bite

Lin Yuanye didn't turn his head or speak, but his heart was beating heavily and fast.Did Cheng Liao understand what he said, and was he intentionally implying something?This thought was the only thing left in Lin Yuanye's mind, which caused his mind to jump and circle back and forth.

Cheng Liao, as if nothing had happened, took the ginger piece and the peeling knife from him, stood by the table with downcast eyes, and began to peel the skin with familiar movements.

He received Lin Yuanye's gaze from the side of his face, and the man explained without raising his head: "You move too slowly."

Lin Yuanye didn't open his mouth to refute, his gaze fell vaguely on his hands holding the ginger and the paring knife. At first glance, it seemed that he was gently following the movements of his hands, but it was not difficult to find that Lin Yuanye's There is no focus in the eyes at all.

And what he cared about was not peeling ginger.

The two finished their lunch with their own thoughts. Cheng Liao was called away by the foreman in the afternoon, and took away the clothes and trousers that were left with him.

The rainy weather was finally coming to an end, and the foreman called everyone over to discuss the start of work.Lin Yuanye had nothing to do at home, so he went back to the bed in the bedroom and took a nap.

After getting up in the evening, Cheng Liao came over to make him dinner again.The man cooks delicious food, but Lin Yuanye doesn't want him to run every day.Hearing that they will resume work from tomorrow, Lin Yuanye gave out his own meal expenses and asked the neighbors to deliver the meals as a reason, so that Cheng Liao would not have to come back tomorrow.

The other party didn't insist too much, and only nodded when he heard the words: "Call me if you have anything to do."

Seeing this, Lin Yuanye followed his words and asked half jokingly and half tentatively: "Can you call me during work?"

Cheng Liao raised his head calmly, and promised lightly, "Yes."

"Why?" Admitting that he was very moved by such an answer, Lin Yuanye asked the reason without changing his expression.

"If it was just a trivial matter, you wouldn't look for me at work." Without thinking too long, Cheng Liao answered directly.

The expression and tone of the man when he said this seemed to be just discussing the matter, but Lin Yuanye still felt a little itchy in his heart, and even for a short moment, he wanted to get straight to the point with the other party , the window paper between the two.

The window paper that was pasted between the two of them at the beginning seemed to be becoming thinner and more transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye as he and Cheng Liao got in touch and got along for a while.

Although the result is not 100% satisfactory, he is at least [-]% sure that he can effectively pierce the window paper.It's just that it's obviously not a good time right now, so Lin Yuanye finally persuaded himself in his heart to wait a little longer as he glanced down at his handicapped foot.

Just wait until your feet are well.

Cheng Liao didn't stay overnight that night, but before the other party left, he still moved the stool needed for bathing for him, and wrapped it tightly around his injured foot with a plastic bag.

"Remember to put a plastic bag in the shower, and change the medicine for the wound on the sole of the foot every two days. It's best not to stay up late at night, and eat less spicy and cold drinks." Cheng Liao paused outside the door, and then made a final addition, "Come to me if you need anything. .”

Lin Yuanye leaned against the door frame and nodded repeatedly. Although he didn't take the initiative to speak, his eyes were gradually stained with a small smile.In such a peaceful parting atmosphere, he even had the illusion that he was in love with Cheng Liao.

It's just that no matter whether it's for him or others, a man always has that sense of righteousness hidden under his indifferent appearance. This is what he discovered from the other party from the very beginning.

Lin Yuanye pulled himself out of this illusion, and heard Cheng Liao's deep voice slowly falling into his ears: "Do you know my phone number?"

He wanted to nod subconsciously, but soon recalled that the number he stored in his mobile phone last time was from the piece of paper on which the name and phone number were registered in the bar.

Thinking of this, he blurred his words a little: "I don't remember if there is any."

Cheng Liao directly reported his phone number to him.

The latter reacted, turned on the phone in a hurry to create a new phone contact, and typed a number "1" with his fingertips, and his short-term memory got stuck.Lin Yuanye raised his head to look at him with some doubts.

"I'll call." The man took the mobile phone he was holding, and entered his phone number smoothly with his fingertips.

After entering the number, Cheng Liao still did not return the phone to him, but lightly tapped the column of the contact name and started typing his own name.

Lin Yuanye watched as he typed the word "Cheng" on the phone, and then entered the pinyin of his own name.It's just that the man didn't type single characters. Lin Yuanye quickly caught a glimpse of the word "Yuan" appearing immediately after the word "Liao" in the options.

Cheng Liao directly selected the word "Liaoyuan" which was the top option, and then deleted the extra word "Yuan".Under Lin Yuanye's gaze, he raised his eyes calmly, "Liao is hard to find, I'm used to typing like this."

Lin Yuanye's heart twitched slightly, seeing that he didn't speak.

He sent Cheng Liao to the gate of the courtyard, and after watching the figure of the other party leave, he turned around and locked the gate of the courtyard.After the iron gate was locked, he didn't go in immediately, but took out his mobile phone again, bowed his head and typed the pinyin of the word "炎".

Sure enough, I saw that the input method had the memory of typing Cheng Liao's name first, and in the row of options that popped up at this time, the word in Cheng Liao's name was impressively ranked first in the options.

The corners of Lin Yuanye's lips raised slightly, and he put the phone back into his pocket.

He stayed at home for three or four days before the injury on the soles of his feet gradually improved.It's just that although he didn't leave the door, there were quite a few people who called him.Just talking about the wine and meat friend who asked him for help, he called him twice.

The last time, Lin Yuanye patiently listened to a few words. When the other party said that he had offended Cheng Fei's friend and wanted to save the country through his acquaintance with Cheng's family, Lin Yuanye finally couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted in a strange tone. He said, "I don't know any of the Cheng family."

What Lin Yuanye said was true. Although his circle of friends was not small, there were no members of the Cheng family.And the only Cheng family member he knew was Cheng Fei.It is not an exaggeration to describe the two as enmity, but it is absolutely impossible to make friends.

Unexpectedly, the person the other party was looking for was actually Yang Jinnian, "Don't you know your cousin? I remember that you have a very good relationship."

"Knowing my cousin doesn't mean I know him. I don't even know his name. Besides," Lin Yuanye stretched his legs lazily on the sofa, "If my cousin's road really works, I will It won't be in the country now."

"That's because he was abroad a few years ago and couldn't take care of domestic affairs. I heard not long ago that he will return to China soon." The other party said.

"Go back to China right away," Lin Yuanye nodded casually, "But what does this have to do with me?"

He was not very interested in connecting him with Yang Jinnian, so he put his attitude here, so he didn't say anything else.Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, the person on the other end hung up the phone angrily and never came to him again.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Fa Xiao, whom he had known since childhood, would be interested in the Cheng family's return to China, and even took the time to ask him about the relevant details.

When Lin Yuanye asked a little strangely, Jiang Chi just clicked his tongue lightly, and replied tactfully and implicitly: "It's not my parents, let me give more attention to these things when I come back."

He immediately understood that Jiang Chi was different from himself, and he wanted to inherit the family business after returning from studying abroad.It is not a bad thing for him to get in touch with and get to know the young juniors of the Cheng family who have returned to China.What's more, this young junior who returned to China is completely different from Cheng Fei.

It's a pity that he didn't have any useful information to provide him, so Lin Yuanye told the truth: "I don't know, I haven't asked Yang Jinnian."

In the end, he was the one who didn't care about anything, and heard a few scattered things from Jiang Chi.

It is heard that the other party stayed abroad after graduating from university and did not return because of disagreement with his family.Now that the news that he was going back to China came from all parties, it was also because the health of the elderly in the family was getting worse, so the Cheng family finally took the initiative to make concessions.

As an irrelevant outsider, Lin Yuanye regarded the things that Jiang Chi told him to be gossip and gossip.

Even when he was talking to Jiang Chi, he was still thinking about whether he should go to see Cheng Liao tomorrow.

Lin Yuanye always thought about doing something, woke up at noon the next day, had lunch at home, and then went to the construction site with his drawing board on his back.

When he arrived at the construction site, it happened to be the workers' break time after lunch.Along the way, when others asked about his foot injury, Lin Yuanye responded with a smile until he met Yuan Cun on the construction site.

Lin Yuanye put away the lingering smile on his lips, and walked past the man without seeing him, but Yuan Cun stopped him and asked, "Are you looking for Cheng Liao?"

He didn't stop there, but continued to walk forward.

The other party smiled inexplicably, and then said in a moderate voice behind him: "Then you are unlucky to come today, Cheng Liao is not here."

"He's not there?" Lin Yuanye turned his head and asked calmly.

"Not here." Yuan Cun looked at him with an inexplicable meaning gradually appearing, "If you want to find him, you might as well find me. There is still time to change your mind now."

Keenly noticed that this time the other party didn't make bad jokes like usual, but there was something in the words, Lin Yuanye raised his eyes and looked at him, "Why?"

"I'm still single, but Cheng Liao is different." Yuan Cun sneered jokingly, "He will soon be the son-in-law of the secretary of the town committee." He looked at Lin Yuanye with pity and embarrassment , "There's no need to look any further, Cheng Liao went out with the town committee secretary's daughter before dinner."

Without waiting for Lin Yuanye to react, he added without pause, "During the few days you haven't come, the town committee secretary's daughter has come here every day. If you don't believe me," Yuan Cun grinned like a joke , "You can ask other people on the construction site."

Two minutes later, Lin Yuanye was really at Babyface's place, and got a similar statement.Cheng Liao went out with Yu Weiwei at noon.For Yu Weiwei's sake, Cheng Liao had already returned the gift from Yan Yan in private.Cheng Liao will soon be the son-in-law of the secretary of the town committee.

Lin Yuanye couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly after hearing this.

He never expected that during the few days he was away, Yu Weiwei would take advantage of the loopholes.

Lin Yuanye: Don't be the visiting son-in-law of the secretary of the town committee, but be the visiting son-in-law of the Lin family.
