"Brother, are you done with the matter?" Yan Xu on the other end of the phone said with a smile, while Yan Xiaonian next to him was yelling, "Uncle, Uncle, I want to eat that!" Yan Jing couldn't help but listen to his son's noise on the other end of the phone Zhu smiled slightly and said, "Is it convenient for me to come pick up Xiaonian now?"

"Well, I'll text you the address."

Yan Jing came out of the hospital and went to the cake shop opposite to get the birthday cake and candles that he had made this morning. By the way, he bought groceries in the supermarket next door. He planned to pick up Yan Xiaonian and go home to cook, so that he could have a good birthday with his child.

Hired a taxi at the intersection, and finally arrived at Haiwan District at six o'clock, Yan Jing took the elevator up to the sixth floor according to the address Yan Xu gave and rang the doorbell, and sure enough Yan Xu came to open the door, smiling and said: "Brother, come in quickly. "

Yan Jing said: "Don't disturb me, I'll take Xiao Nian back, the driver is still waiting downstairs."

Xiao Nian shouted from the room: "Dad, come in, come and see the gift that uncle gave me, hurry up."

Yan Jing had no choice but to walk into the room, but froze instantly when he met someone's gaze.

Rong Zi was sitting on the sofa and watching TV leisurely. Yan Xiaonian lay next to him and was having a great time playing with the robot, while saying, "Dad, Uncle Rong gave me a robot, it's really fun."

——Why did the uncle he mentioned be Uncle Rong?

Yan Jing looked at Rong Zi, suppressed the fluctuation in his heart, smiled and said, "Thank you." He walked over and picked up Yan Xiaonian's collar, "Let's go home with Dad."

Yan Xiaonian refused: "But I haven't eaten the fruit Uncle Rong bought for me yet."

——Why did Uncle Rong buy you fruit?

Yan Jingzheng was full of doubts, so he heard Yan Xu say from behind: "Brother, this is the first time you come to my place, why are you in a hurry to go back. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Rong Zi hasn't eaten either, so you can eat together here."

Yan Jing smiled and said, "No, the driver is still waiting downstairs. I put all the things I bought in the car..."

"I'll get it." Yan Xu interrupted him, then turned around and went out quickly, closing the door behind him.

Rong Zi could not hold her breath, and watched TV calmly from beginning to end, without saying a word.

Yan Jing had no choice but to walk over, sat down on the sofa farthest from him, and beckoned to Xiaonian, "Come here."

Yan Xiaonian walked over obediently, holding the robot in his hand, "Father, this robot that Uncle Rong gave me, you see, it can be folded up, and it can do a lot of movements like this."

Yan Jing patted his head, "Well, go thank Uncle Rong."

Yan Xiaonian said, "Uncle Rong said it, you're welcome."

"..." Yan Jing raised his head and glanced at Rong Zi, who just happened to look over, and their eyes met. Both of them trembled in their hearts, but they looked away calmly.

Yan Jing asked, "Why do you..."

Rong Zi also said, "Your hospital..."

The two opened their mouths at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding, and shut their mouths at the same time. Looking at each other's eyes, their heartbeats suddenly stalled, and they couldn't help but bow their heads and fell silent.

After a while, Yan Jing smiled slightly and said, "What did you want to ask?"

Rong Zi whispered: "Did something happen in your hospital? I heard from Yan Xu that both you and Shaobo were called back?"

Yan Jingdao: "Well, a schizophrenic patient in our department wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building, and the police were dispatched, so Shaobo and I went back. It's all right now, and the patient has also been given a tranquilizer."

Rong Zi nodded, "It's fine."

Yan Jing was silent for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you here with Yan Xu?"

"Oh, Yan Xu and I work not far away. Before I bought a house locally, I borrowed his guest room and paid him some rent every month."

Yan Jing didn't expect that he and Yan Xu were so familiar and lived together as roommates.

In fact, if he has no place to live, there is a free room for him, and he doesn't have to pay rent... Yan Jing resisted the idea of ​​inviting him to live with him, turned his eyes and lowered his head to play with Yan Xiaonian's robot, lest he be temporarily Impulse to say things that should not be said.

While the two were silent, Yan Xu suddenly opened the door and came back, holding a cake and a lot of vegetables in his hand, "Brother, you bought so many things, I can hardly carry them, so many vegetables."

Yan Jing looked up and smiled: "Well, I was planning to go home and cook, so I bought a lot of vegetables."

"Why don't you do it here. I just said I'm going downstairs to buy vegetables, but there's no food in the refrigerator." Yan Xu said and looked at Rong Zi again, "Xiao Zi, do you do it? Or...brother, you come here." Do? I can't cook."

Yan Jing looked up at Rong Zi, Rong Zi stood up, took the vegetables from Yan Xu's hand, "I'll do it." Then he turned and went into the kitchen, ignoring Yan Jing's eyes behind him.

Yan Xu carried the cake and put it on the table, walked to the sofa and sat down, glanced at Rong Zi in the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zi is usually too lazy to cook, he eats boxed lunches at the company all day, I still eat I've never eaten his dishes."

"Oh." Yan Jingjing nodded, remembering the scene when Rong Zi learned cooking for himself, his heart warmed up, looking at the busy man in the kitchen, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, fearing that Yan Xu would notice it, he hurriedly turned his head away. Eyes moved to the TV.

The evening news from the Economic Channel was on the TV.

"Rongxin Group's autumn clothing conference this year will be held in Xinghai Clothing City on the first of next month. It is understood that in this clothing conference, Rongxin Group will continue to launch the flower language series in addition to the latest clothing. autumn clothes. Our reporter specially interviewed Rongxin Group's..."

On the TV, Rong Yuming was talking with a microphone, and a man he hadn't seen for a long time was smiling at the camera with a magnified face.I once loved and hated, but now I look like a stranger.Yan Jing's mood was a bit complicated, and he turned around and asked Yan Xu, "How are you going to deal with him?"

Yan Xu froze for a moment, "You know?"

Yan nodded.

Yan Xu was silent for a while, and said: "If you are interested, go to their fashion show on September [-]st."

Yan Jing didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Remember to leave yourself a way out."

Yan Xu said, "That's natural."

The two watched TV silently for a while, Yan Jing felt that he and this cousin really had no common language, and he was thinking that Rong Zi would be too busy in the kitchen alone, so he stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see. "

In the kitchen, Rong Zi was busy chopping vegetables, Yan Jing walked to his side and said, "You can't do it alone, I'll help you."

Rong Zi didn't turn her head back, and said lightly, "No need."

Yan Jing had no choice but to stand there and watch him cook with a blank face. Rong Zi didn't mind him standing by the side as a flagpole. He lowered his head and washed and chopped vegetables. He quickly prepared a few dishes for serving. next to.

Picking up the last plastic bag and seeing a huge fish inside, Rong Zi was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know how to make this fish, so you should come."

Yan Jing hummed, and stretched out his hand to pick up the bag. Rong Zi just turned around, but Yan Jing was standing beside him.

"Well……"

The moment their lips touched, both of them opened their eyes wide in shock. The familiar feeling and taste as in memory made people stop breathing. After three seconds of silence, they quickly separated like an electric shock.

Yan Jing pretended to be nonchalant, never mentioned the accident just now, looked away, and lowered his head to cook the steamed fish.Rong Zi also pretended to be okay, turned around silently, and brought the dishes on the table to the living room one by one.Both of them were pretending to be calm, but their stalled heartbeat couldn't be easily controlled.

Looking at his slightly stiff back, Yan Jing couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his lips, his familiar breath and temperature remained on his lips, and the bottom of his heart became soft like a feather brushing gently.

As expected, I still have no resistance to him, but it seems that it is not as easy as I imagined to recover the little lion that I have hurt.Especially the little lion has grown up now and has a mouthful of sharp teeth. If he can't chase it back, he might bite him to death.

Yan Jing sighed lightly, bowed his head and cooked a piece of steamed fish that Rong Zi loved most, and specially added his favorite shredded green onion.When he went out with the fish, Rong Zi had already set up dinner in the dining room, opened the cake Yan Jing brought, lit a circle of candles, and the candlelight illuminated several red jelly words "Happy Birthday Yan Xiaonian". It looks very warm.

Yan Jing called Yan Xiaonian over, the four of them sat around the table, Yan Xu turned off the lights, and they sang birthday songs together.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

It was the first time since childhood that so many people accompanied her on her birthday, Yan Xiaonian was very excited, she clapped her hands and was about to blow out the candles.Yan Jing hurriedly stopped him, "Xiao Nian, you forgot to make a wish. Come on, close your eyes, put your hands together, and make a wish."

Yan Xiaonian looked up suspiciously, "Father, what wish should I make?"

Yan Jing patted his head and said, "Whatever you want, you can promise whatever you want."

Yan Xiaonian nodded, "Okay, Dad said he would find a stepdad for me, and I hope to find a stepdad this year."

Yan Xu froze for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Jing.Rong Zi was also taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Jing.Under the illumination of the candlelight, Yan Jing's face was slightly red because of embarrassment, and he wished he could slap that brat Yan Xiaonian into the cake.I asked you to make a wish, but I didn't ask you to say it!

The candle was blown by Yan Xiaonian, and the room was completely dark. After a strange silence lasted for a few seconds, Yan Jing stood up calmly to turn on the light.

Yan Xu, who was sitting across from him, seemed to be holding back a smile, lowered his head and coughed a few times; Yan Xiaonian didn't know what was wrong with him, and happily wanted to cut the cake; Rong Zi's expression was very calm, and he took the knife from Xiaonian's hand, Stand up and divide the cake into four.

The meal ended in a strange atmosphere, Yan Xu was busy packing up the dishes, Yan Jing got up and said: "It's getting late, I should go back." Then he took Xiao Nian's hand, "Leave Xiao Nian .”

Yan Xu hurriedly said: "Brother, let Rong Zi take you off later, it's not convenient to take a taxi here."

"No, there's a subway station in front of you." Before Rong Zi went to the bathroom and hadn't come back, Yan Jing hurriedly dragged Yan Xiaonian away.

The father and son were walking hand in hand on the street in the middle of the night. Seeing that Yan Jing had been silent, Yan Xiaonian asked worriedly, "Dad, are you unhappy?"

Yan Jing said, "No, Dad is thinking about something."

Yan Xiaonian asked, "What is Dad thinking about?"

Yan Jing was silent for a moment, stopped, knelt down and pinched Yan Xiaonian's face, "Xiaonian, do you like Uncle Rong?"

Yan Xiaonian said, "Does Dad like it?"

Yan Jing smiled, "Of course Dad likes it."

Yan Xiaonian said, "Dad likes it, so I like it."

Yan Jing's heart warmed up, and he gently reached out to touch Xiao Nian's head.This child has always been so caring. Every time I was busy with work, I sent him to my aunt's house. He never said a word of displeasure, and always said: It's okay, dad can go get busy.Sometimes when he was left alone at home, he would obediently sit on the bed and pile up blocks.

I don't know if Rong Zi can accept a child who is completely unfamiliar to him.Also, he had hurt himself.

Yan Jing smiled and said softly, "Xiao Nian, Dad will work hard for the wish you made."

Yan Jing took the child's hand and walked slowly towards the subway station, but he didn't know that there was a person standing behind them all the time, watching the two of them, one big and one small, disappearing at the end of the street with complicated eyes.
