Lin Yuanye was a little disappointed, but he didn't show too much surprise.He put the clothes back on his shoulders without changing his expression, and just as his fingertips touched the button seam on the edge of the shirt, he heard footsteps coming upstairs from outside.

He didn't speak, and quietly accelerated the action of fastening the buttons in his hands.

The visitor walked straight to the dormitory they were in, and then stopped outside the door very measuredly.

"Brother Cheng, are you inside?" The clear and familiar voice of a young girl sounded from outside the door, "Daddy asked me to come up and ask you to eat."

Cheng Liao took a look at Lin Yuanye without answering the outsider's words.

After confirming that his button had been fastened to the neckline, the man said slowly, "Yes, come in."

Only then did Yan Yan step in from the door.

The girl wore a clean and refreshing ponytail, and had two washed apples in her hand, "Brother Cheng, I washed the apples downstairs—" She had a green and cute smile on her face, and put the slightly larger apple Pass it to the man.

Before he could finish his sentence, he found Lin Yuanye standing beside him, and the smile on Yanyan's face froze suddenly.

The girl's ears were a little red, and she resolutely handed the apple that should have been reserved for herself to Lin Yuanye who was watching their interaction, "Brother Lin," she seemed to have never experienced such a predicament, her voice stuttered, "This, this is for you."

Lin Yuanye shook his head, "Thank you, I won't eat."

Cheng Liao didn't reach out to pick it up, but just stood there motionless and said, "Don't wait for us, you go and eat first. I'll get him a hair dryer."

Yan Yan hugged Apple and nodded, then turned and walked out obediently.

Soon the sound of her going downstairs was heard outside the door, Lin Yuanye withdrew his distracted mind, picked up the shirt fabric on his chest and said, "You don't need to look for it, it's already dry."

In the midsummer heat of July, even if you are in a place where the sun does not shine, your wet clothes will dry quickly.

Cheng Liao didn't speak, and raised his hand to close the cabinet behind him.

Instead of staying in the dormitory, the two went downstairs to eat in the shed.There are electric fans in the dining shed, and the workers who have been busy for several hours sit around the table and chat. The aroma of the food is mixed with the pungent smell of smoke that lingers into the sky.

This seems to be a simple canteen on the construction site.

Sitting at the table in the back, Babyface waved vigorously at them and said, "Brother Cheng, here."

Lin Yuanye followed behind Cheng Liao, passed between the seats by the door, and walked towards the end of the shed.Most of the workers who were eating noticed Lin Yuanye's unfamiliar face, and they stopped talking at the same time, and looked at him consciously or unconsciously.

He pretended to be ignorant of this, and walked out of those people's scrutiny without looking sideways.

Most of the people sitting with Babyface were familiar faces that Lin Yuanye had seen in the bar that night.Lin Yuanye greeted him with a smile, and instead of moving his chopsticks immediately after sitting down, he raised his eyes to scan the number of people eating.

The food on the construction site is not as unpalatable as imagined, and the meat and vegetables are reasonably matched.The taste of the vegetables is even fresher than the vegetables that are occasionally eaten in the city.

"The vegetables are grown by the foreman and sister-in-law on the construction site." Babyface introduced to him enthusiastically.

Before Lin Yuanye could answer, someone followed him and said: "By the way, the foreman said that it will rain in the town from tonight, and the unfinished vegetables will easily rot in the field if they get wet in the rain. Let me call two people After eating, go to the field to help collect the vegetables."

The person who spoke was the older man in the bar that night.

The fan in the shed rattled the door curtain, and Lin Yuanye glanced out through the crack of the curtain.The sky outside the greenhouse was clear and blue, the sun was hot and glaring, and there was no sign of rain at all.

"I'll go with you, Brother Li." Babyface offered, then turned around and asked Cheng Liao, "Brother Cheng?"

Cheng Liao said, "Yes."

Brother Li nodded, "Okay, then the three of us will go."

Lin Yuanye asked politely, "Can I go with you to have a look?"

"Of course no problem." Babyface replied with a smile.

Not long after lunch, a few people planned to leave to collect vegetables in the vegetable field.

Lin Yuanye didn't want to walk back and forth under the sun with his face uncovered, so he said to the three people in front of him, "Go first, I'll get my hat."

Cheng Liao stood still, and when Brother Li and Baby Face looked at him, he said in a normal tone, "I'll go back and drink a glass of water."

The two left first, leaving Lin Yuanye and Cheng Liao behind, each turned to do their own things.

Before he left, he didn't agree with Cheng Liao, and he still met here after taking the things, and the man didn't explicitly say that he would wait for him, but after Lin Yuanye got the hat, he returned to the place where they parted ways.

After drinking the water, Cheng Liao returned to the original place and waited for him.Seeing him appearing in sight from a distance, the man didn't take any sun protection measures, and just walked straight into the sun.

Lin Yuanye chased after him wearing a hat. In such a short time, the back of his shirt was slightly soaked again.

He looked up at Cheng Liao who was walking beside him, and asked jokingly, "Where do you buy your vests?"

The latter didn't answer, but simply spit out two words: "Look at the road."

Lin Yuanye hurriedly glanced ahead from the corner of his eye, and bypassed the stone in the middle of the road in time.

"A nearby grocery market." Cheng Liao said.

The vision trapped under the brim of the hat was greatly restricted, Lin Yuanye was busy looking down at the road, and gave a absent-minded hum.

The man didn't speak, and his eyes slowly fell on the slender back of his neck that was exposed from the collar of his shirt.The white skin that gradually recovered during the meal, now under the sun's exposure, a small patch of obvious red appeared.

"You don't wear sunscreen when you go out?" Cheng Liao said in a low voice.

Lin Yuanye raised his head to look at him, with unexpected emotion in his eyes.

"I see the words slipped by." The other party explained in a flat tone.

Hearing this, Lin Yuanye paid attention to his address for a second, then raised his eyebrows slightly, "She's a girl, I'm not."

In the time it took to talk, the two of them were almost there.

Seeing Cheng Liao's figure from a distance, Yan Yan, holding a small and beautiful parasol, walked quickly towards them from the vegetable field.Lin Yuanye also saw her, and he subconsciously glanced at the man beside him from the corner of his eye, trying to capture any subtle reactions on his face when he saw the girl.

Cheng Liao stopped in place.

Lin Yuanye didn't know what to do, but he also stopped in his tracks.

The other party didn't seem to care about the girl's appearance, but looked down at Lin Yuanye slightly, and said in a straightforward tone: "I will get sunburned."

Lin Yuanye was stunned for a moment, unable to react immediately, but saw the man stretch out his hand towards him without warning.

"If you're not a girl, you'll get sunburned too." Cheng Liao said.

His rough and hot fingertips gently scraped the back of Lin Yuanye's neck.

"It's red." Cheng Liao retracted his fingers and reminded lightly.

Lin Yuanye didn't answer, but the scraped small piece of skin on the back of his neck suddenly burned up, as if borrowed from a wind that didn't know where it came from.

He stood still, squinting at Yan Yan holding an umbrella to meet Cheng Liao who had already walked a few steps away.Even though the parasol was a bit small, the girl still quietly stood on tiptoe and tried to raise the umbrella in her hand, trying to shield the person in front of her from the sun.

"No need." Cheng Liao refused her.

But even so, the man still stretched out his hand to give her a hand when the other party stepped on a stone on the sole of her shoe and lost her balance and was about to fall.

"This doesn't mean anything." Lin Yuanye, who had witnessed the whole process, reached out to touch the hot brand Cheng Liao left on the back of his neck, and whispered to himself.

According to the usual style of conduct, he called the coffee shop where he stayed yesterday afternoon and treated everyone on the construction site to drink iced milk tea.When he saw the supply of milk tea on the price list of the coffee shop yesterday, Lin Yuanye wrote down the phone number of the shop.

But Lin Yuanye, who made such a move, obviously didn't realize at the moment that these free iced milk teas soon caused him a little trouble.
