love like wind

Chapter 36 Painful and Numb

Regarding the future, Xu Li has long thought about it. After graduating from university, he will work step by step and achieve financial independence as soon as possible.

Even though he and Yang Jiayou grew up together, Xu Li knew very well that they were two completely different people.

Yang Jiayou also won a competition award when he was in high school. In order to be able to stay with his family, he still applied for Nanjing University.Based on Xu Li's understanding of Yang Jiayou, apart from his spare time, Yang Jiayou is still at ease in his studies. He entered the key laboratory of the School of Computer Science in the first semester of his sophomore year, helping his brothers and sisters with projects, and learning new things by himself in his spare time.

For Xu Li, learning is for survival, and for Yang Jiayou, it is a hobby.

Fortunately, once Yang Jiayou got busy, he didn't care about making trouble in front of Xu Li, so Xu Li also felt peaceful.

This weekend, Xu Li found time to go home. Aunt Xu was in the study discussing the translation progress of the manuscript with the editor of the publishing house, while Yang Jiayu was doing homework.After seeing off the editor, Xu Ying called Xu Li over softly: "Why are you free to go home today?"

Xu Li said: "Jiayu is about to take the college entrance examination, and I want to see her study progress."

Yang Jiayu had sharp ears, "I am not left behind."

Xu Ying couldn't help but went to the living room on the first floor with Xu Li.

Xu Li asked, "What's Jiayu's future plan?"

"She should be admitted to an art school. Her piano skills should be fine. It depends on how the culture class is." Xu Ying raised her eyebrows gently, and took out the cookies baked a few days ago, "Try it, it's my first time making .”

Xu Li smiled, ate a piece, and praised: "It tastes good."

Xu Ying brewed two cups of black tea, her eyes were calm, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Jiayu will probably live in school next year. I used to hope that you would grow up, but now that you are gradually not by my side, I feel unaccustomed."

Xu Li comforted: "We will come back often."

Xu Ying took a sip of her black tea, and couldn't help frowning: "Jiayou is really outrageous, he doesn't come back as often as you."

"He is usually busy with his studies, and recently he is helping a senior in the laboratory."

Xu Ying nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Xu Li, does Jiayou have a girlfriend?"

A flash of panic flashed in Xu Li's heart, but fortunately his face was calm, he just smiled and said, "That's not clear."

"Jiayou has been worry-free since he was a child. Even in adolescence, the teachers never approached me and his father because of emotional matters." Speaking of this, Xu Ying had a gratified smile on her face, "It doesn't matter How to put it, Jiayou has grown up too, emotional matters are still left to chance."

For some reason, Xu Li felt guilty when he heard these words. Uncle Yang's family treated him kindly. How could he be moved by Yang Jiayou?How sad would Aunt Xu be if she found out?

Fortunately, he was already a sophomore when talking about these topics, he was no more flustered than when he was adolescence, and he could still keep some things in his heart so that his elders would not notice his abnormality.

On this day, Xu Li accompanied Aunt Xu and Yang Jiayu after dinner before rushing to school.

As soon as I got on the bus, Yang Jiayou called: "You're not at school on the big weekend, where did you go?"

Xu Li put on his earphones and sat by the window: "I'm going home."

Yang Jiayou smiled, "How are my mother and Jiayu?"

"It's all good." Xu Li remembered what Aunt Xu said during the day, with a smile in his voice: "Auntie asked if you have a girlfriend."

There was a brief silence on the call, so Xu Li had no choice but to change the subject: "How do you know I'm not at school."

"I went to your dormitory to look."

"Oh." Xu Li didn't know what to say, so he found an excuse: "I'm almost at the stop, so I'll hang up first."

"Wait—" Yang Jiayou called to stop him, "Which station did you arrive at? I just came out to buy a midnight snack."

Xu Lixin thought that he was still far away from the terminal, so he had no choice but to say: "It will take more than half an hour to transfer in the middle."

Yang Jiayou asked: "Did you come in from the north gate?"

"Ah."

"Alright, I'll come out later." Yang Jiayou hung up the phone directly.

Xu Li stared blankly at the phone screen, wondering why Yang Jiayou didn't order takeaway, but insisted on running out to buy supper at night.

It was almost nine o'clock when Xu Li arrived at the north gate of the school. Looking over from a distance, he saw Yang Jiayou wearing a black T-shirt and looking down at his phone. Because he was wearing earphones, he didn't notice Xu Li come over.

"Jiayou?" Xu Li stood in front of Yang Jiayou and waved his hand in his line of sight.

Yang Jiayou took off the earphones, frowned and complained: "Why did you arrive so late? I waited for you for more than half an hour. Look, the mosquitoes bit my arm several times!" He counted it seriously, "A total of There are 11 of them."

Xu Li wanted to laugh, he felt that Yang Jiayou was really stubborn, so he just waited.

Having said that, the two of them still walked in the direction of the snack street.

He found that Xu Li was always used to slowing down, so Yang Jiayou had no choice but to slow down and wait for him while walking.

The street light was dim, Yang Jiayou turned his head and saw that Xu Li was wearing a gray round neck T-shirt, he was as thin as a paper man, his hair seemed to be a little longer, it looked fluffy, and his sideburns were trimmed nicely.

When he arrived at the barbecue stand he often visited, Yang Jiayou ordered a lot according to his previous habits. The chef asked him, "Do you want to add more spice?"

Yang Jiayou said: "One is extra spicy, one is slightly spicy." He remembered that Xu Li usually eats mildly spicy.

Xu Li stood aside and said, "I'm full tonight."

"Eat as soon as I tell you, there is so much nonsense."

There are many mosquitoes and insects in the open-air barbecue stalls, and the smoke is lingering, making people uncomfortable.After buying supper, the two of them walked back while eating, Yang Jiayou was very good at leisure, and let Xu Li hold all the bamboo sticks after eating.

Yang Jiayou knew that if Xu Li didn't say anything, he must be muttering in his heart again. Thinking of this, he was actually a little happy.

The sidewalk is very quiet, and the summer night is cool. The sycamore trees look extraordinarily green under the lights, and the green light is shining among the leaves.

Yang Jiayou asked: "Are you very concerned about whether I have a girlfriend?"

Xu Li came back to his senses, "No, it's just that Aunt Xu asked."

Yang Jiayou saw cumin rubbed against the corner of Xu Li's mouth, and reached out to help him wipe it off. Xu Li turned his head away, "What are you doing?"

"Why not." Yang Jiayou withdrew his hand, the fingertips still had a soft touch, he was a little dazed.

The two walked side by side, neither of them spoke, Xu Li was gradually able to control his thoughts, and would automatically block inappropriate guesses.

Walking along the boulevard of the campus, Yang Jiayou asked, "What are your future plans? Do you want to study in graduate school?"

Xu Li followed his words and asked, "Where do you want to study in graduate school?"

"Go abroad." Yang Jiayou said in a relaxed tone, "It's a pity that I didn't go out for my undergraduate degree. When Jiayu goes to university and gradually adapts to the new life, I can rest assured to do what I want to do."

"That's pretty good." Xu Li said calmly.

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Yang Jiayou said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Xu Li turned his face to the side and met Yang Jiayou's earnest eyes. He was a little confused, afraid that he would be disappointed, so he said, "I didn't think about it."

Yang Jiayou chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, think about it slowly." Then, he reached for the barbecue wooden stick in Xu Li's hand and threw it into the trash can, "Anyway, we are going to study together."

Xu Li thought wildly for a while, but seeing Yang Jiayou's calm expression, he stopped thinking.

Because the departments are different, the two dormitories are not in the same place. Yang Jiayou didn't change direction, and said, "I just happened to digest food, so I'll see you off along the way."

Xu Li looked at him suspiciously, "I have legs, I can walk by myself."

As he said that, Xu Li quickened his pace, and Yang Jiayou followed after seeing the situation, and grabbed his arm: "Why are you walking so fast?"

Xu Li's breathing became hot, and he thought for a while before saying, "Yang Jiayou, do you know what you're doing?"

Under the street lamp, Xu Li and Yang Jiayou looked at each other, and he saw a trace of panic in his eyes. Yang Jiayou's hand was still not loose, "I can't even talk to you normally now?"

The surroundings were quiet, Xu Li said in a word: "Are you chasing me?"

Sure enough, Yang Jiayou let go of his hand immediately, he couldn't even breathe well, and looked at Xu Li angrily: "Are you sick?"

Xu Liping said calmly: "I am sick."

After finishing speaking, Xu Li walked towards the dormitory, Yang Jiayou didn't follow, this trick really worked.No matter how Xu Liduo wanted to pretend to be normal, he knew very well in his heart that he and Yang Jiayou would never return to their original state.After piercing that layer of window paper, no matter what the plan was, it made people feel ambiguous and disturbed.

Xu Li didn't like this feeling, it was a bit out of bounds.He doesn't like procrastination, so Yang Jiayou forced him to ask him who he likes when he graduated from high school, and Xu Li chose to confess directly. If it wasn't because Yang Jiayu ran away from home, Xu Li would not have stayed in Nanjing, and this relationship would have been sealed forever.

But it was obvious that Yang Jiayou hadn't realized this change, and always thought they were still the same as before.When people grow up, their minds change. When they were young, it was normal to lose control of their thoughts. Now they are adults.

Xu Li would not have the heart before, and would accommodate Yang Jiayou's weird temper. Whether it was the last encounter in the coffee shop, he came angrily to ask Xu Li if he had gouged out his eyes, or Yang Jiayou's usual behavior, Xu Li felt that Something is not quite right.

Yang Jiayou is free and easy and frank, loyal, responsible, and there is nothing to choose as a friend.

Recently, Yang Jiayou has become more and more unreasonable, his mood has changed greatly, and he is even a little willful.

Weird, really weird.

After probing just now, Yang Jiayou's electric shock-like reaction made Xu Li understand something. The disease Yang Jiayou said meant homosexuality, and he probably couldn't accept this kind of rebellious emotional relationship.

That's not very good, anyway, Xu Li didn't expect to get results from Yang Jiayou.

What's more, Yang Jiayou made it clear that he didn't like him without any hesitation.

When stepping into the dormitory door, Xu Li heard the housekeeper aunt say: "The door is about to be locked, why are you back so late?"

Xu Li turned his head and looked down the steps, and found that Yang Jiayou was still standing under the street lamp. Although the distance was far away, the light and shadow fell on Yang Jiayou's body, which made Xu Li feel an emotion called 'complaint'.

Xu Li stood at the door without moving, his palms were a little wet, his heart seemed to be shaking, numb and painful.

He actually wanted to go back and coax Yang Jiayou.

But the next second, when Xu Li turned his head again, Yang Jiayou turned around angrily and disappeared into the darkness.
