Hearing this, the two stopped in their tracks, turned their heads, and glanced down at Yan Peifeng who was sitting on the sofa.

Yan Peifeng immediately returned a meaningful smile.

Ji Liao felt inexplicably repulsed by his aura: "..."

Just as he was about to refuse, Shen Huanyu, who had just been packing up the tableware in the kitchen, hurriedly poked his head out and looked at them both with some embarrassment.

She quickly stepped forward and patted Yan Peifeng on the shoulder, glared at him, and said loudly: "Oh—what are you talking about! I didn't buy enough food today...and it's not appropriate for the family to reunite during the Mid-Autumn Festival! Forget it! Please go back!"

Shen Lin was startled, seemed a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Ah... Aunt..."

"It's okay to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Yan Pei interrupted his eldest nephew with a cheeky smile, bent the corners of his eyes, raised his eyes and looked up at Ji Liao who was staring at him, and persuaded him again: "Stay here, it's just for a meal."

The girl who had just returned to the bedroom seemed to hear the movement, and quietly opened a crack in the door to look out. The moment her eyes met the people outside, she hurriedly staggered away, and closed the door with a 'click'.

Ji Liao frowned, and was about to say something when Shen Huanyu interrupted him.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Shen Huanyu didn't hide his displeasure at all, and wanted to send them away quickly, "Then what... two police officers, it's really inconvenient today! You two, please go back Bar!"

"Well, it's really inconvenient." Seeing that Yan Peifeng was about to speak again, Yan Cun sped up his speech first, "Don't bother me, you guys eat, we're leaving first."

He grabbed the corner of Ji Liao's clothes with his hands behind his back, exchanged a glance with him inadvertently, and signaled Shenlin to leave first.

Shen Lin was a little embarrassed, looked around for a while, and gave him a look back, and he just took three steps and two steps to pull Ji Liao away from the villa area.

After getting in the car for a while, he finally relaxed.

After Ji Liao drove the car forward for a certain distance, Yan Cun said: "I don't like this person... this Yan Peifeng, I feel...it seems that the city is quite deep."

Ji Liao said "hmm" immediately: "It feels like a tiger with a smile on its face."

When Yan Peifeng was talking to them just now, he tapped his fingertips lightly on the side of his leg a few times, so he analyzed, "Just now he should be...counting the beat."

"Yes," Yan Cun agreed with him, "He has to wait a few seconds every time I say a sentence, and the speed of his speech is neither fast nor slow. It seems... um... full of sense of proportion."

Just now he jokingly called himself a 'little police officer', as if deliberately putting himself in the position of an elder in order to seize the dominance of the conversation—it's just that the two of them didn't take this approach and didn't frighten him.

Ji Liao responded.

"Forget it," Yan Cun sighed softly, raised his hand to look at the time on the watch, and saw that Ji Liao was driving aimlessly, he came back to his senses, "Well... where are you going to take me?"

Ji Liao thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, I just want to take you outside for a stroll... It seems that you rarely have any entertainment activities."

Yan Cun was stunned for a few seconds, but he didn't deny it: "Indeed... I have fewer hobbies."

His weekday holiday life is almost more boring than that of a retired old man. He plays chess in the park, takes a walk, does Tai Chi and dances in the square. He only stays at home to listen to music and look through past case records, or read a book. To kill time.

It's just that the work can make him a little bit interested.

"You..." Ji Liao asked again, "You don't usually go out with Jiang Huai?"

"No, let's forget about Jiang Huai...he likes to drink and watch movies with girls."

Ji Liao nodded clearly and asked, "Then have a meal first?"

"Okay," Yan Cun said, "Go home and change your uniform first, the off-duty time is too ostentatious."

Ji Liao responded "OK" and drove towards home.

The restaurant was not far from the street where they lived. After they changed into their normal clothes, they decided to walk directly to the place to eat.

"Hmm..." Ji Liao said, "At first I planned to take you to the amusement park, but I thought about your little..."

Seeing Captain Yan glaring at him sadly, he hastily changed the phrase 'little poor', and spoke faster: "Well... I think you probably didn't have a chance to go there when you were young, so I plan to take you there for fun. , but the Mid-Autumn Festival does not seem to open the door."

"?" Yan Cun blinked, "The two of us who are almost 30 years old are going swimming... Oh yes, excuse me, you are still a little far from [-]."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately remembered what he learned about Ji Liao's family situation earlier, and asked late, "You...um...you probably haven't been there either?"

Ji Liao honestly said "Yes".

"Ah..." Yan Cun was startled, pondered his words for a while, and asked, "Then... your elder brother didn't take you and Ji Shuwang to play?"

"No," Ji Liao replied, "My elder brother doesn't have that interest."

"Oh..." Captain Yan hardly hesitated, raised his hand to gently pinch Ji Liao's head, and sighed, "Poor boy."

Ji Liao: "..."

He found a very serious problem - did Yan Cun put himself in the role of an elder.

How does this work, this doesn't work.

However, before he had time to say anything, Yan Cun turned his head to look at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I will take you there when I have a chance."

"..." Ji Liao replied "Yes" very spinelessly.

After they sat down at the table and selected their dishes, Ji Liao took a sip of his lemonade and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, you just said Shen Lin..."

"Oh yes," Yan Cun came back to his senses, "I almost forgot about it."

"It is said that the relationship between his little aunt's family is quite tense, and the relationship between husband and wife is not good, and they often quarrel suddenly while eating at the same table." He sighed softly, "Shen Lin's personality is a bit sensitive, and he can be regarded as depending on others, so he is more cautious in what he says and does. ...But after all the kindness of nurturing for so many years, I still have to go home for a meal from time to time, and occasionally send some money to the family."

He seemed to think of something, and added: "Ah, by the way, I heard him say that my uncle's business was quite successful. His salary is nothing to my uncle's family, but it's still a bit of fun."

Ji Liao pondered for a while, then nodded in response: "Well, it's quite difficult."

Seeing the waiter serve them, Captain Yan replied "Thank you", and then said: "His uncle is smarter, more or less is money, and Shenlin always directly gives away most of his salary every time. I didn't save any money."

Ji Liao thought for a while, and it took him a long time to say "Mmm".

It was around seven o'clock in the evening. There were not many people in the restaurant during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The two of them were a little hungry, so they took a few bites of the tableware first.

"By the way," Ji Liao seemed to think of something again, and said casually, "You will check later..."

After he finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate to deliberately expose people's scars, so he swallowed his words and pretended nothing happened.

"?" After waiting for a long time, Captain Yan was a little unhappy, and poked him with his fingertips, "What's the matter with you? Don't learn if you're good? Don't learn half of what I say?"

"..." Ji Liao couldn't help laughing, "You still know that you half-spoken?"

"Say it or not." Yan Cun raised his eyebrows and asked.

Ji Liao let out a breath, raised his eyes to meet his gaze, and said hesitantly, "In the future, in the future... um... I'll tell you after I check it out."

Captain Yan let out an "oh" when he heard the words, and nodded obediently: "Why are you all doing this..."

Ji Liao looked up at him: "?"

"Hmm...why correct it," he said vaguely, "this morning when we were discussing business, she suddenly mentioned my adoptive father, Fang Yushan, and faltered...I'm not stupid."

He quickly finished the last bite of food in the bowl, took a sip from the water glass, and wiped his mouth.

Ji Liao was startled.

His expression was a little unnatural for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal, and replied: "Don't worry, it's okay."

"I know."

Seeing that Ji Liao was almost done eating, Captain Yan paid the money first, and went out with him: "Well... Actually, you can just say it directly. I am already old, and there is nothing I can't bear."

"..." Ji Liao looked at him helplessly, "You are talking like you are seven or eighty years old."

"Seven to eighty years old..." Yan Cun thought for a while, "It's more than half rounded."

"...There is no need to give up so much." Ji Liao said.

Yan Cun couldn't help but want to laugh a little, and found that the little forensic doctor Ji Liao was a little funny after getting acquainted with him.

The two walked aimlessly on the street for a while.

At first, the little forensic doctor Ji Liao really couldn't imagine, meticulous in his work, what kind of style Captain Yan, who is usually loved by the elderly, would be wandering outside.

After seeing it today, it was indeed slightly different from what he imagined—Captain Yan seemed to be extremely interested in the matter of 'gambling luck'.

Although Yan Cun said loudly that he is a big man who is not interested in the gadgets in the crane machine, Ji Liao still accurately caught the light in his eyes - but Captain Yan's intuition and luck in his previous criminal police work were like It's like a sudden failure, and the slightest effect has not been exerted.

So Ji Liao had no choice but to stop him when he was throwing No. 40 coins, asked him which one he liked, and brought him a kitten doll.

Yan Cun said no, but he took it honestly with both hands, and the corners of his mouth raised a little inadvertently.

Ji Liao suddenly wanted to take a picture of him holding the kitten doll.

The two continued to walk forward for a while, talking a few words from time to time. After a long time, they unlocked the screen and checked the time. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Yan Cun asked, "Where are you going?"

Ji Liao thought for a while without saying a word, and suggested: "Well... why don't you go home and watch a movie, my house has a screening room."

"Ah?" Captain Yan was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize that he let out a long "oh".

Ji Liao stared at him for a while, then asked, "Go to the small supermarket to buy some snacks? Watch a movie?"

Yan Cun nodded: "Well, that's fine."

Ji Liao let out a "hmm".

They turned around and walked back towards the direction of the small supermarket near their previous home. For a while, both of them thought of what happened at the entrance of the supermarket that day when it was thundering and raining.

Thinking of this, Yan Cun unconsciously remembered what they said that night.

He was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, changed the subject first, and asked, "Ah...by the way, I don't seem to ask much about you and your family...um...you rarely mention it."
