Good Night, Liang Xiao

After eating the dumplings that day, the dean left the two of them again, took a few group photos with the children in the whole courtyard, and said that they would wash them out and send them to them in the next year.Ye Ji'an didn't refuse, but Liang Xiao saw that what he left was the company's address, even specific to the front desk.The two of them did not participate in the party in the afternoon. Liang Xiao stepped on the accelerator carefully on the empty loop road again, and drove to the nearest Walmart at a low speed.

Ye Ji'an still leaned against the car window as usual, spread his five fingers to feel the warm air from the air conditioner, and looked at Liang Xiao in the rearview mirror with a smile, "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit." Liang Xiao didn't speak harshly this time.

"I see you ate up to five dumplings."

"Three," Liang Xiao reversed the car into the garage, "I'm really not good at celery."

"I know, celery, coriander, freshwater shrimp, and all kinds of mushrooms. You have been reluctant to touch them since you were a child. Hu's mother told me." Ye Ji'an got out of the car and closed the door, looking over the roof. "Do you like it?" She also made a list of dishes and sent them to me."

Liang Xiao pressed the car key, feeling really weird in his heart, which can be summed up as happy embarrassment. "Have you added WeChat?" He asked.

Ye Ji'an approached him with a mysterious face, and they walked slowly into the mall together, "How about the green pepper?"

Liang Xiao put his hand into his pocket, "All kinds of peppers are fine."

Ye Ji'an smiled, "Then wrap it with green pepper and meat stuffing. It sounds like a dark dish, but it's actually very delicious. I used to make it every year in Nanjing."

Liang Xiao nodded, and grabbed Ye Ji'an's hand in his pocket.

The purchasing process is very fast, at least at the beginning. Ye Ji'an has a sharp eye in the fresh food section, and he looks like a master who often squeezes time to buy vegetables. Quickly find what you want to buy, quickly select and weigh the price, squeeze back from the crowd of old men and old ladies, and arrange the things in the shopping cart like a trophy.

Liang Xiao was guarding his small cart, seeing Ye Ji'an going back and forth, not just buying green peppers.He is very particular about buying things, and he doesn’t want ready-made meat fillings. He has to choose fresh meat and ask the stall owner to stir it. He also bought ribs and stick bones, as well as beef brisket and lamb tenderloin, two black pork belly and black pig front tip, Argentine red shrimp and Dalian yellow croaker, and a variety of vegetables are even richer. Liang Xiao, who eats too much Western food, can't name them. It seems that he wants to prepare all the fresh ingredients for the remaining few days of vacation.

"Senior, are you going to cook every day?" Liang Xiao asked.

"Of course, I like to cook. You don't have to wait in line outside for Chinese New Year, and it's healthier than ordering takeaway." Ye Ji'an stopped by a freezer again, pulled Liang Xiao's clothes, and put two boxes of cod and one box of prawns Xiaoshan entered the shopping cart, "The shopping card issued by the company has 5000 yuan, and it has not been used up yet."

"I don't have any. The position is too low." Liang Xiao said aggrievedly, "I only have Starbucks and Xidan Book City cards."

"You don't even need one!" Ye Ji'an smiled and tugged at his pitiful face. After picking through the freezer and fresh vegetables for too long, his hands were cold, so Liang Xiao gently buckled them. On the face, rub the pad of the finger with the skin under the eyelids.

Ye Ji'an blushed, even with the flour that he hadn't wiped off in the morning, the redness was still visible to the naked eye. His facial blood circulation has indeed fluctuated a lot recently.He lightly pressed Liang Xiao's eye sockets, "...is my hand easy to pinch?"

Liang Xiao looked at him intently, "It's very cold."

Ye Ji'an couldn't bear this kind of hot stare, and his eyes fell on his carefully selected lo mei, "I still have to go shopping."

"Well, it's warm now." Liang Xiao patted the back of his hand in satisfaction, and put that right hand on the left side of the cart's armrest, intending to let Ye Ji'an and himself push each other, but it took only a few steps Ye Ji'an pushed the bag with his left hand, and moved his right hand to the back of Liang Xiao's hand, covering it firmly.

He still lowered his head, "It needs to be warmed up for a while."

Liang Xiao couldn't see his expression when he said this, but could only see the corners of his mouth curled up and his eyelashes drooping. God knows how much he wanted to kiss him immediately.

To Liang Xiao's surprise, Ye Ji'an took noodles instead of dumpling wrappers when he passed by the noodle area, "I'll cook you a bowl of rice pads first when I go back home. I'll make at least six dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, and it won't be until seven or eight o'clock at the earliest." Eat it." He said.

Liang Xiao said that he wanted to eat two bowls first, and then he picked up a bag of dumpling skins and put them in the car. He thought Ye Ji'an had forgotten, but saw Ye Ji'an put the bag back again, "It's delicious to roll the skins by yourself and the noodles."

"It's all the same."

"Hey, Young Master Liang, you usually look like a glutton, how can you do it now? It won't take long to roll the skin." Ye Ji'an looked at him with a frown, paused for two seconds, touched the corner of his mouth and lowered his head , "You can't be treated worse than other children."

Liang Xiao was stunned.

"Senior, is there anything else you want to buy?" He asked.

"It's gone. There are still plenty of disinfectant and shampoo, as well as body wash and laundry detergent. I stocked up a lot of paper on Double Eleven. Just take it from my house." Ye Ji'an counted seriously.

Liang Xiao led him directly to the sex toys area, walking quickly, with a kind of recklessness that is rarely seen in him.This place is close to the cash register, the two of them are facing the shelves, and there are many people walking up and down behind them. Liang Xiao quietly watched Ye Ji'an's reaction while scanning the two rows of lubricating fluid.

There are not many brands, and indeed there is no one he likes to use.Between water-based and silicon-based, Liang Xiao chose the colorless and odorless one in the former. After careful inspection, this product does not contain the antiseptic and disinfectant ingredient N-9 that destroys the intestinal flora, so he put it into the basket.Although it is easy to volatilize during the process, and it is troublesome to add it frequently to avoid drying out, but the water-based lubricating fluid is the least irritating and the easiest to clean among similar items, so Liang Xiao is willing to use it on Ye Ji'an's body.

As for the condom, Liang Xiao is more casual, he just cares about the size, and when he sees it, throw it in the shopping cart, and then he has to queue up to check out.

But Ye Ji'an pulled him back, and woke up from the pinch that he couldn't move. His face was already redder than before, and even his lips were also rosy. "You only buy one box."

Liang Xiao smiled and said, "This box has ten pieces."

Ye Ji'an glared at him, and suddenly picked up five boxes of Okamoto 001, the kind in red packaging, and six boxes of 003 platinum, and threw them in together. One by one, they all lay obediently on the lamb chops and large On rainbow trout.This adds up to 68 pieces, and counting the box just now, the total is 78. Liang Xiao was dumbfounded.

He himself didn't think there was any problem, but after buying so much, he had doubts, did Ye Ji'an plan to go back to work in five days?

"The money in the card can't be spent, and it will be invalid in the spring."

Ye Ji'an said in a muffled voice, turned his back and pushed the cart to line up.

Liang Xiao regained consciousness a little bit, Ye Ji'an is someone who knows how to stock up on toilet paper, and it's normal to stock up on insurance and condoms.How long will it take to run out?Use in spring, or summer?They will always be together.This is simply imaginative, following Ye Ji'an with his pockets in his pocket, Liang Xiao looked at the black hair on the back of his head without blinking.The skin at the back of the neck is blocked by the high collar, what will it look like inside the wool?Is it flushed and covered with a thin layer of sweat?

Although the noise of the crowd and Andy Lau's Gong Xi Fa Cai are in his ears, Liang Xiao can still recall the delicate touch of that piece of skin and the feeling of biting it.

It has to be said that Ye Ji'an's sense of numbers is indeed very sensitive. There are more than 600 yuan left in the card, and the final bill is just over [-] yuan.It took a little effort to transport the contents of the car into the trunk, and when they returned to the traffic light outside the community, it was almost four o'clock.There was a stall selling fireworks and firecrackers outside the gate, Liang Xiao stopped aside, "What would you like to display, senior?"

"Don't let it go," Ye Ji'an thought for a while, and said, "I don't have time, I have to go back and cook quickly."

What he said was really fast. Before 04:30, a pot of hot seafood noodles was cooked. The soup was thick and thick. In addition to half a lobster and squid tentacle, there was also sautéed minced garlic He took out two bowls of hot baby choy sum, sat at the dining table and watched Liang Xiao eat for a while, and then went back to the kitchen by himself to work.When Liang Xiao came to the kitchen with an empty bowl, the white flour had already been cut, and the job of rolling the skin was left to him, while Ye Ji'an was rubbing the marinade on a pink and white pork knuckle, "Try it tonight." Roast pork knuckle with crispy German skin, with roasted broccoli and kale on the bottom," he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, "and drink it with some beer."

Liang Xiao helped him fasten the belt of the apron hanging behind him, "I'll take a photo and post it on Moments."

Ye Ji'an turned his face and laughed at him, "There is nothing in your circle of friends."

Liang Xiao hugged that waist and hugged it hard, "I will have it in the future."

Ye Ji'an kissed him generously and said, "Hurry up and roll out the dumpling wrappers."

After a whole morning of experience, Liang Xiao's skin-rolling skills are not good, but they are advancing by leaps and bounds. After he rolled out more than 50 sheets of dough, put them in flour and put them away, Ye Ji'an just cut up all kinds of vegetables and meat. The oven is preheated, but the pork knuckle has not been put in yet.Liang Xiao stayed in the kitchen to help for a while, but all he could do was stir the eggs and peel the garlic, and Ye Ji'an sent him out to rest after a while.

After returning all the purchased items such as condoms, and making a few phone calls, Liang Xiao used the tweezers to feed Marx a meal, absent-mindedly pondering the scene in the kitchen, and he had a premonition that the pig Elbow is definitely not the protagonist tonight.

Sure enough, at [-]:[-] that night, there was still a while before the Spring Festival Gala, Ye Ji'an put together a table of six dishes and one soup, black pepper glaze sauce with roasted pork knuckle, boiled prawns, crispy egg rolls, fried cod with lemon , Garlic Snow Peas, Stir-fried Tower Vegetables, a pot of stewed lotus root, and two plates of unbreakable dumplings.

"You don't need to finish eating, don't hold on." He bit off the beer cap and poured it for himself and Liang Xiao, "Just to celebrate."

Liang Xiao put down the mobile phone that was taking pictures, and raised his hand to clink glasses with him, "If you can eat it, you can eat it, because it's too fragrant."

Ye Ji'an was used to his sweet mouth, he raised his chin and blinked his eyes, "Then which one are you going to try first?"

Liang Xiao dropped his chopsticks on the roasted pork knuckle that Ye Ji'an worried about the most, and there was a crisp sound when he bit into his mouth. He looked at him, "It's better than what I ate in the restaurant."

Ye Ji'an took another sip of his wine, "Just fool me."

Liang Xiao looked innocent, "Which dish do you want to try first, senior?"

"Let me see if the dumplings are salty," Ye Ji'an picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth without dipping it in vinegar. "It's okay, better than I thought."

But his brows were frowned again, "The seasoning is still a bit heavy, and it's been a long time since I wrapped it. I used to cook some quick-frozen ones alone."

The TV a few meters away suddenly started to make noise. It was the jubilant opening music of the Spring Festival Gala. Liang Xiao also went to taste the dumplings, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation in his heart. Erase all shadows again.

"Senior, when you were in Nanjing, were you also responsible for making dumplings?" He asked softly.

"Almost, my mother adjusts the stuffing, I rolled the skin and wrapped it with her," Ye Ji'an began to peel the shrimp, quickly and neatly, and put it in Liang Xiao's bowl, he laughed, "My father and my younger brother... … are not the kind of people who can go into the kitchen.”

"Then are they still celebrating the New Year together now?" Liang Xiao still looked at him intently, that kind of gaze, showing concern without any shyness, even though the question was about other people's affairs, it still made people feel that the temperature was too high.

So Ye Ji'an lowered his head, "It should be. My younger brother works in Shanghai, and he will take his wife and children back to see his parents during the Chinese New Year. It will only take a while to take the high-speed train. Now that we have eaten out for the New Year's Eve dinner, he will give me a call. "

The fourth shrimp fell into the bowl, and Liang Xiao held the hand that had stopped on the edge of the bowl and hadn't had time to retract, "If talking about them makes senior feel unhappy, we won't talk about it in the future."

Ye Ji'an's wrist visibly stiffened, and his eyes were still avoiding, "No. Why are you unhappy?"

"Yeah." Liang Xiao didn't answer, just nodded and let go of that hand. He also started peeling the shrimp and put it in Ye Ji'an's bowl.

Ye Ji'an seemed a little helpless, took out a tissue and wiped his hands, he picked up the knife and fork to eat the cod while it was hot, when the phone rang again, and put it on the table, the name on the screen was eye-catching: Ye Zhihong.

Really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

"Sorry," Ye Ji'an subconsciously said, "It's my brother."

Liang Xiao didn't understand why he was sorry, so he put down his chopsticks, "Do you want me to avoid it?"

"No, don't." Unexpectedly, Ye Ji'an panicked. He stood up, grabbed his phone and nailed it to the table, looked at Liang Xiao, the light inside was flickering, "...Can I sit next to you? I just want to rely on you."
