Xingnian Tea House

"Has he been doing well?"

Lin Nanyue wanted to know about Qiao Xingnian's past, but he didn't dare to ask directly, so he could only slap Jiang Mohan sideways.

Jiang Mohan sighed, and said: "He didn't mention the previous things, but my dad would occasionally talk about how difficult it was for my aunt to take him. It's not easy for children from single-parent families, let alone him. My aunt brought it up by herself, and his ears are still..."

Just by imagining what kind of situation a woman has to face with a disabled child.

Lin Nanyue nodded, looking at Qiao Xingnian with distressed eyes.

"It's not easy for him these years, but he worked hard enough, so he has the Xingnian Tea House. Seeing him getting better and better every day, as a brother, I am really relieved."

"I heard that the house you live in is going to be demolished."

"Well, a notice has been issued, saying that it will be demolished in August, and must move out of the community in July."

Lin Nanyue asked with concern: "Then where will he live in the future? Has he found a house yet?"

"Why, does Team Lin want to give him a house?" Jiang Mohan said jokingly.

"There happens to be a vacant apartment downstairs in the unit I live in. If he hasn't found a house yet, he can move there and we can take care of each other upstairs and downstairs."

Seeing Lin Nanyue's serious expression, Jiang Mohan was startled, and then said with a smile: "Captain Lin doesn't really want to give him the house, does he?"

"He has helped me a lot during these days. If he doesn't mind, then the house will be a thank you gift." Lin Nanyue hoped that Qiao Xingnian could move there, so that he could be near the water first.

Jiang Mohan was surprised by Lin Nanyue's generosity, and said with a smile: "Team Lin is worthy of being the top rich second generation, and the house is given away as soon as you say it. But we have already found a house, and it is in Taoyuan Community, so Team Lin's kindness, we Got it."

"Taoyuan District?" Lin Nanyue was a little disappointed, but he didn't want to give up, and said, "It's a bit far away from the tea house."

Jiang Mohan smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "No way, with my current financial strength, I can also buy a house there."

Lin Nanyue was startled, and then said apologetically, "Doctor Jiang, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."

"It's okay, I understand, Team Lin doesn't need to explain. I bought him a house for my own selfishness without telling Xiaonian. I just didn't want him to be too far away from me, so I bought the same community. In this way, people living upstairs and downstairs That way, our brothers can also have a caretaker, and when my father and mother come to see us, they don’t have to run back and forth.”

Lin Nanyue nodded in understanding, and said, "Dr. Jiang is really kind to him!"

"It's all about heart to heart. What he gave me is far more than what I gave him."

Jiang Mohan said as he turned his head and looked out the window, obviously lost in memory.

Lin Nanyue thought he didn't want to talk anymore, so he didn't ask any more questions.He picked up a magazine casually, trying to pass the boring time, when he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and turned his head to see Qiao Xingnian was leaning on his shoulder, sleeping soundly.

Lin Nanyue's body stiffened immediately, fearing that if he moved, he would wake him up. After waiting for a while, seeing that Qiao Xingnian was in a deep sleep, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly relaxed his body.

Qiao Xingnian's breathing was slightly cool, and his body was almost without temperature. In this early summer, Lin Nanyue felt very comfortable being leaned on by him like this.In addition, he has already made his mind clear, and being able to have such a skin-to-skin relationship with the person he likes makes him feel very satisfied.

Qiao Xingnian slept all the way until he arrived at the destination and was woken up by Jiang Mohan. He opened his eyes sleepily and found that he was leaning on Lin Nanyue's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Team Lin, I'm sorry."

Lin Nanyue shook his head and said, "It's more comfortable to sleep this way."

"It's really comfortable." Qiao Xingnian stretched his waist and said, "I feel refreshed now, but I'm a little hungry. Let's get off the plane quickly and find a place to have a good meal."

Jiang Mohan was amused for a while, and said: "Sleep and eat, eat and sleep, you will almost become a pig."

Qiao Xingnian raised his arms, showing off his muscles, and said with a smile, "Can a pig have such a good figure?"

"Childish." Jiang Mohan suddenly felt dumbfounded, and said, "Let's go quickly, and see who else is on this plane."

Lin Nanyue walked out of the seat first, followed by Qiao Xingnian. Seeing them coming out, Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing who were sitting behind them also got up, and chased after them in two or three steps.

Li Xiaoshuai asked out loud, "Brother Qiao, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find a place to have a big meal." Qiao Xingnian liked them quite a lot, so he didn't have any defenses, and he said his plan straightforwardly.

"So do we, it's just the first time here, and we don't know where to go."

How could Qiao Xingnian not understand what the two of them meant, and said, "I've been here a few times, if you don't mind, come with us."

"Okay, okay, thank you, brother Joe."

A group of five people got off the plane, took another salute, and then walked out of the airport.Because there were five people, one taxi couldn't fit, so they stopped two cars.Qiao Xingnian got one car for three people, Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing got one car, and the car started slowly after telling the driver to follow the car.

After arriving at the destination, the five people got out of the car one after another, looked up at the surrounding buildings, and Jiang Mohan said doubtfully, "Is there the delicious food you said?"

"Brother, don't think that the buildings here are a little old, so you don't think there is any delicious food. There is a very authentic rice noodle restaurant in front of you. I guarantee that after you eat it, you will never forget it."

Jiang Mohan looked at the luggage carried by the five people, and said, "The small shop you mentioned must be very small. We have so many salutes, and we can't fill up other people's small shop."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "I've thought of this a long time ago. We can set up a table outside the store and put the salutes aside."

"You also said to treat us to a big meal, but you came over to eat rice noodles. I think you are stingy." Jiang Mohan is reminding Qiao Xingnian that there are not only the three of them, but also two other children, so they just eat a bowl of rice noodles, right? It looks a bit shabby.

"Brother, look at what you said. I treat you as my own, so I brought you here to eat some local specialties. If it's just for looks, then you can just pick a random one and eat." How could Qiao Xingnian not Knowing what Jiang Mohan meant, he resolved Jiang Mohan's worries with a few words.

Li Xiaoshuai quickly said: "Brother Qiao is right, if you want to eat a big meal, you can get it in Hucheng. When we come to travel, we must eat the local specialties, so that we will not be in vain."

Xu Jianing also followed Ying He, saying: "I usually like to eat rice noodles, and when I came to Yunnan, I also wanted to come and try the authentic Yunnan rice noodles. It was the right time to come here with Brother Qiao."

"All right, all right, I can see that, what he said, you are all right." Jiang Mohan looked at Lin Nanyue, and said with a smile: "Team Lin has no objection, right?"

Lin Nanyue smiled and said, "It's good to eat rice noodles."

"Yeah, I'm the only one who has a lot to do, so it's over." Jiang Mohan said pretending to be angry.

Qiao Xingnian hastily smiled flatteringly and said, "Don't be angry, brother, we will go wherever brother says next time, we will follow his orders, we promise we have no objection."

"Stinky boy!" Jiang Mohan said angrily: "Okay, let's go quickly, aren't you already hungry?"

"Yeah, hurry up, there are not only rice noodles over there, but also a lot of special snacks, I guarantee you will have a round belly."

Qiao Xingnian led the crowd towards the alley, turned a corner and arrived at the snack street. The street, which was deserted just now, suddenly became lively, and the fragrance wafted in bursts, causing several people to swallow their mouths.

"With popularity, anger, and pot gas, this is the paradise of gourmet food." Qiao Xingnian waved his hand and said, "Just buy whatever you want. Don't be too polite. I'll treat you to this meal."

Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing looked at each other and said, "Thank you, Brother Qiao!"

Jiang Mohan came to a small shop selling flower cakes, looked at the flower cakes in front of the booth, and said, "The flower cakes look like this, I thought they were going to look like flowers."

"Brother, the reason why the flower cake is called flower cake is because of the inside, not the shape. Don't you like snacks, let's buy some and try."

"Then buy less, you don't like sweets, buying too much is a burden."

Qiao Xingnian looked at the shop owner and said, "Boss, how much is this flower cake?"

The boss smiled and replied: "4 yuan a catty, about four per catty."

"What flavor do they have?"

"There are matcha, oatmeal, purple sweet potato and original flavors."

"Brother, what flavor do you want to eat?"

"We need three of each of the four flavors. Let's taste the taste and come back to buy it if it tastes good."

"Success." Qiao Xingnian looked at the boss again and said, "Boss, then get three of each flavor and weigh them for us."

"okay."

The boss took a bag, filled the flower cakes according to Qiao Xingnian's request, weighed them on the scale, and said, "It's more than three catties, just give me thirteen."

Qiao Xingnian took the flower cake, took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay, and then took out the flower cake to share with several people.

Jiang Mohan said with a smile: "Hey, this purple potato is delicious, not greasy at all, and has a strong smell of roses."

Xu Jianing followed suit and said, "I also think purple sweet potatoes are the best."

Seeing that Lin Nanyue was silent, Qiao Xingnian asked, "What does Team Lin think?"

"I like the original flavor, how about you?"

"I don't like sweets. This kind of dessert tastes the same to me." Qiao Xingnian paused, pointed to the store beside him, and said, "Here we are, this is the small store."

Jiang Mohan looked at it, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a small shop, but there are quite a few customers, and it is full."

"Of course, this rice noodle shop is very famous in the local area." Qiao Xingnian stepped forward and said loudly, "Boss, set up a table outside. Let's eat outside."

"Okay, come right away."

The boss greeted the waiter, asked him to set up a table in the shade outside, moved five small stools, and invited them to sit down.

"Whatever you want to eat, just go to the store and order."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "You take turns to look inside, and then come back and tell me what you want to eat, and I'll order it."

Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing went in to have a look, ordered two casserole rice noodles, and told Qiao Xingnian that they had already ordered.

Qiao Xingnian nodded, and entered the small shop with Jiang Mohan and Lin Nanyue, each ordered what they wanted to eat.After Qiao Xingnian paid the bill, he went to another place to buy a plate of ham, a large bowl of bean curd, a bowl of pea jelly, and a serving of Zhuzhua noodles.

"These are Yunnan specialty snacks, try them out soon." Qiao Xingnian took the lead to pick up the chopsticks and ate pea jelly, saying, "It's really comfortable to eat a bowl of jelly in this weather."

Seeing this, everyone picked up their chopsticks and ate.

"This jelly is really good." Jiang Mohan also took a few mouthfuls.

Li Xiaoshuai is more fond of Zhuazhuafen, and said: "There is also this Zhuazhuafen, which is hot and sour and cool, and tastes really good."

While eating, Xu Jianing said, "When traveling, you should eat these local specialties, which are much more authentic than those sold outside."

Qiao Xingnian saw that Lin Nanyue took a bite of Zhuzhuafen and was so hot that he drank water straight away, and said, "Wait a minute, I almost forgot, there is one more delicious thing that must not be missed."

Lin Nanyue stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"It's fine, I can't take it if I save it."

Lin Nanyue followed Qiao Xingnian into the alley and stopped in front of a small shop.

Lin Nanyue looked up at the signboard and said, "Qingbuliang?"

"Qingbuliang is a famous food in Hainan, but this restaurant is also very authentic. This kind of weather is suitable for eating this. It is especially suitable for Team Lin who can't eat spicy food, but still wants to be brave."

Lin Nanyue couldn't help being a little dazed when he heard the words. Seeing Qiao Xingnian smiling and talking to the boss, he felt sweet in his heart. It turned out that he came to buy this for him.

"Here." Qiao Xingnian handed the first Qingbuliang to Lin Nanyue, and said, "The weather here is hot and humid, so it's okay to eat something spicy, but if you can't eat it, don't eat it, it's a burden on your body."

"Thank you." Lin Nanyue took the Qingbuliang and said, "It's not that I can't eat anything spicy, but I just have to eat rice. Last time I ate spicy fish with you, I ate quite a lot."

Qiao Xingnian likes spicy food, if he is with him in the future, it is inevitable that they will eat together, he doesn't want to be unable to eat together with Qiao Xingnian.

Qiao Xingnian couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said, "Captain Lin, I know you are strong, but you shouldn't be strong in such a small matter."

"It's not a small thing, it's a lifetime thing."

Lin Nanyue could only think about this in his heart now, and said, "I didn't try to be brave. I just ate less in the past, so I was a little sensitive to spicy taste. If I eat more, I can eat it."

Lin Nanyue added another sentence in his heart, "In order to match what he likes, even if he can't, he must."

"alright."

Qiao Xingnian shook his head helplessly, he didn't understand why Lin Nanyue cared so much about these trivial matters.He handed him the other two Qingbuliang, and the two walked back with them.

When they came back, the rice noodles were already on the table. Everyone chatted while eating. The food was full of heat and they were sweating profusely.

The five of them had enough to eat and drink, and it was time to separate. After exchanging contact information with Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing, the three of Qiao Xingnian took a taxi to the hotel they reserved.

Qiao Xingnian was only focused on chatting with Lin Nanyue, and didn't see the girl walking towards him. The girl seemed to be a little absent-minded, so the two bumped into each other.

Qiao Xingnian hurriedly turned his head to look over, and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, you didn't get hurt, did you?"

The boy next to the girl was a little dissatisfied, and his tone of voice was a bit aggressive, saying, "You are such a big man, why don't you look at him when you walk?"

The girl pulled the boy, looked up at Qiao Xingnian, she was stunned for a while, and then said: "I'm fine, I was distracted just now, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, as long as you didn't get hurt. Are you staying in this hotel too?"

Qiao Xingnian randomly found a topic to resolve the current embarrassment.

The girl looked at the luggage in their hands, nodded and said, "Well, you too?"

"Book a hotel before you come here. The reviews are pretty good, so I booked here. What do you think of the various aspects here?"

"I think it's not bad for the time being, at least the room is spacious and clean."

Seeing the girl chatting with Qiao Xingnian, the boy looked at Qiao Xingnian warily, and said, "Xiao Lan, we still have something to do, it's not time to chat."

Xiao Lan smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, we still have something to do, so let's go first."

Qiao Xingnian responded and watched Xiao Lan and Liu Kai go further and further away.The seemingly absent resentment on their bodies indicated that they had been targeted by the resentful ghost, but they didn't know what enmity the resentful ghost had with them.

Seeing Qiao Xingnian staring at Xiao Lan's back in a daze, Jiang Mohan joked, "What's the matter, is it love at first sight?"

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Lin Nanyue, who had been paying attention to Qiao Xingnian, also followed her. The girl was indeed quite beautiful.

Especially those peach blossom eyes, which make people feel affectionate when looking at anyone, and they have a good figure.

"Yes, I am "love at first sight". She is pretty and has a good personality. I think she is very good to be my sister-in-law. Do you want to think about it? "

Hearing the previous words, Lin Nanyue's heart twitched, and it hurt a little.Fortunately, Qiao Xingnian added a sentence later, and he was relieved and calmed down.

Jiang Mohan laughed and scolded when he heard the words: "Stinky boy, I think you just need to clean up!"

"I have to clean up, and I have to go in and clean up again. Hurry up and check in so I can take a shower. I'm going to faint from the smell of sweat."

The three of them dragged their luggage into the hotel, checked in at the front desk, and went back to their rooms.Qiao Xingnian put down his luggage, and now he searched the room carefully to see if there was a pinhole camera installed.After searching carefully, nothing unusual was found, so he turned on the air conditioner, took his clothes and went to take a shower with confidence.

Qiao Xingnian took a hot shower. Because the air conditioner was turned on, the temperature in the room was just right. He stretched himself, fell on the bed, and planned to rest for a while before going out.

"Buzzing buzzing", the phone vibrated, Qiao Xingnian picked up the phone and looked at it, then got up and opened the door, looked at Lin Nanyue at the door and smiled, let him open the door, let him in, and said: "Team Lin Didn't take a shower?"

"After washing, my clothes are almost the same, you may not be able to tell."

Qiao Xingnian didn't notice the difference in the clothes, but the hair was also dry, so it was a bit unreasonable.A vague smell attracted his attention, and he couldn't help but get closer and smell it.

Seeing this, Lin Nanyue stiffened instantly, held his breath unconsciously, and his heart skipped a beat. He swallowed and said, "You..."

Before Lin Nanyue could finish speaking, Qiao Xingnian straightened up and said, "Team Lin wears perfume?"

Lin Nanyue heaved a sigh of relief, but felt a little lost, and explained: "It's hot and humid here, and I sweat at every turn. To cover up the smell of sweat, I sprayed some on it."

It was true to cover up the smell of sweat, just because Qiao Xingnian would smell his sweaty smell.

Qiao Xingnian nodded, and asked with a smile, "It smells very refreshing. What brand is it? I want to buy a bottle too."

Qiao Xingnian is very sensitive to smells, and has never liked the smell of perfume, but he does not dislike the smell of Lin Nanyue's body. If it can cover up the smell of sweat, he doesn't mind spraying it on.

"I really didn't pay attention to this. If you want, I'll give you that bottle. But you already have a good smell on your body, so you don't need to wear perfume at all."

For some reason, the more Lin Nanyue spoke, the more uncomfortable he became, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"I have a smell?" Qiao Xingnian couldn't hear the sound, so he didn't notice Lin Nanyue's discomfort. He raised his arm and smelled it, and said strangely, "Why can't I smell it? What is the smell?"

"Usually the smell is very light, only when you sweat, the smell is slightly stronger, so it's normal that you can't smell it." When Lin Nanyue was talking, he didn't dare to look at Qiao Xingnian, pretending to be looking for something, and said: "The smell It's unique, I can't describe it, but it smells good."

Qiao Xingnian couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Hearing what you said, then I have become the rumored "Xiangfei"? "

Lin Nanyue froze when he heard the words, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and said, "It's not "Xiangfei", it's Xiangzi. "

Qiao Xingnian was startled when he heard that, and then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Team Lin to joke around. It's really rare. Team Lin, what are you looking for? You've been looking for a long time."

The smile on Lin Nanyue's face froze, and he said subtly, "I'm looking for a pinhole camera in the room."

"No, I have looked for it."

Lin Nanyue passed the test with the reason he was looking for, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He took the bracelet from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Xingnian, saying, "Mosquito repellent bracelets, I bought three, and these are for you."

Qiao Xingnian took a look at the bracelet and said, "The shape of this bracelet is very unique. It looks much better than the one I bought. It looks like a bracelet when worn."

"You bought it too?" Lin Nanyue covertly covered the bracelet on his wrist. This was specially chosen by him. The style of the two bracelets is the same, but the color is different. When worn, it looks like a couple's bracelet, which is very popular. Couples are welcome, so Lin Nanyue will buy it.

"I haven't come to Yunnan once or twice. It is necessary to prepare for the tea garden." Qiao Xingnian put on the bracelet and said, "This bracelet is not bad. Since Team Lin gave it to me, I will take it. "

Hearing Qiao Xingnian's subordinates, Lin Nanyue was overjoyed and said, "It was originally for you."

Qiao Xingnian walked to the suitcase, opened it, took out a whole set of tea sets, looked up and said, "Captain Lin, help me boil a pot of water."

Lin Nanyue nodded, opened the mineral water bottle in the room, poured it into the kettle, plugged in the electricity and started to boil.

"You still bring the tea set when you go out, don't you think it's troublesome?"

While cleaning the tea set, Qiao Xingnian said, "No. I have the habit of drinking tea, and I'm not used to drinking tea made by others. In order to keep my journey pleasant, I always take it with me every time I go out. In the mountains, if you can drink mountain spring water, the tea brewed will be more flavorful."

"Is there any difference between tea made from mountain spring water and mineral water?"

"Of course." Qiao Xingnian patiently explained: "Each type of tea requires different water. It's just that in cities, it's not practical to use this kind of mountain spring water, so mineral water is usually used."

"Mountain spring water is also raw water, will drinking it have any effect on the body?"

"Of course the water received cannot be drunk directly, it needs to be filtered, and after boiling, it must be dried naturally to the temperature suitable for making tea."

"It sounds very cumbersome." Lin Nanyue is impatient, and he really wouldn't do such troublesome things just to satisfy his appetite.

"This is the difference between like and love." Qiao Xingnian said with a smile: "I don't have any other hobbies, but I love drinking tea and eating delicious food. When conditions permit, I will take the trouble to do it. Like Team Lin's love for the police job."

Lin Nanyue was taken aback. Qiao Xingnian was right. Investigating cases is much more difficult than making tea, but he still explored with great patience, precisely because this is his favorite career.In this way, it's not difficult to understand why Qiao Xingnian would carry tea sets everywhere, it was his favorite thing.

"you're right."

Looking at Qiao Xingnian's profile, Lin Nanyue couldn't help thinking whether he liked him or loved him now.

Seeing Lin Nanyue staring at him in a daze, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but jokingly said, "Is Team Lin also fascinated by my handsome face?"

Lin Nanyue was stunned, feeling a sense of embarrassment of being seen through...
