bite

Lin Yuanye paused for a second, raised his eyes as if nothing had happened, and answered, "It's okay."

Cheng Liao glanced at his injured foot, "Is your foot okay?"

"It's almost better." Lin Yuanye answered.

Yan Yan came in from outside the shed with an empty vegetable basket in his arms, "What's so good?"

When the voice fell to the ground, she noticed that Cheng Liao was also sitting in the shed. She had a blank expression on her face, and then she reminded the other party in a low voice: "My father just went to the construction area."

Hearing this, Cheng Liao stood up and lowered his eyes to Lin Yuanye and said, "I'm going first."

Lin Yuanye nodded, watched the man's back disappear outside the shed, and replied absent-mindedly, "It's nothing."

Yan Yan wisely stopped asking, sat down next to him, lowered his head and continued to process the peppers in the dish.

After slowly eating the apple in his hand, Lin Yuanye turned around and threw the core of the apple into the trash can far away, and rested his chin with one hand, reminiscing about the solitude with Cheng Liao just now.

He became more and more determined in his heart, and his feeling was not wrong. What Cheng Liao said in his kitchen at noon that day was deliberately hinting at himself.

Immersed in his own thoughts, the corners of Lin Yuanye's lips even curled up involuntarily.He was always ignorant of this, until he accidentally noticed the curious gazes from the girl beside him several times in his spare time, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, calmly suppressing the corners of his lips.

Now that the fish has bit the hook, it is time to lift the rod and take up the line.After all, regardless of the time limit for the fish to take the bait, there are other anglers sitting next to them.

Lin Yuanye began to wait for a good time to take up the line, but Cheng Liao went out early and returned home every day to work, and there were too many people on the construction site, so he really couldn't pick any good time.

From the day the two of them went out to eat alone, Yu Weiwei didn't appear again for several days.For such a development and direction, Lin Yuanye is naturally very happy to see its success.After recovering from his foot injury, he began to carry his drawing board to the construction site every day.

After the short rainy season ended, the town returned to its previous high temperature and heat.

After lunch on Friday, Lin Yuanye followed them to hide under the awning and eat watermelon. Not long after, he heard from a worker passing by the shed that someone from the government had come suddenly.

Thinking it was a routine inspection of potential safety hazards on the construction site and the quality of construction materials, the foreman hadn't finished eating the watermelon in his hand, so he rushed to the door with two or three people to greet him.

This matter has nothing to do with Lin Yuanye and the others. They were sitting in the awning, and none of them wanted to inquire about the situation.A few minutes later, Lin Yuanye saw from a distance under the shed that the foreman led the gentle man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, not only did not go to the construction area on the construction site, but walked straight towards the awning where they were.

Lin Yuanye subconsciously withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the man sitting beside him.Cheng Liao was fiddling with his mobile phone without looking up, and never glanced at those people in the distance from the beginning to the end.

After a while, the foreman led the man into the awning and stopped in front of Cheng Liao.

"This is it." The foreman pointed to Cheng Liao who was sitting at the table, and turned to answer the gentle man who looked like a secretary.

The workers watching the excitement all turned their attention to Cheng Liao who was sitting still.Seeing this, the foreman hurriedly called out Cheng Liao's name, trying to explain the identity of the person who came: "This is——"

The person who came directly interrupted the foreman, and said in a simple and clear way: "Cheng Liao, right? Ms. Yu asked me to send you the invitation letter."

The man took out three invitation letters from the briefcase, placed the first letter on the table closest to Cheng Liao, then stretched out his hand to adjust his glasses, looked around and asked, "Who is Chen Wa?"

The baby face hiding behind Lin Yuanye stood up and claimed his name with a dazed expression: "It's me."

Saving the effort of saying extra words, the man handed him the second invitation letter directly.

Babyface hastily wiped his hands on the hem of his trousers, reached out to take it nervously and in surprise, and confirmed to him in a somewhat incoherent way: "I, do I have it too?"

The man nodded slightly as an answer to his question.Everyone invariably focused their attention on the last invitation letter left in his hand.

To Lin Yuanye's surprise, the third invitation letter was for him.After Lin Yuanye reached out to take it, he even opened the invitation letter on the spot, took a look at the name printed inside, and confirmed that he was right.

The man completed the task of sending the invitation letter without any unnecessary actions, and even refused the watermelon delivered by the foreman, and quickly left the construction site.

All the workers rushed forward in an instant, surrounded Cheng Liao and Babyface eagerly, and reminded them to take apart the invitation letter to read.

The invitation letter printed the time and place of Yu Weiwei's birthday party, which was at a bar in the town on Saturday night.Perfectly avoiding Cheng Liao's working hours, he even thoughtfully invited Cheng Liao's friends.

From Yu Weiwei's point of view, he may also be included in the selection range of "Cheng Liao's friend".

"There's nothing to do on Saturday night." Babyface muttered softly, then turned to look at Cheng Liao expectantly, "Brother Cheng, are you going?"

"No." Cheng Liao said.

Although Babyface felt pity and regret in his heart, he also unconditionally supported the decision made by the other party.

Lin Yuanye didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but guessed casually in his heart, judging by Yu Weiwei's delicate and tight thoughts, the matter probably won't be solved simply like this.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the person who sent the letter was not Yu Weiwei himself, or someone else with an ordinary status, but someone from the government.

His guess was not wrong, considering the direction of things that Cheng Liao would reject, Yu Weiwei directly chose to start with the foreman.The foreman, who had sent the man away, quickly returned to the same way, and talked to Cheng Liao and Babyface.

The government is closely related to the inspection of the construction site. If the two of them accept the invitation letter and refuse to go, they are afraid that the other party will try to embarrass them in the future.And the person who came to send the invitation letter also clearly mentioned that as long as Cheng Liao can go tomorrow night, it will naturally become more convenient for them to deal with business at the construction site in the future.

What the foreman said to them was not so much a demand as a request.After the conversation, Cheng Liao promised that the other party would go.The foreman was naturally overjoyed and decided to make an exception to give them a holiday on Saturday.

Since Cheng Liao was going, Lin Yuanye would naturally go too.

The three of them made an appointment tomorrow afternoon to meet at Cheng Liao's place, and then go there together in the evening.Not long after Lin Yuanye came home that day, he heard from the bar owner that Yu Weiwei had reserved the bar on Saturday, and someone would come over to arrange the venue in advance tomorrow.

Although their meeting time was scheduled for the evening, Lin Yuanye went to Cheng Liao's place ahead of time at noon the next day, using the excuse that there was no food at home.

When the man came out to open the door, he was still dressed casually, with black hair and a slightly disheveled look.Walking in through the opened iron gate, Lin Yuanye couldn't help but turn around and ask him, "You didn't get up until noon?"

Reaching out to close the iron gate of the yard, Cheng Liao put his hands in the pockets of his big pants, hummed in a slightly low voice, and said unhurriedly, "I didn't buy any vegetables, what do you want to eat?"

"What did you plan to eat?" Without him leading the way, Lin Yuanye walked towards the house with ease.

"Cook noodles to eat." Cheng Liao said concisely.

Lin Yuanye was slightly stunned, recalling the difficulties in his daily life, and followed his words with the same tone: "I also eat noodles."

The man walked slowly past him in slippers, and went straight to open the door of the refrigerator in the corner.

Seeing him looking for ingredients to cook noodles in the kitchen, Lin Yuanye didn't know anything about cooking, so he didn't follow him, but consciously sat down on the sofa, waiting for the other party to ask him to serve the bowl.

However, the other party didn't ask him to serve the noodle bowl. It didn't seem like it would take too much time to cook the noodles. Cheng Liao quickly came out with the first bowl of noodles, put the noodle bowl and chopsticks in front of him, and signaled him to eat first.

Lin Yuanye picked up the chopsticks that were placed on the bowl, and glanced down at the noodles cooked by the other party.Although there are no side dishes for cooking noodles in the bowl, the red oil and spicy soup in the noodles looks very appetizing.

Holding the pair of chopsticks in his hand, he picked up the noodles in the bowl and slowly rolled them up.Unexpectedly, after unrolling the top layer of noodles, the golden and slightly burnt fried egg buried in the middle will completely reveal its original appearance.

Lin Yuanye raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the fried egg hidden in the bowl and took a bite.The crispy, crispy taste spread from his lips and teeth in an instant, and Lin Yuanye squinted his eyes happily, never thinking that he would also like the taste of fried eggs.

From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Liao sitting next to him with a noodle bowl, his eyes glanced at the chopsticks in the man's hand, Lin Yuanye suddenly looked thoughtful, "You live alone, why would you buy two pairs of chopsticks?"

Before the person in front of him could answer, he recalled by touch, that Cheng Liao also had two drinking cups here.However, from the fact that I borrowed the other party's slippers to wear while taking a bath here, I can see that Cheng Liao is not a person who is used to buying more daily necessities.

"Buy it for a spare." The man answered him.

"What are you going to spare?" Lin Yuanye subconsciously opened his mouth to answer, and only realized after asking, that he seemed to have fallen into the trap set by the other party again.

Sure enough, Cheng Liao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes slowly fell to the hand holding the chopsticks, "Isn't this going to come in handy?"

It was clearly an ordinary explanation, but for some reason, Lin Yuanye could hear faint heat on both sides of his ears.

But even so, Lin Yuanye still had enough rationality in his heart.After all, the two didn't know each other before, so the water glasses and chopsticks that Cheng Liao bought were naturally impossible for him.

His eyes moved quickly in mid-air, trying to change the topic as if nothing had happened, but when he saw the bowl of noodles that Cheng Liao was eating, a slight daze appeared on his face.

The noodles spread on top had been picked apart by the chopsticks, but there was no fried egg in Cheng Liao's bowl.

He looked up slightly confused, "Don't you eat fried eggs?"

"There is only one." Cheng Liao replied calmly.

Unable to tell what it was like in his heart, Lin Yuanye lowered his head and wanted to give him the egg in the bowl. When his eyes touched the gap on the fried egg, he remembered that the egg had already been bitten by him.

Lin Yuanye split the fried egg in half with chopsticks, wanting to give him the half he hadn't eaten.The mobile phone that was thrown on the sofa suddenly rang. While looking back for the mobile phone on the sofa, he asked the other party to take away the half of the fried egg he didn't eat.

Soon there was the sound of a man moving his chopsticks behind him, and Cheng Liao did not refuse to share the same fried egg with him.

Lin Yuanye found his mobile phone and answered the call, but it was a salesperson who asked him if he needed to buy a house.After hanging up the phone quickly, he turned around and picked up the chopsticks on the bowl again, and when he glanced at the half fried egg left in the bowl, he paused in surprise——

Except for the marks left by the tear, there was no gap where he had bitten on the fried egg.

He subconsciously raised his head to look at Cheng Liao, only to see that the other party held the fried egg he had eaten with the tip of his chopsticks, and he had already eaten most of it in the time he spent answering the phone.

"I bit your piece." Lin Yuanye said.

"Really?" Cheng Liao gave him a normal look, "I didn't notice."

As if not paying much attention to what he said, Cheng Liao slightly raised his hand and brought the last piece of fried egg on the tip of his chopsticks to his mouth.Finding that Lin Yuanye was still staring at him intently, the man paused with his right hand holding the chopsticks, with unpredictable emotions floating in his eyes, "I've already eaten."

"Or," Cheng Liao's bottomless black eyes suddenly locked his gaze, "Do you want to go back now?"

Lin Yuanye opened his mouth, "I—"

The other party didn't seem to be listening carefully.

He opened his mouth to bite the piece of fried egg, looked at Lin Yuanye calmly and said nothing.

His eyes fell on his lips, and Lin Yuanye's voice suddenly stopped.

Soon, it should be these few chapters.
