Solitary

Before the departmental activities started at night, He Jiqing sent Lin Shu to the school.Before getting out of the car, Lin Shu took the initiative to kiss him again.He Jiqing said: "If you do this again, I won't let you go."

Lin Shu smiled embarrassedly and got out of the car. He asked He Jiqing to go first, because casual parking was not allowed at the school gate.He Jiqing turned the car around and drove away slowly. Lin Shu in the rearview mirror stood still and watched him leave.He remembered last night, the boy was lying in his arms, the whole body was blushing when he teased him.He asked the boy: "Is this your first time?"

The boy covered his face and said yes.He pulled the boy's hand away again, looked into the boy's lustful eyes and asked, "Is this the first time you're in love?"

The boy nodded slightly.So, is it so bold?He Jiqing looked at the smaller and smaller figures in the rearview mirror, and couldn't believe that he had such good luck to make such a clean and beautiful boy fall in love with him without hesitation.

Lin Shu was sitting in the auditorium, and the dean on the stage was talking something, with a loud voice, and every word fell into his ears, but he couldn't understand the meaning.Of the three roommates sitting in front of him, one was dozing off, and the other two were playing Glory of Kings with their earphones plugged in.The girl on his left was reading comics on her mobile phone, and the male student on his right was doing postgraduate exam questions.As for him, he was thinking about what happened in the past two days, and every scene was filled with the filters of old movies from the 80s, as if he was dreaming.

The good memories needed for the rest of his life have already begun. He once thought that he would be very happy, but the fact is that he is sad, the kind who is so sad that he can't help crying.

The roommate who dozed off suddenly turned around and saw Lin Shu with tears streaming down his face. He was startled, and asked him softly, gesturing, "What's wrong?"

Lin Shu quickly lowered his head and wiped away the tears on his face, but more and more.It was less than two hours after they separated, and he was already missing He Jiqing crazily.

After the meeting, Lin Shu originally wanted to call He Jiqing, but first received a call from home.

Mother Li Hua asked the question she had asked a hundred times on the phone again: "How is your preparation for the exam?"

The Hokkien dialect of Dongshan Island is different from the Hokkien dialect of the Quanzhou family, and the tone is hard, similar to the Shantou dialect on the other side.Li Hua speaks faster than ordinary people, without the softness of Hokkien at all.

Lin Shu said, "That's it."

"Just like that?! You child, every time I ask you, you always look like this." Li Hua raised his voice, she didn't like his answer, it was too perfunctory.

"You have to work harder, you know? I have nothing to do with your father, but you can pass the No.1 and No.2 exams without any relationship. I asked, this exam is not difficult, you must do more questions And that civil servant exam training, have you taken it yet?" Li Hua talked a lot.

Lin Shu has gone to two sessions, the teacher is too excited, he is not used to it.

Before he could answer, Li Hua started to say again: "Your father said, when you pass the civil service exam, I will buy you a car to make commuting easier. Your father and I visited the blue harbor community. It’s good, but there are no vacancies. But the agent said that someone will sell the house after a while. I will get you a house at that time, and you will have a house when you get married. If there is no Blue Harbor, then you can only go to XJTLU But your father and I don't like XJTLU, it's too far away, we think it's better to buy another set in Tongling..."

"I still have class later, so I won't tell you." Lin Shu interrupted Li Hua, and hung up the phone without saying goodbye.If he didn't interrupt her, she would continue talking, from buying a house to getting married, from getting married to having children.His parents had already made plans for his future.Obviously it was his life, but they were planning it.They never asked him, what do you like, what do you want, what are your plans for the future.But even if they asked, he wouldn't tell the truth.

He is the only child in his family. He heard that his mother had conceived two children before, but they had miscarriages due to physical reasons before they were born.He was born prematurely and almost died.After giving birth to him, the mother can no longer reproduce.What his parents said to him the most since he was a child is: "We are old and only you are the only one!" He is destined to return to that small island surrounded by the sea, to return to his parents, they need him.In his future, there is no himself.

When I got back to the dormitory, my roommates were not there. I found out after reading WeChat that the three of them went to eat hot pot with the people in the next dormitory. I asked him, but he didn't call back.He was glad that his roommates were not there, because he was afraid of being asked why you were crying just now.He turned on the computer and worked on the civil servant test questions for a while, even if he didn't want to, he had to work hard.

After the test questions were finished, the roommates hadn't come back yet, so He Jiqing sent a WeChat first: "Is the activity over?"

He replied: "It's over."

"I just finished writing some manuscripts." He Jiqing said.

He returned a smiley face.

"Are you coming over tomorrow?" He Jiqing asked.

He wanted to pass it very much, and now he wants to pass it, but finally replied: "Not tomorrow, there is a class." There is a surprise class for civil service examinations, a class costs [-] yuan, and the teacher's lectures are exciting but very detailed.

"Let's have dinner together that night?" He Jiqing asked again.

"Okay." He replied.

But the next day, the two of them didn't have dinner together because He Jiqing had something to do and was going to Shanghai.Before going, he called Lin Shu to apologize.

Lin Shu said, "It's okay, work is more important."

"I'll probably be back tomorrow. I'll go and have hot pot with you." He Jiqing said.

Lin Shu said, "OK."

Another day later, He Jiqing didn't come back either, he was stuck in Shanghai due to his sudden job.It was a week in a blink of an eye.

As for Lin Shu, in addition to doing questions in class, he also participated in a few interviews. He had a good chat, but the results were not good.He called and asked the HR of one of the companies why he was rejected.

HR said: "Because you are not local."

Rather than being rejected due to geographical issues, he would rather the other party say that he is not capable enough.

He called He Jiqing every day before going to bed, and most of the time he was still busy, and it was said that he was busy adapting the novel into a movie script.

But no matter how busy he is, he is willing to set aside some time for him.

He told He Jiqing: "I was rejected for the interview because I am not a local."

He Jiqing said: "This kind of companies that like to select employees by region are all small companies with limited development prospects."

He was very happy to hear that, and he asked He Jiqing: "Is the starring role of your movie decided?"

He Jiqing said: "It's settled, have you heard of Zhang Yang?"

He said he didn't know, and He Jiqing laughed on the phone: "You can watch his movies, they are all good."

He told He Jiqing: "I bought your book, but there are only two of them." These are the latest two.He wanted to buy them all at once, but the bookstore said that most of the previous ones were out of stock and had to wait for reprints.He asked the clerk, is his book selling well?The clerk said that it is very easy to sell, and it is the kind that can be sold short as soon as it is put on the shelves.He felt that He Jiqing was even more powerful than he looked!

He Jiqing said: "After reading it, you have to write a book review for me, the kind with more than 500 words."

He was very embarrassed: "I'm not good at writing."

He Jiqing was laughing on the phone. Hearing his laughter, he also laughed along with him.The roommates heard him calling and laughing every day, gossiping and asking him if he was in a relationship.

He didn't say yes, and he didn't say no, because no matter what the answer was, the roommates would always ask, and the best way to prevent them from asking was not to say.Curious roommates often booed him when he called, yelling "sister-in-law" in the dormitory.

He Jiqing heard it, and asked him with a smile: "Who is sister-in-law?"

"You," he said.

"I'm not sister-in-law, I'm elder brother." He Jiqing said solemnly.

He laughed at his mischief, and asked him: "When are you coming back?" He really missed him.

He Jiqing said, "It's about a week away."

In fact, according to the difficulty of the project, it would not be enough for him to stay for another month.But he didn't want to stay for a week. He told the project leader Jiang Chang that he would do the script this time in Nanjing.Jiang Chang, who has collaborated many times, was very surprised. He used to be in Shanghai, because it was very convenient to meet directors, and he even bought a house in Shanghai because of this.

He Jiqing said: "I don't want the person I like to wait for me for too long."

Jiang Chang was even more surprised that the heartthrob He Jiqing, who was single all year round, actually fell in love!In the circle of screenwriters, everyone thought He Jiqing was a celibate. He was brilliant and handsome. There were many people who liked him, but no one had ever seen him with anyone.

A familiar director once teased him like this: "There are really few people like you who are worthy of you!" Jiang Chang couldn't imagine how outstanding the person standing next to him would be, to rival him.

"What is the other party like?" Jiang Chang asked.

"A child." He Jiqing replied.

"Child?" Jiang Chang couldn't believe it.

"Yes, kid, I haven't graduated from senior year yet." He Jiqing said.

When talking about the object, there is a gentle smile in his eyes.Jiang Chang rarely saw He Jiqing like this, so he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth that He Jiqing actually fell in love with a kid who was a senior.He thought, there must be something special about the other party.

"Kids must be special!"

He Jiqing nodded approvingly: "Yes, it's very special."

Jiang Chang thought, he guessed right: "Take it out to play with me some other day."

"Okay, I'll ask him." He Jiqing readily agreed.He really planned to introduce Lin Shu to his family and friends. He wanted everyone to know him.

Jiang Chang quickly told the news to his friends in the circle, and soon some people who liked He Jiqing wailed, why not him.Someone asked him, have you confessed?The man said, dare not.

Jiang Chang satirized him: "Your liking is just a liking in your mouth, you're in fake death!" He thought, He Jiqing wouldn't care about this kind of liking in his mouth!

After quickly communicating about work matters, He Jiqing returned to Nanjing ahead of schedule, and only called Lin Shu when he reached the gate of Hohai University in Gulou: "What are you doing?"

Lin Shu is doing civil servant test questions in the self-study room. There are many people in the self-study room, and everyone is studying quietly.After he connected the phone, he said in a low voice: "In the classroom, just wait a moment!"

He quickly walked out of the study room with the phone in his arms, before he dared to speak loudly: "Okay! Are you not busy now?" He Jiqing once told him that they get up at noon and are busiest in the afternoon, and now should be their busiest time. when busy.

"I'm not busy for now." He Jiqing said.

"That's good." Lin Shu took the phone and walked to the empty steps and sat down.

"Do you have class in the evening?" He Jiqing asked.

"No." Lin Shu said.

"Then, let me treat you to dinner!" He Jiqing smiled on the phone.

"Aren't you in Shanghai? Don't you come back tomorrow?" Lin Shu couldn't believe it.

"I'm back early."

"what?!!"

"I'm right at the gate of your school!"

"Lied to me?!"

"Really, right at the front door. Should I come in to find you, or will you come to the door to find me?"

He Jiqing didn't wait for an answer, and the phone was hung up.He wrote down the time when the phone was hung up, which was 14:32 pm Beijing time.

Fifteen minutes later, a panting Lin Shu appeared in front of the car, holding a coat and a book in his hand, looking around.The horn was not allowed at the school gate, so he lowered the car window and shouted, "Lin Shu!"

The boy was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly ran over after realizing it.He didn't get into the car directly, but leaned on the window and gasped and asked him, "Why did you come back early? You didn't tell me!"

He Jiqing sized him up, his face was flushed from running, his hair seemed to grow long, covering his eyes, he was wearing a light dark red sports suit, and the same pair of thin pull-back shoes on his feet.

"Run here?" He asked knowingly.

Lin Shu nodded, but his anger had not yet come down.

"Get in the car, it's cold outside." He Jiqing raised his hand to touch his face, his skin was cold.

Lin Shu went around the front of the car and got into the car.With the heater turned on in the car, he let out a long breath: "Nanjing is so cold!"

He Jiqing stared at his feet: "Wan Han started from his feet, you have to change your shoes."

Lin Shu smiled embarrassedly: "Because there is heating in the study room, I didn't wear thick shoes."

He Jiqing was very helpless.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came back early?!" Lin Shu blamed him a bit. His early return ruined his plan. He originally planned to cut his hair in the afternoon, change into nice clothes tomorrow, and buy some hot pot ingredients , cooking hot pot with He Jiqing at home.After eating hot pot, he wants to watch a romantic movie. When the atmosphere is good, he wants to do things with him that he didn't finish last time.He has already downloaded several films, watched and studied them.

"I want to surprise you!" He Jiqing said looking at his aggrieved face.

"I also have a surprise for you." Lin Shu sighed: "But you came back early, and I don't have time to prepare."

"What surprise?" He Jiqing was curious.

Lin Shu curled her lips: "It's not a surprise if I say it."

He Jiqing rubbed his head: "Then I'm really sorry!"

Lin Shu grabbed his hands that were rubbing on his head with both hands, and put them in front of him. His hands were big and warm.He snapped his fingers and said, "I'm very happy that you can come back early." Even if the hair was messed up and the clothes were dirty, he was still very happy to see him.

He Jiqing took his hand and held it tightly.The boy lowered his head halfway, the lines of his side face melted into the afternoon sun, and the fine down on his face glowed softly, like a teenager only in movies, which made people tempted.

The boy slowly raised his head, turned sideways to approach him, and kissed the corner of his mouth lightly.

"I miss you very much." The boy looked at him and said.

He Jiqing held the boy's face and gently stroked his eyes, which were full of admiration for him, undisguised and unavoidable.

"I miss you too." He took the boy into his arms.

Lin Shu lay in his arms, smelling the familiar scent of perfume, tears came down suddenly.When He Jiqing let go of him, he quickly turned his head away to avoid him.

He Jiqing noticed his strangeness, pulled him back, and saw the tears on his face.

"Why are you crying?" he asked him.

When he asked, Lin Shu couldn't stop crying even more.While wiping his tears, he answered him with choked sobs: "It's nothing, I'm just, I'm just..." He almost said "I miss him so much", this kind of rhetoric is too despicable, and he really can't say it.But he couldn't tell the truth.

"Just what?" He Jiqing gently wiped away the tears on his face with a tissue.

Lin Shu shook his head, it was best not to say anything.

He Jiqing wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, rubbed his head, and did not continue to ask questions.He knows that people's first love will always be like this, worrying about gains and losses, and emotional ups and downs.He has never had it before, but he has seen many people like this.Standing far away, looking at him, from falling in love to finally falling out of love, it's like a one-man show, the protagonists are only those people themselves, without him.Only the boy in front of him was crying and laughing in his arms.He enjoyed it, more so grateful.

"Are we eating hot pot tonight?" Lin Shu asked him with red eyes.

The topic changed too quickly, and He Jiqing was amused by his appearance: "Yes, do you want to eat Chaoshan hot pot or Sichuan hot pot?"

"I don't want to." Lin Shu said.

He Jiqing raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you want to eat?"

"Shall we heat the hot pot at home?" Lin Shu didn't want to give up the original plan.

He Jiqing looked at his expectant look, nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

He once wrote in his book the scene of couples hiding at home to boil hot pot in winter, which is very romantic and warm.Too bad it was all in his imagination.He liked Lin Shu's suggestion of hot pot for two.

"Then let's go to the supermarket to buy vegetables first!" Lin Shu said energetically.

"Okay, let's go grocery shopping." He Jiqing started the car.
