sincerity of lies

Ji Xun was going to Huo Ranyin's door in the afternoon of the second day.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, there were not many people on the road. Most of the shops were closed, and only a few gift shops were still watching their faces, earning the last money from the year before.The city suddenly became much more empty and quiet, as if accompanied by twilight, it was about to enter the stage of falling asleep.

When you come to the door at this time, you should always bring some souvenirs.

Ji Xun walked into a gift shop, and there were all kinds of wine on the first shelf.

He picked up a bottle of pink champagne and was about to pay the bill when he hesitated.

Isn't it a bit dangerous to bring alcohol to your door?Although everyone is a man, even if something happens, no one will suffer, but he took the initiative to bring wine to the door during the ambiguous period, even if he had no subjective intention, under objective circumstances, he seemed very eager to use alcohol to have sex... …

He hesitated for too long, and the boss couldn't help urging: "Do you want to buy it? I'm going to close, and my wife is urging me at home."

For melon fields and plums, be cautious.

"Buy." Ji Xun came back to his senses, put down the wine, and took a bag of tea, "This."

He took out his mobile phone to pay, when the phone dinged, Huo Ranyin just sent a message.

"Where are you?"

The boss has sharp eyes, saw his mobile phone screen, and smiled kindly: "Your family has also urged you."

"is a friend."

"Oh."

At the end of the checkout, the boss looked full of disbelief, probably thinking "friends who can be dated 365 days a year, 364 days a year, why do they have to be reunited with their families on New Year's Eve"?

Believe it or not, Ji Xun knocked on the door of Huo Ranyin's house with tea in hand.

"Are you here?" Huo Ranyin opened the door, dressed as usual, if he didn't rush to open the door, resulting in a trace of flour remaining between his fingers, it would be hard to guess that he was busy in the kitchen just now.

Ji Xun held up the tea leaves: "Happy New Year."

"It's still seven hours before New Year's Eve." Huo Ran corrected him rigorously. He took the tea with a puzzled expression on his face, "Why did you bring tea?"

"I wanted to bring wine." Ji Xun bald and said he missed it, but it didn't matter, and he patched it up as if nothing had happened, "But I didn't buy what I liked, so I brought tea. It's okay to drink tea after eating dumplings at night. Personal pleasure."

"Don't worry, I have a bar at home, and I can make whatever I want." Huo Ranyin put away the tea leaves.

"Well, it doesn't have to be—"

As Ji Xun said, when he entered the door, he found that Huo Ranyin's house was terribly big for a single person, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it looked like 140 square meters, and the decoration was high-end and luxurious. It can be seen from the overcrowded liquor cabinet in the bar just mentioned.

But the most striking impression of this house is not its luxury.

He looked around, in fact, it was just a quick glance, which was enough, he saw that there was not a single piece of clothes hanging on the balcony, the glass cabinets were all empty, there was also nothing on the coffee table, and the sofa—— The surface of the sofa is still covered with a layer of plastic film, which is terrible, can't it be brand new?

He turned back and looked at Huo Ranyin again.

Huo Ranyin is independent, and the house is also independent. He may rest in this luxurious and empty house, but he will never stay here.He and the house are very unfeeling to each other.

"I have a question." Ji Xun said.

"what?"

"We met almost in the middle of last month. It's been about twenty days now. Have you gone home and slept for a full week?"

Huo Ranyin hesitated.

"Then there is none." Ji Xun tutted, "Let's not talk about the money for renting a house. You are clearly in a bourgeois paradise, but you are willing to abandon the jacuzzi, the happy bar, the two-meter bed, and the moon-watching Terrace, for the sake of the people who are not afraid of hardships or tiredness, you can climb mountains, dig soil, shoot guns and save people. With this kind of awareness that money is the first and justice is the first, the police department should award you a few more medals.”

"...If you get poorer, you won't be watching the Spring Festival Gala at night." Huo Ranyin said angrily, "I haven't made many dumplings yet, let's come in and let's go together."

"Do you have a knife in the kitchen?" Ji asked.

"of course."

"Knife and me, you can only choose one." Ji Xun said calmly, "With me without it, with it without me."

"..."

Huo Ranyin's kitchen is an open kitchen with an island in the middle.

Ji Xun was sitting on the sofa in the living room. From his position, he could easily see Huo Ranyin, who was facing away from him, propping up the table with both hands, writing two big characters "Speechless" just from his back.

Then Huo Ranyin started to tidy up the table. All the knives in the kitchen, including sharp objects, were all tidied up by him and put in the ceiling cabinet.

"Okay." After packing up, he turned around, "Everything is gone, you can move it now."

Ji Xun moved into the kitchen.

In fact, everything in the kitchen is almost ready, the fillings are adjusted, the dough is rolled out, and the rest is to wrap the dumplings. There is indeed a whole plate of wrapped dumplings on the tray, one by one, following the mold as engraved.

Ji Xun felt that they lacked spirituality.

Before doing it, he looked for tools: "Are there any disposable gloves and aprons?"

Huo Ranyin: "It's in the second drawer under the sink next to the sink."

Ji Xun quickly found out the corresponding items. It was similar to the apron that Yuan Yue gave when he bought vegetables. Huo Ranyin’s apron was also given as a gift when he bought cooking and kitchen utensils. It seems that such small kitchen items will never appear in a man’s shopping list. .Ji Xun looked at the dark blue apron with no pattern, and commented on it as usual: "Although Yuan Yue's pink apron is too prominent to make people's eyes hurt, but your apron is as dull as a plumber's overalls... "

He took out two aprons, and when he returned to Huo Ranyin's side, he said, "Don't you wear one?"

"I don't need it." Huo Ranyin said.

He really doesn't seem to need it very much. Flour is always needed to make dumplings, and things like flour will be spilled everywhere if you don't pay attention.But Huo Ranyin's palm seemed to have magical powers, no matter how fine the powder was in his palm, it would be neat and orderly, only staying in his palm, and he was still dry.

"It's all taken out, let's put it on." Ji Xun suggested, he had already shaken off the apron, and held it in front of Huo Ranyin.

Huo Ranyin glanced at his hands holding the dumplings.

Ji Xun heard the string song and knew its elegant meaning, so he took the initiative to say: "Bow your head, I will tie it for you."

Huo Ranyin lowered his head and raised his hands. Under the black hair and above the collar, there was a swan-like neck. When he put on the apron, he couldn't help touching Huo Ranyin's waist. He was in good shape, but his waist was It's very thin, not soft like a woman's, but a kind of firmness that hides strength.

Ji Xun's memory was awakened, and the reality was superimposed with memories, which brought double stimulation, making him almost feel that he had touched a vine, and seemed to stay there for two more seconds, when the vine would run along his palm and knock him down. winding.

Ji Xun hastily tied a knot and quickly withdrew his hand.At this time, Huo Ranyin said, "Is there something on my eyes?"

He looked up, and there was indeed some flour on Huo Ranyin's eyelids.It may have been accidentally obtained when I raised my hand just now.

He pulled out a tissue.

Through the paper towel, when Ji Xun pressed his fingers, Huo Ranyin's eyes rolled slightly.Between his fingers, Ji Xun saw Huo Ranyin's eyes faintly shining like broken diamonds.

After a small episode, both of them acted as if nothing had happened.

At least Ji Xun pretended to be indifferent and didn't feel anything wrong.

They continued making dumplings, but the dumplings made by Ji Xun were too spiritual, Huo Ranyin kicked him out of the kitchen after he finished making only one. Fortunately, the difference was not too bad, and after a while, the dumplings went into the pot.

After the water boiled three times, Ji Xun took a sip first, and the hot dumplings came in with juice. He praised: "I can't see that you have a talent for cooking."

Then he found the fattest dumpling in the pot of ups and downs in the boiling water—he made it.

He fished out the only remaining precious dumpling and waved it in front of Huo Ranyin: "I made it, do you dare to eat it?"

Huo Ranyin glanced at him, leaned over, opened his mouth to bite, and ate it.

The dumplings were a little hot, and they moved from the left cheek to the right cheek in his mouth. Huo Ranyin exhaled softly, and looked at Ji Xun:

"The dumplings you made, and the stuffing I made, what are you afraid to eat?"

It was such an ordinary sentence that made Ji Xun feel a little uncomfortable.

After the dumplings were cooked, Huo Ranyin put the dumplings on the table and went to the bar: "What wine do you want to drink?"

"I don't need it." Ji Xun's will was still firm.

Huo Ranyin didn't persuade him, he agreed casually, and started tinkering with his bar.

He took out various types of wine from the wine cabinet, and took out a whole set of bartending tools.

The bartending tool is better than the sofa, and it can be seen that it has been used at least once or twice. Maybe on some exhausted nights, or some relatively leisurely nights, Huo Ranyin did not take a shower and sleep directly when he returned home, but In the bar, I mixed a glass of wine according to my mood, and finally took it to the terrace, looking at the moon or the city, and slowly drank until I was slightly drunk.

What was Huo Ranyin thinking at this moment?Or nothing at all?

Huo Ranyin moved very quickly, and saw all kinds of wine utensils flicking back and forth in Huo Ranyin's hands like a butterfly wearing a flower. After only a few minutes, the cocktail was ready.

Huo Ranyin's choice of wine surprised Ji Xun.

It was a cup of Tequila Sunrise, which Ji Xun ordered for him when they first met.

Huo Ranyin also poured Ji Xun a glass of mineral water.

Looking at the tasteless mineral water, Ji Xun went to the bar after a short silence, opened the tea leaves brought by Huo Ranyin, and made himself a cup of milk tea.

Huo Ranyin leaned on the side, watched it for a long time, and finally smiled, "Is milk tea better than wine?"

Ji Xun said strictly: "Humans need sugar."

He picked up the glass and was about to take a sip when another glass was stretched out. Huo Ranyin touched him lightly with the cocktail glass.

Snapped.

After the glass rang softly, Huo Ranyin took a sip of the wine.

He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, the orange-red cocktail was like the sun that was about to set outside the window. Suddenly, the sun set, but the orange-red light stayed on Huo Ranyin's face for a long time.

It's the color of a cocktail.

Huo Ran's skin was cold and fair, drinking alcohol was easy to stain his face, but the stain was not serious, just a little red, as if someone had rubbed rouge on his cheeks with his hands.

"You said before that I am suitable for this glass of wine." Huo Ranyin said, he spun the wine glass, the wine swirled gently in the glass, and a small vortex was formed. The vortex contained suction, attracting Ji Xun's body Attention, "What now?"

"...Now," Ji Xun had to look from the wine to Huo Ranyin's face, "Of course it's the same."

A smile appeared on Huo Ranyin's cheek.

The slightly drunken beauty holding a wine glass showed a satisfied smile in approval. Behind him was the starry night, the vast dark blue sky, and the city, the lights that lit up sequentially in the dark blue.

He cast a glance, his eyes were lazy and presumptuous, his eyes swept over Ji Xun's body inch by inch, as if he wanted to overwhelm Ji Xun with his gaze.This is a clear invitation, but also a bold caress.

It's beautiful and attractive.

But not enough.

"If we just met in a bar, then it's okay to play casually." Ji Xun said bluntly to Huo Ranyin, "But now that we are familiar with each other, these things are another matter. The relationship between each other is complicated. deal with."

The person by the window paused, looked over in surprise, and the smile deepened at the corner of his mouth.

If the beauty just now was a painting, now the beauty in the painting has entered the real world.

"Why do you think that going to bed is a complicated relationship?" Huo Ranyin said, before Ji Xun could answer, he chuckled and continued on his own, "Because you think in your bones that going to bed is emotional, it's not a It's purely a functional act, but an emotional act, Ji Xun, others just want to vent to you, but you want to talk about feelings with others."

"No, it's just that the thresholds are inconsistent. When you don't know anything, your cognition of people is only composed of appearance; if you are familiar with it, personality replaces appearance and becomes a more important part of cognition. Stimulating people's senses, from Appearance has become personality, and it is still a bit difficult for the latter to achieve the sexual impulse to go to bed, and there must be a strong emotional stimulation in a certain situation, and I am still out of breath tonight." Ji Xun talked eloquently.

"Won't you still fall in love after your personalities attract each other?" Huo Ranyin walked over from the window.

There is only a bar between the two.

"That's still not the same." Ji Xun corrected, "Dating a relationship is a long-distance race, we are based on the momentary stimulation of personality, this is a very subtle intermediate value, you have to savor it carefully."

"Pretentious." Huo Ranyin snorted, the crimson color on his face and the passion in his eyes faded together.But there was still a slight mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and it was fun to listen to Ji Xun's nonsense when he was free.On the table, the heat of the dumplings was still steaming, and the faint sound of the news broadcast followed the wind and slipped in through the open window.

Huo Ranyin reached out and pressed the switch.

The light flickered, and the bright light filled the room, dispelling the last bit of ambiguous atmosphere.

"Let's eat." He said, taking a few mouthfuls of dumplings first.

With a calm expression, Ji Xun also sat down and had dinner with Huo Ranyin.

But at this moment, Huo Ranyin's cell phone on the table rang suddenly.

Huo Ranyin paused for a moment, then went to answer the phone.

"Hey?"

He said, and then his expression became serious and cold.

He hung up the phone and put on his coat.

"Something happened to Xin Yongchu."

Before Huo Ranyin got the car keys, Ji Xun stepped forward: "Don't drive after drinking, I'll take you there."

"No, it's a small matter. I'll take a look and come back, just take a taxi and come back." Huo Ranyin said.

"Take a taxi on New Year's Eve?" Ji Xun sneered, "Also, are you despising my IQ? If it's really a trivial matter, can I call you on New Year's Eve, so that you can go out without delay?"

He finished, concluding:

"Xin Yongchu is dead?"

"..."

"Ah, it seems that I have guessed right. Don't you just say that you are afraid that I will fall in love with you?"

"I know everything, but I still have to say it." Huo Ranyin said.

"Because I don't have much to see, and I don't have much to love." Ji Xun said lightly, "Let's go."

Huo Ranyin's hand rested on the doorknob for a moment.

Then they went together.
