Love is like the hole in a donut

It seemed as if the man's faint surprised sound could be heard.Lin Sheng naturally quickened his pace, and then suddenly slowed down.

Because a familiar figure of a man quickly appeared from behind Cang Lin.

[The store manager~! ]

It was Zhong Chuan's voice, his voice was as loud and clear outside as it was in the shop.It was so loud that even passersby turned their heads to see what happened.

[I found it, and it was on the cash register! ]

He was holding a small paper bag in his hand, Lin Sheng didn't care about this, but...why would Cang Lin be with Zhong Chuan?Isn't Canglin on vacation today?Judging from the fact that he is wearing casual clothes, the possibility of a man going to work today is close to zero.

If you were so obsessed with it, you could just go up to the man and ask the man, but Lin Sheng didn't do that.Cang Lin had clearly noticed him, but Lin Sheng turned his gaze away and walked past the man expressionlessly.

In fact, Lin Sheng didn't want to ignore Cang Lin, but in the end he still chose to do so.The option of approaching and talking quickly disappeared from Lin Sheng's mind, as if a thick glass wall suddenly appeared between him and Cang Lin.

Rinsheng hurriedly walked towards the ticket counter, Yagizawa asked in surprise:

[Rinsheng?What's the matter? ]

[No……]

why?As soon as he saw Cang Lin and Zhong Chuan, a wave of unhappiness swept over him.Lin Sheng felt in a terrible mood, as if a stranger he had never met had rushed into the house rashly pretending to know everything, not only that, the stranger was still staying at home, not at all intend to leave.

[Don't think you can hide it to the end.I'll definitely try to raid the store next time I get a chance.I will specially set aside precious days for you without tutoring... You still don't thank me? ]

Yagizawa, who had just passed by Kurabayashi but didn't know it, said this to Rinsheng with a smile.

In the tram, Zhong Chuan stood on the handrail near the entrance and exit, shrinking his broad shoulders in regret.

[Shop Manager, I'm sorry, if I hadn't forgotten to pick up the things I bought just now, I would have let you go home earlier and asked you to wait for me...]

[No, don't take it to heart.I'm on vacation today, and I'm fine.Zhong Chuan, you should go to the store later, right?Everything in the shop is up to you! ]

Cang Lin tried his best to move his gloomy face, showing the store manager's smile.

I ran into Zhong Chuan by chance on the road.There was nothing to do on vacation, so Cang Lin went out to buy some things in the afternoon, and walked around the department store, Zhong Chuan stopped him.Probably because there are no people in the department store on weekdays, so it is easier to be recognized.

[Okay, I will work hard!Thanks to the store manager, I was able to buy things smoothly!That's one less worry! ]

Zhong Chuan said in a loud voice that the passengers sitting on the seat would glance at here in surprise, and at the same time he raised the bag in his hand happily and waved it in front of Cang Lin.It contained women's accessories, Zhong Chuan asked Cang Lin to accompany him to choose a gift for his girlfriend, but in fact Cang Lin didn't know what girls like.In the end, the main person responsible for coming up with ideas is still the female salesperson at the counter.

But for Zhong Chuan, it should be a big problem for him to go to the counter alone, right?

Cang Lin asked him, "Why don't you invite your friends to come with you?" ’, and Zhong Chuan shyly said, ‘Because everyone made fun of me’.For Zhong Chuan, even getting a girlfriend is a big deal.Thinking of the man in front of him at such a young age, Cang Lin couldn't help but smile.

[Your girlfriend will be very happy. ]

Although Cang Lin raised the corners of his mouth, he had one more worry.

No, instead of saying "more", it would be more appropriate to say that troubles "become bigger".

Thinking of the moment when Lin Sheng rolled his eyes away, Cang Lin once again showed a melancholy expression.The familiar scenery flying by outside the car window is still orange due to the setting sun, but in Cang Lin's eyes, it looks like a gloomy sunset scene.

That is definitely not an illusion.Lin Sheng obviously met his eyes, but pretended not to see it.Is he still angry about what happened yesterday?Or was it because he was still in his uniform after school and seemed to have friends around him, so he didn't want to meet me?If Linsheng seeks a date with a person of similar age, it can be resolved with a few conversations such as "who is that?" become so complicated.

——Oh, what can I do...

This sentence of passive giving up that hadn't appeared for a long time came to Cang Lin's mind again, Cang Lin couldn't let the tense expression ease down, and his heart was full of gloom.

Of course, Cang Lin and Zhong Chuan, who was going to work, got off at the same station.Pretending to be calm along the way made Cang Lin a headache. After saying goodbye to Zhong Chuan on the way home, Cang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The sun has disappeared into the shadow of the mountain, and many stars are gradually climbing into the night sky. Time is speeding up towards the end of today.Canglin walked on the cold street against the wind, bending his body like resistance, and when he saw his own house that could calm him down a little, he reached into the pocket of his coat.

He was used to taking out the keys early on, before the walls that surrounded the house.The sensory light bulb outside the entrance turned on, Cang Lin couldn't help being startled, and then immediately thought: Oh, right, Linsheng said before that "the dark is very dangerous", so he took out the light that had been broken for a long time and replaced it with a new one. A new light bulb.

Until now, Cang Lin is still not used to the dazzling light of the light bulb.Cang Lin's body has gradually gotten used to the life without the light outside the porch over a long period of time, and has already fully adapted to that feeling.

But if he completely loses the light in front of him at this moment, then he will definitely not be able to adapt.Once you feel how good it is to have the light shining on your hand, you can never go back to the uncomfortable gloom.

Cang Lin unlocked the door and entered the house.Even when he got home, he was still in a bad mood.Not only that, but after closing the sliding door, it felt even more gloomy.At that time, shouldn't you have hurriedly asked Rinsheng with a smile, "Why are you pretending you didn't see it~"?Should pat the boy on the back in uniform, like a no-nonsense high school peer—

[...How is it possible, I am already 29 years old. ]

Not only that, after the national calendar, I officially entered the [-]th mark.

Cang Lin dropped a complaint that couldn't solve the matter at all. Although he just pushed himself to the end of the road, it might be better after speaking out. At least this can be regarded as a new beginning, and Cang Lin's mood gradually improved.

No matter what, Cang Lin felt that he should leave the entrance first.

He took off his coat in the lighted living room and slumped on the back of the sofa.Canglin suddenly realized that he forgot to buy a bento. He expected to buy it at the convenience store in front of the station. He couldn't help worrying about dinner for a while.Although I'm not in the mood to cook now, I really don't have the energy to go out again.He walked towards the kitchen cabinet, ready to look for instant noodles, at this moment——

The porch doorbell rang.

Of course no one agreed to visit Canglin today.Cang Lin tremblingly walked towards the entrance with a feeling of surprise. Through the sandblasted glass on the sliding door, he could see the figure of a tall boy shaking slightly like a fish in a glass tank.

You don't need to open the door to make sure, just rely on the silhouette of Canglin to know who is coming.

[Linsheng, why did you come here? ]

Cang Lin who opened the door widened his eyes.

Rin couldn't stop panting.The boy swallowed his breathless breath irritably, and stared at the front of the corridor, as if he was spying on the situation inside. After a while, the boy's eyes turned to the shoes lined up in front of the entrance, and then looked at the warehouse again. Forest.

[You, you are at home, where is Mr. Zhongchuan? ]

[What? ]

[Aren't you, were you, with Mr. Zhongchuan just now?I saw, you took the train together... I, originally went home, but, still, I feel a little minded...]

Shouldn't it just be "somewhat"?Lin Sheng seemed to be rushing all the way, that's why he was so out of breath. Seeing Lin Sheng like this, Cang Lin was only surprised and confused.

[Why do you think Zhong Chuan is at my house... don't talk about it, come in quickly. ]

Cang Lin called Lin Sheng into the house from under the lamp outside the porch.

[He has already gone to work in the store, isn't he scheduled for an evening shift today? ]

It should look like "what are you talking about" expression on your face, right?Lin Sheng's cold voice came from above.

[Brother Youhe, I'm not like you, I don't remember his shift schedule at all. ]

[I am the store manager, so of course I must grasp the shift status of each employee. ]

[...Of course I know about such trivial things, I just feel unhappy on my own. ]

[Unhappy...? ]

Lin Sheng, who came to visit suddenly, said words that were completely beyond Cang Lin's imagination.

Lin Sheng was about to speak, but closed his mouth hesitantly. After taking a deep breath, Lin Sheng said:

[I seem to mind his existence, who taught him that he is a newcomer who knows how to work better than me.Not only that, but he's older than me, and you compliment him, and you two sometimes sneaky chats, and you even let him bring home tree donuts...uh, what the hell am I talking about ?The donut thing isn't the point at all, so it makes me feel like I'm a glutton...]

Lin Sheng spat out words like a machine gun, and then made a distressed sound like being shot.

It was the first time Cang Lin saw Linsheng like this—no, when Linsheng rushed here on a bicycle that day, he also showed this kind of look
