don't sacrifice

"I put the rice on the table, remember to leave a copy for my Xiaobai when the time comes."

While Zhou Qichen was cooking, Jiang Yuan had already taken a nap on his sofa.When he opened his eyes again and again, he saw that Zhou Qichen had already taken off his apron, and the table was already filled with several dishes, all of which were still steaming hot, very tempting.

"Wow, you still have this skill!" Jiang Yuan stood up from the sofa, walked to the dining table and observed carefully while admiring, "It's amazing..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to taste the dish with his bare hands.

"Wash your hands!" Seeing the situation, Zhou Qichen slapped his paw to the other side, "I'm going back to work, remember to finish eating! Also, don't disturb his sleep right now!"

"Remember, remember." Jiang Yuan, who had been hungry for a long time, showed a greedy look, and smiled and put his hands behind his back to promise Zhou Qichen.

Zhou Qichen suddenly realized that he had suddenly become a mother-in-law, and smiled embarrassedly.He stretched out his hand and touched Jiang Yuan's little furry head, "I see...you just stay here honestly, I'll be back in the evening." After that, he took his coat from the sofa and prepared to go out again. Suddenly turned around and told him the last sentence,

"Remember, wash your hands before eating!"

"Got it! Hehe, goodbye." Jiang Yuan leaned on the back of the chair, turned around and watched Zhou Qichen leave with a smile.When the door closed, his smile began to slowly disappear.In the end, he slowly stretched out his hand to cover the top of his head, rubbing it with Zhou Qichen's technique just now as if imitating it, his own palm was warm and soft, and he rubbed it for a long time until his soft and warm hair was messed up. , but still can't find the feeling just now.

The moment Zhou Qichen's hand touched the top of his head, he was in a trance, as if he had fallen into a dream.But it was only that second, and after a second, he returned to the role that Gong Zide had carefully designed for him.

When he turned his head back and faced the dining table, he suddenly felt a nausea in his stomach when he faced the food on that table.He hurried to the bathroom, opened the toilet lid and retched for a while.In the end, he didn't spit out anything, but he felt powerless as if his whole body had been hollowed out.

"..." Jiang Yuan leaned against the wall of the bathroom, raised his left hand tremblingly, and kept silent with his slightly trembling fingertips.

He still doesn't understand at the moment that he has actually become a haggard puppet, and in this place far away from the palace, he seems to be far away from his own energy source.Now he doesn't have many things to support, but all of them come from the self-satisfied belief in the palace in his heart.He must be eager to wake up, but what he desires most at this moment may be the unfulfilled promise that Gong Ziyi gave him before leaving.

After a long time, he finally calmed down gradually.So he leaned against the wall and stood up, walked to the dining table again with weak steps, picked up the bowl, and ate the cold meal that Zhou Qichen had prepared with difficulty.

He has to try his best to please Zhou Qichen - this is the most noble instruction given to him by that person.

Police station

As soon as Zhou Qichen stepped into the gate of the police station, he bumped into Kan Zhen's master and apprentice who had just returned from the training street.

And those two women seemed to be arguing all the way over some trivial matter, Zhou Qichen saw that Luo Shannian's face was full of displeasure, his small mouth was pouted, and he kept refuting Kan Zhen's words.And Kan Zhen is still spitting out the knife indifferently, but the expression on his face at this moment is no longer the cold smile it used to be, but there is a bit of sincerity and warmth that melts from ice and snow at the corner of his mouth.

"Old Zhou, Old Zhou!" However, when Luo Shannian raised her eyes at this moment, she happened to find Zhou Qichen who wanted to walk away from them quietly, so she stopped arguing with Kan Zhen, and stretched her hand towards him. waving.

This title caused Zhou Qichen to get a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat. What's the situation? Is he really that old?

During this short period of time, Luo Shannian trotted all the way to him, looked at him with a smirk and said, "Why did you come back from outside? Where did you go, tell me honestly!"

Zhou Qichen pursed his lips helplessly, and said, "You little girl, no matter how old or young, are you here to interrogate a prisoner for me? Also, who allowed you to call me Old Zhou? Am I that old!"

And Luo Shanian glanced back, and saw that Kanzhen was still walking unhurriedly, still some distance away from them.So she pretended to be mysterious and leaned into Zhou Qichen's ear, and whispered with a smile, "Actually, this is what my master calls you in private, and I learned it from her!"

"I'll go, she's not a few years younger than me!" Zhou Qichen laughed and shot back, "Then you should call her 'Big Sister Kan'!"

However, after thinking about it, he suddenly came to something first, "That's not right, you actually called her Master? Since when did the two of you get along so well!"

This time, it was Luo Suinian's turn to roll his eyes at him, "What's the matter with being called master, originally Miss Kan is my master, okay?"

Zhou Qichen looked at Kanzhen who finally came over, and saw that the smile on her face became wider after hearing this.He couldn't help being a little puzzled, these women's minds are really strange nowadays, the more noisy the relationship, the better.

"Oh, don't stand here!" Seeing that Zhou Qichen seemed to be in a daze, Luo Shannian slapped him on the arm and said cheerfully, "It's already noon, don't you want to go to the cafeteria? Knowing that I came here specially to accompany Brother Zhongli for dinner, I won't beep beeping with you here, I'll go first!"

After saying that, she really left Kan Zhen and Zhou Qichen behind, and ran into the gate bouncing around, presumably the male god who was pestering her again.

Zhou Qichen thought it was funny, he and Kanzhen looked at each other, both of them showed helpless smiles unique to the elderly.

However, Zhou Qichen did not rush to the cafeteria in the end. After saying goodbye to Kan Zhen, he returned to the office, intending to sort out and check the materials on hand for the last time.However, when he returned to the office, he found that the office was empty, and the seat of the workaholic Bai Zhongli was also empty.

He thought it was Luo Su Nian who was clingy and had successfully dated the male god, so he didn't care too much, and sat down in his seat.

"Hey, brother Zhongli hasn't come back yet?" However, as soon as he sat down, he saw Luo Shannian looking around the door of the office again, but the difference was that the expression on her face at this moment was no longer the same as before Cheerful, yet somewhat worried.

"Why, didn't you find him?" Zhou Qichen raised his head and asked.

"Yeah, I thought he went to the cafeteria when I saw that he was not in the office, but I also searched the cafeteria but couldn't find him." Luo Shannian pursed his lips anxiously, "Then I met Xiao Chen just now, and he said that Zhong Li I just took a leave of absence and went out early. I thought he had something to do, so I wanted to call him, but no one answered his phone. "

As she spoke, she picked up the phone again, frowning and fiddled with the screen.

Zhou Qichen sighed, but comforted her disapprovingly, "It's nothing, he's not a child, he might be busy with something."

"I hope so..." Su Nian sighed, and realized that he might have made a big fuss.But at this moment, she still had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, and it was quietly expanding uncontrollably.
