love like wind

"Report us safe when you get there," Xu Ying instructed.

"Yes." Xu Li promised with a smile.

Before leaving, Xu Li had to go back to his place of residence. It was midsummer in Nanjing in July, and the temperature in California was also quite high. This time, he was going for two weeks, so he had to bring a few changes of clothes.Aunt Li also gave Xu Li a pack of shortbread: "Here, they are all special snacks. Going abroad is no better than staying at home. Any snack is a concern."

In this way, Xu Li took his family's full love and set foot on the flight to the United States.

It was not difficult to find the place where Yang Jiayou lived. Xu Li arrived a bit late, around twelve o'clock at night.This is an independent house. Xu Li heard from Aunt Xu that Yang Jiayou didn't want to spend too much money, so he found a host family. The landlord was an old friend of his mentor. The house had been vacant for a long time, so he moved in.

Going up the stairs, there is no one in the room, Yang Jiayou is not at home today, he should be busy with other things.

Xu Li moved the suitcase to the second floor, and opened the doors one by one to look around. The master bedroom was covered with dustproof cloth, and the second bedroom was also very spacious, with neat beds. There was also a commemorative photo of Yang Jiayou's master's degree on the bedside table.This should be Yang Jiayou's room.

After more than ten hours of flying, Xu Li was a little tired, and fell asleep in Yang Jiayou's room after hastily washing up.

Yang Jiayou didn't come back until after four o'clock in the morning. Yesterday, he celebrated the graduation of his Ph.D. fellow with his classmates in the research group. He was so excited that he came home very dizzy and fell asleep.The next morning, he was woken up by the alarm clock. The ringtone didn't seem to be his mobile phone, and he couldn't find the source of the sound on the bedside table. He squinted his eyes, poked his hand under the quilt, and felt a warm body, and was immediately frightened out of his wits.

There was a man sleeping next to him, with his back turned to him, in a deep sleep.

Yang Jiayou had a terrible headache and tried his best to think about what happened last night. He never had the habit of bringing people home. After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. Who? Made me look like a gay!"

The man didn't respond, and Yang Jiayou became even angrier.

Until he got closer, Yang Jiayou couldn't breathe, pressed his heart, and said after the catastrophe: "Oh...this is fucking Lili." Then, he closed his eyes: "Hold the grass! I'm so scared to death!" !" He drank a little too much yesterday, patted his head, and became sober, shook Xu Li's arm, and said with a sad face, "Didn't you say you only arrived this afternoon?"

Xu Li closed his eyes, frowned and muttered, "It's so noisy." Then he covered his head with the quilt.

"Okay, okay." Yang Jiayou stepped aside quickly, for fear of disturbing Xu Li, "Go to bed first, I'll make breakfast."

When he got out of the room, he still didn't forget to complain: "Damn it, the surprise turned into a shock, I lost my soul!"

Xu Licai woke up around noon, rubbed his eyes in a daze, and saw the jeans on the single sofa, "Jiayou?"

No one answered.

After a while, the door was gently pushed open. Yang Jiayou moved closer and touched Xu Li's face: "Hey, wake up, get up and eat something."

Xu Li opened his eyes and saw Yang Jiayou's handsome facial features. He seemed to be more mature and stable than the last time he met.Xu Li couldn't help laughing, and slowly covered his face with the quilt.

"Hey——" Yang Jiayou couldn't bring it up, "What are you doing, you're still lying in bed, I haven't settled with you yet!"

The quilt moved, and it was Xu Li who was snickering inside.

Yang Jiayou climbed onto the bed, straddled the quilt, and pulled the quilt, "Tell me yourself why you are scaring me."

Xu Li smiled and tried to escape. At this time, he was sleepy, his hair was fluffy, and his face was fair. When there was no way to hide, he glanced at Yang Jiayou and said in a low voice, "The air ticket is temporarily discounted, so I came early."

"You didn't even tell me when you came," Yang Jiayou breathed heavily, not wanting to be fussy with him, but just asked, "Didn't you only have two weeks off? Why did you arrive early?"

Xu Li said: "My leader is very good. Knowing that I often work overtime and don't ask for leave, I specially approved it for two more days."

"Okay, okay," Yang Jiayou said in a lighter tone, "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit." As he spoke, Xu Li's stomach groaned.

Yang Jiayou was puzzled, and stretched out his hand to scratch Xu Li's itch. Xu Li couldn't breathe from laughing, squirming in the quilt, repeatedly begging for mercy: "Jiayou, I was wrong..."

Hearing what he said, Yang Jiayou's complexion improved a little, and he leaned forward and kissed Xu Li's forehead: "Okay, I forgive you, you get up quickly, sleeping on an empty stomach is not good for your health."

Xu Li yawned, and stretched out his hand to Yang Jiayou, "Hug."

"Get up by yourself."

Xu Li rolled his eyes and looked away unhappy.

Yang Jiayou had no choice but to lean forward. Seeing the situation, Xu Li quickly hugged Yang Jiayou's neck, and smiled next to his ear: "Who do you think I am? I heard what you said this morning." He said, pinching his face: " Aren't you gay?"

"I like you, but I don't like men. What's the problem?" Yang Jiayou pinched Xu Li's waist, "Who is sleeping next to me? Are you willing to mention it?"

Xu Li smiled, couldn't bear to argue with him, stood up straight, and walked to the bathroom, "What's the arrangement for today?"

Yang Jiayou leaned on the threshold, "How to arrange it? You messed up all my plans."

Xu Li was brushing his teeth, his mouth was full of foam, he couldn't speak clearly and said, "Why did I mess up the plan, this is me." He took a sip of water and grunted twice, "I'm creating a plan. "

Yang Jiayou put his arms around his chest, couldn't help laughing, and shook his head helplessly.

After washing up, Xu Li changed into a new T-shirt. When he went downstairs, he found Yang Jiayou's lunch, two pieces of fried steak, a bowl of vegetable salad, and mashed potatoes.Xu Li glanced at Tuduo, and said softly, "Shooting", "I don't like eating potatoes."

"Are you quite picky?" Yang Jiayou sat across from him, straightened his legs, and touched Xu Li's ankle, "It's good to eat something, that's what I do."

Xu Li was eating the cold steak, and seemed to think of something, "Hey? Let's cook hot pot tonight. Aunt Xu packed a lot of hot pot ingredients."

"Didn't you say it earlier?" Yang Jiayou took a sip of the juice, "I said earlier that I'm going to the supermarket to buy ingredients. It's not too early or too late, let's pad my stomach first."

Having said that, the two of them finished their lunch. Xu Li opened the suitcase and explained one by one: "This is a commonly used condiment, and there are several bottles of Laoganma. This is the spicy hot pot base, and there are stir-fried ingredients. As for the crayfish, Aunt Li brought you peach shortbread, Jiayu said the shrimp sticks are delicious, and..."

Yang Jiayou bent down to look at the box, tilted his head and asked, "They all brought me something, what did you bring me? Huh?"

The sight intertwined, the air suddenly became airtight, Xu Li squatted in front of the box, wearing sandals and slippers on his feet, his toes moved uncomfortably, after thinking for a while, he said, "I brought myself here."

Yang Jiayou rubbed his hair, and there was a smile on his nose. Now he gradually felt that as the relationship between the two was recognized by his parents, Lan Lan's life was on the right track, and Xu Lihui would express his true emotions.

Because the plan was disrupted, Yang Jiayou originally wanted to go out to eat with Xu Li and canceled it. After discussing it, the two decided to go to the supermarket together in the afternoon and cook hot pot in the evening to celebrate their meeting.At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned home with big and small bags. Yang Jiayou began to organize the ingredients and put the food in the refrigerator one after another.

Xu Li peeled the oranges and ate them, and asked, "Is the landlord not coming back?"

Yang Jiayou closed the freezer drawer: "He comes here once every two months, he is a person who loves to travel."

Xu Li fed Yang Jiayou a piece of orange, but his brows furrowed: "It's so sour."

"Eat the sour too." Xu Li pinched his ears.

While talking, Yang Jiayou's phone rang, he turned off the tap, went to the living room to talk on the phone.

Xu Li vaguely heard him refusing something. The other party was obviously very enthusiastic and spoke in Chinese: "It's a rare gathering, let's come together."

After a while, Yang Jiayou held down the phone and said softly, "Students from Stanford, it's time for dinner tonight, are you coming?"

Xu Li said: "Go, you can't affect your social life because of me." Studying in a foreign country is relatively lonely.

"Okay, see you tonight." Yang Jiayou agreed, hung up the phone, and put back the beef that was supposed to be thawed. "It seems that dinner will be at a Thai restaurant. Are you used to it?"

"I won't go, I'll wait for you at home." Xu Li hugged Yang Jiayou.

Yang Jiayou saw it, and pinched Xu Li's face with a smile: "There are places where the US Emperor is very free, and no one will make a fuss." He paused and said, "Homosexuality is legal here."

Xu Li took a deep breath, "Alright then."

"I'll eat hot pot in a few days." Yang Jiayou kissed his forehead, "I'm not too busy recently, so I can spend time with you."

At around [-] o'clock in the evening, the two arrived at a Thai restaurant as scheduled. There were flashing lights hanging at the door, and there were people singing in the open-air yard. It could be seen that the business of this restaurant was good.

Yang Jiayou is wearing a gray-blue shirt today, with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, and black casual trousers. Clear muscle lines can be seen from his back.Although he has been working for more than a year, Xu Li still looks like a college student with a fair face.

"Jiayou, I'm a little nervous." Xu Li took half a step slowly.

There were people coming and going in the restaurant, mixed with unfamiliar accents, most of them looked European, and a few Asian faces could be seen.

Yang Jiayou took his hand, "What are you nervous about? They are all classmates I know well. This time you are here just in time. Let me introduce you to them."

As they said that, the two of them walked forward along the aisle and stopped at a rectangular table, almost everyone was there.

The atmosphere was lively, and a curly-haired girl spoke first: "Ethan—"

Looking around at everyone present, there are many Chinese people in today's gathering, Xu Li heard the familiar Chinese: "Hey, I arrived so late."

Everyone noticed that Yang Jiayou was holding Xu Li's hand, and started to boo: "Ethan is really hiding his secrets, causing the girls in the research group next door to suffer from lovesickness."

Accompanied by the uproar, Yang Jiayou helped Xu Li open the seat, and introduced to the classmates: "Xu Li, my boyfriend."

"It's so sweet!" The students started booing, their eyes all focused on the two of them.

Xu Li smiled politely at everyone. The atmosphere was very active. The waiter handed over the menu, and everyone began to pay attention to what to eat for dinner.

Yang Jiayou sat beside Xu Li, and heard Xu Li ask in a low voice, "What did they call you? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Ethan, my English name, easy to remember."

Xu Li thought for a while, and vaguely remembered the words he had memorized before. Ethan is a very poetic word, reminiscent of the snowy winter in England, strong and firm, very suitable for Yang Jiayou's character.

"The three boys sitting in front of you have taken classes with me before, and the girl on the left is one level younger than me, because they are all Chinese, and they usually keep in touch with each other a lot." Yang Jiayou lifted his chin and introduced softly. : "I met that curly-haired girl in a volunteer activity. She is Mexican and very enthusiastic. The other Chinese are also very good-natured."

Xu Li smiled, not as nervous as when he came in.

The atmosphere was relaxed, and no one was overly curious about their relationship.Xu Li finally relaxed. He ate glutinous rice with mango and coconut juice, and the sweet and sour guava juice.Seeing that his cup was empty, Yang Jiayou waved to the waiter politely, and ordered another cup for him.

Since it was the first time to meet Yang Jiayou's circle of friends in the United States, Xu Li was not particularly familiar with many topics, so he just quietly listened to their chat.During the conversation, Chinese and English were exchanged. From academic complaints and sharing, to weather and food, Xu Li also laughed when he heard the funny content.

Yang Jiayou's expression was relaxed, and his right hand rested on the chair behind Xu Li, intimate and proper.

Xu Li turned his face to look at him, and suddenly found that Yang Jiayou has quietly changed in the past few years in a foreign country, his expression is more confident and relaxed, and his short hair is still sharp and neat.It may be due to the habit of maintaining fitness here. Yang Jiayou looks a little stronger than before. California is sunny, and his skin has a healthy wheat color, which makes people feel stable and comfortable.

Time has polished Yang Jiayou's sharpness, making him mature and stable, like a German Shepherd who has experienced many battles, brave and gentle.

Yang Jiayou: When I got angry, I even scolded myself~hahahaha (PS: Potatoes are very cute food, Xu Li, why don’t you eat them (>▽<) You can’t be too double-standard, hahahaha)
