side edge

Yan Cun raised his eyes and looked at the other party. He was stunned for a few seconds, and he quickly realized it.

He raised his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Your proposal is not bad. Hmm...how about...we will switch next time? I'll sleep with you here, and you sleep with me?"

Ji Liao's eyes moved inadvertently.

Yan Cun moved up the stairs, followed Ji Liao to the second floor of the small duplex apartment, and stared dumbfounded at the giant ornamental fish tank embedded in the side wall of the stairs.

The group of blue guppies inside seemed to notice his gaze, and shook their heads and wagged their tails to come forward to look at him——he rubbed his nose and thought: Bloody money.

Ji Liao took out a set of clean pajamas from the closet in the bedroom, stared at Yan Cun for a while, and finally said, "Your house is bugged...you should sleep here with me."

Although the other party didn't seem to be affected by the bug just now, he still thoughtfully turned on all the lights in the room, and led Yan Cun to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

Yan Cun replied with a smile, "That's right."

He smelled the faint mint aroma from the fabric of the pajamas, and the tip of his nose moved slightly. Then he looked up and saw the huge bathtub in the corner of the bathroom, and his expression froze instantly on his face.

"...??!" He asked late, "Are you... bathhouse? Swimming pool??"

Refresh the knowledge that Ji Xiao's forensic doctor is rich.

"Hmm..." Ji Liao strode into the bathroom, stretched out his hand to adjust the temperature of the water heater, and explained, "I thought it was troublesome at the beginning, so I just asked people to arrange the whole house decoration, but I didn't expect to do this."

He motioned to the other party to feel whether the water temperature was suitable. The brainwaves of the two did not align for a long time, so they had no choice but to grab Yan Cun's wrist and probe in the direction of the water flow.

"Oh!" Yan Cun finally came to his senses and replied, "Just right, neither hot nor cold."

Ji Liao nodded, moved his eyes towards the bathtub, and asked tentatively: "Well, do you want...to feel it?"

"...No, no, no, no," Yan Cun waved his hands quickly, and accidentally threw water droplets on Ji Liao's face, raised his hand to wipe his face gently, and said, "Next time, next time... this time ... a bit wasteful."

Ji Liao said "yes" and didn't move. He pondered for a while and couldn't think of an excuse, so he said helplessly, "The guest room is on the left side of my bedroom."

Yan Cun responded, closed the bathroom door, and slowly unbuttoned his uniform.

Since graduating from university and entering the Criminal Investigation Detachment, Huihui has been very busy when he encounters a case and goes out to work. It has become a habit to race against time to eat, bathe and sleep-no, he can't eat fast, he usually chooses not to eat.

After 10 minutes, he threw the uniform into the washing machine and pressed the switch, and walked towards the guest room at the other end of the corridor.

After lying down for a while, and after drying the police uniform, he seemed to suddenly remember something, opened the chat box and sent Ji Liao a message: [By the way, you slept well today... how are you? 】

He raised his eyes to recall for a while, and saw that Ji Liao was indeed in good spirits just now, so he went on to say: 【Did you lie to me this morning?Is it all night? 】

Ji Liao's message appeared in the chat box at the same time: [I slept well. 】

After a long time, he sent another one: [No, I won't lie to you. 】

【……real? 】

【Really, I didn't come until I slept, but I woke up a little earlier. 】

Yan Cun squinted his eyes, and it took him a long time to return to the [oh] past.

He looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, he sent Ji Liao a "good night" with his fingertips, and immediately pressed the voice button.

"Oh, by the way... I have to explain to you, I don't doubt that there is a reason for Jiang Huai, it's not because of looking at him through a filter."

Half a minute later, the top of the chat box began to display 'the other party is typing', and then changed to 'the other party is speaking', and a six-second voice appeared in the dialogue window.

"Well, I know, it may not be the door opened by those two keys."

"Hmm... why don't you ask me?"

"Do not ask."

"I don't wonder why I don't suspect you?"

"Not curious."

"..." Yan Cun took a deep breath, pressed the voice button for a long time without speaking, and said helplessly, "...you're talking to death."

'The other party is talking' kept flashing above the chat box, but there was no message for a long time, so he continued to send: "Actually, it's nothing... Probably because I have experienced the feeling of 'not being trusted', So I don’t want to doubt you subconsciously.”

The moment the message was sent, Ji Liao also sent a voice: "Actually, you know who it is."

Ji Liao in the next room felt that he could easily piss off Captain Yan so easily, so he tapped the keyboard with his fingertips and added: 【Is it? 】

Captain Yan was momentarily at a loss for words, staring at the line of words in the chat window, typing several lines of ellipses to Ji Liao.

Although he was used to Ji Liao's insight into his small thoughts anytime and anywhere, he still couldn't help jumping up from the bed, and felt that it was a bit silly for them to chat like this for a moment.

So he decisively broke into Ji Liao's room next door with the quilt in his arms, and met Ji Liao who was sitting on the bed staring at the screen of his mobile phone. He pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "As for what, living in the same room and chatting through the wall."

Ji Liao looked up at Captain Yan who was wearing his pajamas, took a breath, forcibly suppressed the corners of his upturned mouth, and gently raised his hand to pat the bed beside him.

Yan Cun couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and threw the quilt on the bed, moved onto the bed and sat beside Ji Liao.

"Well," he turned sharply to face Ji Liao, blinked, and said after thinking for a long time, "Actually, I think... probably my adoptive father pretended."

"..." Ji Liao didn't expect such a development, "???...?!?"

"No no no no no!" Seeing that the other party's expression was not quite right, Yan Cun quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't think about it!"

He organized his words a little bit, and after a long pause, he hesitated and said: "That's right, when I was a child... um... There was a period of time when my mental state was not right, and I was quite autistic. He was worried about me at that time, afraid that I would not be able to think about it. Just... no... I didn't think about it! Just... he didn't know that I knew he had installed surveillance... It was a bit confusing, anyway, he didn't really look at the surveillance..."

Seeing the confused expression on Ji Liao's face, he hesitated and added: "Do you understand what I mean? Huh?"

Ji Liao opened his mouth, digested the huge amount of information, and answered after a long time: "Understood."

His attention was completely focused on the words 'self-closing', 'wrong mental state', and 'can't think about it' in Yan Cun's words, his voice choked up for a moment, and he didn't know whether he should ask or not.

"He doesn't look at those monitors, it's just...just in case..." Yan Cun coughed lightly, "Although I was really shocked when I found the monitor at home, after thinking about it, I think it was He's more likely."

Ji Liao frowned, feeling something was wrong, and asked after a long time, "Then why... install surveillance now?"

"Well," Yan Cun guessed boldly, "Maybe it's because I've been staying up all night lately, afraid of my sudden death?"

"..." Ji Liao said, "...please don't suffer!"

Yan Cun chuckled, turned up the volume and said confidently: "I haven't stayed up late for a long time!"

Ji Liao stared at him for a while without saying a word, then heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a little worried.

"Be careful, in case it's not him."

"Understood," Yan Cun nodded, "Isn't this your house?"

Seeing that it was getting late, the current atmosphere was really not quite right with the case, so he pulled the quilt and moved his eyes towards the switch.

Ji Liao understood immediately, reached out and turned off the headlights in the house, and then turned on the newly bought night light with a "snap".

The two of them got into the bed without saying a word, and each occupied a seat on the other side of the bed, looking at the ceiling at the same time, as if they were thinking about something.

After a while, the two turned around at the same time, and their eyes met.

Ji Liao stared at him from the weak light for a while, opened his mouth, and suggested: "Just in case, you should live here recently. I will accompany you back to pick up your things tomorrow. It's close anyway."

"It makes sense," Yan Cun didn't think too much, smiled at him, and said, "I just wanted to ask you if it's convenient for you to take me in for a few days."

The author has something to say: Bathtubs...stairs...

hey hey hey...

The walls of the fish tank... are also quite strong... (whispers)

Yan: What are you talking about?

Ji: ... I don't understand.
