Crime Fighter League

Chu Yan and Zheng Shuo sat on the large fabric sofa in the living room, each occupying one side, leaving two seats in the middle.

Zheng Shuo leaned against the back of the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, looking at Chu Yan from the corner of his eyes.Chu Yan supported his knees with his elbows, holding the bottle of warm milk with both hands, lowered his eyebrows, and closed his eyes heavily several times.

After tossing tonight, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. His body seems to be protesting with him. Every muscle is sore and sore. At this moment, he just wants to sleep well.

The clock in the living room was ticking, and the mechanical sound repeated itself, like hypnotic music stimulating each other's nerves.Zheng Shuo also pinched his eyebrows wearily: "Are you hungry? I'll cook dumplings for you."

Chu Yan was drowsy at first, but after hearing this, he woke up again. He looked sleepily at Zheng Shuo, and his slender peach eyes lost their previous expression, and instead became more fragile and obedient.Seeing this, Zheng Shuo felt an inexplicable soreness in his heart, but he still went to the refrigerator and took out a bag of dumplings, and took two eggs from the upper shelf, then turned and looked at Chu Yan: " Can cabbage and pork be stuffed? Do you eat eggs?"

Chu Yan's lips parted, and he shook his head after a long time: "Yes."

"Let's rest first. If you feel really tired, go to my bed and lie down. I'll call you when the cooking is done." Zheng Shuo casually pointed to the master bedroom, and then went into the kitchen to get busy.Chu Yan glanced at his back suspiciously, not knowing where he was going all the time?

Don't you want to ask what happened tonight?Why don't you say anything and study food first?

But Zheng Shuo let him breathe a sigh of relief, just now he was still worrying about what to say, after all, he was so tired right now that he couldn't turn his mind.

He put the milk on the coffee table, tilted his head and poured it into the sofa.The soft back of the chair wrapped him up, and he yawned comfortably, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.The drowsy drowsiness swept over again, and he barely opened his eyelids to look at this strange home.The decoration is in a cool Nordic style, even the furniture is all white and gray, and there are no extra decorations. It can be seen that the owner of this house has no habit of taking care of the house.

In fact, Zheng Shuo's mother bought many ornaments, but Zheng Shuo returned them one by one.He likes simplicity and doesn't like these messy things at home.But his second bedroom full of sundries and the locked study room are always messy all the year round, and even his mother can't move it casually after tidying it up.

Chu Yan and Duke Zhou confronted each other, listening to Zheng Shuo's busy voice in the kitchen, and the faint smell of food coming from the tip of his nose. This strange and peaceful feeling reminded him of his childhood.At that time, his home was also decorated in this style. At that time, there were parents in the house every day. At that time, his favorite thing to do was to lie on the sofa and play game consoles, and then he was urged by his father to do homework quickly.My mother would always laugh and play sloppy with my father, so that he could have more time to relax.

Zheng Shuo had just fried the sun eggs, and was about to come out and ask Chu Yan if he wanted soy sauce or black pepper sauce, when he found Chu Yan fell asleep on the sofa.The wet hair was not wiped dry, soaking the sofa cushions.He frowned, sleeping like this would easily catch a cold and cause a headache.But seeing how Chu Yan fell into a deep sleep in just a few minutes, he couldn't bear to wake him up.

After thinking about it, he still sat down, carefully raised Chu Yan's head and placed it on his lap, picked up the paper towel on the coffee table and began to absorb water along his hair.

There was a slight humming from the range hood in the kitchen, and the boiling water in the pot kept simmering, but there were some thawed dumplings beside it, but they didn't have time to go into the pot.Zheng Shuo lowered his head and pressed evenly with his fingertips. After a while, a small pile of used tissues piled up on the coffee table.

Chu Yan seemed to be dreaming. Even though Zheng Shuo's movements were very light, he still moved a little unsteadily, and babbled for unknown reasons.Zheng Shuo listened intently for a while, then suddenly lowered his eyebrows, and the movements of his hands became as difficult as weighing a thousand catties.

Chu Yan was really dreaming. He dreamed that he was lying on his mother's lap, and his mother used a cotton swab to clean his ears.That feeling was really comfortable, and he hadn't experienced it for a long time, so he lazily let out a sigh, and called "Mom" coquettishly.

Zheng Shuo looked at Chu Yan's smiling face in his sleep, and the innocence and tranquility in the corners of his eyes and brows was something he had never seen before.This kind of Chu Yan was too strange, as if he had torn off a heavy disguise and finally saw the child hidden in the deepest place.The strange soreness hit his chest again, and Zheng Shuo's breathing became a little heavy. He put his fingertips on the center of Chu Yan's eyebrows, and massaged with a little force. After a while, Chu Yan let out a sigh of relief. A sigh.

Zheng Shuo looked at the person on his lap in a daze, and suddenly felt that although such a Chu Yan was unfamiliar, he couldn't look away.Maybe the reason why Chu Yan was so extreme and persistent, he wanted to investigate regardless of what happened, maybe there was really something hidden in the case that year.

Zheng Shuo looked at the slightly raised corners of Chu Yan's mouth. He usually likes to have a half-hearted smile, and those beautiful eyes are mostly used for calculations.Maybe he didn't really want to do those dangerous things, maybe he just found something and couldn't get over that hurdle.

Zheng Shuo closed his eyes, and remembered what Liu Ju said to him that day; "Lin Yan kept asking me if he did something wrong. I was young at the time, and I only wanted to solve the case and bring these drug dealers to justice. To prevent them from going out and harming people again. I really didn’t think carefully about why Lin Yan kept asking me this question, he asked it many times, almost every time he saw me.”

"Zheng Shuo." Liu Ju looked at him meaningfully, and his voice seemed to come from the vicissitudes of life: "The reason why Lin Yan reported his father's drug trafficking was because his mother found too much 'evidence'. She was very painful. I didn’t know what to do, so I bewitched my son, who had a strong sense of justice at that age, to expose the incident.”

"Why did she let her son do it? And according to the logic of ordinary people, wouldn't she try her best to help her husband hide it?" Zheng Shuo asked in confusion.

Director Liu sighed: "That's because she has been abused by her husband for a long time, but her son never knew about it."

The movement of Chu Yan turning over brought back Zheng Shuo's thoughts. He looked down and met a pair of amber eyes.

Chu Yan: "..."

Zheng Shuo: "..."

Zheng Shuo didn't expect that Chu Yan would wake up suddenly, so no one was prepared for this. You stared at me and I looked at you in this posture of lying on your thighs. No one opened the mouth to break the silence for a long time.

"Are the dumplings ready?" In the end, Chu Yan spoke first. He sat up on the sofa as if nothing had happened, but he caught a glimpse of a pile of wet tissues on the coffee table.He looked at Zheng Shuo with some doubts, and it turned out that Zheng Shuo happened to be holding a wet tissue in his hand.

"You are?" he asked puzzled.Zheng Shuo was stunned for a few seconds, then hurriedly crumpled up the paper towel and threw it into the trash can next to him, stood up and walked to the kitchen: "It's almost ready, wait a minute."

His back was a little hasty, and he spoke in a hurry. Chu Yan didn't understand what he was doing, and rubbed the back of his head in doubt, only to realize that his hair, which was still dripping just now, had dried a lot.He looked at the trash can, so he was lying on Zheng Shuo's lap just now, because Zheng Shuo helped him wipe his hair with a tissue?

Chu Yan looked at Zheng Shuo's busy back in the kitchen, pinching the slightly dry ends of his hair with his fingertips, and there was some unclear meaning in his clear pupils.He looked up at this strange home again, and he still remembered the dream just now. He was lying on his mother's lap, and her mother picked out his ears.The home at that time was exactly the same as the one in front of him, not the home he remembered when he was young.

He raised the corners of his mouth, and a bright smile spread from his lips.The aroma of cooked dumplings came from the kitchen, and it easily penetrated into the stomach, hooking the gluttonous insects out.He tidied up his sleepy hair with some self-deprecation. He really never thought that he, who has never eaten dumplings, would agree to it one day. He was still eating the most ordinary dumplings at someone else's house.

Sitting at the dining table, Chu Yan looked at the chubby and plump dumplings in the bowl, and looked at Zheng Shuo with some surprise: "You can actually cook?"

"No, I can only cook dumplings and noodles." Zheng Shuo said without raising his head.He was really hungry, and he ate mouthful after mouthful. The appearance of gobbling it up aroused Chu Yan's appetite.Chu Yan scooped up one with a spoon, put it near his mouth and took a small bite.

Zheng Shuo just raised his head to pinch the sun egg. Seeing his action, he felt as if his tail was stepped on: "What are you doing? I didn't take any medicine."

"No, you misunderstood." Chu Yan hurriedly put down the spoon, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, trying to explain but couldn't make it clear.Zheng Shuo glanced at him, picked up a sun egg and put it on his plate: "My fried eggs are delicious, try it."

He didn't lower his head to eat the dumplings, but looked at Chu Yan in this posture. Chu Yan was a little embarrassed by him, so he had to pick up the egg dipped in black pepper sauce and put it in his mouth.But as soon as he took a bite, he looked at Zheng Shuo in surprise: "It's really delicious."

"Of course, I learned this technique from a chef. You think everyone is lucky enough to eat it." Zheng Shuo raised his nose to the sky and hummed proudly.Chu Yan saw him like this, so he picked up the dumpling just now, and after thinking about it, he still put it in his mouth.

He chewed carefully, with a strange expression on his face.

"If you don't think it tastes good, don't eat it. I'll cook the noodles for you." Zheng Shuo felt uncomfortable seeing his heroic appearance, so he stood up and wanted to open the refrigerator again, but Chu Yan stopped him His hand: "No, I just haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, I'm just not used to it."

"You don't like it?" Zheng Shuo sat down again, Chu Yan swallowed the dumplings, and forced a smile: "No. I used to eat them when I was young, but later I stopped eating them alone."

"Sorry, I don't know..." Zheng Shuo immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly apologized.However, Chu Yan stuffed another one into his mouth, his clear eyes were faintly glinting, and the smile on his lips became more obvious: "Actually, the dumplings are quite delicious, but you need someone else to cook them for you." It makes sense, so I basically don’t eat it.”

"In the future, if you want to eat, you can find me, and I will cook for you." Zheng Shuo didn't know what happened, but he blurted out along with his words.As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yan was stunned, and stared at him with watery eyes, as if he was trying to distinguish whether what he just said was true or a joke.

"Actually, I basically eat alone. You can tell by looking at this house, and I usually come back to sleep when I'm tired. Most of my meals are takeaway." Zheng Shuo took another piece of sun egg to him On the plate, Chu Yan didn't move, but maintained the posture just now: "I thought you would usually eat with Police Officer Lin."

"Lin Xun? You're overthinking it. Although he and I are in the same bureau, the system is different. We don't even see each other when we're busy, let alone have dinner together."

Chu Yan: "Then this time?"

Zheng Shuo: "Jointly handle the case."

"Then you have to seize this hard-won opportunity, lest you cross this village and it will be useless." Chu Yan continued to eat dumplings with his head down, his voice came out from his throat, mixed with a little indistinctness.

Zheng Shuo: "Why do you always try to match him and me?"

Chu Yan was startled, and raised his head to meet Zheng Shuo's half-smile face.He quickly swallowed the dumplings: "I didn't mean that, haven't you liked him for a long time? If you like him, you have to chase after him, otherwise it would be a pity to miss it."

"He is going to get married." Zheng Shuo said lightly, leaning on the back of the chair and wanting to smoke, but as soon as he took out the cigarette, he remembered that Chu Yan's health was not fully recovered, so he put the cigarette back again.

"It's okay, you can smoke." Chu Yan understood his concerns: "Then you don't plan to get married?"

"Women are too troublesome. We have a job like this day and night, and it's too dangerous to stay on the front line all year round. Let's forget it. It's the end of the divorce." Zheng Shuo leaned on the back of the chair with his hands folded and relaxed. shoulders, and there is no movement of holding a cigarette.

"Maybe there are people who don't mind your work?" Chu Yan seemed to be involved with this question, and he must break the casserole and ask it to the end.Zheng Shuo looked at him amusedly: "Then introduce me to someone like this. If she argues and divorces me, I'll settle the score with you."

"I just said that there are such people, but I didn't say that they must be women." He muttered and continued to eat dumplings with his head down.Zheng Shuo didn't react at first, and after a pause for a few seconds, he suddenly felt that what he said didn't sound right?

"Don't you want to say that a man has taken a fancy to me?" Zheng Shuo looked at Chu Yan with a sudden realization, and there was no excited expression on his face, but a little anxious.Chu Yan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and decided to continue eating dumplings with his head down.

"Who? Tell me, what does it look like?" Zheng Shuo seemed to have found something interesting, and stretched out his fingers to tap on the table.Chu Yan didn't even bother to lift his eyelids: "You only care about appearance?"

"Who said that, but the appearance can't be too bad. Look at me. No matter how you go out, you look like an ideal son-in-law, except that your job is not very popular. If you find me someone who looks like Wu Dalang, I will Even if you bring it home to convince your parents, you still don’t have enough confidence, right?”

In fact, Zheng Shuo had never thought about other men other than Lin Xun, but now he played this joke with Chu Yan with great interest.In fact, it's not that he hasn't thought about lifelong events, but as I said before, finding a woman will lead to divorce sooner or later, and it will be easy to handle without children. If you have children, wouldn't it ruin the lives of three generations?

He didn't want to make do with it, and he didn't want to play games, so he would rather procrastinate, deceiving himself and others.

"What if that person looks like me?" Chu Yan finished eating the last dumpling, finally wiped his mouth clean and raised his head.His voice was without any emotion, as flat as saying "I'm full", but his words exploded like a landmine between the two of them. Not far north.

"What...mean?" Dui Zheng, who was not very strong, stared at the calm Er Shao with a dumbfounded look on his face.Chu Ershao also leaned on the back of the chair, gracefully raised Erlang's legs: "It means literally, what if that person looks like me? Would you like it?"
