The next day, New Year's Day.

It was an ordinary day for Ruan Mohan.

She got up on time, made breakfast for Ruan Qingyin, turned on the computer, and started processing work emails.

At nine o'clock, she made herself a cup of black coffee.The coffee beans came from A's family, the most familiar taste on her tongue, which made her feel safe.

While leaning on the kitchen island to drink coffee, Ruan Mohan's sensitive ears heard that the neighbors upstairs and downstairs had guests coming: "Happy New Year!" "Happy New Year!"

Ruan Mohan only felt that the noise was unbearable.

The only New Year greeting in her mobile phone is from Wang Nuo.I wrote a lot of insights from the past year, and also took pictures of Xiaoyan's children's New Year's paintings for her to see.Ruan Mohan replied with four words: Happy New Year.

It's been hard for her.

All other New Year's news is irrelevant.Template-style blessings from shopping guides, real estate salesmen, and bank loan specialists.

Perhaps in the indifferent metropolis, this group is the ones who care and miss you more than your relatives and friends.

Ruan Mohan washed his coffee cup, sat back in front of the computer, and was about to plug in his bluetooth headset to isolate himself from all the noise from the outside world.

At this time, she suddenly heard a very slight noise outside the door.

It's like someone is stepping on the floor mat outside their house, their steps are deliberately light, like a cat.

If Ruan Mohan's ears were not sensitive, he would never be able to catch this subtle sound.

She frowned slightly: Is there a thief?But for stealing on the morning of the first day of the new year, the timing of this time is too strange.

Ruan Mohan dug out the community police phone number in his phone, put the interface in a state where the number could be broadcast at any time, then picked up the metal baseball bat that had been placed by the door for self-defense, and slammed the door open——

It was empty outside the door, and there was no one there.

Did she hear wrong?Ruan Mohan felt that this was absolutely impossible.

When I lowered my head, I saw a red envelope lying on the floor mat.

Thin, flat.Ruan Mohan picked it up, wondering if it was a couplet and lucky characters from the community.

Opened it up, it was empty.

Could it be that the children of the neighbors and relatives played a prank?Ruan Mohan threw the red envelope into the trash can.

After a while, the phone rang, a string of unfamiliar and familiar numbers.

Ruan Mohan picked it up: "It's only Tuesday, and it's still far away from Saturday, so don't you already miss me?"

Jian Shuo snorted: "My goal now is Zhong Yunli, I'm busy."

"Then what's the matter?" Ruan Mohan said, "I'll charge you extra if you call me on Saturdays outside of [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]."

"You don't have to be so strict for the Chinese New Year." Jian Shuo said with a smile: "Besides, I'm looking for you to give you a New Year's gift."

"Did you get it?" she asked.

In high spirits.Boring.

Ruan Mo said coldly: "No."

"Then you open the door, there is a red envelope on the floor mat."

"The red envelope was given by you?" Ruan Mohan asked: "Why did you send an empty red envelope? The red envelope itself is a gift?"

Jian Shuo let out a "huh": "I am such a rich and powerful young lady, is it possible?"

"If you send money, you don't need to send cash." Ruan Mohan was still indifferent: "Just call my card, your sister-in-law has my card number."

Jian Shuo said lazily, "Director Ruan, you are really looking for money. Is money so sweet?"

"Isn't money fragrant?" Ruan Mohan asked, "Why did you give me a New Year's gift? Do you like me?"

Jian Shuo chuckled for a while, charming, naive, and bewitching: "Thank you for telling me jokes during Chinese New Year, it's much more funny than cross talk jokes."

"Just thank you for telling me where the cat was last night, I don't like to owe people either."

Jian Shuo hung up the phone.

Ruan Mohan went to the kitchen and picked up the red envelopes in the trash can.

Open it and shake it against your palm.

Today is a sunny day, the sunlight outside the window shines in, and in Ruan Mohan's white palm, three light golden cat furs are shining brightly.

Ruan Mohan couldn't help but send a text message to that string of strange numbers: "You won't eat that cat last night, will you?"

Jian Shuo did not reply for a long time.

Ruan Mohan turned on the computer, continued to work, and did not send another text message to ask questions.

Twenty minutes later, as she expected, the phone rang and a text message came in.

is a photo.

In Jian Shuo's selfie, she grimaced at the camera, her slender eyebrows were raised into her temples, she was so charming that she was not human, her black thick curly long hair was casually scattered, and she set off a slapped face, like an elf.

Sitting by the window, Jian Shuo also had the sun shining in from the window on his face, the golden color coated his facial features, even making funny faces looks good.The tongue sticks out long, and there is chewed meat on the tip of the tongue.

Two more words were sent: "Eat!"

Ruan Mohan ignored her and continued to work.

After a while, the phone rang again, and Jian Shuo sent a text message to ask: "Why don't you believe it???"

With three question marks, one can almost imagine her disappointed and coquettish tone.

His tone was cold, and there was no emotion in his voice.

Ruan Mo coldly replied: "Eat less luncheon meat, too much sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite can cause cancer."

Jian Shuo soon sent another text message.

Another selfie.

Still sitting by the window, barefoot, curled up on a chair.Maybe my friend's house is very well heated, and even a pair of slender long legs are bare, just a white shirt wrapped around her body.

The shirt was not neatly worn, the neckline was slanted, half of the white shoulders were exposed, the top two buttons were not buttoned properly, and there was a small red spot on the slender neck near the collarbone.

Like hickeys.

Ruan Mohan zoomed in and saw that the pixels of the photo were limited, so he couldn't see clearly.

Ruan Mohan knew nothing about Jian Shuo's life.

She didn't want to ask either.

Directly delete Jian Shuo's text message dialog box, and it will be quiet.

******

The Saturday when I met Jian Shuo again was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.Ruan Mohan prepared afternoon snacks and yogurt for Ruan Qingyin, ready to go out.

Ruan Qingyin asked: "Or go to that medical research that can collect money?"

Ruan Mohan nodded.

Ruan Qingyin asked again: "Why is it 10 minutes earlier today?"

Ruan Mohan: "Go see a colleague first."

The colleague Ruan Mohan wants to meet is Chu Xingyun.

Listening started on time on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.Chu Xingyun and her husband returned to Beicheng on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, rested for two days, and prepared to go to work.

She contacted Ruan Mohan last night and said that she had brought special products from her hometown.

In order to thank Ruan Mohan for running for her on New Year's Eve.

Ruan Mohan replied: "It's really not necessary."

Chu Xingyun insisted: "Otherwise, my conscience is disturbed."

Ruan Mohan understands this kind of psychology, otherwise he always feels that he owes someone something.

Chu Xingyun said he would send it to her this afternoon, and Ruan Mohan made an appointment before he went to W Hotel.

Chu Xingyun arrived on time and took out a huge ham with white skin and red meat from the trunk.

She said with a smile: "The casserole stew is especially delicious."

Ruan Mohan was surprised: "So big?"

"Otherwise, how can I express my heart." Chu Xingyun said: "The ham in my hometown is the most delicious. If it weren't for the fact that I would eat less pickles when I was pregnant, I really want to have a piece of it for every meal."

Ruan Mohan nodded: "Thank you."

Chu Xingyun: "You don't seem surprised that I'm pregnant?"

She is in the first trimester and has not told anyone except her husband and parents.But she somehow felt that she could tell Ruan Mohan, probably because Ruan Mohan was never interested in other people's affairs, so she didn't have to hide it.

Ruan Mohan is not a talkative person, and he didn't want to reveal that Jian Shuo had obtained the news from the doctor and told her, so he just said: "I can hear that your breathing rhythm has become faster."

Chu Xingyun was even more surprised: "Can you hear the rhythm of human breathing? So amazing?"

Ruan Mohan nodded.

Chu Xingyun asked with a smile: "Then can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?"

Ruan Mohan: "Manager Chu, this is a human ear, not an ultrasound instrument."

Chu Xingyun smiled: "Fortunately, I am still doing medical research. How could I ask such a question? I am so happy that I am dizzy."

She smiled contentedly and drove away.

Ruan Mohan dragged a huge ham and stood by the side of the road, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Because she had a few words with Chu Xingyun, she didn't have time to go home to store the ham, so she put it in the trunk temporarily and drove to the W Hotel.

At two o'clock, knock on the door of room 1704 on time.

Jian Shuo came to open the door, dragged her in, and pushed her against the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the entrance.

With a kick from the slender calf, the door slammed shut.

She clamped Ruan Mohan's wrists with one hand and raised them above her head.

Ruan Mohan touched the mirror with the back of his hand, and after a slight pain, the mirror surface was bitingly cold.

Ruan Mohan trembled slightly.

Jian Shuo smiled slyly: "You like it, don't you?"

Treat it with a touch of rudeness.

With one free hand, Jian Shuo supported her waist and led her to spin around.

Ruan Mohan turned into a whole person facing the mirror.The thrust from behind was still there, Ruan Mohan's face was pressed against the mirror, and he could see his own breath spraying a fuzzy cloud of white on the mirror.

Jian Shuo came up from behind and bit her ear.

While biting her earlobe back and forth with the tips of his teeth, he said vaguely, "Look in the mirror."

The mirror made all the movements come into Ruan Mohan's eyes.

The direct visual stimulation brings a burst of shyness and aggravates the sharpness of the body.

Jian Shuo: "Don't look away."

Ruan Mohan opened his eyes through the white mist he sprayed out on the mirror, watching all this.

The long eyelashes swept across the mirror, and when Jian Shuo stretched her neck, she saw a small red dot near the collarbone.

Like a hickey, it hasn't faded yet.

Is it a hickey?Ruan Mohan was not sure.My mind was dizzy, and even my vision was blurred.

Jian Shuo let go of her wrist and bit her finger.

Suddenly frowning: "What smell?"

Ruan Mohan realized: "Oh, it's ham."

Jian Shuo was stunned: "Ham?"

"The specialties from my hometown that Chu Xingyun brought to me."

Jian Shuo let go of Ruan Mohan: "You took the ham and came directly to me to make it.i?"

"Questions?"

Jian Shuo opened the door, grabbed Ruan Mohan's slender wrist and pulled her out: "Let's go."

"Where?"

"Anyway, we won't really do.i, let's make ham."

******

In a high-end community in the east of the city, there is an elevator.

Jian Shuo flamboyantly carried the huge ham, wearing cat-eye sunglasses, and stood leaning against the elevator wall.

In the elevator, a young mother was holding the hand of her little son with a nervous expression on her face.

The little boy was led by his mother, but his eyes kept staring at Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo made a grimace at him, making a gnawing gesture like an evil cat biting someone: "Roar——"

The sharp teeth on the lip are exposed.

The little boy said in a childish voice: "Mom—"

The young mother immediately stopped him: "Shut up, don't talk!"

The elevator door opened with a "ding", and she immediately picked up her little son under her arm and fled like the wind.

Jian Shuo laughed loudly, shaking the ham on her shoulder: "She wouldn't think I killed someone! This is a human leg!"

Ruan Mohan complained: That's not because the bt temperament on your face is too obvious.

Their floor has arrived.

Jian Shuo opened the door of the room on the left: "My friend's house, please come in."
