Chen Yuncheng didn't know what to say to Ning Junyan. He went back to his room and opened the door to see a few paper bags on the bed.
He walked over and saw that one of the bags contained a new pack of men's underwear, while the others were full of new clothes.
There was a wool sweater, two shirts, a pair of trousers, and a down jacket. The style of the down jacket was very similar to the thick down jacket that Ning Junyan had worn before, and it looked like it should be of the same brand.
Chen Yuncheng took out all the clothes and saw that there were no tags on them.
He hurried out of the room, found Ning Junyan in the study, and said, "Did you buy those clothes for me?"
Ning Junyan was looking at what he was looking at on the laptop, but now he looked up at him and said, "Yeah, you disappeared early in the morning, so I had to go shopping alone."
"Why do you buy so many?" Chen Yuncheng asked.
Ning Junyan said, "I bought it if I thought it looked good."
Chen Yuncheng said to him, "I don't need it, I have clothes to wear."
The chair under Ning Junyan swayed slightly, "Your underwear is torn."
Chen Yuncheng said: "Then buy underwear, what else do you do? You take it and return it."
Ning Junyan said, "The tags are all cut."
The tags have been cut, so they definitely can't be returned, and Ning Junyan can't fit the size of the clothes.
Chen Yuncheng was a little irritable. He turned to leave the study and went back to his room. He used his mobile phone to search for the brand of down jacket that Souning Junyan bought for him on the shopping software, and found that the purchase price was two or three thousand. , He picked up the down jacket and felt that it was inappropriate to deal with it for a while.
Ning Junyan walked in at this time and asked him, "Don't you like it?"
Chen Yuncheng asked him, "Have you received the money I transferred to you?"
Ning Junyan said, "I received a text message."
Chen Yuncheng was a little angry: "You took all the money you received to buy me clothes?"
Ning Junyan shook his head, "It's less than ten thousand here."
Chen Yuncheng threw the down jacket back on the bed, "I don't need such expensive clothes." There is no difference between wearing three thousand and three hundred down jackets on him.
"Are you angry?" Ning Junyan asked him.
Chen Yuncheng was indeed a little angry, but he felt that he couldn't just vent on Ning Junyan. Ning Junyan just bought him a gift with his own money.
Ning Jun stretched his arms to hug him from behind, wrapping his arms around his waist, and said against his ear, "Then next time you go shopping with me, choose the style you like."
"It's not a matter of style," Chen Yuncheng said.
Ning Junyan kissed his ear, and suddenly felt that his short hair was itchy on his cheek, and couldn't help kissing his head, "You can say anything if you have any questions, don't be angry."
Chen Yuncheng felt that he couldn't get angry.
He stood in the room for a while, pulled Ning Junyan's hand around his waist, and bent over to pick up the new panties on the bed.
Ning Junyan said to him, "Wash and then wear."
Chen Yuncheng said "um" and went to the bathroom with his underwear. When he washed it and walked to the balcony to dry it, he saw Ning Junyan's sheets and quilt covers hanging on the balcony.
Thinking of the reason why Ning Junyan changed and washed the sheets, Chen Yuncheng was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head up.
Chen Yuncheng didn't want to wear those new clothes, so he hung them up and put them in the closet.
The Lunar New Year is less than two weeks away. Since that weekend, Ning Junyan has been busy with work and has little time at home.
On the other hand, Chen Yuncheng was very leisurely, except to help Sun Shiliang on a trip to decorate in the middle, there was nothing else to do. He simply went to the construction site outside to work part-time for a week, taking advantage of the low wages and high wages of the workers before the holiday, and saved 2,000 yuan.
After getting the money, Chen Yuncheng bought a cigarette and sent it to Long Zhanyu.
Long Zhanyu worked the night shift last night, and was busy until noon today before he had time to go home to sleep. He opened the door and saw Chen Yuncheng standing outside with a paper bag containing cigarettes, and said, "What are you doing? Greet me in the early years? "
Chen Yuncheng handed him the cigarette and said, "Yes, I wish you a happy New Year."
Long Zhanyu said, "Happy fart."
He invited Chen Yuncheng in and sat down. The second apartment was fairly tidy, with empty beer bottles and full ashtrays left on the coffee table in the living room, and his coat was casually thrown on the sofa, the residence of single men.
Chen Yuncheng sat down, and Long Zhanyu went to the kitchen to boil water with his messy hair, and made him a cup of tea after a while.
The tea was so hot that I couldn't drink it for a while.
Long Zhanyu lit a cigarette, leaned on the sofa with his legs raised, and said, "Zhou Yan has been transferred to the jurisdiction."
This is theft, there are many accomplices, and the other is intentional homicide. After communication with the higher authority, it was finally transferred to the public security bureau in Zhouyan County's hometown. At that time, the case will be prosecuted together with the theft, and the local city intermediate court will try it.
Chen Yuncheng nodded and asked, "When will the trial be?"
Long Zhanyu said: "It's still early, at least a few months."
Chen Yuncheng sat on the sofa, leaned forward slightly, put his arms on his knees, and stared at the ashtray full of ashtrays on the coffee table.
Regardless of whether it overflowed or not, Long Zhanyu was still flicking soot inside. He said, "I asked acquaintances in the lower procuratorate and the court, and they all said that even if Zhou Yan's death was sentenced to death, it would be a reprieve. You shouldn't be too worried."
Chen Yuncheng looked at him, "Thank you, Officer Long."
Long Zhanyu raised his hand holding the cigarette and swung it in the air. He added, "The matter of Zhang Wenyong was caused by my lack of consideration."
Chen Yuncheng shook his head and said nothing.
Long Zhanyu asked him, "What are you doing now? Do you need me to introduce you to a job?"
Chen Yuncheng was a little curious when he heard the words, "What kind of work can you introduce to me?"
Long Zhanyu yawned, "I heard that their community is recruiting people or something. If you are interested, I can ask."
"No need," Chen Yuncheng saw that Long Zhanyu was so sleepy, and didn't want to bother him any more, got up and said, "You can rest, I'll go first, and I'll come out to eat when I have time another day."
Long Zhanyu sent him to the door.
Chen Yuncheng stood outside the door, looked at him and said, "It's really not good for your health to smoke less."
Long Zhanyu said, "Then you still buy me cigarettes?" Then he waved his hand, "Let's go."
Chen Yuncheng walked towards the elevator, took two steps and came back, saying, "If Zhou Yan has a court session, can you let me know?"
Long Zhanyu leaned against the door and looked at him, "I'll help you find out, and I'll tell you when the court date is confirmed."
Chen Yuncheng said again: "Thank you."
Long Zhanyu said, "Call me if you need help with anything."
Chen Yuncheng smiled, "Okay."
The next day, Chen Yuncheng received a call from Gu Yaojia that the child could be discharged from the hospital.
Gu Yaojia wanted to take the child back to her hometown a few years ago. Chen Yuncheng felt that it was too dangerous for her to carry her luggage and carry her child alone, whether by bus or train. In the end, she borrowed Ning Junyan's car and drove them back.
The whole car travels at high speed, and it only takes more than three hours on one side.
But after arriving, Gu Yaojia must keep Chen Yuncheng for lunch. Her parents and brother also specially prepared meals. Chen Yuncheng couldn't refuse, so she had to stay and have a meal.
After dinner, when Chen Yuncheng and Gu Yaojia were alone, they asked her, "Would you like to visit when Zhou Yan is in court?"
Gu Yaojia looked tired and asked, "When will the court start?"
Chen Yuncheng said, "I don't know, but I asked a friend to help me find out."
Gu Yaojia asked again, "Can we go and listen?"
Chen Yuncheng nodded, "Yes." After speaking, he quickly said, "If you want to go, I will pick you up when the time comes."
Gu Yaojia looked at Chen Yuncheng and asked him, "Do you want me to take the child with me?"
Chen Yuncheng nodded.
Gu Yaojia smiled suddenly, and she said, "Go ahead, I'll take the child to see him and tell the child that it's his father. Although he has no future and violated the law, all those things are done for him."
Chen Yuncheng sat beside him and listened quietly without speaking.
Gu Yaojia suddenly called him: "Brother Cheng."
Chen Yuncheng raised his head.
Gu Yaojia's eyes were red, "I can't repay the money for the time being, but as long as I have money one day, I will definitely repay it."
Chen Yuncheng said, "It doesn't matter, let's talk about it later."
There was a traffic jam on the way back.
Chen Yuncheng drove his car slowly behind the long queue. He turned on the radio in the car and heard the radio host talking about the upcoming Spring Festival. Sitting alone in the car, listening to lively topics, Chen Yuncheng suddenly felt a bit lonely.
He wondered if he would have to endure the loneliness of such a journey if he really followed his original plan to drive a long-distance truck
In fact, he is not a person who enjoys loneliness. He hopes that he can have a family who can accompany him to grow up and celebrate the festival together.
Many people will ask him why he cares about Zhou Yan so much, telling him to stop worrying about Zhou Yan, but he can't let go. Because for so many years, Zhou Yan is like his only family, only the two of them are homeless during the Spring Festival, and they accompany each other in a big unfamiliar city together.
It's a pity that he doesn't even have Zhou Yan in the future.
Chen Yuncheng leaned against the back of the seat, watching the faint sunset glow in the distance, and the gradually darkening sky outside the car window. He thought of Gu Yaojia, Zhou Yan's young son, and Zhou Yan's more than ten years in prison.
His heart was very sad.
When returning to the city, Chen Yuncheng received a call from Ning Junyan, asking why he hadn't come back yet. This is Ning Junyan's second call today. The first call was at noon, asking when he would be back.
Chen Yuncheng turned on the phone on the speakerphone and said, "I've already got off the expressway. If it wasn't too much traffic jam, I might be able to get home in more than half an hour."
Ning Junyan asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"
Chen Yuncheng said, "Not yet."
Ning Junyan said "um", "Wait for your dinner."
Hanging up the phone, Chen Yuncheng concentrated on driving and returned to the community where Ning Junyan lived at about the estimated time.
At this time, it was completely dark, and before the car reached the gate of the community, he saw a slender and tall figure standing under the street lamp from a distance.
Ning Junyan was wearing a coat and scarf standing at the gate of the community waiting for him. Through the foggy window glass, Chen Yuncheng saw that his whole body was smudged into a warm and soft halo by the light.
Chen Yuncheng heard his heartbeat "dong dong dong" gradually accelerated, and the discomfort along the way turned into sourness the moment he saw Ning Junyan. He stepped on the brakes and slowed the car to a stop on the side of the road, very close to Ning Junyan.
Ning Junyan approached quickly, walked around the front of the car and walked to the side of the cab, Chen Yuncheng opened the car door, leaned out and reached out to grab his shirt, and at the same time lowered his head and kissed his lips.
It was not too late, and there were pedestrians passing by the gate of the community, but at that time, Chen Yuncheng could no longer care about other people's eyes.
Ning Junyan was only stunned for a short time, then he quickly raised his arms to embrace Chen Yuncheng and kissed back forcefully.
Not knowing how long they had kissed, Chen Yuncheng pushed Ning Junyan away, his ears were all red, he sat back in his seat and firmly grasped the steering wheel with both hands.
Ning Junyan was still standing by the car door looking at him and said, "Do you miss me that much?"
Chen Yuncheng didn't look at him, just said, "Where to eat?"
Ning Junyan said, "I'll make it for you when I get home."
Chen Yuncheng nodded, "Okay."
Back at home, Chen Yuncheng took off his coat and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. As soon as he entered, Ning Junyan followed him in from behind, hugged him from behind, stared at him in the mirror, and said, "I've lost weight."
Both of them were busy during this time, and Ning Junyan hardly had time to take a closer look at Chen Yuncheng under the bright light.
Chen Yuncheng has indeed lost weight. The part-time jobs he does on the construction site are the hardest and most tiring work, so that he can make more money. He pressed the hand sanitizer in the palm of his hand, lowered his head and rubbed his hands carefully, and asked Ning Junyan, "Aren't you going to work overtime today?"
Ning Junyan said, "I won't work overtime today."
Chen Yuncheng just took the initiative to kiss Ning Junyan just now, but now he is embarrassed again. He didn't look at the person in the mirror, but just said, "Is dinner ready?"
"Okay," Ning Junyan kissed the top of his head, turned around and left the bathroom first, "Let's have dinner."
Chen Yuncheng couldn't help but raised his hand and touched his head, feeling that after he cut his hair, Ning Junyan especially liked to kiss his head.
The dinner was Ning Jun Yan's fried steak, and it was accompanied by red wine. If a candle was lit in the middle of the table, it would really have such an atmosphere.
However, Chen Yuncheng's knife and fork were very unskilled, and the plate kept ringing.
Ning Junyan said, "There is an emergency operation this afternoon. It's very troublesome. I've been thinking about you after the operation."
Chen Yuncheng heard it but didn't look up at him, trying to compete with the steak on the plate.
After a while, Chen Yuncheng found that Ning Junyan stopped talking, and took the initiative to find a topic and asked, "When will you have a holiday during the Chinese New Year?"
Ning Junyan said, "I will be on vacation at 30, but I will be on duty for two days in between."
Chen Yuncheng asked again, "Where did you plan to go in the past?"
Ning Junyan looked at him, "I won't go anywhere, I'll watch over you."
Chen Yuncheng couldn't help raising his eyes, and then quickly lowered his eyes, "Aren't you reunited with your family?"
"Tomorrow night," Ning Junyan said, "Tomorrow night, the family reunion."
Chen Yuncheng nodded, "Oh."
Ning Junyan said, "Come back with me."
"What are you kidding," Chen Yuncheng said and laughed, "What identity am I going back to with you?"
Ning Junyan said, "We can get married, you can come back with me as my partner." His tone was so calm that it didn't seem like he was joking at all, and then he took out a square ring box from his pocket, "I made it to order. The engagement ring has arrived."
The author says:
I received a lot of starfish today. In order to thank everyone for the starfish, I tried to write more braille in this chapter. Although there is no doi, at least I have proposed marriage, which is also in line with the Qixi atmosphere.
Happy Tanabata everyone!
