43.Chapter 43

When Bai Jing introduced Li Ran, Xiao Chengjun re-examined Li Ran in front of him, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that he could settle the matter with a phone call, and he had a relationship with people for a long time, and he was still a big customer of the hotel.

Xiao Chengjun still thought about it, no wonder Li Ran showed a calm and calm mature male temperament in his gestures, presumably in his work, he must have been in contact with too many dignitaries of all shapes and โ–กโ–ก, and his exquisite and cautious words and deeds made him subtle and deep-rooted, so that there was no more casualness and slackness, even if the current Li Ran was relaxed enough, but compared to Bai Jing, he was still a little restrained.

In Xiao Chengjun's impression, he clearly remembers that in his senior year, a government unit in Beijing had visited his school to recruit graphic design specialists for many art colleges, and received a notice from the academy that Xiao Chengjun signed up and participated in the interview at that time, and in the process, the person in charge of the employer asked him a lot of questions, such as what is the situation at home? Is it an only child? Do you have a certificate in design? Have you ever won a prize in a national competition? Have you received a full scholarship on campus? Whether there is a Beijing hukou and so on.

At that time, there were about four or five persons in charge of the employer, and when Xiao Chengjun answered the question, they would watch Xiao Chengjun's words and deeds without squinting.

Of course, after the interview, all college students who apply for the job will have to take a written test one month later, and the content of the exam is the same as that of the civil service exam. At that time, there were countless college students who applied for the position, in the face of such a good job, not to mention a stable income, but also to solve the problem of Beijing's hukou, maybe in the future after working for a year and a half can also be divided into an acre and three points of land called "welfare housing", Beijing's housing prices are well known, it can really be described as an inch of land, so who is not sharpened their heads and squeezed in? Even if he misses it in the end, at least he has tried hard, and he doesn't have to taste the bitter medicine of "regret" in the future.

But then again, Xiao Chengjun was really hard at the time, but it was only a month-long grinding gun, although the blade was bright, but how could he beat those stubborn scholars who had been gnawing books for several years, so there is no doubt that in this battle of wisdom, Xiao Chengjun was killed in various ways......

Seeing that Xiao Chengjun was thoughtful, Bai Jing tapped his fingers on the table twice, and suddenly dragged Xiao Chengjun's thoughts back. "What do you want?"

Xiao Chengjun, who came back to his senses, unconsciously leaned forward, and traced the source with a curious face: "This kind of work shouldn't be easy to test." โ€

"It's okay, the exam I took when I was discharged from the army was easier than the civil service exam in society." Whether it is the tone of speech or the expression on his face, it all reflects Li Ran's mature masculinity and unreserved humility.

Without waiting for Xiao Chengjun to move, Bai Jing glanced at Li Ran, and slapped Li Ran with his elbow, and then said: "You listen to what he said, how can it be so simple, he began to prepare when he was a second-level non-commissioned officer, every night at half past 9 o'clock to blow out the lights, everyone else went to bed Zhou Gong went, but he was holding a flashlight to gnaw on a book in the bed, I am not praising him, Li Ran, this kid is really able to endure hardships, maybe this is the tenacity that rural people are born with in their bones." โ€

"Li Ran is from the countryside?" Xiao Chengjun didn't mean to be disdainful when he asked this, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't detect a trace of the unpretentious clothes that rural people should have from Li Ran's body.

It is normal for Xiao Chengjun to have this reaction, Li Ran is wearing a light blue casual shirt today, with a beige Korean version of the casual suit with no lock edges.

Bai Jing lifted his chin slightly, with a proud look of "thanks to me", and said: "That's right, it's not like it, haha, this is all my โ–กโ–ก, I just saw how rustic he was when he was at that time, just like a gazi, his face was sallow, not to mention, he was still thin like a chai chicken, you see him like he is now, I have spent a lot of effort." โ€

Li Ran watched Bai Jing from the side and was silent, and the comfort and gentleness in his eyes were catalyzed by the light, allowing people to perceive the meaning of love and pity at a glance. To say that these two people are really complementary, Li Ran has a stable job, Bai Jing is doing a live broadcast with a flexible income, Li Ran's personality is stable and rational, while Bai Jing, on the contrary, is relatively emotional and direct, such a relationship is extremely neutral in a certain way, just like this gossip, yin and yang are frustrated, complement each other, it can be said that they are a natural and natural pair.

Hearing this explanation, when Xiao Chengjun, the big light bulb, admired it, he couldn't help but want to know more and be curious, he swept the diners around him, and then asked in a low voice: "How did you two meet?" โ€

Li Ran put his chopsticks back on the wooden chopstick rest in front of the table, and said calmly: "We have known each other for more than 2 years, and like you, we also met on 'Lebo'. After speaking, the corners of Li Ran's mouth pulled up a shy smile that was difficult to detect, presumably in terms of feelings, Li Ran is a person who does not like to express himself.

Faced with Li Ran's bewildered and rough answer, Bai Jing couldn't bear it for a while, and hurriedly added: "He is my fan, you see that he is quite reserved now, and I was the one who took the initiative to chat/make a mess at that time......"

"White Scene...... Take a sip of tea. Before Bai Jing could finish his mouth, Li Ran hurriedly filled a cup of hot tea in front of Bai Jing, signaling to block his unobstructed fast talk.

Li Ran's actions really startled Bai Jing, and the heat coming out of the cup made Bai Jing's eyes hazy for a while, and he couldn't even see Xiao Chengjun's smiling face at this moment. Right now, he hurriedly took the hot tea in Li Ran's hand, and then quickly put it aside, fortunately, there was not much tea in the cup, otherwise it would have to be spilled on his hands. "Do you want to do it? Xiaojun is his own person, what is there to avoid, haha. โ€

After speaking, Bai Jing stretched out his hand and swept it on the back of Li Ran's head, his movements were brisk and provocative.

Li Ran turned his back and took off Bai Jing's restless hand at the back of his head, and pressed it back to Bai Jing's leg, "Hey, when I didn't say it, you continue." Then, he took up a helpless smile and looked at Xiao Chengjun in front of him.

The short hand touch left a trace of residual heat in Bai Jing's palm, he subconsciously took a sip of hot tea, and then continued: "Originally, I was thinking about making money through the live broadcast of the 'Lebo' platform, and I didn't think about it, but this back and forth, courtesy, and exchange, the two of us made an appointment to meet in Beijing, when I first met Li Ran, he was still wearing a military uniform, this 2 years have passed, and now no, everyone is mixed into civil servants, and I'm still a tepid anchor, hey." โ€

Xiao Chengjun is a clear-eyed person, he can see that Bai Jing is a strong person, although Li Ran is his intimate boyfriend, they are also men, and it is not Bai Jing's character to be competitive after all.

Xiao Chengjun's eyes wandered back and forth between Bai Jing and Li Ran, and said in his heart that Li Ran is such a good master, Bai Jing, you can be regarded as fishing, don't expect too much. said on his lips: "Okay, be content, you said that you just want to figure out the live broadcast of guรฒ 'Lebo' to make some money, isn't this the goal achieved?" Besides, Li Ran didn't think you earned less, didn't you, Li Ran. After speaking, Xiao Chengjun smiled and raised his eyebrows at Li Ran, as if he had known Li Ran for a long time.

"Yes, yes, as long as you don't cause trouble, you can do anything." As he spoke, guarding Xiao Chengjun, Li Ran was no longer reserved, subconsciously hooked Bai Jing into the crook of his arm, and patted him on the shoulder from time to time to show comfort.

Xiao Chengjun looked at Li Ran and Bai Jing in front of him, but Bai Jing stopped Li Ran's ambiguous move, broke free from Li Ran's arms, and then pushed Li Ran, which happened to poke Li Ran's looming chest muscles. "Hey, I said Li Ran, why did I get into trouble?"

The smile on Li Ran's face was shallow and gentle, and a touch of warmth and indulgence crossed his eyes, "Cheng Chengcheng, let's not cause trouble, let's be obedient, eat, eat." โ€

Seeing that Li Ran didn't care about himself, Bai Jing glanced at Li Ran again, and then regained his peace and said politely to Xiao Chengjun: "Look, just listen to me, Xiaojun, eat something quickly, it's not enough for me to get it." โ€

โ€•โ€•

The process of dining always makes people feel relaxed and pleasant, the collision of spoons, chopsticks and dishes makes the delicacy a meal, after the tea and dinner are full, as they have discussed in advance, they go to the hotel where Xiao Chengjun lives, take out his luggage and put it in the trunk, and kidnap people and things all the way to Bai Jing's house.

Bai Jing and Li Ran's family live in Jinshi Jiayuan (pseudonym) near Sihui East, where the buildings are all 6-storey traditional houses, compared to the surrounding high-rise buildings, it is unique and unique, and the distance between the buildings is relatively spacious, so in this area, the developer has placed evergreen green areas, small fountains and fitness equipment for residents to relax and entertain. This kind of comfortable and leisurely community environment, Xiao Chengjun has a full view, which makes him very envious of Bai Jing, and he said in his heart that if he can live in such a house with wood in Beijing, he will be enough, and he will not expect too much.

Right now, they came to the door of Bai Jing's house, Bai Jing's stomping sound made the voice-activated lights on this floor light up, Li Ran took out a large number of keys from the bag without hurry, and the keys of different sizes collided and rubbed against each other, making a pleasant sound of "ticking bells".

The door was slowly opened, Bai Jing walked into the room first and turned on the light in the entrance, the living room was instantly lit up and shrouded by warm lights, and before he entered the door, Xiao Chengjun felt a burst of warmth from the house, and Bai Jing motioned for Xiao Chengjun to come in. Xiao Chengjun walked into Bai Jing's house curiously.

It's not so much Bai Jing's home as Li Ran's warm residence, why do you say that? Because as soon as he entered the door, Xiao Chengjun saw that the wall on his left hand side was full of mahogany-colored photo frames, and in the frames, there were photos of Li Ran in different periods, some wearing military uniforms and some wearing orthodox suits...... Of course, there are also a few photos taken by him and Bai Jing when they travel to various places from time to time.

This is the house that Li Ran bought with a loan in Beijing, of course, it is the welfare housing allocated to him by the unit, even if the price has preferential policies, but this is Beijing, even if it is cheaper, but compared with the average price of real estate in other second- and third-tier cities, it is also surpassed. They live on the third floor of the west house, the total area is about 90 square meters, two living rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom, not so much two living rooms, to be exact, a living room, but literally look big, the living room and dining room are connected together to form a hall, but such a structure has an advantage, that is, the north and south are transparent, which is conducive to ventilation and lighting.

The traditional Chinese style used in the interior decoration furnishings, located in the center of the living room on the right side of the entrance, is placed with a cost-effective old elm carved Arhat bed, next to the background wall of the bed, hanging four vertical versions of flowers and birds, under the smudge of the lamp of the Chinese-style square ceiling lamp, the living creatures in the painting appear lifelike, wonderful brushwork, of course, the film and television wall located on the opposite side of the background wall also adopts the Chinese hollow carved design style, even if the 55-inch LCD TV hanging in the middle is the most popular style at the moment, But against the backdrop of this kind of film and television wall, it also looks full of ancient charm.

Just seeing this, Xiao Chengjun knew at a glance that this was Li Ran's style and thoughts, with this confidence, Xiao Chengjun changed into the home fabric slippers prepared by Bai Jing in advance, stood up and said casually: "If I guess correctly, this should be Li Ran's home." โ€

"Well, you guessed right, but not all right." Bai Jing walked up to Xiao Chengjun with a smile, took the backpack he took off from behind his back, and placed it on the solid wood dining table not far from him.

Li Ran followed closely and carried Xiao Chengjun's luggage into the house. In fact, this matter should have been Xiao Chengjun's own work, but Li Ran felt that Xiao Chengjun didn't have time to take a break along the way, and he was a soldier, not to mention his strength, as the host, it was within his power and normal to be able to help out.

"How?" Xiao Chengjun's face was full of curiosity of "willing to hear about it".

"The down payment paid by Li Ran for this house, and my income on 'Lebo' is used to repay the monthly loan, and he got my name for this house, hehe." When he said this, Bai Jing's face was full of villain-like complacency, and from time to time he would glance at Li Ran behind Xiao Chengjun.

These words shook Xiao Chengjun like a thunderbolt from the sky, although he was Bai Jing's good friend, but he sweated for Li Ran in his heart, he thought to himself that Li Ran was crazy, he had gone through years to get to this job, is it easy for him to make some money, why gamble all his chips on feelings, didn't he just think too much when he made this decision? What if Bai Jing kicked him on a whim? Didn't he realize that their relationship was not protected by any law, let alone the protection of the division of property after marriage, and his parents knew about it? Will they accept the white scene......

Countless questions are like a fierce tide, constantly washing the unknown coast in Xiao Chengjun's mind, out of control. Xiao Chengjun, who came back to his senses, unconsciously turned his head to meet Li Ran's dark eyes, and sighed: "Li Ran, you are a man!" It's so fat. Xiao Chengjun's concerns were filtered by his brain, and only this sentence was left in front of him, and he said in his heart that this was a matter between the two of them after all, and in a certain way, Xiao Chengjun was an outsider, and it was useless to say more.

Li Ran just pursed his lips and smiled, without the slightest intention of words. But Bai Jing's mind was extremely bright, from Xiao Chengjun's tone, he heard Xiao Chengjun's concerns and the meaning of wanting to cover up, Bai Jing was not angry, walked to Xiao Chengjun's side in three or two steps, and when he took the luggage in Li Ran's hand, he looked at Xiao Chengjun and said: "I know what you are worried about, this house is our common property, I dare not guarantee that we will go all the way to the end, you also know that this road is not in sight, who knows what will happen in the next second, but this is all Li Ran's hard work, I can't be a child's play, and it's impossible to think crookedly, plan for the worst, and in the end we break up, then I can't want this house, Li Ran can do this, I think he gave me a reassuring pill, to show his loyalty to me, but then again, just a house, just this young master set firmly, to say that the most refined here is still this soldier, am I right, fine beans? โ€

In the face of Bai Jing's teasing, Li Ran just shook his head helplessly and smiled, changed into home slippers, Li Ran stood up, and reached out to sweep the short hair on Bai Jing's head, and then read: "Don't be stinky and poor, take Xiaojun to his room to see, see if there is anything missing, I will come back from work at noon tomorrow and buy it by the way." โ€

"Don't bother, I've got all my luggage." Xiao Chengjun didn't want to trouble Li Ran and Bai Jing anymore, he subconsciously wanted to take over his luggage in Bai Jing's hand, but was blocked back by Bai Jing's shoulder.

"Do you know which room you live in? Just grab my luggage with me. After speaking, Bai Jing picked up his luggage and walked quickly towards the room on the right side of the living room, ignoring Xiao Chengjun, who was embarrassed, and Li Ran, who was a little embarrassed.

"He's usually like this, he does his own thing, Xiaojun, your room is over there, our environment is not as good as a hotel, but it's also his own home, and he lives more steadily than a hotel." Li Ran said in a shallow voice.

Xiao Chengjun just wanted to say something, but was struck back by Bai Jing's sudden shout.

"Jun-chan! Well? Why don't you come and see the house I cleaned up for you, it's cleaner. Accompanied by the accompaniment of shouting, Xiao Chengjun could also hear Bai Jing's "heavy bass" slapping his hand on the bed.

"Here we go." Xiao Chengjun made a "I'll go over and take a look" gesture to Li Ran, and then walked through the living room and moved to his room.

Xiao Chengjun lives in a guest room, about 14 square meters of space, the floor here is different from the marble floor tiles in the living room and dining room, this room is covered with ochre-colored solid wood floors, mahogany-colored antique bed head to the west, tail to the east squatting in the middle of the west side of the guest room, about 2 meters ร— 1 meter 6 in size, located on the left side of the big bed, there is a begonia color 5-door oak locker, this locker is customized at a glance, otherwise how can its height just touch the roof. The extremely soft warm light emitted by the Chinese table lamps on both sides of the bed illuminates the whole room very lazy, making people feel the urge to snore on the couch as soon as they enter the room.

Bai Jing sat at the end of the bed, patted the bed with his hand and motioned for Xiao Chengjun to sit down. "How? Better than a hotel, right? โ€

Xiao Chengjun sat aimlessly beside Bai Jing, his eyes silently sweeping over every furnishing in the room.

Bai Jing put his left hand on Xiao Chengjun's shoulder, pointed to the beige sheets and quilt covers on the bed, and continued: "These are all new for you, after I bought them, I also specially washed you with two waters, I don't believe you smell it, and now there is still the smell of laundry detergent on it." โ€

How could Xiao Chengjun really lean down and smell it, as soon as he entered the house, he smelled a faint scent of lavender in the room, presumably the smell of laundry detergent volatilized by the sheets and bedding.

"I'm really bothering you, Bai Jing." Xiao Chengjun's face was full of embarrassment.

Bai Jing patted Xiao Chengjun's shoulder and swore that "where are there so many politeness between friends, besides, you are a celebrity now, in case you become popular and become a big star, I can show my neighbors that 'my friend is a big star', when the time comes, don't turn your face and the monkey will not recognize me Bai Jing, otherwise your buddy will really play with you, haha." โ€

"Where did the big star come from, I haven't skimmed the eight characters in the finals yet, don't get your hopes up too much, if your buddy loses, don't disown your buddy." Xiao Chengjun looked sideways at Bai Jing, and through Bai Jing's side face, he found for the first time that although Bai Jing's eyes were slender, his eyelashes were extremely thick and slender.

Just as Bai Jing and Xiao Chengjun were talking, Li Ran walked into the room and brought two cups of warm water and handed them to Xiao Chengjun and Bai Jing in front of him. "Drink some water, the heating in the house is hot and a little dry."

In the face of Li Ran's thoughtfulness, Xiao Chengjun suddenly felt that Bai Jing's ability to meet Li Ran was a blessing he had cultivated in his previous life. Holding the warm white porcelain cup in his hand, Xiao Chengjun hurriedly moved to the left, making room for Li Ran to sit down. "Quick, sit here."

"Don't sit, it's not early, Xiaojun, you rest early." Li Ran paused, withdrew his gaze from Xiao Chengjun's direction, moved to Bai Jing's position, and continued: "Don't make a mess, Xiaojun is tired all the way, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." After speaking, Li Ran reached out to pull Bai Jing up.

Bai Jing immediately flashed to Xiao Chengjun and hugged Xiao Chengjun with lightning speed, in order to avoid Li Ran's pull, Bai Jing's actions really scared Xiao Chengjun into a smile, and he sat on the edge of the bed and didn't dare to move.

"I'm going to sleep with Xiao Chengjun today, you go back to the house to sleep by yourself, I'll give you a day off today, I won't toss you, get out of here, you have to get up early to go to work tomorrow." Bai Jing's gaze wandered back and forth between Li Ran and Xiao Chengjun, firstly to see how Li Ran would react, and secondly, to find out if Xiao Chengjun was willing to sleep in the same bed with him.

Xiao Chengjun was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, this is not good, it is not good, this makes him can only continue to sit in place, and he does not dare to show the slightest unspeakable secret.

"Good, obedient, you still have three days to talk to Xiaojun, it's not bad tonight, let's go, go back to your room." As he was talking, Li Ran reached out again and shook Bai Jing's arm, and he didn't arbitrarily pull Bai Jing.

Bai Jing hurriedly avoided Li Ran's warm gaze and hugged Xiao Chengjun tighter. "Oops~ You just let me stay with Xiaojun for one night, don't mother-in-law, Xiaojun, you just say something for me, I know you want to live with me, right?"

In the face of Bai Jing's pleading, Xiao Chengjun was powerless, he thought to himself that Li Ran didn't seem to be a stingy person, he shouldn't misunderstand that he had a leg with Bai Jing, the idea flashed, and then Xiao Chengjun said in a shallow voice: "No...... Let him be in this room...... Staying for the night? As he spoke, Xiao Chengjun's face was full of dilemmas.

Seeing this situation, Li Ran didn't want Xiao Chengjun to ride the tiger hard, so he relieved himself and said: "I'm not worried about anything else, Bai Jing, this kid doesn't sleep honestly, and he talks in his dreams from time to time, for fear of delaying your rest." โ€

"I ...... Can't I sleep with my feet tied and a mask on? Bai Jing hurriedly said.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's really not good, when he falls asleep, I'll send someone over to you, haha." Xiao Chengjun was smarter, and his jokes just enlivened the atmosphere at the moment, and by the way, Li Ran was reassured.

Li Ran supported one hand behind his waist, and rubbed the tip of his nose with the other. "Okay, if he's not honest, you can tell me at any time." Li Ran paused, and continued at Bai Jing: "Don't talk too late, besides, you sleep honestly." โ€

"Got it, got it, go to bed." At this moment, Bai Jing's face was full of smugness.

When Li Ran returned to his room, Bai Jing seemed to realize something, said to Xiao Chengjun, "Wait for me", then stood up hastily and left Xiao Chengjun's room temporarily.

Xiao Chengjun didn't know that Bai Jing went to Li Ran to give him a bedtime kiss, Bai Jing's way of expressing his emotions was extremely direct, without the slightest hint of concealment, presumably he also cherished the relationship between himself and Li Ran very much, although he was usually a little willful, but when it came to practice, Bai Jing was not vague at all.

When he came back, Bai Jing saw that Xiao Chengjun had opened his luggage and placed the clothes and daily necessities to be changed on the bedside table.

"I'll go take a shower first, this day is dusty, I'll take a shower quickly, and I'll be back in a while."

Bai Jing said "oh", and Xiao Chengjun picked up his clothes and walked into the bathroom.

Gently lifting the stainless steel wrench, the shower above his head made a "gurgling" sound of bursts of water about to come out, and after a short cooling, warm water sprinkled unscrupulously from the top of Xiao Chengjun's head.

In less than 10 seconds, Xiao Chengjun's hair, face, and body were filled with crystal warmth. Under the bath of the bathroom light, the angular face instantly revealed the soft light of smooth and moist, accompanied by the gradually floating mist, Xiao Chengjun's tall and straight figure loomed, although his figure did not have the majesty and burly of ancient Greek sculptures, but it could also be called evil and sexy, full of skinny......
