Xin Zhai

When I woke up the next day, it was cloudy, like it was raining.Both of them got up late.

"Is there any class today?" Tong Yan asked.

Ye Li sat up with a grunt, his hair was pressed into a strange shape.

"Yes, but I don't want to go."

"Oh. Then go out for a stroll."

The two of them took a shower and went out.The air outside is cold and fresh, with the smell of earth and grass mixed, which makes people feel refreshed.The rain was very thin, and it seemed to be nothing. After walking for a while, I found that the shoulders of the clothes had become wet.A Jinpu peach tree is in full bloom on the side of the road.

When passing by the small supermarket, Tong Yan bought another hot dog for breakfast.

Ye Li said while eating: "Today is the first time I have skipped class since school!"

Tong Yan smiled, this week was the first time he had asked for leave for a personal matter since he went to work.It was summer vacation when he decided to come to Australia, but it took two weeks to apply for a visa, and when he finally booked his ticket, school had already started.

So he didn't come on a whim, it was a deliberate decision to come here.

When I got to the station, a bus happened to come.Ye Li trotted two steps and shouted, "Get in the car."

The two ran into the car one after the other and sat down side by side.Before the hot dogs are over, the downtown shopping district is here.

It's working time, and there are still not many people on the side of the road. They have different skin types, different hair colors, and even walk in different ways.

The two walked side by side on the road.Two yellow-haired girls approached, one of them was smoking a cigarette and wearing two big earrings, and the other was holding her arm.

Ye Li suddenly felt that he should have some more intimate actions with Tong Yan.

So he touched Tong Yan's hand when he swung his arm.Tong Yan pursed his lips and smiled at him, grabbed his hand behind his back, held it in the palm of his hand, and then put it in his coat pocket.

Very warm in the pocket.Ye Li interlocked his fingers for a while, scratched in his palm for a while, and was held tightly by him for a while.After playing this pediatric game for a long time, Ye Li didn't know which block he had reached, but felt that for the first time in his life, he was submerged in the sea of ​​people leisurely.

This shopping area mostly sells clothes, bags, cosmeceuticals, and shoes.Neither of them was very interested, so they walked around and finally came to a stationery store.There are not many people inside, and there are several large rows of shelves for watercolor pens alone.Tong Yan picked out a dark blue hardcover for him.After paying the money, the sun came out, and the dark red square bricks on the road reflected the water.

Further forward is a square, surrounded by a city museum, an art gallery, and on the other side is the city library.

"Sit here for a while." Tong Yan pointed to the bench by the square and said.

"it is good."

On the other side of the square, a long-haired boy was singing with a guitar in his arms. A hurried girl walked over, bent down and threw him a handful of change.

"When will you go back?" Ye Li asked.

"next Tuesday."

"Oh," Ye Li changed his posture and asked again, "How many classes are you taking this semester?"

"It's still those two doors."

"Oh," Ye Li suddenly missed the Department of Automation, "How are the students in the class?"

Tong Yan took one of his hands, put it on his lap, put it between his own hands, and said, "Okay."

"Where are the brothers and sisters?"

"Alright." Tong Yan smiled, "Lin Li found a boyfriend."

"Ah? Who is it?"

"It is said that he is a graduate student in the Department of Electronics, and he is also in Maxie. It seems that his surname is Liu." Tong Yan said, "I heard what Yang Ziyue said, and when I asked her later, she was too embarrassed to tell me."

"Ah, Liu Rui?" Ye Li was very surprised, "Don't you know the famous sports student in our school? He is 1 meters tall and can score 88 hours in the marathon. He is still on the school basketball team. It is said that the 3 meters is 11 seconds. .”

He talked for a while, seeing that Tong Yan didn't respond, he asked, "I don't know you?"

"I don't know." Tong Yan shook his head.

Ye Li sighed: "Forget it, anyway, you just need to know that he is very powerful and handsome. Hehe, Senior Sister is even more powerful."

Seeing his nympho look, Tong Yan patted his head vigorously: "What do you think about with your head all day long?"

Ye Li covered his head and was about to speak when he saw four or five thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys coming to the square, all on skateboards, slid down the steps of the library.The leader wore a peaked cap, led a group of people dodging from left to right, passed through the crowd, and headed there towards the setting sun.

Tong Yan also stared at the direction where those people disappeared, and asked, "Do you want to stay here in the future, or go back?"

At this time, the boy playing the guitar sang again, and an old couple stood in front of him, holding hands and listening to him sing.

"I want to follow you." Ye Li said.

Tong Yan saw that he didn't look at himself, but just stared at the boy with the guitar. He flattened his hand on his palm, rubbed it up and down, and said, "If you want to be here, there is a way."

Ye Li turned his head: "What do you mean?"

"I can apply for a postdoc here, but it will take some time."

Ye Li reacted for a few seconds and said, "Then you have done so many years of work in school for nothing? No."

"Everywhere is a job, it's all the same."

"It's different, your career is developing so well now, you can't give up halfway."

Tong Yan didn't speak, took Ye Li's hand to his lips, and kissed the back of his hand.Ye Li leaned forward and said, "I can be anywhere, it's better to go back, after all, my family is here. Going back... I'm not afraid of going back."

After he finished speaking, he waited for Tong Yan to answer, but he still kept silent, let go of his hand, but pressed it to his mouth to kiss him.He pushed Tong Yan's shoulder and asked, "Are you afraid?"

More than half a year ago, this same young man who was fearless asked him in his heart if he was afraid.

Tong Yan thought, what has he been afraid of?

Mutual attraction with a soul, intermingling with a body, and this soul and body happen to be one person!Why should he be afraid?It doesn't matter if he is his student or not, how old he is, whether he is male or female.Regardless of whether he will be weak in the future, or whether it will last forever, whether he is happy or sad when he gets old!

As long as such a person appears, at this moment, he should not be allowed to go. Letting him go is a crime, the biggest crime in the world!

"Don't be afraid," he said.

Ye Li let go of his hands in relief, and Tong Yan leaned over to kiss his student.

The skateboard boys came over again, and the one in the peaked cap blew a clear whistle next to them.Tong Yan half-opened his eyes, and saw that the child was smiling at him with raised eyebrows.Then in a flash, a group of people disappeared into the golden sunset.

The weather was fine for the next few days, and the two of them wandered casually in several nearby places, and the time passed in a flash.

When Tong Yan left, Ye Li happened to have a class, so he didn't go to see him off. In fact, he didn't want to go on purpose.Tong Yan smiled and said "OK", and then said "I will come to see you in the future".

Even though he said that, Ye Li was still vaguely worried, afraid that life would be the same as before.

More than ten hours later, in the early morning, he received a call from Tong Yan in bed.

"Landed, the plane in front was delayed, and stayed at Kuala Lumpur Airport for several hours when connecting."

"Oh, I also said that you have no news." Ye Li lay on the quilt, talking to him with his eyes closed.

"I'm also in a hurry." Tong Yan was quite noisy there, so he should still be at the airport.

"Did you sleep at night?" Ye Li asked.

"Slept for a while." Tong Yan was pulling the box out of the customs at the moment. There were many people around, but no one paid attention to him.He looked around and whispered, "I miss you."

There was only the sound of Ye Li's breathing on the other end of the phone.

Tong Yan waited for a while and asked, "Ye Li?"

"what?"

"Did you wake up?" he asked.

"Wake up." Ye Li's voice was thick with sleepiness, sticky, "I miss you too."

Holding the phone, Tong Yan walked forward quickly.He remembered that in the past, Cheng Mingming always said he missed him on the phone, and asked him if he missed him, but he even forgot how he answered.Has there never been any feedback, saying "miss you"?Otherwise, why are you so embarrassed to say these two simple words now?It seems that I have never expressed my emotions, and I don't know how to express them. I really need to change it.

People say that falling in love can make people grow up, learn to be selfless and tolerant, and understand many things. On the seventh day of his formal relationship with his student, Tong Yan discovered that according to this standard, he had never been in love before, never Pass.
