In fact, for Ji Qinghuai, the festival of Christmas is no different from ordinary days. If he hadn't accidentally seen the little girl's Santa hat and Santa Claus puppet, he would never have remembered that today is Christmas.
Then why do you emphasize Christmas when you send messages to Xieyan? Because he wanted to find a legitimate reason to have dinner with Mr. Xie, the festival is not important, the important thing is to be able to see Xie Yan.
Ji Qinghuai hurried home, when he opened the door a burst of warmth came towards his face, immediately collided with the cold air outside the door, Ji Qinghuai rubbed his frozen hands, and quickly closed the door.
The light was on in the living room, but no one was seen. Xie Yan hadn't come yet. In the kitchen, Qin Lang was preparing the ingredients for the hot pot tonight.
Ji Qinghuai opened the door and went in, and saw that there were seven or eight kinds of vegetables on the table, Qin Lang was still washing spinach and baby vegetables, the amount of these things added up could not be eaten by the two of them, but it would be difficult for one more person.
Ji Qinghuai said to Qin Lang: "Little cutie, I'll make an appointment with Mr. Xi to have hot pot temporarily, let's order more."
It's okay to prepare too many dishes. If the three of them run out of food after eating, it will be embarrassing if they are not full.
Qin Lang fished out the baby vegetables and spinach, put them into a small basket to filter out the excess water, "Enough vegetables, there are other things in the refrigerator, take them out."
Originally, when Qin Lang went to buy ingredients today, he bought a lot, thinking that he and Ji Qinghuai couldn't finish it all, so he kept a small part, and with Xie Yan, it was definitely enough for the three of them.
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside, it should be Xie Yan coming, Ji Qinghuai was overjoyed, and hurried to open the door.
Since Xie Yan went to see Ji Qinghuai that time, the two of them haven't seen each other again, and they have been in touch through mobile phones. Now that they can finally see Xie Yan after two months, Ji Qinghuai feels unspeakably happy.
As soon as the door opened, Xie Yan stood at the door with a handbag in his hand. Because of the wind outside, Xie Yan was covered with some snow, and his whole body was chilly.
Seeing this, Ji Qinghuai hurriedly took slippers to relieve Yan, "The air conditioner is turned on inside, come in and warm up."
Xie Yan put on slippers and entered the door. The temperature in the room was pleasant, which dispelled some of the chill on his body. Xie Yan put the handbag aside and said to Ji Qinghuai: "I came in a hurry, so I didn't have time to prepare Christmas presents. Two bottles of fruit wine I made myself."
"Fruit wine is good." Ji Qinghuai said: "In such a cold day, it's just right to drink some wine while eating hot pot, and it can relieve the spicy heat."
Hearing what Ji Qinghuai said, Xie Yan took out two bottles of wine and put them on the dining table. The orange-yellow liquid was sealed in a glass bottle, and the color looked very attractive.
Ji Qinghuai knew that Xie Yan's cooking was delicious, but he didn't expect that he could make fruit wine. Ji Qinghuai was looking forward to the wine brewed by Mr. Xie himself.
The guests have arrived, they are ready to have dinner, Qin Lang brought out the pot containing the soup base, plugged in the power and let it cook first, and started to serve ingredients outside.
Ji Qinghuai and Xie Yan also went to help together, put all the dishes on the table one after another, and then took the bowls and chopsticks, Qin Lang adjusted two dipping sauces according to their respective preferences, and the three of them started to move the chopsticks after he was seated.
Tonight's hot pot is mandarin duck pot, one part spicy and one golden soup. The golden soup is used to cook vegetables such as baby cabbage and spinach. .
Xie Yan opened the wine he brought, poured out the three glasses in front of him, and handed a glass to Ji Qinghuai and Qin Lang each.
Ji Qinghuai had high expectations for this wine, as soon as the glass was handed to him, the rich peach flavor overflowed from the mouth of the glass, with an attractive sweetness.
"Peach wine?" Ji Qinghuai picked it up and took a sip. The taste was slightly sweet, and the fragrance of the peach itself was well preserved. After the aroma, you could taste a faint smell of wine, but it was completely negligible.
This fruit wine was a surprise to Ji Qinghuai, he really liked it.
Ji Qinghuai couldn't help but peek at Xie Yan.
Cooking is delicious, and fruit wine can be made so delicious. Mr. Xie is as good as ever.
Ji Qinghuai drank peach wine while eating hot pot, and unconsciously drank three cups, not because the hot pot was spicy, but because he thought it tasted good, so he took the wine as a drink.
Seeing that Ji Qinghuai was about to pour the fourth cup, Xie Yan stopped his outstretched hand and persuaded him: "Drink less, this alcohol is not low in alcohol, and the aftertaste will be uncomfortable after drinking too much."
Ji Qinghuai was completely confused by the sweet taste, only after hearing Xieyan's words did he know that this wine should not be drunk, but he had only eaten half of the meal, and he still wanted to drink more.
"Drink one last cup." Ji Qinghuai discussed with Xie Yan.
Seeing that Ji Qinghuai liked it so much, Xie Yan didn't want to defeat his interest, so she withdrew her hand as a tacit consent.
Ji Qinghuai gave Jieyan a big smile, and stretched out his hand to pour the wine.
Xie Yan brought two bottles of wine over, and Ji Qinghuai drank more than one bottle by himself. His drinking capacity is not very good, and he can only keep it to the point where he doesn't go crazy after drinking, so he does what he says, After the fourth cup, I didn't drink any more.
While the three of them were eating hot pot, Xie Yan's cell phone vibrated a few times. Xie Yan heard the sound, but didn't look at it in a hurry, so he left the cell phone hanging by the side.
After a steaming hot pot meal, Ji Qinghuai was sweating hotly. He wiped off the oil stains on his mouth with a paper towel. He was full and extremely satisfied.
The follow-up clean-up work was done by Qin Lang, and Ji Qinghuai chatted with Xie Yan in the living room, the snow was still falling outside, and there was no end to it.
Ji Qinghuai looked at the time, eight o'clock, it's not too late, but the snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, and it's so cold.
Ji Qinghuai thought for a while, and suggested: "Mr. Xie, the snow outside has not stopped, why don't you stay here tonight."
Xie Yan did not expect that Ji Qinghuai would propose to let him stay overnight. After all, the distance between the two communities is very long, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk back.
Ji Qinghuai said again: "Or if you want to go back, I'll see you off."
Xie Yan and Ji Qinghuai looked at each other, and saw that those clear eyes were full of sincerity, Ji Qinghuai was really afraid that the wind and snow outside would freeze him.
Xie Yan smiled warmly, "Then I'll have to bother you all night."
The cold poison on Ji Qinghuai's body is just right, and he doesn't want Ji Qinghuai to go out to suffer from the cold, so it's okay to stay for one night.
After reaching a consensus, Ji Qinghuai went to find a set of pajamas for Xie Yan, Xie Yan went to take a bath first, and Ji Qinghuai helped him tidy up the room.
Qin Lang's house has three rooms, and it's just right for three people to share one room. Ji Qinghuai changed the sheets and pillowcases in the room where he didn't sleep often, found another quilt and put it on the bed, and turned on the air conditioner in advance to let the room temperature rises.
After Xie Yan came out of the shower, he saw that the room he was going to sleep in tonight had been tidied up and the room was very warm. Xie Yan smiled lightly at Ji Qinghuai, "Thank you."
Xie Yan usually doesn't like to laugh, but he laughed twice tonight, which shows that he is in a good mood, and once Xie Yan is in a good mood, Ji Qinghuai will be in a better mood than him.
The winter night was unbearably cold, the most important thing was to take a shower and get under the covers. Ji Qinghuai went back to his room to get his pajamas, and then went to take a bath.
Xie Yan sat by the bed, and did not lie down immediately, but first took out her mobile phone to read the messages sent by others during the meal, opened WeChat, and the message of Xu Luobiaohong jumped out.
Xu Luo: Mr. Xie, I have a question for you.
Xu Luo: What is the relationship between you and Ji Qinghuai now
Xu Luo: How familiar are you
Xie Yan felt that the news was a bit inexplicable.
He thought that someone was looking for him for something important, and the co-author was here to inquire about gossip.
Mr. Gao Lengrujie, how could he answer such a question.
Xie Yan chose to ignore it and did not reply to Xu Luo.
After a while, Xie Yan's phone vibrated twice again, and Xie Yan saw that it was still Xu Luo.
Xu Luo didn't wait for Xie Yan's reply for a long time, and was a little anxious.
Xu Luo: The question I asked earlier was wrong. I didn't come here to inquire about gossip.
Xu Luo: I want to ask you, do you care about Ji Qinghuai's life or death
Xie Yan was taken aback.
Xie Yan: What do you mean
Xu Luo on the other side of the screen angrily put down the cup of hot milk in his hand.
He just knew that Xie Yan didn't see it, but just ignored him!
Xu Luo: You answer my question first.
Xie Yan suddenly felt bad.
Xie Yan: Have you been too idle recently
Xu Luo: "..."
Xu Luo: Excuse me, you go to bed early, good night.
Xie Yan refused to let Xu Luo fool her like this.
Xie Yan: What did you mean just now
Xu Luo hesitated for a moment whether to say it or not, but this was Ji Qinghuai's private matter, if Xie Yan and Ji Qinghuai were not familiar, it would be inappropriate for him to tell Xie Yan about it.
Xu Luo: Can you answer my question above
Xie Yan: "..."
Xie Yan didn't understand why Xu Luo was so obsessed with the relationship between him and Ji Qinghuai, but Xu Luo's sentence "Ji Qinghuai's life and death" made him very concerned.
With a slight pause on her fingertips, Xie Yan typed out a sentence on the screen at a leisurely pace.
Jie Yan: He is very important to me.
Seeing this news, Xu Luo had a clear idea, and told Xie Yan about Ji Qinghuai's visit to him today.
For no other reason, the poison in Ji Qinghuai's body should not be delayed for a long time. With Jieyan's help, maybe the matter will be resolved faster, so that Ji Qinghuai can also get out of danger as soon as possible.
After reading a long message from Xu Luo, Xie Yan stared at the screen and fell silent.
At this moment in the bathroom, Ji Qinghuai was a little dizzy from being washed by the warm hot water. He didn't take it seriously when Xie Yan said earlier that the drink had a strong aftertaste, but now that the hot water was so exciting, he really started to feel uncomfortable.
Ji Qinghuai felt a little dizzy when the alcohol was on his head, his footsteps softened and he almost fell out, he stretched out his hand to support the sink, and felt that the world was spinning in front of him.
Is this wine so powerful
Ji Qinghuai turned on the faucet, scooped up a few handfuls of water and poured them on his face one after another, trying to use this method to wake up his mind. He still wanted to talk to Xie Yan again, but he couldn't fall asleep again like last time .
Ji Qinghuai did wake up a bit after being rushed by the icy cold water. He took off the towel to wipe off the water droplets on his face, and silently thought to the mirror: When will he and Xie Yan be as close as other young couples.
Just as Ji Qinghuai was thinking about it, his head suddenly felt a sharp pain. He immediately lowered his head, dragging his forehead tightly with his hands, frowning to endure the sudden pain.
This burst of pain came without warning, Ji Qinghuai felt as if something was clamoring in his head, wanting to tear him alive, finally endured it, Ji Qinghuai slowly raised his face, his eyes sank.
He opened the bathroom door and walked out, heading straight to his room.
Since reading Xu Luo's news, Xie Yan has been paying attention to the movement outside. He knew that Ji Qinghuai had returned to the room, and sat by the bed thinking for a while.
Xie Yan was very disturbed by what Xu Luo said earlier, he wanted to accompany Ji Qinghuai for a while.
After a little hesitation, Xie Yan got up and opened the door, walked outside Ji Qinghuai's room and knocked lightly on the door.
"Please come in."
Xie Yan pushed the door open and went in.
At this time, Ji Qinghuai was sitting cross-legged on the bed with bare feet, the air conditioner was turned on in the room, it was not cold, so there was no need to worry that he would catch a cold like this.
Xie Yan walked to the bedside, thinking about how to speak.
"I..." He only said one word, Ji Qinghuai put his index finger on his lips, and hissed softly.
Xie Yan kept silent, and saw Ji Qinghuai looking up at him, and said, "Mr. Xie, there is something I want to tell you."
Xie Yan thought that Ji Qinghuai was going to tell him about the poisoning, so his voice was a little gentler than usual, "Say it, I'll listen."
Ji Qinghuai looked at Xie Yan, "Then get closer."
Xie Yan didn't think much, and approached according to Yan.
Ji Qinghuai said, "Closer."
Xie Yan is now standing close to the bed, and it is impossible to go any further, so he has no choice but to bend down.
Suddenly, Ji Qinghuai grabbed Xie Yan's arm and threw him onto the bed. Before Xie Yan had time to react, Ji Qinghuai suddenly pushed him up.
