The coffee shop is a small mom-and-pop shop. After the phone call, the husband borrowed a car to deliver milk tea.Lin Yuanye had already greeted the foreman in advance, and the foreman brought someone back with milk tea, and quickly distributed it to other people on the construction site.

After drinking Lin Yuanye's milk tea, the workers greeted him with good-natured smiles.The baby face squatted by the vegetable field and drank milk tea, and after a while he asked curiously, "Brother Lin, how much is a cup of milk tea?"

"Not expensive." Lin Yuanye quoted a unit price, and the number did not exceed ten.

After Babyface heard this, she secretly became speechless.The price of a cup of milk tea is not expensive, but there are hundreds of people on their construction site.Calculated according to the headcount, it is almost catching up with their half a month's salary.

Apparently other than Babyface, someone else had done the calculation in private.Lin Yuanye also has a share in the iced milk tea, but the non-brand milk tea in the small town is still not as good as the chain brands in the city.He drank a few sips to relieve the heat, and then put the milk tea back at his feet without picking it up again.

A large shadow suddenly fell on the ground in front of him, and someone came up from behind him.Lin Yuanye raised his head to look, and when he caught a glimpse of the tall and strong figure of the other party, he subconsciously thought it was Cheng Liao.

It was only when the man sat down next to him and his eyes touched the somewhat unfamiliar face of the other party that he realized that the man who came was not Cheng Liao, but a young man with a tough silhouette.

The other party had a shorter cropped cut than Cheng Liao's, and a pair of slightly slanted slanted eyes looked a little sinister, not a friendly personality.

"My name is Yuan Cun." He grinned at Lin Yuanye, "Thank you for the milk tea."

Lin Yuanye quickly turned his gaze away from his face, "No need."

"Milk tea cost a lot of money, right?" Sensing his indifference, Yuan Cun pretended to ignore it, took out a pack of cigarettes from his body, and turned the mouth of the pack towards him, "Smoking? My cigarettes are easier to smoke than their cheap brands that cost a few dollars."

Hearing this, Lin Yuanye lowered his eyes and glanced at the cigarette case in his hand.As the other party said, the price of this pack of cigarettes can probably be worth the price of several more packs of cigarettes that Babyface can buy.

"Thank you, I don't smoke." He casually refused, raising his hand and lowering the brim of his hat on his forehead.

Yuan Cun laughed softly, without deliberately exploring the authenticity of his words, put the cigarette in his hand back into his trousers pocket, and then changed the topic and asked: "Are you doing architectural design work?"

Between the lines of his words, although there was a somewhat casual tone, it clearly revealed his strong interest in Lin Yuanye.

Lin Yuanye didn't expose him, and the face hidden under the baseball cap was already faintly showing boredom.He raised his eyelids and looked around, trying to find Cheng Liao.

Babyface and Brother Li were still squatting beside the vegetable field, the foreman and his wife were busy counting the vegetables that had been collected, Yan Yan stood a few meters away with an umbrella, but Cheng Liao was nowhere to be seen.

Searching around to no avail, Lin Yuanye cupped his cheeks with both hands, lowered his eyelids boredly to look at the ants crawling around his feet.

A slender palm with well-defined knuckles suddenly stretched out from under his hat.

Lin Yuanye frowned and raised his head. After seeing the vaguely familiar hand in front of him, he glanced at his side from the corner of his eye.Yuan Cun still sat beside him without moving, and even when he saw the hand that suddenly appeared, he didn't say anything.

The next second, Cheng Liao's deep voice sounded from above his head: "Let's go."

After a brief daze, Lin Yuanye quickly understood, and stretched out his hand naturally.Cheng Liao took his hand and pulled him up from the steps.

The man's hand that held him was released quickly, and then fell on his shoulder.Cheng Liao held his shoulders with both hands, turned him away from him, and glanced behind him with lowered eyes.

"Pat the ashes on your pants." He let go of Lin Yuanye's shoulder and reminded him softly.

Lin Yuanye lowered his head and patted his pants.After the filming, he noticed Yuan Cun's obvious gaze on him, raised his head in a good mood, slightly hooked the corners of his lips in Yuan Cun's gaze, then turned and followed Cheng Liao away.

Babyface and Brother Li stood not far away waiting for them, and when the two approached, Babyface lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lin, don't talk too much with Yuan Cun."

Lin Yuanye looked at him with slight doubts in his eyes.

"The construction site knows that we are familiar with you. A while ago, we had a conflict with him in our dormitory, and we almost got into a fight. Brother Cheng came forward to resolve this matter." Babyface explained to him, "We are also afraid that he will get angry. You are the one who asked Brother Cheng to call you over."

In this way, Cheng Liao's actions just now seemed to have a reasonable explanation.Lin Yuanye nodded and replied, "I see."

The construction site didn't get off work until seven o'clock in the evening, and Lin Yuanye went back with his drawing board before meal time.Throwing down the drawing board when he got home, he immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower, and changed the sweat-soaked shirt on his body.

The sweat-stained shirt became wrinkled, and Lin Yuanye threw the clothes into the trash can without lacking the money to buy the shirt.When he went to the construction site the next day, he learned to be smart and dug out a cheap and durable T-shirt from the closet to change into.

After returning yesterday evening, Lin Yuanye didn't go out again.

When he opened the door facing the front yard, his eyes touched the damp ground outside the corridor, and he realized that it really rained last night.

At this time, the light in the air was clear and bright, and although the sun in the sky was rarely blocked by clouds, it was still a dry and fine day.Even thanks to the rain last night, Lin Yuanye finally felt the rare freshness and coolness after the rain in the dog days of July.

Summer temperatures have finally dropped.

After seeing the white and clean clouds in the sky, he didn't pay attention to the weather changes in the mobile phone, and at the same time gave up the idea of ​​going back to get an umbrella. Lin Yuanye walked out of the yard with the drawing board on his back, and walked towards the construction site in the distance.

It seems to be a busy day at the construction site.For a whole morning, Lin Yuanye sat under the awning, but he never saw Cheng Liao and others appear in his field of vision.

He didn't move around anymore, and after picking up the brush, he never put it down again.

When it was almost noon, someone unexpectedly came over.Yuan Cun came out of the shed with a bunch of grapes, saw him sitting alone under the shed, walked in at a leisurely pace, went straight behind him, bent over his face, and asked warmly: "What is the great painter painting?"

Lin Yuanye turned his head to the side, and did not intentionally cover the lines drawn on the drawing paper.The painting is a simple and scribbled architectural structure, there is nothing that cannot be seen by others.

Yuan Cun should have believed it, straightened up from his side, handed the bunch of grapes in his hand to Lin Yuanye's eyes, and asked with a soft smile, "Will the great painter eat the grapes I just took? "

Lin Yuanye sat on the stool without moving, had no intention of answering him, and never reached out to answer him.

After waiting patiently for a while, Yuan Cun narrowed his eyes in displeasure, "Does the great painter think the grapes are not clean?"

"Thank you, I don't eat grapes." Ignoring the obvious emotional change in the other party's tone, Lin Yuanye put down his brush, stood up, and walked out of the shed.

The people in the shed originally planned to chase after him, but saw someone calling Lin Yuanye to stop him in the distance, so they gave up.He sat down in front of Lin Yuanye's stool, crossed his legs and ate grapes while humming.

Grapes look sweet and juicy, but they are sour in the mouth.Yuan Cun pulled his face down in an instant, and spat out the grapes and their leather seeds at his feet. Look at his drawing paper.

Unexpectedly, he found the painting hidden on the second page just by flipping through it.

Recognizing the familiar outline and facial features of the man in the painting, Yuan Cun stared at it for a moment, then hummed a song and gently tore the painting off the drawing board, folded it up and stuffed it into his pants pocket.

During lunch, Lin Yuanye heard from Brother Li that the weather forecast reminded that there might be heavy rain in the afternoon.If the rain is too heavy, all work on the construction site can only be suspended for the safety of the workers.

Suspension of work can easily delay the progress of the entire construction period. In the morning, the foreman called everyone for a meeting, hoping that everyone can speed up their work a little.In order to cooperate and respond to the foreman, there were naturally few people who sneaked in and passed by the arbor.

Lin Yuanye was stunned for a moment, and then he took out his phone and took a look.Sure enough, the weather software on the mobile phone showed that there would be heavy rain in the whole town in the afternoon.

Knowing well that he didn't bring an umbrella, Lin Yuanye didn't show any worry on his face, and he didn't have the slightest plan to go home early after dinner.He finished his lunch leisurely and continued to go back to the arbor to paint.

The workers' lunch break was forced to be greatly shortened, and not long after eating, they all returned to the construction area.And when he walked out of the dining shed, he caught a glimpse of the gradually dark and oppressive sky at the end of his field of vision, and the thick dark clouds on the horizon, Lin Yuanye had already believed in the weather forecast for the most part.

The heavy rain came around three o'clock in the afternoon.

At first, it was just scattered light raindrops hidden in the cool wind. In less than 2 minutes, it evolved into soybean-sized raindrops visible to the naked eye. Finally, the sound of penetrating the wind and hitting the roof was clearly audible. A huge curtain of rain that obscures vision.

Lin Yuanye sat under the shed and looked out, and saw the tall building skeleton in the distance, which was quickly submerged in the hazy rain and mist mixed with two colors of indigo and light gray, engulfed together, and those Tiny yellow dots that loom when moving under the shelf.

That's the color of the hard hat on the worker's head.

The workers seemed to have stopped work and evacuated, and Lin Yuanye also got up and began to pack up the drawing boards, paper and pens, preparing to run to the workers' dormitory building in the rain.

But at this time, in the increasingly heavy rain, there seemed to be the sound of hurried footsteps from far to near.Lin Yuanye didn't stop moving his hands, Xunsheng raised his head to look at the rain, and saw Cheng Liao's handsome and familiar face gradually appearing clearly from the gray rain curtain.

Lin Yuanye stopped what he was doing, and followed the figure in the rain with his eyes from afar, until the man put on the raincoat on his head and strode into the shed where he was.

Taking off the coat covering his head, Cheng Liao caught sight of Lin Yuanye standing motionless in the shed, grabbed the coat and frowned, "You didn't go back?"

Having thought out his speech in advance, he said calmly: "I was painting, and I didn't pay attention to the weather and time."

The other party frowned and asked, "Have you brought an umbrella?"

"No." Lin Yuanye slowly shook his head under the man's gaze.

"Don't bring an umbrella and don't look at the weather," Cheng Liao said in a cold voice, "How do you plan to go back?"

Lin Yuanye met his gaze silently, and blinked slowly after a while, "I haven't thought about it yet."

The man stopped looking at him, shook the raindrops on the coat in his hand, and unfolded the coat again, revealing the inner lining of the coat that was not exposed to the rain, "Come here."

Lin Yuanye was stunned for a second, and then he came to his senses.The meaning of Cheng Liao's words was probably to invite him to share the coat to keep out the rain.Happy with the current development, he subconsciously stepped forward.

After taking two steps, I heard the other party speak briefly: "Drawing board."

Lin Yuanye turned around and took the drawing board by the table, and when he turned his head and saw Cheng Liao walking towards him with his coat in both hands, he took the initiative to take it with one hand.

The loose jacket with the residual body temperature of a man fell from his front cover, instantly covering Lin Yuanye tightly, with only a pair of black and white eyes exposed outside.

Lin Yuanye's beautiful eyes were soon stained with obvious bewilderment and astonishment.

"Dirty?" Cheng Liao asked accurately capturing the emotion in his eyes.

"No—" Lin Yuanye wanted to ask him, didn't they hide together?

"It's useless to think it's dirty." Pressing his hand that was about to lift his clothes, the man interrupted him with a flat face, "You don't have an umbrella."

"If you don't want to wear my clothes, remember to bring an umbrella next time you go out," Cheng Liao said.
