bite

Lin Yuanye didn't refuse any more, he handed his drawing board to Cheng Liao, indicating that he could use it to keep out the rain.The two came out of the shed and ran towards the dormitory building in the rain.

Most of the workers had already returned to their dormitories, and the two-story building suddenly became lively and crowded.Cheng Liao took him into that dormitory yesterday, Babyface and Brother Li sat by the bed and looked at their mobile phones, Cheng Liao took a rag and wiped off the rain on Lin Yuanye's drawing board.

Lin Yuanye took off the coat covering his head, stood by the door and shook the water droplets on the clothes, then turned around and hung the clothes on the back of the empty chair next to him.

The rain outside the window seemed to be increasing instead of decreasing, and the rain continued to hit the glass outside the window, making a rapid crackling sound.When the workers in the dormitory saw Lin Yuanye, they were all surprised that he didn't go back early.

"It's raining so much, Xiao Lin, how do you go back?" Brother Li asked with concern, "Do you live near here?"

Lin Yuanye paused slightly, and replied, "Not very close."

"Then don't we have to wait for the rain to stop before leaving?" Babyface lowered his head and opened the software on his phone, "The weather forecast says it will rain until night."

Cheng Liao came over with two chairs. After sitting down, he frowned and asked, "Which one of you still has an umbrella? Lend it to him first."

Babyface said: "I have already lent Brother Li my umbrella, he is going to pick up my sister-in-law from get off work."

Cheng Liao asked other people in the dormitory. Some people have wives and children, and they don't live in the collective dormitory on the construction site on weekdays. They all need umbrellas to go home.

The situation is similar in the dormitory next door, and for those workers who don't need to go out, their umbrellas have already been borrowed by others.Cheng Liao finally borrowed Yanyan's parasol that fell on the construction site yesterday from the foreman.

In front of the man, Lin Yuanye opened the small and cute parasol for a look, then raised his face calmly, and said to Cheng Liao's eyes: "The umbrella is too small, it can't cover too big rain."

Babyface couldn't help but interjected and asked, "There's only one umbrella for the two of us, Brother Cheng, how are you going to get back?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuanye looked at Cheng Liao with surprise, "You don't live here?"

The man hummed casually, "I live close, so I don't need an umbrella when I go back."

Lin Yuanye didn't speak, but secretly pondered the situation of the workers' accommodation.Most of the people living in the dormitory are young and single workers. Cheng Liao doesn’t live in the collective dormitory on the construction site, so he also has a wife and children?

Thinking of the possibility of being ignored by him for a long time, he suddenly felt a bit stuck in his throat.

The baby face over there is still enthusiastically suggesting: "Since this is the case, why don't you go home with Brother Cheng first, and then take a bigger umbrella from Brother Cheng?"

"I think it's a good idea." Brother Li agreed aloud.

The eyes of several people fell on Lin Yuanye, waiting for the person concerned to speak.Recovering from their gazes, Lin Yuanye replied casually: "Yes."

Although he was somewhat disappointed and disappointed, Cheng Liao could tell if he had a wife and children by visiting the other party's house.

Suppressing the urgency in his heart, Lin Yuanye stood up holding the drawing board and said, "Let's go now."

Babyface stretched its neck and looked out the window, "But it's still raining heavily—"

From the corner of his eye, he saw that Cheng Liao also got up to grab the coat hanging on the back of the chair, and he didn't seem to object to Lin Yuanye's proposal.

After watching them say goodbye, the two walked out of the dormitory door, sitting on the edge of the bed with a baby face and looking dazed.He was not in a hurry to leave a few minutes ago, but for some reason now, he suddenly became more anxious than Brother Li who had a wife at home to pick him up.

Lin Yuanye had no way of knowing what Babyface was thinking, and he and Cheng Liao left the construction site holding the umbrella.

Fortunately, when I walked out of the gate of the construction site, the rain falling in the sky gradually decreased.Therefore, although a small sun umbrella could not completely cover the two of them at the same time, it also avoided the drenched mess.

At least except for the shoulders and arms exposed outside the umbrella, the rest of Lin Yuanye's body was clean and dry.

Cheng Liao lived in the old one-story house on the slope opposite the construction site road.There was no sidewalk outside the construction site, so the two walked along the fence of the construction site and on the road for a while.

Large and small vehicles on the road pass back and forth in the rain, and the section of the road outside the fence of the construction site happens to be in an obvious low-lying terrain.The road was full of shallow puddles, and Lin Yuanye hadn't walked far before his trouser legs were wet.

The legs of the trousers were cold and wet against the skin of the calf, he called to stop Cheng Liao and said, "Wait for me."

The man held an umbrella and stopped to wait for him.

Lin Yuanye bent down and rolled up the trouser legs on both sides, revealing two slender and white legs.

Cheng Liao's eyes lightly passed over his calf, and he reminded in a flat tone: "There are a lot of cars on the road, don't stay too long."

Lin Yuanye straightened up in his voice, motioning for him to continue walking forward, "How long will it take from your house to the construction site?"

"5 minutes." Cheng Liao paused, then added, "If you don't wait for the red light."

Lin Yuanye murmured as usual, "Do you eat breakfast at home every day?"

Cheng Liao did not deny it.

Without asking who will cook the breakfast, Lin Yuanye began to ask him without any trace: "Is the dormitory on your construction site free?"

"Yes." Cheng Liao said.

Lin Yuanye looked thoughtful, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and asked in a normal tone, "Then why don't you live in the dormitory on the construction site?"

"Pay attention to your feet." Without answering him immediately, the man reminded him abruptly.

Lin Yuanye was stunned for a moment, and when he looked down, he realized that there was a puddle of water near his feet.The area of ​​the puddles is not small, and has even extended to the center of the road. At this time, rainwater is still pouring into it one after another.

He calculated the width of the puddle in his mind, and wanted to try to cross over the puddle.And during this short period of time, Cheng Liao seemed to have no intention of answering him again.

Lin Yuanye raised his eyes to glance at the man's side face, but did not read any obvious emotional changes from the man's face.It was impossible to deduce that the other party did not answer on purpose, or maybe it was just temporarily interrupting the thoughts in his mind.

For the second time, he looked down at the puddle in front of him.

Instead of trying to figure it out here, it is better to ask directly.If you can't get the answer you want, then there is no need for you to step over this puddle that blocks people's progress.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuanye looked up at him again, "You don't live in the dormitory, is it because you are also married?"

The man's eyebrows seemed to be slightly raised unexpectedly.

His gaze fell behind him suddenly, and Cheng Liao spoke something to him quickly, but Lin Yuanye didn't have time to hear it clearly.

In the next second, the car that hadn't slowed down came up next to him, the tires on the bottom of the car were spinning at a high speed, and it rolled heavily into the puddle that extended outwards, splashing high water behind Lin Yuanye.

The turbid water mixed with muddy loess splashed onto Lin Yuanye's calf with his trousers rolled up in pieces.Through the thin material of the summer clothes, he even quickly felt the slight coolness of the cloth soaked in muddy water on the position of his back waist and thighs.

Leaving only a buttock of car exhaust, the "caused" driver did not slow down at all, and drove away quickly with the "caused" vehicle.Lin Yuanye was stunned in place, and there was even a momentary emotional blankness on his face.

At this time, he recalled what Cheng Liao said, telling him to be careful of the car driving behind him.The man held an umbrella in one hand and a jacket in the other, and it seemed that he didn't have time to reach out and pull him away.

Taking into account the change of expression on his face, Cheng Liao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and handed him the coat in his hand, "You put on my coat first."

Lin Yuanye subconsciously reached out to take it, but didn't put it on.He is now dirtier than Cheng Liao's coat, and he doesn't want to dirty his coat again.

"I—" Lin Yuanye shook his head with his coat in his arms, wanting to tell Cheng Liao that he still didn't wear it.

Before he finished speaking, the hand holding the jacket was tightly held by Cheng Liao.Feeling the huge pulling force from the wrist, Lin Yuanye slammed into the opponent's arms without any defense.

A two-wheeled motorcycle with a roaring engine carried the driver's amazing drifting skills on the road in the rain, and quickly rolled over the puddle behind him.

Lin Yuanye narrowly avoided repeating the same mistakes again.

"What do you want to say? If it's the question just now," Cheng Liao's deep voice sounded from the top of his head accompanied by a slight vibration in the other's chest, "I'm not married yet."
