[Now] I want to hold your hand tightly

After Lin Yihan got off the plane, she took a taxi and left with a bunch of bags. Xu Haoran didn't even have a chance to talk to her.He watched Lin Yihan's car go away, and let out a long breath.Then he also took a taxi and left in the opposite direction to Lin Yihan.

After not being in Jingnan City for a week, Xu Haoran felt that the atmosphere and people in Jingnan City had changed.The driver and Xu Haoran chatted one after another, and when Xu Haoran said that he was an associate professor at Jingnan University, the driver said with admiration that Xu Haoran was young and promising.The driver asked Xu Haoran again if he was married. Xu Haoran said that there was someone in a relationship. The driver joked that Xu Haoran's girlfriend must be beautiful and connotative.If Xu Haoran's partner is really a woman, Xu Haoran will agree with the driver's words, but Zhou Jisheng is not a woman, and Zhou Jisheng has always been taking care of Xu Haoran, although he and Zhou Jisheng have not taken a substantial step, Xu Haoran is absolutely not It will be the caring side.

It took about an hour and a half from the airport in Jingnan City to the home of Xu Haoran and Zhou Jisheng. By the time Xu Haoran arrived home, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.Xu Haoran put down his body tiredly and bowed, and plunged into the sofa. The familiar smell came over his face. Xu Haoran moved his body in satisfaction to make himself sleep more comfortably.

When Zhou Jisheng opened the door, what he saw was Xu Haoran who was sleeping soundly on the sofa.Zhou Jisheng gently covered Xu Haoran's body with the cup he brought from the bedroom, and then tiptoed into the kitchen.Xu Haoran told him the time when the plane arrived in Jingnan City, and Zhou Jisheng estimated the time to buy vegetables.During the seven-day National Day holiday, Zhou Jisheng only released today, which happened to be the day when Xu Haoran came back.Xu Haoran said on the phone that Zhou Jisheng didn't need to pick him up. Originally, Xu Haoran planned to go back to Jingnan University, but before the plane took off, Xu Haoran called Zhou Jisheng and said to go home directly.Zhou Jisheng happily said that he went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and cooked for Xu Haoran himself.After the two lived together, Xu Haoran cooks more. Zhou Jisheng hardly has time to cook when he comes back from the hospital late. When he is at home on weekends, Zhou Jisheng will also show his skills. In Xu Haoran’s words, the dishes Zhou Jisheng cooks The only difference in the fragrance is the color, but the fragrance and taste are there.At that time, Zhou Jisheng put sweet and sour pork ribs in Xu Haoran's bowl with a smile, and said to Xu Haoran, "I can't be too perfect, what should I do if I'm too perfect?" Life becomes colorful.

A ray of golden sunset spread over Xu Haoran's body through the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if feeling that the day was about to disperse, Xu Haoran opened his eyes while there was still a ray of afterglow in the setting sun.He grabbed the last touch of gold, and then the soft lights in the room came on, and a smell of food came, which made Xu Haoran's stomach twitch.

"You're awake, wait a minute, there's rice field eel, bacon and cabbage soup, it'll be ready in a while." Zhou Jisheng came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, holding a dish in one hand, and saw Xu Haoran staring at him sleepily. See for yourself, Zhou Jisheng was busy getting his lover whom he hadn't seen for a long time to prepare for dinner.

Xu Haoran nodded slightly with a smile, turned over and stood up from the sofa, walked towards Zhou Jisheng, and helped Zhou Jisheng prepare vegetables.He and Zhou Jisheng don't eat much, three dishes and one soup is the standard, but today there are seven dishes on the table, plus the uncooked soup, Zhou Jisheng actually cooked eight dishes.Steamed sea bass, fried corn with pine nuts, green pepper sliced ​​meat, toon egg, stir-fried cabbage heart, dried vegetables and roasted pork, dry-stir-fried green beans, and a bowl of rice field eel, bacon and cabbage soup, all of which are delicious.Xu Haoran looked at the dishes on this table, and seeing Zhou Jisheng looking at him eagerly, Xu Haoran thought to himself that Zhou Jisheng was asking for praise.Xu Haoran picked up a choy sum with his chopsticks and ate it. After blanching the choy sum, the earthy smell was removed, and then cooked in oil, the fragrance of the green vegetables was completely locked in the heart of the choy sum. It is an authentic home-cooked dish in southern Beijing.

"You're making great progress." Xu Haoran put down his chopsticks and praised Zhou Jisheng.

Zhou Jisheng's admiration for Xu Haoran was quite useful, he took a step forward, pulled Xu Haoran into the kitchen.A pot of soup was simmering on the stove, Zhou Jisheng took a bowl and scooped a bowl of soup for Xu Haoran, and asked Xu Haoran to taste it.

The bacon hides the earthy smell of the ricefield eel, the cabbage absorbs the greasyness of the bacon, the combination of freshness and saltiness is moderate, and the meat of the eel is fresh and tender. This bowl of soup shows the chef's intentions.Xu Haoran felt that Zhou Jisheng's longing for him seemed to be integrated into this bowl of soup. Xu Haoran finished the soup in one go, and Zhou Jisheng kept yelling to be careful not to burn it. How could Xu Haoran care about the soup scalding his mouth? This bowl of soup evaporated.Xu Haoran put the empty bowl by the stove and kissed Zhou Jisheng.

"Hey, let's eat first..." Xu Haoran blocked Zhou Jisheng's last words.Zhou Jisheng found that his dominance seemed to be controlled by the opponent. Zhou Jisheng secretly thought that something was wrong, and his tongue penetrated into Xu Haoran's mouth. Xu Haoran didn't notice it for a while, and his defense almost collapsed.An unexpected sound came into the ears of the two who were kissing passionately. The expression of the person pressed against the wall by Zhou Jisheng suddenly changed. Zhou Jisheng was also taken aback, letting himself move away from Xu Haoran, and the two looked at each other in embarrassment. They glanced at each other, and then laughed in unison.

"Let's eat, continue after eating." Zhou Jisheng went to get the tableware from the cupboard.

Xu Haoran filled a large bowl of soup, and then Zhou Jisheng took another bottle of red wine from the kitchen, found two empty glasses from nowhere, poured two glasses of red wine, one for Xu Haoran, and one for himself hand.

When Xu Haoran sat down, Zhou Jisheng held up a wine glass and toasted Xu Haoran: "Welcome home."

Xu Haoran tilted his head and nodded, the wine glasses collided, and the two took a sip of red wine each.

"Eat vegetables, eat more, I haven't cooked much by myself when you're not at home." Zhou Jisheng accidentally exposed himself, and after Xu Haoran rolled his eyes helplessly, Zhou Jisheng hurriedly bowed his head to admit his mistake, "In the hospital cafeteria food."

"You tell me to eat every day, and you don't take care of yourself?" Xu Haoran put a piece of fish maw in Zhou Jisheng's bowl. When he first met Zhou Jisheng, he found that Zhou Jisheng was thinner than before he went to Singapore. When someone cooks for him at home, he just eats it.

"Are you free recently?" Zhou Jisheng smiled and nodded to Xu Haoran. He listened to Xu Haoran's opinions, and now he wants Xu Haoran to listen to him.

Seeing that Zhou Jisheng changed the subject, Xu Haoran asked, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you have a stomachache last month? I was planning to have a checkup for you on National Day, but you went to Singapore. If you're okay, come to the hospital. I'll check you up." Zhou Jisheng always remembered Xu Haoran last month The way he looks when his stomach hurts, don't mention how scary that look is.In the past, when Xu Haoran had a stomachache, it would be better if he drank some stomach medicine. At that time, Xu Haoran's face was pale. Based on Xu Haoran's reaction, Zhou Jisheng thought that Zhou Jisheng might have a stomach ulcer. Singapore.Now finally when Xu Haoran came back, Zhou Jisheng decided to show Xu Haoran a good look, even if he was not sick, he would take precautions earlier.

Xu Haoran shook his head: "Teacher Nie asked me to go back to school early tomorrow morning to report on the seminar. I heard that something happened in the School of Arts these days. The teacher said that everyone is very busy, so I may not be free recently."

"For the position of dean of literature, a group of people are fighting for power and profit. They say that he is a teacher and educates people. He has an ugly face!" Zhou Jisheng was used to seeing power and profit in Jingnan University since he was a child.Back then when Zhou Bo had not yet become the dean of the medical school, some people would find Zhou Bo’s home to send them there from time to time. Zhou Bo’s latest research shows that he has no interest in these complicated personnel relationships. In the end, it was Zhou’s mother who came forward to send people away. Play away.Zhou Jisheng remembered that one day when he came home from school, a man who looked like a professor was wandering around their community. Zhou Jisheng pushed his bicycle into the community without paying attention, but the man suddenly stopped Zhou Jisheng and stuffed a paper bag into it without saying a word. Arriving in Zhou Jisheng's arms, he told Zhou Jisheng that it was for Professor Zhou Bo. Zhou Jisheng was surprised and wanted to ask a few more questions, but the man ran away.Zhou Jisheng flipped through the paper bag and didn't think much of it when he saw that it was a few medical books.When he gave those books to Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo, who seldom loses his temper, suddenly flew into a rage, slapped Zhou Jisheng, and pointed at Zhou Jisheng's nose with one hand, Zhou Bo was trembling with anger.Fortunately, Zhou's mother rushed over to persuade Zhou Bo, and asked what happened. Zhou Bo took out the three books with a half-smile, shook them a few times, and dropped a check on the coffee table.Zhou Jisheng covered his mouth, finally knowing why his father beat him.Zhou Bo later found that person and returned the check to him. Zhou Jisheng later heard from Zhou Bo that the person thought of using money to buy Zhou Bo's recommendation because he was promoted to a professor. Although Zhou Bo didn't often show up in the medical school, he The published papers are always well received, and the dean of the medical school values ​​Zhou Bo very much, so some people will try their best to curry favor with Zhou Bo.Although Jingnan University is a century-old prestigious school, these ethos have already begun to spread.Not only the School of Medicine, but also the School of Arts, the School of Law, etc. are all such ethos. It is no wonder that Zhao Geyi would say sadly that the School of Arts has no successors.Indeed, if Nie Mi and his like are allowed to sit on the post of dean of the Faculty of Arts, I am afraid that the upright style will no longer be there, and there will be no more teachers and educators.

Although Xu Haoran also felt that the atmosphere in the academy was not as good as before, he felt that Zhou Jisheng's words were too much.Xu Haoran's face darkened a little recently, and he said to Zhou Jisheng: "Why do you have to rise to such a height? If Jingnan University is really like what you said, its status may still be ranked in the top ten." Is it?"

Zhou Jisheng also realized that what he had said was too much, he hurriedly apologized to Xu Haoran, Xu Haoran expressed that he did not want to continue this topic to make the atmosphere stiff, Zhou Jisheng hurriedly changed the subject and chatted briefly with Xu Haoran about how Xu Haoran was doing in Singapore, Xu Haoran told Zhou Jisheng everything, except for the deal between him and Lin Yihan.
