Shen Tan didn't pay much attention when placing the order, but he was too hungry and hadn't eaten takeaway food for too long, so he ordered a lot in a daze, and when he got it in his hand, he realized that he couldn't finish it.

He opened the packing box and faced the still steaming takeaway, he suddenly lost his appetite. After a casual taste or two, he always felt that the taste was not right.

The steamed rice was not soft enough, the vegetables were too salty, the soup was too fishy, ​​and even the most common stir-fried vegetables, he could pick out the earthy smell.

Shen Tan glanced at Shaun next to him, he was not used to the taste of takeaway, and he was too lazy to teach Shaun not to eat dog food.

Warm-toned lights are reflected on the glass windows, without the poor tungsten lamps, the city is cold, but the temperature is not enough for snow, Shen Tan feels bored, Shaun is used to the indulgence of the mountains and plains, suddenly locked in the room, everything They all looked so restrained and sickly.

Shen Tan got up to brush his teeth, closed the curtains casually, left a bedside lamp on, and then lay down on the bed.

The mattresses in the hotel are very soft, and when you lie on them, your whole body sinks in, unlike the bed in He Jisheng's house, which is an old-fashioned wooden bed that can also be hung with mosquito nets, and the hard bed is directly covered with cotton wool.

Later, it was Shen Tan who was squeamish and hated this and that, so He Jisheng "spended huge sums of money" to buy a mattress in the town. He said that the mattress was only two fingers wide, which was better than nothing for Young Master Shen. It's a little bit better than the bed board.

In that crappy place, even the bed had to be adapted by itself.

Shen Tan turned over to prevent himself from thinking wildly, just in time to see Shaun lying at the end of the bed with his face facing the curtains, unable to see his expression clearly, he patted the edge of the bed, Shaun turned his head when he heard the sound, eyes like paint spots, in the darkness glowing.

Shaun is usually not allowed to go to bed, and Shaun still has to squeeze up, but now he is hinted at, and he is still unhappy.

Shen Tan lifted the quilt, "Come up?"

In the darkness, Shaun's clear sigh could be heard, and then the "big lump" stood up, and climbed onto the bed a little tiredly.

The heating was turned on in the room, Shaun leaned on Shen Tan's arm like a stove, Shen Tan stroked its head, "You've been listless since you came back."

Shaun gave an "um", his eyes blinked, as if he was extremely sleepy.

"You have to come back sooner or later. Don't you still want to be the king of the mountain and stay in the mountain for the rest of your life?" Shen Tan educated it in a low voice, "It's a matter of habit. Do you still miss the mountain when you play with the dog?"

Is this for Shaun, or for Shen Tan himself.

Early the next morning, Shen Tan took Shaun to the pet shop to take a bath. After the bath and trimming, the noble temperament of the breed dog returned, and the fur was shiny white, but Shaun pursed his dog's mouth and looked sad.

The housekeeper who just made an appointment also arrived, Shen Tan pinched Shaun's cheek, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, give me some celebration."

The housekeeping aunt is in her forties and fifties, the age of a mother, and her son is about the same age as Shen Tan, so she naturally talked more, chatting with Shen Tan while working.

From Shen Tan's age to work, and then all the way to whether he is single or not.

Shen Tan's parents are divorced, and he doesn't have a good relationship with his family members. Especially after he became an adult, he seldom goes out with his relatives during the holidays.

In order not to disturb his aunt's work, he and Shaun curled up on the sofa, trying not to move around and make trouble.

"My son is like you. He is 26 and seven years old and still refuses to get married. As parents, we are also worried about him."

Shen Tan leaned on Shaun and thought, maybe it's different, because he has a sexual orientation and can't get married.

"When will you go home for the New Year? I think you live alone. It's time to go home at the end of the year."

The aunt just asked casually, but Shen Tan didn't know how to answer. He couldn't go back to his father's house, and there was no one else around. Those friends had to stay with their families during the Chinese New Year. He could only treat Shaun as usual. together.

Before Shen Tan could speak, the mobile phone in his pocket rang first, and the aunt went into the kitchen to do some work, Shen Tan glanced at the caller ID, it was his father.

"Hey?"

Shen Tan sometimes felt that he and his father and son had a weak relationship and a shallow relationship. His father had a happy family, and too frequent contact was also a disadvantage for each other.

"Shen Tan, are you back? Why don't you call home?"

Shen Tan remembered that his circle of friends seemed to be blocked by no one, so he could only bite the bullet and let out a "huh".

"Let's go home for a meal on New Year's Day. It's been a long time since I saw you. Your aunt always mentions you."

Three points of father's words were true and seven points of falsehood. Shen Tan shook his head, realizing that his father couldn't see it, and said, "I still have something to do on New Year's Day."

"Dinner, can't you just have dinner? What can be busy until night?"

It's true that the manga show won't last until night, and Shaun who happened to be next to him cupped Shen Tan's hand with his mouth, and Shen Tan said again: "Forget it, it's inconvenient for me to bring a dog."

"Isn't it okay to leave it at home? It won't delay anything in one night."

Shen Tan opened his mouth, and just about to refuse, his father rushed in front of him and said, "Your brother's grandparents are coming, don't make it difficult for your aunt, don't be so ignorant, on New Year's Eve, if you have anything to do, take care of it early .”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Tan pinched Shaun's mouth, "You stayed at home by yourself, so you asked someone to do the cleaning, you are not allowed to demolish the house, did you hear that?"

Judging from Shaun's current mental state, it is estimated that he has no interest in tearing down the house.

There have been a lot of socializing these few days, and Shen Tan didn't know if he was infected by Shaun, and he couldn't get up to do anything, and he refused even the 0 that came to his door.

On New Year's Day, Shen Tan cut his hair short in advance, put on a hat and mask before going out, and checked Weibo while in the car. The enthusiasm of the readers made him inexplicably nervous.

This is the first time he has come to the comic exhibition. Looking around, the vast area is full of people, and it makes people feel confused.

The process of signing the autograph was smooth, and no photos were allowed. At first, Shen Tan was quite worried that someone would gossip about his emotional life. The first reaction of most readers when they saw him was "My wife is really a man", and a few readers would Ask when the second comic will open.

Shen Tan was stunned for a moment, the original plan was after the new year, but this story is already over for him, and it is unlikely to pick up the pen to draw the people in the story again.

After the exhibition ended, Shen Tan had to go home for dinner, so he didn't go to the painter's dinner party.

It was already dark before I arrived at Dad’s house. Shen Tan had been out all day and didn’t know how Shaun was at home. He turned on the camera to check the situation, but the house was also pitch black. Shaun kept lying at the door and never moved. nest.

Shen Tan wanted to call it out, but held back. He didn't go home, because he gave it hope and disappointed him.

As soon as he entered the house, all relatives and friends were present, Qi Qi cast his eyes on Shen Tan, the moment he was stared at, Shen Tan just wanted to turn around and leave.

His father stepped forward and put his arms around his shoulders, with a look of deep affection between father and son, "Everyone is waiting for you to have dinner, why did you arrive so late."

The weight on his shoulders made Shen Tan very uncomfortable, and he called "Dad" without explaining more.

As soon as he took off his hat, his father was very relieved, "I cut my hair, cut it well, why do big men have long hair, and watch the girls chirp."

Next, it was like going through the motions, greeting relatives, the aunt was very concerned about face, and would pull her son to take the initiative to get close to Shen Tan.

In their Shen family, juniors who are not yet married can get red envelopes, and Shen Tan is no exception.

At the dinner table, his father said that he bought a house for each of the two brothers, and that the youngest son was going to study abroad, parents were worried that the center of his future life and work would have to be abroad, Shen Tan was stunned for a moment, his brother He was still in school, and his father couldn't wait to help his youngest son arrange his future affairs.

It was mainly arranged for the youngest son, as for Shen Tan, it was just a foil, to take care of the younger one, and he couldn't forget about the older one, so he deliberately chose a place where relatives and friends were present, not because he was afraid that people would gossip about him.

After eating, Shen Tan found a corner to sit down, looking at the excitement and joy that did not belong to him, he really wanted to find an excuse to slip away.

Thinking of Shaun staying at home alone for the holidays, Shen Tan felt uncomfortable. Just as he was about to take out his phone, his father sat next to him.

"Shen Tan, you didn't like to chat with your family since you were a child, why are you staying alone again?"

Shen Tan was a little surprised, his father could still notice that he didn't like to chat with his family, he knew there was something in his father's words, this was just a prelude.

Immediately afterwards, his father took out a car key and put it in his palm, "I said I would buy you a car, but you always stayed at home and said you didn't need it. You are already 26 and seven, so you should need it." gone."

Shen Tan weighed the weight of the key, but didn't say no as usual, he was thinking, his father must want to compensate him all at once before going abroad.

"You're so old, dad can feel a little more at ease when he goes abroad." Shen Tan didn't respond, his dad had a hard time finding topics, "How is your painting job?"

"good."

Dad was a little upset, "Look at you, talk to you, you're always 'um', 'okay', 'okay'."

Otherwise, how can I tell my father, tell him that painting by myself can support me, I can’t die, and I don’t need to give him the money, but my younger brother also has it, and these are what he deserves, and he has to put what he deserves in his pocket, no matter who he is Want it or not.

The two father and son really had nothing to say, and the father took out another card from his pocket, "This is the New Year's money that Dad gave you in advance."

The family is crowding out Shen Tan, but Shen Tan's father is trying to let money close the gap between him and his son.

Looking at the brightly lit air conditioner, Shen Tan had the illusion that he didn't go home for dinner, but came to receive the award.

Soon his father was called over by his aunt, and Shen Tan was so empty in his heart that he unconsciously took out his phone when a WeChat message popped up, and He Jisheng's name stunned him for a second.
