Liu Changan was holding a copy of Auguste.
History. Nearly 800 pages. It had some weight in his hand. He flipped through it casually. There were many pictures of European aristocratic court costumes. They looked beautiful, exquisite, and luxurious. At this time, Liu Changan always felt very awkward.
After all, when the Nine States' Storm Swordsman resisted Europe, the Romans still had the habit of pouring urine from the urinal on the street. Then they did it for hundreds of years. Juvenal even wrote a poem:
Unless you have enough experience and sensitivity,
Otherwise it will be too late to have a wonderful date.
Fate always likes to tease people,
Because there are always playful windows on the street,
Pray to the Almighty, but it is unlikely that you will be so lucky.
Being in a potty stall is an unavoidable fate.
When a poet begins to use poetry to describe a certain social situation, it is usually a common phenomenon.
Why do men walk on the left side of women? Because their windows can throw lumps of feces and urinals at any time. Such a custom of men standing on the left side has been preserved to this day.
In 1666, the diary of Anthony, a citizen of Oxford, recorded that His Royal Highness moved to Oxford, wearing such seemingly gorgeous and bright clothes. However, they urinated and defecated everywhere they went, and everywhere they went, the stench was overwhelming.
Anne of Austria, the mother of the "Sun King," also urinated on the carpet. The Palace of Versailles and the Palace of Fontainebleau were also places where aristocratic ladies urinated. They communicated with each other on how to seize the right moment without being discovered on the spot.
In 17th-century Europe, from queens to prostitutes, they all liked to show one or both of their hands in public.
Liu Changan closed the book, feeling bored. Some of the novels he had read recently were set in ancient Europe. They described the so-called low-key luxury and elegant aristocratic life, and he found it very funny. For example, the book "The Laws of Aristocracy" seemed to describe the elegant aristocratic life, but it was a different world. When Liu Changan read "Romeo and Juliet," he thought about the era of the story. In his mind, Romeo was inevitably full of rotten yellow teeth. If he wanted to come to Juliet's window, his shoes must have stepped on countless feces and urine, and Juliet would only take a few baths in her life. How could this story be romantic?
It was really like this … If you did not believe it, you could look through the European literature of the 16th and 17th centuries. Their own writers were always talking, writing, and arranging the problem of urine and urine.
Liu Changan thought that he had to eat supper later. He cut off his random thoughts and walked to the kitchen.
"The master is not waiting to eat, but came to the kitchen to inspect?" Qin Yanan was cleaning the snails with a water jet.
"This white jade is not bad." Liu Changan picked one up and looked at it, pinching the cute snail head.
The snail obviously did not like Liu Changan's caress and shrank its head back.
"Fried snails, crispy snail skewers, French baked snails, Chinese style, curry snails, or red wine stewed snails?" Qin Yanan asked.
"I want to use it to make soup, but women tend to get fat if they drink soup at night, and the taste is not very strong. Forget it, red wine stewed snails. Do you have red wine here?"
"Isn't this too time-consuming?"
"It's good that it's time-consuming. Otherwise, if we finish eating early, are we going to sit here and stare at each other? It's not like we can sit together and chat casually. "
"Yes, there's really nothing good to say to people like you." Qin Yanan stood up expressionlessly and handed the water jet to Liu Changan. "You wash it, I'm going to change."
When a woman changed her clothes, it meant that she left all the work for him to do, because it usually took more than three to five minutes.
She might change her clothes and find that her underwear was a little dirty, so she changed again, or find that her toenails were a little split, so she cut them, or find that her hair was a little messy, so she cut it, or find that her face was a little dry, so she hydrated, or find that her eyelashes were not curly enough, so she curled them … In short, there were many things to do.
Liu Changan washed the snails clean, poked the snails that were still looking around, and retracted their heads. Then, he boiled a pot of boiling water and poured the snails in.
He silently watched the snails die. After waiting for a while, Liu Changan reached in and scooped out the snails to wash them with cold water.
Next was the slow and meticulous work. He used a hook specially made for snail dishes to hook out the snails and used a pair of scissors to remove the internal organs. After checking to see if there were any that died before they retracted their heads, Liu Changan was very satisfied. Because when choosing ingredients, it always made his heart ache to see any waste. It died in vain.
At this time, Qin Yanan walked in. Liu Changan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he turned his head.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yanan was a little puzzled by his reaction and walked to Liu Changan's side.
From the corner of his eye, Liu Changan noticed that Qin Yanan was wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top with a short apron in front of her. When she walked over just now, it looked like she was only wearing an apron.
Of course, Liu Changan's eyesight was excellent, but didn't everyone make visual mistakes?
"The snail's head and feet are all curled up, and I cut them neatly. The meat is just right, and it's handled well. Next, it's up to your skill." Liu Changan said as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, then you stay on the side."
"Then I'll go watch TV."
"No."
"Why?"
"I'm asking you to stay on the side. I mean, stay here and watch me do things and accompany me. Do you understand?"
"Boring."
Liu Changan refused. Although her kitchen wasn't big, and it wasn't crowded for two people to stay together, Liu Changan felt that since she wanted him to stay here, it was better to let him do it.
Qin Yanan maintained a ladylike and reserved smile. She was very glad that he had become her cousin, not her fiancé. Otherwise, she would definitely cry in front of her great-grandfather and hang herself.
Qin Yanan heard the TV in the living room turn on and began to cut onions and celery. She looked at the kitchen door and nervously cut her finger with a kitchen knife. Looking at the white mark, she thought that even if it was Liu Changan, if he knew that she had such a situation, he would probably be shocked. Maybe he would still think of her as a monster.
This secret could only be kept by Qin Yanan. After all, the condition of sleepwalking could be a psychological problem, but who could understand this kind of physical mutation?
But how long could this secret be kept? What if she got married, and her husband couldn't get in? Her husband would probably doubt himself, and then his self-confidence would be hit. A man's self-esteem would be seriously damaged, and maybe his life would feel dim. How could a married life be happy?
Qin Yanan was a very realistic person. She would consider the problem of a suitable match, and of course, she would also consider the problem that adults would face.
Ai, she was already twenty-five years old. She didn't feel like she was at the age where she couldn't get married.
Looking at the white jade snail in her hand, Qin Yanan shook her head, and her cheeks were red. Really, Liu Changan was still waiting outside to eat the dishes she made, and she was actually thinking about these problems here.
The onions and celery were chopped into minced meat, and the pork was cut into strips. The bread was sliced, and it was roasted on the stove for a while. Then, the onion was fried, and the pork was cooked. Then, it was time to braise the snail meat.
This took about an hour. Qin Yanan took out another bottle of red wine, poured a glass for herself and Liu Changan, and watched TV with him.
Liu Changan looked at the wine in his hand. He didn't expect Qin Yanan to take out a bottle of Maotai.
"What time do you usually sleepwalk?" Liu Changan asked.
"It's not fixed. Sometimes it's after I fall asleep, sometimes it's at two or three in the morning, and sometimes it's before dawn." Qin Yanan lifted her legs and put them on the foot rest. She leaned against the sofa lazily, and her fingers held the wine glass and gently shook it.
"That means I have to watch the surveillance for the whole night." Liu Changan nodded.
"It's a bit hard … Why don't you come back tomorrow to watch the surveillance? I won't delete the video. "Qin Yanan thought about it. After all, it was her own business. She had to be considerate of other people's hard work.
"No, I want to watch the surveillance, and I also want to see the scene. Don't close the bedroom door. I saw you sleepwalking, so I came in to see what kind of situation you were in." Liu Changan shook his head. Staying up late was of course nothing to him.
"Ah, don't close the bedroom door?" Qin Yanan looked at Liu Changan, reached out to touch her arm, and then turned her head to look at the door.
His request was reasonable, but there was really no way to accept it. It seemed a bit awkward to directly reject it. If she casually agreed, wouldn't it seem very frivolous?
"Don't worry. I'd rather learn from others and use" The Book of Songs "than to touch you." Liu Changan was very confident in his self-control.
Qin Yanan stood up, put down the red wine glass, and took a pillow and threw it at Liu Changan's face. Then, she went to the kitchen to look at the snails without saying a word.
Liu Changan grabbed the pillow and continued to drink. It seemed that she was very satisfied with his answer. There was no other nonsense to be shy and reserved.
Mature women were more generous, while little girls were more reserved and shy. Everyone had to grasp their own characteristics well and not confuse their own characteristics with their age.
Of course, sometimes the shyness of a mature woman and the charm of a young girl were also extremely moving … But now everyone was doing business, not flirting. Naturally, they had to be serious, lively, and serious.
After a while, Qin Yanan came up with a red wine snail stew for Liu Changan to taste.
"It's fragrant and refreshing." Liu Changan tasted it and looked somewhat satisfied. "The taste is strong but not greasy. The meat is fresh and tender. It's refreshing to eat. It's not like a meal. I always feel that I need to add a few mouthfuls of rice to stop the aftertaste. Supper should be like a snack. It should be finished in one bite and not sloppy at all."
Qin Yanan was a bit proud. She found that when Liu Changan praised her, the sense of accomplishment in her heart was really mixed with a kind of conquering desire … This little cousin always gave her a feeling that he had high standards. Even her appearance and figure were not that great. Instead, it made her feel that he was obedient in other aspects and recognized that she, Qin Yanan, was great.
Like his little girlfriend, she didn't know anything except for her good looks. She was silly and cute. Was she really a suitable person to be a partner?
When it came to dating, one had to be in the living room and the kitchen … Of course, Liu Changan didn't have this luck. Thinking back to the time when he disliked her, he really didn't know what to say.
Qin Yanan's pride fermented in her heart for a while, and then she casually tasted the snail she made.
"I think you are a little fatter than a month ago. Did you often feed yourself and become fatter? You feel a bit like Zhou Dongdong. "Liu Changan asked suspiciously.
"Don't talk when eating." Qin Yanan regretted that she didn't use dichlorvos. If she was like Zhou Dongdong, wouldn't she be lying on the bed and roll under the bed with a slight tilt?
"Why don't you talk when eating supper? If you don't chat when eating supper, how can it be called eating supper? "Liu Changan objected.
"Thank you, please don't worry about a lady's weight." Qin Yanan lowered her head, touched her belly, and looked at the TV calmly.
Sure enough, there was nothing to talk about with Qin Yanan. Liu Changan continued to eat supper.
However, Qin Yanan had something to say to Liu Changan.
"How are you going to observe me when I sleepwalk?"
"Of course I'll observe with my eyes. Do you want to use a magnifying glass?"
"I mean, will you try to talk and intervene in my sleepwalking activities?"
"I know more about sleepwalking than you do, so I won't do anything to harm you. However, your situation is a bit special. I may test your visual characteristics, movement characteristics, response to sound, light, physical touch, and other stimuli. I will also use some names, things, sentences, and other things that Ye Sijin may have a reaction to. "
"Physical touch?" Qin Yanan caught the key point.
Liu Changan didn't bother to explain.
Qin Yanan coughed softly. She felt that it was meaningless to ask about this. She was also a bit embarrassed. She had already decided to let him stay, but she was still suspicious about whether he would take advantage of her. It seemed a bit pretentious and bashful.
"What do your doctors think?" Liu Changan wanted to know the professional's opinion. However, if Qin Yanan's condition was related to the mysterious "magnetic field," the professionals would become amateurs.
Qin Yanan hesitated for a moment, then went to get a diagnosis report and analysis for Liu Changan.
"So long!" It was a thick stack of more than 20 pages, and more than 10 pages were handwritten in English. The font was extremely ugly. Was it because of the style of the local and foreign doctors?
Liu Changan casually flipped through it, but there was nothing worth considering.
After supper, Liu Changan went upstairs to the balcony to call An Nuan. Although Liu Changan was also used to using social media to receive and send messages, his girlfriend was still a little different.
For the past few days, An Nuan had been accompanying her grandparents around Junsha. An Nuan's grandfather used to work in the education system of Xiangnan Province. Ten years ago, he was transferred out of Xiangnan Province. Now, he had returned to Xiangnan Province. In the system, there was a need to move around. There was no future for one to stay in one position. Moving around was a sign of hope for one's career … Of course, there was no point in being transferred to be a firefighter.
The official position was probably not high. Liu Changan turned his head and looked in the direction of the capital.
After the call, he went downstairs. Qin Yanan had already gone to take a shower. A set of bathrobes was neatly placed on the sofa.
The hotel suites were generally separated from the wet, and there was a shower and a bathtub. Qin Yanan had two bathrooms, but they were relatively few. The pajamas were probably sent up by the hotel. It was impossible for her to have a man here.
There was no bathtub in the guest bathroom. Of course, Liu Changan did not care. On a hot day, Liu Changan would stand under the sycamore tree and take a shower in big pants. When Zhou Dongdong was a little younger and had an even smaller butt, she would run to Liu Changan's side and get drenched when he was showering.
Smart people had their own excellence, and stupid children were all stupid.
After Liu Changan took a shower and changed his clothes, Qin Yanan did not waste much time either. She just changed into the cheongsam that she wore today.
"Come and help me move the computer." The computer was placed in Qin Yanan's bedroom.
After a while, she restarted it and tested the wireless connection with the surveillance system. There was no problem.
"I will sleep in this set of clothes today." Qin Yanan explained, "Otherwise, I would change my clothes whenever I sleepwalk. I've tried wearing this qipao, and I don't have to change my clothes at all … I'm wearing safety pants and socks."
"Okay, you must be afraid of blinding my eyes. Thank you." Liu Changan thought about it and affirmed the protective effect of Qin Yanan on him, so he agreed.
"You …" Qin Yanan pointed at Liu Changan and put down her finger angrily. Girls were really weak in this aspect. She could not have a rebellious mentality and try to see if she could blind his eyes.
Liu Changan glanced at Qin Yanan. She had such a tall figure, and the socks wrapped around her slender curves. It was beautiful, but with her cheongsam, this kind of aunty style made people speechless.
Liu Changan sat in front of the computer and picked up a book called "A".
Objects, by Neil.
Macgregor used to be the curator of the world's largest bandit collection.
"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Yanan went to make a pot of coffee and put it on a plate. She put sugar and other ingredients on it and placed it in front of Liu Changan.
"Okay." Liu Changan didn't just drink tea, but he still asked, "Are the tea leaves in the pantry?"
"Yes. Do you want me to charge for you now? "
"No need, go to sleep."
"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Qin Yanan smiled. Although they usually bickered, whether he made her angry or teased her, he was now worried about her. Qin Yanan's gratitude was not out of politeness, but it was her duty.
"Go." Liu Changan waved his hand.
Qin Yanan walked into the bedroom.
She didn't change into her pajamas. She was going to sleep in this cheongsam. Otherwise, she would have to take off her clothes when she sleepwalked.
Without such preparation, how could Qin Yanan let Liu Changan watch the surveillance? After all, it wasn't an emergency. A girl's natural shyness and restraint made it necessary for her to have such thoughts.
Looking at the stockings that were exposed from the slit in her skirt, she felt that it was a little unnecessary. The safety pants were enough. However, when she thought about the length and shape of her legs, coupled with the temptation of the skirt, it would be torture for Liu Changan to look at her for an entire night. It was better to reduce her charm.
This wasn't narcissism. This was the correct understanding of herself.
Qin Yanan sat on the bed. She didn't sleep immediately. Instead, she picked up her phone and looked at it. She glanced at the camera from time to time.
After a while, Qin Yanan turned off her phone and pulled the quilt to cover her body. She didn't sleep on her side like she usually did. Instead, she lay upright. She took her hands out of the quilt and placed them softly on her lower abdomen.
The room was quiet. The unlocked door made the whole room feel like it was floating in an unknown world. It wasn't so familiar and stable. It seemed that her attention was wrapped around the doorknob. The slightest movement would wake her up, and then some creature from the unknown world would crawl in.
This creature must have a lot of tentacles. It looked like a snake, a swan's neck, and an octopus' tentacle. It was a mysterious symbol of hormones in girls' dreams.
He was looking at the surveillance. Her every move, even the slightest movement, was under his watch, but she couldn't see him and couldn't talk to him directly. There was a kind of desire in her heart to pour out to him, a kind of silent confession, and the feeling was a little strange.
Qin Yanan was a little nervous. Liu Changan didn't seem to be completely inexperienced. Or maybe he was just dealing with her situation according to the situation. Qin Yanan even felt that his purpose was to see her look exactly like Ye Sijin.
So be it … If she was Ye Sijin when sleepwalking, she would probably want to see the descendant of Senior Ye Chenyu.
If she was "Ye Sijin" when sleepwalking, would this "Ye Sijin" talk to Liu Changan? Qin Yanan couldn't be sure. Generally speaking, people who sleepwalked wouldn't do that, but she couldn't say for her special situation.
She should sleep early and see how Liu Changan would deal with the surveillance tomorrow.
Qin Yanan raised her hand and waved at the camera. She said "Good night" and closed her eyes.
Hurry up and sleep.
She fell asleep.
She felt some movement in her body. Was she sleepwalking?
It was as if she had taken off something and felt much more relaxed.
Sleeping was only comfortable when one was unrestrained.
Continue to sleep.
Her eyes felt the light.
It wasn't the feeling of her biological clock reminding her to wake up on time.
It was so comfortable. She wanted to stretch and open her eyes. That must be the feeling of a full sleep. It was so comfortable that she wanted to moan.
So Qin Yanan opened her eyes, stretched her neck, and stretched. Her nose let out a satisfied hum.
The air in the room was slightly cool. The quilt was warm and comfortable. Every inch of her skin was wrapped in the quilt, and it felt soft.
Every inch of her skin?
Qin Yanan was stunned. She slowly lifted the quilt and looked at herself under the quilt. Except for a pair of underwear, there was nothing else!
What was going on?
Was this a scene of someone who hadn't woken up and messed up the morning of a certain period of time in the past?
"Ah!" Qin Yanan screamed. What happened last night! She was wearing safety pants, tights, and a cheongsam to sleep.
