live-in close friend
Work related
There was a problem, and he pulled Qu He and walked towards the door, saying: "You agreed, please, I helped you put away so many boxes of books and clothes, so you can treat me as a condolence."
Qu He couldn't help laughing at his foodie face, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll treat you, you can order whatever you want, just order whatever you want. Hey... don't worry, wait until I get the bag..."
Li Xunran was eager to beg for food, and walked ahead excitedly all the way, asking: "Where is that restaurant?" Qu He followed behind a little half a step behind, pointing out: "Cross Shaanxi South Road...turn right at the intersection ahead , did you see that alley, it's at the entrance of the alley, that's the house." He didn't realize it himself, and he kept smiling during the whole process.
It turned out to be quite a decent Hunan restaurant. It is a small two-story building decorated in a rustic style. There are wooden tables and chairs covered with varnish. It is not as greasy as the wooden tables and chairs in many restaurants, which is rare.In the lobby downstairs, there is a row of elegant rooms on the left side of the upper floor, and a row of booths on the right side are ingeniously set up with a railing.
Qu He seemed to have been here several times, and led Li Xunran up to the second floor, picked a booth in the back and sat down, and stretched out his hand to call for the waiter.As we walked along the way, the sky was getting dark, and those returning home in a hurry didn't care about the scenery around them. The similar looks of the two of them didn't attract any attention, but it was different when they entered this Hunan restaurant. The waiter girl He came to the table in response, and before he could speak, he froze on the spot, trying to maintain his professionalism, and asked, "What do you two want?" After all, he didn't keep his eyes open, and sneaked a glance at the two people sitting at the table. Aim again.
Knowing that she was curious, Qu He didn't pursue it, and handed the menu to Li Xunran: "Order casually, don't save me money."
Li Xunran was also polite, opened the menu and read it from beginning to end, smacking his lips while reading: "What should I do, I want to eat a lot of dishes, and I can't finish them if I order too much."
Qu and himself didn't know why they laughed so much today: "Order, order, if you can't finish eating, let's pack it up, and you won't have to worry about the meal tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Li Xunran is obviously immersed in the world of food, and has no time to pay attention to the voices of the outside world. Frowning, he almost turned over the menu before making up his mind to start ordering: "This bamboo stick shrimp, here is a fan, oh, yes Lotus root soup, do you want to eat lotus root?" He raised his head and asked, Qu He nodded with a smile, Li Xunran turned to the order girl and said, "I want another ribs and lotus root soup, you can order the rest. "The second half of the sentence is to Qu He.
Qu He took the menu with a smile: "You're very polite." "I haven't eaten here before, so I don't know what the signature dish is. You have experience, so you order it. I'm not picky, I eat everything."
With a persistent smile on his lips, Qu He ordered another signature fish head, a portion of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and after thinking about it, he added a hot and sour lotus root belt, so that the little girl could serve the dishes quickly.
"It's your first time here. I don't know if you're used to the taste of his house. You can order these. If you think it's delicious, we'll come back later." Li Xunran nodded and said with a greedy expression: "It's spicy. I like all of them, and I’m sure I’m used to them.”
Qu He laughed again, and he couldn't stop laughing all afternoon.Maybe the busy performance is finally coming to an end, the more I feel relaxed, the more I laugh, and even those troubles before coming to Shanghai seem to be really left in Beijing, and I don’t think about them anymore.
D. The most familiar stranger
Li Xunran didn't know if it was due to the professional instinct of a criminal policeman, since he met Qu He, he had an old love to study Qu He's problems behind his back.
Most of this problem stems from curiosity. After living for 29 years, he never knew what he looked like in the eyes of others. Make up for the 29 years of research on my own unknown side.
As for the reason for the other half, don't ask Li Xunran, he hasn't even thought about it himself.
After starting to study Qu He, Li Xunran felt that he might really be quite handsome.Thick eyebrows, big eyes, slender waist, long legs, shaved facial contours, thin and moist lips, high and straight nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and long eyelashes, so the profile looks very good .But these are not the point, the point is to show a kind of straightness from the inside out. Could it be because Qu He is a musician, so he has a good temperament?So am I going to be close to it myself?After thinking about it, Li Xunran unconsciously went to the full-length mirror to take a picture of the front, then the side, and wanted to take a picture of the back, but couldn't. His neck was so painful that he looked at it for a long time, and finally confirmed: the back is also straight, Probably not too bad.He breathed a sigh of relief.
After observing for a long time, Li Xunran found that he and Qu He were not complete replicas.Even if the lines on Qu He's face are as tough as his own, but the whole body reveals a very soft light, how should I put it, it's the kind that makes people not afraid to approach him at all, even if he gets angry again, you won't Afraid—although I haven’t seen him angry yet—he must be amiable, Li Xunran thought for a long time, and came up with such a word, which he thinks is quite appropriate to describe Qu He (Qu He will probably cry if he knows, this word is also It's too old-fashioned).
Although Qu He was born in Hubei, and went to university and worked in Beijing for several years, he looks more like a good man in Shanghai.The principal cellist of the dignified symphony orchestra is actually very homely. When he is not performing, he seldom goes out to socialize. He just stays at home practicing the piano, reading books, and taking care of the students. Well, he is not good at cooking, and his skills are a little worse than mine.
When thinking about food, Li Xunran felt a little depressed.Two big men live together, and neither of them is good at cooking. This day feels a little bit better.The meal at noon is settled in the canteen of the work unit and the school respectively. Breakfast is okay. I buy a rice ball bun from a street stall or a convenience store, and boil an egg (Qu He seems to have an obsession with eggs, and cooks six or seven every morning). With milk, the nutrition is also good, after all, it is not good to eat small wontons every day.It’s troublesome at night, I always eat big meals outside, no one is an overbearing president, the wallet can’t be so big all the time, I feel like I’m being treated badly after a simple meal, working hard from morning to night, and a bowl of noodles is enough?
Li Xunran decided to have a good talk with Qu He about the three meals a day tonight. He had forgotten that during the week that Qu He was on a business trip in Beijing, he had to deal with eating out every day...
E. I chop vegetables and you wash the dishes
"Why do you like eggs so much? Every morning you cook a big plate!" Li Xunran didn't know why he asked such a question first.
Qu He was completely confused about the topic of this conversation, and answered honestly: "My mother said that it is better to eat more eggs. When I was young, my family was poor and there were no other nutritional supplements. My mother always loved to boil eggs for me. Get used to it."
Li Xunran educated him with a scientific attitude: "Eggs are good, but eating too many is useless. Two a day is enough. You can cook up to four eggs in the morning, two for our family."
Qu He continued to be obedient: "Okay."
"Then let's talk about dinner." Li Xunran suddenly felt that his posture was a bit like interrogating suspects in the past, so he burst out laughing.
Qu He was stunned by the laugh, and looked at himself with a guilty conscience, but didn't find any flaws in his body, so he could only look at him: "Say it."
"Can we divide the work and cooperate to make dinner in the future? Except when we eat out, can we make dinner at home once a week and make something good?"
"It's okay, but I don't know how to do it..."
"I'm the one who does it. Anyway, I have more time than you. In fact, what I can do is limited, but I can learn it, and you can learn how to do it. Before you learn it, you should help choose vegetables and chop vegetables. You know how to cut vegetables, right?" ?”
"I play the cello, but my hands are very precious. You asked me to chop vegetables? What if I cut my hands?"
Li Xunran thought about it too, the guy who can't touch people to eat: "Then you wash the dishes."
"That's no problem. I'm used to washing dishes in Beijing." Qu He readily agreed.
Li Xunran thought to himself: Are you used to it?A bachelor who doesn’t know how to cook either orders takeout or eats casually outside. If he really wants to make a bowl of noodles at home, this kind of workload is not worthy of the description of “washing dishes frequently”.
Just as he was about to tease the song and say a few words, washing a noodle bowl is ashamed to be used to it, Li Xunran suddenly remembered those "Guidelines for Pregnancy" and "Being a Good Dad", and swallowed the words again.
Qu He may be a person with a story.
F. Beijing Shanghai
Qu He has been in Shanghai for more than a month, and he is gradually getting used to living in this city, familiar with the streets planted with plane trees and the alleys full of clothes drying poles.At first, he couldn’t bear to look directly at the aunt in pajamas walking casually on the street. When he passed through the narrow alley, the big quilt on his head was blown up by the wind, and he often surprised him. Now he has fallen in love with the subway network extending in all directions. , Sometimes I even feel that it is good to walk under the green trees on the side of the road.
It's so different from Beijing here.
When he was in Beijing, he always felt that he was a string, and if he was not tense, he would not be able to make any sound.The sky in Beijing is always a bit gray and obscure, like his state of mind in the past four years, as if a thin layer of sand has been sprinkled on his heart, which cannot be washed away by water or brushed away with his hands. The process can only bring about a trifling and excruciating pain, leaving bloodstains that are hard to see with the naked eye, and it is futile.
He remembers that he really loved the city of Beijing in the past, and his longing for the places in the city that represent the highest level of cello in the country, such as the State Jiaotong University, Beijiao, and Philharmonic, has never stopped since the day he started learning cello.
Later, he discovered that yearning and love both have an end, and Beijing became the sand in his heart, covering him tightly.Rao even though he has lived a gentle and calm life for more than 20 years, and is content with whatever happens, he also feels that this time he may not be able to hold on.
Shanghai is fine.Shanghai let him relax. It is no longer like a string, but a bow. Tighten it when you need it, and loosen it when you don’t need it.
Shanghai is a warm and distanced city. Its spirit is more like a western city. People are polite and polite, keeping a distance of more than one meter between their hearts. Feel convenient, comfortable, and keep your secrets.This made him feel more like an independent individual, rather than someone's son, someone's husband, someone's student, or someone's teacher.
For the first 28 years of his life, Qu He has been looking forward to living a simple life with a short wife and children. He hopes that the people he loves will be by his side, and that he has the ability to make them happy, so he has gained happiness and peace.So even after going through so many ups and downs, even if the love for one person is not dead, and the heart for another person is no longer, he still chooses to compromise for the sake of the child. He doesn't know if it is right or not, he only knows that he is doing it for himself Want to live hard.
After breaking up with Cui Yao again, he once had the thought of abandoning himself and resenting God: Is my request too much?Why can't you give me such an ordinary day?
So he began to like Shanghai. The alleys here are not the alleys of Beijing. Here he has no acquaintances, let alone friends. The estranged relationship is like the shadow of a tree under a street lamp, blocking some and revealing some, with a calm and self-restraint, which makes him feel safe and at ease.That's fine, let's start all over again.
G. A name that makes people want to drink
However, Li Xunran came.
Qu He thought that he would agree to his mother's request and find someone to share the rent with, probably because this person is a male of the same age.
Qu He knows that his looks can be praised as "handsome", because he has been very popular with women since he was a child, but he has very few male friends.Others have strong buddies, but he only has a group of drunkard female classmates and female classmates who follow behind their buttocks and want to recognize him as his brother. In college, because of Cui Yao, he almost became half of the school. A thorn in the side of boys.
"But I don't care." Qu He always said this to himself, and also to others.He has the arrogance of a musician. Fortunately, he is a musician. Because of this status, others will be more tolerant of him. "Artists always have a weird temper."
But who really doesn't care?
Separated from Cui Yao for three years, the grievance in his heart has no one to tell, so he got out of hand and got out of control to the point of divorce; just because he could talk to the other party, and because of the other party's few words of relief, he He fell in love with Xia Bailu uncontrollably; but one day when he and Xia Bailu also came to the point where they were speechless, those emotions that were as thin as a hair, that kind of sadness that his heart was hollowed out, were tolerated time and time again. No one else is willing to tolerate his grievances, who can tell?
Qu He wanted to know, if he also had a close buddy, and when he was troubled, he would go out to drink and drink with him, and the two of them would chat with each other in a blushing and thick neck, if they didn't want to say or dare to say it if they were not drunk, would he not live forever? Like a taut string?Is this kind of request very high?Why does everyone have a good friend and he doesn't?
So he agreed to let Li Xunran come to live with him.This person's name sounds like a person who wants to drink, maybe we can drink with him at a street stall in the future and chat about our thoughts?
Unexpectedly, God was willing to give him more.
Not only does Li Xunran have a relaxing name, but he also has a face just like his own. When he smiles, he looks like a spring breeze, soft and warm, light and drunk, with sparkling eyes, like sprinkling a bend of spring water When it enters people's hearts, it seems to be saying: Tell me if you have any troubles, maybe I also have troubles to tell you.
Almost at the moment when the two met, Qu He had an inexplicable sense of closeness to Li Xunran, his heart seemed to be gently blown by someone, the layer of fine sand floated up with the fluctuating air, Gradually far away, never come back.
☆、I'm like you, but I'm not you (1)
A. Dad and Dad
Li Xunran has always been concerned about the matter of "why they look so similar".Searching for the truth is not only his professionalism as a criminal policeman for many years, but also an instinct.
So after a few days of calming down, he decided to call his dad.
"dad……"
"Xunran, how is it? Are you still used to living in Shanghai?"
"It's pretty good, but it's not easy to eat..."
"When you're new to a place, it's normal to not get used to eating. When Dad first arrived in Tongshi, it took him a long time to get used to it..."
"Really? I don't even remember when you came to Tongshi, was there me at that time?"
"Of course there is you. You were born in your hometown. Not long after you were born, I was transferred to work in Tongshi Public Security Bureau."
"Then, the Qu He who lives with me now, did you see him when he was a child?"
"It's not considered to have seen it, I just saw it when you two were born."
"The two of us were born?! Dad, you mean that Qu He and I were born together?!"
"Yeah, Qu and his father and I were from the same village when we were young. We went to elementary school together and we were good friends. Later, your mother and Qu and his mother were pregnant at about the same time. You two were born at the same time in the same hospital in the town. , At that time, we also said that these two children are really destined..."
"Then do you know how much I look like Qu He?"
"Does that kid Qu He look like you? Well... people in the village always said that I look like your Uncle Qu, so it's not surprising that you look like Qu He. Speaking of which, when I was young, I used to listen to the old people in the village Said, in the village where we live, many people are related. I used to always ask your grandparents if our family is related to your Uncle Qu’s family. Otherwise, why do we look so similar, but even you Grandparents don't know either..."
Li Xunran didn't expect that he had such a relationship with Qu He, so he lost his mind for a moment, and didn't pay much attention to what his father said later, but could this really explain that he had the same appearance as Qu He's twins?
On the issue of "look alike", Qu He is not as stubborn as Li Xunran.He is not a policeman, he is a musician, he prefers to believe that this is a gift from God, a kind of beautiful coincidence, it is a decree in the dark, to search for the truth like a detective, that would be terrible.Like, if someone gave you a nice gift, would you ask where you bought it?
So after the shock of the initial meeting passed, Qu He didn't take this matter to heart. He just occasionally mentioned it when he was on the phone with his mother, and asked about the relationship between his father and Uncle Li. When Mom said that Dad and Uncle Li looked quite alike, he took it for granted that this was the correct answer. Dad looks alike, and so does Son. What's so strange about that?
He just put the matter behind him with peace of mind.
When Li Xunran expressed the answer he got from his father with nine points of relief and one point of doubt, Qu He laughed and patted Li Xunran on the shoulder: "I just said that you kid thinks too much." , maybe we were really relatives 800 years ago."
Li Xunran frowned and stared at him: "Is there any relative who looks like this?"
"Why not? If it's not a relative, there is someone who looks similar. You see, there was a photo posted on the Internet a while ago. That black man looks exactly like Liang Qichao!"
"Hahahaha, don't be ridiculous! But I've seen that picture too, it's so similar!" Li Xunran stretched his brows, as if he finally accepted the phrase "people without blood relationship can also look alike" set up.
B. Therapy and acting
Li Xunran's psychology course is still in the introductory stage, so he has a lot of spare time.What he needs now is a lot of supplementary and memorized theoretical knowledge.Fortunately, he has experience in handling cases in the past, comparing the performance of the suspect and victim in the case with the theory he learned, he learned it surprisingly quickly.
Professor Liu did not have any problems with the treatment. The only problem is that he didn't find any hidden illness in Li Xunran's heart. This young man's heart is as simple and clear as his appearance, and every time he chatted, he went smoothly. joy.It's not that Li Xunran didn't tell Professor Liu about Bo Jinyan's worries. Hearing that it was a problem that this famous criminal psychologist couldn't solve, Professor Liu was also a little hesitant.However, the research on criminal psychology and the treatment of psychological trauma cannot be generalized after all. Professor Liu did not underestimate himself, but slowed down the speed of the chat, and expanded the content of the chat from the hijacking incident, hoping to find out from all aspects of Li Xunran's life. Some clues.
Seeing Professor Liu's unnoticeable depression after recent treatments, Li Xunran couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "Professor Liu, don't worry too much about me. Maybe Professor Bo cares about me and makes mistakes in judgment. Or I have recovered at all, without leaving any psychological sequelae. You see, it has been more than a year, haven't I been fine!"
Professor Liu knew that the child was well-intentioned, so he couldn't bear to ignore him: "Psychological treatment is a long process, and it's normal to encounter some difficulties in the middle. Besides, you are in such a good condition now, I don't think you need to worry too much. .”
"That's right, we still have two years to go, take your time." Li Xunran was not heartless, he just always believed that optimism would bring people good luck.
It was by chance that Qu He learned that the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra was recruiting for the principal cello. His resume and ability were undisputed, and he was admitted without any surprises.It was not until he joined the orchestra that he realized that it was not an exaggeration to say that he was lucky.
It was the music season, with frequent performances, but the original principal cellist in the troupe suddenly resigned due to personal reasons.It is generally difficult for the chief of a symphony orchestra to undergo major changes. Unless the musicians resign or other irresistible factors occur, the orchestra will not take the initiative to change the chief candidate.According to the unwritten rules of the orchestra, if there is a vacancy for the chief of each group, the deputy chief and other pianists who are ranked behind are eligible to compete for the seat of chief. Generally speaking, the vice chief is more likely to get it. , basically he is equivalent to the chief substitute.
However, what the leaders of the group did not expect was that the deputy chief also handed in his resignation on the second day after the chief resigned. Generally speaking, it is difficult to find a candidate who is qualified to be the chief.
Open recruitment is inevitable, and Qu He's strength is unquestionable, and he deserves the position of chief.This made him believe more and more that Shanghai is a city that can bring him good luck.
Good luck is there, but time is running out. As soon as Qu He arrived in Shanghai, he devoted himself to frequent performance rehearsals and had no time to rest for more than a month. It was not until another week after meeting Li Xunran that he officially took a rest. A weekend.
I can't live up to the great rest time. Although the landlord of the small western-style building has equipped the house with simple furniture, if you want to live comfortably, you can't do it without adding some things yourself.When Qu He told Li Xunran, the two hit it off immediately, and agreed to go to IKEA together on weekends.
C. Officer Li and Professor Qu
Sitting on the subway, Li Xunran stretched his neck and looked around every few minutes, his eyes were as far away as two carriages away.
Qu He looked amused, and couldn't help asking: "Officer Li, are we here to handle the case in undercover? Are you looking for a suspect?"
Li Xunran turned his head with a bit of a naughty smile: "Didn't you say that you can often see strange things on Line [-] in Shanghai? Superman, Batman, etc. Why haven't I seen a single one since I've been here for so long? "
Qu He thought he was really interesting, so he tried not to laugh out loud, hooked his fingers, motioned for him to come over by his ear, and pretended to be about to tell him a big secret.
Li Xunran was amazed, and hurriedly moved forward with his ears pricked up.
Qu He cupped his hands to his mouth and whispered to him, "Because Line [-] has recently been assigned to Fulian."
"Women's Federation? Why does the Women's Federation manage the subway?" Li Xunran was confused.
"Then I don't know. Anyway, Iron Man only told me so much, otherwise I'll give you his call, and you can ask him yourself?" Qu Zhengzhenghe said very seriously.
Li Xunran blinked his eyes and reacted for two seconds, then covered his stomach and laughed: "Hahahahaha, Avengers... Hahaha, Avengers...Professor Qu, you really laughed me to death, from now on you will Be my royal pistachio, hahahahahaha..."
Qu He had been holding back his laughter for a long time until his stomach ached, and now he couldn't hold back anymore. His barbell-like laughter attracted the attention of people around him. Oh, it wasn't actually the laughter. From that moment on, the rate of turning heads has already exploded: "Look at those twins, they are so handsome, my God!" , I'm going to faint!"...
The two handsome guys thought they were used to being stared at by nymphomaniacs since they were young, so they were relatively calm and walked into IKEA without looking sideways.
Qu He wanted to add two sets of bed sheets and quilt covers for himself, and Li Xunran wanted to buy a bed table. Qu He was shocked: "Master, why do you want a bed table? Eat on the bed?!" "Yes! When I was hospitalized Only then did I realize that the bed table is really great, I can eat my meals while lying on the bed, and I don’t want to get up on weekends, and I won’t be hungry.” Seeing Li Xunran’s natural look, Qu He almost wanted to throw him a Eyes wide open: "Usually, I really don't notice it. Seeing you asking for cooking, I thought you were very hardworking. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. The dignified people's policeman is too lazy to go to heaven."
"I don't call it lazy, I call it enjoying life." Li Xunran ignored him, and pushed a bedside table by himself, "This one looks good, but it's a bit heavy, pushing it back and forth too tired."
Qu He had no choice but to shake his head with a smile. He watched him walk from one sample room to another. He was very focused on choosing, so he hurriedly turned his head to get a pencil and paper from the shopping guide shelf next to him, followed him, and said while walking. : "Young master, have you ever thought that you will only live here for two years, and you will still check this desk home in the future?"
Li Xunran stopped in his tracks, apparently he hadn't thought about this issue, but he turned his eyes immediately, smiled and said to Qu He: "It's okay, this table will be given to you when the time comes, it's a fate to get to know each other, Leave a memory for you."
"Hey, thank you, Eldest Young Master, for the reward."
"You're welcome, you can get back on your feet."
D. honey in lemonade
The people at IKEA have always lived up to expectations, and the two were squeezed in the crowd, and finally walked to the children's area near the exit on the second floor.
Li Xunran found that Qu He obviously quickened his pace, as if he wanted to quickly pass through this playful place full of children's screams, and escape.
Li Xunran had no choice but to follow quickly, accidentally bumping into Qu He's back.I was about to ask him why he stopped suddenly, but found that he didn't seem to feel anything strange behind him at all, but stared at something beside him.
Following Qu Hezhi's staring gaze, there was a crib.
It's a very simple solid wood crib, covered with a powder blue quilt, which looks soft, like a ball of good-tempered cotton.Nothing else.
But just now Qu He's eyes flashed brightly, but he immediately stopped them, and the corners of his tightly pursed mouth were three parts perplexed and two parts sad.Li Xunran had never seen Qu He like this before, and was a little at a loss.
It was Qu He himself who looked away first, and then found that Li Xunran was standing beside him staring at him.He smiled at Li Xunran and said, "It's okay, I would have had a child too, but I lost it later." After speaking, he continued to walk forward.
Li Xunran felt that Qu He's smile just now was very astringent, as if he squeezed a few drops of lemon juice on his heart, causing the heart to contract suddenly, so sour that he almost stopped breathing.He caught up with Qu He in a few steps, stretched out his left hand to grab Qu He's shoulder and patted Qu He lightly twice, without asking anything.
Qu He followed Li Xunran's gesture of withdrawing his hand, and smiled again.The smile this time is like a small drop of honey in a large glass of lemonade, which is almost unbelievably sweet, and it disappears in the blink of an eye.
The two walked silently to the exit on the second floor, and were about to go downstairs to the small items area, when Li Xunran suddenly stopped and glanced in the direction of the restaurant.
Qu He said, "Let's go shopping after dinner."
Li Xunran ordered a beef tenderloin rice with pepper, and took a grilled chicken wing, Qu He ordered a medium portion of meatballs, and another order of broccoli.
The advantage of foodies being together is that as long as there is food in front of them, no amount of embarrassment can be resolved.Qu He seemed to be really hungry, impatiently inserted a meatball, chewed it a few times before swallowing it, and hurriedly said to Li Xunran, "Try this meatball, the IKEA brand."
Li Xunran was uncharacteristically, he didn't bury his whole body in the rice bowl to eat bitterly, he was using a fork to pierce the chicken wings, and when one was inserted, he lifted it up and shook it to the plate: "Come on, chicken wings, my favorite." After speaking, he abducted a ball.
Qu He originally thought that Police Officer Li was going to show his professional qualities again, and asked about the crib incident just now, but he didn't expect him to look normal, as if he didn't intend to mention it at all, and unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.It's not that I can't or don't want to say some things, it's just that I'm not ready to cross the one-meter line.
"This hot pepper is not spicy at all!" Li Xunran poked the plate angrily on the opposite side, Qu He raised his head, this time there was no lemon in his smile, it was all honey: "I will take you to eat Zhending chicken another day, they The homemade hot sauce is a must!"
"It's really that delicious?" Li Xunran's eyes lit up obviously.
"I lied to you that I was my brother."
The small items area on the first floor begins with shopping for kitchen supplies.
Li Xunran felt that since he was going to cook with a fire, he had to do things decently. In that kitchen, he used a frying pan to rule the world. That day he even cooked tomato soup in a frying pan. Can this be tolerated?
Qu He attacked him from the side: "You bought these odds and ends and left them to me in the future?" "Give it all to you, don't you musicians pay attention to the quality of life? I don't think you pay much attention to it like I do." .”
Qu He was not annoyed, he just smiled: "Someone always said that I don't have a good taste in clothes, and it all depends on my character."
"I don't think your sheets are very good. I will help you choose two beds later."
"Officer Li turned out to be quite good at dressing."
"I didn't think so at first, but Yaoyao always said that the clothes I chose for myself were not bad."
Qu He's heart skipped a beat: "Yaoyao?"
"Oh, Jian Yao, my childhood sweetheart."
Cui Yao's face flashed across his mind for an instant, Qu He collected himself, and looked at Li Xunran with a smile on his lips: "Girlfriend?"
Li Xunran blushed and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, it's just a good friend relationship."
Qu He continued to laugh and didn't speak any more.Li Xunran quickly turned his head away, picked up a frying pan and looked around.
Good friend, Qu He repeatedly said this word in his heart, he was a little envious of Li Xunran, although he felt that Jian Yao was not as simple as a good friend in Li Xunran's heart, but at least she could chat with Li Xunran people who talk.
Kankan walked around for another hour, and the two of them walked out of the cash register with a large cart of things. They realized when they were about to go home. Now in Shanghai, neither of them has a car.
Qu He's car was given to Cui Yao before leaving Beijing, and Li Xunran only stayed in Shanghai for two years, and it was impossible for him to transport his Audi here from far away, so he chose a place close to the subway.
Some people who are used to cars forget their current situation for a moment, and they are not relentless when buying things, especially Li Xunran's bed table, which is a long wooden board more than one meter long, looks worrying.
"Let IKEA deliver the goods." Qu He said.
"That's the only way." Li Xunran looked at his bed table reluctantly, it seemed that he would not be able to have breakfast on this table tomorrow morning, what a pity it was a good Sunday.
E. This is my cousin
After shopping, empty hands.Li Xunran suggested with a little reluctance: "Since today is a shopping day, let's just buy enough. Don't you say that your dressing taste is not good, let's go shopping, and I will give you two sets of clothes for reference?"
Qu He thought that when he was in Beijing, he was only a university professor, and his income was not very rich, so he prepared a set of performance costumes. Although the orchestra now provides uniform performance costumes, in the future, he will teach students, go to the conservatory of music as a guest professor, and even For various activities such as film and television drama recordings, one should not dress too casually. Moreover, the treatment of the chief is good in the regiment now. It is reasonable to add a few sets of clothes.
After the two discussed it properly, they didn't take the subway home and changed the direction to Xujiahui.
Xujiahui was right next to IKEA, and the two of them strolled along the way, wandering over.At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has brought some hotness from early summer, and the whole body is sweating finely.After Li Xunran came to Shanghai, he hasn’t visited the bustling areas of the city, and Qu He is not much better. His daily life radius is from his home to the orchestra, and the orchestra’s home. The circle is dumbfounded.
Drive the navigation to the crowded intersection, the opposite is Grand Gateway, there is Pacific Department Store here, and the Oriental Commercial Building is on the road next to it.Li Xunran saw that Qu He also looked confused, not sure which one to buy, so he took out his mobile phone and asked Baidu if he was undecided, otherwise Dianping would be fine.
Qu He went over to look at the netizens' comments on the grades of several shopping malls: "Go to Ganghui, it feels like the price we can afford."
On weekends, there are people everywhere in Xujiahui, and there are many people in Grand Gateway Plaza, but there are not many big men shopping together, not to mention that these two people are so eye-catching.
"Teacher Qu!" Li Xunran was pointing to Qu He to look at an iron gray shirt when he heard someone calling him from afar.Looking back, it was Fang Mengqiu, the deputy chief cellist in the regiment.
Fang Mengqiu also had fantasies about being the chief, but after a rehearsal with Qu He, he was convinced. From an ordinary musician to the deputy chief, this result is already good.
The seats of the chief and deputy principals are next to each other during the performance, and they share a music stand, and the deputy chief has to do all the work of turning the scores.As soon as Qu He joined the troupe, he frequently participated in several large-scale performances. He has cooperated many times and is familiar with Fang Mengqiu.
Qu He couldn't help laughing at his foodie face, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll treat you, you can order whatever you want, just order whatever you want. Hey... don't worry, wait until I get the bag..."
Li Xunran was eager to beg for food, and walked ahead excitedly all the way, asking: "Where is that restaurant?" Qu He followed behind a little half a step behind, pointing out: "Cross Shaanxi South Road...turn right at the intersection ahead , did you see that alley, it's at the entrance of the alley, that's the house." He didn't realize it himself, and he kept smiling during the whole process.
It turned out to be quite a decent Hunan restaurant. It is a small two-story building decorated in a rustic style. There are wooden tables and chairs covered with varnish. It is not as greasy as the wooden tables and chairs in many restaurants, which is rare.In the lobby downstairs, there is a row of elegant rooms on the left side of the upper floor, and a row of booths on the right side are ingeniously set up with a railing.
Qu He seemed to have been here several times, and led Li Xunran up to the second floor, picked a booth in the back and sat down, and stretched out his hand to call for the waiter.As we walked along the way, the sky was getting dark, and those returning home in a hurry didn't care about the scenery around them. The similar looks of the two of them didn't attract any attention, but it was different when they entered this Hunan restaurant. The waiter girl He came to the table in response, and before he could speak, he froze on the spot, trying to maintain his professionalism, and asked, "What do you two want?" After all, he didn't keep his eyes open, and sneaked a glance at the two people sitting at the table. Aim again.
Knowing that she was curious, Qu He didn't pursue it, and handed the menu to Li Xunran: "Order casually, don't save me money."
Li Xunran was also polite, opened the menu and read it from beginning to end, smacking his lips while reading: "What should I do, I want to eat a lot of dishes, and I can't finish them if I order too much."
Qu and himself didn't know why they laughed so much today: "Order, order, if you can't finish eating, let's pack it up, and you won't have to worry about the meal tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Li Xunran is obviously immersed in the world of food, and has no time to pay attention to the voices of the outside world. Frowning, he almost turned over the menu before making up his mind to start ordering: "This bamboo stick shrimp, here is a fan, oh, yes Lotus root soup, do you want to eat lotus root?" He raised his head and asked, Qu He nodded with a smile, Li Xunran turned to the order girl and said, "I want another ribs and lotus root soup, you can order the rest. "The second half of the sentence is to Qu He.
Qu He took the menu with a smile: "You're very polite." "I haven't eaten here before, so I don't know what the signature dish is. You have experience, so you order it. I'm not picky, I eat everything."
With a persistent smile on his lips, Qu He ordered another signature fish head, a portion of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and after thinking about it, he added a hot and sour lotus root belt, so that the little girl could serve the dishes quickly.
"It's your first time here. I don't know if you're used to the taste of his house. You can order these. If you think it's delicious, we'll come back later." Li Xunran nodded and said with a greedy expression: "It's spicy. I like all of them, and I’m sure I’m used to them.”
Qu He laughed again, and he couldn't stop laughing all afternoon.Maybe the busy performance is finally coming to an end, the more I feel relaxed, the more I laugh, and even those troubles before coming to Shanghai seem to be really left in Beijing, and I don’t think about them anymore.
D. The most familiar stranger
Li Xunran didn't know if it was due to the professional instinct of a criminal policeman, since he met Qu He, he had an old love to study Qu He's problems behind his back.
Most of this problem stems from curiosity. After living for 29 years, he never knew what he looked like in the eyes of others. Make up for the 29 years of research on my own unknown side.
As for the reason for the other half, don't ask Li Xunran, he hasn't even thought about it himself.
After starting to study Qu He, Li Xunran felt that he might really be quite handsome.Thick eyebrows, big eyes, slender waist, long legs, shaved facial contours, thin and moist lips, high and straight nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and long eyelashes, so the profile looks very good .But these are not the point, the point is to show a kind of straightness from the inside out. Could it be because Qu He is a musician, so he has a good temperament?So am I going to be close to it myself?After thinking about it, Li Xunran unconsciously went to the full-length mirror to take a picture of the front, then the side, and wanted to take a picture of the back, but couldn't. His neck was so painful that he looked at it for a long time, and finally confirmed: the back is also straight, Probably not too bad.He breathed a sigh of relief.
After observing for a long time, Li Xunran found that he and Qu He were not complete replicas.Even if the lines on Qu He's face are as tough as his own, but the whole body reveals a very soft light, how should I put it, it's the kind that makes people not afraid to approach him at all, even if he gets angry again, you won't Afraid—although I haven’t seen him angry yet—he must be amiable, Li Xunran thought for a long time, and came up with such a word, which he thinks is quite appropriate to describe Qu He (Qu He will probably cry if he knows, this word is also It's too old-fashioned).
Although Qu He was born in Hubei, and went to university and worked in Beijing for several years, he looks more like a good man in Shanghai.The principal cellist of the dignified symphony orchestra is actually very homely. When he is not performing, he seldom goes out to socialize. He just stays at home practicing the piano, reading books, and taking care of the students. Well, he is not good at cooking, and his skills are a little worse than mine.
When thinking about food, Li Xunran felt a little depressed.Two big men live together, and neither of them is good at cooking. This day feels a little bit better.The meal at noon is settled in the canteen of the work unit and the school respectively. Breakfast is okay. I buy a rice ball bun from a street stall or a convenience store, and boil an egg (Qu He seems to have an obsession with eggs, and cooks six or seven every morning). With milk, the nutrition is also good, after all, it is not good to eat small wontons every day.It’s troublesome at night, I always eat big meals outside, no one is an overbearing president, the wallet can’t be so big all the time, I feel like I’m being treated badly after a simple meal, working hard from morning to night, and a bowl of noodles is enough?
Li Xunran decided to have a good talk with Qu He about the three meals a day tonight. He had forgotten that during the week that Qu He was on a business trip in Beijing, he had to deal with eating out every day...
E. I chop vegetables and you wash the dishes
"Why do you like eggs so much? Every morning you cook a big plate!" Li Xunran didn't know why he asked such a question first.
Qu He was completely confused about the topic of this conversation, and answered honestly: "My mother said that it is better to eat more eggs. When I was young, my family was poor and there were no other nutritional supplements. My mother always loved to boil eggs for me. Get used to it."
Li Xunran educated him with a scientific attitude: "Eggs are good, but eating too many is useless. Two a day is enough. You can cook up to four eggs in the morning, two for our family."
Qu He continued to be obedient: "Okay."
"Then let's talk about dinner." Li Xunran suddenly felt that his posture was a bit like interrogating suspects in the past, so he burst out laughing.
Qu He was stunned by the laugh, and looked at himself with a guilty conscience, but didn't find any flaws in his body, so he could only look at him: "Say it."
"Can we divide the work and cooperate to make dinner in the future? Except when we eat out, can we make dinner at home once a week and make something good?"
"It's okay, but I don't know how to do it..."
"I'm the one who does it. Anyway, I have more time than you. In fact, what I can do is limited, but I can learn it, and you can learn how to do it. Before you learn it, you should help choose vegetables and chop vegetables. You know how to cut vegetables, right?" ?”
"I play the cello, but my hands are very precious. You asked me to chop vegetables? What if I cut my hands?"
Li Xunran thought about it too, the guy who can't touch people to eat: "Then you wash the dishes."
"That's no problem. I'm used to washing dishes in Beijing." Qu He readily agreed.
Li Xunran thought to himself: Are you used to it?A bachelor who doesn’t know how to cook either orders takeout or eats casually outside. If he really wants to make a bowl of noodles at home, this kind of workload is not worthy of the description of “washing dishes frequently”.
Just as he was about to tease the song and say a few words, washing a noodle bowl is ashamed to be used to it, Li Xunran suddenly remembered those "Guidelines for Pregnancy" and "Being a Good Dad", and swallowed the words again.
Qu He may be a person with a story.
F. Beijing Shanghai
Qu He has been in Shanghai for more than a month, and he is gradually getting used to living in this city, familiar with the streets planted with plane trees and the alleys full of clothes drying poles.At first, he couldn’t bear to look directly at the aunt in pajamas walking casually on the street. When he passed through the narrow alley, the big quilt on his head was blown up by the wind, and he often surprised him. Now he has fallen in love with the subway network extending in all directions. , Sometimes I even feel that it is good to walk under the green trees on the side of the road.
It's so different from Beijing here.
When he was in Beijing, he always felt that he was a string, and if he was not tense, he would not be able to make any sound.The sky in Beijing is always a bit gray and obscure, like his state of mind in the past four years, as if a thin layer of sand has been sprinkled on his heart, which cannot be washed away by water or brushed away with his hands. The process can only bring about a trifling and excruciating pain, leaving bloodstains that are hard to see with the naked eye, and it is futile.
He remembers that he really loved the city of Beijing in the past, and his longing for the places in the city that represent the highest level of cello in the country, such as the State Jiaotong University, Beijiao, and Philharmonic, has never stopped since the day he started learning cello.
Later, he discovered that yearning and love both have an end, and Beijing became the sand in his heart, covering him tightly.Rao even though he has lived a gentle and calm life for more than 20 years, and is content with whatever happens, he also feels that this time he may not be able to hold on.
Shanghai is fine.Shanghai let him relax. It is no longer like a string, but a bow. Tighten it when you need it, and loosen it when you don’t need it.
Shanghai is a warm and distanced city. Its spirit is more like a western city. People are polite and polite, keeping a distance of more than one meter between their hearts. Feel convenient, comfortable, and keep your secrets.This made him feel more like an independent individual, rather than someone's son, someone's husband, someone's student, or someone's teacher.
For the first 28 years of his life, Qu He has been looking forward to living a simple life with a short wife and children. He hopes that the people he loves will be by his side, and that he has the ability to make them happy, so he has gained happiness and peace.So even after going through so many ups and downs, even if the love for one person is not dead, and the heart for another person is no longer, he still chooses to compromise for the sake of the child. He doesn't know if it is right or not, he only knows that he is doing it for himself Want to live hard.
After breaking up with Cui Yao again, he once had the thought of abandoning himself and resenting God: Is my request too much?Why can't you give me such an ordinary day?
So he began to like Shanghai. The alleys here are not the alleys of Beijing. Here he has no acquaintances, let alone friends. The estranged relationship is like the shadow of a tree under a street lamp, blocking some and revealing some, with a calm and self-restraint, which makes him feel safe and at ease.That's fine, let's start all over again.
G. A name that makes people want to drink
However, Li Xunran came.
Qu He thought that he would agree to his mother's request and find someone to share the rent with, probably because this person is a male of the same age.
Qu He knows that his looks can be praised as "handsome", because he has been very popular with women since he was a child, but he has very few male friends.Others have strong buddies, but he only has a group of drunkard female classmates and female classmates who follow behind their buttocks and want to recognize him as his brother. In college, because of Cui Yao, he almost became half of the school. A thorn in the side of boys.
"But I don't care." Qu He always said this to himself, and also to others.He has the arrogance of a musician. Fortunately, he is a musician. Because of this status, others will be more tolerant of him. "Artists always have a weird temper."
But who really doesn't care?
Separated from Cui Yao for three years, the grievance in his heart has no one to tell, so he got out of hand and got out of control to the point of divorce; just because he could talk to the other party, and because of the other party's few words of relief, he He fell in love with Xia Bailu uncontrollably; but one day when he and Xia Bailu also came to the point where they were speechless, those emotions that were as thin as a hair, that kind of sadness that his heart was hollowed out, were tolerated time and time again. No one else is willing to tolerate his grievances, who can tell?
Qu He wanted to know, if he also had a close buddy, and when he was troubled, he would go out to drink and drink with him, and the two of them would chat with each other in a blushing and thick neck, if they didn't want to say or dare to say it if they were not drunk, would he not live forever? Like a taut string?Is this kind of request very high?Why does everyone have a good friend and he doesn't?
So he agreed to let Li Xunran come to live with him.This person's name sounds like a person who wants to drink, maybe we can drink with him at a street stall in the future and chat about our thoughts?
Unexpectedly, God was willing to give him more.
Not only does Li Xunran have a relaxing name, but he also has a face just like his own. When he smiles, he looks like a spring breeze, soft and warm, light and drunk, with sparkling eyes, like sprinkling a bend of spring water When it enters people's hearts, it seems to be saying: Tell me if you have any troubles, maybe I also have troubles to tell you.
Almost at the moment when the two met, Qu He had an inexplicable sense of closeness to Li Xunran, his heart seemed to be gently blown by someone, the layer of fine sand floated up with the fluctuating air, Gradually far away, never come back.
☆、I'm like you, but I'm not you (1)
A. Dad and Dad
Li Xunran has always been concerned about the matter of "why they look so similar".Searching for the truth is not only his professionalism as a criminal policeman for many years, but also an instinct.
So after a few days of calming down, he decided to call his dad.
"dad……"
"Xunran, how is it? Are you still used to living in Shanghai?"
"It's pretty good, but it's not easy to eat..."
"When you're new to a place, it's normal to not get used to eating. When Dad first arrived in Tongshi, it took him a long time to get used to it..."
"Really? I don't even remember when you came to Tongshi, was there me at that time?"
"Of course there is you. You were born in your hometown. Not long after you were born, I was transferred to work in Tongshi Public Security Bureau."
"Then, the Qu He who lives with me now, did you see him when he was a child?"
"It's not considered to have seen it, I just saw it when you two were born."
"The two of us were born?! Dad, you mean that Qu He and I were born together?!"
"Yeah, Qu and his father and I were from the same village when we were young. We went to elementary school together and we were good friends. Later, your mother and Qu and his mother were pregnant at about the same time. You two were born at the same time in the same hospital in the town. , At that time, we also said that these two children are really destined..."
"Then do you know how much I look like Qu He?"
"Does that kid Qu He look like you? Well... people in the village always said that I look like your Uncle Qu, so it's not surprising that you look like Qu He. Speaking of which, when I was young, I used to listen to the old people in the village Said, in the village where we live, many people are related. I used to always ask your grandparents if our family is related to your Uncle Qu’s family. Otherwise, why do we look so similar, but even you Grandparents don't know either..."
Li Xunran didn't expect that he had such a relationship with Qu He, so he lost his mind for a moment, and didn't pay much attention to what his father said later, but could this really explain that he had the same appearance as Qu He's twins?
On the issue of "look alike", Qu He is not as stubborn as Li Xunran.He is not a policeman, he is a musician, he prefers to believe that this is a gift from God, a kind of beautiful coincidence, it is a decree in the dark, to search for the truth like a detective, that would be terrible.Like, if someone gave you a nice gift, would you ask where you bought it?
So after the shock of the initial meeting passed, Qu He didn't take this matter to heart. He just occasionally mentioned it when he was on the phone with his mother, and asked about the relationship between his father and Uncle Li. When Mom said that Dad and Uncle Li looked quite alike, he took it for granted that this was the correct answer. Dad looks alike, and so does Son. What's so strange about that?
He just put the matter behind him with peace of mind.
When Li Xunran expressed the answer he got from his father with nine points of relief and one point of doubt, Qu He laughed and patted Li Xunran on the shoulder: "I just said that you kid thinks too much." , maybe we were really relatives 800 years ago."
Li Xunran frowned and stared at him: "Is there any relative who looks like this?"
"Why not? If it's not a relative, there is someone who looks similar. You see, there was a photo posted on the Internet a while ago. That black man looks exactly like Liang Qichao!"
"Hahahaha, don't be ridiculous! But I've seen that picture too, it's so similar!" Li Xunran stretched his brows, as if he finally accepted the phrase "people without blood relationship can also look alike" set up.
B. Therapy and acting
Li Xunran's psychology course is still in the introductory stage, so he has a lot of spare time.What he needs now is a lot of supplementary and memorized theoretical knowledge.Fortunately, he has experience in handling cases in the past, comparing the performance of the suspect and victim in the case with the theory he learned, he learned it surprisingly quickly.
Professor Liu did not have any problems with the treatment. The only problem is that he didn't find any hidden illness in Li Xunran's heart. This young man's heart is as simple and clear as his appearance, and every time he chatted, he went smoothly. joy.It's not that Li Xunran didn't tell Professor Liu about Bo Jinyan's worries. Hearing that it was a problem that this famous criminal psychologist couldn't solve, Professor Liu was also a little hesitant.However, the research on criminal psychology and the treatment of psychological trauma cannot be generalized after all. Professor Liu did not underestimate himself, but slowed down the speed of the chat, and expanded the content of the chat from the hijacking incident, hoping to find out from all aspects of Li Xunran's life. Some clues.
Seeing Professor Liu's unnoticeable depression after recent treatments, Li Xunran couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "Professor Liu, don't worry too much about me. Maybe Professor Bo cares about me and makes mistakes in judgment. Or I have recovered at all, without leaving any psychological sequelae. You see, it has been more than a year, haven't I been fine!"
Professor Liu knew that the child was well-intentioned, so he couldn't bear to ignore him: "Psychological treatment is a long process, and it's normal to encounter some difficulties in the middle. Besides, you are in such a good condition now, I don't think you need to worry too much. .”
"That's right, we still have two years to go, take your time." Li Xunran was not heartless, he just always believed that optimism would bring people good luck.
It was by chance that Qu He learned that the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra was recruiting for the principal cello. His resume and ability were undisputed, and he was admitted without any surprises.It was not until he joined the orchestra that he realized that it was not an exaggeration to say that he was lucky.
It was the music season, with frequent performances, but the original principal cellist in the troupe suddenly resigned due to personal reasons.It is generally difficult for the chief of a symphony orchestra to undergo major changes. Unless the musicians resign or other irresistible factors occur, the orchestra will not take the initiative to change the chief candidate.According to the unwritten rules of the orchestra, if there is a vacancy for the chief of each group, the deputy chief and other pianists who are ranked behind are eligible to compete for the seat of chief. Generally speaking, the vice chief is more likely to get it. , basically he is equivalent to the chief substitute.
However, what the leaders of the group did not expect was that the deputy chief also handed in his resignation on the second day after the chief resigned. Generally speaking, it is difficult to find a candidate who is qualified to be the chief.
Open recruitment is inevitable, and Qu He's strength is unquestionable, and he deserves the position of chief.This made him believe more and more that Shanghai is a city that can bring him good luck.
Good luck is there, but time is running out. As soon as Qu He arrived in Shanghai, he devoted himself to frequent performance rehearsals and had no time to rest for more than a month. It was not until another week after meeting Li Xunran that he officially took a rest. A weekend.
I can't live up to the great rest time. Although the landlord of the small western-style building has equipped the house with simple furniture, if you want to live comfortably, you can't do it without adding some things yourself.When Qu He told Li Xunran, the two hit it off immediately, and agreed to go to IKEA together on weekends.
C. Officer Li and Professor Qu
Sitting on the subway, Li Xunran stretched his neck and looked around every few minutes, his eyes were as far away as two carriages away.
Qu He looked amused, and couldn't help asking: "Officer Li, are we here to handle the case in undercover? Are you looking for a suspect?"
Li Xunran turned his head with a bit of a naughty smile: "Didn't you say that you can often see strange things on Line [-] in Shanghai? Superman, Batman, etc. Why haven't I seen a single one since I've been here for so long? "
Qu He thought he was really interesting, so he tried not to laugh out loud, hooked his fingers, motioned for him to come over by his ear, and pretended to be about to tell him a big secret.
Li Xunran was amazed, and hurriedly moved forward with his ears pricked up.
Qu He cupped his hands to his mouth and whispered to him, "Because Line [-] has recently been assigned to Fulian."
"Women's Federation? Why does the Women's Federation manage the subway?" Li Xunran was confused.
"Then I don't know. Anyway, Iron Man only told me so much, otherwise I'll give you his call, and you can ask him yourself?" Qu Zhengzhenghe said very seriously.
Li Xunran blinked his eyes and reacted for two seconds, then covered his stomach and laughed: "Hahahahaha, Avengers... Hahaha, Avengers...Professor Qu, you really laughed me to death, from now on you will Be my royal pistachio, hahahahahaha..."
Qu He had been holding back his laughter for a long time until his stomach ached, and now he couldn't hold back anymore. His barbell-like laughter attracted the attention of people around him. Oh, it wasn't actually the laughter. From that moment on, the rate of turning heads has already exploded: "Look at those twins, they are so handsome, my God!" , I'm going to faint!"...
The two handsome guys thought they were used to being stared at by nymphomaniacs since they were young, so they were relatively calm and walked into IKEA without looking sideways.
Qu He wanted to add two sets of bed sheets and quilt covers for himself, and Li Xunran wanted to buy a bed table. Qu He was shocked: "Master, why do you want a bed table? Eat on the bed?!" "Yes! When I was hospitalized Only then did I realize that the bed table is really great, I can eat my meals while lying on the bed, and I don’t want to get up on weekends, and I won’t be hungry.” Seeing Li Xunran’s natural look, Qu He almost wanted to throw him a Eyes wide open: "Usually, I really don't notice it. Seeing you asking for cooking, I thought you were very hardworking. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. The dignified people's policeman is too lazy to go to heaven."
"I don't call it lazy, I call it enjoying life." Li Xunran ignored him, and pushed a bedside table by himself, "This one looks good, but it's a bit heavy, pushing it back and forth too tired."
Qu He had no choice but to shake his head with a smile. He watched him walk from one sample room to another. He was very focused on choosing, so he hurriedly turned his head to get a pencil and paper from the shopping guide shelf next to him, followed him, and said while walking. : "Young master, have you ever thought that you will only live here for two years, and you will still check this desk home in the future?"
Li Xunran stopped in his tracks, apparently he hadn't thought about this issue, but he turned his eyes immediately, smiled and said to Qu He: "It's okay, this table will be given to you when the time comes, it's a fate to get to know each other, Leave a memory for you."
"Hey, thank you, Eldest Young Master, for the reward."
"You're welcome, you can get back on your feet."
D. honey in lemonade
The people at IKEA have always lived up to expectations, and the two were squeezed in the crowd, and finally walked to the children's area near the exit on the second floor.
Li Xunran found that Qu He obviously quickened his pace, as if he wanted to quickly pass through this playful place full of children's screams, and escape.
Li Xunran had no choice but to follow quickly, accidentally bumping into Qu He's back.I was about to ask him why he stopped suddenly, but found that he didn't seem to feel anything strange behind him at all, but stared at something beside him.
Following Qu Hezhi's staring gaze, there was a crib.
It's a very simple solid wood crib, covered with a powder blue quilt, which looks soft, like a ball of good-tempered cotton.Nothing else.
But just now Qu He's eyes flashed brightly, but he immediately stopped them, and the corners of his tightly pursed mouth were three parts perplexed and two parts sad.Li Xunran had never seen Qu He like this before, and was a little at a loss.
It was Qu He himself who looked away first, and then found that Li Xunran was standing beside him staring at him.He smiled at Li Xunran and said, "It's okay, I would have had a child too, but I lost it later." After speaking, he continued to walk forward.
Li Xunran felt that Qu He's smile just now was very astringent, as if he squeezed a few drops of lemon juice on his heart, causing the heart to contract suddenly, so sour that he almost stopped breathing.He caught up with Qu He in a few steps, stretched out his left hand to grab Qu He's shoulder and patted Qu He lightly twice, without asking anything.
Qu He followed Li Xunran's gesture of withdrawing his hand, and smiled again.The smile this time is like a small drop of honey in a large glass of lemonade, which is almost unbelievably sweet, and it disappears in the blink of an eye.
The two walked silently to the exit on the second floor, and were about to go downstairs to the small items area, when Li Xunran suddenly stopped and glanced in the direction of the restaurant.
Qu He said, "Let's go shopping after dinner."
Li Xunran ordered a beef tenderloin rice with pepper, and took a grilled chicken wing, Qu He ordered a medium portion of meatballs, and another order of broccoli.
The advantage of foodies being together is that as long as there is food in front of them, no amount of embarrassment can be resolved.Qu He seemed to be really hungry, impatiently inserted a meatball, chewed it a few times before swallowing it, and hurriedly said to Li Xunran, "Try this meatball, the IKEA brand."
Li Xunran was uncharacteristically, he didn't bury his whole body in the rice bowl to eat bitterly, he was using a fork to pierce the chicken wings, and when one was inserted, he lifted it up and shook it to the plate: "Come on, chicken wings, my favorite." After speaking, he abducted a ball.
Qu He originally thought that Police Officer Li was going to show his professional qualities again, and asked about the crib incident just now, but he didn't expect him to look normal, as if he didn't intend to mention it at all, and unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.It's not that I can't or don't want to say some things, it's just that I'm not ready to cross the one-meter line.
"This hot pepper is not spicy at all!" Li Xunran poked the plate angrily on the opposite side, Qu He raised his head, this time there was no lemon in his smile, it was all honey: "I will take you to eat Zhending chicken another day, they The homemade hot sauce is a must!"
"It's really that delicious?" Li Xunran's eyes lit up obviously.
"I lied to you that I was my brother."
The small items area on the first floor begins with shopping for kitchen supplies.
Li Xunran felt that since he was going to cook with a fire, he had to do things decently. In that kitchen, he used a frying pan to rule the world. That day he even cooked tomato soup in a frying pan. Can this be tolerated?
Qu He attacked him from the side: "You bought these odds and ends and left them to me in the future?" "Give it all to you, don't you musicians pay attention to the quality of life? I don't think you pay much attention to it like I do." .”
Qu He was not annoyed, he just smiled: "Someone always said that I don't have a good taste in clothes, and it all depends on my character."
"I don't think your sheets are very good. I will help you choose two beds later."
"Officer Li turned out to be quite good at dressing."
"I didn't think so at first, but Yaoyao always said that the clothes I chose for myself were not bad."
Qu He's heart skipped a beat: "Yaoyao?"
"Oh, Jian Yao, my childhood sweetheart."
Cui Yao's face flashed across his mind for an instant, Qu He collected himself, and looked at Li Xunran with a smile on his lips: "Girlfriend?"
Li Xunran blushed and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, it's just a good friend relationship."
Qu He continued to laugh and didn't speak any more.Li Xunran quickly turned his head away, picked up a frying pan and looked around.
Good friend, Qu He repeatedly said this word in his heart, he was a little envious of Li Xunran, although he felt that Jian Yao was not as simple as a good friend in Li Xunran's heart, but at least she could chat with Li Xunran people who talk.
Kankan walked around for another hour, and the two of them walked out of the cash register with a large cart of things. They realized when they were about to go home. Now in Shanghai, neither of them has a car.
Qu He's car was given to Cui Yao before leaving Beijing, and Li Xunran only stayed in Shanghai for two years, and it was impossible for him to transport his Audi here from far away, so he chose a place close to the subway.
Some people who are used to cars forget their current situation for a moment, and they are not relentless when buying things, especially Li Xunran's bed table, which is a long wooden board more than one meter long, looks worrying.
"Let IKEA deliver the goods." Qu He said.
"That's the only way." Li Xunran looked at his bed table reluctantly, it seemed that he would not be able to have breakfast on this table tomorrow morning, what a pity it was a good Sunday.
E. This is my cousin
After shopping, empty hands.Li Xunran suggested with a little reluctance: "Since today is a shopping day, let's just buy enough. Don't you say that your dressing taste is not good, let's go shopping, and I will give you two sets of clothes for reference?"
Qu He thought that when he was in Beijing, he was only a university professor, and his income was not very rich, so he prepared a set of performance costumes. Although the orchestra now provides uniform performance costumes, in the future, he will teach students, go to the conservatory of music as a guest professor, and even For various activities such as film and television drama recordings, one should not dress too casually. Moreover, the treatment of the chief is good in the regiment now. It is reasonable to add a few sets of clothes.
After the two discussed it properly, they didn't take the subway home and changed the direction to Xujiahui.
Xujiahui was right next to IKEA, and the two of them strolled along the way, wandering over.At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has brought some hotness from early summer, and the whole body is sweating finely.After Li Xunran came to Shanghai, he hasn’t visited the bustling areas of the city, and Qu He is not much better. His daily life radius is from his home to the orchestra, and the orchestra’s home. The circle is dumbfounded.
Drive the navigation to the crowded intersection, the opposite is Grand Gateway, there is Pacific Department Store here, and the Oriental Commercial Building is on the road next to it.Li Xunran saw that Qu He also looked confused, not sure which one to buy, so he took out his mobile phone and asked Baidu if he was undecided, otherwise Dianping would be fine.
Qu He went over to look at the netizens' comments on the grades of several shopping malls: "Go to Ganghui, it feels like the price we can afford."
On weekends, there are people everywhere in Xujiahui, and there are many people in Grand Gateway Plaza, but there are not many big men shopping together, not to mention that these two people are so eye-catching.
"Teacher Qu!" Li Xunran was pointing to Qu He to look at an iron gray shirt when he heard someone calling him from afar.Looking back, it was Fang Mengqiu, the deputy chief cellist in the regiment.
Fang Mengqiu also had fantasies about being the chief, but after a rehearsal with Qu He, he was convinced. From an ordinary musician to the deputy chief, this result is already good.
The seats of the chief and deputy principals are next to each other during the performance, and they share a music stand, and the deputy chief has to do all the work of turning the scores.As soon as Qu He joined the troupe, he frequently participated in several large-scale performances. He has cooperated many times and is familiar with Fang Mengqiu.
