Jigsaw puzzle

Seeing the traces of blood gradually being washed into the sewer, Han Yicheng realized calmly and clearly that he was sick. .

But what if this disease is also his antidote?

Before meeting Li Ran, Han Yicheng felt like he was constantly falling in a bottomless black hole. The most frightening thing was that he didn't know when he would bottom out.

And when he pressed the knife into his arm for the first time, he felt himself "click" and fell to the bottom of the well.

From now on, when you look up, you can see that the distance between yourself and "happiness" is only a few cuts away.

He's even learning to live with this extreme self-loathing, sorting it out, compressing it into a box, and facing it alone only for certain periods of time.

"Why are you in a daze again?" Li Ran pinched Han Yicheng's face helplessly, pulling him back to reality, "Did you hear me just now? Some students came and asked them to go inside to find Xia Ziyang, and the parents came with them Come find me, okay?"

"Yes." Han Yicheng nodded.

"Then I'm going to continue the class. You can...do something else yourself, instead of sitting here so engrossed."

"Okay." Han Yicheng thought for a while, and took out a book from his bag to read.

There were a lot of people coming to the dance room for class on Sunday, and many children were noisy. Fortunately, Han Yicheng had a strong concentration, and he sat at the front desk reading a book calmly, without being affected at all.

"See, if you can concentrate on studying like that brother, I'll buy you a game console." A mother sat beside her and poked her son's forehead with her finger.

It wasn't until a long time after lunch that Li Ran had time to rest.Han Yicheng helped him buy a boxed lunch from downstairs in advance, and the two of them sat down in the hallway and ate together.

"What virtue and ability do I have?" Li Ran sighed while looking at Han Yicheng's side face while eating, "I found a doctor to be on stage for free for me, and he's so handsome, I'm burning with desire."

Han Yicheng looked at Li Ran and raised his eyebrows, already used to his daily life full of flirty words.

He thinks that Li Ran is an amazing person. He is really coquettish when he is coquettish, and he is really pure when he is pure. The two contradictory personalities are entangled and twisted together, which fascinates him so much that he can't help himself.

Just like now, just looking at him, Han Yicheng felt hot.

He touched his nose in a concealed manner, lowered his head and continued to fight against the food box, picked out all the vegetables, and placed them neatly in the corner of the lunch box.

"Han Yicheng!" Li Ran said seriously, "I ate all the vegetables you picked up."

Han Yicheng didn't seem to hear it, and covered the vegetables with rice, pretending that there was no such thing.

"Tsk," Li Ran pulled his hair again, added the vegetables he had "buried", and handed them to Han Yicheng's mouth, "Eat them!"

Only then did Han Yicheng open his mouth obediently, and swallowed the vegetable leaves that Li Ran fed him.Li Ran watched him chew, and suddenly felt that he was forcing a big bad wolf to eat cabbage.

At this time, there was a deliberate coughing sound from the door, breaking the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere in the room, and the two turned their heads to look at the door at the same time.

Qi Dongqing pulled Qi Xin and stood outside the door, looking more embarrassed than the two of them, as if he didn't know whether to come in or not.

On the contrary, it was Qi Xin, who had a 11-year-old aunt's kind smile on her 51-year-old face.

"Well, I'll send her here first." Qi Dongqing's eyes wandered around, unable to find a suitable position, "Today...let her follow you first, there...is an event in our shop."

"Okay." Li Ran noticed the word "you" that Qi Dongqing said, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy in his heart. He squeezed his eyes at Qi Xin, "I heard that someone has won an award, right? Report to the teacher, what?" What's the situation?"

"Don't be too happy, it's just the second prize." Qi Xin pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact her feet were kicked up with pride. She took out her phone and showed Li Ran the photos from yesterday.

The photo is a group photo of Qi Dongqing and Qi Xin accepting the award together. Qi Dongqing obviously has never participated in such an occasion before. Li Ran can tell from the photo that he is very nervous. He is obviously accompanying his daughter to accept the award, but he doesn't smile at all.

But Qi Xin next to her was very happy, happily raising her chin towards the camera, which didn't match her usual aloof personality at all.

Qi Xin has been here many times, and she consciously ran to the classroom and sat down to play with her mobile phone.

Qi Dongqing didn't leave directly, but sat down in the shop hesitantly.

"Are you here...to help?" He looked at Han Yicheng and asked.

"Ah."

"Was that girl yesterday... the front desk?" Qi Dongqing asked Li Ran pretending to be nonchalant.

Li Ran felt a little strange. He recalled what Chen Xian said about Qi Dongqing's familiarity yesterday, and replied, "You mean Chen Xian? She is my friend. She came to help the store yesterday. Do you know each other?"

"No, I don't know him, I just asked casually," Qi Dongqing stood up, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, was about to smoke but remembered that this was indoors, and put it back in embarrassment.

"I'll...go back first," he glanced at Han Yicheng before he opened the door and left, "...thank you."

Probably before, Qi Dongqing had never said a word of thanks to Han Yicheng, and now Han Yicheng was very confused. He looked at the back of Qi Dongqing riding a small broken motorcycle and fell into deep thought.

Li Ran felt that this matter was incredible. If it was a coincidence that Chen Xian felt that Qi Dongqing had familiar eyes, then why did Qi Dongqing take the initiative to ask for information about Chen Xian?They should not know each other at all.

He looked at Qi Xin who was playing with his mobile phone in the room, and couldn't figure it out.

"Tell me, have you met Chen Xian and Qi Dongqing before?" Li Ran seemed to be asking Han Yicheng, and also seemed to be talking to himself, "Supposedly it shouldn't be, shouldn't Qi Dongqing be much older than her?"

"No." Han Yicheng shook his head, still expressionless.

Li Ran turned to look at Han Yicheng, motioning for him to continue talking.

"Chen Xian is actually a little... like my sister."

Li Ran was stunned, he had never expected this level, and he didn't know what to say.

"You mean... looks?" He tried to recall Han Yanan's appearance in the photo, but his memory was a little fuzzy and he couldn't remember it.

"They don't look like each other, but..." Han Yicheng frowned, as if he was thinking about how to describe his feelings to Li Ran, "It just makes people feel very similar, in terms of demeanor, personality, way of speaking, and dressing style."

"She has several bracelets and earrings on her hand. My sister has worn exactly the same ones, as well as her hairstyle and color... When I saw her for the first time, I was also a little surprised."

After Han Yicheng said this, Li Ran gradually understood that the overall temperament of Han Yanan's old photo was indeed somewhat similar to Chen Xian.

"However, after Qi Dongqing left yesterday, Chen Xian also told me that she thought Qi Dongqing looked familiar."

"...Huh?" Han Yicheng also looked confused now.

"How old is Qi Dongqing?" Li Ran asked.

"36."

"If you're eight years younger, it's impossible to know each other." Li Ran scratched his head in confusion, "Your sister died 11 years ago. At that time, Chen Xian was only 17 years old, and he hadn't been admitted to this city to go to university."

The two were silent at the same time, and they couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.

"That might be a coincidence." Han Yicheng said.

After that, the two of them didn't discuss this matter again. Li Ran was still so busy that he devoted himself to his career.When Han Yicheng worked from nine to five, he would go to Li Ran's dance studio for a while when he was free, and sit at the front desk to watch him teach.

Li Ran posted Qi Xin's certificate and photos on the wall of the dance room for the parents who came to the class to observe. With the arrival of the summer vacation of elementary and middle school students, the sales of courses in the new store are also booming.

Xia Ziyang and Li Shuyu finally grew up to be independent teachers after being tortured by a bunch of little kids. Li Ran saw that the time was right, so he recruited another teacher for them to take care of. come out.

Han Yicheng followed Li Ran more and more proficiently to Zhang Lingyu's for dinner, and then was detained by Li Weiguo to play chess.

Li Weiguo's legs had recovered enough to be able to walk on the ground. When Li Ran walked with him, he would occasionally call Han Yicheng.

"It's great, it feels like I have raised two sons." Li Weiguo always sighed with a smile.

They also met Li Chen once at home, and to Li Ran's surprise, Li Chen lost a lot of weight compared to the New Year, and his small beer belly changed from a perfect circle to a semicircle shape.

"How is your girl chasing you?" Li Ran asked him, "Did I set you up for nothing?"

Li Chen was speechless, seeing that Han Yicheng was not nearby, he asked furtively, "Aran, tell me the truth, is Cheng Yi interested in Han Yicheng?"

"Impossible," Li Ran shook his head, "You chase after yourself, don't find objective reasons for yourself."

"I've posted so many times on Moments, but she didn't like it, but the last time you went to Thailand to post that photo of Han Yicheng, she just commented on love!"

"That's because..." Li Ran was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain to Li Chen.

"Would you like Han Yicheng to help me find out? See what direction I should work hard?" Li Chen said tentatively, "I... really like Cheng Yi, unlike the girls you introduced to me before. A feeling."

"What's the different feeling? The feeling that someone is finally embarrassed to reject you directly?" Li Ran mocked.

Li Chen stared angrily: "You have the nerve to mock me? Didn't you just lose your good skin and be single for 26 years?"

"Nonsense, I just went to high school..." Li Ran caught a glimpse of Han Yicheng passing by the door of his house, and shut his mouth all of a sudden.

Li Chen thought he had poked Li Ran's sore spot, so he became proud: "Hey~ Then bragging, what happened since high school? What happened since high school?"

"If you do this again, I won't ask for you."

"Don't, don't, don't," Li Chen hesitated all of a sudden, "Let Han Yicheng ask for me, it's okay to be side-by-side."

"Go play chess with my dad, I'll think about it later." Li Ran looked at Han Yicheng behind the door with furious eyes, and quickly pushed Li Chen to let him go.

As soon as Li Chen left the room, Han Yicheng sneaked in.He locked the door behind his back, forced Li Ran to a corner, and asked him in Li Ran's ear.

"Since high school, huh?"

The hot air exhaled from Han Yicheng's mouth made Li Ran's ears turn red, he got goose bumps all over his body, and his legs went limp.

"What do I rely on you for..." Li Ran protested angrily, "They are all outside!!"

Han Yicheng ignored him, pinched Li Ran's chin and kissed him.

Li Ran felt that Han Yicheng was learning about kissing with the spirit of doing scientific research. As they did this more and more times, Li Ran's dominance was gradually taken away by Han Yicheng.

He was kissed so badly that he could hardly breathe. Just when Li Ran subconsciously rubbed against Han Yicheng's thigh, his cell phone rang.

"Well," he pulled away in some embarrassment, and took out his phone tremblingly.

The two were taken aback when they saw the name flashing on the screen.

It's Duan Chenyi.
