Yokai Office

It took a long time before Shen Xi came out of the compartment.

There was still a little blush on his face, An Yin followed behind him, looking down, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zong Ci had been staring at him for a long time, and when he saw the other party looking back, he suddenly withdrew his gaze.

Shen Xi walked back to Zong Ci and sat down beside him. He smiled and said, "Team Zong."

"Huh?" Zong Ci's voice could not hear the slightest wave.

"When are we going home?" Shen Xi asked, "I'm a little sleepy."

Just now Shen Xi drank a few glasses of wine and made a fuss for a while, he was so sleepy at the moment.

Zongci heard his soft tone and looked sideways.

The other party was looking at him with his eyes wide open, with a trace of mist in his eyes, probably because he was extremely sleepy and had a physiological reaction.

It's just that the way is ignorant, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.

"You..." Zong Ci originally wanted him to go to An Yin, but before the words could be uttered, he forcefully stopped them in his throat.He changed his words unnaturally, "Let's go."

"Okay!" Shen Xi got up and yawned uncontrollably.

He looked at Bi Fang, Feng Feng and others in the distance, and hesitated, "Should I say hello to the seniors before leaving?"

Zong Ci followed his words and looked up.

Seeing that An Yin had separated from Shen Xi, she was also on the other side, and said directly and decisively, "No need, let's go."

"Oh, good." Shen Xi responded obediently.

The two walked in tandem.Zong Ci walked in the front, thinking of the scene of Shen Xi and An Yin staying together before, he felt inexplicably upset.

Zong Ci was not dull at all, he knew that his feelings for Shen Xi were a little out of bounds, even to the point of being out of control.He even exposed his true emotions several times.

This is not a good thing for Zong Ci who has always been indifferent.

But for Shen Xi, he was a little hard to let go, and would always unconsciously look for the figure of the other party.

Zong Ci thought about it for a while, and suddenly found that the footsteps behind him disappeared.

Startled, he immediately turned to look.

Unexpectedly, he didn't see Shen Xi's figure, but instead saw a fluffy dog ​​lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.

"..."

The tension in Zong Ci's heart was relieved a little, but a stronger sense of helplessness arose.

This guy really likes to turn himself back into his original body to sleep when he is really drunk.

Zong Ci recalled the last time, the way Shen Xi molested himself when he was drunk, the smile in his eyes was even bigger.

Regarding that matter, the other party should have been kept in the dark, otherwise he might be scared into what he would look like.

Zong Ci was about to move closer, when a black shadow suddenly appeared and bent over to hug Shen Xi.

"Ah, it's really cute to fall asleep."

There was a moment of alertness in Zong Ci's eyes, and he walked away quickly, "The murderous aura on your body is too strong, it will hurt him."

"Come on, you're the one who sees him as delicate." The man in front of him spoke, it was the judge Cui Yu.

The other party was still wearing the same black long coat as before, and his loose hair was tied behind a red thread, which was simple and chic.

Cui Yu touched the dog in his arms, the soft hair was really indescribably comfortable.

"Don't look at me like an enemy." Cui Yu handed Shen Xi over, "Here, here you go, hug me."

Shen Xi was probably drunk, so he didn't wake up after making such a fuss.

Perhaps smelling the familiar temperature in his sleep, Gouzi rubbed his head against Zongci's chest and continued to sleep soundly.

Seeing this, Zong Ci loosened his brows and hugged him tightly in his arms.Immediately, he turned his attention to Cui Yu and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"

When Cui Yu heard this, his eyes darkened, and there seemed to be a flash of blood in them.

He showed a charming smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.On the contrary, there was an indescribable loneliness all over his body.

Seeing him like this, Zong Ci was slightly taken aback.

"It's just because of that person's birthday, I came to see you on a whim."

Cui Yu had two jugs of wine in his hands out of thin air, and shook them, "It seems that you today... are not suitable to accompany me."

Zongci's expression changed drastically.

A while ago, he only cared about Shen Xi and An Yin's affairs, but left this matter behind him.

Cui Yu didn't even look at his expression, and directly opened a bottle of wine, and the mellow wine smell came out.He sniffed, closed his eyes, deliberately ignored the emotion in his eyes, and took a sip.

With a sip of strong wine, he suppressed the vague and unreal emotions.

"That's right, just let it go." Cui Yu said thoughtfully, "You and this little guy are going to have a good time. I'd better keep this wine and drink it myself. I'll go first."

Zong Ci didn't say a word the whole time, but his expression rarely showed a bit of unbearable.

"Cui Yu." He stared at Cui Yu's back and shouted.

Cui Yu stopped and did not turn around.

"how about you?"

Cui Yu was silent for a long time, and then let out a low chuckle.

Then it turned into a black mist and left.

Zongci stood there for a long time, until the dog in his arms hummed unconsciously a few times before he came back to his senses.He hugged Shen Xi and returned to the car.

The car sets the destination and drives automatically.

Zong Ci looked down at Shen Xi, without saying a word.

Until he arrived at the door of his house, he finally suppressed all the feelings that were still troubling him.

***

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the moon is full and bright.

Shen Xi stayed in the kitchen cheerfully, while the mobile phone beside him was still maintaining video communication.

"Fu Ju! Am I doing this right? How much vinegar should I add?..."

"One and a half scoops! One and a half scoops!" Fu Lincheng's exasperated voice came, "Why would Zong Ci allow you to enter the kitchen? I said, why don't I do it? Watching you torment is more difficult than handling a case."

"Fu Ju, don't come here! It's the last dish." Shen Xi hastily stopped him.He turned over the meatballs in the pot, showed them to Fu Chenglin, and changed the subject, "I think it's pretty good."

Fu Chenglin didn't bother to talk about him anymore, seeing that it was the last dish, he quickly said, "Look at the pot, just don't burn it! I still have something to do, hang up!"

"Thank you Fu Ju, goodbye!"

Shen Xi hung up the communication, humming an out-of-tune song, full of smiles.

Zong Ci's voice suddenly came from behind, "Is this old Fu enough?"

"Team Zong!" Shen Xi turned his head, the smile on his face hadn't stopped, "Look, I'm doing pretty well!"

Zong Ci approached, and the simple three dishes and one soup were not bad.At least there is no strange color and pungent smell.

"It's okay." Zong Ci commented.

When Shen Xi heard this comment, his face fell.Immediately, he quickly regained his fighting spirit and was full of confidence, "A famous teacher produces a good apprentice, the taste must be good!"

Zong Ci smiled lightly, "Really?"

"Of course." Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Xi handed the spatula to Zongci, "Zongtei, when the soup is almost absorbed, serve it up! I'm going to take a shower first, and then have a good meal !"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Zong Ci's answer or not, he ran back to the room in a hurry.

Zong Ci stared blankly at the shovel in his hand, froze for several seconds, then closed his eyes and sighed resignedly.

***

Wait until the food is on the table.Only then did Shen Xi excitedly say, "Team Zong! You eat! I haven't celebrated the Lantern Festival with anyone for a long time! I also bought glutinous rice balls, and I'll eat them last."

When Zong Ci heard the words, he remembered Shen Xi's previous life and was slightly startled.

——Hasn’t spent Lantern Festival with others for a long time?

"...Well, me too." Zong Ci calmed down his emotions without a trace, and then smiled slightly, "Thanks for your hard work, I will eat well."

After receiving Zong Ci's reply, Shen Xi's eyes lit up, "Just finish eating!"

—— Only when you are full can you have the strength to talk about business.

Shen Xi added something in his mind, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

Although these dishes were not as good as Fu Shenglin's, they were still delicious.Shen Xi had been busy for a long time, so he was naturally very hungry.Zong Ci can be regarded as saving face, so he ate better.

In less than an hour, the two finished a few dishes.

"Is Team Zong still hungry? I'll go cook glutinous rice balls."

Shen Xi got up, and hurriedly wanted to go to the kitchen.

"Shen Xi, wait a little longer." Zong Ci called to stop him, "I'm full."

"Ah, oh." Shen Xi sat down unnaturally, with an inexplicable sense of disobedience all over his body.

The sharp-eyed Zong Ci sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing." Shen Xi looked sloppy.

Obviously made a lot of preparations before, but at this moment, despite being nervous, I don't remember anything.

"Really? Then I'll go back to the room first." Seeing him like this, Zong Ci deliberately got up and was about to leave.

"Hey, Team Zong!" Shen Xi hurriedly got up and stopped in front of him, "I, I have something to tell you."

Before the lingering sound fell, Shen Xi's earlobe turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, making it even more round and lovely.

Obviously before doing anything, he easily grabbed Zong Ci's full attention.

"say what?"

Shen Xi pursed her lips, raised her head subconsciously, but was caught off guard by Zong Ci's deep eyes.

For a moment at first glance, the disturbed and tense mood was calmed down.

Shen Xi still remembers the first time he saw Zong Ci, the man was wearing a simple white shirt, just a back view made him stop for a long time.

Then, there is a meeting in the store.At that time, Zong Ci was indifferent, and he was meticulous in everything, with a serious look, which made Shen Xi a little intimidated.Shen Xi didn't dare to approach him until the two of them handled the case together.

Maybe it's the lack of people like Zongci around him, or maybe it's because Zongci is born with a fatal attraction.Shen Xi always wanted to get close to him involuntarily, and always regarded himself as his little follower, and he didn't know how many times he caused Liu Huo to stare.

Shen Xi couldn't remember when he had other feelings for Zongci.

It seemed that from the rooftop that night, Zong Ci rescued him who was surrounded by fear.It's like when the other party said 'protect your weaknesses' when you were in the monster village...

When Shen Xi thoroughly confirmed that it was true, he was already deeply involved, and he was willing to enjoy it.

"Team Zong." Shen Xi took a light breath.

"Huh?" Zong Ci seemed to have noticed something, and his voice was a little unsteady.

"I like you."
