classmate engagement

Since Shao Yuandong came too early, the three of them could only go to buy hot pot ingredients together.

Cheng Yan left the car in the studio, and went to the supermarket together in Jiang Muping's car.Jiang Muping pressed the key to unlock the car, and after the lights flashed, Shao Yuandong subconsciously opened the door of the passenger seat.

He forgot for a moment that Jiang Muping was now a married person, and his legal husband was standing beside him.

Seeing Shao Yuandong sitting in the passenger seat, Chengyan opened the rear door. He was about to get in, but Shao Yuandong quickly realized that something was wrong. He paused, and retracted the leg that stepped into the car.

"I forgot that Jan's husband is still here,?" Shao Yuandong smiled, "It's because I have no eyesight."

Jiang Muping glanced at him.

Shao Yuandong called Cheng Yan his "wife" in front of Jiang Muping, but in front of Cheng Yan, he became "Mr."

It is very exquisite.

"It's okay, just sit there,? I'll sit in the back." Cheng Yan said and sat in the back seat.

Shao Yuandong didn't give in any more, and sat down in the passenger seat generously.

Sitting in the car, Cheng Yan saw Jiang Muping walking to the back seat with a paper bag through the car window.Jiang Muping opened the car door, bent over and leaned in, and put the paper bag with the sweater in the back seat.

Cheng Yan glanced at the paper bag, raised his head and looked at him for a few seconds, and said quickly and in a low voice, "I will give it to you personally from now on."

Jiang Muping didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

Along the way, Chengyan didn't talk much, just looked out the window quietly, and didn't participate in the conversation between Shao Yuandong and Jiang Muping. Shao Yuandong felt that he was still the same as before, with a dull personality.

Jiang Muping wasn't the kind of bluff either,? Shao Yuandong didn't know how they could chat normally.

How boring this married life is.

The car was parked in the underground garage, and the three of them took the elevator to the supermarket. Cheng Yan asked Shao Yuandong, "Do you eat spicy food?"

"I can eat it, but I can't eat too spicy."

Cheng Yan nodded: "Then make it slightly spicy."

Shao Yuandong lived abroad for a long time, and he hadn't met Jiang Muping for many years, but now that they met, they had a pleasant conversation.During the period, he was worried that he would overwhelm the host and affect the conversation between Chengyan and Jiang Muping, so he restrained himself a little and didn't say much.

But when he shut up, none of them spoke.

If he had known that he would witness such an embarrassing scene if he came to buy ingredients with him, he would rather sit in the car.

Shao Yuandong shook his head involuntarily, thinking: The marriage that Jiang Muping wanted to manage well, from the current point of view, is too much of a failure.

I don't know what to do with this marriage, it's just a crime.

Chengyan and Jiang Muping walked side by side, keeping a certain distance between them. They really didn't look very close. If they didn't wear the same ring on their ring fingers, no one would think that they were legitimate and legal partners.

Jiang Muping took a box of hot pot ingredients from the shelf, looked at the date, Chengyan saw it, walked over and said, "Don't buy this."

"Don't buy it?" Jiang Muping looked puzzled, "How can I make hot pot if I don't buy it?"

“You can fry the bottom of the hot pot by yourself.”

Jiang Muping groaned, and put the box of hot pot ingredients back.

"You are so good at cooking?" Shao Yuandong raised his eyebrows, "Can you even stir-fry hot pot bottom ingredients?"

"It's not difficult." Cheng Yan said.

"I remember that Jan's cooking was terrible, not much better than what I ate in England," Shao Yuandong complained, "Chengyan, you should be the one who cooks at home."

"Professor Jiang does it occasionally."

Shao Yuandong asked the same question as Mother Jiang: "Why do you call him that?"

"Is there any problem?" Jiang Muping asked.

"No problem," Shao Yuandong shrugged, leaned closer to Jiang Muping's ear, lowered his voice, and said rudely, "I won't call you that when I'm on the bed."

Jiang Muping gave him a sideways glance, Cheng Yan frowned slightly, and looked at them blankly.

Shao Yuandong didn't think there would be such an interest between Jiang Muping and Chengyan, he even suspected that they had never experienced sex at all.He just said casually, wanting to see Jiang Muping's reaction.

Jiang Muping's expression didn't change.Of course Cheng Yan called him Professor Jiang in bed, but it was not the same thing as what Shao Yuandong said.

But Jiang Muping just likes to say some specious things, he replied: "Yes."

"Why do I not believe it so much?" Shao Yuandong smiled. In fact, he knew Jiang Muping better than Cheng Yan, and he knew that Jiang Muping was weak in his bones.

In Chengyan's eyes, Jiang Muping is perfect, upright and gentle, compassionate and generous, he will love everyone, and will marry him for this kind of "love".

Cheng Yan is blind. Although he said that Jiang Muping was bad, he felt that Jiang Muping's soul was pure and flawless.

Shao Yuandong has known Jiang Muping longer than Cheng Yan, and he has a more comprehensive understanding of Jiang Muping. In his opinion, it is true that Jiang Muping has a gentle and good character, but he likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

Jiang Muping's speciousness really caught the attention of Yan, and his expression became anxious, and he wanted to ask something, but he didn't open his mouth.

After a while, Cheng Yan took the initiative to explain: "I'm used to calling him that."

"Very good," Shao Yuandong smiled, "I call him that when I'm happy."

Cheng Yan thought in his heart that I still called him baby when I was happy, he wanted to go back to Shao Yuandong like this, but felt that these words were full of jealousy.

Professor Jiang is not his exclusive title, so many of Jiang Muping's students will call him that.

After buying the ingredients, they went home. It is more convenient to make hot pot. After frying the base ingredients, wash and cut the ingredients, they can wait for the pot.

Shao Yuandong heard from Jiang Muping that Cheng Yan likes to drink, so he brought him a bottle of good wine today, Cheng Yan thanked him, and put the wine in the wine cabinet.Jiang Muping doesn't drink, the expensive wine in the wine cabinet is all diagenetic.

Cheng Yan drank coke by himself, made black tea for Jiang Muping, and added a slice of fresh lemon after cooling down.

Cheng Yan has a virtuous personality that does not match his personality, and has the attributes of a married woman. He takes good care of Jiang Muping in every aspect.

Shao Yuandong suddenly felt that Jiang Muping was very lucky.

Although the communication between the two may not be that harmonious, at least Cheng Yan is attractive and capable, making him a good marriage partner.

Cheng Yan asked Shao Yuandong what he would like to drink.

"I'll just drink plain water," Shao Yuandong asked, "Don't you want some wine?"

Cheng Yan shook his head: "I still have to work tomorrow."

Chengyan stood and put vegetables in the pot, looked down at Jiang Muping, and asked, "Can you make a sauce for you?"

Jiang Muping looked up at him, "I'll adjust it myself."

"Is it well tuned?" Cheng Yan sat down, not having much confidence in Jiang Muping.

Jiang Muping's tune is not good.

In fact, he seldom eats hot pot, and he doesn't like it because it is easy to get the smell on his body.

They bought a lot of ready-made sauces, Jiang Muping picked out a few cans that he liked, scooped out two spoonfuls with a spoon, and stirred them together.

Among them is bean paste, which is very salty. Jiang Muping only knows that stir-frying with bean paste can increase the flavor, but he doesn't know that eating it alone can kill people.He sandwiched the cooked fat beef with a little seasoning, and his face turned green after eating it.

Jiang Muping choked so salty, tilted his head and coughed: "Ahem..."

Cheng Yan laughed, the first smile he showed today in front of Shao Yuandong, an outsider.

Jiang Muping's face was reddish, and he took the cold water Chengyan poured for him, "Why is it so salty?"

"Doubanjiang is for stir-frying."

"It's too salty." Jiang Muping frowned slightly.

Shao Yuandong put a piece of hairy belly into the pot, and said with a joke: "Such a smart brain is used to study, and the academic attainment is so high, why is it so hard to cook a meal?"

Cheng Yan took a sip of Coca-Cola and quietly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Cooking also requires talent," Jiang Muping said, "I don't have any."

Afterwards, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. In fact, they can't remember clearly what happened in high school, after all, nearly 20 years have passed.

But some things still leave a deep impression on me, such as the sudden disappearance of Chengyan in the middle of his third year of high school.

Shao Yuandong didn't know about the sufferings of Cheng Yan's youth, he only thought that he had transferred to another school, and asked casually, "Why did you leave suddenly? Did you transfer to another school?"

"No," Cheng Yan fished some enoki mushrooms into the bowl, "I dropped out of school."

Shao Yuandong paused his hand holding the chopsticks, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Dropping out of school?"

"I have no money to go to school." Cheng Yan explained plainly.

Shao Yuandong remembered that the conditions in Chengyan's family seemed to be really bad, but they couldn't afford to go to school, right?

Shao Yuandong glanced at Jiang Muping, wondering if he should continue this topic.

Seeing his hesitant expression of wanting to ask, Cheng Yan took the initiative to explain: "At that time, my mother committed suicide, and no one supported me to study."

Cheng Yan missed a word - not only was no one supporting him to study, but he had to support his younger brother to grow up.

Shao Yuandong's eyes widened slightly in shock, he felt stuck in his throat, and did not continue this topic.

Shao Yuandong couldn't help casting another glance in Jiang Muping's direction.

Jiang Muping must know this.

Chengyan's experience is as complicated as his own, and Jiang Muping is overflowing with sympathy——

Shao Yuandong thought he had found the reason why Jiang Muping married Chengyan.

The phone rang, interrupting Shao Yuandong's wrong thoughts.

Shao Yuandong connected the phone, and a childish voice came from the phone: "papa."

Shao Yuandong looked at the phone screen and smiled with his eyes bent.

There was a child's voice on the phone, asking Shao Yuandong in English when he would be back.

Shao Yuandong also replied in English: "Father is eating at a friend's house and will be back in a while."

"My daughter." Shao Yuandong turned over the phone and showed them.

On the screen of the mobile phone was a little girl with black eyes and curly hair. She had deep brows and eyes, but her face was chubby.

Cheng Yan couldn't help laughing: "Mixed blood?"

"Yes, my wife is a foreigner." Shao Yuandong spoke English: "Say hello to my uncles."

The little baby waved his fleshy hand to greet Chengyan and the others, and Chengyan also waved at the screen.

Shao Yuandong turned the phone screen to himself, said a few words in English, and then hung up the phone.

Cheng Yan looked confused, and couldn't help sighing: "You already have children."

Shao Yuandong laughed: "I'm already 35, is it strange to have children?"

Cheng Yan is also 35, but he just married Jiang Muping.He and Jiang Muping may have love, but they will not have children.

Cheng Yan was in a daze, feeling his little finger was touched lightly, he turned his head to meet Jiang Muping's warm eyes.

"Make the sauce for me." Jiang Muping held a clean dish in his hand.

The corners of Cheng Yan's mouth were slightly raised, and he took the dishes.

"Don't you want me to adjust it?"

"I was wrong about myself."

After eating the hot pot, Jiang Muping was in charge of washing the dishes, Cheng Yan didn't go to the kitchen to see him, and smoked on the balcony by himself.

Shao Yuandong glanced at his cold back, turned his head and walked into the kitchen.

"Aren't you tired from twisting like this?" Shao Yuandong suddenly asked Jiang Muping.

Jiang Muping raised his head.

Shao Yuandong lowered his volume: "I'm tired looking at it. Is this marriage necessary? Is it because of Chengyan's chaotic past?"

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Muping frowned.

"I understand you, Jan. Do you feel sorry for him? He is doing well now, and you don't need to sacrifice your marriage to provide him with a home."

Shao Yuandong knew Jiang Muping very well, at least he explained half of the reason.

"Why should I feel sorry for him?" Jiang Muping's eyes became stern, "According to what you said, I could marry him when I was in high school."

"You—" Shao Yuandong was tongue-tied, unable to refute and had to say something: "You fucked up, married in high school, and they sue you for abducting minors."

"Don't worry about my family's affairs." Jiang Muping became a little angry.

"I'm not thinking of you?" Shao Yuandong was also annoyed, "Look at the state you are in together, you can freeze me into an ice sculpture, you know?"

Jiang Muping was tired of explaining, they broke up unhappy, and Shao Yuandong walked out of the kitchen with wind on his feet before the dishes were washed.

Cheng Yan was smoking a cigarette by the window, when he heard the movement, he turned around.

"you are leaving?"

Shao Yuandong was changing his shoes and looked up at Cheng Yan.

With a cigarette in his hand, Cheng Yan leaned lazily against the window sill.He has a very attractive and beautiful face, which is Jiang Muping's favorite type.

Shao Yuandong secretly scolded Jiang Muping for being a dog.

"Well, I'm going back to take care of the children." Shao Yuandong smiled, "Thank you for the hospitality, next time I invite you, I will leave first."

Cheng Yan nodded with a cigarette between his fingers: "Be careful on the road."

As soon as Shao Yuandong left, Jiang Muping came out of the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yan sensed something was wrong, "Did you two quarrel?"

"No, leave him alone." Jiang Muping came over with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and his hands were wet.

Cheng Yan pinched off the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, then picked up the paper bag on the coffee table, "Try it." He handed the paper bag to Jiang Muping.

Jiang Muping dried his hands with a paper towel and went to the bedroom to change into a sweater.When he walked out of the bedroom, Cheng Yan's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, you have to wear it on your body to see the type of publication.

Pure white, very pure.

High collar and very sexy.

Cheng Yan walked up to Jiang Muping, "Do you like it?"

Jiang Muping hummed.

The pure white fluff looked very soft, and Cheng Yan asked cheekily, "Can I touch it."

"where?"

"I don't know." The nape of the diagenetic neck tends to turn red.

Jiang Muping stopped teasing him, and said with a smile, "Touch it."

Cheng Yan was also polite, and touched Jiang Muping's chest with his hands. The fabric was soft and comfortable to the touch.

Cheng Yan raised his head and smiled coquettishly: "Expensive is expensive for a reason, the material is really comfortable."

Jiang Muping suddenly pressed his hand, "Shao Yuandong thinks our state is very strange."

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe it feels like we're not close enough."

"Why should you show him up close?" Cheng Yan tugged.

Jiang Muping lowered his eyes and smiled.

"He's not here now," Cheng Yan licked his lower lip, "Can I get a little closer?"

Jiang Muping stared at him for a while, then said, "Okay."

Jiang Muping made a hug gesture, Cheng Yan leaned over and leaned into his arms, his face was pressed against the soft and fragrant sweater.

Jiang Muping wrapped him in his arms, holding him very tenderly.
