bite

"What did they go out for?" Lin Yuanye asked.

Before Babyface could answer, Yan Yan, who was obviously a little disappointed beside him, raised his head, "It seems that he went out to eat."

"The daughter of the secretary of the town committee is sexy and beautiful. She has a high degree of education and has returned from studying abroad. Her family is powerful and rich." Babyface murmured with emotion, with a bit of envy that couldn't be concealed, "Brother Cheng is so lucky. .”

Yan Yan nodded obediently, although it was sad to lose a relationship, he still had to agree with his words.

"However," Babyface turned the subject proudly, "In the final analysis, it's because Brother Cheng is tall and handsome. Otherwise, how could she fall in love with people who move bricks on the construction site? Leaving aside the family background, Brother Cheng and her are still the same. It's a good match." After speaking, he looked at Lin Yuanye with a smile again, "Are you right, Brother Lin?"

"No." Lin Yuanye vetoed cleanly.

The baby was stunned, and then realized that Lin Yuanye must have never met the town committee secretary's daughter, so he said that.

Not taking his veto to heart, Babyface turned to get his water glass.Lin Yuanye didn't show how eager he was, he found a stool and sat down slowly, talking to the two of them while waiting for Cheng Liao to come back after eating.

Cheng Liao came back before the start time, and appeared on the construction site with him, and Yu Weiwei who called him out for dinner alone.

When the two passed by the arbor, the first thing they saw was the baby's face standing by the shed.He smiled and greeted the two who came back from dinner, and asked them if the steak in the western restaurant in the town was good.

Yu Weiwei frowned critically, "The taste is not very authentic, next time you have a chance, you can go to a restaurant in the city to try."

Cheng Liao stood beside him without interjecting, but his gaze paid attention to the people sitting in the shed before Yu Weiwei did.

Sensing the man's gaze towards him, Lin Yuanye calmly raised his baseball cap, raised his face to look at him, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "Are you back after eating?"

"I'm back." Without looking at the other two beside him, Cheng Liao went straight to the shed and walked towards him.

Hearing voices coming from inside the shed, Yu Weiwei realized that Lin Yuanye was sitting inside, his expression froze slightly.

Lin Yuanye stood up from the stool, first nodded to her politely, then turned his gaze to the man who stopped in front of him, slowly swept his black vest and camouflage trousers, and finally put on a joking tone Question: "If you dress like this, the restaurant waiter is willing to let you in?"

"Let go." Cheng Liao twitched his eyebrows slightly, watching him answer concisely.

Yu Weiwei walked over on stiletto heels, changed the hand that carried the bag from the right to the left, and stood still gently against Cheng Liao's arm, "I want to take Brother Cheng to buy clothes, but it's a pity that the rest time on the construction site Too short."

Hearing the change of Cheng Liao's address in her words, Lin Yuanye smiled without comment.

"No need to buy it." Stepping back sideways, Cheng Liao answered in a neutral tone, "I don't need it."

Yu Weiwei wasn't annoyed at all, she just smiled pointedly and said, "You can still wear it when you go to eat Western food next time."

"I don't like western food." Cheng Liao refused very simply.

"Then you can eat something else next time." Yu Weiwei followed his words naturally.

Without any response to her proposal, Cheng Liao stopped talking.

With a faint smile on Yu Weiwei's face, she shifted the focus of the topic to Lin Yuanye without any trace, "Are you looking for Brother Cheng? If we knew you were coming this afternoon, we would have come back earlier."

"No." Lin Yuanye smiled at her, and sat down in front of the stool holding the drawing board and pen again, "I'll draw and collect materials."

"Huahua?" Yu Weiwei raised her eyebrows in surprise.

However, Lin Yuanye no longer had any intention of explaining to her, he took the paintbrush and began to draw lines seriously.Sitting in his position, he could just see the unfinished building structure in the center of the construction site in the distance.And Cheng Liao was impartial, standing in a position that blocked his line of sight.

"Give way." Lin Yuanye raised his eyes to look at the man, and reminded him with his usual expression, "You're blocking me."

Cheng Liao glanced at him, as if he wanted to say something.But seeing Lin Yuanye's eyes lowered all the time, staring intently at the drawing paper in front of him, he didn't say anything at last, and stepped sideways out of his field of vision.

The baby face behind him walked over unconsciously and reminded: "Brother Cheng, the lunch break is almost over."

Seeing this, Yu Weiwei didn't stay any longer, and left alone with her handbag.

After the other party left, Cheng Liao still stood there without making any movement.It wasn't until the baby face urged him a second time without knowing it, that the man turned to Lin Yuanye in front of him and said, "I'm going first."

Lin Yuanye held the paintbrush and answered without lifting the tip, "Okay."

Cheng Liao really just turned around and left.Hearing the sound of footsteps from near to far in his ears, he frowned slightly and looked at the back of the other party leaving outside the shed, still feeling slightly unbalanced in his heart.

He thought that the man at least had something else to say, but Cheng Liao didn't say anything, and the other party just left, carrying the strong smell of perfume from Yu Weiwei.

Not sure if the last time in the bar was covered by the smell of perfume or alcohol, or if the two went out at noon today, the distance between Cheng Liao and Yu Weiwei was closer than last time, and the smell of perfume on the man was stronger than that. Even worse at night.

Lin Yuanye dropped the paintbrush in his hand, got up and walked to the edge of the shed, raised his head and stood still, letting the wind blow away the smell lingering in his nose.

Workers wearing yellow hard hats were already moving in the distance. Lin Yuanye slightly narrowed his eyes, trying to see their figures clearly but failed, so he had to give up.

He stood by the side of the shed for a while, took out his mobile phone to look at it, there was still a long time before Cheng Liao got off work, and he had to wait for several hours before he could ask the other party clearly, but he was gone for the time being. Continue to paint the mood.

Never felt that an afternoon on the construction site would be as long and tormented as it is now. Lin Yuanye simply came out of the arbor and started walking around bored.

A few minutes later, he saw Yan Yan on the first floor of the construction dormitory.The girl sat in front of the electric fan and bent over to wash the vegetables, as if she was preparing dinner on the construction site.

Seeing that there was no one else around except her, Lin Yuanye took the initiative to walk over and asked, "Do you need help?"

Yan Yan raised his head upon hearing the sound, raised his hand to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, and smiled gratefully at him, "Thank you."

Lin Yuanye sat down beside her.

The two washed the vegetables for about half an hour. Yan Yan packed the washed vegetables in a vegetable basket and moved them to the temporary kitchen on the construction site.Lin Yuanye was left sitting alone on the spot, with his back facing the direction of the door, with his head down and continued to break the handle of the pepper.

Soon someone came in from outside the shed, thinking it was Yan Yan who had gone and returned, Lin Yuanye handed her the chili pepper in his hand without looking back, "Help me see, is this chili pepper bad? "

Before the words fell, the pepper tip that was handed out was held by the other party.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the other party pinched Chili's fingertips, covering his fingers impartially.

The slightly rough heat source was transmitted to the fingers, and the next second, the person behind took the pepper.Vaguely aware of the identity of the visitor, Lin Yuanye still pretended not to know, sitting on the bench without moving.

After waiting for two seconds for no answer from the person behind him, Lin Yuanye asked in his usual tone, "Is it broken? Give it to me if it's not broken."

The other party still didn't speak, but Lin Yuanye's arm was gently pressed against him.Lin Yuanye stared at the pepper in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly, but still reached out to pick up the pepper without looking back.

The palm of his hand sank suddenly, and he realized that the shape and weight of the thing in his hand did not look like chili peppers. Lin Yuanye was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked down at his hand.What the other party put back was really not a pepper, but a big, round apple.

There were still water droplets after washing on the apple, and the cool water droplets rolled down the apple to his fingertips. Only then did Lin Yuanye regain his senses, and turned to look at the man standing behind him.

"The chili is not broken." He broke off the handle of the chili in his hand, and Cheng Liao passed him and threw the chili into the vegetable bowl.

When he got up, he caught a glimpse of him still holding the apple in his hand, and Cheng Liao explained in a low voice, "It's been washed, you can eat it."

"Thank you." Lin Yuanye thanked him bluntly, put the apple to his mouth and took a bite.

The man sat down in front of the bench beside him, "I'm looking for you."

"What do you want from me?" Lin Yuanye raised the corners of his lips disapprovingly, "Just to give me apples?"

Noticing the slight change in his attitude, Cheng Liao picked up the chili pepper at his feet and broke off the handle without changing his expression, "The apples are just on the way, I have something to tell you."

The man's movement of breaking the handle was proficient and neat. Lin Yuanye involuntarily set his eyes on his hand. Only then did he realize that he and Cheng Liao were not in a relationship, and he didn't have any clear position on this matter. It's been a while.

Restraining the emotions that were unconsciously revealed, Lin Yuanye let out a soft oh.

Cheng Liao raised his eyes slightly to look at him and said, "It was Yu Weiwei who asked someone to help with the incident at the police station that night."

After his reminder, Lin Yuanye also remembered the police car that put them down on the side of the road.

"I don't like to owe favors." Cheng Liao frowned slightly.

Lin Yuanye nodded in understanding, and reminded him in a slightly casual tone: "When you came back, the smell of perfume on your body was stronger than that at the bar that night."

"She drove the car." Cheng Liao thought for a second, then replied without a pause, "The windows are not open."

The other party had already explained clearly in a few words, so Lin Yuanye had nothing to say, so he simply lowered his head and continued to eat the apple.Neither of them mentioned the need for Cheng Liao to explain to Lin Yuanye about this matter. Maybe both of them chose to ignore it, or maybe they didn't realize it from the beginning to the end.

"What now?" Cheng Liao's deep voice sounded amidst the sound of him chewing the crushed apple.

Lin Yuanye paused for a moment, then looked at him inwardly without knowing.

"Is there any more now?" The man looked at him and asked slowly.

Lin Yuanye sniffed the air uncertainly, and he could smell nothing except the dry smell of the heat rising after the summer rain.

He glanced at Cheng Liao emotionally, moved the bench to a position closer to the opponent, leaned over to him and sniffed with the tip of his nose.

No matter how strong and long-lasting the perfume smell, it probably evaporated and dissipated in the air when Cheng Liao was working.The tip of Lin Yuanye's nose paused in front of Cheng Liao's shoulder, not only did he not smell any perfume, he didn't even smell any excess sweat.

"Have you gone to wash your face?" Lin Yuanye thought about it, and finally only this possibility remained.

"Washed." Cheng Liao replied by turning his face sideways.

Suddenly meeting his gaze lightly, Lin Yuanye asked abruptly, "Is the western food delicious for lunch today?"

"It's not as delicious as boiled fish." Cheng Liao said.

When Lin Yuanye heard the words, his mood immediately improved a lot, but he didn't show it at all, "You don't want to work now?"

"Yes." Cheng Liao's tone was concise.

Realizing belatedly, he came to look for him during work, Lin Yuanye clicked his tongue softly, "If you don't work and get caught by the foreman, what will happen?"

"Wages will be deducted." Cheng Liao didn't seem to care much.

"How much?" Lin Yuanye asked.

"Fifty or a hundred." The man recalled a little, "I don't remember clearly."

"Aren't you going there now?" Lin Yuanye frowned distressedly, "The deducted salary is enough to eat several meals of boiled fish."

"Then eat a few meals of boiled fish less." Cheng Liao replied in an understated voice.

Lin Yuanye stared at him for a moment, raised the unfinished apple in his hand and said, "It's enough for you to buy many catties of apples."

"Then don't buy it." The man said without moving his eyebrows.

The burning feeling in his heart gradually came up, and he was worried that he would lose control if he continued, so Lin Yuanye followed the apple and changed the subject without a trace: "Where did you get the apple you gave me?"

"The workman's hair." Cheng Liao told him.

Lin Yuanye nodded knowingly, lowered his eyes, took a bite of the apple, and said vaguely with the piece of apple flesh in his mouth, "The welfare on your construction site is very good, and you often have fresh fruits to eat."

After finishing speaking, before the other party opened his mouth to answer, he ate the piece of apple flesh in his mouth, and asked with a slightly confused expression: "Where's yours? Have you finished eating?"

"Mine?" Cheng Liao replied casually, looking at the cheeks that moved slightly when he was chewing the apple, and glanced at his moist lips stained with sweet juice, "I've given you mine."

Lin Yuanye was stunned suddenly, and inexplicably complicated emotions gradually surged in his dark eyes.

But I heard the man in front of me speak clearly in a low voice: "If you're sorry, just let me smell the sweetness of the apples."

Recovering from his voice, Lin Yuanye subconsciously wanted to lift the apple in his hand to him.

The next second, Cheng Liao stretched out his hand to hold his raised wrist, and approached his lips without warning.

The tip of his nose stayed in front of Lin Yuanye's lips for a moment, the man withdrew from his face with a normal expression, and commented in a flat tone: "Apple is very sweet."

"Again, what is sweet"

"Smell it before you eat it"

"Eat a few meals of boiled fish today, and eat more fish that you catch tomorrow"
