Smells

Chapter 27

Xiao Chen's cheeks were hot from Yu Ying's kiss. Fortunately, he went to Tibet and got tanned, and his face was slightly red, but he couldn't tell.

Yu Ying just touched the side of Xiao Chen's face, and did not make any further intimate contact.

Because this is what Xiao Chen asked for, and if Xiao Chen wanted it, he gave it to him.

"Would you like to visit Jiang Yan at my house?" Xiao Chen asked.

Yu Ying nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Yan is already asleep, he is sleeping in the guest room.Xiao Chen glanced at the melatonin bottle on the bedside table, the position had changed, it should have been eaten and slept.

Yu Ying leaned over and gently stroked the hair on his forehead.Jiang Yan breathed smoothly and slept peacefully.

The two quietly closed the door and walked out of the guest room.

"Does he often sleep well?" Xiao Chen asked Yu Ying in a low voice, "Yesterday he asked me to be stable."

Yu Ying frowned: "No, he has a regular schedule. He fights a lot, but it's the first time he has a bright face."

Yu Ying seemed to be not surprised by Jiang Yan's fight with others, he asked Xiao Chen: "Did he tell you what it was because of this time?"

Xiao Chen told Yu Ying exactly what he saw in the bathroom yesterday and what Jiang Yan said as he lay in his arms and cried.

After hearing this, Yu Ying was silent for a long time, and said, "I have caused you trouble."

"will not."

Yu Ying looked at him: "You saw it too, Brother Chen."

Xiao Chen didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

"In my life, besides my parents, there is another Jiang Yan. He is my adopted child. From a legal point of view, I am his guardian. We are relatives. Even if he becomes an adult in the future, the relationship between us The kinship relationship will not be severed." Yu Ying spoke very slowly, and he was telling Xiao Chen about the existence of the child between them very seriously.

Xiao Chen understood what he meant.

"Are you afraid that I will mind?" Xiao Chen asked him.

Yu Ying nodded: "I'm a little worried that you will mind, but I have never regarded Jiang Yan as a burden and a drag, and I don't think Brother Chen would think so either. Besides, he is seventeen and almost an adult. It's so good, it can't delay me at all. It's a bit late today, I have a chance to find time to talk to you about him, okay?"

"it is good."

"I'm going home first, you go to bed early."

"Be careful on the road."

Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, otherwise Xiao Chen would not dare to go home so late to sleep. He slept until noon, and when he woke up, Jiang Yan had gone out.

Although Jiang Yan is usually taciturn and indifferent, he is actually a very sensible child.

He made breakfast for Xiao Chen, and left a WeChat message, saying that he went to cram school and took the subway.

The child from a poor family has long been in charge of the family, and Xiao Chen chewed the egg pancakes made by Jiang Yan with relish, thinking that this child must have suffered a lot.

The words Yu Ying said yesterday are still circling in Xiao Chen's mind.

That's why we need to get along and understand each other.Yu Ying opened up her past bit by bit, and also left Xiao Chen room to take a step back——

If you can't accept it, or can't adapt to it for a long time, you can also look for better options.

Where is there a better choice, Xiao Chen thought.

You are my only choice.

The shadow that Xu Ke mentioned before has been lingering in Xiao Chen's heart, so he decided to ask Xu Ke to clarify.

Xiao Chen is a regular customer of Silence. He has both Xingzhun and Keke's WeChat accounts. He directly searched for Xuke's WeChat account and sent her a message.

Xiao Chen: Can I ask you something?

Li Ke, this meeting is probably empty, and the reply was quick: um, what's the matter?

Xiao Chen: Earlier, you mentioned that Yu Ying had any shadows, what shadows?

Licensing: [Stay]

Xiao Chen:?

Xu Ke: Brother Chen, this...

Xiao Chen: Are you busy now?I'll call you.

License available: !

Xiao Chen: Okay?

Xu Ke: ...Okay, wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom.

One minute later, Xiao Chen called.

"Hello?" Ke Ke covered his mouth with his hand, his voice was a bit muffled.

"What do you know, can you tell me? What is the shadow you are talking about? Is it because Yu Ying was injured when she was a policeman?"

"I...Brother Chen, this is the boss's private matter, I dare not talk nonsense."

"You just tell me what you know." Xiao Chen said, "I just want to know what Yu Ying has experienced before, and knowing those things, I can have further development with him, so you should help me Well, otherwise, Boss Yu, I really can't catch up."

The last sentence was to deceive the little girl, but the meaning was the same. There were too many obstacles in Xiao Chen's long pursuit of his husband, and he had to clear them one by one.

Xu Ke felt compassion, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "When the boss was a policeman, a colleague died to save him."

Xiao Chen's eyes widened slightly.

"I don't know exactly how he sacrificed." Xu Ke's voice was very soft, "I only know that colleague..."

Xiao Chen took her words: "Like Yu Ying?"

"Well, it should be. Sister Xingzhun has seen him. It has been several years ago. At that time, the boss was still working as a criminal policeman in the Public Security Bureau."

"Is he... Yu Ying's first love?"

"I don't know much about this." Xu Ke didn't dare to talk nonsense, "I haven't heard that the boss has been in a relationship, but I heard Aunt Ye mention it a few times, saying that the boss has been unwilling to find a partner, probably because of his sacrifice. colleague."

After understanding it, it seems that Yu Ying became an older single youth because of the shadow left by this incident.

Xiao Chen was silent for a while, then said, "I see, thank you."

Xu Ke didn't have much to say, and she didn't know much about the matter itself, so she finished an extremely painful matter in just a few sentences.

In fact, Xiao Chen's mind was a little confused. He knew that Yu Ying, as a criminal policeman on the front line, would inevitably experience some thrilling things, but his heart still trembled involuntarily when a living life was really involved.

And this man died to save Yu Ying.

No matter what kind of relationship he has with Yu Ying, comrade in arms, or lover, he will definitely leave an indelible part in Yu Ying's heart.

Xiao Chen's heart was a little heavy, he felt sorry for the sacrificed soldier, he thought of his parents, thought of Qin Chu, thought of the words Yu Ying once responded to him——

"Life is really fragile."

Xiao Chen was on a business trip. After the weekend, he flew to Spain on Monday.He often travels on business, has long-term visas for various countries, and can go abroad anytime, anywhere.

After not seeing Xiao Chen in the studio for a few days, Xu Ke panicked, thinking that the things she told Xiao Chen before scared people away.

Xu Ke felt that the sky was about to fall, that she had committed a crime, so she couldn't keep her mouth shut and didn't tell Xiao Chen about those things. Now it's all right, she just doesn't show up, and she cut off her boss' love.

Xu Ke was in a state of agitation, grabbed a lily and asked Yu Ying vaguely: "Boss, how are you... how are you and Brother Chen?"

"Huh?" Yu Ying was changing the water for the flowers, when she heard this, she turned her head, "How about something?"

"Didn't he say he was chasing you? Why hasn't he come to our shop for several days?"

Yu Ying smiled: "He's on a business trip."

The stone in Xu Ke's heart fell to the ground in an instant, and he looked up to the sky and let out a long breath: "Oh!"

"What's wrong?" Yu Ying looked at her suspiciously.

"Nothing, nothing." Xu Ke laughed dryly.

Xiao Chen stayed in Spain for a week, and returned to China after finishing the work there.

Yu Ying saw that he had posted a landing page in Moments, liked it, and posted a comment: Thank you for your hard work.

Xiao Chen gave him a [hug] back.

After Xiao Chen returned to China, he never came to the studio. Yu Ying knew that he was busy with work, so he would not disturb him often. The two of them hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, and the number of chats on WeChat was very few.

In fact, Yu Ying was a little bit disappointed in her heart, and always felt that she couldn't get excited about doing anything.

Both Keke and Xingzhun are keenly aware that their store managers have not been in a high mood recently, they talk less, and they tend to be in a daze when they have nothing to do.

Xu Ke felt that the sky was falling again.

"Sister Xingzhun." Xu Ke had a mournful face, ready to shed tears in the next second, "I'm done."

"What's wrong?" Xing Zhun frowned slightly.

"Are you talking about Brother Chen and our boss? How long has it been since Brother Chen came to our place? Does he not want our boss anymore?"

Xingzhun couldn't help laughing, with a sullen face: "If it turns yellow, it turns yellow. What are you doing?"

"Brother Chen, if you really don't want our boss anymore, I'm the culprit!" Xu Ke pawed at Xing Zhun like a koala, "I did the crime!"

Of course Xiao Chen and Yu Ying can't get along, but for Boss Yu, he's just chasing after him.

After Xiao Chen returned to China, he was really busy. He had to work overtime every day, and he had to find time to prepare birthday gifts for Yu Ying after work.He brought back two stones from Spain and planned to make a pair of cufflinks for Yu Ying himself. Yu Ying's birthday was coming, and he had to get these two gadgets out before that day.

Xiao Chen has a strong hands-on ability. When he just graduated from university in the early years, his enthusiasm for art has not yet been thoroughly ground by reality. He often makes some handmade ornaments to decorate his rental house, and sometimes draws some decorative paintings by himself. .

Now that he is old, his artistic cells are completely dead, but his skills have not deteriorated. He is proficient in grinding and polishing. It is not difficult to make a pair of cufflinks.

Every day after work, I just grind the stones, and I go to bed after grinding, and I don’t have time to contact Yu Ying, and I don’t care about it.

No language studio.

Yu Ying sat on a chair, staring at her mobile phone absently.The golden retriever rubbed against his feet, wagging its tail coquettishly, and Yu Ying patted its head perfunctorily.He opened WeChat and clicked into Xiao Chen's chat interface, edited a few words in the dialog box, hesitated for a while, and then deleted it.

"I'll go back first, and you can close the shop when you're done." Yu Ying got up, took off her apron, put on her coat, and led the golden retriever back to the small house in the backyard.

Before leaving, he heard Xu Ke shout: "Boss, is it your birthday today? Happy birthday! Have a good year!"

Yu Ying put on her scarf and smiled slightly: "Thank you."

It's winter, and Yu Ying was born in late autumn.

After today, he will be thirty.

Obviously time goes together, and everyone's years pass by without prejudice, but he feels that the age gap between himself and Xiao Chen seems to have shortened a bit.

What is Brother Chen busy with?Yu Ying couldn't help thinking, he was really busy, so busy that I felt he didn't want to think about our relationship.

Yu Ying sighed lightly.

Yu Huan had already returned to the army, Ye Minxing organized a small birthday party at home, no one was invited, only her, Jiang Yan and Yu Ying were at the table.

After eating the birthday meal, the hour hand pointed to nine o'clock.Yu Ying sat on the sofa and ate fruit, but decided to send Xiao Chen a message.

Yu Ying: What is Brother Chen busy with?

This is the first time he has taken the initiative to bother Xiao Chen in the past half month. It's a very boring question. What else can he be busy with? Work.

There was no reply, Yu Ying put down her phone and continued to eat the fruit in the fruit plate without taste.

"What's the matter, son?" Ye Minxing sensed Yu Ying's subtle emotions, "Aren't you happy?"

Yu Ying narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I'm 30 years old, can you be happy?"

Ye Minxing slapped him on the arm: "Do you know the man has 31 flowers?"

Yu Yingzheng stuffed a piece of pineapple into his mouth, the phone vibrated, he paused, lowered his eyes, and caught a glimpse of the name on the phone screen.

Yu Ying picked up the phone and glanced at it.

Xiao Chen: I just got off work, are you at home?

Yu Ying: Yes, yes.

Xiao Chen: Then you come out.

Yu Ying was taken aback, then stood up immediately: "Mom, I'm going out for a while."

He put on his coat and walked out of the house quickly. The early winter night was very cold, Yu Ying's pace gradually accelerated, the cold wind was blowing on his face, and the chill was getting heavier and heavier.

But the heart is hot.

He saw Xiao Chen standing outside the iron gate, his tall and thin body wrapped in a long coat that blended with the night.

Xiao Chen waved at him.

Yu Ying licked her dry lips, stepped forward and pressed the button next to the iron door, and the iron door opened slowly and automatically.

"Your house is so big." Xiao Chen walked up to him, looked up at him slightly, "Long time no see."

In fact, it hasn't been very long, it's only half a month, but it really feels like it's been a long, long time.

"Brother Chen..." Yu Ying's voice was a little hoarse.

"I'm working overtime again today." Xiao Chen clicked his tongue, "I wanted to come here earlier."

"How do you know where I live?"

"Ask for permission." Xiao Chen handed the present to Yu Ying, "Happy birthday."

Yu Ying's Adam's apple slipped slightly: "Do you know my birthday?"

"Ask for permission." Xiao Chen stuffed the small gift box into his pocket, "How can I chase someone without knowing their birthday? I'm so careless."

Yu Ying couldn't suppress the true emotion in his heart, he pursed his thin lips, and said frankly: "I miss you a little these days."

Xiao Chen was slightly startled, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "If you miss me, give me a hug, it just so happens that I also feel a little cold tonight."

Yu Ying opened her arms and hugged him without hesitation.

This hug is the same as every time in Xiao Chen's fantasy, warm, generous, and the tightening strength shows the possessive desire full of male hormones.

Xiao Chen bowed his neck slightly, and gently pressed his lips against Yu Ying's earlobe: "I miss you very much, too."
