Drug addiction

When Yan Ziqian stepped into the house, Tong Yu, who was busy in the kitchen, happened to put the third piece of marinated steak into the frying pan...

He didn't know what this family had experienced, but at the same time as the door closing broke into his ears, the choking smell in the air instantly rushed into his nasal cavity, scraped into the lung lobes through the lung duct, This smell is like embers that are blazing in the sky, after only a moment of contact, it penetrates into the blood vessels and penetrates deep into the internal organs, making him unable to break free and unable to pull away...

Probe in the direction of the kitchen, Yan Ziqian stepped on the slippers and kicked the leather shoes that he had just taken off to the side, and walked cautiously into the living room with doubts in his eyes.

Through the thicker green smoke, he could clearly see the busy figure standing behind the bar and... and the messy kitchen...

Tong Yu didn't seem to notice him, and he was still wrinkling his face and fighting against the steak splashed with oil stars in front of him. He was full of expectations, hoping that his first cooking 'masterpiece' would win the favor of his brother Qian. ..

Approaching quietly, Yan Ziqian really didn't have bad intentions to scare his wife, he just wanted to see the shocking scene in front of him for real...

Knives flew across the marble table, including chef's knives, boning knives, boning knives, meat cleavers, even fruit knives and scissors;

A puddle of blood was randomly placed on the cutting board at the bar. Yan Ziqian thought with a nervous heart, but he racked his brains and couldn't figure out the origin of the puddle of light red, until he saw the blood still flowing on the ground. The bloody steak bag was a little relieved;

There are several plates next to the sink, they are filled with... uncooked pasta, fried shrimp, okra still lying on the slime, corn kernels that have been 'one size fits all' by a bone cutter and pale white Mashed potatoes;

The closest to Yan Ziqian is a transparent salad bowl, which is full of fresh vegetables and fruits. The ingredients are wrapped in golden olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper is used as an embellishment. Yan'er's heart finally calmed down a little, but when he saw the unopened bottle of sea salt and black peppercorns next to the salad bowl, and swallowed his saliva, the precarious heart in his chest trembled uncontrollably again;

This ingredient is really worthy of the word 'fresh'...

The faucet was also turned off, and the tortured kitchen seemed to be complaining non-stop through the sound of running water. It seemed to be telling Yan Ziqian, "When you didn't come back, what kind of crime did your wife do in this house?" the point'...

He exhaled fiercely to calm down, Yan Ziqian looked at the mess everywhere but gently pulled the corners of his lips up, the horror that still existed between his brows just now has long since disappeared, and the soul-stirring handsome face is full of tears that are about to overflow Full of joy and affection...

He can't remember this incident wrongly, this is the first time Tong Yu cooks for him...

The steak is a thick-cut filet, and it takes 4 minutes to be medium-rare. Drawing on the experience and lessons of the previous two times, Tong Yu turned the heat of the induction cooker to the minimum, so the process of ripening the steak is difficult and long...

Turning over the steak in the frying pan, Tong Yu pinched his waist and sighed fiercely, reaching out to turn off the faucet that was moaning desperately, he turned around and cast his gaze to the messy cups and plates on the bar counter, of course, reflected In front of my eyes is Yan Ziqian's smiling face, which is disastrous for the country and the people...

The raised eyebrows were full of surprise, but after a while, they unexpectedly added a look of panic, Tong Yu pursed her lips to force herself to calm down, took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator and put it in front of Yan Ziqian, and then Leng pretended to be calm and asked, "When did you come back? I didn't even hear..."

Yan Ziqian sat on the bar chair and reached out to tear off the tab of the can of Coke. He didn't intend to drink it and didn't answer Tong Yu's question. He just held the cool can in his palm and asked back as if changing the subject. Said, "Fry steak for me? Who did you learn from? Our mother?"

Tong Yu turned around and still turned his back to Yan Ziqian. He picked up the thick-cut steak in the pan with tongs and put it back into the pan. Perfunctory words, "I learned from Huizi, his fried steak is very delicious..."

Yan Ziqian knew that this silly boy was shy, his bright smile was mixed with some ambiguous meaning, he lightly pressed the corners of his lips to hide the smile, got up and walked quietly behind Tong Yu, and wrapped him in his arms without hesitation In the movie, Yan Ziqian's movements are gentle, but unexpectedly, he has incorporated a little domineering meaning...

Tong Yu was not surprised, Yan Ziqian's reaction was completely in his expectation, but he felt the burning sensation from Yan Ziqian's firm chest, he bit the teeth at the corner of his lip even harder...

Slightly nodding his head and offering a light kiss to his side neck, Tong Yu's coquettish moan-like sound came out of his nasal cavity and instantly entered Yan Ziqian's sensitive ears. As soon as he sniffed, the refreshing citrus aroma made him instantly feel at ease, and the fatigue around him disappeared immediately. Tong Yu has this kind of magic power, which can make Yan Ziqian walk between calmness and madness, and compromise willingly.. .

But when he saw the steak completely soaked in butter in the pan, he secretly wrinkled his nose and instinctively looked away...

Tong Yu is Yan Ziqian's 'fate', but today, his 'fate' wants his life...

He turned his head to one side while sighing lightly, but the red wine bottle standing on the edge of the stove immediately broke into his sight, and the dark red liquid freely sliding down the bottle gathered at the bottom of the bottle, where it should have been at the mouth of the bottle The cork that appeared was also gone...

Yan Ziqian frowned slightly, his eyes were fixed on the dark bottle, but there was a slight smile between his words, "You used this bottle of red wine to marinate the steak?"

"Hmm..." Tong Yu focused all his attention on the frying pan in front of him, he raised his eyebrows, the expression on his face was taken for granted...

Although Yan Ziqian received an affirmative answer, he didn't respond at all. He just kept looking away from Tong Yu's shoulder, and there was a bit of a sharp smile on his face, which was obviously warm, but unexpectedly smiled. no words...

"What's wrong?" As if sensing Yan Ziqian's unusual emotions, Tong Yu turned his head sideways to look at him, trying to find the answer from his big shining eyes...

"It's okay..." This time he was immediately responded, it was only a bottle of red wine, he didn't need to let his wife take it to heart...

Tong Yu, who didn't notice anything unusual, got a bigger smile on his face. He carefully placed the slightly burnt steak in the pan on the center of the plate and turned off the induction cooker. His face was full of anticipation, and he put his nose close to the plate and sniffed it. , even the slightly wrinkled eyebrows are full of can't wait...

But you don't need to think about it to know what the result will be. The whole nasal cavity is filled with the sour smell. Tong Yu's brows frowned even tighter in an instant. Thinking about which step went wrong, but when Ren'er's brain was already aching, he still couldn't find the answer...

Hey, God may have welded his door on cooking...

Maybe it was because he didn't accept his fate, but he was also suspected of being very angry. Tong Yu's lips curled up because of his irritability, expressing his mood that had slumped to the bottom in an instant. He took a deep breath to encourage himself, and he stretched out his hand to open the oven next to him. , then place the steaks on a tray in the oven...

After setting the time, he sighed hard and didn't let go of the bad emotions trapped in his chest. Tong Yu's small face with the corners of his lips puckered up like toilet paper, turned around and raised his eyebrows to look at him and sat back. Yan Ziqian at the bar, his thoughts were gradually filled with irritability, he felt that he was so stupid, Li Huizi didn't even learn how to fry steak...

Pursing his lips, Tong Yu casually threw the oil-stained tableware into the dishwasher, only then did Tong Yu remember the bottle of red wine that Yan Ziqian asked about just now that he used to marinate steaks...

In an instant, the anxiety on his face was replaced, and even Tong Yu's pupils showed seriousness, "That...I got the red wine from the basement, I didn't touch your famous wine, I thought I would use it anyway. It’s good enough for bacon, so I randomly took a bottle from the box next to it, I don’t know what it is, but the packaging is so ugly, I can tell it’s worthless at a glance...”

Yan Ziqian was speechless when his daughter-in-law finished speaking. He lightly licked his lips and tried to organize his words, but he swallowed the words as before. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then spoke in an extremely disapproving tone. "It's really not worth much, but just don't let Xiao Ning'er know about it..."

'It is worthless? '

Fuck, I'm afraid his wife is the only one in the world who is willing to use Screaming Eagle's Cabernet Sauvignon dry red to marinate beef. If Wang Yuning's bastard knows that he has been grinding for a long time and hasn't got the wine, he just folded it in Tong Yu's hands Alright, he's sorry for the 'cheap' bottle of wine if he doesn't go crazy...

Hearing what Yan Ziqian said, Tong Yu frowned slightly, and he seemed to ask in doubt, "Why? Wang Yuning gave you this wine?"

"No, you know that Xiao Ning'er is closest to wine. He asked me for this wine before, but I didn't give it to him..." Yan Ziqian continued to respond in an indifferent tone, turning the face that hadn't moved at all. Coke pushed it aside, but instead poured a glass of plain water and drank it on his own, adding, "That wine was given by a friend of Qiao Jiaxu's, and it has been piled up in the basement since I got it back. ..”

Speaking of Qiao Jiaxu, Tong Yu immediately became interested. He pretended to be calm and stretched out his hand to put the knives on the bar into the sink, took out the kitchen paper to wipe the bar clean, folded his hands on the edge and told Yan Ziqian looked at each other, full of enthusiasm and can't wait...

"Brother Qian, how did you meet Qiao Jiaxu?"

Yan Ziqian instantly saw clearly the little thought behind his daughter-in-law's bright smiling face, but he just quietly played eye games with him, licking his lips without intending to expose him at all. Once again, I sorted out my emotions, and then told in an extremely calm tone, "I met him through Yang Rui. I can always meet him at dinners, and I gradually became familiar with him. Later, I became acquainted with iron porcelain..."

Hearing Yan Ziqian take the initiative to mention Yang Rui, Tong Yu's beautiful phoenix eyes lit up instantly, because if he wanted to talk about this person, he would want to find out more information...

Quietly lowering his eyelids and thinking, Tong Yu couldn't wait in his heart. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the calmness that was covered by Yan Ziqian, and while swallowing his saliva, he cheered for himself again in his heart, and then asked very stiffly, "Qian Brother, how did you meet Yang Rui?"

In fact, when Yang Rui was mentioned just now, Yan Ziqian already regretted it. He knew the reason why his wife has been holding on to Yang Rui. Outsiders asked him about Yang Rui, and he knew that this was the most serious sequelae of the two people's five-year separation. superior...

But Yan Ziqian has always kept himself clean these years. Although there are some rumors against him from the outside world, he has been guarding himself for Tong Yu in the past five years. He did all these things to make Tong Yu feel at ease, but Tong Yu's overt and secret temptations really made him uncomfortable, even to the point of being sad...

Faced with Tong Yu's question, Yan Ziqian had no choice but to answer and really didn't know how to answer, so he had to give an extremely perfunctory answer, "We also met because of business..." After saying this, He suddenly realized something and deliberately added, "There is no messy relationship between me and Yang Rui, we are purely partners..."

In fact, Tong Yu didn't suspect that Yan Ziqian had something to do with Yang Rui, but after hearing the accurate response from Yan Ziqian's mouth, he still felt a lot better. He hid a shy smile on his lips, and then continued ' Torture'...

"That day in your office, I heard Yang Rui talk about your first business deal..." Tong Yu licked his lips, hesitantly speaking, his words were orderly and seductive, his whole face showed an unfathomable expression, He successfully hid the guilty conscience in the corner of his eyes, and then pretended to be inadvertent, and finally said the question buried in his heart, "Who introduced you to the project you invested in at that time? This person is really amazing, with such a good vision..."

'Look, temptation, what comes out of his wife's mouth is all fucking temptation...'

But Yan Ziqian also understands in his heart that this topic can't be continued, it's because he knows his wife's personality too well, once he finds the end of the wool, he won't pull the whole ball of yarn If you are clear, you will never let it go...

'Qi Juan' has too many stories to tell, including Xie Lei's life experience. Yan Ziqian asked himself that there is nothing in this life that he can't tell his wife, but for this matter , he chose to keep his mouth shut after careful consideration...

"It was Yang Rui who introduced him. His eyesight is really good..." Yan Ziqian didn't dare to look at the scrutiny projected from his daughter-in-law's eyes, but just lowered his head and responded sullenly. But the evasive words are full of perfunctory...

Yan Ziqian was afraid of saying too many mistakes, so he shortened his prevarication words, but he didn't even realize that his contradictory words were already full of loopholes...

"But you just said that you and Yang Rui met because of business, and now you say that the first business was introduced to you by Yang Rui, what kind of logic are you talking about?" Tong Yu obviously said that Ziqian was not too clever The clues were found in the lies, perhaps because he was eager to find out the secret that Yan Ziqian had buried deep in his heart, Tong Yu did not hesitate to confide all the doubts this time...

Yan Ziqian knew that he was inexplicably caught in a strange circle of logic. When he was upset, he couldn't help cursing himself because he got angry because of his ignorance. He secretly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tong Yu who was always watching him. Yan Ziqian felt awkward looking at the staring and suspicious eyes in that pool of water...

'The key is that I didn't do anything wrong. Why bother to endure suffering and resist high pressure? '

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Yan Ziqian immediately stood up from the bar chair as if he had found a way. His entire handsome face was covered with heat intolerance. Filled with obvious irritability, "Yes, I met Yang Rui because of the first business deal. Is there any problem with this? There is no problem with logic or reason..." Yan Ziqian still dodged Tong Yu With flustered eyes, he didn't dare to look at Tong Yu, just like Tong Yu five years ago couldn't lie blatantly...

"I'll go up and change first, I'm hungry..."

Yan Ziqian was even more serious this time. He even deprived Tong Yu of the right to speak and then turned around and walked straight up the stairs. He knew that he couldn't keep this secret, but if he said it outright, then he would now I can't do it, and I can't do it no matter who I face...

Tong Yu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He just watched Yan Ziqian walk away as if he was running away. His broad shoulders had nothing to do with being charming, and his tall and straight figure told only perfunctory and lies...

Yan Ziqian's attitude just now was completely engraved in Tong Yu's mind. Now he can be sure that Yan Ziqian has a secret, and this secret is not only related to Yang Rui, but also closely related to the first business that made his fortune...

But is there such a great secret that Yan Ziqian would rather lie blatantly than tell the truth?

Tong Yu didn't understand, he didn't understand, Yan Ziqian's actions made him unable to clear the fog to see the truth, of course, he couldn't see the truth, nor could he see Yan Ziqian at this moment...

There are many problems between them, the main reason comes from the five years of being apart. Regarding Yan Ziqian's life, Tong Yu made up his mind to participate and accompany him, but this time he personally rejected him. The outsider is Yan Ziqian himself...

He couldn't understand the reason for this situation. Indeed, even though he was happy and found it again, he couldn't get back the original feeling, but Tong Yu always forced himself to believe that they didn't lose each other, they just separated for five years.. .

Yes, they have only been separated for five years, but what is the difference between the five years of missing each other and losing each other?

The oven behind him has already entered the heat preservation stage. Tong Yu, who finally came to his senses, took out the tray with anti-scalding gloves and carefully observed the thick-cut steak that was indistinguishable from the one before putting it in the oven. Tong Yu sighed hard However, he still transferred the steak to a clean cutting board. This step was instructed by Li Huizi. The grilled steak must be allowed to stand for 90 seconds before being cut...

Tong Yu wanted to take advantage of Steak's calmness to calm down his thoughts and emotions, and force himself to forget Yan Ziqian's attitude and words that were no less than stabbing him in the heart. Tong Yu raised his hand and rubbed it. On the cheek, an ugly smile was pulled out by hand, and the slightly stiff expression on his face gradually froze. When Tong Yu's cool palm left his side cheek, the sound of footsteps from the stairs also broke into his ears at the same time. ..

With the mobile phone in his hand, Yan Ziqian frowned slightly, as if he was facing a formidable enemy, even the knit brows were inseparable...

The expression on Tong Yu's face was naturally not very good-looking, because at this time Yan Ziqian was still wearing the suit that Tong Yu picked out for him when he went out in the morning, and it was not difficult to see in his slightly apologetic eyes stop the taste...

"Didn't you go up and change your clothes?" Tong Yu's heart surged in an instant, he waited for Yan Ziqian's answer, and secretly prayed to go against the prediction in his heart.

"I..." Yan Ziqian held the phone in his palm, licking his lips with hesitation, but after meeting Tong Yu's flickering eyes in the air, he resolutely told him, "There is something wrong with the company." Son, I have to go back..."

"Go back?" This answer was expected by Tong Yu in his heart long ago, but when Yan Ziqian said this sentence himself, Tong Yu's originally questioning expression was mixed with flustered emotions, and he was also full of grievances. complained "The steak is done..."

A fool can understand the implication of these words, and Yan Ziqian did not evade at all this time, and looked at Tong Yu's eyes filled with sadness in an instant, he pursed his lips hard, his heart was already trembling hopelessly , but on Yang Rui's side...he really can't take care of it...

"Baby, can you wait for me at home? I'll be back in an hour..."

Yan Ziqian's words are definitely not perfunctory, but in fact, his upcoming appearance is just a cover, a trap set up for insurance purposes, so according to past experience, he will definitely come back within an hour ...

"But the steak doesn't taste good when it's cold..." This was Tong Yu's last reason, although he knew that the thick sliced ​​filet that had been too cold on the chopping board would be hard to swallow even now...

"But the company is very urgent..." This was also Yan Ziqian's last reason. Although he didn't want to lie, he still uttered this lie that no one could refuse...

Tong Yu's gradually narrowing eyes complemented Yan Ziqian's full face of sincerity. He swallowed suddenly, and instantly felt that he was too useless. I was moved by the tears in my eyes...

But then again, he has no substantive evidence to prove that Yan Ziqian lied to him, and he can clearly see how busy Yan Ziqian is now, although he really wants to share with Yan Ziqian his first time. The fruit of cooking [evil fruit], but to be honest, he doesn't want to see his brother Qian making things difficult between him and his career...

Tong Yu is still kind-hearted, the same as five years ago, facing the sudden hostility from the outside world, he always chooses to face the difficulties and never relents, but when facing Yan Ziqian, he can't be ruthless at all.

Sighing, Tong Yu seemed to give himself a satisfactory explanation in his heart. Taking advantage of his open-minded state of mind, he slightly pursed the corners of his lips and responded calmly, "Then you go, the company's business is important, you go early Come back, I'll wait for you at home..."

Receiving an extremely gentle response, Yan Ziqian instantly expressed gratitude and relief on his face, with a handsome smile filling his cheeks, gently stroking Tong Yu's neck and biting his lips, without knowing it. Is it a reward or an outpouring of affection...

"Then I'm leaving, I'll be back soon, dear..."

Yan Ziqian left such a sentence and turned to leave. Tong Yu was staring at his decisive back all the time, his cell phone rang again a second before going out, Tong Yu only heard him say 'Hello', and then tinnitus...

The moment the door was closed as promised, Tong Yu frowned and closed his eyes. It's not that he didn't want to accept the reality, but the house after Yan Ziqian left was too big and he needed some time to get used to such an empty environment...

While sighing, his gaze lightly swept across the marble bar, Tong Yu frowned fiercely at the Coke that Yan Ziqian had opened but put aside, thought silently for a moment, Tong Yu's outstretched fingertips trembled slightly, but seemed to be extremely bulging Hold the Coke can in your hands with great courage...

'Sure enough, as expected...'

Tong Yu said that he didn't understand the current Yan Ziqian, it might be better to say that Yan Ziqian has changed too much in the past five years...

Five years ago, Yan Ziqian was keen on goat milk, but Tong Yu knew that this matter was more or less a love affair, and for Yan Ziqian, Coke was his favorite...

But today, five years later, Coke seems to have lost some of its magic power, and it can no longer arouse any interest in Yan Ziqian...

This is the first unusual aspect that Tong Yu noticed about Yan Ziqian five years later. From the day he returned to China until now, Yan Ziqian would carefully put all the Coke that he put in front of Yan Ziqian. Opened and set aside without even tasting...

The former favorite fell out of favor, and Tong Yu's heart and eyes were full of the heavy Coke can at this time, but sad thoughts crossed his mind unexpectedly, why did he suddenly think of himself?
