Chapter 5 Child, where are you?
In summer, the sun sets late. Even in the evening, the scorching sun hanging on the sea level is still burning. The Hehua trees on both sides of the long street are drooping their leaves, as if they are too sunken.
It had just rained last night, and a humid and stuffy water vapor rolled in the air. On such a hot day, Liner didn't have the interest in shopping and opened the door nearby and entered a dessert shop.
When the clerk heard the sound of wind chimes coming from the door, he quickly put down the tray in his hand and greeted him with a smile: "Welcome, beauty, what do you want to buy?"
Before Liner could answer, the cell phone in his pocket rang first.
The ringtone was pleasant and ding dong kept. Lin Er glanced at the name that was jumping on the screen. He first said a birthday cake to the clerk, and then answered the phone: "Hey?"
On the other end of the phone, a young man's voice came over: "Child, where are you?"
The man's voice is lazy and his ending sound is slightly raised when he speaks, which sounds a bit unbuttonous.
Lin Er couldn't help but tickled in his heart.
Lin Yian even seems to be flirting when answering a call.
"What's wrong outside?"
While resuming the phone absent-mindedly, Lin Er followed the clerk who was leading the way to the cake display cabinet in front.
"I know you're outside, isn't this asking where you are?"
Lin Yian chuckled, got up and pushed away the female companion in her arms, intending to go to the balcony to answer the phone.
The female companion twisted her body with some dissatisfaction, as if she wanted to act coquettishly with him, but after touching his cold eyes, she immediately stopped and stood up obediently from his arms.
"Be good." Lin Yian was satisfied. His fingertips rubbed ambiguously on her delicate lips, then slowly stood up and found a quiet place.
He lowered his head and lit a cigarette: "My banquet here is over soon. Do you want to pick you up on the way?"
"No, Mr. Lin, you should go with your beauty well."
Lin Er could hear the noise coming from him through the phone, and maybe he was flirting with some young model.
She casually picked a fruit box and signaled the clerk to wrap it up. She said disgustedly: "The perfume in your car is too strong. Every time I take the car, it will touch me all over and I can't wash it off."
"Okay, go back early, don't run around."
Lin Yian didn't insist anymore, but was always a little worried, and added another sentence, "I heard from Assistant Cui that the security in the urban area has not been very good recently, and there are many people rushing to get a lot of bags on the road. You have to be careful."
"..." Liner said, "It's okay, I don't bring my bag when I go out."
After hanging up the phone, Liner put his attention back on the cake in the display cabinet, glanced at the top three layers, and pointed to the cake on the top layer that looked like a photo printed on it and asked, "This is...?"
The clerk took the words enthusiastically: "This is the special digital cake of our store. It is to use a food printer to print your favorite photos onto the cake. It is edible and the photos are also edible colors."
This sounds pretty good.
Liner said, "Then make me another cake like this."
