They're said to be fucking gay in all seriousness.

In recent years, the relationship between Shen Qiucheng and Yuan Lan has also eased a bit, although most of the time Shen Qiucheng is neither hot nor salty towards Yuan Lan.

Yuan Lan still lives in the house that Yan Quan bought in the "Emerald Court" in the city center back then, and Shen Qiucheng and Yan Quan went to the capital not long after, so the mother and son did not see each other very often.

Du Zeyang has graduated from university for two years. Shen Qiucheng didn't let him enter the abyss, let alone let him go to Yan Quan's side. He hoped that Du Zeyang could have his own sky instead of being attached to any of them.

Shen Qiucheng drove to pick up Yuan Lan and Du Zeyang, and brought back Shen Bengbeng by the way—after they went to the capital, Bengbeng was handed over to Yuan Lan to raise them.Yuan Lan knew that this was Shen Chenfeng's dog, and Shen Qiucheng also raised it later. After being in the hands of her two sons, she would naturally serve it with all her heart. Now Shen Bengbeng is even better than when she was in the hands of Shen Qiucheng and Yan Quan. More radiant.

As soon as they entered the house, Shen Bengbeng had fun and jumped directly on the sofa to jump around.

When Shen Qiucheng walked through the living room, he touched Shen's bouncing, furry head, and then approached the kitchen.

The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded every brick and every tile in the kitchen. The oven and pressure cooker were working hard. Yan Quan was standing in front of the stove in a denim-colored apron, and he didn’t know what he was concentrating on cooking. The sun is beating on his hair, on the back of his hand holding the spoon, and on a rose that blooms proudly by the stove.

Shen Qiucheng took a step forward.

There is only one step.

Because Yan Quan had already discovered him.

The other party showed him a huge smile, then turned off the fire, and filled the soup pot quickly, filling a small bowl in two or three strokes.

Then Yan Quan ran in front of him from the kitchen, still holding the bowl in his hand, eager to try but cautiously said: "Qiu Cheng, try this." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Quan took a spoonful and gently Blowing on the hot air lightly, he handed the spoon to his lips.

Shen Qiucheng looked at Yan Quan, and opened his mouth slightly - the delicious and fragrant taste immediately diffused between his lips and teeth.

Yan Quan pursed his lower lip and asked tentatively, "How is it?"

Shen Qiucheng nodded with a light smile.

Forget about using a spoon, Yan Quan quickly picked up the small bowl and poured a sip into his mouth. After tasting a few times, he jumped up for joy, "Oh yeah! It's a success! My love mushroom soup is perfect for the first time! Qiu Cheng , can I get you another bowl? You should drink more, the mushroom soup is very nourishing for your body."

Shen Qiucheng held back Yan Quan who turned back to go to the kitchen, "It won't break, it's the same if you drink it later, Mom is outside."

Yan Quan raised his eyebrows immediately, "Then I'll go and have a look." After speaking, he stuffed the empty bowl into Shen Qiucheng's hands, took off his apron, and casually put it on the back of the chair.

After Yan Quan left, Shen Qiucheng picked up the apron and the empty bowl and put them in the kitchen.

He looked around—there was French roast chicken in the oven, the pressure cooker smelled like tomato brisket, there were some chopped ingredients on the cutting board, and the soup pot...

He mixed it with a spoon, and there were many kinds of fungi such as tea tree mushroom, Coprinus comatus, Pteris cerevisiae, slide mushroom, etc., as well as some wolfberries and carrots, and even some shredded beef tendon.

It seems that a lot of effort has been put into it—Shen Qiucheng scooped up the mushroom soup and tasted it carefully, sighed lightly, and then smiled softly.

Even he might not be better than this taste.

So, everything in this world, as long as you work hard, there will be results - even Yan Quan can cook delicious food.

In the final analysis, all of Yan Quan's changes were because of him.

Shen Qiucheng is not stupid at all.

A sumptuous dinner with Chinese and Western combinations was all prepared by Yan Quan, and Shen Qiucheng didn't even help him with it.

This is the first time for Yuan Lan to try Yan Quan's cooking skills, and she was stunned by what she ate. In my memory, Yan Quan had to be cooked by Shen Qiucheng even if he wanted to eat meat buns. He couldn't even make buns. Men are now chefs...

Even Du Zeyang has only one thought, that is: My brother is amazing =. =

During the meal, Du Zeyang and Yan Quan were basically talking, and most of them were about work, Shen Qiucheng occasionally interjected a few words.

After dinner, Yuan Lan helped Shen Qiucheng clean up the table, Du Zeyang sat on the sofa and watched TV idly, while Yan Quan squatted behind the sofa and played with Shen Qiucheng, wagging his tail.

Shen Qiucheng walked over and immediately hugged Shen Bengbeng, Yan Quan raised his eyes to look at him.

Shen Qiucheng tugged at Yan Quan, "I've just had enough to eat, and I'm going to drag it around after a while, so you can take it out for a walk."

Yan Quan looked straight at Shen Qiucheng without expressing anything.

"Zeyang." Before Du Zeyang could answer, Shen Qiucheng continued, "Go with Brother Yan, Biaobeng is very familiar with this place, but it's been a long time since I came here, I'm afraid it's having too much fun You, Brother Yan, can't catch it alone."

Du Zeyang looked at Shen Qiucheng, then at Yan Quan, and said "OK".

Yan Quan still stared at Shen Qiucheng intently.

Shen Qiucheng gently pushed him, "Go, take Bengbeng to play for a while."

Yan Quan took two steps and turned his head, and finally reluctantly left with Du Zeyang and led Shen Bengbeng out.

Yuan Lan was still sitting at the dining table, where she had been eating before.

After watching them go out, Shen Qiucheng walked back, pulled out the chair, and sat face to face with Yuan Lan.

Shen Qiucheng lit a cigarette and took two puffs - he put his hands on the edge of the table, and the hand without the cigarette kept repeating the action of playing with the lighter.

Yuan Lan just looked at Shen Qiucheng quietly.

A few minutes passed in relative silence.

Yuan Lan spoke first: "You sent them all away, what happened?"

Shen Qiucheng's gaze slowly shifted from the cigarette butt at his fingertips to Yuan Lan's face—Yuan Lan was startled when he saw Shen Qiucheng's eyes—the next second he looked away, "I want to talk to you Tell me something about your brother."

Yuan Lan's body felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his whole body was shocked.

"I think, no matter how much elder brother hated you before, how much I hated you—" Shen Qiucheng flicked the cigarette ash, "but you are indeed the person in this world who should know the truth the most."

Yuan Lan was full of searching eyes.

"...I know the truth, the last truth about big brother..." Shen Qiucheng's tone was calm without the slightest ups and downs, as if he was telling some unimportant things, "It was indeed an accident, yes, did he really kill him?" Wrong, it is indeed not what it seems on the surface...the murderer is a woman."

Yuan Lan's eyes widened, her voice was trembling, "It's her...it really is her..."

Shen Qiucheng shrugged, "You guessed it."

Tears filled Yuan Lan's eyes in an instant, "I guessed it a long time ago, it was her...so I asked you if you have heard of her name at the earliest...she is too powerful and scary, I knew Chen Feng Sooner or later, she will die at her hands..."

Shen Qiucheng frowned, "Didn't you say you didn't know about my elder brother and her? Didn't you say that my elder brother never told you?"

"Of course Chenfeng won't tell me about him, but how could I not know..." Yuan Lan covered her face, tears streaming down her face, "She told me countless times—she wants to take revenge on me, she It will make me suffer for the rest of my life. She has shown off to me countless times, saying that my son fell in love with her, and said something sweet to her... It's terrible——Qiu Cheng, don't you think that a divorced man who is older than your elder brother Is it a terrible thing for a woman who is 20 years older to make your elder brother fall in love with him, and even pester her for years?"

Shen Qiucheng didn't answer, but said: "My elder brother is a person who can hide his emotions very much. I don't know if it was because I was young at that time. Anyway, I didn't notice it at all."

"I don't know whether she really liked Chen Feng or just wanted to take revenge on me—" Yuan Lan wiped away tears, "How many forbidden loves did this woman experience in the first half of her life? Between her and me The childhood sweethearts are in pairs, the teacher-student taboos between her and Mr. Peng, and the teacher-student taboos between her and Chen Feng... The most amazing thing is that she has gone through so much and finally remarried to Secretary Yan—Xiaoquan What kind of wealth is her mother's family? How can she have the power to fight? But she did it, she succeeded, she is really terrible. So a few years ago, I heard Xiaoquan said that she was sick. I believe that there are two words 'retribution' in this world."

"So since there is retribution in this world, there is also karmic reincarnation." Shen Qiucheng said lightly, "Didn't you realize that it was because she was sick that this became a headless death case, and the law has no way to sanction one A madman in a fit."

Yuan Lan was stunned for a moment, and after a long time murmured: "Then what should I do..."

Shen Qiucheng replied truthfully: "There is no way."

Yuan Lan suddenly realized a very important question: "Then Xiaoquan..."

"Mom." Shen Qiucheng said softly, "The best qualities I have had since I was a child are self-discipline and sobriety—I have been soberly watching what I do, and my goals are also very clear. What is what I want and what is not what I want - the only few times in my life when I get dizzy and lose my judgment is because of him. I can torture him so that he can't live or die, but what's the point of that ? Am I comfortable seeing him in pain? No. What’s more, he didn’t take the initiative to do these things—if my elder brother sees all this, he will definitely understand and support me.”

Yuan Lan held it in for a long time but still couldn't hold it back, weeping bitterly, still muttering: "Chen Feng...my Chen Feng..."

"Woof—" the dog barked suddenly.

Shen Qiucheng turned around——

Shen Bengbeng jumped from Yan Quan's arms to the ground, and ran away happily wagging his tail.

Yan Quan pursed his lips and stood there blankly.

not moving at all.

There were a few imperceptible flashes of water in his eyes.

In a flash.
