the sun never sets

The autumn evening darkened a bit quickly, Lin Ji didn't put on enough clothes when he went out, and was blown by the autumn wind, so cold that he shrunk his hands and gasped, jumping and stepping on the floor tiles in the square, trying to warm himself up through exercise.

There was a burst of sweet sweet potato aroma in the air, Lin Ji couldn't hold it back, he walked to the side of the street and waited outside the circle of people around the stove of hot sweet potatoes, and ordered a lot of sweet potatoes from the stall owner without even breathing.

The uncle who sells sweet potatoes is thin, wearing an apron as if he was wrapped in a sack, and his skin is also dark, with traces of wind and sun.When he laughed, his face, which didn't have much flesh, was covered with wrinkles, but his tone of voice was raised, and his voice was full of air.

"Take it, it's a big sweet potato."

The stall owner's tone was up and down, and the end of the sound was very long. Lin Ji stretched out his hand to pick it up, but was scalded by the sweet potato that had just been taken out of the oven, so he withdrew his hand and shook it.

The stall owner just laughed at him. His hands are thin and tender, unlike him, he is not afraid of holding coals.

Lin Ji took the bag and felt much better. He walked to the side and carefully took out a piece of sweet potato. After eating a few bites, he suddenly realized that a black car parked across the street was very familiar.

He was chewing sweet potatoes, bent down and glanced at the license plate, and after confirming that it was Jiang Ye's car, he hurried over.

It is conceivable that Jiang Ye must have watched his series of actions just now, and he doesn't know what kind of evil this person is, and he always likes to stay silent.

Before Lin Ji got into the car, he hurriedly swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth, opened the car door and got in.

Jiang Ye soon smelled the overly sweet sweet potato fragrance on his body, he glanced at Lin Ji and asked lightly, "Are you hungry?"

Lin Ji was very embarrassed. He remembered that Jiang Ye didn't like smelling things that smelled too strong in the carriage. During the autumn outing in high school, Lin Ji sat next to Jiang Ye on the bus and peeled an orange to eat. Jiang Ye frowned. all the way.

Lin Ji could only put the sweet potato into his arms, trying to cover up its smell, and nodded slightly.

They sat like this for about 10 minutes, and Jiang Ye took the lead in breaking the too dull atmosphere in the carriage: "You can eat."

Jiang Ye's voice was a little soft, Lin Ji couldn't hear it clearly, he asked suspiciously: "What?"

Jiang Ye frowned slightly, Lin Ji didn't dare to ask anymore, he secretly covered the bag with his clothes, touched his nose and began to think about whether he should sit far away from this big Buddha.

"You can eat in the car." Jiang Ye repeated his own words, his voice was much clearer, "Aren't you hungry?"

Lin Ji didn't have the guts to eat in Jiang Ye's car. He first leaned against the car window with sweet potatoes in his arms, and then carefully and secretly straightened his legs, relaxing his sitting posture, and keeping his upper body upright, which was so awkward After a few minutes, Jiang Ye spoke again: "Why don't you eat?"

Lin Ji: "It will dirty the car."

Jiang Ye stared at him for a long time, and Lin Ji wanted to put his coat on his head, so as to block Jiang Ye's probing eyes.

Jiang Ye stretched out his hand and tapped the sweet potato in Lin Ji's arms: "It's just right, I'm hungry too, peel one for me to eat."

Since Jiang Ye was hungry, Lin Ji obediently took out the sweet potatoes, picked the biggest one and slowly peeled off the skin on the top of the sweet potatoes, and then handed the half-peeled sweet potatoes to Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye smiled, and instead of taking the sweet potato from Lin Ji's hand, he said with great interest, "You really look like a little daughter-in-law."

Lin Ji was speechless, and the disgust on his face was undisguised: "The little daughter-in-law takes care of the husband who is paralyzed in bed?"

Lin Jiben said these words with a sense of death, and he was ready for Jiang Ye to change his face on the spot and throw him off the car, but Jiang Ye didn't seem to be angered at all, instead he laughed out loud. He lowered his head and took a bite of the sweet potato from Lin Ji's hand.

"Eat the rest, it's too sweet."

Lin Ji looked at the sweet potato that had been bitten, and hesitantly withdrew his hand, neither throwing the sweet potato nor eating it.

Jiang Ye seemed to talk a lot today, and he didn't stay silent for a few seconds before continuing: "Lin Ji, when you first saw me, it was like a mouse seeing a cat."

After a long time of mental construction, Lin Ji made up his mind to break off the piece that Jiang Ye had bitten, and eat the rest by himself. He chewed the sweet potato and said vaguely, "It's not that exaggerated."

Jiang Ye watched him eat the sweet potato with his head down. Lin Ji probably wanted to keep his face. After taking a bite, he carefully licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, for fear that there would be pieces of sweet potato on his face. I wanted to grab Lin Ji's slowly moving cheeks.

He held back, Jiang Ye clasped his hands and put them on his knees, he followed Lin Ji's words: "Are you afraid of me?"

Lin Ji ignored him, Jiang Ye usually didn't talk that much, but now he was asking the bottom line, stubbornly wanting Lin Ji to make a statement.

Jiang Ye's expression became a little confused, he was wondering when Lin Ji became more and more unfamiliar with him, and even evolved to be so afraid of him in the end.

Lin Ji is timid, and he would hold back for a long time when others frown, but Lin Ji doesn't seem to be like this to him.

Such as trust, dependence, and even willfulness, Lin Ji has shown him before, but those are fleeting, and before Jiang Ye realizes, Lin Ji starts to avoid him.

Then, nothing happened between them.

Jiang Ye never felt that the words "died without a disease" hurt people so much. He thought that losing something that never existed would not cause much pain to people.

It turns out that people will still brood over the illusory thoughts that they have never owned before.

Lin Ji didn't speak until he finished eating the sweet potatoes, with a helpless tone: "I'm not afraid of you...Jiang Ye, I just..."

Lin Ji didn't know how to express his current feelings accurately. After much deliberation, he only had one sentence: "I feel timid when I'm close to my hometown".

Jiang Ye used to be his place of residence for a period of time, Lin Ji left him for a long time, and approached him again, but he was even more afraid to approach him.

Most people are like this, there is the most beautiful corner in their hearts, and when they see each other after many years of trekking, they will be afraid that the wind and frost on their body will be too heavy, and they will also be afraid of tearing the false curtain of time, and find that it is just a place full of holes and sadness.

What's more, he and Jiang Ye did not part peacefully in the end.

"Anyway, I'm not afraid of you." Lin Ji simply became a rascal.

Jiang Ye closed his eyes and said with a smile, "It's much more fun to refute my vigor than being like a log."

Lin Ji felt that there was probably something wrong with Jiang Ye.

When Lin Ji arrived home, the nanny had already prepared all the meals. Lin Ji showed her the sweet potatoes he bought, and the nanny smiled and said, "Autumn is here, so I want to eat some roasted sweet potatoes."

The nanny put the sweet potatoes into the container and suggested, "Mr. Lin, if you like to eat them, you can ask the farm to send some over in a few days."

Lin Ji didn't know the situation of Jiang Ye's family. He was vague about Jiang Ye's financial situation, so he turned around and asked Jiang Ye in surprise, "Do you still have a farm?"

"It's not all mine." Jiang Ye didn't laugh at Lin Ji again, and said patiently, "There are some sheep, cows and so on there. If you are bored, you can go and visit."

That's no need, Lin Ji lowered his head to eat, but couldn't help but said: "Is the lamb cute?"

After getting Jiang Ye's affirmative answer, Lin Ji couldn't help showing his yearning expression.

The charm of a sheep is bigger than itself!

Jiang Ye was a little upset, but seeing Lin Ji's high interest, Jiang Ye didn't dampen his interest.

After dinner, Lin Ji wanted to sneak back to his room, but unfortunately he was caught by Jiang Ye and called in the living room.

"What are you doing in the hospital today?"

"I went to buy some sleeping pills, and I've run out of sleeping pills." Lin Ji told the lie that had been going around in his stomach for several times. In order to increase the authenticity, he also took out the sleeping pill bottle that he had prepared earlier, "Look."

Jiang Ye put one hand on the wheelchair, covered his mouth as if he was thinking seriously, and mercilessly exposed Lin Ji's lies: "What did the psychiatrist say?"

Lin Ji sat on the soft sofa feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. He almost wanted to bounce away and run away the moment Jiang Ye opened his mouth. He didn't expect that Jiang Ye already knew about it, and the only one who knew about it was his grandfather.

However, when the Jiang family chooses a marriage partner, they must collect all the information. It is not difficult to know what is going on with Lin Ji.

"She said..." Lin Ji's throat choked, and his words suddenly froze. Jiang Ye's beautiful eyes were looking at him seriously, neither aggressive nor impatient, just looking at him peacefully.

This made Lin Ji feel very comfortable, and he said the following smoothly: "She said I'm much better now."

Jiang Ye put down his hands: "But you have been unable to sleep recently."

"This is normal." Lin Ji felt that Jiang Ye knew too much.

Jiang Ye nodded after listening, and said slowly, "It's okay, Lin Ji."

Lin Ji's hanging heart fell firmly to the ground, he tightened his fingers, Jiang Ye noticed it, and put his hand lightly on his, his hand was big and warm, which made Lin Ji move uncomfortably.

"It's not a big problem." Jiang Ye looked at the time, "I'll make an appointment with your psychiatrist, don't be nervous."

Lin Ji suddenly wanted to hold Jiang Ye's hands back, those hands looked reliable and kind.

Lin Ji moved his fingers, but pushed Jiang Ye's hand away. He stood up nervously: "I see, I'm much better now, don't worry."

Jiang Ye withdrew his hand at the right time, raised his watch again to check the time, and said to Lin Ji, "Go and rest first."

"Good night, Lin Ji."

Lin Ji stood at the stairs and looked at him. He touched the escalator several times without falling on the escalator. He stood there in embarrassment and said in a panic: "Good night."
