Grocery Store No.514

Driving to the gate of the community where Ling Huaan is located, Jiang Chengyan was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the stuff in the car. He forgot that his car couldn't go in. Not to mention himself, even two more people couldn't take so many things. .Looking at the time on his watch, Jiang Chengyan decided to act for his own sake.

The car slowly drove towards the gate of the community. The security guard at the gate came over and stopped him: "Stop, stop, cars are not allowed in the gate of the community."

Jiang Chengyan took out his ID and said, "I'm a policeman, go in and do something."

The security guard carefully checked his ID, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are a comrade from the criminal investigation team. You came to our community to handle errands. Is something wrong with someone in our community?"

"Normal visit, I hope you will keep quiet."

"Understand, understand, I will let you go right away, so as not to delay the business of the police comrades."

The security guard opened the door and let Jiang Chengyan into the community.After driving all the way to the downstairs of the unit, he found a place to park the car, and then Jiang Chengyan moved things down.Looking at the things that were moved down, and then looking at the things in the car, Jiang Chengyan suddenly felt a little funny, picked and picked, got two big shopping bags of ingredients, and carried a box of history books, and then headed towards the gate of the unit building go.

Ling Huaan was drawing talismans in the study room when suddenly the doorbell rang, his hands paused, and then he stood up and threw the unfinished paper talismans into the trash can.When drawing talismans, not only pay attention to materials, but also pay attention to "qi". It is best to do it in one go, otherwise the drawn talismans will be difficult to play a role.

Ling Huaan fumbled to the door, although he was separated by a door, he still keenly felt the familiar aura from Jiang Chengyan, turned the handle to open the door, and said with a smile: "Captain Jiang, you are here, come in quickly. "

Seeing this, Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly, and couldn't help reminding: "Hua An, you are blind, if someone knocks on the door, you'd better ask who opened the door, lest bad people take advantage of it."

Ling Hua'an half-truthfully said: "Come in while taking advantage of the situation? So what is Team Jiang planning to plot?"

Jiang Chengyan was startled, his face was a little hot, and he said guiltyly: "I just remind you that there are a lot of bad guys now... Well, where is your refrigerator, I put the ingredients in it."

Ling Huaan didn't make things difficult for him, he pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said, "What did Team Jiang buy in the kitchen?"

"Fish, shrimp, eggs, meat, and vegetables. I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some." Jiang Chengyan carried things into the kitchen. "I don't know why I didn't ask? If I don't like food, or I'm allergic to something, isn't that a waste?"

Jiang Chengyan paused, and then asked, "Hua An, what are you taboo about?"

"Strawberries, I'm allergic to strawberries and plum vegetables. I ate them once when I was a child and almost died."

Jiang Chengyan took out the strawberries from the shopping bag and threw them directly into the trash can.

Ling Huaan heard the movement and asked, "What did Team Jiang throw?"

Jiang Chengyan said with some embarrassment: "It's nothing. By the way, I still have something that I haven't brought up. I'll go out for a while."

Jiang Chengyan silently picked up the garbage bag and walked out of the kitchen.

"920907." Ling Hua'an's voice came from behind.

"What?" Jiang Chengyan turned to look at Ling Huaan.

"The door code."

Jiang Chengyan was startled, then raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, I will remember."

Wang Lei, who had been on the sidelines, pouted and said, "Laughing like a fool. Boss, he threw the strawberries he bought into the trash can, and now he is going to throw the trash."

"I know." Ling Hua'an came to the shopping bag and touched it, couldn't help chuckling, and said, "With so many things, does he treat my house as a refugee camp?"

"More than that, there is a cardboard box at the door, and I don't know what's inside."

Ling Huaan asked curiously: "The cardboard box? How big is it, and where is it located?"

"It's right where the boss put his cane. The box is not small. It's a cube, about 50x50x50 in size. It's sealed, so you can't see what's inside."

Ling Huaan fumbled to get a utility knife from the tool box, went to the door and opened the box, touched the things inside, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.

"So many books! You have to read the year of the monkey? Boss, I don't think he is stupid at all. He is very smart. He will do anything to chase you!"

Before Ling Hua'an could speak, a 'beep beep' sound came from outside the door, and the door was pushed open immediately.Ling Huaan got up, looked at Jiang Chengyan at the door, and said with a smile, "It's really costing Team Jiang."

Looking at the opened box, Jiang Chengyan's face became hot, and he said with some embarrassment: "I don't have history books at home, so I went to the bookstore."

Ling Huaan jokingly said, "With so many books, is Team Jiang planning to stay at my house?"

"I...you like history books. I don't go to bookstores very often, so I just bought more. Anyway, the days to come are still long, so I can read them to you slowly." Jiang Chengyan lowered his voice as he spoke. After finishing the sentence, his face was already flushed red.

"Team Jiang is right. The future will be long, so these books will trouble Team Jiang in the future." Ling Huaan smiled even more intensely.

The corners of Jiang Chengyan's mouth twitched again and again, and he said happily: "No trouble, I will come and read to you when I have time."

"Team Jiang is going to pack up the food, and I'm going to put the books in the study."

"There are a lot of books, and the box is heavy. Put it here, and I will pack it for you."

Ling Hua'an said helplessly: "Team Jiang, I'm only blind, and this weight is nothing to me. The more cautious you are, the more I care about how much trouble my flaws have caused others."

Jiang Chengyan was startled, and then he said uneasy: "Then be careful yourself, I'll go to the kitchen right away."

Ling Huaan squatted down, picked up the box, and walked straight to the study room. This is his home, where he has lived for ten years, and no one is more familiar with it than him.Seeing Ling Hua'an entered the study smoothly, Jiang Chengyan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

With Wang Lei's help, Ling Hua'an rearranged the bookshelves, leaving a row for these history books. Ling Hua'an remembered the name and location of each book in his heart.After tidying up the bookshelves, Ling Huaan put away some special things on the desk, lest Jiang Chengyan come in later and find out that the policemen are all standard materialists who don't believe in the existence of gods, ghosts and ghosts. Before the relationship has a breakthrough, it's better not to let him treat himself as a magic stick.

Jiang Chengyan was worried, packed his things in a hurry, and ran to the door of the study, intending to listen carefully to the movement inside, so that he could rush in to help if there was any accident, but he just lay on the door when the door was pulled open, and his body Unsteady, he fell towards Ling Hua'an.

Although Ling Hua'an couldn't see, he had a keen sense. When he opened the door, he already noticed that Jiang Chengyan was outside. Of course, the sudden opening of the door was also intentional.Stretching out his hand to support Jiang Chengyan's body, Ling Huaan said jokingly: "Captain Jiang, are you... throwing yourself into your arms?"

Jiang Chengyan quickly stood up straight, and explained in embarrassment: "I wanted to come over to see if I could help, but I didn't expect you to open the door suddenly, and you didn't stand still..."

Ling Hua'an couldn't bear it anymore, quickly lowered his eyes and asked, "What time is it?"

Jiang Chengyan was startled, took out his phone and looked at it, and said, "10:40, what's wrong?"

"Then let's go to the kitchen, it's time to prepare lunch."

"Okay." Jiang Chengyan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Hua An, why don't you teach me how to cook."

"Okay, but why did Captain Jiang suddenly want to learn this?"

"It's nothing, I just learned that I can cook and eat when I'm at home, it's cleaner and more hygienic than eating outside." Jiang Chengyan said while sneaking a glance at Ling Hua'an.

"You look like a guilty conscience, you can tell you're lying." Wang Lei whispered in Ling Hua'an's ear.

Ling Huaan nodded pretending to be disappointed, and said, "So that's the case, I thought Team Jiang was going to cook it for me."

"As long as you like, I can make it for you." Jiang Chengyan's face burned badly.

Ling Huaan approached Jiang Chengyan, pushed him close to the corner, pressed his palms against his chest, and said, "Captain Jiang, why is your heart beating so fast, are you sick?"

"No...no." Looking at Ling Hua'an who was close at hand, Jiang Chengyan forgot to breathe nervously, a sense of suffocation surged, and his whole face turned red from being suffocated.

"Boss, if you don't let go, he will suffocate himself to death."

Ling Hua'an stopped teasing him, and distanced the two of them, saying, "What does Captain Jiang want to eat?"

"I'll go to the bathroom first." Jiang Chengyan hurried out of the kitchen, walked into the bathroom, closed and locked the door, panting heavily.

"Look at how promising he is." Wang Lei laughed unceremoniously.

Ling Hua'an looked at Wang Lei, and said lightly, "Today you take a vacation, go out and play by yourself, and go to the store to find me directly at eight o'clock in the evening."

Wang Lei was startled, looked in the direction of the bathroom, then at Ling Hua'an, and said with a smile, "Sure, then I wish the boss gets what he wants."

In the bathroom, Jiang Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Jiang Chengyan, oh Jiang Chengyan, look at how promising you are!"

After washing his face and calming down, Jiang Chengyan opened the door and walked to the kitchen.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ling Huaan turned his head to look at Jiang Chengyan and said, "Captain Jiang, what do you want to eat?"

"I bought fish and processed it. You can teach me how to make fish with pickled cabbage. I heard from Lu Hao last time that this is your specialty." Jiang Chengyan paused, and then said, "Hua An, don't call me Team Jiang from now on. , just call me Cheng Yan."

Ling Hua'an said kindly: "Okay, it seems that Cheng Yan didn't eat it last time, and he is a little bit bitter."

Jiang Chengyan's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment that his thoughts had been exposed.But he didn't deny it quickly like before, but let out an honest 'um'. Although his voice was soft, Ling Hua'an had indeed heard Jiang Chengyan's response.

Now Ling Huaan was stunned, he never expected Jiang Chengyan to react like this.But he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Then Chengyan took out the fish, and I'll teach you how to do it."

"Okay." Jiang Chengyan opened the refrigerator and took out the sliced ​​fish.

Ling Huaan took out a small basin for washing vegetables from the cupboard, handed it to Jiang Chengyan and said, "Pour the fish in it, rinse it with clean water several times, and rinse off the blood stains. Then put a spoonful of salt in the clean water, and put the fish fillets in one piece. Scrub one by one and wash it into a transparent shape, so that the fish fillets taste better and look more beautiful."

"Okay." Jiang Chengyan took the basin and followed suit. Although he knew Ling Huaan couldn't see him, Jiang Chengyan felt nervous as long as he was by his side. He fumbled for a while before washing the fish fillets in the basin into a transparent state.He let out a long breath and said, "Hua An, I've done it, what should I do next?"

"Empty the water first, then add cooking wine, light soy sauce, raw powder, white pepper..."

Jiang Chengyan looked around but couldn't find a bottle of seasoning, so he had to interrupt Ling Huaan and said, "Hua An, where are these seasonings stored?"

Ling Huaan was taken aback, pointed to the position slightly above Jiang Chengyan's front, and said, "It's all here, and there are labels on it."

Jiang Chengyan looked at the bottles and cans next to the chopstick cage, and his face was hot. He just looked at the stove and didn't look up at all.

Sensing Jiang Chengyan's emotions, Ling Huaan explained with a smile: "Generally, people's seasonings are basically placed on the stove or in the cupboard. Because I am blind, Yan Yu is afraid that I will not pay attention to the burn, and is afraid of putting it in the cupboard. I couldn’t find it anywhere, so I made this shelf specially.”

Jiang Chengyan felt sour when he heard this, and said dryly: "Yan Yu is really careful."

A smile flashed in Ling Huaan's eyes, he nodded and said, "Well, he is indeed very careful, and he takes care of many things that I can't think of, and he takes care of them very well."

"Your relationship is really enviable. Hua An, how did you meet Yan Yu?"

"By chance, I did him a favor and we became friends after that."

"That's it." Ling Huaan's slightly perfunctory answer made Jiang Chengyan even more uncomfortable. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "What seasoning should I put? Hua An, please say it again. "

"Three spoonfuls of cooking wine, three spoonfuls of light soy sauce, one tablespoon of raw powder, one small spoonful of white pepper, and finally put an egg white in."

"Three spoons of cooking wine, three spoons of light soy sauce..." Putting all the seasonings into the basin, Jiang Chengyan was worried while holding the egg, and said, "Hua An, do you only need egg whites for this egg?"

Ling Huaan nodded, and said with a smile: "Use a chopstick to poke a hole in the egg, flick the hole downward, and the white of the egg will come out. Remember not to pour out the yolk."

Jiang Chengyan followed carefully. Although it was the first time, he still succeeded. He turned around excitedly and said, "Hua An, I succeeded, only egg white..."

Ling Huaan was very close to him, so close that only his slightly thin lips were left in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, forming a gentle smile.The lips are very moist, as if they have just drank water, the lip color is a little light, but it is indescribably beautiful.Jiang Chengyan unconsciously thought of the casual kiss a few days ago, his heartbeat, which was still calm just now, started to speed up, and his breathing also became rapid.

"Bang bang" heartbeat sounded endlessly, Ling Huaan smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"No...nothing?" Jiang Chengyan came back to his senses, hurriedly looked away, and said incoherently: "The egg yolk, no, the egg white, I have already beaten it in, what should I do with the egg yolk?"

Ling Huaan approached Jiang Chengyan, and whispered in his ear: "Chengyan, are you asking what to do next?"

The warm breath swept over the earlobe, and the white ears were instantly stained with crimson. Jiang Chengyan subconsciously avoided it, and stammered, "Hua... Hua An, that... stand a little farther away, I'm afraid it will get on you .”

"Oh, good." Ling Huaan took a step back.

The temperature behind him disappeared, Jiang Chengyan heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little disappointed. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly saw a pair of slender hands passing through his arms and circling in front of him. warm chest.

Jiang Chengyan froze, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and said helplessly, "Hua An, you... what are you doing?"

Feeling the stiffness of the body in his arms, the smile in Ling Hua'an's eyes grew stronger, and he said in a natural tone: "I'll forget if you don't tell me, I'll tie your apron for you."

Jiang Chengyan looked down, and sure enough, he saw Ling Huaan holding an apron in his right hand, but it was just a matter of position, he didn't see it clearly just now.Hands around him retreated behind him, a light blue apron was wrapped around his waist, and his warm chest was also distanced from him, Jiang Chengyan felt lost in his heart.Noticing the change in his mood and understanding the expectations in his heart, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then blushed and scolded himself for being dirty.

"Chengyan, Chengyan, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Hua'an's slightly puzzled voice came from behind, Jiang Chengyan felt even more embarrassed, and his face turned redder, he said nonchalantly, "It's okay. That Hua'an, the seasoning is ready, what should I do next?"

"Stir well with chopsticks and let it stand for 20 minutes."

……

After doing this for nearly two hours with one meal, Jiang Chengyan's heartbeat was like a roller coaster ride. If it wasn't for his strong heart, he might not be able to bear it.

Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, Jiang Chengyan was full of a sense of accomplishment, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, put it into Ling Huaan's bowl, and said expectantly: "Hua'an, try it, how does my pickled fish taste?" Sample?"

Ling Hua'an touched with his hands, found the place of the bowl, picked up the bowl and picked it up with chopsticks, ate the fish and rice together, chewed it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "It tastes good, you can do it for the first time. It’s already good enough.”

Seeing Ling Huaan's actions, Jiang Chengyan felt distressed for a while. He couldn't see, and he could only grope for food, but he had developed a good cooking skill. It took many injuries to achieve this step. .

"Hua An, what do you want to eat, I'll get it for you."

"It's all right, I'm not picky eaters, I'll eat whatever you put in."

Jiang Chengyan was taken aback for a moment, always feeling that there was an inexplicable light in Ling Huaan's eyes, making him a little uncomfortable.

After the meal, the two of them hardly talked, it was really just what Jiang Chengyan put in and what Ling Huaan ate.That kind of trust gave Jiang Chengyan an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Although the two had no communication, he always felt that their relationship was getting closer.

After the meal, Ling Hua'an insisted on washing the dishes, Jiang Chengyan could only quickly clean all the knives in the kitchen, and then gave up the position of the sink.

Ling Huaan said helplessly: "You will make me feel that I am making trouble for no reason."

"I didn't mean that, I just...don't want you to get hurt."

Ling Huaan asked casually: "Cheng Yan is so gentle and has good conditions in all aspects, what kind of partner do you want to find in the future?"

Jiang Chengyan stole a glance at Ling Hua'an, then glanced away guiltily, and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as... as long as your heart is moved, who is the other party, and what are the conditions, these are not a problem."

"Then according to what you said, if the other party is ugly or has defects, you don't mind?"

"I don't mind!" Jiang Chengyan replied without thinking, "As long as my heart is moved, even if the other party is a man, I can accept it."

Ling Huaan could hear the hint in Jiang Chengyan's words clearly, but pretended to be surprised and said: "If you really like a man, what if your family disagrees? After all, people have limited tolerance for falling in love with men."

Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Huaan and said seriously: "As long as we love each other, I don't care about other people's attitudes. Just like the previous case, Jiang Changping and Kong Fangmingming loved each other so much, but because of Jiang Changping's cowardice, they ended up like that , I don’t want to be like him and regret it until I die. I want to hold on to my happiness tightly.”

"You're right. It's not easy to meet someone you like in the vast crowd. If you ruin your happiness because of other people's attitude, that's stupid. If you like it, go after it. Even if there is no result in the end, at least you won't regret it."

"Hmm." Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Huaan, and asked tentatively, "Hua An, you said last time that you already have someone you like, did you confess your love?"

Ling Huaan shook his head, and said, "I'm a soft-hearted person, and I can't stand rejection from others, so take it slowly. If that person doesn't take the initiative to speak out, then we will continue to maintain our friendship."

"Then what if he hasn't felt that you like him?"

Ling Huaan turned his head to look at Jiang Chengyan, and said, "I think I've made it very obvious. If he hasn't noticed, it means he doesn't like me, so I'll give up. After all, I just like it, and it hasn't arrived yet." degree of love."

"It's good for you to think so." Jiang Chengyan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, praying in his heart that the person would not notice, completely ignoring Ling Hua'an's hint.

Ling Hua'an turned his head and sighed helplessly in his heart. He was speechless about Jiang Chengyan's EQ and had to reevaluate.

"Chengyan, go get a pair of gloves from the cabinet above the bathroom, and I'll clean the sewer."

"Okay, then wait a minute."

Hearing the sound of Jiang Chengyan's leaving footsteps, Ling Huaan slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, held the faucet with both hands and twisted it vigorously, then pulled it up, the faucet was pulled out all of a sudden, he turned on the water pipe, and the water flowed upwards He jumped, splashing water all over him.

"Chengyan, Chengyan, come and help."

Hearing Ling Huaan's shout, Jiang Chengyan ran over in a hurry. Seeing that Ling Huaan was covered in water, he stepped forward, blocked him with his body, carefully protected him out of the kitchen, and asked with concern: "Hua An, what's the matter?" What happened, are you injured?"

Ling Huaan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what's wrong, the faucet suddenly fell off, maybe it's loose, you go and turn it off, don't waste water."

"Okay, just stand here and don't move, I'll shut him down."

Jiang Chengyan rushed into the kitchen and turned off the faucet. Even if he moved quickly, he couldn't stop the pervasive water flow. The white shirt was mostly wet, and even his pants were not spared.Regardless of the embarrassment on his body, he reconnected the faucet and tried it again. After confirming that it was firm, he was relieved.

Jiang Chengyan came to the living room, but Ling Huaan was nowhere to be seen. He called out suspiciously: "Hua An, Hua An?"

"I'm in the bedroom, wait a minute."

Following the sound, he came to the bedroom door and found that the door was only ajar. Jiang Chengyan looked in subconsciously, but then hurriedly glanced away, and whispered: "Jiang Chengyan, Jiang Chengyan, you are the captain of the criminal investigation team, how can you act like a peeping man?" Come on!"

In the bedroom, Ling Hua'an was standing by the bed, holding clothes in his hands, listening to the movement at the door, feeling helpless.He fumbled and threw the phone on the ground, and then whispered: "Oh."

"Hua An, what are you..." Hearing the noise, Jiang Chengyan hurriedly opened the door and came in. When he saw Ling Huaan who was naked to the waist, his words stopped abruptly.Wide shoulders and narrow hips, perfect body proportions, and even eight-pack abs, Jiang Chengyan's eyes moved down...

"Chengyan, I dropped my phone, you pick it up for me, I'll change clothes."

Jiang Chengyan hurriedly looked away, and said in a panic, "Okay, okay, I'll pick it up for you."

Jiang Chengyan came to the bed with his head down, picked up the mobile phone on the ground, and when he looked up again, Ling Huaan had already changed his clothes.He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed. He shook off the messy thoughts in his head, put the phone into Ling Huaan's hand, and said, "Hua An, here, your phone."

Ling Huaan threw the phone on the bed, touched Jiang Chengyan's clothes, and said, "Chengyan, your clothes are wet too, go take a shower and change."
