Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

The weather in Yan'an City was very abnormal that year. Spring came late, summer was not rainy, but winter was extremely cold.

After the Secret Planet APP was completely offline, Yan'an City entered a brief period of peace.For several months, the most exciting case Xia Yi took over was a thief who broke into a house in the middle of the night and robbed him.I didn't do much outside work, and spent most of my time writing reports in the office.

That day, Police Officer Xiao Xia sneaked his head out from behind the computer screen at his workstation, and secretly glanced at Jiang Mo.When the slim figure of the deputy team leader walked past Xia Yi's workstation, he immediately deleted the report page on the screen, and the document instantly became a health care webpage.

Shao Lin's injury has healed early, but it seems that the root cause of the disease is still branded.Although Shao Lin didn't say anything to anyone, but as soon as the weather changed, Xia Yi noticed that he couldn't help touching the location of the gunshot wound, and the way he was exerting force with his left and right hands changed.

Whether it was the health-care essential oil that Xia Yi's mother spent thousands of dollars importing from France, or the trauma plaster his father begged from some lama in Tibet, Xia Yi stole it all in one go, saying that he would give Shao Lin a try.In the end, Shao Linning refused to obey, insisting that he was fine and didn't need to paint anything.

Thinking of what happened that day, Xia Yi couldn't help grinning silly.

In front of his eyes came the image of Shao Lin lying shirtless on the bed again, with an aggrieved expression, like a dog forced to take a bath.When Xia Yi thought of his little eyes, his heart itched with excitement.Xia Yi had never used that lavender essential oil before, and poured too much by accident. The beautiful and thick fragrance made people dizzy. It was obviously a job of applying medicine, but he did it in a distracted manner.

Shao Lin's back was glowing with oil, his muscle texture was smooth and clear, and the word "Yi" was more vivid, shining as if it was burning.Xia Yi's palm went all the way down from the wound, along the erector spinae to the waist eye. Xia Yi could feel the subconscious tense of the muscles under the palm, which made him unable to move his hand for a while, until Shao Lin angrily said Turning his head, he cursed in a low voice: "Have you had enough?!"

His voice was not loud, but it was a little more coquettish.

Gee.

Fragrant.

It should be applied every day.

But those essential oil ointments really didn't work.Xia Yi went to ask the doctor again, and he heard that it took a hundred days for the muscles and bones to be injured, and for recovery, it is better to rely on "inner nourishment", rest and nutrition are more important than applying any oil.

It was also after that that Xia Yi, like a 50-year-old mother, seriously studied diet therapy.

Xia Yi managed to avoid Jiang Mo, but was accidentally caught by his little brother.Yan Jingjing stared at those colorful health-preserving pages, and suddenly felt a little surprised: "Hey, team leader, why are you still looking at the recipes when you are fishing? Didn't you once aspire to travel all over the world with a bowl of Laotan sauerkraut noodles?"

Someone Xia's face darkened: "..."

"Black-bone Chicken Soup with Cordyceps Sinensis." Yan Jingjing read the titles one by one, "Craucian carp with shredded radish, pork ribs soup with sea cucumber and yam—" The little girl frowned suspiciously: "No, team leader, what are you doing here? Confinement milk? Did your sister give birth?"

Xia Yi was annoyed at all the webpages, and returned to the report writing interface, angrily said: "Yan Jingjing, I said you are out of space! Have you finished sorting out the transcripts? Have you listed the reimbursement for this month? Why don't you see what I am doing when you have time?" Write the report for me!"

Yan Jingjing was very wronged: "Why are you so fierce, those who don't know think you want to breastfeed by yourself!"

Xia Yi: "..." The little girl now spits out tiger and wolf words.

Shao Lin heard the movement from afar and poked his neck curiously.

Xia Yi noticed it, and quickly made a gesture, and said "Shhh" to the little girl, telling her not to tell anyone about the recipe.Yan Jingjing gave him a blank look as if she had seen a ghost, and went to work.

At 03:30 that afternoon, for the first time ever, Xiao Xia, an outstanding employee of Yan'an City Bureau, greeted Jiang Mo and slipped away early.When Shao Lin arrived home, the kitchen was already full of steam, and the goose-yellow duckling apron wrapped around his sturdy body seemed a little small, looking cute and funny.

It turned out that Xia Yi had been sneaking around all day just to go home and cook him a meal.When Shao Lin thought that tomorrow was his birthday, his heart immediately warmed up.He stepped on fluffy slippers and poked his head from behind Xia Yi's shoulders.He stood on tiptoe, rested his chin on Xia Yi's shoulder, and looked curiously at the two freshly cooked pots...

Mosaic unknown mixture.

Although he didn't know what it was, Shao Lin was still very happy.He put his arms around Xia Yi's waist from behind, and smiled next to people's ears: "What delicious food did you make for me?"

Xia Yi, a freshman in the kitchen, patted his chest proudly: "Tomato beef brisket topped with rice!"

Shao Lin's smile paused for a moment: "?"

Xia Yi rubbed her hands excitedly: "Is the appearance not bad?"

Hazai stood on tiptoe curiously, and skillfully picked up the desk with two front legs. Rarely did he sniff the food, shook his head and left.And Shao Lin recalled that last time, some people almost burned down the house by making bacon and scrambled eggs, so he boasted very sincerely: "The kitchen is still there, great progress has been made!"

Xia Yi smiled "hehe" and brought two pots of "mosaics" to the table: "It looks like it's a bit different from the photos on the recipe, but the seller's show and the buyer's show, everyone understands, understands I understand everything. Not to mention, I followed the recipe completely, hey, the website also listed this dish as medium to high difficulty, I think it is quite simple, but that’s all.”

After the two of them washed their hands and sat down, Shao Lin added chopsticks with the spirit of an explorer, and his face froze when he heard his teeth "crack": "... What kind of meat did you just say?"

"Beef brisket, it's imported from Australia!" Xia Yi said, and picked up his chopsticks with a smile. The smile suddenly froze on his face, and then gradually disappeared, "Why is it so hard? Is it because of this?" It’s imported beef, so the meat is particularly tough???”

Shao Lin blinked and showed a very gentle smile: "It seems... there is no... The steaks I bought before... are all imported?"

Xia Yi glanced suspiciously at the brown mosaic on the plate again.

Shao Lin asked cautiously, "How long have you been cooking?"

"45 minutes?" Xia Yi recalled the recipe, "On the Internet, it says 45 minutes is enough!"

Shao Lin glanced at the soup pot in the kitchen: "The recipe says 45 minutes? Is it 45 minutes in the pressure cooker?"

Xia Yi quickly opened the recipe on the phone, and slapped his head: "I was wrong! I don't have a pressure cooker at home, so I thought any cooker would have the same effect!"

Shao Lin couldn't help snickering: "The pressure cooker takes half an hour, but this small saucepan will take another two hours. And—" His eyes fell on the clean glass cover, and he ruthlessly solved the case: "You cook the soup Didn't the lid even close when it was done?"

Xia Yi put down his chopsticks, feeling suddenly annoyed.This meal was originally intended to be a birthday surprise for Shao Lin in advance.Unexpectedly, his operation was as fierce as a tiger. The beef brisket was not stewed, and it tasted hard and fishy.In addition, there is not enough time, the tomato flavor is not thick enough, and the juice of the soup is also lost. The "covering" that should have been thick has become thin water.

Let's go back to the pot and remake it, I don't know how long it will be stewed.At this point on Friday, it's too late to go out to eat, but any good restaurant has to queue up, even if you order a takeaway, it may take more than an hour to deliver it during this peak period.

Seeing Xia Yi's distressed expression, Shao Lin quickly patted his hand and said it's all right, let's pick out the beef brisket first and put it aside for stewing soup tomorrow, the leftover tomato rice tastes good.As he said that, Shao Lin quickly made another plate of scrambled shrimp with eggs, and the two of them filled their stomachs.

After dinner, the two of them took Ha Zai and went for a walk in Huarong Lake Park as usual.

Xia Yi suddenly spared a way they usually don't take: "Wait, I'll take you to a place."

After walking for a while, Shao Lin discovered that at another intersection in the park, there was a snack cart with lights and festoons.There is a long line of people in front of the car, twisting and twisting like a snake, which shows that the business is booming.Shao Lin looked at a couple who had just picked up a meal, holding a handful of fried mochi and ice cream in their hands.

"Oh, I found it, I found it," Xia Yi dragged Shao Lin to line up, "This is the one, Yan Jingjing said that the net red mochi is delicious! Listening to her talk every day, I'm hungry, isn't this just oil Fried glutinous rice dumpling, how can you say it so magically."

Ha Zai stared greedily at the entrance of the park, which was close at hand, and condemned Xia Yi's behavior.

Xia Yi bumped Shao Lin with his shoulder: "It's really delicious, and the online reviews are super high! Baby, I'll treat you to eat!"

Shao Lin smiled and shook his head, saying that you can just buy your own.He has never been very interested in this kind of Internet celebrity products, but he is also willing to accompany Xia Yi and others.The feeling of slowly spending time together like this seems to be very good.It was as if they were just an ordinary couple in this world, doing what couples would do together.

I lined up for a long time in the cold wind, just for such a small bowl of fried dumplings.

The mochi just out of the oil pan, the snow-white appearance is shining with golden luster, and it looks very attractive.Xia Yi took a toothpick and stuck a piece of mochi to Shao Lin's lips: "Try it?"

Shao Lin wanted to refuse, but the sticky stuff touched his lips, so he just ate it.But as soon as the warm dumpling entered his mouth, Shao Lin's eyes lit up—the mochi was hot and soft, and when he bit it open, it burst into granulated jam, and his nose smelled of sweet strawberries.He usually doesn't like sweets, but this sweetness is just right, and the taste is very special.

Huh?It smells so good!

After eating one piece, Shao Lin licked his lips, couldn't help but glance at Xia Yi's hand, and begged for another piece.Unexpectedly, the more he ate this thing, the more he ate it, and when Shao Lin finished his mouth and was about to move again, there was only the last piece left in Xia Yi's small paper bowl.

Shao Lin blinked his eyes innocently.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have bought a large portion!" Xia Yi glanced wistfully at the long queue in front of the mochi stall, but he was still very generous, and handed over the paper bowl, "Eat as you like, as long as you like it."

Shao Lin suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Forget it, you should eat it. You wanted to eat it, but I ate half of it."

Xia Yi suddenly had a plan: "The last piece is half for each person."

Shao Lin grinned: "Okay, half of each person."

Xia Yi inserted the last piece of mochi with a toothpick. Shao Lin leaned over his head and took a small bite, but the mochi was soft and sticky. It became a few white strands in the air, and the strawberry filling was about to drip: "..."

A cunning flashed in Xia Yi's eyes, and he quickly stuffed the remaining half into his mouth, and followed the "broken root" glutinous rice to find Shao Lin's lips.

Shao Lin: "..." It seems that I was tricked by the silly dog ​​again.

It wasn't enough for Xia Yi to eat half a piece of mochi, so he deliberately tried to snatch it from Shao Lin's mouth, and the two of them almost knocked their teeth together.Just as Shao Lin wanted to escape, he was pushed into his arms.Xia Yi sucked his lips tenderly, but her tongue still did not forget to fight for the remaining glutinous rice balls.

The winter night wind was blowing against Shao Lin's face, but his cheeks were so hot that he couldn't feel the cold at all.The hustle and bustle of people beside his ears seemed to be inaudible at that moment, and the moist breath of the other party sprayed on his face.

Gentle, strawberry breath.

After Xia Yi kissed enough, he let go of him contentedly.He looked intently at the person in his arms, only to see Shao Lin's small face huddled in the gray scarf, with watery lips and flushed face.He raised his head slightly, his eyes were so serious, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Xia Yi showed a smirk full of complacency, and whispered in the ears of others with a volume that only Shao Lin could hear: "Your taste is really good."

Shao Lin punched him on the chest, but Xia Yi laughed and held him.He grabbed Shao Lin's hand and stuffed it into his hot pocket, only to turn his head to find Ha Zai squatting in the cold wind and having no love for him.

The hairy boy stared at the road in the park with a look of "no sight", leaving a lonely butt for his parents.

"Let's go, take a walk!"

Only then did Ha Zai wag his tail, and rushed out in the first place.

The two held hands and followed slowly.

Xia Yi said: "I've decided, I will learn how to cook well in the future. My mother even criticized me, saying that the last time I saw you, I lost weight again, and I blamed me for not being able to take care of you."

"You'll be cooking from now on?" Shao Lin said in a disgusted tone, but his eyes were already narrowed into crescents, "Then I'm starving to death."

"Today that was just an accident!" Xia Yi pulled her tightly to her side with all her strength, and smiled lowly, "I'm going to feed you like a pig."

Shao Lin sneered.

Suddenly, Ha Zai, who was running at the front, seemed to have sensed something suddenly, and raised his head to look at the sky.Shao Lin followed his gaze, and saw that there was nothing under the dim streetlights, but soon, snowflakes began to float in dots.

The first snow that year fell quietly on the eve of Shao Lin's birthday.

Soon, the snow became heavier.

Ha cub flapped the snowflakes like a butterfly.He was so excited that he jumped up and fell down on purpose, twisted and rubbed on the ground like a snake, and tried to bite the snowflake with his mouth "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.It was rare for Xia Yi to see him so happy, so he simply didn't intend to rush back.

After a while, the two people's temples, eyebrows, scarves, and coats were all covered with large patches of hoarfrost by the wind.Shao Lin tilted his head slightly, raised his hand, and lightly brushed off the snow from the opponent's shoulders, suddenly feeling extremely happy in his heart.

He gently bent his eyes, looked at Xia Yi devoutly under the light, and said softly, "I want to go to Mu Xuebaitou with you."
