       Chen Yuncheng didn’t drive when he came there, but now he drove Ning Junyan’s car parked in the hospital parking lot to take Guan Anqin back to school.

       Guan Anqin sat in the passenger seat and was silent all the way.

       Chen Yuncheng knew that she definitely couldn’t be completely at ease, so he persuaded her, “If Ning Junyan said he would be fine, then he will be fine, don’t worry.”

       Guan Anqin turned to look at him, and whispered, “Dr. Ning is very awesome.”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled when he heard the words, “He is very awesome.”

       Guan Anqin seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say it. She only said “thank you” to Chen Yuncheng when he dropped her off at the school gate.

       Chen Yuncheng parked his car at the roadside and saw her walk into the school before turning around and leaving. He didn’t go back to rest. He already called Shi Peng and told him to go and watch over the shop in the market for the past few nights, so Chen Yuncheng drove away from the school and back to the hospital.

       It was definitely impossible to see Guan Anlin at this time, so Chen Yuncheng parked the car in the underground parking lot and took the elevator to Ning Junyan’s department.

       Ning Junyan had not rested at this time, he was in the ICU ward explaining post-operative precautions to the nurses on duty, and only when he came out of the ICU ward and went back to his office did he meet Chen Yuncheng who was waiting for him outside.

       “Why aren’t you going back?” Ning Junyan was a little surprised.

       Chen Yuncheng stood against the wall and looked up at him, “I don’t want to go back alone.”

       Ning Junyan asked, “Want to be with me?”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded.

       The corners of Ning Jun Yan’s mouth curled very slightly as he stretched out his hand towards him, and said in an arrogant tone, “Come.”

       Chen Yuncheng followed Ning Junyan into the office. Ning Junyan extended his hand and locked the door behind him, hugged Chen Yuncheng and sat down on the sofa, and made sure that Chen Yuncheng sat on his lap.

       “You are too tired,” Chen Yuncheng wanted to get up. Ning Junyan had been standing up all night for the surgery, and Chen Yuncheng really didn’t want to put his weight on him again.

       Ning Junyan hugged him tightly and said, “I’m not tired.”

       Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help laughing, “Don’t you think this position is like hugging a child?”

       Ning Junyan asked him, “Aren’t you scared?”

       Chen Yuncheng looked up at him.

       Ning Junyan’s tone was flat, “Hold me if you’re afraid.”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled and raised his arms to wrap his arms around his neck, “I’m not afraid now, I won’t be afraid when you are here.”

       Ning Junyan even patted him on the back, as if to comfort him.

       Chen Yuncheng leaned his head on Ning Junyan’s shoulder and said, “I was really scared just now, just like that time when I failed to pull Zhou Yan back in time, I was very worried that something would happen to Guan Anlin, and I wondered why I didn’t stop him in the first place, knowing Yu Jie is an old fox, and he can’t play him.”

       Ning Junyan said softly, “Precisely because Yu Jie was an old fox, no one expected him to be that rough and straightforward to kill someone, right?”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded, he suddenly thought maybe they were too kind, so they couldn’t predict the evil of human nature. He felt very uncomfortable and thought of Guan Anlin who was lying on the hospital bed, and Zhou Yan who was locked in prison. He even couldn’t help thinking about his parents who died young, and his foster father who had tried to knock Ning Junyan to death with a shovel that night.

       He had seen so many ugly and evil human natures, but he was still kind, so he would be even sadder.

       Chen Yuncheng hugged Ning Junyan’s neck tightly, rubbed his forehead on his shoulder, and called his name, “Ning Junyan.”

       “Hm?” Ning Junyan looked down at him.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “What would I do without you?”

       Without Ning Junyan, Chen Yuncheng might not be able to leave his foster father and foster mother now. He might not continue to steal things, but he certainly wouldn’t be able to live the life he had now, and he might be tormented by his conscience and feelings all the time.

       Ning Junyan said to him, “Without me, there would be other doctors who would have saved Guan Anlin’s life.”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head, he didn’t just want to talk about Guan Anlin.

       Unexpectedly, Ning Junyan continued, “But without me, no one would have loved you that much.”

       Chen Yuncheng laughed when he heard the words, and asked Ning Junyan, “Am I so unattractive that no one will love me except you?”

       Ning Junyan said in his calm tone, “You have lived until twenty-nine years old, has anyone else loved you besides me?”

       Chen Yuncheng thought for a while, and suddenly felt sad, “No.” He was persuaded by Ning Junyan, “Alright, only you love me, then you have to love me all the time.”

       Ning Junyan kissed him on the forehead and replied, “Alright.”

       Later, Chen Yuncheng fell asleep directly in Ning Junyan’s arms.

       Ning Junyan directly carried him up, left the office, and walked to the duty room on the other side of the corridor.

       The second-line duty room was a separate room with a 1.8-meter bed. The sheets and quilt cover were just changed today, but the pillows and quilts were for one person.

       Ning Junyan put Chen Yuncheng on the bed, took off his shoes, and helped him take off his coat.

       Chen Yuncheng woke up briefly, but the lights in the room were not turned on. He was a little confused about where he was in the dark, only hearing Ning Junyan say to him, “Go back to sleep.” He was tense all night and was now too tired, so he fell asleep again.

       Ning Junyan slept next to him afterwards, sharing a quilt with him, and casually folded his coat as a pillow under his head.

       The two spent the rest of the night quietly on the big bed in the duty room.

       Early the next morning, when Ning Junyan’s phone alarm clock rang, Chen Yuncheng also woke up. He opened his eyes and found with a bewildered look that he had no idea where he was.

       Ning Junyan said to him, “You can still sleep for a while.”

       Chen Yuncheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, “Where is this?”

       “The hospital duty room,” Ning Junyan answered him, giving him a kiss on the lips.

       It took Chen Yuncheng some time to react, and he suddenly felt very embarrassed, afraid that someone would come in and see him, so he quickly rolled over.

       Ning Junyan said to him, “If you don’t want to sleep again then I will take you to breakfast later.”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded.

       Visits in ICU were not allowed, but after nine o’clock in the morning, one could look through the glass windows and see the patients.

       Chen Yuncheng followed Ning Junyan and finished breakfast in the hospital canteen. After Ning Junyan finished his shift, he went in to see Guan Anlin.

       Guan Anlin had already woken up, but his whole body was still very weak. He has a tube inserted into his body and was lying on the hospital bed inhaling oxygen. He noticed Chen Yuncheng standing outside the glass window and tried to raise his hand, but the nurse saw him and scolded him.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t dare to stay for long and left the visiting room of the ICU.

       Ning Junyan got off the night shift and drove home with Chen Yuncheng. After they took a shower and changed into pyjamas, the two of them lay on the bed to catch up on sleep.

       Chen Yuncheng had something on his mind and couldn’t fall asleep for a while, so he reached out to pick up the mobile phone next to the bed, and secretly glanced at Ning Junyan. When he saw that Ning Junyan seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, he planned to get out of bed and go out to make a phone call.

       In the end, just as he moved, Ning Junyan extended his arms and hugged him back.

       “Don’t go,” Ning Junyan said with his eyes closed.

       Chen Yuncheng kissed his eyes, “You sleep, I’ll go out and make some phone calls.”

       Ning Junyan said, “Just do it here.”

       Chen Yuncheng was a little amused, “It will disturb your sleep.”

       Ning Junyan had no intention of letting go of his hand at all.

       Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to lie on the bed, and first called Wu Xiaozhu to arrange work in the store. He said that Guan Anlin had a car accident, but he didn’t say how serious it was. He only said that he might not be back for a while, and he would go there in the afternoon.

       When he was on the phone, Ning Junyan obviously hadn’t fallen asleep, he slipped his hand into the hem of his pyjamas and traced gentle circles against the soft skin of his belly.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t stop him, and after finishing the phone call with Wu Xiaozhu, he called Long Zhanyu again.

       Before making this call, Chen Yuncheng was a little hesitant. He felt that Long Zhanyu must have been busy last night, and he didn’t know if he was still busy or just had a rest.

       The phone rang twice and was quickly connected, Long Zhanyu’s hoarse voice came through, “Chen Yuncheng?”

       Chen Yuncheng asked him, “How is it going?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “I’m still busy now, I’ll call you when there is a result here.”

       Ning Junyan seemed to hear Chen Yuncheng calling Long Zhanyu and leaned closer to kiss his sensitive earlobe and neck.

       Chen Yuncheng shuddered and raised one hand to cover Ning Junyan’s mouth.

       Ning Junyan frowned unhappily.

       Chen Yuncheng said to Long Zhanyu, “Thank you for your hard work, and take care of your body.”

       After he hung up the phone, he released his hand covering Ning Junyan’s lips.

       Ning Junyan was very displeased, “Why didn’t you tell me to take care of my body?”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him, “I told you to sleep well.”

       “Can’t sleep, I need to kiss my wife first,” Ning Junyan said, and then kissed Chen Yuncheng’s lips, delaying the two of them from going to bed for another few minutes.

       At the time Chen Yuncheng rushed to the hospital, Guan Anlin had already been admitted to the emergency operating room.

       Outside the operating room, Long Zhanyu was standing alone against the wall. Chen Yuncheng walked up to him quickly, his rapid breathing had not yet slowed down, and asked, “What’s going on?”

       Long Zhanyu answered him, “It’s not clear yet, but he had a fight with Yu Jie on the side of the road before the accident. I suspect that Yu Jie pushed him on purpose.”

       When he heard this, Chen Yuncheng grabbed Long Zhanyu’s lapel, “I said it would be dangerous and told him not to go, yet you encouraged him to continue the investigation!”

       Long Zhanyu looked down at Chen Yuncheng’s hand tightly gripping his lapel, and said, “Simmer down, I didn’t encourage Guan Anlin to investigate Yu Jie.”

       Chen Yuncheng stared at him fiercely without saying anything. His eyes then gradually eased after a while, and he also let go of his grip on Long Zhanyu.

       “How is he doing now?” Chen Yuncheng glanced at the closed door of the operating room.

       Long Zhanyu said, “It’s going to be open-heart surgery, Dr. Ning went in.”

       “Ning Junyan went in?” Chen Yuncheng felt like his strength had been instantly drained from him, and sat down on the chair by the wall. His eyes were a little blank as he said, “I grew up without my parents, and I’ve always treated them like they were my own.”

       He was not only talking about Guan Anlin but also Zhou Yan who was in prison.

       The feeling of watching his loved ones leave, or stepping into a desperate situation was making him feel he was too powerless, and he is really afraid.

       Long Zhanyu walked up to him and squatted down, looking up at him, “No one would have thought that Yu Jie would be that mad.”

       “Where’s Yu Jie?” Chen Yuncheng asked.

       Long Zhanyu took a deep breath, “He’s already been arrested and is now at the branch office making a statement.”

       “Can you convict him?”

       Long Zhanyu replied this time, “Yes, trust me.” He was silent for a while, and continued, “Although the case has not been formally filed, the case is now being investigated for intentional homicide.”

       Chen Yuncheng’s heart was in turmoil. What happened to Yu Jie at this time was far less important to him than Guan Anlin coming out of the operating room safely.

       Long Zhanyu sat with him for a while, went to the corner and made a phone call, and then told Chen Yuncheng that he was leaving, “I’ll go to the branch office and ask my colleagues.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked up at him and nodded.

       After Long Zhanyu left, Chen Yuncheng sat alone outside the operating room and waited. He felt cold all over his body, and there was wet sweat on his forehead.

       After more than half an hour, Guan Anqin walked over from the corridor with a small bag on her back. She stopped when she saw Chen Yuncheng, and called out softly, “Cheng ge?”

       Chen Yuncheng stood up, “Xiao Qin, you are here?”

       Guan Anqin’s eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked up, “How is my brother?”

       Chen Yuncheng could be vulnerable when he was alone, but he had to be strong in front of Guan Anqin, he said, “Dr. Ning is operating on him inside, he will be fine.”

       Guan Anqin nodded.

       Chen Yuncheng asked her to sit down, went to pour her a cup of hot water, came back and sat beside Guan Anqin, and didn’t speak again after that.

       The white lights in the hallway always look a bit bleak.

       It was the second time Chen Yuncheng sat outside the operating room and wait for Ning Junyan. Last time he only felt very worried, but this time he was not only worried but also afraid. He was not in the mood to call Long Zhanyu, and leaned his head against the wall, trying to make his breathing even and soothing, not wanting Guan Anqin to feel his nervousness.

       But this time Ning Junyan didn’t let him wait that long.

       It had been more than three hours since the surgery began when the doors to the operating room opened. Ning Junyan was still wearing the surgical gown and had not changed, walked up to Chen Yuncheng as if he knew he would be waiting there, smiled at him and winked.

       There was no need to say anything at this time, Chen Yuncheng stood up and hugged Ning Junyan.

       Ning Junyan’s body smelled of sweat, and even his clothes were slightly damp, but Chen Yuncheng didn’t care about all those things at this time, he only felt that everything about Ning Junyan was beautiful.

       “Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” Ning Junyan said calmly, but he tightly hugged Chen Yuncheng’s waist with one hand, and kissed his ear. Then he turned to Guan Anqin, who was also looking at him nervously, and said, “Your brother’s surgery was successful, and he will be fine.”

       Guan Anqin was about to cry, she said, “Thank you, Dr. Ning.”

       Ning Junyan stretched his slender fingers into Chen Yuncheng’s hair and said to him, “He should be observed in the ICU for two days after leaving the operating room. You won’t be able to see him tonight, so why don’t you go back and rest?”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t answer, he turned to look at Guan Anqin, “I’ll take you back to school, you can come back tomorrow.”

       Guan Anqin didn’t know what was going on in the ICU, so she asked in a low voice, “Can I see him through the glass?”

       Ning Junyan said to her, “You won’t be able to see him, go back and rest.”

       Guan Anqin nodded.

       Long Zhanyu went to the branch office. Because of the possible involvement of intentional murder, the case was now under the jurisdiction of the branch office, and Yu Jieren was still locked in the interrogation room of the branch office.

       The deputy captain of the fourth squadron, Zhang Zheng, who is in charge of the case, was Long Zhan Yu’s senior in the Police Academy. Zhang Zheng saw Long Zhanyu while smoking in the corridor, and raised his hand to greet him, “Xiao Long, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

       Long Zhanyu smiled, “You guys are busy with big cases every day, how can you have time to see me?”

       Zhang Zheng smiled when he heard this and tossed him a cigarette.

       Long Zhanyu stood beside Zhang Zheng and lit a cigarette. He took a slow puff and then asked, “How about that Yu Jie?”

       Zhang Zheng looked at him, “I heard that he was captured by your people?”

       Long Zhanyu nodded, “I know the victim.”

       Zhang Zheng said, “This man was very stubborn. He insisted that the other party hit him. Then they pushed each other, and he fell to the ground, the other party took two steps back and was hit by a car.”

       At that time, Long Zhanyu asked someone to restrain Yu Jie. After calling the command centre, he followed Guan Anlin to the hospital. He listened to the general situation of the follow-up investigation on the phone, and now he asked carefully, “What about the surveillance? The car that hit him didn’t have a dashcam?”

       Zhang Zheng shook his head, “That place is a surveillance blind spot. The car that hit the person was a very old broken van without a dashcam. And it was dark at the time. The driver said he didn’t pay attention to the situation on the side of the road and only suddenly saw someone rushing out.”

       Long Zhanyu asked again, “Where are the witnesses?”

       Zhang Zheng answered him, “I’m still looking.” After speaking, he glanced at Long Zhanyu, “So concerned? Should I hand it over to you guys?”

       Long Zhanyu laughed, “Okay, you can borrow me as a labour force for free. I will definitely not let Yu Jie go.”

       Zhang Zheng heard the words and said, “I mean it. I’ll apply tomorrow for a temporary transfer of personnel from your squadron.”

       Long Zhanyu looked towards the lighted interrogation room, “Can I ask him a few words?”

       Zhang Zheng said, “Go ahead.”

       In the interrogation room, Yu Jie sat alone on a cold wooden chair with his hands handcuffed to the small table in front of him.

       Long Zhanyu walked in and sat down on the chair opposite him.

       Yu Jie looked at him and said nothing.

       Long Zhanyu said, “Guan Anlin has finished his surgery and his life is not in danger.”

       Yu Jie smiled and said, “Really? That’s really great.”

       Long Zhanyu said again, “That place downstairs of your company, you know that there is a blind spot for surveillance, right?”

       Yu Jie didn’t answer, just asked, “Is this a formal interrogation, officer?”

       Long Zhanyu had no paper and pen in front of him, nor did he use a computer to record. Obviously, it was not a formal interrogation. He did not answer Yu Jie’s question, but continued, “You must’ve thought that broken van must not have a car recorder, right? Did you know that no one in the nearby office building can see what you’re doing from the windows? Now you must be considering how to plead guilty to be seen as sincere enough to give you a slightly lighter sentence when you are sentenced.”

       Yu Jie had a sincere look on his face, “Officer, I really didn’t push him on purpose. Look at my face, it’s the marks where he pushed me to the ground and bruised me.” There were very obvious scratches on his face.

       Long Zhanyu nodded, “It’s okay, you should think about it yourself.”

       He came out of the interrogation room and found Zhang Zheng, “Show me the surveillance.”

       Zhang Zheng said yes, but then said, “We have checked the surveillance in detail, and it is true that nothing was captured.”

       Long Zhanyu said, “I want to find all the vehicles that passed by at the time of the incident. There will always be a dashcam to capture the process.”

       Zhang Zheng was a little surprised, “Are you going to find them one by one now?”

       Long Zhanyu said to him, “A lot of dashcams are going to overwrite the recordings. If the owner of the car didn’t notice it, and we delayed it for a long time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find the records for that time. It’s best to contact the car owner in time for tomorrow morning before work.”

       Zhang Zheng looked at him for a while, put his arms around his shoulders and led him outside, and said, “Go, I’ll find someone to go with you, and also, I’ll ask Captain Xia to call the fifth squadron tomorrow and borrow you for two days. “

The author has something to say:
Some readers have a bit of hatred for the character of Long Zhanyu. It doesn’t matter, but please don’t be malicious to the author. The author did not discredit a certain profession, and all the characters serve the plot and do not want to convey any point of view through a web article. The main purpose of writing the article is to share the meng¹cuteness points.

Everyone should never learn about a certain profession or group through online articles, because the author’s understanding is very little and one-sided. Entry-level police officers work very hard and there is no saying that they do not handle criminal cases. If you want to have a detailed understanding, you can watch documentaries or something. The trivial matters you think have certain consequences are all criminal cases, and they are all handled by the police at the police station, but they only have certain jurisdiction for some areas.

       Guan Anlin had been very busy outside recently, and Chen Yuncheng knew what he was busy with. However, he couldn’t make up his mind about whether to dissuade him.

       After all, it was not Chen Yuncheng who sat in prison for those two years. Life in prison was difficult, so no matter how much Guan Anlin hated Yu Jie, Chen Yuncheng could understand it.

       Guan Anlin showed a lot of interest in Yu Jie’s so-called investment project. He put a lot of time and energy into Yu Jie’s side and even got to know the staff of Yu Jie’s company well.

       Yu Jie’s company was not large in scale. Previously, Long Zhanyu said that he hadn’t found any specific business projects, but Guan Anlin had seen Yu Jie’s company’s accountants doing the finance. Guan Anlin curiously approached her and asked her what she was doing. The accountant said she was doing it for other companies.

       Guan Anlin couldn’t understand the complicated information on the bills, so he went to talk to the accountant when he had nothing else to do. The accountant’s surname was Yuan, a young girl in her twenties, with a pair of glasses on her round face, and she was brought to laugh by Guan Anlin.

       Yu Jie asked Guan Anlin, “Have you taken a fancy to our little Yuan?”

       Guan Anlin smiled and said, “Isn’t she quite cute?”

       Yu Jie asked him again, “Are you planning to continue business with Chen Yuncheng?”

       Guan Anlin bit his cigarette and said, “It’s tiring and the money isn’t much.”

       Yu Jie looked at him with a smirk, “How can you make money by doing business honestly these days?”

       Guan Anlin raised his finger and pointed to his head, and said, “He’s too single-minded and he’s been stubborn for so many years. He always thinks that you are the one who caused all of that in the first place.”

       Yu Jie put his arms around his shoulders, “How many times have I explained that matter, it was just a misunderstanding, and I was tricked by others, don’t you believe me now?”

       “I believe in you. If I didn’t believe you, why would I still be working with you? I’ll just take it easy with Chen Yuncheng now. After all, we’ve been brothers for so many years, I don’t want to fall out with him, I’ll talk to him when the project is up and running.” At this point, Guan Anlin began to urge Yu Jie to hurry up with the formalities and prepare to start their Columbarium tower project.

       Yu Jie said, “Don’t be in a hurry, it’s not a day or two things. There are too many people who need to be dealt with by the government. I will take you there to meet the abbot of their temple as soon as it is done.”

       After Yu Jie walked away, Guan Anlin took a hard puff of a cigarette and then exhaled a long breath. He lowered his head and thought back on what he said just now. He felt that there should be no flaws, and he couldn’t help feeling a little smug, thinking that now it was his turn to deceive Yu Jie around.

       That afternoon, Guan Anlin was sitting next to the accountant’s desk chatting with her. He took out his mobile phone and sent a few messages and found that the battery was dead, so he said to the accountant, “Little Yuan girl, help me charge the battery.”

       The accountant’s age was actually not younger than him, but she was very happy to hear him call her little girl, so she took his mobile phone and plugged it into her own charger to charge his phone.

       Guan Anlin forgot to bring his mobile phone when he left in the afternoon, took the lift down to the ground floor before he remembered, and took the lift upstairs again.

       When he entered the office, the door was still open, but most of the employees had already left, leaving the door of Yu Jie’s office still open with lights on inside.

       After hesitating for a while, Guan Anlin didn’t go to greet Yu Jie, but just took his mobile phone and was about to leave. Just as he walked to the door, he passed a short middle-aged man. Guan Anlin took a look at the middle-aged man, felt very strange, and saw that he had entered Yu Jie’s company, so he stopped him and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

       The middle-aged man said, “I’ve made an appointment with Boss Yu.”

       Guan Anlin nodded and said, “Oh.” He stood there, watching the man enter Yu Jie’s office, without thinking too much, and walked towards the elevator.

       As soon as he walked into the elevator, Guan Anlin was suddenly curious about what this person was going to say to Yu Jie at this time, and when he returned, he found that the door of the office had been closed.

       Guan Anlin didn’t have a key, so naturally he couldn’t get in. But the door was a glass door, and even though it was locked, you could still see the lights in Yu Jie’s office from the outside. So he must not have left yet and was talking to the man from earlier.

       He actually wanted to catch Yu Jie in the act, but he immediately became interested in this middle-aged man who needed to sneak around and talk to Yu Jie behind closed doors, so he took the elevator down to the first floor without leaving, hid in the corner and waited patiently.

       Guan Anlin waited until it was almost dark before the middle-aged man came downstairs. After waiting for more than an hour, he secretly took two photos of the man with his mobile phone and hesitantly sent them to Long Zhanyu, “Can you find out what this is?” person?”

       Long Zhanyu replied quickly, “I’m not a private detective.”

       Guan Anlin didn’t know if Long Zhanyu would help him with the investigation, so he followed the middle-aged man out from a distance and saw him hailing a taxi by the side of the road, so he turned around and walked towards the subway station.

       When he was halfway there, Long Zhanyu’s phone call suddenly came.

       Guan Anlin answered the phone, and heard Long Zhanyu say, “Where did you meet this person? This man is a fraudster who is on the run online, named Wang Yongcheng.”

       Wang Yongcheng? Guan Anlin thought for a while and felt that this name was not familiar to him.

       Long Zhanyu continued, “He just lied to the owner of the plastic surgery hospital some time ago, let me see—” There was a click of the mouse from his side, “The person in charge of the case was reported by Shu Rong. He ran away after paying a million rent.”

       Guan Anlin reacted immediately, “You said Chen Yuncheng’s evil mother-in-law met a scammer?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “What? Oh, it’s Chen Yuncheng’s boyfriend’s mother.”

       Guan Anlin stood where he was, held the phone close to his ear, and said, “fvck! I’m sure enough, he hooked up with Yu Jie!”

       Long Zhanyu asked him, “Where is the man?”

       Guan Anlin returned to the place where Wang Yongcheng left just now, and the taxi was no longer there. He tried to recall the taxi license plate but found that he couldn’t remember it either.

       Long Zhanyu said, “Don’t worry, let’s come over and adjust the monitoring to see if we can find any clues.”

       Guan Anlin asked him, “Do you want me to wait for you here?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “No need, pay attention to your own safety, don’t let Yu Jie and the others notice.”

       After he hung up the phone, Guan Anlin looked in the direction the taxi had left, knowing full well that he couldn’t see anything else. At this moment, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind him.

       Guan Anlin turned around and saw Yu Jie who was smiling all over his face.

       Yu Jie asked him, “What are you looking at?”

       Guan Anlin followed with a smile, “It’s nothing, why were you working late?”

       Yu Jie replied, “I just had a business talk with a friend and I’m getting ready to go back now.”

       Guan Anlin nodded, “I’m also planning to go back.”

       Yu Jie asked him, “You didn’t drive today, did you? I’ll take you home.”

       Guan Anlin didn’t even think about it, and immediately refused, “No, I’ll take the subway.”

       Yu Jie put his hands into his coat pockets, the valuable watch on his left wrist was still exposed, and looked at him with a gentle smile, “Why? Wouldn’t it be nice if I gave you a lift? My friend said just now that he saw you waiting downstairs for over an hour, so you should be tired of waiting too.”

       Guan Anlin’s face changed, and then he laughed dryly, “Luckily I’m not too tired either, so I’ll go first.”

       Yu Jie stood at the same spot, looked at his back as he left, and said to him, “Guan Anlin, you really don’t have a bright mind. you’re really not very bright, you deserve to be useless for the rest of your life, and you can’t make any money. You can only work for others.”

       Guan Anlin stopped, turned around and looked at Yu Jie viciously, “What are you trying to say?”

       Yu Jie still had that calm look, “I said you have a problem with your head. I  genuinely wanted to take you to make money, and what happened back then, if Chen Yuncheng hadn’t called the police, would you have been arrested and jailed? Instead of holding a grudge against him, what do you want to do by coming after me now and keeping an eye on me at all times?”

       Guan Anlin walked up to Yu Jie and grabbed his lapels, “If Chen Yuncheng hadn’t called the police, I would have followed you to manufacture drugs, and I would be sentenced to more than just two years in prison by now!”

       “That’s why you’re an idiot!” Yu Jie said, “If he hadn’t called the police you wouldn’t have been caught at all, and we would have made a lot of money together. You can’t even afford your own house now! Do you think Chen Yuncheng is being good to you? He doesn’t think of you highly at all. Do you see his attitude towards people like Ning Junyan and his attitude towards you? In his eyes, you are like mud in the gutter, which can’t even be pasted on the wall. You still think you are his brother, you who have been in prison, who would treat you as a brother!”

       Guan Anlin raised his fist and was about to hit Yu Jie’s face, almost touching Yu Jie’s face, but he stopped suddenly, he realised that Yu Jie was deliberately provoking him for a reason he didn’t know. Someone like Yu Jie wasn’t worth the punch he threw.

       He stared hard at Yu Jie and was just about to let go when he was pushed heavily in the chest by Yu Jie.

       Guan Anlin stepped back unconsciously and saw Yu Jie fall to the ground by himself, while he heard a fierce car horn, and then was sent flying into the air by something.

       Chen Yuncheng had been restless throughout that afternoon.

       The temperature had cooled down a bit in the past two days. As the National Day¹1st of October approached, the temperature was getting colder by the day. The big trees in the trade market had also begun to lose their leaves with a thick layer of yellow leaves covering the ground.

       Ning Junyan was on duty at night, so Chen Yuncheng was not in a hurry to leave. He asked Wu Xiaozhu and Shi Peng to leave work first and stayed behind to wait for Guan Anlin to come back. However, it was almost eight o’clock in the evening but he hadn’t returned.

       Chen Yuncheng wanted to make a call to Guan Anlin. He just took out his phone, but before he could dial the number, the phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID showed Long Zhanyu’s name.

       “Hello?” Chen Yuncheng’s heart beat violently as he connected the call.

       Long Zhanyu’s voice came over, “Guan Anlin had a car accident and had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.”

       Chen Yuncheng finally knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from. He turned pale for a moment and asked, “Is it serious? Which hospital is it?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “It’s very serious. He was sent to the No.2 Hospital.”

       That was the hospital where Ning Junyan worked.

       When he returned home, Chen Yuncheng opened the door and saw that the light in the living room had been switched off, leaving only the kitchen and bedroom with lights on.

       He walked lightly to the side of the sofa and saw Long Zhanyu resting on a pillow, covered with a thin quilt, already fast asleep. Then he walked gently towards the kitchen.

       Ning Junyan was washing dishes in the kitchen.

       Chen Yuncheng walked up to him and said to him, “I’ll continue, you go and take a shower first.”

       Ning Junyan didn’t stop what he was doing. He just turned his head to look at Chen Yuncheng, and said, “You go and shower first.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him, “Then I will stay here with you.”

       Ning Junyan did not object and said in a flat tone, “Then let’s shower together.”

       Chen Yuncheng subconsciously glanced in the direction of the living room outside. He thought that there was still a guest at home, and although it looked like the guest had fallen asleep; if the guest woke up and saw them, he would be embarrassed. So he hesitated and said, “I’d better go shower first. “

       When Ning Junyan returned to the room after taking a shower, it was already very late. When he entered the room, he casually locked the door behind him.

       Chen Yuncheng hadn’t slept yet. He lay on the bed and flipped through the book that Ning Junyan had left next to the pillow, but didn’t read a single word.

       Ning Junyan took off his shoes and went to bed, knelt on the bed like a hunting beast and slowly approached Chen Yuncheng until he was completely pressed under him.

       Chen Yuncheng was crushed for a moment and couldn’t move, pretending to struggle, “You are going to crush me to death.”

       Ning Junyan grabbed his neck in one bite.

       Chen Yuncheng was bitten so painfully by him, he shook his head and said, “It hurts! Are you a dog?” But he couldn’t shake Ning Junyan away, and he went back to push him, only to have Ning Junyan clasp his hand and interlock his fingers. The next second Ning Junyan loosened his teeth, turned his head sideways and kissed Chen Yuncheng’s lips.

       He was pinned down until he was breathless, Chen Yuncheng ducked behind and said, “Not tonight.”

       Ning Junyan’s straight nose rubbed against Chen Yuncheng’s cheek, “I’m on duty tomorrow.”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “There is still a guest outside.”

       “He fell asleep.”

       “He might wake up.” The soundproofing of this house was average, and Chen Yuncheng really could not guarantee whether Long Zhanyu, who was on the sofa outside, would hear anything through the door when he woke up.

       Ning Junyan’s tone couldn’t have been flatter, “Then let him listen.”

       “Don’t make trouble,” Chen Yuncheng was really crushed to the point where he was almost out of breath and struggled hard to turn over.

       Only then did Ning Junyan lie sideways next to him, giving him the opportunity to close the book he had just pressed under his chest and put it to one side, and turn over on his back to lie on the bed.

       “He was too drunk,” Ning Junyan said without any emotion. Chen Yuncheng didn’t know whether he was happy or not.

       Chen Yuncheng raised his arm and pillowed it under his head, “He’s under too much pressure from work, I guess, and probably needs to relax a bit.” He thought of Long Zhanyu’s state, working hard all year round, and there was only one person at home, and his life was a mess.

       Ning Junyan suddenly reached out and gently covered his eyes.

       “What’s the matter?” Chen Yuncheng pulled his hand away.

       Ning Junyan was unhappy, “You are thinking about him.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him, suddenly smiled, and said, “Didn’t you talk about him first?”

       Ning Junyan denied it expressionlessly, “I didn’t.”

       For a moment, Chen Yuncheng felt that he and Ning Junyan were back in their childhood, lying on the big wooden bed in the old house. He reached out and pinched Ning Junyan’s nose, and said with a smile, “You didn’t? It’s you.”

       Ning Junyan looked down at him, and after a moment of silence said, “Well, it’s me.”

       Chen Yuncheng felt very happy at once. He wrapped his arms around Ning Junyan’s neck, pulled him closer and kissed his lips, and whispered, “I like you so much.”

       After a while, Chen Yuncheng suddenly said, “How about introducing a girlfriend to Long Zhan Yu, is there any young female doctors or nurses who are mainly interested in looks when dating?”

       Ning Junyan replied casually, “How do I know?” He glanced at Chen Yuncheng, “Why didn’t you ask for Guan Anlin?”

       “Guan Anlin is still young, wait two years, let him save money and buy a house. Long Zhanyu is different, he has a house and is a civil servant, so it should be easier.”

       Ning Junyan looked at him and said nothing.

       Chen Yuncheng asked him with a smile, “What are you looking at me for?”

       Ning Junyan said, “You worry too much.”

       Chen Yuncheng did worry about a lot of things. He had been like this since he was a child, and he couldn’t change it anymore, he asked Ning Junyan, “Am I annoying?”

       Ning Junyan replied, “It’s okay, I’ll love you enough.”

       When Chen Yuncheng was about to go to bed, he went out to the living room to take a look and saw that Long Zhanyu was still sleeping soundly, and the quilt was well covered. He then came back to the bedroom and closed the door gently.

       The next morning, Ning Junyan was going to work, and his alarm clock sounded early in the morning. He reached out to find his mobile phone and turned off the alarm clock. He held Chen Yuncheng in his arms and had no intention of getting up.

       Chen Yuncheng shook his hand and said, “You’re gonna be late for work.”

       Ning Junyan remained motionless.

       Chen Yuncheng felt that he was born to worry about others, so he reached out and patted Ning Junyan’s face lightly, “Get up.”

       Ning Junyan closed his eyes, and said in a low and slurred voice, “Call me husband.”

       Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help laughing, “Aren’t you annoying? It’s none of my business if you get scolded by your director for being late.” Even if he could accept that Ning Junyan called him wife, he couldn’t call him husband no matter what.

       Ning Junyan lifted the quilt a little annoyed and got out of bed. He opened the closet, took out a clean shirt and trousers, put the shirt on, sat on the edge of the bed and put on his trousers, buttoning his trousers while going outside.

       Chen Yuncheng stopped him, “Get dressed before you go out, there is still a guest outside.”

       Ning Junyan stopped in his tracks as if he just remembered that there was someone sleeping on the sofa in the living room, and he said to Chen Yuncheng, “Come and button it for me.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him for a while, pushed back the quilt and got up, knelt on the bed and reached out to him, “Come here.”

       Ning Junyan walked over, and Chen Yuncheng carefully helped him button up his shirt one by one, and also zipped up his unzipped trousers, and patted him with a smile.

       At this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly opened from the outside before Chen Yuncheng could take back his hand from Ning Junyan’s lower body, and the people inside and outside were all stunned for a moment.

       Long Zhanyu’s hair was dishevelled, and when he saw this scene, he subconsciously said, “fvck!” He then hurriedly apologised and reached out to close the door to the room.

       He didn’t mean to. He lay on the sofa and slept until dawn. He was really woken up by the need to urinate, and he stumbled up from the sofa, trying to find the bathroom. Originally, it was also the first time he came to Chen Yuncheng’s house yesterday, and he was not familiar with the location of the room, so he opened a door straight away before he sobered up from his hangover, and he ended up seeing the host’s family making out and flirting.

       Long Zhanyu stretched out his hand to press his forehead, his mind went blank for a moment before he felt the urge to urinate again and hurriedly turned to find the bathroom.

       When Long Zhanyu came out of the bathroom, he met Ning Junyan who was about to go in. When he saw Ning Junyan, he remembered the scene just now. He couldn’t help being a little embarrassed, but he concealed it well and nodded as a greeting.

       Ning Junyan looked calm, said “Morning”, passed Long Zhanyu and went into the bathroom.

       Long Zhanyu went back to the sofa and sat down, covered his face with his hands, raised his head and yawned, and didn’t put his hands down for a long time.

       Until Chen Yuncheng came out and asked him, “Do you want to sleep a little longer or go out for breakfast with me?”

       Long Zhanyu put down his hands and said, “Not sleepy anymore, let’s go eat.” After finishing speaking, he raised his head towards the bathroom, “What about you…?”

       Chen Yuncheng replied, “He goes to work early and goes to the hospital to eat.”

       Long Zhanyu nodded.

       Before Ning Junyan left, he kissed Chen Yuncheng’s lips.

       Long Zhanyu saw it but pretended he didn’t see anything. When he sat down with Chen Yuncheng in a small restaurant outside and waited to eat rice noodles, he asked Chen Yuncheng, “If I ask you a question about personal relationships, will you feel offended?”

       Chen Yuncheng held the chopsticks in his hand, and replied, “You can just ask, I don’t need to answer if I feel offended.”

       Long Zhanyu nodded, “When did you find out that you like men?”

       Chen Yuncheng thought for a while and said, “When I met him.”

       Long Zhanyu continued to ask, “Then before you met him, did you watch movies of men or women?”

       Chen Yuncheng did not answer.

       Long Zhanyu finally said, “Sorry, I asked too many questions.”

       Chen Yuncheng’s cooking skills were actually average, but no one was fussy at dinner tonight. They just ate food and drank wine, and then chat slowly.

       Guan Anlin mentioned the investment project that Yu Jie had told him about. He said that Yu Jie had obtained a piece of land in another province, and it was under the name of a famous local temple, and he wanted to build a columbarium¹A columbarium is a structure for the reverential and usually public storage of funerary urns holding the cremains of the dead. tower.

       “You know how expensive cemeteries are nowadays. The columbarium tower claimed to have been consecrated by an eminent monk and enshrined with śarīra²Buddhism relics left after the cremation of Buddhas or saintly monks, so it costs a fortune just to deposit the ashes in it, and then you have to pay the incense money for the deposit every year. Ashes boxes and spirit tablets don’t take up much space, and the storage capacity of the eighteen-story tower is very valuable, and once it is built, it will definitely make a lot of money.”

       Chen Yuncheng frowned, he couldn’t help looking at Long Zhanyu. He saw Long Zhanyu leaning on the back of the chair and smoking, and he didn’t express anything when he heard what Guan Anlin said.

       “What does he want you to do?” Chen Yuncheng asked Guan Anlin.

       Guan Anlin picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and ate it. After eating, he continued, “He said that it was inconvenient for the company to operate its scope of business now, and he wanted to register the company in my name and then cooperate with the local temple, and he would go through all those subsequent government approval procedures. I’ll be responsible for pulling in investments, and I’ll get my own percentage when I do. He also said he would take me on a site inspection if I was unsure and talk to the temple presidents.”

       Long Zhanyu sneered when he heard this.

       Chen Yuncheng heard Guan Anlin’s words very seriously, and couldn’t help asking, “Do you believe what he said?”

       Guan Anlin glanced at him, with a complaining expression on his face, “I’m not stupid. That old fvcking dog must be trying to get into something, and wait for me to take the blame for him.”

       Long Zhanyu reached out and pulled the ashtray on the table over, flicked the ash, and then said, “Yu Jie is clearly trying to screw you. What really lucrative project would he not earn himself, and to be so generous to you? And why not go to the bank loan, and ask you to pull investment there? Isn’t it a great idea? No, I think this is most likely illegal fundraising. That investment project of his must be fake, and illegal fundraising will last for more than half a year at most before it comes to light, and then you, the person in charge, will deserve to be arrested.”

       Guan Anlin clearly guessed what was going on, but he was still not satisfied hearing Long Zhanyu’s words, “Even if that’s the case, if I come out and identify Yu Jie, he won’t be able to get away, right?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “Are you crazy? Why did you want to go down with him?”

       Guan Anlin waved his hand, “I’m just curious.”

       Long Zhanyu leaned on the back of the chair and said slowly, “It depends on whether Yu Jie has done a good job or not. There are many things that cannot be solely based only on your testimony and evidence. It depends on whether other evidence is sufficient to prove his criminal facts. And the two of you had a problem with each other, so he can use all this to his advantage.”

       Guan Anlin stared at the dining table in front of him and thought hard, “But I’ve already told you guys, can’t you testify for me?”

       Long Zhanyu had finished smoking a cigarette, put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, raised his arms and crossed his fingers behind his head, and looked at Guan Anlin with a puzzled expression, “On what basis? To prove that you knew that Yu Jie would engage in illegal fundraising, you helped him register a company to get him an investment to keep him going. Want to go to jail with him?”

       Chen Yuncheng suddenly felt that Guan Anlin was embarrassing himself, so he glared at him.

       Guan Anlin felt angry, and slammed his chopsticks on the table, “Is there nothing I can do about him? He must be doing other illegal things, you police should investigate quickly!” He turned to Long Zhanyu.

       Long Zhanyu said, “Investigation, huh? As long as there are clues, we will definitely investigate. Is there a clue right now? And we don’t necessarily have jurisdiction over his other crimes. I, a small policeman at the police station, can’t blindly investigate, you d1ckhead.”

       Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help but hold Ning Junyan’s hand beside him. He didn’t mind Long Zhanyu and the others swearing in front of him, but he didn’t like them swearing in front of Ning Junyan.

       Ning Junyan just sat by and listened quietly, without saying anything, felt Chen Yuncheng hold his hand, lifted Chen Yuncheng’s hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss.

       Guan Anlin was about to say something, but when he saw this scene, he choked on his words and gave them a blank look.

       Ning Junyan noticed Guan Anlin’s gaze, but he obviously didn’t mind. He smiled lightly and said, “Without going as far as pulling in investment, wouldn’t the preliminary preparations have broken the law? For example, if he sets up a fake project, can he be charged with fraud?”

       Long Zhanyu looked as if he was thinking seriously. He raised his head, raised one leg, tapped his toes on the wooden leg of the dining table, and stopped after a while and said, “Actually, it’s not impossible.”

       Guan Anlin immediately looked at him.

       Long Zhanyu beckoned, asked him to put his ear close, and said a few words in a low voice.

       From Chen Yuncheng’s point of view, he couldn’t hear what they were talking about at all. After a while, Guan Anlin nodded with his brows stretched.

       “What exactly is it?” Chen Yuncheng asked.

       Guan Anlin looked at Long Zhanyu, “Can I say it?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “What? I didn’t say anything to you, you can say it yourself if you like.”

       Guan Anlin suddenly understood what he meant, nodded and said to Chen Yuncheng, “I’ll continue to pretend to work with Yu Jie, go register the company, and then ask him to show me the various materials for his Columbarium Tower project, of which government approval documents are definitely needed. Yu Jie’s projects are all fake, so the approval documents must also be fake. When the time comes, I will directly take the materials he gave to report him, or at least forged state documents—” He couldn’t recite the charges, and glanced at Long Zhanyu.

       Long Zhanyu continued, “—the crime of forging official documents and seals.”

       Chen Yuncheng finished listening, glanced at Ning Junyan, and said, “It sounds good.” However, he was always more worried, and asked again, “Will there be any danger?”

       Long Zhanyu looked very serious, “As a policeman, I would advise you to act within your means when you get to this point, nothing is as important as the safety of your life. If there’s trouble, run and inform the police quickly, don’t lose yourself for Yu Jie.”

       Guan Anlin couldn’t help asking after hearing the words, “What about advice as a non-police officer?”

       Long Zhanyu spread his hands, “If I’m not a policeman, I don’t think there is any danger, just don’t do unnecessary things.”

       Ning Junyan said at this time, “Dangers are sometimes unexpected.”

       Long Zhanyu was silent for a while, he looked up at the other party, and said, “You are right, so I am not a qualified policeman, and I can’t always stand in the most suitable position to think about things.” He looked a bit melancholy for some reason, and reached for the bottle on the table to pour himself a glass of wine, “I’d like to toast you all, there are many things that have been handled inconsiderately over the years and have caused a lot of trouble for Chen Yuncheng, so I’d like to solemnly apologise”

       Later, Long Zhanyu got drunk.

       There was no guest room at home, Chen Yuncheng originally wanted to call a taxi to take Long Zhanyu back, but he fell asleep and couldn’t wake up no matter what, Chen Yuncheng had to put him on the sofa in the living room.

       Guan Anlin also drank a lot, he said to Chen Yuncheng, “I’ll stay with you too.”

       Chen Yuncheng asked, “Where do you want to stay? On the floor?”

       Guan Anlin looked up and saw Ning Junyan standing by the bedroom door, looking at him coldly, so he said, “Forget it, I’d better go back and look at the store.”

       “You should have gone back to look at the shop from the start.” Chen Yuncheng brought him a coat and asked him to put it on, sent him downstairs, and call a taxi for him on the side of the road to watch him leave before turning back upstairs.

Aw, poor Zhanyu… To be fair, all he did was just things in his capacity as a policeman and not as a friend of Chen Yuncheng

       In mid-September, Guan Anqin had already registered at the university.

       Chen Yuncheng asked Guan Anlin about Yu Jie several times, but Guan Anlin always couldn’t explain clearly, so he planned to call Long Zhanyu out and have a meal together. While he was at it, he wanted to find out some things clearly, otherwise, he would always be worried.

       At first, Chen Yuncheng planned to book a private room at a restaurant, but then he suddenly thought that eating at home was actually quite good, and he didn’t have to worry about bumping into Yu Jie or other acquaintances outside.

       After this idea came to him, he first sought Ning Junyan’s opinion, and when Ning Junyan agreed, he called Long Zhanyu and Guan Anlin to make an appointment.

       The day of the meal happened to be Long Zhanyu’s night shift off days. He went out in the afternoon and bought a bottle of red wine as a gift. Then he took a taxi to the elevator apartment that Chen Yuncheng rented according to the address.

       Long Zhanyu stood at the door and rang the doorbell, waited for more than ten seconds for the door to open from the inside, and saw a tall and straight figure.

       He had seen the man who opened the door. Although he hadn’t seen him many times, he had a deep impression of him and knew that he was Chen Yuncheng’s friend. It was just that he didn’t expect that there would be this person for dinner tonight, after all, the other person’s whole existence seemed out of place with them.

       Like now, Long Zhanyu was wearing a crumpled jacket over an old T-shirt, while the man in front of him was wearing a thin knitted sweater over a white shirt. The collar of the shirt was white and crisp, and the rolled-up cuffs were also clean.

       “Hello.” Although he felt strange, Long Zhanyu still took the initiative to extend a hand to greet him, “Long Zhanyu.”

       “Hello, Ning Junyan.” Ning Junyan held Long Zhanyu’s hand, gently shook it twice, and quickly released it.

       In fact, Ning Junyan was also very impressed with Long Zhanyu. After all, the young men and women who appeared around Chen Yuncheng were the ones he paid attention to.

       Long Zhanyu came into the entrance and saw Ning Junyan open the shoe cabinet to take out a pair of slippers and put them in front of him. Long Zhanyu thanked him, changed into the slippers and walked in, thinking that Ning Junyan seemed to have a good relationship with Chen Yuncheng.

       Chen Yuncheng was busy in the kitchen. He didn’t know how to cook at all, and only after he had invited the guests to his home in a flash of enthusiasm did he start to have a headache about what to do.

       Ning Junyan came into the kitchen, took the spatula from his hand, and said, “Your guest is here.”

       Chen Yuncheng asked, “Guan Anlin? Tell him to sit by himself.”

       Ning Junyan was much more proficient in his movements than he was. He turned down the fire and stir-fried a few times before serving on a plate. He said, “No, it’s the officer surnamed Long.”

       Only then did Chen Yuncheng hurry outside.

       Standing in the living room, Long Zhanyu looked at the whole house, saw Chen Yuncheng coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron, and said, “The house is pretty good.”

       Chen Yuncheng told him, “It’s rented.”

       Long Zhanyu handed him the red wine he brought, “It’s pretty good, and the environment is much better than where you used to live.”

       Chen Yuncheng took it over and said with a smile, “Thank you.” Then he said, “It looks quite well decorated, but the house is quite small, just one room.”

       He invited Long Zhanyu to sit down and poured another cup of tea.

       Long Zhanyu sat on the sofa and stretched his neck.

       Chen Yuncheng sat opposite him and asked, “Are you still busy with work?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “It’s just like that anyway, and you can’t be too busy.” After he said that, he heard a voice from the kitchen, and asked in a low voice, “Your friend is helping you cook?”

       Chen Yuncheng glanced back and said, “Yeah, he’s a better cook than me, in fact, I basically don’t know how to do it either. I follow the recipes on the Internet.”

       He had prepared four dishes and one soup today, including shrimp, steamed beef, as well as two stir-fried vegetables, and the soup was a chicken soup. He had been working all afternoon on these items.

       Ning Junyan brought the fried dishes to the table.

       Long Zhanyu looked in the direction of the restaurant, and asked Chen Yuncheng, “Is Guan Anlin here yet?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “I’ll call him.”

       Guan Anlin arrived in less than ten minutes, but he didn’t bring any gifts with him. After he entered the room, he saw a table of dishes and expressed his surprise, “Cheng ge, you made this? Or not?”

       Chen Yuncheng greeted them to sit down, and stood by the table to drink liquor, “Why can’t I do it?”

       Guan Anlin said, “I’ve known you for so long, and I didn’t know you could cook.”

       “It’s very simple, you can learn it.” Chen Yuncheng opened the wine, and found that the wine glass was still in the kitchen. He then asked Ning Junyan to help him get the wine glass.

       Long Zhanyu glanced at Ning Junyan’s back, and said to Chen Yuncheng, “You don’t seem to have introduced this friend of yours properly.”

       When Chen Yuncheng heard Long Zhanyu’s words, he suddenly realized that he hadn’t told Long Zhanyu about his relationship with Ning Junyan, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

       Guan Anlin looked at Chen Yuncheng, then looked at Long Zhanyu, and said proactively, “He was just a friend he met when he was young, nothing special.” After he said that, he added, “They share the rent now.”

       “Rent sharing?” Long Zhanyu felt strange, “Isn’t there only one bedroom?”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t think there was anything to hide at first, he was just trying to figure out how to say it without making everyone feel awkward. However, he didn’t expect Guan Anlin to talk nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth, so now it was hard for him to explain. He couldn’t help but look up and give Guan Anlin a blank look.

       It happened that Ning Junyan came out with a wine glass, pulled out the chair and sat down and asked, “What bedroom?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “Guan Anlin said that you share the rent with Chen Yuncheng, I wonder how you live in one bedroom here.”

       Ning Junyan looked at Chen Yuncheng upon hearing the words, frowned and asked, “You said we rent together?”

       Chen Yuncheng hurriedly said, “I never said that.” Then he stared at Guan Anlin, “Who said we rent together?”

       Guan Anlin glanced in Long Zhanyu’s direction, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and mouthed to Chen Yuncheng, “I want to help you hide it.”

       Chen Yuncheng glanced fiercely at Guan Anlin, reached out to hold Ning Junyan’s hand and put it on the dining table, deliberately let Long Zhanyu see the ring on his finger, and said with a smile, “Let me introduce formally, my boyfriend.”

       Ning Junyan didn’t seem very satisfied with the title of boyfriend, when he wanted to speak, Chen Yuncheng kicked him from below, so he acquiesced.

       Long Zhanyu showed a confused expression for a moment, “Boyfriend?” His eyes darted repeatedly over Chen Yuncheng’s and Ning Junyan’s faces, and finally said, “fvck!” After he said that, he quickly said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that, it was just a bit thought-provoking and I couldn’t accept it for a while.”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled at him, “It’s okay.” It didn’t matter if Long Zhanyu accepted him or not anyway.

       Long Zhanyu’s brain was a little confused for a short time. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and asked the people on the table before lighting it up, “Do you mind?”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head.

       He then lit the cigarette, took a puff and thought that there was no lady on the table, he asked if anyone would mind, and then thought that it must be because he heard the word boyfriend just now, and for a moment he had a strange sense of gender confusion towards Chen Yuncheng.

       Chen Yuncheng poured wine for them with a bottle, “I purposely asked Anlin not to drive either, so we can all drink a little tonight.” When pouring wine for Ning Junyan, he said, “You drink less, you have to go to work tomorrow. “

       While smoking a cigarette, Long Zhanyu couldn’t help but look at Ning Junyan.

       Chen Yuncheng raised his head and said to Long Zhanyu, “He is a doctor, have I introduced him?”

       Long Zhanyu shook his head, then said, “Good job.”

       Chen Yuncheng poured the wine, raised the glass first, and said, “It’s a rare opportunity, and it’s the first time I’ve invited a guest at home,” As he said this, he felt an inexplicable sense of happiness, and couldn’t help turning his head to look at Ning Junyan, and then continued, “Let’s have a drink first.”
