After hanging up the phone with his parents, Shan Cen checked his WeChat again, but there was still no new message. He silently put away his phone, got up and went to the work room.

Shan Xiaobai probably already knew that he could not enter the workshop, so he stopped consciously after following the door, and then squatted at the door, tilting his head and looking in through the glass door.

Shan Cen looked at this cute scene and really wanted to open the door to let him in.

But there is a lot of paint in the workshop, there is a risk of eating it by mistake, and Shan Xiaobai likes to scratch things, so he can't let it in.

He took a deep breath and collected all his thoughts.

He first checked the drying condition of the 'Empty City', probably due to the high temperature in summer, but within a few days, the painting was almost dry.

According to the current progress, it will be completely dry in a few days, and then the varnish can be sent away.

Thinking of something, he called the framer he cooperated with.

The other side quickly picked it up, "Shan Cen?"

"Yeah." Shan Cen walked to the window and opened it a little bit to let in the air, "Is the picture frame you ordered last time ready?"

The master said: "The first three pairs are just a little short of the last process. They can be finished today at the earliest. If you want, you can come and pick them up after nine o'clock tomorrow morning. As for the remaining two pairs, it may take a week or so." .”

"Okay." Shan Cen turned around and walked to the cabinet, "I'll get it tomorrow."

"Row."

After making an appointment with the master, Shan Cen put away his mobile phone, took Wei Qun and put it on.

While tying the straps behind his back, he froze suddenly, and even missed a heartbeat.

I saw a smiling face with squinting eyes painted on the originally pure black crowd.

The smiling face is painted with yellow paint, but it is probably the first time to paint on cloth. The lines are a bit crooked, but it also adds a childlike charm.

The mouth of the smiley face has a small hook where the pen is held.

Shan Cen's fingertips lightly slid across the lines of the smiling face, reluctant to use a little effort.

It seems that as long as he exerts a little force, the paint will be rubbed off.

He took off the skirt, carefully folded it and put it in the cabinet, then took a new pair from the side and prepared to put it on.

It's just that when the herd was unfurled, he stayed where he was again.

I saw that the apron was covered with cat's paws.

It's also yellow, dark and light, and a little messy, as if it's the footprints of a cat walking on it.

If he guessed correctly, this should be Shan Xiaobai's paw.

He raised his head and looked outside the door. Shan Xiaobai, who was originally squatting, had changed to lying on the ground, successfully turning himself into a 'ragdoll cat' blanket.

Suddenly, Shan Cen thought of something, and he quickly looked at all the remaining groups, each of which had a pattern on it.

There are clouds, there is the sun, there is the moon and the stars.

The night Lin Lu confessed to him was New Year's Eve.

Because fireworks cannot be set off in the urban area, Lin Lu took him to the suburbs.

He remembered that it was cold that night.

After Lin Lu confessed his love, he hugged him and whispered in his ear, "I will always be with you from now on, watching the stars, the moon, and the clouds..."

Shan Cen looked softly at the graffiti.

I didn't expect that even if it was amnesia, some people's ways of showing love were still the same.

But when he thought of Lin Lu sneaking in with Shan Xiaobai to do bad things, he couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing.

His eyebrows are curved, and a pair of ice blue eyes are as bright as stars.

In Shan Cen's eyes, these graffiti with little painting skills make him more happy than the paintings drawn by any well-known painter.

He finally understood why grandpa would say that the extra crooked twig is the soul of the whole painting.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to finish the painting in the school workshop.

After a while, he took out his mobile phone and took a picture before putting away all the groups, except for the one with the smiling face.

In the end, I sent a message to Aunt Xu, telling her not to come over at night, and he will cook.

Well, you can have spicy hot pot at night.

After deciding what to have for dinner, he quickly threw himself into painting.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Knock knock knock!

Shan Cen raised his head suddenly, and saw Lin Lu outside the door at a glance. He was overjoyed at first, and then annoyed.

He hasn't made dinner yet.

Get too involved and lose track of time.

He put down the paint tray and trotted over to open the door to go out, then shut it again with a bang, "Sorry, I was busy and forgot the time, I haven't cooked yet, I'm going now."

After speaking, go to the kitchen.

Lin Lu held him back, "It's not time yet, I came back early."

"Huh?" Shan Cen turned his head to look out the window, only to realize that the sun was still quite high, which meant that it was not Lin Lu's usual off-duty time at all.

Knowing that he didn't forget to cook, Shan Cen heaved a sigh of relief, he raised his head and asked, "Why did you come back early?"

Lin Lu's eyes stayed on the smiling apron in front of Shan Cen for a while, and then quickly looked away. He said in a low voice, "Do you have time? Let's chat."

I don't know what came to mind, Shan Cen's ears were a little red, he pursed his lips and responded, "Okay."

The two sat down on the sofa.

Shan Cen pinched the corner of the apron nervously, pretending to be calm and said: "I saw the apron, thank you."

Lin Lu knew what he was talking about, but he was not in the mood to talk about these things now, so he just gave a very cold 'um'.

Hearing this familiar monosyllable, Shan Cen's heart trembled suddenly.

Time seems to go back countless days and nights in the past.

A person's emotional change for another person does not happen overnight, but subtly over time.

So at the beginning, when he realized Lin Lu's indifference to him, that state of caring and speechless had lasted for a long time.

But at that time, he was very optimistic, thinking that the other party was too busy and tired at work, so he didn't like to talk after returning home.

His idea is very simple, since Lin Lu doesn't like to talk about it, it's better for him to talk about it.

So during that time, he worked very hard to find topics.

Talking about work, talking about firewood, rice, oil and salt, just like when Lin Lu coaxed him before, he said some cold jokes, but what he didn't expect was that no matter what he said or how hard he tried, the response he got would always be only lukewarm. Hot monosyllabic.

After a long time, no matter how hot the heart is, it will become cold.

Besides, he was not a good talker.

He eventually moved out of his house in Nanhu and lived here.

Lin Lu found him a week later. At that time, he still had hope, thinking that Lin Lu was here to pick him up, but the reality was always so cruel.

That day, Lin Lu just walked around the house, and then asked him to take care of himself before leaving, not more than 10 minutes before and after.

Shan Cen lowered his head and took off his apron.

"What to talk about?" he asked.

Lin Lu didn't notice the change in Shan Cen. He was putting Shan Xiaobai, who was trying to climb onto his knee, on the floor.

Shan Xiaobai reluctantly rubbed his trouser legs, and squatted down on the carpet.

Lin Lu's voice was hoarse and tight, "Did you find a private detective today?"

Shan Cen was still immersed in the previous emotions, and Lin Lu didn't think much about it when he asked. He talked about what happened in the morning, but concealed Liu Peng's interest in him.

After finishing speaking, he remembered and asked, "How do you know?"

Lin Lu's eyes were dark, "The person you are looking for knows Xi Rui, and the other party knew about our relationship, so he reminded him that he was in my office at the time."

Shan Cen: "..."

A little dizzy around.

He raised his head and immediately met Lin Lu's gaze.

The light-colored pupils are full of... grievances?

why?

Shan Cen didn't understand, so, "What's wrong?"

He was the one who was betrayed, and he should be the one who should be wronged... right?

Lin Lu frowned, and even his tone was full of grievances, "Why don't you come to me if you have something to do?"

"You'd rather have a private eye than me."

The more Lin Lu said, the more sad he became, "Is it because I don't deserve your trust?"

Shan Cen: "..."

It seemed like something was about to come out.

He asked back: "So you came back early because I found a private detective but didn't find you?"

"Yes!" Lin Lu should be confident, "My wife doesn't look for anyone else if she has something to do, so shouldn't I come back?"

Hearing the word 'wife', Shan Cen's heart skipped a beat, "Are you angry because of this?"

"That's right!" Lin Lu stared at him fiercely, "So why are you looking for outsiders instead of me?"

After finishing speaking, he muttered in a low voice, "It's fine if you don't need it physiologically, and you don't even need it for work and life."

Shan Cen heard it clearly: "..."

Shan Cen blushed unconsciously, "Shut up."

"You still hate me!" Lin Lu was even more aggrieved, looking at Shan Cen pitifully with his mouth puckered, and finally his eyes were red, "Baby, how can you do this, you don't need me, let it go I said."

"Do I still have human rights in this family?"

Shan Cen: "..."

My heart, which had been softened because I had just touched the truth, instantly became as hard as iron after someone said these few words.

But seeing a big man close to 1.9 meters showing an aggrieved expression, Shan Cen endured it, but he still couldn't hold back, and bent his lips.

Lin Lu, who had been staring at him, noticed immediately, "You're still laughing at me."

Shan Cen: "..."

"No..." Well, he did.

He sighed silently, "I didn't tell you, it's just..."

"Just what?" Lin Lu looked at him nervously, his hands on his knees clenched into fists unconsciously.

Seeing that Shan Cen did not speak for a long time, he urged: "Speak quickly."

"..." Shan Cen said helplessly, "You are usually very busy, and I don't want to disturb your work, so I just want to talk to you when you come back at night."

"Really?" Lin Lu's eyes lit up for a moment.

The original grievances were swept away and replaced with joy.

As if he didn't believe what he just heard, he opened a pair of bright eyes and asked: "So it's not that you don't want to tell me, but you didn't say it because you were afraid of disturbing me?"

"Hmm." Shan Cen looked away unnaturally.

I don't know why, but Lin Lu became ashamed when he said this and looked at something that was obviously normal.

"Honey, you're so sweet!"

Lin Lu leaned over suddenly, put his hands on the small coffee table, and wanted to lean over to his relatives.

At this moment, Shan Xiaobai suddenly let out a shrill cry, "Meow!!!!"

Lin Lu quickly withdrew his hand.

But it was still too late.

Shan Xiaobai, whose left hand was in pain, scratched his paw, blood was immediately seen on the back of his hand.

The change came so fast that Shan Cen was a little dazed.

It wasn't until Shan Xiaobai jumped off the coffee table that he bumped into the cat teaser on the ground and the bell rang that he came back to his senses.

He grabbed Lin Lu's hand that wanted to touch the wound, "Don't touch it!"

"Oh." Seeing his nervous expression, Lin Lu comforted him, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Shan Cen ignored him, and directly took out his mobile phone to check what he should do after being caught by a cat.

After 2 minutes, he turned off the phone, and pulled Lin Lu back to the room in the gesture of holding Lin Lu's wrist, "Rinse and disinfect with soapy water first, and then go to the hospital."

Shan Cen's room is the master bedroom, with a bathroom attached.

He didn't know whether it was because of habit or because he was too nervous, so he passed by the bathroom outside and brought him into his room.

Living together for so long, Lin Lu has only entered Shan Cen's room a few times, and this is the first time he has entered the bathroom.

While Shan Cen was grabbing his hand to wash it with soap, he took the opportunity to look around.

The room was very clean, and there was a very light lemon scent, which he often smelled on Shan Cen, and he knew it was the smell of shower gel. Same body wash as him.

When he retracted his gaze, he glanced at the plain white shower curtain from the corner of his eye, and a thought automatically popped up in his mind——

When Shan Cen takes a shower, do you pull the shower curtain?

One should not pull, right?

No, why would he want this?

Lin Lu quickly suppressed those messy thoughts, lest he couldn't help raising the flag for a while, he was wearing trousers today and had nowhere to hide.

He looked back.

Shan Cen lowered his head, revealing a small section of the back of his fair and slender neck.

A scene suddenly flashed in Lin Lu's mind.

Also in the bathroom, he looked down at Shan Cen washing his hands, and they had a conversation.

It seems to be saying mother's birthday?birthday present?dislike?

The picture was very chaotic, and the sound was also far and near, Lin Lu concentrated on thinking.

Who doesn't like who?

"hiss--!"

There was a sharp pain in his head, and he couldn't help hissing lightly.

Shan Cen thought it was because his hands were hurting, and while lightening the cleaning force, he asked in a worried low voice, "Does it hurt?"

Lin Lu didn't want him to worry, so he followed his words, "A little bit."

"Yeah." Shan Cen pursed his lips, his voice was very soft, "Be patient, this one needs to be rinsed for 10 minutes."

"I can't bear it." Lin Lu said.

Shan Cen was obviously taken aback, and he raised his head.

Lin Lu blinked at him, trying to put on a pitiful expression, "Baby, it hurts."

Shan Cen: "..."

Can it be more fake?

But knowing it was a pit, he still jumped down, "Then what should I do?"

Lin Lu has always hit snakes with sticks, and climbed up when there is a stick, "Just kiss me and I'll be fine."

"..."

Shan Cen suddenly thought of the scene of Shan Yi flirting with Su Xin when he was on the phone with his parents not long ago, and his father's laughter at the end as if he had won millions of lottery tickets.

He pursed his lips and quickly kissed Lin Lu on the face.

One touch away.

Lin Lu froze in place.

He never expected that Shan Cen would really take the initiative to kiss him. He had already prepared a whole lot of excuses, but now there is no use for a word.

But, so happy!

Through the mirror in front of the sink, Shan Cen saw the process of someone from being stunned to showing a bright smile.

His heart skipped a beat just in time.

Then there was a stormy 'thump-thump' of heartbeats.

He lowered the corners of his mouth that unconsciously curled up.

He doesn't know if a kiss can reduce the pain, but happiness should be real.

"Baby, why are you so nice?" Lin Lu lowered his head and quickly kissed Shan Cen's pink ear, "Thank you baby, the pain is gone."

"..."

Shan Cen glared at him, "Don't make trouble, stand still."

"Oh." Lin Lu stood obediently.

Shan Cen felt that his ears were about to burn when he was kissed, he pursed his lips, suppressing his beating heart.

Unbeknownst to him, from an angle he couldn't see, Lin Lu had already suppressed the smile on his face. He pursed his lips to recall the clip that had just flashed by, but found that he couldn't remember anything, he could only blurt Remember, Shan Cen seemed to say who doesn't like to see who.

Thinking of something, Lin Lu's eyes changed color.

Maybe the reason for the divorce is not as simple as Shan Cen said.
