amnesia

At the beginning of July, Zhang Jingtang, who studied hard for half a year, obtained the IELTS English proficiency test score that met the requirements of the target institution. The agency submitted all his materials, including the carefully crafted portfolio, to Istituto Marangoni.After passing the review, Zhang Jingtang went through a video interview, and finally got the admission notice for the one-year intensive course of fashion design in early August, allowing him to report in early October.The intermediary then assisted him in applying for a visa, which was successfully signed in mid-September.

Because the Yan family’s secret goods trade has many contacts with the European market, Yan Wenxi and some of his subordinates hold three-year multiple-entry visas between the United Kingdom and the Netherlands (Schengen country), so that they can go to Europe at any time when they have something to do, and now it is also convenient for him. Go and send Zhang Jingtang out to study.

At the end of September, Yan Wenxi flew to Milan, Italy with Zhang Jingtang, taking an interpreter and two subordinates.Zhang Jingtang was settled near the Marangoni College. Two or three days before leaving school, Yan Wenxi spent a few days walking around with Zhang Jingtang in the local area, and returned to China after school started.

Now that the two are far apart, of course Yan Wenxi misses Zhang Jingtang very much.Although Zhang Jingtang was busy with work and study before, and I didn't always stay by his side like before, at least I could see each other on Sunday at least once a week.Now Zhang Jingtang has gone to Milan. Not only is the distance far away, there is also a 7-hour time difference, and his classes are still very tight, so there is not much time for video calls.

Because Zhang Jingtang's schoolwork is really heavy, Yan Wenxi doesn't want him to get up early to talk to him, for fear that he will feel sleepy in class later.Every time it was time for the scheduled video call, Yan Wenxi would get up before six o'clock in the morning to wash up, and then chat with Zhang Jingtang who was over there at eleven o'clock in the evening for less than half an hour, and ended the call when the other party was sleepy.

Although they haven't started a formal relationship yet, Yan Wenxi thinks this is a long-distance relationship.

Also because he didn't want to disturb Zhang Jingtang's studies, Yan Wenxi didn't do things like meet once a month even with a visa.Zhang Jingtang also told him that a year passed quickly, and he didn't want Yan Wenxi to fly around to catch jet lag.

But four months later, in mid-February, the day before New Year's Eve, Yan Wenxi still flew to Milan.For such an important festival as the Chinese New Year, he didn't want Zhang Jingtang to spend it outside alone.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Yan Wenxi took Zhang Jingtang to the Yan family's main house, and had a New Year's Eve dinner with his brother and Ah Heng.Although Zhang Jingtang was a little cautious at that time, he was obviously very happy.

Zhang Jingtang also said at the time that it had been a long time since Chinese New Year was celebrated like this.Yan Wenxi didn't dare to think about what Zhang Jingtang, who had lost the memory of Linshui Town, had only the "New Year" in his memory.

So this time, Yan Wenxi came to Milan, wanting to continue to create good Chinese New Year memories for him.But he didn't tell Zhang Jingtang in advance that he planned to surprise Zhang Jingtang.

In Milan in February, the weather is as cold as K city.Wearing a windbreaker and carrying a suitcase, Yan Wenxi hailed a taxi and went directly to Zhang Jingtang's residence.

Yan Wenxi boarded the plane at one o'clock in the morning, and during the 11-hour flight, minus the time difference, it was almost six o'clock in the morning when he arrived at Milan Malpensa International Airport.It took about an hour and a half to get from the airport to Zhang Jingtang's residence.

At about 07:30 in the morning, Yan Wenxi came downstairs to Zhang Jingtang's apartment.He took a breath, reached out and pressed the room number on the gate communicator.He knew that Zhang Jingtang got up at seven o'clock on time when there were classes.

"Pronto?" (Italian for "hello" on the phone)

Not long after, Zhang Jingtang's soft southern voice rang through the intercom.

"A Tang, it's me." Yan Wenxi began to smile from the bottom of his heart when he heard his voice.

"Wenxi!" Zhang Jingtang almost exclaimed, "Hey? Wait...why are you here?"

"Come to celebrate the New Year with you." Yan Wenxi smiled and said, "Let me go up first, it's so cold outside."

"Ah good!"

The door opened in response, Yan Wenxi opened the door and walked in, took the suitcase and took the elevator upstairs.When he got out of the elevator, Zhang Jingtang was already waiting at the elevator entrance.Because there is an air conditioner at home, Zhang Jingtang is only wearing a single piece of cotton pajamas, but the corridor is not much warmer than outside, Yan Wenxi looks worried for a while.

"A Tang, you wear so little, come out..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jingtang had already stepped up and hugged him, so frightened that Yan Wenxi forgot what he was about to say.

After the impulse passed, Zhang Jingtang might have reacted, he let go of his hand, stared at his feet, and reluctantly explained: "It's just a greeting, it's like this among friends here."

That's not the kind of hug, is it?Yan Wenxi thought to himself, but he didn't expose it.He guessed that Zhang Jingtang was so happy to see him suddenly, and he was so excited that he forgot that he was very thin-skinned.

"Okay, come in quickly, don't catch a cold." Yan Wenxi said, pushing Zhang Jingtang back to the residence.

This is a one-bedroom, one-living room with a kitchen and bathroom and a balcony. The space of each room is relatively large, and the decoration and furniture are relatively new. There is also a gym and a swimming pool in the apartment. It is considered a very good apartment.Zhang Jingtang usually lives here alone, which is comfortable and convenient.

"I remember you still have class today, right?" Yan Wenxi put down his suitcase at the door and said while changing his shoes, "I'm going to sleep first and I'm jet lagged, so don't worry about me."

Zhang Jingtang went to pick up the coat he took off, hung it on the coat rack by the door, and asked, "Let me make you something to eat first, can you have fried eggs with bacon?"

"It's really unnecessary. I'll just wake up and come by myself. You can go to class with peace of mind." Yan Wenxi smiled and stretched out his hand to gently pinch Zhang Jingtang's cheek.After not seeing each other for several months, he couldn't help but want to touch each other.

Zhang Jingtang glared at him pretending to be angry, rubbed his face and said, "Then I'm off to class, and I won't be back until evening, so you should have a good rest."

"Know it."

Yan Wenxi waved his hand and just walked to the center of the living room, but Zhang Jingtang followed him and pushed him to the bedroom.

"A Tang?"

"If you don't dislike me, go to bed."

Yan Wenxi originally planned to avoid suspicion, just like in China, be a gentleman, but Zhang Jingtang talked about this, so he had no choice but to accept the kindness.

This sleep lasted until the afternoon, and Yan Wenxi was woken up by his own hunger. After getting up, he cooked himself a bowl of simple fried egg noodles with vegetables with the ingredients in the refrigerator.He looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, planned the dinner for tomorrow's New Year's Eve, wrote down the materials he needed to buy on his mobile phone, put on his windbreaker and went out.

When I sent Zhang Jingtang here before, he had been shopping nearby. Although it had been a few months, I still remembered the general direction. With the help of Google Maps, I went to the relatively large Chinese market nearby.The main things I bought during this trip were mung beans, beef, ingredients and tools, and then I bought some vegetables and meat.

Before he came, he went to Zhang Jingtang's hometown to learn how to make mung bean noodles from the locals.Considering that Zhang Jingtang can't eat the original spicy taste, he tried several times in China, and finally found the less spicy but most delicious topping, which is beef stew.The beef cubes and soup are poured on the boiled mung bean powder, which is really tasty and delicious.

After Yan Wenxi returned to the apartment, he began to make handmade mung bean flour.Wash the mung beans and rice. If there is no graphite, you can only use a powder machine to grind the pulp, and then bake it into a cake shape in a non-stick pan. After all the baking is complete, stack it and cut it into wide strips.

After it was done, he found an opaque crisper to pack the mung bean powder into the cabinet, cleaned the countertop, and prepared to surprise Zhang Jingtang tomorrow.

When Zhang Jingtang came back from get out of class at night, he was a little surprised to see other ingredients in the kitchen.

"Why do I buy so many vegetables? I also said that we will go out to eat together tomorrow night. They said that there will be fireworks and lantern parades in Chinatown tomorrow."

Yan Wenxi suppressed the urge to offer treasures, and said as if nothing had happened: "I think it's better to have dinner at home on New Year's Eve. Why don't we come back to eat after watching the fireworks and lanterns."

"Yes, that's fine." Zhang Jingtang agreed.

Tomorrow is Friday, and Italian schools will not give Chinese students a New Year's Eve holiday, but fortunately, there will only be classes during the day tomorrow.The two ate some supper, and Zhang Jingtang did his homework for a while before washing up and going to bed.This time Yan Wenxi refused to sleep on the bed no matter what, even though it was a big double bed, Zhang Jingtang only mentioned it once and didn't force it again.

At around [-]:[-] p.m. the next day, Yan Wenxi went out to pick up Zhang Jingtang from school.After that, the two went to Chinatown to eat snacks, watched the parade of lanterns and fireworks, and returned to the apartment around ten o'clock in the evening.

Before Yan Wenxi left, he had prepared the beef stew, and kept stewing it slowly on the low setting of the induction cooker.When they opened the door, the scent wafted directly to the door.

"It smells so good." Zhang Jingtang exclaimed.

Yan Wenxi told Zhang Jingtang yesterday that stewed beef is the main course of the New Year's Eve dinner. After all, there are only two people, and they can't cook a big table of fish and meat.Both of them are from the south, and they don't have the habit of eating dumplings during Chinese New Year in their respective families, but they are still used to eating rice.

"There are better ones." Yan Wenxi said mysteriously, setting up a pot to boil water.

Zhang Jingtang thought that Yan Wenxi was going to cook dumplings, so he leaned over and asked, "Have you prepared dumplings?"

"No." Yan Wenxi denied it, but refused to say it out loud.

Unable to ask, Zhang Jingtang searched everywhere by himself, and finally found the hidden fresh-keeping box in the cabinet.He opened the lid and looked at Yan Wenxi in disbelief: "How did you bring it here?" The customs does not allow these foods to enter the country.

"I did it myself, isn't it moving?"

Yan Wenxi smiled smugly. Seeing that the water was boiling, he directly took the crisper and put the mung bean powder into the boiling water.After waiting for a long time, under Zhang Jingtang's eager gaze, Yan Wenxi took out the cooked mung bean powder and put them in two large bowls.

"There are even more surprises." Yan Wenxi said, scooped up two large spoonfuls of warm beef soup with a soup spoon, poured it into the bowl, and then pushed the bowl to Zhang Jingtang, "Try it, my homemade rotten beef and mung bean powder, Make sure you drink the soup after eating."

Zhang Jingtang quickly picked up the bowl, took a sip of the soup first, stuck out his tongue after being burned, but continued to praise: "This soup is really good, very fragrant."

Then he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mung bean powder and put it in his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls, he suddenly burst into tears.Seeing this sudden scene, Yan Wenxi was a little flustered, and quickly handed him a tissue.

"What's the matter, Ah Tang?" Could it be that there is something wrong with the mung bean flour?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingtang wiped away tears and said in a nasal voice, "It's so delicious."

Yan Wenxi laughed and said, "Are you moved to tears by my cooking skills?"

At this moment, Zhang Jingtang had already controlled his emotions. He put down the tissue, and the corners of his eyes were a little red. He looked at Yan Wenxi and said, "I thought I would celebrate the New Year alone this year, thank you."

"You're welcome." Saying that, Yan Wenxi reached out and hugged him. "I won't let you spend New Year's Eve alone in the future."

Zhang Jingtang sniffed, then put his hand on Yan Wenxi's back, and remained silent.
