bite

It was just a matter of a moment, and that feeling quickly disappeared. When Lin Yuanye stared at Cheng Liao again, he could no longer capture any emotion on the man's face.

"What else?" Lin Yuanye asked.

"Your phone is ringing." Slowly loosening his ankle, Cheng Liao threw the phone beside the pillow to him.

Lin Yuanye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his hand to catch it. He really felt the continuous vibrating sound coming from the phone.All he wanted to do was get up and go to the bathroom to solve it, subconsciously ignoring the dull sound coming from under the pillow.

Glancing at the caller ID on the screen, it was not an important call that had to be answered, so Lin Yuanye pressed the hang up button, dropped the phone, got up and left in a hurry.

It took the two of them a little time to solve their own problems.Cheng Liao came out of the bathroom after washing his face, stood outside the bedroom door and asked Lin Yuanye what he wanted for breakfast.

The latter stood by the balcony door with his back turned to him. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't respond for a long time.

Cheng Liao walked into the bedroom and repeated what he said just now.

Lin Yuanye turned around with a surprised expression, "I don't know how to do it."

The man answered without moving his eyebrows and eyes: "I will."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanye smiled at him, "I can do it."

Cheng Liao nodded, instead of turning around and leaving immediately, he asked quietly, "What are you standing here looking at?"

Lin Yuanye groaned softly, "The balcony door was open when I got up in the morning." A bit of confusion appeared in his eyes, "Did I not close the door when I slept last night?"

The man's complexion paused for a very obvious moment, and soon returned to his composure, "Probably."

After finishing speaking, before Lin Yuanye could continue to answer, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

He went to the kitchen to look for ingredients, and to his surprise, he found that there was nothing in the refrigerator except beer and drinks that were full.Lin Yuanye leaned on the wall and jumped over with a little guilty conscience, and after a moment of serious thinking, he said, "I have eggs and rice from neighbors at home. I'm not sure if they are damaged."

When I moved here for a few months in the first half of the year, I once helped the neighbor next door.Afterwards, the uncle next door came to thank him with rice and eggs, and Lin Yuanye insisted on accepting them.

He couldn't refuse, so he accepted all of them.It's just that Lin Yuanye has always been ignorant of cooking skills, so the eggs and rice he received have been piled up in the kitchen for a long time, but they have never been used for anything.

According to the vague details in his memory, Cheng Liao successfully found eggs and rice that were still edible.With limited ingredients and no preparation in advance, Cheng Liao simply cooked porridge and fried two eggs in the end.

Half an hour later, the two sat face to face at the table to eat breakfast, and Cheng Liao asked him abruptly, "Did you dream this morning?"

"I did." Lin Yuanye replied truthfully.

"What dream?" the man asked again.

"I dreamed about the Italian game." Lin Yuanye finally answered half-truths without telling the whole story.

The other party didn't seem to doubt the truth of what he said, but asked casually, "Why do you like Italy?"

Why?Lin Yuanye was a little stunned by his question.

He held the porridge bowl in his hand and drank it slowly, his mind was full of thoughts, until the bowl of porridge slowly bottomed out, he put down the bowl unhurriedly, and smiled lazily at the man, " How can there be any reason? If you have to ask the reason, it is probably because—" His voice paused invisibly, "Italy's team uniform is blue."

The man opposite who was sandwiching eggs stopped his movements, raised his eyelids and looked at him in silence.

Sensing Cheng Liao's gaze directed at him, Lin Yuanye took the initiative to add, "Because I like blue."

There was a moment of silence in his words, probably to accept the reason, and the man finally commented in a flat tone: "It sounds like it was made up temporarily."

Lin Yuanye bent his lips and smiled, but did not give any other explanations for his evaluation.

The dream in the early morning gradually became clear and profound when Cheng Liao asked this question.If you want to talk about why you like Italy, it is probably because he cared about winning or losing the Italian game that night, so he took the initiative to turn on the broadcast video of the Italian game a few days later.

I can't say the specific reason, but it is true that after watching that game, he fell in love with the Italian team, and even slowly began to pay attention to football events all over the world.

As for the reason he told Cheng Liao just now, it was only borrowed by Lin Yuanye from others without authorization.The person who once said this is not here, and Lin Yuanye and the other party are also strangers to each other.

But there is a saying that is not a lie. Among all the colors, he really likes blue the most.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuanye raised his head and asked, "What about you? Why do you like the Italian team?"

After finishing the words, the man on the opposite side raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him calmly without answering.

Seeing this, Lin Yuanye slowly raised his eyebrows, "Can't you say?"

"There's no reason." Cheng Liao said in a deep and slow voice, "If you have to explain, it's the same reason as yours."

Lin Yuanye rested one hand on the side of his face and stared at him intently. Hearing this, he hummed and laughed softly, "Cheng Liao." The man's name was slowly uttered between his lips and teeth, and his final voice was relaxed and joyful to accuse The other party said, "You are copying me."

Hearing his jokes, Cheng Liao gently raised the corners of his lips noncommittally.

He hummed slightly in a low voice, with a hint of connivance in his words, "If you say it's plagiarism, then it's plagiarism."

After breakfast and clearing away the dishes, Cheng Liao received a call from the owner of the bar, who informed him that he didn't have to go to work tonight because the bar was temporarily closed for maintenance.

After hanging up the phone, the man looked at Lin Yuanye who was sitting on the sofa, "You don't know how to cook, where do you usually eat?"

"I usually go out to eat." Lin Yuanye raised his face and lied a little, "It's not convenient to go out now, and I don't know what to do."

"I can make lunch," Cheng Liao offered, "I just need to buy vegetables."

"Will it be too much trouble for you?" Lin Yuanye pretended to refuse, showing a bit of embarrassment at the right time.

"No." The man replied plainly and briefly, "Your foot is injured, and the main responsibility lies with me."

Lin Yuanye was stunned at first, then recalled all the things Cheng Liao had done for him since last night, and soon he had some understanding and epiphany.It probably makes sense to think about it, if Cheng Liao didn't think so, why would he offer to stay and solve all the inconveniences in his life for him.

No longer entangled in the reason why the other party stayed, and quickly put this little matter behind him, Lin Yuanye raised his head again and said, "I know there is a small vegetable market nearby, do you want me to take you there?"

"How are you going?" Cheng Liao asked in a neutral tone, looking at his injured foot.

Lin Yuanye also frowned in trouble, but couldn't think of any good solution for a while.Cheng Liao didn't stay any longer to wait for him to think of a solution, he turned around and walked towards the door, without looking back, he said, "You wait here."

Assuming that the other party didn't want to hold him back and leave him alone at home, although Lin Yuanye was a little reluctant, he couldn't immediately get up and catch up, so he could only tilt his body and fall into the sofa, resting his head on the armrest of the sofa, feeling bored Hold up your phone and play.

Playing with mobile phones is playing with mobile phones, and he has not forgotten that there are legitimate things to do.Lin Yuanye first called the neighbor next door and asked him not to deliver food today, then he found the number he hung up on in the morning and called back.

The caller was a casual friend with an ordinary relationship in the circle, and he didn't feel annoyed at all when he hung up the phone. Now he received a call back on his own initiative, and asked him about his life on the other end of the phone with a smile.

Not knowing what the other party was planning, Lin Yuanye impatiently interrupted his caring, "Speak directly."

Only then did the wine-and-meat friend put off his hippie smile just now, and put on a serious and sincere tone, wanting to ask him for help.

Although the other party didn't say what the business was for, Lin Yuanye only felt inexplicable and puzzled when he heard it. It has been more than half a year since he was sent to this rural town. No matter who the other party turned to for help, he shouldn't have come to him anyway. .

Without asking the other party what help he needed, Lin Yuanye opened his mouth and refused directly: "I can't help, you can find someone else."

The wine-and-meat friend was a little anxious in his words, as if he still wanted to open his mouth to explain to him.If nothing happened in the past, Lin Yuanye might have listened patiently, but at this moment, he heard familiar footsteps coming from the yard again.

Lin Yuanye hung up the phone in a few words, and when he sat up from the sofa, he saw the man who should have left reappeared by the living room door.

The other party walked straight towards him with long legs, and before the surprised Lin Yuanye could ask why he had returned, he leaned over and picked him up from the sofa.

In a hurry, he raised his hand to hug the other person's neck, and his eyes fell on the man's sharp jaw line. Lin Yuanye asked in a daze, "Where are you going?"

Cheng Liao hugged him and walked out of the house, without stopping. Hearing this, he glanced down at him and asked indifferently, "Don't you want to go to the vegetable market? I borrowed a wheelchair from next door."

Unexpectedly, there was such a solution. When he saw the wheelchair placed in the middle of the yard from a distance, Lin Yuanye's mood improved a lot in an instant.Thinking about how the other party was struggling to carry him to the room last night, and visually measuring that the distance between the bathroom and the bedroom was twice as long, he said very considerately and understandingly: "Put me down, I can walk by myself. "

The man did not put him down as he said, and while striding forward, he refused without changing his expression: "You walk too slowly. When you walk by yourself, the vegetable market should be closed."

Hearing this, Lin Yuanye shut his mouth tightly and stopped talking, letting the other party carry him to the wheelchair in the middle of the yard.

However, when he bent down and sat down in the wheelchair, he raised his head with a little regret and shame in his heart, he saw Cheng Liao's breathing was steady and his face was normal, and he didn't look like he was tired last night and gasped in a low voice.

The regret and shame in my heart disappeared immediately, and Lin Yuanye stared at the man with doubts on his face.
