Love is like the hole in a donut

The fact that his abilities are limited is still vivid in his memory, which makes Linsheng feel that the self in front of him is really embarrassing.Maybe it's because I fell in love with a man that I can't match, so this feeling arises spontaneously.

However, Lin Sheng did not want to give up.

Although his behavior of stalking and stalking is like a young kid, he really can't suppress his love for Cang Lin.

He was right ahead, and he still had a chance to see him.Although Linsheng knew that Canglin would treat him coldly, just thinking about the chance to meet again made Linsheng feel his heart beat endlessly.

Canglin should be on holiday today.

After arriving at the gate of Canglin's house, Linsheng parked his bicycle next to the electric pole and looked up at the high fence.A verdant green wall seems to be refusing others to visit.Lin Sheng stepped into the courtyard through the open door, and immediately saw the ground covered with withered yellow leaves, turning into a soft carpet.

After passing through the slightly dilapidated courtyard and arriving at the entrance, the sliding door in front of me opened without warning, making a rattling sound.

While putting on his thin coat, the man stepped out of the door, staring at him with wide eyes.

[Student Uehara...]

[Shop, store manager. ]

Lin Sheng was not ready yet.

[What's wrong? ]

[That's...the store manager, why are you dressed like that? ]

Cang Lin was wearing the uniform of the store, with a coat over his body, and the brown tie of the uniform was tucked into the coat pocket, which looked like a drooping tail.

[Oh, the store called to say that there is a shortage of staff. It seems that some part-time staff suddenly asked for leave today. ]

[Hey, isn't that troublesome?Do you want me to help? ]

[It's okay, it happens often.Besides, you can't do anything other than decorate donuts, right? ]

[I can. ]

[Liar.If you were put in charge of receiving guests, your fierce face would only end up making crying children. ]

The man suddenly relaxed his attitude and smiled wryly. After meeting Lin Sheng's straightforward eyes, his expression became stiff again.

[Stop talking about this... what's wrong?why are you here ]

Lin Sheng leaned forward unsteadily, and Cang Lin took a few steps back, as if even a man didn't know what distance to keep from Lin Sheng.

[About the previous incident... I really like you very much. ]

Lin Sheng didn't prepare any special remarks, but felt that he couldn't help expressing his heart again.After uttering these words regardless of Cang Lin's thoughts, as expected, Cang Lin froze not only his expression but also his body this time.

[Isn't this matter over long ago? ]

[It's not over yet.Since you don't hate me, why don't you just try to date me... Wouldn't it work? ]

[You, what are you talking about? ]

[It doesn't matter if you don't like me!Since you don't hate me, there should be a way to associate with me, right? ]

[What are you talking about?What if I accidentally fell in love with you! ]

Cang Lin replied excitedly, making Lin Sheng's eyes widen.

Cang Lin was also taken aback, and looked away in embarrassment.

[What do you say...meaning, you don't want to like me?Could it be that what you hate... is actually this thing at all?What you hate is not me, but the fact that you like me? ]

[I don't know, and isn't it the same anyway?Anyway, I can't associate with you.I am going out. ]

Cang Lin began to lock the entrance door, but the movements of his hands seemed rather unsteady.His hands were shaking, and he couldn't insert the key into the keyhole after several attempts.

The man lowered his head, and was about to walk past Lin Sheng, when Lin Sheng grabbed the man's hand.

[Wait a moment!you wait a minute!You actually like me at all, don't you? ]

The hand that was clenched tightly twitched visibly in surprise.

[The store manager...Brother Yuhe, that's why you let me mess around at that time, right? ]

[……what are you saying?I do not remember. ]

[How can you not remember?That's what happened two weeks ago!I'm here, in your house...]

[You are just a work-study student! ! ]

Cang Lin shook off Lin Sheng's hand excitedly, his actions and words surprised Lin Sheng very much.

The man stared at his feet, showing an expression similar to the tired side face Rinsheng had seen in the office, and said in a low voice:

[Although you will help in the store for a while, you will resign and leave after a while.Three days if it is fast, and one year if it is slow, I don't have much expectation for student migrant workers.There is no way, reading and having fun is the duty of a student.You...you are just one of many students. ]

Lin Sheng has always known that there is a distance between him and Cang Lin, no matter in terms of age or position, he is not qualified to keep pace with Cang Lin.However, Canglin looked at himself from the same angle as other part-timers, which made Linsheng feel very painful.

[In this case, I will quit my part-time job. ]

Cang Lin looked up at Lin Sheng.

[What……]

[Since that's all you have about me, I'd rather quit this job.In that case, are you willing to tell me the truth?you to me...]

[Ha, are you threatening me? ]

[threaten? ]

[It's because you have no sense of responsibility at all, that's why you say you want to resign without thinking.Whether you like it or hate it, it's just a short-term emotion, and you have no responsibility at all.From these places, you really are just a child. ]

Lin Sheng couldn't say a word.

The sunlight shone through the shade of the trees beside the fence, the light flickered slightly, and the light reflected in Cang Lin's eyes also flickered and flickered.Lin Sheng couldn't figure out whether it was because of his inner emotional fluctuations that made his eyes tremble uncontrollably, and the scene in front of him became like this.

The fallen leaves made a dry sound due to the footsteps of the warehouse.

[ah……]

Lin Sheng could only send out this stupid response.The man turned around and stepped towards the gate of the fence, with his back turned to Lin Sheng, he said:

[I still have a job, so I'm leaving first. ]

Canglin understands.

I said something irrevocable.

He hurt Lin Sheng with a burst of momentum.Obviously Cang Lin just wanted to deceive his timid self, so he wanted to stay away from Rinsheng, trying to keep an appropriate distance from Rinsheng.

A head is in a daze.Didn't sleep very well last night.Yesterday I worked until late at night, and my body was exhausted, but unexpectedly I didn't sleep well, and even the sound of the wind could wake me up.

The glare of the sun is no longer as hot as in summer, shining on Canglin who walks into the national road.

There is a straight road in front of you, and at the same time you can see the top of the mountain in the distance.The top of the mountain was covered with white snow, and the wind blowing down from the mountain coldly hit Cang Lin's body, which was dragging its heavy steps with remorse.

A little stronger, a little more intense.

Even if Cang Lin wanted to let the stronger cold wind blow on his body again, he no longer had the courage to step on the accelerator.Obviously there is a way to run faster, but at this moment there is nothing to do.

Everything made Cang Lin feel extremely troublesome, and he couldn't help thinking that standing still and not moving would be the best way.One car after another passed by him, and after being left behind a few times, Cang Lin even felt that his impatience disappeared.

Canglin picked up the tie that was protruding from his jacket pocket dejectedly, wrapped it around his neck, but suddenly threw it to the ground in disgust.The strip of cloth that didn't make any complaints was still blown by the wind, and finally lay flat on the ground.

Cang Lin stepped forward, walking the distance of two telephone poles, but in the end he couldn't pretend he didn't see it, and chose to turn his head.

He silently picked up the brown strip of cloth lying on the asphalt road, shaking due to the wind, and walked again.Canglin, who couldn't even sit idly by even a tie, slapped the crumpled tie around his neck again, and went to work in the shop.

[The store manager!I'm sorry, you're on holiday today, but you came here to help! ]

Deputy store manager Horii came out of the office to greet Kurabayashi with an exaggerated anxious expression on his face.

[Anyway, I'm just hanging out at home. ]

[I originally wanted to say which part-timer I was looking for...but then I thought about the messy shift schedule and it was a headache...]

The deputy store manager is five years older than Cang Lin, and he doesn't like to make troubles. When he encounters troubles, he often pushes Cang Lin on him.But looking at it from another perspective, he is honest and gentle, and he is quite well received by students studying, working and studying.

[Let me help with the work in the shop. ]

Cang Lin left the office immediately, knowing that there were not enough people in charge of making donuts, Cang Lin quickly washed his hands and walked to the kitchen.Obviously, I haven't operated a fryer for a long time, but I don't feel unfamiliar.

[It's honey donuts, right? ]

Canglin took the prepared dough and put it into the large funnel-shaped donut dough divider.While donut dough isn't as soft as cake batter, it's not hard enough to take on a set shape, and it has to be done quickly and correctly.Canglin held the control handle of the machine, letting the dough that would only form after it touched the frying oil fall into the oven with a thump.Rather than saying that Kurabashi let the dough [fall] into it, it is more like [squeezing and shooting] the dough into the boiler.

Concentration is required during frying.Cang Lin's movements were a little sluggish, and even though he couldn't help but feel a little anxious at first, he soon felt a sense of familiarity, all because this was the scene he saw every day.

The work of frying donuts lasted for an hour, and Canglin even had an illusion: it seemed that he had been looking at these donuts floating in the boiler for most of the day or even several days.

Get up in the morning, put on the same uniform, go to the same store every day
