why are they still in love

Xiao Zhaoshan Heyi slept in the studio all night, and was woken up by the noise from the back street of the gallery until noon.

There was an important dinner party in the evening. He casually collected the painting tools that had been hanging out all morning, washed up in the bathroom, locked the studio, went out from the back door of the gallery, took a taxi, and prepared to go home.

Chi Yan went to work, Xiao Chining went to school, and the house was empty.Maybe it's because it's too heavy, or maybe it's without his approval, yesterday's suitcase is still placed by the entrance, without even putting down the lever.Xiao Zhaoshan put his coat on his arm, stared at the suitcase with his name tag on it to change his shoes, and began to think about finding another nanny who was strong enough to beat Xiao Chining.

After taking a comfortable bath and shaving, and still having four hours to spare, Xiao Zhaoshan changed into a pure cotton linen-colored home clothes, and opened the suitcase.

Next month's No. 20 will be Chi Yan's 41st birthday. Last year at this time, he was out of town with an exhibition, and he couldn't celebrate her full birthday properly. This year, he wanted to spend more money to make up for it.He bought a limited edition handmade vinyl for Chi Yan in Italy, which was her favorite Schubert when she was young, and a Panerai 920 moon phase watch that he asked a friend to order before a business trip.

The first time he saw this watch, he felt that it was very suitable for Chi Yan: the front of the dial represented the reinforced concrete in the modern city, and the gears and hands were sharp and modern. The time difference between the solar time and the 24-hour system; the back of the dial represents the vast universe, with the sun like the crown of the Statue of Liberty, the snow-capped stars, and the moon carved out of Galileo's drawings.

Xiao Zhaoshan ordered the latitude and longitude of Beijing. No matter where Chi Yan is, she can simultaneously know the weather of Beijing's moonlit night on this watch.

Useless and charming.

Therefore, even though this watch was not commercial enough and its appearance was too ostentatious, even if it was sent out, it would probably only be played during the rare holidays, but Xiao Zhaoshan only hesitated for three seconds, and paid the money happily.

Of course, not only for Chi Yan, but also for himself.

Buying this gift brought back some of his youthful ecstasy that had been a thing of the past.Smoke the cigarettes wrapped by myself, go to the billiard hall to gamble with strangers all night, invite the most shy and beautiful girl to drink the most expensive wine in the shop in the ballroom, and then lure her to drink Hennessy in the corner of the booth. .

As a young man, he is not short of money and is not afraid of troubles, because his single mother has a good family background, and he has successfully started a business in middle age and never squanders it.

After experiencing betrayal, she lived a life of abstinence like a Christian in the Middle Ages, as if talking about a business would make her orgasm more easily than talking to her lover, so that when 16-year-old Xiao Zhaoshan inadvertently When a pile of massage sticks of various types was found in the closet of the master bedroom, he felt hot and excited, and shot twice at the pile of poor instruments.

Later, when he entered university, he gradually realized that he had no resistance to "beauty".

His mother was a slutty, lonely, resilient saint of incomparable beauty.Falling in love with Chi Yan, who is similar to his mother in a certain way, is also within his expectation.

Back then, Xiao Zhaoshan still had shoulder-length hair, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose and thin lips, just like a mixed-race star who came out of a pictorial.As a little-known freshman, his first oil painting that was put up for auction sold for a sky-high price of 76 yuan, which was really an anecdote in the circle at that time.For a time, he became a prodigal son and genius who was well-known far and wide, and all criticism and praise flocked to him.

But he doesn't care, like every pretentious young man, he can play as he wants, and paint as he wants.

At the ballroom dance held by the Student Union and Tsinghua University on Christmas Eve, he naturally became the focus of the audience.Chi Yan is another.Just standing together from the two ends of the crowd, the two are like idol drama actors who accidentally walked into a documentary film set, a golden boy and a jade girl, a match made in heaven.

The facts are indeed not very different from what everyone imagined.Chi Yan and him are the same kind of people. They have similar aesthetics and compatible ideas. They like to listen to Schubert and Johnny Cash, and think that DINK is the most comfortable and efficient marriage model; After hugging each other for a whole Saturday afternoon, they can still get a tacit kiss with just a turn of the head without prior notice during the busy intervals between each other.

Xiao Zhaoshan got up and hid the unopened watch in his studio—he had already asked the worker to replace it with a new combination lock, and the vinyl was used as a present. To Chi Yan.

Drinks are inevitable for dinner, but he was busy painting last night, so he had an eighteen-hour fast before he noticed it.After pushing the suitcase into the storage cabinet, Xiao Zhaoshan went down to the first floor, preparing to make a place for himself to cook a bowl of noodles.

Although he was already hungry and he was not in a hurry to fill his stomach, but when he thought that there used to be a dedicated person to do these chores, and he didn't need to waste his time at all, he would inevitably feel irritable.

Xiao Zhaoshan walked into the kitchen, turned on the fire and boiled a pot of water, then turned around and went to the dining room, wanting to see if there were instant toppings like canned ham sausage that could be served right away.

As a result, when he opened the refrigerator, the picture was completely different from what he had imagined. The refrigerator was not bleak. On the middle layer were several dishes of untouched side dishes, including cold cucumbers and pickled radishes, and a sliced ​​and baked dish. Fried hard boiled eggs with tahini.

Speaking of drama, although Chi Yan is in the catering business, she has no interest in eating or cooking.This could only be Xiao Chining's handwriting.

For some unknown reason, Xiao Chining stuck a yellow post-it note on the edge of the refrigerator's partition.Xiao Zhaoshan took another look at the excellent-looking side dish, and finally reached out his hand reluctantly to peel off the post-it note.

I have to admit that Xiao Chining's handwriting is quite beautiful, and the words on the sticky notes are even more beautiful than the words.

"The side dishes are in the microwave for half a minute, and the preserved egg and lean meat porridge is in the rice cooker. I set the heat preservation before going out, and I can eat it when I put it out."

He left two blank lines and wrote:

"Who was the first to discover this surprise?"

"Could it be you, Dad?"

Signed: "Your son will stay on September 9."

Made it fresh this morning.

But Xiao Zhaoshan didn't feel any surprise. After reading it, his eyelids twitched ominously.He raised his hand and closed the refrigerator door and walked back to the kitchen. He turned on the rice cooker, and the hot and fresh aroma of meat porridge came to his face instantly.

With a "bang", he slammed down the lid, crumpled up the post-it note with even more annoyance, and threw it into the trash can.

Originally thought that after being taken care of by Qiu Yin for so many years, Xiao Chining could not cook at all. He might not even know how to turn on the natural gas stove or whether the egg fried rice should be scrambled first or fried rice first, so last month, when he first The first time I ate dinner made by Xiao Chining with Chi Yan, even though this achievement had nothing to do with him, he suddenly felt proud at a certain moment.

This made him feel shameless and ridiculous, but he really didn't expect that the brat Xiao Chining could cook so well, it was so good that he was furious at the moment.

Angry Xiao Chining forced him to be curious and explore: what kind of person is "Xiao Chining" and what plans are he planning.

He was ashamed that his brain and body were controlled by the resurgent hunger.

With a sullen face, Xiao Zhaoshan resigned himself to turning off the fire, poured the water he was planning to use down into the pool, and then heated up the side dishes one by one for half a minute according to the instructions on the destroyed post-it notes, and sat at the dining table silently I drank two bowls of porridge and ate up all the dishes.
