He drove to the gate of Ling Hua'an's community and looked at the stuff in his car. Jiang Chengyan was a little dumbfounded. He forgot that his car could not go in, let alone himself, even two more people wouldn't be able to take so many things. . Looking at the time on the watch, Jiang Chengyan decided to give a private visit.
The car slowly drove towards the gate of the community, and the security guard at the gate came over and stopped: "Stop, stop, the gate of the community cannot enter the car."
Jiang Chengyan took out his credentials and said, "I'm a policeman, go in and do some errands."
The security guard carefully checked his documents and said with a smile, "It turns out to be a comrade from the criminal investigation team. You came to our community to do business. Did something happen to someone in our community?"
"Normal visit, I hope you don't make any noise."
"Understood, understand, I'll let you go now, so as not to delay the business of the police comrades."
The security opened the door and let Jiang Chengyan enter the community. After driving all the way to the downstairs of the unit, he found a place to park the car, and Jiang Chengyan moved things down. Looking at the things that were brought down and the things in the car, Jiang Chengyan suddenly felt that he was a little amused. go.
Ling Huaan was drawing talismans in the study, when the doorbell rang suddenly, his hand paused, then he stood up and threw the unfinished paper talismans into the trash can. When drawing talismans, not only pay attention to materials, but also pay attention to 'qi'. It is best to do it in one go, otherwise the drawn talismans will be difficult to function.
Ling Huaan groped to the front of the door, although there was a door across, he still keenly sensed the familiar breath from Jiang Chengyan, turned the handle to hit the door, and said with a smile: "Jiang, you're here, come in quickly. "
Seeing this, Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly, and couldn't help reminding: "Huaan, you are blind, if someone knocks on the door, you'd better ask who it is before opening the door, so as to avoid bad people taking advantage of it."
Ling Huaan said half-truthfully, "Take advantage of it? What is the Jiang team going to plot?"
Jiang Chengyan was startled, his face was a little hot, and he said with a guilty conscience: "I just remind you that there are a lot of bad people... Well, where is your refrigerator, I'll put the ingredients in it."
Ling Huaan didn't embarrass him, pointed in the direction of the kitchen, and said, "What did Team Jiang buy in the kitchen?"
"Fish, shrimp, eggs, meat, and vegetables. I didn't know what you like to eat, so I bought some." Jiang Chengyan carried his things into the kitchen. "I don't know why I didn't ask? If I don't like it, or I'm allergic to something, isn't it a waste?"
Jiang Chengyan made a move, and then asked: "Huaan, what do you avoid?"
"Strawberry, I'm allergic to strawberries, and plum vegetables. I ate it once when I was a kid and almost died."
Jiang Chengyan took out the strawberry from the shopping bag and threw it directly into the trash can.
Ling Huaan heard the movement and asked, "What did Team Jiang throw?"
Jiang Chengyan said with some embarrassment: "It's nothing. By the way, I still have something to bring. I'll go out."
Jiang Chengyan silently picked up the garbage bag and walked out of the kitchen.
"920907." Ling Huaan's voice came from behind.
"What?" Jiang Chengyan turned to look at Ling Huaan.
"The door code."
Jiang Chengyan was startled, then raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, I remember."
Wang Lei, who had been watching, pouted and said, "Laughing like a fool. Boss, he threw the strawberries he bought into the trash can, and now he's going to throw the trash."
"I know." Ling Huaan came to touch the shopping bag, couldn't help chuckling, and said, "With so many things, does he consider my house a refugee camp?"
"More than that, there's a cardboard box at the door, and I don't know what's inside."
Ling Huaan said curiously, "The carton? How big is it, and where is it?"
"Just where the boss put the cane, the box is not small, it's a cube, about 50x50x50 in volume, it's sealed, and you can't see what's inside."
Ling Huaan fumbled and took a utility knife from the toolbox. He came to the door and opened the box. He touched the contents and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"So many books! Do you have to read the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon? Boss, I don't think he's stupid at all, he's very smart, and he's just doing his best to chase you!"
Before Ling Huaan could speak, the sound of 'Di Di Di' came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. Ling Huaan got up, looked at Jiang Chengyan at the door, and said with a smile, "It really cost Team Jiang."
Looking at the opened box, Jiang Chengyan's face became hot, and he said embarrassedly, "I don't have any history books at home, so I went to the bookstore."
Ling Huaan said jokingly, "With so many books, is Team Jiang planning to stay at my house?"
"I... don't you like history books? I don't usually go to bookstores, so I simply bought more. Anyway, the days ahead are still long, so I can read them to you slowly." After he finished speaking, his face was already red.
"Team Jiang is right, it will be a long time coming to Japan, so these books will trouble the Jiang team in the future." Ling Huaan smiled even more in his eyes.
Jiang Chengyan's mouth twitched again and again, and said happily, "No trouble, I'll come and read it to you when I'm free in the future."
"The Jiang team goes to pack up the food, and I'll put these books in the study."
"There are a lot of books, and the box is heavy. You put it here, and I will help you pack it."
Ling Huaan said helplessly: "Team Jiang, I'm just blind, this weight is nothing to me. The more careful you are, the more I care about how much trouble my flaws cause others."
Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and then he warned worriedly: "Then be careful yourself, I'll go to the kitchen right now."
Ling Huaan squatted down, picked up the box, and walked straight to the study. This is his home, where he has lived for ten years, and no one is more familiar with it than him. Seeing Ling Huaan successfully entering the study, Jiang Chengyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
With the help of Wang Lei, Ling Huaan rearranged the bookshelf, leaving a row for these history books. Ling Huaan kept in mind the name and location of each book. After tidying up the bookshelf, Ling Huaan put away some special items on the desk, lest Jiang Chengyan come in later and find out that the police officers are all standard materialists and will not believe in the existence of gods and ghosts. Before the relationship breaks through, it's better not to let him think of himself as a magician.
Jiang Chengyan was worried, he packed his things in a hurry, and ran to the door of the study, intending to listen carefully to what was going on inside. If there was any accident, he would rush in to help, but as soon as he was lying on the door, the door was pulled open, and his body Unsteady, he fell towards Ling Huaan.
Although Ling Huaan couldn't see it, he had a keen sense. When he opened the door, he had already noticed that Jiang Chengyan was outside the door. Reaching out to support Jiang Chengyan's body, Ling Huaan said jokingly, "Team Jiang, are you... throwing your arms around?"
Jiang Chengyan quickly stood up and explained embarrassedly, "I wanted to come over and see if I could help, but I didn't expect you to suddenly open the door and didn't stand still..."
Ling Huaan couldn't help it, he lowered his eyes and asked, "What time is it now?"
Jiang Chengyan was startled, took out his phone and looked at it, and said, "10:40, what's wrong?"
"Then let's go to the kitchen, it's time to prepare lunch."
"Okay." Jiang Chengyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Huan, why don't you teach me how to cook."
"Okay, but why did Team Jiang suddenly want to learn this?"
"It's nothing, I just learned that I can cook and eat it when I'm at home, which is cleaner and hygienic than eating outside." Jiang Chengyan said while peeking at Ling Huaan.
"Looking like a thief with a guilty conscience, you can tell you're lying." Wang Lei whispered in Ling Hua'an's ear.
Ling Huaan pretended to be disappointed and nodded, and said, "So that's the case. I thought Team Jiang was going to cook it for me."
"As long as you like it, I can make it for you too." Jiang Chengyan's face burned badly.
Ling Huaan approached Jiang Chengyan, pushed him to the corner of the wall, pressed his palms against his chest, and said, "Team Jiang, why is your heart beating so fast, are you sick?"
"No... No." Looking at Ling Huaan who was close at hand, Jiang Chengyan nervously forgot to breathe, a suffocation rushed over, and his entire face was flushed red.
"Boss, if you don't let go, he will suffocate himself to death."
Ling Huaan stopped teasing him, pulled the distance between the two, and said, "What would Team Jiang want to eat?"
"I'll go to the bathroom first." Jiang Chengyan hurried out of the kitchen, walked into the bathroom, closed the door and locked it, gasping for breath.
"Look at his potential." Wang Lei laughed unceremoniously.
Ling Huaan looked at Wang Lei and said lightly, "Today you have a holiday, go out and play by yourself, and go to the store to find me at eight o'clock in the evening."
Wang Lei was startled, looked at the direction of the bathroom, then looked at Ling Huaan, and said with a smile, "Sure, then I wish the boss all his wishes."
In the bathroom, Jiang Chengyan relieved his breath, looked at himself in the mirror, and said with a wry smile, "Jiang Chengyan, Jiang Chengyan, look at what you can do!"
After washing his face and calming down, Jiang Chengyan opened the door and walked to the kitchen.
Hearing the footsteps, Ling Huaan turned to look at Jiang Chengyan and said, "Team Jiang, what do you want to eat?"
"I bought the fish and processed it. You teach me how to make pickled fish. Last time I heard Lu Hao say that this is your specialty." Jiang Chengyan paused, then said, "Huan, don't call me Team Jiang in the future. , just call me Chengyan."
Ling Huaan said politely, "Okay, it seems that Chengyan didn't eat it last time, so he's a little worried."
Jiang Chengyan's heart tightened, and he felt a sense of embarrassment that his mind had been dismantled. But instead of denying it as quickly as before, he made an honest 'um'. Although his voice was soft, Ling Huaan really heard Jiang Chengyan's response.
This time, Ling Huaan was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Chengyan to react like this. But he quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Then Chengyan takes out the fish, and I'll teach you how to do it."
"Okay." Jiang Chengyan opened the refrigerator and took out the sliced fish.
Ling Huaan took out a small bowl for washing vegetables from the cabinet, handed it to Jiang Chengyan and said, "Pour the fish in it, rinse it with clean water several times, and rinse off the blood stains. Then put a spoonful of salt in the clean water and put a piece of fish in it. Scrub a piece and wash it until it becomes transparent, and the fish fillet will taste better and look more beautiful.”
"Okay." Jiang Chengyan took the pot and did as he did. Although he knew Ling Huaan couldn't see him, as long as he was around, Jiang Chengyan felt nervous, and after a while, he washed the fish fillets in the pot into a transparent state. He let out a long breath and said, "Huaan, I'm done, what do I do next?"
"Empty the water first, then add cooking wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, white pepper..."
Jiang Chengyan looked around and couldn't find a bottle of seasoning, so he had to interrupt Ling Huaan and said, "Huaan, where are all these seasonings?"
Ling Huaan was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the slightly upward position in front of Jiang Chengyan, and said, "It's all here, there's a label on it."
Jiang Chengyan looked at the bottles and jars next to the chopsticks cage, and his face had a fever. He just looked at the stove and didn't look up at all.
Aware of Jiang Chengyan's emotions, Ling Huaan explained with a smile: "Generally, people's seasonings are basically placed on the stovetop or in the cabinet. Because I am blind, Yanyu is afraid that I will not pay attention to burns, and is also afraid that it will be placed in the cupboard. I couldn't find it here, so this shelf was specially made."
Jiang Chengyan felt sour after hearing this, and said dryly, "Yanyu is really attentive."
A smile flashed in Ling Hua'an's eyes, he nodded and said, "Well, he is really attentive. He has helped me take care of many things that I could not have imagined."
"Your relationship is really enviable. Hua An, how did you and Yanyu meet?"
"By chance, I did him a favor and we became friends after that."
"Is that so?" Ling Hua'an's slightly perfunctory answer made Jiang Chengyan feel even more uncomfortable. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "What seasoning should I put? Hua An, please say it again. "
"Three tablespoons of cooking wine, three tablespoons of soy sauce, one tablespoon of cornstarch, one tablespoon of white pepper, and finally an egg white in it."
"Three tablespoons of cooking wine, three tablespoons of soy sauce..." Putting all the seasonings into the basin, Jiang Chengyan took the egg and said, "Huan, do you only need egg whites for this egg?"
Ling Huaan nodded and said with a smile, "Poke a hole in the egg with a chopstick, flick the hole down, and the egg white will come out. Remember not to pour out the yolk."
Jiang Chengyan followed suit carefully. Although it was the first time, he still succeeded. He turned back excitedly and said, "Huan, I succeeded, only egg whites..."
Ling Huaan was so close to him that only those slightly thin lips remained in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, forming a gentle smile. The lips are very moist, as if they have just drank water, the lips are a little light, but they are indescribably beautiful. Jiang Chengyan unconsciously remembered the inadvertent kiss a few days ago. His heartbeat, which had been calm just now, began to speed up, and his breathing also quickened.
The heartbeat of "Bang Bang" could not stop, Ling Hua smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"No...Nothing?" Jiang Chengyan returned to his senses, hurriedly looked away, and said incoherently, "That egg yolk, no, egg white, I've already beaten it in, what should I do with the egg yolk?"
Ling Huaan approached Jiang Chengyan and whispered in his ear, "Chengyan, are you asking what to do next?"
The warm breath swept across the earlobes, and the white ears were instantly dyed crimson. Jiang Chengyan ducked subconsciously, and stammered: "Hua... Hua An, that... stand a little further away, I'm afraid I'll get on you."
"Oh, good." Ling Huaan took a step back.
The temperature behind him disappeared, Jiang Chengyan was relieved, but also a little disappointed. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly saw a pair of slender hands passing through his arms and going around in front of him, while his back was pressed against a pair of slender hands. warm chest.
Jiang Chengyan's body froze, he swallowed his saliva subconsciously, and said at a loss, "Huan, you... what are you doing?"
Feeling the stiffness in his arms, Ling Hua'an's eyes became wider with a smile, and he said in a natural tone, "If you don't say anything, I'll forget, I'll help you tie an apron."
Jiang Chengyan looked down, and sure enough, he saw Ling Huaan holding an apron in his right hand, but it was just a matter of position, he didn't see it clearly just now. Wrapping his hands behind him, the light blue apron was wrapped around his waist, and his warm chest also distanced himself from him. Jiang Chengyan felt a sense of loss in his heart. Noticing the change in his emotions and understanding what he expected in his heart, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, then blushed and scolded himself for being filthy.
"Chengyan, Chengyan, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Hua'an's slightly suspicious voice came from behind, Jiang Chengyan felt even more embarrassed, and his face turned even redder. He said nonchalantly, "It's alright. That Hua An, the seasoning is ready, what should I do next?"
"Stir well with chopsticks and let stand for 20 minutes."
…
He did this for nearly two hours for a meal, and Jiang Chengyan's heartbeat was like a roller coaster. If it wasn't for his strong heart, he might not be able to endure it.
Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, Jiang Chengyan was full of a sense of accomplishment, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, put it into Ling Huaan's bowl, and said expectantly, "Huaan, try it, how does the fish with pickled cabbage taste like I made? Sample?"
Ling Huaan touched it with his hand, found the position of the bowl, picked up the bowl and smashed it with chopsticks, ate the fish and rice together, chewed it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "It tastes good, you can make it the first time. It's good to be like this."
Seeing Ling Hua'an's actions, Jiang Chengyan only felt distressed for a while, his eyes could not see, he could only grope his way to eat, but he had developed a good cooking skill. It takes how many injuries he has suffered to achieve this step. .
"Huan, what do you want to eat, I'll bring it to you."
"It's all right, I'm not picky eaters, I'll eat whatever you want."
Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and always felt that Ling Huaan's eyes were shining with an inexplicable light, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
After a meal, the two of them hardly spoke much. It was really Jiang Chengyan's food and Ling Hua'an's food. That kind of trust gave Jiang Chengyan an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Although the two did not communicate, he always felt that the relationship between them was closer.
After dinner, Ling Huaan insisted on washing the dishes, Jiang Chengyan could only quickly clean all the knives in the kitchen, and only then gave up the sink.
Ling Huaan said helplessly: "You make me feel like I'm making trouble unreasonably."
"I didn't mean that, I just… didn't want to hurt you."
Ling Huaan asked casually, "Chengyan is so gentle and has good conditions in all aspects. What kind of partner do you want to find in the future?"
Jiang Chengyan stole a glance at Ling Huaan, then glanced away with a guilty conscience, and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of thing, as long as... as long as the heart is moved, who the other party is, and what kind of conditions, these are not a problem."
"Then as you say, if the other party is ugly or flawed, you don't mind?"
"I don't mind!" Jiang Chengyan replied without thinking, "As long as the heart is moved, even if the other party is a man, I can accept it."
Ling Huaan heard the hints in Jiang Chengyan's words clearly, but pretended to be surprised and said, "If you really like a man, what if your family doesn't agree? After all, people have limited tolerance for men and women falling in love."
Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Huaan and said seriously: "As long as we love each other, I don't care about other people's attitudes. Just like the previous case, Jiang Changping and Kong Fangming were so in love with each other, but because of Jiang Changping's cowardice, they ended up like that. , I don't want to be like him and regret it until I die. My happiness, I want to hold on tight. "
"You're right. It's not easy to meet someone you like in the vast crowd. If you ruin your happiness because of the attitude of others, it's stupid. If you like it, go after it. Even if there is no result in the end, at least you won't regret it."
"Well." Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Huaan and asked tentatively, "Huaan, you said last time that you already have someone you like, have you confessed?"
Ling Huaan shook his head and said, "I am a glass-hearted person and can't stand rejection from others, so take it slow. If that person doesn't take the initiative to speak out, then we will continue to maintain our relationship as friends."
"What if he hasn't felt that you like him?"
Ling Huaan turned to look at Jiang Chengyan and said, "I think what I've done is obvious, if he doesn't notice it, it means he doesn't like me, then I'll give up, after all, I just like it, it hasn't arrived yet. degree of love."
"It's good for you to think that way." Jiang Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief, praying in his heart that the man would not notice, completely ignoring Ling Huaan's suggestion.
Ling Huaan turned his head and sighed helplessly in his heart. He was speechless about Jiang Chengyan's emotional intelligence and had to re-evaluate.
"Chengyan, go to the cabinet above the bathroom and get a pair of gloves, and I'll clean the sewer."
"Okay, then wait a minute."
Hearing the footsteps of Jiang Chengyan leaving, Ling Huaan slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, grabbed the faucet with both hands and twisted it hard, and then pulled it up, the faucet was pulled out all at once, he turned on the water pipe, and the water was rushing up. Channeling, splashed him with water.
"Chengyan, Chengyan, come and help."
Hearing Ling Hua'an's shout, Jiang Chengyan hurriedly ran over, seeing Ling Hua'an covered in water, he stepped forward three or two steps, blocked him with his body, carefully guarded him out of the kitchen, and asked with concern, "Hua An, what's wrong? What's the matter, are you injured?"
Ling Huaan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't know what happened. The faucet suddenly fell off. Maybe it came loose. Go and turn it off. Don't waste water."
"Okay, stand here and don't move, I'll lock him up."
Jiang Chengyan rushed into the kitchen and turned off the switch of the faucet. Even if he moved quickly, he could not stop the pervasive water flow. Most of his white shirt was wet, and even his pants were not spared. He ignored the embarrassment on his body, reconnected the faucet, tried again, and was relieved after confirming that it was firm.
Jiang Chengyan came to the living room, but Ling Huaan was nowhere to be seen. He called out in confusion, "Huaan, Huaan?"
"I'm in the bedroom, wait a minute."
Following the voice, he came to the door of the bedroom and found that the door was only open. Jiang Chengyan subconsciously looked in, but hurriedly glanced away and whispered, "Jiang Chengyan, Jiang Chengyan, you are the captain of the criminal investigation team, how could you be peeping? It's coming!"
In the bedroom, Ling Huaan was standing beside the bed with clothes in hand. Hearing the movement at the door, he couldn't help but feel helpless. He groped and threw the phone on the ground, then whispered, "Oops."
"Huaan, what are you doing..." Jiang Chengyan, who heard the movement, hurriedly pushed open the door and came in. He saw Ling Huaan who was topless, and his words stopped abruptly. With wide shoulders, narrow hips, perfect body proportions, and even eight-pack abs, Jiang Chengyan's eyes moved down...
"Chengyan, my phone is lost. Pick it up for me and I'll change clothes."
Jiang Chengyan hurriedly retracted his gaze, and said in a panic, "Okay, okay, I'll help you pick it up."
Jiang Chengyan came to the bed with his head lowered, picked up the phone on the ground, and when he looked up again, Ling Huaan had already changed into his clothes. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed. He shook off the messy thoughts in his head, put the phone in Ling Huaan's hand, and said, "Huaan, here is your phone."
Ling Huaan threw the phone on the bed, reached out and touched Jiang Chengyan's clothes, and said, "Chengyan, your clothes are wet too. Go take a shower and change into clothes."
