Hidden Summer

It was only after seven o'clock on Sunday morning, and Li Hang lifted Cao Liyu out of bed.

It stands to reason that Li Hang should be the one who can't get up the most among the three, but when it comes to important things, he must get up early. As long as he silently recites the wake-up time a few times the night before, he can perfectly overcome the depression the next day. Blood pressure wakes up on time.Cao Liyu admired this heaven-defying biological clock.

In a daze, he went to brush his teeth and wash his face, went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, and then returned to the living room, only to find that a hot and delicious breakfast had been set on the table waiting to be enjoyed.And Li Hang was standing on the terrace with Xiao Yu, bathed in the morning light, chatting while taking care of the "world".

This picture is so warm and beautiful. For a moment, Cao Liyu had the thought of "how good it would be to grow old like this", and this thought touched an unknown part of his heart.

When going out, Cao Liyu murmured that he was sleepy, and forced Xiao Yu to sit in the back seat with him, then found a comfortable position on Xiao Yu's shoulder and leaned against him, closing his eyes contentedly like a napping cat.

The car didn't start immediately, Cao Liyu opened his eyes as if sensing something, saw Li Hang looking at him from the rearview mirror, and asked proudly, "What are you looking at? I want to go back to sleep, you don't envy me Yes. Little Li, concentrate on driving and don’t miss out.”

Li Hang looked away and started the car: "Didn't I tell you to go to bed early last night? Why did you still dawdle until one o'clock? Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder to go to bed late?"

Cao Liyu hummed dissatisfiedly: "It's been a long time since I played a game with someone, my hands are just too itchy."

"This is a disease. It needs to be cured. Remember to go out and take medicine. If your hands are itchy, tell me earlier, and I'll buy you Daknine ointment."

"Go away! Drive your car and let me go to sleep!"

Speaking of Cao Liyu formally closed his eyes to block all disturbances, Xiao Yu stroked his temples and relaxed his body so that Cao Liyu could lean more comfortably.Li Hang would like to follow Cao Liyu's teaching to "concentrate on driving", but he didn't know what he was thinking about with his expressionless face.

The car drove to the destination smoothly, and it only took 10 minutes, just enough for a nap.Cao Liyu really fell asleep while the car was shaking all the way, Xiao Yu shook his shoulders, and called out twice, Cao Liyu didn't want to wake up, he muttered twice in his throat, but turned his head and tightened his face Bury it into the socket of Xiao Yu's shoulder.

Xiao Yu laughed, and helplessly patted Cao Liyu's face: "Get up, how can anyone sleep so comfortably in the car?"

Cao Liyu raised his hand to grab Xiao Yu's disturbing hand, put it on his knee, and muttered: "I'm awake, let me squint for a while."

Just as Xiao Yu was about to say something, Li Hang in the driver's seat threw the car keys, opened the car door and got out: "I'm going to smoke a cigarette and wait for you at the gate of the parking lot."

Xiao Yu took the car key reflexively, and saw Li Hang strode out of his sight, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"Is that guy addicted to cigarettes?" Cao Liyu murmured with his eyes closed.

Xiao Yu didn't answer, just moved his shoulders, signaled Cao Liyu to sit up, and opened the car door: "Let's get out of the car too, don't make Hang wait any longer, we'll finish our business early and go home before you catch up on sleep."

Cao Liyu rubbed his eyes, got out of the car obediently, stretched himself, and walked towards the exit with Xiao Yu.Sure enough, Li Hang was smoking at the exit, that is, the smoking area at the back door of a large shopping mall. While smoking, he was fascinated to watch the smoke he exhaled was quickly blown away by the cold wind. Even Cao Liyu and Xiao Yu walked beside him. Not found.

"Hey, why are you smoking a cigarette and posing with such a decadent and melancholy look? No one appreciates it here except us." Cao Liyu felt that Li Hang's smoking posture was comparable to the male model in the advertisement from a distance, and when he approached Looking at it is even more melancholic, sexy, and masculine, and there are two beautiful girls standing next to it, which is simply the scene of a fashion blockbuster.But Li Hang actually ignored himself who was envious in his heart, and couldn't help but spoil the atmosphere.

Hearing the sound, Li Hang turned his head and looked at Cao Liyu, who was still wearing the red mark protruding from Xiao Yu's shoulder, and replied flatly: "I don't want others to appreciate it, I just smoke."

Cao Liyu twitched his lips: "I'll give ten points to this dude for pretending well."

Li Hang smiled, and his three-dimensional and profound eyebrows softened: "I just lit the cigarette, why don't you squint for a while? Uncle Cao, what dream did you have just now? Your saliva is drooling." Putting his hand in the pocket of his coat, he used his thumb to remove a little water stain from the corner of Cao Liyu's mouth.

Cao Liyu was stunned for a moment, watching Li Hang casually twirled his long, slender fingers with sharp knuckles, and then put that hand back into his pocket.Li Hang's hands were dry and warm. Because of the frequent pruning of branches and leaves, his fingertips and knuckles were covered with calluses. The rough and hard texture brushed against the touch of his soft lips made Cao Liyu's face unconsciously blush .

He coughed dryly and turned his gaze away, looking at Xiao Yu who was standing silently aside: "Little Yu'er, didn't my saliva get on you?"

Xiao Yu shook his head, with a shallow smile pampering: "No." He looked at Li Hang again, and noticed the gloomy look in his eyes.

"Yo, Xiao Cao is here too?"

Liang Dong's voice was still so recognizable, it rang when Cao Liyu just stepped into the store.It's not that Liang Dong's voice is so peculiar, but the ruffian tone in his every sentence, Cao Liyu really only heard it from him.

Cao Liyu greeted with a smile. I don't know why he still feels a little restrained when talking to Liang Dong.

Liang Dong never minded, he stepped forward and patted Cao Liyu on the shoulder as if he was very acquainted, and then turned to chat with Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, I have to work hard for you today. I like the style of Kuflorsen's renovation last time, and the customers have given rave reviews. After much deliberation, I still asked Li Hang to invite you here."

"You're welcome, I also want to thank you for your appreciation, and you usually take care of the company's business."

Apparently, although Xiao Yu and Liang Dong were friends with Li Hang, they were just ordinary friends and business partners who were polite and courteous.While Liang Dong was discussing with Xiao Yu the decoration concept of the new store, he started to observe around the store.Once Xiao Yu started to work, he would become distracted, so Cao Liyu and Li Hang were left behind by those two people.Cao Liyu didn't mind much, but he was used to being sticky with Xiao Yu these days, and he felt a little frustrated when he was suddenly left out in the cold.

At this moment, Li Hang approached Cao Liyu and said softly, "I'll show you around first."

Cao Liyu nodded, pulled himself together and followed Li Hang's footsteps and walked in another direction.

The location of the new bar is located near a commercial pedestrian street not far from Bar Street.This pedestrian street is transformed from an old street, and it is bustling at night. There are famous shops and luxury hotels along the street. There is also a small square in the center of the street with a gorgeous musical fountain, which is also a famous tourist attraction.The new bar is located in an alley behind a small theater not far from the musical fountain. This alley is full of restaurants and cafes of various flavors, as well as unique and exquisite storefronts. It is not easy to open a music bar here. unexpected.

It's just that Cao Liyu saw the environment outside the store and thought that the store was probably the same as other stores, but after following Li Hang through the back door, he found that there was a small square yard behind, and some potted plants were planted in the yard. Although the courtyard is surrounded by simple white walls, there are eaves, which create an illusion of looking up at the sky from the courtyard when people stand in the middle of the courtyard and look up.

"There's a hole in the sky!" Cao Liyu couldn't help expressing his feelings, and noticed those potted plants that were no longer green but ingeniously shaped, and smiled, "The original owner of this house has something in common with you, so you can't be because of these potted plants. So you decided to choose the location here?"

"That's not true, but it's a bonus for me. If the green plant shop is transferred in the future, you can bring some bonsai here." Li Hang looked around the yard that made him feel very friendly, and said lightly.

"What? You want to transfer the green plant shop?!" Cao Liyu couldn't believe his ears.

"Well, the green plant shop was originally opened for interest, and it wasn't very profitable. When the bar opens, it will focus on this side, and there will be no time and energy to take care of that side."

"Can't you just turn it around?"

"Who will take care of it if you don't turn it around?"

"Isn't there a younger sister to help take care of it?"

"Little sister has just learned a little bit of technology. Apart from technology and business, there are many things she doesn't understand when opening a store. The store will become a decoration when it is open."

"That's the reason, but... are you willing?"

Seeing Cao Liyu's anxious expression, Li Hang couldn't help softening his tone: "I don't want to part with it, but I can't keep a store that I can't manage just because of this. I'm not really a rich man."

"But you didn't open the shop every day when the younger sister was away."

"Although I didn't open a store every day before, I would take care of the plants in the store every day. After the store is transferred, if the plants cannot be transferred, I will move here. This is also for the consideration of the plants in the store."

"but……"

In fact, everything Li Hang said was reasonable, and Cao Liyu really couldn't think of any rebuttals.But think about that very emotional and artistic green plant shop, think about the vibrant plants there, think about Li Hang's concentrated expression when taking care of those plants, think about the gossip girl who adores Li Hang with a childish smile , Cao Liyu is not reconciled.He even remembered that the reason why Li Hang was interested in bonsai was also related to himself.Thinking about it this way, the survival of the green plant store seems to be his own responsibility.

Seeing Cao Liyu biting his lip and racking his brains to find a new explanation, Li Hang asked in puzzlement, "Do you really want that store to close? Why?"

"Because you like it more than bars or stocks, right?" Cao Liyu replied without thinking.

Li Hang was at a loss for words, because Cao Liyu was right, although this was not a reason for him to keep the green plant shop.But Li Hang didn't know how to tell Cao Liyu this simple truth.

Seeing that Li Hang didn't answer, Cao Liyu took it as his acquiescence, and took a step closer to Li Hang, his eyes flickering like stars: "I'm not wrong, right? You like that place the most, so don't turn around? There is always a way." It won't turn?"

Cao Liyu's eyes were full of undisguised concern, joy and hope, and he looked straight at Li Hang.Because of his height, Li Hang slightly looked down at Cao Liyu's eyes, and could clearly see his inconspicuous inner double eyelids, high nose bridge, and eagerly moving lips.He thought of the hickey mark he found under the collar of Cao Liyu's sweater last night, the scene of Cao Liyu and Xiao Yu snuggling together peacefully in the car in the morning, and all the subtle changes he had faintly noticed, and frowned.

"Some things, some things, no matter how much you like them emotionally, you can't let them go, but you must give them up rationally. Because this is the rule of the game in life. Cao Liyu, you should understand."

In the last sentence, Li Hang paused every word, pronounced the words clearly, his tone was flat but meaningful, as slow as Cao Liyu finally sensed something, and tried in a low voice with a little unease: "Li Hang, are you talking about the green plant shop or...? "

Before Cao Liyu finished asking, Li Hang answered again: "I can use reason to overcome emotion, but if you say you like that store too and you can't put it down, I don't have to switch."

"...Really?" Cao Liyu was skeptical.

"Well, human beings are useless creatures with emotions." Li Hang whispered softly.

Cao Liyu happily swept away the dark clouds on his face, and smiled involuntarily, as if the surrounding light was brightening.He was about to say that he also wanted to keep the green plant store open, but he was confused by Li Hang's weird movement of reaching out and scratching the thin layer of skin at his Adam's apple, and felt itchy, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Contrary to him, although Li Hang's tone and expression were gentle, there was no smile in his eyes.Li Hang stared into Cao Liyu's eyes, and reminded in a low voice: "Cao Liyu, think clearly, you can't go back on your decision."

Although Cao Liyu was puzzled, he didn't think too much about it. He blinked his eyes and replied without hesitation: "Don't turn around, I like your green plant shop, I can't bear it."

"Okay." Li Hang responded bluntly, and at the same time lifted Cao Liyu's chin and kissed it.

"Xiaoyu? I found you!"

A voice broke into Cao Liyu's ears with joy, and he was so frightened that he reflexively pushed hard, making Li Hang stagger back and almost fell.But Cao Liyu didn't have time to care about Li Hang, and when he turned around, he was hugged by a tall man.

"Xu Zhiyuan?" After the initial shock, Cao Liyu finally recognized the person who came, and slightly broke away from the other person's bear hug, and cried out in doubt and joy.

Xu Zhiyuan was wearing a dark and crisp winter coat, and he looked taller and more mature. He smiled at Cao Liyu: "Just now I heard from Liang Dong that you were here too, so I was looking for you everywhere, so I ran into the yard."

"Well, I'm here to play and wander around. Why are you here?"

"I will be Liang Dong's driver today."

"Oh, you two still have such a good relationship."

"Hehe, you're the only one who can say that. Have you finished your visit? I'm free too. How about I take you around here and let them do their work?"

"Um, okay."

Speaking of Cao Liyu, Li Hang, who didn't even look at him, pulled Xu Zhiyuan and left.But before Xu Zhiyuan left, he turned his head and met Li Hang's eyes for a moment, his eyes were full of teasing and provocation.

After walking out of the store, Cao Liyu let go of Xu Zhiyuan's hand, and drooped his head dejectedly.

Seeing him like this, Xu Zhiyuan laughed jokingly and said, "What? Being kissed by your best friend, is it too shocking?"

Cao Liyu glared at Xu Zhiyuan sideways, and accused him angrily: "As expected, you have seen it all. Since it is about to emerge, why didn't you come out earlier?"

"Is there any difference between earlier and later? I think you guys seem to be discussing some important issues, and you want to wait for you to finish talking before going to say hello. Who knew that kid would come for a while. In other words, you are too slow to respond Right? Even being touched on the neck, I still don’t feel a little bit, and I have a bright smile on my face, how can I hold it back?”

"What do you want to control? How can I, a big man, know that a man wants to kiss me?"

"Hehe, it's not like you don't know that your best friend likes men."

"I only know that Li Hang likes Xiao Yu."

Cao Liyu protested, and Xu Zhiyuan said that it was all his fault, but he really didn't have any defense against Li Hang.In other words, even now that he feels that things are not as simple as he thought, he doesn't think that Li Hang will do anything that disgusts him, because Li Hang has always been kind to him.

Xu Zhiyuan stroked his chin and looked at the sky thoughtfully, then at Cao Liyu who was wrinkled, and smiled lightly: "I'd better not interfere in your affairs, so as not to be disgusted by others. There are animation games opened by acquaintances nearby." City, you should hear that you like these places, right? I haven’t been there for a long time, let’s go and relax with you.”

Cao Liyu walked forward with Xu Zhiyuan's shoulders in his arms, and hesitantly said, "I really want to hear your suggestion."

Xu Zhiyuan shook his head: "My only suggestion is - to untie the bell, you need someone to tie it."

"...Xu Zhiyuan, you are such a nice person, why doesn't the whole world make it?"

"Hahaha~ Xiaoyu, I really like you, why don't you just leave them alone and follow me."

"roll."

Xiao Yu walked around the store before finding Li Hang under the eaves of the backyard. The guy was sitting and smoking, with two cigarette butts thrown by his feet.

"Hang, Liang Dong and I are looking for you, why are you being lazy here?"

"Oh, Liang Dong finished talking to you?"

"This is your shop too, let's discuss it together."

"Okay." Li Hang stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette.

"By the way, Li Yu sent me a message saying that he went out to play with his friends and didn't have lunch together. He will go home later. Did you receive it?"

"……Um."

"...Hang, what did you say to Liyu?"

"Nothing to say."

"Sailing."

Xiao Yu stopped talking, just quietly looked at Li Hang who stood up, and Li Hang looked back at him without hesitation.Xiao Yu sighed, expressing her doubts——

"Did you know?"

"Ah."

"Then what do you want to say?"

"No."

"No? Are you going to just pretend to be stupid like this?"

"Do not."

"...Hang, let's discuss the decoration first, and then we can talk."

Li Hang didn't answer, but just brushed Xiao Yu's shoulder and walked into the store.
