Love is like the hole in a donut
Chapter 21
work.Four donuts are packed in paper bags, and more than four donuts are put in the box.The shop is all mechanical repetitive work.Cang Lin thought to himself: Don't go home at all, just stay in the donut shop forever.
But even if he didn't want it that way, it's pretty much the way it is now.
If Rinsheng quit his job, he would definitely be in a hurry before finding a new part-timer.
Thinking of this, Cang Lin seemed to feel that Lin Sheng had really left.
I hurt Linsheng severely.Linsheng showed a deeply shocked expression at that time.
The boy said he liked himself.Even though he is a person with no merits, the boy still says he likes him, but he——
Holding the long metal chopsticks that looked like long wooden chopsticks for cooking, Kurabashi turned the donuts floating on the oil, and then heard Moriyama who was kneading the dough beside him saying to himself:
[Store manager, what's wrong with you? ]
Cang Lin just stared at the donuts in the frying pan, and replied:
[Nothing's wrong. ]
[But, but...that's...]
Looking at the obsessive man beside him, Cang Lin realized that he was looking shocked.
Cang Lin felt something sticky hanging from his cheeks to his chin.
[Huh……]
The liquid slid down his jaw drop after drop onto the tiled floor.Although the temperature in front of the fryer in the kitchen is high, it is not sweat.The water kept sliding down from the corners of Cang Lin's eyes.
[What, what's wrong! ? ]
It seems that Moriyama is not so much surprised that Kurabayashi is crying, but he is more surprised that Kurabashi didn't realize that he was crying.
Moriyama's voice was heard at the counter, and even the female worker and student in front of the cash register turned their heads.Being watched by everyone, Cang Lincai felt very embarrassed as if he suddenly woke up from a dream.
[Ah, sorry.I'm fine, nothing really. ]
[Store manager, although you said nothing, but... are you feeling unwell? ]
[Body?Haha, my body has always been uncomfortable. ]
My heart always hurts like a needle.
Because he dumped the boy.Because I deleted my old lover's phone number from my phone.Cang Lin seemed to have lost the little joy in life in an instant, and felt that everything had become so boring, as if he had lost hope every day.Even if Cang Lin pretended that he was normal in the store, as soon as he got home, his chest would start to hurt again.
So lonely, so uncomfortable.As long as you accept the boy's love, even if it is short, you can at least see a sweet dream——I clearly have these thoughts in my heart, but I repeat the same mistakes again and again.
[Shop manager, don't force yourself! ]
[Sorry for disturbing everyone today.However, I'm really fine. ]
[But since you're not feeling well, it's better to go home and rest, right?We always have a solution for things in the store. ]
Isn't it because everyone is really too busy and can't solve it, so you call yourself here?If Horii, who is always locked in the office, can be more united and help the work in the store, there may be a solution, but Kurabayashi thinks that Horii cannot be counted on.
[I'm really fine, so...]
After coming and going, just when Cang Lin was about to convince the other party, a voice came from the counter.
[That... the store manager, we will try our best to help! ]
[what? ]
No wonder Cang Lin couldn't help but ask back.
The one who said that was Tianmaru, a female university student who was always read by herself and bad-mouthed herself later.
[You... want help? ]
[Because... store manager, aren't you feeling unwell?You've told me to leave work early before. ]
On her birthday, Tian Maru said that she was dumped by her boyfriend, and she couldn't help crying.Perhaps her mood was the same as her own at the moment, but Cang Lin didn't feel forgiven for her at that time.
He just couldn't stand it.I regarded her as a child, looked down on her, and didn't even have the slightest sympathy for her——
[Store manager, I will definitely help you seriously! ]
The sun is still high in the sky.
After leaving the store, Cang Lin looked up at the sky, the dazzling sun made him squint his eyes.Under the joint persuasion of everyone, Canglin fried donuts enough to fill the display cabinet in front of the counter, and decided to leave and go home.
He really never thought that one day he would be saved by a work-study student.However, my condition is not good today, and it has nothing to do with my body.The underlying problems are not addressed at all.
——Anyway, let’s apologize first.
Canglin, who was on his way home, came to this conclusion.Although Cang Lin knew that this was wishful thinking, but after all he said such hurtful words, he should apologize for this alone, so Cang Lin took out his mobile phone from his jacket pocket.
Cang Lin stepped across the bridge deck across the small canal and walked towards the small road where the houses were clustered.This narrow road can lead to Cang Lin's house. The road is not wide, and the two cars have to work hard to pass each other and continue.As he walked on the road, he kept thinking about how to speak, and when he was about to reach the door of his house, he finally pressed the dial button.
Then he froze.
At the same time, the melody sound from the mobile phone came from the other side of the wall, which surprised Cang Lin.The bicycle was still parked next to the utility pole.Cang Lin hurried to the entrance, and found that Lin Sheng was still in front of the entrance just like when he parted.
[The store manager...]
The boy was sitting in front of the concrete steps under the eaves, holding the mobile phone to his ear, and the boy's voice also came from the mobile phone in Cang Lin's left hand.
[Student Uehara, didn’t you go home? ]
[I want to apologize to you before going home.I just said I was going to resign out of impulse, which made you angry, so...]
[I, I should apologize.I actually confuse you with those migrant kids who quit after a short time...]
Cang Lin is at a loss for words.
Lin Sheng worked very hard, almost making Cang Lin feel that the miserable situation at the beginning was like a dream.He is so reliable that he cannot be confused with other part-timers at all, and he is not only needed for work.
However, Cang Lin couldn't say a word, not because he felt that he couldn't express himself well.
It's because nearly two hours have passed since I left.The boy was wearing the same light clothes when he came here, just to say sorry, so he has been waiting here.
[...You don't want to do this. ]
Cang Lin said painfully.
[Why are you waiting for me here?I obviously didn't tell you when I'll be back, did I?It's impossible for the work to end immediately. Maybe I may stay like usual and stay until the store is closed before going home. Why are you waiting for me! ]
[But... the store manager, you are back now. ]
[It's just a coincidence!It's just that everyone just happened to call me home, so I came back.Knowing that my off-duty time is not fixed, why are you waiting for me here like an idiot?This really gives me a headache...very annoying!I... I really don't want to fall in love with you. ]
Cang Lin weakly lowered his left hand holding the phone.After lowering his head, Lin Sheng who was sitting on the ground could clearly see his expression.
[……Why? ]
Lin Sheng asked, his voice was calm, as if he was afraid that speaking too loudly would scare him away.
[Because you are a high school student.You're only 17 now, aren't you?No matter how much you don't want to admit it, no matter how much I pretend to be stupid, this is still the same fact...]
[You hate children? ]
[Of course I hate it.Because when the time comes, I will definitely be devastated... If I fall in love with an underage person and get dumped by the other person in the end, the adult will definitely suffer.Anyway, you will get tired of me soon...]
The toes of the cloth shoes moved in front of my eyes.
Sensing Lin Sheng standing up, Cang Lin was visibly frightened.Lin Sheng must be angry—Cang Lin thought so and froze, then the boy who stood up and leaned towards him smiled softly.
Haha bitter laughter came from the head.
[it's wired.You say you hate me, that I'm a child, but I think it sounds like you're saying you like me. ]
[Huh……]
[You seem to be saying to me...you like me, you like me very much, and you don't want me to hate you. ]
[You, what are you talking about...]
[I won't get bored.Brother Youhe, I promise, I will always like you... In this case, are you willing to like me? ]
[You, you idiot!Only a child would say such a simple thing!Lack of thinking, only seeing the present...]
Cang Lin retorted unwillingly, raised his face slowly and looked up at the boy, and then couldn't help being surprised.
The boy looked at himself with a kind of happy eyes, which made Cang Lin not know how to react.
Things obviously shouldn't have developed like this, but the person in front of him has seen through all the thoughts in his heart.
The rest of the perfunctory prevarications were all just to cover up embarrassment.
[No, anyway, I really don't understand why you like me so much. ]
Cang Lin had no choice but to ask back.
Lin Sheng did not respond with any high-sounding reasons, but only said:
[In terms of work, I thought you were not a bad person at the beginning, and then I gradually felt that you are a good person.Obviously, everyone is perfunctory, but you are the only one who has been working hard. ]
[I'm the store manager, so it's only natural to do so.To be praised like this by you who are younger than yourself is really... I actually just have a responsibility, so I stay in the store all day long.Repeating the same thing every day, I feel like an operator on a certain production line...]
[not yet
But even if he didn't want it that way, it's pretty much the way it is now.
If Rinsheng quit his job, he would definitely be in a hurry before finding a new part-timer.
