    Chapter 26: Fluffy Visitor

    It’s been snowing heavily these past few nights, and it’s freezing cold. It happens to be New Year’s Eve. Everyone has been busy preparing food for a long time. Now they are all huddled on the kang in grandma’s house, watching TV and chatting. Qi Zhixuan also catted on the kang for a while, but thinking about calling Chen Runsong soon, he went back to his and Pang Jing’s house.

    Every few days he would talk to Songsong and look at his swimming goggles, and today was no exception. Being able to lie on the hot kang and talk to the little pets at home, there was nothing more pleasant than this. Qi Zhixuan couldn’t help but soften his voice a little.

    “Swimming goggles, baby, it’s Chinese New Year today. Are you good? Did you eat well? Did you pee randomly?”

    “Meow~” came the soft meow of a kitten from the phone.

    “You’re so good, and you still answer questions. The baby is great.”

    “Meow~~”

    Pang Whale was holding the snacks that his grandma had brought to him, and he happened to hear his sticky voice calling the baby on the phone. His voice sounded more like a kitten than swimming goggles.

    He leaned against the door and listened for a while. When the person he was talking to changed, Pang Jing put the snacks on the Kang table and listened quietly to him chatting with Chen Runsong.

    Chen Runsong gave feedback very dutifully, saying that he was not as active in eating as before and even urinated once. It may be that the estrus period has indeed arrived.

    But it has been to Chen Runsong’s house several times before and is relatively familiar with it, so it has adapted well and is in good spirits. Lin Yan also bought it a bunch of toys and teased it with different tricks every day.

    “You have spoiled it rotten. What will you do when you get back to your own home?”

    “Then just think of it as my kitten.” Chen Runsong’s voice came through the mobile phone, but he sounded a little tired.

    Qi Zhixuan took a closer look at the people on the screen. Songsong used to be very motivated and continued to work even when he was sick, but today he looked listless.”Songsong, I think you look really bad today. Are you sick?”

    “No, no,” Chen Runsong forced a smile, “It’s just that I haven’t had a holiday for a long time. I stayed up late these days as a revenge and played games all night long. Don’t worry.” He didn’t elaborate. Qi Zhixuan saw that he was really not in good spirits and urged him to take a rest. He hung up the phone without a few words.

    After hanging up the phone, Chen Runsong touched his face. His face looked too bad?It’s probably true. I haven’t slept well these past few days, and it’s all because of that Jiang Xianfan!

    That day Jiang Xianfan called him. Chen Runsong was a businessman and would usually answer the call regardless of whether the number was saved or not. But he didn’t expect it was Jiang Xianfan and asked him to go to the arcade. It was simply inexplicable.

    I finally made up my mind to stay away from this person, and even stopped doing business with him, but I didn’t expect him to come to my door!

    Although, Chen Runsong still agreed without any hope, thinking that he should at least find out whether this person was a gay man who cheated on his marriage. If it was true, he would be given a social death by then, so as not to harm others, and at the same time, he would also give himself a break.

    When the appointed time came, Jiang Xianfan came downstairs to pick him up. He originally wanted to drive there by himself, but the little bread was a bit shaky when winter came. He recently went to the repair shop again, and he didn’t know if he could survive the winter.

    When he got downstairs, seeing his naked horse parked in front of the old rented community, it was really a bit of a contrast. Chen Runsong felt that he was overestimating his ability before wanting to have a relationship with someone.

    “You’re here.” Opening the car door, Chen Runsong sat in the back seat, and Jiang Xianfan greeted him.

    “Yeah.” He didn’t say anything, just looked at the scenery outside the window.

    It has been snowing recently, and every day a thick layer is spread on the flower bed downstairs. It is piled messily on the ground stained with mud and water by the children nearby. It looks a little irritating when it is dirty.

    Jiang Xianfan glanced at the person in the rearview mirror and was very depressed. In his impression, Chen Runsong always loved to laugh. Every time he saw him, he looked like two cute little pear dimples. Last time he was unhappy, and this time he seemed to have no energy.

    “Shall we go to the video game city last time?” Jiang Xianfan felt that he was in a bad mood and asked carefully.

    “It’s okay, I have the card.”

    I’m talking about the coin card from last time, which I left with Chen Runsong.

    No one spoke along the way, and the driving was very quiet. It was almost Chinese New Year, and there were many people driving back to their hometowns, and they had to wait for a long time at almost every traffic light.

    Chen Runsong was thinking in every waiting interval, thinking about why this person called him out, and thinking about how he should find out the information. Should he make insinuations, but how should he ask, or should he ask directly?Isn’t that not good? When asked what was embarrassing, the scene was so ugly.

    Jiang Xianfan glanced at him in the rearview mirror from time to time and noticed that Chen Runsong’s expressionless face at the beginning suddenly turned into a look of bitterness and hatred. He was a little confused. What happened? Could it be that something happened to him during this time?

    But he hadn’t seen Chen Runsong for a long time, and he didn’t know his recent movements. It was hard to guess what he was thinking, but he seemed to have lost weight and lacked energy. Thinking of this, he felt uncomfortable.

    Soon the two of them arrived at the video game city. It was a busy time in the afternoon, and there were many children there during the holidays. The number of people was overwhelming.

    Chen Runsong and Jiang Xianfan played inside for a while. Because there were so many people, many machines had to be queued.

    “Let’s wait in line for this.” Jiang Xianfan chose the one with the fewest people, and Chen Runsong followed him carelessly. He felt that Jiang Xianfan was really weird. During the Chinese New Year, he insisted on doing this when there were so many people. Just wait in line. However, some children were very rude and would jump in line when they saw an opportunity. The adults didn’t care. Isn’t it just a shame to come here?

    When there were only a few people in line, a fat man of seven or eight years old ran over and gave Chen Runsong and Jiang Xianfan a kick while squeezing in the gap between them.

    Chen Runsong happened to be wearing a pair of white shoes today. There was a big footprint on the shoe. Jiang Xianfan’s shiny leather shoes also became dirty. He was already annoyed, but now he was even more angry and grabbed the little fat man’s clothes. “Hey, boy, everyone is queuing up, you can’t see anyone.”

    “I’ve been here a long time ago!” The little fat man grumbled and tried to get rid of his hand, but Chen Runsong was a dough kneader and his hands were so strong that he couldn’t pull away at all.

    He stretched out his shoes and pointed, “Apologise, and then get in line, otherwise you won’t be able to run today.”

    The little fat man ignored him and started struggling like a wild boar.

    “Tsk.” Chen Runsong pressed the pig tightly and winked at the back: “Jiang Xianfan, call the police. My shoes are very valuable. I will ask his parents to pay for it later.”

    “Okay.” Jiang Xianfan took out his mobile phone and cooperated with his performance.

    When the little fat man heard “call the police”, he was so frightened that he howled, “I don’t, I don’t, I don’t want it.”

    “Don’t apologize, okay? If you refuse to admit your mistake, the crime will be increased, and you will have to call the police.” Chen Runsong let out an evil laugh, and the two little pear dimples had malicious intentions on their faces. Jiang Xianfan was suddenly teased and wanted to laugh.

    Being coerced by the annoying adults, the little fat man could only give in: “No, no, don’t call. I apologize…I apologize!”

    “Tao.” Chen Runsong held his head high and stretched out his shoes.

    “Sorry brother.”

    “And him.” He pointed to Jiang Xianfan next to him.

    “Sorry uncle.”

    “…” Jiang Xianfan’s smile suddenly froze, and he was thinking about whether to really call the police.

    Chen Runsong really smiled at this moment, “You have a lot of eyesight, let’s go.”

    The little fat man finally escaped, and a pig suddenly plunged into the crowd and disappeared.

    After the farce ended, the game happened to be scheduled for them, and the two played for a while. Chen Runsong looked at the children running around in the field and felt it was boring.

    “Let’s go, let’s go, there are so many people, these lousy kids have no manners at all, they just cut in line, why are they having fun.”

    Jiang Xianfan saw Chen Runsong angrily holding his hand and walking out, and suddenly felt very happy. Compared with the wilting look, such an angry Chen Runsong was very cute.

    “What are you doing? You’re still happy. We didn’t even see the dust on your feet. I don’t even know how expensive your leather shoes are. You’ve ruined a few of them.”

    “It’s okay.” Jiang Xianfan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, squatted down, and wanted to clean Chen Runsong’s shoes.

    Chen Runsong shrank in fear, “You…what are you doing?”

    “Don’t you feel dirty?” Jiang Xianfan raised his head and looked at him with serious eyes.

    “No… no need, I just said casually, just wipe your own.” Chen Runsong walked to the elevator in a panic, and Jiang Xianfan had no choice but to polish his own leather shoes and follow him.

    When he reached the elevator, Chen Runsong suddenly stopped and asked him, “Hey, did you ask me to come here because you were bored?”

    “I…” Jiang Xianfan was speechless.

    Jiang Xianfan wasn’t bored or wanted to play video games, he just… just wanted to see Chen Runsong. He held his number for several days and couldn’t think of any reason to call him out, so he decided to make an appointment.

    “Okay, young master, I’ll take you to kill time and drive there.” Chen Runsong saw that he couldn’t say anything after hesitating for a long time, so he pushed him directly to the elevator.

    They were the first to get on the elevator, and then a large number of people squeezed in, squeezing the two of them into a corner.

    Jiang Xianfan was tall and could not be squeezed, but Chen Runsong was squeezed to his side, so Jiang Xianfan pulled him over, set up a small open space in the corner, blocked the person in front of him with his body, and hugged Chen Runsong.

    Although Jiang Xianfan was originally taller than Chen Runsong, now that he was shrinking, he felt a lot shorter. Chen Runsong was a little unconvinced and struggled to stand up straight, stretching his neck too far.

    “What’s wrong? It’s crowded? We’ll be there soon.” Jiang Xianfan saw him squirming around and said something close to his ear.

    The warm breath spread on his ears, and Chen Runsong felt as if half of his face was burning. He quickly shook his head and stopped moving.

    When they got to the car, Chen Runsong calmed down and thought to himself that he was so worthless. Why would he explode if someone just came closer? It was probably because he hadn’t been in love for too long and he really couldn’t stand himself.

    “Where to go?” Jiang Xianfan asked sideways.

    Chen Runsong entered an address in the navigation, and Jiang Xianfan was a little surprised. It was Fluffy Baking.

    “Go or not, don’t pull me down.” Chen Runsong looked a little impatient at his expression.

    Jiang Xianfan didn’t say anything, started the car and hit the road. He just wanted to see Chen Runsong. It was the same wherever he went.

    When he arrived, he didn’t notice it when he was sitting in the back seat. Now that he was sitting in the passenger seat, he noticed that the little raccoon doll he caught last time was still in his car.

    Fluffy, naive, wearing a small apron.

    Chen Runsong held it in his hand and played with it for a while, then put it back.

    Jiang Xianfan glanced at it several times out of the corner of his eye, wondering if he liked it. However, he didn’t want to give it to him, so he pretended not to see it and continued driving.

    When they arrived at the store, Chen Runsong waited for both of them to go in and then closed the door. Because he didn’t make anything to sell during the holiday, he didn’t want people to think it was still open.

    After the door was closed, it was a little dark inside. Chen Run let go of the small lamp, pulled Jiang Xianfan to sit down, and went to the kitchen.

    There is a small coffee machine in the kitchen, which he usually uses himself. At the moment, he is working diligently to produce coffee liquid for its owner.

    Jiang Xianfan then looked at “Fluffy” seriously. It was not very big, but very clean. The display cabinet was empty because of the holidays, but because it made desserts all year round, the store still had a sweet smell.

    Further inside, there was a place labeled “Decoration Room” with a lot of tools neatly placed. He thought it was probably a workshop for making desserts. There was a small kitchen at the end. It was very small. When he walked in, he saw Chen Runsong making coffee for him. The mellow aroma of the coffee slowly enveloped him. He felt very relaxed and could not help but slow down his breathing.

    “Here, it’s not some expensive beans, just drink it.” Chen Runsong made him an American cup, but he drank a latte.

    Chen Runsong took a sip and saw him looking at him eagerly. He wanted to laugh a little and asked him: “Don’t you like bitter things?”

    “I just don’t like things that are too sweet, and I don’t like things that are bitter,” Jiang Xianfan corrected, and added, “And the hot American style tastes terrible.

    “Hahahaha” Chen Runsong laughed out loud, “I see those people in the office building serving glasses of American food no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter. I thought big bosses like you can endure any hardship.”

    So the big boss, who is not very hard-working, got a new latte.

    “There’s no point in eating like this. It’s just to kill time anyway. How about I teach you how to bake a cup cake? It’s not difficult.”

    Originally, he just wanted to take the young master to avoid the crowd, but there was really no entertainment in the store, and he was afraid that he would be bored, so Chen Runsong simply suggested to find something to do.

    “Okay.”Jiang Xianfan thinks it doesn’t matter. It’s very comfortable to sit here. He doesn’t have to think about anything. It’s very comfortable. However, Chen Runsong is willing to teach him how to make cakes, which he also likes.

    So the two started a cake workshop again. Jiang Xianfan was a quick learner, while Chen Runsong hardly did anything. He just gave a little guidance and he was able to complete the cake very well.

    “You are very good. The batter you mixed did not fade and was very delicate.”

    “The understanding is quite high.”Chen Runsong put the cake into the oven and turned around to clean the tools with him.

    “I think it’s very simple.”Jiang Xianfan said calmly, rolling up his shirt sleeves and moving his slender fingers neatly in the pool. These little things are indeed very simple for him. As long as there are standards, it is not difficult for him. He just needs to follow the process. This is what he has always done.

    “Well, I can make it for other people to eat in the future, my fiancée or something.”Chen Runsong put all the washed tools away and pretended to say casually.

    Yes, a successful insinuation, Chen Runsong praised himself in his heart.

    When Jiang Xianfan heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, “If there is one in the future.”

    At this time, Chen Runsong paused and asked him, “The girl in your car last time was not your fiancée?””

    Jiang Xianfan raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and was very surprised, “That’s my client. My mother and her parents just know each other. Some people in the company have misunderstood and have already explained it, but…how do you know…”

    “Haha…” Chen Runsong smiled awkwardly. How did he know? It was just gossip. Who knew that your employees would dare to spread rumors about the boss? However, he did not continue talking and just walked around to the oven and pretended to look at the cake.

    Jiang Xianfan didn’t ask any more questions, and the two of them just drank the rest of the coffee and were very quiet for a while.

    “Chen Runsong”

    “Huh?”

    In this silence, Jiang Xianfan suddenly spoke.

    “Why don’t you come to my company to deliver cakes.”

    “Very busy.”

    Chen Runsong sighed and slowly put down the coffee cup.

    “But they all said the cakes you made were delicious.Jiang Xianfan suddenly looked at him, “I think it’s delicious too.””

    “Come and deliver it.”He said again.

    Chen Runsong couldn’t react, so he looked at him, trying to see something in his eyes.

    Isn’t it troublesome? Why does it taste delicious?

    The two just looked at each other for a while, and silence fell again. Only the clock on the wall was ticking.

    “Ding-”

    The beep of the oven broke the silence. Chen Runsong quickly looked away and stood up to get the cake.

    After the cakes had cooled down a bit, the two of them shared a few, and Jiang Xianfan packed away the rest.

    He thought that this would be the end of the day, but Jiang Xianfan asked him to continue delivering cakes. He didn’t know what he meant. Maybe he just thought it was delicious, but at least he wasn’t cheating on his gay marriage. In his heart, his image was restored a little.

    But when Jiang Xianfan was leaving, he suddenly stopped at the doorstep, carrying a small cake, and looked up at him:

    “Can I still come to see you, Chen Runsong?”

    “I still want to come to you.”

    Chen Runsong is really going to explode now. This is so wrong. What does this person mean? Why does he talk so flirtatiously? It’s so weird.

    He really couldn’t figure it out, so he thought about it over and over again in the next few days, so much so that his expression turned so bad that even Qi Zhixuan noticed it through his mobile phone.

    Note
