linked to the collar

It was already very late when the meal was over, and Canxing, who was supposed to be the host, could only be an accompanying guest when he arrived.Host Leng seems to be very interested in Li Ran, and has been looking for various topics to ask Xiao Ran, and it can be summed up as many trivial matters about Li Ran. After reminiscing, I realized that the landlord had asked all about Xiao Ran's affairs.

Bai Ye murmured in his heart, why does the boss of Deyilou want to know so many things about Xiao Ran?

Xiao Ran is not a rich man, nor is he a person who goes in and out of Deyi Building. When he sits there, you can't see any obscene atmosphere on him at all. Xinghe Kongyan's eyes will not have a trace of evil - let alone the boss of Deyilou can see it, even Bai Ye can see it, so Xiao Ran, who has no money and will not patronize Deyilou again Master, what is your landlord wondering about?

Bai Ye knew the boss of Deyilou.

Leng Fengyin, it is said that this year should be over 35.He didn't open Deyi Building. Although the business has always been good, it is said that the reputation is not very good. There are often rumors that newcomers are beaten to death, and there are often two guys at the back door in the middle of the night. The corpse was carried to the south of the city for a hasty burial.

Twelve years ago, Leng Fengyin, who was still young, suddenly bought this proud building, and then rebuilt it drastically, and opened the now popular Xiaoguan Restaurant.Since he took over, although there are still incidents of prostitution, but it is much better than before.

But outsiders know very little about Leng Fengyin himself, and Bai Ye didn't have the curiosity to know others before, and now he wants to find something from the past that can explain this person, but he can't think of it for a while.

Then he made a decision that he must let the spies from Xuantianmen go and check it out.

But this is all for later, what Bai Ye is most concerned about now is how Xiao Ran plans to live tonight.

The gate of the city has been closed long ago, Xiao Ran can't go out of the city to return to his home, if he stays in a hotel...

Bai Ye thought for a while, pulled Xiao Ran and asked, "Just for one night, why don't you stay at my place first? Recently, I often stay at Wuzhou City, and it's not easy to live at your place anymore, so the hall master here rented a room for me. .”

"This...isn't that good?" Xiao Ran is actually not very well right now, he was a little too drunk, dizzy, and couldn't help but close his eyes because he wanted to lean against the wall, if it wasn't for being dragged by Bai Ye now , he felt that he had no strength in his feet and wanted to sit down.However, living with Bai Ye...

He subconsciously refused.

Bai Ye ignored him, how could Bai Ye not see that Xiao Ran was drunk now?Look at his blushing eyes and staggering steps, can he listen to his drunken words at this time?

So Bai Ye pulled Xiao Ran and left. "I live not far from here, are you holding on? Do you feel uncomfortable or want to vomit?"

Xiao Ran was dragged by Bai Ye and staggered, while shaking his head earnestly. "No, I just feel a little dizzy... Bai Ye, don't walk so shaky, I'm dazzled!"

Bai Ye was speechless, it was you who staggered along! "...It's fine if you don't feel uncomfortable. If you feel like throwing up for a while, tell me right away."

"Okay, but I'm so tired, can you let me sit for a while?" Xiao Ran nodded, shook his head again, took Bai Ye's hand and led it to the side alley, but Bai Ye immediately pulled it back, and his hands were tightly clasped. They are tightly stacked, and Bai Ye is reluctant to let go.

But it's not necessarily just dragging such a little drunk to stand on the street all the time, right?Bai Ye looked left and right, seeing that there was no one else anyway, he simply bent down and carried Xiao Ran on his back.

"What, what are you doing?" Xiao Ran was flustered by the sudden close contact, but his body was weak and his struggle was just wriggling, so he had to keep patting Bai Ye's thick back in protest.

"Don't make trouble!" Bai Ye tightened his arms around Li Ran's arm, and shouted in a low voice.It's not that he hurts from being slapped, he also likes adding more strength to li xuan's little paws, but he is afraid that li xuan will throw himself off after such a toss, that's a big deal. "There will be no one here, I'll walk faster with you on my back. Don't make a fuss, go to my house early and go to sleep, and you will get up early tomorrow morning to look at the purchase."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Xiao Ran's beating, and jumped onto the eaves on one side.Anyway, there is no one at night, so it is better to walk on the roof, which is close and windy.

Bai Ye is actually a very simple person. He is afraid of trouble, and he is also afraid of cleaning up. He just needs to be convenient for everything.So this time, the house he borrowed in Wuzhou City was not big, with a yard and a room, and even the kitchen was saved. Anyway, he never cooks.

Well, one room, one bedroom, naturally there would not be two beds, so when Bai Ye settled Xiao Ran and watched him sleep, he began to face the problem of where to sleep.

Of course he wanted to sleep in bed.Xiao Ran is now curled up on his big carved bed, hugging the quilt and snoring a little, Bai Ye thinks that he is the quilt under the quilt in his arms or even the porcelain pillow he is sleeping on... …

But if he really falls asleep, according to the boundary that Xiao Ran has quietly drawn now, he will definitely alienate himself on purpose tomorrow, right?

right!Xiao Ran drew an invisible but always felt boundary between him and Bai Ye!Brother-in-law and close friend.

About the bookstore, Xiao Ran would ask him and ask for his opinion.Rather than being close to him, it is better to respect him, because Bai Ye is the one who pays, and Mr. Liu, the accountant that has been booked now, also has artisans working.Even Shier and Huanxi who come here every day are his Bai Ye's people, just because of these, Xiao Ran will respect his meaning.

Normally, Xiao Ran treats Bai Ye well, and he always thinks of him when cooking, but when Bai Ye compares it with the past, he understands that now Xiao Ran treats him a lot colder, even deliberately, trying not to be with him.He and Li Ran didn't have much time to spend alone, there were always people coming and going in the bookstore, and only when they returned to Xiao Ran's home would they have free time.But Xiao Ran, he wouldn't let Bai Ye into the kitchen when cooking, he always said the smell was too strong, he couldn't stand it.

Well, Bai Ye did say that himself back then, but this was then, not now!Now he wished he could stick to Xiao Ran's side all the time, so what was the smell of oily smoke?

But Xiao Ran disagreed.

Forget it, the meal must be on the stone table in the yard, and the small wooden table in the kitchen Bai Ye wrenched his fingers, counting since Xiao Ran came back, they could use it together, at most three times.

Not to mention the bedroom, except for the first day back, there was almost no excuse for Bai Ye to set foot there after that.

Xiao Ran allowed him to get close, but did not allow him to get too close.He will try to avoid even the chance of touching.

Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, do you know that my heart aches when I want to hold you in my arms?

In the end, Bai Ye didn't share the bed with Xiao Ran, he sat on the side of the bed and watched Xiao Ran's sleeping face just like that for most of the night.When the sky was slightly brighter, and I lost the interest to go back to sleep, I sat on the edge of the bed and meditated to improve my internal strength.

Xiao Ran is a person who is used to getting up early, and when the time comes, he will wake up by himself.Because of the hangover, I had a severe headache. I sat on the bed and rubbed my head for a long time before I felt better. When I looked up, I saw Bai Ye sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed with his back facing him.

Bai Ye was still wearing the suit from last night, Xiao Ran thought, this person didn't sleep all night, did he?Thinking in his heart, his gaze stayed on Bai Ye's back. He remembered that Bai Ye carried him on his back last night. The broad back was the same as before, even thicker.

No one is still in place, he is, and so is Bai Ye.

Everyone has grown up, and the ignorance and ignorance of those years can now be ignored with a smile, how good it is.

He likes this way of getting along with Bai Ye very much now, it makes him feel at ease, although occasionally Bai Ye's gaze will make him flustered, but when he looks back, he pretends he didn't see it, and it passes by.

In this way, in a few years, Bai Ye will have a child by then, and he may adopt a few orphans to die for himself. At that time, looking back at that time, maybe he will just smile?

Bai Ye opened his eyes after working hard for a week, and turned his head to see how Xiao Ran was sleeping, but when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Ran sitting on the bed and staring at him blankly, with a serious look on his face but blank eyes. Like back then, every time I saw his expression when he just woke up, I couldn't help laughing.

"What are you looking at? Does your head hurt?"

"It's okay...you haven't slept?" Xiao Ran nodded, and lowered his gaze not to look at Bai Ye's inexplicably sad smile, and asked softly.

"Xiao Ran, I live alone, and there is only one bed. You slept away, where do you want me to sleep?" After finishing speaking, he leaned over and smiled and asked, "Do you want me to sleep next to you?"

"Don't mess around!" Xiao Ran suddenly raised his head, and shouted with a little panic, after a while, he blinked, and lowered his head again in embarrassment. "I, I'm used to sleeping alone."

Bai Ye remained silent. He looked at Xiao Ran who was holding his quilt with his head down, and said that he was not sad at all, it was a lie, but more of a distress.

He was wrong, he really wanted to hold Xiao Ran and tell him that he knew he was wrong.

Xiao Ran, who used to be so kind, is now wary of others. When will he be willing to face himself again?

Xiao Ran also felt that he was overreacting, so he raised his head and forced a smile: "Bai Ye, I, I just..."

"It's okay. It's a hot day, it's really uncomfortable for two people to be crowded together. Are you going to get up?" Bai Ye took the coat that was hung on the back of the chair for him last night and handed it to Xiao Ran as if nothing happened. "I don't have anything to eat here, why don't we go to the street and eat together before going to the store?"

Xiao Ran and Bai Ye strolled together in the misty Wuzhou City, walking quietly, watching the crowds passing by on the street, passing them one by one.

Bai Ye suddenly smiled. "Xiao Ran, you said that so many people have passed by just now, are there any people who have had a relationship with you before? For example, the elder brother and parents of your former students? Ah, I remember that there was a little flower seller at that time, I really like hanging around you, I don't know how she is now..."

Xiao Ran thought about it, remembered the girl Bai Ye mentioned, and smiled. "At her age, she should already be married, right?" After a pause, she said softly, "Not everyone who passes by will remember me, maybe for them, we are just passers-by."

Bai Ye stopped talking when he heard the words, and remained silent until Xiao Ran found a tofu nao stall and the two of them sat down, then he pulled Xiao Ran's sleeve and said seriously: "Xiao Ran, if it was me, the person I fancy is already If I pass by, I will turn back and find that person again. I don’t want to miss it, I don’t want to be just his passer-by, I hope to join hands with him in the rivers and lakes.”

Xiao Ran was confused by him, and after staying for a long time, he nodded slightly and said: "It's not bad, it's better than missing it."

"Xiao Ran, do you believe I can do it?" He asked persistently.

Xiao Ran didn't understand why Bai Ye was so stubborn, but he still thought about it seriously before answering: "You have always been a person who puts emphasis on action, if you have the heart, you should be able to do it. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just asking." Bai Ye shook his head without answering, and pushed the tofu flower brought by the boss in front of Xiao Ran. "Eat it, the taste will change when it gets cold."

The author has something to say: a little extra:

Three Precepts: Bai Ye, some people say that you laugh more and more

Bai Ye: Isn't that bad?It's better than me trying to scare Li Ran with a cold face. Sanjie: (whispers), but don't you think you're smiling like a big dog?

Xiao Ran: It used to be a wild dog, but now it is a domestic dog. There is always some progress...
