happy event in pairs

"We don't meet each other in life, and we move like participating in business. Tonight and tomorrow, let's share this candlelight."

This year's Christmas, "Xiao Zonggong's Harem" gathered in Yang Wanxi's apartment in the urban area of ​​Baltimore. Si Ke was missing, and Dong Xishuang was added. The same six people, but three couples changed.

After a night of trouble, everyone was exhausted and fell asleep.Xiao Jun and Dong Xishuang sat on the carpet in the living room downstairs, looking at the snow through the window.

The lights in the room were not turned on, only the five-color lights wrapped around the Christmas tree beside him slowly turned on and off.

Xiao Shuang leaned against Xiao Jun's arms and enjoyed the rare tranquility, the two of them intertwined their fingers, Xiao Jun rested his chin on Xiao Jun's shoulders, and read these two poems in his ear.

Dong Xishuang didn't make a sound, just turned his head, and the two exchanged a shallow and warm kiss.

In fact, Xiao Jun came here not only for Christmas, Xiao Shuang also knew it, but they had been deadlocked over this matter for a while, and no one could convince the other.

In order not to spoil the rare reunion, they temporarily ignored each other.

Before Dong Xishuang came to exchange, Xiao Jun and his friends were a little worried, worried that he would be in a completely unfamiliar environment, the language is not very good, and Xiao Jun's self-care ability is worrying because of being spoiled by Xiao Jun...

Even he himself is not uneasy.

It's just that they forget that the most important thing Dong Xishuang lacks is the strength of the axis. If he is strong, he will be strong. Potential is like a treasure.

The first half of the year was a bit bad, there were too many things to learn, language was the biggest obstacle, and it took a lot more time than others, and he didn’t even have time to contact Xiao Jun. In the library, I stayed up all night reading books and checking materials in front of the classroom recordings.Xiao Jun didn't bother him, he cleaned the room and washed clothes in the apartment, went to the supermarket to buy fruits, snacks and daily necessities, and made semi-finished meals and frozen them in the refrigerator, so that he could eat them as soon as they were warmed up.

Dong Xishuang came back with a sleepy face and fell asleep after eating, not to mention being intimate, he couldn't even say a word.

But only half a year.Half a year later, he found the rhythm completely, got in touch with the field he liked, and plunged into it like a duck to water.

Unlike those top students from upper-class or middle-class families, he has an unconscious sense of superiority in his bones, and he also has a lot of utilitarian considerations in social life, so it is inevitable to be xenophobic or have a purposeful "grouping".But it is not like the traditional "poor family noble son", without the inferiority and conceit of "Phoenix".

He has no obsession with material things, and has no concept of money.The way of consumption is confusing: wearing discounted sneakers worth 15 dollars bought in a sports supermarket, going to the cafeteria to wait in line for free pizza every day, but taking out a notebook that is customized by aliens, and a thin diamond on the wrist shows that people can see You can recognize it as a limited edition of a famous brand at a glance, and it is so expensive that it is scary.

He has a pure character and looks good at everyone. He neither considers himself more expensive than others nor underestimates himself.When I first came here, my pronunciation was terrible and my mouth was full of grammatical errors, but I was never shy to express myself. I kept talking to the professor for a long time, even making gestures and guessing. Growth is also rapid.

He is very adaptable to JHU's super free teaching method with a strong research atmosphere. His GPA has been rising all the way, and he has participated in several projects at the same time. Unknowingly, he has become famous in Whiting.Among the international students, there is a rumor that he is "the cruel Mini brother, who doesn't talk much." Everyone likes to be in a group with him, because he is like a mascot. With him in the group, the experiment always goes much smoother.

As Xiao Jun said, "One year is not long".It's hard to get used to it, and the one-year period is almost here.

Before Christmas, the school had a talk with him and brought his physics professor to appreciate his solid foundation and "unrestrained spirituality" in thinking about problems, and wanted to keep him.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, saying that he needed some time to think about it. After he came back, he didn't tell anyone. He suffered from insomnia in silence for a few days, and ran to refuse.

Liu Zhiheng disclosed the news to Xiao Jun.

A year ago, Dong Xishuang came to the United States. As soon as he landed, he ran to the city hall to register and became a married man. Liu Zhiheng was surprised, a little disappointed and a little envious, but more of admiration. His principle was never to touch He has an owner, so he cut off the budding favor in time and returned to the position of "senior brother".

Regardless of his reasoning, Xiao Jun still thanked him sincerely.

He called Xiaoshuang to ask him why he didn't accept such a good opportunity, and the two quarreled for the first time on the phone.

Dong Xishuang wanted to follow the agreement and return to China after one year of exchange.He misses Xiao Jun too much, and loves him too much.

Xiao Jun came here very frequently, except for holidays, he would fly at least once a month on weekdays.

In his junior year, his own classes are also very tight. The two companies in his hand are both developing, and there are many things to do.Several times Xiao Shuang woke up in the middle of the night and found that he was working on the computer with his forehead squinted, looking tired.

Xiao Shuang dragged him to bed, but he said forget it, anyway, there are only a few hours left to fly back, so it is better to sleep on the plane.

In Dong Xishuang's heart, no matter how good the opportunity is, it is better to go to Xiao Jun. He likes it here, but compared with Xiao Jun, nothing is important. Isn't it all about learning wherever you go, as long as you have books to read when you go back. ah.

Xiao Jun disagreed.How many exchange students dream of getting the opportunity, his sweet baby got it with his talent and hard work, how can he give up?

The two chattered in a hurry, Xiao Jun said that the degree here should not be given up, and he directly applied to study business, anyway, there is no difference.Dong Xishuang was so angry that he hung up the phone, and called back after a while, crying:

"Why waste three years in vain? Isn't your time precious? Isn't your studies important? I don't want you to sacrifice every time. It's not just you who love me and love me, I love you too , I miss you even more!"

Speaking of this matter, there is no quarrel anymore, taking advantage of the Christmas holiday, Xiao Jun flew over to appease his baby.

Dong Xishuang played with Xiao Jun's fingers, remembering that there was a sentence after these two lines of poems, "How long can a young man last, and his temples are all gray", he couldn't help feeling sour, and said in a low voice: "I don't like this poem."

Xiao Jun hugged him and shook him, and said softly: "I know, what you like is, 'Why cut the candles in the west window together, but talk about the rainy night in Bashan'."

Dong Xishuang turned around in surprise: "How did you know that!"

Xiao Jun looked at his round and bright eyes, and his heart was filled with tender love.

It's amazing.There is such a person in this world, you can deeply understand what "happiness" is just by looking at him.

"It's the first time in my life that I feel this way." Xiao Jun said ecstatically.

"How does it feel?" Xiao Shuang asked.

"Not afraid."

Dong Xishuang didn't understand: "Aren't you afraid? What are you not afraid of?"

"Not afraid of the two places, not afraid of lovesickness, not afraid of anything."

Dong Xishuang saw him going around and back to this topic, pouted a little unhappy: "Were you afraid before?"

Xiao Jun nodded: "I used to be afraid that you would cry, that you would get sick, and that you would miss me."

"Aren't you afraid now?"

"En." Xiao Jun held his chin and kissed his pouty lips.

"My sweet baby has grown up, and I am very proud of your performance this year."

Dong Xishuang was overjoyed at being praised, and could barely hold the angry expression on his face.

"It's not that big. I still cry, get sick, and miss you. What should I do?"

Xiao Jun said seriously: "Then I will give you another year. I will only come to see you this year, can you go back and see me?"

Dong Xishuang was still unhappy, and muttered sullenly: "It's been a good year..."

"Who said that?" Xiao Jun pinched one of his fingers to touch the ring on his ring finger.

"We agreed that it was for a lifetime."

Finally, the two took a step back, and Dong Xishuang agreed to Xiao Jun to accept the academy's retention on the condition that Xiao Jun would not be allowed to fly over within one year.

This year, as they agreed, Dong Xishuang was not in charge of being a trapezeman. He took a minor and a few research courses, and he was very busy.But Xiao Jun didn't come over as frequently as last year.They made an appointment to report each other's itinerary every day, just like Xiao Shuang did back then.And set a fixed video call time, no matter how busy you are, you have to make a video call on weekends, call anytime if you need to make a decision, and send an email when you want to talk about love but are afraid of disturbing the rest of the other party...

This day is the regular video day for the two of them. In recent days, Xiao Shuang has been relatively silent on WeChat, so Xiao Jun got up early in the morning to go for a run, took a shower and turned on the computer to wait for him.

He stared at his watch, clicked to call when the time came, and it took a while for Xiao Shuang to connect.

"Brother Xiao." Xiao Shuang's hair was also wet, and with a white towel around her neck, she smiled at the camera with the corners of her mouth pulled.

His expression was wrong, and his voice was an octave lower than usual.Xiao Jun frowned imperceptibly, and asked calmly:

"Why did you take a shower so early today? Have you had dinner? What did you eat?"

"Hmm..." Dong Xi swayed his eyes from side to side without looking in front of him, "Eat...the Mexican food..."

The smile on his face was so far-fetched, the corners of his eyes were still a little red, alarm bells were ringing in Xiao Jun's heart, besides himself, there was actually someone else who could make him show such a shocked expression.

Dong Xishuang did go to eat Taco tonight, but he didn't eat it by himself, and before he had time to eat it, he was poured a cup of iced coffee in the face.The cotton gauze white T-shirt he likes instantly soaked up the cold liquid and stuck to his body. The person who poured him dropped the glass and sneered and left, leaving him alone to face the waiter's exclamation. , I can't figure out what I did wrong and why I was treated so rudely.

Things have to start two months ago.

JHU is famous for having a large number of Chinese people. European and American students often hold simple parties, mainly for socializing, while overseas Chinese students are famous for having dinner parties, and each bring one or two hometown dishes, or simply go to Greater China to buy a la carte meat shabu-shabu hot pot , the host provides the venue and prepares drinks. Everyone mainly eats, and by the way, listen to the local accent, gossip and anecdotes from the academic circle.

At the end of the month, Xiaoshuang went to a dinner party organized by a familiar friend in the downstream laboratory, and met two new Taiwanese boys.

The taller one studies materials, is cheerful and talkative, and can have a few words on any topic.The shorter one was pale and gloomy, stuck to each other's side from beginning to end, seemed nervous, didn't eat much, didn't say a few words, only knew that he was studying music education.

Dong Xishuang ate less seriously than usual tonight.Because the tall man kept talking to him.And when he spoke, Xiao Shuang couldn't help but want to laugh—his native dialect was notoriously tough, and even a gentle girl would feel like a quarrel when she spoke it.Taiwanese dialect is famous for its babbling, and he couldn't hold back when he saw a tall, strong, muscular boy dragging his ending sounds like a baby.Feeling impolite, he held back his laughter, but the smile on his face was not hidden.

What he brought tonight was the small shrimp wontons that Xiao Jun had packed and frozen in the refrigerator last time. The boy's eyes lit up after eating one, and he looked him up and down and said, "Wow, this is you. Did you make it yourself? It tastes so good!"

Dong Xishuang couldn't help laughing until his stomach was shaking, so he nodded indiscriminately.

He has always been nervous, and he didn't notice the other boy staring at him blankly, nor did he notice the subtle exchange of glances and the atmosphere of looking at each other.

In fact, he is still very popular in the circle because of his small stature, which is easy to satisfy the desire for protection among Asians.Cute, but not girly.Serious enough to be a little dazed, but not the nerd kind.Europeans and Americans like him slender and white and tender. He wears short-sleeved shorts in summer, and there is no hair on his body. He is as sweet and slippery as a milk pudding.

When he was doing the experiment, his expression was so focused that it was a bit cold, otherwise he wouldn't have the title of "cruel", but when he talked to people, he always smiled, with curved eyebrows and two dimples, which contrasted cutely.

I don’t know who started it, replacing his English name Milton and calling him Mini. Everyone seems to think that Mini is more in line with his temperament, so it quickly spread. The whole day, Mini is long and Mini is short, and even he himself is used to it.

On the one hand, when he was not enlightened, he dressed like an outdated antique. Regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, no one had ever expressed a "special" affection for him. After finally going to university, he became enlightened, and was immediately attracted by Xiao Jun. Wrapped in your arms and protected it densely, coupled with the natural thick nerves, it is like an insulator, no matter how strong the current is thrown at you, you will not feel it.

On the other hand, everyone knows that he is married, and he was registered when he first came to the United States, and he has a very good relationship with his partner.

Because what he talks about most every day is: Myhusband this, Myhusband that.

"My hus band said..."

"My husband did..."

"My husband thinks..."

The few people who were close to him couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard him say "Myhusband", saying that he was like a little wolf dog in the laboratory, but when he mentioned his husband, he became a little milk dog in seconds. pug.

It was the first time to encounter such a persistent and fiery pursuit.

The tall Taiwanese boy asked him to have coffee and lunch every three days, asked him what class he wanted to take next semester, and even invited him to watch a movie alone.

It's a pity that Dong Xishuang, the insulator, didn't receive all kinds of hints and teasing from the other party at all. He just felt that the other party was a bit talkative, and he did things circuitously and procrastinated without purpose. Otherwise, why have we eaten together so many times and still haven't figured out what the other party wants from me? What are you doing?

One night when he came out of the laboratory building, he turned a corner and ran into a tall man and a gloomy man who were arguing at the corner.

He was still thinking about the experimental data just now, and he didn't hear what they were arguing about. He was stunned for a moment and felt that it was not easy to participate, so he hurriedly apologized and turned around to try to walk around.

Unexpectedly, the tall man ran over excitedly and grabbed him, saying:

"Mini, don't get me wrong, listen to my explanation, okay?"

Dong Xishuang was dumbfounded: "Excuse... explain what?"

The tall man raked his hair irritably, sighed for a long time and said:

"Please give me a little more time, and I will go to you after I solve it."

Dong Xishuang was at a loss as he watched the two dragging away, still wondering: What is the explanation and what is the solution? Is there something wrong with the language system of the Taiwan compatriots?Or have I spoken English for too long, and my Chinese ability has deteriorated?

He completely forgot about it in a blink of an eye, but he didn't expect the gloomy man to find him a few days later and said he wanted to invite him to dinner.

Dong Xishuang's social system is very simple: everyone is a good person, and everyone is a friend.His circle is usually filled with Whiting's people, and he felt very longed for and honored that Peabody suddenly came, but he didn't know that after sitting down, the other party gave him a coffee bath without saying a few words.

Dong Xishuang has never received such straightforward malice in his life until he was 20 years old, and he was hit hard.

"Brother Xiao, did I do something wrong and offend him?"

Xiao Jun was furious in his heart, but on the surface he still had to remain calm: "From your description, I don't think you did anything wrong."

Xiao Shuang sighed, still depressed: "I was too careless, maybe I offended him unintentionally..."

Xiao Jun took a breath and changed the subject: "Baby, I received a good news today. Do you want to hear it?"

Sure enough, Xiao Shuang was distracted: "What news, you have to listen!"

Xiao Jun held up his phone to show him the screenshot.

"JHU Carey Business School?" Dong Xishuang read the signature and stood up abruptly.

"Did you get Carey's offer?? Did you really get it? Are you coming?"

"Yeah." The child whom he treasured like pearls and treasures in his heart actually suffered such a big grievance, Xiao Jun quickly adjusted the plan in his heart, "I decided not to wait for the graduation ceremony, and go there next month."

Dong Xishuang stood there in a daze for a moment, feeling like he was dreaming, what burrito, what iced coffee, all forgotten to the sky, he jumped up and down on the carpet in the living room like a mad rabbit, and finally flung himself on the sofa motionless, crying It flowed out slowly.

A month later.

Xiao Jun and Dong Xishuang successfully met at BWI Airport, ending their two-year long-distance relationship.

According to the agreement with his family, Luo Xingqi will return to China to reunite with Luyu immediately after obtaining a degree abroad.

Before leaving, he flew over to meet Xiao Jun and Xiao Shuang.

"I heard that you threw three cups of coffee and expelled a student from the Conservatory of Music when you came here? What's going on?"

Luo Xingqi didn't even have time to say hello when he saw Xiao Jun, so he couldn't help gossip first.

Xiao Jun smiled coldly: "It's nothing, just teach him how to behave for his parents."

Luo Xingqi was speechless: "The aura of the general attack is too strong, I'm a little scared."

He looked at Xiao Jun's calm expression while driving seriously, and said with a little emotion: "At first, I thought I could finally return to China, and we could be together again, what happened, you didn't come when I came, and you fell when I left. Are you sincerely hiding from me?"

Xiao Jun smiled, and his heart was calm: "I have been with you for more than ten years, aren't you annoying?"

Luo Xingqi was stunned: "Obviously I followed you—"

He frowned: "You suddenly decided not to go abroad because you bothered me?"

Xiao Jun looked back at him with a smile, shook his head helplessly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really a blessing to be a fool who knows nothing."

"No, tell me clearly, why do I annoy you, huh?" Luo Xingqi still asked reluctantly.

Xiao Jun parked the car under the apartment building, lifted his chin out of the car window, and interrupted him: "Someone is here to pick you up, don't hurry up."

Luo Xingqi looked back and saw Xiao Shuang, his eyes lit up immediately, and he ran down and grabbed him to ruffle his hair, and the two of them chased each other and started fighting in front of the apartment building.

June in Baltimore is at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the sky is blue, someone is weeding the lawn next to it, and the scent of green grass is blowing in the wind.

"Brother Xiao!" Xiao Shuang called.

Xiao Jun turned his head, Xiao Bibing ran while laughing, and poked his head towards him, making him embrace him.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Dong Xishuang: Brother Xiao, why do they call you coffeeman?

Xiao Jun: Of course I make good coffee, otherwise what do you think?
