Chapter 67



~Brought to you by Cafe No. 20~

February 14, 3021, today is Valentine’s Day. The New Year will come in two days. Most of the students and office workers had already taken a holiday. Linghua’an closed the shop a few days earlier this year and planned to tidy up the house to welcome another host.

It has been more than a month since he came back from his trip. Because there were a series of several robberies one after another month, Jiang Chengyan has been busy. His plan to move has been postponed until the case is completed, which is only on the agenda.

“Hua’an, today is Valentine’s day. Let’s go out for a walk.”

After working hard for more than a month, Jiang Chengyan finally finished the case before Valentine’s day. He planned to spend this beautiful and meaningful holiday with Ling Hua’an.

“Does Captain Jiang want to have a date with me?” Ling Hua’an put down the brush in his hand and looked up at Jiang Chengyan, who had dropped him at his house early in the morning.

Jiang Chengyan’s face became hot, and he said honestly, “Yes, I haven’t been with you for more than a month, don’t you want to?”

Ling Hua’an stretched out his arm and looked at Jiang Chengyan with a smile. Although Jiang Chengyan was embarrassed, he did not hesitate and got into Ling Hua’an’s arms. Ling Hua’an tightened his arms in satisfaction. He smiled and said, “How could I not want it? But besides the date, I crave Captain Jiang’s body even more.”

Ling Hua’an’s bluntness made Jiang Chengyan’s face turn red. His body temperature soared instantly, and his whole body froze in Ling Hua’an’s arms.

Aware of Jiang Chengyan’s reaction, Ling Hua’an chuckled and said, “Captain Jiang, are you wearing a vest inside your shirt today?”

Jiang Chengyan’s breathing was chaotic, and he replied in a low voice, “No…no. ”

Ling Hua’an replied in happiness, “Captain Jiang, I really love your honesty.”

Ling Hua’an gently cupped Jiang Chengyan’s chin and kissed him tenderly.

The lingering kiss aroused their desire. Jiang Chengyan gasped, “Hua’an, I… let’s not here. Should we go to the bedroom?”

Ling Hua’an was stunned and asked, “has Captain Jiang cleaned up before coming?”

Jiang Chengyan responded in embarrassment, the voice was so small that only Ling Hua’an could hear it.

“Captain Jiang, how can you be so cute!” Ling Hua’an didn’t plan to ask him just now, but Jiang Chengyan had already done so. He has no reason not to continue. Especially when his beloved takes the initiative, he believes there are not a few people who can stand it.

“Hua’an, go… go to the bedroom.”

“Captain Jiang is so cute, I can’t wait. ”

“Hua’an, you…”

“Jiang Chengyan, I love you! ”

“I…love you too…”

Jiang Chengyan looked at the messy study room because of them. His face was red, and he said, “I said go to the bedroom. Look how messy it is now.”

Ling Hua’an wrapped his arm around Jiang Chengyan’s waist and said with satisfaction, “It’s rare for Captain Jiang to take the initiative, so how could I resist? Also, we haven’t done it since that time. It’s  more than a month.”

“Hua’an, I’m sorry. I’m always so busy. I don’t have time for you.” Jiang Chengyan felt a little guilty.

“Does Captain Jiang want me to change boyfriend?”

Jiang Chengyan hugged Ling Hua’an tightly and said fiercely, “No! Don’t even think about it!”

“I can’t even think about it. Captain Jiang is too overbearing. “A smile appeared in Ling Hua’an’s eyes.

“It’s overbearing then, can’t I?” Although Jiang Chengyan’s mouth was fierce, his eyes were cautious.

“It’s not impossible, but Captain Jiang has to promise me a condition.” The smile in Ling Hua’an’s eyes deepened.

“What conditions? Tell me.” Jiang Chengyan knew that Ling Hua’an was trying to trick him but couldn’t resist his will.

“Captain Jiang will move over today, I didn’t feel it before, but now I always feel that the house is a bit cold because there is one less master.”

The corners of Jiang Chengyan’s mouth rose, unable to hold back, and said, “I’ll consider it.”

“Oh, I think I’ll call Furniture City and ask them to send the bed later. In case Captain Jiang doesn’t plan to move over, at least it can be refunded without wasting money.” The smile in Ling Hua’an’s eyes was even stronger.

Jiang Chengyan grabbed Ling Hua’an’s phone, put it aside, and said, “Your phone is out of battery.”

“Then charge it.”

“There is no signal at home. ”

“Then go out to call. ”

“Ling Hua’an, don’t call! ”

“Why? ”

Jiang Chengyan, who was still aggressive just now, whispered, “I’m going to pack my luggage now.”

Ling Hua’an chuckled and said, “Let’s pack up tomorrow. Today is Valentine’s day. We’re going out on a date, just in time to get some stuff.

Jiang Chengyan’s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, “Then where do we go on a date?”

“Isn’t it common for men and women to go on dates to go shopping, eat, and watch movies? How about we try that?”

Ling Hua’an was blind and usually went to the supermarket downstairs at most and rarely went out. Although Jiang Chengyan is not blind, he is busy at work. He is usually either investigating a case or on the way to investigating a case. It is not easy to even get a good night’s sleep, so he doesn’t have time to go out to relax.

“Okay, but your eyes, does it really matter to watch movies?” As long as Ling Hua’an is with him, Jiang Chengyan has no problem wherever he goes.

“I can’t watch, but I can listen. Watching movies actually is second, mainly to accompany you.”

“En, let’s go then.” The corners of Jiang Chengyan’s mouth lifted again and again. His heart felt sweet.

“Wait.” Ling Hua’an tapped Jiang Chengyan’s chest, right in the middle his chest, and said in a domineering tone, “Go put on your vest.”

Jiang Chengyan’s body stiffened, and he blushed and said, “I didn’t bring it.”

“I bought it, in the bedroom, go put it on.”

Ling Hua’an’s possessiveness is not offensive but makes Jiang Chengyan indescribably happy. He responded softly, looked at Ling Hua’an, and said, “Then you have to wear it too.”

“Okay, let’s do it together.”

The two changed their clothes before they went out. Jiang Chengyan drove Ling Hua’an to Huacheng Mall. This is the most prosperous place in Huacheng where many people come, especially on Valentine’s day. On the side of the road, you can see flower sellers every few meters, and almost every couple on the street has a bouquet in their hands.

“Handsome boy, do you want to buy flowers? Today’s Valentine’s day, it’s just right to give your girlfriend roses. I also have chocolate here, carefully packaged. It’s a good gift for your boyfriend.”

The voice of the girl promoting business came from his ears. Ling Hua’an walked over to the voice and asked, “Is there any chocolate?”

Looking at the handsome Ling Hua’an, the girl was dazed for a while, completely ignoring Jiang Chengyan next to him. She blushed a little and said, “Yes, handsome, do you want to buy it?”

Ling Hua’an smiled and said, “en, how much do you sell it for?”

“Handsome guy, this chocolate was given to a boyfriend by a girlfriend. If you want to buy it, you should buy roses. A bouquet of nine at 99 yuan represents longevity.”

“I want chocolate. How much do you sell it for?”

Only then did the girl notice Jiang Chengyan beside Ling Hua’an, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes, “oh, it’s 99 a box, it represents longevity too.”

“Okay, then give me a box.”

The girl handed the packaged chocolate to Ling Hua’an. After that, he scanned the code to pay, turned around, and handed the chocolate to Jiang Chengyan, saying, “Captain Jiang, happy Valentine’s Day.”

Jiang Chengyan’s face flushed, and he looked uncomfortably at the girl next to him. Although he was a little embarrassed, he happily took the chocolate and said, “thank you.”

Seeing that Jiang Chengyan did not make the next move, Ling Hua’an said helplessly, “Captain Jiang, are you forgetting something?”

“What? “Jiang Chengyan looked confused.

Ling Hua’an only found it funny for a while and said, “Where’s my chocolate?”

“Oh oh oh. “Jiang Chengyan said hurriedly,  “please give me a box of chocolate.”

The girl looked at the two of them and suddenly felt like she was bursting at the seams. She took a box of chocolates out of the basket and said sincerely, “I wish you happiness.”

“Thank you. “Jiang Chengyan paid, put the chocolate in Ling Hua’an’s hand, and said, “Hua’an, happy Valentine’s Day.”

Ling Hua’an took the chocolate and said, “Captain Jiang, your emotional intelligence really needs to be improved.”

“This is the first time I’ve been in love.” Jiang Chengyan’s tone was aggrieved, and he could hear the coquettish.

Ling Hua’an was helpless for a while and said, “Isn’t it my first time too?”

When he heard the words, Jiang Chengyan’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “So, Am I also your first love?”

“Do you think?”

“Hey, that chocolate packaging is so exquisite. Let’s go eat.”  Jiang Chengyan was so happy that he couldn’t keep his mouth shut. His speech also was a bit incoherent.

The girl on the side suddenly interrupted and said, “I don’t have to eat for a day because of the dog food1 you two gave” Jiang Chengyan’s face instantly reddened. He smiled shyly and pulled Ling Hua’an towards the gate of the mall.

“It’s cute when a handsome guy blushes!  Oh, I love it, I love it!”

The girl’s excited voice could still be heard from afar, and Jiang Chengyan became even more uncomfortable.

Ling Hua’an squeezed Jiang Chengyan’s palm, and with a smile on his face, he said, “Oh, Captain Jiang is really likable.”

“So you have to hold me tight. One day I may be abducted by someone else.”

Ling Hua’an paused his steps, then approached Jiang Chengyan, “is Captain Jiang hinting that I should work harder at night?”

Jiang Chengyan had a moment of confusion before blushing and pushed Ling Hua’an away and whispered, “Rascal, don’t misinterpret what I mean.”

Jiang Chengyan took two steps forward, and within three seconds, he walked back again, took Ling Hua’an’s hand, and said, “Today is valentine’s day so I won’t argue with you.”

Ling Hua’an couldn’t hold back his laughter and said, “Thank you for your generosity, Captain Jiang.”

Jiang Chengyan thought for a while and then made a sound with joy. He approached Ling Hua’an and said, “There’s no case. I don’t have to work until the new year, so …… have plenty of time and energy.”

Ling Hua’an was happy, “Captain Jiang, how can you be so cute!”

The two of them strolled aimlessly in the mall, each picking out two sets of clothes, and were about to go to dinner when someone suddenly stopped them.

“Chengyan, what a coincidence, you are also shopping.”

From the sound of the voice, it was a young woman.

Then there was another child’s voice sounded, “Chengyan gege, Chengyan gege…”

Jiang Chengyan didn’t answer, and he pulled Ling Hua’an to leave.

“Chengyan, don’t go yet. I have something to say to you.” The woman followed, once again blocking the path of the two.

“There is nothing to say between us. “Jiang Chengyan’s tone was impatient.

“Chengyan gege, are you angry with Qingqing? ”The girl’s tone was aggrieved and cautious.

“Chengyan, you haven’t been home for a long time. Although your dad didn’t say anything, I can tell he misses you very much. So come home and visit if you are free.”

“Done?” Jiang Chengyan pulled Ling Hua’an forward again.

“Chengyan, come home and have a new year’s eve dinner with us.”

Jiang Chengyan kept walking. Ling Hua’an didn’t speak either but just walked quietly with him. Until he slowed down, Ling Hua’an said to comfort him, “It’s okay, go if you want, don’t go if you don’t want to. There is no need to make things difficult for yourself. You still have me.”

Jiang Chengyan took a deep breath, intertwined his fingers with Ling Hua’an, and said, “Okay.”
