Morbid Addiction

Chen Yuncheng didn't know what to say to Ning Junyan, he went back to his room, opened the door and saw several paper bags on the bed.

He walked over and saw that one of the bags contained a new pack of men's underwear, and the other bags were full of new clothes.

There is a woolen sweater, two shirts, a pair of trousers, and a down jacket. The style of the down jacket is similar to the thick down jacket that Ning Junyan wore before, and it seems to be 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 something facing the laptop, but now he looked up at him and said, "Yes, 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 when 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 shook slightly, "Your underwear is torn."

Chen Yuncheng said: "Then buy underwear, what else do you buy? Take it and return it."

Ning Junyan said: "The tags are all cut."

The hangtags are all cut, so they can't be returned, and the size of the clothes can't be worn by Ning Junyan.

Chen Yuncheng was a little irritable, turned around and left the study and went back to his room. He searched the brand of the down jacket that Ning Junyan bought for him on the shopping app with his mobile phone, and found that the purchase price was two to three thousand. He suddenly felt throbbing pain in his temple , he picked up the down jacket, and for a moment felt that it was inappropriate to deal with it.

Ning Junyan walked in at this moment 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 the text message."

Chen Yuncheng was a little annoyed: "You took all the money to buy me clothes when you received it?"

Ning Junyan shook his head, "The sum here is less than ten thousand."

Chen Yuncheng threw the down jacket back on the bed, "I don't need such expensive clothes." There is no difference between 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 it on Ning Junyan. Ning Junyan just bought him a gift with his own money.

Ning Jun extended his arms and hugged him from behind, wrapped his arms around his waist, and said close to 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 his short hair prickling his cheek, and couldn't help kissing him on the head again, "You can talk about any problems, don't be angry."

Chen Yuncheng felt that he couldn't get angry anymore.

He stood in the room for a while, pulled Ning Junyan's arm around his waist, and bent down to pick up the new underwear on the bed.

Ning Junyan said to him: "Wash and wear again."

Chen Yuncheng said "Hmm", and went to the bathroom with his underwear. When he washed it and went to the balcony to dry it, he saw Ning Junyan's bed sheet and quilt cover were still 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.

Chen Yuncheng didn't want to wear those new clothes, 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 doesn't have much time at home.

But Chen Yuncheng was very leisurely, except for helping Sun Shiliang to run a decoration on the way, he had nothing to do at other times.He simply went to a 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, he saved 2000 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 today he was so busy that he didn't have time to go home to sleep until noon. He opened the door and saw Chen Yuncheng standing outside with a paper bag containing cigarettes, and said, "What are you doing? Wish me an early year? "

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 to sit in. The apartment in the second apartment was fairly neatly tidied up, except that there were empty beer bottles and full ashtrays on the coffee table in the living room, and coats were thrown casually on the sofa. It was a single man's residence.

Chen Yuncheng sat down, Long Zhanyu went to the kitchen to boil water with his messy hair, made him a cup of tea after a while and brought it out.

The tea was too hot to drink for a while.

Long Zhanyu lit a cigarette, crossed his legs and sat on the single sofa, and said, "Zhou Yan has been transferred to jurisdiction."

Here is the theft, there are many accomplices, and the other is intentional homicide. After communication with the higher authorities, it will be transferred to the public security bureau in the hometown of Zhouyan County. At that time, it will be prosecuted together with the theft case and judged by the local intermediate court.

Chen Yuncheng nodded and asked, "When will the trial be?"

Long Zhanyu said: "It's probably still early, at least a few months."

Chen Yuncheng sat on the sofa, leaning forward slightly, with his arms on his knees, staring at the full ashtray on the coffee table in a daze.

Long Zhanyu didn't care whether it was overflowing or not, and was still flicking soot into it. He said, "I asked my acquaintances in the procuratorate and the court, and they all said that Zhou Yan's situation is a reprieve even if he is sentenced to death. You don't have to worry too much."

Chen Yuncheng looked at him, "Thank you, Officer Long."

Long Zhanyu raised his hand holding the cigarette and waved it in the air, and he said, "The matter of Zhang Wenyong before, I didn't think carefully enough to hurt you."

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 job can you introduce to me?"

Long Zhanyu yawned, "I heard that their community is recruiting people, if you are interested, I can go and inquire about it."

"No need," Chen Yuncheng saw that Long Zhanyu was very sleepy and didn't want to disturb him any longer, so he got up and said, "You rest, I'm leaving first, and I'll come out for dinner another day when I'm free."

Long Zhanyu sent him to the door of his house.

Chen Yuncheng stood outside the door, looked at him and said, "Smoking less is really bad for your health."

Long Zhanyu said: "Then you still buy me cigarettes?" Then he waved his hand, "Let's go."

Chen Yuncheng walked towards the elevator, walked two steps and then came back, saying: "If Zhou Yan is in court, can you inform me?"

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."

Chen Yuncheng smiled, "Okay."

The next day, Chen Yuncheng received a call from Gu Yaojia, announcing that the child could be discharged from the hospital.

Gu Yaojia wanted to take her child back to her hometown years ago. Chen Yuncheng felt that it would be too dangerous for her to carry her luggage and hold the child by herself, no matter taking the bus or the train, so she finally borrowed Ning Junyan's car and drove them back.

The car travels at high speed all the way, and it only takes more than three hours for one side.

But after arriving, Gu Yaojia insisted that Chen Yuncheng stay for lunch. Her parents and elder brother also specially prepared meals. Chen Yuncheng couldn't refuse, so she had to stay for a meal.

After dinner, when Chen Yuncheng and Gu Yaojia were alone, he asked her: "Would you like to go and see Zhou Yan when the court is in session?"

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 then."

Gu Yaojia looked at Chen Yuncheng and asked him: "Do you want me to take the child?"

Chen Yuncheng nodded.

Gu Yaojia smiled suddenly, and she said: "Go then, I will take the child to meet him, and tell the child that it is his father. Although he is not promising and broke the law, he did all those things 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 afford to pay back the money for the time being, but as long as I have money one day, I will definitely pay it back."

Chen Yuncheng said: "It's okay, let's talk about it later."

There was a traffic jam on the highway back home.

Chen Yuncheng drove forward slowly behind the long motorcade. 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 the lively topics, Chen Yuncheng suddenly felt a little lonely.

He wondered if he really went to drive a long-distance truck according to his original plan, would he have to endure the loneliness of this journey all the time?

In fact, he is not a person who enjoys loneliness. How much he wishes he could have a family who can accompany him to grow up and spend the holidays together.

Many people would ask him why he cared so much about Zhou Yan and tell him not to care about Zhou Yan anymore, but he couldn't let it go.Because for so many years, Zhou Yan was like his only family, only the two of them were homeless during the Spring Festival, and they accompanied each other in a strange big city together.

It's a pity that he won't even have Zhou Yan in the future.

Chen Yuncheng leaned on the back of the seat, watching the faintly visible sunset in the distance, and the gradually darkening sky outside the car window.He thought of Gu Yaojia, Zhou Yan's young son, and the more than ten years that Zhou Yan would spend in prison.

He was very sad.

When returning to the urban area, Chen Yuncheng received a call from Ning Junyan, asking him why he hadn't come back yet.This is the second call from Ning Junyan today. The first call was at noon, asking when he would be back.

Chen Yuncheng turned on the handset on the phone, and said, "I've already got off the highway. If there is no traffic jam, I may be able to get home in half an hour."

Ning Junyan asked him, "Have you eaten?"

Chen Yuncheng said, "Not yet."

Ning Junyan said "Hmm", "Waiting for you to have dinner."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuncheng concentrated on driving, and returned to the community where Ning Junyan lived at about the expected 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 a scarf and was waiting for him at the gate of the community. Through the foggy window glass, Chen Yuncheng saw that his whole body was blurred by the light to create a warm and soft halo.

Chen Yuncheng heard her heartbeat gradually speeding up, and the discomfort along the way turned into sourness the moment she saw Ning Junyan.He stepped on the brakes, slowed down and parked the car 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 driver's cab. Chen Yuncheng opened the car door, leaned out and grabbed his lapel, 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 in a daze for a short while, and soon put his arms around Chen Yuncheng, and kissed back vigorously.

I don't know how long the kiss lasted, Chen Yuncheng pushed Ning Junyan away, his ears turned red, he sat back on the seat, and 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, but said, "Where are we going to eat?"

Ning Junyan said, "I'll make it for you when I get home."

Chen Yuncheng nodded, "OK."

Back home, Chen Yuncheng took off his coat and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. As soon as he went in, Ning Junyan followed him in, hugged him from behind, stared at him in the mirror, and said, "I 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 short-term labor he does on the construction site is the hardest and most tiring job, so that he can make more money.He pressed the hand sanitizer on the palm of his hand, lowered his head and rubbed his hands carefully, and asked Ning Junyan, "Don't you work overtime today?"

Ning Junyan said, "I won't work overtime today."

Chen Yuncheng took the initiative to kiss Ning Junyan just now, but now he felt embarrassed again, instead of looking at the person in the mirror, he just said: "Is dinner ready?"

"Okay," Ning Junyan kissed the top of his head, turned around and left the bathroom first, "Come and eat."

Chen Yuncheng couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his head, and felt that after he cut his hair, Ning Junyan especially liked to kiss his head.

Dinner is Ning Junyan's fried steak, accompanied by red wine. If a candle is lit in the middle of the table, it will really have such an atmosphere.

However, Chen Yuncheng was very unskilled in using the knife and fork, knocking on the plate kept ringing.

Ning Junyan said: "There is an emergency operation this afternoon, it's quite troublesome, and I've been thinking about you since it's over."

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 realized that Ning Junyan had stopped talking, so he took the initiative to find a topic and asked, "Which day do you have a holiday for Chinese New Year?"

Ning Junyan said: "The holiday starts at thirty, but I have to be on duty for two days in between."

Chen Yuncheng asked again: "Where did you plan to go?"

Ning Junyan looked at him, "I'm not going anywhere, just guarding you."

Chen Yuncheng couldn't help raising his eyes, and quickly lowered his eyes, "Aren't you reunited with your family?"

"Tomorrow night," Ning Junyan said, "the family reunion tomorrow night."

Chen Yuncheng nodded, "Oh."

Ning Junyan said, "You can go back with me."

"Are you kidding me?" Chen Yuncheng laughed as he said, "What capacity should I go back with you?"

Ning Junyan said: "We can get married, and you come back with me as my partner." His tone was too calm, and he didn't seem to be joking at all, and then he took out a square ring box from his pocket, "I made it Your engagement ring has arrived."

The author says:

I received a lot of starfish today. In order to thank everyone for the starfish, I tried my best to write more characters in this chapter. Although there is no doi, at least I proposed, which also fits the Qixi Festival atmosphere.

I wish you all a happy Tanabata!
