farewell to sunset

Shen Youning is considerate and considerate to others.At this point in time, it is still early to eat, but my stomach feels empty. If we have dinner together, it seems that we deliberately want to invite someone to have a meal.He doesn't care about others, but Tang Nuo...

Or replace it with sweet roasted sweet potatoes to keep warm and relieve hunger, and it can also make people feel at ease.

Tang Nuo hugged the sweet potato and covered his hands for a while. Seeing Shen Youning started peeling the sweet potato, he slowly unwrapped the bag and fumbled in the plastic bag, rustling.

"What are you looking for?"

Shen Youning usually doesn't eat this, so today he specially accompanied Tang Nuo.

"Look for a small spoon," Tang Nuo said.

Shen Youning raised her eyes in doubt, Tang Nuo didn't quite understand after touching the plastic bag, and speculated, "The roasted sweet potatoes here... don't have a small spoon?"

"No, do you have them?" Shen Youning took out two tissues, wiped his fingers, and said, "I'm going to get a disposable one."

As he spoke, he was about to open the door and get out of the car. Tang Nuo hurriedly stopped him, and quickly said, "No need, no need, it's too troublesome. It's okay if you don't have a spoon. I don't need a spoon."

The pretty kid pays attention to his image, Shen Youning understands quite well, there are a few packs of disposable gloves in the storage box, which were left over from the barbecue outdoors last time.

"Here you are." Shen Youning said.

The northerners eat roasted sweet potatoes very boldly. They break the sweet potato with both hands towards the two ends, and cut off the sweet potato. The peeled skin is cleaned first, and the mouth is covered with paste.

But Tang Nuo's eating was gentle and cute, he was very quiet, he could hardly hear the sound of chewing, and he didn't swallow too much, taking small sips.

On such a dull Saturday afternoon, bundles of sunlight shone on his side face, warm and tranquil, and his slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, casting a fan-shaped shadow.

Shen Youning saw the magic just like that, he suddenly thought of the eye-catching signboard of the dessert shop, the bright red flyer, and the lamp with the same color as the afterglow, all of which were exactly the same color as Tang Nuo's body at this time.It was a huge circle of light, covering Tang Nuo's ignorance, restraining Shen Youning's heartbeat.

"Has anyone ever said that you... are a bit like a foreigner." Shen Youning said suddenly.

"Not often."

Tang Nuo swallowed what was in his mouth and shook his head slightly.

"Are you half race?" he continued.

"Maybe so," he continued.

Such an answer was too unusual. Shen Youning didn't understand Tang Nuo's meaning, but noticed that the other party's tone was low.

"My father should be white, but I haven't seen him since I was born, and my mother seldom mentioned it, so I don't know very well."

It turned out to be like this.Either he really didn't have any impression, or he had some unpleasant memories. It could be seen that Tang Nuo didn't want to talk about his father, so Shen Youning quickly changed the subject.

"Mom is Chinese, right?"

"Ah."

Responding, Tang Nuo wrapped the remaining half of the sweet potato and held it in his hand again.

"Is mom in city B? Or did she come with you?"

"She has been in her hometown before."

Tang Nuo only spoke half, and the other half seemed to be stuck in his throat. Shen Youning realized that the atmosphere was not right, and was about to talk about something else, when Tang Nuo said inaudibly:

"She passed away half a year ago."

Shen Youning expected it to be an unspeakable secret, but he didn't expect the truth to be so cruel, he could not remedy it, so he reflexively said: "I'm sorry, Xiao Nuo, I didn't mean to—"

"It's okay, Brother Youning, I know."

Tang Nuo never interrupted Shen Youning's speech, this was the first time.

He pretended nothing happened, lowered his head and collected the garbage into a bag, he deceived himself, this was just a common topic, why should Shen Youning apologize to him.

At this moment, he didn't want to be pitied.

After a long time, no one in the car spoke anymore.In the end, Tang Nuo spoke first and asked Shen Youning if he needed to throw out the trash.

Shen Youning said that I will go down with you, the distance is only 30 meters, and he talked more than when he drove here.

"Is there any sweet potato flavored cake in the store?" Shen Youning asked out of nowhere.

"not yet."

"We can make a new product, limited to winter, I'm sure many people like it."

"Okay, I'll try."

"I don't eat sweets very much, but sweet potatoes are low in calories and a good tool for reducing fat."

"Our company's canteen is heavy with oil and salt, and I gained five catties a week after eating it."

"I'll take you to try some other day, you are so thin, it suits you."

Shen Youning has always been talkative, but now he is in a mess. From sweet potato cakes to the canteen of the work unit, a few words are not right.

While not wanting to make the other party sad, his own heart was twisted sourly. Right now, Tang Nuo was like an onion. What happened may be his unknown but endless grief.

On the way back, Shen Youning turned on the radio, trying to dispel the haze hidden in the car.

Tang Nuo was better than before. He no longer forced himself to maintain a state of indifference, and relaxed naturally. Sometimes he would be attracted by the roadside scenery, and sometimes he would point to several unique buildings and ask Shen Youning.

While waiting for the red light, Tang Nuo looked at the time, and Shen Youning followed suit and said, "Do you usually rest? Or do you go to work every day?"

"I rest when I'm tired, and go to the store when I'm not tired."

In fact, for more than a month, Tang Nuo only rested for half a day, and he was used to the lack of life.

"I worked overtime every day a while ago, and I hardly took a break. I was so stupid. Now that the project is completed, it's revenge entertainment."

Shen Youning turned the steering wheel with one hand, observing Tang Nuo's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Knowing that he was a local, Tang Nuo asked casually, "Is there anything interesting here?"

"There are quite a lot of interesting things." Shen Youning said in detail: "There are parks, scenic spots, places of interest, things to play, cat cafes, pottery, theme parks, things to eat and see, and things to see from time to time. Exhibition, entertainment life is quite rich.”

Shen Youning said this quite well, and every example is not for nothing.He was guessing about Tang Nuo's preferences, trying to coincidentally hit them, and create a topic.

"Cat Cafe... Is it the kind of place where you can play with kittens?" Downton asked.

Tang Nuo's entertainment life is very scarce, and he doesn't have much time to go around in college. He heard about cat cafes from his roommates, and he heard that he could eat and drink, and he could also play with cats.

Without asking anything else, just picking out a cat cafe, Shen Youning knew it by heart, and replied: "Yes, a cup of drink is more expensive than ordinary coffee shops, and you can pamper a whole house of cats for a whole day."

"Have you ever gone to play, Brother Youning?" Tang Nuo was obviously very interested, and while asking Shen Youning, he searched on his phone.

"Of course I have. I especially like kittens, especially English shorts and puppets."

Shen Youning is not ashamed to say that, in fact, he knows very little about pets, the only two breeds of cats he knows are British Shorthairs and Ragdolls.

"I also like English short, and I like milky white best."

When mentioning the cat, Tang Nuo's tone rose a little, and it was obvious that he really liked it.

"Then when you get tired someday and want to rest, call me." Shen Youning sent out the invitation again, "Let's go to the cat cafe together."

"Okay, let's go together."

This time, Tang Nuo agreed.

"It can be done tomorrow."

he went on.
