Five minutes later, Shi Yunnan was temporarily called out by a work call.

Luo Lingsheng sat upright in the wheelchair, the little goldfish stood honestly beside the wall, the uncle and nephew's eyes went up and down, and they were facing each other, as if no one was convinced.

Luo Lingsheng listened to Shi Yunan's phone call in the corridor outside, and took the opportunity to ask, "When did I tell you to watch my uncle, lest he be deceived by others?"

"..."

Seeing that Shi Yunnan's protection was gone, the little goldfish who took the blame for his uncle, hid a pair of small hands restlessly behind him.

He suddenly remembered the scene of Shi Yunnan talking with the foreign man, and for the first time, his small body became tough in front of his uncle, "Uncle, you didn't say it, but that's what you meant!"

"If I hadn't called 'Dad', my uncle would have been deceived by others today!"

Luo Lingsheng raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Who? Or the foreign uncle you saw last time?"

The little goldfish nodded. On the matter of 'protecting Shi Yunnan', the uncle and nephew's thoughts reached a high degree of unity.

"Uncle, that person also said that he wanted to invite my uncle to afternoon tea, and then I..."

"And what about you?" Shi Yunnan walked in from outside after calling.

Luo Lingsheng and Little Goldfish staggered their gazes and landed on him at the same time.

Shi Yunnan suppressed the laughter in his heart and taught a lesson with a stern face, "When will I go out to do errands and have to be strictly reviewed by the two of you?"

The little goldfish blinked and said nothing.

Shi Yunnan couldn't blame him for a few words, and turned his attention to Luo Lingsheng, "Luo family master, what about you? How dare you be an uncle behind my back?"

"..."

Luo Lingsheng coughed lightly and had to be silent.

After all, he is an uncle, so can he really care about his little nephew?

Shi Yunan's lips curved upwards, and he took the initiative to turn the matter over, "Okay, go take a shower first, it's time for the little goldfish to stand."

"Qin Jian has already found a private teacher. From tomorrow, the little goldfish will study at home strictly according to the kindergarten class time."

Luo Lingsheng's surgery was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. I didn't know what the situation would be during and after the operation. Shi Yunnan would definitely stay in the hospital to accompany him the whole time, and he might not be able to take care of the little goldfish properly.

It is necessary to ask a private teacher to divide the time of the children and take care of them outside of study.

"……what?"

The little goldfish, who had just been playing wild for a few days, held back his mouth and protested in a low voice, "But little uncle, tomorrow is still Sunday."

Luo Lingsheng looked over calmly, "If you don't behave well, I'll send you back to China first."

When the little goldfish heard this, he had to accept his fate.

OK.

Just go to class, as long as he can stay by his two uncles anyway.

...

The next morning.

The little goldfish who stayed in the hospital ward started a normal class life again. When he was still sleepy, he was taken by Qin Jian to see the private teacher.

Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui in China completed the communication and completed the final revision of the private order.

Luo Lingsheng pushed the wheelchair and approached, "Are you done?"

"Ok."

"When Yuan Rui and first met, it did seem like a different person." Luo Lingsheng's mouth was rarely a compliment to others.

Shi Yunnan was stunned for two seconds, then glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, only to realize that it was past twelve noon, and Yuan Rui, who had just started video communication with him, stayed with him until the early morning.

Shi Yunnan sighed lightly, "When people want to grow up, sometimes it's just a thought."

Yuan Rui has changed a lot since Lu Zhaoan chose to leave the studio.

Asking him to tell him, Lu Zhaoan, a senior brother, is really ruthless, saying "disappear" and "disappear", and he doesn't know where he is hiding now?

Luo Lingsheng pinched Shi Yunan's earlobe, with a hint of taste in his tone, "Don't think about other men."

"..."

Shi Yunnan, who was caught upright, laughed helplessly.

He held Luo Lingsheng's wrist instead, tilted his head and rubbed it, "Are you living in my head? How can you be caught in a temporary trance."

Luo Lingsheng stroked the side of his neck with his fingertips, "What's for lunch?"

Shi Yunan closed the computer, "Whatever, I'm not particularly hungry."

Luo Lingsheng nodded, "Okay, pack up after eating, let's go out."

"Going out this afternoon? You're not training anymore?" Shi Yunnan was a little surprised.

"No, the surgery will be done the day after tomorrow, just recharge your batteries and take a good rest."

Luo Lingsheng paused and mentioned what he believed to be the serious business, "When I first came here a while ago, didn't you say you wanted to go to the 'Ellie' store?"

Shi Yunnan's eyes lit up, "Let's go in the afternoon? Didn't the doctor say it's best not to leave the hospital?"

Luo Lingsheng met his bright eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I told Dr. Aisi, and Yuan Meng and his bodyguards are watching when you go out, just have something to eat with you, nothing will happen. "

After that, he didn't know how long he would stay in the hospital bed. Besides, the chances of success of the operation had always been very low. Luo Lingsheng wanted to take advantage of his current physical condition to accompany Shi Yunnan to complete this plan.

Shi Yunnan had no objection, "Okay."

...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the black car stopped at a familiar landmark, and Shi Yunnan and Yuan Meng helped Luo Lingsheng get out of the car.

Shi Yunnan looked at the small three-story white building in front of him, and the smile on his lips could not help but expand, "I didn't expect it was still in business? I was afraid that it would be a waste of time."

"Mr. Shi, the owner of the family must have brought you here after confirming the situation." Yuan Meng, who was beside him, murmured, and thought of something before he stopped talking.

Luo Lingsheng instructed, "Yuan Meng, you and the others guard yourself, we will come out after going in for a while."

"Yes."

Seeing this, Shi Yunnan took the initiative to push Luo Lingsheng in.

As soon as the fence-style outer door opened, a familiar female voice recorded, "Welcome."

This was recorded by the ex-wife of the boss who passed away, and it has not changed over the years.

The middle-aged boss raised his head in front of the counter. When he saw Shi Yunnan's familiar Chinese face, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Aonan? Long time no see."

When Shi Yunnan heard his foreign name, he hooked his lips and gestured. He bent down to look at Luo Lingsheng, "What do you want to eat?"

Seeing this, the middle-aged boss turned his eyes to Luo Lingsheng in the wheelchair. His azure blue pupils overflowed with shock and regret, and then he returned to calm.

Shi Yunnan, who bent over to ask, naturally didn't notice this.

Luo Lingsheng replied, "I'll accompany you to eat, you don't need to order extra."

Shi Yunnan remembered that Luo Lingsheng didn't like sweets very much, and he also thought about his surgery the day after tomorrow, so he really had to abstain from food.

"Okay, it's the same, the same position." Shi Yunnan briefly said to the boss, who immediately understood, "Okay."

After the two went to the courtyard, the boss let out a pleasant sigh, "...So that's what happened."

The dessert apprentice, who has only come here in the past two years, is unclear, so, "Boss, what do the two guests want?"

"Come on, Ao Nang used to come every weekend, he is our super VIP guest." The boss said in a good mood, turned around and entered the dessert making room.

Shi Yunnan took Luo Lingsheng and sat at the corner of the courtyard on the first floor. In addition, there were a few scattered guests sitting at other tables.

The spring breeze came with the fragrance of flowers, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Shi Yunnan looked around, looking at the familiar scenery around him, leaned closer to Luo Lingsheng and said, "I also discovered this store by accident, and the more I eat, the more addicted it becomes."

"I remember a period of time when the boss encountered some difficulties with funds. I almost thought it was going to go bankrupt, but I didn't expect it to last until now?"

There was an unreal aftertaste in Luo Lingsheng's eyes, "Really?"

"Ok."

Shi Yunan nodded, "Let me think about it, when was the first time?"

...

Eight years ago, late summer evening.

Shi Yunnan, who had just finished the billiards training camp, sat in the passenger seat and silently watched the multinational text messages sent from his mobile phone.

Fu Ziyu glanced at him while driving, "What's wrong? Are you gloomy on your phone when you get in the car?"

Shi Yunnan rubbed his hair indiscriminately, and stopped on the phone button with his other hand, not knowing how to reply, "...My grandfather sent me a text message, I don't know if I want to reply."

Fu Ziyu frowned, "What did the old man say?"

Shi Yunnan did not answer.

Fu Zi didn't respond when he met his friend, so he said to himself, "If you want me to tell you, you shouldn't pay attention to the Wen family."

"That idiot named Wen Chenglang dared to do it and didn't recognize it. He overthrew Mr. Wen himself, and was so embarrassed to throw the black cauldron on you? Bah!"

"And your aunt loves her son to the point of right and wrong. Wen Chenglang is not yet an adult. What will the three views be like in the future? And your uncle..."

Seeing that his friend said he couldn't stop, Shi Yunnan had no choice but to stop it, "Okay, I won't go back to Wen's house, don't worry about it."

Fu Ziyu clicked his tongue twice, "It's almost the same, I'm not afraid that you will be bullied again?"

Shi Yunnan put away his mobile phone, not yet trying to reply to Mr. Wen's long concern.

He looked out of the car window, and suddenly found a relatively independent white shop on the side of the road. Suddenly, his mind moved slightly, "Stop."

"Ah?" Fu Ziyu stepped on the brakes on the open road.

Shi Yunnan pointed to the shop that had already opened, "Eat something."

"Can't you eat in the city center?"

While complaining, Fu Ziyu turned around and drove into the parking lot outside the store.

The two have just entered the independent store.

The mellow coffee flavor and the sweet and creamy flavor are mixed in the air, forming a unique and attractive taste.

Shi Yunnan immediately stepped forward and picked up the food list in front of the counter.

Fu Ziyu stood there and didn't move. He just said in Chinese, "It's dinner time. What dessert?"

Shi Yunnan didn't look back, "Then you go back to the car and sit. I'm hungry and thirsty, so I'm going to have something to eat here."

"..."

Fu Ziyu stepped forward as if resigned.

How dare he leave Shi Yunnan alone in such a place?

The two quickly ordered things, and the boss greeted politely, "There are places to do indoors and courtyards on the first floor, and indoors and balconies on the second floor. You can choose at will. It takes about 20 minutes to serve meals here."

"good."

Shi Yunnan didn't bother to go up to the second floor and went straight to the courtyard behind the store.

It was past afternoon tea time, and there were only a couple of them in the shop. Shi Yunnan chose an off-angle to sit down. Although it was late summer, it was very cool in the evening.

Fu Ziyu picked up the chair next to him and sat down, "Who did you learn this habit from? The location is specially designed to be off-kilter. Occasionally, I will take you to a banquet, and you will also hide in the rest area?"

Shi Yunnan smiled and didn't answer.

Not a habit.

It was the unease of being ignored and despised for many years, which made him automatically raise a sense of protection in his heart.

Sitting at an off-angle with few people is not easy to attract the attention of foreign students, which can save some unnecessary troubles.

Hiding in the rest area where few people pay attention, you don't have to be taunted and ridiculed by those banquet guests who are stepping on high and low.

Shi Yunnan is not afraid of things, but he is too lazy to entangle with those who despise him.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the standing card list on the table——

The front is the food list they have just seen, and the back is a photo of two people and a paragraph of text. One of the characters in the photo is the boss just now.

Shi Yunnan read the English letters, and there was a touch of complexity between his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?"

Fu Ziyu got close to him and read the words on the item in his hand——

The owner and her wife are childhood sweethearts, and the store was designed and built together by the husband and wife. Unfortunately, just before the opening, a drunk driving accident took away his wife.

After being depressed for half a year, the boss finally regained his spirits.

In order to miss his deceased wife, he still kept the shop alone. The coffee drinks and sweets in it were all arranged by her wife's love before her death.

Shi Yunnan suddenly thought of his father.

Not long after Wen Min died, Shi Sheng brought Xie Wei into the house. How sarcastic in comparison?

Shi Yunnan asked unconsciously, "Isn't it particularly difficult to identify a person from the beginning to the end of a lifetime?"

Fu Ziyu knew that his friend should be thinking of his parents, so he deliberately hooked his shoulders like a gag, showing a cute young master.

"What? Do you think I'm not good enough for you? Come on, give me a kiss, baby."

"..."

Shi Yunnan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and used his own way to treat others, "Come on, kiss."

This time, it was Fu Ziyu's turn who couldn't take it anymore.

The relationship between the two of them is stronger than steel, and they are not twisted together to death.

Shi Yunnan lost the sense of melancholy in his heart, and hooked his friend back to continue teasing and playing, so frightened that Fu Ziyu almost got under the table.

The two are only eighteen or nineteen years old, and they have been playing together since childhood. They are heartless at this moment, and they can say any jokes.

But what they didn't know was that there was a deep sight on the balcony on the second floor at the moment—

Luo Lingsheng squeezed the coffee cup, and his eyes fell directly on the white figure in the courtyard on the first floor under the cover of the white protective railing.

At first, he just heard Chinese by accident, so he took a look at it when he had nothing to do.

But the moment Shi Yunnan's figure entered his line of sight, the scene four months ago entered Luo Lingsheng's mind uncontrollably——

"Luo Lingsheng, you are so beautiful."

"Do you like boys or girls? Do you have a lover? Can I chase you?"

It was probably because the drunk Shi Yunnan had left a deep impression on him. Since the separation at the birthday party that day, Luo Lingsheng would recall that scene from time to time.

Because he had no contact information, after hesitating, he sent someone to inquire about Shi Yunnan secretly, but the information he got was that Shi Yunnan was neither in Wen's nor Shi's house.

As the young master of the fourth room of the Luo family, how could Luo Lingsheng want to find someone because of a drunken encounter?

After the matter was over, Luo Lingsheng could only suppress the inexplicable emotions, but he never expected that after nearly four months, he would meet Shi Yunnan again in a foreign country?

only……

The person next to Shi Yunnan is his boyfriend?

Luo Lingsheng, who came up with this guess, frowned unconsciously, and suddenly the phone vibrated, and it was Mother Luo who called.

"Hey, Mom."

"Ling Sheng, where have you been this afternoon? Are you hiding on purpose and don't want to see the daughter of the Chen family?" Mother Luo's helpless voice came.

Luo Lingsheng turned around and closed the computer on the table, "No, I'm busy."

"Okay, let me ask you a serious business. Did you fancy a daughter at the Wen family's birthday party some time ago? Last time Yu Shuo's child teased you, I happened to hear some..."

Luo Lingsheng was silent.

Although same-sex marriage has been approved, Luo's serious family style is absolutely unacceptable for homosexual love among descendants.

Mother Luo was still babbling, "It's not surprising that you are in a relationship at your age. Your sister and your brother-in-law got engaged some time ago, and it's your turn in our family."

Luo Lingsheng regained his senses, feeling more and more inexplicably anxious.

"Mom, I'm really not in a hurry. I haven't finished what Grandpa told me, so I'll hang up first."

He hung up the phone neatly and couldn't help but search for the figure in the courtyard on the first floor again.

It was only the time of the phone call, and the topic of the chat downstairs had changed. For some reason, Shi Yunnan and his friends had already talked about the Luo family in the imperial capital in China.

"Isn't it? You've been back to China a few times, and you haven't heard of the Luo family? Some time ago, how many rooms did their family have? That engagement pomp..."

Shi Yunnan fiddled with his mobile phone and replied disinterestedly, "Don't mention the Luo family, I don't know. Do you know what the rich young masters of the imperial capital are like?"

"You have this American time, why don't you rush the boss, I'm really hungry."

Shi Yunnan kicked Fu Ziyu as he spoke.

The two are playing at the billiards training camp today, and the loser has to 'serve' until tomorrow morning.

Fu Ziyu was tickled by his friend's pretentious appearance, and couldn't help kneading his hair in revenge, "Come on, you little ancestor! Did I owe you in a previous life?"

Shi Yunnan chuckled lightly and did not refute.

"..."

Standing on the second floor, Luo Lingsheng silently stared at the interaction between the two, thinking of Shi Yunnan's perfunctory attitude towards the Luo family that he didn't care about at all, he felt an emptiness in his heart for no reason.

——Luo Lingsheng, I will remember you, see you next time.

Originally it was an accidental encounter, and it was nonsense after drinking, how could it be true?

Luo Lingsheng put away those ridiculous impulse thoughts, packed up his computer files and went downstairs.

After Fu Ziyu urged him to return to the courtyard, he saw that Shi Yunnan's eyes were inexplicably fixed in one place.

"Hello? What are you looking at?"

Shi Yunnan turned slightly and raised his eyebrows, "Go away, don't block my sight."

Fu Ziyu sat down in the same place angrily and followed his gaze. From their position, he could just see the checkout counter of the store diagonally——

After he finished urging, there was a back figure in front of the counter.

It was the figure of a young man, with a height of almost 1.9 meters, which looked very intimidating. The thin black lining perfectly outlined his latissimus dorsi. Those slender and straight legs made it impossible to look away.

But soon the other party left the store, and there was no chance to show his face at all.

Shi Yunnan leaned back on the back of the chair and murmured, "Unfortunately, I guess there will be a handsome guy in front."

Fu Ziyu thought it was funny, "What a pity? Can you still follow up and ask for contact information?"

Before Shi Yunnan could speak, the boss came over with desserts and drinks, "Hello, two of you, this is all the food you ordered."

Shi Yunnan glanced at Shang Qi's food, "How much? We haven't paid for it just now."

"No need." The boss answered truthfully, "The gentleman who left the store just now has already paid for you."

Shi Yunnan glanced at the empty counter again, and there was an indescribable subtlety in his heart.

...

"Aonang, this is the food you ordered."

The boss's words brought Shi Yunnan's thoughts back to reality.

Shi Yunnan glanced at Luo Lingsheng and happily took a bite of the matcha roll, "It smells like the original."

The boss showed a satisfied look, "Eating too."

"That's right." Shi Yunnan remembered the little goldfish who was trapped at home studying today, and said to the boss, "Give me another one, and there are children at home who want to eat."

The boss nodded and hurried over to prepare.

Luo Lingsheng looked at him and said, "If you think about Jin Yu like this, he will only stick to you more and more."

"Isn't it good for him to stick to me?" Shi Yunnan took a bite of the matcha roll and raised his eyebrows proudly.

The next second, he approached Luo Lingsheng, his slightly raised eyes showed sly and anticipation, "What about you? Will you stick to me more and more?"

Luo Lingsheng stared at the lips that were close at hand with a hint of milk, and took the initiative to kiss him.

I can never leave you.

A silent answer is worth a thousand words, Shi Yunan withdrew contentedly, "Mr. Luo, is this dessert sweet?"

The two smiled at each other.

"sweet."

Shi Yunnan was always thinking about Luo Lingsheng's surgery, and didn't want to stay out for too long and have an accident. The two stayed in the store for less than an hour before leaving with the packaged desserts.

The boss watched the backs of the two leave, and showed a meaningful smile again.

The apprentice beside him couldn't hold back his curiosity, "Boss, why are you always staring at these two guests?"

"About four years ago, I was deceived by a friend, and the funds in the store were transferred overnight."

Because of this incident, his shop almost couldn't open.

"Later, when I was disheartened, I got funding from Mr. Luo, and his reason for funding me for free was ridiculously simple."

Luo Lingsheng said: He often comes to your store.

Besides Shi Yunnan, Luo Lingsheng was also a regular customer in their shop.

However, Luo Lingsheng didn't come as often as Shi Yunnan, and he wasn't in a wheelchair at that time.

Later, the boss overcame the financial crisis and slowly returned the money to the account given by Luo Lingsheng. It's a pity that the latter has never appeared again, and the boss has never guessed who the other party is referring to?

Until that moment, the boss's doubts over the years were answered.

In the parking lot outside, the black car drove out.

Shi Yunnan in the car looked at the white building that had been standing all the year round, and suddenly heard Luo Lingsheng beside him asking, "You haven't finished talking just now, the first time was because you passed by this store, what happened later?"

Shi Yunnan squeezed the cake shell in his hand, and replied casually, "Of course I came here again because I liked it, and then I got used to it."

After speaking, Shi Yunnan quickly glanced at Luo Lingsheng, his eyes flickering.

He just remembered that in the afternoon of the next day, he came to this store again——

Because Shi Yunnan was really curious about the man who didn't show his face but paid for them, so he thought of trying his luck again, anyway, to eat something and pay back the money.

Unfortunately, it came back in vain. Later, he naturally forgot about it.

"What's the matter?" Luo Lingsheng caught his fleeting guilty conscience.

"It's okay." Shi Yunnan cleared his throat and secretly made up for himself—

When I was young and ignorant, who didn't have a face control?

In order to avoid Luo Lingsheng's jealousy, he concealed this little situation, shouldn't it be an exaggeration?
