white wine boiled glutinous rice balls

Suzhou City, Pingfu County.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiaolu opened the rolling door of the flower shop, and the glass door opened to both sides. She placed a large bouquet of flowers covered with water droplets on both sides to attract customers.

A new day begins, and everything goes as usual, changing water, watering flowers, making phone calls, and settling accounts. After a long time of busy work, the pointer turns to twelve o'clock.

Not long after, the robot puppet at the door said: "Welcome."

Lin Xiaolu put down the ledger in his hand, looked up, and prepared to welcome the first guest of the day.

The first thing she saw was the straight and slender legs, her gaze moved upwards, and she met a pair of bright eyes, gentle and smiling, with shrewdness and tenderness in the eyes, like the bright and bright first quarter moon in the night sky, let People will fall into it if they are not careful.

Lin Xiaolu suddenly thought of a romance novel she found under her daughter's desk last night. She read a few pages, and the male protagonist described in the book seemed to be the man in front of her.

With a handsome face, three-dimensional features, tall and long legs, he is indeed a prince charming.

Unexpectedly, the first business deal was a handsome guy. Lin Xiaolu laughed and said hello: "Hi, handsome guy, just take a look, send it to your elders or your lover?"

The corners of Bai Zuoyao's mouth curled into a beautiful arc, he glanced at the small shop, and said, "Give it to my lover."

Lin Xiaolu pointed to the flowers in the bucket: "Rose, lily, whatever, are you giving to your girlfriend?"

Bai Zuoyao shook his head: "Not a girlfriend."

"Oh, that..."

"It's a boyfriend."

"..."

Lin Xiaolu was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled: "Okay, no problem, let me think about what kind of flowers a man should send to be considerate."

Bai Zuoyao glanced left and right, and asked softly, "Is there a sky full of stars?"

Lin Xiaolu nodded immediately: "Of course."

Bai Zuoyao said, "It's full of stars, he should like it."

Lin Xiaolu wrapped a large handful of baby's breath in light blue wrapping paper, and when paying the bill, she asked if she needed to write a card.

Bai Zuoyao thought for a while, then nodded and said yes.

Lin Xiaolu asked: "What are you writing?"

Bai Zuoyao looked at the colorful stars in the sky, and said softly, "Yanyan, come home with me."

Lin Xiaolu's hand holding the pen froze, and he raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You..."

Bai Zuoyao suddenly laughed, and then showed his cards: "Hi, Miss Lin, I'm here to find someone."

The door of the flower shop was closed, and Lin Xiaolu hung a sign on the glass door, saying "Call if you have something to do, people are in the backyard".

The small shop occupies a small area. It used to be a small restaurant. After Lin Xiaolu bought it, he opened a flower shop. It happens that there is a small aisle of [-] square meters in the backyard, which can store some flowers and a small table for drinking tea.

Lin Xiaolu came over with the brewed scented tea, and poured a cup for himself and the guest: "Doctor Bai, you came so suddenly, please don't be disgusted."

Bai Zuoyao took it respectfully, nodded and thanked: "Thank you Miss Lin for your hospitality."

Lin Xiaolu said: "If you don't mind, call me Miss Xiaolu."

Bai Zuoyao smiled: "Okay, Miss Xiaolu, nice to meet you."

Lin Xiaolu put on light makeup today, and the 37-year-old woman took good care of herself. She smiled, and the corners of her eyes showed tenderness: "Doctor Bai, did you come to Suzhou this time to see Yanyan?"

"Yes, take him home." Bai Zuoyao said very straightforwardly.

Lin Xiaolu lowered his eyes, stroking the teacup with his slender fingers, and said slowly: "Last winter, Yanyan came to me suddenly. To be honest, I only saw him twice since he was born. The first time was in the hospital. , and the second time is Miss Meng He's farewell party."

Sighing slightly, she continued: "Time flies so fast, he has grown so big in a blink of an eye, but I recognized who he is at first sight, he is as good-looking and dazzling as Sister Meng He. , He refused to say anything, he just told me that Yun Yulong was sentenced to death and he didn’t want to go back to Beijing.”

"I can understand that Beijing is a nightmare for him and Sister Meng He, especially Sister Meng He. If there is a chance for her to choose again, I don't think she will embark on the journey to Beijing again."

Lin Xiaolu and Yan Menghe met 20 years ago. They went to Beijing to find a job in the same year. Lin Xiaolu's family was poor and he had no money to go to college. He wanted to come to Beijing before graduating from high school, and Yan Menghe was the same.

The only difference is that Yan Menghe is a person with dreams.

The two met in a youth hostel and lived in an eight-person dormitory in the basement. Lin Xiaolu was on the upper berth, and Yan Menghe happened to be on her lower berth.She was a familiar person, and it was the first time she saw a girl who was prettier than a celebrity at such an age, and she couldn't help but want to strike up a conversation.

Contrary to what she guessed, Yan Menghe is not like a girl in the south who is gentle and can drip water, but a girl in the northeast, with a generous and straightforward personality, chatting endlessly about topics she likes.She also likes to help others, and is willing to help her find a job together if she doesn't mind the trouble.

The two hit it off very well, even with the same interests and hobbies. Lin Xiaolu liked to listen to folk songs since she was a child, and Yan Menghe did the same. She likes music, can play the guitar, and has a beautiful voice.Every night, with a guitar on his back, he brings Lin Xiaolu, who is also cheerful, to Jingba to work.

After a few months, the two moved out of the youth hostel after saving a little money, and found a separate basement to rent together. The life of Bei Piao could not be said to be very good, but the two were optimistic and liked to have fun while suffering.

The peaceful and beautiful days came to an abrupt end because of the appearance of a person, that person was Yun Yulong, a local snake in Nancheng District, a famous and powerful black second generation.

Yan Menghe's looks are too good, she sings well, and looks even better when she smiles. It's hard not to be attracted by Yun Yulong. Ever since he knew there was a beautiful resident singer in Coco Bar, he came to check in almost every night. In the beginning, I just sat at the booth and listened to the music quietly, watching Yan Menghe chatting and laughing with other acquainted guests, and sometimes even drinking together.

Yun Yulong has seen countless people, but she has never seen such a girl who can infect others with her smile, turn all guests into good friends, and make all men respect her.

The more I watched it, the more I liked it, and the more I liked it, the more I wanted to destroy it.

One day, he decided not to bear it any longer, booked the whole bar, offered a sky-high price to ask Yan Menghe to sing, and said that she couldn't stop singing until she vomited.

At that time, Yan Menghe looked at him with disdain and coldness, why did she love to laugh at others, but she had no good face towards him?

Yun Yulong didn't believe in evil, so he grabbed a waiter and asked to accompany him for a drink. Coincidentally, this person was Lin Xiaolu.

Although I work in a bar, this is a quiet bar. Most of the guests come here to understand their worries, and the overall quality is relatively high. This is the first time that Lin Xiaolu was forced to drink by a customer, especially Yun Yulong, who was frightened by the news. up.

Later, Yun Yulong watched Yan Menghe on the stage slowly approaching, and said to him lightly: "Don't make things difficult for my friend, if you want to drink, I'll drink with you."

Yun Yulong smiled, a very satisfied smile, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and soon a younger brother brought a whole box of foreign wine.

He looked at Yan Menghe and thought to himself, if she came to her door automatically, if she dared to speak harshly to him, it would definitely become his meal.

Yan Menghe didn't talk too much nonsense, she was very bold, drank three cups in a row, and said to Yun Yulong after finishing, "Mr. Yun, please."

The corner of Yun Yulong's mouth twitched, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't drink a little girl?

Facts have proved that he really can't drink.

The last realization was that he fell on the table and was knocked on the head, while Yan Menghe was fine as if he had opened a cheat.

Later, in Lin Xiaolu's impression, Yun Yulong came more frequently and began to formally pursue Yan Menghe, but his way of chasing people was a bit different, a fault-finding pursuit.

Yan Menghe doesn't like him, and knows that such a person can't be offended, she decides to resign and find a new job with a guitar on her back, but no matter where she goes to work, Yun Yulong will follow behind her hauntingly, and more and more Going too far.

Because of Yun Yulong's appearance, Lin Xiaolu noticed a change in Yan Menghe, she didn't laugh as much as before, and frowning increased significantly every day.

The days of being harassed continued until one day, it was Lin Xiaolu's rest day, she slept soundly that night, and Yan Menghe didn't come back all night, and when we met again in the morning, Yan Menghe's face was pale and her clothes were disheveled, her hair It's all messed up.

Lin Xiaolu was startled, and vaguely guessed what happened.Having known each other for so long, Yan Menghe is always optimistic and positive. No matter how difficult she encounters, she is very strong, but this time she burst into tears.She leaned on Lin Xiaolu's shoulder, crying very sadly, and was extremely helpless.

Knowing what happened, Lin Xiaolu slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Sister Meng He, let's call the police and sue him for rape!"

Yan Menghe shook her head, and said in a low voice: "It's useless, he is rich and powerful, and he...threatened me with photos."

Lin Xiaolu has little social experience, and she doesn't know how to help her friends, so in the end she can only hug her and cry together.

Later, Yan Menghe planned to leave Beijing and return to his hometown Chengdu.On the morning of leaving, Yun Yulong came to find someone, and took him away without saying a word.

Lin Xiaolu was trembling with fright, and wanted to call the police with his mobile phone, but Yun Yulong's younger brother stopped him, not only that, but also slapped him a few times as a warning.

A few days later, Lin Xiaolu received a wedding invitation, saying that Yan Menghe and Yun Yulong were going to get married.

At that moment, she knew that Yan Menghe had stepped into the fire pit and might never be able to jump out.

A year later, she finally got the news of Yan Menghe. Yan Menghe had given birth to a son. She went to see her, and she was kicked out of the hospital by that pervert Yun Yulong with just one glance.

She found time to meet Yan Menghe, she was still beautiful, but her eyes were dull and full of sadness, until she held her son in her arms, she would smile a little more.

She knew that Yan Menghe was ill, it seemed to be a kind of mental illness, she didn't know how to comfort others, she just persuaded him blindly, she must live a good life.

Yan Menghe showed a long-lost smile, kissed the baby in her arms, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I will live strong for the sake of the child."

There are too many changes in life. I originally thought that I could grow up with my child, watch him grow up, watch him get married, and watch him be happy, but unfortunately I couldn't do it in the end.

Yan Menghe still reneged on her promise, she was not strong enough, and lived in a concentrated burst of suppressed pain every day, she closed her eyes, and finally chose to leave this world.

***

Yunjiu held the phone in one hand and the electric scooter in the other. It was midsummer, and he was sweating profusely after delivering the last order. The person who called him was Lin Xiaolu, asking him if he wanted to go back to the flower shop for lunch.

Yunjiu thought for a while, and replied: "Auntie Xiaolu, I won't go back, I'll take a casual bite outside...it doesn't matter, I'm not too hungry...where am I... .I'm near Times Square...well, see you this afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Yun Jiu put away his cell phone and locked the electric car on the side of the road.It is only two streets away from the flower shop, which is close if you are in a big city, but it feels very far away in this small county.

He didn't go to eat immediately, but turned around and walked towards the pedestrian street, and entered a dessert shop. The teller sister seemed to be waiting for him. Seeing him coming in, he was very enthusiastic and immediately handed him the prepared packing box.

Yunjiu took it, touched the material, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, that... can the cake be sent to the flower shop tomorrow?"

The teller sister said: "No problem."

Yunjiu smiled politely, thanked him after paying the payment, and thoughtfully looked at the chocolate in his hand.

I don't know if my sister likes this birthday gift, but now he is different from before, he doesn't have enough money to buy expensive birthday gifts, so he can only order a cake and a box of chocolates.

Yunjiu pushed open the glass door of the dessert room, the sunlight outside was dazzling, he subconsciously blocked it with his hands, forcing his eyebrows to wrinkle slightly, and then he froze in place.

I only saw a man standing there against the light. This figure was so familiar that he could always dream of it at midnight.He stood there stupidly, thinking that he was dreaming, maybe it was because he had dreamed so many times recently that he couldn't tell reality.

Time seemed to stand still, and the two of them just looked at each other face to face for a long time, as if they were checking each other for any changes.

In the end, it was Bai Zuoyao who spoke first: "Yanyan, you make it easier for me to find you."

Yunjiu's lips parted slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

He thought that he would never see Dr. Bai again in this life.

Bai Zuoyao smiled helplessly, walked towards him, took advantage of his height to help him block the sun, and smoothed his messy bangs on his forehead with his hands, even his voice was familiar and gentle: "Idiot, isn't it hot?"

It's hot...can it be hot...

Yunjiu stabilized his mind, took a step back, and swallowed: "Doctor Bai, why are you here?"

Bai Zuoyao raised his eyebrows, and instead of answering, asked, "What do you think?"

Because of me?

Yun Jiu felt that such a question was too narcissistic, and his face turned a little unnaturally: "Yes... are you here for a medical exchange nearby or something..."

The passion in Bai Zuoyao's heart was quenched by the cold water. He turned Yunjiu's shoulders to make the other party look him in the face, and then showed sadness: "Yanyan, I am for you, I have been looking for you."

Yun Jiu's eyes slowly widened, a little unbelievable.He never expected that Bai Zuoyao would look for him. He thought that such an excellent person as Bai Zuoyao would soon find another young bed partner.

So many nights, he dreamed of another boy standing beside Bai Zuoyao, and many times, he was awakened by this kind of dream.

Yunjiu squeezed the chocolate box in his hand tightly, leaving deep marks on it. Just now he was afraid that it would not be beautiful enough, but now he couldn't control it so much. He backed away a little at a loss. Now he was very confused. Know how to face Bai Zuoyao.

"Yanyan?" Seeing that he was about to run, Bai Zuoyao immediately stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy seeing me?"

Yun Jiu raised his head and stared at him, his heart was pounding like a deer, he couldn't be unhappy, he was so excited!I was so excited that I didn't know what to say.

Bai Zuoyao sighed slightly, and held the person's hand tightly, absolutely not intending to let go, "Let's go, let's go to eat first, shall we?"

Yun Jiu blinked and finally nodded: "Okay, let me treat you."

Bai Zuoyao chuckled and said, "It's not important."

The lunch location was chosen by Yunjiu, a specialty restaurant on the fourth floor of Times Square, and the two immediately attracted a lot of attention after they sat down.

A small county is no better than a big city, handsome men and women are not everywhere, Bai Zuoyao and Yunjiu are extremely good looking, they cannot avoid being noticed.But both of them seem to have gotten used to this kind of gaze.

Sit down and take a sip of tea first, Yunjiu calmed down a bit, just dazzled by the joy of reunion after a long absence, standing in the sun for a long time in a daze, now even the tip of his nose is sweating.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zuoyao took a paper towel to help him wipe off the sweat with great insight, then moved his finger upwards, and gently stroked his soft bangs.

This kind of intimate behavior made Yunjiu immediately blush, and stammered, "Thank...thank you, I'll do it myself."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Bai Zuoyao's eyes, why did Yanyan treat him so badly?

He raised his eyes to look at Yunjiu, he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, Yunjiu had grown a bit taller, but nothing else had changed, he was still as watery and beautiful as when he first saw him.

He wanted to kill this man, but this little wild cat became more and more disobedient. He ran away from home for more than half a year and didn't say anything. He didn't show any happiness when he saw him. Even if he didn't take the initiative to kiss him, he should give him a hug, right?

Doctor Bai is suffering!

But the surface is still amiable, separated for so long, he can't be in a hurry.

Yunjiu was a little nervous under his scrutiny, and the hand holding the menu shook imperceptibly. In order to conceal his emotions, he pretended to be an adult, like a local entertaining foreign guests, called the waiter, and ordered a few special dishes dishes, and very considerately asked Bai Zuoyao if he would drink.

Bai Zuoyao: "..."

How did his Yan Yan become like this!Who adjusted the bag?Give me back the former Yanyan!

Bai Zuoyao sighed silently, glanced at the exquisitely packaged chocolates next to Yunyun Wine, and asked, "Eat it yourself or give it away?"

"Ah?" Yun Jiu was stunned for a moment, "Give it away."

Bai Zuoyao raised the corners of his lips: "Who is it for? Is it for me?"

Facing Dr. Bai whom he had missed for a long time, Yunjiu couldn't say the word "no", so he could only say, "Doctor Bai, do you want to eat?"

Bai Zuoyao smiled and nodded, "I want to eat."

Without further ado, Yunjiu took it to the table and opened it, then handed him one: "Here, I don't know if it will be very sweet."

Bai Zuoyao didn't answer it, and moved his upper body forward, propping his arms on the table, and said, "Yanyan help me take it apart."

Yunjiu bit his lip, now he really couldn't refuse any request from Bai Zuoyao, he obediently removed the chocolate wrapping paper without even taking five seconds of thinking, and then handed it to Bai Zuoyao's mouth: "Eat it .”

Bai Zuoyao lowered his head, bit off the chocolate in one bite, and deliberately licked his fingertips: "Mmm... so sweet."

Yun Jiu quickly withdrew his hand, and almost at the same time, the roots of his ears turned red visible to the naked eye.

Dr. Bai was too bad, and deliberately teased him, knowing that his concentration was not strong enough.

"It's a bit hot..." Yunjiu casually picked up the menu and fanned it, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help asking curiously, "Doctor Bai, you...why did you come here?"

Bai Zuoyao sat upright and said softly, "I said it because of you."

"Because of me..." Yunjiu muttered, "I thought you...have a new boyfriend..."

"New boyfriend? Yanyan, I'm so sad. Have you forgotten what I told you? I've told you all my life. Could it be that my trust is so low?" Bai Zuoyao frowned and leaned back on the chair Rely on it, with an attitude that you have wronged me, apologize to me quickly, and coax me quickly.

"I...I'm actually..." Yunjiu heard him say this, the beauty was bubbling, and his heart was beating like something, "I didn't mean that..."

At this time, the waiter put all the special dishes on the table, and Yunjiu immediately said, "Let's eat first, Doctor Bai."

"it is good."

Bai Zuoyao picked up the chopsticks, he wasn't very hungry, he only cared about helping Yunjiu with food, and he immediately added more after the person finished eating.

Yunjiu was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to reject Bai Zuoyao's tenderness, so he could only lower his head and eat in silence.

I don't know why, after the joy of reunion, he had the urge to cry, maybe it's because he missed these days too much, and he suddenly cried with joy when he saw someone.

After lunch, Yunjiu continued to pretend to be an adult who took the initiative to pay the bill, turned his head and looked at Bai Zuoyao with a teasing look.

Yun Jiu glanced at it, and said: "The visitor is a guest, and I should treat guests." After speaking, he touched his empty wallet.

Bai Zuoyao smiled and replied, "My Yanyan has grown up."

Who is yours?

Yunjiu's face turned hot, and he stared at him. After not seeing him for a few days, Dr. Bai's skin became even thicker.

Walking out of Times Square, Yunjiu went straight to the small parking lot on the side of the road, took out the key and unlocked the electric car.Bai Zuoyao followed behind him, watching his skillful operation, his heart ached.

Although Yunjiu doesn't have a happy native family, he is still a young master who grew up in rich clothes and rich food, but now he does some rough work and runs around every day to make a living.

"Yanyan," Bai Zuoyao suddenly held his hand, the emotion in his eyes was unclear, "I'll take you home, let's go back to Beijing."

"I..." Yunjiu's voice was slightly hoarse, his throat was astringent and uncomfortable, and after a few seconds, there was moisture in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Doctor Bai, thank you, thank you for coming to me, but I'm not that good ..."

Bai Zuoyao lifted his chin, met his moist eyes, and said seriously: "Yanyan, look at me talking, you are very good, in my eyes you are unique and the best."

Yunjiu choked with sobs and shook his head: "I'm not...me, I will bring disaster to those around me..."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm really angry." Bai Zuoyao put on a serious face, stretched out his arms and hugged him domineeringly, "Fool, don't care what others say, I'm enough for you."

Yun Jiu still shook his head: "I'm sorry..."

Bai Zuoyao lamented: "Yanyan, don't tell me you're sorry, okay, I'm afraid."

"..."

Yun Jiu was stunned for a moment, held back his tears, and asked suspiciously, "What are you afraid of?"

Bai Zuoyao lowered his head and pressed a kiss on his forehead: "I was afraid that you would leave, and you hid on purpose so that I could not find you. This feeling is too difficult, and I don't want to experience it again."

Yunjiu gasped for breath, his heart beating like a drum, he stretched out his arms and struggled, trying to get out of the opponent's arms, "Doctor Bai..."

"Let me hug you." Not only did Bai Zuoyao not pull back, but he hugged him even tighter.

Yun Jiu blinked, couldn't take it anymore, complained with a red face, "I'm hot..."

He was indeed terribly hot. In this hot summer, especially with such a big sun on his head, the back of his body would be drenched with sweat. What's more, it was in broad daylight, and many people had already cast curious eyes. There are also secretly taking pictures with mobile phones.

Yun Jiu buried his head even lower, thinking in his heart, he has sent flowers to many shops around him, if he is seen by acquaintances, he will definitely think in the wrong direction, maybe there will be some kind of scandal.

The tip of his nose is a familiar smell, and it is also the smell that he has missed for almost a year. He is annoyed and at the same time has a touch of sweetness.

Great, he saw Dr. Bai again.

Doctor Bai hasn't changed much, he's still so shameless...
