You should eat hot pot in winter.

"Ah, Teacher Qi, long time no see." Zhou Er was very surprised by the other party's arrival.

The person who came was Qi Lingyun from the same research institute.

The relationship between the two is half-baked.When Zhou Nian first joined the company, Qi Lingyun often came to have dinner with him, and soon he went overseas as a visiting scholar.

At first, I often sent him some messages, but he didn't like chatting on the mobile phone very much, and he rarely replied, and later the other party didn't send much.

Recalling the intersection with the other party in the past, Zhou Tian felt that this person was even more strange.

Seeing that he didn't reach out to take the things in his hand, Qi Lingyun lifted it up and passed it in front of him, and asked, "Can I go in and have a seat?"

"Thank you for the gift, it's too troublesome." Zhou Tian raised his hand to take it, and was already thinking about what gift to give in return.

An angry "can't" came from behind, Zhou Twenties restrained his urge to turn around and talk to Ershi, and said to Qi Lingyun, "I'm sorry, I just happened to be going out for lunch."

Qi Lingyun didn't mind either, instead he said, "That's just right, we haven't seen each other for so long, shall we have a meal together?"

Zhou Twenty was a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to refuse, so he said, "I'll put the things away first."

"En." Qi Lingyun nodded, "I'll wait for you here."

When Zhou Ershi turned around, he heard Er Shi on the sofa asking him, "Who is this?"

Standing behind him was Qi Lingyun who couldn't see Ershi.Zhou Twenty couldn't speak, so he had to answer this question in his heart.

[A colleague.It's what we work with. 】

Ershi stood up, raised his hand to hold Zhou Twenties's, but thought of someone nearby, put his hand back, and asked coldly, "Are you really going to eat?"

Zhou Er felt a little guilty for no reason.

【possible……】

As he was thinking about something, the movements of his hands became slow, and a bag was left for a long time.

Qi Lingyun didn't urge him, and leaned against the door quietly, looked at him silently for a while before saying, "I heard you're in a relationship?"

"Ah?" Zhou Twenties subconsciously said, "Why did you hear about this as soon as you came back?"

The corners of Qi Lingyun's mouth smiled slightly: "We are in love, of course we know."

In fact, when he was still abroad, Chang Lin's big mouth told him.

Zhou Twenty maintained the same statement in front of outsiders: "It's love."

His short-circuited brain finally remembered how to refuse the other party's invitation: "I'm really sorry, I have to go home for lunch, and I can't eat with you."

Qi Lingyun didn't leave, but stood fixedly at the door, and suddenly closed the door behind his back, asking softly, "Is it a girlfriend or a boyfriend?"

Zhou Tian is not such a dull person, upon hearing this, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Qi Lingyun's previous behaviors that made him feel strange have been explained.Whether it’s to buy desserts for him if you have nothing to do, or you always come to eat with him when you’re not familiar with him, or you share your daily life with a colleague you’ve known for less than two months after going abroad.

It turned out to be the same as those people before.

Zhou Twenties lowered his eyes to look at the toes of his shoes, and said in a calm tone, "Whether it's a boyfriend or a girlfriend has nothing to do with you."

Even though the rumors in the courtyard were all different, Qi Lingyun still confirmed his guess and smiled wryly: "Is it your boyfriend?"

Zhou Twenty raised his eyes to look at him, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm sorry." He was very proficient in this apology.

The movement of Ershi rubbing the back of his hand brought him back to his senses, remembering that he had just accepted Qi Lingyun's gift, Zhou Ershi picked up the paper bag from the table and handed it to the other party: "I won't accept this either, sorry."

Maybe he had a premonition when the other party sent him a message, so he dealt with it coldly.

Qi Lingyun didn't reach out to pick it up, and sighed: "You can keep this, you don't have to be so alienated from others all the time. Even ordinary colleagues can accept gifts."

Zhou Twenty didn't take back his hand, and repeated: "Sorry, I can't take it."

He used to draw a line with all friends who crossed the line.

"Okay, I won't force you anymore." Qi Lingyun accepted the gift he carefully selected.In order to give this person a gift, he prepared a copy for every teacher in the institute.

He still felt unwilling: "If I didn't go to U University, would I have a chance?"

Zhou Twen is not a person who is very considerate of others, but he has experienced a lot, and he also knows that this kind of problem cannot be said directly, so he said vaguely: "This kind of assumption is not necessary."

Qi Lingyun was silent for a while, and when he raised his head, he still had a smile on his face. He raised his hand and patted Zhou Twenties on the shoulder: "I see, it's okay, I made the choice at that time."

Regardless of whether there was a chance or not, he chose to leave this person's side at that time.

Er Shi was standing next to Zhou Twenties, unable to reveal his existence, but feeling angry at Qi Lingyun's actions, he turned his head and blew on the hand on Zhou Twenties' shoulders.

Qi Lingyun only felt an inexplicable air flow from the back of his hand, which made people panic, so he quickly withdrew his hand.

Zhou Twenty saw Ershi's childish actions, but he didn't feel angry, and his expression softened from the coldness just now.

"What kind of person is your boyfriend?" Seeing his expression, Qi Lingyun understood what Chang Lin meant when he said "Mr. Zhou may really be a love brain".I've never seen him look like this before.

Zhou Twenty subconsciously glanced at Er Shi: "Very cute. Although taller than me, he looks like a child. He is very clingy and always likes to be by my side. He doesn't know how to do many things, and doesn't know how to do many things. I understand, but once I talk to him, I will understand.

He is very obedient, but you can't beat him up, he will cry and cry endlessly, it takes a long time to coax him..."

Listening to his description, Qi Lingyun's expression gradually became strange: "So you like this."

No wonder I can't catch up, it must be because of a collision.

Zhou Twenty didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he nodded with a smile: "Yes. I like this."

Er Shi sniggered complacently, unable to restrain his inner joy, secretly hooked his little finger.

Zhou Nian didn't intend to take Ershi home at noon today, but he had already said so in front of Qi Lingyun, and after the other party left, he went back to his desk to get the car keys.

Ershi followed behind him step by step, holding his whole hand without moving his fingers.

Turning around to get a key quickly, Zhou Nian didn't close the door of the office.

Suddenly being held by Er Shi, Zhou Twenties subconsciously shook him off, and reprimanded him in a low voice, "The door isn't closed yet!"

When he turned around and looked at Ershi again, this guy showed aggrieved expression again.

Zhou Twenties paid attention to the movement at the door, and quickly raised his hand to rub his head: "Okay, okay, I'll take it when I get home."

Ershi's eyes were moist, and he tried his best to hold back the tears, not letting them fall.

There must have been a lot of people on the elevator going downstairs at noon, so Zhou Nian took the twenty-one to the nearest stairs.

Er Shi followed him obediently without speaking.

Going down to the third floor, I didn't meet anyone else along the way, so Ershi cautiously asked Zhou Twenty for his opinion: "Ah Twenty, can I hold you for a while?"

Zhou Twenty's first reaction was to refuse, and he responded to his request in his heart.

[I'm going to the second floor soon, there will be more people walking directly from the first floor to the second floor. 】

Ershi sulking at the side: "I should have known that I would have held Ah Shien upstairs just now."

As soon as the words fell, as expected by Zhou Twenties, voices came from downstairs.

Er Shi kept walking on the right side of the wall.Zhou Twenty leaned towards him silently, and the back of his hand was lightly touched again.

Once in the car, Zhou Ershi was hugged by Ershi before he could sit still.

Ershi already knows that the car is a relatively safe space, which has the same nature as being at home.

Seeing that he hadn't let go after hugging him for a long time, Zhou Tian patted his hands on his back: "Okay, I'll hug him again when I get home, isn't it uncomfortable?"

In order to put the whole person into his arms, twenty and a half of his body crossed from the co-pilot to the driver's seat.

The head buried on Zhou Twenties' shoulders shook, and the strands of hair scratched him a little itchy.

Zhou Twenty didn't forcefully push him away, but just cupped his face and kissed him on the forehead.

"Hmm." Ershi raised his hand to cover his forehead, and retreated to his seat.

Zhou Twenty looked at his blushing ears with a smile, and reminded, "Fasten your seat belt."

Although he said he was going home for dinner, Zhou Tian didn't drive in the direction of home.

When the car stopped, Er Shi was still confused: "Ah Shi, where is this?"

Zhou Twenty unbuttoned his seat belt: "A place to eat. Get out of the car."

You should eat hot pot in winter.

On a whim, he brought Ershi to a hot pot restaurant.Because I had [-], I asked for a mini private room.

"Two sets." It was only when I sat down and asked for tableware that I thought it was inappropriate. It seemed a bit strange that I came alone, but asked for two sets of tableware.

The waiter didn't pay attention to this, after all, there are many people who will wait for their friends to come before eating.

Zhou Er cared about the mental health of the waiter, and invited him out after serving the food, so as not to see any supernatural events later.

He was still not at ease: "Can this door be locked?"

"Yes, I'll teach you." The waiter immediately showed the door lock service intimately, and said before going out, "I'm right at the door, you can call me if you need anything."

Zhou Twenty thanked you, but still said: "But there should be nothing to bother you."

After only the two of them were left in the private room, their activities became much more free.

It was the first time for Ershi to eat hot pot, and he was curious about everything, so he used a colander to stir the steaming soup.

While putting various dishes into the pot, Zhou Tian explained: "This is called fat beef. We also cook it at home. It cooks very quickly. It is enough to see that it all changes color. This is shrimp slippery. It takes about three hours to cook. 5 minutes. This fillet also cooks quickly, but you like it older, so let's cook it longer..."

Er Shi listened carefully, and strengthened his memory with his own random thoughts.

When Zhou Nian just ordered the fifth item, Er Shi quickly fished out all the fat beef slices in the pot and put them on the empty plate next to him.

Ershi's taste was derived from Zhou Ershi's eating, so the two of them only made a bowl of dipping sauce and mixed a lot of coriander, beef cubes, minced garlic, millet pepper, and vinegar into it.

Zhou Twenty picked up his chopsticks, passed a piece of fat beef in the dipping sauce, and put it in Er Shi's bowl.

Er Shi picked up the piece of meat and put it in his mouth, his eyes widened in an instant, and he looked at Zhou Twenty with sparkling eyes: "Hey, eat!"

"If it tastes good, eat more." Zhou Tian was still pouring other things into the pot.

He usually eats alone, and he is used to cooking everything except the staple food first.The cooking time of various things is different, and it is better to take it out and cool it for a while.

Ershi took another piece of fat beef, dipped it in the dipping sauce just like Zhou Twenty did, and handed it to Zhou Twenty's mouth: "Ah Twenty will eat it too."

Zhou Twenty opened his mouth as usual, and bit off the piece of meat from his chopsticks.

When Ershi first started learning to hold chopsticks, he always ate very slowly.At first, Zhou Twenty thought that he would have to practice by himself, so he didn’t help him, but if he was allowed to eat, the food would always be cold in the end, so Zhou Twenty thought of a way—feed him for half a day first. full, and then let him run free.

Later, Er Shi became proficient in handling chopsticks, so he reciprocated courtesy and often had to feed Zhou Twenty.

Less than half an hour after eating, the two digested more than half of the things on the table.

Zhou Twenty had already put down his chopsticks, and sat on a chair to watch Twenties.

Ershi has not only grown in height recently, but also seems to have increased his appetite a lot. At this time, he was stuffing a mouthful of udon noodles into his mouth, eating with gusto.
