?? The curtains of the room were not drawn, and the afternoon sunlight came in from the window and fell on the white bed, reflecting a hazy silhouette.

??Duan Yu'an lowered his head and kissed Qi Le. He grabbed Qi Le's wrist with one hand, and slowly pulled the elastic cord with the other hand.

??Qi Le couldn't move, he tilted his neck slightly, his breathing was short, and his mind was blank.

?? His skin is fair, and it turns red when he bites lightly, his eyes are full of mist, and his whole body is trembling violently.

?? Just when Duan Yu'an's hand was about to grope somewhere, the mobile phone placed aside suddenly turned dead, and the piercing ringtone cut through the ambiguity in the air, and woke up the confused two people .

?? Duan Yuan suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at the man with his collar open and his cheeks flushed with blood, and cursed in his heart.

??The child is still sick, so he can't do this.

?? Duan Yu'an withdrew his hand resentfully, he lifted his bangs back, and after a few seconds of deep self-reflection, he got up to get his phone.

??Cao Min called in: "The personal interview is arranged at [-] o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow. Is this time okay?"

??Duan Yuan wore a down jacket, opened the balcony door and went out. The cold wind blew him awake again.

??"Can."

??Cao Min did not hear the abnormality in Emperor A's tone, and reported other work arrangements. When he finally hung up the phone, someone had already stood on the balcony for nearly 10 minutes.

?? The desire, desire and impulse of a moment ago were blown away by the cold wind.

?? Duan Yuan gathered his thoughts, went back to the room, sat by the bed and asked Qi Le: "There is a hot spring behind the villa, do you want to go soak?"

??Qi Le's face was still red, he half-closed his eyelids and didn't dare to look at Duan Yu'an, and in a mosquito-like voice, he said intermittently: "Go... But, you, you don't want to continue, what happened just now?"

?? The crooked thoughts that Duan Yuan had finally suppressed were almost kicked up by this sentence again.

??A certain child's ability to set fire is still top-notch.

?? Duan Yuan closed his eyes and calmed down again for a few seconds, rubbed Qi Le's hair, and said, "Baby, this matter..."

??He took a deep breath, paused, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Don't be in a hurry...we will continue after your illness is cured."

??Duan Yu'an is not a gentleman. He has guarded himself like a jade for 26 years, and finally he fell in love with someone.

??The reason why he endured it was really because of Qi Le's illness.

??It is true that, as team doctor Fang said, when children are in front of them, their mood swings are indeed greater than usual.

??But compared with normal people, after all, it is still too much worse.

??Because of that deficiency, now Qi Le's senses are not sensitive enough, and his emotions don't fluctuate much, so it's extremely easy to ignore many small things.

??Considering this point, Duan Yuan did not continue.

?? Emotions are equal. He didn't want him to be the only one enjoying it when the two of them mingle with each other.

??Qi Le raised his eyes from under the quilt, his expression looked like he was about to cry, he hesitated for a long time and whispered: "I... I'm fine."

??"real……"

??The child's thoughts are all written on his face, which is quite easy to guess.Duan Yu'an could tell at a glance that this person was thinking wildly again, he leaned into Qi Le's ear and explained the reason clearly.

?? "Lele, I think you will recall our first time in the future, every second is perfect and happy..."

?? "I don't want you, understand?"

??He took Qi Le's hand and touched himself: "Did you see that, he has been protesting for a long time."

?? "So don't tease me anymore..."

?? Originally, after listening to Duan Yu'an's explanation, Qi Le was both moved and happy.It felt strange to be touched by the fingers suddenly, and now I was only shy.

??He hid under the quilt with a whoosh, and muttered sullenly: "Didn't you say go to the hot spring, go... let's go."

?? Duan Yuan smiled and dragged him out of the quilt: "Let's go soak together."

??.

?? After the two of them soaked in the hot spring, the butler happened to bring the ingredients for dinner.

??Qi Le is wearing a white cotton sweater and plaid pajama pants, which looks very Japanese.He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, fastened his apron, and began to process the ingredients.

??Duan Yu'an walked into the kitchen, seeing Qi Le's home attire, his heart was filled with a warm sense of happiness.

?? He even saw the shadow of [home] in Qi Le.

?? Wherever you are, home is where you are.

?? With a smile in his eyes, Duan Yuan walked behind Qi Le, put his arms around Qi Le's waist, put his chin on his shoulder, and asked, "Honey, what shall we eat tonight?"

??Qi Le turned his head slightly, washed the processed pineapple, and said, "Sweet and sour pork, and hibiscus eggs, and cook a glass dish casually."

?? Sweet and sour pork is a classic dish of Cantonese cuisine. The production process is cumbersome. Because of its sweet and sour taste and bright colors, it is especially suitable for people with picky tastes, so it is very popular among the public.

??Duan Yu'an suffered a big taboo the day before yesterday and vomited all day, but Qi Le found that his illness didn't seem to be greatly affected by it.

??He prepared this appetizer according to the original treatment plan.

??After more than half a month of [treatment], Duan Yu'an is no longer the kitchen novice.He pulled up his sleeve, took the initiative to take over the kitchen operating table, and asked, "How do I do it?"

??Qi Le stepped aside: "Take care of these ingredients first..."

?? Duan Yuan skillfully cut the crispy pineapple into small pieces, and squeezed the sandy tomato into juice with a cooking machine, and put it aside for later use.

?? "After the pork ribs are scorched in hot water, they should be soaked in cold water for 10 minutes. This step is to force out the blood in the bones, so that it will not taste strange."

?? Qi Le not only simply told Duan Yuan the steps of cooking, but also explained to him the reason for doing so.

??While waiting for the ribs to drain, Qi Le taught Duan Yu'an how to steam Furong eggs correctly.

?? "Stainless steel pots cannot be used for steaming hibiscus eggs, otherwise the uneven heating will affect the taste."

?? "The ratio of water to eggs is one to one. After adding salt and mixing, be sure to filter out the foam with a filter, so that the steamed eggs will be smooth."

?? "By the way, don't forget to cover it with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes on it with a toothpick. Finally, remember to put cold water in the pot and steam for 10 minutes."

?? "After it is out of the pan, drizzle with soy sauce and peanut oil while it is hot."

??Duan Yuan never knew that an ordinary hibiscus egg could be made with so much care.

?? He adjusted the timer and sighed: "I always think that steamed eggs are the easiest dish in the world to cook."

??So easy that it can't even be used to entertain important guests.

?? But now after such a round of operations, Duan Yuan felt that the Furong eggs could be carried directly into the state banquet restaurant.

?? VIP-level treatment.

??Qi Le rinsed the bloody pork ribs and wrapped them in flour. In order to prevent Duan Yuan from being exposed to oily fumes, he specially used an air fryer.

??He pressed the start button and said: "In fact, every dish, starting from the ingredients, is destined to be not easy. Don't underestimate this egg. Even when you look at ordinary boiled eggs, you are extremely particular about the heat." .”

?? "If you boil it for a long time, the egg white will be too hard and the yolk will be too dry, or if you put it in boiling water, the egg will crack easily..."

?? "The hot spring eggs are more particular. Without a few years of experience in boiling eggs, it is impossible to make perfect hot spring eggs..."

?? "Each ingredient has its own temper and characteristics. A qualified chef must be patient to understand the ingredients in order to know what cooking method is most suitable for them."

??…

??Duan Yuan nodded with a half-smile, he liked to watch Qi Le talk about ingredients.

??Different from the joy and excitement when discussing music, Qi Le at this time is quiet and gentle, like the warm light sun in winter, neither arrogant nor impetuous, but can quietly melt the snow.

??In his eyes, it seems that all the ingredients in this world are alive and have meaning.

?? No one can underestimate them, nor can they treat them arbitrarily.

?? Duan Yu'an thinks that this is probably the real "food is the paramount necessity of the people".

?? At this moment, he finally understood what the meaning of [Eating] was.

??Life is not survival, and [eating] is not just to fill the stomach.

??No matter how busy and hard the day is, you should eat well, don't treat yourself badly, and don't let down the kindness bestowed by God.

?? Unknowingly, Duan Yuan's attitude towards food became more serious.

?? After an hour, dinner was finally ready.

??The surface of the Furong egg is soft and smooth, and it can be scooped off with a spoon. The inside is like pudding, without any air bubbles.

??The crispy fried ribs, wrapped in thick tomato juice, and dotted with the aroma of ripe pineapple, can almost seduce people's greedy bugs directly from the stomach.

??Duan Yu'an was amazed. He couldn't believe that this dish was made by himself. He even ate two big bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks.

??Qi Le is also very happy. According to this progress, he can try more heavy-tasting food.

??And, there was another thing that surprised Qi Le.

??Probably influenced by his good mood, it was rare for him to eat without soy sauce today. The white and soft glutinous rice chewed in his mouth. Although it still had no taste, he seemed to have tasted the sweetness in his heart.

?? After dinner, Duan Yuan took Qi Le to take a walk in the woods next to the villa while the moon was still shining.

??Because Qi Le took the initiative to talk about his illness, the two chatted on this topic.

??Qi Le said lightly: "My illness probably started after my mother passed away..."

??About the memory fragment of the day when his mother committed suicide, Qi Le tried hard to recall, but every time he could only think of a sea of ​​blood, nothing else.

?? "I asked my grandfather later, and he said that he didn't know what happened to me and my mother that day."

?? "All he said was that we were both lying on the ground dying when he heard the commotion coming up..."

?? "After finishing my mother's funeral, I went back to Shenzhen to study alone. For a long time after that, I kept having a nightmare repeatedly. In the dream, my mother was chasing me crazily with a bloody knife .”

?? "I kept saying 'it's all your fault'..."

?? That nightmare was so real that Qi Le always wondered whether such a thing really happened in that missing memory—his mother wanted to kill him.

?? But... why do you say it was his fault?

??Qi Le didn't understand.

?? "That nightmare made me very confused. At that time, I lived alone in my house in Shenzhen. It was empty everywhere, and there was no one to talk to."

??Not only did he have no one to talk to, even Qi Le couldn't find anyone to vent his hatred on.

??His mother left, and his father also left. The two left completely without saying goodbye.

??Qi Le sometimes even thinks to the extreme, this world has abandoned him, so what reason does he have to continue to stay in this world?

??Human nature seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. He has been self-enclosed for a long time. When Qi Le himself didn't realize it, his instinct had already hidden all his emotions.

??Refused to communicate with the outside world, refused to communicate with anyone.

??If you don't give expectations, you won't get hurt again.

??Until his grandfather took him back to Shiwei Town, until he met Duan Yuan...

??Once the heart that has been dusty for a long time is opened, it is not so easy to close it again.

??Having felt the warmth of light again, who wants to fall back into darkness again.

??…

??After listening to the children's past, Duan Yu was silent for a long time.

??These words are different from what Zhou Man heard. They are heavier and more distressing.

??Suddenly he didn't want Qi Le to go for treatment.

?? To cure this disease, it means that children must remember the missing memory.

?? What if... that nightmare is really that memory fragment?

?? Duan Yuan didn't dare to think about it.

?? This is really too cruel.

??He finally understands why children are always worrying about gains and losses, always worrying that they will leave him.

?? This person has experienced too much parting and loneliness, and has become a frightened bird.

??Duan Yuan put Qi Le's hand in his pocket to warm it, and said in a hoarse voice, "Honey, otherwise, let's not treat this disease."

?? He thinks the current situation of the child is quite good.

??enough.

?? Qi Le shook his head: "No..."

?? "I have been a puppet for four years, and I can't live like this for the rest of my life."

??Qi Le remembered something, and his voice gradually lowered: "And... didn't you say during the day that we have to wait for my illness to recover... before we can... that..."

??Duan Yu'an was caught off guard and was poked into the softest part of his heart. He couldn't help but laugh. Facing Qi Le like this, what else could he say?

"Two days ago, there was a woman named Team Doctor Fang who had been eating at the same table as us. Do you have any impression?"

??Qi Le nodded: "Yes."

?? "She is the accompanying team doctor of our Seeker. She happened to have studied psychology, so she can help you treat it."

?? Duan Yu'an was still thinking about Qi Le's rejection of the doctor: "You don't have to force yourself too much. If it's really not good, we can take our time."

??Qi Le: "I will work hard to overcome it."

?? Duan Yu'an: "Okay then, when we return to Chengdu tomorrow, we'll go find her."

??The next day, Chengdu Hotel.

?? As soon as Duan Yuan parked the car, Cao Min called: "Have you returned yet? The interview will start in two hours, and Xiao Lin is already waiting for you in the room."

??Duan Yuan glanced at Qi Le and said, "We're at the parking lot, wait for me for another half an hour."

??Cao Min casually asked: "Why?"

?? "I have something to do with Fang team doctor."

??Fang Xiaoqi had already learned about Qi Le from Duan Yuana on WeChat in advance.

??In order to make the patient feel at ease, she changed into a set of comfortable home clothes for the first time today. Her hair is loose and loose, and she looks a lot more approachable.

??During the psychological consultation, outsiders are not allowed. Duan Yuan sent Qi Le to the door of Fang Xiaoqi's room, reluctantly said: "I'm downstairs, call me anytime if you need anything."

?? "I'll fly up to find you right away."

??Fang Xiaoqi rolled her eyes in her heart, saying this as if she was an unscrupulous doctor.

?? "Don't worry, it's just a simple chat, nothing will happen."

??Fang Xiaoqi assured him in a low voice: "I will definitely return you an intact Dr. Qi."

??Duan Yuan felt relieved and went downstairs for an interview.

??The author has something to say: [No matter how hard and tired you are, don’t forget to treat yourself well]

?? Today, did you eat well?
