Love is like the hole in a donut

Linsheng doesn't hate making donuts, on the contrary, he quite likes it.Although the reactions of those around him were exaggerated, he didn't feel uncomfortable.Coupled with the fact that he could still be praised by the store manager who usually muttered endlessly, Lin Sheng felt that this job was quite good.

Although Linsheng thought the store manager was wordy, he didn't hate the store manager.Whether it's to smile at customers, or to tie up your hair...what the store manager said is true.

——Is the store manager really an "uncle"?

This is what female part-timers call the store manager.

The uncle in Linsheng's mind should be a middle-aged office worker wearing a mouse-colored suit with a protruding belly and an arc-shaped belt.I feel that the store manager is far from the uncle with this image.

Lin Sheng had been working in the kitchen, and it was already eleven o'clock when he entered the office.Although it was still early, others advised him to take a lunch break while there were not many people in the store.

Linsheng was about to step into the office lined with gray desks, but he stopped immediately.

Canglin is also inside.

He was standing in the office leaning against the desk.His thin body made his shirt look loose, but his uniform with a tie fit his age well.The slightly melancholy side face, and the standing posture staring at the items in his hand, in Rinsheng's eyes, he doesn't look like an uncle at all.

He looks only handsome with a mature air.

Then, at the same time, Rinsheng couldn't help thinking "Here we go again".

He was looking at his phone again.

When did Lin Sheng first see him like that?The store manager sometimes stares at the phone stupidly in the office.He wasn't texting or operating his phone.Linsheng had accidentally seen that the screen he was staring at was actually the screen of the phone book, but he didn't seem to want to make a call at all.

Then--

[What, what's wrong? ]

Cang Lin quickly put the phone face down on the table.

As soon as Lin Sheng approached, he would obviously panic and cover the phone screen.Such an action looks even more suspicious.

[Ah... sorry, I want to take a break. ]

[Oh, oh, yes.You can sit wherever you want.You're supposed to be having lunch, right? ]

Linsheng prepared the bento he bought earlier and sat down at the corner table.

Because the store manager deliberately concealed it, Linsheng was even more curious about the secrets in the phone.The store manager sat on the other side of the diagonal and began to operate the computer, and the mobile phone was placed next to the keyboard.

A mobile phone is like a mirror that reflects a person.This very serious sentence was told to Rinsheng by his childhood playmate, Xiaopo - Yagizawa.

The blue cell phone looked old and covered with bruises.The mobile phone's charm is an old dog doll, hanging from it as if dead.Cang Lin, who is always nervous and nagging about SOP and SOP all day long, seems to be very shrewd, but in fact he is a little loose, giving people a faint feeling of being off-line.

Speaking of which, he had the same attitude when he decided to hire himself.

[Shop manager, is work fun? ]

Lin Sheng also didn't understand why he suddenly asked this sentence.Cangbayashi on the other side of the computer screen looked here in panic.

[what? ]

[It's nothing... It's just that I used to think this job seemed to be very hard. ]

[It's not very fun.I really envy the students who can have summer vacation.Anyway, this is a job that "doesn't even have any dreams or hopes"? ]

Cang Lin said with a mocking smile.Lin Sheng felt as if he had heard the same words somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

[Shop Manager, have you been here for a long time? ]

[Are you saying that I have been the store manager for a long time?No, I just became the store manager this year, and this is my third year in this store. ]

[Yeah, then why did you come to work in this shop? ]

Linsheng asked repeatedly, which made Canglin show a surprised expression.

[…Why are you asking me these questions? ]

[Huh?No... just because you said "not very fun", so I want to ask why... Ah, did you not realize that this is such a job before you applied for it? ]

[It was because my father fell ill.I quit my job in Tokyo and came back here, but it's the countryside and there aren't many jobs to choose from.Alas... my father was cremated last year, and I really have no reason to stay here now. ]

[cremation……]

In other words, Cang Lin's father has passed away.

Lin Sheng heard Cang Lin mention his private life for the first time.

Linsheng has been working here for more than a month. He has never seen the store manager arrive later than himself, nor has he seen the store manager leave work earlier than himself.Linsheng always felt that this older man who had nothing to do with him in the past seemed to come out of nowhere every day, and stayed in the store all day long.

Doesn't look like a homeless person.

He's always here.

Always in the same uniform—

Wouldn't he be tired?The students at the school felt that such a rule was too unreasonable and complained endlessly just because they had to go back to school for three days during the forty-day summer vacation.

No, the store manager must also feel very tired, that's why he said this job is "not very fun", right?

Lin Sheng stared fixedly at Cang Lin, and Cang Lin suddenly smiled wryly, and said:

[Uehara-san, so you can talk and chat normally. ]

Although the summer vacation time passed faster than usual, nothing special happened during this period.

Lin Sheng had a vague premonition in his heart, always felt that this summer vacation, it seemed that a major event that could become a lifetime memory might happen.But he also vaguely understood: there must be no big event, time will just pass by like this.

Nothing changed, it was the usual summer.

Enjoy getting a tan with your friends by the beach, pitch a tent for the night watching the stars, watch the fireworks together and feel nostalgic for the fading summer...that's all.

Since Rin's first love affair, most of his contacts are girls.

[Then, after I asked my father, my father bought it for me.He said he couldn't tell Mom the secret, so I kept it hidden in the closet.Before my mother tidied up my closet without my consent, I was so nervous~ Fortunately, I didn’t find out in the end~]

Linsheng sat on the seat of the tram.Chattering on the side was the person Rinsheng had been dating since before the summer vacation - Aikawa Ningyin from the next class.

Tram carriages in the evening are drowsy.After coming back from the swimming pool, his body was a little heavy and tired, coupled with the comfortable and cool air-conditioning in the car, Lin Sheng was about to doze off, but fortunately, Ning Yin's high-pitched voice retained Lin Sheng's remaining consciousness.The thing she has been talking about endlessly since just now is the thing she insisted on buying for today's date... no, it was the gorgeous high-heeled sandals that she asked her family to buy for her.

[Look, is it cute? ]

[so cute. ]

From time to time, she would ask Lin Sheng to respond a little bit, so Lin Sheng answered her questions wisely.She opened the chatterbox again with peace of mind, which Linsheng didn't care about, but Ningyin started chatting about fashion topics that Linsheng didn't particularly want to hear, friends of friends he didn't know, and he had never seen it before. And TV shows that I don't plan to watch later.

[Rinsheng-san, you are really tall.Even if he wears high-heeled sandals, he is still shorter than you... He feels so happy!Because people have always wanted to have a boyfriend who can wear high heels and still be taller than others. ]

The transfer station was approaching, and as soon as Lin Sheng stood up, Ning Yin said happily.

Ning Yin was wearing a miniskirt with a pair of slender legs under the skirt. Her figure was like a model, and she was also very tall, maybe around 170 centimeters.She seemed to feel a little inferior about her height, and she had told Linsheng before that even if she dressed herself up, she didn't have the courage to wear high heels like everyone else.

[Ah, I'll get that for you. ]

Ning Yin was holding a big bag containing swimsuits and swimming rings, and she seemed to be struggling. Lin Sheng took the things in her hands, and the two walked off the platform after arriving at the station.

[Thanks.Lin Sheng, you are so gentle.Before I talked to you, I always felt that you seemed scary...]

[fear?me? ]

[Um.Because I always feel that your whole body exudes an aura that is difficult to talk to, but I heard that you are actually not that scary. ]

[oh……]

Although Linsheng didn't know who was behind him to say good things for him, but is there really anyone in this world who would fall in love with someone who was originally considered "scary"?

Ning Yin walked vigorously, the white high-heeled sandals on her feet looked so dazzling.The beautiful Ning Yin attracts everyone's attention with every step she takes; walking beside her, she feels like a puppet she brings with her.

——Could it be that she was attracted by my height, so she confessed to me?

Even if this is the case, Lin Sheng is not particularly surprised.Although Linsheng is very popular, he knows that his appearance is the main reason for his attractiveness.Obviously the other party has hardly spoken to me, but he came to confess, presumably the reason for the confession must not be due to "personality".

However, Lin Sheng didn't feel disgusted because of this.

Anyway, that's probably what love is all about.

All people are the same.Junior high school, high school... no, it's been like this since elementary school.Linsheng is always very conspicuous in class, everyone always
