omnipotent office

Xu Chen rushed out with his slippers on, suppressing his excitement and joy, with an elated look on his face: "Brother, you are home. If you don't come back again, I will eat up your favorite hairy crabs by myself! "

"Hairy crabs? Where did you get the money to buy them?"

Duan Huichuan was still wondering, Xu Chen had already taken his birthday present first, unpacked it in twos and twos, and exclaimed in disbelief: "This year's new game console! Is it a limited edition?! This... a It’s going to be close to [-] yuan? Is it too expensive?”

"It's Xiaochen's birthday. It's okay to make an exception once in a while."

Xu Chen rushed forward with a bear hug: "Brother, I love you to death!"

Surprise and excitement dyed Xu Chen's little face a rouge color, Duan Huichuan couldn't help but soften his eyes, smiled and rubbed his brother's head.

Every time he went out to the street, this silly boy's eyes always wandered to the game console store, he couldn't move his feet, and he tried his best to look disinterested.

Xu Chen followed him since he was a child, and suffered a lot. When other children were still playing carefree in their happy childhood, Xu Chen learned to be sensible early on, and took care of cooking and housework, even if he wanted something in his heart. , and never mentioned it, except for the occasional envious eyes, never begging myself to buy him any extra toys, for fear of burdening him.

Painfully precocious.

"Oh, by the way, the new neighbor next door came to visit. He heard that it was my birthday, and he specially sent hairy crabs here. He is really a good person." Xu Chen couldn't wait to hold his brother's hand and lead him to the restaurant. Inside, come and say hello."

"Neighbor?" Duan Huichuan was at a loss, and before he had time to think about whether to educate this idiot who casually let strangers in, a familiar figure came into view.

The restaurant turned off the lights, and the candlelight on the cake shone warmly in the room.

Yan Yijun was originally sitting at the dining table, but when he saw him coming, he stood up slowly. The dark blue striped shirt and straight trouser legs made him look even more tall and handsome.

The clear moonlight outside the window permeated through the glass and fell on him softly, while his gaze was fixed on him warmly, brighter and brighter than the moonlight, so that for a moment, Duan Huichuan couldn't tell the difference between the two. Was it the warm yellow candlelight that illuminated the man's face, or was it the too touching eyes that illuminated his sight.

This reminded him involuntarily of that kiss that could be called an accident.

They have known each other for only a few days, Duan Huichuan has already had a clear impression after a few days, as if Yan Yijun is so gentle, calm and calm when facing everyone and everything, but he sees himself His eyes always seem to be different from those of others, this feeling seems familiar, very familiar, as if they have known each other for a long, long time.

Before Duan Huichuan was willing to look away, Yan Yijun smiled lightly and took the lead to break the short silence: "When I first saw Brother Bai, I was still wondering, but I didn't expect that this is Mr. Duan office."

"I never thought that Dr. Yan would become my neighbor." Duan Huichuan smiled brightly, and beckoned them to sit down.It's not that I don't wonder if this is too much of a coincidence, but at the moment, surprise and joy prevail—it feels good to be a neighbor with Yan Yijun?

At least there are hairy crabs to eat.

Like every birthday celebration, Xu Chen piously made a wish and blew out the candles, and the room fell into a brief darkness. Taking advantage of the black lights at this moment, Duan Huichuan couldn't help but quietly looked in Yan Yijun's direction , I want to see if those eyes are as bright as before.

When the field of vision was filled with light again, the gazes of the two people collided unexpectedly. The distance between them was too close, so close that it seemed that they could reach each other's shoulders with their arms, and they were too close to hide the gap in each other's eyes. The little secrets that were secretly exposed were exposed in broad daylight.

At the same time when their eyes met, the two of them were taken aback for a moment, and then staggered their eyes in a very tacit understanding, exchanging greetings like ordinary friends next door.

Bai Jian and Xu Chen held a crab claw in each hand, biting into their mouths with a crunching sound, chatting about tonight's TV show, Ah Zhen fell in love with Ah Qiang again.Duan Huichuan acts casually and uninhibitedly on weekdays, but he is very gentle at the dinner table, as if it is an inertia formed by long-term habits.

The crabs just out of the pot are extremely fat, and the snow-white and crystal-clear crab meat exudes heat and fragrance. Duan Huichuan uses chopsticks to pick out the tender crab roe and crab meat little by little, and dips them in the dipping saucer. , he caught a glimpse of Yan Yijun's style of eating crabs, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The difference between people can be clearly seen at the dining table.

Yan Yijun had several pieces of exquisite crab-removing tools in his hand, including pincers and scissors. The parts he held were all cut from black and shiny black jade. He held them in his hands, making his slender fingers even more white moving.

He focused on peeling the crabs without any haste or slowness, and the flowing water flowed without stagnation, as if what he was facing was not a big meal, but some kind of handicraft that needed to be carefully modified.

Perhaps for some people, elegance and calmness are born in the bones, and it is natural without deliberate carving.

Duan Huichuan watched the pleasing moment, until a fat crab was cut into eight pieces and placed neatly on a white porcelain dinner plate, which was completely symmetrical, with nothing more and nothing less.

Yan Yijun held the crab clamp, and put a piece of shelled claw meat into the porcelain bowl in front of Duan Huichuan, with a faint smile on his raised eyes: "Isn't it delicious?"

Duan Huichuan put away his caught eyes as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help but said, "Are all of you doctors like this? Peeling a crab is like being on the operating table."

Yan Yijun couldn't laugh for a while, but still focused on the work in hand, he said with a smile: "Of course not, but I'm used to it, and Mr. Duan laughed."

"You also like hairy crabs?" Duan Huichuan asked casually, stirring the shredded ginger and minced garlic in the vinegar.

Yan Yijun smiled deeply: "Not really, but someone in the family likes to eat, so I learned to cook."

Duan Huichuan nodded clearly: "Did your parents also settle here?"

"No, they..." Yan Yijun paused and said vaguely, "They are all abroad, and I live alone. But Mr. Duan has been living with your brother all the time. Are your parents also out of town?"

Duan Huichuan didn't answer the question about his parents, but his teeth were sore for a while, and he looked at him helplessly: "We have already lived together, and the days will be long in the future. You still treat Mr. Duan long and Mr. Duan short, so polite, I'm exhausted for you."

The movements in Yan Yijun's hands paused for a moment, but he didn't try to correct the ambiguity of the words "living together", nor did he think about the secret joy brought by "the days are still long". After thinking about it, he tried to change it. Title: "Then...Brother Duan?"

"Pfft——" Duan Huichuan almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He was so amused by the other party's name that he couldn't help but laugh so hard that he couldn't hold his meat with his chopsticks. "Doctor Yan, Mr. Yan, which dynasty do you live in?" What? Don't be so particular, just call me by my name."

"...Okay." Yan Yijun's eyebrows softened in the steaming white mist, without the slightest embarrassment of being teased, his long and curled eyelashes fluttered like a small fan, he pursed his lips and smiled, doing good deeds, "Duan...return to Sichuan."

This name seemed to come up from the heart, rolled around in the throat, and finally appealed to the mouth, gentle and solemn, like a distant call, a spell of blessing.

Duan Huichuan was really unable to complain about his names and surnames, so he immersed himself in dealing with the hairy crabs. Unexpectedly, in just a few words of conversation, the small plate in front of him was already full of shelled crab meat, and then a A jade-like hand reached out, and added half a spoonful of minced ginger and chopped green onion to it.

Duan Huichuan: "..."

Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, Yan Yijun thought that he didn't like the smell of ginger, so he reminded him kindly: "Crabs are cold in nature, ginger removes the fishy smell to relieve the cold."

Duan Huichuan Wu had to think of holding an umbrella in the rain that day, this rain-moistening and meticulous ironing post, came quietly, compared with others, it seemed that there was more hidden concern, but if you study it carefully, but you can't tell. I feel that Yan Yijun is such a considerate person. Everything he says and does is generous and natural, as if only he has too much heart.

Duan Huichuan coughed lightly to cover up his momentary doubt and relief.

Brother: Do you think you can buy me off with food?
