the sun rises because of loving you

Shang Lin packed the sushi into a box, carried a bag and went downstairs, while Bai Xihe stood under the dim streetlight.

To be honest, Bai Xihe's demeanor is really deceptive. Standing there with one hand in his pocket with no expression on his face makes people think that he should not be easy to mess with, but Shang Lin knows that he is not like this .

Shang Lin walked over briskly: "Shopping?"

"Well, buy a few cans of wine." Bai Xihe lifted the bag and shook it, then smiled at him: "Can you drink it?"

"Of course." Shang Lin said, "Did you forget where we first met?"

Bai Xihe laughed: "I haven't forgotten, I'm just afraid that you will have something to drink later."

"It's nothing." Shang Lin smiled: "As long as Shang Zhu doesn't come, I'm basically idle."

Bai Xihe Xiaoxiao didn't speak.

The two of them took the elevator up to the 23rd floor, and the door was opened slightly, probably because they saw Bai Xihe going upstairs.

"Yo, Shang Lin is here." Li Yuting's hair grew a lot, not as straight as it was back then.

"Yeah." Shang Lin handed him the sushi: "The little ancestor is gone, and I have nothing to do. I made the sushi myself. Try it as you like."

Qi Luyang rushed over and snatched the sushi from Li Yuting's hand, and embraced Shang Lin very familiarly: "Brother, I secretly ate a piece of the mooncake you made, it was super delicious, how to make it, can you teach me? "

Li Yuting grabbed him by the collar and pulled him off: "You are good, don't be ashamed here, why are you called brother when you are younger than others?"

Shang Lin shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, I'll teach you if you want to learn."

"Don't." Bai Xihe said suddenly: "He can't even tell the difference between pots and pans, he just wants to destroy it."

Qi Luyang was not happy anymore, and shouted: "Old Bai, how can you tear people down! But how old are you, Shanglin? Let me see that you are older than you."

"28."

Qi Luyang raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You? 28? You don't mean to want me to call your brother to talk nonsense, do you?"

Shang Lin looks fair, so he looks small, most people don't believe it when they hear about his age, but Shang Lin is used to it.

"I didn't lie to you, I didn't tell you to call me brother, didn't you also call me brother?" Shang Lin was helpless.

"Wow, I can't tell, you are only two years younger than Lao Bai."

Li Yuting knocked him with chopsticks: "Can you talk, does Lao Bai look old?"

Qi Luyang quickly waved his hands at Bai Xihe and said, "No, no, I was wrong, Lao Bai."

The other party smiled and shook his head.

"Let's eat. I ordered a few more dishes just now, but they haven't moved yet. I ordered them at Jiuyuefang, and they taste pretty good." Li Yuting invited Shang Lin to sit down.

"I don't mind if I touch it." Shang Lin smiled, and immediately picked up a chopstick of beef and ate it.

"That, Shang Lin." Li Yuting took two mouthfuls and looked at him as if he didn't know how to speak.

Shang Lin chuckled: "Is it about my sister?"

Li Yuting was a little embarrassed: "She occasionally came to chat with me recently, because she didn't show too much, so I can't say it directly, just... If she is interesting, you can persuade her more, don't delay the girl."

Shang Lin nodded, and didn't think there was anything wrong, but felt that Li Yuting was quite decisive, and saved his own princess from suffering.

Bai Xihe's friends were easy to get along with, cheerful and unaffected, Shang Lin felt very comfortable, and exchanged WeChat and mobile phone numbers before leaving.

This can be regarded as the most lively Mid-Autumn Festival that Shang Lin has had in the past few years. However, the three of them did not go home on the reunion day. I don’t know why. just fine.

Bai Xihe returned home with his mind a little swollen, and lay on the bed without taking a shower or changing his clothes. He was neither sleepy nor tired, but just stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Dudu hadn't slept yet, so he followed him to the second floor, planning to sleep overnight on the big soft bed of the excrement shovel officer.

It jumped onto the bed, walked up to Bai Xihe, pressed its head against his forehead, and let out a sticky cry. Bai Xihe turned his head and looked into its amber and lake-blue eyes.

Dudu tilted his head to look at him, in a standard cat sitting posture, looking a little puzzled, and tentatively patted Bai Xihe's face with his paw.

Bai Xihe sat up slowly, pulled Dudu into his arms, and smoothed its fur with his hands. After a long time, the cat almost fell asleep, and he sighed silently.

Dudu was the cat he raised with Chu Ye for nearly three years, and then he broke up with Chu Ye, but he still kept Dudu.

He didn't want to commemorate anything, on the contrary, he didn't regret the day he broke up with Chu Ye.

After most couples break up, they lose all connection between them.He lost them too, and sent Dudu to a nice new owner back then.

However, Dudu was reluctant to part with him, and was sent away for a week without food, and finally fell ill from hunger, and the new owner had no choice but to call him.

After all, it is a pet that has been kept for nearly three years. He has feelings, not to mention that he likes cats himself, so when he saw Dudu's weak appearance, his heart softened, so he took Dudu home again.

After Dudu got well, he was very clingy to him, following him wherever he went, as if he was afraid of being thrown away again. During that period of time, Bai Xihe didn't have a job, so he stayed at home with the cat all the time.

He sent Dudu away because he was afraid that when he saw it, he would think of that person. He felt that after breaking up, he should break up completely. Don’t keep it as the best thing, so after holding Dudu back, he didn’t know what he should do for a while. Confused and uneasy.

Chu Ye has many similarities with Dudu, he is beautiful, precious, and he likes to act like a baby. He thought he would always remember Chu Ye.

In fact, from the moment they broke up, he didn't have any illusions about Chu Ye. Maybe he left a place called "memories with Chu Ye" in a dusty corner of his heart, but he couldn't look back, and he had already let go.

When Qi Luyang said that name unintentionally, he thought he would have a different feeling, but no, he was unexpectedly calm, and the indifferent words he said were not comforting those two people, he really didn't care up.

"Dudu." Bai Xihe put his hand in front of the Persian cat's mouth, squinted his eyes and licked his fingertips around, the barbs on his tongue made his fingers itchy.

He took out his mobile phone to take a picture of Dudu, only to find two unread messages on WeChat.

It's all from his mother, a voice, a string of numbers.

He smiled and turned on the voice to listen: Son, mom sent you two boxes of hairy crabs today, and it will arrive in two days. Remember to collect them. If you don’t know how to cook them yourself, share some with your friends, or take them to the restaurant for the chef to cook. , Mom and Dad are going to travel to Russia tomorrow, and come back to Yuancheng to see you.

The number at the bottom is the tracking number.

He also replied with a voice message: Okay, I received a photo for you, be careful on the road.

With such an interruption, he seemed to have forgotten what he was going to do. He put away his phone and put Dudu next to the pillow, took his clothes and went to take a shower.

Shang Lin was awakened by the sun. The weather in October was neither too hot nor too cold, but it had been cloudy for several days in the past two days, and it finally cleared up today.

He raised his hand to cover the sun, and it took him a long time to barely open his eyes. He took his phone and swiped through Weibo, and replied to a few comments casually, only to realize that today is Friday, and Shang Zhu will be here again tomorrow.

This girl recently complained that the breakfast in the cafeteria only had soy milk and fried dough sticks, and she was tired of eating it. In fact, she just wanted him to cook something so that she could take it home and eat it.

After thinking about it, he decided to make some egg yolk cakes, and he could give some to Bai Xihe as well.

But there are no duck eggs at home, so he can only pack himself up and go to the supermarket to buy them.

Before making egg yolk crisps, he boiled a pot of sweet potato porridge and simmered it in a pot for dinner.

As soon as he wrapped all the dough and kneaded it into balls, sprinkled sesame seeds and pushed it into the oven, Bai Xihe's call came.

"My mother sent me two boxes of crabs, but I don't know how to cook them. I gave one box to Li Yuting, and the other box is for you. Do you come and get it yourself or should I send it to you?"

"Ah?" Shang Lin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously made a choice among the options he gave, and hurriedly shied away: "I just put the things in the oven, or you can put them in Li Yuting's place. I'll pick it up myself when the time comes."

Bai Xihe asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"

"Egg yolk cake." Shang Lin thought for a while: "You can come here directly, I originally wanted to send it to you, but it just so happens that you come here and take it away."

"Okay." Bai Xi agreed, "Where is your home?"

"Three Buildings 1602."

Bai Xihe came soon, carrying a box of hairy crabs without a trademark: "Put it in the refrigerator, I carried it all the way, it melted a little, it's all water."

Just as Shang Lin was about to respond, he turned his head and looked at his watch. It was 04:30 in the afternoon: "You gave away both boxes, what do you eat?"

Bai Xihe chuckled: "I don't know how to do it. It's not worth steaming a few at a time, so I'll give them all to you."

"Then eat here, I'll make it later, how about you eat with me at night?"

Bai Xihe readily responded: "Okay, I wish someone would take me in."

Friendship between men always comes quickly, perhaps a meal, or a few words of effort, can make two strange men become familiar.

Shang Lin liked Bai Xihe's decisiveness that was not easy to detect, he gave a gift when he said it was a gift, and waived it when he said it was free, and he didn't hesitate to stay for dinner.

The egg yolk crisps were baked, and Shang Lin divided them into three portions, and gave them to Bai Xihe to taste, and seeing that he liked them, he wrapped a few for him to take away.

There are seven crabs in a box, not big but looks very fat, and there is no rope, it does not seem to be bought outside.

"Where are you from?" Shang Lin asked.

"Yucheng, Linhai."

"No wonder, did you catch it yourself?"

"Yeah, my parents have a neighbor who fishes seafood for a living. Every year they catch some crabs and send them some, and they send some to me."

"Then I'll fry three of them, how about steaming the rest?" Shang Lin asked.

"It's up to you to decide." Bai Xihe had no objection.

Shang Lin nodded, took three out and chopped them into pieces, then steamed the remaining four.

Northerners always like to eat dishes with a strong taste, so Shang Lin stir-fried the leftover crabs, and the kitchen immediately smelled spicy. Bai Xihe leaned on the door frame to watch him, feeling a little greedy.

Shang Lin moved very quickly, and the action of sprinkling the seasoning was smooth and smooth like a chef, but he brought the crabs to the table in a short while.

"This crab has a lot of yellow, very fragrant." Shang Lin praised.

Bai Xihe took out some crab roe and said, "I guess my mother will send some more seafood. I gave it to Li Yuting in previous years, and I'll give you some more this year."

"Then I welcome you to come and eat at any time." Shang Lin served him a bowl of porridge.

"What is this?" Bai Xihe didn't recognize it.

"Sweet potato porridge, after cooking for more than an hour, the sweet potatoes and rice are all smashed, I can't tell."

Bai Xihe scooped up a spoonful and tasted it. Although he couldn't tell that there were still sweet potatoes in it, he could taste it in his mouth. It had the light sweetness of sweet potatoes, and the rice was so glutinous that it melted in his mouth without chewing. kind of.

He boasted: "It smells so good. I haven't seen anyone make the porridge like this. What I drank before should be called porridge."

"It's good as long as it's delicious." Shang Lin smiled.
