Jiang Yenan is like a child who has found a new toy and excitedly wants to share it with Xuzhou.

Xu Zhou glanced sideways at the colleagues around him, with the mobile phone tightly attached to his ear, he got up from his work station and walked out.He walked outside to the entrance of the corridor, and there was no one around. He stood by the small window and lit a cigarette.

Xu Zhou took a puff of cigarette and whispered into the phone, "Ye Nan, I have changed my career from being an editor."

Jiang Yenan was taken aback, his mood was like a hot air balloon descending slowly, the burning flame was extinguished.He heard Xuzhou say: "There is no way, this job is too tiring, and the money is still low. I got married the year before last, and my wife gave birth to a child. I have to support my family."

Jiang Yenan looked at the entire page of the notebook, which was densely packed with handwriting. He picked up a pen, turned over a page, and drew circles one after another in the blank space. He said, "I...I know, I I understand you."

Xuzhou apologized to him, "I'm sorry."

"Don't say that, you saved me, I want to thank you."

It's just that Xuzhou has brought Jiang Yenan with him since the first book. Jiang Yenan once thought that no matter how long it takes, this person will always be there.He grabbed his pen, a little fidgety, not knowing who to tell his new story to.

Cancan now goes to the hospital once every Saturday, and Muyan has classes during the day, so Cancan took the initiative to contact Jiang Yenan and asked him to take her to the hospital.Muyan didn't want to trouble Jiang Yenan, but he was also worried that Cancan was alone, so he turned a blind eye to these behaviors of Cancan.

Jiang Yenan received a call from Cancan, and arrived at their door in about 10 minutes.Muyan was still making breakfast, when he heard the doorbell ring, Cancan ran to open the door, he heard Cancan's cheers in the kitchen, he didn't need to look to know that Jiang Yenan was coming.

He grabbed another egg from the freezer and made an extra sandwich.

Jiang Yenan walked to the door of the kitchen, looked at Muyan's back, and called out tentatively.

Mu Yan turned her head and looked at him, her chin slightly drooping.Cancan grabbed Jiang Yenan's hand, pulled him to the dining table and sat down, Cancan said: "Mr. Jiang, the sandwiches made by Dad are very delicious."

Jiang Yenan looked at the kitchen anxiously, Muyan came out with a plate, seeing his expression, he walked over quietly.Jiang Yenan got up and pulled out the chair for him. After Muyan sat down, he said to them, "The milk is in the kitchen, go get it yourself."

"I'll get it." Cancan raised her hand, jumped off the chair, and ran into the kitchen.

Muyan pushed the plate to Jiang Yenan's hand, and he said, "Eat."

"Thank you." Jiang Yenan took a bite of the sandwich.

Cancan brought the milk over, and the child sat between them, like an invisible bond, breaking the original silence.

"Ms. Jiang, why do you look thinner?" Cancan took a sip of the milk, her mouth was covered with milk froth.

Jiang Yenan looked at it and was about to pull the tissue, but Muyan's hand also stretched out and touched him.Both of them were taken aback for a moment, Jiang Yenan shrank back first, while Muyan held a piece of tissue paper to wipe Cancan's face.

Jiang Yenan said: "I will write a new book this week, and I will stay up late."

"New book? Teacher Jiang is a writer?" Cancan became excited.

Jiang Yenan touched his nose and said, "It happened a few years ago."

"Why didn't you write all of a sudden?" Muyan's voice cut in, Jiang Yenan was taken aback, he looked at Muyan.

Mu Yan herself was taken aback, but she had already asked the question, and she couldn't regret it.He changed his tone and asked again, "Why didn't you write a book after that?"

Jiang Yenan recalled the situation at that time, he felt his throat was dry, picked up the cup, drank the milk in it in one gulp, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "I had a serious illness at that time, and I was powerless in many things. , The new book couldn’t pass the review, I had a fight with the people in the publishing house, and I didn’t want to write after that.”

Mu Yan's heart trembled, he heard Jiang Yenan say: "It's very sad, I feel that writing things now is completely different from before."

"What's the difference?"

Jiang Yenan said: "I used to write about men, women, love, desire, desire, betrayal, and think about everything good and bad, but now I can only write about love and beauty, praising life, praising fate, but how can there be so many in this world? Well, I can't write it."

A sandwich can be eaten after a dozen bites, and a glass of milk can be drunk several times, so how many times a person is suppressed can drain the enthusiasm in his heart. In 2000, everyone imitated the people of the future and talked to their present selves. They said in the post bar that the future is good and free, and the world will be more tolerant 20 years later.

Would those people have thought of it?I would think that I might come to an environment where I was suppressed and my speech was banned. Everyone became a guinea pig in the laboratory, and I could only run forward desperately. If I deviated from the track, I would lose everything.

Muyan worried about the prospect of Jiang Yenan's new book, he wanted to ask, but he still held back.

He didn't want to get involved with Jiang Yenan too much, now this is the limit.

After breakfast, Jiang Yenan drove Cancan to the hospital, Cancan took Muyan's hand, stood between the two adults, and said in a childlike voice, "Father, you can take Uncle Jiang's car, you just You don't have to drive yourself."

Jiang Yenan, who has been promoted from Mr. Jiang to Uncle Jiang, slightly raised the corners of his mouth. He carefully glanced at Muyan, and when he heard the other party say yes, he raised his hand, put his curled fingers on his mouth, and hid his smile.

Muyan opened the car door, and saw the extra safety seat sitting in the back. He looked at Jiang Yenan, who had already slipped in front.

The car was newly bought, and the previous car was still in the garage, so it probably couldn't be repaired well.The black SUV can hold a lot of things, suitable for a family of three to travel by car.

Jiang Yenan drove Muyan to the dance classroom first, and when Muyan got out of the car, he saw one big and one young lying at the window and waving their hands to say goodbye to him.

Cancan finished hanging the water at noon, and the nurse came to pull out the needle, but the child didn't say a word, and pressed the needle hole with a cotton ball.Jiang Yenan picked him up, lowered his head and asked him, "What do you want to eat?"

Cancan raised his head, his round eyes were full of calculations, and he said, "I want to eat KFC."

Jiang Yenan frowned, a little embarrassed, "I remember your father said that you are not allowed to eat this."

"Ah, Uncle Jiang, can't you just eat once?" With a bitter face, Cancan leaned over and rubbed his head against Jiang Yenan's neckline, and whispered, "Just once, is it okay?"

Ten minutes later, they sat in a KFC closest to the hospital.Jiang Yenan ordered a family bucket for two people to eat. Cancan ate the chicken nuggets and the cone, and was extremely happy.

Jiang Yenan picked up a tissue and wiped the ketchup from Cancan's mouth, he said: "Go back and keep it a secret."

Cancan nodded repeatedly, licked the corners of her mouth, and nodded with a smile.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yenan took Cancan to the cafe for a rest, and ordered Cancan a cheesecake and a cup of hot cocoa. Cancan was happy again, holding Jiang Yenan's arm, standing on tiptoe, and kissing his face kissed.Jiang Yenan was stunned, and came back to his senses after a long time.

It turns out that being an elder who dotes on children is so comfortable, Jiang Yenan's thumb lightly clasped the pulp of his index finger, and he let out a sigh of satisfaction.

At about three o'clock, Jiang Yenan went to pick up Muyan.Cancan was sitting on the safety seat, his stomach was full, and he burped.Jiang Yenan smiled, and looked back at him, "Can you still have dinner like this?"

"Will Uncle Jiang have dinner with us?" Cancan's eyes sparkled.

"You can talk to your father and ask him if he wants to eat hot pot together."

Cancan had an expression on his face that I would complete the task, and when he received Muyan, he immediately hugged his father's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, can I have dinner with Uncle Jiang?"

Mu Yan just took a shower in the dance classroom, the body wash smelled like peaches, it was unbearably sweet.Jiang Yenan's nose moved, and he leaned back, he listened, Muyan said, "Let's eat together? Have you figured out where to go?"

Unexpectedly, it would be so easy to agree, Jiang Yenan was a little surprised, but Cancan smiled without any worries, cheered softly, and said to Jiang Yenan: "Uncle Jiang, Dad, he agreed."

The soldiers sent by Jiang Yenan brought back the news of the victory, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The car passed an intersection, and he said, "The weather is getting colder, let's have a hot pot together."

Mu Yan frowned, and subconsciously asked: "Have you checked? How is the hygiene?"

The corners of Jiang Yenan's mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but relax his hands holding the steering wheel. He couldn't help but joked: "I've read hundreds of comments, and they are all good reviews."

Muyan blushed, and he knew that he was a little worried, so he smiled and stopped talking.

The hot pot restaurant that Jiang Yenan found is said to be for health preservation, the soup base is quite light, and there are codonopsis and angelica in it, Mu Yan looked at it and felt relieved.After sitting down, Jiang Yenan handed the menu to Muyan. Muyan ordered two vegetables and handed them back to Jiang Yenan. Jiang Yenan didn't look at it and gave it to Cancan.

A menu went around among the three of them, and Mu Yan saw Cancan ticking off several dishes, so she couldn't help but said to Jiang Yenan, "Why don't you order it yourself?"

Jiang Yenan leaned his elbows on the table, propped his chin and looked at Cancan, he said: "He knows how to order, and when I go out with him, it's the restaurant he came to look for."

It is rare for parents to hand over the decision-making power to their children. Muyan is one of the many parents, and Jiang Yenan is one of the few.

The few dishes Cancan ordered skillfully avoided Muyan's minefield, and when the waiter brought them up, he didn't say anything.

The water in the hot pot gradually boiled, and Jiang Yenan put beef into it.Muyan tilted her head and asked Cancan, "What did you have for lunch today?"

Cancan blinked, looked up at Jiang Yenan, and said dryly, "I ate the chicken."

Mu Yan nodded, "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Yenan seemed to have done something wrong, he lowered his head guiltily, looked at the traitor who abandoned him, and said to his father, "It's delicious, Uncle Jiang took me there."

Jiang Yenan raised his head with a "sigh", Muyan was just looking at him, their gazes collided, he scratched his hair, and pursed his lips and smiled at him.

Fortunately, Muyan didn't ask further, the beef was cooked soon, Jiang Yenan fished it out with a spoon, and put them into Cancan's and Muyan's bowls respectively.

Sitting at the same table to eat with Jiang Yenan again, this is something that Mu Yan would never have thought about in the past few years.

The light in the restaurant seemed to be projected from the crystal, Jiang Yenan's face looked unusually three-dimensional under this light, with deep eye sockets and a straight nose.He looked down, long eyelashes drooping carelessly on his lids.

Muyan went to watch secretly, wrapping around Jiang Yenan from the corner of her eye.

The person he once dreamed of was also his nightmare.

They are all people who travel through mountains and rivers. Love is like a mountain, and desire is like water.Thousands of miles away, thousands of miles apart, it seems that there will never be a turning back.

Cancan got sleepy halfway through eating hot pot, and fell asleep on her stomach on the sofa.Muyan called him a few times, and he said "uh", hooked Muyan's arm, and whispered, "Dad, I'm sleepy."

Jiang Yenan glanced at the remaining vegetables, rinsed all the beef in, and said to Muyan: "Let's go when the beef is finished."

The beef was cooked almost as soon as it was hot. After eating the meat, Jiang Yenan turned off the fire.Muyan hugged Cancan, Jiang Yenan walked to his side, stretched out his hand, "I'll do it."

Cancan has grown up quite a bit, and Muyan is already struggling to hug her now, but Jiang Yenan seems to be holding Cancan quite easily.

He had just paid the bill, and when they came out of the store, the sky outside had already darkened, and when they looked up, they could see the half-curved moon.

Mu Yan remembered when they were in Finland, the two were lying on the bed, through the window, the moon was hanging in the sky, and the moonlight flowed through their bodies.Jiang Yenan's face was shrouded in that layer of silver light, so beautiful that it was unreal.

When he got to the garage, Jiang Yenan was still holding Cancan in his hand, so he asked Muyan to help him get the car keys in his pants pocket.

"It's in the left pocket."

He was wearing a gray sweater, turned sideways, Muyan hesitated for a few seconds and approached him.His hand touched the fabric of his trousers, he lowered his head, and took out the key.

Muyan opened the rear door, watched Jiang Yenan carefully put Cancan into the safety seat, and then gently closed the door.

Jiang Yenan turned around, seeing that Muyan didn't move, he was leaning against the car door with his hands behind his back, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Yan shook her head, but she still didn't move.

Jiang Yenan looked at him suspiciously, the garage was dimly lit, a car passed by them, Jiang Yenan pulled Muyan's hand, "Be careful."

Muyan slammed into Jiang Yenan's arms, her head was stuck in his chest, she let out a piercing whistle and a series of messy breaths.

Muyan didn't dare to look up, he could smell Jiang Yenan's scent, it was still the same as before, faintly like agarwood.For some reason, he suddenly wanted to cry.

Jiang Yenan was like a nightmare to him. Now that he woke up from this dream, he opened his eyes, except for the slight tremor in his heart, he could still feel the tenderness of those little details in the dream.

Jiang Yenan has always been a gentle person, his ruthlessness, and the pain he inflicted on himself all stemmed from his illness.

More than once, Muyan sighed in her heart, feeling that fate was fooling herself.

They used to love each other so much, but in the end, the method was wrong.

"Muyan?" Jiang Yenan raised his hand, inserted his fingers into Muyan's hair, and slowly held his face.

The confusion on Jiang Yenan's face turned into surprise after touching Muyan's red eye sockets, he opened his mouth, not knowing how to ask.I heard Muyan say: "Your new book... can you tell me about it?"
