Xin Zhai

When Australia enters summer, it is the end of the year again.

Ye Li came to Australia and kept in touch with her mother.During this period of time, Ye Qi wanted to volunteer, so he called him several times to discuss.Ye Li listened to his mother and didn't want Ye Qi to be too far away from home.Ye Qi himself didn't care.So the three of them discussed applying to a university in the province, and Ye Li chose a few majors for him.

In fact, he really hopes that his younger brother can go to farther places to see, the south, or a big city, and see the scenery and people that are different from his hometown.He went to University A, and later because of anger with Tong Yan and environmental pressure, he came to Australia by accident. Until now, he understands that what Tong Yan said is right, and he can grow up a lot by seeing something different. It can accommodate many people and things.

But he couldn't tell Ye Qi about these things in detail, so he just let him go.When brothers and sisters grow up, they are like two people who are completely connected by blood.

In addition to completing the things that Ye Li must do to go to school, the time spent on playing football and running has been reduced a lot in the past six months.He wants to go back next semester.The salary of being a tutor here is high, and he wants to earn more money here so that his senior year will not be so hard.

His mother didn't seem to have too many demands on his future. With Ye Qi guarding her, she would not ask herself to go back after graduation.From this point of view, having a younger brother is also a good thing.

However, his mother must firmly oppose the matter between him and Tong Yan.But Ye Li doesn't have the heart to think about these things now, his mind is full of going back to University A.Tong Yan will be teaching them next semester.He has been calling "Mr. Tong, Mr. Tong" for so long, and he has never seen Tong Yan standing on the podium giving a lecture.

"When will you be back? Next semester?"

"Well, the school filled out the intent form today, and has already applied for leaving school at the end of this semester."

"Why don't you discuss it with me?" Tong Yan scolded.

Ye Li asked back: "Are you unhappy?"

"Happy is happy, but a little sudden." Tong Yan said, "Then when will the plane come back?"

"I want to go to City Y the week before the Spring Festival... and then stay for two days and go back to my hometown."

In fact, Ye Li could take the plane directly to his hometown provincial capital, and spare City Y, of course, to meet Tong Yan.Unexpectedly, Tong Yan interrupted him and said, "Don't go back to your hometown."

"what?"

"During the Spring Festival, don't go back to your hometown." Tong Yan repeated.

Ever since he was a child, Ye Li has never been home during the Spring Festival.He said, "Then... how about that?"

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Come to me."

Ye Li thought for a while and said, "Then, how should I tell my mother?"

"Just tell her that there is an exam, or that the class is not over, and it is too late to go home."

Ye Li didn't ask him where "come to me" refers to, it may be his home, it may be Xinzhai, or some other place.He made up his mind not to go home after his teacher made up excuses to send the fuck away.

On the day Ye Li left Australia, David and Wang Xin insisted on going to the airport to see him off, but he couldn't help it, so he had to let the two of them follow.During this period of time, the weather was dry and hot, and even the grass beside the Swan River turned yellow.If you want to play football on the lush, wet, shiny grass, you have to wait until autumn again.

"Why are you leaving so soon? With your grades, you can stay here for half a year, or even do your final project here." Wang Xin was nagging all the way.He has good grades, and he likes being here for as long as he plans to stay.

"Now we have nothing to eat!" David said, "Can't let go of your teacher?"

Ye Li smiled embarrassedly.The matter between him and Tong Yan was not hidden from them.Circumstances do change people.Even students from mainland China seem to be able to accept many different ideas under the influence of people here.

"It's okay, we'll still have a chance to see you after graduation." David said again, "I'll come and play with you later!"

Ye Li patted him with a smile: "You keep your word! Bring your friend with you!"

"Good!" Every time David said the word "good", the pronunciation of the finals was very full, giving the impression that he was saying "good" very carefully and happily.

He exited the customs with some excitement and boarded the plane back home.The catering service provided by the plane was quite good. In addition to meals, he also drank a small bottle of red wine, ate two boxes of Haagen-Dazs, a cup of coffee, and some dried fruit snacks.

While scooping out the ice cream, he wondered if Tong Yan would laugh at him if he sat next to him, probably not.If he really laughed at him, he would tell him about the fact that Shi Jingchen bought watermelon when he had dinner with a few people in the dormitory during the military training and he was embarrassed to eat it.Of course, there are countless days of wandering in front of the cafeteria window. After he waved his flag, he often made a choice based on the price in the end.

While he's not quite out of it yet, it's getting better and he sees the end of it.

Ye Litu was cheap and bought a plane ticket that required two transfers.There are four or five hours between each connecting flight, and there is no place to rest.He was groggy by the third flight, but he couldn't sleep.

It finally landed in City Y at around seven o'clock in the evening.When getting off the plane, Ye Li went to the toilet and found that his eyes were blue and his hair was a mess.

But it was too late to regret. After half a year, his desire to have a good image when he met his teacher was shattered.

Ye Li pushed the box to the airport pick-up gate, Tong Yan stood at the exit and waved to him.To his surprise, Tong Yan was wearing casual clothes, a black down jacket and jeans.

"Are you tired?" Tong Yan took the cart smoothly, took his hand with the other hand, and squeezed it tightly.

"It's okay." Ye Li looked him up and down, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Tong Yan asked: "Isn't it pretty?"

"nice."

Tong Yan smiled, took his hand and walked towards the exit, "Didn't sleep for a while? It seems that you are not energetic."

"I didn't fall asleep, I seemed to have been eating on the plane, and I also ate two boxes of ice cream."

"It's all over his face." Tong Yan turned his head to look at his face, and wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, "Delicious?"

"Yeah, it's delicious." Ye Li also wiped the spot that Tong Yan had wiped just now, wondering why he didn't notice it when he looked in the mirror just now.

"Hehe, kid."

As soon as the two came out from the exit, the cold wind outside made Ye Li shiver.The queue for rent was extremely long, and Tong Yan put his hand in his pocket again and dragged him forward in the queue.There are two little boys in the family behind them, making a lot of noise, and the mother keeps yelling at the two troublemakers.

Tong Yan asked: "Have you told your mother that you can't go back?"

"Ah."

Tong Yan looked very happy, and asked: "How do you say it?"

"Don't ask." Ye Li suddenly felt embarrassed and said with his head down.

Tong Yan stretched out his other hand to pinch his face, but was slapped by Ye Li.He smiled and squeezed his other hand in his pocket.At this moment, I finally got the first one.A taxi drove over, and the two of them packed their luggage and got into the car.

Tong Yan reported the name of a community.Ye Li hadn't heard him mention it, and felt that it should be Tong Yan's own place.His palms were covered with sweat, and he felt that he had lied, committed a crime with Tong Yan, and even made enemies with his family.He suddenly remembered Cheng Luoyi saying that when she was young, she had no money in her pocket, yet she dared to elope with Chen Shan's father.

He took his hand from Tong Yan's and wiped sweat on his pants.

Tong Yan's home is a standard two-bedroom.A small light was on in the living room. It seemed that Tong Yan had come before and went out to pick him up later.

There are very few things in the whole house, and it looks like it is usually inhabited.

"Want something to eat? I don't have anything to cook here. I can order some takeaway."

"I'm not hungry. Have you eaten?"

Ye Li came to Tong Yan's place for the first time, looked around, and stood in the hallway, embarrassed to go in.

"I ate lunch late." Tong Yan hung up the clothes of the two of them, and found him a pair of slippers, "Go in, why are you standing here?"

Ye Li just walked in. In addition to the sofa, coffee table and TV, the living room has a large bookcase on the other side of the wall.Ye Li went straight to the front, and saw that there were everything from comic books from childhood to novels, textbooks, professional books, and English books.

"All the books from childhood to adulthood are here. My mother said she had no place to put them at home, so I moved them here." Tong Yan pulled his luggage in and said, "But I haven't read them again, and I don't usually read them. Come."

"Oh."

Ye Li stared at the books one by one, and found a book called "Research on Teacher Behavior".He was very curious and pulled it out.Before opening it, Tong Yan walked over and said, "Is it okay to live here during the Spring Festival?"

"Okay." Ye Li glanced at him, then lowered his head and turned to the catalog page. After reading a few words, the book was taken away by Tong Yan.

"See you tomorrow and go take a shower."

Ye Li turned around and went to get the pajamas from the box.His face was inexplicably hot.

He grabbed his clothes and hurried into the bathroom, took a few showers, and lathered a lot on his head and body.After a while his teacher is sure to do that with him.He scratched his head while thinking, at first, he expected Tong Yan to hug him, then kissed him, and then when Tong Yan touched him, he trembled with excitement.Up to now, I have done that thing naturally, as if only by doing that can I express my love.After doing that, he felt closer to his teacher than ever before, as if he trusted each other even more.Is this my illusion?

While he was studying the philosophical issues of mating under the shower, Tong Yan pushed the door open and entered.
