Jigsaw puzzle

After finishing Duan Chenyi's matter, Li Ran had to go back to the car to coax Han Yicheng.He opened the car door and got in, staring at Han Yicheng who was sitting in the driver's seat for a long time.

On the surface, Han Yicheng still had the same expressionless face, but his mood had obviously changed a lot. Now he was staring straight ahead in a daze, with the attitude that I won't drive unless you explain clearly to me.

Li Ran tugged at his sleeve: "Are you unhappy? Let's talk about it? Why are you unhappy?"

Han Yicheng has been single for 30 years and has never experienced what it feels like to be "jealous".Now Li Ran asked him why he was angry in a soft voice, but he couldn't answer for a while.After thinking for a long time, Han Yicheng gave a safe answer.

"It's an unhealthy state of mind to be entangled in a relationship that is doomed to fail for too long," Han Yicheng said.

Hearing what he said, Li Ran burst out laughing: "Oh, I met a love master." Li Ran put his hand on his chin and asked him, "Where did you see it?"

Han Yicheng thought for a while before answering: "My sister originally said that."

"Then I'll teach you the second lesson for my sister." Li Ran stretched his waist and looked at Han Yicheng with a smile. "It's what a boyfriend should do when he's jealous of his ex-boyfriend. Stand by my side unconditionally to comfort him." I'm what a friend should do."

He rubbed against Han Yicheng, "Do you want to be my friend? Or do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Han Yicheng's face turned red all of a sudden, and his ears were red as if they were about to bleed.He seemed to be very entangled, his fingers were clenched tightly, and his facial expression was a bit hideous.

Han Yicheng's current reaction reminded Li Ran of the night when Han Yicheng got drunk for the first time, when he teased him and asked him if he liked men, Han Yicheng also had a similar, tangled and painful expression.

This reaction seemed to have been stimulated before.Li Ran couldn't figure out what his knots and pains were, so he didn't dare to force him too hard for a while.

Li Ran pinched Han Yicheng's face, and suddenly felt that the feeling was quite different from what he had imagined. The hard stuff in his imagination didn't exist, but very delicate soft/flesh, sticking to the towering cheekbones.

"If you can't figure it out, think about it slowly~" Li Ran said, "I'll reward you to drink milk tea first~"

The spring in the north is short and pleasant. Since Li Ran adopted the advice of the students and opened a Douyin account for himself, the business of the dance studio has been booming.Now the three teachers can basically fill their classes, and the classrooms are operating at full capacity.

"It's really hard to ask you out now, Boss Li," Zheng Qi complained to Li Ran with a bitter face, "I feel like I've seen Lao Han more than you recently!"

Zheng Qi's words were true. Ever since he found out that his company was very close to Han Yicheng's unit, he often went to Han Yicheng for dinner every now and then at noon.

Zheng Qi is very talkative and impatient. He is not good at comforting others, but he always wants someone to listen to his long-winded speeches.It happened that he caught Han Yicheng, who was silent all day long, and since then Zheng Qi was out of control, and had to go to Han Shudong to talk about small and big matters.

And Han Yicheng himself is in a novel state just brought out of the vacuum bottle by Li Ran, and he still finds it very interesting to listen to Zheng Qi's family story.

"Don't interfere with our old Han's work. Sometimes I find you annoying." Li Ran took a bite of the orange on the table and sighed, "Public institutions are good, and the cafeteria buffet is so rich!"

Today was the first time that Li Ran followed Zheng Qi to the cafeteria of Han Yicheng's unit for a meal, and it was also the first time that Li Ran saw Han Yicheng at work.

He still wears the same pair of glasses as before, with an ID card hanging around his neck. He is tall and thin and has an abstinent temperament. Even in a plaid shirt, he stands out from the crowd.

Why didn't I think he was so good-looking before? Li Ran rubbed his eyes and whispered something in his heart.

Li Ran was thinking about it when he was suddenly interrupted by a quiet female voice next to him.When he turned his head, he saw a girl with short hair matching her ears, greeting Han Yicheng.

"Senior brother," the girl said to Han Yicheng with a plate, "What a coincidence, are you eating here too?"

Han Yicheng nodded: "Yes."

Li Ran glanced at the ID card hanging on the girl's chest, which read: Cheng Yi, an intern researcher.

"My article has been edited almost, I will write you as the second author," Cheng Yi smiled at Han Yicheng, "It's been a hard time, brother, I must treat you to dinner when I have time."

Han Yicheng shook his head: "The second author should write Tian Lei. It was decided before, but it's not good to change it now?"

"Oh, the boss meant to write about you," Cheng Yi said, "The boss asked me to go to Senior Brother Tian before, and he pushed it to you. Now the boss is a little dissatisfied with him."

After Cheng Yi finished speaking, he turned his attention to Li Ran and Zheng Qi: "This is...?"

Han Yicheng hesitated for a moment, and introduced: "It's my friend, Li Ran, Zheng Qi."

"Hello~" Li Ran blinked at Cheng Yi, and moved a seat to Zheng Qi's side, "Miss, are you coming to eat together?"

Cheng Yi guessed that he rarely came into contact with boys with Li Ran's personality, so he felt a little embarrassed and blushed a little.

"Ah, no, no," she said, "I don't want to bother you anymore, I still have some work to do, so I'm leaving first, you guys have a good meal."

"Hey," Zheng Qi looked at Li Ran speechlessly, "Look how frightened the little girl is. This company is full of cultural people. Don't play around with young ladies, you're like a hooligan."

Li Ran looked at Cheng Yiyuan's back and squeezed his chin, "It's a pity, I don't know him", he said, "Otherwise, I can introduce it to Li Chen, and he will like it at first glance."

"You can put it down, and don't look at your brother's figure, he looks like a little Maitreya Buddha," Zheng Qi curled his lips, "The girl is white and clean and has a high degree of education, what are you trying to figure out about him?"

"Hmm." Han Yicheng also interrupted suddenly, "Not worthy."

After eating the last piece of orange, Li Ran threw the peel into the iron plate, and said in a melancholy tone, "Oh, that is to say, why is it so difficult for people to fall in love?"

After lunch, after Han Yicheng returned to work, Zheng Qi began to wink at Li Ran: "I said, your progress this time is too slow. If Lao Han is really a straight man, you can let Tang Seng and his old man go!"

"I'm not that hungry/thirsty, okay? When did you see me meet a straight man?" Li Ran squinted at Zheng Qi, "On the night we finished drinking for the first time, Qi Xin's father came to pick her up , ask me the first thing I say, are you Han Yicheng's date? If he is a straight man, would Qi Dongqing ask that?"

"Then what's the matter with this old man? Haven't been in a relationship for too long, and his function has been damaged?"

Li Ran sighed: "I don't know, maybe there is some childhood shadow that needs to be resolved? Take your time, this kind of thing can't be rushed."

"Hey," Zheng Qi was delighted when he heard Li Ran's tone, "I can still see Li Ran like you in my lifetime, tsk tsk, it's really not easy, everything in the world is reduced to one thing!"

When Li Ran returned to the apartment humming a little song that night, he received a pleasant surprise.As soon as he opened the door, Qi Xin excitedly pulled him to the window.

"Look, look, look!! Aran No. [-] is blooming!!!"

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and looked at the white porcelain bowl on the window sill. Several soft vines protruded from it, clinging to several connected chopsticks. The ones that don't open hang on it.

"This is... morning glory?" Li Ran was so busy arguing with Han Yicheng that he almost forgot about planting flowers. He walked over to the porcelain bowl in surprise, and carefully touched the half-opened morning glory with his hand. Hua, "Aran No.[-], you are so upbeat!!!"

Han Yicheng also seemed to be in a very good mood, his eyes became extraordinarily gentle standing beside him, and he took a cup and poured some water on the morning glory in the bowl.

"I didn't expect that the first one to bloom was Aran No. [-]," Qi Xin pouted, "It was so short at the time!"

"This is called concentration is the essence~" Li Ran clapped his hands happily, "Oh, that's right! Didn't it say that those who bloom first will be rewarded?"

Qi Xin was very open-minded about betting, patted his chest and said to Li Ran: "You can make any wish, I am willing to bet and admit defeat."

"Ah~ If that's the case," Li Ran rolled his eyes, "Then why don't you go to the art festival for elementary and middle school students? Give your teacher Aran a shout!"

"Ah?" Qi Xin's eyes widened, "Your request is so simple? Didn't you do something for you?"

Li Ran squatted down a little so that he and Qi Xin could look at each other at the same level: "It's not easy. If you want to participate in the competition, you must re-arrange the dance and practice. You have to find time every day. I thought you were very unwilling to participate. .”

"I won't participate if I'm not asked..." Qi Xin thought for a while, then said, "But if you ask, it's not a big deal. But if I don't get the prize, will you be disappointed?"

"Of course not!" Li Ran shook his head: "How about this, if you win the prize, I'll treat you to dinner, if you don't win the prize, let Han Yicheng treat you to dinner, how about it?"

Qi Xin's eyes lit up, "Really? Is it okay to eat fried chicken?"

"Of course! You decide whatever you want~"

Unexpectedly by Li Ran, Qi Xin was very satisfied with this arrangement.She hummed a song and continued to stroke the green leaves of "Qi Xin No. [-]" twice. She suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked Li Ran: "What about Han Yicheng? What request did you ask him to promise you?"

"Well..." Li Ran looked at Han Yicheng with a smirk, "Before the competition, you have to go to the dance room for extra lessons for practice, so let Han Yicheng send you back, okay?"

Han Yicheng frowned slightly upon hearing this request, and finally nodded in agreement.Instead, Qi Xin looked disappointed: "What, this is too simple, Brother Aran, you are so easy to be satisfied."

After going through this little incident, Li Ran swept away the gloomy mood of being ignored by someone Han a while ago, wishing to say goodbye to "Aran No. [-]" every morning before going to work.

Not to mention that every now and then, seeing Han Yicheng coming to pick him up in the dance room, he was so proud that his tail was soaring to the sky.

"Hey, hello!" Xiao Yu almost needed to rub his eyes when he saw Li Ran now, "Aren't you a spider spirit forcing me to come here! Look, Tang Seng and even the old man can't laugh anymore!"

Li Ran turned around and glanced at the elevator. Han Yicheng was obediently pressing the elevator door and waiting for him. Li Ran patted Xiao Xiao with a smile, and quietly leaned into her ear and said, "Nonsense, he doesn't know how to laugh!" Then Bumped and ran to the elevator.

However, in recent days, Li Ran discovered a strange thing about Han Yicheng.Even recently, every morning when he wakes up, he can hear the buzzing sound coming from Han Yicheng's room next door.

The sound was not loud, but it lasted for a long time, especially at [-]:[-] in the morning when Li Ran had the lowest blood pressure, which made him unbearable.

After he heard it the first two times, he tapped lightly on the wall twice, but there seemed to be no response from the other side of the wall. It was not a big deal anyway, and Li then forgot about it when he came.

But today was a rare Monday for Li Ran to rest, and there was such a buzzing sound from the next door, which made him very angry when he got up. A carp stood up and ran to Han Yicheng's door, knocking on his door vigorously.

Han Yicheng didn't know what he was doing inside, and he didn't even respond to Li Ran's knock on the door.

Li Ran struggled for a moment, but still could not suppress the anger of being disturbed by Qingmeng, and pushed open the door.After seeing Han Yicheng inside, Li Ran opened his mouth wide and his jaw almost fell to the ground.

"You...you are...are you running?"
