【Extraordinary episode · Another year of winter ④】

The days of Chinese New Year mean whether you are busy or not, but you really can't be idle.

When Xing Yi and Li Huan came out of the supermarket, each of them had two overstuffed shopping bags in their hands. In winter, there were candied gourds sold at the entrance of the supermarket. Li Huan just took a second look at the bunch of hawthorns when he was bending over to sort things out. , Waiting to raise his head again, Xing Yi had already delivered the candied haws to him.

After noon, the sky in Beijing is still not clear. The small snowflakes that floated up in the morning are as big as goose feathers. Dada's pace suddenly became leisurely.

Shichahai is ancient in winter, the lake is frozen, and the old city is integrated with the trendiest bar street. On the most noisy days, it becomes the quietest. It is a very suitable place to experience life at a slow pace.

Xing Yi held four shopping bags in one hand, and Li Huan in the other, and the person who was being held by the hand didn't even bother to look at the road, and focused all his energy on eating candied haws.

When they returned to the tea house, the two stood under the eaves of the gate and cleaned off the snowflakes on their bodies.Li Huan swallowed the last piece of hawthorn and threw the bamboo stick into the trash can next to him, then took out the key to open the door.

Before he had time to touch the courtyard door, he heard something on the other side collapse and shout: "Don't come here!!!" Then there was a barking bark of joy.

Li Huan was overjoyed when he heard it, put the key back into his coat pocket and pushed it away.

With a soft squeak, the door panel opened inwards, being chased by the Samoyed and had nowhere to hide. Ari suddenly turned his head, and his eyes met. As if he saw a savior, Ari burst into tears and snotted his nose, whoosh He ran over and jumped directly onto Li Huan's shoulder.

"You are a nine-tailed fox spirit, why are you being bullied by Samoyed?"

Li Huan despised it, and while talking, he avoided the gate to let Xing Yi enter the yard, and took two shopping bags.Ari crouched on his shoulder and shook into a ball, with a frozen snot bubble hanging from the tip of his nose.

"This Samoyed is sick!" Ari said angrily, "It's okay to be in heat in winter, and ride whatever you want!"

Li Huan looked down at the Samoyed who was circling around him, and said, "No, I think it is interested in you."

Ali: "..."

"Go!" Ahri said angrily.

Li Huan smiled so much that his eyes rolled up, he freed his hand to pinch the back of Ari's neck, lifted him from his shoulders, and said, "I'm really leaving?" Samoyed ran over, wagging his fur tail jump up.

"Oh my god!" Ari hugged Li Huan's wrist with all four limbs, "What good does it do you if I get fucked by it?!"

Li Huan thought for a while, and answered seriously: "Probably... I can laugh at this meme for a year?"

Ali: "..."

Even though he said that, Li Huan still felt that it was inappropriate for the teacher's soul to be crushed by a dog, and the joke was almost put back on his shoulder by a certain dog.

Xing Yi saw that he and Hu Ling had finished teasing each other, so he simply took the shopping bag back and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for dinner. If you're hungry, I'll make you something first."

Li Huan just finished eating candied haws and didn't want to have lunch, so he shook his head and said, "Start preparing so early?"

Xing Yi said: "The seafood must be processed, otherwise it will not be fresh if it dies."

Li Huan said "oh", all he could think about was Xing Yi cooking in an apron, and said absently, "Then I'll help you later, it's not a problem for this Samoyed to be convulsing in the yard, I'll find a place first Lock it up."

Hearing this, Hu Ling, who huddled into a ball, breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally said something human."

Then Xing Yi went to the kitchen in the backyard with the shopping bag. Li Huan picked up the dog leash on Samoyed from the snow, pulled Niu Niu over and patted its head comfortingly.After all, Niu Niu is a relative's family dog, and when someone pets her, she will squint her eyes so comfortably that she won't be able to care about Fox Spirit for the time being.

"I thought you would send it back," Li Huan said, "Why did you bring the tea house?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ari became angry, glared at Li Huan resentfully, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still remember what you said when you bewitched its master?"

Li Huanxin said that this thing is not just nonsense, where did he remember it?Ari knew that this guy couldn't hold anything else in his mind after seeing Xing Yi, so he raised his nostrils and said angrily, "The crazy guy went back to his girlfriend's house for the Spring Festival according to your wishes, and he won't come back until after the year. Now that the gate of the courtyard is locked, it’s no problem for me to stuff the dog back, but it’s probably going to be a mummy after a year of starvation.”

Li Huan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked sideways at a certain fox spirit, and said jokingly, "It's still nostalgic, why don't you care about a dog's life or death?"

Ari sighed, looking a little bit pained by the past, and sighed: "In my heart, I'm still willing to turn Niuniu into a beautiful bitch."

Li Huan also sighed, skillfully making up the knife: "Actually, a beautiful and attractive male dog is not bad~"

Ali: "..."

Ari didn't want to talk to him anymore, jumped off and carefully walked around to the side farthest from the Samoyed, and said: "It's getting late, I'll pick up the master, when you are at home, listen to the door, the young master and The second lady is probably coming soon."

Li Huan held Samoyed by his hand to prevent the guy from jumping over suddenly, and said: "Remember to bring an umbrella, don't let the teacher catch cold."

Ari nodded, walked to the courtyard wall to gather strength and jumped, stood on the top of the wall and still looked at Samoyed with disdain, then jumped down and disappeared.

After it left, Li Huan led Samoyed to the backyard.

It's cold in winter, and it's too inhumane to put the dog outside, so I cleared a space in the house where the New Year's goods are stored, laid out pet mats, and opened a bag of dried meat for Niu Niu as a snack.The Samoyed dog who witnessed the fox leaving was very depressed. After barely eating two pieces of jerky, he stood by the window and looked outside helplessly.

After Niuniu settled down, Li Huan closed the door and went back to the house to change his clothes, then walked across the yard to a side room that was used as a kitchen.

The kitchen was making water, so even if there was no heating, Li Huan would not feel cold. Li Huan pushed the door in and saw Xing Yi standing in front of the cooking table taking out the ingredients from the shopping bag one by one.

Xing Yi heard the movement and knew that it was Li Huan who came, so he said without looking back, "I can do it myself, you go back and rest."

Li Huan closed the door, walked over and hugged Xing Yi's waist from behind.The difference in height between the two was about ten centimeters, and he was able to observe what the other was doing just over the height of his shoulders.

The purpose of this hug should be very simple, but there is no third person present after all, and the characteristic of male creatures is that they are easy to obey their instincts.So almost unconsciously, while Li Huan watched Xing Yi take out the lobster that was still bubbling out of the packaging bag, his other hand habitually slid in from the hem of his shirt.

That hand was very cold, the moment Xing Yi touched the skin, the movement of Xing Yi's hand paused for a few seconds, and then he took a large stainless steel container from the cabinet and put the lobster in it as if nothing had happened.

Maybe just to warm your hands.

Mr. Jiang Yaoshi, who obviously felt that he had been eaten tofu, thought to himself.

The two bought this Aolong and came back to chop it into the dumpling stuffing to make it fresh. Li Huan has lived for 20 years, and he has a lot of experience in eating shrimp, but he has almost no experience in peeling shrimp, because the nine-tailed adult next door likes to pinch it. In addition to walnuts, peeling shrimp for the little apprentice can also be regarded as another hobby.

"How do we kill this thing?" Li Huan stared at the lobster and asked, "Should we just remove the shell?"

Xing Yi said: "Before removing the shell, put the water first, otherwise the meat will have a fishy smell." After speaking, he turned around and took out a chopstick from the drawer.

Because of this movement, someone's hand on the abdominal muscles slid to the side of the waist, and the tip of the nails lightly swept over the contours of the muscles, causing an indescribable itchiness.Xing Yi only felt a tingling burning sensation spread from the contact point, like a weak but cunning electric current, instantly penetrated the lower abdomen, teasing the part bound by the clothes.

Behind him, Li Huan said unconsciously, "What are you doing with chopsticks?"

Xing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, turned over the lobster, held the end of the shrimp tail with chopsticks and pierced through the thin soft shell, and inserted it directly.

Li Huan frowned unconcernedly, hissed as if empathetic, and said, "It looks so painful, Brother Yi, you should be gentle at the first stroke."

Xing Yi: "..."

This sounds like a lot to think about.

Mr. Demon Subduing Master didn't rush to speak, but pulled out his chopsticks and squeezed the belly of the lobster at the same time.There is a lot of water in the shrimp shell, and it flows out intermittently along the hole in the tail.

Li Huan was stunned by the water content of a lobster. He thought that a normal-sized lobster only weighed three to four catties, and water alone accounted for nearly half of it. The supermarket is too dark!

The young master, who was about to save money to buy a house, felt a little distressed by the weight taken up by the water. He was distracted when he heard Xing Yi casually say: "It will be fine when the water comes out, Huanhuan, do you still feel the pain?"

Li Huan: "..."

Well, he admitted that the previous sentence was deliberately said to molest Xing Yi, but he didn't expect to be able to molest Xing Yi again, okay? !

I always feel that I met an evenly matched opponent on the road of life, and my heart is so tired...

"Cough—" Li Huan's cheeks were slightly red, he cleared his throat pretending to be calm, and said, "Now, it's time to remove the shell, shall I help you?"

In a place where he could not see, Mr. Demon Subduing Master silently sneered, threw the inexplicably impure chopstick into the pool, poured out the drained water, rinsed the container, and finally pushed it out together with the half-dead lobster. beside.

"There are thorns on the shrimp shell, be careful not to prick your hands."

Li Huan nodded, took the Mifen Red Leopard apron hanging on the wall and put it on.

Xing Yi, who was washing his hands, looked up inadvertently, and saw his hands tied behind his back—Li Huan was thin, with a narrow waist and crotch, and the outline of his waist would become very obvious when the two belts were tightened .

For no reason, Xing Yi thought of the wonderful picture of the other party wearing only an apron, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Over there, Li Huan removed the shrimp head and a pair of pliers, looking at the body of the lobster, thinking whether the shell should be peeled off round and round like a prawn.At this moment, the sound of the water in the vegetable sink stopped. Li Huan poked at the hard shell of the lobster, and subconsciously wanted to ask Xing Yi, but before he could speak, he was suddenly picked up by the waist and placed directly on the cooking table.

At that moment, the young master, whose thoughts were all on the lobster, was still very confused.

"Brother Yi?"

Surrounded by bought dinner materials, because of too much movement, a lobster claw rolled to the floor. Trapped in the narrow space formed by the man's body and the cooking table, Li Huan looked up at Xing Yi inexplicably.

Xing Yi also felt that he was impulsive, probably because the mission cycle was a bit long, and the long-term abstinence could not stand a little teasing: "I'm a little—" The voice stopped suddenly, Xing Yi frowned uncomfortably, and licked his dry lips with the tip of his tongue Cracking, as if trying to endure, and then there is no further text.

He didn't finish his sentence, but Li Huan could already clearly feel something pressing against his inner thigh, if he didn't understand now, then it would be a ghost.

There was a clear expression on Li Huan's face, and he smiled like a cunning fox with malicious intentions, but his voice was unusually serious, and he said, "Brother Yi, didn't you just stick a lobster with your chopsticks, why— - Have you reacted to it?" After speaking, someone glanced down meaningfully.

Mr. Demon Subduing Master remained silent.

If it wasn't for the poor environment in the kitchen, if it wasn't for the possibility that someone would come back at any time, I really want to kill this monster who is not afraid of death on the spot.

Then, Young Master Li, who thought he had the upper hand, didn't take long to be complacent, and was tied up firmly by the leads that appeared out of thin air, and "invited" out from the kitchen door.

It was cold and snowing heavily, Li Huan was standing in the snow in the backyard wearing a Mifen red leopard apron, and behind him was the kitchen door with hundreds of barriers to prevent demons (him). At that moment, the young master was convinced that he was very Want to scold the street.
