The next morning, half past six.
Tang Kai, bathed in the bright morning light and the mountain breeze, walked in from outside the yard.
The yard was quiet, and many rooms still had the curtains drawn. It seemed that everyone played too late last night and hadn't gotten up yet. He touched his deflated stomach, sighed, and planned to go to the kitchen to find something to eat to make do.
Tang Kai lightly opened the door and entered the house, walked through the living room to the kitchen on the first floor, and smelled a seductive aroma from a long distance away, accompanied by the slight collision of the spatula and the murmur of boiling water, which instantly made him feel hungry. From eight to ten.
Tang Kai thought it was the boss here, but when he looked around, he found that it was Sun Zinan standing in front of the stove.
He didn't know when he got up. He was frying eggs in a small frying pan lazily and leisurely. The water splashed in a large pot next to him, and the silver noodles were floating and sinking in it. On the other end of the island, The coffee pot is half full. The aromas of various foods are mixed together to match the back of another person, and the sound, color, and smell produce a wonderful chemical reaction, turning into an indescribable warmth, filling this small kitchen with substance.
Tang Kai's eyes seemed to be glued to this scene, and he felt like he could just stare at him until the end of the day.
But he didn't hold on for a few seconds, and the hungry revolted and protested first. Tang Kai knocked twice on the door panel, and Sun Zinan turned around when he heard the sound.
"Good morning."
"Good morning." Tang Kai asked, frowning slightly when he saw the dark circles under his eyes, "Why did you get up so early, did you not sleep last night?"
"It's okay," Sun Zinan said, "I'm used to it. Did you just come back from outside?"
Tang Kai was dressed in sports, with a slight sweat on his forehead. Even cutting a normal straight T-shirt could not hide his fan-like wide shoulders and slender waist, which made him look particularly pleasing to the eye.
Tang Kai said lightly: "I went to the top of the mountain for a circle."
Sun Zinan was in awe.
When he woke up this morning, the muscles in his legs were sore. It must have been due to the long standing and climbing the mountain yesterday, so he didn't dare to bend his legs when he went downstairs. Professor Tang is a werewolf. He didn't enjoy climbing half of it yesterday, but he got up early today and went to the top by himself.
Sun Zinan glanced at the timer on his mobile phone: "Breakfast will take a while, you can go upstairs to take a bath first. Should the fried egg be fully cooked or soft?"
With his eyebrows stretched out, Tang Kai said, "Fully cooked. Thank you for your hard work."
"Small idea." Sun Zinan flipped the fried egg over with one hand and replied casually, "You're welcome."
Sun Zinan prepared breakfast for him. This discovery made Tang Kai inexplicably happy, and it continued until he took a shower and went downstairs again. In the kitchen, Sun Zinan was scooping up the noodles and running them through the water, when he heard his footsteps in the rush, he pointed at the table without turning his head, and the envoy said, "Take a bowl and chopsticks, put the noodles and toppings on it, and serve as much as you want to eat. ."
The noodles were dried noodles, the topping was shredded pork, and three fried golden poached eggs lay on a white porcelain plate. Tang Kai wondered, "How many people are there?"
Sun Zinan poured the oil into the pan again, wondering what he was doing: "Three."
Tang Kai: "Who else?"
"My assistant." Sun Zinan said, "Didn't you see it when you came from the living room? He was sleeping on the sofa."
Tang Kai remembered that he saw a car outside the yard before entering the door, and wondered that there should be no parking there last night, it turned out to be Sun Zinan's.
"How do you ask the assistant to come here? Do you have other jobs today?"
"It's okay." Sun Zinan knocked another egg into the pot and said, "I can't have the clothes from yesterday, so let him bring me new ones."
Tang Kai's mentality was immediately balanced, and he cast a sympathetic glance at the living room.
Capitalists are not human.
He put the noodles into three bowls, but didn't move his chopsticks. He sat obediently at the table like a child waiting for dinner, and asked, "What are you doing? Don't be busy, the others are probably getting up very late. Let's eat first."
Sun Zinan put the pot and plate at the other end, turned off the gas and range hood, put a plate of omelette in front of him after a while, and said, "No part of them. You eat first, I'll call an assistant."
However, Tang Kai still insisted that he would not eat breakfast until he was seated. Yu Liang, who was tortured by the strong man, was so sleepy that his soul was about to float out of the Tianling cover. As a result, he sat down opposite Tang Kai, and when he raised his head, he was instantly frightened, and the effect was like seeing a ghost: "Professor Tang Tang Tang!"
Tang Kai still remembered this cowardly little assistant and said slowly, "Well, hello."
After that, ignore him.
However, Yu Liang was afraid of teachers since he was a child, and the psychological shadow that Professor Tang left him was very heavy. This meal was a jittery, like sitting on pins and needles, and he always felt that Tang Kai would call him to answer questions in the next second.
Sun Zinan tasted the shredded pork noodles with snow cabbage. The saltiness was just right, and the poached egg was fried just right. A delicious warm breakfast soothed his stomach and mood. Seeing that Tang Kai hadn't moved the plate of egg pie, he said, "I didn't know that you went out to exercise in the morning, so I cooked a pot of noodles. I guess you didn't have enough to eat. I just saw that there was some meat in the refrigerator that was not roasted last night. , just spread out an egg cake, you can taste it and see how it tastes."
Tang Kai was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a sliced egg cake. Sun Zinan didn't know what to make of the cake base. It was fragrant and soft when combined with eggs, which was completely different from the crispy texture of egg-filled cakes sold on the street. The cake is rolled with chopped onions, green peppers, fried chicken thighs, and served with a little black pepper and mildly spicy barbecue sauce. Even Tang Kai, who is not very fond of onions and green peppers, accepted it without any resistance. kind of taste.
Like a big cat that has been groomed, he sincerely sent the most sincere compliment to the breeder: "It's delicious."
I don't know what's going on, but Sun Zinan always felt that when he said "delicious" and read it as "really fragrant", he was inexplicably happy. He couldn't help but lowered his head and laughed, and then pretended to be serious and lowered the corner of his mouth, saying, "If you like it, you can. it is good."
Yu Liang narrowed his eyes. He is someone who has personally experienced two big scenes. He still remembers how their boss was damaged by Professor Tang, and how Sun Zinan was furious when the old man gave the boss Zhang Luo a blind date. Why did the sky change when I woke up? Not only did the two of them eat at the same table peacefully, but the boss took the initiative to give Professor Tang special treatment... Could he be dreaming
Of course, Assistant Yu, who had not witnessed the battle of the moths last night, did not know that Sun Zinan almost betrothed himself on the spot for a bottle of polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride. At this moment, he was just a small light bulb sandwiched between the two big bosses, and Chu Chu thought pitifully: "I drove up the mountain to deliver clothes at three in the morning, and I can't eat enough... I want to eat egg pancakes too."
After the three of them had breakfast, Yu Liang went to sleep and went back to sleep. Sun Zinan and Tang Kai each took a cup of coffee and sat in the yard to bask in the sun while it was cool outside.
Tang Kai stretched out his legs and asked sideways, "You promised me to contract meals for a week, does it start from this morning's meal?"
"It's a trial meal, and it's an opening reward." Sun Zinan said lazily, "When I've been busy for a while, you can come and stay at my house for a week, order whatever you want, and cook for you what you want."
Tang Kai almost choked on a sip of coffee, Sun Zinan glanced at him, and said with a narrow smile, "Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you when I take the opportunity."
Tang Kai glanced at his thin arms and thin legs, and asked suspiciously and sincerely, "What gave you the illusion that you think I need to worry about being plotted against you?"
Sun Zinan: "..." This grandson is really cruel.
He and Tang Kai often lost each other in the fight. Sun Zinan was used to being suddenly choked to death by him, so he snorted from his nostrils and ignored him.
Tang Kai held the coffee cup and unconsciously raised his eyebrows.
At this time, it was silent everywhere, no human voice was heard, only the sound of wind and birds singing in harmony in the mountains, the sun swaying freely like broken gold, the sky and the earth were empty and peaceful, but not lonely.
Tang Kai sighed while reading the articles posted on the Moments: "We are like two retired old men."
Sun Zinan responded by swiping Weibo: "Is the old man so fashionable? He still drinks Espresso, so he is not afraid of high blood pressure and heart disease?"
Tang Kai: "..."
"But this place is really nice and quiet." Sun Zinan changed his words, "When I retire, I will come here to buy a small building to live in seclusion."
Tang Kai: "Have a seclusion with Dapuling Moth?"
Sun Zinan put down his phone: "Professor Tang, I warn you, if you say one more word, I'll hit you."
"Actually, don't be afraid of bugs." Tang Kai smiled disapprovingly: "If you are willing to take me with you when you are in seclusion."
It took Sun Zinan a while to understand what he meant.
The question that had been hanging among them, kept silent about each other, but could never be crossed, seemed to finally have an answer. Sun Zinan thought it must be a thrilling sound, but he didn't expect it to come so lightly, like a small talk, on this fine morning.
Easy to… bordering on frivolity.
Sun Zinan seems to be a person who can lift weights lightly, but in fact he knows that every step he has taken over the years has left a solid footprint, and every decision he makes is the result of careful consideration.
The only major event in life is very erratic from the beginning, like a toy balloon handed over by someone, without much care, it looks bright and beautiful, but in fact it breaks when it is poked.
Now Tang Kai asked him to protect this balloon as a night pearl for a lifetime. Sun Zinan asked himself, a normal person should hesitate.
But there seemed to be another force stirring in his chest, trying to break through the iron prison of following the rules. Just as he hopes to live in seclusion in the mountains after retirement, he knows better than anyone that he is always looking forward to escape, freedom, and freedom from scruples... Looking forward to everything that is the opposite and completely opposite of his personality.
Hasty marriage seldom proved well.
This is an example sentence under the word hasty. Sun Zinan forgot when he saw it, but it suddenly appeared in his mind at this moment. He ran wildly in the direction of madness.
Sun Zinan turned his head to look at Tang Kai, and seriously asked the question: "Have you read Shakespeare?"
Tang Kai subconsciously shook his head.
His liberal arts level is really average, he knows to be or not to be, and he can't even memorize the names of the four major tragedies of Shakespeare.
"That's good."
Sun Zinan leaned back on the reclining chair, as if he had removed a big stone from his heart, and his whole person showed a sense of "relief". He looked up at the top of the mountain in the distance, and seemed to promise without much thought: "In this case, I can take you with me when I retire."
Tang Kai glanced at the phone when he saw the needle, and glanced at the search results of "Shakespeare in marriage" on Baidu. He saw that one of them was "Shakespeare's famous quote about love... a sloppy marriage is less happy".
He raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, turned off the browser, and happily reached a certain agreement in the warm morning breeze: "Well. It just so happens that I don't like Shakespeare either."
