Complaints, you know? "

"I know, don't worry."

"Okay, you go to work, I'm going to work too." Ms. Xu took the salted apples I had just cut into the study.

I blinked and went into the kitchen to do another wash.It's just that this time I didn't handle it so carefully, I just ate it with the tap.

The cake was freshly baked, and I tasted a piece, but it was a little denser, and the taste was pretty much the same as the one I made before.I randomly took a picture and sent it to Wen Bai, but he replied soon: When will you bring it to me to taste?

Me: Are you at the hotel in the evening?When does work end?

Wen Bai: Now I'm eating out with Sun Yinan, and I'm going back after eating.

I checked the time, and it was indeed time for lunch, but Ms. Xu had no intention of cooking.And suddenly, on a whim, I wanted to eat pizza.After packing the cake, I walked to the study, knocked on the door and opened it and asked, "Mom, shall we have pizza for lunch today?"

Ms. Xu was working hard and said casually, "Okay, you decide."

Ms. Xu has a picture album to be published next spring, and she is still short of a cover. After I got home, she finally started to work with peace of mind.I couldn't bear to disturb me any more, so I backed out gently.

I ordered a durian pizza and another Hawaii which my mother loves most, then I leaned back on the sofa and lazily replied to Wen Bai: Then I will find you in the afternoon.

Wen Bo: OK, give me a message in the lobby, it is the one we often go to.

I saw his message clearly, and instantly slapped the phone face down on the sofa.My earlobe couldn't stop getting hot, and I thought to myself: I only go there a few times a year, can this be called frequent!

◎Until death◎

After taking a nap, I tidied myself up and left the door refreshed.

Although the weather is cold, there is no need to worry about the cake going bad under the hot sun.I tightened my scarf and got on the bus, wandering to my destination.

The slow revolving door led me into the lobby. This hotel does not have the splendor of other people's homes, but the gray and white marble tiles are not lost, faintly revealing the high-level minimalist style that everyone prefers.

Sitting on a soft sofa in the lobby, I called Quince.Without a room card, outsiders cannot take the hotel's elevator.

Soon, a man in a white shirt and trousers came out of the elevator.Just looking at it this way, Wen Bai is still very elegant and handsome, but if you look down a little bit, the pair of disposable hotel slippers are really conspicuous.

I watched him walk over, stood up from the sofa, and didn't forget to bring my cake.

"Did you bring the whole thing?" Wen Bai graciously held my hand as there were people coming and going in the lobby.

I tightened my five fingers and answered him at the same time: "It's a good idea, half."

There is no extra music in the lobby, only the sound of women's high heels and the water of the indoor fountain.It's the same as when I first came, but a little different.

When I got into the elevator, I saw Wen Bai pressed the 24th floor, so I couldn't help but ask, "It's the 24th floor again?"

"It's not just the 24th floor." There were only the two of us in the elevator. He turned his head and kissed me on the corner of my mouth: "It's still 2408."

There is still surveillance in the elevator, I rolled my eyes and pushed the cake to him: "You take it!"

Wen Bo smiled and took it, just as the elevator made a "ding" sound, and the door opened.

There are thick elevators in the corridor to ensure that the employees and guests coming and going will not disturb the people who are resting in the suite.

"Why did you come down today wearing slippers? You don't care about your image?"

"It's not that I came down to pick you up in a hurry."

"Oh—" I dragged my voice out.

While speaking, we have already reached 2408, Wen Bai walked in front and put the cake on the table, and I walked behind to close the door.

"When are you going to go home to see Uncle Wen?" I closed the door and asked with my back to him.

Before I turned around, Wen Bai leaned up, wrapped his hands around my waist, and gradually tightened it.He whispered in my ear: "Is it evening? You go with me."

"Tonight? Then my appearance may add fuel to the fire."

Wen Bai groaned and chirped in my neck: "Did you change the shower gel?"

"No," I grabbed his hand and turned around forcefully, "It seems that your dog's nose is not working."

Today is a sunny day, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are full of sunshine. I can't help but think of the living room of Wen Bai's house, although I haven't been there for almost a year.It was rare for me to take the initiative, raised my eyebrows at him and said, "Handsome guy, do you want to go to bed?"

Wen Bo was amused by me, and then kissed him fiercely.The corner of my mouth hurt, probably because of his canine teeth.

"Hiss, what are you... eh!" In a whirlwind, I was thrown on the bed by Wen Bai, and I was completely cleaned up before I had time to settle my account with him.

After the battlefield was cleaned up by Wen Bo and replaced with new dry sheets, I nestled next to the bed and ate the cake I brought.Wen Bo leaned over and put his head on my shoulder: "I want it too."

I wanted to cut the already scalloped cake even smaller, but the cake was so tough that the plastic fork was too much work on the paper plate.

"You can eat it just like this." Wen Bai wrapped his hands around me, picked up the fork, and put the piece of cake I bit into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" I can't wait to get his evaluation.

"That's right," he said while nodding, "This kind of cake will definitely lose money if you go out to do business."

"Then I can sell it by the catty, so I won't lose money."

"Let's make a strawberry cake next time."

"Okay, now is the peak season for strawberries." I stared at the corner of his mouth covered with cake crumbs, and quickly licked it.

Wen Bo was stunned for a second, then passed me and put the fork and paper plate on the bedside table, and said helplessly: "Go to sleep, don't seduce me anymore. Do you still want to go home with me at night?"

The room was properly heated, and Wen Bai's body temperature was on the high side, so I couldn't help sticking my feet out of the bed.

"Put your foot back," Quince said to me with his eyes closed.

"I don't." I replied weakly, curled up against his chest.

Afterwards, Wen Bai stretched out his long legs to pinch my only remaining leg under the blanket, and asked in a threatening tone: "Have you said yet?"

I had no choice but to take back the protruding leg, but I accidentally touched a certain part of him. The most terrible thing was that I didn't realize where it was at first, and I rubbed it ignorantly.

"Lin Cong!" Wen Bai gritted his teeth, "You really don't want to sleep?"

Considering that there might be another meal tonight, I nodded quickly: "Sleep! Sleep right now!"

In fact, I wasn't too sleepy, and I just squinted for a while while lying on the bed.But Wen Bo slept so deeply that I didn't even wake up when I fiddled with his eyelashes.Looking at it, I was surprised to find that he had dark circles under his eyes after not seeing him all night!

At 06:30, I woke Quimber from his sleep, and by this time he was sleeping on my chest, and I gently rested my chin on the top of his soft hair.

"What time is it?" Wen Bo asked me confusedly.

"I don't know either." I answered truthfully.

Before he fully woke up, he kissed my Adam's apple drowsily before sitting up.

I turned around and fumbled for my phone on the bedside table, only to push it down instead, hitting the carpet with a muffled sound, and Quimber jumped.

"Don't move, I'll go down and turn on the light for you." He said as he stepped over me, got out of bed and turned on the floor lamp, and picked up the mobile phone on the ground for me.

When Wen Bai went to the bathroom to wash, I stared at his back for a long time, until he finished washing his face, turned around and fumbled for a towel on the rack, then I strode over, took the towel off the rack, and dried him carefully s face.

"Why do you have dark circles under your eyes? They didn't exist yesterday." I held his cheek and traced the slight blue color under his eyes with my fingers.

"I'm getting older." Wen Bai grabbed my right hand and kissed the palm.

"You stayed up late last night?"

"I was a little sleepless last night."

"A little bit last night?"

"Well, it's been a bit lately." Wen Bai finally confessed honestly.

"My work worries you?"

"There are reasons of my own."

Wen Bai went abroad for less than a year, but I found that he was much more haggard than before he left.Although the body is still as strong as before, it has lost a lot of weight. "I'm still with you tonight, and you can tell me what's wrong with you then."

Wen Bai smiled: "Aunt Xu agrees?"

"You are also her son, what does she disagree with?" I said while holding his hand tightly.

"You hold me so tight, how can I change my clothes?"

I just let go of him, but my eyes were firmly fixed on him.

Wen Bo noticed my gaze and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's all trivial."

I returned a disbelieving expression.

There was still an aftertaste of Christmas on the street that lingered for a while.Wen Bo took me into a hot pot restaurant.The shop is full of hot steam rising from the hot pot, and the water vapor is lingering. What can't be blocked is the laughter between people.

"The day Zhao Yuran and I came to eat hot pot, you were working in the coffee shop opposite." Wen Bai pointed to the "Coffee Day" that was still open outside the window.

"It turns out that you ate here that day."

Wen Bai remembered this incident very clearly, as if he remembered a very interesting thing, and he always smiled when he said it: "I was also sitting by the window at that time, and you were standing in the store with your back to Me. Have I ever said that you look good in an apron? Tie up the belt of the apron, making your waist appear thinner. At that time I stared at you for a long time, so long that Zhao Yuran felt strange, and he said: 'What's so nice about a man.'"

"Then how do you answer?" I poured the beef into the pot.

Wen Bai laughed even happier: "I said: 'You don't understand, Lin Cong's back looks better than a woman's.'"

"And then?" I fished out the cooked beef, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his bowl.

"Then Zhao Yuran said that I should like tall and thin girls."

"Hmph, Zhao Yuran, I remember him."

After dinner, we walked back to the community as planned.I thought I was going to face a storm, but I didn't expect it to be a spring rain.

"Uncle Wen, long time no see, how are you?" Walking into the living room, I squeezed Wen Bai's palm nervously to greet Uncle Wen.

"Very good, very good, come in and sit down."

The desktop was tidy, and newspapers were hung on the newspaper rack according to the date.In some ways, Quimber was just like his father.

Uncle Wen's hair is black and neat today, as if he had just taken care of it just now. While he was in the kitchen, I whispered in Wen Bo's ear, "Did Uncle Wen dye his hair?"

He nodded: "I also think it's dyed. It's a bit strange."

Before I had time to ask him what was strange, Uncle Wen had brought out two glasses of orange juice from the kitchen: "It's too late, tea and coffee are not good, drink orange juice."

I took it flattered and thought: This is not quite the same as what Ms. Xu said before!

Uncle Wen must have never thought that one day he would face me in such a position, so when he sat on the sofa, he put his hands on his lap helplessly, hesitating to speak.

"Uncle Wen, Wen Bai and I..."

"I know all about it. Wen Bo has already told me."

I guess that Uncle Wen didn't want to hear me repeat the relationship between me and Wen Bai. I can understand that, after all, such behavior is really tantamount to rubbing salt in the wound to him.

"I've thought a lot these days. Both of your children are not short of money now. I can't use the older generation's method to suppress you. Plus your mother, she..." Uncle Wen laughed at himself when he said this : "She is much more open-minded than me, and accepted your feelings openly, but I, who has been abroad, am narrow-minded."

"It's nothing, uncle, don't think about it."

Wen Bai also called out "Dad" in a low voice.

"Anyway, you guys must send me away first, and I don't want to worry about it anymore. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You can manage your affairs and feelings by yourself."

Uncle Wen must have made a lot of determination when he said these words, but he still didn't look directly at us, but raised his head after speaking.Although he wore glasses, I still saw the redness in the corners of his eyes.

These words are like a spring rain, completely starting the old and new relationship between me and Uncle Wen.

Before leaving, Wen Bai told his father that he would go home tomorrow.

Uncle Wen nodded: "I won't go to work tomorrow."

After leaving Wen Bai's house, we went to the small square to find Ms. Xu.It's just that Ms. Xu was so focused on dancing that she didn't notice us at all, and we were too embarrassed to break into this large group, so we could only take two beautiful photos of her and then left.

The wind by the river is very strong, so you have to keep your words close to each other's ears.I leaned over and wanted to say something, but Wen Bai's big palm covered my mouth, so I blinked my eyes puzzled.

"Choking the wind, be careful to sleep and cough."

I had no choice but to turn my face back and look directly at the other side of the river.

The wind blew ripples on the river, Wen Bai said such words, but the warm breath drove away the chill and came to my ears.He said, "I love you."

This "I love you" is a little more calm and heavy than the eagerness when I was young, like the ice-breaking spring, turbulent and decisive.

The surrounding lights fell on Wen Bai's eyes, like a starry sky, and I was deeply immersed in it.I hugged him tightly, ignoring the bitter wind, and repeated in his ear: "I love you, I love you, I love you..."

We still have countless nights, countless nights where we can embrace each other, and countless nights where we can talk to each other.All tiredness and suffering will melt under the night light, turning into warmth and endless love.

I sincerely pray that this companionship lasts until death.

38. Extra Story

◎Strawberry flavored◎

Not long after the admission results came out, a typhoon passed through the country, briefly sweeping away most of the summer heat.Especially after dinner, the wind by the river instantly brings people to early autumn.But everyone in Belvedere knows that summer is still growing.

Alone at home, Wen Bo is either painting or reading and watching TV.After lunch at Lin Cong's house at noon every day, he waited for Lin Cong to stay and play games together.But recently, he seems to have been thrown into limbo by Lin Cong for no reason.

If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain.Wen Bai found a few top-ranked cake shops on the mobile phone software, and used this as an excuse to take Lin Cong for a walk after dinner.

When the dinner was over and Lin Cong put the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, Wen Bai quickly followed, squeezed to his side and took out his mobile phone.On the screen was a piece of strawberry cake that looked delicious, "Do you want to eat it? Let's go together later?"

Lin Cong took a look, and the movements of his hands stopped as expected.As an avid fan of strawberry cake, it is impossible for him not to be moved: "Where is this store?"

"It's in Vientiane City, just a few steps away." Wen Bai's chest pressed against Lin Cong's arm, rubbing against Lin Cong's arm coquettishly.

Lin Cong retracted his arms calmly, and moved his foam-covered hands again, "Okay, wait until I finish washing the dishes."

Wen Bai was happy, and leaned against the stove with a smile: "I will start washing dishes tomorrow. When I earn money in the future, I will definitely buy a dishwasher for my family."

Lin Cong nodded, but his gaze was still in the sink full of foam and oil.He thought secretly in his heart: I really envy your future lover.

"Aunt Xu, let's go first." Walking in front of Lin Cong, Wen Bai called to Ms. Xu who was changing clothes in the bedroom.

Ms. Xu poked her head out of the bedroom: "Where are you going?"

"I'll take Cong Cong to buy strawberry cake."

Ms. Xu looked at her son standing behind Wen Bai, and said with a smile, "You two, be careful on the road."

Just on the weekend, the crowds in Vientiane City are surging, especially on the fourth floor that has been built into the food city, and there are long queues outside every store.

Taking the escalator to the fourth floor, Wen Bai frowned: "It's already eight o'clock, why are there so many people!"

"Ah! Today is Saturday!" Lin Cong glanced at his phone and suddenly realized.He and Wen Bai looked at each other, and both of them thought in their hearts that something was wrong.

Sure enough, before they got close to the cake shop named "Strawberry Sai Gao", they saw the clerk come out of the shop and sincerely apologized to the customers who were queuing up one by one.Soon, more than half of the people in the team were reduced.

As the initiator of this idea, Wen Bai nervously looked at Lin Cong's expression.

Lin Cong asked him angrily, "What are you looking at me for?"

Although he knew that Lin Cong would not get angry with him that easily, Wen Bai still carefully wrapped his arms around his wrist: "Why don't you go and have a look? Maybe there are other delicious cakes?"

The two leaned against the fiberglass fence and stared at each other for a while, but Lin Cong surrendered first.He lifted the hand wrapped around Wen Bai's wrist: "Let's go."

The combination of the two big men was particularly conspicuous in the team, and many girls turned their heads to inquire.Lin Cong turned his head to look at the calm and composed Wen Bai, and instantly felt that nothing was wrong.

There are either couples or girlfriends in the line, and with their height, it is easy to skip the crowd and see what is left of the products in the store.

"Let me see, there are also strawberry mochi and strawberry crisps. Ah... Sure enough, there are no towel rolls."

Lin Cong's eyesight was a little weaker, so he simply handed over the task to Wen Bai: "Then what other flavors are there for roll towels?"

"Let me take another look...um..." Wen Bai pursed his lips.

"Huh?" Lin Cong didn't understand why he stopped.

"There are no flavors..."

The towel rolls of various flavors are placed in the front glass cabinet, but unfortunately there are only a few brands left: strawberry towel rolls, mango towel rolls, matcha towel rolls...

The team moved forward slowly, and the two finally walked into the store.The sweet aroma of desserts hit his face, Wen Bai was unmoved, but Lin Cong sniffed contentedly.

They started to look at the innermost glass showcase, and Lin Cong saw the "Spicy Pork Floss Seaweed Bun" at a glance.He tapped the glass with his finger and said to the waiter, "Hello, I want two of these."

The waiter answered "yes" and put two "spicy pork floss and seaweed buns" on their plates.

"When did you change your taste?"

Lin Cong rolled his eyes at him: "I bought it for you."

Wen Bai's heart skipped a beat.He saw that when Wen Bo was talking to the waiter, his eyelashes trembled like a small brush brushing his heart.

"I want a catty of small mochi, and a catty of strawberry shortcake."

"Hey wait! Just half a catty each!"

The waiter looked at the two of them, saw that Wen Bai did not refute, and weighed half a catty of each.

Strawberry shortcake weighed, half a catty was actually not much, Lin Cong looked at the few pieces of cakes in the bag, and felt a little regretful.

Walking out of the shop, Wen Bai raised the bag in his hand: "You should just listen to me, this strawberry shortcake is only a few yuan for half a catty."

Lin Cong answered him empty-handed: "Next time you have to make up my strawberry towel roll."

Wen Bai was a little aggrieved: "I didn't expect this store to be so popular."

When it was time for a holiday, no one could remember what day of the week it was, and Lin Cong himself didn't realize it, so it wasn't easy to show his temper.He handed the bag containing the seaweed bag from Wen Bo: "It doesn't matter, you have to make it up for me next time." After speaking, he added suspiciously: "Will you remember?"

The half of the bag was still in Wen Bai's hand. He tugged at the other half in his hand, and said with a soft voice: "I will remember it. I will definitely remember it."

Passing by Delin Square, Wen Bai was attracted by the news on the large electronic screen and stopped in his tracks.

The changing light and shadow fell on the boy's face, blurring his expression.

Standing beside him, Lin Cong was puzzled to find a small Sichuan character between his brows: "What's wrong?"

The news has already been broadcast to the next one, Wen Bai came back to his senses, shook his head and said to him with a smile: "It's okay, let's go for a walk by the river."

Along the long Yanjiang Avenue, street lamps form a strip of light.The evening wind blew away the heat from their bodies, and the two found an empty bench and sat down.

The freshly baked strawberry shortcake was still warm, Lin Cong licked his lips and couldn't help but took a piece from the bag.The sweet but not greasy strawberry puree is wrapped in a boxy, creamy meringue shell. When you bite down, the fruit puree bursts into your mouth with a milky aroma, causing Lin Cong to squint his eyes happily.

Wen Bai turned his head to look at him, reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth: "Is it so delicious?"

Lin Cong was busy chewing, nodding and handing half of the piece to his mouth.Wen Bai opened his mouth almost without hesitation, and accidentally touched Lin Cong's fingertips while eating the strawberry shortcake.Unlike his own fingers, Lin Cong's fingertips are very soft.He saw him withdraw his hand and subconsciously licked his fingers, his brain went blank for a moment.

Lin Cong likes strawberries so much, could his lips and fingers also smell of strawberries?A strange doubt was born in Wen Bai's mind.

After Lin Cong ate strawberry shortcake, he tasted strawberry mochi again. Even though he had just had dinner, his stomach always had capacity for strawberry products.

"A news about a coal mine collapse accident was broadcast on the square just now." Wen Bai stared at him intently.

The little mochi took one bite at a time, Lin Cong raised his head after eating, and blinked: "So you were just watching this."

Wen Bo nodded: "I was thinking at the time, fortunately you were not admitted to the mining major."

Lin Cong was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled and rolled his eyes. When he returned to normal, the surrounding lights were reflected in his eyes, like stars, and fell into Wen Bai's heart.

"So you were worried about this, I said, why did you frown suddenly at that moment."

"If you really go mining, Aunt Xu and I will have to worry about you every day..."

Lin Cong took out a small mochi from the bag, and blocked Wen Bai's worries: "There is no if, so don't worry about it." Seeing him finish eating, he asked again: "Go home?"

"go home."

When they broke up in the community, Lin Cong never forgot to remind Wen Bai about the strawberry towel roll again.

"Got it." Wen Bai waved his hand at him: "Remember to digest food when you go back, don't lie down immediately."

This time Chang Lin Cong said to him, "I know."

Only when there was the sound of a beep closing the door, Wen Bai turned his head and walked towards his own building.When he reached out to take the access control card from his pocket, he stopped suddenly, and then sniffed his fingertips mysteriously.

Strawberry flavored.
