Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 63: Unpleasant to the Ear
Jiang You looked towards the window for a while.
When he turned around, a spring pancake wrapped with roast duck was handed to his mouth, and he quickly opened his mouth and swallowed it.
Chen Nan wiped her fingers with a tissue and said, "I'll put this here. Don't eat too much. We'll have dinner soon."
"Wait." Jiang You reached out and grabbed Chen Nan's sleeve.
Chen Nan turned his head and looked at him.
"Lie down with me for a while."
"I'm going downstairs to cook."
"Just lie down for five minutes."
Jiang You moved his body inside, Chen Nan hesitated for a moment, and lay down in the empty space.
Being held.
The body temperature enveloped her.
After listening to her breathing for a while and feeling the hands around her loosen a little, Chen Nan gently turned over.
Jiang You closed his eyes.
He fell asleep.
She reached out and took the glasses off his face, folded them and placed them beside the pillow.
Kissed his cheek.
I tiptoed out of bed.
Sunday.
Just after twelve o'clock, Guan Nuo arrived at Tang Butian's residence.
He looked at Tang Butian who was standing at the door, "Section Chief..."
"Come in."
Tang Butian turned and walked inside.
Guan Nuo followed him in.
He saw that there was already a person sitting on the sofa in the living room, a man wearing a dark grey shirt, and looked about the same age as him.
Tang Butian walked to the single sofa at the side and sat down.
There is only one sofa.
After Guan Nuo hesitated for a moment, he walked over to the man and sat down. He said, "Hello, I'm Guan Nuo..."
"I'm Zhong Yan. Senior Zhuang should have mentioned me to you." Zhong Yan looked up at Guan Nuo.
"As mentioned, you are also from the mountain."
"Are you here alone?" Zhong Yan asked.
"Yes, my mother wants to wait for Uncle Su and the others..."
"Oh, I see." Before Guan Nuo could finish his words, Zhong Yan nodded and interrupted him.
Guan Nuo stopped talking.
For a moment, the living room fell silent.
Guan Nuo looked towards where Tang Butian was. She was holding a book in her hands and looking down at it. It seemed to be an English vocabulary book. He saw her brows slightly frowned, and then she turned the book several pages in a row.
He turned his head and glanced at Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan closed his eyes, as if he was resting.
Guan Nuo took out his mobile phone, opened a tower defense game, and muted the sound.
The voice in my heart sounded.
He looked down on Zhong Yan. He and Tang Butian were both from the mountains.
Wait till he...
He will become stronger.
He gritted his teeth.
He wanted to catch the people who killed his father with his own hands, and not let any of them go...
A game lost.
He went on to the next inning.
After playing five or six games, the doorbell rang.
Tang Butian put down the book and stood up. Her beautiful white calves swayed in Guan Nuo's sight, and she opened the door.
Then he heard Jiang You's voice and the sound of the paper bag rubbing against each other.
It seemed that in an instant, the atmosphere became lively.
"I saw a coffee shop right next to me. I wanted to buy some cakes, but there were too many things to hold..."
Tang Butian took the bag of coffee and the cat bag.
Guan Nuo watched Jiang You carrying Jiang Mo into the living room.
"Guan Nuo, you're here. I thought I was the first one." Jiang You said.
"I just got here too." said Guan Nuo.
Tang Butian put the coffee bag on the coffee table, then she squatted down and unzipped the wool bag. Zhao Cai poked his head out of the cat bag, looked around, then raised his front legs, climbed out of the bag, and crawled out.
"He is your son?" Zhong Yan suddenly asked.
Jiang You turned around and looked at Zhong Yan. "Yes, I don't know what he is upset about today. He insisted on following me out. It's a good thing. The Science and Technology Museum is very close to here. I can take him for a walk after it's over. What's your name?"
After Jiang You put down the minced ginger, he reached for a cup of coffee and took a big sip.
"Are you Jiang You?" Zhong Yan did not answer, but asked back.
"Yes, it's me, who are you?"
"Zhong Yan."
"grate on the ear?"
Zhong Yan’s expression froze for a moment.
Guan Nuo felt like laughing as he listened to the conversation between Jiang You and Zhong Yan. He quit the game and put his phone back in his pocket.
"First place." Tang Butian's voice interrupted.
"Tang Butian..." Zhong Yan watched Tang Butian take a cup of coffee and walk into her room, and Zhao Cai followed her with his tail erect.
Guan Nuo leaned forward and reached out to take a cup of coffee.
Took a sip.
Jiang You sat down next to Guan Nuo. He breathed a sigh of relief, then he looked in the direction of Zhong Yan and said, "I am used to making fun of my own name. I don't understand the rules of your mountain. Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry."
"That's good," Jiang You held the cup with both hands and asked in a low voice, "I heard from the section chief that you were originally supposed to be the head of the special section?"
Zhong Yan looked at him warily and said nothing.
"It's not easy to be a section chief," Jiang You said with emotion. "When I joined the Special Operations Department, there were only two people in the department. Just imagine, Tangjiang City is so big, and the section chief still has to go to school, right?"
Zhong Yan nodded subconsciously.
"I won't hide it from you. When I first saw the section chief, I thought she was very young. She looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, not yet an adult."
Jiang You turned his head and looked at Guan Nuo, "The section chief is younger than you, right?"
Guan Nuo nodded.
"My understanding of these special events is that you have to deal with demons and monsters, as well as people. You may not understand this in the mountains, but dealing with people is more tiring than dealing with demons and monsters."
Zhong Yan's expression was somewhat puzzled.
"I didn't like interacting with people before. I just liked to be alone, reading novels. But I want to open a shop. To do business, I have to interact with people and sell things. After a few years, I think I have mastered it."
Jiang You handed a cup of coffee to Zhong Yan, "Drink it while it's hot, it will be bitter if it gets cold."
Zhong Yan took the cup.
Guan Nuo, who was sandwiched between the two, realized that the atmosphere between Jiang You and Zhong Yan had eased.
"I've been working part-time in the Special Operations Department for a few months, and I'm exhausted. I don't know how the section chief managed to handle all of this in the past few years," Jiang You began to complain. "It's easy to deal with demons and ghosts, and to break them up or beat them into submission. But it's not the same with people. When they are caught on the spot, they still try to argue that they were framed, and some even turn the tables."
"It's not easy." Zhong Yan took a sip of coffee.
The doorbell rang again.
Jiang You stood up and opened the door.
He saw Sun Yu, Zhuang Zekun and four others standing at the door.
"I just happened to run into him when I entered the community," said Sun Yu.
When they walked into the living room, the space suddenly seemed crowded.
Tang Butian walked out of the room.
Sun Yu saw Zhaocai behind her and asked, "Brother Jiang, did you bring Zhaocai with you?"
"Yes, it is more advanced than Guan Nuo. Let it listen to it. We will rely on it in the fight later."
Jiang You and Sun Yu moved a few stools from the dining room.
After everyone sat down, Zhuang Zekun said, "Let me briefly talk about the current situation."
