Morbid Addiction

Ning Junyan had an operation in the afternoon, and he didn't leave the operating table until it was sutured, took off the blood-stained gloves, and left the operating room.

In the corridor outside the operating room, Ning Junyan met a familiar doctor, nodded calmly, and then walked towards the locker room.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Ning Junyan put on a white coat over his shirt, buttoned it while walking towards the elevator, and went back to the department office.

There was a small personal refrigerator in his office, and there were only a few bottles of mineral water when he opened it. He took a bottle casually, turned around and sat on the office chair, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it with his head raised.

He has the habit of drinking ice water all year round, and he can't remember when he developed it.

After drinking the water, Ning Junyan sat on the chair and looked at the front indifferently. His slender fingers still had a warm touch. It was the touch of human flesh and blood through the gloves, which made him always It was subconsciously rubbing the fingertips lightly.

The air conditioner was very hot, and the hot water in the shower was also very hot. Only the mineral water in his hand was still ice. He drank the last sip of water left at the bottom of the bottle, and picked up the mobile phone on the table.

It's almost six o'clock now.

It was at this time that Chen Yuncheng received a WeChat message from Ning Junyan: "Have you eaten yet?"

At that time, he was still watching an unfinished ball game, and he was inexplicably interrupted, and replied: "No."

Ning Junyan immediately sent another message: "Wait for me."

Chen Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to reply, so he put the phone aside.Just as the football game on the TV was over, he stood up in the middle of the narrow container, lay down on the counter and looked outside, but he didn't see Ning Junyan's Land Rover.So he sat back again, picked up his phone and replied, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner."

After waiting for more than 40 minutes, Ning Junyan parked his Land Rover in front of Chen Yuncheng's small shop, opened the door and got off.

Chen Yuncheng stood up from the chair, greeted him at the counter with a smile: "You are coming?"

Ning Junyan only replied with one word: "Yes."

Chen Yuncheng said to him, "Sit down for a while."

There was also a wooden stool inside the store, just outside the counter, Ning Junyan sat down on the stool and looked up at Chen Yuncheng.

Chen Yuncheng asked him: "Do you smoke?"

Ning Junyan shook his head.

Chen Yuncheng asked again: "Just got off work?"

Ning Junyan replied, "Yes."

Ning Junyan wore a down jacket today. Chen Yuncheng didn't know what brand it was, but he thought the style was pretty, and it looked thick.His down jacket was open, and he only wore a thin white shirt inside, and he didn't seem to feel cold.

Chen Yuncheng leaned on the counter and said to him: "If you are free today, don't tell me earlier, so I can prepare in advance."

Ning Junyan heard the words and asked, "Are you busy?"

There were only the two of them in the store, and no other customers were seen. Chen Yuncheng's TV was always on, and it didn't look like he was very busy.

However, Chen Yuncheng smiled without changing his face, and said, "I was quite busy in the afternoon, and I cleared up this month's bills."

Ning Junyan nodded, and asked again: "Are you done with your work now?"

"I'm done," Chen Yuncheng said, "Do you want to eat something? I'll treat you tonight." After he finished speaking, he secretly prayed that Ning Junyan would never even think about going to that high-end restaurant that night.

As a result, Ning Junyan said, "It's all fine."

Chen Yuncheng thought about it seriously, and he said: "Why don't you just eat here, I'll buy some food and come back, I also have beer here, so I can drink some wine." He looked at Ning Junyan, wondering if the other party would mind.

Ning Junyan replied, "Okay."

Chen Yuncheng went to a restaurant he frequented across the street to order a few dishes. He and Ning Junyan were inside the store, sitting face to face in front of the counter for dinner.

Ning Junyan didn't drink at the end, because he had to drive, and Chen Yuncheng only opened a bottle of beer for himself.

"The roast chicken with taro in this store is delicious." Chen Yuncheng picked up a piece of taro with chopsticks and put it into his bowl, "I just don't know if you can get used to it."

"I'm used to eating everything," Ning Junyan said without any ups and downs.

Chen Yuncheng glanced at him subconsciously, hesitated for a while and still didn't mention the past.It's just that he later found cucumbers in the taro chicken side dish, he was a little dazed, and asked Ning Junyan, "Do you still not eat cucumbers?"

Ning Junyan looked up at him for a while before saying, "Do you still remember?"

Chen Yuncheng smiled, "I still have a little impression," he looked at Ning Junyan, "You can give me whatever you don't want to eat."

This sentence was what he said to Ning Junyan when he was a child. He even remembered that when they were eating, Ning Junyan picked up the cucumber in the bowl and threw it on the table because he didn't want to eat cucumber.The godfather sitting next to him slapped Ning Junyan as soon as he raised his hand, and said in a dark tone: "Pick it up and eat."

Chen Yuncheng held the chopsticks in one hand and held the bowl in the other without daring to move. He secretly looked at Ning Junyan, and saw that half of Ning Junyan's face was swollen quickly, but he didn't intend to be obedient, so he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the cucumber on the table. Get up and eat.

"I like cucumbers," he said.

While chewing the rice with his shriveled mouth, the godfather also "hummed" and didn't say anything more.

Chen Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief, then sneaked closer to Ning Junyan's ear, and said to him: "You can give me whatever you don't want to eat."

At that time, Ning Junyan just glanced at him calmly.

Thinking back now, Chen Yuncheng was no longer in that nervous and angry mood at that time, he could even laugh.

Ning Junyan looked at him, and suddenly asked, "Do you want anything I give you?"

Chen Yuncheng was not quite sure what his question meant, "What?"

Ning Junyan said: "It's nothing, let's eat."

It was past eight o'clock in the evening after eating.

Chen Yuncheng wiped the glass on the counter with a wet towel, and at the same time secretly looked at Ning Junyan, he wanted to know if Ning Junyan meant to leave.

Ning Junyan obviously did not.

Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to continue to find topics to chat with him, and asked him: "Why do you suddenly want to ask me for dinner today?"

Ning Junyan kept looking at him, watching his fingers pinching the wet wipes, and said, "There is an operation in the afternoon."

"Huh?" Chen Yuncheng didn't understand what he meant.

Ning Junyan's answer seemed to have nothing to do with his question, "It's more troublesome."

Chen Yuncheng asked: "Is it going well?"

Ning Junyan nodded.

Chen Yuncheng said: "That's good."

"During surgery..." Ning Junyan said, "you need to be very focused."

Chen Yuncheng followed his words and said, "That's right, it definitely requires full concentration."

Ning Junyan lowered his head and looked at his hands. He held the fingers of his right hand with his left hand. His fingertips recalled the touch of blood again, and said in a slightly cold tone, "I want to vent later."

Chen Yuncheng stopped cleaning the glass and leaned on the counter, "How do I vent?"

Ning Junyan looked up at him, but didn't answer the question.

For some reason, the look in Ning Junyan's eyes at that moment made Chen Yuncheng a little uncomfortable. Just when he was about to say something, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside the store.

A little girl looked up at him and said, "I want to buy a loaf of bread."

In Chen Yuncheng's store, there are breads from outside workshops that are sealed in plastic packaging and have a shelf life of two or three days. They cost five pieces for one piece, and the taste is not bad.

He looked over the counter and found that the little girl outside was the girl he had seen stealing at the intersection before, and the cotton coat she was wearing had not been changed for many days.

Chen Yuncheng reached out to take a piece of bread, and asked her, "This one?"

The girl nodded.

Chen Yuncheng handed it to her: "Let me treat you to eat."

The girl froze for a moment, reached out to take it, and then said, "Then I'll buy another one myself."

Chen Yuncheng smiled when he heard the words, "Okay."
