Shen Yan's residence is not far from the hospital, within 10 minutes' walk.

The north of the city belongs to the old city, which is different from the new district where Qi Jin lives. The nearby buildings are relatively old, leaving many old-style alleys and old houses.

Many of the residents here have settled here since their grandparents, most of the younger generation moved out, and the retired people are happy to relax.Between the quiet streets and alleys, old people can be seen sitting under the eaves drinking tea and listening to the rain from time to time, and a few elegant ones even set up chess records and listen to them while playing.

There is an air of tranquility and simplicity that pervades both inside and outside the walls.

In the drizzle, I don’t know where the green vines grew in front of the building, dripping continuously, gray moss protruding from the left and right of the white wall, and occasionally small snails can be seen dripping down the rainwater The traces crawled slowly.

"right here."

Coming to an old-fashioned residential building, Shen Yan pointed to the innermost unit.

Because it is an old house, the corridor specifications are still old, and it looks relatively low and narrow.There are several tall linden trees just outside the building, and the lighting is even more insufficient in rainy days. When you walk in, you can hardly see the stairs under your feet.

The lights in the aisle could have sensed the sound, but after Qi Jin took a few steps, the lights didn't turn on.

Just as he was about to support the wall and walk up, Shen Yan, who was walking in front of him, turned sideways and motioned him to stop first: "The light in the corridor broke down two days ago, and it hasn't been repaired yet. Don't fall if you hurt your hand." caught."

After all, she gently stretched out a hand to him.

Fortunately, the lighting is a bit dim.

With the light behind her, the expression on her face was more and more buried in the shadow, but she slowly raised her hand.The second time I held the opponent's hand, I felt much calmer than the previous time, but the temperature of my fingers was lower.Shen Yan clasped back silently, her palm was still warm and strong, and led him to continue walking upwards.

On the third floor, the eyes can already adapt to the darkness, and there is also a slight sunlight at the end of the corridor.

But Shen Yan's hand never let go.It wasn't until the two came to the door that he had to take out the key to open the door, and then he put it down gently.Qi Jin stood in the corner of the wall and waited without saying a word, with her five fingers folded together, she pressed against the side of her thigh and did not move.

"Please come in." Shen Yan opened the door and made room for him to come in.

The appearance of this residential building is old, but the inside looks newer than expected, maybe slightly renovated.The layout of the house is similar to that of ordinary residential houses, with two bedrooms and one living room. Although the place is not too wide, it is not too narrow, and the size is just right.

Maybe it's because she's used to seeing her empty apartment, but when she came here, Qi Jin felt as if the room was filled.

Not a crowded feeling, but an intimate feeling.There is a lot of furniture here, the wood is almost all black mahogany, and the tall closet in the living room contains all kinds of gadgets, books, and pottery.The sofa is also covered with boxy pillows, which are soft and warm. The coffee table and dining table are spacious and take up a lot of space.At a glance, the whole room gives people a sense of visual fullness.

This is like a home——Compared with the simple and empty layout of her apartment, Qi Chen couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Sorry, the house is a bit old." Shen Yan lowered her body and arranged the various pillows on the sofa to make room for him to sit on.

"No, I think it's pretty good." Qi Yu said hastily.

But, seeing so many things in the house... he probably doesn't live alone.Occupational observation sometimes brings some negative thoughts to myself, such as this one.

While thinking silently, Qi Jin looked around and inadvertently began to look for traces of other people's residence.

As if able to read his gaze, Shen Yan suddenly said softly: "I also live alone. This room used to be my grandfather's. After he passed away, he kept all his things, and I didn't want to give them away, so it looks very strange here. Full."

Qi Chen was stunned for a moment, before blurting out five words: "Grandpa's grandpa."

After finishing speaking, he realized that there was something wrong with this sentence, and hurriedly avoided his eyes in embarrassment, regretting his slip of the tongue.But Shen Yan didn't mind, instead he smiled lightly: "Yes, grandpa's grandpa, I was raised by him."

Stop here, without mentioning other family members.

Qi Jin is a smart person, so naturally she wouldn't be so stupid as to ask these questions and sit down silently with complicated thoughts.

"What do you like to eat?" Shen Yan asked him.

"I don't have any special hobbies. It's just as simple as it is, and it doesn't need to be too much trouble." Qi Zhi usually eats badly, and sometimes she is too busy with work, so she only eats biscuits to satisfy her hunger all day long, and stomach medicine is a regular item at home. , "The last email you wrote to me was very good, light and easy to get."

Shen Yan let out a "hmm", opened the refrigerator, and stooped to find suitable ingredients.

At this time, Qi Jin also got up from the sofa, and said hesitantly, "Well... if possible, can I help?"

To be honest, when I first heard Shen Yan's invitation, I was a little at a loss.Eating at home is equivalent to cooking by yourself. Shen Yan has already sacrificed her rest time today to take care of Xiaoguiqi, and now she is still busy after returning from the hospital. Qi Yu always feels sorry.

Although he can only use his right hand, he can still do kitchen chores like laying hands.

"Okay." Shen Yan glanced at him and nodded after a while.

Having said that... such things as watching the fire can't be regarded as helping.

Looking at the blue flame jumping on the gas stove in front of him and the pot of clear water bubbling before boiling, Qi Zhen looked at Shen Yan dumbly.Shen Yan didn't look at him, but lowered his eyebrows, and sliced ​​the cauliflower on the cutting board: "That's good."

"I can do something else." Qi Min insisted.

Since he stepped into the kitchen, he has done three things in total: washing rice, cooking, and watching the fire, all of which require little effort and no technical content.

As for Shen Yan, he didn't even have the time to turn around, and the knives kept falling. On the table were not only vegetables, eggs, tofu and other healthy foods, but also half a catty of lean meat to add some meat flavor, and two fish heads were prepared for a while. Make soup.His sleeves were half rolled up, from cleaning to chopping vegetables to seasoning and marinating, he did everything skillfully, with an expression of concentration as if he was on the operating table.With great difficulty, Qi Jin found a gap to interject.

Probably because of his unusually serious voice, Shen Yan paused for a moment, paused, knocked a few eggs into the bowl, and then handed him a pair of chopsticks.

"Then, you crack eggs." This is his so-called substantive work.

"Shen Yan," Qi Yu felt the weight of the plaster cast on his left arm for the first time, and the weight weighed on his heart, "I really want to help, really."

"You are already helping." Shen Yan looked calm, not perfunctory.His chopping action slowed down a little, and the following words came out in a hoarse voice amidst the chopping of the chopping board, "And...you are willing to come over, I am already very content."

The fire jumped.

The pot of water on the stove reached boiling point at this time, and the air bubbles floating up from the bottom of the pot broke through the water surface and began to explode into large sprays.

That voice is very similar to the portrayal of Qi Jin's heart at this time-it has been silent on the surface, but it keeps heating up, gradually shaking, and finally the feelings buried inside can't restrain the surge and burst.

His cheeks were a little pale, and he couldn't speak for a while.The big puff of steam from the cauldron masked the slight shaking of his body.

It seemed that he cared about the movement of pulling out his hand.

That's why he said this.

People like Shen Yan are extremely cautious, and it is easy to notice the hints in other people's behavior and make adjustments.Knowing that he had suffered from a speech disorder, but still responding in such a hurtful way, it is tantamount to worsening the situation.Obviously accompanied me through the wind and rain, but now I say "satisfaction" because of such a simple thing as going through the door for a meal.

Several times.She always accepted his care, but in the end pushed her away fiercely.

There is no more despicable act than this—

He lowered his eyes, the egg water in the bowl was shaking before he started beating, it turned out that the chopsticks in his hand were shaking too much.Guilt weighed down his vocal cords, making his voice inaudible: "...I'm actually very happy, because you are the one who invited me."

As if afraid that the other party could not hear, he bit every word very hard and repeated.

"Because it's you, I'm so happy."

At this time, he heard the sound of the knife falling on the chopping board stop.

Shen Yan sighed deeply, unable to tell whether he was relieved or more entangled: "I always thought you hated me."

That's where their conversation stops.

I haven't thought about it that way at all—Qi Yu actually wanted to answer that way.The reason why he didn't answer right away was because when he wanted to refute, he found that many of his actions so far could not provide evidence for this at all, and even had the opposite effect.So I could only stand helplessly.

After the food was ready and the fire was extinguished, he finally walked out of the kitchen slowly.

Eating around the same real family table was something that he hadn't done in years.

It feels different to socialize outside the unit and have dinner with friends in private.Knowing that the hot meal in front of you was made by someone for themselves is a feeling of being taken seriously.And the last time he experienced this kind of situation was before he ran away from home.

How many years have passed by now, Qi Yu has forgotten.

Because no one reminded him of this feeling for too long, until today, until he met the man across the table.

"Let's eat."

Shen Yan seemed to have no intention of continuing the previous topic.Qi Jin nodded following his words, thanked him in a low voice, and sat down at the dining table.

There were only two of them, but there were five dishes and one soup on the table, garlic cauliflower, egg drop tofu soup, black fungus and mushrooms, boiled pork slices, and sour bamboo shoots and fish head soup...they are all ordinary home-cooked dishes, but every day All of them were well matched in color, fragrance and flavor, which made his appetite, which he had been unable to arouse during his illness, improved.

Shen Yan served him a bowl of freshly boiled white rice, placed it in front of him, and put the chopsticks on for him.

Except for eating out in restaurants these years, Qi Jin hardly had the chance to see so many dishes in front of him.What's more, Shen Yan did it in private.

He couldn't even bear to move his chopsticks: "...Your craftsmanship is really good."

Shen Yan saw that he hadn't tried anything yet, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, but it was very light: "How do you know that you haven't eaten yet?"

"You can tell it's delicious just by looking at it." Qi Min replied truthfully.

He suddenly thought of the hospital box lunch that he had spent several days with him on the hospital bed—rice as hard as gravel, overly salty bitter wheat vegetables, tasteless eggs, and the only pan-fried tofu that was barely worthy of praise. He said with a wry smile: "In the few days after the operation, I was hospitalized alone, and no one delivered meals, so I went to the hospital cafeteria to buy boxed lunches every day. The boxed lunches were just the opposite. Just by looking at them, I knew it was very difficult to eat."

However, at least he had this boxed meal to accompany him during the most difficult time, so he didn't die on the hospital bed.

Shen Yan suddenly said at this time: "You have lost a lot of weight, compared to before the car accident."

Qi Min was startled, and raised her head to look at him in a trance.

Across the steaming food on the table, the man sitting opposite had a solemn expression, his brows were slightly frowned, his eyes stayed on his face for a long time, and he said in a low voice: "Although when we were chatting before, I vaguely felt...you might Time has suffered a lot. But when I actually meet you again, I was really shocked."

Hearing this, Qi Jin subconsciously raised her hand to cover half of her cheek, and asked awkwardly, "Am I already so thin that it would shock people?"

I don't know how many catties I lost in the past half month, and I haven't weighed it specifically, but everyone said so, it must have lost a lot of weight.I hope it didn't make Shen Yan feel unsightly.

"It doesn't just refer to the change in body shape, but the complexion of the whole person." Shen Yan said slowly.

His impression of Qi Jin still stays at the time when they met in the hospital for the follow-up report of the cat abuse incident.

At that time, although Qi Zhen looked tired sometimes, she was still full of energy. She often smiled and greeted everyone politely.Like a ray of sunshine in the morning, although it is not as strong as the sun at noon, but the texture is light and warm, and it is very comfortable to watch.

Not now.

It wasn't what he saw under the umbrella. Standing alone in the corner, his hands were tied with thick plaster, his figure was lonely, and his face was as dark as a city in the rain.

"Of course you don't look good, after all, you're all broken." Qi Chen shook his head with a smile, a bit forced.

No patient looks well.

Shen Yan shook her head slightly, but didn't smile: "You can obviously treat yourself better."

Zijin blinked blankly.

The concept of better, better is too vague and unrealistic for his current life situation.So he began to have fun in the bitterness that he is best at: "I was injured on business, and my unit gave me a month's leave, so I can recuperate at home. Compared with the days when I was running around and eating and sleeping irregularly It's much better. The only way to get out of this life is to change jobs."

Shen Yan still didn't smile: "I know reporters are usually very hard, but I don't want you to change jobs."

It turns out... isn't he referring to this?

Qi Min stared at him blankly: "Then what do you mean?"

Shen Yan withdrew his gaze, looked down at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, raised his hand, and gently pressed the side of his fingers against his lips.He seemed to want to say something, but was unable to say it.

"I mean—you should find someone to take care of you."
