"Cough, what?" Sun Zinan was afraid that he would do something that would harm animals in public, so he quickly changed the subject, "Since you're not busy recently, you just fulfilled what you promised you last time. Do you want to? If you mind, you can stay with me for a week and save you from running around..."
"Of course I don't mind," Tang Kai let go of his embrace, smiled, took his hand again, and said softly, "I can't ask for it."
Sun Zinan laughed until his bones were brittle. He felt that don't say anything about Lutai Tongquetai, even if Tang Kai wanted a rocket launch pad, he was willing to pay him to build one.
Just when he was in a state of fascination with the stormy waves alone, the sound of "dong dong" footsteps came from the end of the passage, and a small figure rushed in front of the two like a cannonball. Ji" fell to Sun Zinan's feet with a somersault.
Sun Zinan jumped back in fright, and was supported by Tang Kai's shoulders. The child didn't cry, but got up on his own, ran to the parents, hugged his mother's leg, raised his head and said crisply, "Mom, those two uncles hold hands!"
The boy was so full of breath that his voice was as bright as a trumpet. Sun Zinan asked him to shout, and put his hand on his forehead in despair.
His mother looked apologetic and smiled awkwardly: "I'm so sorry."
Sun Zinan switched his elite face in a second, nodded politely at her, and said generously, "It's okay."
However, the next second, the comrade-in-arms beside him bent down, put on a stern teacher face that was enough to scare children to tears, and asked, "Little boy, do you have someone you like?"
The little boy shook his head ignorantly.
"Whoever you like should hold his hand." Tang Kai raised the hands that the two of them shook, and shook it proudly in front of them: "You don't, so you don't understand."
Children, parents and Sun Zinan: "… "
Sun Zinan threw off his hand and said sincerely to the parents of the children who were bewildered, "I'm so sorry."
When the pair of mother and son turned to leave, Sun Zinan was no longer floating at all. What kind of sword eyebrows and star eyes, what kind of angels descended into the world, they were all illusions.
Tang Kai won this battle with the children and went to pick up daily necessities happily. Tuliu Sun Zinan stood on the spot, he pondered for a while, and said with a heavy heart: "Kai ah."
Tang Kai: "What's wrong?"
Sun Zinan: "Combining with your performance just now, I always feel that your Ph.D. is overpriced."
Tang Kai: "Huh?"
"It's too unreasonable to buy it, and it's easy to reveal the contents." Sun Zinan said worriedly, "A primary school undergraduate degree is good, at least it is suitable for you."
How can there be such a person in the world! Saying he is naive is fine, but he will be round the corner to question his IQ!
Mr. Tang Kai, an associate professor of a top university in China, and a high IQ elite who has never dropped out of the top three in exams since childhood, fought back angrily: "It's annoying. I'm going to make trouble!"
Sun Zinan: "What am I talking about? The education is really high."
…
Shampoo, body wash, etc. can be shared, and razors, mouthwash cups, etc. need to be purchased separately. Tang Kai stood in front of a row of daily necessities shelves, his expression as cautious as he was on the dissection table. Sun Zinan didn't understand why he was hesitant to buy a towel and toothbrush. He stretched out a finger and secretly poked at his waist: "Professor Tang? You don't have a phobia of choice, do you?"
Tang Kai said confidently, "That's right."
"My mother," Sun Zinan has no temper at all after being sparred by him. Pushing aside him, he stepped forward and sighed, "Can you use the same thing as me? By the way, I will also cure your obsessive-compulsive disorder."
"Okay." Tang Kai agreed very happily.
Sun Zinan quickly threw a few items into the shopping cart, and when Tang Kai happily pushed the cart to checkout, he realized later that he seemed to have been tricked: "Are you holding back there, just wait. Are you looking for a couple's money with me?"
Professor Tang is righteous and awe-inspiring: "Nothing."
"Oh."
Sure enough, it was tricked.
Tang Kai walked side by side with him, glanced down occasionally, saw the corners of Sun Zinan's mouth secretly raised while pretending that nothing happened, and wanted to reach out and hug him again.
He has always only looked at the red dust from a distance in the ivory tower. Some people say that it is an abyss of shattered bones, and some people say that it is a besieged city that can't get out. Tang Kai strayed from the outside, and never had the door to enter. He was like a person probing his brain on the edge of a cliff. In addition to his fear, he also had a secret desire.
And now he finally took the first step, holding on to his determination not to look back. I thought that I had prepared enough psychological buffers before jumping down, but who knew that the wind was whistling in my ears, but what I fell into was a ball of gentleness that was lighter than clouds.
They lingered in the supermarket for a while, and it was nearly seven o'clock when they got home. Sun Zinan changed his clothes and put on his apron. First, he quickly handled the duck and put it on the fire to simmer slowly. Then he washed the rice and cooked it, and cut various side dishes and accessories. Tang Kai had no self-consciousness to be a guest, and followed his ass like a little tail. It was useless for Sun Zinan to drive him out again and again. Fortunately, the open kitchen is large, so I wasn't afraid that the hot oil and pan would scald him, so I just let him go.
Tang Kai was washing the fruits and vegetables seriously, bathed in the warm yellow light of the kitchen, listening to the splash of water, the boiling of hot soup, and the collision of spatulas. He didn't need to look up, he could see Sun Zinan's figure standing in front of the chopping board with his peripheral vision. He only felt the sound, the fragrance, and the warmth that surrounded him, like a dense net of dust. It was futile to break free, but it made people more addicted.
He put the washed cherries in a water-controlled dish, pulled out a tissue, lowered his head and wiped his hands, and suddenly said, "I... haven't been in the kitchen for a long time."
"Yeah," Sun Zinan put the loofah on a plate without raising his head, "I guess it's the same, your kitchen sewers are probably covered in cobwebs."
Tang Kai was still a little emotional, but he laughed so hard.
His parents are very powerful people, who have made a career in their respective fields, and their sons are also smart and sensible, and they never worry about studying and living.
Over the years, the family has not held them back, and they have not paid much attention to the family. There are only a handful of opportunities for the family to eat at the same table throughout the year. Tang Kai didn't have any opinion on his parents. On the contrary, he was very grateful to his parents for their openness and respect. It’s just that people lack something when they are young, and when they grow up, they yearn for something compensatory. If he were to choose an indelible and indelible segment in his nearly 30-year life, it would not be those highlights, but the steamy kitchen right now, and each other standing side by side.
"All done?" Sun Zinan put the loofah into the steamer and glanced at the sink, "Take the fruit away, take the bowl and chopsticks, wash your hands and wait for dinner."
Tang Kai took a cherries from the fruit bowl and handed it to his mouth: "Try it."
Sun Zinan came over and took it away: "It's pretty sweet."
Tang Kai made a "hmm" sound.
The light was flowing, leaving a smudge like gold powder on the end of the eyelashes. He looked so good with his eyes lowered. Sun Zinan really couldn't hold back his lust, and pinched him on the side of his face: "You are sweet too."
Tang Kai was stunned.
The tactile sensation of being pinched on the face was too vivid, and Sun Zinan's paw seemed to touch his nerves directly through the skin. He immediately turned around and slid away like a good-looking family man who had been molested by Deng Tuzi.
Sun Zinan rubbed his fingers, wondering, "Are you still embarrassed?"
Dinner is beer duck, steamed loofah with garlic vermicelli, and seaweed egg drop soup. The crystal white rice is steaming hot. All the dishes and tableware are matching, and they are neatly placed on the marble dining table. OCD sufferers are very friendly.
Tang Kai and Sun Zinan sat opposite each other, and this scene seemed to have become a habitual part of their lives.
"Try this duck meat, it's quite successful." Sun Zinan has even started to think about how to innovate, "Next time, you can try to put some mushrooms and potatoes in it."
Facts have proved that for a player like Sun Zinan who is full of culinary talents, even if he is learning the recipe now, the chance of missing is very small. Tang Kai has eaten the beer duck in the Nanfang Small Fried Restaurant and the beer stewed duck made by their school cafeteria. He feels that it is completely different from the finished product that Sun Zinan came up with.
The practice outside is generally to use the whole duck to cut into pieces and fry it in a pot, while cooking at home is more delicate. The duck leg is thick and has few bones, so it is not difficult to bite, cut into mahjong pieces, blanch the water first to remove the fishy smell, heat the oil and sauté the chili, stir-fry the duck pieces with onion, ginger and garlic, add beer, cooking wine and soy sauce, and cook over low heat Slowly simmer over high heat to collect the juice, and finally put the pot on a plate. Each piece of duck meat is evenly coated with light brown sauce. The aroma of the wine completely conceals the fishy smell of the duck meat.
Garlic vermicelli loofah has no technical content, and it is refreshing in summer; sprinkle a handful of shrimp skin in the seaweed egg drop soup, the taste is richer and more delicious. Although the heat can hardly be felt in the air-conditioned room, Sun Zinan still tries his best to choose seasonal dishes and mix them with meat and vegetables, so as not to spoil his appetite.
It can be seen that Virgo's picky can only be cured by themselves.
Tang Kai gave this meal the biggest compliment within the scope of his dining etiquette: he ate all the rice in the bowl, and he was not picky eaters.
As always, Sun Zinan didn't eat much. Tang Kai took the initiative to take up the task of cleaning up the dishes. Sun Zinan didn't fight him, saying, "There is a dishwasher in the kitchen, just put it in."
Tang Kai took away the bone dishes and emptied them, and said, "You don't need to help the cook, you don't need to wash the dishes, and you don't need to clean up... Mr. Sun, do you still need a driver, the kind that has a doctorate degree?"
"There is no shortage of drivers," Sun Zinan laughed lazily, "but there is no boyfriend."
Tang Kai asked nonchalantly, "What specific requirements?"
"It's just right for you to grow up like this."
As Sun Zinan was talking, he suddenly remembered a serious business that he had forgotten about, and stopped Tang Kai: "By the way, are you free next Wednesday night?"
"Yes. What's wrong?" Tang Kai asked.
"Our old man is celebrating his seventy-seventh birthday. He called me today and wanted to invite you to the birthday banquet and meet him by the way." Sun Zinan is a cautious person. So he added, "It's not compulsory to participate, and you don't have to give me face, it's all voluntary, and there's no reward for going."
Tang Kai was not made serious by his series, nor did he laugh, so he could only ask: "Did we get your dad's consent for our blind date?"
Sun Zinan nodded.
"Then do you have a particularly difficult brother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law? Do you have an ex-girlfriend that your family is optimistic about? Or is your ex-wife's child hidden in your hometown?"
Sun Zinan gave him a kick from under the dining table: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Well then," Tang Kai said with a smile, "I have eaten my meal, and I'm going to sleep soon. Since I've been honored to be your boyfriend, why don't I go when they invite me?"
