Chapter 11 The Smell of Smoke

After Lin Yuanye took a shower, he changed into Cheng Liao's vest and big underpants and came out. He returned the slippers to Cheng Liao, and then the other party went in to wash.The rain outside the window had gradually subsided, and Lin Yuanye was sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

The notification sound on the phone kept ringing, Lin Yuanye picked it up and glanced at it roughly, then put the phone down lazily.He opened the drawing board on the side of the armrest of the sofa, and turned over the drawing paper on the top, wanting to take out the drawing paper hidden below.

Unexpectedly, the drawing paper was clean, leaving no traces.The sketches he drew for Cheng Liao on the construction site disappeared without his knowledge.

Lin Yuanye frowned slightly, lost in thought and memory for a short while, and quickly ruled out the possibility that the drawing paper fell by the side of the road.And the only answer left is that the painting was secretly taken away by others.

Without wasting too much time, he directly locked his suspicion on Yuan Cun.With a rough guess about where the painting went, Lin Yuanye didn't feel too much annoyance in his heart.

Hearing the sound of someone approaching outside the door, he lowered his head indifferently, stuffed the drawing paper in his hand back to its original place, and then slowly closed the drawing board.

After taking a shower, Cheng Liao stepped in through the door with his head bowed and a dry towel for wiping his hair around his neck.

Lin Yuanye raised his face from the sofa and asked, "Is it still raining outside?"

The man who stepped into the door paused for a while, turned his head and glanced outside the house, and then replied, "Xiao Yu."

Lin Yuanye got up with the drawing board in hand, borrowed a larger umbrella from Cheng Liao and a bag for dirty clothes, and prepared to leave his house.

He took away Cheng Liao's vest and big underpants, and planned to return them to the construction site after washing them at home and drying them.

When I got home, I happened to catch up with the kid next door to deliver food.Lin Yuanye didn't know how to cook, and he didn't want to learn it by himself, so he simply gave money to the neighbors next door every month to eat with them.

Lin Yuanye came in with a lunch box, threw his clothes and pants into the washing machine, and then sat down to eat.

Before I had time to take a few bites, the video notification sound on my phone rang.Swiping the button to turn on the video, he held the phone with one hand and stood up, leaning the phone crookedly in front of the water glass.

The position of the camera is a bit lower, and Kankan only captures the position below his face in the picture.Lin Yuanye was busy eating with his head down, and didn't pay much attention to these details.

Yang Jinnian, whose entire face was exposed on the other side of the phone, was at a loss for words for a long time when he saw clearly the old man's vest he was wearing.

The other party didn't speak aloud, and Lin Yuanye didn't bother to ask.It wasn't until the slight sound of chewing came into his ears that Yang Jinnian suddenly came back to his senses, and asked with hesitation and uncertainty in his tone, "Is it Lin Yuanye himself?"

After earnestly eating, Lin Yuanye briefly took a break, and lazily hummed to his phone.

Recognizing the familiar voice, his cousin's voice suddenly rose, with obvious confusion: "What kind of tattered clothes are you wearing? You have only lived in the country for half a year, how can you be so shabby? Where is it?"

"Why don't you come and live for half a year?" Lin Yuanye asked with a half-smile without explaining too much to the other party.

Yang Jinnian quickly waved his hand to refuse, and at the same time changed the subject nonchalantly: "What have you been up to these days? You didn't reply to your messages."

"I'm not busy with anything." Swallowing the rice in his mouth, Lin Yuanye groaned, half joking and half serious, "I'm just busy fishing."

"Fishing?" Yang Jinnian was slightly taken aback, "What kind of fish can be caught in the small rivers and streams in the countryside? Why don't we wait for you to come back at the end of the year, and we will go fishing in the family's yacht."

Lin Yuanye raised his eyelids and said, "Not necessarily."

"What's not necessarily?" Yang Jinnian asked.

"You may not be back at the end of the year." Lin Yuanye explained slowly.

Yang Jinnian had a rare look of confusion on his face, "What is there to do in such a poor town?"

Lin Yuanye didn't say any more, just looked at him and asked, "What do you want from me?"

The young man in the picture asked in a strange tone: "Can I find you if I have nothing to do?"

Seeing this, Lin Yuanye pointed the phone camera at him, stared at him and stopped talking.He knew Yang Jinnian's character very well. He had a good relationship with this cousin since he was a child, but if there was nothing else on weekdays, the frequency of their chatting online was not high.

And in the past few days, Yang Jinnian not only chatted with him frequently on the Internet, but now even the video was sent directly to him.Lin Yuanye instinctively felt that the other party was looking for him for something.But what also puzzled him was that he had lived in the town for more than half a year, and he didn't know anything about what happened in the circle.

Lin Yuanye couldn't figure out what the other party might want to ask him.

Being stared at by him made him a little guilty, Yang Jinnian pretended to look away, insisting that he was fine.

Lin Yuanye wasn't very interested in his matter, so he didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, and continued to bury his head in eating his own food.The two chatted about something irrelevant, then hung up the video.

Not taking this incident to heart, Lin Yuanye began to wonder where shower heads could be sold in the town after he finished his meal.

When I woke up the next day, it was still raining outside the window.

Lin Yuanye went to the town center to buy a new shower head, and then went to the construction site with the bag.There was not much rain in the town in the morning, and the workers on the construction site continued to work as usual.

He found Cheng Liao on the construction site, and put the umbrella in a bag and returned it to him. After the man took it, he put it beside him without opening the bag to look inside.

Lin Yuanye didn't make a sound to remind him, he didn't want to interfere with the man's work, so after thanking him, he turned and left.He had never seen Yuan Cun in the construction site all morning.

Until it was close to the noon break, when Lin Yuanye went to the bathroom in the dormitory building, the other party came to the door by himself.

When he went in, there was no one else in the toilet.After Lin Yuanye solved his physical needs, he returned to the sink and bent over to wash his hands, when he heard the sound of someone entering the door behind him.

At first, Lin Yuanye didn't pay much attention to the future, until he keenly caught the dull sound of closing the door mixed with the sound of footsteps.Unhurriedly stretching out his hand to tighten the switch, he straightened up and looked back.

With a lighted cigarette dangling from his mouth, Yuan Cun stood in front of the closed toilet door with his hands in his pockets, as if he was waiting for him.

Lin Yuanye pretended to be ignorant, shook off the remaining drops of water on the back of his hand, and walked towards the toilet door with a natural expression.

Yuan Cun didn't give way to him, not only that, but even took a step in front of him, deliberately blocking all his way.The man was hanging out with a cigarette in his mouth, and his slightly slanted eyes were staring at him unscrupulously.

The posture in which he was biting the cigarette and standing seemed somewhat similar to Cheng Liao.But what he and Cheng Liao brought to Lin Yuanye were two completely different feelings.

Lin Yuanye looked back uninterestedly, and said in a calm voice: "Let me go, thank you."

Yuan Cun took down the cigarette in his mouth, and blew smoke into his face, "Where is the great painter going?" Before Lin Yuanye could answer, he grinned to himself, "Are you looking for Cheng Cheng?" burn?"

Lin Yuanye frowned in the pungent smoke and held his breath, ignoring his question.

Sensing the indifference on his face, Yuan Cun was not annoyed at all, grabbed the crumpled paper from his trouser pocket, and slowly unfolded it in front of him, "Did the great painter lose something important? "

After confirming that the smoke had cleared from his eyes, Lin Yuanye said concisely, "What?"

When Yuan Cun heard this, he raised his eyebrows excitedly, shook the drawing paper in his hand to show him, and said with inferior and false sincerity in his voice: "I seem to have picked up a painting that a great painter lost."

While saying such words, he sent the painting to him hypocritically, as if he wanted to return the painting to him.

But Lin Yuanye didn't reach out to pick it up.Cheng Liao's sketches, as long as he wants, he can draw as many pictures as possible.He doesn't want paintings that have been stained by others.

Seeing that he didn't respond at all, Yuan Cun finally pulled his face down, crumpled the drawing paper in his hand roughly, and stuffed it back into his pants pocket.Then he stepped forward and approached, "Do you like men?"

"Hasn't the Marriage Law been revised for a long time?" Lin Yuanye met his uncomfortable gaze, "Like men who break the law?"

As if hearing something funny, Yuan Cun collected his face again, and suddenly smiled at him, "It's not against the law. It's just that someone like Cheng Liao who doesn't understand style, if you want to sleep with him, you might as well try with me." ?”

He lowered his head a little excitedly, and lowered his voice with an unpleasant smell of cigarettes in his mouth: "I will make you very comfortable."

Lin Yuanye, who dealt with him patiently, finally showed the boredom in his eyes unabashedly.

"What kind of eyes do you have?" As if stimulated by the emotion in his eyes, Yuan Cun raised his hand to pinch his chin with a slightly annoyed expression, "So what if you have some money? Why don't you still have to find men everywhere——"

The sudden movement outside the door interrupted the vulgar words he was about to blurt out.

Accompanied by the unhurried knock on the door, Cheng Liao's deep and indifferent voice penetrated the door and fell into the ears of the two: "Who's inside?"

Ignoring the warnings and threats in Yuan Cun's eyes, Lin Yuanye said in a steady tone, "Me."

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, the force clamping his jaw disappeared together.Yuan Cun held back his anger and opened the door behind him, put the cigarette in his hand back into his mouth, bypassed Cheng Liao who was standing outside the door, and strode out.

Without looking at the people who left, Cheng Liao fixed his eyes on Lin Yuanye who was inside the door.Lin Yuanye stood there neatly in his clothes and pants, allowing him to observe and size up.

After a while, the man looked away calmly, walked around him to the sink, bent down and turned on the faucet to wash his face.

Lin Yuanye didn't say anything, just walked out.

Cheng Liao came out after washing his face and found him at the stairs beside the corridor.Lin Yuanye turned around when he heard the movement, and asked, "Go down for dinner?"

The man did not open his mouth to respond, but stopped in front of him without warning, raised his arms to support the railing behind him, and circled him close to the railing.

Lin Yuanye raised his eyes lightly, and froze in place without knowing it.

But Cheng Liao lowered his head slightly, and the tip of his nose and lips approached his face soundlessly.

Lin Yuanye's body froze invisibly, and seemed to have temporarily lost the ability to speak and breathe.

The next second, the man let go and stepped back, looking at him with dark eyes that seemed to be simmering and asking, "What did he do to you?"

"You smell of his cigarettes." Cheng Liao said.
