Released

It's not a day or two for Lu Xiangyang to want to change this oven.

This oven was the first courier that Brother Shun brought him when he first arrived in Miancheng to settle down.

Cotton City is slow.The place is small, and the pace of life is much slower than that of big cities.Everyone performs their duties and has a share of work. It seems that they can live in peace and stability like this forever, and they can go to the far future, just like before.

Brother Shun delivers couriers in the area of ​​Flower Street.It was hot summer when the two met.The cicada on the tree outside the house screamed hoarsely, boiling the hot air around it.Lu Xiangyang's hair was still short. He locked himself in the closed shop, wearing a thick dust mask, scraping and puttying the walls of the newly rented shop.

The shop was empty.

Sticky glue was stuck to the glass door, the walls hadn't been painted, and the floor was covered with scraps of old wall coverings that covered the entire room.A few rays of sunlight stubbornly climbed over the windows covered with small advertisements, and then penetrated in brokenly.Lu Xiangyang saw these dust particles floating clearly, slowly pieced together into a violent scene of smoke and dust at home.

He fled from the ruins of the war without looking back, leaving a mess and bite marks all over the place.

Like scarred migrating birds.

Xiang Wan's photo was cut out by him, and he put it in a small iron box, as if the two of them could depend on each other for life from now on, fleeing this overworked home in a panic.

Keep it far away, cut it clean, and find a place for him to hide quietly, so that he will not be known by the world.It seemed that this would allow him to take two more breaths of fresh oxygen in his embarrassing and sad life, and to last for a while longer.

Miancheng is Lu Xiangyang's shell.He got his wish and hid in the shell in an inconspicuous corner shop.

The wind in Cotton City is very quiet.

Lu Xiangyang wiped that glass door for a whole afternoon, and the traces of the adhesive surface were extremely difficult. No matter how he rubbed it, it was foggy, very much like his past, lingering in a blur.

Lu Xiangyang grabbed the rag and rubbed it viciously, making the glass feel faintly hot.The air conditioner in the room has not been filled with snow, the wind blowing out is neither warm nor cool, and the room is filled with an old plastic smell.

But Lu Xiangyang couldn't smell it, his nose was so sore that his eyes swelled up, and something couldn't help but gushed out of his body, and his vision became blurred bit by bit.

He finally put down his hand slowly, the soreness in his arm twisted his muscles and throbbed, clamoring for his powerlessness.

Lu Xiangyang sat next to the door and slowly fell into chaos.

Like a child who has stopped at the end of time, walked to the end of the world, and lost his way.

It is good to have light.

His world was gray.

He desperately wants to get a beam of light so that he can follow along and lead him to find the exit to continue living.

"Express delivery—Sunflower Dessert Studio! Lu Xiangyang!" Suddenly someone called his name at the door, and the voice came loudly, and the shouts stopped when they heard about it, "Large shipment, please sign for it!"

What is it, big cargo.

Lu Xiangyang was successfully amused by the courier, he snorted, and quickly stood up and wiped his face.He pulled the mask up, sniffed and opened the door.

Brother Shun carried his oven, stood at his door and grinned: "Hello, little boss."

Sunshine and heat waves rushed into his shop, and the slanting light was laid out one by one on top of the messy room like tidy tiles.

"Hello."

Lu Xiangyang stepped aside and asked Brother Shun to bring the box in.Brother Shun looked at the rag he was holding, then at the door, and shook his head at him.

"Offset printing can't be rubbed dry like this, it's so laborious." Brother Shun touched his trouser pocket and took out a small bottle of essential oil, "Here, apply it. It will be clean after a while."

Lu Xiangyang took it, and he squeezed his palm hard: "Thank you."

"Hey, what's the matter." Brother Shun waved his hand at him, "You can just call me Ah Shun. We work in high temperature, so we are afraid of heat stroke. Each person at the site will give out a bottle, you can use it whatever you want, and I can't finish it."

The proprietress of the flower shop next door also came to look around.She moved a few pots of ornamental plants and placed them in front of Lu Xiangyang's shop.

She looks like a big beauty, and she is not sloppy in moving things.Lu Xiangyang weighed those few pots of earth-growing plants in his heart. The weight of the soil plus the ceramic flower pots really wouldn't be too light.

"My name is Gu Yunqing. I must be older than you. Just call me Sister Qing." The proprietress leaned against the door to watch him dismantle the new oven, smiling frankly and calmly.

At this time, the energized oven lighted up with a "di--" sound, with a brand-new paint surface and a bright oven door, and the lamp in the oven cavity had a healing warm yellow color, which warmed people's hearts.

His world seemed to be rekindled with a faint light.

"Hello." Lu Xiangyang suppressed the tears in his eyes, and showed them a long-lost smile, "My name is Lu Xiangyang, please take care of me in the future."

Two years passed in a flash.

The oven is always on and off, and the cycle repeats itself.I don't know how many charming fragrances of countless days and nights gushed out from it, and I don't know how many days of laughter, praise and admiration were carried.Lu Xiangyang saw that the snow-white or light yellow green embryos that were sent in slowly swelled up little by little, and bloomed fluffy. They became vigorous, golden and attractive, and fragrant, and even his heart was full of excitement. Just a little bit softer.

Every time Qingqing comes to his store, she has to pat this oven that has worked so hard: "This is the best old employee!"

If my sister knows, she will be happy too.

The fragrance remains in the years, and the tenderness is engraved in the bones.

It's just that there are more and more orders in his store now. In addition to the efficiency supply problem caused by capacity, the temperature control of the oven is not as accurate as before.Fortunately, Lu Xiangyang is skilled, relying on his superb experience to control the temperature and the quality of the product.

After all, he was reluctant to change.This oven has been kept until the moment Zhou Xi walked into the store, and it has been kept until today.

Lu Xiangyang looked at Zhou Xi while pinching the mooncake embryo in his hand.

The man was sitting in front of the desk intently, typing away on the keyboard of his laptop.

His hands are beautiful, straight and slender, like cool bamboos in the mountains.

With the help of Zhou Xi in the past two days, the work of the mooncake order is progressing smoothly, the style and price have been confirmed, Huo Xiaohua wrote "Cantonese-style mooncake x300!!!" .

It expresses the sense of sight of being rich and powerful.

Work is proceeding in an orderly manner.The mooncakes baked on the workbench exude a sweet and not greasy fragrance. He is rushing to make the next batch of embryos to be put into the oven. Zhou Xi is sitting not far away, checking the list of various purchase quantities.

Huo Xiaohua was not there, so she ran to the flower shop next door and chatted while folding the packaging of moon cake gift boxes. From time to time, she and Qingqing could hear loud laughter, and the topics between girls seemed to be endless.

The days seem to be getting more and more lively, and he doesn't seem to be alone anymore.

The noon sun poured down and spilled into the small windowsill of the store.

Lu Xiangyang blinked, and the speed of grabbing the pills in his hands eased down.He looked at the quiet and gentle light on Zhou Xi's body, and suddenly couldn't help shouting: "Zhou Xi!"

The ending is an irrepressible joy.

Zhou Xi raised his head to look at him in the gentle autumn sun, his eyes under the glasses were clear and pure, with calm and tranquility.

How can there be such a gentle person in the world.

"Ok?"

Lu Xiangyang's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, he rolled the mooncake embryo into a round shape, and said to Zhou Xi, "Thank you."

Zhou Xi's thinking was still stuck in a bunch of tangled numbers, and when he raised his head, he was greeted with a smile, like seeing a spring river shining for tens of miles.His mind wandered, and he couldn't keep up with Lu Xiangyang's brain circuit: "Thank you?"

Thanks for what?

In desperation, Lu Xiangyang couldn't tell.

When he saw Zhou Xi, he felt full of joy.This joy can't be hidden, can't be tucked away, and it will come out of the eyes when you cover your mouth.

Zhou Xi is like a green pine on the top of a snowy peak, growing lonely and rebellious for many years. He shields the passers-by under the tree from the wind, frost, rain and snow, but no one takes a second look at him and asks him about the wind and cold in the mountains. Not cold, snow is not cold.

No one ever stopped by his side.

Lu Xiangyang wanted to get close to him, wanted to hug him, wanted to shake off the ice and snow from his body, wanted to give him a feeling of temperature and heartbeat.

Even if it is insignificant, even if it is a tiny bit.

The little heartache he sprouted, I don't know when the stubborn branches and leaves emerged, and the tough buds grew.

Thank you, he doesn't know either.

"Unloading!" Brother Shun's voice came in from outside the door, "Old Lu! Huge cargo!"

Lu Xiangyang: "..."

Zhou Xi: "..."

Brother Shun carried the things in, it was a huge courier.The high-strength cardboard box was tightly seamed, with English instructions and labels printed all over it. Before the things were opened, Lu Xiangyang could smell the expensive smell.

It never occurred to him that he had bought such a large item.His only recent online shopping consumption record is two cotton pads for cats.As the weather got colder, stray cats gradually increased, and the excrement shovelers in Huahua Street began to prepare carton boxes at the door for the elves on the street to spend the winter.

Lu Xiangyang double-checked the delivery information on the express box, and there was indeed nothing wrong.

He was so engrossed that he ignored Zhou Xi who was on the side flicking his fingers, flipped through his phone and quickly looked away.

He looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

Lu Xiangyang hesitated for a while, but still opened the box.

The things that caught my eye looked both familiar and strange—familiar because Lu Xiangyang had seen it more than once in other people's high-end custom-made sweet shops, and strange because he had never had the opportunity to personally operate this expensive and complicated machine .

It's a brand new food printer, lying neatly in the box.

Lu Xiangyang was so stupid, he didn't even dare to do this in his dream.

After three seconds of silence, he let out a shocking cry: "Oh my god! Who bought this!!!"

The sound alarmed Qingqing and Xiaohua who were next door, and they gathered together, forming a considerable team of gossip detectives in the shop.

Since criminal items are relatively expensive, Zhou Xi naturally became the most suspicious object.

"Tell me." Lu Xiangyang looked at him sullenly, "Did you buy it?"

Zhou Xi met all eyes calmly, as if he had been prepared for a long time.He sincerely said to Lu Xiangyang: "How is it possible? I can't even cook."

This reason seems to be very popular and convincing, which originally did not belong to Zhou Xi's field.Qingqing and Xiaohua hummed and nodded repeatedly, expressing their approval.

Zhou Xi's face was full of sincerity and sincerity, his eyes were burning, and he looked like an innocent eater.

Lu Xiangyang almost believed it.

"You don't need to know how to cook for this matter." Lu Xiangyang thought about it seriously, "It is enough that you know how to spend money."

Zhou Xi: "..."

Zhou Xi lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He struggled hard on the verge of death: "Think about it, I'm not an insider in such a professional machine, so how can I know how to choose a brand and model?"

That's true.There are many brands and functional series on the market.Zhou Xi, who can't even tell the model of crayfish, how could he know the most popular style at the moment?

Lu Xiangyang was silent again.

He thought for a long time, stared straight into Zhou Xi's eyes and asked, "Are you sure you didn't buy it?"

Zhou Xi suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and he calmly and solemnly replied: "Sure."

"..." Lu Xiangyang quietly turned his eyes away, "Well, don't regret it."
