Ruan Xi got off the plane at eleven o'clock in the morning. He probably didn't expect that it would be Xi Yu who came to pick him up. He was a little dazed when he saw him, but it was just a momentary daze, and then he showed a faint smile: "Senior Brother .”

Xi Yu said: "Master's wife has a seminar today and asked me to pick you up."

Ruan Xi expressed understanding.

When they got home, Ruan Xili thanked Xi Yu thoughtfully and invited him into the house for a cup of tea.In fact, he was just being polite, Xi Yu probably wouldn't go in.

But Xi Yu actually nodded and said "OK".

Ruan Xi had no choice but to really pour him a cup of tea.He hadn't been home for a long time, and some of the furnishings had changed locations. He couldn't even find the tea leaves for a while, and it was Xi Yu who reminded him to find them.

I think Xi Yu has come here often over the years.

Ruan Xi poured good tea for Xi Yu, and said, "I'll pack my things first, and senior brother can do it himself."

Xi Yu is indeed no stranger to the Ruan family, and there is even a guest room reserved for him.

After Ruan Xi finished speaking, she turned and went upstairs, but she didn't see Xi Yufang's hidden eyes suddenly staring directly at his back—even if he saw it, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

From seeing Ruan Xi at the airport, all the way to Ruan's house, Xi Yu actually didn't dare to look directly at him, for fear of accidentally revealing something that shouldn't be revealed.Only now that Ruan Xi turned his back to him, he dared to stare at Ruan Xi like this—even if it was just a back view—he seemed to have lost some weight, and also grown a little taller. The size of a young man, his words and deeds are decent, which is what an adult should look like.

Xi Yu thought, he should be happy, isn't this exactly what he wants Ruan Xi to grow into?But he was still sad after all.

"Xiao Xi..."

"Huh?" Ruan Xi slightly turned her body and turned her head.

If Xi Yu would look at him squarely, he would find that Ruan Xi's sunken cheeks were not just a little thinner, and if he looked closely, he would find that Ruan Xi's expression was unnatural.

But he still didn't do it. He actually wanted to ask Ruan Xi how he was doing these years, whether he was used to studying abroad, whether he had made new friends, and how he was studying. Then he knew that all these greetings were in vain , so the words turned around in my stomach several times, and the exit became: "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. The teacher said to go out to eat in the evening, and I will pick you up in the evening."

"Ok."

Until Xi Yu went out, Ruan Xi was still standing at the stairs.It took a long time for him to move, he held his arm in a vain manner, turned around and took every step seriously when he stepped on the stairs.

Everything will pass.

it's already over.

it's already over.

Ruan Xi got on the plane in the early morning, because she thought about the people and things she would face when she returned home, she didn't sleep all night.In fact, it is almost normal for him to turn upside down day and night or even stay up for a long time, but now he feels extremely tired after packing up his things, and fell asleep after taking a shower.

He didn't even know that Professor Xu came back in the afternoon.

Professor Xu couldn't bear to wake him up seeing his son's tired expression.

So he fell asleep until six in the afternoon. If Professor Xu hadn't woken him up, he might have continued to sleep.

When he just opened his eyes, he was not so clear-headed, thinking that he was still in a rented house in London, and subconsciously fumbled for his mobile phone on the bedside table. After fumbling for a while, he got the mobile phone, without touching other familiar things such as medicine bottles. Only then did he realize that he was going home.

Then he saw Professor Xu at the side, and he called out softly: "Mom."

Professor Xu patted his head lovingly: "Get up, and your elder brother Xi will come later."

That's when Ruan Xi recalled that she had agreed to go out to eat at night, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mom, I went to bed late."

Professor Xu and her husband only had such a son when they were 40 years old. They have always been pampered. It makes people feel more distressed.

"Are you tired? Get up first, go out to eat, and then go back to sleep." Professor Xu went out after finishing speaking.

Ruan Xi's anemia, coupled with the effects of drugs in recent years, often felt dizzy after waking up, and he sat on the bed for a while before recovering.

Xi Yu arrived at Ruan's house before seven o'clock, picked up the mother and son and went to a restaurant that Ruan Xi liked very much before.Xi Yu had brought him to this restaurant many times, and he came here again after four years. Ruan Xi pretended to glance at Xi Yu inadvertently, and saw him handing the menu to Professor Xu's side face with a calm expression. He didn't even have the slightest feeling I dare not have it.

Xi Yu remembered that Ruan Xi used to like to eat the fried small yellow croaker from this restaurant, and habitually gave him what he wanted to eat with chopsticks. Ruan Xi took it without pretense, but the joy and complacency of the past was no longer on his face. , Xi Yu felt quite uncomfortable for a while.

Professor Xu is knowledgeable and talkative. Xi Yu has studied with Professor Xu and his wife for a long time. He is their proud disciple and they have many academic topics in common.Ruan Xi used to be very annoyed by them discussing these academic issues at the dinner table, but this time she did not show any signs of impatience.Ruan Xi was willing to coax her mother to be happy, and occasionally interjected a few words when the two were talking, and also said something about her abroad.

There are three people at a table, and the two of them have their own ghosts, but they are willing to maintain the atmosphere, and the meal is enjoyable.

Ruan Xi didn't eat much of the food that he used to like very much. When he finished eating, not only Xi Yu who had been secretly observing him, but even Professor Xu noticed it.

Ruan Xi: "Maybe I just woke up and have no appetite."

When I got home, Professor Xu was still nagging that Ruan Xi had lost a lot of weight, and he needed to make up for him when I got home. Seeing that Ruan Xi was not very interested, he stopped talking, and started discussing with Xi Yu what was going on at the dinner table. Unfinished subject.

It took only a few minutes, but Ruan Xi didn't interrupt. Xi Yu turned his head and saw that Ruan Xi had fallen asleep curled up on the passenger seat. temperature.

Xi Yu guessed that Ruan Xi was too tired, so she fell asleep at home again.

Professor Xu was in a very good mood today, and invited Xi Yu to stay overnight.She thought that Ruan Xi and Xi Yu had a very good relationship before, and since they haven't seen each other for so long, they have many days to talk.

Xi Yu thought about it, and then stayed.

He stayed at Ruan's house for more than half a year when he was in college. He had no father or mother. Professor Xu and his wife almost regarded him as their son, and the room reserved for him was next to Ruan Xi.Later, he bought a house by himself, and when Professor Xu and his wife invited him to stay overnight, he readily agreed.It's just that since Ruan Xi went abroad, he never stayed here again.

It was bound to be a sleepless night.

Xi Yu was a little irritable lying on the bed. An hour ago, he was wondering if Ruan Xi was tossing and turning too, but now he has been verified: the toilet next door has been beeping several times.

Xi Yu had warned himself countless times not to show too much attention to Ruan Xi, but this time he still failed. He said to himself: This is the care a senior brother should have for a junior brother, and it doesn't count as crossing the line.

So he stood at Ruan Xi's door.

"Senior brother?" Ruan Xi was wearing a loose pajamas, revealing half of his protruding collarbone loosely. His face was not sleepy at all, and even his sunken eyes were shining brightly because of his thinness.

Xi Yu withdrew his eyes that were about to reveal distressed emotions: "I heard your bathroom beeping all the time, what's wrong?"

Ruan Xi's face froze, and she smiled a little: "Probably the water and soil are not acclimatized, and my stomach is not feeling well."
