Jigsaw puzzle

Judging character through wine taste is the way of knowing people passed down by the old Li family.After the inherent shortcomings of human nature are magnified by alcohol, you can see clearly whether it is a human or a ghost hidden under the skin.It's like untying a locked soul.

In Li Ran's life, it is not uncommon to see people who are usually timid and fearful, and become ugly after drinking, so at this time, Han Yicheng, who has a docile face after drunk, looks very cute.

After sending Zheng Qi and Chen Xian away, Han Yicheng called Qi Dongqing to pick up Qi Xin while he was still awake.After putting down the phone, Li Ran sat with him on the bench at the entrance of the community to blow the air, watching Qi Xin swing on the fitness equipment not far away.

Not long after, Qi Dongqing came driving a small and broken motorcycle.This was the first time Li Ran saw Qi Xin's biological father, and it was very different from his previous imagination.

Qi Dongqing doesn't look too old, his hair is yellow at the tips and black at the roots, it looks like it has been dyed and faded and hasn't been taken care of properly, and it's casually tied into a small knot at the back of his head.It seems that his beard has not been shaved for a long time, and he wears a very fancy shirt under the down jacket, giving him the feeling of a decadent hippie uncle.

Li Ran has never seen a photo of Han Yicheng's sister, but Qi Dongqing's appearance is obviously the exact opposite of Han Yicheng's.Han Yicheng has very aggressive facial features, with the corners of his eyes and mouth drooping, while Qi Dongqing's facial features are warm and deep, and the corners of his mouth naturally rise up. It looks like a very attractive face a few years ago.

Qi Dongqing lit a cigarette after getting off the motorcycle, and when he came over, he saw Li Ran was obviously taken aback.

"This is..." He looked at Han Yicheng, "Is this your partner?"

These words made a long series of exclamation marks in Li Ran's heart, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Han Yicheng.

Han Yicheng was obviously more drunk than when he was on the phone in "One Bone". He stared at Qi Dongqing in a daze for a few seconds, and stood up: "Thank you very much for coming today, thank you."

Qi Dongqing was even more shocked: "Have you been drinking?"

Han Yicheng: "Sorry."

Li Ran couldn't help asking Qi Dongqing: "Does he become so polite every time he finishes drinking?"

"I don't know, he basically didn't drink alcohol before." Qi Dongqing looked Li Ran up and down, "Aren't you his partner?"

"No, I'm just a friend of his."

Han Yicheng paused when he heard "friend", turned his head and said to Li Ran very solemnly, "Thank you."

Qi Dongqing still looked at Li Ran suspiciously, and said, "Misunderstood, I just haven't seen him go out with friends." Li Ran said: "Then you take care of him, thank you for your hard work, brother."

Qi Dongqing's voice was very hoarse, and Li Ran didn't know if he was sick or just born with it.But soon he turned his attention away from this matter and focused on the drunk Han Yicheng.

It turned out that Han Yicheng didn't need to take care of him when he was drunk.

Physically, Han Yicheng walked steadily, breathed evenly, and did not look drunk at all.But from a mental point of view, he has probably degenerated into a 20-year-old, obedient baby who is defenseless.

Li Ran looked at him with some amusement as he helped him block the elevator door, and after entering the room, he arranged the shoes he had taken off very neatly, and then sat down on the sofa very docilely.

Li Ran found a cup from the kitchen, mixed half a cup of warm water from the water dispenser and handed it to him. After taking it, Han Yicheng immediately thanked him very sincerely, and then drank slowly while holding the cup.

Seeing Han Yicheng's unusually cute state, Li Ran suddenly wanted to tease him.

"Han Yicheng," he said as he moved a little towards Han Yicheng, sitting next to him, "Who am I?"

"Aran." Han Yicheng blinked.

"Then why do you rent the house to Aran at a low price?"

"Because..." Han Yicheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his head, his three white eyes were rare, "Ah Ran is my first friend."

Li Ran felt that the feeling of missing a heartbeat in the restaurant just now came again. Although Han Yicheng was six years older than him objectively, he now had a dangerous idea of ​​wanting to treat him like a puppy.

"Aren't you?" Li Ran bit his lower lip, "You like men?"

However, Han Yicheng took a step back abruptly as if he had been poked by something suddenly, and opened the distance between the two of them.He clenched both hands, looking very nervous.

"Han Yicheng?" Li Ran called him.

"I'm sorry..." Han Yicheng said in a low voice and took another step back, "I'm sorry."

Seeing him like this, Li Ran was a little dazed: "Why did you suddenly apologize? It's okay, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it, what are you sorry for?"

"I'm sorry." Han Yicheng repeated again, stood up and walked back to his room, closing the door.

Li Ran looked at the closed door full of question marks. He reflected on his behavior just now, seriously thinking about the possibility that Han Yicheng still remembered this incident, and how he should react when he met him tomorrow.

He didn't understand what illness he was suffering from just now. Before tonight, Li Ran was sure that he had no idea about Han Yicheng.He didn't think he was stupid enough to tease this guy at the risk of ruining his cheap house.

You are too coquettish, Li Ran said to himself silently, don't harm other people's good children, did you hear me?

The next day was Sunday, Li Ran's most crowded day of the week, and he set an alarm clock for [-]:[-] in the morning.When he woke up, Han Yicheng had returned to his usual cold appearance, sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading a book with his face propped up.

"Did you get up so early on the weekend? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?" Li Ran asked him while brushing his teeth.

"Well, I'm used to it," Han Yicheng didn't lift his eyes from the book, as if nothing happened yesterday.

Forget it, he probably doesn't know what happened yesterday.Li Ran glanced at the clock, hurriedly put on his bag and ran out.

Li Ran's dance studio is called R+, and he himself is a small boss.In addition to him, the dance studio also hired two nominal teachers and the receptionist Xiao Xiao.The two stage teachers both graduated from dance majors, and Li Ran paid them quite a lot of salary.The location of the dance room is good, and the rent is high. After all, Li Ran's annual net income is not as much as that of teaching full-time outside.

But he still doesn't want to be limited to teaching, and always wants to think about his own career. Li Ran has been carefully controlling the quality of R+ courses, especially the youth class, which has a good reputation among parents.He has been fantasizing that one day, R+ can open a branch or become a brand.

Ever since Duan Chenyi "accidentally" appeared in the store last time, Li Ran has been avoiding Yu Xiao's love-hate eyes every day.Today Li Ran came early, and the class in the classroom was not over yet, so he had to sit on the sofa in the hallway, facing Yu next to him.

Yu Yu looked at him condescendingly from the front desk: "Boss, can't we hide now? Let's talk."

Li Ran: "...don't talk about it, I'm afraid you will be sad."

Yu Yu took a deep breath: "I'm already very sad, okay!!! My biological boss!! Right in front of my eyes! Keeping it a secret! Such a big secret!!!"

Li Ran: "Then what should I do? You are the most beautiful, and I will listen to you."

Yu Yu: "Tell me the truth, the more I think about it these two days, the more strange it becomes. Did Duan Chenyi threaten you?"

Li Ran: "???"

Yu Yu: "Don't worry, although he is my idol, but the idol is adopted, and the boss is his own, I am willing to get rid of fans immediately for you!"

Li Ran wanted to laugh and was very touched, he stretched his waist, squeezed the center of his brows and said to Xiao Yu: "It's not that much drama, he is my junior, and we signed a company later, when we were trainees we had a good relationship, Later, when he became popular, there were fewer contacts.”

Li Ran's statement is not a lie, but the key information has been subtly mentioned, and he doesn't want to ruin the perfect idol image in the little girl's heart.

Although Yu Yu said that the idol was adopted, Li Ran often saw her holding the computer at the front desk to vote for Duan Yichen. Yu Yu had been following him since the very beginning when he was recruited, and Li Ran still had a lot of affection for her.

"Okay." Xiaoyu looked a little suspicious. At this time, just in time for the get out of class to end in the room, she handed Li Ran a piece of candy: "Didn't you have breakfast again? Eat the candy before class."

"Okay," Li Ran tore off the candy wrapper, stuffed the candy into his mouth, and made a grimace at Yu Yu.

Today Li Ran came to rehearse the last dance for the last annual meeting class. Because the progress has not kept up, he added another class for free.The aunts are very considerate, as long as they are willing to add classes for free, all the previous complaints will disappear at once, and they scramble to help Li Ran promote the studio in the circle of friends.

Maybe the enthusiasm was too much, and someone introduced him to a girlfriend.

"Little Li," the aunt in position C came up to Li Ran during the recess and asked him last time, "You are so handsome, have you got a girlfriend yet?"

Li Ran was in high spirits: "No, no time."

Aunt Zhang became interested in an instant, looked at Li Ran with an unfathomable expression, and said, "My first guess is that the dance teacher can't find a girlfriend, right?"

Li Ran: ...

Aunt Zhang: "It's cheap for you. Let me tell you, my sister's daughter is an administrator in a state-owned enterprise. The little girl is gentle, generous and beautiful—"

Li Ran squeezed the center of his eyebrows, and stopped Aunt Zhang's words in time.

"Auntie, let me tell you the truth, let me do it now, I have no house and no money, and what's more," he paused, "The family still owes the bank 20 yuan and hasn't paid it back. How can I find a partner? Isn't this hurting other girls? ?”

"Oh!" Aunt Zhang became serious, "Well, it's a little difficult."

Li Ran looked at her helplessly, and nodded to express that there was nothing he could do.

"It's so pitiful for you child!" Aunt Zhang said regretfully, "I can't help you with anything else. If you have any promotional links, please send me them, and I'll promote them in the group for you!"

Li Ran smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Auntie."

Li Ran had a total of four classes today, each of which lasted four hours in the morning and afternoon, and took advantage of the half-hour break at noon to go downstairs to the convenience store to make a rice ball.After class, I saw that Xiao Yu was posting a new official account to the studio, so I stayed with her to revise the copywriting and watch the evening teacher's class by the way.

The class in the evening class is jazz dance. The teacher's name is Qiqi. She is a lively girl with a European and American style. Her class style is very wild. She often loses her voice after a class.It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Qiqi got out of class, and when she saw Li Ran sitting outside, she came over to say hello.

"Teacher Aran is here? Is the boss working so hard to accompany me? I'm so touched!"

Li Ran handed the water to Qiqi and said, "I have to reward my excellent employees, no hard work or hard work."

After Qi Qi drank the water, she put on her jacket and started typing on her phone. Li Ran guessed that she was replying to a message, so she packed up her things and got ready to leave work.

"Hey, Teacher Aran," Qi Qi suddenly stopped Li Ran, "There is an elementary school nearby that will hold an open day next week, and there are a few training institutions that can be advertised at the entrance, do you want to think about it?"

"No," Li Ran waved his hand and refused: "The elementary school age is too young, so it's better to bring out a competition result to get more publicity.

Seeing that Li Ran wasn't very interested, Qiqi didn't insist and gave him an ok sign.

It was exactly ten o'clock when Li Ran got home. When he entered the room, Han Yicheng was sitting in the living room playing games.Li Ran saw that Han Yicheng's game sound effects were turned on very low, so he lowered his voice and asked him, "Where is Qi Xin today?"

"Yes." Han Yicheng nodded, "Qi Dongqing has no time to take her with her today, I just asked her to sleep in the room."

It might also be because he was distracted by talking, the monster that Han Yicheng had been slashing on the screen suddenly sprinted and attacked, biting "him" to death, the screen turned gray for a moment, and the game character returned to the save point.

Li Ran was embarrassed to continue to disturb him "fighting", took out the instant noodles he just bought from his bag, and dug out a small pot to cook the noodles in hot water.Although Li Ran's cooking skills are very average, he is best at cooking instant noodles to look like a full-han banquet, and pouring all the sausage, egg, spinach and sliced ​​meat into it.

The lethality of cooking instant noodles late at night was astonishing. While waiting, Li Ran saw that Han Yicheng was persistently fighting against the same monster. "He" kept rolling on the ground, parrying, being bitten to death, and then revived at the resurrection point.

After turning off the gas stove, he heard a very faint stomach growl from Han Yicheng.

Han Yicheng had indeed eaten dinner, and he was indeed hungry again because of the smell.Just as he was adjusting his sitting posture and trying to cover up the sound of his stomach after thinking about it, Li Ran raised the bowl in front of him.

"Have a bite, Old Han?" Li Ran smiled meanly at Han Yicheng, picked out a few noodles with chopsticks, and dangled them before Han Yicheng's eyes.

Just as Han Yicheng was about to speak, Li Ran took the bowl and chopsticks back to him and took a big mouthful of noodles.

Li Ran: "Do you want to have a bite?"

Han Yicheng: "...I don't want to."

Li Ran: "Don't hold on, I'll give you a taste once you pass this level."

Han Yicheng: ...

Li Ran almost laughed out loud seeing Han Yicheng's depression, "Han Yicheng, you look like Gargamel~"

Han Yicheng ignored him, turned his head and continued to fight the monsters in the game, maybe he was tempted by the delicious food, and passed the level quickly this time.The monster on the screen collapsed to the ground, and the automatic plot shook the faces of the two of them.

"What is Gargamel?"

"Ah?" Li Ran chewed the noodles and said inarticulately: "Why don't you even know this, Gargamel is—"

"Forget it," Han Yicheng changed his words suddenly, "I don't want to know."

"Oh", Li Ran shrugged, anyway, he didn't want to tell Han Yicheng what Gargamel was, so he handed the bowl and chopsticks to Han Yicheng, "Come, I reward you with a bite~"

Han Yicheng hesitantly leaned forward, approached the tip of Li Ran's chopsticks holding the noodles, and hesitantly took a small bite.Li Ran cooked the instant noodles very soft, and it was delicious to eat with the soup late at night. Han Yicheng subconsciously licked his lips after eating, and looked up at Li Ran.

Li Ran suppressed the sudden rapid heartbeat, and quickly finished the remaining noodles in the bowl, "Let me tell you," he said, "Gargamel is a character in The Smurfs, and he looks... very handsome."

"Oh", Han Yicheng looked at him for a while, then turned his head to turn off the TV and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

Li Ran was suddenly annoyed when he heard the movement in the toilet.

Perhaps it was this time that Li Ran realized that he might have had thoughts about this cold, three-eyed look. In the next few days, he consciously corrected himself and reduced this ambiguous behavior.

Frankly speaking, apart from Li's untimely hair loss, sharing the rent with Han Yicheng is a very comfortable thing.

Normally, Li Ran and Han Yicheng's routines were almost opposite, but Han Yicheng took good care of Li Ran's time consciously or unconsciously. In the morning when he was sleeping soundly, even when Han Yicheng was washing and eating breakfast, he would deliberately lower his voice.When he comes back at night, Han Yicheng is usually playing games or reading a book. If Han Yicheng goes to bed, he will keep the living room light on.

Later, when Li Ran mentioned that he always forgot to eat breakfast and had a stomachache, Han Yicheng even added several bags of bread slices to the refrigerator.

As for Qi Xin, she used to come here every now and then, but then Qi Dongqing seemed to start drinking again, so Qi Xin ran here more and more frequently.

However, Qi Xin and Han Yicheng have very similar personalities, and they usually come here just to do homework or play games, and will not disturb Li Ran at all.On the contrary, Li Ran couldn't keep his mouth shut, and couldn't bear to tease Han Yicheng, so he would drag Qi Xin to chat for nothing.

It wasn't until a Friday night that Li Ran's cozy shared life suddenly had a little surprise.

When Li Ran went home to cook noodles, he found that Qi Xin was sitting on the sofa by herself, feeling a little out of sorts, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

"What's the matter?" Li Ran came over and asked her, "Where's Han Yicheng?"

"He went to buy yogurt for me," Qi Xin finished answering, and looked at Li Ran after a while: "Teacher Ah Ran, am I... very annoying?"
