After optimizing the three plans of Qinzhou, Huishi and Luchuan City again, and readjusting the implementation details and time nodes, Gu Chen turned on his phone.

He stared at "1:20, January 23" on the screen in a daze.

The day is almost over.

The phone slowly dimmed in his silence, and then went black.In the black screen reflected by the light, Gu Chenjing saw his own appearance--pale and sickly complexion, warm eyebrows and eyes, and a cold and empty expression.

The existence without temperature and insipidity should be sealed in this quiet and gloomy corner outside the lively and fragrant hot world.

He even saw the dark circles under his eyes that he couldn't suppress.

Take a shower and rest.he thinks.

Suddenly Gu Chenjing heard footsteps, far away, but the rhythm reminded him of Lin Zhuoguang walking fast when he was in a good mood.

Standing up slowly, Gu Chenjing turned his body sideways, as if he was about to enter the bathroom, but he seemed to be nailed in place.

He heard the footsteps getting more and more three-dimensional, approaching little by little.

Walking to the door, Gu Chenjing gently opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Lin Zhuoguang who raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.

Lin Zhuoguang was not surprised at Gu Chenjing's sudden opening of the door, he raised the paper bag in his hand, and smiled silly but clearly: "Look what I brought?"

When Gu Chenjing saw the logo of a well-known dessert shop, he took a step back to make room for Lin Zhuoguang to enter: "Didn't eat?"

"I didn't eat, I didn't have the energy to eat." Lin Zhuoguang raised his foot and walked in.

He carefully placed the paper bag on the coffee table, and whispered to the cracked glass, "It will be replaced sooner or later", and he was afraid that Gu Chenjing would hear it and make him unhappy, so he raised his voice and asked: "I didn't order it." Takeaway. Cook me some noodles."

Gu Chenjing was stunned for two seconds: "Face?"

"Yangchun noodles." Lin Zhuoguang sat down on the wooden sofa, carefully took out the small dark blue box from the paper bag, and put it on the coffee table.

The small box is tied with a gold-edged ribbon of the same color, and a very delicate flower is intricately entwined.

"This is for you." Lin Zhuoguang said.

Gu Chenjing approached, bent down, and without opening the flower, he asked, "Cake?"

"I remember that you don't like too sweet things, so I wanted to buy his 75% black chocolate that is not too sweet," Lin Zhuoguang said with a smile, "It was too late, it was sold out, only strawberry cream cake, you will Just one click."

Gu Chenjing's slender fingers stroked the flowers made of ribbons slightly, without speaking.

Lin Zhuoguang said: "You cook me some noodles first, I'm really hungry."

Gu Chenjing responded, and went to put water in the pot. He said, "You seem to be in a particularly good mood today."

"Ha, I'm going on a blind date tonight." Lin Zhuoguang answered quickly, with a lively and lively tone that could not be hidden.

Gu Chenjing was putting a handful of dried noodles into the pot when he accidentally shook his hand, and the tip of his right index finger touched the edge of the pot.He frowned and looked at the red-hot fingertips, turned on the faucet of the sink, put his hand in and flushed casually.

"The natural blind date failed." Lin Zhuoguang said again.

"Do you want to talk to your grandpa? It's really not appropriate to force a blind date." Gu Chenjing turned off the water.

"What are you talking about? He won't listen if you talk about it. Anyway, I'm going to complete the task. They also want to find someone who can join forces with each other. When they see me as a weak chicken who doesn't need to pretend, they form an instant bond with me." I joined the byebye front alliance." Lin Zhuoguang said with joy, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with not following the career line and only adding dandy skill points, "When I went on a blind date, I thought of you."

"Me? Gu Chenjing watched the vermicelli put into the water change from brittle and hard to soft and slowly bending. After thinking about it, he added a small handful of vermicelli to the pot, "Why? "

"I found the common ground between you and me - you and I can't help ourselves, is this the common ground? So, little lion." Lin Zhuoguang put away his beaming eyebrows, and his words were full of 12 points Sincerity, "Can you not reject me thousands of miles away?"

"When will I take you thousands of miles away?" Gu Chenjing's expression was still calm, but there was a softness in his eyes that he didn't realize.

Like the surface of a frozen lake, it cracked gently and thawed.

The noodles are cooked, a little more than a person's portion.Gu Chenjing put most of it into Lin Zhuoguang's bowl, and then filled a small bowl for himself.

Lin Zhuoguang ate most of the bowl of noodles, only to find that there was a white and fat poached egg lying on the bottom of his bowl. The egg was runny, and when he poked it lightly with chopsticks, the yolk overflowed, and the feeling of richness and warmth also overflowed.

"Hey, you fouled." Lin Zhuoguang tapped the end of Gu Chenjing's chopsticks with the end of his chopsticks, teasing, "Yangchun noodles?"

Gu Chenjing was not prepared for this, the vibration brought by the end of the chopsticks spread to his burned fingers, and he gave a short and slight "hiss" instinctively.

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhuoguang sensitively caught the sound, put down his chopsticks, and quickly and carefully pinched Gu Chenjing's slightly bent fingers, "Are you burned?"

"fine."

"Why are you okay? Your hands are so beautiful, it would be a pity if you left a scar." Lin Zhuoguang carefully looked at Gu Chenjing's fingers. The burnt area was not large, but the skin was torn, and the wound was exposed. He didn't dare to touch it, " Ten fingers to a heart. Do you have burn ointment?"

"No. No."

Lin Zhuoguang let go of Gu Chenjing's hand and stood up: "I'll go buy it."

"Need not……"

Gu Chenjing raised his voice and wanted to stop him, but he was not faster than Lin Zhuoguang, who had long legs and quick movements.

"I'll be right back."

Following these words, the door quickly closed, blocking all of Gu Chenjing's efforts to stop him.

Although the community is old, there is a 24-hour pharmacy at the door anyway.Lin Zhuoguang bought scalding ointment, and bought a bunch of vitamins, painkillers, antipyretics, cold medicine, and Yunnan Baiyao.

In the end, he conveniently added a pack of medical cotton swabs and iodophor at the checkout counter.

It never hurts to have some medicine at home.He was really not sure if Gu Chenjing would tell himself if he was sick, but with these medicines, it was better than lying alone in the cold and drinking hot water.

Already familiar with the roads in the community that lacked lighting, Lin Zhuoguang rushed back to Gu Chenjing's nest at the speed of a race.

This time, Gu Chenjing opened the door without hearing Lin Zhuoguang's footsteps.

Lin Zhuoguang knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened from the inside.

Because the sound of damp and rusty door loose leaves turning was amplified in the middle of the night, and fell in Lin Zhuoguang's ears, from initial harshness to reassurance.

He probed to look at Gu Chenjing, and found that Gu Chenjing was on the phone with his mobile phone in his left hand.

"It's so late..." He couldn't help but muttered in his heart, but he didn't make a sound after all. He closed the door and put down the medicine.

After opening the door, Gu Chenjing sat casually on the wooden sofa.With a cold face, he rarely responded to the person on the phone, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.Xu Xu's right hand on his knee slowly clenched into a fist, which surprised Lin Zhuoguang.

Squatting down, Lin Zhuoguang gently took Gu Chenjing's right hand, slowly opened his clenched fist, pinched his index finger again, and carefully applied the burn ointment on the fingertips.

Gu Chenjing finally hung up the phone, but didn't make a sound, just gently withdrew his hand.

Lin Zhuoguang was still half squatting, at such a height that he could only look up at Gu Chenjing, like a large dog curled up beside its owner, obedient and attentive.

Gu Chenjing's Adam's apple moved, and he made a dry voice: "My mother, she knows that I was removed from the consumption restriction order."

"Ah."

"She wants me to vouch for her again."

"Ah."

"I……"

Gu Chenjing subconsciously wanted to clenched his hand again, Lin Zhuoguang hurriedly took a step to press down on that hand, protecting the fingers that had been coated with scald ointment, and raised his hand in an upward posture to rub Gu Chenjing's wrinkled tightly between the eyebrows.

"You can do whatever you want." Lin Zhuoguang said, "You want to protect your mother, there is nothing wrong with that."

Lin Zhuoguang stood up, patted the back of Gu Chenjing's hand, sat back at the table, and continued to eat the remaining half bowl of noodles.

Gu Chenjing withdrew from the emotions brought about by his mother's phone call, and said anxiously: "The noodles are cold, don't eat."

"No." Lin Zhuoguang seemed worried about who would grab the remaining half bowl of cold noodles from him, and stretched out his hand in a protective gesture, "It's delicious."

He finished the noodles seriously, ate the poached egg hidden at the bottom of the bowl, and drank the soup seriously.

Allowing Gu Chenjing to sort out his emotions and thoughts quietly, Lin Zhuoguang took both his own bowl and Gu Chenjing's bowl to the "kitchen".He squinted his eyes and looked at the constructed pool, carefully thinking about how to wash the dishes and how to dry them.

"You put it in the pool. Put a little water in it and let it soak." Gu Chenjing said.

Lin Zhuoguang hesitantly put water into the bowl, and said intuitively, "Why don't you throw it away. I'll buy it tomorrow...cough cough. cough cough cough..."

Forcibly covering up the intention of committing the crime with an abrupt and contrived cough, Lin Zhuoguang shook the water on his hand: "I'm so tired. Can I live here tonight?"

"Ah?" Gu Chenjing was stunned.

here?The room is cold, the bed is small, this place is not suitable for Lin Zhuoguang?

"I'm so tired." Lin Zhuoguang's voice was vague, as if he was acting coquettishly, "It's too late, you have the cake for breakfast tomorrow. If you want to eat it, even a bite is fine. Next time I will definitely give it to you Buy unsweetened ones."

As he spoke, he took off the handmade thin-soled leather shoes on his feet and put them together on the ground next to the bed, then took off his coat and trousers and got under the thin quilt.

I don't know if he is used to sleeping on his side or deliberately avoiding Gu Chenjing's possible rejection, Lin Zhuoguang slept on the inside of the narrow single bed, facing the wall, leaving the back of his head to Gu Chenjing.

He opened his mouth and closed it, closed his mouth and opened it again, but Gu Chenjing couldn't say anything he thought was appropriate.He glanced around the hut where he could see the whole picture, and considered whether to make do with the night on the sofa.

In the end, he still hesitated to take off his shoes, and shyly got on the bed.

Who let the poor have only one quilt?

Feeling that Gu Chenjing was at ease, Lin Zhuoguang also withdrew his back-of-the-head policy.He turned around and changed his posture to lie flat.

"Today... oh no, yesterday, yesterday was my birthday."

"I know." Gu Chenjing responded softly.

"It passed by without paying attention. In previous years, I would have a birthday party, and a group of people making a lot of noise didn't seem so boring. I didn't do it this year, but it felt very meaningful—except for the feudal superstitious arrangement of a blind date." Lin Zhuo Guang pressed his left hand under his head, as if he was talking to himself, or chatting with Gu Chenjing, "Anyway, rounding up is brushing up his career line, so he can be regarded as a promising young man."

"Ah."

"Next year, my birthday next year, don't slip away..."

Lin Zhuoguang's breathing gradually became longer in this gentle chatter.Gu Chenjing slowly turned his head at a small angle, allowing his eyes to secretly stare at Lin Zhuoguang in the darkness he had adapted to.

Stare at his delicate face lines, high nose bridge, soft lips, and frowning brows.

He stretched out his hand and placed it between Lin Zhuoguang's eyebrows, slowly stroking away Lin Zhuoguang's frowning brows.

In the darkness, the outline of the flower on the cake box on the tea table can still be seen blooming.

Gently leaning close to Lin Zhuoguang's ear, Gu Chenjing whispered, "Happy birthday. I hope you will always be happy."
