critical

Waking up the next day, Yan Ji sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, then tiptoed to the kitchen.She opened the refrigerator and found that in addition to various drinks, there were only frozen foods that could be stored for more than three months.

Yan Ji cooked a pot of porridge, took out bacon and ham, and got busy with a combination of Chinese and Western breakfast. When he looked up by chance, he caught a glimpse of Yan Guangguang sitting on the wooden steps.

She was wearing a silk nightgown, the skirt covered her knees, revealing her smooth calves. The morning light softened her outline, like an angel descending into the world.

Yan Ji looked down at the bacon in the pot curled up under the heat, and didn't wait for the movement from Yan Deng's side, so he mulled over and over again to find an opening word: "Are you awake?"

"Ah."

Yan Ji put the fried bacon on a plate: "The porridge will be ready in a while, you go and brush your teeth."

Yan Deng propped his chin on his palm, admiring the scene of the kitchen: Yan Ji was wearing a small whale apron, without a ponytail, his hair was tied with a leather ring and hung behind him, dangling as he walked, and the air was filled with fried bacon and The smoky, salty aroma of sliced ​​ham.

The dinner plate was placed on the dining table in Nakajima, Yan Ji turned on the rice cooker, and the mild aroma of rice filled the air instantly, which was more enticing to the stomach than the strong aroma of meat.

Yan Deng sniffed: "It's really virtuous."

Yan Ji bent down and took out the bowls and chopsticks without turning his head: "Just think you are praising me, hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth."

Yan Deng walked into the bathroom, Yan Ji heard the sound of closing the door, immediately put down the spoon, raised his hands and gave himself a thumbs up.

After breakfast, Yan Deng said that he wanted to buy magnets.

Yan Ji said: "Then you can buy some vegetables and fruits, you can't just eat quick-frozen food."

Yan Deng went upstairs to change his clothes, and turned his head halfway: "Aren't you going?"

Yan Ji didn't think much about it: "Then I'll go to the supermarket with you. Just go to Suguo, which is across from your community. I can carry it for you if you have a lot of things."

Yan Deng stood on the stairs, looking down at Yan Ji: "Otherwise?"

Sensing the dangerous atmosphere, Yan Ji said with a strong desire to survive: "You can go to the boutique supermarket if you want... I, I will carry it for you too."

Yan Deng put his hand on the handrail of the stairs, and impatiently raised his index finger to tap on the wooden handrail.She doesn't want to become a dragon, or someone she hates, she needs to give herself a reason to "imprison" Yan Ji.

"Diver must have investigated you. It's not safe for you to live at home. Live here first."

Since last night, Yan Ji has been thinking about not being able to stay for no apparent reason, and now it sounds like this reason is good.

"Will it be too much trouble for you?"

Yan Deng doesn't dislike Yan Ji's courtesies, unless the courtesies are for himself: "No trouble, you have taken me in before. The rent is ten yuan, three meals are provided, you cook."

"Oh." Yan Ji pressed the corner of his lips, "Alright, then I will trouble you for the time being."

The two looked at each other and turned to change their clothes.

It was still early, and the shopping mall opposite was not open.Yan Ji had been staying in the hospital during this time, and there were a lot of clothes left there, so the two drove to the hospital first to pack things.

After going through the discharge procedures and returning to the parking lot with the packed sundries, Yan Ji opened the rear door: "Hey, I forgot about this."

Yan Deng turned his head to look, and there was a scythe on the ground in the back seat, which was brought out by Yan Ji when he escaped from the Diver villa.

Yan Ji put the bag on the back seat: "This is also a proof, do you want to go to the Public Security Bureau?"

Yan Deng got into the co-pilot: "It's up to you."

Yan Ji thought for a while: "Forget it, wait for the director to call, I guess she still has to find me, it's impossible to just record a statement and finish the matter. Maybe I'm too busy recently and haven't talked to me yet."

The two discussed the matter about Deaver, and they couldn't think of any other reason except cult and mental illness.But neither cult nor mental illness seemed to be able to fully explain his behavior.

When they arrived at the supermarket, looking at the dazzling array of shelves, the topic of the two of them naturally changed to what else they needed to buy at home.Yan Ji picked and picked while recalling, and Yan Deng put the ones that were pleasing to the eye and put them in the cart.

Yan Ji picked up the potato chip set that Yan Deng put in, pointed to the potato chip keychain inside and asked, "Do you like this?"

When Yan Deng took it, he didn't pay attention to the yellow plastic keychain at all, and gave her a blank expression.

Yan Ji immediately put the potato chip set back, picked up three single packs of different flavors of potato chips, and said angrily: "Buy 8.9 for a pack, three packs are only 26.7, this gift pack sells for 29.9, and there is a special price, liar."

Yan Deng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, "Little stingy."

Yan Ji said righteously: "How can this be called knocking the door? This is to expose the cunning trap of the capitalists."

The two wandered around pushing the cart, passing by the toy section, Yan Ji happily picked up a simulated kitchen set from the bottom shelf, pointed to the animation characters on it and said happily: "The Legend of Red Rabbit and Blue Cat , I dreamed that we watched this cartoon together, and I told you this story in my dream, dancing and dancing, very silly."

Yan Deng whispered thoughtfully, "I've said it too."

Yan Ji didn't hear clearly, she took the toy box and looked at it again and again, until a child dragged her grandparents over, she was embarrassed to put it down quickly, maintaining the dignity of an adult and leaving quickly.

I asked the tally clerk where the magnets were, and the two walked to the stationery area. Yan Deng took several types of magnets, and bought paper and pens.Yan Ji picked out a special book from the bookshelf at the side, which talked about the basic knowledge of cooking and home cooking.

Yan Deng walked over and took a look: "There are really few books here."

Yan Ji smiled: "Who buys books in the supermarket. The customer group is destined to be children's books and the elderly's health care." Seeing Yan Deng looking down at his hand, Yan Ji quickly added: "There are some life reference books, you What do you want to watch? By the way, I have a Kindle at home."

"kindle?"

"It's just an e-book, I'll teach you when I go back, no, I haven't used it either..."

While chatting, the two turned to the fresh food area. During Yan Ji's popularization of the strange foods that have emerged in recent years, the two packed a bunch of vegetables and fruits.Yan Deng took out a bag of Wangwang crushed ice from the freezer, and Yan Ji carried another bucket of milk on the way to check out.

Coming out of the supermarket, Yan Ji looked at the time: "It's almost noon, shall we go back to cook or go back after eating?"

Yan Deng is still not used to being in the crowd: "Go back."

Yan Ji nodded.

In the end, I still couldn’t go back to eat. On the way, two little girls were eating cones. When I turned the corner, I saw KFC, which is the standard around the supermarket.

KFC has a new product, and there are people queuing outside the dessert stand.Yan Ji just glanced at it casually, and suddenly felt blessed: "I know!"

Yan Deng followed and looked over: "Well, the second one is half price."

Yan Ji smiled and said, "Sundae, right?"

Yan Deng raised his eyebrows pretending to be puzzled, and the small mole at the end of his eyes moved slightly, coupled with his delicate and noble temperament, he had a kind of cold charm.

Not to be outdone, Yan Ji leaned into her ear: "Boss Yan, I'll treat you to KFC."

Said he was going to eat KFC, Yan Ji only brought over a sundae,

"President Yan, the sundae is about to melt." Yan Ji picked up the spoon and handed it over, looking at Yan Deng with a smile, "In the Motor City, this is the first time I treat you to KFC, and the first thing you taste is the sundae. "

Yan Deng picked up a small plastic spoon, took a sip and handed it to Yan Ji's mouth: "French fries are not acceptable, is ice cream okay?"

Yan Ji lowered his head and licked the spoon clean with his tongue: "Forgive you."

"85912!"

Hearing the shout, Yan Ji hurriedly stood up: "Hey."

Yan Deng raised the corner of his mouth: "Forgive you."

Even after eating KFC twice, both of them lost interest, and Yan Ji couldn't bear to waste it, so they packed everything and took them home, so they each carried three large bags.

Put the milk in the freezer, throw the crushed ice into the freezer, and keep the fruits and vegetables fresh at zero degrees Celsius. After Yan Ji finished his work, he noticed that Yan Deng had been following behind him. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you following me? Supervisor?"

Yan Deng took out a piece of tissue paper.

After washing his hands, Yan Ji took the tissue paper: "My treatment is too high. Your magnet attracted me and I put it on the table for you."

Yan Deng saw it just now, picked it up and looked at it: "Which one looks better?"

Yan Ji didn't expect her to care about this, so he poked his head over and studied together: "This? This is not bad, it's all pretty good, what do you want to smoke? Let's see the effect."

Yan Deng took out a small pencil drawing, walked to the blackboard wall, and tried to attract one magnet after another.

Yan Ji followed behind her, and saw a pencil drawing of a thin European boy with disheveled yellow hair, splayed eyebrows, drooping eyes, and a nervous face.The boy's mouth was tightly closed, the corners of his mouth were raised upwards, and his smile was shy, very childlike.

Yan Deng tried uncharacteristically, and finally chose two magnets, a small white sailboat, and an owl wearing round glasses, and fixed the pencil drawing next to the chalk star.

Yan Deng turned sideways and introduced to Yan Ji: "This is Walter."

The Cornwall base has been shattered and fell into the deep sea. Officials said it was an earthquake and sent troops to block the area.Yan Deng stood far away on the edge of the cliff for the whole night, and then went to the school that Walter hated and loved the most.

She bought a hot dog with no veggies and doubles, and sat on the curbside seat with it in her hand.Most of the students passing by couldn't help but look at her, and some boldly approached her to strike up a conversation, Yan Deng responded kindly, listening to them complaining about their heavy workload and gossiping about all kinds of gossip.

Although in the past period of time, the teacher who was killed and stuffed with candies was still a hot topic, Yan Deng listened to seven or eight versions in the lesser half of the afternoon.

There were still three hours before the flight took off, Yan Deng hesitated for a moment, and asked the driver to transfer to a community.Following the house number, she walked to a house.

A typical European-style country building with a large lawn outside and a wooden fence around it.The master was weeding with a hat on, while the youngest daughter was playing with the big dog, noticed the Yan Deng outside the fence, and walked over with her little hand waving.She was only two or three years old, and she walked unsteadily and wobbled.

"Wat!" The host rushed over and hugged his daughter.

After confirming that his daughter was safe, the host looked up at the visitor. Under the hat was a face with drooping eyebrows. He asked Yan Deng: "excuseme, isthereanythingihelp"

Yan Deng shook his head, and put a folded paper sailboat on the fence.

The host looked at the paper sailboat in disbelief, picked it up tremblingly, and carefully pinched a corner.Familiar paper sailboats, painful and joyful memories, faint handwriting inside the paper, like a message of hope.

After countless disappointments, they despair, they let go, and they start over.

The male master dared not open it, afraid of this kind of repeated torture, and afraid that the last hope in his heart that his son would live in a certain corner of the world would be shattered.

Until the hostess' shout woke him up.

The hostess ran out of the house: "What'swrong?"

The host looked around, and the mysterious and strange foreign girl had disappeared. He handed the paper sailboat to his wife, and the hostess quickly opened it, disappointed, surprised, and pleasantly surprised. It was a huge check.

Man is a wonderful and incomprehensible creature. It is obvious that the wooden fence has no lock, and you can go in with a push, and return to the long-awaited warm world, but Walter still chooses to go to hell.

If he had walked into that country building...

"No." Yan Deng vetoed in a low voice, "It won't be different, I will still kill him."

Yan Ji looked at the pencil drawing on the wall without knowing it, hesitated again and again, and finally didn't ask anything. She could clearly feel that Yan Deng didn't want to mention everything about the past and Cornwall.That is not avoiding the painful experience, it is the only person who survived standing in front of the tombstone of the dead, without a thousand words, only silent sadness.

Yan Ji held Yan Deng's hand.

Yan Deng stared at the blackboard wall, his black and white eyes narrowed, "I'm not sad, this is what must be done, and it won't change a thousand times."

Yan Ji held Yan Deng's hand tightly.
