Lin Cong actually just posted posts according to the date.Just upload all the photos taken one by one, paste them in that post, and attach the name and introduction of the food, and that's it.But it’s probably because the colors and shapes of the food put on it are exquisite and beautiful, and there’s an indescribable taste in it—Lin Cong always keeps making it when he misses his mother—it’s a sight to behold. It's hard to forget.

Therefore, after only two or three days, each page of [-] posts has turned several pages.Among them, the photos posted by Lin Cong occupy only dozens of photos.

Later, because there were too many people pouring water, the only moderator—that is, the altar owner, Taotie, re-opened a new post, and re-uploaded the food photos sent by Lin Cong, and set that only the altar owner can open it... So, there is such a dehydrated version.

Lin Cong has no opinion on this, but he himself will regularly post a batch of photos every Sunday.After all, as a high school student at the time, he only had one day off per week.

He has always been a good student who completes his homework on time and studies step by step.Results have also been in a good position.

...Even if Shen Qingrong died, Lin Cong didn't want to disappoint his mother.

What Lin Cong posted today were several snacks and a cup of soup that he made before going to Lin Wuyan's funeral.

At the same time, this is Shen Qingrong's best cooking skill.

In order to let Lin Cong feel her care every moment, Shen Qingrong, apart from putting in great effort on dinner, also studied and even developed a lot of pastry recipes by herself, packed them in bento boxes, and asked Lin Cong to bring them every day. to school.Over the years, it is natural to practice the good craftsmanship of making various pastries.

And the ability to make soup and porridge... comes from Shen Qingrong's loving heart.

Lin Cong grew up thin and small, which made Shen Qingrong, who was busy with work, very distressed, so she changed her tricks and learned to make various soups and porridges. She had to cook a pot in three or two days, for Lin Cong. Cong nourishes the body.After her death, Lin Cong frantically delved into the "notebook" left by Shen Qingrong for a period of time, which introduced various dishes that Shen Qingrong thought she made the best and most useful.Soups, porridge and pastries make up a large portion.

Therefore, every time a photo is taken, Lin Cong will always make a set of pastries and soup or porridge with the pastries to commemorate his mother.

Gradually, in the past three years, Lin Cong's tricks have hardly been repeated, and he has gained a bit of fame in this small food forum.

Just after the "Yin Yang Lotus Cake" and a bowl of "Rose Three Silk Soup" were passed on, Lin Cong received a private message from someone.

It is also one of the functions of the forum... And Lin Cong also only set this person as a contact person.

This person can be regarded as Lin Cong's only friend at present.

Although only online.

The acquaintance of the two people was not too big, probably after Lin Cong sent the photo for the first time, before the others could react, they suddenly received a private message.

At this time, Lin Cong hadn't had time to block it... He didn't know that he would be bombarded by different people later, and the notifications asking him to send private messages kept ringing.

In this way, Lin Cong got in touch with the person whose ID is "Yuan Yuan".

The first private message of "Far away" only said one sentence: "Did you make this red round dessert?"

Lin Cong—ID "Lin" of course replied: "Yes."

So the conversation that follows is as follows:

Far away: "I haven't seen it."

Lin: "I tried to do it myself."

Far away: "What is the material?"

Lin: "Red beans, flour, milk, eggs."

Far away: "It should be very sweet."

Lin: "Neutralize it with flour."

Far away: "Oh. Is it delicious?"

Lin: "...Maybe."

Then the two discussed the other kinds of food that Lin Cong put up. "Yuanyuan" is obviously a food lover, but it seems that he can't reach the level of "veteran".He doesn't know how to taste at all, he only guesses the taste based on his impressions, and most of them are wrong...But for some reason, maybe because he saw the need for food in this "distant place", Lin Cong didn't feel that the other party was arrogant, but instead Don't hate conversations with yourself "from a distance".

This is probably also related to the tone of the "distance" speech.

In Lin Cong's view, "Yuan Yuan" might be a person who is not very talkative like himself.Although he sent a private message on the Internet and did not know the identity of the other party, he also spoke briefly.

It is also because of this that soon after, even though all other private messages were blocked, Lin Cong still kept the "far away" who was already somewhat familiar with him and whose words were not annoying.

Even now that the two of them are already acquainted, the tone of "Yuanyuan" has not changed much.

In the distance: "Lin, what does Yin Yang Lotus Cake taste like?"

Lin: "The black one is grape cake, and the white one is pear cake."

Distant: "Sounds normal."

Lin: "It's very normal."

Yuan Yuan: "Actually, you can make a variety of flavors."

Lin: "Big platter?"

Yuanyuan: "...it would be nice if each piece of cake could have several flavors."

Forest:"……"

It is not the first time that "Faraway" has made suggestions, but there are only a handful of reliable suggestions.This time, too, it falls into the unreliable category.

Although it is said that many kinds of fruit flavors can be added to one cake, it is also difficult to distinguish the various flavors...if you are not careful, it will become an unpalatable mixture.

Or there are very good pastry chefs who can do it, but Lin Cong has not yet reached that level.

Perhaps it was Lin Cong's silence that made the other party realize once again the lameness of his suggestion, so he immediately changed the subject.

Yuanyuan: "Lin, I heard you finished the exam?"

Lin: "Yes."

Far away: "Will you cook food all the time during the summer vacation?"

Lin: "...Yes."

"Distance" was silent for a while.

"Far away": "...Which school are you going to attend?"

The two have been together for more than a year, but this is the first time that they have asked Lin Cong for real news from a "distant distance".

Lin Cong hesitated a little.

The other party probably meant that they wanted to meet...to turn friends on the Internet into friends in reality.

but……

It's nothing to communicate online, Lin Cong is not sure about getting along in real life.

He has always been a boring person, and he is not good at interacting with people, and the "distance" looks the same. If we meet, can we really continue to be this kind of friend who is not salty or not?

To be honest, although "far away" has few words, it is precisely because of this that Lin Cong does not reject it.Moreover, the content of the conversation between "Far away" and Lin Cong is always related to food, which makes Lin Cong feel that "Far away" is with him and misses Shen Qingrong... a little relieved.

After the reality, perhaps such a good impression will disappear.

It is more likely that the other party left because of Lin Cong's withdrawnness.

Lin Cong was wondering if he really wanted to accept a friend.

He has been alone for too long.Not to mention taking the initiative to meet anyone.The only person who has been together for a long time is "Far away", and the one who may be accepted by him as a friend in real life is only "Far away".

Lin Cong was not indifferent.

Moreover, Lin Cong likes to make food, and "Yuanyuan" likes to eat.

If you really get along well...

Lin Cong thought, maybe there is no need to store the prepared food every time.

After thinking about it for a long time, "Yuanyuan" seemed to understand Lin Cong's hesitation, and never urged him.

Lin Cong thought a lot.

Later, he finally made up his mind.

Because of Shen Qingrong.

When Shen Qingrong died, she once held his hand and said a word.

She smiled at that time and said that she hoped his son could learn to communicate with other people and learn to make friends.

Shen Qingrong has always understood her child very well, and at the same time, she is also very worried.She understood that when she was around, her son's loneliness could be relieved a little bit, but if she left, what would Lin Cong do?

So I had to leave such a last word.

She knew that because of this, her children would think about it more or less.

And Lin Cong really thought about it.

Originally, after Shen Qingrong passed away, he was quite autistic for a while, feeling as if he was the only one left in this world.It was only after I got on this forum and got acquainted with "Yuan Yuan" that I gradually recovered.

Even if Lin Cong didn't mention it, "distance" has become his only expectation besides sharing his mother's specialty food online every week for others to appreciate.

Although this kind of expectation only exists in the virtual, it is very plain, but it does exist.

So, now he wants to really add this kind of expectation into real life?

If this was included in the mother's wish, Lin Cong accepted it.

...Even if he failed in the end, he must have made a little effort for his mother's last words.

So Lin Cong replied a private message.

Lin: "I have already received a notice from S University in City A."

The detailed school name and city are clearly stated, which is also the first step in deciding to really make friends.

At the same time, it was Lin Cong's temptation.

The other party seemed a little surprised.

Yuan Yuan: "...you are going to become my junior."

Forest:"……"

In an instant, Lin Cong was also surprised.

This is really... what a coincidence.
