Love is like the hole in a donut

Weak and unable to climb out of the bed, he has been waiting for his mother to come up to the second floor to visit him, but he feels that his mother is not the only one at home.

If only someone came to visit, this situation is really a bit strange.Lin Sheng dragged his heavy body down the stairs, and then saw his mother staying with a man he didn't know.

They didn't chat like normal people, and they didn't sit side by side on the couch.

Lin Sheng didn't go back to the second floor and just left the house.

With nowhere to go, he wandered around the town.It was probably because of walking around all the time that caused the body temperature to rise even more, and when the sun was setting, Linsheng finally decided to go home, his whole body was already shaking.At this time, the man was no longer at home, replaced by his older brother who had returned from school and was studying in junior high school.

He was severely scolded by his mother and brother.

They said: You are obviously not feeling well, why do you still run out and wander around?

Lin Sheng didn't refute a word.

From that day on, he no longer knew how to get along with his mother.

However, he still couldn't help observing his mother's behavior.He put a wall between himself and his mother, and getting along with his mother with such an attitude, he couldn't help wondering whether his mother was cheating again?

Is that an error only once?Only that day, Linsheng clearly confirmed the fact that his mother had an affair.But the father didn't know.Before Linsheng's father went to work alone in other places, he was already a person who put work first, and didn't care much about the situation at home.He mistakenly believed that as long as the family's financial needs were met, he was fulfilling his father's responsibilities.

Mother may be very lonely.

As Linsheng grew up, he gradually understood this point.

However, understandable and acceptable are two different things.Until now, as soon as he stepped into the house, Linsheng would compare the scene in front of him with the picture in his memory like picking bones in an egg, and treat his mother who was waiting for her son to return late with an indifferent attitude.

Linsheng stepped up the stairs leading to the second floor with painful emotions, and said "good night" to his mother in a deep voice.

Lin Sheng is no longer a child, he doesn't want to admit that he is still somewhat traumatized.

This may be the reason why the store manager overreacted when he mentioned the topic of the third party earlier.

Linsheng has already learned the meaning of the store manager's mobile phone.He also knew that he really wanted to know the truth at that time and couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he asked the answer in a rather outrageous way.Of course, this is the first time he has done this.

Even if he knew that Canglin was gay, Linsheng surprisingly didn't feel the slightest disgust.Linsheng had only seen the man in uniform, and always felt that he seemed to be homeless.Maybe it was because of this, so Rinsheng couldn't imagine him having sex with another man at all.

Although he said a lot, the store manager still misses the man in the phone book, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Sheng felt a little unhappy.

Once a problem is solved, a new one pops up immediately.

Linsheng originally wanted to fall on the bed and just lie there, but in the end he didn't do that, but sat down at the desk by the window.

I always feel that I may not be able to fall asleep lying down.The information he just learned kept spinning in his mind.Why are these things just not willing to get out of your head?I feel as if I am being dominated by Cang Lin, and it is really annoying to have my heart shaken up and down.

In order to change his mood, Linsheng opened the drawer.He pulled out a brand new pencil and utility knife from the desk side cabinet.

Even the moment when he was slowly getting ready to start sharpening the pencil, the man who had just separated from him not long ago and all kinds of men, flashed in his mind involuntarily.

[It turns out...the store manager can also fall in love. ]

Cang Lin called Lin Sheng from the office, and Lin Sheng answered it after one ring.

[Student Uehara, is it already seven o’clock? ]

The next night, Lin Sheng, who was on the evening shift, did not come to work for a long time, so Cang Lin finally had to call.

"Seven o'clock? 』

[Don't you have a six o'clock shift?Why didn't you come to work?can you come over nowThe kitchen is a bit busy right now...]

"Oh, um..."

Lin Sheng's voice sounded like he didn't care much, and even made people feel like he was pretending to be confused.

He's probably still at home, right?Within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone, Cang Lin heard a voice coming from the back door.

The door slammed open, and then the locker rattled.Only then did Cang Lin hear the voice coming through the thin wall, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Sheng, who was buttoning his uniform, appeared.

[Shop manager, I seem to be... late, sorry. ]

If you are late, you will be late, so there is no "likeness".

[Why are you late? ]

[Today...is...how should I put it...]

Although this big boy usually seldom speaks, he will answer everything Cang Lin asks him so far.

The boy now looks like he can't speak, is it because he feels that what he wants to say is really hard to tell himself?

Something embarrassing happened between the two last night.Although Cang Lin didn't think that Lin Sheng would refuse to come to work because of this, but from the beginning of the morning, Cang Lin also felt that the two of them might be a little awkward when they met today.

[Are you late because of me? ]

[what? ]

[Didn’t what I said yesterday surprised you?I... I also feel that it was too hasty for me to tell you those things. ]

Lin Sheng's fingers stopped, and the button of the shirt closest to the throat was still unbuttoned.

[You mean... you wish you hadn't said anything yesterday?] ]

[right.My boss has done morally flawed actions, and if you don't want to continue working under me, I have nothing to say. ]

[boss……]

Lin Sheng seemed quite dissatisfied.

If it's not the boss, what else is it?Isn't the manager of a donut shop worthy of being called a boss?

[It's normal for you to look down on me.People can’t change their past, so I really can’t…]

Raising his head, Canglin was quite surprised by Rinsheng's expression.Cang Lin did have a good self-reflection, but for some reason, the more he opened his mouth, the colder his expression looking down at him became colder.

I felt the terrifying aura emanating from Lin Sheng's eyes staring at him.

He's still thinking about yesterday—no, is he angry now?

[U... Uehara classmate? ]

Lin Sheng lowered his head as if he was about to break his neck.

[Shop manager, do I... seem to care about you that much? ]

[what? ]

[Please don't be so narcissistic. ]

Lin Sheng's head was lowered, and it was impossible to see his expression at the moment.But the words he dropped suddenly made Cang Lin completely at a loss for words.

[Store manager, you just told about your past, I will not skip work for such a trivial matter.You don't have that much influence over me.Absolutely not. ]

Linsheng said "no" twice as if trying to convince himself, Cangbayashi still didn't know what he was angry about, so Linsheng said "I'm going to work", and then left the scene.

Cang Lin, who was left alone in the office, could only stand there in amazement.

Although Canglin wanted to continue to deal with the unfinished paperwork, his mind was full of distracting thoughts and he was always affected by various thoughts.He clicked and clicked the mouse, and then the company's internal phone rang.

"The store manager~ Noda-san called you. 』

[Noda-san?Ah, oh, good...]

At the same time that Cang Lin absent-mindedly responded, the internal line phone suddenly hung up with a click, and the phone of a male migrant student who dialed in from the outside line was connected.

Before Cang Lin asked the other party what's the matter, the boy immediately said in a very flustered voice:

"I'm sorry, I forgot that I have a shift today! !I obviously asked Uehara-san to switch classes with me, but...! ! 』

[What……? ]

Cang Lin turned around reflexively.He looked at the schedule on the wall, but the schedule was the same as he had confirmed several times in the past, and there was no trace of alteration.Noda hurriedly explained apologetically: "I have something to do next week, so I asked Uehara-san to change shifts with me..."

After hanging up the phone, Cang Lin hurried to the kitchen.Not so long ago, the kitchen was like a battlefield, but now it has completely returned to calm, and everyone is doing the work at hand.

Rinsheng was facing the workbench that was usually used to decorate donuts.

Walking towards Linsheng, he seemed to have long eyes behind him, and asked directly without looking back:

[What's wrong? ]

[Noda-san called just now. ]

Cang Lin looked at his back and froze in shock.

After only one sentence, Lin Sheng already knew what he wanted to express.

[……Right. ]

The boy didn't seem to intend to look back, but continued to move his hands silently, and Cang Lin didn't say anything more, and returned to the office.

The two didn't talk again until after finishing all the chores before closing the store.

[I took these back with me. ]

Rinsheng was carrying the bag of donuts as usual, ready to go home.Cang Lin asked him:

[Why didn't you tell me that you changed classes with Noda-san? ]

[It's just... I feel like I'm not ashamed of Noda-san. ]

It turned out that he didn't refuse to speak, but he couldn't speak.

[Sorry, really sorry. ]

[sorry?What do you mean? ]

[It's just... I'm sorry for both things.I mistakenly thought that today was your class, and then I thought it was yesterday's incident that made you feel awkward today and didn't want to come to work.real
