Love is like the hole in a donut

Too bright and noisy to be of any use.

[Mom, good night. ]

Lin Sheng stepped onto the second floor.

Today, he also regrets it very much.

He wished he could be gentle with his mother.

Treat her tenderly and caringly. If I do so, will I not have to feel regret anymore?

After stepping into the room, Lin Sheng sat down at the desk.When he was anxious, when he couldn't calm down and was restless, Linsheng would suddenly want to sharpen his pencil.Perhaps, Cang Lin couldn't help taking out his phone and staring at it, and it was the same reason.

Obviously Linsheng wants to enjoy the fun and immerse himself in it, but in fact he can only feel that he is escaping from reality.

Linsheng took out a utility knife and pencil from the desk.

[ah……]

Lin Sheng didn't change his clothes, he was still wearing a nylon sports jacket, and the phone in the jacket pocket was vibrating.For a moment, Lin Sheng thought it was Cang Lin calling, but of course it was impossible.I feel that unless there is another problem with the shift schedule, Cang Lin probably won't call him.

It was Ning Yin calling.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time.Lin Sheng didn't know exactly when the two hadn't been in touch, so he couldn't help being a little surprised when he received the call.

"Student Linsheng?Long time no see, I thought something happened to you...』

[Ah...well, long time no see.How are you doing? ]

Although the two are in different classes, they still meet each other more or less in the school corridor.Ning Yin always sticks with her friends, but after the summer vacation and school start, she still doesn't forget to wave her hand gently to greet Lin Sheng.

However, since the end of last month, she would deliberately look away every time she met.From then on, even if the two met each other in the corridor, they would pretend to be strangers, and their eyes would no longer meet.

"I'm doing well...I decided to go to tutoring, so I'm a little busy too.Lin Sheng, you are also busy with part-time work, right? 』

[Oh... well, it should be about the same.You have started tutoring...]

Lin Sheng asked, "Which cram school is it?" ’, but he was not interested in it at all.Ning Yin also seemed to feel that Lin Sheng was actually absent-minded, so she casually brushed it off.After a few non-speculative exchanges, Ning Yin suddenly asked:

"Rinsheng-san, I called today because I have something to ask you. 』

[What's up? ]

"Are we... are we still dating?" 』

Although Lin Sheng had expected it, he still hesitated before replying:

[...I don't think they are dating. ]

"That's right...Although I knew it long ago, I really don't like the feeling of hanging there, so I called.It's been a pleasure dating you, and you've listened carefully to people's small talk...but you don't like me at all, do you? 』

After hearing the girl's question, Linsheng realized for the first time that he couldn't always treat others with an ambiguous attitude.Although Lin Sheng felt that Ning Yin was the same as himself, deliberately pretending not to see each other in the corridor, and both of them knew that this relationship would disappear naturally, but Lin Sheng understood that the person who was actually relieved at the moment It's just me.

[I'm sorry.Although I don't hate you, I also feel that I really can't say that I like you. ]

Ning Yin should have told her this sentence after she confessed.I always use "I don't understand love" as an excuse, and then show an ambiguous attitude. I just think that I don't understand what love is all about anyway, so I arbitrarily think that the other party's attitude is also very frivolous.

Ning Yin only replied "I understand", and then hung up the phone.

[ah……]

Lin Sheng was about to put his phone on the table, when he suddenly realized something.

The answer I gave Ning Yin was actually the same as what Cang Lin threw to me.

——If the other party says they don’t like me, what should I do?

There is no need to worry about everything, and the answer will naturally appear in front of you.

At night, before crossing the gate of the house, Cang Lin put his hand into the pocket of his coat to find the key.

The plants growing along the wall are extremely lush, and the thick greenery forms a high wall that surrounds the whole house and blocks the street lights in the alleys outside, so Canglin must first prepare the key to open the door.The light bulb in the entrance hall has long been broken and has not been replaced with a new one.After his father passed away, Cang Lin began to live alone, even changing the light bulb was too troublesome for him. Anyway, no one else would come to this house except himself.

Cang Lin inserted the key into the keyhole with deft movements in front of the dark entrance, and sighed unconsciously.

There is nothing to be sad about.Today is just as usual, busy selling donuts all day, that's all.Also, before going home, a high school student I met at work confessed to me.

This is an incredible event.

However, Cang Lin already knew about it.

Although the boy didn't say it out loud, Cang Lin had already discovered it during the sex two days ago.However, Cang Lin kept telling himself that was impossible.

Because Canglin was afraid to admit it.

Cang Lin Mingming always wanted to keep a proper distance, but the high school student who looked indifferent, young, and didn't seem to be thinking about anything seemed to always do whatever he thought of, and kept getting closer to him.

Yes, the boy is a high school student.

[... After all, he is only 17 years old. ]

Entering the pitch-dark home, Cangbayashi turned on the light with a snap, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.The black leather sofa was cold and cold, and what happened on Saturday...wasn't in the distant past at all.

The boy recklessly longed for himself, kissed himself, was touched by the boy's lips and hands, and his heart beat so violently.

Disturbed heartbeat, conscious thoughts of love.

Having sex with an underage boy who is a round younger than himself, Cang Lin also feels very uneasy about his conscience.If someone asked about this matter, Cang Lin might use ethics as an excuse, but in fact he was only thinking about himself.

——Anyway, this kind of young boy must get tired of it immediately.

It's not so much selfishness as it is cowardice.Cang Lin knew he was a coward.

In the face of love, Cang Lin is always too used to looking back on the past.Maybe it's because he beautified the past memories by himself, kept looking back and remembering, and kept immersing himself in it for three years, so he cultivated such inertia now.

It was so difficult to even look forward. Although Rinsheng said "as long as you talk about a new relationship" on the observation deck, he could only deny the other party helplessly.And after really getting Linsheng's favor, I really couldn't be frankly happy.

Cang Lin didn't regard Linsheng's feelings as just out of curiosity and belittle him, but the speed of time passing between the age of 17 and the age of 29 is really too different.Anyway, the other party is still very young, at an age where even the height is growing rapidly like a plant.If two people really communicate, the lost moment will always come.

I have been stuck in the same place for three years, but Lin Sheng is completely different from this self.

[Anyway, he will definitely change his mind soon. ]

Cang Lin looked at the carpet under his feet and revealed his heart.He felt a pain in his chest, like a knife cut.

Obviously even he will be hurt by his own words, but Cang Lin really can't pretend that this relationship has not yet sprouted.Even if you don't want to admit it, but love is like this, it always occupies your heart suddenly, that's what love is all about.

Cang Lin couldn't help thinking: Yes, love is like this.

——If someone says he likes me, what should I do?

He had already given the answer to the other party, but the spontaneous question was still hanging in his heart.Cang Lin suddenly thought of something and took out his cell phone from his coat pocket.

Every time I see that piece of information recently, I can't help laughing.After finding "Forest Bear", Canglin selected the operation option from the list.

"Do you want to delete this contact? 』

The moment he was about to press the button, Cang Lin couldn't help holding his breath.But that's all.

So easy.

Just one click, and the contact information disappears.

However, what was erased was obviously Sonoda's contact information, but Cangbayashi felt as if he had erased something more important.

In a rural town proud of its clear air and starry sky, autumn passes very quickly.

On a late October morning, the peaks of the neighboring mountains were covered with snow, and the TVs were broadcasting news of the first snowfall.Although the snow has not yet fallen to the town, it can already be felt that the season is quietly turning from autumn to winter.

On Saturday, Linsheng had an early shift like summer vacation.Linsheng likes the morning shift very much, because he can make a lot of donuts.It has been four months since I worked part-time, and no one is interested in Linsheng's decorative skills. However, Linsheng still likes making donuts, just purely.

But if you schedule shifts in the morning, you have to get off work at dusk.

[Thank you, just leave the rest of the work to me. ]

Linsheng arranged the pink donuts on the tray, and was about to put them in the display case on the counter, but Kurin, who was helping to receive the guests, immediately took the tray over.

[Uehara-san, it’s time for you to get off work, right? ]

[Ah, oh... "OK". ]

The man in front of him smiled, leaving Lin Sheng speechless.Rinsheng untied the bow on his apron, and walked towards the staff locker room, while Kurabashi said to the boy, "Thank you for your hard work today" as usual.

Get rid of the somewhat unnatural attitude of the man, rather than saying that the man is indifferent to him, it is better to say that he is just returning to his original appearance as the store manager.

What should you do if the other party says he doesn't like you?

Can you just give up
