Yi's lips, and used practical actions to shut him up.
Ren Yi blinked his eyes, and Gong Yingxian's unique dry, faint grass smell drifted into his nostrils, as if every breath was a purification of the pulmonary circulatory system.
Ren Yi was addicted in an instant, he closed his eyes, and gently deepened the kiss, his hand unconsciously grabbed Gong Yingxian's tie, and pulled it intentionally or unintentionally, showing a kind of restrained impatience .
Gong Yingxian's eyelids drooped relaxedly, enjoying the kiss with all his heart, a black dot faintly flickered in his blurred vision. He knew what it was, the little black mole teased him, he couldn't explain why he was so distracted by a mole, but he just liked it, liked it very much...
Suddenly, a knock on the door woke the two of them up, and they separated quickly.
The waiter came in pushing the dining cart.
Gong Yingxian lowered his head and straightened his tie to hide his embarrassment, while Ren Yi couldn't stop laughing.
The waiter brought a small hot pot for one person, and a table with side dishes.
Ren Yi took a look at their tableware and plates, which were obviously different from the tableware he saw when he passed the lobby, and they were brand new, as were the two small hot pots.
After the waiter left, Ren Yi shook his chopsticks: "You prepared these yourself, right?"
"Good observation."
Ren Yi was amused: "How did you manage to go out to eat...to collect so many things."
Gong Yingxian said calmly, "I have money."
Ren Yi laughed out loud.
Gong Yingxian picked up a piece of white radish, hesitated for a while, and threw it into the pot: "Eat it, don't you like hot pot?"
"To eat hot pot, you need to boil the meat first, so that the soup will be more fresh, and the next dish will be more delicious." Ren Yi picked up a piece of beef and threw it into Gong Yingxian's pot, then looked at him with a smile and said, "So today Is this meal for me?"
Gong Yingxian coughed uncomfortably: "Although I don't agree with the social custom of eating and celebrating in everything, following the crowd is the most important step in integrating into society. So, celebrate the end of your studies today."
Ren Yi smiled and rolled his eyes: "Well, that's great." Gong Yingxian took the initiative to treat himself to dinner, in order to try hot pot, which was considered a contraband for him.
This shows that his weight in his heart is not light.
During this time, an idea kept popping up, to the point where Ren Yi couldn't deceive himself or others to ignore it.
He wondered if it was possible for Gong Yingxian to fall in love with him. Even if the relationship between them starts with the body, maybe Gong Yingxian will get used to him and accept him, at least most of the time now, they get along like a couple.
No matter what advice Qiu Yan and Dr. Pompeii gave him, what worries they expressed, even if he himself was questioning and worrying, he couldn't restrain his heart that kept yearning for Gong Yingxian.
If human beings could restrain their emotions with reason, there would be no sorrow in the world.
Seeing Ren Yi's face full of smiles, Gong Yingxian was also very happy in his heart. He fished out the beef that Ren Yi threw in from the pot, and blew carefully.
Ren Yi smiled and said, "You really look like Miaomiao."
Gong Yingxian squinted at him: "What do you mean?"
"The cat's tongue is afraid of being hot, so as soon as the cooked chicken comes out of the pot, it squats helplessly in front of the bowl, waiting for it to cool down. It's so cute." Ren Yi propped his chin and looked at Gong Yingxian, "You are more beautiful than Miaomiao." cute."
Gong Yingxian feigned anger and said, "Don't compare me with cats." In order to hide his almost uncontrollable smile, he quickly lowered his head and ate meat.
Ren Yi looked at Gong Yingxian with bright eyes: "Is it delicious? Is the hot pot delicious?"
Gong Yingxian nodded: "No wonder it is a food that many people like."
Ren Yi grinned: "You can eat at my house next time, so you don't have to be so cramped."
Gong Yingxian was slightly taken aback: "I'm... not bad."
"I know you still don't feel comfortable eating out, even with your own utensils and your own ingredients. It's a good thing you want to change, but you have to do it step by step, don't force yourself." Ren Yi said with a smile, "I'm more I hope you can relax and eat and enjoy the food instead of having to complete a certain task."
Gong Yingxian's heart warmed up.
He was eager to prove to Ren Yi that they could have dinner together like ordinary people, but it turned out that he still couldn't, at least not now, which really made him a little frustrated. However, it's okay that Ren Yi doesn't care that much, maybe Ren Yi cares more about whether he eats well than where he eats.
Ren Yi always seemed to be so tolerant towards him, and never made any demands on him.
The two finished their meal talking and laughing, and the waiter served them a tea for digestion.
Ren Yi took a few sips and looked at the time: "Shall we go now?"
"Sit for a while longer." Gong Yingxian took a sip of tea.
"You are not busy today."
"I just have a little time today." He just wants to spend this limited free time with Ren Yi, even if it's just sitting together to eat and drink tea.
"What new discoveries have you made in the past two days?"
"A lot, but these things have been on my mind for the past few days. Now I want to change my mind. Let me tell you about you." Gong Yingxian said, "How about studying?"
"Nothing special, a few times a year."
"You used to go to class with that Yan Jue?"
"No, he was just promoted to the squadron leader."
"Why did you become familiar with him all of a sudden." Gong Yingxian recalled the way Yan Jue looked at him, and his tone was a bit unfriendly.
"He's very funny, and he's good at games." Ren Yi laughed, "It's unnecessary for you to criticize him just because of one cigarette."
"Are you going to say I'm narrow-minded again?" Gong Yingxian said with a serious face.
"No, no." Ren Yi patted Gong Yingxian's head and said dotingly, "It's his fault, you just don't have the same knowledge as him."
Gong Yingxian grabbed Ren Yi's hand and hid it in his arms.
Ren Yi came over and lightly pinched Gong Yingxian's smooth cheek: "Do you miss me a little bit?"
"… Ok."
"But I'm going back to the squadron. I was punished last time. I dare not leave my post during this period."
"Ok."
"Then go?"
Gong Yingxian pinched his hand and said, "Can I ask for leave?"
"No way." Ren Yi sighed softly. He also wanted to be tired of being with Gong Yingxian all the time, but he still had reason.
Gong Yingxian fell silent, the two of them managed to meet each other during their busy schedules, he had never tasted this kind of excruciating feeling of missing each other every day.
Ren Yi lightly bit Gong Yingxian's ear, and said with a low smile, "Eating out is already a big step in your life, do you want to try something more exciting?"
Gong Yingxian's body straightened immediately. Ren Yi can always bring him unimaginable fresh stimulation.
Ren Yi pulled him up from the chair and dragged him into the bathroom.
