Goodbye Midsummer 2

The chirping of cicadas in summer is annoying.

When Shen Yi returned home with the ingredients from the supermarket, he felt that the sweltering weather would give him heatstroke sooner or later.

When I got home, I turned on the air conditioner for the first time, and then put the ingredients in the refrigerator.He looked up at the wall clock in the living room, it was three hours before dinner time, so he could take his time.

While sitting in the living room resting, the phone rang, and the caller ID was Xu Hao.

"Hey?"

"Shen Yi, are you home?" Xu Hao's voice was different from usual, and the volume was much lower.

He wondered: "I just got back, what's wrong?"

Xu Hao suddenly lowered her voice: "Is it convenient for Fang to accept refugees?"

He understood: "Are you arguing with Ye Zi again?"

"It's not a quarrel, it's just that my eldest baby is crying all day long. I can't stand it anymore. I want to find a quiet place to hide." While Xu Hao was speaking, Shen Yi heard a baby crying from the other end. Noisy sounds, and Ye Zi's gentle coaxing.

Xu Hao and Ye Zi have been married for two years, and Dabao was born half a year ago, which is a difficult time to take care of.Although Shen Yi felt quite sympathetic to Xu Hao, he had to say: "You think your eldest son is noisy, so you want to run out to take refuge. Why don't you think about how hard it is for Ye Zi to take care of the child alone?"

"Oh, I know, but it's—"

"Sorry, buddies, I want to reject your asylum application. Please be strong and shoulder the responsibility that a father should bear."

Xu Hao was still muttering reluctance, so Shen Yi could only say, "Do you think Ye Zi will suffer from postpartum depression?"

There was silence for a while, and finally said: "Okay. Let me be strong and take on the responsibility of a father. I really envy you, a single dog!"

Shen Yi was startled, and smiled wryly: "Well, I accept your envy."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yi continued to stay in the living room for a while, then got up to clean up.

Pushing aside Qin Yang's room, it hasn't been cleaned for a month, and a lot of dust has accumulated everywhere in the room.He first stuffed the sheets and quilt covers that hadn't been used for half a year into the washing machine, and then began to wipe the dust on the laundry cabinet and desk.

Just as he turned on the vacuum cleaner and was about to clean the corners, the mobile phone on the table rang again, indicating that there was a new email.

The title is: Graduation Ceremony Yesterday.

He clicked on the picture, and saw a handsome man wearing a bachelor's cap on the green grass, smiling and looking at the camera. Beside him was a bust of a great man.

Shen Yi looked at the man in the picture in a daze for a while, and then remembered that he should reply.

Kyoki graduation.

Miss you.

The sunlight outside the window gradually slanted westward, and Shen Yi was still immersed in cleaning.Considering the small space under the bed, it is difficult to clean, so Shen Yi decided to push the bed away first, and then restore it to its original position after sweeping.

After finally cleaning the place under the bed, when he was about to move the bed back, he suddenly remembered something.

I remember that many years ago, during cleaning on a whim, after he moved his bed away, he found a line of small, handwritten pencil words on the wall at the head of the bed.

He still clearly remembered how those lines of words were embedded in his heart at the beginning.

Can I like you?

Back then, Qin Yang's humble wish was engraved on a wall that was always covered by the head of the bed and would only be discovered by people when he didn't know when.

What now?

Shen Yi looked at Qin Yang's room, the removed bed, and the empty wall, with a smile on his lips.

Since the summer of his sophomore year, Qin Yang had to go back to China to live with Shen Yi for a period of time every time he had a holiday.

Aunt Xue complained about this, because he didn't even spend Christmas with her in the United States and insisted on returning home.She was so angry that she called Shen Yi and asked him if Qin Yang had a girlfriend in China.

Shen Yi also laughed awkwardly at the time, but he didn't know the specific situation.Aunt Xue couldn't ask any more questions, so she could only hang up the phone resentfully.Later, when Qin Yang returned to the United States, she repeatedly questioned him, and Qin Yang finally admitted that he did have someone he liked in China.

"Since there is someone you like, why hide it and bring her to the United States for fun so that I can meet her too." That's what Aunt Xue said at the time.

But Qin Yang only said: "When the time comes, I will tell you."

Now that her son said so, Aunt Xue had no choice but to give up and stop asking.

This summer, Qin Yang graduated from university. Aunt Xue asked him what his plans were, but he dug out a stack of materials, saying that he was going back to China and had already found several interested companies in China.

No need to ask, she also knows that this kid wants to go back to work because the person he likes is in China.

Although she feels reluctant to part with her son, she is not a narrow-minded person. She understands that his son has his own life after all. As a mother, she cannot control everything and can only let him go.

Just remind him again and again: Be sure to bring the person you like to see her.

At that time, Qin Yang just smiled, with a complicated expression on his face.

After the graduation ceremony, Qin Yang packed his luggage and left the student dormitory after finishing the necessary procedures.An hour later, he called his mother at the airport and said he was going home.

When Aunt Xue received her son's call, she really felt that her son was dazzled by love.In order to see each other earlier, they did not hesitate to run so busy, and ran non-stop to the airport right after the graduation ceremony.

"You like her that much?" She frowned and asked on the phone.

"Well, I really like it." The son replied shamelessly.

She sighed for a long time, and once again felt that "it's too big to stay": "Forget it, I don't care about you. You can decide your own affairs."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yang waited in the waiting room for boarding.He resisted the urge to send a message to Shen Yi, and secretly made up his mind to give him a surprise.

There are still 16 hours to see him.

The black suitcase rattled as it dragged across the gravel road.

Under the evening sky, a man familiarly walked around the garden of the community and walked into a building in the back.The elevator happened to open on the first floor, so he went in and pressed the number 5 button.

When the "ding dong" door rang again, the familiar house number came into view.

He didn't knock on the door, but gently took out the key and opened the door. The room was very quiet. He left his luggage in the porch, walked through the empty living room on tiptoe, and was about to go to Shen Yi's bedroom, but found that his room The door was ajar.

He quietly pushed open the door, and the sunset outside the window was gorgeous, and the afterglow of the setting sun gently shone on the floor, and also reflected on the face of the sleeping man on the bed, outlining his profile more beautifully.

Qin Yang gently squatted down in front of the bed, vaguely feeling that the position of the bed seemed to be a little different, he looked towards the head of the bed, and saw a few words written on the covered wall.

After careful identification, he realized that it was two words - "Yes".

can?

He thought for a while in doubt, and suddenly remembered that he had done similar things many years ago - on the wall beside Shen Yi's bed, he had written that line with a humble heart:

Can I like you?

Now, Shen also gave an answer:

can.

Although it is a simple word, it makes people feel warm in their hearts.

He looked back at Shen Yi's sleeping face, and his heart was unknowingly filled with love.

He reached out and stroked his lover's face.Under the sunset light, the man's eyelashes seemed to be covered with light.

"Shen Yi." Qin Yang called softly, and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes. In a daze, he saw a man squatting in front of him in the backlight of the setting sun, smiling softly at him.

"I am back."

The author has something to say: The story of Qin Yang and Shen Yi ends here.Even if no one chased after me, I still kept my original promise and gave them a definite ending.

If you are lucky enough to see this, I would also like to say thank you—thank you for reading my story.

So, goodbye!
