Yu's two-year-old girl, Min Min, went to take care of everything. The nanny washed the vegetables and sliced them, marinated the fish, cooked the rice, and left.
Yu Jingzhong personally cooked three fresh foods, steamed a sea bass, and burnt a bone tofu soup; when the rice was served, Yan Lanyu finally went upstairs and left the car key in the entrance without saying a word On the cabinet.
"Let's eat," Yu said, not ashamed to look at the expression on Yan Lanyu's face.
The two sat silently for dinner, one went to work in the study, and the other checked things with an ipad in the living room. There was a deliberate silence at home, as if the confession just downstairs had never happened.
Time passed quickly in silence. When it was time to go to bed, Yu Jingzhong returned to his bedroom and peeped through the door to see that the light in the living room was still on.
...What is he thinking?
Fu Yu sat on the bed and pondered for a while, trying to analyze the current situation with the powerful logical thinking ability of the spy chief for many years and intelligence analysis, but his brain is full of confusion. It is more complicated than planning an overseas spy activity.
Sure enough, I felt like eating swan meat... Yu Fu thought so self-deprecatingly, and went to bed to go to sleep.
As a result, in the middle of the night, Yu Jingzhong was awakened by a strange feeling. He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Yan Lanyu sitting on the side of the bed, leaning over to him.
Yu Jingzhong sat up in amazement, but Yan Lanyu pressed and kissed him shortly thereafter, while his warm fingers seemed to be holding something sharp against his chest.
"You..."
Inquiry was submerged in the entanglement of lips and tongue, Yu Jingzhong's mind was awake for a while, and it was an indescribable feeling. In the chaos, he only vaguely felt that the sharp object was pierced into the flesh, and then it was hot and slippery. It was completely submerged in the chest.
...what is this? He wants to harm me?
No, no, I would have died if he wanted to harm me, this is...
Yu Jingzhong didn't mind anymore. He seemed to have been poisoned, his body lifted up his hands completely uncontrollably and grabbed Yan Lanyu. The two fell on the big bed at the same time, their skin touching each other, making every nerve ending tremble with excitement.
"What's that?" After breathing, Yu Jingzhong reluctantly concentrated on the last bit of mind and asked: "What do you put..."
The curtains in the bedroom are slightly hidden, the moonlight is shining on the sheets, and there is a strange shimmer in Yan Lanyu's eyes.
"It's Jingxin," he said softly.
"Half of my heart."
·
Yu Jingzhong dreamed of the sea that night. He was in the waves, and involuntarily drifted with the ocean currents. When the tide was high, he was submerged and set on the top. He saw the whale bones slowly opening up like a flower in the depths of the sea; when the tide was low, he was lifted out of the water by the gentle waves. The dazzling starlight.
The wind swept across the sea with a slight salty fishy, engulfing Ruoyouruowu's voice, as if someone was calling his name.
Yu Jingzhong tried his best to stick his head out of the sea, and the strong impulse from nowhere made him search around, but the sound seemed to be intermittent like hide-and-seek, and disappeared every time he just locked in a direction.
When the tide was high, Yu Jingzhong was submerged by the sea, and the painful cry for help sounded again. It seemed that because of the long wait, he became more and more sad and desperate.
"Where are you?"
Yu Jingzhong asked loudly in the sea, but there was only a string of blisters at the exit.
"Who are you?"
The ebb and flow of the ebb and flow continued, and the call finally came vaguely again.
Without unknown strength, Yu Jingzhong suddenly struggled to swim across Shanghai, only to see a fire on the water not far away.
A man is tied to a wooden frame in the fire, unclothed, blood dripping, and his head hangs weakly, unable to tell whether he is alive or dead.
For some reason, a trembling impulse suddenly swept Yu Jingzhong's heart. He shouted and swam towards the flames, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get close to the roaring flames.
The next moment, I saw countless pale and skinny ghost claws suddenly stretched out from the sea of fire, scrambling to grab the person tied to the wooden frame, and he was about to be dragged down into the dark abyss deep in the sea... …
"Wait!" Yu Jingzhong screamed: "Wait, don't--!"
The blood was wrapped in a tongue of fire, "Hhoo!" The ground burned and stretched into an endless fiery hell. The man was about to fall into it. At the last second, he raised his head and looked at Yu Jingzhong in the distant sea.
At that moment, the picture freezes, and his face is very familiar.
——That is Yan Lanyu who has grown up!
Yu Jingzhong was stunned. The next second the tsunami rose from the ground and crashed down, pushing him into the abyss!
·
"——Ah!"
Yu Jingzhong sat up abruptly, his eyes could not be opened by the bright light.
I saw the sky was already bright, and there was the sound of birds singing outside. It snowed last night, and the sun reflected dazzling white light on the snow.
Yu Jingzhong gasped slightly, then turned over and went to the ground after a moment, and stepped barefoot on the floor, leaving wet footprints, only to realize that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
He walked to the bathroom, looked at his face in the mirror, and subconsciously remembered the dream.
Yan Lanyu as an adult...
Yu Jingzhong washed his face with cold water, only then did he feel sober and turned to look at the messy bed in the bedroom.
Although the extremely real nightmare just left a shadow in his subconscious, Yan Lanyu's actions last night... should mean agreeing.
Yu Jingzhong rubbed his temples, quickly washed and shaved, changed his shirt and trousers, opened the door and walked out on tiptoes. When passing by Yan Lanyu's bedroom, he looked inside and was surprised to find no one.
Where did you go?
"Morning."
Yu Jingzhong turned his head and saw Yan Lanyu sitting at the breakfast table with porridge, pickles and poached eggs on the table.
"Morning... early."
Yu Jingzhong coughed, walked to the table and sat down, and saw that Yan Lanyu was holding an ipad and didn't know what she was looking up.
He will also be on duty at Unit 547 later, but there are not as many restrictions as Yu Jingzhong on his clothes, so he casually wears a light gray sweater. The neck exposed at the neckline looks very delicate and white, almost a little dazzling. Up.
"This... did you do this?"
"Hmm."
Yu Jingzhong drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and then reacted afterwards: "Have you eaten?"
"Hmm."
The atmosphere returned to the slightly embarrassing silence. Mr. Yu wanted to say something but was embarrassed to say, thinking * and not knowing how to adjust, so I had to concentrate on eating breakfast, put the tableware and chopsticks aside, grabbed the car key and said: "Then let's go first..."
"I have something to tell you."
Yu Jingzhong was slightly startled, only to see Yan Lanyu put down the ipad, and he caught a glimpse of the advertisement for renting a house in Beijing's Fourth Ring Road!
"What you said to me yesterday, I am very grateful, and I have considered it for a long time. I am willing to maintain the current state with you, but there is no way to further the relationship with the lover... I am fine."
Yu Jingzhong was a little stunned, and it took several seconds to react: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Yan Lanyu did not answer.
"What you mean is that you don't want to live with me seriously, but you are willing to maintain a relationship?" Yu Jingzhong is messed up: "What do you think?"
Yan Lanyu still didn't say a word, so she decided to look at the fine texture of the checkered tablecloth without blinking her eyelashes. After a long while, Yu Jingzhong was almost a little irritable, and he finally took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you are willing to understand this way... Yes, that's what I mean."
"..."
"At the same time, thank you for your stay during this period of time. But I am an adult and have income. It would be too bad to live like this. I have already found an apartment near my unit. If nothing happens, I will soon Will move over."
Yan Lanyu snapped her eyes closed, opened them after a moment, got up and walked towards the door.
"Wait!" Yu Jingzhong couldn't help but got up and asked: "Is it because I didn't do a good job? Or are you dissatisfied with me? If this is the case, just say it, there is no need to worry about what I think..."
"No." Yan Lanyu said, somehow her voice sounded very sad: "It's not for that reason... Actually I like you very much."
·
In the next few days, Yu Jingzhong was very depressed, and he was out of shape.
Fortunately, there are few things during the New Year, especially when most people go on holidays. This situation did not cause any mistakes at work. But at this position of Yu Jingzhong, the social gatherings during the New Year are indispensable. Who is not the elite in the officialdom? Almost everyone discovered Yu Fu's anomaly overnight.
If you are kind, you say that Yu Fu is too busy at work and the pressure is too great before the old people decline; a bit more mean, he simply doubts whether he has been single for a long time, and something has gone wrong in some way, otherwise he looks like the whole world. It looks like he owed him five million.
The red-headed document came up after the next year. Because of his outstanding performance in the alien invasion of Beijing’s Dead Sea and H City, as well as his quick and accurate standing in the national security turmoil, Deputy Director Yu Jingzhong was promoted by a leap. Became the deputy director of the Twelfth Bureau of the National Security Bureau under the special department, and enjoyed the deputy ministerial level.
Because of Jingzhong's age, this position can be described as a high-ranking position, and instantly became a celebrity in the national security system. Overnight he received countless congratulatory telegrams from the capital and various local administrative agencies, security systems, and from heaven and hell, which really made a splash.
Yu Jingzhong, the deputy director of Xinke, did not show much enthusiasm.
He sat in the office and watched the cigarette in his hand go out and burned to the end in the smoke.
……
"I like you very much too..."
"I am willing to maintain my current state, but I can't go further into the relationship with my lover..."
"This is good for you and me."
Damn, it’s good to me, what is it good to you? The great youth of my teens was wasted on me, and I didn't want to ask for nothing. This is obviously a repaying mentality. If I don't like it, I am embarrassed to refuse!
Yu Jingzhong gritted his teeth and put out the cigarette **** on the waste file, exhaling a long breath.
·
A few days later, Yan Lanyu found a good house and moved out.
Yu, who has been promoted to deputy bureau level, fell in love with the eighteen-year-old Yan Lanyu. There is really no way. After several times of persuasion to no avail, he could only help to collect Yan Lanyu’s limited luggage and send him to the newly rented small apartment. Looking at the empty room with only basic furniture, he felt a sense of depression. Can't get out of the block.
"What are you eating tonight?" Yu Jingzhong asked when he opened the empty refrigerator.
Yan Lanyu said: "Call a takeaway."
Yu Jingzhong looked pale, went to the supermarket and brought rice, oil, meat, and vegetables back. He added pots and pans one by one, checked the gas in the doors and windows, and repeatedly corrected the lock shaft that was not very aligned in the bathroom.
He is like a parent who sent his children away from home for the first time. Before he left, there were countless small things like needles and brains on the desk. I was concerned about everything and everything was important. I wished that time would have 72 more hours out of thin air. Come, let him arrange everything in detail.
Yan Lanyu repeatedly said no, but before he left, he still cooked three dishes and one soup full of toppings, and even wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator, fearing that they would be forgotten by Yan Lanyu on the table. After a few days of deterioration, I had diarrhea.
"This is not far from home. I can go back on weekends. Usually I can still pick you up and go to work. Sleep at night and close the doors and windows. Don't go out and wander around. It's messy outside during Chinese New Year!"
Yu Fu stood at the door while changing shoes while teaching, while Yan Lanyu stood in the hallway, the dim light made his silent profile look ambiguous.
"Also," Yu Jingzhong paused, and then said: "Although you said last time to keep the existing relationship unchanged, I have seriously considered it and this cannot be done."
Yan Lanyu raised his head, the look in his eyes for a moment was beyond words.
It seems that the transparent texture is covered with tiny cracks, which will soon be broken into countless pieces of thin ice.
"You are still young, and I don’t know how bad it will be for you in the future. If you really live together, it’s okay to say, if you don’t know how to mix with me for a few years, you will have a lot of trouble in the future whether you go to school or work. Enough for you to drink a pot."
"I still mean the same to you as usual," Yu Jingzhong rarely showed a little sadness: "But I am older than you, so I can't be too selfish, so I can take advantage of you when you are ignorant... It’s still the same idea. Even if you fall in love with others in the future, you must show your horses and horses and live your life earnestly. All the uncertainties are lost in the end."
Yan Lanyu looked at him blankly.
Under that gaze, Yu Jingzhong was in a daze, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand, trying to touch the delicate side cheek of the young man.
——However, just before the skin touched, he suddenly reacted and withdrew his hand in embarrassment.
"Cough, let's do it." Yu Fu gestured to look at the sky outside, and said: "I...I'm leaving first, and I have to pick up Minmin."
·
Yu Jingzhong almost rushed downstairs in a mess, opened the car door and got in.
This is a semi-new and not old community. It is getting late, there is no one on the road, only a few cars parked not far away. In the cold winter, the withered grass shrank, and the swing in the green belt not far away was empty, only the embers of firecrackers scattered on the ground.
Yu Jingzhong did not start the car immediately, but sat in the car, his eyes vicissitudes and gloomy.
What if Yan Lanyu really likes others?
Yu Jingzhong once thought that he would retire in the future and divide the property in half, giving half to Minmin and half to Yan Lanyu. Although there are not many, he can live a carefree life in Beijing anyway. If the person he seeks cannot afford a house in Beijing, they will not have nowhere to settle.
But now think about it, Yan Lanyu will find someone else in the future, can he really understand and be so free and easy?
Yu Jingzhong looked at the increasingly sinking sky, and for the first time an emotion similar to jealousy grew in his heart. He is jealous of the stranger who only exists in the future, jealous of the unreserved love that person will get from Yan Lanyu, jealous of the happy time they will spend together; he saw himself in the light at that time, alone and dying. .
Yu Jingzhong sighed for a long time, subconsciously took out a cigarette, but couldn't find a lighter everywhere.
Did you lose your way, or did you not bring it out today?
Yu Fu was so irritable, he hit the steering wheel with a punch, and simply chewed the tobacco.

Working in a place like Guoan, although it cannot be said that there is no personal space at all, personal space is also very limited. Yan Lanyu’s new address was quickly listed in the organization, so everyone knew about it—this sad piece of news was like a spring breeze blowing across the river. Everyone heard about it overnight, and their boss was proud of the officialdom. Frustrated, was dumped as soon as he was promoted.
Some people feel injustice because of the frustration of the deputy, and some people feel that the age difference is indeed not worthy of more than ten years. Some people-for example, the young comrade Shenwan-feel that they can finally rest assured to pursue the true love in life, so they travel from Tibet three times a day Beijing sent a telegram. Unfortunately, Yan Lanyu confiscated all of them and was intercepted by Yu Jingzhong.
Yan Lanyu went to work and got off work in full view, as quiet as usual, as if some kind of flower blooming in the dark and not attracting attention. Yu Fu began to insist on picking him up every day, but over time, sometimes working overtime and sometimes on business trips, it was difficult to adjust the time together, and Yan Lanyu became accustomed to going back to the small rental apartment.
It happened one day after half a month.
At that time, Fu Yu was secretly dispatched to a place in Jiangxi to perform official duties. Yan Lanyu called home after get off work. One day, he found a courier box at the door.
It's the kind of very ordinary express box, yellow cardboard, cluttered with a lot of tape. At first, Yan Lanyu thought that the little potted plant he had Taobao had arrived, so he leaned over and picked it up. She froze instantly.
——The express note is written in Japanese, the item is "birthday gift", and the sender is Tian Ning Qizhi.
Tian You Qi Zhi.
Almost no one in Japan knows that this is the person's real name. Even in the world of Onmyoji, this name is rarely mentioned, but Yan Lanyu knows who he is.
In Tantric Sect, people will only respectfully and surrenderly call the owner of this name——
Head.
