"Hey, hello, old Cheng, I'm home, let me tell you. By the way, is your guy there? Oh, it's overtime again? Then you can convey thank you for me. Thank him for these few days Tian’s shelter still has kind suggestions. Hey, don’t worry about any suggestions, just remember to pass them on. Well, I see, and you are welcome to bring your family to City B to play~ It’s okay, don’t get embarrassed again Alright, then hang up first, bye!"

Cao Liyu hung up the phone, turned around and found that Li Hang had parked his car and was looking at him with a smile.

"What are you looking at? It's so gross, let's go upstairs!" Cao Liyu felt the temperature rising slightly on his face, so he quickly unbuckled his seat belt and opened the door to get out of the car.

"Uncle Cao is getting more and more expensive, and you can't even take a look at it." Li Hang muttered pretending to be wronged, and followed closely behind.

Taking the elevator all the way up, Cao Liyu couldn't help but get nervous seeing the floor numbers jumping up and down.

"Hey, did you say Xiao Yu is home?" Cao Liyu asked in a low voice, as if someone would find out if he spoke louder.

"It should be here. He was already on the subway when I called." Li Hang replied with a smile.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...although I've thought it through, I haven't figured out how to start the actual confrontation~"

"Hehe, what do you need to start? Are you going to talk about cross talk?"

"Hmph, you really don't feel back pain when you stand and talk."

Cao Liyu gave Li Hang a hard look. The elevator had reached the floor. He stepped out, stood at the door of the house for a second, took a deep breath, and then rang the doorbell: "Xiao Yuer~ open the door~ I'm back!"

There was no movement inside the door, Cao Liyu stood holding his breath for a while, then looked back at Li Hang suspiciously.Li Hang curled his lips, pushed aside Cao Liyu and took out the key to open the door: "There is a key, but what door do you want to knock on? Do you still want Xiao Yu to come to the door like a little wife wearing an apron to welcome you home?"

Li Hang opened the door, changed his shoes, and walked in with Cao Liyu's backpack. While walking towards Cao Liyu's room, he shouted towards the kitchen: "Xiao Yu! We're back."

"Cut! It doesn't hurt your back to talk while standing." Cao Liyu muttered as he slowly changed his shoes, and then moved slowly into the room.

At this time, the sliding door of the kitchen opened with a bang, and the aroma of the food in the kitchen and the sound of the range hood whistling instantly poured into the living room. Then Xiao Yu stood at the door of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a spatula. Cao Liyu's eyes lit up in an instant, as if he was full of many emotions and words, but he didn't know where to start.

In the end Xiao Yu just smiled gently and asked, "Liyu, are you back?"

Cao Liyu scratched the back of his head, hesitated twice, then suddenly took a deep breath and let it out heavily, and replied loudly and clearly: "Xiao Yu, I'm back, let's be together!"

He said this almost with the strength of shouting, the voice was so loud that Xiao Yu froze on the spot for a moment, not knowing how to react, Li Hang also came out from Cao Liyu's room after putting his backpack away, watching the two staring at each other, very uncomfortable To save face, he let out a "puchi" laugh.

Cao Liyu rolled his eyes at Li Hang again, strode forward, grabbed Xiao Yu's shoulder, and gnawed on his mouth, which was to prove his words with practical actions.In the most serious tone, he said again to Xiao Yu's nose to nose: "Xiao Yu, I like you, let's be together." But Xiao Yu's first reaction was to turn his head and look at Li Hang aside.

Li Hang was leaning against the door and sniggering, but when he saw Xiao Yu looking at him, he straightened up and walked forward, kissed Xiao Yu's slightly parted lips, then kissed Cao Liyu's dark eyes, and surrounded the two with a smile. Human neck: "We're going to be together forever."

The smell was overflowing in the kitchen, and Cao Liyu could still hear the sound of food tumbling in the hot oil. For a moment, he was distracted and thought: What delicious food are you frying?It won't burn, will it?But he didn't run to find out, but quietly cuddled with Li Hang and Xiao Yu, with a contented smirk on his face.

The opening of a new store is a major event that must be celebrated, especially for Cao Liyu who has never started a business.Although this is not his shop, he is even more excited than the official owner Li Hang. Since the night before, he has kept his eyes open and excited until the sky turned white. Manbu's eyes turned to look at him, and he fell asleep with distressed and funny expressions.Of course, Cao Liyu was half an hour late for work this morning.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Liang Dong held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for his own amusement, but although today was Thursday, there were quite a few people present, and he didn't know whether they came here specially to support or just to join in the fun.Liang Dong, Li Hang, and a few middle-aged men who didn't know Cao Liyu at all, but seemed to have an extraordinary bearing, cut down on the red silk with scissors, and immediately there were crackling sounds one after another. Throw it out, and trample on it one after another.Cao Liyu also happily mixed with a group of young people chasing and stepping on balloons.

Seeing Cao Liyu's childish look, Li Hang lowered his head and snickered twice.Liang Dong glanced at him sideways, then looked at Cao Liyu, and sighed with complete regret: "What a naive and lovely child, I don't know that people's hearts are sinister, so I was bent by you just like that."

"Hehe, that's what you said about Xiao Yu at the beginning, but haven't we had a good time? Besides, Cao Liyu was the one who broke up with the two of us." Li Hang didn't care, and even replied with a bit of complacency. road.

"Should I praise your ability to lead bad people? Li Hang, did I say that you and Xu Zhiyuan are alike in some places? I can't say, it's the part that makes people love and hate." Liang Dong looked at the sky, silently Pray for Cao Liyu.

"I didn't say it, but it turns out that this part is very attractive to you. I won't tell you, your main palace is here." Li Hang smiled and winked behind Liang Dong, and walked towards Cao Liyu, intending to play The older children who had to devote themselves were brought into the store.

Liang Dong looked speechlessly at Li Hang who was smiling more and more recently, and raised one corner of his lips, revealing a smile that Cao Liyu regarded as a "yuppie".

"What's so happy about it?" Xu Zhiyuan stood behind Liang Dong and handed him a glass of Manhattan sunset.

"It's nothing, seeing their young people playing and fighting, I always feel that I have some vitality." Liang Dong took the wine glass and sighed, full of the vicissitudes of life.

"Oh, it's good to be kind, with more energy, we can play longer like young people at night." Xu Zhiyuan leaned close to Liang Dong's ear, whispered ambiguously, and breathed hot air into his pierced ears after speaking.

Liang Dong turned his head and glared at Xu Zhiyuan, as if he couldn't stand the stimulation, he frowned lightly, but the skin at the base of his ears turned red: "There are so many people watching, please calm down, and I will make trouble with you when I go back."

"Okay, I'm waiting to go back and make a big fuss." Xu Zhiyuan distanced himself a little, and smiled ambiguously, that kind of laughter is definitely something that Cao Liyu has never seen, and will never see, "By the way, your shop From winter to spring, and then to summer, what’s the reason? If you didn’t say it opened today, I would have thought this store opened 100 years ago.”

"Hehe, this is Li Hang's request, because today is a good day. You will find out later." Liang Dong still smiled wickedly, making a fool of himself.

Without waiting for Xu Zhiyuan to use means to extract a confession, two groups of people came here, one group surrounded Liang Dong to congratulate him, and the other group raised their wine glasses to Xu Zhiyuan with flattering smiles.The two looked at each other without a trace and smiled, and each walked into their respective circles.

On the other end, Cao Liyu had already been carried by Li Hang to the store and found a seat close to the stage. He told him not to run around, he had to socialize, and came to him when it was over.

Cao Liyu looked around. The opening night was really lively. Although there were special drinks and special band performances today, there were too many customers. The originally big store could hardly accommodate so many people. There are also some private seats outside.

"Go and do your work, by the way, where is Xiao Yu? I haven't seen him since just now. Should he be free?" Cao Liyu said as he wanted to stand up and look for someone.

"You had a good time, and you only think of Xiao Yu now? Maybe you went to the bathroom? You call him later and ask him to come over to accompany you. Then I will come to you later." Li Hang said Pushing the person back, he conveniently took a glass of colorful cocktails from the passing waiter's tray and placed them in front of Cao Liyu, then turned around and blended into the crowd.

"Hmph, you're throwing me away? Cut, think I'm a rarity?" Cao Liyu sneered and began to sip.

However, without the two people who were always by his side and never let himself be alone in unfamiliar environments, Cao Liyu still felt a little dazed, and he couldn't even taste the wine in his mouth.He rested his chin and stared blankly for a while at the specially invited band to take over the stage, adjusted the instrument, and took out his mobile phone to dial Xiao Yu's number.

Not long after the color bell rang, Xiao Yu's soft voice came from the other end. It was like a clear spring of oasis amidst the noisy background sound, making Cao Liyu's ears feel very comfortable.

"Hey, Liyu, where are you?"

"Little Yu'er~ I still want to ask where you are~ I'm sitting in the first row of seats in front of the stage, that bastard Li Hang has slipped away, come and comfort me~"

"Hehe, okay, I see you. I'm on the stage, you can see me when you look up."

"Eh? On stage? What are you doing on stage..."

As soon as Cao Liyu looked up, he saw Xiao Yu sitting on the high stool in the middle of the stage at some point, stepping on the rung of the stool with one foot on the ground and one knee bent, holding the mobile phone in one hand and adjusting the height of the microphone with the other.Seeing Cao Liyu looked up and saw himself, Xiao Yu smiled softly with a full of pampering expression, then hung up the phone and put the phone in his trouser pocket.

Before Cao Liyu recovered from his stupefaction, Xiao Yu tried the effects of the microphone and the sound system, and began to speak: "Uh, hello everyone, thank you for coming to 'Yin Xia' tonight, I hope you all have a good time. Then Come down and hope that everyone can allow me to take up some of your time. Oh, I am not the lead singer of the band, so don’t be disappointed. The following program is definitely more exciting than everyone’s imagination. Well, I am a friend of Li Hang, the owner of 'Yin Xia'. My name is Xiao Yu. What am I going to do now that I occupy the microphone on the stage? Actually, I am a person who is relatively stage frightened, but I overcame my timidity and came on stage today because I wanted to sing a song for a very important friend. He, Cao Liyu, happy birthday."

The music of the guitar and the keyboard poured out with Xiao Yu's voice at the same time, covering the entire bar, and even attracted the attention of countless passers-by outside the store who were looking at it curiously.After two eight beats, Xiao Yu softly hummed a touching melody——

Isee trees of green red rosestoo

Iseethembloomformeandyou

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Isee skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed day the dark sacred night

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

Are also soon the faces of people going by

IseefriendsshakinghandssayingHowdoyoudo

They're really saying I love you

I hear babies cry I watch them mgrow

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Yes I think to myself

What a wonderful world (*Note)

At the end of the song, the enthusiastic and restless people in the bar seemed to be washed away by this sweet clear stream, quietly reveling in the aftertaste of the singing without moving for a long time.Xiao Yu didn't care either, and moved away from the microphone, the voice was not loud but clearly reached Cao Liyu's ears word by word: "Liyu, happy birthday."

Only then did people remember to applaud and cheer. Xiao Yu smiled shyly and nodded at the people, got up and walked off the stage.Just when Cao Liyu finally remembered to clean up his possibly intoxicated nympho face, the lights in the bar suddenly dimmed again, making everyone's eyes focus on the three candlelit candles on the dining car rolled out behind the stage. layer on top of a large cake.

The person pushing the cart was Li Hang. He pushed the cart to Cao Liyu’s desk, and said with a smile, “Happy birthday, birthday boy, please make a wish.” Then he took the lead in singing the birthday song, and the onlookers joined in one after another. He gave birth to He Dajun and sang loudly.

Cao Liyu looked at Li Hang at a loss, then looked at Xiao Yu, and then looked around at the men and women who smiled at him in a friendly manner. Finally, he came back to his senses and burst into a bright smile happily.

After making a wish, blowing out the candles, distributing the cake, and fighting the cream fight, Cao Liyu drank a lot of wine, and then he staggered and was driven by Li Hang to hide in the backyard to rest. Xiao Yu followed and listened helplessly to Cao Liyu's ambiguity He muttered indistinctly.

Li Hang helped Cao Liyu fall onto the wicker chair in the yard, Xiao Yu had already twisted a wet towel to wipe Cao Liyu's face.Cao Liyu was so comfortable being served, he snorted twice, opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yu and Li Hang with a smirk.

"What are you looking at, you're so stupid." Li Hang hit Cao Liyu with his usual ruthless mockery, but he couldn't take back the love in his eyes.

"Hehehe, you think I'm stupid, but you're so smart, why don't you like me that much?" Looking at Xiao Yu again, "Xiao Yuer, let's ignore him, I like you."

Xiao Yu leaned over and kissed Cao Liyu's lips with a smile: "I like you too."

Li Hang was unhappy: "Say it as if you don't like me."

Cao Liyu raised his wrist and wanted to pat Li Hang's head, but found that his hands were not under control, so he gave up, just smiled and comforted: "Okay, I like you too~"

Hearing this, Li Hang also bent down and kissed Cao Liyu's lips, and when he straightened up, he patted his drowsy face: "Don't fall asleep so quickly, we haven't given you the gift yet."

"Gift? See you tomorrow..."

"No, just look at it now, you don't have to do anything, just open your eyes."

"Oh, it's fine if I receive your wishes. I'll see the difference between presents tomorrow and today..."

"Hey, Liyu, take a look, you will definitely like it."

Even after Xiao Yu said that, Cao Liyu finally reluctantly lifted his heavy eyelids and refocused his scattered eyes.At this time, there was only a "snap" sound of the switch, and the whole backyard suddenly lit up like a life.Right in front of Cao Liyu's eyes, a large micro-landscape with mountains, waters, buildings and roads occupies one-third of the yard. In the middle, Cao Liyu found the "world" he was familiar with.

"Xiao Yu and I spent three months expanding according to the outer edge of the original 'world'. How is it? Do you like it?" Li Hang's deep and pleasant voice sounded behind him.

It took Cao Liyu a long time to murmur in a hoarse voice: "It's so fucking spectacular...you two are so awesome! I...I like it so much!!!"

"I just said that you will definitely like it, right?" Xiao Yu couldn't hide her smile.

"Well, I like it, I like it very much, I like it so much! I like you guys more! I love you guys! I love Li Hang! I love Xiao Yu!" Cao Liyu may be over excited, from drowsy to sleepy Nothing, struggling to get up from the rattan chair and embrace the two people who brought him surprises.

"Don't get up, you can't even stand on your feet. What do you want to do? Let's do it." Xiao Yu pressed Cao Liyu's hand comfortingly, and asked closer.

"I..." Cao Liyu paused, and suddenly grabbed Xiao Yu's neck, leaning in for a big wet kiss, so enthusiastic that even Li Hang was a little dazed.After the kiss was over, Cao Liyu hooked his fingers to Li Hang again, "Come, I'll change you."

Li Hang would rather not do it, he respectfully leaned forward and let Cao Liyu gnaw on him.After gnawing, Cao Liyu's eyes were filled with pink water vapor, and he murmured softly: "I want...I want to do..."

Li Hang and Xiao Yu were taken aback at the same time, and then laughed happily: "Okay, let's go home."

"Well, let's go home." Cao Liyu muttered, groping to find the palms of the two people, and grasping tightly in the palms of the left and right.

The new "world" in early summer is lush and full of vitality. Accompanied by the warm lights and the long chirping of summer insects, it is quietly waiting for another long summer in the yard.
