only time

"I once had a record of eating soy sauce fried rice at night for two consecutive weeks. Your rice noodles are much more delicious than soy sauce fried rice! So, I want to ask, can you come over at night when I work overtime, and you can make me a bowl of rice noodles? I'll pay for it."

Lian Shaoguang held the phone, bowed his head in silence, and stroked the edge of the phone case with his fingers.

Looking at his movements, Qiu Rang was in a state of turmoil in his heart, feeling that his thoughts were really difficult for others to do.

"Forget it if it's embarrassing." Before the sentence was finished, Lian Shaoguang nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"

"Eh? Ah, thank you! Thank you!" Qiu Rang felt so happy that he was about to fly!

"Then how do you count the money?"

"You look at it."

"Look at it? Ah..." He quickly turned his head to look at the menu on the wall, found the price of rice noodles, and said, "Then it's 25."

"Too much."

Qiu Rang was wronged, "...you let me watch it."

"How can I compare with the ones in the store?"

"Why can't you compare? What you cook is much more delicious than what you bought!"

Lian Shaoguang pursed his lower lip and turned his head to the side.

Qiu Rang clearly saw his ears turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Then 25, it's a deal!"

"..."

"Then add WeChat. If I work overtime, I will call you in advance."

Lian Shaoguang didn't refuse, and Qiu Rang successfully added him on WeChat.

Lian Shaoguang's circle of friends is empty, which makes Qiu Rang a little disappointed.

After adding WeChat, Qiu Rang sent Lian Shaoguang a 25 yuan red envelope.

"In the future, I will give you all the money for meals, and I should give you what you do."

Lian Shaoguang didn't say anything, and silently accepted the red envelope.

After leaving the store, Qiu Rang said that he happened to be walking along the way, but in fact he wanted to send Lian Shaoguang back, and he was afraid that Lian Shaoguang would refuse to make an excuse.

Arriving at Lian Shaoguang's door, Qiu Rang waved his hand, watching Lian Shaoguang enter the door, the light in the room turned on before leaving.

On the way back, he swiped Weibo and saw the news about the legalization of homosexuality in a certain country.In recent years, homosexuality has been legalized in many countries and regions one after another. Every time he sees such news, Qiu Rang is envious, and silently prays that the motherland can accept people like them one day.

When he sent a screenshot of this news to Moments and set the group to be visible, he thought of Lian Shaoguang.

He wants to tell Lian Shaoguang that he is also gay, so that the relationship between the two can be closer.In reality, he couldn't find a chance to say it, so he could only pin his hopes on his circle of friends.

He created a separate group for Lian Shaoguang, set this circle of friends as a group of friends in the circle and Lian Shaoguang can see it, and added a caption: All kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

After posting, he thought of a question: Does Lian Shaoguang use Moments?

If you don't brush it, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

Well……

It was the night after seeing Lian Shaoguang again.Like last time, Lian Shaoguang cooked him a bowl of rice noodles and sat across from him to watch him eat.

He observed Lian Shaoguang's reaction, and there was no change from before.However, as far as he knew, Lian Shaoguang was not a person who often showed his emotions on his face, so he couldn't tell whether Lian Shaoguang saw the post he posted in Moments.

He asked Fenghuang: "Did you say he saw my circle of friends?"

Fenghuang replied, "How do I know?"

"..." Asked in vain again.

He pretended to mention casually: "Seeing that your circle of friends is empty, don't you even post on your circle of friends?"

Lian Shaoguang shook his head.

"Then don't you use the circle of friends?"

Lian Shaoguang continued to shake his head.

Qiu Rang felt a little disappointed, it was really a waste of effort.

"Then what do you do online? Check Weibo? Check Facebook? Chat?"

"Just look at the news or something."

"..." He felt that this behavior was in line with what Lian Shaoguang would do at his age, but he was embarrassed to say it.

On the contrary, Lian Shaoguang himself said lightly: "I am too old to keep up with the trend."

"You're only 40 years old and you're old? Stop, they say that a man has 41 flowers, and his life has just begun!"

Lian Shaoguang didn't speak, just smiled lightly.

For a long time afterwards, Qiu Rang had a bowl of delicious rice noodles to eat after working overtime at night, not to mention how delicious it was.

He called it "Secret Time After get off work".

He was the one talking most of the time, and Lian Shaoguang was listening.It has been more than two months, although Lian Shaoguang's attitude towards him is still not warm, but he still feels that the distance between him and Lian Shaoguang has become closer.There is evidence that Lian Shaoguang knows he cares about him.For example: when he sneezes, Lian Shaoguang will ask him if he has a cold; if he says he is dizzy after a busy day, Lian Shaoguang will bring him a bottle of ice-cold drink.

Every time this happens, he can be happy for a long time.

Phoenix: Are you satisfied with this?

Qiu Rang: What else?

Phoenix: Don't forget that you still have missions.

Qiu Rang: You have also seen that he is so slow.Besides, you let me play freely.

Phoenix: ...

Because the R&D work of a project was outsourced to another company, Company A, Qiu Rang went out to Company A to communicate face-to-face with the R&D personnel as planned.What was originally planned to be done in two days, turned out to be Friday when it was finished.

Company A is in the northwest of the city, and he lives there directly at night.Every night when he works overtime, he misses the rice noodles made by Lian Shaoguang.

Will Lian Shaoguang wait for him in the store?Will you feel a little bit lost when you can't wait for yourself?

Although he had obtained Lian Shaoguang's WeChat a long time ago, he resisted not taking the initiative to chat. What he wanted was to get acquainted with Lian Shaoguang in reality first, and proceed step by step.Although slow, there is hope.

And Lian Shaoguang didn't know what to think, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to him.

Lian Shaoguang is undoubtedly a slow person, and he followed his rhythm unknowingly.To be honest, I quite enjoy the current mode of getting along.

On this day, he came out of company A only after two o'clock in the afternoon. He didn't want to go back to the company, so he went home directly.When he returned to his long-lost home, he couldn't bear the thick layer of dust accumulated in the house, so he cleaned the house, washed his clothes and took a bath.

When everything was settled and he was about to make dinner, he received a call from Lin Chuanchuan.

On the phone, Lin Chuanchuan cried and told him that she was by the river downstairs of his company and asked him to come down.

He was startled and asked her what's the matter, and she hung up the phone after meeting her.

He was worried about her, took the phone key and went out.

When he found Lin Chuanchuan by the river, she was squatting on the ground still sobbing, her eyes swollen like peaches.

"Why did you take so long?"

He knelt down beside her, "I came from home. What happened?"

Lin Chuanchuan looked at him tearfully, hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter?"

"I'll tell you if you drink with me."

"... Change the conditions?"

"no!"

"Then go find Sister Xiang, she is better at drinking than me."

This sentence seemed to have stepped on Lin Chuanchuan's minefield, and she was furious in an instant: "It's because of her that I want to drink, okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly!..." Lin Chuanchuan bit his lips bitterly and said, "I treat her like a girlfriend, but she wants to sleep with me, you know!"

"……I know."

Has it really become like this?

After a brief silence, Lin Chuanchuan shouted loudly: "You! How the hell do you know!"

Qiu Rang said cautiously: "Don't be angry. I mean I guessed it."

"Why didn't I guess?!"

"A fan of the authorities."

"..."

Lin Chuanchuan looked so angry that he was about to kill him.

He quickly said: "Don't be angry, can't I drink with you?"

Lin Chuanchuan immediately stood up, pointed at him and said, "You said it! Let's go!"

After speaking, stride forward.

Seeing how she seemed to step on the ground with every step regardless of her image, Qiu Rang sighed helplessly.

When passing by the courtyard, Qiu Rang thought of Lian Shaoguang.

I haven't seen him for several days. I don't know if he is okay?

The two went to a nearby barbecue restaurant. There were not many people in the restaurant, so they found a secluded place in the innermost place to sit down.Before ordering food, Lin Chuanchuan ordered a dozen beers, and drank one after another without any image.

Knowing that she couldn't be persuaded, Qiu Rang let her go.

After two or three bottles of beer, she started crying again.

"Sho Miyamoto is an asshole! She said she wouldn't even be friends if she couldn't be together! She's an asshole! She confessed, she's happy, what about me? I wasn't prepared at all! I was her It's a girlfriend, best friend! How could she treat me like this?! How could she betray me? Woooooo..."

She cried and cursed, and drank while cursing, cursing to the sore spot, lying on the table and crying.

"So, she confessed to you?"

Lin Chuanchuan nodded indiscriminately.

"When?"

"A month ago."

"So long? You refused?"

"I was very confused and shocked at the time. I scolded her and broke up. She didn't say a word at the time and let me scold her. After thinking about it, I felt that I was quite wrong, and I didn't want to lose her as a friend, so I took the initiative to talk to her. Apologize and say I'll try. Then I try."

"Isn't this good? How did it become like this?"

Lin Chuanchuan pursed his mouth, looking very aggrieved.

"...But I don't feel it! Seeing her look forward to it every day is stressful for me! Then I woke up this morning and sent her a WeChat message saying that I couldn't accept it, forget it. Then she ignored me all day, and when she got off work, she Wechat told me that I shouldn’t even be friends. She couldn’t continue to be ordinary friends with me. She didn’t answer my calls, and she didn’t reply to my messages…”

After the last sentence, she fell down and cried again.

"She has to give me time. Bastard... woo woo woo... Sho Miyamoto, you bastard!"

Almost all of a dozen beers went into Lin Chuanchuan's stomach, and she was so drunk that she lay on the table and murmured curses at Miyamoto Xiang.
