"Son, how is your friend who is hospitalized now?" Xia Lerong asked him casually when he went home for dinner on the weekend.

Duan Yan buried his head in picking up the vegetables, and said while eating: "There is no major problem, and I have been discharged from the hospital now."

"That's it." Xia Lerong asked after thinking about it, "So who is that friend of yours?"

"A former college classmate." Duan Yan casually reported his name, trying to get away with it.

In the next second, Xia Lerong, who was sitting at the opposite table, immediately collapsed.

With a "snap", Xia Lerong put the chopsticks in her hand on the dining table, and mercilessly exposed his lie: "How long do you want to lie to me? All my friends in the hospital saw you go to the orthopedic ward to find that To Mingqiu."

Duan Yan, who was swallowing the soup, accidentally choked. He coughed several times and managed to catch his breath.

Although there is something wrong, but I can only bite the bullet and explain to her: "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you might have an opinion, after all, you don't have a good impression of him. Besides, he is also because of the kennel I was injured because of the incident, and I went to the hospital to see what's going on."

"Then you can't tell nonsense directly. In the end, if you are exposed, it will easily lead people to misunderstand, thinking that you two have some ulterior secret."

That's all Xia Lerong said, in fact, she didn't think in a certain direction.

Probably because of a guilty conscience, Duan Yan was very sensitive after hearing this, and prevaricated: "Mom, don't think about it."

In order to distract his mother's attention, he took the initiative to mention the blind date to Xia Lerong for the first time: "By the way, have you chosen a place for dinner tomorrow? When shall we go there?"

Sure enough, Xia Lerong put the topic just now behind her, and replied: "Your Uncle Zhang has already reserved a seat, and you will be at the seaside room of the Fragrant Hills Hotel at six o'clock tomorrow night, remember to tidy up when the time comes, can you tell me otherwise, The key is to make a good impression on people.”

"Understood." Duan Yan nodded, "If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back to the kennel after dinner."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's rare to come back, so I'll sleep at home tonight."

"No, there are still a lot of things to deal with over there." Duan Yan picked up a bowl of sugar water on the table, drank it clean, then got up from his seat and left the dining room.

The plaster plaster on Xiang Mingqiu's hand will not be removed until next week at least. During this time, Duan Yan not only has to take over most of the kennel's internal affairs, but also has to take care of Xiang Mingqiu in daily life.

"Huohuhuhuo, please pour me a glass of water." Xiang Mingqiu looked leisurely, wrapped a pillow in his arms, and lay down on the sofa in the living room to watch videos.

"Don't you know how to do such a small thing as collecting water?" Duan Yan violently knocked his cup on the coffee table and reminded, "You only broke one hand, not two."

"Aren't you going into the kitchen, just by the way." Tired after lying down for a long time, Xiang Mingqiu sat up and stretched.

These days, he was almost recuperating at home, and he became a little lazy. He didn't even wear his clothes well, and half of the buttons on his shirt were undone.

Every time Xiang Mingqiu's movements are a little bigger, the area on his chest will be fully exposed.

Duan Yan didn't mean to peep, but his eyes would always drift to Xiang Mingqiu without knowing it, slide down his neck to his collarbone, and then move to that strong and strong chest bit by bit... .

When he was distracted, he quickly stepped on the brakes to bring back the thoughts that were gradually drifting away.

After drinking the water and putting down the cup, Xiang Mingqiu noticed that Duan Yan was licking his lips from time to time, thinking that his mouth was dry due to the weather.

So he took out a honey lip balm from his trouser pocket and threw it into Duan Yan's hand: "It's dry in autumn, apply it to prevent chapped lips, you can keep this, don't return it to me."

Duan Yan had never used this thing before, he looked at the lip balm in his hand, after thinking for a while, he asked with doubts: "Will it make a color after applying it?"

Xiang Mingqiu deliberately did not answer, and said with a smile: "You will know if you try it."

Duan Yan pretended to carry things upstairs, and after returning to the room, he quickly closed the door, walked to the mirror, and unscrewed the lip balm.

After hesitating for a long time, he put the lip balm under his nose and sniffed it, carefully traced it along his lips for a week, and then looked left and right in the mirror.

After applying the lip balm, my dry lips are immediately moisturized and feel very good.

Duan Yan suddenly remembered something, took out his phone, took a close-up of the lip balm, and posted it on Weibo: [Second-hand goods used by Akita dogs [contempt]]

"Ding-dong-"

Duan Yan vaguely heard a doorbell from downstairs, he walked to the window, and took a look outside the house, there was a white Cayenne parked in the alley.

He recognized the owner of the car at a glance, it was because Lele hadn't run away, why does that kid keep pushing this way? !

Counting this time today, Lele has only been to the kennel twice in total, but in Duan Yan's view, there is actually no difference between "twice" and "often".

You don't need to ask to know that Lele is here to find Xiang Mingqiu and has nothing to do with Duan Yan.

According to his temper, he walked around the room several times irritably, and decided to go down to check the situation.

Before they reached the first floor, Lele rushed to Ming Qiu and shouted "Brother" one by one.

Duan Yan was inexplicably a little annoyed, deliberately increased the strength of his feet, and strode into the hall with big strides.

"Brother Yan, so you're here too." Lele took the initiative to greet him.

Duan Yan knowingly asked: "Why are you here?"

"Brother Qiu's hand was injured, of course I came here to see him."

Xiang Mingqiu pointed to the two boxes of cherries on the coffee table: "Lele brought some gifts for seeing a doctor, so come and eat with us too."

"I don't eat cherries." Duan Yan directly refused, as if he was acting emotionally.

"It's okay, I bought it for Brother Qiu anyway." Lele didn't care much, she smiled and pulled Xiang Mingqiu to sit down together, and continued to chat about the topic just now.

Let's just chat for this chat, why do you have to be so close, and feed the cherries on your own initiative, as for what?

Akita Inu's left hand is broken, so is the right hand also useless?

Seeing Duan Yan staring at him all the time, Xiang Mingqiu smiled at him and said, "Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo, these cherries are very sweet, you really don't want to eat them?"

"If you want to eat, you can eat enough for yourself, and you can also eat enough for dinner." After Duan Yan finished speaking, he picked up the car key on the glove box, turned around and left.

"Where are you going?"

"Go out on a blind date."

Xiang Mingqiu raised his eyebrows, Duan Yan's answer surprised him, and for a moment he thought he had heard wrong: "Why are you dating?"

"My mother introduced me to someone, and I went to have dinner with him and make an appointment."

"Didn't you say you didn't talk about your partner before?"

"I just said that I don't talk about partners, I didn't say that I don't get married."

Duan Yan stepped out of the threshold of the house without looking back, and slammed the door with a "bang".
