Grocery Store No.514

Chapter 28

Go to your house?

Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a while. The egg he had just picked up fell into the bowl with a squishing sound and splashed out the soup. Ignoring the dirt on his body, he quickly grabbed Ling Huaans hand. Quickly wiped the soup on the back of Ling Huaans hand with his fingers. L looked at the reddened skin, he nervously said in guilt, Huaan, Im sorry, I burned you. Its all my fault for being careless.

Ling Huaan drew back his hand and said with a smile, Im fine, I dont feel hot at all.

Its hot and red.  Its all because Im so sloppy in everything I do. Jiang Chengyan felt very distressed.

Ling Huaan said helplessly, Its really okay. I remember telling you that my skin is like this, it will turn blue if you touch it a little bit, but its really nothing.

Do you have scald cream here? If not, Ill go to the pharmacy to buy it.

Ling Huaan helplessly changed the subject, Captain Jiang, you still havent said when youre free?

What? Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, then reacted somewhat uncomfortably, Well, Im not sure. But there should be three days off.

Three days? He actually mentioned the time of the day off, which shows that Jiang Chengyan also has expectations for him. Ling Huaan flashed a smile and said, Then Captain Jiang can have a good rest.

Im blind, and I cant do many things. Its better to visit the store than to stay at home alone. At least I can make some money. Ling Huaan, who was so perceptive, could naturally hear Jiang Chengyans hidden message.

When Jiang Chengyan heard this, he felt a little bit more distressed. He looked at Ling Huaan, Huaan, I think you listen to songs every day, you should be able to sing a lot of songs, or lets go to KTV to sing some other day.

I like to be quiet, I dont like that kind of occasion. Ling Huaan paused,  then said, I like to read, but I am blind. If Captain Jiang is free, you can come and read for me at home.

The smile under Ling Huaans eyes grew thicker,  What type of books does Captain Jiang like to read?

I like to read novels, especially criminal investigations. Maybe because it is related to my profession. How about you? Huaan, what kind of books do you like to read?

I like history books, and of course I like novels. But there are too few books translated into Braille, so Yan Yu usually reads them to me when he is free.

Yan Yu? Thinking about the image he saw last night, Jiang Chengyan couldnt help but feel sour inside. Huaan, what does Yanyu do? It looks like he is very free.

Ling Huaan couldnt help but hook up the corner of his lips, but he pretended not to notice anything, Yan Yus family has business.  There is a company that he is taking care of now. He is usually very busy, but he has been relatively free recently.

Jiang Chengyan feels more and more unhappy. He hesitated to ask, Yan Yu is handsome and has a good family background. There should be a lot of girls chasing him. Does he have a girlfriend?

I havent heard him talk about this before, but he is only 25 years old this year. Its time when he started his career. Not worry about personal problems. Ling Huaan asked casually, Captain Jiang, how old are you this year? Do you have a girlfriend?

90-line¹. Im 30 years old this year. and I dont have a girlfriend yet. Although it was a very common question, Jiang Chengyan felt extremely nervous to answer.

Being able to sit as the captain of the criminal investigation team at the age of 30 is enough to show the ability of Tem Jiang. However, at this age, it is time to find a partner and fall in love. Is your family also starting to urge it? Ling Huaan asked quietly.

Our careers are unpleasant, we are usually very busy with work, and sometimes we work overtime for more than half a month to a month. Who would want to fall in love with us? As for my family, I moved out early and had a bad relationship with them, so I didnt have the trouble of being urged to marry. Jiang Chengyan said while observing Ling Huaans reaction.

Does Captain Jiang have someone you like?

Jiang Chengyans heart tightened and he gathered all the courage to say it, but the words turned out to be, Not yet. Huaan, what about you?

Ling Huaans eyes flickered, and he said, I do have a crush on someone. But, I havent been able to guess that persons intention, so were still friends.

You have someone you like? Jiang Chengyan was startled with a sore heart, but he said casually, who is it? Is it convenient to say?

Ling Huaan sighed helplessly in his heart, Its inconvenient to say, sorry.

It doesnt matter, I asked too abruptly. Jiang Chengyan stirred the noodles in the bowl, feeling even more uncomfortable.

Ling Huaan heard the sourness in Jiang Chengyans words clearly, and said with a smile, Because were talking, Captain Jiang did not eat the noodles. Eat quickly, or the noodles will get cold.

Oh, okay. Jiang Chengyan looked at the noodles in the bowl and ate them without any taste. After a while, he stood up and said, Huaan, Im going to wash the dishes.

Seeing Ling Huaan nodding, Jiang Chengyan turned around and went to the back, washed the tableware and chopsticks, and also cleaned the pan before returning to the glass window. 

When he saw a glass of milk on the table, his heart warmed. Noticing the change in his emotions, Jiang Chengyan couldnt help but burst into a bitter smile and sighed, Jiang Chengyan ah Jiang Chengyan, I didnt think that you, who has always been calm and self-possessed, would have a day.²

Wang Lei, who had been watching, couldnt help but curl his lips when he saw this. He whispered into Lings Huaan ears, Laoban, this fool has been staring at you and smiling. At a glance, I know he has bad intentions for you.

Jiang Changping in the bell suddenly said, Master, Captain Jiang likes you.

Ling Huaan slightly curled the corners of his lips and said, Captain Jiang, the milk is warm. Drink it while its still warm.

A slight smile of Ling Huaan under the light, warmed this late autumn night.

Jiang Chengyan raised the corner of his mouth, walked to Ling Huaan, and said with a smile, Okay.

Smiling so lewdly.  There must be no good things in his heart. Laoban, you have to be careful.

Master, the look on his eyes has fallen very deep, but he hasnt noticed it yet.

The smile in Ling Huaans eyes deepened, and he sat quietly in front of the glass window, feeling the temperature emanating from Jiang Chengyans body.

**

In the middle of the night, only Ling Huaan and two ghosts were left in the store. Jiang Changpings head was found, and he was wearing the clothes that Ling Huaan had burned on him, covering up the terrifying wounds on his body. Although his appearance is still terrifying, he is not as scary as before. He floated anxiously at the door and asked, Master, wont my appearance really scare him?

Ling Huaan said helplessly, You have asked this question dozens of times.

Jiang Changping responded, I Im just afraid of scaring him.

Ling Huaan comforted him saying, In the eyes of a lover, no matter what the other becomes, they will not be scared, they will only be heartbroken.

Jiang Changping smiled bitterly, Master,  I feel sorry for him. I made him wait for three years just to be abandoned.  Do you think that he will really come to see me?

You should hear the words of Captain Jiang very clearly. You should understand how deep Kong Fangs feelings are for you. If he can see you for the last time, he will come. Whether its true or not. Just wait patiently.

Jiang Changping didnt speak, he stood quietly at the door, staring at the dark night outside. The bright headlights cut through the darkness and Yan Yus car parked outside the store. There is Kong Fang, who was Jiang Changpin waiting for, following him down.

Hes here, hes really here! Jiang Changping looked at Kong Fang excitedly, with choking sobs in his voice.

Yan Yu pushed open the door of the store, the pleasant sound of bells rang, Kong Fang followed closely and walked in through Jiang Changpings body. Jiang Changping froze in place, watching Kong Fangs eyes flashing with complex emotions.

Yan Yu came to Ling Huaan and said in a deep voice, Huaan, I brought him.

Okay. Ling Huaan nodded and smiled.

Hello, are you Mr. Ling? Kong Fang looked at Ling Huaan.

Hello, Mr. Kong doesnt have to doubt it. I am also entrusted by others. But let me ask one more question. Would you like to see him one last time?

Can you really let us meet?

Kong Fang looked at Ling Huaan nervously. If someone told him before that he could see the dead person, he would definitely scoff at him. But today he easily followed a stranger. It was just a word of love that made him lose his reason.

Ling Huaan nodded, asking , Then would you like to see him?

Kong Fang said hurriedly, Yes, of course I do!

Okay, then prepare yourself mentally, his appearance may be a little scary.

No, no matter what he looks like, in my heart he is just Jiang Changping, the person I love. Kong Fang smiled gently.

Yan Yu, close the store door.

Okay. Yan Yu responded then closed door and pulled down the curtain.

Ling Huaan stopped talking. He took out a yellow talisman from his pocket, and chanted the incantation silently. The yellow talisman suddenly ignited, Jiang Changping who was standing at the door, slowly appeared  looking at Kong Fang who faced him back. He opened his mouth and it took a long time to find his voice, he sobbed and called out, A-Fang.

Kong Fang was startled, before turning to look at Jiang Changping. Tears instantly flowed out of his eyes. He also choked up, Changping, Its really you!

Its me. Jiang Changping wanted to step forward, but he stopped.

Seeing this, Kong Fang ran forward regardless, hugged Jiang Changping tightly, and sobbed Changping

Jiang Changping anxiously pushed Kong Fang, A-Fang, let go. Im a ghost now. The Yin energy is too heavy. You cant stand it.

I wont let go, Ill never let go again! Kong Fang hugged him tightly.

Jiang Changping looked at Ling Huaan, pleading, Master

Ling Huaan sighed and said, your Yin energy  has been covered by me. You wont hurt him in a short time. Dont worry.

Jiang Changping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He raised his hand and hugged Kong Fang tightly. The originally well-proportioned person had only a handful of bones left, makes him felt so distressed. Not to mention how misrable his heart is, Im sorry A-Fang. Im sorry!

No, no, its my fault. I should try my best to keep you. If I hadnt left you behind, this couldnt have happened. Changping, Im sorry Im sorry

Looking at the two people hugging each other tightly, the other two people and a ghost can only sighed.  They were clearly a couple in love, but now they have become separated by Yin and Yang. It is really the impermanence of the world.

The two people tell each other their heartfelt feelings, but now they has a different path. Even if they are not willing to let go, they still have to separate. Jiang Changping wiped the corners of Kong Fangs eyes, hesitated for a moment, A-Fang, theres something i want to ask you.

Kong Fang took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said, Do we still have to say something like this between us?

A-Fang, although Hanhan is not my biological son, we have a father and son relationship. Li Qiuran and Yao Jiang may not be able to come out for a life, and I cant stay in the world for long. I hope you can adopt him. I know its a little bit too much to ask, but I really cant let him fall into the hands of someone like Li Jian/Guo.

But he has a maternal grandfather and grandmother. Even if I want to adopt him, its useless.  Its not even legal, I cant do adoption procedures.

Jiang Changping thought for a while, then sighed, If it really doesnt work, then send him back to Ancheng.  Later, Ill make a will and give him a million yuan from my inheritance, which can be regarded as our father son relationship for five years.

Kong Fang clutched Jiang Changpings hand. He looked at Ling Huaan and asked, Mr. Ling, can you give us a little more time, orChangping, are you willing to stay by my side forever?

I do, of course I do! Jiang Changping also looked at Ling Huaan and said, Master

No! As long as the time for reincarnation has passed, if you stay in the world, you will only become a wandering wild ghost. As time goes by, you will gradually lose consciousness and wander around the place where you died all day long.

Then, then can you let him stay with me for a few more days?

No! Mr. Kong, I know that the two of you have deep feelings for each other, but he is no longer human after all. I can temporarily cover the Yin eneregy in him, but it is only temporary. Your body is very weak. If you are infected by the Yin energy, it can lead to illness in mild cases or short lifespan in severe cases.

Im not afraid.

Im afraid! Jiang Changping thought about Kong Fangs words and said softly, A-Fang, I am very lucky to meet you in this life. Its just that I dont have the courage. A-Fang, you forget me.

If I could forget. How could I be in so much pain.

Jiang Changpings heart felt pained, but he had to say this cruel thing, But I will forget you soon. After drinking Mengpo soup³ and crossing the Naihe Bridge⁴, I will completely forget you. A-fang, dont be like this. Dont be silly, you are so good, you will definitely meet a better person. Maybeyou may not forget me in a short time, but after a long time, over time eventually you will forget me. A-Fang, my greatest wish is you can live happily. Promise me to live well, okay?

Kong Fangs tears slipped again, holding Jiang Changpings cold body tightly. After a long time, he sobbed and said, Okay, I promise you.

Jiang Changping felt uncomfortable, but he pushed Kong Fang away. He looked at Ling Huaan, Master, send me away.

Changping

Kong Fang wanted to go forward, but Jiang Changping avoided him and said, A Fang, remember to our promise.

Ling Huaan sighed and chanted the incantation silently. Jiang Changpings body gradually disappeared. Kong Fang rushed forward and tried to catch him, but it was empty. He cried out in pain, Changping, Changping

Mr. Kong, death is the beginning of a new life. You dont have to be so sad. As he said, after walking the Huangquan Road⁵, drinking Mengpo soup, and crossing the Naihe Bridge, he will have a new beginning.

Kong Fang stared at Ling Huaan in a daze, and after a long while he said in pain, Youre right, its just that he wont have me in his life anymore.

Ling Huaan fumbled to pull out a tissue and handed it to Kong Fang, saying, Mr. Kong, do you believe in karma?

Cause and effect? Kong Fang took the tissue, stared at Ling Huaan blankly.

The reason why you have a deep love affair in this life is because of the cause planted by Jiang Changping in his previous life. Ling Huaan paused for a moment, In the previous life, you and Jiang Changping were husband and wife. Jiang Changping met Li Qiuran by chance, and they had a relationship. Later, Jiang Changping knew that he couldnt afford you, even if he broke up with Li Qiuran. Unfortunately, a woman lost her virginity at that era and ended up in a pig cage. Li Qiuran died miserably. Before she died, she made a poisonous oath to entangle with him forever. The reason why Jiang Changping died in Li Qiurans hands in this life was to pay off his debts.

Eternal entanglement? Before, Kong Fan would sneer at this kind of feudal superstition. But after meeting Jiang Changping he believed it. He also believed everything Ling Huaan said.

Dont worry, his debts are paid off, and he wont be entangled in the next life.

Kong Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. When he returned to his senses, he found that the pain of suffocation in his heart was relieved a lot. He smiled gratefully and said, Mr. Ling, thank you.

Ling Huaan shook his head and said, You dont need to thank me, I dont do this for free.

Mr Ling, you not only find out the truth for Changping and help him reincarnate, but also let us see one last time. This kindness cant be repaid with some money. If you need my help in the future, just say it. I will do my best.

Ling Huaan smiled and said, Yan Yu, send Mr. Kong back.

Yan Yu responded, looking at Kong Fang, Mr. Kong, lets go.

Kong Fang looked around, but he saw nothing. Then he nodded disappointedly, Then Ill trouble Mr. Yan, goodbye Mr. Ling.

Ling Huaan nodded, Mr. Kong, take care.

The bell rang, the store door was opened. After a cold wind blew in, before it was closed again. Ling Huaan looked in Jiang Changpings direction and said, Your fate here is over.

Jiang Changping looked at the car in the distance and said with relief, I know. Master, I want to make a will, please help me.

Ling Huaan took out another yellow talisman from his pocket and chanted the incantation silently. Jiang Changping appeared again,  he found a pen and paper, and started writing. The will stated that Jiang Changpings real estate belonged to his parents, and all the paintings he made during his lifetime belonged to Kong Fang, and left Jiang Xiaohan 1 million, and finally re-written an IOU of 5 million to Ling Huaan.

Before leaving, Jiang Changping said with a smile, Master, I hope you and Captain Jiang can grow old together.

Ling Huaan smiled and waved to Jiang Changping.

***

On November 10, 3020, Jiang Chengyan was on his day off. But got up early and rushed into the bathroom in a hurry. He took a bath carefully. He, who has always only used soap before, today used a shower gel for the first time. 

Standing in front of the mirror, he shaved his beard, blew his hair, and smelled his body, before returning to the bedroom with a satisfied feeling. 

He opened the wardrobe, took out the clothes inside one by one, stood in front of the full-length mirror, and tried them one by one. He was hesitated again and again before dressing up, and hurriedly walked out the door with the phone in hand.

Jiang Chengyan drove to the largest bookstore in Huacheng. He looked around until he was  in front of the bookshelf where the history books were placed. He was not very interested in history, he even almost forgot about the history he learned in his student days. He didnt know what books to buy. After thinking about it, he picked up his phone. Opened the search engine and searched the history books translated into Braille. After making sure, he decided to buy back all the history books.

When the clerk of the bookstore saw a big customer, he hurriedly came to greet him. After Jiang Chengyan paid, he packed and sealed the box. There were five boxes in total.The trunk couldnt fit, so he could only put it in the back seat. Sitting in the car, Jiang Chengyan looked back at the two boxes of books on the back seat, and couldnt help raising the corner of his mouth. He thought for a while before took out his phone and called Yao Min.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. Yao Mins dissatisfied voice came from the receiver, Captain, Im on day off now, and you called me at nine oclock. Dont tell me there is a new case.

Its nine oclock and youre still sleeping, be careful of getting fat and becoming a pig.

Captain, if youre not my boss and call me at nine oclock, I will block you immediately.

Okay, I wont talk nonsense with you, I have something to ask you. Jiang Chengyan hesitated for a while, then asked, Do you think I should buy some gifts for my first visit in friends house?

A friends house? What friends, how is the relationship? Yao Min asked casually.

Just friends, ah, the relationship is okay. Jiang Chengyan suddenly regretted making the call.

Hearing what was wrong in Jiang Chengyans words, Yao Min, who had been acting very perfunctory just now, suddenly became energetic and excited, Captain, youre not going to Ling Dages house, right? Why are you developing so fast? Are you going to visit his house?

Jiang Chengyan scolded, Damn girl, can you put something pure in your head?

Yao Min responded hastily and said, Pure, pure, I promise to be pure in the future. But captain, you have to tell me the truth, are you going to Ling Dage house?

Jiang Chengyan couldnt help but roll his eyes and responded vaguel, What do you think I should buy for my first visit to his house?

Ah ah ah, Captain, you have really been enlightened! Yao Min shouted excitedly.

Jiang Cheng Yan hung up the phone immediately and blocked her.  He really wondered which tendon he didnt match right, to make him call this crazy girl.

Jiang Chengyan thought for a while and decided to find the answer on his phone.  In the search dialog box, type in [what should I give when I go to my favorite persons house for the first time], after clicking OK, Jiang Chengyan carefully checks the various answers above.

[Girls give flowers, boys give razors. ]

[Upstairs, you are too old-fashioned. Its 3020 years old. Who still sends flowers? Now they all send money directly. ]

[Personally, I think its better to do what they like. You can give whatever they like. If havent familiar with each other, you can use the opinion of the first floor.⁶]

[Send the skin, the couples skin that has just been released recently, it is guaranteed to be able to hold the beauty back.⁷]

[it doesnt matter what you send. The important thing is that you dont forget to bring TT. Safety comes first.]

Jiang Chengyan hurriedly turned off the search engine and looked around, feeling a little guilty for no apparent reason.

Wng wng wng.

The phone vibrated, Jiang Chengyan felt nervous when he saw the name on it. He took a deep breath before answering the phone.

Hey, Huaan, why did you call?

Didnt Captain Jiang say that you would come to my house today? What time will you arrive?

Well, its about ten oclock. Ive been a little tired recently. I overslept all of a sudden.

Okay, what would Captain Jiang want to eat at noon? Ill go downstairs to buy ingredients later.

No, Ill buy it myself later. Dont go out if its inconvenient for you to move around.

Thats fine. Then you can buy whatever you want.  Ill cook it for you when you arrive.

Okay, then see you later.

Jiang Chengyan hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth couldnt help but rise, he couldnt hold it down. He started his car and went to a nearby supermarket. He bought a lot of things, and filled three shopping carts. After paying and loading the car, Jiang Chengyan was filled with a sense of accomplishment. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator pedal, the car started slowly and drove towards the area where Ling Huaan lived.
