Love is like the hole in a donut

noodle.Canglin once asked him, "Don't you want to join the art club?" ’, as a result, he frowned slightly, and responded, “I’m not interested in clubs, and people used to make fun of me for being a geek”.

Cang Lin really had a hard time imagining Lin Sheng sitting and drawing with a group of people, but he still felt a little pity in his heart.

[Hey, Linsheng, can you give me this painting after buying it? ]

[Uh, why! ? ]

[Because it would be a shame to lose it.You drew this picture on purpose...]

[Brother Yuhe... You are not the kind of person who will leave the wrapping paper and empty boxes behind, are you? ]

[No, idiot... I just want this picture.If you refuse to give it to me, then I won't accompany you to buy things. ]

They have all come here, of course it is impossible for Cang Lin to do this, but this statement seems to be quite deterrent to Lin Sheng, and the boy finally agreed reluctantly.

[Why do you want that paper so much?Your interests are weird enough. ]

Cang Lin just silently thought "Your interest is weird".

I am a round older than the boy, and my gender is the same as the boy. Not only that, but I am also the manager of the boy's work place.This high school student must have a weird head for wanting to date him.

It has been more than three weeks since Cang Lin decided not to use the age gap as an excuse to escape, and Cang Lin feels that he has responded to Lin Sheng's heart.Up to now, Cang Lin didn't intend to change his attitude suddenly and reject the boy easily, but Lin Sheng still seemed to be dubious.Today, Kurahayashi appeared in front of the station at the appointed time, and after waiting for a while, Rinsheng even said happily, "I didn't expect you to come."

Rinsheng is a boy who doesn't have much expression...you can even say that he doesn't have a lot of expression at all, but recently he smiles from time to time.Every time Rinsheng smiles, it will bring a burden to Canglin's heart, but the boy probably doesn't know about it at all.

The boy's smile made Cang Lin's heart skip a beat.Cang Lin has become quite sentimental recently, as if only the heart has turned back into a high school student, and this change makes Cang Lin feel a little overwhelmed.

[This one looks good, and that mug has a strawberry pattern on it, so I'm kind of thinking about... Yuhe Ge? ]

[Wh, what's the matter? ]

Raising his face, Rin was unexpectedly close to him, and his eyes were full of doubts looking here, making Cang Lin almost lean back.

[Ah, um, not bad. ]

Cang Lin, who answered vaguely, couldn't help but start to worry: Has his complexion changed?

Of course, it refers to the discoloration of the face stained with crimson.

Today's itinerary was only shopping, so after a late lunch, the two set off on their way home.Lin Sheng carried the paper bag containing the teacups contentedly, Canglin asked the boy "Do you want to come to my house?", of course the boy agreed.

[You sit down.You drink coffee, right?Would black coffee work?I also have milk at home...]

Cang Lin said as he walked towards the kitchen, while Lin Sheng who was standing in the corridor did not intend to step into the living room, but just kept staring at the stairs.

[Hey, Brother Yuhe, is your room on the second floor? ]

[Um?It's on the second floor...but after all, I'm the only one living here, so every space is like my room. ]

[But the living room doesn't look like it.There is simply nothing of yours. ]

[Well, after all, this is my hometown where I lived with my parents...]

The furniture and furnishings still maintain the appearance of his father before his death.The items stored in the sideboard were either bought by his father, or gifts or souvenirs from others. Most of them were items that Cang Lin did not know where they came from.Cang Lin wanted to sort out his father's belongings quickly, but he didn't have any special insistence on the decoration, and he was overwhelmed by work all day long, so he didn't have much time, so he put it on hold in the end.

[Brother Yuhe, I want to see your room.May I? ]

[My room is nothing interesting...]

Even so, there was nothing in the room that people had to hide, so Canglin decided to lead Linsheng to the second floor.

[The stairs are very slippery, be careful when walking. ]

The light brown staircase looks quite old in order to show the traces and charm of the years. Every time you take a step, there will be a creaking sound of wood rubbing under your feet.Cang Lin recalled how long he hadn't brought anyone to the second floor, and suddenly felt ashamed.

In the room that is used as a dormitory in Changrin, and only comes to sleep, there are still bookshelves and desks from the student days.For Cang Lin, he usually doesn't pay special attention to these things at all, but Lin Sheng is full of interest in the items in the room.

[Hey, don't keep staring at me. ]

[Oh~ Brother Yuhe, so you can read fantasy works and foreign mystery novels? ]

[I bought it when I was in high school.After going to Tokyo, the room has remained the same as when I left home. ]

[Oh, yes, no wonder you have a desk in your room. ]

Cang Lin couldn't calm down no matter what.He fidgeted and watched the boy's movements, and the boy's gaze fell on the shelf by the window as if looking at the next exhibit.

[Ah, that one over there could be...]

[Ouch, don't look at it anymore!Okay, the tour is over, let's go downstairs quickly...]

On the shelf are pottery made during the art class of Canglin High School.He really didn't understand why he cherished that thing and put it in the room at the beginning, but it's too late to regret it now.Cang Lin blocked Lin Sheng's sight, trying to drive Lin Sheng out of the room, but he staggered and stumbled with a "wow".

Because Lin Sheng didn't know what he was thinking, he poked Cang Lin's chest hard.Cang Lin fell backwards without any warning. Fortunately, behind him was a bed covered with a bed bag and a quilt cover.

[Scared me to death...you, what are you doing...]

The spring full of elasticity catches Cang Lin's back, Cang Lin just breathed a sigh of relief, the next second he doesn't know whether it is "lucky" or not.

[Uh……]

Lin Sheng approached without thinking, pressing on Cang Lin's receding body.

[Rin, Rinsheng...]

The boy pressed his knees up, causing the man's heart to pound violently.

[Brother Yuhe, you seem to be very shrewd, but in fact your whole body is full of flaws.Now, let's continue with what we left off last time. ]

[Last time... you didn't plan to do this from the beginning, did you?Now, big, broad daylight, what are you talking about! ]

[It was also broad daylight that day. ]

[You, don't you want to think about who fell asleep halfway through the day in broad daylight? ]

As soon as he was poked at the sore spot, Lin Sheng immediately showed a somewhat irritable expression.

[So let me take revenge, this time I will definitely do it to the end. ]

[You actually used the word "revenge"...]

[Then if I change my words and say challenge again, try again... will you let me do it? ]

Cang Lin originally thought that Lin Sheng was joking, but it seems that the boy is quite serious.The boy pressed his shoulder harder, and Cang Lin hurriedly replied:

[The request is dismissed. ]

[Why! ? ]

Rinsheng looked as if he hadn't expected to be rejected at all.

[Because you are a high school student. ]

[What and what, didn't you say that you would no longer take the age gap to heart? ]

[That's why I'm dating you like this.But, it's just...that matter and this matter are two different things, and I always feel that it cannot be justified morally.

On that day, if the two had gone to bed like this while full of excitement, Cang Lin might not have thought so much.However, because the boy "did half asleep" that day, it ended as if it was a joke, so Kurabashi had time to think about it calmly.

[At least until you graduate from high school, I'll think about it. ]

[...I still have more than one year to graduate?Also, why are you putting on airs and using a tone of preaching to me? ]

[I didn't deliberately put on airs to preach... Besides, I have to go to work in the store this evening.I told you beforehand, didn't I? ]

Cang Lin thought to himself: The boy should give up if he pulls out the work, right?But unexpectedly, Rinsheng made an unexpected response.

[Oh, store manager, since you have to go to work today, I should go to work together. ]

[The request is dismissed. ]

[Why?Can't I go and help in the store? ]

[Of course not.You are not a full-time employee, but a work-study student, so you must take a good break.Isn't it the student's duty to study?Companies can't abuse work-students. ]

[What, brother Yuhe, you are not my guardian, how can you just...]

The boy deliberately sighed loudly, but Cang Lin just looked up at the boy fixedly.Even looking up from this angle, Lin Sheng's face still looked upright and delicate, with slightly long light brown bangs scattered down, shaking lightly.

The light coming in from the window shone through his hair, which looked quite moving.

[Since you came to work in the store, things in the store have really been resolved a lot. ]

[real? ]

[Why did I lie to you?Didn't I always remind you clearly at the beginning? ]

Reminding Linsheng once to do this, reminding Linsheng to do that again, complaining endlessly.

However, I was staring at each other with Linsheng on the bed where I usually woke up, and it felt really strange.

The boy I was looking up to seemed to have seen through the thoughts that had sprouted in my mind, and his face began to approach slowly.the bed is still quiet
