love like wind

Yang Zhenhua's wrist trembled a little, and time seemed to stand still.

After a long time, the study door rang, and it was his wife Xu Ying: "Zhenhua, may I come in?"

"Yes." Yang Zhenhua cleared his throat.

Xu Ying saw her husband's expression was focused, and his brows and eyes were condensed with emotion, so she couldn't help asking, "Can I read the letter now?"

Yang Zhenhua came back to his senses, stacked the letters, suppressed his emotions, smiled, and asked without answering: "Can you pour me a cup of tea?"

"What's the matter?" Xu Ying frowned, "I haven't finished drinking yet."

"Could you pour me another glass?" Yang Zhenhua's brows and eyes were soothed, and his tone was very gentle: "Trouble you."

Hearing what her husband said, Xu Ying smiled, "Okay, I'll be back soon, I want to read the letter."

Not long after, Xu Ying put the teacup on the desk, and seeing her husband pressing the letter with her palm, she stretched out her hand: "Give me the letter."

Yang Zhenhua's eyes were warm, "Before reading this letter, I want to say a few words to you."

"What?" Xu Ying turned her head to look, "Is it so mysterious? Jiayu stopped me from watching, and you stopped me too."

"Jiayou wrote very seriously, with a very sincere attitude. No matter how you feel after reading it, don't rush to criticize him, okay?"

Xu Ying's heartbeat quickened, and her eyes were concerned: "Did he encounter any difficulties?"

"No, he is excellent, persistent, and very responsible." Yang Zhenhua folded his fingers, "Actually, I also felt it suddenly, but after reading it, I feel like I understand him a little bit, but it still takes time to accept it."

Xu Ying patted her heart, "I thought some accident happened."

"That's fine." Yang Zhenhua stood up and handed the letter to his wife. "It may take some time for you to digest your emotions, but it's okay. If you're thirsty, drink some tea."

Xu Ying took the letter, "What? Didn't you ask me to pour it for you?"

Yang Zhenhua kissed his wife's forehead, "I'm afraid you might cry, so add some water."

Xu Ying gave her husband a strange look, but didn't take it seriously, and started to read her son's letter.

This afternoon, Yang Jiayu rarely practiced the piano alone at home. After his father came out of the study, he sat on the sofa on the first floor to read a book, his eyebrows and eyes were a little heavy.As soon as her brother left, the house seemed empty. Yang Jiayu remembered what her brother said, no matter what, she had to pay attention to her parents' reactions.

But the strange thing is that the dinner was as usual, and there was nothing abnormal. Yang Jiayu just noticed that her mother's eye sockets were red.But her father was as usual, with a calm expression, and squeezed juice for her.

Yang Jiayu wanted to go back and open his letter, and went back to school after dinner.

Not long after, my brother sent her a WeChat message asking her, "How is it?"

Yang Jiayu said: "It's okay, it's very peaceful."

Yang Jiayou sent a voice over: "Did Mom and Dad ask anything else?"

"No," Yang Jiayu said while walking, "Mom seems to have cried, but she didn't lose her temper."

Yang Jiayou sent a thank you emoji, and said, "Go back and read your letter, and then turn on your laptop."

Yang Jiayu didn't care so much and ran directly to the dormitory, but when she opened the letter, she almost fainted.

Meng Ruyun was applying a facial mask, and saw her with a mournful face: "What's wrong?"

"Look, what kind of stinky brother is this! He doesn't have me in his heart at all." Yang Jiayu almost threw the letter away.

Meng Ruyun moved closer, "Jiayu, this is a website, you want to visit it."

"What website? It's boring. Didn't you say you want to write me a greeting card? Not even a Christmas present." Yang Jiayu said angrily.

Meng Ruyun laughed, "Click to check it out. Your brother is far away in the United States, so he definitely won't send you the URL for no reason."

Having said that, Yang Jiayu closed his eyes, endured his anger, and typed in the URL. The moment he pressed the Enter key, the screen suddenly went black, which startled Yang Jiayu: "What the hell is this URL?"

Meng Ruyun squinted her eyes, "Oh, it's the initial interface."

As the progress bar slid, Meng Ruyun said: "Jiayu, your brother made a website for you, which records your photos from childhood to adulthood."

Yang Jiayu got closer and found out that the website was 'mydearsisterjiayu.com'. She was a little happy but didn't want to show it: "It's not strange, he was originally a computer student."

"But he has set it up, and this website has permission to access."

"What authority, I don't understand." Yang Jiayu rolled his eyes.

"Wait a minute, I'll go wash my face first." Meng Ruyun raised her neck and walked towards the sink.

Yang Jiayu urged: "Ruyun, hurry up—"

After a while, Meng Ruyun came back, wiped his face and said, "Isn't it? Only you, your brother, and a user named Xuli can access this website. Isn't there an access record?"

Yang Jiayu's complexion improved a bit, and when he took a closer look, he found an electronic greeting card with a cherry blossom background picture and a Christmas tree drifting on the screen. A sentence was written on the page: "I wish our Jiayu—the cutest little girl in the world, Merry Chrismas!"

Meng Ruyun pushed her shoulder, "Jiayu, you are so lucky to have such a private website."

Happiness came so suddenly that Yang Jiayu was speechless for a moment.

The other two roommates hadn't come back yet, Yang Jiayu thought for a while before asking: "Ruyun, why didn't you tell me before, my brother likes brother Xu Li." Meng Ruyun told her only later that during a performance, she saw Yang Jiayou kissed the back of Xu Li's hand.

Meng Ruyun asked: "What's wrong?"

"Today, my parents read the letter written by my brother. Although I didn't read it, I thought my brother should tell my parents. My mother cried."

Meng Ruyun sat beside her, "I can't change anything even if I tell you, and it's easy to interfere with your choice."

Yang Jiayu shrugged, "I have no choice. He is my brother. I will support him in whatever he does. Of course, he can't do bad things."

"Your brother is so lucky to have a sister like you."

Yang Jiayu raised his face and smiled.

Now she has also learned how to deal with interpersonal relationships. She can protect herself without relying too much on Meng Ruyun.

After Yang Jiayu handed him the letter belonging to Xu Li, he happened to meet Sun Fanjun, and Xu Li took her to the library to do homework.

When the evening was approaching, the three of them were eating in the school cafeteria, and Yang Jiayu had been helping Sun Fanjun with food: "Eat more."

Xu Li poured Yang Jiayu a drink and said with a smile, "Jiayu has grown up."

Yang Jiayu said: "She is the youngest now, and my brother used to take care of me like this. My mother also said that at this age, I should eat more and grow taller." She raised her chin, "Isn't it?"

Sun Fanjun pursed his lips and smiled, the relationship between her and Xu Li was easing, and with Xu Li's company, Sun Fanjun gradually trusted him.

Although Sun Fanjun is still not used to calling Xu Li 'brother', at least she won't be disgusted when Xu Li calls her 'Lan Lan'.

The years lost when I was young, with the companionship, the family relationship is gradually easing.

In fact, this is quite good. On the household registration book, Sun Fanjun is still the daughter of Sun Zhijian and his wife, and it is not in vain for them to raise their younger sister for so many years.When the siblings get along, Xu Li calls her 'Lanlan', which can be regarded as finding comfort in his heart.

It may be due to his busy studies that Yang Jiayou has not returned to China for more than a year, but he often sends emails to Xu Li, chatting about study and life, and often says: Waiting for you to come.

During the Spring Festival of the following year, Yang Jiayou returned to China to rest for a week. Before that, he wrote a letter and had a frank chat with his parents, so that his mother at least had a buffer in her heart.The long distance resolved a lot of embarrassment and abruptness, and Xu Ying didn't bother to mention it even when they were having New Year's Eve dinner together.

She still served Xu Li food as usual, but the look in Xu Li's eyes deepened a bit.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, fireworks are lit up in the sky above the community, blossoming in the night sky, dazzling.

Yang Jiayou and Xu Li were chatting in the yard, "Where is Lanlan?"

Xu Li said: "Celebrate the New Year with Aunt Li and the others."

"Is Uncle Sun feeling better?"

"much better."

"What about you?" Yang Jiayou asked.

"Me?" Xu Li was startled, "It's okay."

"did you miss me."

Xu Li didn't speak.

In the darkness, Yang Jiayou hugged Xu Li from behind and held his hand, "My parents seem to have gradually accepted it."

Xu Li sniffed, feeling a little uncomfortable, not knowing what to say.

"Don't cry," Yang Jiayou kissed his eyes, "If you miss me, come to me directly."

Xu Li suppressed his emotions, "Maybe we have to wait a little longer, I have to watch Lan Lan go to college before I can rest assured."

"That's pretty fast. Isn't Lan Lan already a senior in high school?" Yang Jiayou kissed Xu Li on the cheek, "I never told you that I applied for a doctoral degree last year."

Xu Li smiled, "That's great." He thought for a while and asked, "How many more years?"

"If all goes well, it will take another two years to graduate with a Ph.D."

"It's a lot of pressure." Xu Li held Yang Jiayou's hand and interlocked his fingers. "There is a lot of pressure in foreign scientific research, and many doctoral students are depressed."

"I'm fine, just deal with it head-on. The current project is going well." Yang Jiayou breathed heavily, "That's fine, I won't miss you so much when I'm busy."

Xu Li touched Yang Jiayou's earlobe with his backhand, and asked, "Jiayou, do you know what is the scariest thing in this world?"

"What is it?"

"Miss you."

Yang Jiayou laughed and kissed Xu Li's palm: "Did you eat candy today? Your mouth is so sweet."

Xu Li smiled and said nothing.

In the dark, Yang Jiayou asked, "Have you received the postcard?"

"received."

"I'm handsome or not."

"cut."

"What do you cut up?"

Xu Li muttered: "You are so nasty, you still call me 'Lili'."

"I love you, I can call you whatever I want to call you."

"You are so unreasonable."

"Can reason catch you?"

"I'll come to see you myself," Xu Li turned around, kissed Yang Jiayou, and held his breath, "Well then, you can call me 'Lili', I'll bear it, I won't do it when I get used to it." It's going to feel nasty."

The two laughed in unison.

Later, Yang Zhenhua and his wife went to the United States together, but this time coincided with Xu Li's master's graduation defense, so he didn't have time to go together.

Yang Jiayu ate the Big Mac as he wished, and waved his hands again and again: "I can't finish it, I really can't finish it."

The family looked at each other and smiled.

After Xu Ying returned to the country, she called Xu Li home for dinner alone. She didn't talk about any sensitive topics, but just gave Xu Li a key: "Jiayou lives alone now, and I will leave the key with you."

Xu Li heard the implication of these words, and was very moved.

Sun Fanjun was later admitted to Southeast University, and Xu Li finally settled his worries.

She often said: "Don't worry about me all the time. I'm a freshman now. I'm living a good life and can do everything."

"Tell me if you don't have enough money." Xu Li was still worried.

Sun Fanjun smiled: "It's enough. My mother has opened a snack bar now. The business is very good, and my father's health is also recovering." Speaking of this, she looked at Xu Li and said softly, "Brother, I have grown up now. When you grow up, you should have your own life."

Hearing the word 'brother', Xu Li felt a warm current in his heart, and he was a little speechless.

"You are usually so busy with work, this time you finally have an annual leave, go and see brother Jiayou." Sun Fanjun smiled clearly.

Xu Li wanted to say something else, but Sun Fanjun hurriedly pushed him to the living room, "Let's eat."

Aunt Li cooked a lot of dishes today, and gently patted her daughter's hand: "Go and wash your hands."

With the help of his brother, Sun Fanjun and his parents now live in a two-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​more than 80 square meters, which can meet the daily needs of a family of three.

Xu Li started working directly after graduating from a master's degree. He worked as an electrical engineer in a state-owned enterprise in a research and development position with a good salary.He usually lives in the dormitory of his unit, and his life is quite convenient. On weekends, he often eats with Uncle Yang and Aunt Xu and asks about their physical condition.

This time, knowing that Xu Li had nearly two weeks of vacation and was going to America to visit Yang Jiayou, Xu Ying prepared a lot of things, "Jiayou is picky about food, usually these seasonings are not easy to buy abroad, so I just took them with me."

Yang Jiayu frowned at the side: "Mom, how can brother Xu Li get so many things?"

Xu Ying said: "Where is there too much? When I really use it, I feel that there is less."

Yang Zhenhua helped pack the suitcase and patted Xu Li on the shoulder: "Listen to mom."

Xu Li was taken aback by these words, and tears welled up in his heart.

Xu Ying's eyes were flushed, and she tried her best to keep her voice steady, "What can I do? I still have to leave it to you."

The family smiled knowingly, and there was warmth in the air.

Xu Ying repeatedly explained to Xu Li: "I sent the address to your mobile phone. Jiayou knows your flight, and he will pick you up when he arrives at San Francisco Airport."

"Okay, I see." Xu Li hugged Aunt Xu, trying his best to restrain his emotions, trying to make them happy.
