Before leaving, Lin Yuanye drank the glass of water unceremoniously.

Going to the bookstore to buy books was just a temporary excuse. After coming out of the construction site, Lin Yuanye stood at the intersection and thought for a while, and finally went to the bookstore to buy two books at the address given by the girl.

The bookstore is located near the center of the town, and there is a small coffee shop next to it.Lin Yuanye took the bag containing the books, went to sit down in the shop next door, ordered a glass of iced Americano, then took out the book from the bag, opened it, and began to read it seriously.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Lin Yuanye got up, checked out and left, walking back along the way he remembered.On the way home, he still passed by outside the construction site.

But this time, before he could make up a reason for himself in advance, he was enthusiastically stopped by the baby face squatting on the side of the road smoking.The other party looked young, but he was quite addicted to smoking.

Seemingly unaware of his visit at noon, Baby Face stood up and greeted him: "Why are you here?"

Lin Yuanye picked up the bag containing the books in his hand and showed him, "Go to the bookstore and buy two books."

Babyface's eyes followed his words, "I know this bookstore, Yanyan bought books there before."

"Yanyan?" Lin Yuanye showed a little surprise at the right time.

"Our foreman's daughter, a college student with good grades." Babyface quickly explained to him.

Lin Yuanye nodded, and then smiled at him, "I'm a bit thirsty, can I have a glass of water at your construction site?"

Babyface led him to the awning on the construction site, turned around and left to pour water for him.

Yan Yan happened to be sitting in the shed playing with his mobile phone, and raised his head when he heard the sound. ,

Lin Yuanye looked at the corners of her lips slightly curved, and asked casually, "Where's Cheng Liao?"

Recognizing him as the young man who came to ask for directions at noon, he was stunned in words, "Brother Cheng is still busy, do you know Brother Cheng?"

Lin Yuanye said, "I know."

Yan Yan nodded awkwardly and did not speak again.

The baby face poured water quickly, and Lin Yuanye took it with one hand, put the book bag on the side of the table, and thanked him.

The baby face's eyes were attracted by the bag beside the table, "Did you buy a novel?"

"It's a book related to architectural structures." Lin Yuanye took the two books out of the bag.

The two people in front of them looked a little surprised and surprised.

"Did you learn this?" Babyface asked curiously.

He didn't ask Lin Yuanye if he had gone to college. The other party was clean both in terms of appearance and dress, obviously living in a world completely different from his own.

Although Babyface didn't read many books, he knew that this question was obviously superfluous for Lin Yuanye.

"No." Lin Yuanye shook his head, "I'm a student of painting." He lied slightly, "I recently received a job in this field, but I'm not very familiar with architectural structures."

"I wasn't familiar with it when I first came out to look for a job." The baby face smiled, showing two rows of white and neat teeth. "After staying on the construction site for a while, I can get familiar with it without reading a book."

Lin Yuanye looked at him in surprise.

Seen by him, he gradually became nervous, and the baby face stumbled and asked: "What, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." The corners of Lin Yuanye's lips rose slightly, "Thank you for providing me with a new idea."

The next second, he turned his head and looked at the girl next to him, "Is your name Yanyan right? Yanyan," Lin Yuanye's eyes were filled with sincerity and anticipation, "Can you do me a favor? ?”

The girl who was stared at by him without daring to blink replied in the same tone of embarrassment: "Yes, of course."

A few minutes later, she called her mother, who was helping on the construction site.A middle-aged woman in her early forties, when she saw Lin Yuanye's clean and superior face, she couldn't help showing a little embarrassment when she thought of her face covered with plaster that had never been washed.

Lin Yuanye pretended not to notice, and greeted the woman with a beautiful smile, "Hi sister, my name is Lin Yuanye."

The woman was surprisingly talkative, and soon called her husband for him.

Obviously, Lin Yuanye was lucky. The woman's husband didn't seem to be the type with a bad temper and was difficult to get along with.

The other party agreed very readily, on the premise that he would not interfere with their construction, and his own personal safety issues were not covered by the guarantee clauses attached to the construction site.

Lin Yuanye naturally expressed that he could fully understand.

In the end, although he didn't see Cheng Liao on the construction site, he was satisfied and returned home with the books he bought.

In the morning of the next day, Lin Yuanye went to the construction site with the ashes from his home on his back.When he arrived, the people on the construction site had already started work.He didn't deliberately look for Cheng Liao's trace, he put the drawing board under the awning, and sat facing the drawing board for a long time in the shed.

It wasn't until the baby face passed by outside the shed that he stopped the person and asked, "Can I take a closer look? I won't cause you any trouble."

Babyface said, "Wait a minute."

He ran to look for spare helmets for Lin Yuanye, bumped into Cheng Liao on the way, and asked casually, "Brother Cheng, do you have any spare helmets?"

Cheng Liao said, "Yes."

The man turned around to help him get the helmet, and the baby-face trotted back under the arbor, waiting with Lin Yuanye.When Cheng Liao came over with his hard hat, he saw Lin Yuanye sitting under the shed.

Lin Yuanye is still wearing a white shirt and black trousers today, which looks out of place in the dusty and messy construction site.Sweeping his eyes over the baby face next to him, he seemed to have expected it in his heart, instead of handing the helmet to the baby face, Cheng Liao looked straight at Lin Yuanye, "You want the hat?"

The latter slowly stood up from the stool, like an elegant artist who accidentally stepped here, and stretched out his hands to Cheng Liao with a natural expression, "Thank you."

Cheng Liao didn't move with his helmet under his arm, "Why are you here?"

Before Lin Yuanye could answer, Babyface had already given an explanation.

After Cheng Liao listened, there was not much emotion on his face, and he threw the helmet directly to him.Lin Yuanye firmly caught the hat with both hands, and fiddled with it twice, "How do I wear this?"

Babyface reminded: "You have to take off the hat on your head first."

Lin Yuanye did as he was told, took off the baseball cap that was pressing on his hair, and put it aside.After doing this, with doubts in his eyes, he looked up at the two people in front of him.

Cheng Liao didn't seem to have any intention of helping, he just put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood there watching indifferently.

Babyface took the hard hat and put it on top of his head. He took the initiative to adjust the position of the inner lining of the hat for him, then stretched out his hand and gently gestured at his chin, "The chin strap needs to be fastened."

Hearing this, Lin Yuanye stretched out his fingertips and groped around his face to find the chinstrap.

Babyface enthusiastically proposed again: "Let me tie it for you."

Lin Yuanye really put down his hands, raised his chin obediently, and waited for him to help him tie it.The baby face approached seriously, and just touched the chin strap of the hat with his hand, when he heard someone calling him to help in the distance.

The baby face hurriedly backed away from Lin Yuanye, turned his head and hurriedly said to Cheng Liao: "Brother Cheng, help him tie it, I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, he ran into the sunshine outside the shed without looking back.

After confirming that the footsteps in his ears were getting farther and farther away, Lin Yuanye lowered his face slightly, and his eyes slowly fell to Cheng Liao's face.Seeing that the man was still standing still, he blinked his eyes slowly, "Can you help me?" Lin Yuanye's tone was deliberately slowed down, slightly raising his voice with a hint of questioning, "Brother Cheng?"

The calm emotion in the man's eyes moved, and he walked towards him with strides, and reached out to pinch the chinstrap hanging from the side of his face.

"What do you think of wearing a white shirt to the construction site?" Cheng Liao lowered his eyes slightly, and said casually, "If you don't want to wash your clothes every day, don't wear them next time."
