Sang Yi woke up with only a pain in his head.

He lay on his bed for a moment when there was a knock on the door.

Hodchner's voice rang out, "Sanyi, I'm in." ”

Sang got up in a dejected manner and said, "Please come in, sir." ”

Hodgner asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"I must have worked hard for you last night, sir." Sang Yi rubbed his head and said, "I have a terrible headache right now. ”

Hodgner said, "Shall I give you a head press?" ”

"No, no, no." Sang Yi hurriedly waved his hand, he was embarrassed to let Hodchner give him a massage.

"Don't drink next time," Hodgner said. ”

Sang looked up at Hodchner, who hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did I do anything...... Something weird? ”

The young man was soft and warm, and his breath filled his nose once again with aroma and wine.

Hodgner replied calmly, "No, but try not to drink next time, it's not good for your health." ”

Sang Yi touched his ear, "I see." ”

"I warmed the milk, and it got cold for a while," Hodgner said. ”

"Thank you, sir—"

Sang Yi looked at the closed door in wonder, did he do something bad last night? Otherwise, why does Hodchner seem weird this morning?

Sang Yi couldn't figure it out.

He struggled to remember what had happened after the previous night's drinking, and when he got into the car, he couldn't remember the rest of the story anyway.

He seems to ...... Didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Could it be that he didn't remember what he did?

Sang Yi glanced down at his crumpled clothes and took them off with a frown.

Hodgner, who was supposed to leave, pushed the door open again and said, "It's time for breakfast, and the omelette will be cold in a moment—"

The young man's fair skin was exposed to Hodchner's eyes, and he slammed the door shut.

Sangyi: "......"

He put his clothes on, then pushed the door open and went out.

Hodgner sat at the dining table, his expression indifferent, "I'm going out in a moment, how about you?" ”

"I'll wait for you at home." Sang Yi said, "I have a headache, I don't go out." ”

Hodgner shook his hand and nodded, "Then you wait for me at home, I won't be out for long." ”

"Sir." Sang Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did I really not do anything strange last night?" ”

"Huh?" Hodgner looked at Sony's expression and asked, "Don't you remember?" ”

Sang Yi thought to himself, "Did I really do anything terrible?" ”

"Nope." "You're just getting drunk and pulling me away." ”

Sang Yi was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, his head buried in the plate.

It took Hodgner a moment before he heard Sany's muffled voice, "Sorry sir, I don't know...... I will try to find a house as soon as possible. ”

Hodgner's hand holding the knife and fork was lowered, and he said, "Sanyi, look up." ”

Sang Yi looked up for some reason.

Hodgner's expression was extraordinarily serious, and San had never seen Hodgner so serious.

He said, "Don't say anything like that again. ”

Sang Yi was inexplicably a little nervous, like when he first read and saw the serious teacher on the podium, no, now he looks more like a strict patriarch, he doesn't even dare to come out.

As if seeing that Sang Yi was frightened by himself, Hodgner's expression softened a little and continued, "Didn't you say okay, wait until this matter is over?" ”

Sang Yi nodded subconsciously.

"I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to kill you," Hodchner said. ”

Sang Yi nodded again, he quickly finished the omelette on his plate, and then asked cautiously, "Well, the rent ......?"

Hodchner raised his eyes faintly, and Sang was immediately silenced.

"Sang Yi, I don't want you to live here always thinking about when to leave and how much rent to pay me, I hope you don't have any worries when you live, okay?"

It's the mature, steady and reasonable Hodchner again, and Son breathes a sigh of relief, it's still this Hodchner that makes him feel a lot more relaxed.

He said, "I don't want to, but I always feel like I owe you too much." ”

"You took me in when I was most helpless, and I had to cook like that, and I had to cook......"

Sami was embarrassed to say that he felt as if he was being raised by Hodchner.

"I'm going to cook by myself." Hodgner lowered his head, eating slowly and gracefully, "So you don't need to think about it." ”

Sang touched his ear, and he looked at Hodchner, "But I don't know how to repay you." ”

Hodchner said lightly, "You don't need to think about that now. ”

Samyi: "Oh. ”

"Drink the milk."

"Oh."

Hodgner watched as Sang finished his milk before saying, "Don't open the door to strangers when you're home alone." ”

Sang Yi nodded repeatedly, "I know, sir, I'm not stupid, I won't open the door to anyone but you." ”

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Hodgner's mouth, and he touched Sang's head, "Very good." ”

Sangyi: "......"

How can it be like touching a kitten?

But.

Sang Yi whispered, "Sir, you've been laughing a little too much these two days. ”

Hodgner withdrew his hand and looked at Sang for a moment before saying, "You didn't bring a lot of things when you came earlier, when are you going to collect them?" ”

"Those ......"

Sang Yi wanted to say that those things were not important, and he wouldn't need them in the future anyway, but looking at Hodchner's expression, he subconsciously said, "Well, it's just when you rest next time." ”

"Yes," Hodgner said. ”

He went to clean up the table, and Sang Yi followed.

"Sir, you're going out, I'll brush the plates."

"Can you?" Hodgner asked.

"Yes, yes, yes! Learning not to cook is just brushing a plate, it's very simple. ”

Sang Yi, who said that it was easy to brush plates, fell into deep thought over the plate fragments on the ground.

This plate...... How did you end up on the ground? It seems that he fell when he put the plate down.

He crouched down to pick up the fragments of the plate, and a slight tingling pain came, and Sang Yi frowned slightly.

He looked at the bleeding wound and took it into his mouth and sucked it.

It doesn't seem like he can do anything, and Sang Yi is a little frustrated.

Maybe everyone has their own things to do, and Sang Yi comforted himself that I was just not good at housework.

He found a band-aid and put it on, then put the other pieces away and put them away, relieved to make sure they wouldn't get scratched when the others touched them.

At least, it's okay to do this kind of thing.

"Is Mr. Aaron at home?" There was a knock on the door and the sound of a man talking, "There's your letter." ”

As soon as Sang's hand was on the doorknob, he suddenly remembered Hodchner's words, and his hand silently retracted and sent a message to Hodgner.

- There's a knock on the door outside, saying there's your letter.

Soon, there was a message back.

- There is a letter, but you don't have to worry about it, he will put it in the mailbox.

When someone outside knocked on the door and saw that no one was opening it, they stuffed the letter into the mailbox and left.

Sang blinked and messaged Hodchner.

- He's gone, do you need me to help you get the letter?

Hodgner's phone called, and the voice that came through the electric current was a little hoarse, "He's gone?" ”

"Gone." Sang Yi looked at it again.

"Take it in, don't hang up."

Sang Yi curled the corners of his lips, "Sir, do you treat me like a child?" ”

"Of course not, just try to keep you safe." Hodchner said.

Sang Yi can take out the letter from the mailbox, and he was surprised to find that there was another letter inside, which read: Sang Yi received.

"Did you get it?"

"I got it, but there's one that is mine." Sani closed the door.

Hodchner's voice was a little deep, "Got one for you?" ”

"Hmm." Sang Yi opened the letter, he was a little strange, "But I live in the matter of you, sir, no one-"

Sangyi's voice stopped abruptly.

On the unfolded letter, it was written in an extraordinarily beautiful font.

“Imwatgyou.”

"Sir."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Hodchner said.

Sang Yi whispered, "I'm not afraid of sir, you don't have to worry, don't worry about me." ”

At this time, he actually felt that after his heartbeat was extremely fast when he saw this sentence, he was really not very afraid when he calmed down.

Maybe feel that there are people who can be trusted, people who can help him.

He sat on the couch and waited quietly for Hodgner to return.

Hodgner came back quickly.

The first thing he did when he came in was to look Sang Yi up and down, and finally his eyes fell on Sang Yi's fingers.

"What's going on?" He sat down next to Sanyi, then shook Sanyi's hand and asked.

"I accidentally touched this." Sang Yi was a little weak-hearted, "Sir, I broke the plate. ”

Hodchner sighed lightly, "The plate is not important, if you are not good at it, it doesn't matter if I put it there and I will come back and wash it." ”

Hodchner was so gentle, and Sony's voice became softer, "Sir, am I clumsy, just brushing two plates. ”

"You're amazing." "You're just not good at housework, you can play with guns, you can write, you can draw, you can mix, you can mix alcohol, you know a lot of things, so you're not stupid." ”

The frustrated cat looked up at Hodchner.

Hodgner glanced at Sang's wound and asked, "

Is it sterilized? ”

Sang Yi shook his head, "It shouldn't matter much." ”

Hodchner got up and took the medical kit and sat back, "Give me your hand." ”

Sang Yi obediently raised his hand, and he said, "Sir, can you find someone from the handwriting of that letter?" ”

Hodchner glanced at the letter on the table, frowned, and said, "Don't look for it, this is what the officer sent me." ”

Sang Yi was stunned, "It's him again......"

"Someone has been sending you messages unremittingly, but I have been deleted and blocked by me, and now I can only send letters to scare you."

Sang Yi opened his mouth for a long time before he said, "What then?" ”

"Hmm." Hodchner detoxified Sanyi's wound and reattached it, "Do you want to know?" ”

Sangyi: "...... Then I don't know? ”

"Where's the broken plate?"

"What's wrong?" Sang Yi pointed to the broken plate that was wrapped like a beautiful gift, "This, transparent, you can see at a glance that it is broken, and it will not hurt others." ”

Hodgner: "...... Very good, very well done. ”

Sang Yi, who had received the compliment, was happy again, and said, "Sir, although one plate was broken today, the other plate was cleanly washed. ”

It's like a kitten inviting merit.

"It's great," Hodgner said. ”

Complimented again.

The cat's eyes are full of sparkling light.

Hodgner smiled unconsciously, and he said, "Sang, you're like a kitten." ”

Sang Yi's eyes widened, and he subconsciously touched his ears.

At first, be wary of strangers when you pick it up, but if you are good to it, you will try to rub people, and gradually trust and get closer, and it will become more and more intimate later.

When you are complimented, you will meow happily, and when you are unhappy, you will be depressed and even your ears will droop.

Hodchner, who accidentally said what was in his heart, looked calm, "Do you remember that editor?" ”

Sang Yi nodded, he had little contact with the editor, but he didn't hand over the manuscript, and the editor didn't even come to urge him.

"What do you think of the editor?"

"I don't know." Sang Yi recalls that he found his impression of the editor very shallow, "I don't even remember what he looked like. ”

"Was he eager to persuade you to go to the book signing?"

"Yes." Sang Yi replied, "It's the first time he's called me so much. ”

Hodgner nodded, "I see." ”

"Sir, does he have a problem too?"

"I think it's about the same." Hodgner rubbed the cat's head, "Don't worry too much. ”

Sang Yi snorted, he tilted his head, "Did Mr. treat me like a cat?" ”

Hodgner: "......"

He silently withdrew his hand and said, "No." ”

"Did the gentleman treat me like a cat when he said I was good in the morning?"

"Nope."

Sami didn't believe it, he thought Hodchner was just raising him like a kitten.

Slightly, it will be a little distressing.

"Not really." Hodgner reexplained, "I just think you're a little bit like a cat, but I don't think of you as a cat." ”

Sang: "Really? ”

"Hmm." Hodchner said, "I didn't think of you like a cat. ”

Sang Yi didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything more,

Hodchner was a little happy in his heart, and he felt that Sang's attitude towards him was becoming more and more natural, like a cat that could open its belly in front of him.

Of course, he didn't think of Sang Yi as a cat.

……

Hodchner was busy again.

It is said that he took over a sexual assault case.

Sang Yi was alone for longer.

He turned on his computer to read the rental news, and although Hodgner said not to mention it, Hodgner also said that the matter should be over soon.

When the time comes, he doesn't want to stay in the city anymore, maybe he will go to a smaller city for a while.

Or, just leave this world?

But after this matter is over, he should be able to really take a vacation, so it is better to find a place to rest for a while.

Unaware of the change in his mind, Sang Yi scanned the news on the Internet.

It was late at night when Hodgner returned, and he tore off his tie a little tiredly and went into Sang's room to take a look.

The lights were still on, but Sang was asleep, sleeping in a strange position, his notebook tossed aside.

Hodgner took the computer away, and before he knew which key he touched, it lit up, and Hodchner easily saw the message on the screen.

His face was a little silent and cold in the light of the computer, and he closed the computer, adjusted his posture for Sangyi, and covered the quilt.

The sleeping young man muttered, "Sir, are you back?" ”

Hodchner sat down next to Sang, and he began to recall when he had started calling him sir.

At first, San called Officer Aaron, then Officer Hodchner, then Mr. Hodchner, and finally Mr. Hodchner.

The young man's voice was soft and beautiful, and he seemed particularly gentle and affectionate whenever he called Mr., as if he were calling his closest husband.

But Hodgner was well aware that Sangh was just calling him that out of respect, and nothing else.

Hodgner tried to read something out of Say's attitude.

As long as San didn't think like that, Hodchner wouldn't have stepped out of the minepool.

Hodchner thought so.

However, he saw that after the young man was reading the information, the mature and steady man sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Sang Yi's face by the moonlight.

Inch by inch, I don't know what I'm looking at.

Yes, he had already included Sang in his protection by the time he decided to help him.

But that's not all.

As if sensing the disturbing gaze, Sang Yi finally opened his eyes, and there was still a sleepiness in his eyes that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.

He looked at Hodchner for a while before he came to his senses.

"Sir, are you back?" Sang Yi sat up and repeated the sentence he had asked in his sleep.

Hodgner snorted.

"I wanted to wait for you, but I'm sorry, I seem too sleepy." Sang Yi touched his ears, a little embarrassed.

"Well, don't wait for me, just sleep when you're sleepy." Hodchner's expression was unrecognizable.

"Sir." Sang Yi asked, "I've been back late these days, is the case tricky?" ”

"It's almost." Hodgner said, "Is it boring to be alone at home? ”

"It's fine." Sang Yi laughed, "Because I've always been alone before, I'm used to this kind of life. ”

Hodchner couldn't express his feelings, and he heard Sang say, "It's okay to be alone, but it's better if Mr. is there, and it's perfect to have him here." ”

Hodgner's apple slid as he forced himself not to think about it, restraining his gaze from Say's smiling face.

He replied in a voice that couldn't hear emotion, "When this is over, I can accompany you to do some of the things you want if you want." ”

Sang Yi seemed to come to his senses, and he said, "Thank you, sir, but ......"

"Woke you up." Hodgner pressed Sang back to bed in time, "Go to sleep, do you need to listen to bedtime stories?" ”

Sangyi: "...... I'm not a kid anymore, sir. ”

Hodgner smiled faintly, "Good night, then." ”

"Good night~" Sang Yi said.

The door was reopened.

Sang Yi glanced at the notebook on the table, a little confused, and soon his eyes widened again.

Will...... Hodgner saw it?

Probably not, Sang Yi thought again, if he saw him, he would definitely say.

He just looked at it casually.

……

Sang got up early.

Hodchner hadn't gone out when he got up.

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning, Sang." Hodgner pulled the milk sandwich out of the fridge, "I'll heat it up for you, and then I'm leaving." ”

"Thank you, sir." Sang Yi probe, "I got up specifically to send my husband to work." ”

"Where?" Hodgner asked.

Sangyi: "...... Doorway. ”

Hodchner laughed and pinched the tip of Sangyi's nose, and soon he realized that his movements might be too intimate for Sang.

But Sang didn't think much of it, he rubbed his nose and said, "Sir, it's going to be ugly." ”

"No, it won't." Hodgner said, "You're good-looking. ”

The young man who was praised was not as happy as usual, he rubbed his face, "Oh, thank you, sir. ”

Hodgner went out with his bag in his hand, and he turned back and said, "I'll be back early tonight, see you in the evening, Sang." ”

"I'll see you in the evening, sir." Sang Yi waved his hand.

Of course, at that time, Sang didn't expect that his evening meeting with Hodchner would be in the hospital.

When he received Morgan's call, Sang had just finished taking a shower.

He wiped his hair and saw a message from an unfamiliar number.

— I had a lot of fun today.

Sang Yi blocked the number with a blank face and received a call from Morgan.

Morgan tells him that Hodgner was in a car accident.

"It was a car accident on the way home." The doctor recorded, "Fortunately, it was not life-threatening, but the accident on that section of the road was incomprehensible, and he was not a very impulsive person......

Sang Yi listened to the doctor's words, and there were only a few words in his mind, it must be them.

They must have done something to Hodchner. ：，，.
