Chapter 36 Strange Man

(PS: Don't worry, there is another chapter left)

Xia Yu's kitchen is open like that of the West, so the movements in the foyer suddenly reached Yang Yan's ears. He stopped the movements in his hand and looked over there in surprise.

Could it be Xia Yu? No, isn't she in training? But who else has the key to their house?

The movement in the foyer stopped. After a while, a slightly hesitant male voice came over: "Xiaoxia? I don't know that you are at home, aren't you living outside..."

Soon, Yang Yan saw a man dragging two boxes turn around and appear in front of him.

When the eyes of the two men collided, the air was filled with embarrassment at this moment.

The man dragging two boxes was dressed very seriously. He was wearing a light gray suit, a black sweater with a turtleneck underneath, and his thin-footed silver-framed glasses, which looked like a very traditional successful person. Of course, he also looked a bit old-fashioned...

While Yang Yan was looking at the other party, the other party was also looking at Yang Yan vigilantly. In his eyes, a young man wearing an apron was standing in the kitchen with a kitchen knife. There was obviously a child in the stroller next to him. This posture... I felt that Yang Yan was the owner of this house!

"Who are you?" Yang Yan and the other party started to ask at the same time.

Yang Yan, who knew that he was a guest, quickly replied: "Hello, I am Xia Yu's friend, my name is Yang Yan. During this period, because the child was uncomfortable, he lived in her house. Are you... Xia Yu's relative?"

The man in the suit flashed his eyes, smiled softly, and said, "Oh... So that's the case. I don't know. I just heard Mayor Xia say that Xia Yu went to the province for training."

Mayor Xia? Yang Yan thought he had heard it wrong.

However, soon he stopped worrying about this issue, because the man in the suit said next, as if he threw a deafening bomb at him...

"I will introduce myself. I am Xia Yu's boyfriend. My name is He Jiawei. If you are Xiao Xia's friend, just call me Brother He." The man in the suit said, looking around the house in a hidden look. Seeing that only a room downstairs was on, and the rest of the place was dark. It seemed that Yang Yan's range of movement was only downstairs, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He Jiawei's strangeness, if Xia Yu had been replaced, he would definitely see the clues, but Yang Yan heard his words at this moment and banged his head. Not to mention finding anything, he stood there stupidly, with only a big question left in his mind.

Does Xia Yu have a boyfriend?

How is that possible?

Yang Yan's head was buzzing and he felt a little dizzy.

How could Xia Yu have a boyfriend? Yang Yan has known Xia Yu for more than three months. When she was renting a house, Xia Yu would come to Yang Yan almost every night to check his care for Luo Luo. When moving here, Xia Yu also came here almost every day after get off work until she went to Guizhou.

For such a long time, Xia Yu not only hasn’t said that she has a boyfriend, but no matter how she looks, she doesn’t look like a girl with a boyfriend!

He Jiawei saw the doubt in Yang Yan's eyes. He smiled slightly, did not explain directly, but carefully used the words and said slowly: "I came to Yangcheng today according to Mayor Xia's entrustment. Isn't this the end of the year? Some leaders want to visit."

"Mayor Xia?" Yang Yan finally remembered the question just now, and he asked hesitantly.

"Xiao Xia didn't tell you?" He Jiawei's eyes under the silver-framed glasses narrowed slightly, but there was still a smile on his face and said, "Then I can't say too much. Don't tell Xiao Xia about this. She doesn't like this kind of thing very much. But after all, it's the officialdom, and human relations are always indispensable."

He Jiawei said that he wanted to go up and get a bottle of red wine, and said that it was Xia Yu's father's request, so Yang Yan watched him go upstairs stupidly.

When He Jiawei's back disappeared on the stairs, Yang Yan hesitated for a moment, walked to the dining table, turned on his computer, quickly typing on the keyboard, and searched for the name of the city leaders in Hecheng.

Xia Yu told him before that her parents were both in Hecheng, but although Yang Yan was from Hecheng, he was just an ordinary little citizen and did not care about local news and did not know the names of those leaders at all.

But soon, the omnipotent network gave him the answer.

"Xia Xiangyang, Executive Vice Mayor of Hecheng." Yang Yan was silent. He now knew that He Jiawei was not trying to deceive him.

For some reason, Yang Yan was more willing to find out, and then he inferred that He Jiawei was a liar...

Not long after, He Jiawei got down from the upper floor. He took a red wine box and showed it to Yang Yan. Then he found a bag and picked it up. Then he dragged two boxes and the box of red wine, ready to leave.

When He Jiawei passed by the kitchen, he smiled and said to Yang Yan: "Since Xiao Xia asked you to live here temporarily, it's hard for me to ask anything, but don't move the things in this house, because Mayor Xia will be unhappy. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yang Yan nodded silently. He didn't like the eyes that the man in front of him often squinted.

However, in order to show friendship, Yang Yan paused, responded to He Jiawei with a smile, and even invited generously: "Brother He, have you eaten dinner? I cooked tomato and beef brisket, why don't you stay here and have something together?"

Yang Yan was unwilling to act like a disrespectful person.

He Jiawei glanced at the wok where he was still cooking, and a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes, but he covered it up very well, and his mature and steady face still had a polite smile.

"No, I've used supper." After He Jiawei refused, he dragged his stuff away.

The door was closed with a clatter, leaving Yang Yan standing quietly under the warm-toned lights of the kitchen. The huge house, except for his bedroom, was dark. The shadow of the riverside lights outside the terrace reflected in, making the house look particularly empty.

Yang Yan stayed silently for a while. When it was time, he opened the lid of the pot, poured the potatoes, radishes and the remaining tomato sauce in, and then cooked for another ten minutes...

During the whole process, except for the jingling of pots, pans and spoons, Yang Yan made no other sound.

It was not until Yang Yan brought the cooked tomato brisket to the table that he let out a leisurely breath.

Yang Yan turned around and walked towards Luo Luo who was neglected by him for a short while. The little guy actually lay there silently for a long time. If she found that her father hadn't played with her for a while, she would make a little noise to attract her father's attention!

"Come on, Luoluo, look at the super tomatoes, potatoes, and carrot stewed beef brisket made by Dad? Is it full of color, fragrance and flavor?" Yang Yan picked up Luoluo, gently wiped the little guy's snot with a wet wipe, and smiled with a hearty smile.

Yang Yan held Luo Luo at the dining table and talked endlessly to Luo Luo how good this dish was: "...not just because it is nutritious, Luo Luo, look, when my father comes to make a bowl of rice later, can he pour these fragrant tomato soup on the rice?"

After talking for a while, Yang Yan lowered his head but found that Luo Luo did not look at the food he cooked at all, but looked at him intently. His clear and innocent eyes were like a mirror, reflecting his unconcealed thoughts.

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment. He lowered his eyelids slightly. After a while, he lowered his head and gently kissed Luoluo's little face. He smiled, as if he was warning himself, and said softly to Luoluo: "It's okay, Luoluo, Dad doesn't matter, actually there is nothing to ask for. Your godmother is a very good girl, and Dad is beyond the reach of her! It's okay, Dad has never thought about those things, so there is no need to be sad, do you think so?"

Luoluo seemed to understand the sadness in her father's eyes. She looked at her father with big eyes, then raised her small palm, and gently put it on her father's face when she acted like a kitten with a coquettish person.

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment. He smiled and his mood suddenly became much brighter. He lowered his head and kissed the little girl's little fingertips like a little shell, and smiled and said, "You clingy little fairy!"

...

It was late at night, and Yang Yan changed Luoluo's clean diapers and coaxed her to continue sleeping. After looking at the time, he also covered his laptop and prepared to wash and go to bed.

But when he got up from the chair, Yang Yan hesitated for a moment. He reached out to grab his cell phone on the table. After thinking for a while, he still sent a text message: "Xia Yu, your boyfriend is here tonight, but there is nothing big. He said he wanted to do something for your father and he has left."

Yang Yan kept telling herself the reason for sending this text message: "I have to say it and let Xia Yu know, otherwise she wouldn't know what happened, she would be too passive."
