the sun rises because of loving you

Ever since he helped Bai Xihe for three days, Shang Lin loved to go to his cat cafe when he had nothing to do. Sometimes when he had something to do, most of the time he was too busy and didn't want to stay at home alone. , just go to his place to kill time, tease the cat, read a book, translate articles or simply chat with Bai Xihe.

It's very cold in the north in winter, Shang Lin wore a smoky gray overcoat and went out, when Bai Xihe arrived at the cat cafe, he was bathing Wolan upstairs.

Knowing that he was coming, Bai Xihe poked his head out from the stairs: "Come up, I haven't returned a picture of this dryer yet, so you can take a video for me by the way."

"Okay." Shang Lin took off his coat, and Hu Qing hung it on the hanger by the door for him.

Bai Xihe seemed to have just started washing, Wolan's body was wet but there were no bubbles.

Hu Qing said before that Wolan liked Bai Xihe very much. He hadn't observed it carefully before, but today he discovered that when Wolan took a bath, the whole cat nestled in Bai Xihe's arms, messing up part of his clothes. When it gets wet, it doesn't look like it's afraid of water, but even if it likes to be close to Bai Xihe, Bai Xihe doesn't dislike it. After washing it, it even scratches its chin. Wolan narrows her eyes and snores comfortably. .

Shang Lin directly took a picture with his mobile phone, instead of taking pictures of Bai Xihe's face, only his slender hands were taken.

After washing, Bai Xihe wiped its hair, and then put the still wet woad into the dryer. The woad probably wasn't used to this thing yet, and when it was put in, it became very nervous and always wanted to crawl out. , and yelled at Bai Xihe aggrievedly, as if Bai Xihe was going to throw it away.

Bai Xihe reached in and stroked the fur on its back, coaxing him lightly: "It's nothing, don't be afraid."

Wolan quietly stayed inside to be dried. Bai Xihe turned off the dryer and opened his hand towards Wolan. The Siamese cat came out with a meow and fell into Bai Xihe's arms.

The freshly blown hair is particularly smooth and clean. Shang Lin moved the camera a little closer to shoot it. A video was shot for more than ten minutes.

Bai Xihe let go of the woad and let it go to play, Shang Lin leaned on the door frame to cut the video, Bai Xihe took off the outer sweater and stuffed it into the washing machine.

Shang Lin raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw Bai Xihe wearing a black vest with his back facing him.

Bai Xihe has a good figure, with broad shoulders and a thin waist. The first time they met was in summer. At that time, Bai Xihe was only wearing short sleeves. Even if it was loose, Shang Lin could still see his muscles. Wearing a vest now obviously It's more obvious.

"You do it, I'll go down first." Shang Lin forced himself to tear his gaze away from Bai Xihe's waist, and said with a little embarrassment.

"Okay." Bai Xihe nodded.

Shang Lin went downstairs, took a deep breath, and glanced up the stairs again, silently calming down.

He cut the video into a 1-minute video and sent it to Weibo, and circled the wechat business owner.

——My God, do you want to be so gentle, boss!

——Actually, the cat is the boss’ own son, right?This voice is gentle and crying, okay?

——This is the first time I know that a man can be so gentle, why haven't I met him before!

Shang Lin casually replied to a few comments, and when he looked up, he saw Hu Qing standing behind the bar with his chin in a daze.

"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed." Shang Lin laughed.

It was only then that Hu Qing woke up with a start, his whole body became alert, and then he smiled embarrassedly at Shang Lin: "I was thinking about my boyfriend and I just now."

"What's wrong?"

"I've been away from my partner for three years, and I want to bring him home this Chinese New Year." Hu Qing smiled shyly.

Shang Lin smiled: "Good thing."

Hu Qing pursed his lips: "But we are in a different place, I will take him home. If both parents agree, we may get married, so..."

Speaking of this, Shang Lin probably understood what she meant. If a long-distance relationship wants to get married, one party must accommodate the other party, either the city where her boyfriend came from, or the city where Hu Qing went to the man. But Hu Qing is so entangled, Either I didn't think about it, or I was thinking about work.

While talking, Bai Xihe also came down, he changed his clothes, his hair was also wet, obviously he took a shower.

"Boss." Seeing Bai Xihe come down, Hu Qing called him, apparently he had something to say.

Shang Lin didn't stay in front of him too much, he went to the cat climbing frame to find the cat, and sat on the sofa with the professor in his arms to play ball with it.

About 20 minutes later, Bai Xihe came over and sat opposite Shang Lin with Xiao Si in his arms. He didn't say a word, and scratched Xiao Si's chin with lowered eyebrows. After a while, Xiao Si started to make a snoring sound. Lin listened with a smile, and looked up at him from time to time.

"Hu Qing is going to resign." After a while, Bai Xihe gave up and sighed.

"Is that really the case?" Shang Lin was stunned: "Then did you say when it will be done?"

"Wait until I find my next home, but it will have to be years ago. She will go to City C for the Chinese New Year."

Shang Lin blinked and responded softly.

Bai Xihe looked up at him, hesitant to speak, but he didn't hesitate for too long, and asked tentatively, "If you don't mind, can you come and help me?"

Shang Lin laughed: "I just thought so, and I was afraid that you would not like it. After all, I have to broadcast live one day or something."

Bai Xihe opened his eyes and was obviously pleasantly surprised: "How come, I'm not too busy here anyway, the main reason is that I don't know how to make those desserts, otherwise I won't bother you, you want to live broadcast or I can do translation and so on here.”

Shang Lin nodded: "Okay, then tell me when Hu Qing is leaving."

Bai Xihe breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay, thank you very much."

Shang Lin smiled: "What are you talking about?" After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and asked, "You said before that you would go back to Yucheng during the New Year, so what about these cats?"

"Li Yuting will come over every day to take care of him, and it will take me a few days before I go back, probably after the second year of junior high school."

"That's it." Shang Lin nodded.

On the day of the winter solstice, the first snow fell in Yuancheng. Because Christmas was approaching, Bai Xihe put up two Christmas trees in front of the store, hung some small lanterns and the like, and put a small Christmas tree inside the store. One point, there are a lot of small balls hanging on it, and there are notes inside. Anyone who comes to Maocai as a guest during the event will have the opportunity to pick a small ball as a lucky draw. 100% wins the prize, that is, the prizes vary from big to small. Coupons, small plush toys, gift packs of biscuits, everything.

Of course, the biscuits in the biscuit gift pack are all made by Shang Lin. This idea was also thought up by Shang Lin. After all, Maoca has a lot of repeat customers here. Most of the customers are familiar with Bai Xihe. Shang Lin thought of the benefits of the previous 30 fans , just mentioned it to Bai Xihe, and it was considered to attract more business. Bai Xihe readily agreed, and bought the Christmas tree and materials the next day. As written by Shang Lin, the cat cafe has become quite lively in the past two days.

No one noticed it when it started snowing. It was Hu Qing who told the two when he came back from a trip. Yuancheng is a northern city. It usually snows at the end of November. Live, although it has fallen later and later in the past two years, it has become bigger and bigger. The first snow is like a goose feather. Large flakes fell, and after a while, fine and dense snow accumulated on the trees at the door and on the parked cars. One layer, white and clear.

Shang Lin felt that it was a little cold outside, so he leaned on the window and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It will be brighter tomorrow morning, and the air will be much better, right? But we need to put a blanket on the door. I think the two steps are made of marble. Yes, it's definitely slippery when it snows."

Bai Xihe nodded, and hissed suddenly as if thinking of something: "The blanket I bought last year was so dirty that it was stepped on at the door, and I didn't bother to clean it up, so I just threw it away. This year, I forgot about it. Haven't bought it yet."

Shang Lin thought for a while, and said, "I think there is another piece at my place, which is similar to the red carpet. It's not too big, but it's enough to cover your door."

Bai Xihe laughed: "Why is there such a thing?"

"When I was still working in a magazine, someone from above came to inspect the work. In order to show importance, I bought a red carpet. At that time, I was afraid of unexpected situations. The editor asked me to buy an extra three or four meters, but it was useless later. Later, there were still times when I needed to use it, but the length of three and a half meters couldn’t be used for anything, so I just kept it.” Shang Lin smiled helplessly.

Bai Xihe was surprised: "Why are you the one doing the shopping? Doesn't the magazine have any logistics or staff dedicated to this?"

Shang Lin seemed to be stopped by his question. He frowned and remained silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he said "ah", he smiled embarrassedly and said: "I almost forgot, I am When I was working part-time in the magazine, I was still in the second year of graduate school, and I did all kinds of odd jobs, and I should have followed another senior." After that, he mumbled to himself: "It's been so long , can that blanket be an antique? I don’t know if it’s moldy or not.”

Bai Xihe was amused by his series of subconscious little expressions, and couldn't help reaching out to brush the messy hair in front of his ears.

The two of them are just normal friends, and the distance is maintained within the range of politeness. They haven't done anything similar to warmth, so when the warm fingertips brushed their cheeks, Shang Lin's whole body was shocked. Startled.

It's ridiculous to say that after the good feelings he had when he didn't understand anything when he was a child, he has never been in a relationship. When he was in college, he often spent time reading and studying in the library, or he went out to work part-time, not to mention rejecting countless girls. Even boys have never accepted his son's advances, and his roommates laughed at him beyond the six realms, and he was no longer in Wuxing, and he himself wondered why he was so careless.

Shang Lin felt that he was really a person who was not easily tempted, but... the first time he saw Bai Xihe, he had a feeling in his heart, which should be called a glimpse of surprise.

Of course, it is impossible for him to fall in love with Bai Xihe at first sight, but he has never seen a person so pleasing to the eye, and since then he only wants to get closer, and now he himself does not know what he thinks about Bai Xihe.

But... Bai Xihe's gesture, which obviously did not contain any provocation or offense, made Shang Lin's face a little hot, but in an instant, the tips and lobes of his ears turned a little red.

"That..." Shang Lin coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, but he didn't dare to look at Bai Xihe, and continued the previous topic: "I'll bring it to you tomorrow, just make it up, even if it's inappropriate , and it can survive the time you want to buy it."

Bai Xihe looked away from his ears, smiled slightly and said, "Thank you in advance."
